i always will. but we're getting them out by the thousands. but it's a big, dangerous job. and they're able in some cases to come back in or new groups come in. also from the gangs. thank you. >> mr. president, the nato -- >> i think we helped sear yo by withdrawing from the iran deal, which was a terrible deal for the united states, i think for the world. i think hopefully syria will start to stabilize. you can see what's happening. it's a horror show. i have great respect for syria and the people of syria. these are great people. i these are great people. it was a great culture before it was so horribly blown apart. a place where people would go, had tremendous professional people, as you know, doctors,

lawyers. friends of mine from the middle east that say we used to go to syria. the place to go. look what happened. it's so sad. but i'd like to see syria come back. we have a long way to help like with respect to the iran deal. you'll see what i mean by that over time. a lot of things will happen. >> [question inaudible] >> well, i don't know, i want to have peace in the world. that's what i want. more so than the nobel peace prize or any other prize. i'd like to see peace. ideally in the middle east, but in the entire world. we have a chance of doing it. north korea will be very important. it's a tremendous part of the world. it has tremendous potential. it has tremendous potential for

its leader and its people. we'll see how it works out. right now we're dealing with them. as i said, we're dealing as though nothing happened. they're dealing with us, we're dealing with them. they're working out times and meeting places and everything. in the meantime, if i read your various media, i find that maybe it's not going to take place. if it doesn't take place, that's fine. if it does, i think some tremendous things can happen. we'll see what happens. >> [question inaudible] >> it's a great thing the u.s. is out of the iran deal. it was a ridiculous deal for iran and the world. >> [question inaudible] >> i can reverse that. look, the european union has been terrible to the united states on trade. they've been terrible to our workers. the european union last year, we

had a trade deficit of $151 billion. i know jean-claude very well and i know donald very well. but they're very tough. we never had anybody negotiating for us. the european union outside of china and a couple others treats on trade as badly as you can be treated. they have trade barriers. our farmers are not allowed to to sell their product to the european union. it's hard for us to sell our cars into the european union. but the european union has its mercedes and bmws and cars pouring into the united states with no barriers. they pay a tiny tax. the european union charges a massive tax. they don't want the cars or the product. so we lost $151 billion last year dealing with the european union. so they can call me all sorts of names and if i were them, i'd call me names also.

it's not going to happen any longer. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> that's a thing of note. the european union has been terrible to the united states on trade. $151 billion. president trump with the head of the -- speaking in the cabinet room with the secretary general of nato on topics with iran, north korea and comments about gang members. you probably heard some of that. we'll get into what that means in just a moment. first, welcome to a thursday in windsor, don't you know. the sun is about to set over windsor castle. two days before the wedding of the year. prince harry and actress meghan markle of the u.s.a. scheduled to marry this saturday with live coverage here on fox news channel. this is a live look at downtown

windsor. the union jack in full display. just after 8:00 p.m. here. so they're winding things down. high street packed with pubs and restaurants and the yanks that are here by the hundreds and thousands enjoying the sites around town. lots of excitement ahead of the big day. the town has come out in droves. not just here in england, some 79 broadcasters from around the world are covering this wedding live. more than 5,000 media staffers are in this little town right now. earlier today, some got a glimpse of a royal rehearsal. hear about this? they rehearsed the movements, the british troops and the cavalry and the carriage that will carry the couple practicing their routine. if you like pomp and pagentry, 6:00 a.m. eastern time, 3:00 a.m. on the west coast object saturday morning. cameras caught a brief look at prince harry and meghan markle themselves as they passed

through the gate to windsor castle. some americans were there. at one point he had his arm around her. we slowed down the video to give you a look. later this hour, we'll look at how some folks here are preparing and the bride herself with an announcement about her father. all of that, including a fox first. that's windsor castle. the union jack was up. that means the queen is here in residence. a fox first. if you're a long-time viewer here, hater, lover, i've been longer here like 22 years and there's a fox news first happening at our set here high in the air over the highway in windsor. first time this has ever happened in the fox news history of fox news remote dwellings. this has never happened. it's a fox news first but you'll have to wait. that's a tease. the first of the news today is

