Over the last few days, the networks have overflowed with gooey propaganda about the new Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. But the fakest news in the goo was claiming Obama's career was all about unifying America. NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck and MRC Director of Media Analysis Geoffrey Dickens revisit all the media adoration of the Obamas that began with the Democrat convention of 2004.  On Sunday, CBS Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan oozed “former President Barack Obama spoke of America's resilience, and urged them to reject division and recommit to each other.” On Meet The Press, NBC’s Garrett Haake touted “a theme that would come to define his political career, bridging divides and finding common ground.” Journalists love to pretend the Obamas were uniters, not dividers, and that during Obama’s presidency, it was an idyllic time of unity. That’s not true at all. It erases the conservative resistance to the Obama agenda. But the Obamas could sound less negative about their opponents because they trusted other Democrats and their allies in the media to be the attack dogs for them. The elitist media aerobically pretends the Tea Party never existed, nor the IRS scandal where Obama’s bureaucrats suppressed Tea Party groups from seeking nonprofit status. Debacles like the four Americans killed at our consulate in Benghazi, Libya are airbrushed out. Obamacare is still a “signature achievement,” and don’t look at the actual results. Every interview with the Obamas sounded like an infomercial, where they were asked how they felt about the wonderful center they built, and were told it was an amazing tour. All that was missing was a “get your tickets now” pitch. It was a dramatic contrast with how Vice President J.D. Vance faced hardball questions from every interviewer on The View last Tuesday on ABC, while ABC morning host Robin Roberts conducted the most ridiculous softball interview in Chicago since she entertained the racial fictions of actor Jussie Smollett. In other news, actor Robert DeNiro won our Worst Media Quote of the Week poll: “I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump and a sycophant Congress.” On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security released a statement that claimed the alleged ringleader of the foiled terrorist attack on the UFC fight at the White House is an illegal immigrant. Since then, ABC CBS and NBC morning and evening shows have not disclosed this new information to the viewers. By contrast, the networks have continued to obsess over the latest setbacks in Trump’s efforts to renovate the reflecting pool on the National Mall by spending 13 minutes and 18 seconds on it, as of Saturday morning. There is an ongoing Democrat civil war underway in New York City, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani attempts to install several fellow Democratic Socialists in Congress, going so far as to support the primary opponent of an incumbent in good standing and not mired in scandal of any kind. But the Elitist Media are outright omitting this from their midterm primary coverage. We'll see if that changes after the returns come in.  Enjoy the podcast below. The audio is here.   

The New York Times marked Father’s Day with a guest essay thumbing its nose at traditional families with a trans twist -- “What I Learned About Parenting as a Trans Dad.” Yes, a Father's Day essay from a "father" who is actually a woman. Fox News provided the details: “It was written by Zach Ellams, a biological woman who identifies as a male, and focuses on Ellams’ experience raising a daughter while navigating questions about gender. Several illustrations show the child asking direct questions in everyday settings.” The opening panel captions of this apparently true account: I’ve been living as a trans man since I was 18 years old. But when my wife and I had Elliot, I had to learn how to be a trans dad. The phrase "when my wife and I had Elliot" suggests anatomical impossibilities the cartoon doesn't explain.  This cartoon essay is proof that the paper’s transgender agenda won’t let any traditional holiday pass without providing an alternative-lifestyle spin on it. Things became truly cartoonish, in the sense of lacking realism, with a panel showing the daughter on a playground gym telling a playmate, "I want to grow a beard when I grow up." "You can’t grow a beard. You’re a girl," the other girl says. "My dad did, and he was a girl," the daughter replies. The “dad” in the panel indeed sports cartoon stubble. There was no specific Father’s Day hook to the piece, meaning the paper could have posted it anytime but chose Father’s Day specifically. Journalist Matt Taibbi responded on X: “Today’s NYT editorial on Father’s Day is an all-timer. Again, don’t know where to put it on the funny-vs-horrifying axis.” Seth Dillon, CEO of The Babylon Bee, used the cartoon to note on X that “Wokeness may be limping a bit from injuries, but it isn’t dead.” The Times seems to enjoy knocking down traditional parental roles for the holidays; witness the tease to a 4,000-word piece that ran on Father’s Day 2011: “In Brooklyn, a single mother, her son, her sperm donor and his lover are helping to redefine the concept of the American family.”

