00:00Well, thank you Bev. There's a lot of questions in one there. I will say, I know the president

00:04has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Starmer. You have been there, you've seen them

00:08in their interactions, you've questioned both leaders in your time joining us when we've gone

00:13to the United Kingdom a few different times now. However, he has always been very frank when he

00:18disagrees with leaders, even whom he has a good relationship with. And the BBC, being a fair news

00:24organization, is definitely an outlet. I think these two leaders would disagree. The president

00:29has made it very clear that this is a leftist propaganda machine that is unfortunately

00:33subsidized by British taxpayers. And he thinks that's extremely unfortunate for the great people

00:39of the United Kingdom and Great Britain. And I think that the president was deeply concerned by

00:45the editing, the purposeful and dishonest editing of his speech that was so clearly fake news. And

00:52he rightfully dubbed that term many years ago. And this is a classic example of that. We see it in

00:57the United States all the time. We see it now in the United Kingdom. As you know, the president's

01:01external legal counsel has filed a lawsuit against the BBC. We expect that to continue. And whether

01:07they apologize or not is up to them.
