WE'RE COMING INTO THE BOTTOM OF
THE HOUR.
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER THERESA
MAY ANNOUNCED SHE WILL BE
RESIGNING JUNE 7TH IN AN
EMOTIONAL ADDRESS.
WATCH.
>> IT IS AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN
A MATTER OF DEEP REGRET TO ME
THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
DELIVER BREXIT.
SUCH A CONSENSUS CAN ONLY BE
REACHED IF THOSE ON ALL SIDES OF
THE DEBATE ARE WILLING TO
COMPROMISE.
-- DEPENDS ON COMPROMISE.
ELIZABETH: JOINING ME NOW IS FOX
NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND MR. BREXIT
HIMSELF, NIGEL FARAGE, THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US.
>> HELLO THERE.
ELIZABETH: YOUR THOUGHTS ON
MAY'S ADDRESS THIS MORNING?
SHE STARTED CRYING AT THE END.
>> WELL, ON A HUMAN LEVEL,
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A VERY
DIFFICULT THING TO WATCH,
PAINFUL, BUT POLITICALLY SHE
MISREAD THE MOOD OF THE COUNTRY.
SHE MISREAD THE MOOD OF HER OWN
PARTY.
A BREXIT BILL THAT WAS A HALF
IN, HALF OUT BREXIT BILL.
WE VOTED TO LEAVE.
WE WANTED A CLEAR DECISIVE LET'S
GET OUT FROM EUROPEAN UNION
RULES SHE TRIED TO KEEP US TOO
CLOSE.
IN THE END, I'M AFRAID IT WAS
HER OWN DOING.
ELIZABETH: WILL CONSERVATIVE
BORIS JOHNSON BE THE NEXT PRIME
MINISTER?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHO WOULD YOU PREFER?
>> WELL, ON SUNDAY NIGHT WE GET
THE RESULT OF YESTERDAY'S
EUROPEAN ELECTIONS.
EVERYBODY IN THE U.K. VOTED
YESTERDAY.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY, LESS
THAN 10% OF THE VOTE.
THE BREXIT PARTY WHICH I FOUNDED
SIX WEEKS AGO BECAUSE I HAD TO
REENTER THE FRAY IS DUE TO TOP
THE POLLS AT 35%.
SO WHOEVER THE CONSERVATIVES
CHOOSE, WHETHER IT'S BORIS
JOHNSON OR NOT, WITHOUT MY
SUPPORT, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
WIN THE NEXT ELECTION.
ELIZABETH: WHO DO YOU PREFER?
>> WELL, ANYBODY.
IT COULD BE BORIS.
ANYBODY THAT SAYS WE ARE LEAVING
THE EU PROMPTLY SO WE'RE FREE TO
DO TRADE DEALS WITH AMERICA OR
ANYBODY ELSE.
BORIS AT THE MOMENT IS THE
FRONT-RUNNER.
LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHAT HIS
PLATFORM IS.
ELIZABETH: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
THE FIRST LADY WILL BE VISITING
BRITAIN IN JUNE.
NOW, ARE YOU PLANNING ON MEETING
WITH THEM BECAUSE THERE'S LOTS
OF TALK THAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS
YOU U TO ATTEND THE STATE
BANQUET IN HIS HONOR?
>> WELL, IT IS A DIFFICULT
QUESTION BECAUSE THE INVITATION
COMES FROM THE QUEEN.
IF THE PRESIDENT WOULD LIKE ME
TO COME, THAT'S GREAT.
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO PUSH IT TOO
HARD BECAUSE I WOULD NEVER EVER
WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT INSULTS
THE QUEEN.
LET'S BE CLEAR.
I KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP WELL.
HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE.
HE WANTS BREXIT SO WE CAN GET
AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, THE
UNELECTED EUROPEAN COMMISSION
AND GET BRITAIN AND AMERICA BACK
CLOSER AGAIN, SO YEAH, I HOPE TO
SEE HIM.
ELIZABETH: DO TRADE DEALS JUST
LIKE NORWAY DOES WITH 150 OTHER
COUNTRIES.
THAT'S SORT OF A MODEL.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
ELIZABETH: THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
PUSHBACK ABOUT THE PRESIDENT'S
VISIT.
HOW WILL THE BRITISH PEOPLE
REACT TO THE PRESIDENT AND FIRST
LADY'S TRIP THERE?
>> WELL, THERE'S ANTITRUMP
MEDIA.
THE TRUTH OF IT IS, TRUMP IS
MUCH MORE POPULAR THAN IT WAS
WHEN HE LAST CAME TO OUR
COUNTRY.
I THINK TO BE HONEST WITH YOU,
HE'S COMING ABOVE ALL TO
COMMEMORATE THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY
OF D-DAY, THE DAY ON WHICH
AMERICA AND THE U.K. AND CANADA,
BETWEEN THEM, LIBERATED EUROPE,
DEFEATED NAZIISM, BROUGHT
DEMOCRACY BACK, AND I THINK
TRUMP IS IN FOR A VERY GOOD
VISIT.
ELIZABETH: YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE
THING, BRITISH PEOPLE IN PRIVATE
HAVE SAID THAT THEY APPRECIATE A
STRONG LEADER, LIKE PRESIDENT
TRUMP, WHETHER YOU DISAGREE OR
AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES, THEY
APPRECIATE THAT HE LOVES HIS
COUNTRY.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, MAY WITH
A SERIES OF PROMISES SHE NEVER
DELIVERED.
DONALD TRUMP LIKE HIM OR NOT WAS
ELECTED, AND AS HE SAID THE
OTHER WEEK HE'S KEPT MORE
PROMISES THAT HE ACTUALLY MADE.
TRUMP, LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM,
HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB.
THE ONE THING I KNOW FOR CERTAIN
IS WE HAVE AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT
WHO LOVES THE UNITED KINGDOM,
RESPECTS OUR HISTORY AND I THINK
WITH BREXIT, OUR TWO COUNTRIES
HAVE GREAT FUTURE TOGETHER.
ELIZABETH: YOU MEANT DEMOCRAT IN
THE LOWER CASE D VERSION OF THE
WORD; RIGHT, NIGEL?
