In the summer, all of Oregon is our playground thanks to our incredible park system. That's why it's so cool that Oregon Lottery gameplay like video lottery or cash pop helps support tons of parks projects statewide like accessible trails at Silver Falls State park or upgrades to your favorite dog park in Newburgh. It's just one way a little lottery play for many Oregonians can add up to a lot of good the Oregon Lottery. Together we do good things.

Well, my friends, welcome back to Spoton with Link Lauren. We have so much to discuss today. Of course, we're going to get to some more fun, light hearted topics later on in the show, but we have to start with this horrific tragedy in my home state of Texas. I know some of these families who are involved who have lost their young girls. I believe 27 girls from camp mystic, including some counselors, are missing or deceased as of this taping. I've shed tears over this all over the weekend. I am absolutely gutted. I actually just told my producer I'm going to try to get through this without crying and without breaking down because like you, we've all been inundated with pictures of these innocent young girls who are 8 years old. And all I can keep thinking about is when I went to summer camp, how much fun I had, all the camaraderie being with your friends and for these girls just to not even know what's going on and to be swept away in such a horrific, tragic way. And people overuse the word tragedy so much in our culture. I think people use the word tragedy way too much every single day. This is a tragedy. This is a tragedy. This is an actual tragedy. A horrific, devastating tragedy. But I'm going to give you the updates we have right now that are based in facts. This is all we have right now as of this taping. So President Trump declared a major disaster in Texas following this flooding. Here's what he had to say. He said, I have declared a major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance act for the state of Texas due to damage resulting from severe storms, straight line winds and flooding beginning on July 2, 2020. I have authorized federal relief and recovery assistance in the affected area. Now, I could not be more grateful to Governor Greg Abbott in my home state of Texas. Secretary Kristi Noem was down there. I also have to point out someone who is all over the news today. He'll be all over the news this week. There's so many heroes out there doing the work, trying to find these girls. They're civilians. They're folks from the Coast Guard. They're folks from the National Guard. I want to shout out someone. This is a man named Scott Ruskin. Now, he and his team have saved and found 165 people so far. So he and his CRE crew with the Coast Guard, I found 165 people. And apparently this is his first rescue mission ever. So we thank you. God bless you, Scott Ruskin. And I am sending love to all of these families. If you're from Dallas, you know some of these elementary schools, you have Bradfield, higher up. I went to Armstrong Elementary. I have mutual friends with some of these people. I've been in contact with them over the weekend. And you don't even know what to say when something like this happens. You really just don't know what to say. I pray. I pray for these families and their grief. I pray that these girls are found. The last thing I will say, the last point we have to make, is that Secretary Kristi Noem says she's available at all times. I believe she's going back down there. I believe President Trump is going back down later in the week to visit, to survey the damage, to visit with the families. I assume we don't know what's going to happen, but all I can do is say, I am praying for all these families. I. I'm praying for you. I'm seeing everything you guys are seeing. And I told my producer I do not want pictures of the girls and the show. I know some of these families are being hounded by the press. Their privacy is being invaded in a time where they need to be together and grieve. So I'm not going to be posting pictures of these innocent young girls on social media. I know some people have chosen to do that, but I am praying for these families and I'm praying for all of you. And now we're going to move on to some more topics. Now, I want to talk about two women who I don't think are good role models for young girls whatsoever. And that's Alex Cooper from the Call Her Daddy podcast and Charlize Theron. Now, I understand Alex Cooper, she has started this business. She is a staunch businesswoman. That is great. But Alex Cooper has built a career on telling young girls, f men, you don't need men. Be single. Freeze your eggs, ladies. You don't need a man for anything. That is what she has told all of these young girls many in the audience tune in to watch her for that reason. Right. Well, Alex Cooper, to me, she's phony because she got married. She wants to have kids. She's living in a house with a white picket fence and a dog. She's having that traditional nuclear, nuclear family, American dream. But she doesn't want any of the girls listening to her to catch up, because if they find love and tradition and family, they're not going to be tuning in to the sex podcast. Okay, where they talk about every nook and cranny of their bodies. But that's who Alex Cooper is. And congratulations to her for getting hundreds of millions of dollars in this with SiriusXM. That's great. I'm happy for her and her contracts. But do I think she's the best role model for young women? No. Someone who went on her show and is going viral is none other than actress Charlize Theron. Now, we all know Charlize Theron from all of her movies. She's, I believe, one Oscars. She's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Well, she goes on the Call Her Daddy podcast to opine on love and relationships. Now, I don't know why anyone is looking to Charlize Theron for relationship advice. She's not married, has never been married, hasn't really had a lot of success with men. And she said some very interesting things on the podcast about love. I want to take a look at one of the clips and then we'll discuss.
- [05:29]
Charlize Theron
I do not miss love. You know, I might miss sex.
- [05:34]
Link Lauren
Fair. That's fair. Like, my vibrator is only doing so much.
- [05:38]
Charlize Theron
Yeah, no, the vibrator is good. And I'm having. Listen, I'm having. I'm having. I'm having the kind of sex I never had in my 20s or in my 30s.
- [05:48]
Link Lauren
Love.
