| 0:00.0 | I'm John Batchel with Gregory Copley, Defense and Foreign Affairs, our favorite segment of the week. |
| 0:09.0 | The King Charles Report, Gregory is the author of Noble State, which is an appraisal of constitutional monarchy. |
| 0:16.0 | That meaning that there's a head of state and there's a head of government and that Twain do not mix. |
| 0:21.6 | Right now, the king has a heavy lift continuing. |
