AOC's Campaign Cash for Psychiatrist, Bachelorette and Taylor Frankie Paul Fail, and Dems Hold Airports Hostage
00:36:36
Link Lauren gives his take on the disaster that is airports and TSA lines caused by the partial DHS shutdown and how Taylor Frankie Paul and ABC tanked the already failing Bachelor franchise. Then, Link dives into Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign allegedly spending $19,000 on a ketamine-focused psychiatrist for “leadership training,” and Gavin Newsom’s “first partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom going off-script yet again. Plus, Link reacts to reports that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry lost Netflix millions, and that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos allegedly cutting ties with the controversial couple.

Behind every health care statistic is a person's face paying the price. Big Pharma just increased the prices of 350 drugs. Hospital monopolies are marking up procedures by 300%. The drug companies and hospitals set health care prices and they're too high. America's health insurers are on the side of people working hard to negotiate costs down and make health care work better for everyone. We see more than numbers. We see you.

Link Lauren
Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren. Happy Monday. Can we say happy Monday? I feel like at this point in 2026, we're all hanging on for dear life. Okay. I don't know what is going on with 2026. I thought 24 was crazy. I thought 25 was crazy. 2026, here we are. One of my friends texted me the other day, one of my more conspiratorial friends, and she said, we're entering a new dimension. I said, I I'm not sure I'm ready to enter a new dimension. Just trying to survive. Okay? Trying to survive. I'm trying to thrive. I'm traveling right now. If you see the hotel room behind me now, there is this rule in media. You're not supposed to show the bed in the background of a shot. But I'm not staying in a presidential penthouse suite. Okay? So when I am staying in a presidential penthouse suite, then maybe we'll have some luxurious, fabulous background. For now, you got the bed, you got the water sprinklers. At least we know if, God forbid, there's a fire during this episode, the water will come down and we will survive. My hair. My might not, but yes. We've got the bed in the background. On MTV Cribs, this is where the magic would happen. There is no magic happening today. But what we do have going on today is a jam packed show. So we're going to break down everything happening in the airports across the country. These videos are insane. We've compiled hundreds, thousands. Just kidding. We've compiled a few videos from across all of these airports. The Atlanta airport looks like an utter calamity. I don't know what the hell is happening in Atlanta, but we're praying for you. Laguardia we just found out before we we sat down, a plane was landing, crashed into a fire truck. Do not travel unless you have to. So we're going to break that down. We're also going to talk about Taylor, Frankie Paul. Okay? Never trust a woman with three first names. Taylor, Frankie Paul. But we're going to break down Taylor, Frankie Paul. She was supposed to be the Bachelorette until the show was canceled last week due to a domestic violence situation. So abc, Disney, are set to lose tens of millions of dollars. We're going to break all that. Also, Harry and Meghan's career is down the tubes. Harry and Meghan. Netflix can't give away their products. The head of Netflix is unfollowing. Megan. There's bad blood, okay? We might never see Meghan Markle again in Hollywood. So we're going to break all of this down and more hot topics, including AOC spending $19,000 on some type of therapist. We're going to pay some bills really quickly. So stick around. And we'll be right back with our first topic. Everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic. They work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite. But what if you're looking to lose weight but not interested in painful weekly injections, especially when you hear about some of these intense side effects? Well, listen up, because that is exactly why doctors created a weight loss supplement called Lean. And the results are remarkable. The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to lower your blood sugar, red burn fat by converting it into energy and curb your appetite and cravings so you're not as hungry.

