♪ >> all right, it's official today, king charles iii is officially king charles iii, the case sadly as soon as his mother died, but the coronation adds a point of finality to it and make it official, but of course, they had to deal with the weather, they had to deal with the elements, all of the british musicians like elton john, the spice girls, adele, harry styles opted not to perform for the great weekend. we're toll it's nothing personal. and greg palkot on where we stand right now, greg. >> neil, where we stand right now is in front of westminster abbey where for yet another hour they have been ringing those bells. my producer simon calls it a
8:01 am
full peal which i've never heard of, driving us up the wall, but it's part of the day of coronation. about 100 yards behind us we saw king charles and queen camilla turn up in one of those horse-drawn carriages and we knew this was something special and we knew, in fact, something that hasn't been seen here for, oh, 70 years. a lot of hubbub, pomp and circumstance, but in the middle of the ceremony when the archbishop of canterbury took that coronation crown and fitted it on king charles' head and you knew something would happen and a short time after that to show the tradition and heritage of the place you saw something else, his son and heir apparent, prince william, pledge allegiance to king
8:02 am
charles. >> i, william, pledge and faith unto you, as for life and limb. >> they've got the si ceremony, and there was an older carriage and the crowds have been battered and buffeted by rain and wind and they were there by the tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands just to show that the royal naysayers still are in minority in this country. and finally, neil, we saw the family balcony salute from buckingham palace, that never gets old. it was missing a few members, prince harry was at the ceremony without meghan, took a quick exit, the disgraced prince andrew, too, was at the
8:03 am
ceremony, also made an early exit. probably more important as you've been talking about, neil, there's the queen, queen camilla now with her crown, too, and that's an official thing and no time to relax. there's going to be block properties tomorrow and yes, that much neil-touted concert tonight. yes, no adele, no elton, no ed sheeran, but, hey, you've got lionel richie, katy perry, andre bocelli. neil: you've got bocelli, but the adele thing, that would prompt a no-show for me, but that's just me. greg, great coverage, my friend. greg can speak like eight languages and awesome on this stuff. and i think that karen pierce, too. and always remember when she was at the united nations and you just tried to get an end run around karen pierce and you're going to live to regret it. happy to have the ambassador
8:04 am
back with us. great seeing you. >> thank you. neil: we make a lot of these people who don't show up and the family rivalries and the prince harry thing and all that. i think it's tacky for a journalist to do that, but were you offended that any of these prominent british musicians didn't go to this event or sing at this event? >> oh, no. absolutely not. i mean, lionel richie is not british, but a great musician. neil: absolutely. >> and he's connected with the prince's charity, now the king's charity, the prince's trust. neil: he's not british, and elton john is, adele and harry styles. what happened? >> i don't think it mattered. we have katy perry and we have some really great stars performing. elton john, of course, knows the royal family really well. i'm sure they had other commitments. i think adele is committed to appearing in vegas, but, really, everybody is quite relaxed about this. to get lionel richie and katy
8:05 am
perry and have the windsor concert, that's great on this day. neil: i ask a tacky question and i get a respectful answer. i want your take on the fact that the king decided not to give a speech or extended remarks. i know the last time we had an event like this was 70 years ago, but still, what did you make of that. >> i think the king made it clear that he would have a slightly slimmed down ceremony and he put a huge emphasis on music because of the universality of music and emphasis on the solemnity of the occasion and the holy oil speciallity made to his recipe, it comes from jerusalem. so he wanted the emphasis to be on that and to have the range of singers and music that we had was really lovely. neil: you know, we know that the monarchs meet regularly
8:06 am
with the prime minister at the time, weekly audiences. they're never sharing their opinions with the world. i'm sure they do with whoever the prime minister is at the time and i'm just wondering in the case of king charles whether he has spoken one way or the other, for example, about the ukraine war and britain's role in it, and concerns about it? >> i think the king has actually spoken publicly about that and prince william prince of wales has, also. you're absolutely right about the prime minister's audience, neil. it is weekly. no records are kept. what is said is strictly between monarch and premier and and one of the reasons for that is so that they can talk frankly and so they can give each other advice. but in terms of ukraine, you'll have seen the pictures from the abbey, there were the ukrainian colors, blue and yellow, on the floor of the abbey. neil: that's true. >> so the king and prince of wales have been tremendous
