Link Lauren
Well my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren, a show where we're going to break down the calamities of Hollywood, the circus of Washington D.C. and everything in between. We have a jam packed show today. We're going to talk about liberal women screaming and melting down Meghan Markle, the investigation into the auto pin. We have so much to cover, but let's start with this very first topic. Okay? A new poll has gone viral the last few days showing that conservatives, no shock here, have much better mental health than liberals. I will read you the data. If you're watching on YouTube, we can also put it up on the screen. So this is by Silver Bulletin Cooperative election study poll. 51% of Conservatives say they have excellent mental health. Only 20% of Liberals say they have excellent mental health. So as it turns out, Trump Derangement syndrome is a real syndrome. Okay, We've been talking about TDS as if it's conjecture. This is a real thing. These people are out here going crazy. I'd love to see some breakdowns on gender, men versus women. Something tells me these liberal women who are sitting at home watching MSNBC with their five cats, their mental health isn't so great. Okay, let's move on. 45% of liberals say they have poor mental health. Only 19% of conservatives say they have poor mental health. And these women, they're actually hosting events to get their rage out. They're hosting these events where they go scream and yell and they try to release all of Their tension because their lives are so difficult. Part of the reason I think they're so unhappy is there's this push on the left for women to only focus on their careers. You don't need a man f the patriarchy freeze your eggs. You are happy, alone and content sitting there watching Jen Psaki every single night and Rachel Maddow. I think the conservatives who have prioritized faith, family and everything in between, they are obviously much happier than the liberals. I also think the Liberals, the last 10 years, they have really allowed Trump derangement syndrome to eat them alive. Their hatred for one man has taken over their entire lives. And what's interesting, back in the day, I remember in high school, middle school, not that long ago, no wrinkles, no lines. You could be friends with people on the opposite side of the political spectrum, right? One neighbor might have voted for McCain, one might have voted for Obama. In 2008, everyone could still get together. But we're in such a polarizing climate. I have friends who are liberals who have totally disowned me. They can't hang out with me anymore. I'm sure the same thing has happened for you in your life. And we also know from COVID getting together with people is really good for your mental health. So maybe that's contributing. But I want to play the clip right now of the rage ritual. Let's look right now. I feel. What do you feel? Going to try to take. Man, it's such a shock. These women are single and alone with no romantic prospects. Who wants to come home to a screaming, shrill liberal woman with Trump derangement syndrome who wants to beat sticks in the woods because she is so pent up with all of this aggression. You women, you need to put on your Lululemon yoga pants, get in your electric vehicles and you need to drive to therapy. Okay? You need to go check yourselves and you need to be put in a straight jacket and a padded cell. You need like a whole girl interrupted moment. So get in your electric vehicle and drive and go get therapy. I also think something that would help these folks who are so unhappy. This is my advice to all of you liberals with Trump derangement syndrome. You need to touch grass and get laid. I. Okay. It's a two step process. Touch grass, get laid, and it will turn your life around because all of you seem very pent up and very tense, if you know what I'm saying. So for all these liberal women who are reporting they have incredibly poor mental health, you need to go out there, have some fun, let Loose. You're allowing your hatred of one man, Donald Trump, to eat up your entire life. And it's really sad. It's actually really pathetic. People who've made their hatred for Trump their entire personality, we all know those people. You see it on Facebook. Friends from high school, friends from life, they post on Facebook all the time. They hate Trump. They can't stand him. And they're posting fake news and propaganda. We don't need it. All of you guys are in dire need of therapy. But we have to move on. Now, some other people who are freaking out right now are the folks over at cnn. They can't handle the fact that people actually like what President Trump is, is doing. Even some folks who did not vote for President Trump, they're happy that the price of eggs have come down, the border is secure, we're getting criminals off the street. But let's take a look at this clip from CNN and then discuss.
- [06:18]
Political Commentator
Yeah, you would think after all of the waves, Kate Baldwin, after the last few months, the first five months of the Donald Trump presidency, right, the first four months of the Donald Trump presidency, that you expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy. It ain't so. It ain't so. The party that is closest to your economic views, and In November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points. Now it's still within that range, still within that margin of error. Plus 8 point advantage for the Republican Party. How is that possible? Democrats, how is that possible? After all the recession, after the stock market's been doing all of this, after all the terrorists that Americans are against and Republicans still hold an eight point lead on the economy. Are you kidding me? Take a look at Reuters, Ipsos. What do we see here? Party with a better economic plan. Well, in May of 2024, just before Donald Trump was reelected president, Republicans had a nine point advantage. Look at where we are now. In May of 2025, the advantage actually went up by 3 points. Now Republicans have a 12 point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan.

