    Wow yeah I always wondered why the Democratic Party was so against the filibuster after all these years. Lol. I’m sure when they need to use the filibuster they would shift their argument

  3. InfoJunkie on April 27, 2021 at 12:42 am

    Just one more example of many that proves why Joe Biden is such a self-serving POS

  4. Liberty Springs on April 27, 2021 at 12:45 am

    Anyone starting college at this point should know not to use student loans

    All she has to do is renounce her citizenship then leave the country and sneak back in as an illegal alien and the government will give her a bunch of free money.

    and i actually subscribe to the channel of the guy feeding racoons hot dogs…LOL…great channel by the way, especially if you are an animal lover ❤

  7. Erez Shpirer on April 27, 2021 at 12:46 am

    Will he ever be out of void?

  8. Erica Townsend on April 27, 2021 at 12:46 am

    im triggered. 2008 grad with 120k student loans…..and here we are again 2020/21.. swear i don’t see a future a this rate.

  9. Chris Bovell on April 27, 2021 at 12:47 am

    Over 200,000 for my doctorate and I don’t even have undergrad debt. Yeah… student loan debt is out of control

  10. eric stevens on April 27, 2021 at 12:50 am

    maybe don’t go in to 80K of college debt. ridiculous to be pissed off you can’t waive a wand and erase debt. it shifts to someone else, it doesn’t disappear. I don’t want to pay for your obligations.

  11. Jackie V on April 27, 2021 at 12:51 am

    My grandma filed 2-3 times. She is a shopaholic and her prescriptions are expensive.

  12. Luke Serna on April 27, 2021 at 12:52 am

    The raccoon feeding hot dogs guy is AWESOME!!!

    Oh yeah, also, Warren is a SNAKE 🐍 and is only interested in masking symptoms of CAPITALISM, rather than realizing revolutionary systemic solutions, which will never occur with bourgeois pols.

  13. Charmadin on April 27, 2021 at 12:53 am

    You don’t live in a world where medical aid is out of control, you simply live in the US.

  14. Kevin S. on April 27, 2021 at 12:53 am

    United States, the ‘Best Country in the World, The Country of Freedom’ never ceases to amaze me. It does everything it can to screw their citizens left and right.

  15. H2 Lo on April 27, 2021 at 12:55 am

    So Americans needs the Republicans to help them do the right thing again… good luck in that. Republicans are only interested in helping the rich and powerful.

  16. JLH0133 on April 27, 2021 at 12:57 am

    I don’t know much about college tuition; I come from a country with free education. However, now that you have the system that you have with student loans and so on, wouldn’t you prefer a system where people can’t erase their debt by declaring bankruptcy right after graduating, right?

    Or did I misunderstand something?

  17. Favour Eddie on April 27, 2021 at 12:59 am

    Suppléments à base de plantes ont existé pendant des milliers d’années et peuvent être tracés sur plusieurs cultures différentes. Pour l’instant. Les herbes sont maintenant utilisées pour guérir les diabétiques, l’herpès, la douleur chronique, l’asthme, kyste ovarien et même le VIH. J’aime tellement les herbes. La plupart du temps, l’injection et le médicament ne sont qu’une perte de durée. J’ai été guéri du VIH l’année dernière avec l’utilisation d’herbes, j’ai souffert du VIH pendant 13 ans, mais avec l’aide du DR Freeman Osas Herbal Medicine, j’ai été guéri en quelques semaines d’utiliser les herbes qu’il m’a envoyées par la livraison de services postaux. Je ne sais pas quel genre de problème de santé vous êtes confronté en ce moment, mais je vous ai assuré que vous serez guéri si vous contactez le Dr Freeman Osas et lui expliquer votre problème, que les problèmes se résoudront dans quelques semaines , contactez le Dr Freeman Osas par son adresse e-mail: drosasherbalhome@gmail.com ou le joindre via WHATSAP +1 409 401 4679

    Well for the haters out there, until your news outlets start criticizing your own, you got nothing to say. Biden wasn’t the best choice, but he was better than that weasel trump…

  20. Jonnathan Romero Huertas on April 27, 2021 at 1:02 am

    It is painful to understand how rigged is the game

  21. Isaac Campos on April 27, 2021 at 1:03 am

    Don’t matter if you go bankrupt, the govt will save you! … If you’re a corporation.

  22. Evildeadhead on April 27, 2021 at 1:03 am

    So you’re saying Trump filing for bankruptcy isn’t his fault?

  23. hpqphpqp on April 27, 2021 at 1:05 am

    USA! USA! NUMBER ONE!

    at finding every possible way to screw over anyone who is not rich (or white, etc.)

