Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren, a show where we're going to talk about the calamities of Hollywood, the circus of Washington, D.C. and everything in in between. It's been a long weekend. Okay, I'm tired, I'm hungry. But that's when we have the best episodes, okay, When I'm a little bit hangry. Nobody is off limits. Nobody is safe. But we're going to break down everything going on with Jasmine Crockett, Ilan Omar, these women we love to talk about in Congress, but they're horrible for the country. We're going to talk about them. We're going to break down Erica Kirk and Charlie Kirk's memorial. It was moving. I cried. Maybe that's why I'm tired today. I'm emotionally drained. I shed many tears watching the memorial. So we'll break that down. We're also going to discuss Calamity Kamala's new book that's coming out this week. We have some excerpts from the book. We have some snippets we're going to be discussing. So stick around and we're going to talk about all of that. Well, we have to start off this week by doing an edition of Crockett's Corner. By now, we know Jasmine Crockett is one of the most uncouth, inarticulate women in public life. But she's really put her foot in her mouth recently. Okay? She's the gift that keeps on giving because she says the most dumbass in name things we've ever heard. We have some clips we're going to go through of Jasmine Crockett that really blew up over the weekend. But let me start off by saying, as someone from Dallas, Texas, I am mortified that Jasmine Crockett eats up so much of the airtime. We have great leaders in Texas. Okay, what about Greg Abbott? Greg Abbott's an incredible leader, but Jasmine Crockett, she's the one who's always going viral. But maybe she won't be around much longer. I don't know. They're going to do some redistricting. Maybe Jasmine Crockett will go off to better things like Bad Girls Club or Real Housewives of Atlanta. But let's start off by playing this clip from cnn.
- [02:23]
Ilhan Omar
The rhetoric that Charlie Kirk continuously put out there was rhetoric that specifically targeted people of color. And so it is unfortunate that even our colleagues could not see how harmful his rhetoric was specifically to us. But he got out there and he was talking negatively about me directly. So if there was any way that I was going to honor somebody who decided that they were just going to negatively talk about me and proclaim that I was somehow involved in the Great White replacement. Yeah, I'm not honoring that kind of stuff.
- [02:56]
Link Lauren
So this was a deliberate choice. The day of Charlie Kirk's memorial service, okay? The day we were supposed to honor Charlie Kirk and have some human decency, which I know is too much to expect from the left. They decide to put Jasmine Crockett on TV to continue denigrating him and to continue lying about him. Charlie Kirk was not a racist. He had racial discussions. He wasn't afraid to go onto these campuses and discuss race, gender, sexuality, religion. We needed more of that dialogue. In fact, they shot him and killed him because he was exercising his First Amendment right and having that dialogue. But Jasmine Crockett, she really is an idiot. Jasmine Crockett. But you can tell that when she's on a Sunday show. When she goes on a Sunday show, she dresses nice, she speaks like Eliza Doolittle. The rain in Spain falls gently on the plain. But when you go to see Jasmine Crockett on TikTok, she's like this mo fo Crockett. Like a jacket book, a pack, a puck a. That's Jasmine Crockett. Okay? But she did decide to use her private school girl higher education voice on cnn. But I don't really take anything Jasmine Crockett says seriously, because she really is a clown and a buffoon at this point. And to denigrating a man who's no longer here who is brutally assassinated. Put your partisan politics aside and show some humanity. But we have another clip. We have another clip of Jasmine Crockett talking about crime. Let's take a look at that one.
- [04:11]
Ilhan Omar
I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.
- [04:17]
Link Lauren
That.
- [04:18]
Ilhan Omar
That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about Your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.