this. president trump just contradicted his own national security adviser about getting north korea to give up its nukes. john bolton with a beat-down of sorts. ncaa has threatened to cancel the summit between the president and kim jong-un. one reason the north koreans gave was a comment by john bolton himself that the united states would use what he called the libya model with north korea. the former libyan dictator, moammar qaddafi gave up his nuclear program. he ended up out of power and then he was dead. the president just talked about this. john roberts on fox's top story live on the north lawn. hi, john. >> good afternoon. just rearranging some things based on what you said. we went in to see the president and the secretary general in the oval office and the cabinet room. he allowed me to ask more questions than i've ever asked

in one time since he's become president in the oval office. we learned a little bit more about where things stand on north korea and what the president's thinking is. john bolton back on the 29th of april said he saw the libyan model as a model for north korean denuclearization. what they did is dismantled their nuclear program, packed it up in shipping containers and flew it to the national laboratory in oak ridge, tennessee. eight years after that, the united states wanted to turn on moammar qaddafi and kicked him out of power. the president in the oval office today suggested that his model for disarmorment of north korea would be much different than

libya and he would give security guarantees and political guarantees to the regime of kim jong-un. listen here. >> i'm not going to talk about that. we're going to say that he will very adequate protection. we'll see how it turns out. i think this. the best thing he could ever do is to make a deal. i have a feeling, however, that for various reasons, maybe including trade, because they have never had this problem before, china has never had this problem with us, it could very well be that he's influencing kim jong-un. we'll see what happens. meaning the president of china, president xi could be influencing kim jong-un. we'll see. >> we'll see. the president saying there that he would give assurances and another place where he said that, shep that he would give assurances to kim jong-un that he's not going to suffer the same fate that moammar qaddafi did. the question to my president, he

said i'm not going to talk about that. a possible reduction of u.s. troop levels in south korea be on the table. he said i'm not going to talk about that. kim jong-un will have adequate protection. so we don't know how far down that road he's going to go in terms of security guarantees. sounds like this situation will be different than it was in libya between 2003 and 2011. as to the summit itself, the president seemed to suggest that despite the rhetoric that we've heard out of pyongyang in recent days against cancelling the summit with south korean leaders, maybe the meeting with president trump will be off, the president seemed optimistic that things are still proceeding at pace. listen to what he said. >> we'll see what happens. if the meeting happens, it happens. if it doesn't, we go on to the next step. i can only say our people are literally dealing with them right now in terms of making a rangements for the meeting. >> so they're making arrangements for the meeting, shep. the president said they're

picking the places in singapore, the rooms, who will be in the delegation. so it seems despite what we're hearing from north korea, things are still on track for the moment. shep? >> john roberts, live on the north lawn. let's turn to david lawlor for axios. sounds like another strikedown. john bolton says we're looking at a libya model. the president said no, we're not. >> he said the libya model trump referred to was the invasion that toppled libya. that the talk if they don't work. he said that bolton was incorrect when he referred to a libya model for at least of the nuclear program. >> do we have an idea whether the north koreans are playing us on this summit, whether they're jockeying for better position at this point, whether they're actually not interested in having a summit or what this means yet? >> i talked to a south korean

official about that yesterday. they said this might be new for you guys, but they do this to us all the times in cancelling meetings, shifting things. that's part of their playbook here. kim jong-un has a lot of incentives to go ahead with the meeting and not very many to pull out of it. he would be in the same situation previously a standoff with the u.s. he's earned a lot of goodwill with this publicity tour he's been on. so my instinct to say that the talks will go ahead. certainly this was a curveball that the white house wasn't expecting. >> are the talks going ahead with the south koreans or indefinite postponement of those? >> those talks have been postponed. i haven't heard whether the communications are back on planning for a future summit. they were completely caught off guard, seoul was, by the late cancellation. early in the morning they were supposed to meet.

north korea cancelled that meeting. in terms of whether they will get back at the same table, we could headed in the same direction. kim jong-un seems to have a lot of cards. >> he certainly did. david lawler, thank you very much. we're tracking a major development in the russia investigation. one of the president's lawyers tells fox news now that robert mueller says he will not indict president trump. oh, really? that does not mean the president is off the hook. we'll go live to the white house as the special counsel's investigation enters its second year. the news continues live from windsor, england. as i mentioned a little while earlier, we have a fox news first. first time in my 22 years with this company, something has happened here at this remote location from which we broadcast at eight hours and 13 minutes into the evening. a traffic jam in tiny windsor this night.

