One of the people that's being revisited in light of the revisiting of this story more generally is Keir Starmer, the current prime minister who was the head of the Agency for Criminal Prosecutions between 2008 and 2013 when many of these crimes were committed. How culpable is Keir Starmer here? Is he a villain of the story?

Elon is really seizing on the Keir Starmer of it all. He's saying things like prison for Starmer, Starmer's complicit in the crimes. All of this has bubbled up. There was a Bloomberg report out really recently that said that several senior officials in the U.K.

have urged Trump to distance himself from Musk over this whole thing, basically saying that his statements about the prime minister and the U.K. in general—he's saying that civil war in the U.K. is inevitable— are inflammatory and not how an ally speaks about another ally. I'm curious how this is being received by people in the UK.

But then are the Conservatives also compromised? Because as you just pointed out, for the past 15 years, the UK has been run by the Tories. Right. It's not like Jeremy Corbyn was running the party during this scandal. It was David Cameron and Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, people who were elected. They are compromised, but they've been driven out of office. Yes, of course. No, but no.

But my point is, from an American perspective, it would seem like forgetting the morality. Right. And what's right and what's wrong. It would seem strategic for the conservative party who is generally more conservative. you know, conservative about things like immigration, generally more less fearful about criticizing Islam, to talk about this a lot.

And yet they also did nothing or seem to do almost nothing. Explain that dynamic, because from an American perspective, that just seems really strange.

The Italian mob in the U.S. was an embarrassment to Italian-Americans. And it was basically Italian-Americans that wound up destroying it or at least turning it into a shadow of what it once was. You know, when he was U.S. attorney in New York, Rudy Giuliani, now he's, you know, fallen into disarray.
