That's terrifying.

That's fair.

Joe, Regional Vice President, PG&E.

We have to run the business in a way that keeps people safe, but it starts driving costs down.

I would love to see that.

We're on our way.

I hope so.

Just because Republicans don't want to talk about health care with the president doesn't mean they don't want to talk about it. When John Oliver visited the RNC winter meeting in Hawaii, he found plenty of people eager to chat.
He filed this report. Hawaii.
Not only is it an island paradise, it's also been held up as a model for healthcare reform Here, government mandates that businesses give health insurance to any employee working over 20 hours a week resulting in near universal coverage which made it the perfect place for the Republican National Committee to hold their annual meeting and deliver one key message Healthcare reform isn't really a reform, it's a boondoggle. It would be one more step towards socialism.
Do you think the American people should be thanking the Republican Party for destroying the healthcare bill? Absolutely, they should be thanking those that have stood up for the American people to stop this. But for some reason, Hawaiians didn't understand how bad their own system was.

Healthcare is awesome, you know, especially with my baby.

I'm in between jobs right now, and they're taking on my healthcare free of charge

till I get back on my feet, and that's awesome.

Hawaii has awesome healthcare, right?

You have health insurance. This guy has health insurance.

The guy with a skateboard and without functioning shoelaces. Yep.
How the f*** does that work out? Even visitors to the island were initially impressed. The treatment I received here was the best that the world has to offer.
Until a few days later when they realised they'd been tricked into receiving socialized care.

You know what I wanted to say at the press conference?

I wanted to say, I'm just glad this happened before 2013 and Obama's health care went into effect because I might not have survived it.

Luckily, Republicans were here to save Hawaiians from themselves.

What would you say to Hawaiians who say, I have government mandated health care and I love it? Do they have government mandated health care here? Yes. Well, I would say that he who pays the piper calls a dune.
Right. And what would you say to Hawaiian who said, what? That's meaningless.
That's just a bit of folksy nonsense that doesn't have any real substance. I lost my thought.
It's just not going to work and it will destroy the health care system. What would you say to a Hawaiian who said you literally don't know what you're talking about? Well, I would say that I do and I would hope that you would give me a chance to show you there is a better way.
What if that Hawaiian then said, OK, you've got that chance, dazzle me. There are some people that may believe that government-run health care is okay because they've not had the opportunity of seeing how it works on the private side.
Even Hawaiians who make frequent visits to the emergency room somehow didn't see it. I have been in an arrest and happened to get some stitches.
I go into Hawaii and they say, get the gurney, get him fixed, dog, you're OK, and the doctor starts working. I go to the mainland and they say, you got insurance.
Right. Is your wallet on you? Right.
It's not my wallet that hurts, it's my lip. Let me get this straight.
Dog the bounty hunter believes in Hawaiian health care. Dog the bounty hunter believes in Hawaiian health care, correct.
These poor bastards just didn't realise they were living in a socialist nightmare. Forced to scrounge for a living, unable even to afford shirts.
Many driven to suicide. But for those who do survive, what will their world look like?

Let's look down the road.

Ten years from now, 20 years from now,

your children, your grandchildren... You're going to regret it.

How are they going to pay for this?

You're going to regret it.

Well, we've done it for 40 years.

This isn't something we just started in the last few months or past few years.

Exactly.

With only four decades of testing,

America simply cannot afford to join this dangerous experiment.

What would happen, do you think, if this healthcare system made it to the mainland? That question I couldn't answer. I'll tell you what the answer is.
What is the answer? Every single person in the United States would die. It would be dead.
Thank goodness we have experts like these to save us. I don't know about Hawaii.
I haven't, I mean, I've been here before once, but I don't know how that has worked. What I do know is as a universal rule, it simply does not work.
John Oliver, we'll be right back. The Dodd-Frank Act is now one year old and here to discuss the effect it's having in reforming a damaged financial system, we're very lucky to have with us tonight, H.R.
4173, the Dodd-Frank Act, everybody! I am a law, a 2,000-page law.

Congress passed me without one single flaw.

I make sure Wall Street plays by the new regulations.

Protecting your investments across the entire nation. I'm sorry, Mr.
Piper, quickly.

I'm sorry, just hang on there one second.

What?

I'm sorry, Dodd-Frank.

Uh-huh.

