host: let's talk to ned who is calling from ketchum, idaho. good morning. caller: i was just wondering if you could comment on our current relationship with britain, where biden throughout the -- the statute they gave us. we are trying to pivot to our new alliance with australia, new zealand, and canada. biden is still trying to keep us in this nato thing. what do you think? guest: as always, it seems with every new administration and every new leader here in britain or the united states, there is a new chapter written about the special relationship. as far as the bust in the oval office, the statue that was on loan from the british embassy after 9/11 has gone back and forth. i happen to know there is a bust of winston churchill and the white house in the private residence. it has been there since 1965. there is no threat that just because a statute is moved around in the white house that the special relationship will fail. that is one thing i know for certain. i also know that we heard from the ambassador to the united states yesterday during our commemora