That's promo code linkakelean.com well, we have to start off by talking about these disasters at all of the airports across the country. Now, there are a few airports that are okay, but most of them are an utter calamity. And these videos we have seen, especially coming out of Atlanta, Atlanta's airport, I don't know what's going on. I've heard from people this morning. They've waited five hours, six hours. Today is the first day that ICE agents have been deployed by President Trump to assist the TSA to assist the airports because people have spring break Travel. They're trying to get on their flights. They've got young kids. The kids need to eat. They're missing their flights. Then they're missing the cruise. They're not getting to the hotel. It's an absolute disaster. So unless you have to travel right now, you should not be traveling. But let me read you a little bit about what's going on. So major US Airports are experiencing severe delays due to high TSA officer absences. So what's going on right now is basically the Democrats are holding the country hostage. This is what the Democrats do. Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, all of these beta males in Washington, D.C. they would rather prioritize illegal migrants than the American people who pay their taxes and pay their bills. And that's what we're seeing at airports right now. This is just another moment where Democrats are prioritizing illegals, okay, over Americans. And they're willing to put you through hell on spring break. People are missing work trips, right? And now their work is in jeopardy, all because the Democrats are doing this. So you should be writing to Chuck Schumer, your Democratic congressmen, your senators. Explain. Explain all you want. All you want is to fund the Department of Homeland Security, fund DHS so we can get these airports moving. Now, I am no fan of the tsa. I have respect for people who work in the tsa. They for some reason, always pull me aside to give me a thorough pat down. But a little intimacy never hurt. You know, buy me a drink first. But I respect the tsa. That being said, maybe we need to have a conversation about privatizing the tsa. Like, what if we privatize the TSA and every airport had to hire their own security? Maybe those security companies would be more incentivized to stop the bad guys than these federal government workers. And then also it wouldn't fall under the budgetary discretion of the federal government. So I think we're at an impasse right now. We're at an inflection point, if you're looking at these videos, where something needs to be done. We can't live in a country where every couple of months the Democrats are allowed to hold everything hostage and hold everything up. Remember last year, the Democrats did the Democrat shutdown. I think it was the longest shutdown in American history. And what did the Democrats get? Absolutely nothing but a bunch of theatrics and buffoonery and tomfoolery. And so I am praying for everyone traveling right now. I mean, I'm looking at these videos. I can't help but think about the parents with the young children. What if you have to go change your kid's diaper and you're in a security line for six hours? Six hours. What about the elderly? I was on a flight recently, several flights, and they kept getting canceled, kept getting canceled, going through Chicago, and I ended up waiting around with some elderly folks. They said, well, we don't know how to get to the hotel. The airport said, you need to use a QR code to get information. They said, we don't know what we're doing. They're on walkers and canes and wheelchairs. I mean, this is just a disaster. And we're supposed to be a first world country, land of the free, home of the brave. We don't have airports that work because the Democrats want to hold the country hostage. Let me read you a little bit more because we've compiled a ton of notes on this right now. So they've also reported huge outages because more than 400 TSA employees have quit their jobs. Now, we also found out last week Elon Musk has offered to pay the salaries of these TSA workers. Now, I know this is very nice for Elon Musk. I'm looking at the tweet right here. He said, I'd like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country. This tweet has 81.3 million views. I'm grateful Elon Musk wants to pay. He's got hundreds of billions of dollars. Shout out to Elon. But it's not Elon Musk's job to pay our TSA workers. What if the tax dollars we already pay? You want to talk about tax season? What about the tax dollars we already pay if they just use that. You know what I'm saying? I don't understand what the Democrats are doing. But the Democrats have no identity beyond holding the country hostage. All they know are theatrics. The Democrats have no policies, no platforms, no anything. All they know are these theatrics because they're a bunch of overgrown theater kids. So I'm praying for everyone traveling. But now we got to move on and talk about the Bachelorette who has been cancelled. Well, up until last week, I had no idea who Taylor, Frankie, Paul was, okay? I had no idea who this person was. I never watched the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, but I have so many friends who watch the show. They say it's trashy but delicious. And incredible. Well, Taylor Frankie Paul was supposed to be the new Bachelorette. She's 31 years old. She's a reality star. She's cute, she's bubbly. She's cute enough actually looking at the picture. Okay, she's not, she's not a supermodel here, but she's cute enough. She was supposed to be the new Bachelorette. Last week it all came crumbling and crashing down for the folks over at ABC Disney because a video resurfaced from a 2023 domestic violence situation between her and her ex Dakota, where allegedly, some folks are saying the five year old got hit with a chair. Basically, it looks like a bunch of chaos. We've got the video up on the screen. I've actually avoided watching this until now. I said, I want to watch the full thing on the show. So it was obtained by tmz. Here it is. And my situation is this, okay? You knew she was a reality, reality star when you signed her. You can't have it both ways. You can't have your cake and eat it too. So ABC signs this woman who's from a reality show to come and revive the Bachelorette, which is a failing ship. Okay? The Bachelorette has been a mess for years. They hire her and because of this video, they've now lost tens of millions of dollars and have canceled the entire season. But they knew, they absolutely knew that Taylor Frankie Paul had this in her because here's a video from a few years earlier where she was arrested.