stay with us. favorite social media comment of the day. shep has left the country! quick, build the wall. at ally, we offer low rates on home loans. but if that's not enough, we offer our price match guarantee too. and if that's not enough... we should move. our home team will help you every step of the way. still not enough? it's smaller than i'd like. we'll help you finance your dream home. it's perfect. oh, was this built on an ancient burial ground? okay... then we'll have her cleanse your house of evil spirits. we'll do anything, (spiritual chatter) seriously anything to help you get your home. ally. do it right. to help you get your home. this this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage,

and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira. what's your body of proof?

we just switched to geico and got more. more? they've been saving folks money for over 75 years. a company you can trust. geico even helped us with homeowners insurance. more sounds great. gotta love more... right, honey? yeah! geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. >> shepard: today marks a year since robert mueller took over the russia investigation. president trump's lawyer, rudy guliani tells fox news that the special counsel mueller has said he will not indict the

president. >> it's about impeachment. impeachment has to come before indictment. that's a law, not just in the united states, that's the law that governs for more heads of state in the world. >> shepard: not exactly settled law. that would be a supreme court matter what he said, impeachment has to come before indictment. analysts say if mueller does believe president trump committed a crime, he could write a report that congress could use for a possible impeachment trial and all this could go to the supreme court. let's go to caroline pelosi. a federal and white collar crime. is that settled law? it was my understanding that contrary to what rudy guliani said, this could be a matter for the supreme court. >> you're right in one sense but this issue has not been decided by the supreme court. the issue whether a sitting president can be indicted, it's nowhere in the constitution.

it's not in any federal laws. there's two office of legal counsel memorandum. the first written in 1973 in the midst of the nixon impeachment and then with the clinton impeachment. what they say, due to the separation of powers, the department of justice feels as though a sitting president can't be indicted while in office. that's not to say that criminal charges couldn't be brought after he leaves the office. >> shepard: you wonder, is the idea to get the ordinary ty into the ether, the collective that there's no indictment, here's the rules? is that sort of a way of molding the narrative? i'm trying to figure out what the motivation is. >> i think so. an interesting extrapolation that we've seen, because mueller and his team have relayed the message that they're going to follow the department of justice guidelines saying a president can't be indicted, they're there

for extrapolating that he cannot subpoena him to testify in front of the grand jury. that is not the case. certainly -- if you ask any legal scholar about that issue, that hasn't been taken to the supreme court either. the question of whether or not a sitting question can be subpoenaed for testimony. of course, we have the nixon precedent but that referred to tapes. documents and tapes. by all accounts, the supreme court said a sitting president is not above the law and seems that they would follow suit when your talking about testimony. it's true that that specific instance hasn't been tested. we saw in the clinton case, he voluntarily testified before the grand jury. ken star did issue a subpoena but it was retracted. >> shepard: there's new reporting tonight on michael cohen, the president's fixer and one-time lawyer. you've said more than once on this program, caroline, that it's the work of the southern

district of new york rather than the work of robert mueller that may be more concerning. sounds like they're agreeing in the white house. >> yeah. the one thing -- this is the one-year anniversary of the special counsel's appointment. the one thing, the biggest development in this case to date is this referral by special counsel robert mueller to the southern district of new york. that prosecution is moving forward. there's too much to even mention what's going on, even today in that case. by all accounts, the issue of cohen flipping and providing information on trump, on trump campaign officials potentially, is a big deal. >> thanks, caroline. good to see you. there's word that reports of suspicious financial dealings by president trump's personal attorney are missing all of a sudden from a government database. what happened to that? well, that's why somebody went

public with michael cohen's bank records. the source said the missing files cover much bigger transactions than the one we've seen. where did the documents go? that's coming up.

with the government to call attention to possible criminal activity. the new yorker reports the source is a career law enforcement official that said, and i quote "i have never seen something pulled off the system." we're still waiting for a response from the treasury department, even now. just last week, the lawyer for the adult film star, stormy daniels, released information from a separate report related to michael cohen. cohen has admitted that he paid the porn star $130,000 in hush money to keep her quiet about what she says was a one-night stand with the president before he was the president, which the president denies. the report that he released revealed that cohen received hundreds of thousands from a firm with ties to a russian billionaire. michael cohen said the report is not completely accurate. trace gallagher with more live on this. trace? >> shep, the way it worked is, when michael cohen set up his