- [05:48]
Charlize Theron
Yes. And so that part has been really exciting. But I'm not missing relation like a relationship. I'm not missing the partnership that I think people think you miss when you're me.
- [06:00]
Link Lauren
So Charlize Theron basically spends this entire podcast talking about how she doesn't need a man. She doesn't want a man in her house, and she also has two children. Now, she talks about how she's so happy she's a single parent because she doesn't want to make decisions with another man. She doesn't want any man in her house.
- [06:16]
Michelle Obama
House.
- [06:16]
Link Lauren
She's not going to allow a man to move into her house while her kids are still living under her roof. Now, where things start to get interesting, Charlize Theron adopted a child, I believe from South Africa, where she is from. This child was named Jackson, and we were doing some research last night. So she adopted Jackson, who was a little boy. Jackson allegedly came to her at 3 years old and said, I feel like I'm a little girl. Charlize Theron said, well, okay, you are a little girl. Let me read you this quote. I thought she was a boy too, until she looked at me when she was three years old and said, I am not a boy. She now says she has two beautiful daughters. So Charlize Theron, there's no man in the house. She allowed her 3 year old son she adopted from Africa to decide he was a girl and is now living as a girl. She's telling other young girls, you don't need a man. You should be single. Go out there and have sex. You don't need love. I don't miss love. F men. This is Charlize Theron, the role model to young girls. This is where the feminist movement has gotten you. And as someone who grew up living with my mom. Right. There is no shame in growing up in a one parent household. None at all. Shout out to all the moms and the single moms all across the country, making it work every single day, putting that food on the table, taking care of their families. Thank you. We love you, we recognize you. But ideally, what's wrong with saying you want to have a man in the house, you want to have a two parent household. There were times growing up where I would see other families, right, that had a two parent household. I would think, oh, my God, what would that be like to have two parents in the house? And oh, my God, could you go to the dad when you have certain questions and go to the mom when you have others? And I don't think it's just a coincidence that her two children, I believe one of them is transgender. I don't think it's a coincidence the little boy is turning into a girl. Charlize is, you know, pushing the little single digit child to turn into the opposite sex. She doesn't want a man in the house. She hates men. That has been transferred over onto the children, in my opinion. So I don't think Charlize Theron or Alex Cooper are these great role models for young girls. But this is the modern feminist movement, right? These are the girls who sit around watching msnbc. They want to freeze their eggs and they say they don't need men. And of course, I'm all for the independent women, but I've spoken to so many girls about this the last few days as we were preparing for this episode, and they said, yes, we might want to have our careers and be independent, if that's our choice, but we also want a man. Okay? We would ideally love to raise our kids with another man in the house. We're not all f men. Screw men. We are all here because a man and a woman got together at some point and made a baby. Okay? That is why we're all here. So this narrative, this sort of 2015 girl boss feminism that Alex Cooper and Charlize Theron and a lot of these celebrities possess, it's so antiquated and outdated. I think it's much cooler now to say, you know what? I do want love. I do want to get married. I do want to have kids. I do want to have the nuclear family. But I believe the left, and I've said this for years, I think the left, and especially Hollywood, they want to erase the nuclear family and traditional values, faith, family and everything that goes with it, they are not interested. So let's move on to Charlize Theron. So we found that she is turning things 50 in August. So next month she will turn 50. She goes on this podcast and she talks about, she brags about sleeping with 26 year old, 26 year olds and sleeping with all these young men and living this fabulous Hollywood lifestyle. I just don't think that's the best role model for young women. But this is who Alex Cooper chooses to have on her show. Alex Cooper has, like Monica Lewinsky, Charlize Theron, all these women who probably aren't the best role models for young girls. Alex Cooper isn't having a mom on her show who's raising her kids and living that life every single day. She's not having someone with any traditional values on her show. But that is what Alex Cooper is doing. She does not want her audience to wise up and realize that she's living that dream. She has a husband, white picket fence, a dog. She's probably going to have a baby soon. She's having it all, but she doesn't want you to have it all because then you'll stop tuning into her, right? If you get yourself together and find a man and settle down, probably not going to tune in to Alex Cooper. And this also reminds me of another feminist whose career sort of crashed and burned, and that was Rachel Zegler from Snow White. Remember, Rachel Zegler was cast in Snow White and then spent two years on a press tour in a press Run trashing the original IP of the film, saying, we don't need a man. You don't need to have a man. Well, guess what? Snow White flopped because some people, they want Prince Charming. They want to find a man. It doesn't make you less of a woman. Or if all the gays out there, doesn't make you less of a gay. If you want Prince Charming to come along and sweep you off your feet. Okay, is there something wrong in this culture that you're not allowed to say, you know what? I do want love. I do want that companionship. I do want to be with somebody. I don't want to end up like Charlize Theron at 50 years old saying, f men. Screw men with my transgender child. That's not for me, and it's probably not for most of you. But, Charlize, we wish you well, Alex Cooper. We wish you well with your sex podcast. Alex Cooper. Also, you know where her priorities lie, because