The Charlie Rose compilation has aged pretty well considering he lost his job during the Me Too movement a few years later 😅

"Few years later" It was literally the following year.
"And let us take a moment to feel superior" Moment's passed, y'all. We're now as broken as Brazil
Isn't it crazy how 63 was too old?
“If it _is_ racist, it’s only toward Belgians.” 😂😂😂😂😂
I trust “state run” anything more than I trust any private company XD
As long as John taps his desk in excitement at the beginning, it is the best. it is all i need.

You gotta love that moment of hope that somehow the Republican officials were going to strangle this all in the cradle, voters be damned
Thanks for re-airing these shows. Joy and rupture.
And those "principles" about not confirming a nominee to the SCOTUS within the final months before the election went right out the window the moment RBG passed away. Suddenly Trump was duty bound to nominate a replacement and the Senate was obligated to confirm, and it didn't matter that mail voting had already begun

I was listening to this in the background and got to minute 9:59 before realizing it was NOT a new episode
DeWalt makes ladders?! Imma have to get me one of those.
So... the actual cost? 15 billion was spent on new fencing 47 miles of new fencing was built where there was none before. Which translates to 319 million per mile, where the budget suggested 20 mil per mile...
I'm getting a pet walrus, and Mexico is paying for it.
I loved seeing these when they originally came out, love to see the full episode available for free to everyone now!

While rewatching these is often depressing, at least I get the occasional reminder that Scalia has been dead for almost a decade. Rest in piss 🎉

Well, this episode didn't aged well... Specially the Brasil part.
1:47 and now he’s president of Brazil
The wall was a bust. It's already falling apart.
He doesn’t even include labor costs in the estimates for the wall

I’m sorry trump holding the kid up to the microphone is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all week He should’ve just been an entertainer all his life it would’ve been better for everyone
Great show
Building the wall is like peeing yourself in dark pants. It gives you a warm feeling, but nobody notices!😅

Not just that, it also stops you attracting a partner for life, because nobody is gonna look at someone wearing a condom on their head and think “I wanna spend the rest of my life with them”, they’ll think “I’m never coming to this CostCo again, it’s full of lunatics!”
And now we came around again to that guy being president because that's the kind of country Brazil is.
That guy is a creep
The way these clips are ordered gives me a slight headache (likely from having uploaded them separately and then published all at once). They should be published one after the other, even if it's just a few seconds between making each video public

The playlist has them listed backwards from the last episode to the first. Makes the continuity of each episode annoying.