Clearly, the folks at CNN need to get out and talk to real Americans. The problem with these folks is they sit in their television studios in Los Angeles, in New York, they fly over the rest of the country and they have no understanding of how real America is thinking. People are happy with President Trump's policies because he's doing what he ran on. Okay? For years he talked about terrorists, years he talked about securing the border, years he was talking about let's get down this Biden Inflation, the sky high, record high inflation. So he got overwhelmingly voted into office. Every single swing state, 312 electoral college votes, the House, the Senate. So he gets back in. He's doing what people voted for. And CNN is shocked that his polling is doing well. But the job of cnn, msnbc, is really to teach us that the views of the minority are actually the majority. And they try to gaslight us constantly. And what's also interesting is you could see that Harry Enton brought up, you know, all the negative press and the talk of tariffs and talks of recession. Trump has gotten nothing but negative press his entire life. Okay? Trump gets nothing but negative press from CNN and msnbc. So we've all gotten used to the fact that there's a lot of daylight between this polling and the press. They can continue giving him negative press all that they want, and then they're going to be shocked. Oh, it's having no impact on the polling because you guys have no influence whatsoever. Nobody is watching CNN because you guys are so excellent and you have your finger on the pulse. The people who are watching CNN and msnbc, they want to be coddled, and they probably have Trump derangement syndrome. There's also another poll. There are tons of approval polls coming out. This one is from Rasmussen. Very credible poll. They said that Trump has a 53% approval rating, which is very good for any president. Anything over 50% is amazing. And it's because he's doing what he ran on. Americans said, our top issue is the economy. It's inflation, it's the border. It's getting men out of women's sports. So Trump came in and that's what he's handling, and that's what he's doing. So it's funny to see these folks over at CNN act all shocked and guffawed and gooped over the fact that he's doing so well and his polling is doing well. But they need to get out there and talk to more real people because if they think the negative press is going to tank his polling, he always gets negative press, okay? He only gets negative press. So this isn't a shock whatsoever. Now, something else that's tangentially related has to do with the auto pin, okay? We keep hearing about the auto pin. I didn't know what the auto pin was, okay? The word auto pin was not in my vocabulary. It probably wasn't in yours until the last few months. Apparently, There was no 46th president. We just had this pin on a little motor that would put Joe Biden's signatures on important documents, on pardons, on proclamations and declarations. Okay, well, we have an investigation right now. Okay. President Trump's Justice Department is investigating whether Biden was competent enough to grant last minute pardons before leaving office. So Ed Martin, who's the DOJ pardon attorney, he is looking into all of this. And, and I could not be happier because we should know if the President was aware he was signing these pardons. We could all see the guy's brains were mashed potatoes. We could see he was not doing well. It was clear Joe Biden and these other shadowy figures, these unelected bureaucrats, were running the country the last four years. So if these pardons are illegitimate, all the people he tried to get out of prison, I want y' all to go back. Hunter, James Biden, the entire family, everybody he pardoned. If those are illegitimate, so sorry, y' all aren't off the hook. And I don't mind, actually, if they call Joe Biden in, Joe Biden in, Hunter in. Everybody says, oh, it's too harsh. You can't call the family in and question them. Why not? They went and raided Mar? A Lago, the FBI went through Melania Trump's sock drawer. They went through Barron's room. They put them through hell and lawsuits. And everybody's like, but you can't call Jill. You can't call the former first lady in for questioning. Folks that drag Joe Biden in, put her under oath, put her on camera, asked her questions. How come the Bidens are constantly given a pass, but no one on the right is ever given a pass? People don't want to talk anymore about their business dealings. They don't want to talk about what Hunter was up to. They don't want to talk about the real character of Joe Biden. Let's call everybody in and ask them questions. Because the clips I've seen of Joe Biden recently, he still does not seem well. He, he seems to still be struggling. So I question if these pardons are legitimate. We also have some more information here. So this investigation, it's going to focus on pardons for five First Family members. Like I said, Biden's brothers, James Hunter. We're going to be looking into all of that. They're also going to look at some of the commuted sentences for 37 out of the 40 people they commuted on federal death row. So these are pretty bad hombres, as Trump would say. So if these pardons are, aren't legit, then I think the people need to go back to prison. Or we can deport them. Apparently we're just putting people on flights and deporting them. I'm fine with that, too. You can go to Gitmo or seek out or one of these other prisons with a five letter acronym. You guys can go there. I don't give a rat's ass. But if these pardons are illegitimate, we deserve to know as taxpayers. And it's also really concerning that as taxpayers, we had a vegetable as president and random people running the country that nobody voted for. Right? These are unelected, swampy little bureaucratic creatures who are making decisions that impacted our lives and negative ways. So let's investigate the auto pin. I will be rooting for you, Ed Martin, Trump's pardon attorney. Now, speaking of the legacy media and fake news and grifting and lying. Msnbc, no shock here. We spoke about this in my first episode. But it's gotten even worse. Their ratings are in the the gutter. Jen Psaki, you might remember her, she wasn't the one with the binder. That was Karine John Pierre. Jen Psaki, she's the redhead. She would circle back. She was the White House press secretary. Well, her ratings continue to plummet at msnbc. They moved her into primetime, right? They moved her into the 9pm slot. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea. She's incredibly unlikable and she has no personality, but she has lost 47% of her viewership. She has lost 47% of her viewership. My team, we pulled up all these stats. I won't bore you with all of it, but right now, in the 25 to 54 demographic, which is their key demographic, she is only averaging 78,000, which is a 52% drop compared to Rachel Maddow and Alex Wagner. Jen Psaki, this might not be the business for you. This is like the advice I give to Meghan Markle. You might not be someone who's meant for fame and fortune. Maybe being on television isn't your calling. Jen Psaki, MSNBC continues putting these incredibly unlikable folks on television. Also msnbc, the people are hard to look at. Okay? All the men look like women, all the women look like men. I've said for years, I understand MSNBC is all about DEI and lgbtq, but does the entire primetime lineup have to look transgender? You know what I'm saying? Rachel Maddow, she's tough to look at. Joy Reid, well, she got, you know, canned, but she was tough to look at, too. Then they replaced her with Simone Sanders. God forbid MSNBC put some nice looking, pleasant people on there to deliver the real news. But I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked. We have these horrible numbers. Rachel Maddow's ratings, they aren't that great either. But the fact is you can only lie and gaslight the American people so much, you can only lie to them time and time again. They're going to turn you off. They're going to get on their phones, they're going to get the news from their phones. They're going to tune into this podcast Spot on with link Lauren. They're going to tune into Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan. They're going to get their news in other ways because no one wants to tune in and be lied to. People, the people who are watching msnbc, as I've said before, they're the folks sitting at home with Trump derangement syndrome who want to be coddled and babied. And they can't handle the fact that Trump won. They can't handle the fact that he won and that he's back in the White House and their mental health is crumbling and they need to watch msnbc. And when I was getting ready for this episode last night, I actually turned on MSNBC just to see what was going on. Right. It's interesting to see what the other half is speaking about. It was the most spooky, kooky, fever dream type of show I had ever seen. I'm watching msnbc. They're calling Tulsi Gabbard a far right figure now. Tulsi Gabbard, I think she was either chair of the DNC or vice chair of the dnc. She was a Democrat, you know, a year ago. Tulsi Gabbard, they're calling her far right. They're calling everybody basically far right. Scary figures. Democracy is coming to an end. They're questioning President Trump's health. They say President Trump's health is in decline. And these are all people who say sat there and would not talk about Joe Biden's decline because almost everyone on MSNBC is a former Biden staffer. But they don't want to mention that every day. So msnbc, it's no shock that people are turning you off and they're changing the channel because you can only lie so much to the American people. Now we have to pay some bills of our own because unlike msnbc, our show is doing well and we have advertisers. So thank you. We're going to pay some bills. And when we come back, we, we have some hot topics. I'll see you guys then. This episode is brought to you by Masa Chips. Did you know that chips and fries used to be cooked in tallow up until the 1990s when big corporations switched to cheap processed seed oils?

Now, something I never thought I would discuss on this show is Sesame Street. Okay, I don't even remember watching Sesame Street. I don't know if you have kids or grandkids if they are watching Sesame street, but Sesame street has decided to go all out for Pride Month. Sesame Street. I guess on their street they're celebrating LGBTQIA now. Sesame Street. These are fictional characters. They aren't even human beings. But we have a picture up on the screen. They Did a post of all these Sesame street characters with rainbows locking arms. And here's what Sesame street had to say. Because I don't know why they need to celebrate Pride Month, but here we are. They said on our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let's build a world where every person and family feels loved and respected for who they are. Happy Pride Month, everybody. I'm here to tell you, tell you. Why do the folks on Sesame street need to push Pride and the LGBTQIA X, Y, Z onto kids? The average viewer of Sesame street, unless you're a pedophile, is two to five years old. Okay? The average viewer of Sesame street is 2 to 5 years old. Why do 2 year olds need to be taught about Pride and LGBT and the fact that they could be transgender and born in the wrong body? Like, why are we teaching them on Sesame Street? You could be a non binary, Pan African they them type of person. No. Teach the kids the ABCs. This is what has pissed me off for years. Teach kids 1, 2, 3, ABC. Reading, writing and arithmetic. Okay? Our reading and writing levels in this country are embarrassingly low. Okay, why don't you teach kids the basics first? They should know 1, 2, 3, ABC before they know LGBTQIA plus. Imagine being 2 years old. 2 years old and you're watching Sesame street where you have these fake characters. I don't even know what the hell they are. And you're also learning that you could be born in the wrong body. You could have a different gender than you were born with. This is what is called grooming and indoctrination. And it's sick what Sesame street is doing. And it's why I'm happy. President Trump and the Republicans, they want to defund pbs, npr. Why should we be paying for these things? If you can't keep yourself up and running, this should not be our problem. Now, we actually have some folks in the House and the Senate who are upset with this. They are speaking out right now. So we, Mary Miller, who's from Illinois, we have Mike Lee from Utah, and we have Andy Biggs from Arizona. And I imagine more and more will come forward because the Sesame street situation has really struck a nerve with moms, dads, grandmas, and grandparents across the country. Little kids do not need to be taught about LGBTQIA plus. And we actually have a clip from the Not Too Late show with Elmo. This is a show that Elmo did back in 2020 with Jonathan Van Ness, who's a non binary wannabe woman from the show Queer Eye. Let's take a look at that clip. Try not to gag. It's time to finally unveil Ellen's monster makeover. Oh, it's uncanny.

