1. 0:00I think that our involvement in the u.s.
2. 0:06election for the election of a president
3. 0:11who's proved to be so divisive among
4. 0:14voters and polarizing amongst voters put
5. 0:18an incredibly huge target on our back
6. 0:21and that ever since that day although it
7. 0:27was a great success in some in some
8. 0:31terms for the cup for the company and
9. 0:33you know it's business growth it
10. 0:36actually proved to be its undoing
11. 0:38because from that moment onwards there
12. 0:41were actors not least Democrats and the
13. 0:48liberal media particularly who would
14. 0:50just determined to destroy us absolutely
15. 0:53destroy us and we became the target of a
16. 0:56sustained press and media attack now you
17. 0:59couple that with the reporting in the UK
18. 1:03driven largely by Carroll and the
19. 1:05Guardian about our involvement in brexit
20. 1:09and obviously that was proved to be
21. 1:13false reporting at every level but we
22. 1:17were in this country then perceived to
23. 1:19be the architects of that campaign and
24. 1:21we were vilified and hated for that and
25. 1:24you add into the mix an extremely
26. 1:28jealous and resentful employee who's sat
27. 1:31there and stood for three years as his
28. 1:34baby grew and matured and got all the
29. 1:37success and he then saw this opportunity
30. 1:40to go to Carroll and to share with her
31. 1:43every single possible fantastical
32. 1:47allegation that he could come up with
33. 1:49and she gave him the mouthpiece to be
34. 1:52able to put all of this into print so
35. 1:55that it went viral on a global scale and
36. 2:02you have the makings of a perfect storm
37. 2:05you have people who the public want to
38. 2:07hate because of our association with
39. 2:09Trump and
40. 2:10false association with brexit you have
41. 2:14somebody who's deeply motivated to
42. 2:17destroy us who's feeding snippets of
43. 2:20information half-baked allegations to a
44. 2:23media organization that's incredibly
45. 2:25influential and powerful and obviously
46. 2:28the Guardian and particularly Carol
47. 2:30thought that if by attacking Cambridge
48. 2:33analytic and proving that we had been
49. 2:36involved in the referendum and that our
50. 2:39involvement had somehow been illegal
51. 2:41that they might be able to push for a
52. 2:43second referendum which is exactly what
53. 2:45they tried to do together yesterday that
54. 2:47they might be able to change the course
55. 2:49of history and I genuinely
56. 2:51wholeheartedly believe that that is what
57. 2:53has happened I believe that people in
58. 2:56America can't accept that love is their
59. 2:58president and they want to blame someone
60. 3:00for that and people in England are
61. 3:02looking led by Carole are looking to to
62. 3:05use us as a way to overturn the outcome
63. 3:08of this referendum that they don't agree
64. 3:09with
