This might not go well with that. 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.960 Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Concerns already 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.360 Rhodes about them moving back, how they would be received, 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.800 how the press would handle them. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.120 Yeah, you had mentioned from the get go or I 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.599 was excited. I was looking at things through rose colored glasses, 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.240 I guess. And you were worried about Meghan Markle from 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:43.720 the beginning, and I have to admit just reading some 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:48.560 of the comments about her returning to acting, oh are horrific. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:50.000 Really, you have some in front of you, guys. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.760 Again, I can pull them up, Okay, come backlash like 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:54.440 that kind of thing, so books real. 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.720 Yeah, the update here is that the gig we were 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.640 told she was reportedly getting, now we're being told reportedly 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.880 has already been pulled. We'll get into that more in 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.480 a second. But Rother, I wanted to stop because I 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.319 kept hearing these headlines that kept saying backlash, backlash, backlash, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.279 and I don't do as deep as a die sometimes 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.440 on the comments from the public as you often do. 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:12.959 I don't even know where to find them sometimes. But 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.560 can you give me an idea of what kind of 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.120 stuff how this was being received, that she was going 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:19.880 to be in a show and acting again. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:25.800 Yes, people are just awful and I'm relieved, thanks for 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.559 the good news. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.839 This is about her not getting the job. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.039 Reality is that she's infamous and that she has very 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.039 little range as an actor, so they're just going after her. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.000 Then they say, this is really really tough. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.640 But people are just saying that they would refuse. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.400 To watch the show, boycott the show, that they would 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.520 make sure the ratings were as. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.240 As low as possible. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:55.040 People are just making fun of her and calling her 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.840 an actress like in her life that she's tried to put. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.280 On like just it's mean, it's mean. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.320 Not sure how she expected to be embraced by UK 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.160 viewers after she globally trashed their monarchy to improve her 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:09.960 Q score. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:10.799 I just I. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.520 Didn't realize how much people were just sarcastic and callous 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.000 about her. 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.040 That last one. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:20.639 I can kind of understand, Okay, I mean, in all seriousness, 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.040 you were welcome into a family. I understand you had 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.360 your experience, but Robes, did you have to go blast 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.359 the family? I won't even talk shit about your dad 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.839 on his podcast because I need to get along with him, 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.519 right right, I mean just not mister Robot. I don't 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.799 have anything to say. I'm just saying the point there 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.160 is does she really think? And maybe this will take 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:43.480 more time, but Robes, this was self imposed exile. They ran, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.240 they escaped from the UK, and Robes, they said some 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:49.640 stuff about the royal family. 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.560 Even if it's all true. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.280 Yeah, that is as a family member and tough, and 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.799 what are we supposed to say? She has the right 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.880 to say and all this there is some hurt, hurt 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.960 feelings throwing the fact that she doesn't look like the 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.240 rest of them and she has a mountain to climb. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.320 But that last comment, at least I would go okay, 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:12.239 I can actually see why some people are just completely 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:12.720 turned off. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.960 And it's like, just from what I'm I'm reading, people 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:22.720 are it just seems unwilling to even reconsider what they 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.000 think about her. She has no grace, she looks so awkward, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.560 she's out of place next to Harry. That kind of 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:34.480 sounds racist right to me in and of just outside. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.600 I don't even think people realize so much why they 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.360 hate her. I mean, yes, you can point. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.320 To this, but there's just this strange she has a 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:47.360 magnet for hate. I look, I don't feel I'm curious. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.960 I understand why people are upset, but to blame her, 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.280 and to not even bring Harry into it, it's like 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.760 I think he gets a pass, like he's just this 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.920 love sick dummy who does whatever me and old Meghan 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:01.640 makes him do. 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.360 I hate that narrative as well. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.560 But it goes it's easier to understand because he's our 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.720 guy in the UK. He's our guy. Look how he's 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:09.840 been poisoned, Look how. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.040 He's been Right, she's the outsider who came in as 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.640 an outside outsider. Right, This is she's she's bringing. Are 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:18.640 the kids going to be black? 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:19.160 Right? 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.640 Those are the kind of conversations she said was happening 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.200 in Buckingham Palace, for God's sakes. