Former mayor of london to run things as a result of all of this. you know, this is going back to 2016 when president trump was a candidate and brexit won in the first place here is what he said. watch this. we don t have it yet. i think people really see a big parallel. a lot of people are talking about that. and not only the united states but other countries. people want to take their country back where they want to take their borders back. they want to their monetary back. they want to take a lot of things back. they want to be able to have a country again. so i think you are going to have this happen more and more. i really believe that. martha: seems like he was pressure yent on that point. let me go to each one of you on this. jehmu, will you start? well, i don t think so we saw the landslide that was expected in. so lead-up like we are saying it s too early these models sometimes don t work. ....