Ellen looked just like Jonathan Van Ness.

Cookie Monster. That is Jonathan Van Ness. Elmo Cookie, are you ready to see my monster piece?

Meghan Markle

Mama Bear Runway music, please. Oh, yeah. People and monsters alike, a round of applause for the Not Too Late Show's newest monster, Alan. Ta da. Alan Monster is wearing the latest in high monster fashion with a set of sleek horns, fluffy fuzzy fur, all topped off with a monster honker. Is this what kids need to be watching? If you put your kid in front of the tv, you should be able to trust that they can at least watch Sesame street without having LGBTQ propaganda shoved down their throats. Okay, I knew Bert and Ernie were gay. Okay, I knew Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. Those were two homos. They're an old gay couple. They want to sit at home and bicker and watch tv. We all knew they were gay. That was fine. We were fine with Bert and Ernie being gay. But Elmo, does everybody on Sesame street need to be LGBTQIA plus? No. Teach kids the basics. This is grooming. I've said it time and time again. I also think when it comes to social media and television, there are a lot of kids who would never question their gender, their identity, if it wasn't constantly put in their faces. If they weren't scrolling through their feeds and saw kids who were changing their gender or dressing as the opposite sex, would they even think themselves? But little kids brains are sponges. They're incredibly malleable. And that's what concerns me about Sesame Street. They think, oh, we're being allies and advocates for people who've been targeted as LGBT individuals. No, what you're doing is telling little children between the ages of 2 and 5 they might be born in the wrong body. And that, to me, is what's very dangerous and destructive. And where things actually get worse is we have another clip we're going to put up on the screen from Scouts of America in Seattle, Washington. So we also have some young children who are carrying LGBTQIA plus flags as they lead the Seattle Pride Parade. They're also being led by the Grand Marshal Megan Rapinoe. You might remember her. She's the obnoxious, annoying, liberal U.S. women's soccer player who nobody could please and was not happy whatsoever. So when we look at this, if you're listening to us, you got to come to YouTube and see what we're seeing. Little kids, they're carrying rainbow flags actually ahead of most of the American flags. Why can't we just have kids revere and have pride in America and the American flag? Why do we have little kids out here waving rainbow flags when they really don't understand the concepts? Most of these little kids, they're not old enough to understand these concepts. In fact, I'm 27 years old. I still don't understand some of these concepts. I'm a gay man in media and I'm like, what the hell is that? Non binary, such and such poly. I was like, everything I can't even keep up with. So now you have these kids out here with the new inclusive pride flag. How are they supposed to understand all of these things? So shame on these parents. Shame on the leaders of Scouts America. Shame on anybody who thinks that this is okay. It really is gross that kids can't just be kids these days and they have to have these things shoved and down their throats. And I know a lot of you say, thank you for speaking up. Thank you for being a common sense gay guy. I want you to know I will always speak up. I think kids should have their innocence. There are things they should learn at a certain time, of course. And if your kid comes to you and says, hey, I think I might be gay, or I think I might be this, that is for them to do. It's not for you to constantly shove down their throats and have 2 year olds out here with pride flags watching Sesame Street. Now I have to crown utter calamity of the week to none other than Andy Cohen, the patriarch of the Real Housewives franchise. A bitchy queen who sits there on his late night show that nobody's watching, getting drunk with a bunch of D list celebrities we've never heard of before. That is who Andy Cohen is. Well, he went on the View recently. Just a few days ago, he went on the View. I'm still waiting for Trump to send the women of the View to Guantanamo, but unfortunately, they're still on the air. So Andy Cohen goes on the View and he talks about the fact that LGBT rights are under attack. We're being attacked. It's not okay. Now, mind you, this is someone in a $15 million apartment, okay, who's internationally known, famous, wealthy, with staff with a show he really doesn't even have to do that much for. This is someone who really wants us to believe his rights are under attack. Let's take a look at the clip and then discuss. Well, Andy, it's obviously pride where we.

All month, we celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ community. What are you reflecting on this year? Any message that you'd want to share?
- [25:57]
Sesame Street Critic
My message is it's time to fight. I mean, our community is under severe attack. And there are. I mean, every day, every look at Project 2025, this is something that's actually happening, and it's not good for the LGBTQ community. The trans community is really under siege, are trying to be erased. And I would say we have to fight and be aware and look what's happening and be conscious and vote and vote for every election from the most local elections. That's what's gonna count.