  24. Samoht Sirood on April 27, 2021 at 1:06 am

    "If you want to know the truth before you run up your credit cards and decide to stop paying make sure that you switch your address switch your phone number on file to both out of state that you live in… Also get rid of your mailbox and address markings on your house see when you don’t know comes up to you and says your name asking if it’s you don’t say yes. Walk away close the door tell him you don’t live here get off your property… Most importantly do not answer the door if it’s a cop!!! If they have enough for the warrant they can come back and kick the door in if not then they have no reason and no ability to come on into your house legally unless you open the door DO NOT open the door! Either way you must start waiting 10 years… Immediately try to rebuild your credit and let those accounts fall off don’t answer the phone to collectors or anything else and also don’t have a voicemail setup that we know we can leave messages on your phone… They can only send text and you can block the number or act like you didn’t receive it"….. All of that is some Robin Hood good for the common people illegal credit advice I got from some onetime… Just figured I would share that here.

  25. sshaxy on April 27, 2021 at 1:07 am

    John, thank you for this informative video. I feel for the poor personal bankruptcy filers.

    Now, can you do another video about the rich white large corporation bankruptcy filers that file one like chapter 11? I just don’t want people to get the idea that bankruptcy is only for poor people. People like trump who’s large businesses file bankruptcy shouldn’t get any sympathy!

  26. Samoht Sirood on April 27, 2021 at 1:08 am

    Just don’t ever go to school cuz you can’t get rid of student debt start companies in Delaware the first state where you have immunity from disclosing who owns the company and run the company’s build them up build credit then eventually run them into the ground and bankrupt them will not affect your personal credit and free money, Merica!!!

  27. Benjamin Gal-Or on April 27, 2021 at 1:11 am

    Is fooling all by just do same to end pandemic at the door with criminal deaths?
    NOT CLIMATE, LOCAL CLIMATES prevent most Covid Deaths, Science proves.

    Virus Control Ability, VCA, or Covid Deaths Ratio, IS A WHO SCIENCE INDEX,

    This VCA-WHO-INDEX PROOF is not for fooling themselves in public, the unable
    to write more than one line, not read a few, nor for Self Appointed ‘Reporters of

    I’m still sad that Elizabeth Warren isn’t president……

    This video was very interesting! If it wasn’t with the help of Mrs. Emilia Green who knows how I would have understood trading crypto. she helped manage my assets by putting me on the right platform

    17:45 damn Biden used to able to talk so much more coherently

  34. sad199 6 on April 27, 2021 at 1:20 am

    Glad to see criticism of liberals as well. Prolly one of the only mainstream news show that has truly leftist slant. Not perfect but it’s great that ppl who are “liberals” realize their party isn’t really on their side either and there’s a whole other left side they don’t even know about

  35. Onimusashi85 on April 27, 2021 at 1:20 am

    A fellow 2008 graduate. What a terrible time to finish college! I couldn’t find a job for the longest time!

  36. sshaxy on April 27, 2021 at 1:20 am

    Personal bankruptcy sure… but those big businesses that pull bankruptcy like Trump and other large business can go fuck off. Always screwing small businesses and people by not being able to pay them off. And the people who are in charge of those large Corp are not personally liable whatsoever. “It ain’t their money that’s gone”

  37. David Campos on April 27, 2021 at 1:23 am

    How soft you became in just a few months. Suddenly there is no pandemic, no migration crises, no political issues. How biased you are was always pretty obvious for anyone to see, but you keep surprising us 😄

  38. Ty Somers on April 27, 2021 at 1:24 am

    Wait am I supposed to feel bad for the girl that went 80k in debt by choosing to go to an expensive school. What

  39. Supersparkle Superstars on April 27, 2021 at 1:24 am

    My sister in law owes 200k in student loan debt😨😳☠

  40. Zani Zone on April 27, 2021 at 1:24 am

    It’s kind of a pattern in the US isn’t it? Completely amoral business actors manipulating the public with calls to morality.
    Powerful industry players change the rules of the game through back room political influence, then frame failing them as a moral failure. People fail them in droves, so a moral panic can be stirred up. This allows the introduction or even more changes, "protecting" said big industry players from supposedly irresponsible and morally reprehensible individuals (key word) bad behavior. No systemic problem is ever acknowledged.

    This is the good thing about John Oliver. Whoever is the president, he can stand in front that person and criticize

  47. Craig Mingus on April 27, 2021 at 1:34 am

    You never realize how much #JohnOliver cusses until you watch an episode with your 90 y/o #grandmother. It’s literally cringe-worthy when you realize how many times he says "fuck" during his show. Could John Oliver actually get through an episode w/o cussing? I challenge him.

  48. Melle Kroesbergen on April 27, 2021 at 1:35 am

    Hey can you send me a link to that video of the man with the raccoons ? Thanks
