Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: 911

May 18, 2016 9:09 PM - Season 3, Episode 12

This week....

• Donald Trump starts to mend fences with the Republican elite (5m), as we all knew he would; refuses to release his tax returns; invented a publicist for himself in the 80s that was actually just him.
• A recording of the Queen of England caught her saying a remark about a Chinese diplomat. (2m)
• Budweiser announces temporarily changing the name of their beer-like substance to "America." (2m)
• People Who Somehow Got Elected: Paul LePage, Governor of Maine. (4m)
• Main story: 911, and the difficulties it faces in the age of cell phones. (16m)

Donald Trump: "Rome burning in man form."
Queen Elizabeth II: "The only be-crowned woman who acts more entitled than a bride at her bachelorette party."
Budweiser: "America's favorite liquid yeast infection." and "What's left in the dishwasher after you accidentally wash beans."

"Now see this nice lady?"
"This lady who needs help?"
"She didn't get help. She died."
Oof. This show. Oh god that was a punch in the gut.