8:07 am
supporters of the ukrainian people. neil: you know, we're told, speaking of ukraine, ambassador, that support is beginning to wane or certainly impatience is, through no-fault of the ukrainians, of course. this war drags on and obviously now what the russians say was an attempted assassination of vladimir putin. some see that as a means to really escalate the war in ukraine ahead of what is supposed to be the kyiv offensive in the spring. your thoughts on that and where that war is going. >> well, the british people are full square behind ukraine system. it's a bipartisan issue in the u.k. we support the ukrainian people very strongly. the governments make clear that we're going to go on supplying ukraine with training, with equipment, defensive equipment, so that she can prosecute this war not of her making in a way that is to her advantage. i think the assassination attempt on president putin, i
8:08 am
think the real problem, neil, is that the russians have, over the years and particularly since they invaded ukraine illegally, they've put out so much disinformation and so many attempts at false flag, nobody knows whether to believe the russians anymore. i think we wait to hear the facts of what really happened with that attempt, but you know, i don't want to pass judgment, but i think it's very hard to believe what comes out of the kremlin at the moment. neil: could it be that someone is out to get vladimir putin, it's not president zelenskyy or anyone ukrainian, but some in his own country? >> well, one can't approve of assassination and i think it's been said of putin that he had over the years made sure there was no one close to him who would oppose him. so, i just don't know about that, but i think it is true that president putin is not doing something that benefits the russian people.
8:09 am
you know, he set out to recreate the russian empire, neil and what he's got is the soviet economy of 30 years ago. so he's actually taking the russian people backwards. neil: you know, it's interesting, too, we've mentioned ukraine, ambassador, but the leader of this russian paramilitary group, the wagner group, it's supposed to work in concert with the russian military, but the guy who says they are torpedoing his efforts, and i'm wondering what you make of that and set the stage for the russians to find a convenient excuse to get out? >> i don't know, neil. i think all scenarios are possible at the moment, but i think this in-fighting within the russian machine, as you say, wagner would normally be a part of that machine, even if the paramilitary one.
8:10 am
i think the in-fighting shows it's not going well for the russians and casting around for people in their own system to blame. they need to get out of ukraine. neil: i don't know, you know, in this country, ambassador, as you're familiar. there's a growing dissent, i wouldn't calling growing to the point of being toppling for the ukraine war effort, but many more republicans of late who said it, particularly in the house, that we want to follow every penny that goes to ukraine that we're getting war weary here. i don't know if the same is happening in britain. i do know like in our country, ambassador, you're dealing with inflation and you're dealing with it, we are, and double-digit inflation and that's weighed on the british people that they've got the real financial distractions and that might be weighing on support for ukraine, as it is maybe in a small way in this country. does that worry you? >> it doesn't worry me neil, about britain because the
8:11 am
british people, the british government, parliament, full square behind ukraine and have made clear we're going to go on supporting the ukrainian people as long as it takes and it's a real bipartisan feeling in the u.k., this support for ukraine. yes, we have inflation. yes, fuel costs are higher than we want them to be. but despite all of that, people really want to support the ukrainian people. some people, some older people remember what happened in 1939, in 1940, they see the russian invasion of ukraine very much as a step on russian would-be dominance of europe and we're determined that we don't want that to happen. i have to say when i go on the hill here in washington, i do still find very high levels of support overall. i think you're right, there are some members of congress who are worried about the way the money is spent, but when you talk across the peace on the
8:12 am
hill, we find high levels of support indeed. neil: so when we saw emmanuel macron and speaking with xi jinping, and china could invade, that's a u.s. obsession, i'm para phrasing poorly. but many in europe said no, no, no, that's not our views, those are his views. what did you make of that? >> president macron doesn't need any defending by me, but we share american names in the south china seas and we want peace and-- >> he doesn't -- it's pretty clear that when it comes to taiwan, he doesn't share. >> i don't want to speak for
8:13 am