she got to interview Vice President Kamala Harris, and basically the only policy question she asked about was abortion. Abortion was the most important thing to her, right? Aborting babies was the most important thing to Alex Cooper. That's really all she wanted to know from Kamala Harris. Now, why would you even waste your time asking Kamala Harris about something that the Supreme Court decided? Right. It's not changing anytime soon. The Dobbs decision that overturned Roe and sent it back to the States. If Alex Cooper actually knew anything about politics, she would have been interrogating Kamala Harris on the border. Immigration, the fact that she was put in charge of the border, inflation, all of these serious issues. Instead, she's focused on, my girls need to get abortions. We need to get abortions. We don't want men. F men. We're going to be single forever, and we're all going to raise our transgender children and live happily ever after and run off into the sunset. That's basically what these women want. And it's why I don't listen to Call her daddy unless I'm inundated with these viral clips. So we wish you well, Alex Cooper. We wish you well, Charlize Thayer. And I'd love to hear from you guys. Also, what do you think about this brand of feminism, this sort of old school feminism from about 10, 15 years ago, where these girls say, we don't need a man, we don't want a man. They don't seem happy. Okay. The girls who say they hate men and they don't need men and they don't miss love they don't seem that happy and they don't seem that healthy in their households. Seem to be a mess. But let's move on. Now, speaking of insufferable women, we are back with the Michelle Obama update. Michelle Obama is the gift that keeps on giving because she just won't shut her mouth. Michelle Obama will not stop talking. And every time she opens her mouth to talk, she becomes less and less likable. That's who Michelle Obama is. So she went on a podcast, I believe it was some like NPR podcast. She's not going on conservative podcasts. Okay. I would actually love to see like Michelle Obama go on Rogan or sit down with anybody who's going to press her on any of her lies in her bs. But Michelle Obama goes on this podcast. So we have a clip. Let's look at that.
- [12:49]
Cynthia Nixon
You know, the thing I keep thinking is like, wow. I don't know if my ambition has ever fully been able to actualize itself because of the nature of what.
- [13:12]
Michelle Obama
Me.
- [13:12]
Cynthia Nixon
And my husband have done. I mean, you know, I guess you as a team, as a team, you know, it wasn't about your individual ambition, was it?
- [13:21]
Link Lauren
Right.
- [13:21]
Cynthia Nixon
It was the team ambition. And I went along arguably kicking and screaming, right?
- [13:29]
Link Lauren
Michelle Obama says her ambition was never fully actualized and she went along with her husband kicking and screaming. Well, can we have our tax dollars back? I think there are many of you who would like your tax dollars back because we paid for this broad to sit up in the White House for eight years and apparently she hated it. Okay? We paid for her to fly around on a private jet and eat crumpets and scones and to be first lady and to go plant her frickin vegetables, which didn't go anywhere. And to do her push ups on Ellen. We paid for her Secret Service. We still pay for her security and Secret Service and so many of the am Michelle Obama enjoys. I'm so sorry, Michelle Obama. I'm so sorry your ambitions were never fully actualized. I'm sorry being first lady of the United States and getting to do anything you ever dreamt of is not good enough for you, okay? There are plenty of women and men out there whose ambitions were never fully actualized. You got to be the first lady of the United States. I'm so sorry it was miserable for you, but I'm so sick of this woman complaining. Michelle Obama, you are a whiny ass complainer, okay? We're gonna send you to bitch island because all you do is bitch and moan. So shut up. Michelle Obama. We're tired of you. Your ambitions were never fully actualized. We are sitting around a massive mansion in Martha's Vineyard. You have massive homes, like hundred million dollar contracts, allegedly with Netflix and book deals. And your ambitions were never fully actualized. And you went kicking and screaming into the White House. Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Michelle Obama. Get over it. Literally. Cry me a freaking river. And this shows how out of touch these elite Democrats are. These elite Democrats are so out of touch with working class Americans that they are going on podcasts saying their dreams were never fully realized when they literally lived in the White House for eight years. So screw you, Michelle Obama. Let's move on. Now continuing our discussion on insufferable, disgusting women, we have to talk about Cynthia Nixon from Sex and the City. You might know her as the redhead, Miranda. She's really the gift that keeps on giving. She's another delusional woman who seems to be so out of touch with how the rest of the country feels. But this is what happens when you're an elite, liberal New Yorker celebrity. You think the world revolves around Manhattan, right? The world goes New York, New Jersey, a bunch of other stuff, and then California. You love to fly over the rest of the country and look down on all these states. But then you want to go back to your rich liberal enclave in New York City. That's who Cynthia Nixon is. So Cynthia Nixon went viral over the weekend. She went viral. She went viral for posting a picture in a hat that says make abortion great again. And it's obviously a red hat in the style of a Make America great again hat. So she's out on a boat, she's enjoying herself. It says make abortion great again. Well, Cynthia Nixon, she's not raising the Brady Bunch here. So perhaps she has had several abortions. I don't know. Now she's a lesbian. One of her children, maybe her only child, is transgender. She clearly is not mother of the year. But this is what these feminists are doing, okay? All they care about is abortion. Literally, all Cynthia Nixon cares about. Alex Cooper, Charlize Theron, all of these rich, out of touch celebrities. The most important issue to them, as it was In November of 2024, during the election, is abortion, okay? The day