In covering U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's announcement on Monday that he would be resigning from office and as leader of the Labour Party, ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today somehow failed to inform viewers about the most important piece of information anytime someone resigns from office: Why did they quit in the first place? Add in CBS Mornings and none of them brought up what were perhaps the final straws in the case of Henry Nowak, last week's Rape Gang Inquiry Report, and riots in Northern Ireland. Instead, ABC’s Good Morning America blamed Starmer’s stepping down simply on his unpopularity among Brits, and the Labour Party “looking around for a replacement.” They also mentioned President Trump, suggesting that his criticism had something to do with Starmer’s fall from power: President Trump has not been shy, he has been very critical of the British leadership over the last couple of years, especially Keir Starmer.     .@GMA and @ABC completely avoided discussing why @Keir_Starmer resigned this morning. Why? I think you know why. pic.twitter.com/c3q6Ltwi1g — Cici Marie (@Cici_Marie_1776) June 22, 2026   CBS Mornings was the closest to offering substance, citing Britain’s “sluggish” economy, the Labour Party’s “poor showing at recent elections,” ties to former U.S. Ambassador and Jeffery Epstein associate Peter Mandelson, and “repeated mockery from President Trump.” Correspondent Chris Livesay lamented that “Keir Starmer’s departure marks a historic period of instability for one of America's closest allies.”   .@CBSNews gets close... but misses the real reasons why @Keir_Starmer resigned in disgrace by a mile (or kilometer, if you will) NO mention of the rape gang report, Henry Nowak, the attempted beheading of Stephen Ogilvie in Belfast, or any other horrific crimes against Brits. pic.twitter.com/cp3UfUj9Gy — Cici Marie (@Cici_Marie_1776) June 22, 2026   Most grievously, NBC’s Today upheld Starmer as a family man who stepped aside so he could be a better husband and father: His wife, Victoria, was there today. He also said he'd spend more time with his kids, being the best dad. This is a man who is often criticized for not – for failing to connect emotionally with the electorate.  According to NBC, the most effective way a man can “connect emotionally” with people is to cry on live television, as Starmer did while giving his resignation speech.    .@NBCNews says @Keir_Starmer resigned so he can be a better husband and dad. Then he cries on live TV, and they say that's how a man should "connect emotionally with the electorate." This is the left's idea of masculinity: failing spectacularly and crying about it. pic.twitter.com/gegjdP118V — Cici Marie (@Cici_Marie_1776) June 22, 2026   What’s most noteworthy about these big broadcasts’ coverage was what they left out. There was no mention from any of them about the Rape Gang Report, Nowak, or the attempted beheading of an Irishman by an African migrant, all of which sparked massive protests and unrest across the U.K.  But rather than addressing the true concerns of his people, Starmer has been more focused on arresting people for social media posts and condemning so-called “anti-Muslim hatred,” while remaining silent on the backgrounds of the perpetrators of some of the most horrific crimes to date. And yet, the American broadcasts touted this line from Starmer’s speech: Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. They took him at his word, like they do every left-leaning politician, while ignoring his actual record in government. The transcripts are below.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepping aside, making the announcement just hours ago. He is the sixth prime minister to leave office in the last ten years.    Our chief international correspondent, James Longman, has the details and what this means for one of our closest allies. Good morning,  James. JAMES LONGMAN: Yeah, good morning, Michael.    One of the U.S.'s closest allies is changing leaders once again. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer came out from behind that famous black door to announce that he's going to step down as both the leader of the Labour Party and as Prime Minister. He was flanked by his wife and his team.    He said he was very proud of what he'd done in office, but the reality is he's very unpopular in the country, and so his Labour Party has been looking around for a replacement.    What happens now? Well, we thought there was going to be a contest, but things are moving very fast this morning, and it seems likely that Andy Burnham, who was until recently the Mayor of Manchester, seen as a much better communicator, he is just going to replace Keir Starmer at some point soon.    Now, the U.K.-U.S. relationship is very important to this country. It is called the 'special relationship' in the United Kingdom, though President Trump has not been shy, he has been very critical of the British leadership over the last couple of years, especially Keir Starmer. What will he make of Andy Burnham? Well, it's very difficult to know. They come from very different political worlds. But we know that Donald Trump places a lot of emphasis on personality, so who knows?    