france and president macron. when it comes to britain we share american aims, and stability. and implying it isn't a european issue, i want to say, it is a european issue: we're with the united states, and we want to share peace and stability in the indo-pacific area as we want to work with the united states to do that in europe. we're not dividing the world into blocks. we're going to help for peace and stability. neil: quickly, the relationship that king charles has with president biden, i only ask that because i'm an expert on your country in relationships with presidents because i've watched "the crown" all the episodes. [laughter] >> i know with some presidents, it's been a little dicey. how is this relationship? >> well, this relationship is extremely good, neil. i'd just say "the crown" is moving increasingly into
8:14 am
fictionalized account of history just to put that on the table. the king and the president have known each other for many years thanks to their shared interest in environmentalism. so now they're both heads of state and they can renew that friendship and the president talked to the king on the 4th of april. they had a very good conversation. the king invited the president to visit him, not just the government. invited the president to visit him in the u.k., which the president accepted and we hope that will take place soon. as i say, they share a very deep interest in energy, in environmentalism, lots to talk about. neil: yeah, including the new season of "the crown", but i digress, ambassador, go ahead. >> no, no, could i just say that we're delighted the first lady attended the coronation. no first lady has done this before. neil: big deal. >> it was the governor of
8:15 am
california and chairman of the joint chiefs who attended the queen's coronation for president eisenhower so we were honored to have the first lady join us. neil: well-played. you swatted me away brilliantly. ambassador, always a joy to have you on. >> we'll see you. neil: we're going to the kentucky derby. how the weather is shaping up there with a key horse now out of the race after this. n homes to combat today's rising prices. lower your monthly payments with the three c's: pay down your credit cards, pay off your car loan, consolidate your debt with a va home loan from from newday.

8:18 am
>> all right, breaking news from the kentucky derby this morning. the earlier favorite a horse named forte has been scrapped ahead of the race. apparently the veterinarians were worried about a bruise on right front foot. and many are wondering if some wind and rain forecast could be an issue for other horses and maybe the race itself. let's go to craig herrera and keeping track of this for fox weather and so much else. we'd be lost without them.
8:19 am
what does it look like, craig, there. >> it looks okay for the first part of the afternoon. it's later in the evening, closer to 11:00 this evening, where you have the chance for showers and thunderstorms. temperatures into the 70's. the wind's going to come out of south about 10 miles per hour. we basically have a cap in place and a cap is about warm -- where the warm weather, warm temperatures that's preventing some storms from building in the area. that cap will be gone by this evening and later this evening, 11:00 is when we have the best chance to see some thunderstorms popping up in and around for the derby. take a look at this. we've got the warmest-- the hottest and the coldest back in 1940, and in 1957, and the wettest, they had 3.15 inches of rain that goes back to may 5th of 2018. not long ago. by the way a couple of horses in there verified, like the forecast and we've got sun thunder and cyclone mischief,
8:20 am
fun weather related names for you. we are watching for the chance for severe storms to pop up over portions of texas level three out of five. damaging hail in this. and des moines, level two, we could see some large hail as well. when you're talking large hail you're taking two inches in diameter from fort worth and dallas down to junction. think about that, if you're holding a lime in your hand, think of that has a hail stone. and there's a lot of cold air in the higher elevations where the stones develop and get cold air and finally fall out of the storms. look at this, threw new orleans, southern louisiana, southern mississippi, the storms fire up. by the time we get to 8:00 this evening, waco, over to dallas, fort worth and where we're starting to see the storms pick up and could give us the larger hail as well. we won't stop there. as we go to sunday, most of the
8:21 am
energy transfers up to the north and look at this, des moines now likely to see some strong winds here and we've got a level two out of five to see the chance for some severe weather. maybe some twisting thunderstorms. but the hail is going to be a big concern here. throughout sunday afternoon. look at this, up and down portions of kentucky, over to west virginia and now we're dealing with severe weather, so it's a day after the events go on. nonetheless, tomorrow we could see large hail yet again, neil, so we'll have to watch closely and it's going to start to warm up next week. temperatures back in the 70's, 80's, and even 90's to the south. neil: what time were you in this morning? i get in early myself, but you were hours in, covering what was going on in england and everything else. do you sleep? >> i tell you what, i needed more coffee. i came in at 4:00 and we start at 6:00. i'm always happy to be with you and your team. neil: oh, man, just showing off. [laughter]. neil: he guilts us all out.