- [04:29]
Link Lauren
So committing a crime doesn't make you a criminal. Man, I am so glad she's not in charge of the laws in this country. I am so happy Jasmine Crockett is not in the White House or anywhere near a real position of power. Okay. And maybe she won't be around much longer in congressional politics either. But she's sitting on this podcast with Jonathan Van Ness, who some of you might know from the show Queer Eye on Netflix. Jonathan Van Ness is basically a bearded man in a dress. If you're listening to us, just imagine. Imagine a bearded man wearing a dress who can't figure out if he wants to go by. He, she, they, all of the in between. These aren't really people I need to take life advice from. Jasmine Crockett don't need to take life advice from her. Jonathan Van Ness don't need to take life advice from someone who can't figure out if they want to be a man or a woman. You know what I'm saying? When someone can't figure out their pronouns and they go by they, them, or they think it's okay to trans children and inject them with hormones. I don't really look to you for anything, anything substantial in this world but Jasmine Crockett. It's really, really wild to me. It's wild to me that someone who is so ridiculous and so unintelligent despite. Despite her formal education, it's crazy that she can rise. Rise so far, gain millions of followers just by appealing to the lowest common denominator. But that's what Jasmine Crockett's doing. She puts on this caricature and character to really just appeal to the lowest common denominator. It's why I'm embarrassed that she's from Texas. I get messages from people every single day in her district saying, help us. What is Jasmine Crockett doing? We never hear from her. We never see her. The only time people really hear from Jasmine Crockett in her is when she's on TikTok, dancing down the halls. Because, as I've said before, Jasmine Crockett, she doesn't want to work. She wants to twerk. That's who she is. And like many other Democrats, they're all into the performance and the theater of being in politics, not actually working for their constituents. Now we have to talk about another woman I don't need any life advice from. And that is none other than Congresswoman Elon Omar. You might know her from Sort of the Palestinian caucus of Washington, D.C. that's who Elon Omar is. But she has gone viral, and I mean so viral, for this clip on CNN where she is denigrating Charlie Kirk. Why can't people have any human decency? Why can't people just let the man rest in peace before the body is cold? You're attacking him and saying disgusting, horrific things. Let's take a look at the clip, okay? And try not to vomit.
- [06:45]
Ilhan Omar
The people found it jarring to hear such criticism of that. In the immediate aftermath of.
- [06:51]
Angelina Jolie
What I find jarring is that there are so many people willing to. Excuse me. The most reprehensible things that he said, that they agree with that, that they're willing to have monuments for him, that they want to create a day to honor him, and that they want to produce resolutions in the House of Congress honoring his life and legacy. It is one thing to care about his life because obviously so many people loved him, including his children and wife. But I am not going to sit here and be judged for not wanting to honor any legacy this man has left behind. That should be in the dustpin of history, and we should hopefully move on and forget the hate that he spewed every single day.
- [07:41]
Link Lauren
The fact that this woman says Charlie Kirk's legacy should be in the dustbin of history is absolutely disgusting. If I were interviewing her, I would have pressed back on her and I would have said, ilhan Omar, what have you ever done with your life? I. What have you ever accomplished? Because Charlie Kirk built a massive movement, objectively, right? Let's put partisan politics aside, objectively. This was one of the most skilled activists in American history. He was a behemoth, a force, Charlie Kirk. But for Ilhan Omar to go on television and denigrate him, she's absolutely disgusting. I don't need to hear, okay? I don't need to hear about my country from some chick in a head wrap, okay? She's like a Somalian pirate. We all know Ilhan Omar is basically a Somalian pirate at this. At this point, who hates the United States of America. That is who she is. I don't want to take life advice from someone who's not even allowed to walk around freely. She says she's this champion of women, but in her culture, wherever she's from, women have to stay covered. Okay? So I don't really need to hear from you on the United States of America. I don't know why we're listening to Ilhan Omar at all. There were also those rumors, and they're just rumors that we see online. Maybe she was married to her brother. This is not a serious person, okay? This is not a serious person whatsoever. But they continue to platform her because they know she's going to say something ridiculous to ignite people, to get them angry. It's going to go viral. And these networks are so desperate for ratings. They're so desperate to have anybody talking about them because they barely have anyone tuning in. They're so