Oliver's description of Johnson includes that he has no consistency in his principles. Then you leftists compare Graham in the same fashion. Graham has been incredibly steadfast in his "principles", almost never changing his stance on any issue throughout his career, unlike the modern day American Left wing leaders. Are there any Conservatives that you would not slander as far Right?
@@markmention966 Lindsey's been consistent? You mean like when he said, "My party has gone nuts.. Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be Commander-in-Chief." And now is his lapdog. Or like when he said Trump "better leave Jeff Sessions where he is." And now, doesn't seem to be bothered by how Trump treated Sessions. Or like him saying how much he valued JohncCain, then sucking up to Trump after Trump has repeatedly besmirched McCain after death. Or like when he was demanding they impeach Bill Clinton to "cleanse the office, and restore dignity to the presidency," but now is all for the worst, most immoral president in the history of our country. But that's interesting that you think he's stuck to his principles. You should probably go to South Carolina and tell some of them. Seeing as how in March, outside of his office in Columbia, SC, protestors gathered, literally spelling "Release the Mueller Report" in flip-flops one the ground! The official hashtags were for "Graham to stop #Flip-flopping and #ReleasetheMuelerReport." Since at the time it was being delayed. They actually brought a ton of flip-flops to the protest! Maybe you can tell them how Lindsey has stuck to his values. Sorry to wreck your fantasy about Ol Lindsey.
This is kinda borrowed from another comment by Tech Geek: Boris is smart but wants people to think that he is dumb Trump is dumb but wants people to think that he is smart
People think Johnson is clever because he reels off quotes in Latin and Greek. I studied Latin too. I can also quote Kafka in the original German. That does not mean I am clever. I think I am average intelligence but with a good memory of my A level studies. Somehow, Brits have developed a phobia of learning languages and revere those who are multilingual as intellectual giants. It's absurd
Neil070 I get your point though I wasn’t referring to his knowledge of foreign languages, I was more referring to his strategy when dealing with the media (at least, prior to becoming PM)
The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris has a dumb/eccentric persona, but is smarter than people realise, and has a way with people. He has managed to avoid getting backstabbed, and while he is being laughed at he (1) became the first conservative lord mayor of London and then (2) became Prime Minister. Trump however, isn't pretending to be dumb, he actually is.
Well said and in London look which Mayor reduced all crime and made London the place to invest in after the Marxist Livingstone failed? And now we have the Socialist in Khan and isn't THAT working out well?
@jckgrim51 how about his constant racist flair ups that are increasing tension across the country, as in el Paso. How about his constant denial of policy to protect American voting systems from hackers. What about the fact he CONSTANTLY LIES. If these dont seem dumb then how about this: He constantly admits that his views are shaped by the television. He constantly states that all news media that doesnt praise him is wrong. He held back bills that were popular at the time to pass Bill's that werent (the wall) and shut down the entire government. He fed an NFL team hamburgers because of the shutdown instead of postponing or something. Need anything else?
@jckgrim51 just look up any of what he says and take ideas from multiple sources and then shape your opinion on the matter, you shouldnt instantly make an opinion on the topic after reading one site or hearing one broadcast. Good God America, you are the problems you have.

@@aranyanifox4375 It's a pity so many of my fellow bits cannot see the damage being done to our country with the racist, anti immigration, isolationist stance of our government.

As a 70yr old man it won't affect me for much of my lifetime but I silently cry when I think of my children's and grandchildren future.
You guys could have just caved and agreed to reduce immigration, but you didn't because you don't care about your countrymen or their opinions and now you have brexit. This mess is on you lot not farrage or boris.

I like Stephen Colbert as well. Just FYI, both Stephen Colbert and John Oliver were correspondents on The Daily Show when Jon Stewart was the host, before Trevor Noah. So they have worked together and have known each other for a few years.
That's because he is. Liverpool Football Club is the GREATEST!!!! football club in the world. This coming from the biggest Liverpool fan on this side of the Atlantic. YNWA.
Trump is an actual moron, whereas Boris is a witty, intelligent man with an excellent education, but utterly devoid of any moral considerations, whenever his own ambitions are threatened to be thwarted. He is a lying bastard. A pity, he'll lead Britain into Desaster, but at least the Britons will crash down into the chasm laughing. As one conservative voter put it succinctly: Hunt would be the more competent PM, but Boris is more fun. Enjoy!

