house. you know, down the hall and upstairs from this office is the part of the white house where the president and his family live. i'm never forget that i live in a house owned by all the american people and that i have been given that trust. this house is only on loan to its tenants. we are temporary occupants linked to a continuity of president. it's both very, very public house and a wonderful private home for our president. this is the people's house, which means that we want to make sure that we leave this place and as extraordinary a condition as we found it. this is the story of a house located at the center of a nation's identity and the focal point of international events whose occupants have a chance to leave their own legacy on the official residence of the president and the symbolic home of the american people. it is a place alive with activity and quiet at times when you feel the presence of the past. it is a public museum with a collection that helps tell the story of those w

and the white house. something that will be interesting to watch where the intersection comes with the doge, the committee, the recommendation to cut spending, eliminate bureaucracy. i found it interesting that mike johnson mentioned in his speech, the way americans thrive, the process thrives is if bureaucracy is killed, done away with. he is signaling that he will not be looking to resist common sense solutions and maybe it goes beyond common sense. we would consider a lot of the recommendation that we will see out of the committee of doge will seem pretty radical. but if you start out radical, the compromise hopefully is something that people can be happy with. christian: plenty more discuss around this about this afternoon. around the world and across the u.k., you are watching bbc news. ♪ christian: the fact that he took a little longer to return mike johnson as speaker this afternoon will in the end be nothing but a blip in history. they are much more focused on whether republicans deliver. that is
