  Speaker 2: Hey, hello, Hello, thanks for coming. It's really nice. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: feel like living room.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We have a new duchess, Duchess the Duchess, she's royal.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I brought you some biscuits as well, would you like
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's a real British biscuit,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: but we got it from Target.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: So delicious.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You know the royals are in town, Yes, they are.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: How exciting? So who controls the you know, the headlines
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: out of that, because you know what the.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Royal the machine.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: In fact, they have an event. We can gossip here,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: can we? We have the gossip had an event tomorrow
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: night in New York for the King's Trust. I know
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: that Anna Winter is going to be there. I know
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: that Martha Stewart's going to be there. And then I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: did laugh because somebody asked the King's people what time
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the King would walk the red car right, and they
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, no, he doesn't walk red carpets. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they have all these protocols. Yeah, they've got the photographers.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: It has to be an official royal photographer. So they
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: move as a machine. They're like they Beyonce of of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like organizations like they don't that's about this is how
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: they do it. And so yeah, they're they're in DC today.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: On a mission, on a pair of the relationship with
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the United it's working.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Like he is a king.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I've met him a few times.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I've made a lot of celebrities. It's different. He's a king.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah, decades of history there and you know, you
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: think of Amne Boleyn, or you think of Henry the eighth,
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: or like Williman, like Queen Victoria, like they're his relatives.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Like they're not just people that had the job before him.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: They're relatives like with presidents. You know, you look back
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in Washington Amazing and Jefferson, but they're not related to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the current president that is hold the same same position.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And so I think sending the king is really smart
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: at the tensions between Britain and America, and Britain America
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: really and a lot of Europe. It's really tense.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Good stuff right there. That's Natasha Verma.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I did beat her at the Plaza Hotel a couple
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: of months ago.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: At the Well I forgot the name of the organization.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: It's my friends Tim McCarthy and Scott Herman and Natasha
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: was there. She's on Channel five locally. She does a
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: podcast and she had Rob Shooter on. Shooter has been
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: on this show many, many times. I'm not sure who
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Rob likes more. Mio Rosanna Scatto. I think it's close.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: His new book is out.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: It's called It Started with a Whisper, based on one
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: thousand true stories. He is the gossip king. He's also gay,
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: so he's also the gossip queen here. He is my
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: friend Rob Shooter, friend Jess, who I.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Was sitting next to ten minutes ago. I'm at the studio,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Good Day New York. I'm going live in fifteen minutes,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and Rosanna sends her love.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I love her so much.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I do you know she wants me on that show
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: so badly because I am New York.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I'm New York.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Okay, nobody but her producer somebody there despises me, doesn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: dislike me. They feel about me like Cole Allen feels
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: about Trump. So I can't get on that show. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: can't get on, which is fine.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: You're there, so no, no, I'm would have fixed that,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: my friend. I'm here right now to talk about royals.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: But before I took to row and talking to you,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: which says I love you more.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Well, I love you too, So let's get right to it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: You've met the King, which is really cool. I like him,
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: by the way.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I like him.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: He was terrific yesterday he had some hotboat words for
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: the President after the assassination attempt. He and the President
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: actually said, King Charles got the Democrats to stand and applause.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: I could never do that. I thought his day in Washington,
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: d C. Was about as good as it could be yesterday.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You yeah, a home run. I spoke to Brits this
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: morning in Whitehall, but Government offices in London, and they're thrilled.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: This is what and does really well, this is what
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the King does. He's underestimated. He's always been in the
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: shadow of his mother, and now he got to stand
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: in his blue spotlight and they are thrilled. He was charming,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: he was funny, and they really do get along. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: know people who are traveling with the King and they
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: said that he really does enjoy mister Trump. He enjoys
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the President, and so he's having a ball. I think
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: when you're having a good time on a work trip,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: it does show. And so I think yesterday was pretty
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: much a home run for both the US and the UK.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: We were in this together yesterday, agreed.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: And look, he's been here nineteen times, He's now visited
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: nine presidents, standing back to Eisenhower. But there's a special
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: band between him and President Trump because it goes back
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: to his mother, the Queen, who spoke here lest before
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: the King did last night in nineteen ninety one.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: She loved President Trump. She loved them.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's it's such a deep, deep relationship they
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: have that the President spoke yesterday, he made the King laugh.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He said, my mother, may she rest in peace. He
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: used to always watch the royal family on television, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the late Missus Trump that the President's mother had a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: crush on Charles when he was younger. Well blushed away,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: but sort of loved it. And so it was just
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a great, great moment. The King looked great. I think there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I think that the President was having a great time too,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and so a total home run. They're friends, they've they've
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: they've developed this relationship over over time and now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: They are mates and that's why when you look Rob
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: Shooter at what Stormer, the Prime Minister has done, turning
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: his back on America during this Iran conflict and turning
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: his back on Israel.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Just he's turned out to be a really bad guy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: And there's no question, there's no question that the relationship
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: between the United States and the UK is strained at
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the very least. So I know, King Charles, this is
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: on the docket for a while, come celebrate two fifty.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: But there's no question that the King is here trying
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: to repair whatever the Prime Minister Starmer has destroyed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's right, that's what That's exactly what he's doing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I think he's doing a great job of it. That
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: they must see is what happens when he leaves. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: so I hope that we keep this momentum going. But
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: it's a tough time, like these two countries that should
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: be joined at the hid are going through a difficult period.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: What this reminded me of was when Reagan and Margaret
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Thatcher had that wonderful relationship. That's what this felt like.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: A guy, God, you are so right, that's the perfect reference. Yes,
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Reagan and Thatcher with Trump and King Charles. So today,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: as you know, Rob, you're a New Yorker, King Charles
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: will make his way to that sacred site, that sacred
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: ground that I talked about up for the first fifty
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: minutes of today's show. It breaks my heart that this
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: mayor is going to be there, this radical Islam America
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: hating mayor. And I said, it's hard for mom Donnie
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: to say, never forget because he never knew. But in
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: King Charles's case, you know, he wasn't here, but he knows.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: And I do believe that people around the world we
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: were shot.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, horried.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: He feels it in his heart, like today, he wanted
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to do this. The King did. This is on the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: King's schedule. He also, too, is a real stickler for
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: doing things by the book. And to go there today
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: and not have the mayor of New York would not
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: feel right. So I don't think this is about inviting
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: this mayor. It's about inviting a mayor.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So I think Bloomberg's going to be there too. They're
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: going to have limited interaction. There are some reports they
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: have in a meeting. That's not true. They are not
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: having a meeting, but they will be there together this morning,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and I think the writing to do a trip to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Harlem as well. And then tonight around four five o'clock
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: there's a big party that christis to celebrate the king.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Ganna Winter is going to be there, Martha Stewart and
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: maybe your friend Rob Shoter.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: You gotta be there, No, come on, you gotta be.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: There, Roub, I think I'm gonna do it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Wait, where's it going to be?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: What call you by Rocket Teller Center?
