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.