But what we do know is that very soon, the U.K. will see its seventh prime minister in just ten years. Robin. ROBIN ROBERTS: That we do know, as you said, James, thank you.        CBS Mornings 6/22/26 8:08:09 a.m. Eastern   VLADIMIR DUTHIERS: Now to that breaking news from the U.K. The resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer after just two years in office. He made the announcement this morning at his official residence.    Chris Livesay is outside Parliament in London. Chris, good morning. CHRIS LIVESAY: Good morning, Vlad.   Well, that pressure had been mounting on Keir Starmer for weeks. As recently as Friday, he remained defiant and said he wasn't going anywhere, but this morning, things changed. Just a couple of hours ago, that defiance was gone.  [Cut to video] LIVESAY, VOICEOVER: Britain is due for its seventh prime minister in only ten years.   KEIR STARMER: Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party.   LIVESAY, VOICEOVER: When Keir Starmer led the Labour Party to a landslide victory in 2024, many Britons thought the country's revolving door of prime ministers had finally stopped spinning. Instead, there it twirls again.    Britain's economy has remained sluggish. Many voters are still struggling with high prices, high taxes, and overstretched public services. Labour's poor showing at recent local elections only deepened concerns, while the anti-establishment Reform U.K., led by Nigel Farage, has surged in the polls.    DONALD TRUMP: My mother would be proud.   LIVESAY, VOICEOVER: Starmer has also been damaged by the controversy surrounding the former U.K. Ambassador to the U.S., Peter Mandelson, and renewed scrutiny of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. And he's faced repeated mockery from President Trump. TRUMP [on 03/03/26]: And, you know, unfortunately, Keir is not Winston Churchill. LIVESAY, VOICEOVER: Over the weekend, M.P.s from Starmer's own party continued to publicly call for him to resign and make way for a newly re-elected M.P., the former mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham. ANDY BURNHAM: And that's the kind of change we need, too, a change in our politics to make it work again for people.[Cut back to live] LIVESAY: Now, unlike an American President, a British Prime Minister can effectively be fired by members of his own party. That's regardless of election time tables, leaving voters without their say.    Keir Starmer's departure marks a historic period of instability for one of America's closest allies. Matt? MATT GUTMAN: Chris Livesay in London, thank you, Chris.       NBC's Today 6/22/26 8:10:32 a.m. Eastern   CRAIG MELVIN: We've got more breaking news to get to this morning. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announcing his plans to resign amid mounting pressure from his own party.    NBC's Molly Hunter is in London for us on this breaking news. Molly, good morning. What can you tell us? MOLLY HUNTER: Craig, good morning. That's right, mounting pressure. The speculation has been rising in recent days.    Just about two years after Prime Minister Keir Starmer won a massive mandate, putting the Labour Party back into power, he announced this morning that he is stepping down. In a short resignation speech outside the prime minister's residence — you see that famous black door right there — Starmer summed up his government's achievements, he said he was very proud of his time in office, and said it was clear his party had lost faith in his leadership. Now, he also said he informed King Charles of his decision this morning.    Craig, as far as what's next, if it's a single candidate, it will be an orderly transition. If there are multiple, there will be an election within the Labour Party. It will all be wrapped up by September. And Starmer said he will fully support his successor.    Now perhaps, though, the part of his speech which will be most memorable, that people are really talking about here this morning is this. Take a listen.[Cut to video] KEIR STARMER: I shall spend more time on the most important job: being the best husband I can to my fantastic wife, Vic, who has been a rock by my side through good times and bad. And being the best dad I can —[Cut back to live] HUNTER: And you hear his voice right there. His wife, Victoria, was there today. He also said he'd spend more time with his kids, being the best dad. This is a man who is often criticized for not — for failing to connect emotionally with the electorate.    And Craig, there's also a lot of soul searching here, or will be in coming days about who, if anyone, can effectively run this country. Britain will have had seven prime ministers in just ten years. Guys? MELVIN: Alright, Molly Hunter there with that breaking news overseas. Molly, thank you.  

