Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) - TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)



John Oliver discusses TANF – a federal program designed to help families with little to no income – who’s currently receiving these vital funds, who should be receiving them, and what it all has to do with Brett Favre.




And here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes John's comments on recent events including the blatant hypocrisy of Fox "News" hosts revealed by the Dominion voting lawsuit; Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally's recent "likes" and positive comments on social media photos of gay men despite supporting bills that restrict the rights of LGBTQ people; Happy International Women's Day from the men of local news; Rachael Ray's "humble beginnings" as a Howard Johnson's "fountain girl." It won't last long, as usual:
