evening and you're very welcome thanks for coming on benjamin what's your reaction to what's happened today. when did the in the u.k. protesting laws stated that the broadcaster licensees must have control over the license so this is including at utah real oversight over the programs or so license holders cannot be controlled by political parties. so the u.k. what later concluded that the china star china media ltd the license holder for the c.g. service did not have a responsibility for security ends up which is of course under the control of the communist party china i think it's a classic double standard and selective prosecution service funded by licensing is very set by the british government no one would believe that there is 0 proof or influence on what's being broadcast on the b.b.c. in fact there are also many broadcasters in the u.k. with very strong inference from us and it is and they were not prosecuted. what it said and the reason it's denied or revoked the license it seems to be an easy problem to resolve doesn't it i mean i am saying strange to me that this company's b

and having a president like benjamin harris and who doesn't like you as secretary of state. that's an awful burden to carry because benjamin harrison, he's not a glad i had handing or nice kind of a person. he's a you know, the speaker of the house said i only had two enemies in public life one of them the president pardoned out of the penitentiary and the other he made the collector of the port in portland maine that this is not a we call sort of the common touch. i mean you could almost say at harrison to hardly know him to know him. well, he's a he's an honest man. he's an upright man, but he is not a glad-handing person and he in blaine, you know had markedly different personalities. so my answer is i think blaine did the best he could but by the time he becomes secretary of state the second time he's a man with very serious health issues and you know, i think it's you know about six months after he retires or resigned the secretary of state he dies in early 1893 so it's it's kind of a sad story really very much. yeah, um, i have two more questions here for you, maybe on
