when that car hit my motorcycle, insurance wasn't fair. so i called the barnes firm, it was the best call i could've made. call the barnes firm now, to my darling mama, thank you. and find out what your case could be worth. ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million for your love, and devotion. >> it is a sad day. it is very very sad day. >> she has been a role model for so many people. >> we have all glow grown up with her and that family, so it
5:01 am
is like a family member is gone. >> she was the very spirit of great britain, and that spirit will endure. >> the fact that today we can see with such confidence, got to have the king, is a tribute to him. >> but above all, to elizabeth. >> whatever maybe your background or believes, i shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love, as i have throughout my life. . good morning. it is saturday september the 10th. i am ali velshi in new york. my colleague chris mention is in london. co-hosting with me there is a
5:02 am
full schedule of events regarding the secession of king charles iii, is been underway for hours. soon we're expecting britain's new monarch will tour the front gates of buckingham palace to view the flowers and tributes of people after his late mother, queen elizabeth the second since her death on thursday afternoon. upon her passing, king charles immediately became the new head of state and sent into motion a well coordinated series of formalities, and events, to commemorate the end of the elizabethan era and usher in the new kings rain. this morning, the accession that council, a group of british leaders that include former prime ministers and scottish heads of state convened at st. james powell's in london to formally proclaim charles as the new king. during that ceremony, king charles had this to say about his mother. >> my mother gave an example of lifelong love and of selfless service. my mother's rain was unequal in its duration, its dedication,
5:03 am
and its devotion. even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life. i am deeply aware of this great inheritance, and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now been passed to me. >> that was the first time that this meeting had ever been televised, by the way. just a reminder of the long reign of queen elizabeth and the changes that have radically transformed the world since she took over the throne in 1952. a lot has changed in the united kingdom and in the world in the seven years since then. her death comes at a precarious time as britain faces economic troubles, updated political leadership, and reexamination of the royal family's brutal and ugly history of colonialism that has renewed questions about the british monarchy's relevance, and its place in the modern world. i want to bring in my friend and colleague, chris jansing,
5:04 am
who is in london just outside of the gates of buckingham palace. as i said, chris and i will be co-hosting throughout the show today. chris, you have had a little time to be there, to sense the sentiments around there. where you are is overwhelmingly going to be a place of remembrance for that queen, because that is where people are going to place their flowers and to remember her. but needless to say, it is complicated. >> it is extremely complicated and this is a monarchy that has faced trials and tribulations over the years, but always at the center of it was the queen. and so, i took a little walk through green park, which is just across the street from buckingham palace in front of me from where i am standing. talked to a number of people. they have been streaming in all morning long and i think that you can see just how deep the crowds are behind me. and there was no one who had anything negative to say. they talked about the queen with great reverence. they were so grateful for her. one person i talked to got
5:05 am
pretty emotional. i thought years in her eyes. there are a lot of families. there was a couple, ali, with a couple of three year olds. they said that they wanted to bring their children here so that they could witness history. and i've that said i'm not sure that they will remember it, and they left it agreed. but they said that they wanted to be able to tell them, you are here and we were able to see that king. and the other thing that i would say, and i just want to show you the papers here. because in many ways, this is not just a tribute to the queen but a welcome to the king. you see on the front page of the daily mail, cheerful charles, tribute to his darling mama. which is exactly the tone and clearly that they wanted to send. and our new pledge to the nation, loyalty, respect, edge love. the same kind of themes we saw playing out earlier today. and i will say, ali, i was standing outside of this crowd when they can gain by after that official ascension. and the chairs were allowed. the chairs seemed to be very
5:06 am
genuine. now the people who came out here, you could certainly make the argument they are here in a show of support for the queen. for the new king, perhaps for both. polls will ultimately tell us, ali, whether or not a lot of folks who felt disappointed when he was prince charles may be coming around to the new monarch but certainly around here you can feel both the sorrow and the loss of the monarch. but also, i think a certain hopefulness for what has yet to come, ali. >> i want to show our viewers some images that we are getting in of one of the houses of parliament. i am not sure whether this is the combined house or if they are doing it separately. but they are taking their oath. this is part of a long and complicated process. this isn't a matter of one monarch dying and another monarch replacing them. there, the king, king charles iii ascended to the throne
5:07 am
immediately upon the passing of his mother. but there is 1 million stops on the way which will culminate in her funeral in many days from now. and a coronation many months from now. at the moment, this is what is happening. this is the ascension council did they're meeting this morning, the king spoke and now members of parliament are taking their oath of allegiance to the king. but it is quite a process. let's just be clear for our viewers who have been following it closely, king charles is the king. that is the bottom line. but there are a lot of steps on the way to the formalities of his coronation. >> i was also going to say that we are anticipating here, as you talked, about the many steps. one of those is really for him to meet with his people we saw.
