The Catheter Cowboy returns as on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver as the British host takes a gloomy look at the Iran Deal and the potential threats it could pose if Donald Trump doesn't resign the deal.
Starting off the show, John Oliver takes a biographical look at the Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke. Instead of questioning his politics or scandals, as he normally does in these segments, Oliver really took the time to just showcase how strange Zinke is. Besides the fact that he claims he is a geologist when really he just majored in it in college, Zinke has done some strange things.
But, really the main focus for this week's episode was on the Iran Deal. Signed three years ago by seven countries, the Iran Deal helped reduce Iran's testing of nuclear weapons. The catch here is that on May 12, the deal needs to be renewed and signed by the countries involved and currently, Donald Trump does not want to sign.
20 minutes is such a short time to describe a deal so complex, but Oliver does an excellent job outlining the major points and the major players involved. He takes a look at Donald Trump's views on the deal, which he hates. Now, Trump wants the European countries involved to "fix" it by the deadline or he won't sign.
Opinions aside on the deal, it is ridiculous to want to get rid of the deal without a plan to replace it. Oliver uses the analogy of a cat in a crate on an airplane. "Where the fuck are you going to go once you get out?"
Unfortunately, John Oliver had little hope to give us on getting this deal signed. But, he does treat us to another commercial from the Catheter Cowboy airing in Washington D.C. during Sean Hannity's show on Fox.
If that's any consolation, I'll take it.
