THE UK HAS VOTED IN ITS SPECIAL
REFERENDUM AND THE MAJORITY OF
VOTERS HAVE DECIDED TO
EXIT THE EU.
PRIOR TO THIS VOTE EVERYONE
SPECULATED THAT STAYING IN THE
EU WOULD WIN BY A SMALL MARGIN,
BUT ALL OF THE SPECULATIONS
WERE PROVEN FALSE.
ABOUT 33 MILLION PEOPLE VOTED,
THE LEAD CAMPAIGN ONE BY 1
MILLION.
AS A RESULT, DAVID CAMERON HAS
DECIDED TO STEP DOWN.
WE HAVE A VIDEO OF HIM NOT ONLY
ADDRESSING THE VOTE, BUT ALSO
THE REASONS FOR STEPPING DOWN.
I THOUGHT THIS CAMPAIGN IN
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW, WHICH
IS TO SAY DIRECTLY AND
PASSIONATELY WHEN I THINK AND
FEEL HEAD, HEART, AND SOUL.
I HELD NOTHING BACK.
I WAS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR ABOUT MY
BELIEF THAT BRITAIN IS
STRONGER, SAFER, AND BETTER OFF
[VIDEO BUFFERING] TO TAKE IT
IN THIS DIRECTION.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN AS
PRIME MINISTER TO STEADY THE
SHIP OVER THE COMING
WEEKS AND MONTHS.
BUT I DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE
RIGHT FOR ME TO TRY TO BE THE
CAPTAIN THAT STEERS OUR COUNTRY
TO ITS NEXT DESTINATION.
THERE ARE A LOT OF
INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENING
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO STEP
DOWN BY OCTOBER.
BUT HIS SUCCESSOR WON'T BE
CHOSEN BY THE PUBLIC.
HIS PARTY WILL GO THROUGH A
PROCESS TO DECIDE WHO THE
SUCCESSOR IS.
HONESTLY, I DON'T KNOW HOW I
FEEL ABOUT THAT.
ANOTHER THING, THE AGE BREAKDOWN
WORKS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE
WHO VOTED IN FAVOR OF STAYING
VERSUS THOSE [VIDEO BUFFERING]
A 
WHOPPING 60% WANTED TO LEAVE.
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE SEVERE
RAMIFICATIONS ON THE STOCK
MARKET WHICH WE'LL GET TO LATER,
BUT LET'S HAVE A QUICK
DISCUSSION ABOUT CAMERON
STEPPING DOWN.
HE WAS VERY MUCH AGAINST
LEAVING, AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE
VOTED TO LEAVE HE HAS DECIDED HE
IS NOT THE RIGHT LEADER TO
WORK THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
IT IS TROUBLE OF HIS OWN MAKING.
HE CAVED BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE
COULD WIN THIS EASILY.
WHEN HE DIDN'T THERE WAS A LOT
OF TALK FROM POLITICAL ANALYSTS
THAT HE ALREADY HURT HIMSELF
BADLY BECAUSE ONCE THE POLLS
STARTED TO CLOSE A BIT, EVEN IF
THEY WOULD'VE WON BY TWO, OR
THREE POINTS, IT WOULD'VE
WEAKENED HIM TREMENDOUSLY.
HE WOULD'VE BEEN GONE EITHER
WAY.
GOOD LUCK, AND GOODBYE.
YEAH, I THINK EITHER WAY
52 TO 49,
HE PROBABLY WOULD'VE GONE
ANYWAY.
AS WAS THE CASE IN GREAT
BRITAIN, THE LEADER OF THE
PARTY RUNS THE COUNTRY AND THE
PARTY IS THE MAJORITY.
THEY DON'T HAVE LIKE ELECTIONS
LIKE WE DO.
AND OUR ELECTIONS ANYONE CAN
WIN.
I DON'T KNOW BRITISH POLITICS
MEDIA, BUT NOW I KNOW FOR
READING TODAY THAT FOR YEARS IN
GREAT BRITAIN THEY KEPT
APPEALING TO THIS RADICAL
RIGHT-WING STRAIN OF THE PARTY.