5:08 am
-- -- the loss of his mother. that he was shaking, hands and that there is at least one woman who kissed him. and we are expecting both he and his new queen consort camilla to come here and to be inside of buckingham palace gates, and to see this huge number of flowers, cards, honestly very heartfelt sentiments. there was someone carrying an enormous bouquet of flowers who i talked to earlier. and a number of them who have written notes there just say thank you. thank you to the queen. and so i think we are going to continue to see that king as he develops this relationship, develops this new role. it is a very different thing. you know, aly you and i have covered many changes in leadership in the united states. and there is something that we talk about how someone who is just a politician, just a member of congress, just a
5:09 am
governor, can take on a very different way of being just by being president of the united states. suddenly, when they take that oath of office something changes. and i think for a lot of people that i have spoken to today, that is exactly what they are seeing in charles. it is very early, obviously. but the reviews if you will for his speeches, the reviews of four when he already came out into the crowds and was talking to people and was shaking their hands, i think have been very positive for him, ali. >> chris, i want to bring in tim -- who you know is a msnbc royal commentator. he's a former editor for itv news. he's the author of multiple books including queen elizabeth ii, a celebration of her majesty's 90th birthday and the treasures of queen elizabeth the second. tim, thanks for being with us by the way. i know you've been with us a lot this morning it will continue to be. let me ask you about something that chris was saying. obviously the people around, chris, are people who are coming to pay their tribute either two queen elizabeth were to honor the new king. but, when you are away from
5:10 am
there and you are on social media, there are mixed messages about the monarchy and the way to think about it. whether or not you loved or respected queen elizabeth, there are a lot of people in the commonwealth countries, in the new world, and in former british colonies who are saying her reign was interesting. she was a notable woman. but the time it may be passed for the adulation of the british monarchy, every house for a reexamination of hertz roland colonialism. what are your takes on the? >> well, i think you're absolutely right, ali. that is not a view that is certainly held in countries abroad. a lot of british people feel the same way about that. right now, our media is dominated. it is exclusively devoted to the coverage of the story. and the coverage is very different to yours. we would not be having this discussion if i was on british television now. we would not be having the kind
5:11 am
of discussion that we have heard about the role of the monarchy in the past, the future of the monarchy's popularity. so it is a crucial time for the monarchy. i think at the moment you are seeing thousands, hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets around buckingham palace. these are devoted monarchists. these are people who feel the urge to come out and express their sorrow. and they will support the new king his public message is that he wants to be seen responding to them, because he knows that once this period of mourning is over, there is going to be a sort of debate that you guys are already having. what is the relevance of the monarchy, how should it change, should it be cheaper, should it be slimmer? these are all issues that lie ahead for the new king. but right now, in this country those issues are not yet being
5:12 am
addressed. >> there are things that he has talked about in the past. he has talked about a slimmer, more streamlined monarchy. will that weight out of respect until after the funeral of his mother? >> yes. sorry, i lost you there for a moment. yes it will. i mean, we are now in an official period of mourning for at least seven or eight days. the funeral i think will probably be a week on monday. the royal family itself will be in an official state of mourning for another seven days after that. and i don't think you are going to see, within the established british media, the sort of discussion that we are having now appearing for certainly a few more days. what appears on social media, of course, is very different. and there is a lot of criticism, a lot of attacks on the monarchy. that is true.