the Dobbs decision came down and Roe was overturned, their whole worlds came crashing and burning all the way to the ground. That is who Cynthia Nixon is. I thought this hat was tone deaf and disgusting. Let's say, let's say you do support abortion, right? Let's say Cynthia Nixon supports abortion. It's her choice to be pro choice. She lives in New York City. She chooses to live in this ultra liberal enclave. But why is abortion such a flippant topic that women are just joking about it now? I look on social media, I look on TikTok, girls are saying, oh, I had five abortions. I had 10 abortions. I can't even remember how many abortions I had. Cynthia Nixon is posting make abortion great again. Murdering a baby. Murdering something that's inside of you and growing. Make abortion great again is so disgusting to me. If you're going to go get and abortion, you don't need to come on the Internet and brag about it. I really, really think it's gross. I think Cynthia Nixon is perpetuating, as I said earlier, this old school, 2015 feminism from 10 years ago. She doesn't realize where the culture has moved on. Okay? And if you say you support life, you're now called pronatalist. God forbid you want to bring more healthy babies into the world and populate the planet. You want more happy families with happy children running around. But Cynthia Nixon is so flippant. She goes out there and wears a make abortion great again hat. But Cynthia Nixon, right, even though she's raising Jewish children, she's also very pro Hamas. She's very pro Palestine. She supports all these sort of liberal kids at Columbia and Harvard running around in their keffiyehs, trying to pretend that they're victims. So she actually has a picture with Mahmoud Khalil. If you remember, he was the pro Hamas, Columbia University sympathizer. She's been posting pictures and hanging out with Mahmoud Khalil. So this is who Cynthia Nixon chooses to cavort with. I don't know what Sex and the City is doing with the reboot keeping her around. She is not likable. She is one of the most liberal, extreme women. She's pro Hamas, she's pro abortion. She's pro transing her children. I would love, would love for her and her trans child to go visit Gaza. Go visit Gaza with your transgender child and let me know how it feels. Let me know how things go for you when you take all your LGBT stuff over to Gaza. Okay? It's probably not going to go well for you, but keep hugging. Keep hugging on Mahmoud Khalil, your best friend. And keep wearing your ridiculous hats. I think the hat is absolutely disgusting, especially because there could be some young girls who look up to her. I don't think many young girls are looking up to Cynthia Nixon. She was never the favorite on Sex and the City. She doesn't have a lot to offer the culture, but Cynthia Nixon, you're disgusting with the make abortion great again hat hanging out with Mahmoud Khalil. You've shown us exactly who you are. Am I still going to continue watching in just like that? Absolutely. I'm going to continue hate watching the show because I've already invested years of my life. Okay? I've already watched all of Sex and the City. I'm watching their reboot. So of course I will continue to watch Miranda plummet and spiral into absurdity. But we gotta pay some bills. And after we pay some bills, I'll see you guys right back here. We've all had days when skin feels dull, hydration doesn't stick, and energy is all over the place.

Prevent wildfires brought to you by the USDA Forest Service for State Forester and the Ad Council. Now I want to talk about a woman I absolutely love. And that is none other than First Lady Melania Trump. We have another FLOTUS update. Our first FLOTUS update a few weeks ago was absolutely a smash hit. You guys loved it. We even had Democrats and liberals writing in saying, hey, you made me fall in love with the First Lady. I'd been seeing so much propaganda on her for years. I thought she was this. I thought she was that. Everybody's realizing First Lady Melania Trump is an icon and we love her. And she's been so unfairly maligned by the mainstream media for so long, and it's so anathema to who she actually is. She loves her kid, she loves this country, she's an immigrant. She's self made. But because this is what the liberal media does, and she happens to be a Republican and she happens to be married to her husband, they're going to throw stones and throw mud on her. But I want to do in this Lotus update, a little breakdown, okay. Of some of the outfits she wore. Over the weekend, she had an appearance at the children's hospital in D.C. it was beautiful. She visited the kids, she hung out with them, she drew pictures. They went and planted things. I thought it was amazing. I love seeing the first lady out there. She does care so, so much about children. That's what her take it down act is all about. That's what her be best campaign is all about. But we also want to get into the fashion because you guys want to know what the First Lady, Melania Trump is wearing. And I had so many people messaging me saying, can you please do a breakdown? Can you do a breakdown on one what the first lady is wearing? So we're going to get into it, okay? We pulled all of this from a user on X named Remoulade Sauce. Now, this user on X does full breakdowns of where you get all of her clothes. And a lot of these outfits, I believe, are put together by her incredible stylist, Herve Pierre. Herve Pierre did her inauguration gown in 2017, her inauguration gown just recently in January. He's a master and a maven at his craft. So let me read to you what she was wearing that day in D.C. so her shirt was a Gabriella Hearst Martha pin tucked polka dot silk twill shirt in ivory and navy. Her shoes were Roger Vivier ballet flats and off white patent leather. Now, as I said last time, I think I just got a little bit gayer reading that. I actually think I got my gay card back reading that from the liberals who've been mad at me for saying I want nothing to do with the mainstream LGBTQ R2D2 community. But reading that, I think just made me a little bit gayer. Melania Trump had so many people messaging me saying, Melania Trump. She's in flats. Why is the first lady wearing flats? You know what? She could wear a freaking burlap sack and look amazing because she's Melania Trump, okay? She's a supermodel. She's