desperate to get a viral moment. They're allowing. They're allowing the Somalian pirate to go on TV and denigrate Charlie Kirk's legacy. They're allowing someone who hates the United States of America to go out there and tear down a man who is in a casket right now, right now, and whose wife is mourning him and his entire family and his two little children. That is absolutely insane. And the left continues to push these rumors about Charlie Kirk, these aspersions that are not true whatsoever, that he somehow had issues with people of color or people of this gender or persuasion or this background could not be farther from the truth. Charlie Kirk was a moderate guy. All he wanted to do was have a dialogue. But I really don't need to take advice from Ilhan Omar. I really don't. When you see Ilhan Omar's friends at the gym, they're fully covered in sheets. Okay? So why doesn't she go fight for the rights of women back in wherever she's from, instead of worrying about the United States of America? Because I think we're doing pretty well here. We have leadership that's actually steering our country in the right direction. And I think it's good that Illinois will never be anywhere near the presidency, because I don't think she's born here. So I don't think she's eligible to ever be president, to ever run for president. And maybe we won't have to hear about her much longer, because if she keeps saying things that are this disgusting, I can't imagine that she continues to be reelected in her district. I don't know much about her district, but I can't imagine people are going to stand for this much longer. Now, this next person, I didn't think I would be discussing this morning, but we have to talk about Angelina Jolie. Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie. Okay? You might remember she was with Billy Bob Thornton. She wore, I think, a vial of blood around her neck. She was in Mr. And Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt. She ended up marrying Brad Pitt and adopting all these kids from around the world, like the United Nations. Well, Angelina Jolie has decided that she does not like the United States of America. She's gone viral over the weekend for saying she doesn't recognize her country. Let's take a look.
- [10:46]
Angelina Jolie
I love my country and. But I don't at this time recognize my country, though. Anything anywhere that divides or.
- [11:00]
Link Lauren
Of course.
- [11:02]
Angelina Jolie
Limits personal expressions and freedoms and from anyone, I think is very dangerous.
- [11:11]
Link Lauren
I'm so tired of these rich, elite Hollywood celebrities who have homes all around the world trying to tell the forgotten men and women of the United States of America how they should feel. Okay? And Angelina Jolie, she was struggling to even form a coherent sentence. She was struggling to even get to the end of that sentence because she probably has like a second grade education, you know what I'm saying? She's been acting for a long time. She's not in mensa, my friends, but Angelina Jolie, she says she loves United States of America. She loves her country. If she loves her country so much, why did she go buy a bunch of babies from countries around the world instead of the US that's my whole thing. That's my thing with Angelina Jolie and why I haven't liked her for a long time. There are kids in the United States of America being shipped around and jostled around the foster care system. Instead of giving them a home and inviting them to come live in your Hollywood Hills mansion, what do you do? You go adopt a kid from Ethiopia, from this company, from Cambodia, all around the world. What about the kids here? If you say you love the United States of America so much, why not adopt a kid here who really needs a home? You go and get all these kids like the UN what is going on with that? Here's my thing, too, okay? Brad Pitt. I know there were those rumors that Brad Pitt had a blow up. Maybe his anger got the best of him. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt a little bit because imagine you marry a woman. A woman. You marry Angelina Jolie. She's hot, she's stunning, she's a starlet in Hollywood. And then she comes to you and she says, we're going to start adopting kids from all around the world. Suddenly, what was a beautiful, nice relationship, You've now got a house full of kids who are speaking languages you don't even understand. I don't want to be outnumbered in my own house. I don't want to do that. I don't want to have these kids from all around the world come live in my house. Doesn't make me an Asshole. Doesn't make me racist, but it's just not what I want to do. You know what I'm saying? So Angelina Jolie, she really was the demise, in my opinion, of her own relationship. I think Brad Pitt was, like, running for the hills. And then also Angelina Jolie, she really blew up at a time when it was in vogue to adopt a kid from Africa. Okay? You had Madonna. She was adopting babies from Africa from all around the world. Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, all these women said, you know what? We gotta go get black babies. You know what I'm saying? We gotta get Hermes, Birkin bags and black babies. And that's what they did. And I will bring it on home. What about the kids in the U.S. what about the black kids here in the U.S. who are being pushed around the foster system? Why not adopt them? Why do you have to go get these kids from all around the world? World in countries I've never even heard of, speaking languages I don't even know. I don't want to be outnumbered in my own house, okay? But all of these women, there was a year or two where they decided, we're going to go buy babies from around the world, and we're going to look like we love Mother Nature and we love the earth and we're all about, you know, Mother Teresa. Angelina Jolie. She's Mother Teresa. Okay? Let me just tell you. Angelina Jolie, I think she has a nanny for every kid. From what I heard, she has a nanny for every single child. This is not someone who can even handle her own business. You know what I'm saying? She's. She's got a thousand nannies. She's got kids from all around the world. And I don't really want to take her seriously. She says she doesn't recognize her country because she lives internationally. So go live internationally. This is my thing. Like Rosie o'. Donnell. You say you hate the United States of America. You left. You moved to Ireland. We don't need to continue hearing about you, okay? We don't need to hear about what you think about us and what's going on here. If you don't pay taxes in the US Anymore, if you don't live here, if your kids aren't from here, if they're from all around the world, go deal with that. Don't try and tell us how to live here and how we should feel in the United States of America. Angelina Jolie doesn't know what it's like to be a single mom with five kids trying Put food on the table. She doesn't know what it's like to have lived in a border community the last four years where we had an invasion at the southern border. She's been on movie sets with her nannies and her personal chefs and her trainers and her private jets and her sexy husband who's no longer with her and has moved on. He's probably so happy he ran for the hills, but yeah, no Angelina Jolie. I don't want to take you seriously whatsoever. I don't need to hear from you on the United States of America. But I wish you and your cornucopia of children well. Trusting insurance agents or the government with your Medicare is way too risky. That's how millions of people get stuck on the wrong plan, and they don't even know it. In fact, the Department of Justice just sued three major Medicare brokers for pretending to be unbiased while allegedly pushing people into the plans that got them the biggest kickbacks. Super shady. And honestly, Medicare is confusing by design. No one should have to figure this out alone. That's why you should know about chapter. Chapter does things differently. They're the only Medicare advisor that compares every single plan nationwide, not just a few that line their pockets. And because of that, they save people an average of $1,100 a year. So whether you're brand new to Medicare or already signed up, this could be the most important call you make. If you're on the best plan, they'll tell you if there's a better one, they could help you save thousands. It's free and it's fast. Takes less than 20 minutes for them to review your options. Call 66137, 3275 to actually feel confident about your Medicare. Now let's talk about Ms. Kamalamity Harris, Ms. Cabernet Kamala. Okay, Kamala Harris, she has no Hallmark achievements. She ran a horrible campaign for 107 days. But am I going to read her new book, Word for Word? I probably am. I want to read that book Word for Word, line for line, breaking it down. Because one thing I haven't seen in any of these excerpts, and we have tons of excerpts and clips from the book, I haven't seen any culpability or responsibility for her own failures. Right. She wants to blame Biden, his communications team, Jill Biden, everyone around her. She says she didn't have enough time. What's really weird about Kamala Harris saying she didn't have enough time to beat President Trump is that she had been vice President for four years, right? She had nothing but positive press. She could have really made a name for herself. But to say that, oh, I didn't have enough time to introduce myself to the country. To introduce yourself. You've been around for a million years. You've ran for president yourself. So what does that mean? You didn't have enough time to introduce yourself? But one of these excerpts, okay, Apparently Jill Biden confronted Kamala's husband, Doug Imhoff, and questioned their loyalty. Apparently she pulled him aside at the White House over the fourth of July and said, what's going on? Are you supporting us? She was tense. She was angry. And I believe this, I believe Joe Biden because she ran that White House, okay? She ran that White House with an iron fist. We saw her sitting behind the desk on Air Force One, running cabinet meeting. She's pretty much the most power hungry woman I've ever seen in American life. Maybe besides Hillary Clinton, but Joe Biden, she's going to go down in history as one of the most unlikable women ever. But I do believe that she pulled Doug Imhoff aside and said, are you supporting us? And I will say, to