@graham buckley you are mistaken, the 70% number is the TURNOUT (amount of brits voting compared to the population). The actual results were 51.9% leave and 48.1% remain. So very very close knit, and had the british population known more about the consequences of leaving together with the lies that Boris Johnson spouted both during and even 20 YEARS before the vote actually happened. It would have completely changed the results toward a more substantial remain amount. Read your sources correctly before you try to and convince people of shite that you have clearly no idea about in the first place.
@Thug Rose Americans should take off shoes, then it would fit the name "sock"er. British actually use the right name as they use their "foot" to kick a "ball"
And yet, while in America you could respect our culture and not correct us when we talk just because you call it something different. When I'm in England, I try to remember to refer to fries as chips, chips as crisps, and soccer as futball. Because I'm polite and I respect their culture. But I guess it's too much to ask of Brits to not have their asshole slam shut anytime someone says soccer while standing on American soil.
Diana May Sounds like our republican party in America. Most of them started out hating trump, fully realizing how awful he is, but once he got their party's nomination, and then won the election, due to the Electoral College and various other unknown factors, they almost all caved and began to back anything he wanted. How they can still claim to be the party of morals and family values is beyond me.
But we in Britain can vote him out just as fast, if he calls a General election which I think he will, we dont vote for a leader in the UK we vote for a political party.

The first time I ever saw or heard about Boris Johnson was on a rerun of Top Gear. I got the impression that the man could do nothing but talk straight out of his ass. And when you get that impression from an interview conducted by Jeremy Clarkson, it doesn't bode well.
I remember that episode when Jeremy Clarkson suggested to Buffoon Boris that perhaps he was hiding a shrewd political brain behind an outward persona of a blithering idiot. Johnson replied that perhaps he was a blithering idiot hiding behind a facade of a blithering idiot. First and only time I have ever agreed with that upper-class, in-bred moron.
@@aidanhegarty2688 Oh Sweetie never mind but let me help you ... 'In bred'? Oh fuck off ...He is not 'upper class' by any stretch. He only got to Eton by means of a Kings Scholarship and then to Oxford after winning another scholarship because of his exam results. he is incredibly intelligent, well read and has earned his rewards by hard graft. Life gave this man nothing. He earned his education and degree by being the best. Looks like you let your red Leftie Socialism slip into view a bit ...
1chish - Life gave him nothing? I think he had a bit of a head start compared to most of us but otherwise you’re quite correct. Many Labour politicians had a more privileged background than Boris, but they hide it.
@@1chish Intelligence never ever stands the remotest of chances when bound up in the same mind with unbridled ambition and unfettered arrogance. Here is the crux of the problem. Johnson is so utterly devoid of anything remotely resembling a moral centre that reasonable people can never be sure as to what extend his academic awards were the result of cheating.
@@hooked4lifeca We are all entitled to our opinions and you have just aired yours. But sadly of course you don't just air an opinion you paddle a lie by inference when you write: "reasonable people can never be sure as to what extend his academic awards were the result of cheating" No facts to support it just a cowardly inference. Suffice to say I think you are wrong and a liar Oh by the way when did you stop beating up your wife?
when Liverpool pulled the rug out from under Barca in the semi-final my first thought was, "I wonder if John Oliver still has a mind because this game probably broke it."
It's pretty hard to tell when someone is telling a joke when they're not being funny. Seems like the producer held up the 'clap' sign more often than the 'laugh' sign, something that will be corrected when Oliver is back on his own show.
Johns passion for his team reminds me of San Diego citizens of their passion of the NFL team Chargers 😆. I was never an NFL fan when I moved there, but within 2 years I was a die hard fan, knowing everything about the coach and top players lol. It was fun.
Born in Birmingham, in Erdington, which voted 60%+ to leave the EU. Erdington would probably vote to leave the municipal control of Birmingham like the neighbourhood next to it called Sutton Coldfield which had a referendum to leave Birmingham and recreate the local council in 2015. Perhaps John Oliver would reverse that too.
@@aleph8888 Am guessing you aren't from Birmingham. Erdington and Sutton Coldfield - 2 different universes! SC is a posh dormitory town, not usually seen as part of the city. Erdington is the heart of North Brum. I guess they both voted to leave, but for different reasons! As for Brexit - yup, the majority of UK voters would reverse that too, now they know that it's almost certainly going to be no deal. Will they be given the chance? No
pintpot Politicians can’t choose what votes to ignore. And having another referendum at a time when EU economic leverage to scare the population is at its maximum would never be seen as legitimate.
Trump and Johnson are not the same. Trump was born into a privileged existence in Queens, while Johnson was born into a privileged existence in Manhattan.
"I like people comparing Johnson and Trump, because it's an insult to both of them".😄

