BUT FIRST, LAST WEEK GREAT BRITIAN HELD PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS, IT TURNS OUT THIS LADY, THIS LADY SHE DOESN'T RUN THE PLACE. SHE'S JUST WATCHING THEIR DOGS. SHE'S CORGI SITTING FOR BRITAIN. THAT'S ALL SHE'S DOING. WELL, I'M SURE HER PAY IS COMMENSURATE WITH HER TASKS. ANYWAY ON THURSDAY BRITISH VOTERS CHOSE THEIR NEXT PRIME MINISTER, CONSERVATIVE AND CURRENT PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON AN OXFORD EDUCATED 48-YEAR-OLD, THUMPED LABOR'S ED MILIBAND, AN OXFORD EDUCATED 45-YEAR-OLD, BECAUSE HE CAN'T MAKE UP THOSE THREE YEARS. THIS BEING A NATIONAL ELECTION THE UK MEDIA WAS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS, THEY HAD THEIR CREEPY MADAME TUSSAUD VOTE TALLY HOLOGRAMS, THEY HAD AN UNREALISTICALLY POLITE VIRTUAL PARLIAMENT THAT DOUBLED AS THE WORST SIM'S EXPANSION PACK EVER AND THEY HAD AN OPINION ROOM WHERE EACH PUNDIT APPEARED TO HAVE MISSED THEIR FLIGHT WHILE ONE GUY BIDES HIS TIME WITH SUDOKU, HE IS JUST BORED OUT OF HIS MIND. I JUST REALIZED, THE HOLOGRAMS, THE VIRTUAL SETS, THE BRITISH MEDIA HAS CONTRACTED A DEVASTATING CASE OF CNNITIS. IT'S WHEN A NEWS ORGANIZATION SPENDS A GREAT DEAL OF TIME CREATING VISUALS AND SET PIECES WHICH SERVE NO DISCERNIBLE PURPOSE AND SHED NO PERCEPTIBLE LIGHT AND ACTUALLY DISTRACT YOU FROM WHAT IT WAS THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND OUT. BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING, NO ONE CAN ACTUALLY CHALLENGE THE MASTER. >> GOOD MORNING FROM THE TOP OF A BIG RED BUS THAT IS NOW MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS WESTMINSTER BRIDGE, ALISYN. >> SO RICHARD, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN NOW FOR THAT REFERENDUM FOR BRITAIN LEAVING THE EU? >> ALISYN, I CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT. HAVE A LOOK AT THAT, AS A MILLION DOLLAR SHOT, LOOK AT THAT, RIGHT UP THE RIVER THAMES, THE LONDON EYE. >> Jon: CAMEROTA ASKED YOU A REAL QUESTION, YOU POINTED TO A [BLEEP] FERRIS WHEEL. THAT IS WHAT A SIX-YEAR-OLD DOES. I SEE A WHEEL, IT IS NICE, IT SPINS AROUND. WELL, BRITAIN'S MEDIA COULDN'T MATCH US WITH WIDE EYED NONSENSE THEY DID COMPARE WITH US IN ONE ARENA. >> THE POLLS WERE COMPLETELY WRONG. ALL THE ADVANCED POLLS WERE VERY WRONG. THE REAL SHOT CAME AT 10 P.M. LONDON TIME WHEN THE EXIT POLL WAS ANNOUNCED. >> Jon: ISN'T THAT WHY WE HAVE ELECTIONS? TO TEST THE STRENGTH AND COMPETENCE OF OUR POLLS? THE REAL WINNER TONIGHT WAS OUR POLLING SAFEGUARD SYSTEM. THE ELECTION. SO DESPITE ALL PREDICTIONS, CAMERON'S CONSERVATIVE SWEPT TO AN OUTRIGHT MAJORITY. THEIR MESSAGE MUST HAVE REALLY CLICKED WITH VOTERS. >> THE CONSERVATIVES CAN ACTUALLY GOVERN THE WAY THEY WANT TO. >> GET RID OF THE DEFICIT. >> AUSTERITY MEASURES REALLY HITTING THOSE LOWER ON THE ECONOMIC SCALE. >> VERY LARGE CUTS TO THE WELFARE STATE. >> REPEAL TONY BLAIR'S BAN ON HUNTING WITH DOGS. >> Jon: WHAT A POPULAR MESSAGE, A HEADY MIX OF GRINDING AUSTERITY AND THE KILLING OF SMALL FURY ANIMALS. I ALMOST HATE TO SAY THIS BUT LEAVE FOX ALONE. (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) FOX NEVER HURT ANYBODY. (LAUGHTER) ANYWAY THOSE POLICIES SOUND LIKE STUFF BRITISH PEOPLE WOULD HATE. HOW DOES LABOUR NOT WALK AWAY WITH THIS ELECTION? >> ED MILIBAND HAD PRETTY DISMAL RATINGS WHEN IT CAME TO LEADERSHIP. THE VOTERS DIDN'T REALLY SEE HIM AS PRIME MINISTERIAL. >> 40% THOUGHT YOU WERE WEIRD. >> THEY SEE YOU AS -- >> WHAT DID YOU SAY? PEOPLE I THINK THOUGHT -- >> THAT LADY IN THE BACK, IS THAT A MAN, OH RIGHT, SORRY ABOUT THAT, AND