if you think of this as a game of musical chairs, lachlan got a chair and when james looked down, there was no chair. can we call this an exit interview? no, not yet. i still have a few projects. but you re running you re ceo of 21st century fox. some point in the nearish future you re not going to be. what are you going to do after that? well, i don t know. i think the first thing is that rupert was never as close to james as he is to lachlan, who s an easier personality, is much closer to his father s political views. and he makes a selfish choice. he chooses between his two sons and he chooses lachlan to succeed him. what surfaces after the deal is that there s a new dynamic in the family. now james is more closely aligned with his sister elisabeth. at the same time, james will continue to not speak with his
european command. to speak to the russians at that level. there s multiple ways of communicating. it s important right now as we said throughout the last eight months, while we don t want business as usual with russia, we believe it s important for a bilateral communication to stay open. today, there was a group of three house democrats urging what they called a proactive, diplomatic push to seek a cease-fire. last week, it interview, kevin mccarthy suggested that the republican house would tierney sitting in a recession, they re not going to write a blank check to ukraine. is the white house concerned about being able to continue to provide support to ukraine? we ve been getting terrific bipartisan support. both sides of the aisle for the last eight months, beyond that. and certainly, strong public support for supporting ukraine and we re grateful for that and the presidents gonna continue to work with congress going forward, i won t get ahead of the midterms. i know things migh
put off a spike in gas prices until after the midterm elections. if does nub remember the quid pro quo and all of the impeachments? hello. [laughter] nicole it s all about the midterms. yes, it is. dr. anthony fauci is about to retire, and now in a glowing exit interview, dr. fauci says never got political. the misconception is that i was misleading people. you know, to say that i, who have been adviser to seven presidents and have never, ever seared one way or the other from an ideological standpoint, for somebody to say that, you know, i m political. yeah, political, i mean, that s completely crazy. okay. well, he does certainly have a high opinion of himself [laughter] but in terms of how he handled the viral origin investigations, the travel bans, masks, lockdowns, natural immunity and the kids being the lowest risk, i think many americans have a different opinion of him.