"Oh don't you even MENTION that name in front of me. That filthy piece of toerag"
Here in Britain we have two contenders to be prime minister, but the public have no vote. Its like having Mitch McConnel versus Linsey Graham and only having Republican party members voting.
Wow, that is depressing.
As a life long anglophile, my heart truly breaks as I watch this Brexit madness unfold... I cannot begin to imagine how normal, rational British people must feel seeing Boris the Clown as their next PM. Horrifying. But this too shall pass, and then UK will recover - you have been through worse than this, it just needs both action and patience.
@@aranyanifox4375 It's a pity so many of my fellow bits cannot see the damage being done to our country with the racist, anti immigration, isolationist stance of our government. We have had relative peace in Europe since the EU was formed and it is folly to exit now. As in the US they are pandering to the baser instincts of some of the population. As a 70yr old man it won't affect me for much of my lifetime but I silently cry when I think of my children's and grandchildren future.
You guys could have just caved and agreed to reduce immigration, but you didn't because you don't care about your countrymen or their opinions and now you have brexit.
This mess is on you lot not farrage or boris.
aah, right, and the reason is the lack of democracy in the EU
you'd think that the irony would get through to the xenophobes, but then, they do have thick skulls
Every time John come on the show, Stephen Colbert seems he genuinely enjoy the interview. It's like watching two best friends just having a chat
I love it when you both appear together. It’s like an educated, Super Comedic Team Party 🥳
I love John and Steven!
Timothy Clark John looks fabulous with salt and pepper hair!
The crossover we deserve
Timothy Clark So do I, shame about the lazy comparisons they make...
Timothy Clark You can tell that they are actually friends. They have that connection that you only have with a long time friend
Okay, its official. I am from South Africa but Colbert is my fav. He invites everyone, feom Noah to John Oliver. He is not insecure. Great guy.
I like Stephen Colbert as well. Just FYI, both Stephen Colbert and John Oliver were correspondents on The Daily Show when Jon Stewart was the host, before Trevor Noah. So they have worked together and have known each other for a few years.
Crazy Liverpool fan here. Same as you John Oliver. I really luv this team from Nairobi, Kenya
The team isn't from Nairobi, Kenya at all!
As a Spurs fan, I hit like on this very grudgingly.
2-0 spurs sucks ahahahaha did you enjoy the first minute penalty. allez allez allez allez allez allez
lets talk about 6 baby lets talk about you and me lets talk about all the good things we could be
in american a fan of spurs is a loud cowboy
Guess you don't mean a fan of Captain Bone Spurs.
What do the Spurs have anything to do with this?
I'm glad these guys are cool with each other
Why wouldn’t they be?
?...
I believe they were both writers for John Stewart, also Samantha Bee.
That Photo Of John Oliver With The Champions League Cup He Looks Elated
Looks like soy man desecrating the spoils of chads
Football is stupid and John Oliver can’t get arrested in England, but, that picture is sweet
That's because he is. Liverpool Football Club is the GREATEST!!!! football club in the world. This coming from the biggest Liverpool fan on this side of the Atlantic. YNWA.
Bermsy Fructa what ever turns you on.
@@naynay1139 Crazy! I was just thinking the same thing about you.
You can tell that John's much happier hugging the European Cup than he was about being in The Lion King.
Trump is an actual moron, whereas Boris is a witty, intelligent man with an excellent education, but utterly devoid of any moral considerations, whenever his own ambitions are threatened to be thwarted. He is a lying bastard. A pity, he'll lead Britain into Desaster, but at least the Britons will crash down into the chasm laughing. As one conservative voter put it succinctly: Hunt would be the more competent PM, but Boris is more fun. Enjoy!
Love liverpool. Love John Oliver. Great to hear so many Americans cheering when he mentioned liverpool.
It's a town they've heard of.
@@chezmoi42 true - they probably only know of liverpool because that famous rock band The Lightening Seeds 😄😄
Watching these guys chat is all I need today....
My new favorite term for these people is “moral windsock.”
Someone's very astute assessment of Boris Johnson:- "If you don't like my principles, I have others"
