>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'RE HERE WITH OUR DEAR FRIEND JOHN OLIVER.
BIG SOCCER SUMMER.
>> YEAH, FOR SURE, IF YOU WANT TO USE THAT WORD, YEAH.
>> Stephen: IT WAS AN EXCELLENT SEASON FOR FOOT BALL.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND FOR THE U.S.
TEAM.
>> MAGNIFICENT.
>> Stephen: BUT JUST AS IMPORTANT TO YOU OR PERHAPS EVEN
MORE SO.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOUR TEAM, LIVERPOOL --
>> YES, WE WON THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, WE'RE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE.
IT WAS AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
THEY ARE A WONDERFUL TEAM, LIVERPOOL, WITH A VERY
CHARISMATIC MANAGER.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S YOUR CONNECTION TO LIVERPOOL.
>> MY WHOLE FAMILY IS FROM LIVERPOOL.
NOT ME.
YOU GET GRANDFATHERED IN.
THE ONE THING I COULD DO WITH MY WHOLE LIFE IS SUPPORTING
LIVERPOOL.
I'M PASSING IT TO MY CHILDREN NOW.
>> Stephen: TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
>> BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING A PRE-SEASON TOUR OF AMERICA AND
SO THEY BROUGHT THE EUROPEAN CUP TO MY OFFICE AND THAT IS ABOUT
AS HAPPY AS I EVER GET.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IT WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGIC.
I TEXTED -- I TEXTED THAT PHOTO TO MY WIFE AND SHE RESPONDED
THAT'S THE HAPPIEST I'VE EVER SEEN YOU IN A PHOTO, AND I'M
AFRAID SHE'S RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WEDDING PICTURES
DON'T MATCH?
>> THIS IS MORE EXCITING.
ALSO I'M PRETTY SURE I COULD LIFT A SPORTING TROPHY BUT I
THINK ALL SPORTS WOULD BE BETTER IF THAT WAS THE CASE.
>> Stephen: DOES IT FEEL GOOD?
IT WAS HEAVY, BUT YOU HAVE TO FACTOR IN MY UPPER BODY
STRENGTH, SO IT MIGHT BE LIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE.
HOW LONG WAS YOUR LOVE OF LIVERPOOL.
>> MY FIRST THOUGHT AS A CHILD.
I BETTER SUPPORT LIVERPOOL OR I'LL ANGER FATHER.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WAS THAT A
FREQUENT CONCERN?
>> SURE, YES.
>> Stephen: I NEED SOME U.K.
POLITICAL ADVICE OR KNOWLEDGE.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF THAT?
>> SURE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
IT LOOKS LIKE GOING GREAT.
THAT'S THE KIND OF NUTSHELL VERSION OF IT FOR YOU.
IT'S CHAOTIC AND IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE.
>> Stephen: IN SOME WAYS I'M KIND OF OFF THE CARING OF WHAT
HAPPENS WITH BRECT TRAIN BECAUSE IT'S TAKEN SO LONG.
LET ME KNOW WHEN IT IMPLODES OR DOESN'T.
>> YES, THAT'S FAIR.
>> Stephen: BUT I'M INTERESTED IN WHO THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER
IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE THE LEADING GUY IS BORIS JOHNSON.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: TELL ME ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE A FAILED
CLONE OF DONALD TRUMP.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: LIKE THEY TRIED TO CLONE DONALD TRUMP WITH A
TOENAIL CLIPPER THAT DIDN'T QUITE TAKE.
WHAT'S HIS DEAL?
>> TO SAY HE'S A FAILED CLONE OF DONALD TRUMP IS PERFECT BECAUSE
IT'S AN INSULT TO BOTH OF THEM SOMEHOW, THAT'S WHY I LIKE IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
BUT WE'LL SEE.
I GUESS HE'S LIKELY TO BECOME PRIME MINISTER.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S HIS DEAL?
WHAT'S HIS DEAL?
>> Stephen: WHAT'S HE KNOWN FOR?
>> LIKE ENTITLEMENT FROM AN EARLY AGE, A KIND OF DEEP, DEEP
WHITE-HOT AMBITION PULSING THROUGH HIS LIFE, NO REAL
PRINCIPLES TO NAME OF ANY KIND.
A KIND OF -- >> Stephen: AND WHAT ABOUT
BORIS JOHNSON?
WHAT'S HE LIKE?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
>> WELL, THAT'S THE THING.
SUPERFICIALLY, THEY ARE SIMILAR.
>> Stephen: I BELIEVE THE TERM IS SUPERKALLIE FRAGILE
LISTINGLY.
>> YES, AND TEND RESULT IS THE SAME.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO EAT FOR DINNER?
A BEAL OF ( BLEEP ) OR A BOWL SCREWS.
THEY'RE BOTH AWFUL AND WILL HURT YOU IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THERE WAS A DUSTUP
KIND OF IN THE PRESS AND POLITICIANS BECAUSE THESE
DIPLOMATIC CABLES.
I LOVE THE TERM DIPLOMATIC CABLE, BY THE WAY.
THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED STATES, A GUY NAMED KIM
DUROCHE, A VERY POLITE GUY, VERY DIPLOMATIC --
>> AND BRITISH DIPLOMAT, BUT HE CAN REALLY CONTAIN ALL FEELINGS
ABOUT ANYTHING AND JUST CALCIFY THEM INTO A DIAMOND.
>> Stephen: AND THEN HE -- BUT IN HIS CABLES, HE WAS VERY FRANK
AND SAID THIS GUY'S AN IDIOT, HE'S TRYING TO BLOW UP THE WORLD
JUST BECAUSE HE'S BITTER ABOUT BARACK OBAMA.
>> I WOULD ARGUE THAT'S STILL WITHIN THE LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY
WITH WHAT HE COULD HAVE SAID.
>> Stephen: YEAH?
YES, BUT HE DID SAY THAT.
IT WASN'T MEANT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.
>> Stephen: SO HE RESIGNED.
YES.
>> Stephen: BORIS JOHNSON DID NOT SUPPORT KIM DUROCHE.
>> NO.
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES THAT PRESSAGE OF WHAT TRUMP AND
JOHNSON'S LAPPING WILL BE LIKE OR WHO MIGHT TAKE THAT PLACE?
>> WHO KNOWS.
BORIS JOHNSON ( BLEEP ) TALKED MOST PEOPLE HIMSELF.
HE SAID TRUMP WAS AN IDIOT.
>> Stephen: BUT IF HE SAYS ANYTHING NICE ABOUT TRUMP, HE
FORGIVES YOU.
LINDSEY GRAHAM SAD HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT TRUMP.
>> BORIS JOHNSON HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER.
HE'S A MORAL WIND SOCK.
HE WILL GO WHICHEVER WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING.
>> Stephen: SADLY, WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER COMMERCIAL BREAK.
BACK WITH MORE JOHN OLIVER!