8:22 am
the guy is a weather machine, doesn't stop. >> thank you. neil: the worry about the border does not stop either, especially come thursday when something ends and those there worry about something else that just begins. >> what i am witnessing throughout the great city of brownsville is nothing short of travesty.

8:25 am
>> our brownsville border is not normal. i myself have witnessed firsthand the influx of illegal immigrants crossing in the enormous amount of manpower that this crisis is demanding. and yes, it's a crisis on every level. what i'm witnessing on the great city of brownsville is nothing more than a travesty.
8:26 am
what is more concerning is the silence of our elected officials who are supposed to be our voice. neil: a lot of residents in brownsville, texas are not happy what's going on and particularly around thursday, when that title 42, that measure that keeps those who tried to cross into our country on the other side of our country, along the mexican border. they could be free or try to be free to go head north again, have their cases dealt with in the united states. griff jenkins is in brownsville, texas with more on that. hey, griff. griff: hey, good morning, neil and we're at the tip of the spear here in brownsville where they're seeing over 2,000 migrants a day literately arriving behind me on a levee. show you the coffee of the brownsville herald today. the difficult situation is the headline, that's how secretary mayorkas described it. and let me take you by drone and show why that's an understatement. at the levee, another group has
8:27 am
been arrived moments ago and they will be transported and screened and that's part of the situation here since the middle of april, neil. they have processed over 30,000 migrants, mostly venezuelans in this very location alone. now, let me show you the fact that this happens day and night. look at this exclusive footage. our drone team shot early in the morning around 5 a.m. the u.s. side on the bottom. mexico on the other side and the my fwrants migrants coming in darkness, 2, 300 large. and we can show you the migrants crossing on rafts. a little closer look at the river, how dangerous it is, it's humanitarian crisis because they're putting their lives in dangers. we've had multiple rescues along the river thanks to border patrol and dps. another important video we shot.
8:28 am
we sent our team exclusive into matamoros, mexico, on the migrant camp on the other side and there is a stream of migrants coming from central america and all points south of there coming up through the south of mexico all the way up to where we are. that is why the chief of the border patrol, raul ortiz, who is here with mayorkas, said it could get worse. the likes of which we've never seen. listen here. >> i fully expect us to see come may 11th, 9 or 10,000 apprehensions a day and that's not something that we're not prepared for. if you get upwards of that, it really starts to stress the resources that we have available to us, but i do-- i am confident that the men and women out here are doing everything they can to prepare for those increases in traffic. griff: and those are significant numbers, neil, because the first four days of may we saw over 32,000 border-wide apprehensions, 8,000 and going up to 9 or 10 or beyond and that's something
8:29 am
they've never seen here and they're bracing for what that might look like come thursday when title 42 lifts. neil: thank you for that, griff jenkins in brownsville. the laredo, texas mayor, declaring a state of emergency ahead of that title 42 ending. doctor, it's great to have you back. >> thank you. thank you for having me. neil: tell me why the emergency now? i mean, you would think that it escalates to the point of that and more thursday, but obviously now it's serious enough for you? >> yes, as we saw all the migrant crossings are not here in laredo, they're in other border cities, but they will be transferred to laredo for processes. the situation is like a hurricane coming, we have to brace for it. and the border situation is very fluid. we have to basically, the numbers keep moving up and we're prepared to bus them up to northern cities that have received more funding and have
8:30 am
more capacity. so, that's where we are. our ngo's have received funding from federal government, but the capacity problem is our situation. our facility can only process 2,000 a day and anything above that release them to the streets. we only have two facilities, we set up the park and ride and recreation center if case we get overflow. this is not enough. our community is compassionate of course, but we cannot have economic or hospital resources absorb all the transfers and we have been speaking to congressman henry cuellar who is speaking to secretary mayorkas about the situation and we have tools of last resort, which the city had to do during the pandemic. so these are situations that we're looking at. we're aware that 40,000 people are waiting on the mexican side of different cities to cross once title 42 expires. neil: mayor, you probably have the homeland security secretary