So what's, what's your name? Taylor. The neighbors called in saying they heard a bunch of yelling.
- [11:08]
Taylor Frankie Paul
Sorry,

tell me what happened to me.
- [11:12]
Taylor Frankie Paul
He me in the garage and this is fine. I don't give a. I just wanna. I just wanna move on. I don't give a f about him. I just wanna move on.

She's jumping on my truck, slamming my doors. Like I. I think my truck door.
- [11:29]
Interviewer
Is that your white truck door?
- [11:30]
Link Lauren
Yeah, I think my truck door's broke.
- [11:32]
Interviewer
Like, have you had a little bit too much to drink tonight? I can smell that pretty strongly.
- [11:38]
Link Lauren
Sure.
- [11:38]
Taylor Frankie Paul
But not anything crazy. I went out on a girls night and I came home safe driving. I'm just sore emotionally.
- [11:48]
Link Lauren
So as you can see, Taylor Frankie Paul allegedly has a history of being a hot mess. And that has to be part of the calculation of why ABC signed her. Because the Bachelorette, that whole entire series really has some competition now. You've got other shows like Love island and other sort of trashy dating shows. I don't even understand why you have to be this great, morally upstanding person to be on the Bachelorette, isn't the point of the show that you're supposed to make out with guys in hot tubs and drink and party and have fun? I mean, a woman in a house with what, 20, 30 guys going room to room for months and months while cameras roll with no privacy, and now we're supposed to expect, you know, expect her to be some upstanding, great person with, you know, a clean cut background. You're just not gonna find that. And so what I would say to ABC and Disney is this, why don't you guys just run the season with a disclaimer, okay? Every woman I've spoke to has said, listen, we don't agree with Taylor, Frankie, Paul. We think it's horrible. There is violence in the home with a child present, but we still want to see the season. You know what I'm saying? We're still nosy folks who want to see what's going on. And why cancel the entire season? People can separate the art from the artist. I think part of it is the footage was probably boring. We know all of these couples, Almost all these couples, they break up the second filming stops. Okay? The second they stop filming, the couples break up. So it's a bunch of BS anyway. Maybe that's part of the reason they scrapped it and they're going to go back to the drawing board. But canceling Taylor, Frankie Paul, it also doesn't make sense because years ago, years ago, you guys canceled Chris Harrison, the host of the show, when he did absolutely nothing wrong. So where is the line? Chris Harrison, who was the host of the Bachelor and Bachelorette, I believe he was fired for defending Rachel kirkconnell. We have her name here. Yes, Rachel Kirk Connell. She faced backlash for attending an antebellum theater themed party. So he defends her and he gets dropped by the network. We don't even hear about him anymore. I don't know whatever happened to him. I wish him well, but he was fired. In my opinion, unfairly. So you guys want to produce a trashy reality show, but when the people end up being a little bit trashy and having a colorful past, you don't like it. So you got to make up your minds. And I think this is why a lot of people are turning off television in general. They'd rather just scroll on their phones.

And.

And also, speaking of the culture of reality television, because I grew up right watching the Osbournes, the Kardashians. I grew up in the era of reality tv. These shows glorify violence. They glorify the ending of relationships. There's nothing Andy Cohen and Bravo love more than when a couple comes on and their marriage crumbles. It fails, it falls apart, it collapses. Reality television producers love this. So on the one hand, you want to profit from and glorify violence and the ending of relationships and tumult and turmoil and chaos. But then when that really comes home to roost, you want to cancel the whole season. So I want to hear from you guys. What do you think? Where is the line? Shouldn't you just air this? Because look at the Real Housewives, right? They really set the stage for reality television. We have a clip. These are the types of things that you will see if you turn on Real Housewives in reality television.