In their weekly chat on Substack, former CNN and Washington Post reporter Chris Cillizza and former NBC and MSNBC host Chuck Todd quipped on Monday that racism was “the only reason” why the American people view Barack Obama as a liberal president, even though he was only “a degree more liberal than Bill Clinton” and “temperamentally a moderate.” At one point, Todd declared to Cillizza’s amusement that “[t]he only reason people think he was liberal is because he’s black.” “The only reason people think Obama was liberal is because he’s black” – @ChuckTodd on Monday on the So What with @ChrisCillizza podcast: Todd: “What policy was he that liberal on, Chris? It’s one of the biggest-” Cillizza: “It’s because he was black.” Todd: “Thank you. The only… pic.twitter.com/5DjSjfQ7vG — Brent Baker               (@BrentHBaker) June 22, 2026 The conversation seemingly came out of nowhere as the pair were discussing with some dismay the socialist/communist takeover of the Democratic Party. Cillizza said “we” — likely referring to the political establishment and news media — “focus so much on Trump’s hostile takeover of the Republican Party and rightfully so,” but “his influence on the radicalization of the left and the empowerment of the far left is very real, too.” “This is liberal Tea Party. DSA is the liberal Tea Party,” Todd replied, referring to the Democratic Socialists of America. Todd invoked Obama: “By the way, Obama radicalized the far right. It was the same thing, right? The far right viewed Obama as some left-winger when Obama was basically a degree more liberal than Bill Clinton, you know?” Here are a few examples of liberal policies: axing the Keystone XL pipeline, Cash for Clunkers, Dodd-Frank, IRS targeting the Tea Party, ObamaCare, Solyndra, suing nuns, suing journalists, and support for gay marriage are just a few examples that would have been dubious in the Bill Clinton presidency. Nonetheless, Cillizza claimed Obama was “temperamentally a moderate” but “probably liberal on policy.” Then came the exchange in question, which ended in Todd defending Obama’s presidency as closer to George W. Bush in terms of ideology than Trump. While that may be true, Americans voted twice for Trump, rejecting both progressivism and compassionate conservativism: TODD: What policy was he that liberal on, Chris? It’s one of the biggest — CILLIZZA: It’s because he was black. TODD: Thank you. CILLIZZA: Honestly! Like — TODD: The only reason people think he was liberal is because he’s black. CILLIZZA: — right. TODD: Like, it’s this, he — he — he governed more closely to George W. Bush than — than Donald Trump, you know, has. Todd shifted the conversation to acknowledging a “new liberal argument against Barack Obama...which is, oh, he was a failed president because he didn’t — he didn’t take advantage of — he didn’t know how to use power.” “Like, the big new criticism of — of Obama is he didn’t know his power. My — look, I — I found — I did a whole thing this morning about sort of, because I got the question, which is how much just Trump impacts the Obama legacy, right? Can you talk about Obama without talking about Trump? And the answer is no, right,” he added. Unsurprisingly, the liberal former Meet the Press moderator wishcasted Obama had not put his thumb on the scales in 2016 for Hillary Clinton, robbing his fellow lefties of a true, successful “heir” to the Obama legacy (click “expand”): TODD: The question is knowing, then what you know now, what would you have done differently? And it all, for me, it goes back to endorsing Hillary Clinton, right? Like, that probably was he — CILLIZZA: Right. In 2016. TODD: — yeah, it was probably him not understanding why he got the nomination in 2008 in the first place, right? Endorsing Clinton was the right thing to do personally, because the Clintons helped him in 2012. He owed them. There was a quid pro quo. So, what he did personally in playing politics was