5:13 am
but the pictures that you are seeing right now, that will be the face of britain that is being presented to the world. that the streets will be lined, and believe me we, talk about the age of deference being over here. which may be true. but believe me, the queen's funeral approaches, as she lives in state which will happen in the middle of next week, the -- that you are looking at right now will seem small. there will be hundreds of thousands of people, all of them devoted monarchists. that will be the picture of britain. >> tim, there is nobody who has held a position of authority for as long as she has and seen so many changes in the world. i think her first photograph with the prime minister was winston churchill, and her last one was liz truss. 15 prime ministers, five popes. what do you think written so much about her, what would she say about her legacy and about the british monarchy, and about where to go from here?
5:14 am
>> well i think she would be very much a modernize. or i really do think that. and one of the saddest is about the royal family is the risk that we have at the moment of queen charles's two sons, william and harry. the queen queen solve them very much as the face of the future. now william has kicked the box, and he is doing the job that he was born to do. harry has taken a different route. but i follow terry for example to the caribbean a few years ago where the debate about ditching the british monarchy was dominant. and he is not going to change the debate, but he did an incredibly good job. he was hugely popular. people responded to him. they liked the fact that he was a young guy. issues that he talked about were issues that the monarchy hadn't dealt with before. homelessness, deprivation, disadvantaged people, and this kind of thing. so i think the queen actually
5:15 am
although she was -- although she was alive during the second world war, she served actually in the british army as a driver in the second world war. she i think would welcome the fact that we are not talking about how the monarchy can go forward. i don't think she would have enjoyed some aspects of the debate about it, but this is what she wanted. she wanted a slimmed down monarchy. we saw the images on the balcony on previous occasions were certainly, you haven't got ten or 15 people. reporters like me are saying, hang on where is the guy on the far-right. what see the duke of? she wanted it to be slimmer. so i think that she would welcome this. and i think that she would be very pleased to see her son, as he has done yesterday and we think we'll do today, going into the crowd and meeting people. and being more of the people. >> christian, saying you know, at the last time this happened was 70 years ago and there has been a plan in place for a long
5:16 am
time about what happens when the queen dies. and asked him just, said it is going to be many many days of official mourning. a funeral. things like that. we are in a different era, right now. very little takes a week or two weeks in terms of coverage. so it will be interesting to see how this all plays out. i'm going to be with you on the other side. tim you, or thanks very much for joining. as tim is about embassy royal colic commenter and a former commentator at msnbc news. we've got a lot going on here. we have three more hours of the special edition of velshi, with my friend. much more on the death of queen elizabeth. much more this accession of king charles. the new king is said to have a audience with list trust. more on that in the next. our will be right back. r will be right back r will be right back that's why visionworks gives you 100 days to change your mind. it's simple. anything else i can help you with? like what? visionworks. see the difference. i would say that to me an important aspect is too... meta portal with smart sound. helps reduce your background noise.

that is the shot overhead showing you buckingham palace. i am here along with ali velshi, who is at 30 rock for us. and we are continuing to follow the movements after charles was formally proclaimed king this morning. we are joined now by nbc news correspondent cure simmons who is here with me at kennedy gate outside the grounds of buckingham palace. you know, ali was saying before we went to the break, and that this is been planned for years and years. what you can't plan for is the reaction, what you can't plan for, what are we going to hear from the new king. it struck me, walking through the crowds today that there is still a sense of shell shock. they are trying to adjust to this new reality. and also, really a feeling that they want to be here. because history, and we say this every day, but every day this is history being made. but every da this is history being made
5:22 am
it really is. what we are seeing is resonating through the ages of british history. we have seen these kinds of scenes for about 500 years. >> never on television. not on television, no. it is the same principle. it is about the people coming out onto the street and showing their support for the monarch. never mind queen elizabeth ii. queen elizabeth ii first, back in the 16th tree, she would ride through the streets of london and engage with the london public. she was taking flowers. why did she do it? she wanted the consent of the people. again charles, he will be relieved to see this. they know that feeling you have when you plan a party invited much people, if you are not sure if they will arrive? you are nervous. that is the way that came charles will be feeling in the buildup to this. he'll be looking at the pictures of people on the streets. you will be seeing, thank goodness for that?