stunning. She's objectively the most gorgeous first lady we've had in decades, probably ever. But I'm just being, you know, politically correct. Melania Trump is gorgeous and stunning. If she wants to wear flats to go visit the children's hospital, she should be allowed to go wear flats to visit the children's hospital, okay? She's hanging out with kids who are 2 or 3ft tall. So all of you in my comments saying, why is the first lady wearing flats? Because she's at the freaking children's hospital because she cares about children. So let's move on to her next outfit. Melania Trump also made an appearance at the signing of the one big beautiful bill on the 4th of July. They did a flyover with the B2 bombers. It was incredible. Everybody was out on the South Lawn. Let me break down exactly what she was wearing because many of you requested this outfit as well. So at the Independence Day celebration, her dress was a tom brown cotton poplin, a line shirt dress. Her shoes were none other than Manolo Blahnik BB105 snake red pumps. I think that made me a little gayer. I think I got a little gayer reading that one. But she looked stunning. Incredible. Show stopping. One thing about her is she's beautiful inside and out. As I said, she could wear a burlap sack. She's the first lady, Melania Trump. She's a model, but she also has a heart of gold, as we saw when she's visiting with hostages who have come home like Eden Alexander and so many others. That is who First Lady Melania Trump is when she's interacting with Americans, when she's working a rope line. She really has stepped into her role as first lady and she's been so unfairly attacked by the mainstream media for years. It's nice to see her, what I believe, enjoying herself. She seems to be enjoying herself as first lady and she looks incredible doing it. And I love that you guys also love these FLOTUS updates. And I also have to say, when the President pulled her in and they had a little bit of pda, it's nice to have a couple back in the White House that actually loves each other. Okay, I know the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about this. The liberals say, oh, they can't stand each other. I'm here to tell you, to see a couple back in the White House that absolutely have love for each other and have a family together makes me so happy. Because Michelle Obama, all she has done is go out there and trash her husband, Barack Obama, for the last few years. And every single podcast. Hillary and Bill Clinton. I don't think there's a lot of love there. I don't think everything's super hunky dory at home between Bill and Hillary Clinton, that seems like more of a business. But when the president pulled the first lady, Melania Trump, and it was a beautiful moment for the country because we should be prioritizing family, faith, marriage, relationships, all of these things. And I know some people get upset with me for saying that. Now, this next topic is really going to piss off the Beehive, the Bey hive, the Sasha Fierce, Beyonce people, whatever they're called, okay? Because Beyonce, to me, is grifting. Beyonce is someone who really has no strong identity, no strong sense of self. She just reinvents every other year when it's time for a new album. And of course, in the music industry, you need constant invention. Taylor Swift, Madonna. So many of these women in pop culture and music, they reinvent themselves, but Beyonce just takes on an entirely new Persona every couple of years. And this picture has gone viral over the weekend where she's in this, like, red, white, and blue, all American, Americana patriotic outfit, and people were really confused. It was really confusing. I don't have my glasses or my contacts in, but I believe she has, like, a bottle in her mouth. I hope she has really strong veneers. She's got this bottle in her mouth, and she really has glommed onto this Americana brand, which I called out over the weekend. I did a post and I said, you know what? I'm gonna say it. I don't know if we're supposed to say it out loud. I think Beyonce is grifting and adopting all of this Americana stuff because she's realizing it's cool to love your country, is realizing it's cool to be patriotic. That young people, more than ever, they're going to church, they're putting up American flags, they're taking down those ugly new pride flags, okay? They love their country. Look at the 4th of July, how incredible it was over the weekend. The celebration at the White House. What a stark contrast to Joe Biden's Fourth of July. What a stark contrast to Biden's White House that was lit up like a rainbow. Not red, white, and blue, but Beyonce. This is what she's doing now, she's reinvented herself as this woman who just loves America. She loves America. God bless America. That's Beyonce right now. But I think she's full of crap because Beyonce spent years, okay, singing songs like, America has a problem, saying America, you know, doesn't take care of black people. Black lives matter. She was into that movement, and Beyonce now has decided she wants us all to forget that she said America has a problem and America, you know, is racist and all of that. And her husband, you know, you can look at the lyrics to his songs. And she's now decided she's just going to go full country cowboy. Carter. Red, white and blue. We love America. And I'm glad she's decided to come back to loving the United States of America, because I don't think she would fare so well in any other country. Okay. If it weren't for the American dream, Beyonce would not be worth a gazillion dollars like she is. She wouldn't have sold out concert tours. You understand what I'm saying? If Beyonce had been born in some little remote village somewhere in Africa, okay, would she be Beyonce? Probably not. But the fact that she was born in Houston, Texas, and the fact that she had parents who were able to work and have the American dream and have businesses, that is why she is the way she is, and it's why she's here. So, Beyonce, I am glad you've decided to adopt this red, white, and blue love for America. Come and join us, okay? Come and join us. But you need to stop singing. Your America has a problem and black lives matter. It's like that ended up being a scam. All of that was a scam. America. Yeah. Do we have some issues we have to work out like every other