What? What the hell happened to you? What do you mean? I don't want to say it, but you look like . Oh, hey, easy.
Washington's a tough town, John. Since getting past, yeah, I've taken a few shots, but I'm still standing.
Yeah, yes, yes, I'm still standing. I'm still here.
In fact, just last week, my all-new Consumer Financial Protection Board opened for business. As soon as it gets a director, we'll be off to the races.
So wait, there's no director? No, not just yet. It's been a year.
Come on. What about Elizabeth Warren? Wasn't she supposed to be the director of this thing? What happened there? Confirmation.
In the Senate, there's no motion. Obama could have used her recess appointment to give her the job without her vote, but he didn't do it because his feelings weren't that strong.
Wow. Yeah.
Yeah. But you know what? That's interesting.
You know what, John? It doesn't matter. I've still got 400 tough new rules to remake our broken and corrupt financial system.
Well, you know what? That's great. How are those new 400 rules working? They're working great.
The ones that are written are working great. The ones that are...
How many of the 400 new rules have been written? Hmm. 38.
It's a magic number. Yes, it is.
Oh, it's a magic number. It might not be 400 or 150 or 77, but it's 38.
And that's a magic number. Let's do this.
Red Sox pitch a Curt Schilling. L.A.
Clippers forward Dale Wilkinson. Probably just tailback.
Reggie Rivers, they walk 38. And it's a magic number.
Oh, it's a magic number. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but 38 is a magic number because Dale Wilkinson makes it a magic number?

You've heard of Dale Wilkinson?

No, I have not.

The Clippers guy, until you mentioned him just now.

No, I have not heard of him.

You'll just have to take my word for it.

He definitely exists.

Why weren't the rules written, John?

Stick me.

Lobby, lobby, lobby, get your access here.

Lobby, lobby, lobby, get your access here. Lobby, lobby, that's your...
Stop it, stop it, stop it, hold it, I can't do this Blaming lobbyists is a cop-out, John Here's what's going down, this whole financial reform thing is a sham The only way that Congress would pass me was if the details of my rules and regulations were left unspecified Giving K Street lobbyists all the time they would need to water me down post-passage. And you know what? Exactly! Boo! Exactly! Thank you, boys and girls.
Thank you. And you know what? If any actual tough rule managed to squeak through, Congress people cut the budget of the agency responsible for enforcing it.
The whole thing is a giant punt. I'm no law.
I'm no law, John. I'm just an undefined, impotent, 2,300-page piece of legislative...
You see this? You see this here, John? I stole this off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I'm sorry, John.
I'm sorry. This isn't even isn't even mine.
I'm sorry. I had no idea, Law.
I had no idea, Dodd-Frank, that you have been through so much. You don't know what you're talking about.
You haven't seen the things I've seen. I know.
I'm just a law, but my ass was raw, and my balls put through a circular saw

And everyone who swore

Up and down to support me

Now they want Planned Parenthood to

Late-term abort me

Last night I got hit by a car

It's gone too far for this law

Did I mention my ass was raw?

The Don Frank Act, everybody. We'll be right back.

I have no idea.

The debate, of course,

being held tonight

in Hempstead, Long Island

at Hofstra. John, thank you so much

for joining us. Ain't no problem, Johnny.

Least I can do, all right? Obviously, make-or-break night for John McCain. How did the candidates do, John? Come on, John.
It was a real ragooch. You got one guy over here doing this, one guy over there doing that.
I'm thinking, what are these guys doing over here? Just talking and s***. Agoobada gabada goobada.
Oh! Oh! Agoobada gabada goobada? You know, that, I'm pretty sure that that doesn't mean anything. What's she talking about? Any reaction from the people of Long Island to the debate? Oh, let's see, let's see.
Actually, I talked with this one chick. She had a pretty nice rack.
Kind of a butter face. Anyway, she said, and I quote, Oh, my God! The debate was awesome! You know.
I don't know when you changed from a Long Island accent to some Serbian thing, but uh... Hey, are we talking or are we talking here? I thought we were talking.
John, how long have you been out in Long Island? Only two hours!

Took the, uh...

Took the LIRR.

Boom!

It was just like three stops.

Only three.

I'm gonna ask you.

I'm gonna ask you right now.

Please return immediately to the studio.

All right, John? It's just...

I got a better idea.