5:23 am
he was not sure that there will be the crowds that he will take us a sign of consent. we have seen the british constitution. we have seen royalty, military, religion. most important consent of the people. the people who come out onto the street before and said that they are working. i don't want to work. this is very important. we live in a modern era. this does go back hundreds of years. look at that. what a moment that is. history is not just about tradition. it is also about change. that image that you are seeing there of the king, we get a wide shot. people will see that in the morning. it looks like a painting from the 19th century. it is a famous prime minister. there it is. look.
5:24 am
yet, this is the first time that it has been televised. the royal family knows, king charles knows very well that they have to hold on to tradition while making changes. that is what we have seen there today. really extraordinary. >> let me ask you about that last sentence you just said. they had to hold on to tradition and make changes. when elizabeth came into the throne in 1952. chlorinated a 1953. great britain had already lost the jewel and the crown. india was gone in 1947. she inherited the beginning of the end of the british empire. she governed herself accordingly. some people are unhappy with how that happened. others think that she conducted herself very well. there is no british empire anymore. what does that look like? but just holding on to tradition in modernizing looked
5:25 am
like four king charles iii? he have left? what is the monarchy today of not for souvenir plates and largely older people reminiscing about the queen? >> you make a good point. the royal family, the british monarch has power. all of his powers in the image that he projects. it is the way that he seems. in that sense, it is very powerful. he knows that. that is why every single moment, he is aware that it is crucial. the speech he gave today during the session council, it was interesting because it was so personal. by being a personal, he is trying to connect the people. the television address that he made yesterday, there were so many messages in there. i know that my life will
5:26 am
change. read between the lines. that means that he realizes he cannot be the outspoken prince of wales-hyder more. make that change and mention it. he appointed william and kate prince and princess and of wales. he knows what that means. he knows that is a reference to his late former wife. he knows how that will resonate. he had a message for harry and meghan. -- this is him trying to heal the refs. he goes on and on. historians will look at that speech and paid through it for many years. perhaps decades to come. that is what it is all about. you remember here when we are celebrating the queen's 70 years on the throne. little prince louis jumped on to charles are slap.
5:27 am
it was a fantastic moment. >> it was an important moment for the king. it personalized him. isn't that interesting? that is the way that the public and personal weave together when you are a royal. it is like we always say, they are in a goldfish poll. they know it very well. the first thing that he did was step out of his car, step in history, and greet the people here outside the palace. he realizes that royal power is all about branding. i want to put it in the modern science. one of the points to make, i think it is so interesting. we talk about the fact that the exception council was talked about for the first time. the royals have a long relationship with television. nichols back to the beginning of what we have called moving pictures. queen victoria, after her diamond jubilee, that was filmed with the early cameras in the 19th century.
5:28 am
this family knows television. they know the media. it has changed so much. they realize that it is a way to connect with the people. hundreds of years ago, their ancestors had to correct with people like coming out to the streets. >> the stakes are so high. there is a spooky moment for me an hour or so ago. he can came back from the accession. people were cheering. behind him, there was a truck that had some of the metal barriers on it. and a kind of character caricature, the guy who is in the truck was doing one of these. he was doing the wave that we have all come to know. i think that the challenge going forward in many ways is going to be for them to be looked at a serious and relevant in a world that often will look at them not that way it passed.
5:29 am
>> that was also a little bit of the british sense of humor. we are also just a little bit disrespectful. one really deserves full respect. >> nbc, senior national correspondent, thank you so much. we are going to have much more live in london. that is coming up next. stay with us. stay with us riders! let your queries be known. uh, how come we don't call ourselves bikers anymore? i mean, "riders" is cool, but "bikers"...is really cool. -seriously? -denied. can we go back to meeting at the rec center? the commute here is brutal. denied. how do we feel about getting a quote to see if we can save with america's number one motorcycle insurer? should flo stop asking the same question every time? -approved! -[ altered voice ] denied!

