Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Just because Republicans don't want to talk about healthcare with
Speaker 3: the President doesn't mean they don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 3: When John Oliver visited the RNC Winter meeting in Hawaii,
Speaker 3: you found plenty of people eager to chat.
Speaker 4: You foiled this report. Hawaii not only is it an
Speaker 4: island paradise, it's also been held off as a model
Speaker 4: for healthcare reform. Here, government mandates that businesses give health
Speaker 4: insurance to any employee working over twenty hours a week,
Speaker 4: resulting in near universal coverage, which made it the perfect
Speaker 4: place for the Republican National Committee to hold their annual
Speaker 4: meeting and deliver one key message.
Speaker 5: Healthcare reform isn't really a reform.
Speaker 2: It's a boondoggle. It would be one.
Speaker 4: More step towards socialism. Do you think the American people
Speaker 4: should be thanking the Republican Party even destroying the healthcare bill.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, they should be thanking those that have stood up
Speaker 5: for the American people to stop this.
Speaker 4: But for some reason, Hawaiians didn't understand how bad their
Speaker 4: own system was.
Speaker 2: Healthcare is awesome, you know, especially with my baby.
Speaker 6: I'm in between jobs right now, and that they're taking
Speaker 6: on my healthcare free of charge til I get back
Speaker 6: on my feet, and that's awesome.
Speaker 4: Oh, I has awesome healthcare. You have health insurance. This
Speaker 4: guy has health insurance. The guy with a skateboard and
Speaker 4: without functioning shoelaces. Yep, how the fuck does that work out?
Speaker 4: Even visitors to the island were initially impressed.
Speaker 1: The treatment I received here.
Speaker 3: Was the best that the world has to offer.
Speaker 4: Until a few days later when they realized they'd been
Speaker 4: tricked into receiving socialized care.
Speaker 5: You know what I wanted to say at the press conference.
Speaker 3: I wanted to say, I'm just glad this happened before
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen and Obama's healthcare went into effect, because I
Speaker 3: might not have survived it.
Speaker 4: Luckily Republicans were here to save Hawaiians from them. Else
Speaker 4: would you say to Hawaiians who say, I have government
Speaker 4: mandated health care and I love it.
Speaker 5: Do they have government mandated health care here?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Well, I would say that he who pays the biber
Speaker 3: calls a dune right.
Speaker 4: And what would you say to Hawaiian who said, what
Speaker 4: that's meaningless, That's just a bit of folksy nonsense that
Speaker 4: doesn't have any real substance.
Speaker 5: I last right thought, it's just not going to work
Speaker 5: and it will destroy the healthcare system.
Speaker 4: What would you say to Hawaiian who said, you literally
Speaker 4: don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5: Well, I would say that I do, and I would
Speaker 5: hope that you would give me a chance to show
Speaker 5: you there is a better way.
Speaker 4: What if that Hawaii then said, Okay, you've got that chance.
Speaker 4: Dazzle me.
Speaker 5: There are some people that may may believe that government
Speaker 5: run healthcare is okay because they've not had the opportunity
Speaker 5: of seeing how it works on the private side.
Speaker 4: Even Hawaiians who make frequent visits to the emergency rooms
Speaker 4: somehow didn't see it.
Speaker 7: Which I have been and arrest and happen to get
Speaker 7: some stitches. I go into Hawaii and they say, get
Speaker 7: the gurney getting fixed. Dog, you okay? And the doctor
Speaker 7: starts working. I go to the mainland. They say, you
Speaker 7: got insurance?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 7: Is your wallet on you? It's not my wallet that hurts,
Speaker 7: it's my.
Speaker 4: Lip let me get this strike. Dog the bounty hunter
Speaker 4: believes in Hawaiian healthcare.
Speaker 7: Dog the bounty hunter believes in Hawaiian healthcare.
Speaker 4: Correct, These poor bastards just didn't realize they were living
Speaker 4: in a socialist nightmare, forced to scrounch for a living,
Speaker 4: unable even to afford shirts. Many driven to suicide. But
Speaker 4: for those who do survive, what will their world look like?