country? Absolutely. But I would rather live here than any other country every single day of the week. So, Beyonce, enjoy your reinvention. I'd love to hear from you guys what you think in the comments. Write to me on social media. It just seems phony to me. It also seems like she's really ramped up this all American stuff post election. Right post November 5, when President Trump won with such a decisive victory and landslide, the popular vote, every single swing state, the House, the Senate, I think a lot of folks in the music industry are saying now, oh, wait, there's money in conservatism. There's money in maga, there's money in the Republican Party. So Beyonce is now trying to do sort of a Men in Black mind eraser to get People to forget everything she said and everything she's saying the last few years. But we don't forget. I don't have amnesia. I never forget anything because my mind is a catalog. But she's now leaning into the fact that it's popular to be conservative. It's popular to love your country. And Beyonce has endorsed every single Democratic candidate for years. She endorsed Hillary Clinton. A full throated endorsement. Me, me, me. And guess what? Hillary Clinton got her ass handed to her. She was back in Chappaqua, hiking through the woods. Okay? After that night at the Javits center, she couldn't shatter the glass ceiling, not because she was a woman, but because Hillary Clinton is buried very, very unlikable. Okay, Hillary Clinton, we can discuss that in a later episode. She didn't lose because she's a woman. Kamala Harris didn't lose because they're women. They lost because they're freaking unlikable. Terrible. And they have a hard time interacting with everyday Americans. So that's a whole separate conversation. And they have pretty dicey track records. But Beyonce also endorsed Kamala Harris. It was sort of like she was being held hostage. When Beyonce endorsed Kamala, I think the people were there thinking they were going to get a concert. She came out, she said, I endorse Kamala Harris for president. Can I go now? Like, that was Beyonce's endorsement of Kamala. She did not want to be there. She did what she thought she had to do for the DNC and the powers that be in the music industry and the people who cut her checks. But now that she realized, okay, President Trump won, It's popular to love your country. She's leaning into all the red, white and blue. So, Beyonce, and thank you for joining us here in the land of people who love our country. Now, if you haven't vomited or thrown up already, after discussing Charlize Theron, after discussing Alex Cooper, Michelle Obama, Beyonce, all of these out of touch celebrity Cynthia Nixon. We have another Rosie o' Donnell update. Okay, she's over in Ireland. I thought we were done with Rosie o', Donnell, but like I said last time, she must have a very strong WI Fi connection over in whatever Irish village she's living in because we're stuck dealing with her still. Okay? ROSIE o'. DONNELL. She's one of these women whose brains broke. Her brain broke the second Trump won. ROSIE o'. DONNELL. She's not gonna recover. She's just one of these ladies. Her brain went, okay. Like a little twig, it went. And she's not ever gonna recover. But Rosie o', donnell, she's decided to chime in and opine on all of the comings and goings and things happening here in the United States. Even though she left, she still wants to chime in. Okay? She's like that person who says, I don't want to go to the party. I don't want to be at that party. And then you see them next week at work and they're like, like, who was at the party? What y' all drink? What'd y' all eat? Was it fun? What music were they playing? You should have just come to the damn party. So, ROSIE o', donnell, she's over in Ireland, but she won't stop stalking everything that's going on here in the United States. She posted a video discussing the fourth of July that I want us to take a look at.

Michelle Obama
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. And among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed. But whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute new government. Come on, America, keep going. Happy fourth of July. This is a sad day in American history.

Please make it stop. I almost told my producer. Please turn it off. Help. I need somebody. Help. Rosie, thank you for the history lesson. Okay? Thank you. You know, they say kids aren't learning enough history. Thank you for that. But ROSIE o', donnell, she's in this black and white. The camera's way too close. She's black and white. She's going. We hold these truths to be self evident. Can you just go live in Ireland and shut the hell up, please? Please, can you go live in Ireland with your freaking herpes, cold sores and all your rashes and your drugged up daughter. Why do you have to keep opining on American politics and American life? You don't live here anymore and you hate us. You hated living here. You said you felt unsafe here. So go skedaddle. Live your freaking life. But something else. Rosie o' Donnell said she kept using Institutes, Institute, Institute, institute in that video. I think she subconsciously knows she needs to be in an institution. Okay? In my opinion, Rosie o', Donnell, you need to be in an institution yourself. You are deranged. Trump derangement syndrome broke your frickin brain like a twig. And I will do the sound effects again because I know you guys like it. Okay, that's Rosie ODonnell's brain. Snapped, done, kaput, not coming back. Okay? And I pray she doesn't come back to the United States of America. But it is a fun sort of social experiment watching her spiral online. Now we have one more clip of Rosie o' Donnell discussing the horrific flooding in Texas.
- [34:22]
Michelle Obama
And what a horror story in Texas. The flash floods in Texas, The Guadalupe River, 51 missing, 51 dead, more missing children at a camp. And you know, when the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weathering forecast abilities of the government, these are the results that we're going to start to see on a daily basis because he's put this country in so much danger by his horrible, horrible decisions and this ridiculously immoral bill that he just signed into law as Republicans cheered. As Republicans cheered. People will die as a result. And they've started already.