Kamala Harris's credit, she did sit there and say nothing. She took an oath to the United States of America. She did not take an oath to Joe Biden. She's supposed to serve the American people. Our tax dollars pay her salary, but she did not care about the American people because she sat there and allowed a man whose brains are mashed potatoes to pretty much run the country. Right? She let these unelected bureaucrats around him control the auto pin and run the country. And Kamala Harris said nothing. Kamala Harris said absolutely nothing. Okay? Even though she's supposed to work for us and have our best interests. So in that respect, I do stand with Kamala Harris on this one. I do think she had Jill and Joe Biden's back because she could have gone out there and said, the guy's an idiot. The guy's asleep all day. But she didn't say that. Now, something else that has gone viral from Kamala Harris's new book. She said she did not choose Pete Buttigieg, Mayor Pete, to be her running mate because he was gay. Okay? Pete Buttigieg was apparently too gay to be her running mate for the United States of America. So she chose Tim Walls. This doesn't make sense to me, okay? You say you don't want a gay man, but then you go choose the most gay looking man In American history, Mr. Jazz Hands, Tim Walls, who Walks into every room like Bob Bossi, okay? These vagabond shoes. That's who Tim Walls is. So Kamala Harris, she doesn't want people to judge because he's a homosexual. So she chooses Tim Walls, who's basically an overgrown Disney adult with a questionable Internet search history. Tell me how that makes sense. Sense, okay. Tell me how that makes sense. If I saw Tim Walls driving a van around a children's playground, I wouldn't be shocked. Okay? He's a pretty scary, bizarre person. But she says she didn't choose because she thought it would be too much to ask of America to have a black woman and a gay guy on the ticket. And you know what's so sad is that Kamala Harris looks down on the American people, right? She thinks, oh, they can't think for themselves. They're just going to see skin color or gender or sexuality. And I think that's why so many people have shifted to the right. Because the Republican, like, we don't care if you're black, white, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, whatever. We just want the best people, right? We want to live in a merit based society. But the left is so obsessed with identity politics. The left, all they care about is checking boxes and identity politics. But Kamala Harris knew. Kamala Harris knew. She chose Pete Buttigieg. Maybe it'd be too much to ask of the United States of America. I actually don't think so. I think what would have hurt people to judge is that he really had no record either. He had no record. Kamala had no record. He somehow became secretary of transportation and all he had done was fix potholes and South Bend, Indiana. And then we all saw how things went with the East Palestine train, train derailment. We saw how things went in Hawaii as well. People to judge is pretty much a terrible Secretary of Transportation. I think that's more of why she didn't choose him. But she's saying, oh, it would have been too much to ask America to accept this gay man. Pete Buttigieg doesn't even seem that gay, right? I don't think I've ever. I think I've seen him kiss his husband once, maybe once or twice. I will say, though, okay, non sequitur. Pete Buttigieg's husband. I would change your name. Chastain. It's not giving what it needs to give. Chastain. It just is not a name that I really want to see in presidential politics. So if I were Chastain Buttigieg, I would go change that name. It's not A star's name. So it's not shocking to me that Kamala Harris cares about identity politics. But Pete did respond to her. And we have a clip. Let's look at that. I was surprised when I read that. I just believe in giving Americans more credit than that. You know, my experience in politics has been that the way that you earn trust with voters is based mostly on what they think you're going to do for their lives, not on categories. And I wouldn't have run for president if I didn't believe that. I actually think people to judge might have turned down Kamala. I think Pete has so many aspirations for 2028. He's so thirsty and so hungry. He's so hungry and thirsty to run in 2028. I think everybody knew that Kamala Harris was going to lose. I think everybody was like, she's an idiot. She can barely form coherent sentences. Nobody wanted to go near her. And I think one of those people was also Josh Shapiro from Pennsylvania. I will say, from a political analysis standpoint, choosing Tim Walls from Minnesota when you need Pennsylvania is a little bit ridiculous to me. I don't know what Kamala Harris was thinking. Why wouldn't you choose the guy from Pennsylvania when you know you have to win Pennsylvania? Are you that much of an idiot? She's that much of an idiot. Like, you know, you need Pennsylvania to win. So instead of choosing the guy from Pennsylvania, you choose this clown from Minnesota. But Josh Shapiro doesn't sound like he liked her much either. Let me read you a little bit about this. So Kamala claims in her book that Josh