elliott, let s talk about these documents. these are the same documents that meadows turned over to the january 6th select committee. what is the significance of them now being shared with the doj? what s the big picture view here? yeah, i think the big picture view, don, is number one, most people actually comply with subpoenas. so much focus has been on who hasn t been complying. at the end of the day, there s a tremendous risk that someone takes by not doing so. i don t know what mark meadows calculation was here, but clearly, the risk of prosecution is pretty great. by not complain. big picture, think about all of the things that text messages to and from mark meadows could provide evidence of help support. obviously, there is the white house s response to violence on the day of january 6th. that certainly the most obvious. then there s the questions of how congress was itself obstructed. as a governmental body or is congress itself. and certainly, questions may have co
that they and their families want to be a part of. don? oh my gosh, those kids are in the little wagon there. they re so cute there all snuggled up and snoozing. good for them. i hope they re staying warm and warm there. standby, not a, i want to bring in neil, how do you explain this incredible showing of people who are filing past the coffin of the late queen, standing in line for hours, and they never even knew her. almost the whole population was born after she came to the throne. so, they ve never known anything else. and she is like part of the furniture, but she s part of the mentally live in. it s like the loss of her is like a wall suddenly falling out of your room. and people felt protective, reassured by her presence. which continuously said,

london mourning the queen, millions of people all over the world are watching including a whole lot of americans. so, what is it about the monarchy that fascinates us? joining me now, shannon felton spence, a former british public affairs official. and frank for hasaka, he is a senior research fellow in history at oxford and the author of the eagle in the crown, americans and the british monarchy. so good to have you on, good evening to both. shannon, americans have been mourning all week along with the uk. why do you think queen elizabeth was so popular in the united states? hi, don, thanks for having me. in many ways, queen elizabeth is the story of the 20th century. and so, the bond that we have with the uk, largely came about after the second world war. and she sort of our bond to the greatest generation.