YOU APPEAL TO THAT ENOUGH,
EVENTUALLY THEY WILL GET HEARD.
NOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL
DISAFFECTED AND FEEL LIKE THE
SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM
JUST PERFORMED WHAT MY
THREE-YEAR-OLD PERFORMS.
THEY STAMP THEIR FEET AND
THEY COMPLAIN.
THEY GOT SOMETHING THAT THEY
PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT.
NOW THEY'RE GOING TO GET A
BRITISH GOVERNMENT THAT IS
RESPONSIVE TO THE NEEDS OF THE
PEOPLE IS PREPOSTEROUS.
YOU SAW IN THAT VOTING THAT ONE
OF THE BIG THINGS WAS THE
ABILITY TO GO LIVE AND WORK IN
ANY OF THE EUROPEAN MEMBER
STATES.
THAT IS AN OPEN FREE SOCIETY
[VIDEO BUFFERING] WOULDN'T IT BE
GREAT TO HAVE A JOB IN SWEDEN?
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.
YOU HAVE DEPRIVED YOUNG BRITISH
PEOPLE OF THAT CRITICAL
OPPORTUNITY.
ONE OF THE CRITICISMS OF THE
STATE CAMPAIGN WAS THAT THEY
WERE UNABLE TO TACKLE CRITICISMS
OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
PRESERVATION OF CULTURE.
A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH
IMMIGRATION.
THOSE WHO WANTED TO LEAVE AND
DID NOT LIKE THE IMMIGRATION
POLICIES.
A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE
INSTABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST
AND THE NUMBER OF SYRIAN
REFUGEES.
PEOPLE WOULD ASK WHAT ABOUT
PRESERVING OUR CULTURE AND
WHAT WE HAVE GROWN UP AROUND.
THE CRITICISM WAS THAT THOSE WHO
WANTED TO STAY COULDN'T ANSWER
THAT.
BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN I
THINK THAT IS A FAIR CRITICISM.
I THINK THEY COULD HAVE BEEN
BETTER IN TALKING ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY AND OF A
CULTURE EVOLVING AND CHANGING.
I KNOW PEOPLE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE
WITH THAT, BUT WE ARE DEALING
WITH A SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE
EAST THAT THE US TOOK A HUGE
PART IN.
THE TURMOIL HAS A LOT TO DO WITH
WHAT THE UNITED STATES FOREIGN
POLICY IS.
OF COURSE THE UK HAS HAD A
HAND IN THAT AS WELL.
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU
TACKLE THE ISSUE OF
IMMIGRATION AND HOW DO YOU
CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT LEAVING
THE EU IS NOT NECESSARILY GOING
TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN MISLED
INTO THINKING IT'S GOING TO
SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND THEY NO
LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
IMMIGRANTS COMING INTO
THEIR COUNTRY.
CAN
I JUST SAY ABOUT DAVID CAMERON,
IT IS SHOCKING BECAUSE HE
CALLED FOR THIS VOTE, HE THOUGHT
HE WAS GOING TO WIN EASILY.
IT'S ALWAYS SHOCKING TO FIND
THAT A CONSERVATIVE LEADER IS
OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE
ELECTORATE.
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA ñ SO,
WHEN THEY GOT THE FIRST CHANCE
TO VOICE THEIR DISPLEASURE WITH
THAT THEY DID, SO THIS IS A
VERSION OF A TRUMP VOTES.
IT'S ONLY AUSTERITY FOR THE
WORKERS, IT'S NOT AUSTERITY
FOR THE RICH.
WE HAVE HAD ECONOMIES THAT HAVE
BEEN FATTENING UP THE ELITES
WHILE THEIR WORKERS KEEP
STRUGGLING.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY BLAME IMMIGRATION JUST LIKE
THE TRUMPET VOTERS ARE DOING
HERE.
WHY?
BECAUSE THEIR OWN LEADERS ARE
PROVIDING THEM WITH ZERO
ANSWERS AND ZERO RELIEF.
IT PLEASANT TO THE VERY THING
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU FEEL LIKE IF THINGS ARE
SLIPPING AWAY FROM YOU, YOU
DON'T FEEL SECURE, YOU
KNOW WHAT?
