  • The British general election.

  • Last week, British voters went to the polls

  • for the third time in five years

  • to cast their vote on who should rule the nation.

  • And it turns out there's someone even more popular

  • than the hot priest from Fleabag.

  • NEWSMAN: Boris Johnson,

  • the outspoken British prime minister,

  • this morning enjoying a stunning reelection victory,

  • delivering the largest Conservative Party landslide

  • since Margaret Thatcher in 1987.

  • It was the Brexit election,

  • a bitter, angry campaign.

  • Johnson winning over working-class voters

  • in former industrial heartlands...

  • promising to break Britain's Brexit deadlock.

  • Damn. Look at you, Boris, huh?

  • Just driving through the wall like a British Kool-Aid man.

  • -(laughter) -Yeah? Just like,

  • "Oh, yeah! Apologies about the wall, but would you care

  • for a spot of juice from inside my belly? Waah!"

  • But yes, after running on a pro-Brexit platform,

  • Boris Johnson has been easily reelected as prime minister.

  • And just by the way, I can never get over

  • how the prime minister's house is just, like, on the street.

  • Right? The queen lives in a palace,

  • where they perform The Nutcracker

  • -every 30 minutes. -(laughter)

  • But the person who actually runs the country

  • looks like he found out he just got the job at the last minute

  • and had to grab an Airbnb. That's what that looks like.

  • So now that Boris has an overwhelming majority

  • in Parliament, it's widely expected that Brexit

  • will finally move forward.

  • In the meantime, though, people are saying

  • that this election in the UK could have big implications

  • right here in the United States.

  • You have to go back to Thatcher in the 1980s

  • for such a political earthquake--

  • transforming Britain, shaking Europe, and perhaps,

  • perhaps providing lessons for the German election in 2020.

  • Two of President Trump's more moderate potential challengers

  • appeared concerned.

  • Joe Biden said:

  • And President Trump noted Johnson's win

  • with its populist appeal could mean good things for him

  • in 2020.

  • I want to congratulate Boris Johnson

  • on a terrific victory.

  • I think that might be a harbinger of what's to come

  • in our country.

  • Ooh. Did Trump just say "harbinger"?

  • (laughter)

  • Somebody got a "Word of the Day" calendar.

  • What a crazy day.

  • First Kumail gets a six-pack,

  • and now Donald Trump's using big words?

  • It's the ultimate Monday Motivation. I love it.

  • So the big question now is:

  • should the major defeat for Liberals in the U.K.

  • be a warning sign for Democrats in America's election?

  • Well, here to debate this issue, we're joined now

  • by our expert panel of experts, Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic,

  • Jaboukie Young-White and Michael Kosta, everybody!

  • (cheering, applause)

  • Let's start with you, Ronny.

  • What does Britain's election mean for America in 2020?

  • What does it mean?

  • I'll tell you what it means, Trevor. Nothing!

  • This is Britain's election, not America's election, okay?

  • Why does America make everything about America?

  • The two things have nothing to do with each other.

  • I mean, like, my neighbors get a divorce.

  • Does that mean I'm gonna get a divorce?

  • No. It just means he found out I was banging his wife, okay?

  • So stop reading too much into it.

  • It's an interesting point, Ronny.

  • But, Desi, as an American, would you agree

  • with Ronny's assessment?

  • Trevor, my dumb-ass friend Ronny is too much of a dumb-ass

  • to get it.

  • Historically, when Britain does something,

  • America follows.

  • Think about it. They made The Office,

  • then we made The Office.

  • They spoke American, now we speak American.

  • They deported Piers Morgan, then we deported Piers Morgan.

  • So... I'm just saying, don't be surprised

  • if America follows Britain's lead in 2020.

  • Well, thank you, Desi.

  • Jaboukie, as our social media expert,

  • how do you read this?

  • Because if you look at Twitter,

  • it seemed like Boris Johnson was gonna lose.

  • -So are you surprised? -(sighs): No, Trevor,

  • I'm not surprised.

  • Everything on social media is a lie.

  • You know, there are people who will retweet you, DM you,

  • ask to meet you at a bar, and then you're like,

  • "Yeah, I mean, your profile pic is a ten,"

  • and than you meet them in real life at a well-lit gastropub,

  • and it turns out he's disgusting!

  • -(laughter) -Like an eight.

  • Maybe even a seven. (huffs)

  • And this is all hypothetical, of course.

  • This is hypothetically speaking.

  • Okay, Jaboukie, but wh-what does this date

  • have to do with the election?

  • I'm sorry, did you hear what I said?

  • (chuckles) A seven out of ten, Trevor.

  • Trevor, Trevor, Trevor, Trevor.

  • May I Kosta-splain something to all of you?

  • Okay? That's when Michael Kosta perfectly explains something.

  • -NOAH: Go ahead, Michael. -Look, Trevor,

  • I respect everyone on this panel,

  • but I'm the only one here

  • who earned a poli sci degree online in 35 minutes, okay?

  • So, this election was all about Brexit.

  • The key to winning any election is Brexit.

  • If you want to be president of the United States,

  • you got to promise to get America

  • out of the European Union.

  • We got to get out of Europe, Trevor.

  • But-but, Kosta, America's not in Europe.

  • Sounds like someone's running for president.

  • This was an absolute waste of time.

  • Jaboukie, Kosta, Desi and Ronny, everybody.

The British general election.