Andy Cohen says we have to fight. What does Andy Cohen know about fighting? Okay, the only thing he's probably fighting right now is, like, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, and some other flare up from an STD he got from the men who come through his apartment single night, allegedly. So that's Andy Cohen. He says we have to stand up and fight. What rights have you lost? Andy Cohen, you are full of shit. I am calling you out right now as a gay person. We have lost absolutely no rights since President Trump took office. Trans people have lost absolutely no rights since Trump took office. So for you to say that our rights are under attack, you are fear mongering. And you're playing into these views of people on the View who want to act like we're under siege, like we're the victims all the time. We are not the victims all the time, okay? I'm so sick of LGBT people always playing the damn victim card. Go to work, get a passion. Get a hobby. I've been through hell in my life. I could sit here and be a victim, too, and say I was bullied and beat up and attacked and targeted and had my car vandalized. And I get threats every day. Get your ass up and stop playing a damn victim all the time. Okay? That's my advice to you liberals, all of you LGBT liberals who are going around saying, we're under attack, we're under attack. My God, you're not. You're literally not under attack. Trans people. All we're saying, you can't trans kids. We don't want you injecting kids with hormones, and we don't want men and women's sports. Other than that, go do what you want to do. No rights have changed for you since the Biden administration. I'm here to tell you, Andy Cohen, you are a liar. You also look a little bit hungover. You look like you had a rough night out with Anderson Cooper. You look rough. You look hungover. You look a little scruffy. You might need to go back to the drawing board. But Andy Cohen, it's so pathetic. So pathetic. For someone who has done nothing, nothing to help gay people, make gay people seem palatable and exciting and likable on the world stage, he has done nothing. All he has done is create a franchise where women go on trips and get drunk and fight and argue with each other. That is who Andy Cohen is. This is someone who acts like he's a champion of women and champion of LGBT people. He has made a living on the backs of destroying women's lives. How many Real Housewives have we seen go to rehab, go to treatment? Their marriages break up. Now they got to take some culpability too. You ladies choose to go on the show at this point and you know what you're getting into. But Andy Cohen, you're culpable as well. And we also have to point out Andy Cohen, I don't know why we act like this man has any influence whatsoever. The ratings for the Real Housewives are terrible. The ratings for the Real Housewives are so low, they're in the gutter. They're in the seventh ring of hell. I don't know anybody who is still watching the Real Housewives of New York of Beverly Hills. We all used to watch back in the day. We used to watch and it was Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer and the girls are having fun and they weren't so scripted and contrived. Now you look at the Real Housewives, they know the cameras are there, the show sucks and it's boring. So, Andy Cohen, your ratings are terrible. Your shows are getting canned. Bravo is going down like the frickin Titanic. And you're one to go on TV and say that our rights are being under attacked and you know you are lying. I dare you to look into the camera, Andy Cohen, and say our rights are being under attack. And then you have Andy Cohen, who wants to talk about Project 2025. Project 2025 is still this talking point for the left. They tried it during the election. They said, Project 2025, Project 2025. Most voters are like, we don't even know what this is. I'm here to tell you, I don't even think President Trump has read Project 2025. He's doing what he's run on for decades, okay? Tariffs, getting men out of women's sports, securing the border. He has talked about these things for years. I don't really care about Project 2025. I've never seen it. I also have to say this. The reason Andy Cohen is losing influence and his shows are going down. His shows are plummeting to the depths of hell because he will not put Republicans on the show. This is the truth on Bravo right now. If God forbid, you say, I support President Trump, I voted for President Trump, they will deplatform you. How many Republican housewives have we seen ostracized from the base of the show and the viewership? And like I always say, 77 million Americans voted for President Trump. 77 million Americans. So you want to turn off half the country, even from a capitalistic standpoint, wouldn't Andy Cohen want to look at half the country and say, let's get some Republican women. Why can't a woman wear a MAGA hat on Bravo? Why do we always have to have a bunch of liberal women screaming and fighting and getting drunk? And it's why the shows are terrible. So, Andy Cohen, go back to the drawing board. You know you're a liar. This is why you are utter calamity of the week. Because you want to tell people our rights are under attack when our rights are not under attack at all. Let's look at President Trump's cabinet. How many gay people does he work with on a daily basis? Scott Besant, the Treasury secretary, is one of the most high profile gay men in the country right now. Not because he's gay, but because he's excellent at what he's doing. Right? This was not a DEI hire. He was chosen off of merit. So, Andy Cohen, we wish you well. Good luck getting the ratings up on your failing shows on Bravo. Good luck with your late night show that nobody is watching and we wish you well. Now this next person we have to discuss is none other than grifter Greta Thunberg. This little lesbian has found a new social movement to attach herself to for fame and fortune and notoriety. Greta Thunberg, as we speak, as we speak, as you listen to this as you watch it, she is on a boat sailing to Gaza. You could not pay me to sail to Gaza. In fact, the only boat I'm going to get on is below deck, okay? Unless it's the below deck boat where we have stewardesses and master bedrooms and themed parties and amenities and nice home cooked meals, you won't see me on the boat. But Greta Thunberg, let me read you about what's going on right now. So she is on a boat called the Mad Lean and they took off from the Sicilian port of Catania, which sounds nice, right? Except she's on a boat with a bunch of dirty people who haven't showered and a bunch of wannabe activists sailing to Gaza. Okay, that boat probably stinks and reeks. Okay, so she took off from the Sicilian port of Catania, and this is part of the Freedom Flotilla coalition. That sounds like something you'd order at Chipotle. Can I get a Frida flotilla with a side of guac and chips? I could not ever be on this boat. But Greta Thunberg, this little. I was going to call her a really bad word, but this little lesbian, has decided, you know what? Climate change wasn't getting her fame anymore. She decided, you know what? Climate's not getting me fame. She went out there and said, we're going to get into a new ice age. That didn't happen. Then it was global warming, and then the data didn't show that. So she's decided she's done with the whole climate grift. She then goes to