5:32 am
of justice and former presidents legal team submitted their candidates for the special master who will examine tops she court documents that were seized from donald trump's private mar-a-lago home. no surprise, they have disagreements. the department of justice is putting forward retired federal judges barbara jones and thomas griffith. trump's lawyers have also selected a judge, raymond dearie. there is also the lawyer, paul junior. he's the former deputy attorney general for florida. the doj and donald trump's teams are also in disagreement over the scope of duties that the special master will have. the back and forth is playing out under the fbi's investigation into the several hundred classified documents that were recovered from mar-a-lago over the last years. several other investigations were involved in the former president. entirely separately, the justice department has reportedly subpoenaed two top trump aides. they want to talk to brian jack
5:33 am
and stephen miller as a part of a widening investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. joining me now is barbara mcquade, the former united states attorney and msnbc legal analyst. i am with charlie savvy, a washington correspondent for the new york times and msnbc contributed. he is also the author of power warriors. barbara, you and i talked about this a few weeks ago there, was some sense that this concept of a special master, someone independent and removing department of justice, someone with legal expertise, probably the right classification access, they look at these things and determine what is good and what is bad. ultimately, is this anything more than a tactic for the trump team? is there some sense that this special master actually has an impact on the outcome of this investigation? >> and in the end, probably not. you know, i can't imagine any special master is going to say that the government is not allowed to look at the classified documents.
5:34 am
these are documents created by agency in the intelligence community. these will stay outside of the review of the government. maybe a there are privileged documents. they have already been segregated from the evacuate of team from a team at the fbi. i am sure that a special master would pull those back. there is some debate about executive privilege. even then, i think the government has the upper hand on that argument. the documents at the heart of this case, the classified documents reveal national defence information. those are going over to the government. no matter who looks at them. it is made a late day some month, 90 days. eventually, the government is getting those documents. they are gonna be part of this case. >> charlie, one of the things that came up in the discussions between the department of justice and the trump legal team is that the doj would like this wrapped up by october 17th. there is some relevance to that take given that we have elections in november. the trump team suggested taking
5:35 am
90 days. that is literally three times the amount of time. that fits. that may be the motivation here. maybe, in the end, just as barbara said, the information that is investigating the documents are a little bit different. it maybe eat another delay tactic. and i think that would not be an incorrect where do you think about this. we have seen president trump's legal strategy. it has been going back to when he was president. democrats took over congress and began trying to use oversight and use the legal system as a delaying tactic. they wanted to run out the clock. they wanted to fight everything. they wanted to slowly litigate it. take your time to write the briefs, have the arguments, get a ruling, appeal it to the next level and then start all over again to one of the clock. the clock was the next election. and it was whether or not congress would review any damaging information. he was seeking reelection.
5:36 am
he successfully prevented them from getting new information out about the things they were looking at. everybody expects him to run for presidents again. the closer he gets to that election, the more difficult and fraught it would be for the prosecutions to consider indicting him. proposing to take three times as long for this review among many other things that they are disagreeing about, that certainly fits well within that established strategy. >> barbara, i want to talk about steve bannon for a second. he pleaded not guilty to charges in new york. again, not unexpected. here is what he said about the charges, let's listen to this. >> this is what happens on the last days of a dying regime. they would never do this. there would have to kill me first. i have not yet begun to fight. i don't even know what to make of that. this is what happened in the last days of a dying regime, i
5:37 am
don't know what regime he is talking about that is dying. they will never shut me out, they have to kill me first. i have not begun to fight. >> this is crazy talk. nobody is shutting up. the beauty of our criminal justice system is that you are actually guaranteed your right to talk and to offer your defence. what is going on with him in his strategy? what is this all about? >> it is hard to know what is going on with someone. i sometimes, in litigation, i would try to put myself in the shoes of opposing counsel. most of the time, you could figure where they're coming from. sometimes, people are so irrational that it is difficult to let your mind go there. just like donald trump, the best defense is a good offense. this idea of a dying rasheem is a state court. it is a state prosecutor who has charged him here. i don't know how he could've referenced us to a dying machine. he has made himself clear that he is an enemy of democracy. he is an enemy of the current status quo. he wants to blow it all up. i suppose that these statements are just more efforts to fuel his followers and extremists.