Spot on!
2:23 - “I need English political advice” - John Oliver *we don’t have any...”
Boris Johnson is what I call Trump Light
Emre Veliu - I can imagine Melania would prefer a lighter Trump as well.
First time he's been called light
Unlike the orange land walrus Boris is a very well educated and from an upper middle class family , Born in NY , he is eligible for election to president of USA
@@BigBadLoneWolf
Boris is not eligible to be President of the USA. He potentially could be in the future but he needs to live in the US for 7 years(i think the Constitution requires 7 years, may be a little more)
He called muslim women letter boxes and joined in with trumps birther crap. They are racist brothers from another mother.
Happiest she’s ever seen him in a picture? Has she ever seen those pictures of him on a DeWalt ladder? Pure bliss.
3:26 Stephen:“What‘s his deal?“
Me:“Well no deal at all“
Three cheers for Lord Buckethead; he’ll need to bring a guitar!
@Don Johnson I'd vote for half an onion over Trump.
@South Jersey Bear a person who support someone who cannot even spell hamburger or coverage properly has no business calling other moron
Unless you would confess yourself to be worse than an absolute moron of course
Haha what ever happened to Lord Buckethead? How's he been doing?
@graham buckley where did you get the numbers from brexit, because i'm fairly sure it was a 51% - 49% divide, NOT 70%
@graham buckley you are mistaken, the 70% number is the TURNOUT (amount of brits voting compared to the population). The actual results were 51.9% leave and 48.1% remain. So very very close knit, and had the british population known more about the consequences of leaving together with the lies that Boris Johnson spouted both during and even 20 YEARS before the vote actually happened. It would have completely changed the results toward a more substantial remain amount.
Read your sources correctly before you try to and convince people of shite that you have clearly no idea about in the first place.
I love when these two are in the same video :)))
@Aarik - - - Soooo Worth the wait!!!
It's like when British comedy meets American comedy, and there's respect for each other's style...
Aarik Ibanez it’s like a great crossover
Legend makes sure the term is used right - football
@Thug Rose Americans should take off shoes, then it would fit the name "sock"er. British actually use the right name as they use their "foot" to kick a "ball"
And yet, while in America you could respect our culture and not correct us when we talk just because you call it something different. When I'm in England, I try to remember to refer to fries as chips, chips as crisps, and soccer as futball. Because I'm polite and I respect their culture. But I guess it's too much to ask of Brits to not have their asshole slam shut anytime someone says soccer while standing on American soil.
Thank god. “Soccer” makes me cringe everytime
Yobogoya you have no idea how big football is
Idc about chips and crisps but we will never let people call it soccer
“....and what about Boris Johnson? What’s he like?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Balls before brains fits nicely.
Moral windsock...I agree
Diana May Sounds like our republican party in America. Most of them started out hating trump, fully realizing how awful he is, but once he got their party's nomination, and then won the election, due to the Electoral College and various other unknown factors, they almost all caved and began to back anything he wanted. How they can still claim to be the party of morals and family values is beyond me.
john and stephen are such a good duo.... they make each other laugh and break and it makes me laugh...... wholesome very good
I love youuu, British Milhouse
I could hear John Oliver talking about football and Liverpool all night
It's soccer because you play it with your socks, not your feet. Lol
I'm so sorry what night was this?
Me too he's sooo epic and smart ha ha ha ha
Boris Johnson looks like a 2 year old that woke up from a nap.
He has a genetic condition that gives him that sort of hair.
Grumpy Toddler Syndrome?
Don’t mock people with disabilities
And behaves like one too ....
Bet he can spell his name though Kimberly.
Omg... never knew John Oliver was an LFC fan. Now i just love him more XD
but John was born in Birmingham.
Juholainen no he just shouldn’t be unless he has some family or friend connection to the club
@@Forestgravy90 uhhh... what? I wasn't born in UK. Does that mean I can't be an LFC fan?