Ukraine. She meets with Zelensky, and she's pushing Ukraine peace and Ukraine this and stop fossil fuels. Then that got kind of boring. She realized no one gives a rat's ass about the Ukraine war anymore. We want it to end. We don't care. We're bored. I'm sorry if you don't like me saying it. It's the truth. A majority of Americans, we're focused on our own issues. So then Greta Thunberg has to find something new. Of course, she goes and she gets her little keffiyeh and she gets on a sailboat, and she's going to break the siege and try to get humanitarian aid into Gaza now on this ship. We'll put the picture back up on the screen. I don't know how much humanitarian aid she thinks she's going to get to Gaza, but this is who Greta Thunberg attaches herself to these little social movements, and then she just wants fame and fortune. And Greta Thunberg. I also had my team pull up some pictures of her being arrested. This is someone who constantly tries to get arrested for fame and fortune, and she somehow always has a camera crew with her. Greta Thunberg, she miraculously has professional high definition camera when she's being carried and carted out like a drunk sorority girl at the end of the night being put into an Uber. That is who Greta Thunberg is. She's disgusting. Greta Thunberg really speaks to a larger cultural issue right now, which is that A lot of young people, she's 22. They have no real sense of self or identity. There are a lot of young people. They grew up on social media. They grew up in a very polarizing time. They grew up watching TikTok for the last five years, and they haven't really developed their own sense of identity. And so what do you do when you have no sense of self and no passion and you're devoid of purpose? You attach yourself to whatever the social movement is at the time. Right? So first it's climate, it's the climate agenda, it's the climate mob. Then she attaches herself, herself to Ukraine. Now she's attaching herself to Gaza. That's what we're seeing here in the streets in the United States of America at Columbia University, at Stanford. We're seeing all of these protests because these kids have nothing else to do. These kids have not really found what makes their life tick and what their purpose is. And instead of faith, family and a job, they're attaching themselves to social movements and they're going out and protesting every single day. And I have no problem with people peacefully protesting. Right? This is the United States of America. We have the Constitution for a reason. You have a right to assemble. You have a right to free speech. But I think at a certain point, you got to look in the mirror and say, what the hell am I doing with my life? Is Greta Thunberg going to be 82, 92, 102 with nothing to show for her life except she goes to protest and get arrested? That's who Greta Thunberg is. She's sailing into Gaza like she's fricking Christopher Columbus. I hope the boat goes better than the Titanic. I hope the boat goes well. Last night we saw a video. A drone was circling her boat. They said a drone is circling Greta Thunberg's boat. So by the time you listen to this, she might have been. Drone strike. Okay, If Greta Thunberg gets drone strike, then that's on her. I'm sorry, I know it sounds harsh, but she needs to find something better to do instead of being a disruptor. I don't know who is funding her. I question all the time, who is funding these radical performative activists? Because as we saw at Columbia University, they had professional protest consultants who came in and taught them how to break into buildings, how to barricade doors. You had grown women and men who came in and taught college kids how to be disruptors on campus. So I would question who's funding Greta Thunberg? Who is funding this Freedom Flotilla coalition. I also have to say the whole thing is kind of a lie, in my opinion. I saw pictures last night as well. You had smaller little Zodiac boats that were following the main sailboat. So this isn't a real situation. They have a full camera crew. Obviously there's a budget. So I don't really think this is some altruistic situation Greta Thunberg has in her life. I think she's doing this for fame and fortune, just like all of these people, because they have nothing better going on except to attach themselves to to these social movements. Now, here's what Greta Thunberg actually said. She said, we are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying. And then she burst into tears because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity. And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it's not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the live stream genocide. Now, when I went to her Instagram, her bio also said she is an autistic and bipolar climate justice activists. Come and get it, everybody. Any men out there? We got some takers. Greta Thunberg. We have a bipolar climate justice activist. I don't know what the hell that is. Like I said, these people have made up jobs. She needs to go get a real job. And what's funny to me about Greta Thunberg, she has all the time and energy to attach herself to these protests. I dare her to work at a fast food restaurant for eight hours. Greta Thunberg. She can do these fancy things. She can get on boats with camera crews and be this performative justice activist. I'm sure there are tons of of people who would love to have that BS job. Go work the window at McDonald's for eight hours and Greta Thunberg, you will be in tears. Okay? When someone sends the fries back and say they're not hot enough without enough salt. Greta Thunberg, you will be on the ground in a puddle of tears because you have no real skills and you have no real work ethic. So we wish you well. We wish you well, Greta Thunberg. But it's clear that your entire grift is fame, fortune and attaching yourself to another social movement. But you've made millions of followers. You've probably, in my opinion, made millions of dollars. I don't know where that money is being route, but we wish you well, Greta Thunberg. We have to pay some bills and when we come back, we will be Discussing none other than the duchess of scam a lot herself, Meghan Markle. It would not be an episode of Spot on with Link Lauren if we did not talk about the two little hucksters and Montecito. So I'll see you in a sec. Well, we thought we were going to pay some bills. I wanted to come on here really quickly because I don't want to get sued by Greta Thunberg because clearly she wants fame and fortune and she might come after us. I allegedly in the previous 10 minute segment that Greta Thunberg might be a lesbian. I thought, you know, she walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, she might be a lesbian. She's out there with her rainbow flag and a Palestinian keffiyeh, two things that don't normally go together. But Greta Thunberg, I formally apologize for insinuating that you might be a lesbian. That was only my opinion. We clearly have no facts to back that up. If there are any men out there, come and get it. You are welcome to reach out to Greta Thunberg. I apologize sincerely for calling you a lesbian. Now let's get into the ad and pay some bills. Let me tell you a story about a guy named Leo Grillo. While on a road trip, Leo came across a Doberman. This dog was severely underweight and clearly in trouble. Leo rescued that Doberman and named him Delta.