company, the bank account was opened with first republic bank. the past 18 months, three suspicious reports involving cohen's company. sars are not indications of criminal activity. they notify the feds of big transactions. when the whistle-blower leaked one of the documents, that's how we found out that at&t and the drug company novartis were paying michael cohen for information on how the new white house would operate. the two missing sars detail $3 million in other transactions, and now a lot of people would like to know who made those payments and if the money made its way to michael cohen's personal bank account. oregon senator, ride widen wants treasury to hand over the missing sars. even though they're missing from the treasury database, first republic bank would still likely

have the companies and as you imagine, stormy daniels company wants the documents to be made public. shep? >> shepard: the experts are telling us it's highly unusual for this type of a document to go missing. >> very unusual. the database is maintained by the government. the new yorker was told that he had never seen something pulled off the system, a former prosecutor that spent years working with defensive data systems said she didn't know of any mechanism for restricting access to suspicious activity reports. but she says that it is possible that data may have restricted access because of the highly sensitive nature of a potential investigation. it may be that someone reached out to ask to limit disclosure of certain sars related to an investigation, whether it was the special counsel, of course meaning robert mueller, or the southern district of new york, which we know is investigating

michael cohen. we should note that more information should be forthcoming when the treasury department responds to this. shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher with a follow up. there's breaking news out of hawaii. have you seen this? the warnings of a massive eruption were not unfounded. because today it has happened. mounts kilauea has blown its top and send ash more than five miles in the sky. we're there live next as the news continues from windsor in england. lots of traffic in this sleepy little town today. of course, the queen lives here. there's that. but i don't know how the locals feel about it. we'll all be gone by sunday and life returns to normal. right now, waiting for a royal wedding. prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them.

how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges.

>> i'm lea gabrielle with a fox report. a student's mom said students beat him up and stole from him. he was set to graduate sunday. feds arrested a man that died in california. the fbi accused him of having an unregistered destructive device. cops say the blast was not an accident. and a woman from connecticut has now successfully climbed mount everest more than any other woman. she broke her own record when she reached the summit for the ninth time. most people pay thousands to climb everest. she gets paid to climb other people's gear. she says she will return to her job at whole foods. back to shep after this.

liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. >> shepard: there is breaking news now on fox news channel. a live look at the senate floor

where the vote is happening at this moment on president trump's nominee for the director of the cia, gina haspel. we expect the results in moments. if confirmed, she will be the first woman to lead the central intelligence agency. the president has called her exceptionally qualified but she's had to answer many questions about her involvement in the cia's interrogation program, the torture program at black sites around the world. after the attacks of 9-11, she ran one of those sites in thailand where the u.s. tortured terror suspects. water boarded them. haspel told senators that she believes torture does not work and she would not restart the interrogation program. our chief congressional correspondent, mike emanuel, live on capitol hill. mike? >> good afternoon. we expect the final vote in minutes. the first procedural vote was

54-44. you can expect the final vote to be somewhere in that neighborhood. republicans supporting her nomination to be the cia director says much of the opposition because of who nominated her, president trump. >> there's a number of democrats now that have decided it's not in the nation's best interest to oppose president trump's nominees because they happen to be president trump's nominees. >> some of the decision was related to enhanced interrogation techniques. a key conservative said it's not fair to reject her for that reason. >> i'm amazed these democrats can't confirm mrs. haspel who is a mid legal, career employee when the program was active. yet they voted in 2013 to confirm john brennan who was the number 4 ranking cia official at that time. >> those in support say after 33

years al the agency, haspel is arguably the most qualified nominee to head the cia, shep. >> shepard: mike, what more have we heard from critics that say they just can't support gina haspel? >> some have suggested that if she's asked to do something improper, she won't have the strength to say no to doing something wrong. >> what about the next immorale accident this might ask her to commit? should we trust she will have the moral compass to say no? from what we've seen, i do not. >> haspel tried to win over some critics by saying she regretted the cia using those enhanced interrogation techniques, yet some are still not buying it. >> she offered up the classic washington almost nonapology. she's not sorry for what the agency did.

