00:00The White House, still a beautiful building despite what's currently happening inside it.
00:04It's not the House's fault. Hashtag it's not the House's fault.
00:08On Sunday's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver weighed in on Steve Bannon's exit from the White House,
00:14expressing disappointment with how little he thinks the departure will affect President Donald Trump's administration.
00:20The host said, the truly depressing thing about Bannon's departure is just how utterly unsatisfying it actually is.
00:28Yes, one panderer to white nationalists has left the White House.
00:32The problem is, the one he was working for is still very much there.
00:36Oliver also mocked Fox News' Melissa Francis for crying on camera about how awful she feels when defending Trump
00:42as he talked about there being, quote, very fine people at the white supremacist rally.
00:48If you're going to get emotionally overwhelmed and feeling judged for defending Trump and his Nazi sympathizer phase,
00:54stop effing doing it, the host said, adding, how did you manage to make this about you?
01:00The host talked about how he wished more Republicans in Congress would come forward
01:04and denounce Trump's words and actions.
01:06He also said he doesn't agree that this might be a turning point for the president
01:10because at this point, he feels like America is just spinning on a carousel that won't stop.
01:15We vomited so much, there's nothing left to throw up, and there's just no way to get off
01:20because an unstable race-baiting carny is operating the controls.
01:24Make sure to head to THR.com for the full segment from last week tonight,
01:27including Oliver's take on the hard truth that nothing is really going to change in the White House
01:31until one person finally gets shown the effing door.
01:35I think you know who he's talking about.
01:38Let me know what you think of Oliver's Bannon exit take in the comments.
