Literally a few hours ago this morning, we all woke up, my phone blowing up, had a call yesterday with Rupert Lowe from UK, lengthy call. I spoke with Liz Truss yesterday, trying to see what is going on in UK right now. Liz Truss was the previous Prime Minister. And then this morning, Keir Starmer resigns.
Seventh Prime Minister, UK, has had in the last 10 years. And here's what he had to say. Apparently, all the way at the end, I didn't watch the entire speech, he got choked up and started crying. Go ahead and play the clip.

**Keir Starmer** (0:59)
My party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question. And I accept that answer with good grace.
Every decision I have taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to His Majesty the King this morning to inform him of my decision. I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the summer recess.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:51)
Okay, so, and by the way, I don't know if you have at the end Humberto, when he starts crying, if you want to find that clip, is this it?
Is that it? Go for it.

**Keir Starmer** (2:00)
When I leave the biggest job in the country, I shall spend more time on the most important job. Being the best husband I can, to my fantastic wife, Fig, who's been a rock by my side through good times and bad.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:16)
Look, whether you like him or not.

**Keir Starmer** (2:18)
And being the best dad I can, to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy.

You gotta give him praise for him resigning. A lot of people are happy. Let me tell you a little bit about Keir Starmer so you guys know what happened here. By the way, if UK, can you ask the question, if UK was a company, where would it rank in the Fortune 500? If UK, go on ChadGBT and ask the question, if the UK were a country, where would it rank in Fortune 500? And can you tell me ever a time where a Fortune 500 company had seven CEOs in a span of 10 years? Okay, UK would rank as the sixth largest company in Fortune 500 So in other words, it would be a Fortune 10 company.
And if it were a Fortune 10 company, having replaced seven prime ministers in the last 10 years, Cameron May, Johnson Truss, Sunek, Starmer, and assuming you're have the next person that's coming up here, that'd be seven in 10 years. In the history of business, the only other company that went through this before acquisition was Yahoo! between 2007 and 2017, and they had seven CEOs during that 10 year period. Aside from that, no one's ever had seven CEOs in 10 years. Hewlett-Packard had five, GE had three. You don't hear stories like this. How the hell does a country not be able to figure this out and realize the top three issues that the country has is what? Immigration, crime economy. Figure that part out, people will be happy. Little bit to know about Keir Starmer before time I come to you.
Born in 1962, he was part of the Fabian Democratic Socialist Party in the past, and the Fabian Party was George Bernard Shaw. These guys were openly socialist. They agreed with a lot of things that Karl Marx talked about. So he joined the labor young socialists at school, left-wing activism from the late 70s, contributed to socialist lawyer and socialist alternative publications, wrote in a Marx Influence Register, he said Karl Marx was of course right on the limits of abstract rights. And then he continues, you know, openly, this organization, the Fabian, openly embrace eugenics. They openly embrace eugenics. And when you go a little bit deeper into the story, do you know what his actual job was prior to becoming the Prime Minister?