8:31 am
visiting yesterday, who said it's security. what do you think? >> well, it's secure in a way that it used to be before, but with this surge, that might pose a different challenge so we have to look at this situation as fluid. neil: so, if people are getting in to the point of thousands day, to say nothing about got high pressure a-- go-aways, that doesn't sound secure. >> we've never seen anything like this, let's put it that way. neil: so if we don't find much changing with the 1500 troops that we're sending down there, then what? >> it's an interesting question. the troop will only help to not to process, but just assist the cvp officers, but the other situation is that if we get all of our cvp officers pulled from the bridge, then our commerce is going to fail and that's very worrisome not only for texans, but for the rest of the
8:32 am
country. where 40% of the goods that come from mexico pass through laredo. neil: mayor, we're watching closely. love it get you back. dr. victor trevino, mayor of laredo. and more on the alleged attacks on vladimir putin, two now recorded. but are they as they appear? after this. -oh, hi! -you're in a hurry. i'm off to america's best i heard what you said about not overpaying for glasses. two pairs and a free, quality eye exam starting at just $79.95? yes! the exam alone is worth... 59 bucks. which is great, because i hate getting overcharged. you have no idea. i mean, people deserve breaks, right? yeah, brakes...!

8:36 am
attempt on president putin, i think the real problem, neil, the russians over the years and particularly since they invaded ukraine illegally, they've put out so much disinformation and so many attempts at false flag, nobody knows whether to believe the russians. neil: very few do, but again, to the ambassador here to the united states from britain, karen pierce's views, just ignore them. but in the meantime, many people are wondering what's going on amid growing divisions within the russian military and the spring offensive that kyiv is planning, and worrisome that maybe everything is dissolving with the russian army. lucas tomlinson has more. >> where the spokesman is accused of carrying out the strike on the kremlin. a charge that the u.s. denied.
8:37 am
here is a statement. such attempt to distance themselves in kyiv and washington are laughable. we're well aware that the decision on such actions and terrorist attacks is not made in kyiv, but in washington. now, here in washington at the white house, john kirby pushed back hard on that accusation. >> we just don't have conclusive evidence. one thing i can tell you for certain is that the united states was not involved in this incident in any way, contrary to mr. pescov's lies. >> some say that's not diplomatic words, neil. and explosions rocked the kremlin 15 minutes apart early wednesday and drone experts say it would almost impossible to fly a crude copter drone from ukraine to russia, and senior u.s. officials have the been reluctant to call the war in ukraine a stalemate. that's what some officials say
8:38 am
privately. the front lines have not moved in months and here is our colleague earlier this week with the secretary of state. >> a stalemate at the moment on the battlefield. i wonder what that says, the fact that there's a stalemate after all the u.s. support and international support, that that's where we are right now. >> russia's already failed in the sense that what they were trying to accomplish initially was to erase ukraine from the map, to subsume it into russia, to eliminate its existence as an independent state. >> but, neil, u.s. officials say that russia still occupies 17% of ukraine and has hundreds of thousands of troops in the country, neil. neil: thank you for that, lucas. some of those troops are divided right now and we're learning that the leader of the russian paramilitary group wagner may pull out of ukraine, and made it obvious earlier this week why. >> my guys will not suffer useless and unjustified losses without ammunition, therefore
8:39 am
on may 10th, 2023 we'll leave the settlement. but if you want to give it, these are your problem. neil: the former cia station chief, dan, this is the group that's been having all of this discord with the russian military and claiming that the military has no provided enough ammunition and support, but it's in eastern ukraine where we're told the russians presumably had an advantage, maybe not. what do you think? >> well, he was in bakhmut and the fighting since last june and the russians failed to take it and lost thousands in the process and many of them the wagner mers nari mercenarimerce