Speaker 5: Let's look down the road ten years from now, twenty
Speaker 5: years from now.
Speaker 4: Your children, your grandchildren, you can regret.
Speaker 2: How are they going to appeal?
Speaker 4: Going to regret it? Well, we've done it for forty years.
Speaker 3: This isn't something we just started in the last few months.
Speaker 1: For the past few.
Speaker 4: Years exactly, with only four decks ades of testing. America
Speaker 4: simply cannot afford to join this dangerous experiment. What would happen?
Speaker 4: Do you think if this healthcare system made it to
Speaker 4: the mainland? That question I couldn't answer. I'll tell you
Speaker 4: what the answer is.
Speaker 1: Answer every single person in the United States do?
Speaker 4: It would be dead. Thank goodness, we have experts like
Speaker 4: these to save us.
Speaker 1: I don't know about Hawaii.
Speaker 4: I haven't.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've been here before once, but I don't
Speaker 5: know how that has worked.
Speaker 4: What I do know as a is a universal rule.
Speaker 5: It simply does not work.
Speaker 3: John Oliver will be right back. The Dot Frank Act
Speaker 3: is now one year old.
Speaker 1: And here to.
Speaker 3: Discuss the effect it's having and reforming a damaged financial system.
Speaker 3: We're very lucky to have with us Tonight HR forty
Speaker 3: one seventy three.

Speaker 9: Congress passed me without.
Speaker 4: Wall single flaw.

Speaker 9: protecting your investments across the.
Speaker 2: You can hang on there one second. What I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: Dodd Frank?
Speaker 3: What what the hell happened to you?
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it, but you look like.
Speaker 4: Easy. Washington's a tough town. John since getting passed. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've taken a few shots, but I'm still standing. Yeah, yes, yes,

Speaker 2: Wait, there's no director.
Speaker 4: No, not just yet.
Speaker 2: It's been a year.
Speaker 4: Come on, what about Elizabeth Warren? Wasn't she supposed to
Speaker 4: be the director of this thing?
Speaker 2: What happened there?
Speaker 9: Confirmation in the sandage.
Speaker 1: There's no motion.
Speaker 9: FAMA gonna use our recess appointment to give father John
Speaker 9: without her own buddy, Dad don't do it because his
Speaker 9: feelings weren't that strong.
Speaker 3: Wow, But you know what, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: You know what, John, it doesn't matter. I've still got
Speaker 4: four hundreds tough new rules to remake our broken and
Speaker 4: corrupt financial system.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, that's great.
Speaker 3: How are those new four hundred rules working?
Speaker 4: They're working great. The ones that are written are working great.
Speaker 3: The ones that are How many of the four hundred
Speaker 3: new rules have been written?
Speaker 4: Thirty eight? It's a magic number, Yes it is. Oh,
Speaker 4: it's a magic number.
Speaker 9: It might not be four hundred, one hundred and fifty
Speaker 9: or seventy seven, but it's thirty eight, and that's a
Speaker 9: magic number.
Speaker 4: Let's do this. Red Sauce Pitcher Curd Shilling.
Speaker 9: And he clippers forward, Dale Wilkinson, God, he goes.
Speaker 4: Tail back chi river.
Speaker 9: They wal thirty heyes, and it's a magic number.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a magic number.
Speaker 3: Seventy eight is a magic number because Dale Wilkinson makes
Speaker 3: it a magic number.
Speaker 4: You've heard of Wilkinson.
Speaker 3: No, I have not a clippers guy until you mentioned
Speaker 3: him just now.
Speaker 4: No, you'll just have to take my word for it.
Speaker 4: He definitely exists.
Speaker 3: Why weren't the rules written John sticking, love me, love me,
Speaker 3: love me, gets your excesses.