Shapiro seemed more interested in the role of vice president than in helping her win against President Trump. Well, that doesn't even make sense to me. Yeah, he would be interested in the role of vice president. I think she didn't want to be outshined by him. I think she knew that Josh Shapiro was a much better orator and communicator. Even if I don't agree with all of his policies, I think Kamala didn't want to be outsh a man like Josh Shapiro. Okay, so he apparently even questioned an aide about what art pieces he could use to decorate the vice president's residence. Harris recalled. Now, Josh Shapiro did respond to her. We have a clip. Let's hear what Josh Shapiro said in a rebuttal to Kamala Harris's comments. Look, I haven't read the former vice president's book, and she's going to have to. She's going to have to answer to how she was in the room and yet never said anything publicly. Oh, those are fighting words. Okay, she's gonna have to answer. Okay. Why she didn't say anything publicly about Biden's decline. That's what I've been saying. It's what I've been saying for years. Kamala Harris, you took an oath to the country, not to Joe Biden. But you sat there and you ate crumpets and scones and you sat there in silence while the border was invaded and while these unelected bureaucrats controlled. Controlled the country and controlled the auto pin. And it's why I don't think we'll ever see Kamala Harris near the White House ever again. I think she knows, instinctually, she doesn't have a prayer. Because how can we overlook someone with such low and piss poor credibility? That's who Kamala Harris is. Her credibility is shot. Right? She carried water for Joe Biden even when she was on the View. And she was asked, what separates you from Biden? How are you different? She said, not a thing comes to mind. Not one thing. The country's in the gutter and the crapper. We've got sky high inflation, open borders. The man is non compos mentis, and nothing comes to mind. So that's when Kamala Harris really shot herself in the foot. And it's why I don't think she'll ever be near the White House again. I hope she sells a lot of these books, okay, so she can continue living in her mansion in Hollywood with her rich husband. Now, the last excerpt we have to talk about. Apparently she called Gavin Newsom. She called Gavin Newsom, and Biden dropped out. And Gavin Newsom replied with a text and never hit her back. Let me tell you what happened. So she called Gavin Newsom frantically for an endorsement after Biden exited the race, after he was pushed out. But he replied, hiking. Will call back. This is like you have a one night stand with the guy and you text him you want to get together for dinner next week? Oh, man, I'm busy. Never gonna see your ass again. I think Gavin Newsom, even though he's an idiot himself, he's enough of a political operator to know that Kamala is radioactive, right? He'll say nice things about Kamala. He'll support her here and there. He'll say, oh, she's my sister, my friend from California. But he knows she doesn't have a prayer, right? She. He knows she doesn't have the good. Now, here's what Newsom said about the claim in her New book. He said there was an unknown number. Meanwhile, I was on a text chain trying to get in touch with the Biden administration because I was completely surprised that the president dropped out. Now, this is where I call a flag on the play. And I don't really know what calling a flag on the play means, but it's a sports metaphor. Gavin Newsom says he was completely surprised that Biden dropped out. We all knew he was going to drop out on Sunday, July 21st. Go back to my social media. Go check out my TikTok talk, okay? I made a video saying I had heard he was going to drop out Sunday, July 21st. Everybody was discussing this, okay? The video got millions of views. Everybody said, you're a liar. You don't know what you're talking about. And then Sunday, July 21, people came back around and said, oh, you were right. So I don't think anyone was shocked. The fact that Gavin Newsom is saying he was shocked Biden dropped out, I think we all knew that was going to happen. But within hours, he did publicly endorse Kamala, as other prominent Democrats did. That exact same moment was working with my team to draft a statement. Gavin Newsom said, I assume that's in the book as well. Harris did not mention Newsom's endorsement in the book. So it seems like Kamala Harris just doesn't want to take culpability for her own failures, her own mistakes. The fact that she's a terrible politician, terrible communicator, she has no track record, and she wants to just go scorched earth on everybody. Right. She wants to burn every bridge. I think she is under the impression that she's going to be radically honest and that young people are going to love her and think she's cool for just calling out the system. System. Right. The Democrats look like the party of the elites. Maybe she thinks if she calls out Newsom and Buttigieg and Biden and Jill, she'll be like this cool folk hero. Like how President Trump came into the race as an outsider in 2015 and was calling out everybody in the establishment. Kamala, you're already the establishment, okay?