Now, the laziest woman on earth, Meghan Markle, is back with some worry words of wisdom. Okay, the Duchess of Scamlot, who conned the royal family, who conned everybody in the UK into thinking she was some big Hollywood actress, even though none of us had really ever heard of her, she has some words of wisdom about finding that work life balance. This is a clip we're going to play from her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. I still don't know what she has found except a rich husband and a mansion in Montecito. But nonetheless, let's take a listen and then discuss us.
- [41:29]
Meghan Markle
I think that's going to be one of the hardest lessons. Look, even for me. I hear you saying that and I'm integrating that going.
- [41:36]
Link Lauren
Yeah.
- [41:36]
Meghan Markle
Just take a minute to breathe. Enjoy it. Go have a date night. We have a date night.
- [41:40]
Sesame Street Critic
That's right.
- [41:42]
Link Lauren
Exactly. Megan Markle talking about finding work life balance when she has done nothing in years. Part of her gripe with the Royal family is that she didn't want to work. Okay? As I've been saying, she should run for Congress as a Democrat like Jasmine Crockett. Because Jasmine, she doesn't want to work. She wants to twerk and film these ridiculous tik tok videos. That's kind of like Meghan Markle. She has done nothing. She allegedly wanted to be paid for royal engagements in Australia. She wanted to be paid like a frickin Kardashian when they show up at a nightclub. That's who Meghan Markle is. So talking about work life balance is just anathema to who she is in reality because all she does is life. We're not seeing a lot of work in Meghan Markle's life. You know what I'm saying? The royals get up and they do engagements almost every single day. Queen Elizabeth, Rest in Peace and Prince Philip, they would go out there every single day and raise funds and awareness for issues in the Commonwealth. Meghan Markle did not want to do that. So her talking about work life balance when she put her name on some jams, jellies and dog biscuits, that's it. Meghan Markle, I would dare you to work 40 hours a week. I would dare Meghan Markle to go out there and have a real job, except being a washed up duchess sitting around her mansion. I dare you, Meghan Markle, to go out there and do that. But I'm not holding my breath. Now another clip we have. She talks about building something with her daughter Lily Bet. And we all knew this was coming. Anybody who's followed the royals, and especially Meghan Markle, this little grifter, we knew she was going to cash in on the daughter. Let's listen to the clip and then discuss.
- [43:16]
Meghan Markle
Just curious. I mean, I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lily and we'll be building something.
- [43:21]
Link Lauren
Yeah, that's the best. As I predicted, Meghan Markle is already thinking of building something with her four year old daughter Lily Bet. Like the Kardashians, they always said, we're not going to put our kids on the show. We're not going to put our kids on reality television. Now all we see is Northwest. We see Penelope, we see Mason, Scott Disick's son. We see the Kardashian kids all the time. And lo and behold, Meghan Markle posted a picture today with her daughter Lily Bet. So she's already planting the seed. She's using the kids for clicks, likes and attention and money. I would not be shocked if she uses the daughter to promote some children's clothing line. She already said, hey, might do a clothing line in 2026. This is who Meghan Markle is. She has really run dry. She has run stale. She's more washed up than ever. Less and less people care. So what's she going to do? She has to use the kids more and more. Archie and Lily Bet and Meghan Markle, she's also a very competitive person. Right. I wish that would cross over into her work ethic. Unfortunately, it doesn't. But she is competitive in some ways, especially with William and Catherine. So William and Catherine kids over in the uk, we see them constantly. We see that, we see them all the time. They're put together, they look nice, they're smart, they're cute, they're handsome. Meghan Markle is going to want to compete with those kids. She is going to want to trot her children out there for fame and fortune because she's getting desperate. I would not be shocked. I would not be shocked, my friends, if we see a People magazine spread with the kids. I just wouldn't be shocked to see it. She works with People magazine. Allegedly. In my opinion, People magazine has become her mouthpiece. All they do is give her glowing coverage every single day. So kudos to Meghan Markle's publicist. But Meghan Markle is going to start using those kids more and more for fame and fortune because her brand sucks. The brand, as ever, in my opinion, it's going downhill. Nobody's buying it. She's already saying she might not restock till 2026. And we have a clip of her discussing this whole restock situation. Let's listen.
