the day with pierce morgan host of piers
morgan uncensored on fox nation good
morning probably good afternoon where
you are pierce morning what is it over
there
good morning good morning to you good
afternoon to any brits who are watching
you longing for their homeland
i i we have huge ratings all across the
world we often talk about our ratings in
america but we should talk more about
the fact that people all across the
world watch fox that's true so you're
right i appreciate you welcoming in
brits who are watching as well this
afternoon piers um big numbers over here
at fox not big numbers for joe biden
latest approval rating shows 39 percent
with a 56 percent disapproval rating
that's essentially inverse from he where
he was right one year ago yeah it's
flipped
um it's tanking piers why
well it's a complete disaster as a
presidency so far and he's running out
of time to fix it you know joe biden was
supposed to be this great unifying
president uh replacing the chaotic trump
era as the democrats saw it he was going
to calm things down bring the country
together i don't think america has ever
felt more divided frankly so he's failed
on that uh that first ambition that he
had but secondly the way that he's
running the country both domestically
and internationally i think is deeply
flawed you can see from this poll that
he's being hammered on the economy and
inflation and yet he seems completely
deluded and keeps saying my policies are
helping the economy well they're not
helping the economy they're clearly
making things worse on the international
stage i think ever since his uh
catastrophic overnight withdrawal from
afghanistan
i think america has been on the back
foot for the first time that i can
remember probably my lifetime and you
see what then happened with putin
invading ukraine and so on you get a
sense that america is slightly
rudderless and that's a very unusual
position for the leader of the free
world to find itself and ultimately it
falls on joe biden he's the leader he's
the president of the united states and
right now as these polls show people are
not buying it i'm just curious what is
his reputation like in the uk
it's embarrassing i mean to be honest
with you um i like joe biden personally
this is nothing personal at all i
actually feel quite sad about what i'm
witnessing because he seems to be
asleep at the wheel
let's be quite clear when you watch joe
biden performing in public he's nothing
like the fire brand senator of 25 30
years ago he looks like he's feeling and
acting his age and i would compare him
in a way to her majesty the queen who we
all thought was very seriously ill after
she missed the state over opening of the
uk parliament a few days ago and we were
all really worried about what that meant
would she even survive long enough to
enjoy her jubilee because it was so
unprecedented
last night she came out at a live event
to launch the jubilee celebrations over
at windsor a big horse show with lots of
celebrities and she looked absolutely on
top of a game again a remarkable
indomitable spirit but you compare and
contrast her at the age of 96 with joe
biden at the age of 78 and frankly it is
embarrassing she looks to have far more
energy and life about her than the
president does
let's stick with the queen uh because
i'm guessing a lot of our viewers i
wasn't familiar before this segment as
well of what the jubilee is the queen
will be attending a platinum jubilee
celebration celebrities like tom cruise
will be there and it's saluting her 70
years of service so it's already
happened excuse me what was it talk to
me about what this jubilee is and what
it means
well it hasn't actually happened so
you're technically
not wrong yet what it is it's the start
of the celebrations of her platinum
jubilee there'll be a four day
celebration in two weeks time which the
whole country will embrace it and i
think the rest of the world will too and
it celebrates her 70 years on the throne
i think about that for a moment that's
13 years longer than i've been alive uh
certainly a lot longer than any of you
have been alive um and in that time
she's met i think 14 american presidents
14 british prime ministers 100 other
world leaders there was a moment last
night where tom cruise who i guess
is normally the most famous guy in the
room even he had to take a back seat he
attended in person this event and he
said something actually i thought quite
poignant he said what she's achieved uh
her accomplishment is historic she's met
presidents world leaders people from all
walks of life not just americans but the
world knows the dignity devotion and
kindness that is what i've always felt
for her someone that understands her
position and has held it through a
history that's just been extraordinary
for 70 years i thought that perfectly
encapsulated what the queen is about
she's not an elected official it's a
hereditary position she became queen
when she was in her mid-20s and she has
ruled for 70 years making her one of the
longest well certainly longest-serving
british monarch but also one of the
longest-serving leaders of any kind
royal secular religious political that
there's ever been in the history of
planet earth and i think that uh as she
reaches you know towards the end of her
life health has been poor as i said it
is a unique
opportunity i think for the world to
just go you know what whatever your the
thoughts of monarchies and the rest of
it this woman this queen has been
utterly exemplary and a template really
in how to have what i call a stiff
british upper lip you know you never see
her emoting in public she never
complains she never explains she never
gives interviews she's the complete
