hoping and praying it doesn t climb any higher than 43, leland. leland: incredible work by steve and his crew there. antiparliament demonstrators inside london today, this has been going on for a while, live in london with whether this got violent or not, hi, ryan. yeah, it s been at least 3 years now, leland, you know, opposition parties normally welcome election boris johnson, he said he would like to see one last week but they said no and the reason for that is because they are concerned that if there s an election next week the conservatives and this prime minister boris johnson could use the mandate to ignore a law that they just passed that would force the prime minister to extend negotiations with the european union if he doesn t reach a temporary trade deal with the uk s biggest trading partner by the deadline of
worried at all, i believe that once the person leaves the european union britain will be hugely successful on the world stage and brexit is all about freedom, sovereignty, self-determination, economic liberty as well and you will see britain doing extremely well in brexit era. gillian: let s talk about optics for a second as much as i loathe that word, president trump met with boris johnson in g7, first time they were meeting as equals, really, as foreign heads of state representing their governments, right? lots of chemistry between them, president trump loves to talk about how they are friends. i mentioned to you a moment ago a lot of americans see a lot of president trump in boris johnson but then this week mike pence over there in london, he sat down with boris johnson for the first time at 10 downing street, i don t know if we have video there for folks at home but a lot of people said, whoa, whoa, whoa, they definitely do not
have the chemistry that trump and johnson has, what was the take on vice president pence in the uk, what did they make of him? i thought that vice president pence s visit was very successful and clearly vice president pence is huge supporter of brexit and the special relationship. very different, his nature, his disposition, it s very different from boris johnson, you know, he was very diplomatic and official seeming, he spoke to johnson in a way that really, it s just a very different vibe and the mannerism between the both show is very different. yeah, very different individuals but only completely in sync and i do think that mike pence s visit in london was successful. i spoke with british mp s who thought that the vice president s visit was a
tremendous boost for britain and great to have the world standing shoulder to shoulder with the british people, britain is great for america as well and that s the message that the vice president strongly reinforcing london absolutely the right signal to be sending. gillian: sounds like prime minister johnson wants to get vice president pence to convince america to be your possibility of that happening? that may be remote. i think we will have a great u.s.-uk treatment. do you think we should try it? i wouldn t recommend it myself, actually. gillian: we will take your word. leland.
