DAVID: PRIME MINISTER THERESA
MAY DEPARTS WITHOUT A DEAL ON
BREXIT.
BUT NIGEL FARAGE SAYS HE HAS HAD
ENOUGH OF STALLING AND HE'LL
HAVE TRADE TALKS WITH PRESIDENT
TRUMP AND THE UNITED STATES.
A TRADE DEAL IS CRITICAL FOR THE
U.K.'S ECONOMY ONCE IT LEAVES
THE HE EUROPEAN UNION.
NIGEL, I HAVE GOT TO TALK ABOUT
THIS SO-CALLED COMEDIAN YOU HAVE
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
SHE IS KIND OF AN OFFSHOOT KATHY
GRIFFIN HOLDING THAT HEAD OF
DONALD TRUMP DRIPPING IN BLOOD.
YOU WERE ATTACKED WITH A
MILKSHAKE.
SHE SAID WHY BOTHER WITH A
MILKSHAKE WHEN YOU COULD GET
SOME BATTERY ACID?
>> SHE DEFINITELY HATES SOME
PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY THOSE
COMING THE FORE.
SHE MEANT ME BECAUSE I JUST WON
THE BREXIT PARTY.
TO SUGGEST PEOPLE CAN THROW
BATTERY ACID ON ME.
I CAN TAKE A JOKE AND I DON'T
MIND BEING LAMB POND.
BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENT BETWEEN
HUMOR AND INCITEMENT TO
VIOLENCE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF I SAID THE
SAME THING ABOUT A FIGURE ON THE
LEFT.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR
HATE SPEECH IN 10 MINUTES.
BUT THE DOUBLE STANDARD SHEER,
IT TOOK PLACE ON THE BBC WHICH
IS FUND BY THE BRITISH TAXPAYER.
DAVID: YOU PAID FOR HER
COMMENTS.
>> I CAN TAKE A JOKE.
BUT THIS IS WAY BEYOND A JOKE
AND I THINK HER COMMENTS ARE
DISGUSTING.
DAVID: PERHAPS ONE OF THE
REASONS YOU ARE GETTING THESE
HATEFUL COMMENTS IS BECAUSE YOU
ARE SO SUCCESSFUL.
I CAN'T THINK ONE BRAND-NEW
PARTY THAT RECEIVED A 32% SHARE
OF A EUROPEAN VOTE.
YOU HAVE A BREXIT PARTY THAT'S
BRAND-NEW.
DOES THIS GIVE YOU A SEAT AT THE
TABLE TO DISCUSS HOW BREXIT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN?
>> WE GOT 32% AND ALL THE OTHER
PARTIES ARE WAY BELOW 20%.
WE DID IT IN SIX WEEKS.
FROM THE FOUNDING OF THE PARTY
WHICH SHOWS YOU JUST HOW UNHAPPY
THE BRITISH PUBLIC ARE.
I SAID THROUGH THE CAMPAIGN, IF
WE WIN THESE ELECTIONS WE SHOULD
BE PART OF THE NEGOTIATING TEAM.
UNLIKE OUR CONSERVATIVE AND
LABOR PARTIES WHICH ARE FULL OF
COLLEGE KIDS WHO GO STRAIGHT
INTO POLITICS AND THEY HAVE NO
EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD.
I GOT PEOPLE ELECTED TO THE
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT WHO HAVE
BEEN BUSINESSMEN AND DEAL MAKERS
AND ENTREPRENEURS.
MY INTENTION IS TO PUT TOGETHER
A TEAM TO HELP WITH THE
NEGOTIATIONS.
I WAS STRUCK LAST WEEK DURING
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INCREDIBLY
SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO LONDON.
AMERICA HAS DONE A LOT OF
HOMEWORK GETTING THIS TRADE DEAL
READY.
WHEN I ASK THE QUESTION, HOW
PREPARED ARE THE BRITISH FOR
THIS, THE ANSWER IS, SIMPLY NOT.
WHAT I WILL DO IS PUT TOGETHER A
DELEGATION OF ENTREPRENEURS,
BRITISH BUSINESSES.
COME TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
MEET BOB LIGHTHIZER AND LET'S
TRY AND MOVE THIS THING ON AND
REACH A CONCLUSION.
DAVID: HAVE YOU TALKED TO BOB
LIGHTHIZER OR MENTIONED THIS TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE WAS IN
LONDON?
>> I DID TALK TO THE PRESIDENT
ABOUT THIS TRADE DEAL AND WOODY
JOHNSON YOUR AMBASSADOR HERE IN
LONDON.
MY UP TENSION IS BEFORE THE
SUMMER IS OUT, TO GET A TEAM OF
PEOPLE ACROSS TO D.C., AND LET'S
GET TALKING.
DAVID: THE WORD FROM THE UNITED
STATES WAS THEY WOULD ACCEPT YOU
EVEN THOUGH YOU HADN'T BEEN
OFFICIALLY APPOINTED AS A TRADE
REP FOR THE U.K.?
>> I GOT SOME WARM NOISES AND I
HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE WE
CAN HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS.
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS MIRED
IN POLITICAL CRISIS.
EVERYONE SAID THERE ARE NO
ALTERNATIVES.
I BELIEVE WE CAN CREATE A GOOD
POSITIVE ALTERNATIVE THAT SAYS
THE U.K. AND AMERICA HAVE A
GREAT FUTURE TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE CAN DO A WHOLE LOT MORE
BUSINESS TOGETHER.
AND THE SOONER WE START TALKING
ABOUT THIS THE MORE THE EUROPEAN
UNION WILL REALIZE WE DO HAVE
ALTERNATIVES TO BEING GOVERNED
BY THOSE BUREAUCRATS.
DAVID: THE FRENCH THINK YOU
STILL OWE THEM $40 BILLION TO
WHICH YOU SAY WHAT?
>> I SAY NO WE DON'T.
MRS. MAY, OUR OUTGOING PRIME
MINISTER NEGOTIATED A BAD DEAL
THAT WOULD HAVE LEFT US IN
MEMBERSHIP FOR A COUPLE YEARS.
WHAT THE FRENCH WANT ARE TWO
MORE YEARS MEMBERSHIP FEES.
BRITISH LAW STATES WE SHOULD
LEAVE ON THE 31st OF OCTOBER.