she's just not happy with how it was perceived. >> about two minutes left on the voting clock with five democrats supporting gina haspel. she should be confirmed in minutes, shep. >> shepard: mike emanuel live at the rotunda. we've been watching breaking news in the early afternoon, east coast time, kilauea has blown in hawaii. erupting again and shooting ash 30,000 feet into the air. it happened just after 4:00 a.m. local time today. ash started raining down on the town nearby. look at this cloud of smoke that we've gotten. it's rainy, so it's hard to get a very clear view. you can see it there. it's enormous. this is from a web cam near the volcano. a u.s. geological survey official said the eruption probably lasted a few minutes. some folks said they didn't hear it. the volcano has caused about 20

cracks or fissures to open up. lava and toxic gas are coming from the cracks forcing people to leave their homes. jeff paul is live on the big island. hi, jeff. >> hi, shep. yeah, it's coming down good. that's why you can't see a lot of the plumes. i want to show you what's going on here. this is the hawaii national guard. that i were further down the street. the toxic gas levels grew to such a high level that they had to evacuate. so did we. so right now they're here at the fire department where every 1 is standing by, monitoring the levels out here, waiting around to see if they need to respond to what is happening. i'll show you what the they're using, this is a meter that if it hits the 2.0 mark, parts per million, this will go off. there will be an alarm sound. it gives people a head start. that happened a little further down. when that happens what you can

do is throw a respirator on and drive away and get to safety. they're continuing to monitor those gas levels. so far it's cancelled school in the area down here. further up by the summit, that's where the concerns are about all that ash in there and the air quality. shep? >> shepard: what are scientists saying they expect to happen next? >> they told us the plumes basically are moving downward from the summit. if you're in that area, they're telling people to get out. they want them to get inside, take shelter because the air quality is poor. they also told us that this is not over just yet. >> it's a dynamic situation up there. we could have additional events like this moving and punch up and dive back down or sustained ash.

>> so one of the firefighters that we spoke with here at the station said they're waiting around, they're going to keep testing the air. they're sending the national guard troops in to the areas where we've seen the fissures and testing for the toxic gasses to see why the levels are rising at the summit. they have geologists up there to get a better understanding what could happen next. there could be another eruption, shep. >> shepard: jeff paul live on the big island. thanks. for the first time a clue. a clue about a possible motive in a las vegas mass murder. ahead from fox news what a man says the killer told him weeks before that attack. that's coming up as fox reports live from just off property from windsor castle. harry and meghan, a live look on main street. i told you earlier, we have a fox first for this remote broadcast. first time in 22 years and we'll

show that to you next. it's huge. i have type 2 diabetes.

i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing.

serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®.

>> shepard: rudy guliani is just fine. that said, you may have seen on social media that there was a wreck in new york city. turns out that's not really accurate. you know petty cab? the annoying bicycle cabs? one of those hit his door. happened a few minutes ago i'm led to believe in times square in new york city. what is he doing in times square? golly. anyway, rudy guliani is type. it was a petty cab hit a car. that doesn't hurt anybody by the petty cab. the petty cab is fine. we're getting hints about a possible motive behind the las vegas shooting, the deadliest shooting in the nation. two people told cops that the suspect who gunned down dozens of people at a music festival, that suspect ranted about the

government trying to take people's guns. that's according to the newly-released documents. cops arrested stephen paddock after the shooting october 1. they said he fired at people from a mandalay bay hotel and killed 58 injuring hundreds more. one of the people that reported his rants told the cops that paddock said, and i'm quoting "somebody has to wake up the american public and get them to arm themselves." quoting again "sacrifices have to be made." dan springer has the news. words have power. dan? >> yeah, shep, las vegas police fought the release of these 1,200 pages of witness statements and would give no comment about what they tell them about the mass killer's possible motive. at least from some of the people cops talked to, sounds like stephen paddock ranted about the government and gun control. one wants said she overheard a

man talking outside a las vegas restaurant. she said he was angry about how federal law enforcement handled two armed stand offs. one at ruby ridge and the other at waco. another told investigators that he refused paddock's offer to pay him $5 for every semiautomatic rifle he could convert to fully automatic weapon. another man said that paddock into a tirade about fema's response to hurricane katrina. he said the camps the feds set were up a dry run for law enforcements and military to start kicking down doors and confiscating weapons. police spoke with a house keeper that cleaned the room days before the shootings. she said the room was tidy but she felt uneasy because he was staring at her. shep? >> shepard: to we know what some of the surviving victims told police?