Like ROSIE o', DONNELL I am absolutely devastated by the horrific flooding in my home state of Texas. I have shed tears over it. But I'm also disgusted by folks like Rosie and folks on the left and folks in the mainstream media who are trying to make this a political. They are trying to politicize the deaths of young, innocent girls who are swept away at their summer camp. And I think it's absolutely unconscionable. ROSIE o' DONNELL if you would actually do your research, you would know that warnings went out. You would know that these cuts didn't even come into effect and had no bearing on this crisis. The water level shot up at a record and in a way we haven't seen in probably over 100 years. So, Rosie O', Donnell she cannot make a video without blaming everything on President Trump. Right? It's like when President Trump got into office, he was blamed for the price of eggs. He's like, I just moved my frickin clothes in. I just got in the door. I just walked over from the inauguration. Why is it my fault the price of eggs? I mean, can you give me 12 hours? Can you give me and Scott Besson a couple hours and you know, Brooke Rollins to see what's happening with the price of eggs. But Rosie o', Donnell, her Trump derangement syndrome just has her blaming President Trump for everything. And another woman who happens to be blaming President Trump for everything is none other than Jasmine Crockett. So Jasmine Crockett, who I said is one of the most, most uncouth, inarticulate women and political public life right now, she decided to chime in on everything happening in our country as well. Let's take a look at what she had to say.
- [36:39]
Rosie O'Donnell
As far as I'm concerned, you randomly kidnapping folk and you throwing them out of the country against their civil rights, against their constitutional rights. And frankly, how would they feel if some other country decided that they were going to just start throwing people randomly in our country like that? That is. Is absolutely insane. So, yes, all I gotta say is y' all need to get these fools out of here.

Jasmine, first off, you don't talk like that in real life when there are no cameras around. Okay? The second Jasmine Crockett turns on the phone, she takes on this new performative Persona. She's like, hey, crack a lack and jack a back a book. That's how she talks when the camera comes on. She does not talk like that. This is a private school, highly educated woman. I believe she's a lawyer. Okay. I don't know how she passed the bar. I think maybe she thinks she passed the bar, but she was actually just getting blackout drunk. Drunk at the bar. She was sitting at a bar and she thinks that she passed the bar. But no, Jasmine Crockett, every time she turns on the camera, she's like this mofo, mofo, crack a lack and jackin. Why do you talk like that when the camera comes on? Because you don't ever talk like that in private life. If you go visit Jasmine Crockett in her office, is she going to talk like that? No, but she's taken on this Persona for likes and clicks. And she's trying to appeal to some audience she thinks is going to like her and give her money and elevate her potentially for 20, 28. Run here to tell you, Jasmine Crockett, with that type of performance, I don't think you have a prayer or a big future in politics whatsoever. But I want to talk about something you said. You said, how would people feel in America if other countries were sending their people here? Where have you been, birdbrain? That's what's been happening. Have you not seen South America and the caravans of people being sent to America? You haven't seen the caravans from, you know, Venezuela, all these countries. You haven't seen the gazillion, you know, men from China at the border we saw under Joe Biden? Go look at the clips from 2021, 22, 23, 24. I was following all of this. You had thousands of people pouring in every single day. Where were you, Jasmine Crockett? Because what you just described is actually what's been happening. And folks aren't being randomly rounded up, okay? They're not just randomly rounding people up. They have lists of people who are in the country illegally, folks who've committed crimes, folks who've actually even been convicted of crimes and then were just let go because of Biden's soft on crime policies and judges. That's who's being rounded up by ice. And there's a reason President Trump won because he ran on immigration, he ran on deportations, he ran on mass deportations. Barack Obama was the deporter in chief. Bill Clinton wanted a very strong, secure border and deportations as well. But for some reason, when President Trump wants something, all hell breaks loose. Joust. Jasmin Crockett so maybe you should go open a history book and you should figure out what's actually happening in our country because you're spending all your time on TikTok, and TikTok your time might be up.