19 times. Coming to my trap, you poor a guy in my ass, you.
- [15:26]
Link Lauren
So there you have it. Reality television profits from this violence. Families falling apart. But because Taylor, Frankie, Paul, I guess this video resurfaced from years ago. They're running and hiding their tails. So I am calling on a ABC Disney, just run the season. What they could do is they could do a special with her on domestic violence. The network could pay to send her to some type of anger management, some type of therapy. They could use it as a PSA because there's so many women out there and men who could relate, who have been involved in relationships where you get into fights. I have friends who've been in relationships where they get into knockdown, drag out fights in the middle of the night. And we're trying to do interventions to say, come on, you kumbaya, come back to life. You guys need to separate and you're trying to intervene. So I think it would actually be a relatable moment if they aired the season. But they also did some extra episodes on her, maybe turning her life around or what happens when you're in a violent relationship. They could have used it as a learning lesson. Instead, they're just scrapping and wasting tens of millions of dollars. So we will see what happens with this. I don't think the fat lady has sung yet. I think Taylor, Frankie Paul is going to have a lot more to say. I imagine she'll be suing the network. I've heard that some of the men who are on the season of the Bachelorette, they're also going to be suing. So we will keep you posted on everything happening with Taylor, Frankie, Paul.

Well, there's nothing these elite democrats in Washington, D.C. love more than wasting your dollars, okay? You might give money to a candidate you love. Let me just tell you, nine times out of ten they are blowing it on hotels, trips, caviar, food. That money is going down the drain. So that's why I always tell my friends, unless you really support really, really, really support a political candidate, don't give them money, okay? Do not give them money. In AOC Alexandria, Ocasio Cortez. She's in some hot water right now because according to new filings, she allegedly spent $19,000 on a therapist that specializes in ketamine treatment. Let me read you all the details so her campaign paid nearly $19,000 to a psychiatrist known for ketamine treatments last year, listing the payments as leadership training and consulting. Now, her committee sent three payments to Dr. Brian Boyle totaling $18,725 across 2025. Now, they apparently hired this doctor, the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on novel therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street. Let me just tell you, okay? When AOC is spending $19,000 on ketamine treatments and therapy, it might be time for her to pack it up. It might be time for AOC to pack it up. Now, there are different types of therapies that work for everyone. I'm not knocking what might work for you or what might work for the next guy, but when you're spending 19,000 from your constituents who are giving you their hard earned money, they're people making minimum wage bartending, like AOC used to do. Bartending, working in restaurants, hustling, working for the post office. They're going to give you 10 bucks, 20 bucks, 30 bucks if they can, to support you because they believe in your message, they follow you, they believe in your campaign and what you stand for. So spending $19,000 on anything, it better be darn important. But this is who the Democrats are, okay? They will blow your money and then laugh and not care what so ever. Now, in my opinion, I think AOC could benefit from some therapy. She seems a little confused on where she stands sometimes. You know, she'll be great one minute, the second she's fumbling and falling down, and she can't even form coherent sentences. So I don't know what's going on with AOC. If she needs to spend 19,000 on some type of therapy, I wish her well, I'll pray for her. But this isn't the first time AOC has been caught spending frivolous, exorbitant amounts of cash. If you remember, AOC and Bernie Sanders spent tons of money on private jets on her Fighting the Oligarchy tour. So she's fighting the oligarchy, but she's spending $15,000 an hour on private jets with Bernie Sanders. Now, I don't blame them for not wanting to fly commercial these days. Look at the airports. Look at the airports. The lines are six hours long. But then again, these congressmen and senators, they don't have to wait in lines. They have private, private escorts through the airports. Private security, right? So they don't have to deal with the issues that you and I deal with. But AOC spending $19,000 on a therapist. What a waste. And it makes us want to go look under the hood a little more. What else is she wasting money on? Look at Nick Shirley in Minnesota with Tim Walls and all of the fraud there with the Somali daycare centers. There is fraud everywhere. And where there's smoke, there's fire. And I think more people are going to be looking into AOC's filings, because how are you going to spend 15,000 an hour on private jets on the Fighting the oligarchy tour? $19,000 on ketamine treatments that you say are leadership services? How are you going to do all that and then say you're the voice of working class Americans, the forgotten men and women of this country? It's why you are a fool, aoc. But now I want to move on to another woman. I can't stand in the political arena at this point. Gavin Newsom's wife, who he doesn't even call his wife. He calls her the first partner. I think she is just a radical Marxist bizarre bimbo. Every time I hear from Jennifer Newsom, I feel like I'm losing brain cells. Like I feel my brain cells shrinking and dying because the woman is a buffoon. And I want to start with the whole first partner situation of it all. Before we get to the clips, I have a Newsom and this woman have multiple children together, and he calls her the first partner. Ladies watching right now, ladies and gentlemen. Okay? If you give your husband or wife multiple children, imagine a woman gives a man multiple, multiple kids. Put or bought, puts her body through the ringer, births the kids, raises the kids, gets them into school, gets the homework done. And the husband won't even call you a wife. The husband calls you the first partner. You might want to rethink that relationship. You've given that man how many kids and he's calling you the first partner. Well, Jennifer Newsom, two clips have gone viral over the weekend. And I want to play you this first clip and then discuss.