>> we've heard from a lot of them ourselves, our interviews out there. police got more harrowing stories. one person described the chaos said she thought bullets were raining down from a helicopter. another said that she thought they were fireworks. another woman said she refused to leave her friend that was killed until a group of guys got her to safety. somebody else said that she was playing dead after seeing somebody shot next to her. a lot of harrowing store rows out there. >> shepard: dan springer live. thanks. breaking news coming to us from capitol hill. let's go to our senior producer, chad pergram who is leave there. is it a done deal? >> it's not quite a done deal but gina has spell will be the next cia director. they're waiting for one senator. the vote is 53-45. it should turn out to be 54 to 45. two republican nos, jeff flake and rand paul.

we should have six democratic yeses. joe donnelly, bill nelson, gene shaheen of new hampshire, a new one, mark warner, the vice chair of the democratic committee and heidi heitkamp, a democrat from north dakota. i should point out that donnelly, heitkamp and manchin are in red states and involved in re-elections. another one is john tester from montana. she will be confirmed eminently and we're waiting for one last senator to vote. >> shepard: thanks, chad. they say practice makes perfect. that's what folks in england did today. ahead of the royal we'ding that is coming up, we'll show you some of the rehearsals around town. as the sun sets on windsor castle and we count down to the wedding. it began 6:00 eastern time, 5:00

a.m. central time right here on fox news channel saturday morning. ok. who can beat the san francisco guy for governor?

not the conservative guy, travis allen. what about this john cox? talks a big game... but what's he done? a chicago lawyer? huh? thirteen losing campaigns - seven in illinois? cox lost campaigns as a republican... and as a democrat. gave money to liberals. supported big tax increases. no wonder republicans say cox is unelectable in november.

>> shepard: do you care at all about the royals? you know, like when it's notice like royal wedding time, are you sitting around doing royal stuff? me neither. but britain's sixth in line to the throne, prince marry, sixth in line, that's not so hot. prince harry set to marry meghan markle, hello! we get a glimpse earlier today. the wedding happening saturday morning at st. george's chapel on the castle grounds behind me. look at this. fox animation. i'm impressed. the building is about 500 years old. they tear it down and replace it

soon the american way. prince phillips, harry's grandfather, called it an architectural marvel, which is why it has to go. it's smaller than westminster abb abbey. there will be plenty of fanfare. count on it. that's a rehearsal. rehearsals today, giving us a preview of this weekends's grand festivities. it's going to be huge. fox news correspondents, benjamin hall who lives over here and jillian turner. ben, you covered some of the rehearsals. i've felt bad for meghan. leave them out of it. it's tough. >> she confirmed after a week of speculation that he will not be attending the wedding and walking her down the aisle.

it's a devastating. >> and ben, i heard you volunteered. >> yes, absolutely. as a token britt. yes, they've -- >> shepard: you're going to walk her down? >> if only. we don't know who yet. we think it might be her mother. we'll see a few breaks in tradition in this. but they're going out of the way to say this is a small wedding. for small wedding, it has big, big numbers. 600 guests, up to three billion people will be watching. >> shepard: wow. three billion? people need a hobby. >> $300,000 on flowers. >> shepard: thanks for the lay-up. a fox news first. i've been here 22 years since before fluff was born. we've never had flowers on a set. not live ones. scott wilder found a florist to the royals and say cnn has flowers, so we obviously need more flowers because we're us.

so we have these flowers. >> and they're white for the wedding. they're beautiful. >> shepard: they are beautiful. >> i love them. >> shepard: that's it. the fox news first. you waited around for that. is this real? do you have two to give on this subject? my answer would be normally, no, i don't have two of anything to give on this subject. i mean, it's interesting and it's beautiful and it's royal. and i remember why we escaped. >> we spent enough time covering horror stories, terrorist attacks. why not? deep down, there's a young boy or girl that read a fairy tale. this is it. a young american actress marrying a prince that everybody loves. let's enjoy it a few days. >> shepard: you're right. what do you think? >> shep, i was going to say in addition to the glamour and the excitement of it, there's something more special with this wedding, more meaningful. as many people have pointed out, meghan being american, being

somebody when has previously been married, been divorced, biracial, actually is taking great steps to modernize the monarchy. so the fact that she's welcomed in is significant. it's significant for british and american relations, too. >> shepard: interesting. i think it's fun to be kind of away. it's been raining three days in new york. over here, sunny and beautiful. get this, in windsor, right outside london, it will be sunny and 70. astounding. it's gorgeous here. you don't deserve this. >> we're not used to it either. this is britain. you brought the weather with you. thank you. let's hope it stays this way. >> shepard: i hope so for them and all of us. it will be an incredible morning. i wouldn't get up for much of anything. sandra smith, no relation because she went to lsu will be