IT IS THEIR FAULT.
ABSOLUTELY.
IT PLAYS ON
THE ANGER AND RAGE THEY FEEL.
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE BIG
FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.
OBAMA WAS CRITICIZED FOR NOT
PUTTING ENOUGH MONEY BACK INTO
THE SYSTEM.
INSTEAD WITH THE CONSERVATIVE
LEADERS, THEY HAVE THIS
AUSTERITY PROGRAM WHICH
STRANGLES THE MIDDLE CLASS.
YOU CAN'T RECOVER IN ECONOMY BY
THEN TAKING MONEY OUT OF IT
AND TELLING THESE PEOPLE
WELL, I'M SORRY.
AS BEN SAID, THIS DOG
WHISTLE POLITICS.
NOW IT'S BEYOND DOG WHISTLE.
TO THAT POINT, ENGLAND HAS A
PARTICULAR PROBLEM BECAUSE THE
IMMIGRATION LAW ñ
THE WORK RULES ARE LAX.
THEY MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE FOR
FOREIGN WORKERS TO COME IN AND
WORK.
SINCE 1990,
MANY OF THOSE FOREIGN WORKERS
ARE NOT DIFFERENT COLORED.
MANY OF THOSE FOREIGN WORKERS
ARE POLISH OR BULGARIAN.
I'M NOT DENYING THERE IS RACISM
THERE, BUT TO JUST CALL THE
ANTI-IMMIGRANT TONE RACIST IN
ENGLAND DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT
SOME OF IT IS JUST ñ
MIGHT BE A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT
ABOUT MY JOB IN SOME CASES.
IT'S
THAT WHITE NATIONALIST FEELING.
AGAIN, TODAY WE ARE GOING TO
TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY ñ
TAKE IT BACK FROM WHO?
BRITAIN HAS THE PARLIAMENT, THEY
MAKE THEIR OWN LAWS, SO REALLY
WHAT IS BEING DENIED THEM?
IT IS BASICALLY THE TAX ñ
THEY NEED A SCAPEGOAT TO MAKE
THEM FEEL BETTER.
OF THE PARALLELS JIMMY DREW A
VOTERS SUPPORTING TRUMP
BECAUSE OF THEIR FRUSTRATION AND
ANGER ABOUT OUR ECONOMY AND
WHAT THE VOTERS IN THE UK ARE
EXPERIENCING.
I THINK IT IS A LOT OF ANGER
AND IT IS MISDIRECTED.
WHAT FRUSTRATES ME ABOUT THIS
WHOLE SITUATION IS I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER THOSE WHO VOTED TO
LEAVE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
ECONOMIC RAMIFICATIONS OF
LEAVING THE EU.
IT'S ALREADY LED TO UNCERTAINTY
IN THE MARKETS.
STOCKS HAVE PLUMMETED.
PEOPLE ARE LOSING A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THEIR
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS ALREADY.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY VOTING FOR
SOMETHING THAT IS COUNTER TO
WHAT THEY GENUINELY WANT AND
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.
THEY ARE GOING BACKWARDS.
YOU CAN GO BACKWARDS.
YOU HAVE TO GO FORWARD SMARTLY.
YOU HAVE TO STILL GO FORWARD.
THE EUROPEAN UNION IS THERE AND
YOU HAVE TO WORK INSIDE THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
BUT I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE
THAT IT WAS THE LACK OF
RESPONSIVENESS FROM THE
GOVERNMENTS TO GOVERN THAT LED
TO THIS.
I WOULD SAY A COMBINATION OF
FACTORS OF WHICH THAT IS
DEFINITELY ONE.
THE LABOUR PARTY THAT IN MANY
CASES LIKE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HERE, STOPPED STANDING UP FOR
WORKING ENGLISHMEN IN THE SAME.
THEY DID IT IN A WAY THAT
TRADITIONALLY THEY WERE NOT
SUPPOSED TO.
I
WONDER HOW MUCH THEY ACTUALLY
WATCH AMERICAN TV OVER THERE?
WE WATCH BRITISH POLITICS, AND
THEY HAD TO BE INFLUENCED BY
THE WHOLE TRUMP, MEXICANS ARE
RAPISTS AND MURDERERS.