5:38 am
the danger, elie, of saying these kinds of things, it only takes one kind of person out there who is a little bit unstable to hear these words and use them as motivation to engage in some sort of attack. it is kind of like what we saw in cincinnati. somebody attacked the fbi field office there after the search of mar-a-lago. donald trump started saying disparaging things about the fbi. it is dangerous and irresponsible. when you have been charged with a crime, you don't feel very charitable the person who has charged to. nonetheless, i find it incredibly irresponsible to say these kinds of things. >> a different level of thing, right? you can say this about the government. lots people have said. that the government isn't just in their prosecution. by the way, history has more on that. the government has often been on their prosecutions. this talk has been the kind of stuff that we have seen since the fbi had a warrant on mar-a-lago. steve bannon has a megaphone. he actually has an audience.
5:39 am
this is top that we are hearing in the political system that is charged with possible violence. there is the talk of death and killing. it is changing our dialogue. >> i think that is right. it is not just the search in mar-a-lago. i think that it was written through the postelection period that led up to the events of january 6th. it is an unfortunate piece of the world that we are living in right now in this current political era. mr. trump, his supporters, the people surrounding him, they are routinely using language about political violence that normalizes the notion that these disputed are not to be settled at the ballot box, through the courts, through some physical means. i agree that it is extremely dangerous because we are in a large country with hundreds of millions of people. there is a wash in access to guns. >> thank you to the two of you

has a new king. all morning, we've been watching the various ceremonies that need to take place after a british monarch died. the new one is assured in. this is something we have not seen for 70 years. earlier today, king charles iii, his queen consort and the prince of wales, they all appeared before key members of the british government. the new monarch was officially proclaimed. king charles about the dedicated of his life to serve in the commonwealth. the king has been receiving an overwhelming out pouring of support. there are also questions about the kind of leader that he is going to be and whether he is up to the task. >> chris is with me from live outside of buckingham palace. that is where we are sharing our duties morning in hush in the show. she joined molly hunter. she is also in london this morning. molly, good morning. thank you too for being with us. king charles has been in the public eye for his entire life. now he is carrying. what is the sense of how he is going to fit into these new
5:45 am
shoes? >> yeah. good morning to you both. the jury is still out. we do not know. neither do a lot of people that i spoke with. we went out yesterday to speak with a lot of specifically young people. people around my age younger. most people in this country have only known one ma monarch. charles does not have a blank slate. people know. him people know what he has stood for, worked for. he likes climate change, environmental causes. he asked people what they what it wanted to see from king charles to really harness that loyalty. we heard two things. one, he does not let go of some of the amazing environmental work that he has done for decades. he did it before it was cool he did it before it was on the front pages. there is a sense that that is an issue that resonates really well with the younger generation. the second thing, ali, i heard a lot about the fact that they want to see more william and kate. they want to see the prince and princess of whales in the spotlight, the forefront.
5:46 am
the younger generation really brought up two more prominent roles. whether or not he is going to be the king that they expect it, everyone was a little bit uncertain. >> yeah. molly, there is a period of adjustment, by? we are fitting into these shoes. we just saw a voters go by. i could not tell who it might be. we know that he is expected to me right now with the arc bishop of canterbury, the british prime minister, any opposition leaders. he may have known people for many years. there is this period of reestablish in with people and government, with world leaders. he may have met them as parents. he also needs to make amends with the people that are lined up here. >> yeah. absolutely. it will be very interesting to watch his relationship with the new head of government. the prime minister, lustrous. we have been talking about this. the united kingdom is in the period of intense change right
5:47 am
now. a new kind of government. those things are separate in this country. both of them have to get together to lead this country through this uncertain period. people voiced a real anxiety to me. they are headed into a colder winter. there is an energy crisis looming. there is inflation. just like there is another part of this world right now. they are really hoping that king charles and prime minister trust our steady hands to lead them through. they are missing the constant presence of the queen. as you mentioned, cain's mud and where there is travis and her cabinet. he is also meeting with the opposition politicians. he met with lustrous yesterday. but on means that he is getting down to business. >> molly, thank you for that. chris, we will be staying with you over the next two and a half hours or so. we continue our special coverage of this. molly, thank you. a closer look at a special relationship between the united states and great britain. chris is going to have an important interview with

5:50 am
and save at trelegy.com. welcome back to this special hour of velshi. i am live from london. as they mourn the loss of their queen, as the world looks back on her historic reign, i am joined now by matthew. he served as u.s. ambassador to the united kingdom from 2013 to 2017. before that, he served as the american ambassador to sweden. he is the author of the book called the power of giving power away. how the best leaders learn to let go. ambassador, thank you so much for being with us. you met the queen in your role as ambassador. is i see this steady stream of thousands of people lined up behind me, what was it about the queen?
