• 0:13

• 0:16

  Speaker 3: Hell low A level low. We were a little rushed yesterday,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: weren't we? That Rosanna Scott dragged me away from my
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: first love usage Oh.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I love you too? That was Yeah, she's a lot
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: of nerve that though, Rosanna.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Scotta, I'm gonna go to Fresco today and start throwing
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: dishes all around.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: No, no, she, I know you did a great job
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with her and Natasha, who loves you too, and you know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: let's get right to it. The King I thought was
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: great when he spoke in front of Congress the day
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: before in DC. But yesterday he had the chance to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: come here. He went to the nine to eleven Sacred
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Site and I was wipe ended up in Harlem. They
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: had a great dinner last night. What were your impressions,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Rob Shooter of the King's day specifically here in New
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: York City.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: In New York City, I give him an a plus.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: This is Charles at his best. This is a queen
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: at her best. This is the secret weapon of the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: British British Empire. These two know how to do it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: They know how to turn off, they know how to
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: be chatty, they know how to be gracious. He's a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: funny guy. So I know people who work at the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Palace and they say, sometimes when you see these politicians,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: sometimes you see him on TV and they're a little stiff,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: not that funny, don't have that much personality, they said,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes, Charles is a really good guy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: He likes to laugh, He likes bawdy jokes. He was
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: friend with Joan Rivers for decades. They were really close friends.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: And so I think we got to see a side
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: of Charles on this trip that very few people outside
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: the palace ever get to see. And it's a charming,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: charming Charles.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I hope we get to see more.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I told you this yesterday. The way he spoke about
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: President Trump, they tried to kill him again in DC
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: two days ago. The way he talked about nine to eleven,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we were with you then, he said, we're with you now.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And a lot of politicians say a.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Lot of stuff. But maybe he's maybe he's got me full.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But I really believe that King Charles, because his mom
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: loved President Trump as well in this country, I really
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: believe he's being sincere.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Yes he is. I can tell you that he absolutely is.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I've been reading nonsense out there that he's not enjoying himself,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that he's only here because the British government made him
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: do it. Absolutely nonsense. The King has been having a ball.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: You can see it in his eyes and the way
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he speaks and the way he walks. This is a
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: sick man. This is a man who still has cancer,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is in his seventies, and he is having the time
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of his life. I saw them yesterday. I saw them
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: downtown at the nine to eleven Memorial, and what dignified
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: grace they had. Over two hundred Brits were killed on
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that horrific day, three thousand other beautiful souls, and it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: really touching. They left not only flowers, they had a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: personal most. I saw the note they wrote a little
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: card and they left that and then they went about
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: their day. She went to the library and read books
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to kids. He went up to Harlem where he fed
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the chickens, and then there was a big event late
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: last night at Christians. It was just a great, great day.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And their special friendship with America is real. It's absolutely real.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: It's not fake. It's not about getting Americans to pay
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: for stuff, or it's not about abusing American power or wealth.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: There's a genuine friendship there. And yes, one of the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: friends might be much more powerful America. One of the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: friends might have a lot more money America. But that's
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: like you and n sid'a too powerful. But I love you.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure it's cut more.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I did want to ask about Mike Bloomberg because I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: don't know much about the King, but I did notice
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: when I was watching the pregame ceremonies before they started
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the whole thing that the guy that was standing next
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to King Charles most of the time and talking was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Mike Bloomberg.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Is there a friendship there? I don't know.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I don't They've known each other for a while and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: because Bloomberg is such a business leader, he has lots
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of interest in Britain and around the world. And let's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: be honest here, somebody had to stand next to him
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and was current there wasn't going to be the person
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to do right.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Well, well, you know it's funny you bring up Yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I know you know how much I hate them may
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and I use that word I hate him, No, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hate his guts, I hate I hate every everything about
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I hate and for this idiot.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You got the king here, who was gracious enough to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: come down to that site where again you mentioned I've
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: said it ten times the last couple of days, three
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: thousand beautiful souls perished just for going to work. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: instead of talking about how happy was the king was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: here and at this solemn site, he brings up a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: crown jewel. He says the king should give it back.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: By the way, there are four different countries four India, Afghanistan,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Pakistan and Iran will all take claim to this crown jewel.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Why would this moron, this mayor bring that up? Bring
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that up as the one question he would ask King Charles. Now,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: thank god he didn't have a chance. There was no
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: one on one with the idiot mayor and the king.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: But why would the mayor even bring that up?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Because he's throwing red leaves to his base and it's
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: just so ungracious and it's not the right moment and Ultimately,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: he did have a minute with the King. I saw
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: him on the arrival line and he was giddy. He
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: was giggling. He bottles it. If you're going to say it,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: say it like you mean it. Remember, Wendy Williams is
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to say that I have the balls to do it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: He didn't. And it's such a wild, untrue claim. And
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it's nothing to do with the king. That is the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: mayor going to get to the met Museum and send
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: back all the Egyptian arf and the Temple of Dan
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: door and you know it's a very very slippery slope
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that he's getting on. But just just a moment that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you know. It was not gracious, It was not a
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: shining howr but he didn't put a damper on this
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: really mad, nificent day. I can't say it enough. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: hit the phones this morning, said and I spoke to
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: people in Whitehall, that's like the British governments, that's where