HERE ARE UPSET BRITISH PEOPLE.
DOING THE SAME THING.
I DON'T THINK THEY EVEN NEED
TO WATCH AMERICAN POLITICS TO
FEEL THE WAY THEY FEEL.
I GET IT.
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR MONGERING AND
NOT JUST IN THE UNITED STATES
BUT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ABOUT
WHAT MUSLIMS ARE DOING, I
THINK THAT FEAR DRIVES PEOPLE TO
VOTE THE WAY THEY DO.
I THINK THAT FEAR DEFINITELY
LEADS TO WHAT'S HAPPENED IN
ADDITION TO THEIR ECONOMIC
FRUSTRATIONS.
BY THE WAY THE LEADER OF THE
LEAVE CAMPAIGN HAS RELEASED A
STATEMENT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET WITH
HIM BECAUSE HE RESIGNS IN
LONDON AND LONDON VOTED
OVERWHELMINGLY TO STAY.
SCOTLAND ALSO VOTED TO STAY.
BUT MANY ARE SPECULATING THAT HE
WILL BE THE NEXT LEADER.
NO IDEA WHETHER OR NOT THAT
WILL BE THE CASE.
HERE IS HIS STATEMENT.
THIS IS BORIS JOHNSON.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE
UNITED KINGDOM WILL BE ANYWAY
LESS UNITED, NOR INDEED ñ
AND TO THOSE THAT MAY BE ANXIOUS
WHETHER AT HOME OR ABROAD, THIS
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE UNITED
KINGDOM WILL BE IN ANYWAY LESS
UNITED NOR INDEED DOESN'T MEAN
THAT IT WILL BE ANY LESS
EUROPEAN.
WE CANNOT TURN OUR BACKS ON
EUROPE.
WE ARE PART OF EUROPE.
OUR CHILDREN AND OUR
GRANDCHILDREN WILL CONTINUE TO
HAVE A WONDERFUL FUTURE AS
EUROPEANS TRAVELING TO THE
CONSTANTS UNDERSTANDING THE
LANGUAGES AND CULTURES THAT
MAKE UP OUR COMMON EUROPEAN
CIVILIZATION.
BUT THERE IS SIMPLY NO
NEED IN THE 21ST
CENTURY TO BE PART OF A FEDERAL
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT BASED IN
BRUSSELS THAT IS IMITATED
NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH.
WE CANNOT TURN OUR
BACKS ON EUROPE.
AND THAT IS THE LEADER OF
THE LEAVE CAMPAIGN.
THE PARALLELS BETWEEN HIM
AND TRUMP ARE AMAZING.
BOTH HAVE DISASTROUS HAIR AND
CONTRADICT THEIR OWN
STATEMENTS IN THE SAME SPEECH.
IT'S AMAZING.
I WAS JUST
SAYING THAT AS HE WAS TALKING.
WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A GUY THAT
DRIVES TO A PRESS CONFERENCE
ON THE BACK OF A MOTORCYCLE.
HE NEEDS A MAKE BRITAIN
GREAT AGAIN HAT.
ALSO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE GET
LESS UNITED ñ YES YOU ARE.
SCOTLAND VOTED TO REMAIN.
NOW THE BIGGEST REASON THEY
STAYED IN THE UK WAS SO THEY
COULD STAY IN THE EUROPEAN
UNION.
NOW WE'VE HEARD FROM THE LEADER
THERE AND SHE IS SAYING WE
NEED TO VOTE AGAIN.
WHAT ARGUMENT ARE THEY GOING TO
MAKE IN LONDON THAT THE UK
SHOULD REMAIN TOGETHER.
I SUSPECT THIS IS NOT ñ
OTHER COUNTRIES I PRESUME
WOULD FOLLOW SUIT.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GREAT
BRITAIN VOTE AGAIN TODAY.
YOU READ A LOT OF QUOTES OF, "I
DIDN'T THINK WE WOULD LEAVE, I
WAS JUST MAD.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE."
IT'S LIKE SAYING I DIDN'T
THINK TRUMP WOULD WIN.
