    It's crazy that by listening to the Gaza part, you can't tell that this is 15 years ago
  • @LopezNeedsYou
    Im starting to wonder if the real reason these old episodes are being uploaded is to remind people how the Gaza crisis is very much not a new thing.

    Man, I wish groceries were the same price as when this was made.
  • @grabnar4015
    Thank you to all the crew at the show for making this. Though it was sadly funny that I started watching this thinking "I'll get to see some stuff from the show I haven't before 😊" and the the segment on Gaza started and I thought"Oh for fuck's sake" 😂
  • @ArmedDem
    I was so confused for a minute 😂 This episode (re)posted an hour ago and I thought we were in Iraq a 3rd (4th?) time before I saw Obama 😂
  • @siryak
    It is pretty crazy how this was filmed over 30 years ago, based on how old John looks today
  • @DrDri50
    10 years ago and yet nothing changed with Russia and Gaza 👌
  • @Maedansan
    john's hair looked 10 years younger and that's how I knew this is an old episode
  • @Apethantos
    I clicked thinking it's a new episode and my split-second initial reaction was "Does Oliver dye his hair?"
  • @Anderas73
    After all these years - Russia and the Middle East again... who would have thought? Everyone you say? Thanks for re-posting!
  • @cadyheron9951
    it’s really depressing watching these old episodes and realizing nothing has changed 🙃
  • @TheeRomantic
    I don't know why we are getting full episodes 🤔 ..but I'm not complaining ❤ thank you 🥰
  • @cameron398
    Funny I was one of thousands of US troops in Baghdad when OB gave this speech.
  • @terruwuism
    You should add when this was first aired in the description or title or something
