| 0:00.0 | Britain's got another new Prime Minister. It's third in the last couple months. |
| 0:05.1 | And he is Rishi Sunik. This is a former Goldman Sachs banker, a former hedge fund manager, |
| 0:11.0 | head of the Conservative Party, former chancellor. And here's the headline just out of October 25th. |
| 0:16.5 | So this is very recent. He's the most recent one. Rishi Sunik officially becomes Prime Minister and forms cabinet. |
| 0:23.2 | And you know, our viewers may have remembered we did a story on him when he was chancellor of the UK |
| 0:29.0 | in August of this year. Take a look just for a flashback. Okay. |
| 0:32.8 | Senior member of parliament, Rishi Sunik. He is actually in the running to replace Boris Johnson. |

| 1:19.9 | about the trade offs as soon ministers were briefed by number 10 on how to handle questions |
| 1:24.8 | about the side effects of lockdown. The script was not to ever acknowledge them. The script was, |
| 1:30.0 | oh, there's no trade off because doing this for our health is good for our economy. |
| 1:37.1 | Wow. I mean, and you know, he seems like a really good guy there, at least in that moment, |
| 1:41.0 | he's on our side. Yeah. And so doing some research here, we're doing a little bit of a dive into |