Speaker 4: You love me, love me, lom me get your excess here,
Speaker 4: love me, love me? Does your stop it, stop it,
Speaker 4: stop it? Hold, I can't do this. Play mcgloveist is
Speaker 4: a cop out, John. Here's what's going down. This whole
Speaker 4: financial reform thing is a sham. The only way the
Speaker 4: Congress would pass me was if the he tells of
Speaker 4: my rules and regulations were left unspecified, giving K Street
Speaker 4: lobbyists all the time. They would need to water me
Speaker 4: down post passage. And you know what, exactly, boo exactly,
Speaker 4: Thank you, boys and girls, thank you. And do you
Speaker 4: know what if any actual tough rule managed to squeak
Speaker 4: through Congress, people cut the budget of the agency responsible
Speaker 4: for enforcing it. The whole thing is a giant punt.
Speaker 4: I'm no law. I'm no law, John, I'm just an
Speaker 4: undefined imputent two three hundred piece of legislative. You see this,
Speaker 4: You see this here, John, I stole this orth Thephotic
Speaker 4: Rights Act of nineteen sixty five. I saw the sorry.
Speaker 3: Sorry die, I had no idea, law, I had no idea,
Speaker 3: died Frank, that you have been through so much you don't.

Speaker 1: I'm thinking one of these guys.
Speaker 9: Doing over here just talking and oh.
Speaker 4: A gooba did gaba.
Speaker 1: You know that.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm pretty sure that that doesn't mean anything. She's
Speaker 3: talking about any reaction from from the people of Long
Speaker 3: Island to the debate.
Speaker 4: Let's see, let's see. Actually I talked with herself, wom chick.
Speaker 4: She had a pretty nice rack kind of about a.
Speaker 9: Face anyway, she said, and I quote.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that debate was awesome.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know when you changed from a
Speaker 3: Long Island accent to some serbian thing.
Speaker 4: But uh, hey, are we talking? Are we talking here?
Speaker 1: I thought we were talking?
Speaker 4: John? How long have you been out in Long Island?
Speaker 4: Only two hours? Took the l like doubleh boom or
Speaker 4: just like tree stops only.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna ask you right now.
Speaker 3: Please return immediately to the studio.
Speaker 4: All right, John, It's just I got a better idea,
Speaker 4: a little.
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh, John, Please get me out of here.
Speaker 3: We'll send someone to come and get you, John quickly.
Speaker 4: All right, John, thank you very much. John Oliver.
Speaker 2: Right, all right, we get it, and not for ready enough.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, Morton, I agree with them.
Speaker 6: Well well, well I was come crawling back, Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: I started.
Speaker 4: I know. It's pretty weird to be back. I do
Speaker 4: not like being in that guest room at all. That
Speaker 4: was the one room where I worked here. You were
Speaker 4: not allowed to go in, and I don't like being
Speaker 4: in it now. It feels like I'm doing something wrong
Speaker 4: by being inside it.
Speaker 2: You never you never stuck in to see a guess.
Speaker 4: No no no, no, no, no no no, And we
Speaker 4: were we were never allowed to really be in there
Speaker 4: because it had to be kept nice for the guests,
Speaker 4: and it never really occurred to me one day I
Speaker 4: might be that and I still don't feel so I
Speaker 4: put my bag in there and then stood in the
Speaker 4: corridor for the rest. I don't want to be in
Speaker 4: there at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah. This pased to pretty much my memories. You were here,
Speaker 2: you were in this building.
Speaker 4: I was very much in this building. I was this
Speaker 4: was this was the reason I came to America, and
Speaker 4: I was here for eight years.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Same, That's why. That's why I was so.
Speaker 6: Happy you came on because we people don't know by
Speaker 6: look at us, but we actually have very similar backgrounds
Speaker 6: because we both joined the show. I moved to America
Speaker 6: to do the show, just like you. And when I
Speaker 6: first joined the show, you know, the Daily Show alumni
Speaker 6: network is so strong. I asked to meet up with
Speaker 6: mister Oliver. Yeah, and I think mister Oliver, and he
Speaker 6: was mister Oliver. I was like, there's no way this
Speaker 6: guy's gonna let me meet up with him.
Speaker 2: And you are like, no, come, come before work.
