HBO John Oliver’s liberal host mourned the state of America in The Late Show, but insisted he would “go down with the Titanic” instead of leaving UK again
Host of HBO’s political commentary and comedy “Last Week Last Tonight” told Stephen Colbert of CBS on Monday evening that he recently became an American citizen and would stay in America despite suggesting it is a ship that Sink under the administration of Trump.
“Oh, no, I’m taking it away. I’m going down with titanic, ”Oliver said before Colbert.
Both comedians recalled Oliver’s previous appearances on the show, including his latest, which was the night before the 2024 election day. The two mentioned the horror they felt predicting Trump’s victory.
“Cards on the table, by the way,” said Colbert, “I don’t remember anything we talked about because I don’t think I was hearing a word you said.”
Oliver tried, stating, “Yes, you have definitely had a haunted expression, as you have seen the ghost that would visit us within twenty -four hours.”
“It is a suboptimal time in human history,” the British commentator added, referring to President Trump who was in the White House.
Colbert brought Oliver’s new citizenship and asked if he was staying in the country taking into account the new leadership. Oliver said he was and added more to his analogy of America under Trump being as Titanic.
Referring to the group’s history played on the ship of luck to the point of her death, he said, “I know there can be no strips of life available but I’m being accorded. Gentlemen has been an honor playing with you tonight. ”
The two spoke of the first four weeks of Trump’s second administration, which Colbert described as, “exactly what you thought, but worse than you could imagine.”
Oliver agreed and then stressed how absurd he believed that the presence of the host of TV Dr. Phil in an ice raid at the end of last month was.
“Dr. Phil has so much sense there that he in the office of a psychiatrist, “he said, mocking the TV host, who was once a licensed psychologist.
Elsewhere during their interview, Oliver mentioned how people seeing people protesting for Trump, as the way they demonstrated his so -called Muslim ban in 2017, gives him hope.
He quoted an unnamed lawyer of the Department of Justice who opposed the detention at the time, stating, “he said seeing people invading those airports – seeing the protests was really useful to him in terms of his energy And also making them feel that the will of the people were further acting. “
“He said,” Activism outside our building helped with activism within it, “and I think it’s really important to remember,” Oliver said, “You can send a message. You don’t have to wait Just to vote. “