I'm a little gabagoo! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! John, please get me out of here. We'll send someone to come and get you, John.
Quickly! All right, John. Thank you very much.

All right, all right. We get it.
Enough already. Enough.
I agree with you more than I agree with them. Well, well, well.
Look who's come crawling back. Yes.
Where it all started. I know.
It's pretty weird to be back. I do not like being in that guest room at all.
Oh, really? That was the one room I worked here you were not allowed to go in, and I don't like being in it now. It feels like I'm doing something wrong by being inside it.
You never snuck in to see a guest one night? No, no, no, no, no, no. We were never allowed to really be in there

because it had to be kept nice for the guest.

And it never really occurred to me one day I might be that

and I still don't feel it.

So I put my bag in there and then stood in the corridor

for the rest of the day.

I don't want to be in there at all.

Yeah, but this place brings back so many memories.

You were here, you were in this building.

I was very much in this building.

This was the reason I came to America.

And I was here for eight years? Yeah, same. That's why I was so happy you came on.
Because people don't know by looking at us, but we actually have very similar backgrounds. Because we both joined the show.
I moved to America to do this show, just like you. And when I first joined the show, the Daily Show alumni network is so strong, I moved to America to do this show just like you, and when I first joined the show, you know, the Daily Show alumni network is so strong,

I asked to meet up with Mr.

Oliver. You came to the office.

Mr. Oliver.

He was Mr. Oliver, I was like,

there's no way this guy's going to let me meet up

with him, and you were like, no, come

before work. There's nothing

I like more than talking to people who have questions

about how to make field pieces, because

it's such a narrow

set of skills, and all

Thank you. Come before work.
There's nothing I like more than talking to people who have questions about how to make field pieces. Yeah.
Because it's such a narrow set of skills. Yes.
And all of your questions were great. I remember you leaving and thinking, oh, you're going to be fine.
Even though you don't have the answers yet, all your questions are right, so you're going to be fine. You do not have a problem.
Oh, thanks, everyone. I will say, before we make it too sincere, you do have that unique skill set of not minding being a dick to people.
And that really, at the end, that is the secret sauce. Well, that is the, I mean, you know, you have to really not care to do satire sometimes.
Yes. Everyone's like, people, I don't think people know how much you don't give a f***.
Yes. Like, you truly don't give a f***.
You will go hard. In the marrow of my bones, sometimes when our lawyers say they're going to be upset, you go,

I'm not having a physical reaction to that at all.

It's of no

concern to me whether the Sackler family are mad

with me or not.

To be honest, I'm a little bit, it's a tingle of happiness.

Yeah, but that's kind of

what you need to do it.

I like the feeling of trouble.

Yeah, you do. In comedy, because I'm probably the feeling of trouble.
Yeah, you did, yeah.

In comedy,

because I'm probably

a natural coward in many ways,

but when it comes to comedy,

I do like the feeling

of being in real trouble.

Yeah, it's weird.

You talked about it.

You said pushing the button.

Yeah, exactly.

You said there's a button,

you just got to push it.

Yeah, exactly.

Because, I mean,

you know,

and what was interesting

was when I met with you,

this is how much

you don't give a f***.

You made me come to your office

at 8 a.m., first of all, Which is extremely early for comedians. Yeah, that is true.
That's the amazing thing about doing jobs like this. When you get into comedy, it's not generally thinking that you will see a human being's breakfast time.
No. But yeah, that's right.
You came very early. You looked bright and early.
You showered. I had no complaints.
Yeah, and I came and I talked to you, and I had very specific questions. And one thing you told me, I've been using this in my podcast rounds.
I don't know if it's come back to you, but when you told me it took you two years to relearn how to do comedy in America. I think that's probably true.
You were spot on to the day, by the way. In hindsight, I was like, oh, my God.
Because I remember there was a day I was in New York City gigging at some comedy club. And it was two years in, literally almost to the day.
And I remember things just starting to click a little bit of like relearning how to do comedy. Because again, like you, like me, we were doing comedy outside of America before we even came here.
Yeah, and so I think the outsider perspective in comedy always works. The thing with being an immigrant here is you kind of have to learn the exact ways that your outsider perspective can translate.
So you kind of have to learn basically how that can work. And once it does, you're fine.
But until that point, it does feel a little bit like uncharted waters. Yeah, it's a bit like, you know, you can come here and you can joke about America on a very surface level, and that will do well for you for, you know, if you have a 15-minute set, maybe 30-minute set.
But I feel like after nine months or a year in America, the audience can kind of smell the bullshit of like, you've been here long enough. Yes.
Right. Like, guns shouldn't be weird to you.