Speaker 4: There's nothing. There's nothing I like more than talking to
Speaker 4: people who have questions about how to make field peace
Speaker 4: because it's the it's that it's such a narrow set
Speaker 4: of skills. Yes, and all you had, all of your
Speaker 4: questions were great. That was I remember you leaving and thinking, oh,
Speaker 4: you're going to be fine even though you don't have
Speaker 4: the answers yet, all your questions are right, So you're
Speaker 4: gonna be fine. You do have a problem, I will
Speaker 4: say before before we make it too since here you
Speaker 4: do have that unique skill set of not minding being
Speaker 4: a dick to people. That really at the end of
Speaker 4: that is the secret source.
Speaker 6: Well, that's that is the I mean, you know, you
Speaker 6: have to really not care to do satire sometimes, and
Speaker 6: everyone's like people, I don't even people know how much
Speaker 6: you don't give up.
Speaker 2: Yes, you truly don't give off.
Speaker 4: Hard in the marrow of my bones. Sometimes when our
Speaker 4: lawyers say they're going to be upset, you go, I'm
Speaker 4: not having a physical reaction to that at all. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's no concern to me whether the Sackler family are
Speaker 4: mad with me. To be honest, I'm a little bit.
Speaker 4: It's a tingle of happiness.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what you need. It's definitely.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you like the feeling that I like the feeling
Speaker 4: of trouble. Yeah, in comedy it's good because I'm probably
Speaker 4: a natural coward in many ways, but when it comes
Speaker 4: to comedy, I do like the feeling of being in Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: You talked about. You said, pushing the button. You just button.
Speaker 2: You just got to push it because I mean, you know.
Speaker 6: And and what was interesting was why when met with
Speaker 6: you this how much you don't give a You made
Speaker 6: me come to your office at eight am, first of all,
Speaker 6: which is yeah, which is extremely early for comedians.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is true. That's an amazing thing about doing
Speaker 4: jobs like this. When you get into comedy, it's not
Speaker 4: generally thinking that you will see a human beings breakfast time. No,
Speaker 4: but yeah, that's what you came. You came very early,
Speaker 4: look right and early, and showered at ah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I came here.
Speaker 6: I talked to her, and I have very specific questions.
Speaker 6: And one thing you told me. I've been using this
Speaker 6: in my podcast rounds. I don't know if it's come
Speaker 6: back to you, but like, uh, when you told me
Speaker 6: it took you two years to relearn how to do
Speaker 6: comedy in America.
Speaker 4: I think that's probably true.
Speaker 6: You want spot onto the day, By the way, I
Speaker 6: was in hindsight, I was sorry, oh my god, because
Speaker 6: I remember there was a day I was in New
Speaker 6: York City gigging at some comedy club and it was
Speaker 6: two years in literally almost to the day, and I
Speaker 6: remember things are trying to click a little bit of
Speaker 6: like relearning how to do comedy because again, like you,
Speaker 6: like me, we were doing comedy outside of America before
Speaker 6: we even came here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I think the outside the perspective in
Speaker 4: comedy always works. The thing with being an immigrant here
Speaker 4: is you kind of have to learn the exact ways
Speaker 4: that your outsider perspective can translate. So you kind of
Speaker 4: have to learn basically how that can work. And once
Speaker 4: it does, you're fine. But until that point, it does
Speaker 4: feel a little bit like unshot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a bit like, you know, you can come
Speaker 6: here and you can joke about America on a very
Speaker 6: surface level, and you can. You can, and that would
Speaker 6: do well for you, for you know, if you have
Speaker 6: a fifteen minute set, maybe thirty minute set. But I
Speaker 6: feel like after nine months or a year in America,
Speaker 6: the audience can can't smell the bullshit of like of
Speaker 6: like you've been here long enough, right, like guns shouldn't
Speaker 6: be weird to you? So so really when that the
Speaker 6: how profound your two year thing was, like it takes
Speaker 6: two years to learn the nuances of America so you
Speaker 6: can make fun of them in ways which yes, exactly,
Speaker 6: they appreciate exactly, like don't tell us we have guns.