a pretty savvy move for the — for the — as a leader of the Democratic Party, it was a disastrous move — CILLIZZA: Yep. TODD: — it turned out. CILLIZZA: That’s right. I mean, it’s led to everything else. It led to the Biden resentment. I mean, obviously it led to Clinton losing, but then it led to Biden resenting it and saying — TODD: Yeah, yeah. CILLIZZA: — I’m going back in again, his presidency, his refusal to give it up. TODD: I mean, there’s a lot of forks in the road. So, imagine if – if — if Obama had taken on a different, a younger different running name, Amy Klobuchar, Michael Bennet, Jon Tester — CILLIZZA: — which they did consider — they did consider, at the end of the second term. TODD: — yeah, and — look, it’s easy to say, boy, they should have done that. CILLIZZA: But, well, yeah, of course. TODD: You know, at the time, it didn’t seem like a necessity. And it seems like why create extra drama when you don’t need to — like, I can’t sit here. Yes, I would say, oh, it probably prevents him — not having a heir apparent was a mistake. And you can’t be a successful legacy leader if you don’t have that — if you didn’t have your heir apparent. CILLIZZA: Correct. because otherwise it’s a, it’s a, it’s a party of one. TODD: That’s right. CILLIZZA: Right. I mean, it’s you, yes — people — I mean, it’s Trump. Yes, Trump can build a coalition to win two national elections, but Republicans can’t.  Later in the show, Todd argued the Trump administration’s war with Iran and memorandum of understanding is the worst American foreign policy move since launching the Vietnam War (click “expand”): Chuck Todd says the Trump administration’s deal with Iran is “the worst foreign policy decision...since Vietnam”... “The Trump presidency is not going to have a spectacular ending.

The Trump presidency is going to be a terrible ending, a dumb ending...It is more likely that to sort of, you know, the, the reveal that the emperor has no clothes is more likely to come from something dumb like the reflecting pool then it is to come from something consequential like handing Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. Like, that is such a consequential mistake. And, like, the literally the worst foreign policy decision now. This is worse than — than — than anything since Vietnam, okay? Vietnam led to way too many more deaths. You cannot say it’s a worse mistake than Vietnam. But this was a catastrophe in as far as it, I guess what’s amazing is how quickly it became a catastrophe, right? Literally handing the keys to the Strait. That is what should be the beginning of the end of his presidency. But in some ways, a presidency, a President that has been so unserious, right? A President that has been so sort of ignorant about the job itself. Of course, in some ways, this is the fitting end. Now, I don’t know if this is the end. I don’t know if this is what finally triggers, and I’m not saying it will, but it is more likely a dumb story like this is the ending to the Trump era than it is a more consequential mistake, like this giving the Iranians control of the Strait of Hormuz, right? Like even though one is a lot more serious, one would be treated with multiple books..and yet, like all of the ways that this reflecting pool became a story, became irrelevant are — are — are wrapped up in everything Donald Trump has done to destroy the American political system in his last — it — it is all in this nice, neat package, the, you know, the killing of ducks, because they’re obsessed with the algae. And oh, by the way, he just wants this for a photo of, he’s literally gonna care on July 5, what the Reflecting Pool looks like. He just cares about what the Reflecting Pool looks like for the one time he is going to be speaking at it, right? He has this — it is literally, he cares about the cosmetics of the presidency, not the substance. To see the relevant transcript from the June 22 Substack video, click here.