antithesis of modern day public figures
and celebrities who never can't wait to
tell us all their feelings all the time
she just is there as a constant presence
that we find in our country very
comforting particularly in difficult
times that's wonderfully put pierce um
in a world where we throw away yesterday
like it's garbage you're exactly right
we're looking at a consistency that
spans decades and you just piqued my
curiosity
and i hate to put you on the spot so 70
years puts her in what kind of context
when it comes to the british monarchy
other kings or queens have sat for how
long as compared to the queen
she's the longest reigning british
monarch there's ever been now so she's
truly historic the question really i
guess is is she the greatest i would
argue that she is the greatest i would
also argue that along with sir winston
churchill she's arguably the greatest
briton there's ever been and i think
that's a testament to the
remarkable fact that she hardly ever
puts her foot wrong he literally could
count on one hand anything that would
even constitute a vague error of
judgment in her entire reign and her
entire lifetime and that is so unique
for any public figure you could compare
it to some other great monarchs victoria
queen victoria queen elizabeth the first
uh who many think was was perhaps the
greatest but i would say this queen
elizabeth ii for a number of reasons not
least having to deal with a monarchy
going through the modern world and
social media and all these new pressures
that come onto an institution like that
i think she's been completely exemplary
and i do think from all the american
friends of mine that i have that even if
they don't really believe in what a
monarchy is even if they find it a bit
crazy that you have to bow and scrape to
these people um i think there is a
universal respect for this queen and
what she's achieved and of course it
does raise for us in britain a massive
question mark about what happens when
she's no longer with us and we have to
now think about that which we've never
had to she's clearly showing signs of
her age she's 96 she's been in ill
health and although last night she came
out smiling and beaming and making us
all feel good you know we know the clock
is ticking to a time when we no longer
have her and i think that the whole
future of the british monarchy after the
queen passes is going to be a massively
contentious issue there are a rising
number of people both here and around
the world who think that the monarchy
has had its day that is anachronistic
that you can't have it in a modern
progressive world there are others like
me who think that because it's so unique
uh we are very lucky to have this
monarchy here and i happen to like
prince charles and uh prince william who
will then succeed him but there will be
big question marks make no doubt about
it about whether after this queen passes
whether there should even be a british
monarchy going forward you know over the
weekend i watched a movie about queen
victoria and um gosh what a story what a
love story and we know
i don't know if this is accurate but i
watched the crown and the queen her love
story her love for phillip was very
apparent throughout their lives even
though they struggled in their
relationship a few times but how they
overcame that it was just a beautiful
picture of i love it and i love
following your monarch monarchy but also
someone who is so special
this morning that we want to we want to
mention is your brother because you put
on instagram a beautiful message to him
you said congratulations to my brother
jeremy on his retirement from the
british army today after 37 years of
service to his country including
numerous war zones outstanding military
career outstanding bloke very proud of
you colonel tell us about your brother
yeah he's about a year and a half
younger than me joined the army in his
teens the british army and he went on
this extraordinary adventure around the
world he's he served alongside american
forces in afghanistan in iraq and and
other war zones uh very uh he's been
decorated by the queen actually for his
services to his country um he's he's a
extremely gutsy and like most people in
the military very humble guy uh he's
someone that uh never complains about
his lot even when he's stuck in a tent
and the the howling winds of afghanistan
for six months he never complains he
believes in duty and service very like
the queen in that regard um and i'm very
proud of him we all are on the family
it's an amazing thing isn't it 37 years
serving your country
and i think it's always important to
note these moments he got a big reaction
when i posted that picture which i was
thrilled about but mainly because when i
checked the responses to what i posted
so many of my brother's former
servicemen who'd worked under him uh was
sort of cueing up to pay tribute to what
a great guy he was and that actually
meant so much to him as it would i think
to anybody in the armed forces whether
you're in britain or america or whatever
you know you go through these extremely
tough times in the military you risk
your life for your country and i think
just to give him a day where he was able
to read all these
wonderful tributes from people that he
may not have seen since a battlefield 20
years ago was a special thing for me to
do for him but more importantly a very
special thing for him to be able to read
and i was really glad about that well
congratulations to colonel jeremy morgan
uh an ally of ours across the pond and
after 37 years your twin peers you all
look so much alike great service we
salute him
well he i always say that i got the hair
he got the balls