Speaker 2: We know we have guns. Tell us something.
Speaker 4: Else, we if we know nothing else about ourselves, that
Speaker 4: we have guns to a genuinely problematic extent, that is
Speaker 4: not a fresh insight we genuinely know, yes, exactly.
Speaker 6: So you are like going deeper and deeper and deeper
Speaker 6: into it, which you know that that was my guiding
Speaker 6: light as well.
Speaker 2: We're not first time.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad, incredibly advice of wait twenty four months.
Speaker 2: It was like a job I still can't live.
Speaker 4: I just digged down and didn't want to hear from
Speaker 4: you again for two years, that's all it worst come
Speaker 4: back come back to look like question in two years
Speaker 4: and then well too, yeahs.
Speaker 6: And I wonder like do you feel like uh satire
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three? Is that you know you've been
Speaker 6: at the show you've seen the Daily Show kind of
Speaker 6: evolve over a lot of time. Then when you join
Speaker 6: the show, I don't there wasn't anyone else doing it
Speaker 6: kind of, there wasn't TikTok, there wasn't Instagram.
Speaker 4: Oh no, there wasn't those things, right, So.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a bunch of you know, like assholes on
Speaker 6: talking about you know, like trying to do satire, be
Speaker 6: it up all the time, and so what Sorry, now
Speaker 6: now I'm just attacking a bunch of people on.
Speaker 4: I think you're now attacking the entire population of TikTok
Speaker 4: the truck.
Speaker 6: Yeah no, I'm hosting for one day, Come at me,
Speaker 6: tik talk.
Speaker 4: I was just trying to stop the ground shut. If
Speaker 4: you have a monogram shirts, oh yeah, yeah, that's a
Speaker 4: very fancy shirt.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, this one is.
Speaker 6: I got this shirt made in New York City, Chinatown,
Speaker 6: and you no, he's a he's a legit tailor. And
Speaker 6: then he asked me if I wanted my Chinese name
Speaker 6: embroidered on it, and I was like, go for it.
Speaker 6: And then now it just looks like a mustard steak.
Speaker 4: Yeah it doesn't look like my son talked a little
Speaker 4: bit like a mussele stylish mustard stack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you guys get fancy suits when.
Speaker 4: You know we got no suits? We got I cannot
Speaker 4: we we were not given any. I never owned a sun.
Speaker 4: This boomer.
Speaker 2: Coming on a daily shot telling us how good we
Speaker 2: have it. Now you mean to have a desk, We
Speaker 2: have cameras.
Speaker 4: To go to go to a place to buy us
Speaker 4: and doing Philip is you wreck them all the time?
Speaker 4: For years here we did not. There's nothing that made
Speaker 4: ex correspondence more angry than hearing that we got three
Speaker 4: suits when we did and yeah, that was the thing
Speaker 4: that bothered them. So there's no no, you should have
Speaker 4: to go into the hole every year just to get
Speaker 4: a presentable suits. Now look at you, spiffy.
Speaker 2: Now did the show pay for that? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Monographs, you get monographed shirts?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you know.
Speaker 4: How many Central has changed. I know things are a
Speaker 4: little chopping here, but monogram shirts.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 2: I told them they they're monogrammy, they're racist. And then
Speaker 2: they're just oh, because.
Speaker 4: That's that's a move that I can't make.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like that's the thing, Like we're both immigrants
Speaker 6: in America, and do you ever I guess my question
Speaker 6: to you is like what how do you answer the
Speaker 6: people who are like, if you don't like it here, leave, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I get that a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I guess they took it's a I mean,
Speaker 4: it's a horrible points, but it's a fair question. I guess.