That's right.

So really, how profound your two-year thing was.

Like, it takes two years to learn the nuances of America

so you can make fun of them in ways which...

Yes, exactly.

They appreciate.

Exactly.

Like, don't tell us we have guns.

We know we have guns.

Tell us something else.

If we know nothing else about ourselves,

it's that we have guns to a genuinely problematic extent. If we know nothing else about ourselves, it's that we have guns to a

genuinely problematic extent.

That is not a fresh insight.

We genuinely know.

So you were going deeper and deeper

into it, which, you know,

that was my guiding light as well when I first

started here. I'm so glad.
My incredibly

insightful advice of wait 24

months worked.

It worked like a charm. I still can't believe it.

I just deep down didn't want to hear from you again for two years.

That's all it was.

Come back with the same question

in two years and then we'll talk.

You're smart.

I wonder, do you feel like

satire

in 2023?

You've been at the show. You've seen the Daily

Show kind of evolve over a lot of times.

When you joined the show, there wasn't anyone

else doing it, kind of. There wasn't

Thank you. satire in 2023 is that you know you've been at the show you've seen the daily show kind of evolve over a lot of times and when you joined the show I don't there wasn't anyone else doing it kind of there wasn't TikTok there wasn't Instagram oh no there wasn't those things right so so it wasn't a bunch of you know like assholes on talking about you know like trying to do satire but it up all the time and and so what Sorry, now I'm just attacking a bunch of people on social media.
I think you're now attacking the entire population of TikTok for trying. Yeah, no, I'm down.
I'm hosting for one day. Come at me, TikTok.
I was distracted by... Is that a monogram shirt? What? Do you have a monogram shirt? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a very fancy shirt, Ronnie. Oh, yeah, yeah.
This one is, I got this shirt made in New York City, Chinatown. Wow.
No, he's a legit tailor. And then he asked me if I wanted my Chinese name embroidered on it.
I was like, go for it. And then now it just looks like a mustard stain.
Yeah, it doesn't look like a mycernia at all. It does look a little bit like a mustard stain.

It's a really stylish mustard stain. Yeah, did you guys get fancy suits when you...

No, we got no suits.

I cannot, we were not given

any suits. I'd never owned a suit.

Check out this boomer

coming on the Daily Show telling us how good

we have it now without camera. You really do.

We didn't have a desk. We didn't have cameras.

We had to go to a place to buy a suit. doing Philpies, you wreck them all the time.
For years here, we did not. There's nothing that made ex-correspondents more angry than hearing that we got free suits when we did.
And, yeah, that was the thing that bothered them the most. No, you should have to go into the hole every year just to get a presentable suit.
now look at you you're spiffy now did the show pay for that yeah monograms you get monogrammed shirts now yeah well you know comedy central has changed i know things are a little choppy here but monogrammedmed shirts? No, I told them if they didn't monogram it, they were racist. And then they just did, yeah.
Oh, that's a move that I can't make. Yeah, but, like, that's the thing.
Like, we're both immigrants in America. And do you ever, I guess my question to you is, like, how do you answer the people who are like, if you don't like it here, leave? Because I get that a lot.
Yeah, I mean... I guess they took...
I mean, it's a horrible point, but it's a fair question. I guess now my answer would be, I'm a citizen.
You can't do that. But I think...
The tricky thing is I felt ownership... It's very dangerous.
A British person saying, I felt ownership of this country historically... Historically, it does not go well.
It's amazing. I just went to India and I felt like I belonged.
But I felt at home here long before my legal status was solid. That's the tricky thing as an immigrant.
The more I felt at home here, the more cognizant you are of the fact that it's not up to you whether or not you get to stay or not. So it was a massive relief to get my green card.
And an even bigger relief to get my citizenship. So, yeah, despite the fact immigrants tend to talk shit, it's generally the kind of way that you talk shit with someone you genuinely love.
Sure. As a comedian, I only really talk shit as a way of expressing love.
Professionally. Exactly.
I don't really know how to express myself sincerely. Right, right.
I like you. I'm never going to say that.
F*** you, Ronnie. There you see.
There we go. Yeah, f*** you and your show.
That's all we love. That's it, but I was back on that earlier point.
Like, do you feel there's a place for satire? Like, basically, the news is so crazy right now. Reality is sometimes matching up to the news sometimes.
In that environment, do you feel that satire is still possible? Like, you know, when you're doing a joke ironically, do you feel like people can get it, that you're trying to ironically be the bad guy in some, you know? Oh, you mean like if you're doing Phil Pieces? Because we used to play the bad guy in Phil Pieces, right? You would say things you did not mean just to embody an argument that you do not agree with. Yeah.
I mean, yeah, in Phil Pieces, that's the way that we would operate all the time. In general, I mean, our show's a little different.
Like, we're not in the... Yeah, I'm not asking about your show, I'm asking about For Me.
For this show, we get it, you know, you figured it out, I'm talking about For Me. I think there's, I think there'll always be a place for satire, I mean, there was a place for it in Germany in the 30s, it didn't seem to work out that well over there, but they gave it a go.
Yeah, yeah. So no, I think there will always be, and I, unlike you, I'm happy for people online to try and do it as well.
Ronnie really would like nobody to have a voice. No.
All about earn your voice, like me. I did.
I had to f***ing get on this show to get a voice. You don't get a voice just because you're in your underwear on Instagram.
Ronnie regrets that gatekeepers have been removed from the process. He really liked the gates.

