John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” has quickly become one of the most viewed shows on television, and after an episode airs, a clip from the show always goes viral on YouTube the next day.
That’s in main part thanks to the structure of the show. After going through some brief news stories and skits, Oliver devotes the bulk of his show to a single topic that he’ll tackle in depth, nearly always from a left-wing perspective. The latest topic he devoted his end-of-show segment to involved US Border Patrol and the problems that Donald Trump’s hiring spree could cause.
His argument is relatively simple in this case. There have been problems with corruption among the ranks of U.S. Border Patrol in the past (among other issues he outlines), therefore hiring more border patrol agents will only exacerbate those problems.
The main problem with his argument is that his statistics are out of date, so the first premise of his argument is bogus. Steven Crowder looked at the most recent statistics regarding the problems Oliver outlined – and they’ve changed quite a bit.
Watch his rebuttal below:
Even if Oliver’s statistics were right, how is his argument anything other than “border patrol isn’t 100% effective and efficient, therefore we don’t need border control”?
That’s insanity. But it’s not surprising coming from a left-wing loon like Oliver.

Watching this mood is a waste of time and energy. His constant rant is so intense that eve the audience cannot grasp what he’s saying. What a twit.
John Oliver is a very funny guy. My son gets a big kick out of watching him, as have I on occasion. I worry that his lack of balance and overwhelmingly Progressive (now THERE’s an oxymoron) agenda subtly woos you to his side – but of course, that’s what propaganda is for. Were it not for Mark Steyn, or Stefan Molyneux, or Katie Hopkins, and a few others, I swear anytime I heard a British-y accent (yes, I know their provenances) I would tune out in a knee jerk. Here’s a clue: the pro in Progressive masquerades the reality that the word really represents a Regression – to a time of subjects under the (much-smarter-than-you-or-I, of course) government’s thumb. Run along, deplorables, we’ll have the scraps ready for you in a minute.
Not just the UK, but the entire bloody continent has succumbed to the Progressive siren song, and is now in a period of social implosion – between high taxes, political correctness, and unbridled, insane immigration and refugee policies. But that proper accent makes you think they are so sophisticated, that they must be right. Right? Anyone with an upper crust argot must be my better, right? White shoes mean smart and insightful, right? And life would be so much better if I didn’t have to worry about things like voting and representation, right?
Nope.
Who is John Oliver? This guy is supposed to be funny?? Really??
Who is Steven Crowder?
Who is germs and jerkoff required?
23% of all prisoners are illegal aliens. I guess that they were not given the word that illegals are much more peaceful and law abiding than American citizens.