- [45:14]
Meghan Markle
And so for me at the moment, with, as ever, it was great. We plan. We plan for a year we get, and then everything sells out in 45 minutes with, yes, amazing, great news.
- [45:23]
Link Lauren
But then what do you do?
- [45:24]
Meghan Markle
Then, Then what do you do? And then you say, okay, we planned as best as we could.
- [45:30]
Link Lauren
Yes.
- [45:30]
Meghan Markle
Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour or is that annoying? As a customer, I'm looking at it saying, just pause. Yeah, that happened. Let's wait until we are comfortable, stable, and we have everything we need.
- [45:44]
Link Lauren
I go through the same thing, right.
- [45:46]
Meghan Markle
Where you're trying to just balance inventory cost. I mean, at least our things are shelf stable. I think that scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people, not dissimilar to a sneaker drop. Great.
- [45:58]
Link Lauren
Yes, exactly.
- [45:59]
Meghan Markle
But when you're talking about products, products.
- [46:01]
Link Lauren
That you need to be consistent with are foods that you want to provide to your family.
- [46:07]
Meghan Markle
I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.
- [46:13]
Link Lauren
Meghan Markle had years to prepare her launch. The fact that it just sold out, we don't have the numbers, and she wasn't prepared for a second launch, that is her fault. It tells me there's really no demand and she's now covering her ass. Okay, how hard is it to put some jams and jellies and spreads in a jar and stick your name on it in a cheap little carton and put it up on the Internet? This is an E Commerce business. As far as I know, she's not selling anything in stores. This is E Commerce. She could already be pre ordering the next batch. But something tells me something is rotten in Denmark. Nobody cares because Meghan Markle's brand is not as strong as she thinks it is. But she's surrounded by yes people. And like any narcissist, she's full of hot air. And she thinks everything she does is amazing. Everything she touches is going to turn to gold. That's who Meghan Markle is. I think it's also interesting. Prince Harry has nothing to do with this brand. This is not the Harry and Meghan brand. He's like, sweetheart, you go take care of that yourself. He's smart enough to Know even in his psychedelic mushroom addled brain not to go anywhere near this failing brand. Because Meghan Markle is radioactive. Nobody wants to work with her. The second season of her show was allegedly already pre taped and Netflix is just packaging it because they're like, what? We have all these deleted scenes. Let's throw them out there and see if people want to watch. What the hell are we going to do with them? But Meghan Markle, no, this brand really has gone awry. She did one launch, it failed. And she's out here saying, I want people to have my products every single day. Well, if that was the case, why aren't you selling them? Something isn't adding up. She is lying through her teeth. And she has a history of lying. She went on Oprah, she lied. She goes on interviews, she lies. Her stories changed constantly. So why are we supposed to believe her now with this brand? I think she's going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what to do. Maybe it's divorcing Harry. Maybe that's the big bombshell. Maybe she does her tell all book. Maybe it's the children. But something clearly isn't working for Meghan Markle. The fact that this brand is not restocking till 2026 and she's now saying she might not even want to do jams and jellies. So what the heck is going on? But Meghan Markle, we wish you well. We really wish you well. I don't want Meghan Markle to change. I want Meghan Markle to continue being this out of touch, waspy woman who lives in a mansion in Montecito because it gives us a lot to talk about. She's actually someone who should be studied by science, right? When Meghan Markle passes away, we should be studying her brain because I don't know if there's anyone more narcissistic and delusional on earth, except maybe Kamala Harris. I would love to have people in my corner who blow hot air in my. Who blow hot air up my ass all day and tell me I'm amazing like Meghan Markle has. But unfortunately, I live here. In reality, I don't live in Montecito with a prince. So, Meghan Markle, bon voyage. We wish your brand well. We will be expecting something with the kids soon. We know Meghan Markle is going to be doing something with the kids soon. I can feel it. I can taste it. My sixth sense is telling me so. We'll be covering that here on spot on. As for you guys, this is the end of our show, but I wanted to thank you so much for tuning in and making this show a success. A lot of you share the show with your friends. You post about it, you tweet about it, you put it on Facebook. I work for you guys. I want to cover the topics you're interested in. So please leave a comment. Tell us what you're interested in. We also have some bonus content coming on Friday. We'll be discussing dating across party lines. What it's like dating a liberal if you're a conservative. I don't think think it's really possible right now in this political climate. I don't think it's possible. But we'll be back on Friday to discuss that. I love you guys. I will see you in the next one. Bye.