YOU'VE GOT A BEARD SO YOU'RE CLEARLY A MAN, YEAH. >> Jon: WHAT! SO THE LABOUR LEADER APPEARS TO BE THE LOVE CHILD OF JOE BIDEN AND DAVID BRENT -- SO WHAT? STILL, THE ELECTION WAS MILIBAND'S TO LOSE. I MEAN UNLESS THERE WAS SOME UNUNFORTUNATE IMAGE CRYSTALLIZING INCIDENT. >> AND IN THAT LABOUR CAMPAIGN SYMBOLIZED BY MILIBAND BREAKING ONE OF THE BASIC RULES OF POLITICS, DON'T EAT A BACON SANDWICH IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS. THE TORY SUPPORTING PRESS JUMPED ON THE IMAGE, MILIBAND WAS NOT JUST A FREE-SPENDING LABOURITE, HE JUST DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A PRIME MINISTER. >> Jon: THAT'S IT? HE ATE A BACON SANDWICH. IN OUR COUNTRY YOU ARE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED A VIABLE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED DEEP THROATING AS MUCH OF A PIG AS WILL NOT COMPLETELY BLOCK YOUR LARYNX. IF THE BRITISH PRESS WENT ALL IN ON ED'S LUNCH, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THEIR VERSION OF THE DAILY SHOW MUST HAVE DONE. >> HEY! (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) HEY, LOOK AT THIS GUY. LOOK AT THIS [BLEEP], [BLEEP], ED MILIBAND. (LAUGHTER) WHAT ARE YOU DOING SHOVING A BACON BUTTY IN YOUR GOB WITH YOUR HANDS LIKE SOME KIND OF UTENSIL-LESS GUTTERSNIPE, YOU EVER HEARD OF SILVERWARE? YOU NEVER READ YOUR DEBRETT'S GUIDE TO ETIQUETTE WITH MODERN [BLEEP] MANNERS? WHAT'S THIS, MY FRIEND? THIS IS BOLLOCKS, YOU BELLOW STAIRS TOSS POT, IF YOU ARE FEELING PECKISH, YOU POP THAT SANDWICH ON A [BLEEP] PLATE, YOU GET A KNIFE AND FORK YOU UPPITY PIECE OF [BLEEP]! (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> Jon: THAT WAS WEIRD. WOW, THEIR DAILY SHOW HOST IS ALMOST THE OPPOSITE OF OURS WHERE I WOULD NORMALLY BE UPSET WITH SOMEONE EATING WITH A KNIFE AND FORK AND YET THEIR DAILY SHOW HOST, AN YET WE BOTH TALK WITH THE SAME ACCENT. THE ELECTION HAS LEFT THE UK MORE STARKLY DIVIDED THAN EVER. THE LEFT-LEANING SCOTTISH NATIONALISTS SWEPT THE NORTH, CONSERVATIVES DOMINATE THE SOUTH, AND THEY AGREE ON ALMOST NOTHING, WELL ALMOST NOTHING. >> THE SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY IS THE VERY SAME PARTY THAT WAS PUSHING FOR A BREAKUP OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FOR SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE. >> DAVID CAMERON'S PROMISE THAT THERE WOULD BE A REFERENDUM WHERE BRITAIN WOULD GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE TO LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION. >> SO YOU COULD HAVE BRITAIN LEAVING THE EUROPEAN UNION, SCOTLAND LEAVING THE UNITED KINGDOM. >> Jon: SLYTHERIN LEAVING HOGWARTS. DOWNSTAIRS LEAVING UPSTAIRS, DOWNTON LEAVING ABBEY. DOCTOR LEAVING WHO, EVERYONE IN BRITAIN IS PRO SECESSION, THEY JUST CAN'T AGREE ON WHAT TO SECEDE FROM. LET'S JUST DO IT, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET'S JUST -- ENGLISH DITCHES EUROPE. SCOTLAND DIVORCES ENGLAND. WALES AND IRELAND SPLIT OFF AND FRAGMENT, NORTHUMBRIA AND EAST ANGLIA SECEDE. THE ANCIENT KINGDOMS OF MERCIA AND SUSSEX REASSERT THEIR RIGHTS, OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE GO TO WAR. LONDINIUM SEIZES THE BANKS, THAT WEIRD STONEHENGE THING COMES TO LIFE AND THE DRUIDS START THEIR OWN THING, TATTOO TRIBAL WAR LORDS CLASH IN PETTY SQUABBLES, UNTIL THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING ARTHUR PULLS EXCALIBUR FROM THE STONE AND ONCE AGAIN UNITES ALL BRITAINS AGAINST THE SAXON HORDE BUT BY THEN IT'S TIME FOR THE NEXT WORLD CUP AND NO ONE GIVES A [BLEEP] ABOUT POLITICS