- [23:42]
Jennifer Newsom
What I will say is that I don't know if our country is ready for first partner. Okay. Sadly, I don't know if they are. I'd like to think, and I'm going to work really, really, really, really hard for people to see what's been rendered invisible and devalued in our society. And to go, oh, that's actually important. It's not always a woman behind a man, but the partnership is what's important. And then partnership will make the world go round.
- [24:11]
Link Lauren
Partnership will make the world go round. What is this liberal garbledygoop crap that Jennifer Newsom is always spewing. It's a mix between sort of Marxism, George Orwell and then liberal California woman who lives in her ivory tower. If you put all of that together, that concoction creates Jennifer Newsome. And then you throw on some sort of, you know, native jewelry she probably got on vacation in Santa Fe. Put that all together, you've got Gavin Newsom's first partner. What the hell is she even talking about? She says this is so important. America might not be ready for a first partner. What? Americans are trying to pay their bills, put their kids through school, take care of sick relatives, okay? They gotta go get the inspection checked on the car. Americans have day to day issues. No one gives a rat's ass what terminology you want to use if you get into office, okay? America isn't ready for a first partner. Sweetie, your fire hydrants didn't even have water in California and you're worried about what terminology we're going to be calling you? Your priorities are all out of whack, okay? And one thing I love to call people on is when their priorities are out of whack, they need to get it together. They need to get it together. When your fire hydrants have water, when the homelessness is, is cleaned up off the streets of California, when you stop running a deficit of tens of billions of dollars, then we'll listen to you. Then you can opine on whatever liberal terminology you want to use to define yourselves. But now I'm bored. I'm bored, I'm sick, I'm disgusted. I think Jennifer Newsom would be the absolute worst first lady in American history. And I'll tell you why. The folks who say I'm for everybody, kumbaya, I'm the first partner. It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, gender non conforming person, they are going to be the most exclusionary first couple we have ever seen. Because the people who preach about diversity, equity and inclusion on the left, they're always the most racist, the most sexist and they always exclude anybody who happens to think differently from them. So I don't want to belabor the point, but I want to look at one last clip from Jennifer Newsom where she talks about same sex couples and how much we have to learn from, from them.
- [26:23]
Jennifer Newsom
There's so much to learn from same sex couples who have learned to communicate and who also are like, well, look, you know, someone's got to do the care work in a same sex male Couple. Someone's got to do that. So I'm just going to do it. And this is like. And not be afraid or ashamed because it's part of being human. We're all on a spectrum, right? It's just how society kind of pushes us and pressures us into these limiting gender roles. But again, the folks on the far right, they're missing is just this. They're living in this silo, this evangelical conservative silo that ultimately is. It's just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don't deserve to be.
