This is John Batchelor, conversation with my good colleague Gregory Coppley of Defense and

Foreign Affairs about the King and his role in quieting or speaking to or appealing to justice and decency during the recent riots that were

triggered by unknowns. Perhaps the weather, perhaps the crime triggered thoughts of mayhem unknown.

Mob's has been pointed out to me take a life of their own and there's a gooniness to it that doesn't stand reason afterwards. But the king

spoke and the people listened all across the country. The riots stopped thanks to the counter demonstrators who were no doubt

heartened by the king. So again, where he and I debate monarchy. And my regret in my seniority that America does not participate in the Commonwealth

and have a king, recognize a king, a or queen, a monarch who is not part of the political discussion, head of state, not head of government.

That is an advantage that Britain enjoys quite separate from the United States's

prosperity. Also the driver for the mob in part was immigration which is not checked anywhere

especially not in England which is extraordinary given that it has a very

dangerous channel between it and the mainland.

In any event, it is a unsolved problem for the new government.

And Gregory also makes clear that Starmer the new government and Gregory also makes clear that Starmer the new government

are anti- monarchist odd. You don't know what you've got to you give it away.

Charles did the right thing, good for Charles, good for the people

who listen to him, and Sir Karest Armour consider how lucky you are to have a king.

Once upon a time he was my king, our king.

And a few unhappy conversations with Benjamin Franklin and others led to the present circumstance. Two people separated by a common

language and joined in memories of the past. Here's Gregory Coppley on the monarchy, the riots, Starmer, and what is to be done.

More of this later tonight. There's no question about it, John.

I'm not sure whether having a king is now feasible for the North, for the United States.

It's certainly been feasible for Canada all these years and it's important that the king maintains his position in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