Over the last few days, American news networks have failed to make any mention of a massive report about the rampancy of migrant rape gangs in the UK. Now, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned under colossal political pressure surrounding the migrant crisis, Monday’s CNN News Central had only continued to avoid mention of the terrifying report and the other consequences of mass migration in the U.K. During the morning’s CNN News Central, there was hourly coverage of Starmer’s resignation from the role of Prime Minister. Only once did they go into the reasons behind his resignation, with CNN correspondent Clare Sebastian saying this about the troubles facing the U.K.’s political leadership: Why, you might ask, can the UK not hold on to prime ministers? Well, there's a number of different reasons. But ten years ago this week, the UK voted to leave the European Union and the turmoil that has followed, the economic turmoil, the political turmoil, certainly has contributed to some of this. There's other economic reasons as well. The big surge in inflation that we saw after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has really hurt people here, and they are looking for radical change.   CNN's News Central Mentions Keir Starmer's resignation 3 times over 3 hours, even goes into the details once, but NEVER mentions the migrants trying to behead people or the migrant gangs trafficking children. They blame Brexit while kids are being raped & tortured. Horrible. pic.twitter.com/8toHJjANEX — James Waterman (@jwatermaniv) June 22, 2026   Sebastian was very vague about the conditions surrounding Starmer’s resignation, shifting the blame onto U.K.’s exit from the E.U., the Ukraine war, and COVID, things which occurred years ago. She avoided mention of the actual current disaster facing Starmer’s administration: the UK migration crisis. For the past few years, concerns among the British public have risen regarding immigration, eventually reaching a breaking point after two massive scandals in the past two weeks. Firstly, major riots in Belfast after a beheading attempt by a Sudanese migrant. Secondly, the release of a massive report uncovering huge child trafficking networks in the U.K., perpetrated primarily by Muslim immigrants and entirely ignored by the British government. Those who only listen to the media, however, have probably never heard about these crises. According to Sebastian, Starmer simply just didn’t bring the radical leftist change he promised: Now, Keir Starmer swept to power in a landslide nearly two years ago, promising that radical change. But most people here, well, certainly most people around the country that we've spoken to, and an increasing number of members of parliament in his party, feel that he hasn't managed to deliver that. This cover-up of immigration crises like these was part of a larger campaign by the media. They downplay the brutal effects mass immigration has on European societies. They demonize those who try to fight back against the flood of violent criminals into their societies. By acting as agents of the leftist political order, the media hoped to pull the wool over American eyes, blinding them to the dangers that their mass immigration policies bring upon places they were implemented in. All this to further the implementation of the same disastrous policies in America. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read. CNN News Central June 22, 2026 07:24:44 AM Eastern JOHN BERMAN: All right. Breaking just a short time ago, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced he is resigning less than two years after he won the job: [Cuts to video] KEIR STARMER (Outgoing UK Prime Minister): Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labor Party. [Cuts back to live] BERMAN: Alright. Major political upheaval for one of America's closest allies. And this paves the way for the sixth prime minister in just seven years. Let's get to CNN's Clare Sebastian outside 10 Downing Street for the latest on all this. I think a lot of people saw this coming. Still a political earthquake. CLARE SEBASTIAN: Yeah, this is still a major moment in British politics, John. We have, I have to say, gotten kind of used to seeing these podiums put out outside number 10 over the last decade. If the new prime minister is installed quickly, that will be the seventh occupant of 10 Downing Street over the past decade.  Why, you might ask, can the UK not hold on to prime ministers? Well, there's a number of different reasons. But ten years ago this week, the UK voted to leave the European Union and the turmoil that has followed, the economic turmoil, the political turmoil, certainly has contributed to some of this. There's other economic reasons as well. The big surge in inflation that we saw after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine has really hurt people here, and they are looking for radical change.  Now, Keir Starmer swept to power in a landslide nearly two years ago, promising that radical change. But most people here, well, certainly most people around the country that we've spoken to, and an increasing number of members of parliament in his party, feel that he hasn't managed to deliver that.  So, that has brought us to this moment. As to what has happened next, well, Andy Burnham, who was up until very recently the mayor of Greater Manchester, he will now be sworn in as a member of parliament this afternoon. He is seen as the man best placed to replace Keir Starmer. We don't know for sure yet whether or not anyone will challenge him. It's looking increasingly like they won't, so this could be over within a matter of weeks.  But unsurprisingly, he is coming in and promising stability. Writing in a post this morning: “...The country expects stability, seriousness and a continued focus on the issues that matter most, and that is what it will get…” now.  As for US Relations, Starmer had been seen as something of a Trump whisperer. He played a lot of sort of big cards early on. The second state visit, lots of sort of meetings and, you know, the famous moments in the Oval Office. But relations had deteriorated in the Iran war, in particular being a bone of contention.  It's not clear how Andy Burnham, if he does become the next prime minister, will play this. But certainly perhaps he has even further to the left. So even further away from Trump on the political spectrum. John? BERMAN: Yeah. I mean, Andy Burnham will have so many issues internally. It will be unclear even where Trump ranks necessarily in the top three, four, or five items on his list. Clare Sebastian outside 10 Downing Street, getting a new occupant very soon. Thank you very much. Sara? SARA SIDNER: All right. Thank you John.