"Moral Windsock". The perfect description for most politicians.
I look at this brilliant & mature Englishman, google his age and realize we were born the same year. Sh*t we're getting old.
Donald Trump looks like a failed clone of Donald Trump.
Donald Trump looks like he grew from a cheeto after it's been irradiated.

It's like that film "Multiplicity". Where the clone makes a clone if himself, but he comes out kind of soft in the head.
@@dipperdandy I read the OP and was about to say the same thing. "hi Steve"
Haven't seen John Oliver that happy for a while.
Boris The Spider(the Who song) should be played everywhere in England. I think he's a love child of Trump from the early 80's.
Nailed it baby
I nowaday's times.... your claim isn't *that* stupid !! 😂😂😂
He was born in New York.
"...like a moral windsock..."
~ John Oliver
Love John Oliver and Mr Colbert 🍄🇺🇲🍄🇬🇧🍄
Totally agree. Boris Johnson is appalling. Britain should know better, especially seeing what's going on in the US!!!!
But we in Britain can vote him out just as fast, if he calls a General election which I think he will, we dont vote for a leader in the UK we vote for a political party.
Alison Smith The awful thing is that right now, Labour aren’t much better, if at all. So what’s the alternative? Gah, politics is depressing as hell right now.
@@Cailus3542 Totally right, it's depressing, and God help us if swivel eyed Farage ever enters Parliament, we might as well all just give up with his evil sidekick Widdecombe and his band of merry little Englanders.
Alison Smith If Farage or his ilk ever enter government, the country is well and truly doomed. Short of an intervention by Prince Charles when he becomes King, we might as well say farewell to what was once a great nation.
@@Cailus3542 The thought of it is like some kind of nightmare, a bunch of gammons in charge is truly frightening with their casual racist behaviour and bigotry a throw back to what they hanker for , 1950s Britain.
Here, in Belgium, we consider Johnson and Trump as "Dumb & Dumber".
Are Belgium waffles really from Belgium? Or is it just a term for giant waffles?? I really need to know this answer, it may decide my future for years to come...yes my next life decisions will be based upon waffles..
Henquinet Timothy very much like Juncker and his crooked cronies. Belgium is very good at that.

