| 0:00.0 | This is TBSI and the world. I'm John Bachelor visiting with Simon Constable, my colleague |
| 0:09.8 | he's in the south of France, writing for Wall Street Journal and Barons and other distinguished |
| 0:14.2 | publications, and he's posted a profile of a young man who's gaining much attention because |
| 0:20.4 | of the politics of the moment. President McCrown, after the EU vote, decided to call a snap election. |
| 0:28.0 | That's what it's called back in Britain. |
| 0:30.0 | This is just an election he can call as president. The first round is June 30th |
| 0:34.8 | coming up very quickly as Sunday. The second round is July 7th because there are |

| 2:04.3 | Macron. Now what's interesting here is what's really brought him up on this |
| 2:10.5 | this really fantastic search for the national rally, which is that you've got a very different |
| 2:20.7 | party than what it was when it was formed in the early 1970s by Jean-Marie |