Prices and participation may vary. Now to round out the show, I want to talk about Charlie Kirk's memorial service. As many people pointed out, this was not just a revival for the nation, it was also a funeral for the left. Because the left has nothing they can compete with. Right. They don't have good looking people with good policies. They don't have any good communicators. What we saw for several hours, we saw nice looking people come together on stage to eulogize Charlie Kirk, but to also talk about faith, family, conservative values, the American dream. And the American dream is unattainable on the left right now. Right. You cannot attain the American dream on the left. They want you to own nothing and be happy. Their policies are unpopular. So to see these folks come together is really so beautiful. Such a beautiful moment for the country. We've never seen something like this for a private citizen. We really haven't seen anything to this scale. Millions of people tuning in, hundreds of thousands showing up in Arizona at, at the stadium. I had so many friends who went. I just wanted to watch by myself. I knew I wanted to be alone and take notes. I cried, I laughed. At times I cried again. And I knew I just wanted to be by myself like the old days when I would just sit and watch and process this moment in history. I sometimes think when you go to these events, you're busy smiling and hugging people and networking and, you know, taking pictures and doing this. I just wanted to sit. Okay, in my gym shorts in front of the tv, eating a grilled cheese, watching and feeling everything and reflecting how we move forward. How do we move forward in this moment? What lessons can we glean or lessons can we glean from some of the speeches? And one of the speeches I thought was incredible was J.D. vance, probably the future President of the United States of America. And we actually have a clip of J.D. vance discussing Charlie Kirk. Let's look at that.

That I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public. As much as I love the Lord and as much as it was, was an important part of my life, I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life. And that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk. You know, he loved God, and because he loved God, he wanted to understand God's creation and the men and women made in his image.

I think there's so many people who tuned into Charlie Kirk's memorial service. Maybe people who saw clips online, watch the live stream, who maybe you're giving faith in family and conservative values a chance who never had before. Right? Because the left tells women, freeze your eggs, focus on your career. You don't need a man. F man. Look at Alex Cooper, right, one of the biggest podcasters on the left speaking to young women. She tells them all the time to go have one night stands, and she talks about sex and dating and all of that. Meanwhile, she married a guy, she has a dog, she has a white picket fence, and she'll probably have a kid here pretty soon, but she wants you to stay single and unhappy, happy. So for JD Vance to talk about faith and family was really so beautiful and such a message to young men. And I think Erica Kirk is going to be such a force moving into the future, speaking to young women. I actually said last night, I'd love to see a J.D. vance, Erica Kirk ticket in 2028. He can get the young men, she can get the young women. I want to play you a clip. Okay? We have a clip of Erica Kirk talking about forgiveness. And this is when I really broke down and cried. The fact that she was able to forgive her husband's assassin after 11 days shows you her faith, her strength, her character, and exactly who she is. Let's take a look at the clip. And you guys get the tissues because it's very emotional.

Erica Kirk
My husband Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life on the cross. Our Savior said, father, forgive them, for they not know what they do. That man.

That young man, I forgive him. This moment felt like a national catharsis. I think people for almost two weeks had felt anger, sadness, grief, confusion, rage. But for her to stand there in front of tens of thousands of people, millions watching at home, and say, I forgive you, to her husband's assassin. It was a moment where we could exhale a little bit and release it. And I think Erica Kirk has such incredible work to do. She's now the CEO and the head of Turn Turning Point. She's going to be this massive political figure moving forward, carrying the torch for her husband. And I think she's going to do so beautifully. I think she's going to expand on what he did. He's going to be looking down on her, proud. But I felt when she forgave Tyler Robinson, it was a way of saying, you know what? I got to be there for my kids, for the country, for the organization, for the employees, for our supporters. I have a lot of work to do, and you can't get that work done if you're carrying around the anger and the grief. And we've all had to forgive someone at one point or another in our lives for doing something unforgivable. But if we don't do that, then you're going to carry it around. You're not going to be productive. You're not going to get anything done. You're going to be stuck and stunted and living with one foot in the past. And it felt like in that moment, maybe that's why I cried. It just felt like she released. She just released and said, I'm moving forward. I'm moving on. I'm getting emotional talking about it now. But, no, it just seemed like she was ready to say, you know what? I am not going to be owned by this deranged lunatic Tyler Robinson, who took my husband's life. I'm going to move forward, and I'm going to work, and I'm going to get things done for this country. And it just felt like a. And exhale. And it felt like we could all exhale just a little bit, too. It just felt like a huge release for the country. Like I said, it was a catharsis. And the last clip I want to play. If you did not see the memorial and if you haven't been online so much, she talks about the lost boys in our country and how Charlie Kirk was able to speak to these young men. He tapped into. Into these young men. He was able to move so many young men to the right. So Many young men came out in droves to vote for President Trump because the work that Charlie Kirk did, did. But Erica Kirk understands them as well. Let's take a listen.

