>> IT’S A PLEASURE, MY PLEASURE.
>> Laura: WOODY THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Laura: JOINING ME NOW SOMEONE
WOODY JUST MENTIONED FORMER
SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO
DISTINGUISHED FELLOW AND THE
HUDSON INSTITUTE AND FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR.
MR. SECRETARY, WE’RE OBVIOUSLY
SEEING A SHIFT IN GOVERNANCE IN
THE UK WITH THE NEW PRIME
MINISTER LIZ TRUSS ONLY TWO DAYS
INTO THE OFFICE NOW WITH KING
CHARLES.
HOW MONUMENTAL A WEEK IS THIS,
NOT JUST FOR THE UK BUT FOR THE
ENTIRE, YOU KNOW, WESTERN ORDER
GIVEN THE PASSING OF THE QUEEN?
>> WELL, I HAD A CHANCE TO GET
TO KNOW THE QUEEN JUST A LITTLE
BIT.
I JUST HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET
HER ONE TIME.
SHE WAS A REMARKABLE WOMAN WHO
HAD GIVEN SO MUCH OF HER LIFE TO
TRUE SERVICE, LAURA.
HER COMMITMENT TO OTHERS,
COMMITMENT TO COUNTRY BEFORE
SELF.
SHE SACRIFICED SO MUCH IN HER
OWN PERSONAL LIFE.
I PRAY THAT THE UNITED KINGDOM
WILL HAVE, AND KING CHARLES THE
SAME THING AND THAT NEW PRIME
MINISTER TRUSS WILL HAVE
OPPORTUNITY, SHE WON’T HAVE THE
BENEFIT OF 70 YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE THROUGH THICK AND
THIN, GOOD TIMES AND BAD, PRIME
MINISTERS FROM THE LEFT AND THE
RIGHT, BUT THIS WILL CHANGE
LEADERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
THERE WAS JUST NOT INSIDE THE
UNITED KINGDOM THAT THE QUEEN
WAS IMPORTANT.
SHE WAS IMPORTANT TO LOTS OF
DIFFERENT PEOPLE, LOTS OF
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
SHE UNDERSTOOD DEDICATION AND
SERVICE IN A WAY THAT I THINK
AND I PRAY OUR NATION WILL GET
BACK, PEOPLE WHO CARE DEEPLY
ABOUT OUR COUNTRY AND ARE
WILLING TO FIGHTED FOR IT THE
SAME WAY THE QUEEN WAS WILLING
TO FIGHT FOR HER COUNTRY AND
LEADERS.
SHE WILL BE MISSED.
>> Laura: I WAS JUST SPEAKING
EARLIER ABOUT THE IDEA OF
CHANGING DEFINITION OF CHANGES,
VALOR GUTSYNESS AND SHE REALLY
EMBODIED THE TRUE DEFINITION OF
THOSE THINGS WHERE TODAY, YOU
KNOW, YOU’RE GUTSY FOR SAYING
YOU WANT MORE ME TIME OR SAYING
YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE SELF CARE.
LIKE THAT’S A GUTSY THING TO SAY
IN THE WORKPLACE.
BUT TO ME THERE’S A NOSTALGIA
HERE BUT IT’S MORE THAN THAT.
YOU TALK TO A LOT OF YOUNG
PEOPLE TODAY, THEY HAVE
AFFECTION FOR HER.
SO THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT
BEYOND JUST THE POMP AND
CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT ABOUT HER AND
WHAT SHE REPRESENTED THAT I
THINK THERE’S AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT
OF AFFECTION FOR.
>> LAURA, I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT.
I THINK ALL GENERATIONS COULDIE
SEE HOW STEADY SHE WAS.
I THINK WE ARE LOOKING FOR
SERIOUS LEADERS WHO ARE STEADY
AND WHO ARE PREPARED TO STAND
FOR THE VALUES AND THE
INSTITUTIONS AND TO DEFEND THEM
VIGOROUSLY, NOT JUST WITH A
TWEET OR A SNIDE REMARK SOME
PLACE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT BY
REAL SERVICE, REAL WORK, REAL
DEDICATION, REAL WISDOM, REAL
EXPERIENCE, REAL KNOWLEDGE.