8:40 am
and an amid russians corpses and the tirade with the chief of staff. there's no unity of command in the russian military effort and moreover, vladimir putin has been very close with him over the years. i wouldn't put it past vladimir putin to be appreciative for giving putin a scapegoat or two or three of them for the military failures. the last thing vladimir putin wants is for the blame to be laid at his doorstep where it belongs. neil: still, to what end? right? i mean, if that's signaling serious problems as you outlined here, it could be another way for vladimir putin to say, all right, i can't win this thing, but where do you see it going? >> well, look wars end when both sides are two exhausted to fight or when one side loses the will to fight and i think one of the reasons that ukraine
8:41 am
stayed and fought in bakhmut, the same with a that the soviets fought in stalingrad against the nazis, ukraine thought they could destroy russia's will to fight and that's what ukraine has done. yes, on the ground in terms of territory taken or lost, you might call it a stalemate, but ukraine is destroying russia's will and capacity to fight. russia has no capability to inflict offensive options on ukraine and let's see the counter offensive with russia poor logistics, poor morale, bad leadership and lack of military supplies. neil: if it's that divided in the military, that's not susta sustainable. >> right. it's not and i think, again, vladimir putin is probably expecting his guys to lose some territory this spring and summer and i think it would be certainly in the tradition of soviet leadership going back to
8:42 am
stalin, to blame somebody else. the czar can't be at fault, it's going to be somebody else and it's kind of a race to see who stabs the other one in the back first and i think vladimir putin's probably going to win that race first. and look at defense ministers in the bullseye in the cross hairs of vladimir putin. the challenge is this means his security services and defense are going to be on the lookout and they're a risk to vladimir putin as well. so, it's very unstable in russia right now. high priority for our intelligence community to be reporting on the intricacies of those relationships. neil: got it. dan, thank you. dan hoffman on all of this. in the meantime, forget about following the polls. follow the money and the fact that governor ron desantis of florida already has more than $100 million for a presidential run that he could announce soon after this. out here, you're more than just a landowner. you're a gardener.
8:43 am
8:44 am
8:45 am
8:46 am
>> well, ron desantis certainly sounds like a presidential candidate. he certainly has the money of a potential presidential candidate, better than 100 million raised to date, we're told, but he's still not officially a presidential candidate. that could change and soon. nate foy has more from atlanta. hey, nate. >> hey, neil, yeah, for the better part of the past year, florida governor ran desantis has sidestepped direct questions whether he'll run for president. now that the legislative session is over it appears he's looking toward the future. >> what happens in the future, look, people, we'll get on that relatively soon. now, you've either got to put up or shut up on that as well. >> so that's comments come after what desantis calls a banner legislative session for florida republicans. among the highlights six-week abortion ban, permitless conceal carry law and a prohibiting gender reassignment surgery for children.
8:47 am
desantis believes that florida is a model for the rest of the country. we're clearly the place to be. people are seeing that and voting with their feet, voting with their pocket book. our economy is outpacing the nation and has consistently for many, many years. >> now, of course, if desantis runs he'll go head to head with former president donald trump, the two are former allies, but since arg his 2024 campaign, trump has increased his criticism of the florida governor and the latest fox news poll has trump leading all republicans with 53% support, desantis is in second right now with 21% support and that could change if he does officially declare his candidacy, neil. back out here live, we do know that desantis in resents month visited iowa, new hampshire, and today he's in wisconsin. he says his immediate priority is going over the budget that florida lawmakers just passed. we'll send it back to you. neil: a month until that's done and then maybe we'll see something to your point.