Charlie passionately wanted to reach and save the lost boys of the West. The young men who feel like they have no direction, no purpose, no faith, and no reason to live. The men wasting their lives on distractions, and the men consumed with resentment, anger and hate. Charlie wanted to help them. He wanted them to have a home with Turning Point usa. And when he went onto campus, he was looking to show them a better.

The fact that she articulated this was so important to the country because people are probably looking at her saying she can speak to young women, women, to moms, to all these girls across the country, but she's really tapped into what's going on with these men, too, because we have an epidemic of despondency in these, in this country. And a lot of professors talk about it, a lot of scholars talk about it, some influencers talk about it. We actually have a term for these young men who are completely checked out of society that I learned last year. It's N E E T. They call them neat, not in education, employment, or training. And I think one in five men, one in five young men are completely checked out from science society. They're at home, they're playing video games, they're not looking for jobs. They've either moved back home, they're somehow paying their bills and getting by, but they have no interest in dating and having sex and having relationships, and they're completely checked out. And Charlie was able to ignite something in them and galvanize them and reach them and just say, you know what? You're not lost, right? You're not lost. We're going to bring you back into the fold, right? If you thought you wanted to check out from society, we're going to bring you back in. And the fact that Erica Kirk articulated this was so beautiful because I understand, right, women's rights, and we have so many feminists in our country, but we can't have strong women without strong men, right? If we tear our men down and we don't uplift our men, how can our women be strong? Right? We don't always need this battle of the sexes all the time, right? It takes two to tango here. It takes two to have a beautiful family. And so how can we support our women if so many of our men are checking out from society the men who built this country Right. So many who built this country with their hands as I spoke about about at Charlie Kirk's memorial. So the fact that she spoke about this I thought was so beautiful. It was on the nose, it was poignant, it was something that needed to be said. These lost boys in the country. And I'm going to continue speaking about this and doing what I can to reach them. I think Erica Kirk has the skills to be able to reach them as well. She's beautiful, she's smart, she's wicked smart, she's intelligent, she understands the culture, she understands the problems in a very nuanced way. So I think she'll be incredibly important and reaching these young men who are despondent and who she calls the lost boys. Well, I'm back to tell you about masa chips.

Well, my friends, thank you for tuning in to Spoton with linklore. And I also have to say when I was in D.C. the last feeding days I was out at dinner. Several people came up to say that they watched the podcast or they'd seen me on Megan Kelly or they see me on TikTok. And I wanted to say that I absolutely love you guys. One woman came up to me when I was at dinner with some friends. I believe her name was Natalie. She was in like a cheetah print top, a cool necklace and she said she subscribed to every single MK Media podcast show. The second Meyen Kelly announced them. So we love you. I also got to give a shout out to the two girls. Okay, these two hot young conservative MAGA girls, girls, we assume they're MAGA girls, came up and my friends and I were like, those girls are up to no good. And I told the girls, y' all are dressed like you're gonna get into trouble tonight. And they promised me that they wouldn't, but I have a feeling that they did. So I love you guys and I'm so grateful that you tune in and be sure to keep up with us on social media on my pages, on the spot on with Link Lauren pages. All of that is down in the description.
