AND HAM FOR YEARS.
ON "THE DAILY BRIEFING."
>> Harris: HERE ARE SOME
BREXIT.
BRITISH PREMENSTRUAL
BORIS JOHNSON'S BROTHER HAS
RESIGNED FROM PARLIAMENT.
IT HAPPENED JUST ONE DAY AFTER
LAWMAKERS REJECTED THE LEADER'S
BID TO HOLD A SNAP AMY KELLOGG
IS REPORTING FOR US FROM LONDON.
AMY?
>> HI, HERE IS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK UP THIS
MORNING STILL REELING FROM ALL
THE CHAOS AND MUDSLINGING OF THE
LAST 48 HOURS, WONDERING WHO IS
GOING TO COME OUT ON TOP, WHO
WILL GET THE LAST LAUGH, AND
FRANKLY, HOW MUCH LONGER BRITS
WILL ENDURE ALL THIS
UNCERTAINTY.
THEN, AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE
WAS ANOTHER BIT OF DRAMA THIS
MORNING WHEN BORIS JOHNSON'S
BROTHER, JOE, RESIGNED FROM HIS
JOB AS AN MP AND A MINISTER IN
JOHNSON'S GOVERNMENT.
JOE JOHNSON TWEETED, "IN RECENT
WEEKS I'VE BEEN TORN BETWEEN
FAMILY LOYALTY AND THE NATIONAL
INTEREST.
IT IS AN UNRESOLVABLE TENSION."
THOUGH JOHNSON'S CALL FOR A
GENERAL ELECTION IN OCTOBER GOT
SHOT DOWN YESTERDAY, HE MADE
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING SHE WOULD
LOOK LIKE A CAMPAIGN STOP TODAY.
THE SUBJECT, FIGHTING CRIME AND
BETTER POLICING.
BASICALLY, IF YOUR OWN BROTHER
DOESN'T EVEN HAVE FAITH IN YOU,
WHY SHOULD THE PUBLIC?
HE ADMITTED THAT BREXIT DIVIDES
FAMILIES.
THERE WAS PROBABLY SOME RELIEF
THOUGH, IN THE VISIT
BORIS JOHNSON AT TODAY FROM
VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE, WHO
REITERATED THE
ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT FOR
BREXIT.
HE CARRIED A MESSAGE FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT THE U.S. IS
READY TO IMMEDIATELY NEGOTIATE A
PER FREE-TRADE DEAL WITH WITH
THE U.K.
>> WE WILL DRIVE THAT FREE TRADE
AGREEMENT FORWARD, OF COURSE.
THE U.S. ECONOMY IS A WONDERFUL,
MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY.
IS IT STILL THE CASE, THAT THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES,
DON'T EAT ANY BRITISH LAMB OR
BEEF.
I GUESS.
FROM SCOTLAND.
>> FOR THE UNINITIATED, HAGGIS
IS MADE FROM SHEEP OFFAL.
THE MOST IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT
HAND TODAY, IT'S FAR FROM
RESOLVE, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE
COMING MONTHS, I WOULD SAY.
AND THEN WITH BREXIT.
BUT FOR MR. JOHNSON HAS SAID
THAT HE WANTS TO PUT ANOTHER
VOTE FROM THE HOUSE ON MONDAY
ASKING YET AGAIN IF HE CAN GO
AHEAD AND HOLD A GENERAL
ELECTION NEXT MONTH BECAUSE HE
FEELS HE CAN'T GO ON THE SWING
WITH HIS HANDS TIED BY THE
PARLIAMENT AS THEY ARE NOW IN
THIS APPROACH TO BREXIT.
HARRIS?
>> Harris: EVEN THE PRESIDENT
WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM YESTERDAY