THINGS THAT THIS QUEEN CERTAINLY
HAS AND WE SEE LACKING TOO OFTEN
AROUND THE WORLD, BOTH ON THE
WORLD STAGE AND HERE AT HOME.
>> Laura: COULD YOU IMAGINE THE
QUEEN EVER DISPARAGING HER OWN
COUNTRY?
WHETHER IT’S THE HISTORY OF THE
COUNTRY OR FORMER LEADERS OF THE
COUNTRY PUBLICLY THE WAY IT’S
DONE SO GLIBLY AND CASUALLY
TODAY IN THE UNITED STATES BY SO
MANY PEOPLE OF INFLUENCE?
>> UNIMAGINABLE.
AND SEVEN DECADES ON, IT NEVER
HAPPENED.
SHE NOT ONLY WAS UNAPOLOGETIC
ABOUT HER ROLE AND HER PLACE AND
HER COUNTRY’S PLACE IN THE WORLD
BUT REMEMBER WE’RE JUST A COUPLE
DAYS OUT FROM 9/11, I REMEMBER
THE QUEEN AT 9/11 AS WELL.
SHE UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAD BEEN PUT
UPON THE WORLD.
SHE UNDERSTOOD THE UNITED
KINGDOM’S RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP
AMERICA RESPOND TO WHAT HAD
HAPPENED, TO OUR CITIZENS THAT
DAY.
SHE WAS STEADFAST IN PROTECTING
FREEDOM AROUND THE WORLD
WHEREVER IT WAS THREATENED.
>> Laura: SHE LOVED REAGAN, SHE
HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH
REAGAN, JOHN PAUL II.
OBVIOUSLY SHE AND TRUMP GOT
ALONG REALLY WELL.
WOODY AND I WERE JUST TALKING
ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Laura: I WANT TO YOU PLAY YOU
SOME OTHER REACTION TO HER DEATH
FROM SOME CORNERS WAS A BIT ODD
MR. SECRETARY.
HERE’S FORMER OBAMA OFFICIAL AND
JOURNALIST RICK STINGLE.
>> BRITISH COLONIALISM WHICH SHE
PRESIDED OVER FOR YEARS HAD A
TERRIBLE AFFECT OVER THE WORLD.
THERE’S A STILL A CASHING THAT
YEARNS FOR THAT VERY THING THAT
WE ESCAPED FROM.
>> Laurie: WHAT ON EARTH IS HE
TALKING ABOUT?
I MEAN, THEY HAVE CONTEMPT FOR
ANYTHING ATTACHED TO TRADITION,
PERIOD, END OF STORY.
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> YOU’VE GOT IT EXACTLY RIGHT.
THIS IS AN ATTACK ON THE
FOUNDATIONAL IDEAS OF OUR
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT SYSTEM.
WE HAVE NO MONARCHY HERE WE
SPLIT AWAY FROM THAT A COUPLE
HUNDRED YEARS PLUS AGO.
IN OUR COUNTRY IT’S OUR
CONSTITUTION AND OUR FOUNDING.
THOSE ATTACKS WOULD BE EXACTLY
THE SAME ON OUR INSTITUTION THE
THING WE WILL HOLD DEAR.
KIND OF A MARXIST ATTACK, THAT’S
A BIZARRE STATEMENT FROM THE
LEFT WHO JUST LITERALLY REJECTS
HISTORY AND TRADITION AND VALUES
AND VIRTUES IN THE WAY WE ALL
HAVE DELIVERED NOT ONLY FOUR OUR
COUNTRY BUT THE UNITED KINGDOM
AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR
COUNTRIES AS WELL.
>> Laura: MR. SECRETARY THEY’RE
GOING TO BE REALLY MISERABLE THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS ALL THE
CEREMONIES AND SO FORTH THEY’LL