John Oliver talking about Liverpool to Stephen Colbert? Oh this is heaven!
Boris Johnson is a kind of moral windsock... beautiful.
Stephen: (Asks about Borris Johnson, the British Donald Trump)
John: Entitlement from an early age, white-hot ambition, no real principles of any kind...
Stephen: And what about Borris Johnson?
the audience is going wild
It was beautifully done, wasn't it?
Only an idiot wouldn't know how smart that was from Stephen
When he talked about Liverpool sports, I was reminded of growing up as a Cleveland fan on the east coast…
WE WON IT SIX TIMES! YNWA! #LFC
How many premier league titles
I said premier league titles not division 1 titles
The first time I ever saw or heard about Boris Johnson was on a rerun of Top Gear. I got the impression that the man could do nothing but talk straight out of his ass. And when you get that impression from an interview conducted by Jeremy Clarkson, it doesn't bode well.
I remember that episode when Jeremy Clarkson suggested to Buffoon Boris that perhaps he was hiding a shrewd political brain behind an outward persona of a blithering idiot. Johnson replied that perhaps he was a blithering idiot hiding behind a facade of a blithering idiot. First and only time I have ever agreed with that upper-class, in-bred moron.
@@aidanhegarty2688 Oh Sweetie never mind but let me help you ... 'In bred'? Oh fuck off ...He is not 'upper class' by any stretch. He only got to Eton by means of a Kings Scholarship and then to Oxford after winning another scholarship because of his exam results. he is incredibly intelligent, well read and has earned his rewards by hard graft. Life gave this man nothing. He earned his education and degree by being the best.
Looks like you let your red Leftie Socialism slip into view a bit ...
1chish - Life gave him nothing? I think he had a bit of a head start compared to most of us but otherwise you’re quite correct. Many Labour politicians had a more privileged background than Boris, but they hide it.
@@1chish Intelligence never ever stands the remotest of chances when bound up in the same mind with unbridled ambition and unfettered arrogance. Here is the crux of the problem. Johnson is so utterly devoid of anything remotely resembling a moral centre that reasonable people can never be sure as to what extend his academic awards were the result of cheating.
@@hooked4lifeca We are all entitled to our opinions and you have just aired yours. But sadly of course you don't just air an opinion you paddle a lie by inference when you write:
"reasonable people can never be sure as to what extend his academic awards were the result of cheating"
No facts to support it just a cowardly inference. Suffice to say I think you are wrong and a liar
Oh by the way when did you stop beating up your wife?
I think the algorithm that is running our world simulation is having issues things are starting to look funny and buggy haha
"If you want to use that word", hahaha!! Go Reds!
like for the proper use of the word football!
@Eric Burkheimer Well, "grab-ball" didn't sound too good, if ya know what I mean...
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 The proper name for American football is "handegg".
Football was just a term for sports played off horses, and on feet.
Hence - FOOTball.
@Eric Burkheimer The main difference is that Rugby flows, whilst gridiron is so slow and boring.
@@Axolotl_Mischief What does that make handball?
isn't Boris Johnson the dude that biked away when a reporter tried to ask him a question??
Yep. That's him.
I needed the toilet
when Liverpool pulled the rug out from under Barca in the semi-final my first thought was, "I wonder if John Oliver still has a mind because this game probably broke it."
love stephen but he keeps interrupting oliver’s jokes ;(
Stephen always tries to one-up when there's a comedian in the chair. He is threatened every time.
It's pretty hard to tell when someone is telling a joke when they're not being funny. Seems like the producer held up the 'clap' sign more often than the 'laugh' sign, something that will be corrected when Oliver is back on his own show.
Johns passion for his team reminds me of San Diego citizens of their passion of the NFL team Chargers 😆.
I was never an NFL fan when I moved there, but within 2 years I was a die hard fan, knowing everything about the coach and top players lol. It was fun.
yes grandfathered into choosing a team, you can never fail your father ... GGMU
Oliver being a Scouser made me love him even more! You never walk alone, mate!
Ummm...he's a Brummie. Actually, he's from Erdington, which is like Triple Brummie
pintpot
And a prick
Born in Birmingham, in Erdington, which voted 60%+ to leave the EU. Erdington would probably vote to leave the municipal control of Birmingham like the neighbourhood next to it called Sutton Coldfield which had a referendum to leave Birmingham and recreate the local council in 2015. Perhaps John Oliver would reverse that too.
@@aleph8888 Am guessing you aren't from Birmingham. Erdington and Sutton Coldfield - 2 different universes! SC is a posh dormitory town, not usually seen as part of the city. Erdington is the heart of North Brum. I guess they both voted to leave, but for different reasons!
As for Brexit - yup, the majority of UK voters would reverse that too, now they know that it's almost certainly going to be no deal. Will they be given the chance? No
pintpot Politicians can’t choose what votes to ignore. And having another referendum at a time when EU economic leverage to scare the population is at its maximum would never be seen as legitimate.
Great interview :) So spot on!
boris johnson looks like a clone of trump if they filled in the gaps with gary busey's DNA

John Oliver is The King of late night tv. No other comes near.
That's not really saying much.

First sensible thing he’s said. Liverpool 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
creepy maniacal laughter at 'or I'll anger father', then deadly serious face of ashen composure
Or he could have really annoyed his father and supported Everton.
Imagine his kids becoming MUFC fans.
You need to delete this comment before John Oliver sees it, because it will definitely give him nightmares.
@@gpearce11 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's the worst dream of ever Liverpool parent

They‘d be sent to bed without lunch - every night!
My ex was a United man. He was also an abusive alcoholic. I treasure Liverpool in his memory...
Trump and Johnson are not the same. Trump was born into a privileged existence in Queens, while Johnson was born into a privileged existence in Manhattan.