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the center of government is in London. They're thrilled. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: spoke to my mom. She's thrilled. The public is thrilled.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Childs has been in the shadows of his magnificent mother,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: but his whole life, how could you not be Queen
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Elizabeth was one of the great and I think finally,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: after a few years, he's finally stepping out of that shadow.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And yesterday we got to see him as a man,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: him as a king, not as the son to this
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: wonderful queen.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: True.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And you know again you mentioned his mother, and William
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of course is in line to take over when that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: time comes. But the last time you were on got
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about a month ago. We were talking about the relationship
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: between Harry and his father, Meghan, and there was some
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: thought that when the King came to New York that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was going to be his reunion chance with his son Harry.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And then I found out like three days ago, right
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: before he got here, that there was not going to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: be a reunion. And I guess the relationship between the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: King and his young son is still very strained.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It's worse than ever. So my reportion was about a
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: month ago. The team six for the Sixes people and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: the Palace people, the King's people. We're talking, he's going
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to be here for four days. Harry and Meghan don't
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: like President Trump. He doesn't like them. They didn't want
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to get to Washington, so there was plans to get
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: them to New York. Harry and Meghan love New York.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: They're in New York quite a bit, and so the
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: King the Queen were going to be in New York
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: for the whole day. There was time on that schedule
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: to carve out an hour to meet and they really
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: were discussing it. And then Harry and Meghan went to
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Australia and they did this quasi royal tour for four days.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: They swamed around like royals, and on the fifth day
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: they made a lot of money. And this is exactly
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: what the Queen did not want. She didn't want part
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: time royals. She said, you can't be a royal for
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: three days and then make money on day four. Can
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you imagine if after this visit the King tried to
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: sell us a potter jam it changed everything. It just
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: changes what the visit is. Wouldn't you bring money into it?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: And so this really really annoyed that the just to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: stick it to his dad when his dad was practically
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: on the play and flying over the Atlantic Ocean. Where
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: did Harry go the Ukraine? What are you doing? Why
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: are you in Ukraine? And then a final little gig
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: on Friday on the cover of people magazine. Shame on People.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: It's not the King, it's Harry and Meghan. They ran
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: to People magazine to do a story. They just are
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: petty And what the shining light is though, the silver
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: lining is nothing Harry and Meghan did in Australia or
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: him in Ukraine can possibly compete to what we saw
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: over the last of State dinner pee with the White
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: House with Milania and mister Trump and then coming to
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: New York, let them be, let them do their thing,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: and will do this and you can see the difference.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Cut them off.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Last one here, Robert, and that is I had something
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the Israeli newspaper.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Called me yesterday and they asked me for a quote.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And the quote was about the comparison antemitism New York
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and London, because yesterday, just like on Young Kapoor, two
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Jewish people were stabbed to death in the city of London. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I can't count on your happy Prime Minister Starmer to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: say anything good. He'll go up there a whole life
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for a couple of seconds. He doesn't feel it in
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: his heart. So what exactly is going on? I've been
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to London many times. My daughter graduated from Corn up
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in Wales. I've seen it. I know anti Semitism is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a huge issue, and it's right there on Paul with
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: New York. How much of an issue is that for you?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Do you guys talk about that back at home?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really rough. I worry about my Jewish friends.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I worry about my Jewish family members. It's really rough.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: But it's not just Britain, this is Europe. Friends of
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: mine in Paris don't feel safe wearing a yamaca any longer.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: It is something that is so ugly and it has
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: gone unchecked for so long that he has taken roots
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: like I have never seen in my lifetime. I've always
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: seen Jewish jokes, anti Semitism, little digs here there. This
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: isn't that anymore. The gen the hate genie has been
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: released from the bottle in Europe, and I hope they
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: can put this genie bat in, which we know is
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: really difficult once it escapes, once you let it run
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: ravage over a city, over a country, over Europe. It's rough.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: It's rough, and I wish I could say it's going
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to stop quickly. I don't see it unless we have leaders.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And this is really what leaders do. This is why
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: elections are virtually so important. They set the tone and
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: they decide. It's like having a good head master at
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: a school. One trouble starts. You knitted in the budget,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: have to they now have a real problem. It's heartbreaking.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: You know. We see it here in New York. You've
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: talked about it on your show. It's worse over there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: It's worse.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: It is No, you're right.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And we went to Europe for a week before you've
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: graduated last July, and we spent time in Paris and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: it was unrecognizable to me. I swear, I mean the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: shops are still there and unrecognizable. You walk around London,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you walk around Paris, you may as well be in Pakistan.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: What the hell is going on? Rob?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You are beautiful, You're great. I've been watching all your
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: stop online with Channel Bad. I'm be great here, So
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: keep coming back and good luck with the new book.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: How's that going?
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's doing great. So I knew I had a
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: big enough fan base to sell books. I know it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: going to be okay. People like you have helped me
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Rosanna as a Good Morning America, so I know it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: going to be okay. Then I sat down with our
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: friend Megan Kelly, and she put me into a different
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: stratosphere more in Callahan. It's another friend of mine who
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: just helps and says, Now I'm in the top ten
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: on Amazon, I'm officially a best selling author. And did
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: you know you know your fancy when Fifth Avenue, Barnes
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: and Noble asked me to do a sign and I
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: hope you're first online, seid. Wow, yeah, so it's really
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: going great when I haven't got a date yet, but