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.640 And yet you have comments even after everybody knows all 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.800 of that. This one just says I have always disliked her? 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:30.880 Why? 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:32.040 And that's okay. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.200 I mean, some people just aren't a cup of tea 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.920 I've just never gone on and written a comment necessarily 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.960 about it. But here we go that challenge. Ro So 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.279 when we heard they were moving back, we said, dear 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.680 Lord Jesus, why you're immediately excited? Oh my, Archie and 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.680 Lilla Beck get to hang out with Charlotte and the 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.920 cousins and all this. That's awesome. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:52.400 I love the. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.760 Possibility of a reconciliation with the UK royal family. Love it, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:56.440 love it, love it. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.120 I don't know why people are against it. I understand 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.479 there were hurt feelings. I am not. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.279 I mean, I think it's a It might be an 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.160 impossible mountain to climb to imagine that William and Kate 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.440 would feel comfortable around them, knowing they write books and 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:11.160 tell interviews. 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:16.000 This is impossible because when you now have to you know, 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.039 because we have been not comparing this in any way, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.520 but in a small, tiny way, we know what it's 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.760 like to not be able to trust people around you 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.320 because you know they have loose lips, because you know 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.800 that they will use something against you, perhaps if you 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:30.560 make them mad. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.880 And I believe Harry more than Megan even has proven 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.400 that he's willing to do that. And so that's why 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.720 could you ever invite them in and feel comfortable, let 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.040 your guard down, tell them what you really think and feel. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:42.560 You can know. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.360 He wrote all the bad stuff that happened, So yes, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.520 on that level it, I get it. But I'm still 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.320 rooting for the best possible scenario where they all can 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.240 at least tolerate each other and the kids who have 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.039 nothing to do with any of this have an opportunity 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.000 to have relationships. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.320 Is the best possible scenario here is that all those 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.040 kids can hang out with Grandpa who's. 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:06.640 Not the great health. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:07.960 Absolutely, and look, if. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.080 You're the grandfather, excuse me, the grandchild of the King 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.200 of England, you should That is just a privilege and 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.200 opportunity that shouldn't be denied to kids. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.200 I just I just is. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.760 And look, whatever you think of Megan, I don't wish. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.440 I don't. I really don't wish anyone a. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.560 Terrible life for someone who has to continually pay for 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.880 something they did wrong. I hate that about our society 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.840 that that just makes us all feel better about ourselves 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.600 to say, shame, shame, shame. But the reality is I 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.520 would love for her to see to find an acting role, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.799 to feel fulfilled, to have Harry feel like he's doing 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.599 what he loves and serving others in his charitable. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.520 Yeah, and I hope that for them, So I guess 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.680 purpose sounds great. I'm a little. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.120 Taken aback by just how people are rooting for their 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.040 continue pain and suffering. 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.920 That part I will never understand. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.360 The part about some people still not being crazy about 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:09.800 these two. 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:11.680 I can understand call for. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.360 A boycott of a show because she's on it, and 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.680 to wish for its ruin and its low ratings because 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:18.600 she's on it. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.840 That is what I don't do. What did she do 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:21.280 to you? 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.560 It doesn't matter if that's the retalities or nation of 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.560 or nature of what social media has brought us. Now 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.920 I don't like somebody I don't even know, I can 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.920 start a campaign to actually impact that person and hurt 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:41.040 that person and cost them a job that I don't know. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.600 We've given that power away. 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.440 We are very much largely out of jobs at ABC 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.240 because not because of something we did, but because of 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:50.920 how it was viewed in the public and how it 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.000 was being talked about to where companies got scared. This 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:58.240 and that's okay, we've experienced, this happened, Should it should permitted? 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:00.080 Oh? 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.160 Yes, this was what day was it, babe? This was 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.360 just two days ago? What was it? She got the gig? 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.040 The news came out I think late Friday that she 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:07.680 got the gig. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.679 It was like, yes, oh, one day she got the gig. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.440 The next day there was such quote intense backlash. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.840 It was reportedly okay. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.560 So the gig was supposed to be a significant one 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.080 on a show called The Gentleman, which is on Netflix, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.920 which is Guy Richie's show stars Theo James. It's been 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.480 on for now two seasons, but the second season hasn't 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.520 started yet. Robes supposed to premiere on September third. I 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.839 do believe the report was that she Megan Marco was 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.440 going to have a significant role in the third season, 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.959 which also hasn't even been announced yet. So this was 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.920 Robes initially started with bubbling up a little bit, but 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.360 then it became more and more real. Hollywood reporters quote, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:09:00.760 Megan is in advanced discussions to join Guy Richie's The Gentleman. Okay, 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.080 roads a lot of people applaud it. This gives her 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.200 a purpose and this also if she has something to 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.400 do there. This was probably easier for her to say, okay, 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:09.320 Harry let's go back. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:15.280 Yes, I was excited again. I'm shocked at how many people. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:21.079 Felt the exact opposite, to the point that they created 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.240 a campaign of hate and it just canceled. 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.520 Culture just took over. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.400 And I think the sad thing is we see these 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:35.200 companies respond and empower these I don't know if it's 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.959 the vocal minority. It sounds like maybe it was a 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.400 vocal majority. But look, I don't think the majority of 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:44.480 people right in and make comments and let their feelings 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.600 be known. I think the majority of people, I do believe, 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.280 are willing to give people a second chance. 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:50.640 But because the. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:55.200 Folks who aren't like that, who are the vocal, who 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.680 will go on and just slander and attack and threaten 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.800 come companies, that they end up being wildly empowered by 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:05.679 those companies. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.360 We will I'm not sure how much more we'll get 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.280 confirmed ropes on exactly what happened behind the scenes. But 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.160 this came to us initially the reports about her being 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.800 a part of this show, and I think it was 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.800 an Australian outlet, and then Tina Brown is the one 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.640 and a lot of people might know that name. I mean, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.480 you could probably at this point she's a legendary royal 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.840 watcher and journalists. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.200 In the UK and in the US ropes. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:33.599 You don't become editor in chief of some of the 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.040 places she's been editor in chief and not have a 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.320 pretty stirling reputation. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.920 That's fair to say. Yes, she's the former editor in 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.960 chief of Vanity Fair. 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.800 She actually revamped The New Yorker completely and co created 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:46.480 The Daily Beast. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:46.840 Correct. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.120 So yes, that is she has an imprint and has 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.840 influenced some of the biggest media publications in the world. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.080 But that's why people listen, and that's why we're listening 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.360 now because she has now reported Robes that this offer 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.680 that Megan Marco got has been pulled. I didn't realize 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:06.800 it was Friday. We were only hearing this. Yes, that's 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:07.360 pretty quick. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.120 Yes, I started seeing it late Friday and then and 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.080 then Tina Brown puts out this on Saturday. I learned 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.040 this morning that the casting of Megan Markle in season 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.840 three of Guy Ritchie's Netflix series The Gentleman has been withdrawn. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.800 The backlash in the UK was so intense it became 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.320 untenable to go forward. This does not bode well for 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.240 Megan's acting comeback in the UK. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.640 An acting comeback, who says she wanted to act in 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.880 the first place, because she told us otherwise at the 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.000 essays like we were sitting down at tea. But she 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.320 told Variety magazine back in twenty twenty two she is 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.920 quote done. I guess never say nuver, but my intention 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.920 is to absolutely not. It sounds like bro that hadn't 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.240 heard much about her possibly trying to dip a toe 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.280 back into acting. It seems like she was very much 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.800 into her lifestyle brand building that. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:05.200 Yes, but things were unraveling with Netflix. They announced the 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.840 end of their deal with her lifestyle brand and they 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.280 made her show just a one off basically. And look, 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.040 I think you and I have said similar things that 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.600 we have no intention of going back into mainstream media, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.520 but if the right offer came, we would absolutely consider it, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.560 and we would absolutely potentially get back into broadcasting. But 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.200 right now we don't have any we're not seeking it out, 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.280 we're not looking to do it. But I think you 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.079 leave the door open, and that seems like what she did. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.679 She I didn't realize this, but she's got a small 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.560 cameo role. She plays herself obviously, that's what a cameo 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:45.319 role is in this new comedy on Amazon, Close Personal Friends. 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.800 It stars Jack Quaid, Brie Larson. We don't have a 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.840 release date yet. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.760 But I didn't even know she had done that, But 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:55.400 I guess that was reported a few months ago. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.679 But it sounded like she just showed up and stood 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.880 there as the princess, and yes. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.320 She's dipping her toe into it, but that was maybe 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.199 just that, you know, that was maybe a little crack 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.280 in the door, and then this would have been obviously 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.920 a much different, much bigger and really a prestigious role 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.080 that she would be taking off. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:12.600 Yeah. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.200 This he was THEO James and the Monkey, right, We 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.120 love that movie. There's other stuff he's known for, but 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.240 that was the one that we are fans of. If 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.160 you haven't seen it, he plays twin brothers. And there's 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.760 a killer monkey toy monkey by the way, so check 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.760 out if you get a chance. Did you realize your 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.880 boy was in The Gentleman, the show on Netflix, Your 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:37.800 boy Boy your favorite actor, John Carlo? Oh no, he 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.400 has several episodes in that First Sea. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.680 Okay, well we have to watch that. Maybe we just 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:42.160 have to watch. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.400 But yeah, I didn't know. When you were talking about 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.959 it the other day, I said she didn't even mention it. 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.479 I didn't know obviously I would have mentioned. 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.720 That this was what does this do? What does this 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.640 mean for the move? Does it even matter? 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.560 Is this? I don't know how real was it. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.800 To her in the first place, But no matter what 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.000 and how much of this was one hundred percent true 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:06.000 or not, this is an awful, awful way of start. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:06.600 Robes. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.360 Days after this announcement that you're even going back as 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.199 an announcement, but you got a new gig, and right 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.840 after there's an announcement that it was taken it was withdrawn? 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.240 Is the word's and people are celebrating that. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:19.880 It's the fact. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.840 Ew that's what I hate too, that's. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.920 She's not even there yet and this is just a 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.160 big ugly and it's embarrassing. That doesn't feel well for her. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.640 She actually feels like maybe she had a gig, even 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.600 if it's not true. God, these people feel that they 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.520 now think I've been humiliated again. 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.880 They think they've won and they've beaten me once again. 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.680 They're they're they're they're keeping me down where I belong. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.760 That has to feel very overwhelming. No, I do I 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.880 do feel for her. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.680 Yes, Robes, I feel for her now. In a way 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.840 that I would have to say I was fairly indifferent. 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.320 I loved their wedding, mainly because of the brother of 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.280 the North Carolina passed to the black guy. 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.480 But anyway, it was gorgeous, it was it's cool, it 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:01.160 was celebratory. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:02.960 I love to see her mom and that Rolls Royce, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.760 this black woman from Compton rolling around in the Queen's car. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.600 I loved it, and I've been rooting for them, But Robes, 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.240 there haven't been a lot of headlines that make you 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.160 root for them because it's the way they complain. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.040 I'm not getting onto them. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.080 They have every right, but Robes, all the headlines were 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:24.280 they complained about this, They accused of this. He's suing 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.000 tabloids for that. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:31.000 They've made a whole big victim like martyr. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:34.200 Yeah, and it might not be true, baby, but it's 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:37.400 at least the impression, at least publicly is that. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.320 But now it's too much. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.720 It was my first thought when they were moving back 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.920 making baby, Oh no, what are they going to do 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.880 to this woman? She already talked about her mental health. 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.040 Is she not and wanting to leave in the first place, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.800 even with the family. Then she said Kate was not 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.000 necessarily kind to her. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.040 And people don't be saying bad things about Kate. This 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.000 woman survived cancer. She's an amazing mother, She's the picture 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:05.280 of perfection and everyone loves her. You cannot, she cannot. 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:10.040 It could all be true. You cannot. You cannot say 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:10.760 what she said. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.040 We were sharing those statistics. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.400 They do take polls on the favorability and popularity of 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.400 the Royals as a whole. List of all some cousins 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.880 in the middle, whatever, but top to bottom. The top 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:26.800 two are William and Kate.

You can't go after 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.320 this woman that Robes. Kate could save her or tank 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:49.160 her if she wants to. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.200 Kate could save her. 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.240 She could. 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.960 William and Kate are honestly the only two people who 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.120 could change the fate of Harry Man. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:16:59.600 Is that gonna happen? 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:04.520 Read that book and you tell me, But stay here, folks, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.960 when we come back.