5:51 am
she has so many people sad to see her go. >> i mean, that is right. gosh, it was so many things. i have been listening to so many heartfelt tributes to her, to her leadership style. there was a quote. i worked as the ambassador. every morning, i would walk by the 9/11 memorial in britain. it is in the square where the old american embassy was. on top of, it is a beautiful quotation from queen elizabeth that says, grief is the price we pay for a lot of. grief is the price we pay for love. in different ways, we are all rationally with grief. with it, we have a lot of gratitude. what a life. what a loss for everybody. i think she really held up these old and important values of decency, dignity, duty to country. sometimes, if you look over
5:52 am
those 70 years on both sides of the atlantic, it seems like she single-handedly held those up. >> it may sound trivial. one of the people that iran met an hour or so ago, she was very well dressed. i asked her if she was going somewhere else. she told me that she had addressed this way and respect for the queen. i said, really, why? she always dressed for us. there is a certain reverence for the rest back that she felt. it was definitely a different kind of leadership. you tweeted yesterday that queen elizabeth was the world's greatest leader. she was hiding in plain sight. elaborate on that. >> as i was saying before, she was there for 14 american presidents, 15 prime ministers, six popes. there was this one -- 59 started quarterback for the
5:53 am
cleveland browns in that time period. i know. she was able to, another where the comes up a lot is steadfast. i think there are two ways to think about steadfast. one could be fixed ever-changing, that was not her lesson as a leader. she was always changing along with the public. at the public change, she never change. she kept with it. as one person put it, she was a rolling renegotiation of what it means to be a monarch in a constitutional monarchy, what it means to be a head of state with the commonwealth. she oversaw this move from the empire to the commonwealth. it was a move around the world of the pendants to the world of independents. i think that she released at four and three defendants. we are not free from one another, but we are free with
5:54 am
and 31 another. that is one of her many incredible attributes that i hold on to. >> what will you be watching for with the new came? we mentioned the fact that he may now be in. he was scheduled to be in meetings with the archbishop of canterbury. also what the prime minister any opposition leader. we never saw inside of those meetings between equine and prime ministers. they spoke in cryptic language about it over the years. most of us are seeing what we saw with the crown. that is our impression of it. what will you be watching for with king charles as he tries to fill those formidable shoes of his mother? >> i am a big fan of the tv shown. it is fictionalized. i got to see the wheel king charles, prince charles was at the time. i saw him many times. in particular, he became to my adopted hometown of louisville, kentucky. he did a full day of
5:55 am
programming. i got to be with him at 12 different round tables. we're talking about clean air, water, soil. there was a whole range of topics. as you would expect, he came well briefed. he had formal remarks. he was off the cuff. he would respond and think out loud with these wonderful other leaders. what i was really impressed by the end of this whirlwind was his ability to listen. he was an active listener. that is a buzzword in corporate america. he really does it. i think that is an important attribute as he moves forward. he will have to continue in a different way, in his way. he has this role of renegotiation. he has the ability to change and not -- he can be strong for the ability to change, not being brittle. he will do this in his own way. >> this appropriate we are showing those pictures the block about yesterday.
5:56 am
