Our new media seat, we have Bev Turner, who works for a new outlet, a UK outlet, but based here
0:06
in Washington, D.C., GB News. Bev, thank you for being here today. Why don't you kick us off
0:11
Thank you, Caroline. So the clock is ticking on the Friday deadline by which the BBC must
0:16
retract and apologize for their malicious edits of the president in the documentary shown last
0:21
year. The recently resigned director general of the BBC yesterday described the organization as
0:27
the very best of society and blamed the enemies of the BBC for this outcome. Also yesterday
0:35
a senior government minister launched a fierce defense of the channel in the House of Commons
0:40
saying that the broadcaster remains a light on the hill for people all over the world. So
0:46
does the president feel that the network is taking this situation seriously? Does he believe
0:51
that they've shown sufficient regret? Does this strain the relationship between the president and
0:57
the prime minister And given that the organization is publicly funded is the president prepared to bankrupt the BBC in his pursuit of truth and justice Well thank you Bev There a lot of questions in one there I will say I know the president has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Sharma You have been there
1:14
you've seen them in their interactions, you've questioned both leaders in your
1:18
time joining us when we've gone to the United Kingdom a few different times now
1:22
However, he has always been very frank when he disagrees with leaders even whom
1:27
he has a good relationship with and the BBC being a fair news organization is
1:32
definitely an outlet. I think these two leaders would disagree. The president has made it very
1:37
clear that this is a leftist propaganda machine that is unfortunately subsidized by British
1:43
taxpayers. And he thinks that's extremely unfortunate for the great people of the United
1:47
Kingdom and Great Britain. And I think that the president was deeply concerned by the editing
1:53
the purposeful and dishonest editing of his speech that was so clearly fake news. And he
2:00
rightfully dubbed that term many years ago. And this is a classic example of that. We see it in
2:04
the United States all the time. We see it now in the United Kingdom. As you know, the president's
2:08
external legal counsel has filed a lawsuit against the BBC. We expect that to continue
2:14
and whether they apologize or not is up to them