coronation and went off flawlessly pretty much today, the weather notwithstanding. nigel farage with us, and the fa family tensions notwithstanding, that seemed to go off well, nigel. what do you think? >> it was historic, it was magnificent and emotional when the moment was there and william was there and kissed his father on the cheek during the ceremony. very, very touching. when charles turned to camilla and looked at her, you could see his face brighten up. and harry, do you know what? actually, he looked very confident, okay. he's only here for a short time, but there were no scenes, no problems and i'm very pleased, despite everything that's been said, i'm very pleased that harry was there. neil: that's good to hear. do we know whether he had a chance to be alone with his father, alone with his brother,

any of that? >> i think they would have spent time together late this morning. neil: okay. >> quite how much, i don't know, but yes, literally, after the ceremony he was straight off to heathrow airport and he's going back to the west coast. although, he does have a good reason. it is little archie's fourth birthday. neil: yeah. heaven forbid he also flew commercial, which that was a shocker right there. leaving that aside, i'm wondering now for king charles, and you have educated me to the ways of british prime ministers who regularly meet with monarchs, it's been 70 years of course where a whole variety of british prime ministers had their weekly audience with the queen. and now, of course, the prime minister will have his audiences with the king. do we know what goes on there or whether the prime minister or the king in this particular case are in sync in a lot of things?

>> well, the job -- you know, the real job of a constitutional monarch and it's been this way since 1688, is to make sure that the government of the day does not do things that damage the country and damage the constitution. they are there to defend the constitution. they're also there, incidentally, to be the defender of the faith. predominantly the christian faith, but you'll notice today that charles did include all of the other church leaders as well. now, what is said between the prime minister and a monarch is always supposed to be secret. neil: right. >> what we do know, what we do know of the late queen, don't forget, every piece of legislation cannot become law until the monarch puts their signature on the document. it's called the royal ascent. and what we do know is that the queen sometimes would say to the prime minister, are you sure? have you really thought this through? so, it's a very gentle form of

using power, of exercising influence, but it's something that is done very much in private. as i say, we've been doing it two three and a half centuries. whatever the faults we have in our country, generally, compared to the rest of europe, we've had very, very stable government, stable monarchy. we've not had revolutions. we haven't turned to communism, haven't turned to fascism. generally, i think the british system and it may look somewhat outdated, but you know something, it works. neil: it does work. it does work. were you disappointed that adele couldn't show up to sing? >> well, of course i was, but you know, tomorrow will be a big celebration at windsor a hell of a show and i think lionel richie i think is going to be the star of much of it. neil: absolutely. >> tomorrow is going to be a big celebration, but today, i've got to tell you, all i know about the coronation of a grainy black and white images of almost exactly 70 years ago. what i saw today was absolutely

breath taking and i'll be honest with you, i felt pretty emotional watching some of that stuff and immensely proud to be british today and make no policy whatsoever. neil: as you should be. >> i make no apology whatsoever. neil: and support for the royal family was at a low point after the death of diana, i understand that and the queen was able to rebuild that over the years until her sad passing. how is it today? >> support for the monarchy in those over the age of 40 is overwhelming. support for the monarchy in the younger population is quite divided. why? frankly, i think, through our educational establishment, much as you see in much of america, there's an agenda, a left wing agenda being pushed on kids telling them they should hate our countries and hate our histories and i'd like that to be addressed, but there is no prospect of us getting rid of

the monarchy. that simply isn't going to happen and today i think would have brought more supporters to the monarchy. neil: jolly good, my friend. jolly good. enjoy the weekend and the festivities. always great to have you, nigel farage. the party goes on across the pond. no adele, no spice girls, no elton john but they have lionel richie so there is that. and save hundreds of dollars every month.