Speaker 4: Now my answer would be I'm a citizen. You can't
Speaker 4: don't do that. But I mean, the tricky thing is
Speaker 4: I felt ownership. It's very dangerous. A British person saying
Speaker 4: I felt ownership of this country historically, historically does not know. Well,
Speaker 4: it's amazing. I just went to India and I felt
Speaker 4: like I belonged. But I felt at home here long
Speaker 4: before my legal status was solid. That's the tricky thing
Speaker 4: as an nemmigrant. But the more I felt at home here,
Speaker 4: the more cognizant you are of the fact that it's
Speaker 4: not up to you whether or not you get to
Speaker 4: stay or not. So it was a massive relief to
Speaker 4: get my green card and an even bigger relief to
Speaker 4: get my citizenship. So yeah, despite the fact immigrants tend
Speaker 4: to talk shit, it's generally the kind of way that
Speaker 4: you talk ship with someone you genuinely love. Sure, as
Speaker 4: a comedian, I only really talk ship as a way
Speaker 4: of expressing professionally exactly, I don't really know how to
Speaker 4: express myself sincerely. I like you, I'm never going to
Speaker 4: say that your show.
Speaker 2: That's about I was.
Speaker 6: I was back on that other point, like, do you
Speaker 6: feel as a place for satire? Like basically, the the
Speaker 6: news is so crazy right now, reality is sometimes matching
Speaker 6: up to the news sometimes in that environment, do you
Speaker 6: feel that satire is still possible? Like, you know, when
Speaker 6: you're doing a joke ironically, do you feel like people
Speaker 6: can get it that you're trying to ironically be the
Speaker 6: bad guy in some you know?
Speaker 4: Oh, you mean like if you're doing film because we
Speaker 4: used to play the bad guy in film piece, right,
Speaker 4: you would say things you did not mean just to
Speaker 4: embody an argument that you do not agree with. I
Speaker 4: mean in film pieces, that's the way that we would
Speaker 4: operate all the time. In general, I mean our shows
Speaker 4: a little different, like we're not in the and.
Speaker 2: That's your show and asking about what for me?
Speaker 6: But this show we got you and you figured it out.
Speaker 2: Talk about I'm talking about for me?
Speaker 4: Like I think this, I think there'll always be a
Speaker 4: place for satire. I mean there was a place for
Speaker 4: in Germany, in the thirties. It didn't seem to work
Speaker 4: out that well over there, but they gave it a go. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So no, I think there will always be and I'm
Speaker 4: like you, I'm happy for people online to try and
Speaker 4: do it as well. Ronnie really would like nobody to have.
Speaker 6: A volady all about earning your voice like me I did.
Speaker 6: I had to get on the show the get a voice.
Speaker 6: You don't get a voice just in your underwear.
Speaker 4: On Instagram, Ronnie regrets that gatekeepers have been removed from
Speaker 4: the process. You really liked the gates.
Speaker 2: I love the gig. Yet it was so tough to
Speaker 2: come here. You know. I was very tough for me
Speaker 2: to come here. I like you, I also really wanted
Speaker 2: to come here.
Speaker 4: That is the thing. I don't think Americans understand how
Speaker 4: rough the US immigration process is. When they say come
Speaker 4: to people, come in the right way. I don't think
Speaker 4: they realize how literally impossible that is in some in
Speaker 4: some aspects. When when I got my green card here,
Speaker 4: they brought it to me in my office upstairs and
Speaker 4: they gave me a Budwiser and an apple pie with
Speaker 4: a little American flag in it. And I think they
Speaker 4: would give it as if like here's a joke, right, oh,
Speaker 4: you got it, and you're always going to get it.
Speaker 4: Here it is and I nearly lead crying, and so
Speaker 4: for a British person, nearly crying is crying that just
Speaker 4: as I can com But I was so relieved because
Speaker 4: I was worried about it so much. So I think
Speaker 4: you tend to find when we were talking before, exactly
Speaker 4: when when you find out someone just got their green card,
Speaker 4: you can kind of almost feel the relief coming off
Speaker 4: it because it's such a concern.
Speaker 6: It's not easy on the top of the green card.
Speaker 6: Even the visa before the green cards incredible. It's called
Speaker 6: it's called the extraordinary ability visa.
Speaker 2: Yes, you have to prove first of all that you.
Speaker 6: Have extraordinaribility, which I challenge anyone to do unless you're
Speaker 6: freaking an NBA player someone foot. And then second, boy,