- [27:04]
Link Lauren
I just said it. I will say it again. Your fire hydrants don't have water. Your streets are full of homeless people. When I'm in Los Angeles, I have to step over needles to walk into restaurants, okay? You're building bridges to nowhere, and you're sitting in an interview talking about we're all on a spectrum of gender and Cumberland by yah, let's hold hands and braid each other's armpit hair. Please shut the hell up. The best thing Gavin Newsom could do, okay, is tell his wife, please stop doing interviews. Excuse me, not his wife, his first partner. Tell her to stop doing interviews because this isn't helping. And then she wants to make fun of people who are, quote, unquote, evangelical. She says they're on the far right. Guess what? If your husband is in a general election, someday you're going to need a broad coalition to get into office, okay? You're going to need the evangelical vote. You're going to need things in order to push you over the fence. Finish line. So I don't know why you're knocking any group, but this goes to my previous point and the points that I've made for years and years and years. The folks who preach about diversity, equity, inclusion, acceptance, and all this liberal crap, okay, they're going to be the first ones to make sweeping generalizations about groups of people, right? Not everybody on the right thinks the same way. We have free speech. We believe in the First Amendment. We are allowed to have an open debate of ideas. But Jennifer Newsom, you see, she's sort of doing what Joe Biden did, you know, calling half the country garbage when Hillary Clinton called half the country deplorables. That's what Jennifer Newsom is already inching into. And so when her husband, if her husband runs for president, I think it would behoove him to have her speak less. Now, speaking of the party of tolerance, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former White House press secretary and the Governor of Arkansas. She was apparently asked to leave a restaurant all because she's a Republican. So these people who say they love DEI Kumbaya diversity, they don't like diversity of thought. Okay? And I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There's no one more maligned in modern society than a conservative woman. We've seen it time and time again. You can see the double standards in the media. The way the media has covered liberal first ladies, the way they cover Republican first ladies, the way sort of the literati and the establishment treat women who are on the left versus women who are on the right. And so I feel for all the conservative women who have been mistreated. I know a majority of my audience, you're conservative, but we got some independents, some folks on the left as well. And it just sickens me that we're in this era now where someone can't go and eat at a restaurant without being asked to leave. And I want to read you Sarah Huckabee Sanders statement. Last week, I was having lunch with two other moms at a restaurant when the owner approached a member of the State Police executive production detail and said my presence made their employees feel threatened and told us to leave. This is absolutely gross. Okay? The fact that she could not sit there and enjoy her meal is an embarrassment for this establishment. Let me read you the rest of this. The battle in this country is no longer between the left versus the right. It's between the normal and the crazy. And I could not agree more with Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I've said this for years. I don't actually think the country is so much left versus right. It's between those who love the United States of America and those who seek to destroy it. And so shame on these folks who are running her out of restaurants. But this isn't the first time this has happened, right? Let's say someone wears a MAGA hat to a restaurant. You don't have to be maga. You don't have to love anything having to do with maga. But that person in the MAGA hat should be allowed to sit there and eat. So we'll be tracking this. There's so many instances where this happens. I'm sure when I read the comments, you guys are going to tell me situations you've happened. They're people who've been thrown out of family reunions, family gatherings. They've been made to feel uncomfortable, all because they don't want to vote blue. And these folks on the left, they do not accept anything but going along with their pre prescribed doctrine, debt can feel like everything is piling up. The bank fees the collector calls like it's getting worse every month and if nothing changes it will. But listen, it's time to fight back because a fresh start is possible.