Well, last but not least, we have an update on the Duke and Duchess of of scam a lot. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I've also been calling them the Duke and Duchess of White Castle, which is kind of offensive to White Castle. But they might be eating at White Castle like the rest of us because apparently they're broke. Apparently, Prince Harry, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren't as wealthy as they purport to be, I believe, and have said for years. They're likely living above their lifestyle. They're living in a massive mansion. They fly private. They've got staff security. They are buying clothes. They don't have that much money coming in anymore. I think they blew through all that money, especially after agents and lawyers and publicists, everybody takes their little cut of you, okay? And Prince Harry's never been someone who has run a successful business, right? Prince Harry was a prince. He would go to events. He would go to ribbon cuttings. He's not someone who ever ran a huge successful business. He didn't start Amazon. He didn't start Microsoft. Okay? He's Prince Harry. But there's a story in Page Six about how they're already losing more staff to save cash. So let me read this to you. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cut ties with their comms team as they focus on saving cash. This is according to Page Six. Last month it was revealed that they parted ways with six more employees, including their two and House representatives. Now it's being reported that the total tally of staff the couple has lost or let go since they quit as working royals back in 2020 is up to 25 people, with some departures not even yet publicized. So they have lost 25 people. The amount of staff turnover they've had, you would have thought they were Kamala Harris or Jill Biden. Kamala Harris had 92% staff turnover by the time they left office. By January 2025, she had turned over 92% of her staff, probably because she's unlikable and hard to work with and not that smart and allegedly has a little bit of a temper and a drinking problem. So Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they're losing all the staff. But I will come back to what I said weeks ago here on Spot on with Link Lord. As I said, why do Harry and Meghan need such huge, huge communications teams? Okay. Why do you need a gazillion people working for you? You don't have that much going on. You don't have some huge business. You don't do that much press, you don't do that much media. She has like press secretaries and deputy press secretaries and communications directors. Why do you have so much staff? Probably because you need to feel self important. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they hire a lot of staff because these people have good LinkedIn profiles, they seem to have good resumes. They think they're going to just make them into these huge stars. And then they come in, they realize there's nothing going on. The staff gets in there, they show up to the mansion of Montecito, and they realize Megan is just sort of strutting around in her little jean shorts with her scrawny legs, putting together little rainbow fruit platters. She doesn't have a lot going on. I mean, she did one drop. I think she did one drop of her jams and jellies and dog biscuits or whatever the hell she's selling. And she's already done. She says she's going to wait till 20, 26 to do more. That is who Meghan Markle is. She's lazy. She doesn't want to work, she doesn't want to do anything. Prince Harry really has nothing going on. So when they hire all of the staff, how do you even run through 25 people? You've run through 25 people when you have nothing going on. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I can understand Prince William, I can understand Catherine, the Princess of Wales, King Charles, right, having huge staffs, right, because they have a ton of events. They're always planning something. They're hosting state visits. All of this is going on. Security. They have a bunch of children. Why do Harry and Meghan need such massive staffs when they have nothing going on? This is like when Meghan Markle was pulling up to events with a motorcade. Meghan Markle was showing up to see musicals with like a four car motorcade and nobody knew her. She's like rolling in and people have no idea who she is, okay? She's not a standout, she's not a knockout. If she were, she probably would have been a big Hollywood star. A star. But none of us know who she is. So Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they've turned over all of this staff they're allegedly needing to save some money. And I'll read you why. So their Netflix deal, which is reported to be worth about 100 million, is up this year. It's over, it's done. Now, Ted Sarandos and the folks at Netflix, they love Harry and Meghan. So I wouldn't be surprised if they re up. Obviously, from what we've heard, they're repurposing some of the footage to do a second season of her cooking show. What was that called? With Love, Meghan, that horrible cooking show where she was making like candles and random stuff. So that cooking show where her staff comes over and have to regale her with compliments. So apparently they're doing a season two. And I think that might be the end of Harry and Meghan on Netflix because they might be cutting ties with him. I don't think Harry and Meghan are profitable. I think when they first left the royal family, there was intrigue, there was interest. We wanted to know what's it like being on the inside, being in the castle. We wanted to hear what they had to say. And then they just unmasked themselves as these liars. Right? Everything that came out of their mouth ended up being refuted, rebuked. It didn't have any basis in reality. She accused the royal family of racism. Them. She shanked them. She made the Queen's dying last days miserable. She kicked up dirt and drama and trouble. And then Prince Harry goes and writes a tell all book. He does a docu series with his wife Megan, and they continue to kick out trouble. I think people are over it. Nobody cares anymore. The Kardashians, people don't really care about them anymore. I think there's a shift away from all of this celebrity culture. I think celebrities, as we saw in this last election, have less influence than ever before. Nobody cares. In fact, a celebrity endorsement of a product might turn you off of that product. A celebrity endorsement of a candidate or a cause might turn you off from that cause. Because why do we want rich liberal celebrities who live in Montecito Mansions next to Oprah Winfrey telling us how to live our lives? But that's what Harry and Megan do. And it's probably why their staff has gone running for the hills and they're going to just pretend that was all a fever dream and they never worked for Harry and Meghan Markle. And maybe we'll hear from some of the staff, you know, palace staff we were hearing little stories from about the bullying and the way she was treating people. Allegedly. I think we'll hear from the staff someday. I think cracks become craters. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I think we'll hear a little bit more. But I will circle back to one of my original points. Why did you need 25 people working for you to begin with? Because you have nothing going on. But that concludes this episode of Spoton with Link Lauren. I want to thank you guys for tuning in. I love that I can be open and vulnerable with you guys, to use a buzzword. But there are some heavy topics that we're going to have to discuss. And one thing about me, to use another buzzword of the moment of the year, I just try to be authentic and just tell you guys exactly how I'm feeling. I have been absolutely gutted and horrified by what's happened in Texas. Seeing all the pictures and thinking of the young girls and knowing some of these people. These people are from my neighborhood where I grew up. Right. I have been absolutely devastated. And I like that I can come on camera and say that to you guys and say, look, not having a great day with this. But we got into some fun topics. We talked about Harry and Megan. We talked about Charlize Theron and her ridiculousness and her transgender child and Cynthia Nixon. We talked about Michelle Obama, Rosie o'. Donnell. We got into so things. And I love that we can do that on this show. So thank you guys for liking and following. I will see you on the next one. Bye.