I love the gatekeepers.

It was so tough to come here.

It was really tough for me to come here.

I like you.

I also really wanted to come here.

That is the thing.

I don't think Americans understand how rough the U.S. immigration process is.

When they say to people, come in the right way,

I don't think they realize how literally impossible that is in some aspects.

When I got my green card here, they brought it to me in my office upstairs and they gave me a Budweiser and an apple pie with a little American flag in it. And I think they were giving it as if, like, here's a joke, right? Oh, you got it.
You were always going to get it. Here it is.
And I nearly cried. And for a British person, nearly crying is crying.
That's as close as I can come.

But I was so relieved because I was worried about it so much.

And so I think you tend to find, like when we were talking before,

exactly, when you find out someone just got their green card,

you can kind of almost feel the relief coming off it

because it's such a concern.

It's not easy.

No, it is not easy.

In fact, don't even talk about the green card.

Even the visa before the green card. It's incredibly hard.
ability visa. You have to prove, first of all, that you have extraordinary ability, which I challenge anyone to do.
Unless you're freaking an NBA player. Second of all, it's like, if you don't constantly prove that you're...
they can deport you. Like Like if I have a bag segment on The Daily Show, I'm...
That's right. Yeah.
You did not demonstrate extraordinary ability. That was at median level ability.
That is the worst thing about coming in on a visa is like occasionally they'll look at the visa and say, what do you do? Because they're expecting a surgeon. Yeah.
Someone with a marketable skill. And the moment you say comedian, like that's, this is not for you.
That's not, and also then if it's, oh, go tell me something funny, like, or what? Is this a fun bit? Or is this the moment I get deported? Do I need a joke on hand? It demonstrates extraordinary ability in terms of wordcraft. Yes, it's incredibly stressful in a way people don't understand.
Yeah, so in a weird way, I'm with you in that, like,

immigrants to America who come here

actually want to be here and have fought to be here,

and we're the ones who get shit done here.

Yes.

Because we had to f***ing prove it every single time.

That's right.

Immigrants.

Immigrants.

That's right.

We get the job done.

Yeah.

Yeah, I would say what is more quintessentially American than coming to a country you don't belong in and deciding you're going to stay? Yeah. And Thanksgiving of all times.
Yeah. All right.
So we get it. You, you know, you, every interview I've researched you on, you profess your love for America.
You're still here. Clearly you still love it.
Yeah. Okay.
So can you shut the f*** up and be American for one minute instead of constantly complaining and talking like a f***ing foreign all the time? I mean, I challenge you. You challenge me to be American? Yes.
And how would one do that? I want you to eat this hot dog right now. Oh, boy.
And then I want you to throw this football. And first of all, you have to call it a football.
Okay, I can't do that. I call it an American football.
Okay, American football. I'll call it an American football.
And you've got to throw this to me. So you've got to eat that first and you've got to throw this to me.
Okay, like this? No, no, you've got to throw a tight spiral. We're going to go over there.