Well, the Duke and Duchess of Scamalot, Harry and Meghan have scammed one too many times. Netflix dropped them like a hot potato. Netflix said, we're done with you guys, okay? We're not getting a return on our investment. And according to Page Six Variety, there is bad blood between Ted Sarandos, the head of Netflix, and Meghan Markle. Apparently, Ted Sarandos, the head of Netflix, has unfollowed as ever and Meghan Markle on Instagram, and he doesn't even want to talk to her on the phone without a lawyer present. Which is smart, okay? Because I think Harry and Meghan are very litigious. They sue all of these newspapers and magazines. They're always in some type of lawsuit. I can't even keep up with all the lawsuits, okay? They're always suing. They're sue happy, okay? They're litigious people. So I don't blame Netflix, this massive, massive, multi billion dollar company, for wanting to have lawyers present when they talk to Meghan Markle because I think, in my opinion, she has a screw loose. Now, I read in one article, Netflix apparently has $10 million worth of products they can't give away. Okay? Now, I tried the jams, the jellies, I tried the orange marmalade, the flower sprinkles. I think what we should do, give Meghan Markle's products to the military and they can use them to get information out of people they have in custody. Okay? We could actually use this as torture. Okay? No more waterboarding. Just have someone eat a few bites of Meghan Markle's jams and they will be spilling secrets in a heartbeat. Okay? Make them eat a croissant with her flower sprinkles it. They'll be gagging and telling you anything you want to know. So I think we could use Meghan Markle's products for torture or in some type of interrogation. I think that would work, but it's just funny to me. Meghan Markle, right? She's trying to spin this as a positive. Of course her team is going to try and say she's just this female founder, okay? She's taking her country, her company, under her own wing. She doesn't need Netflix anymore. No, no, no, no, no. You don't leave Netflix of your own volition. In my opinion, okay? They were the only big companies that was still hanging on, okay? No other big company was interested in Harry and Megan because there just aren't dollar signs there. And this is a capitalistic institution we're talking about, right? Capitalism, the free market. If you have a brand and no one's buying it, I don't care if you say it's sold out. I think something is awry with the as ever brand. Because when I see all these stories that they're trying to give the products away, that doesn't make you make me think you're running a great business. Like Kim Kardashian with skims, right? I believe she's selling a bunch of shapewear and bras and underwear and whatever the hell she's selling with skims. I believe that with Meghan Markle. When you look on the Internet, you can barely find people who have her products. In fact, I think I was one of the few people who bought her products and really reviewed them step by step by step. And then the candle didn't even have a witness. And then I heard from other people their candles didn't have wicks. And so you've got a quality control issue and then you've got a branding issue. The last thing I'll say is this. What made Prince Harry and Meghan Markle interesting is that they left the royal family, okay? They left the royal Family. They lied, they accused them of racism, they spewed all their BS on Oprah. They did the six part docu series. That was it. They got all of the juice out of that squeeze. There's nothing else that's interesting about Meghan Markle. If there was anything interesting, we would have seen it the first 40 years of her life when she was hustling to try to make it in Hollywood, you know what I'm saying? She would have hit it big then, but now we've basically got these two little grifters. They're going to get more desperate. I'm sure we will see. Archie and Lily bet more and more and more on her social media as she tries to peddle her products, build her brand. Because those little kids, they are still royal. Do I think they should be in line for the throne? I don't know because one of the kids has never even stepped foot in the uk. But they are in line for the throne and I think Meghan and Harry see the Kardashians and how the Kardashians they raised Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Now you've got the next generation of Northwest and Mason and all the generations of the Kardashians. Right? And I think Harry and Megan are like, okay, we're getting more desperate. We're gonna have to use the kids to generate a little bit of press. But I don't blame Netflix for parting ways. There are also stories about and Meghan Markle behaved in meetings, and I'm sure she would chalk it up to sexism, racism. No one is judging you because you're a woman. No one's judging you because of the color of your skin. We're judging you because maybe you're just not a good person. And I think Harry and Megan need to go away for a long time. Go away, do something philanthropic. Do something meaningful without cameras on you, okay? And then come back in five years, maybe 10 years when the kids are older. But Harry and Meghan, they've tried everything in Hollywood. They've thrown everything against the wall to see what sticks. This e commerce business, the reality show, the cooking show, the Christmas special, nothing is sticking. And so Netflix said, peace, we're done. Harry and Meghan, good luck to you. I don't think we'll be seeing you much more in Hollywood. Well, my friends, thanks so much for tuning into Spot on with Link. Lauren, I brought my microphone. I hope the audio was okay while we are traveling. But I love all of you. I hope you have an amazing week. And if you are travel, traveling and going through tsa, I'm thinking about you and I mean that genuinely. I worry about you guys. I think, okay, how are you doing? How are your lives going? How are your families? And so if you're traveling this weekend, just please be vigilant, please be cautious. And then, of course, you got to show up really, really early at the airport. So I love you guys. We will see you back on Wednesday with a new episode. By.
