Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. We have a bunch of hot topics to get into today. I hope you are doing well. I know a ton of people were affected by this horrific snowstorm. People on my team were affected on Monday and Tuesday. But we're here living on a prayer and making it work. So I'm sending love to all of you. I know some folks don't have power. They've gone to hotels, their dogs. They've taken everything, packed it in the car, and they've gone and run to try to find some safety and security because of this insane snowstorm. But it seems like it's behind us. We're just waiting for a lot of the snow to melt and to thaw and to go away and to evaporate and any other scientific terms I could pull out right now. So we're waiting for the snow to dissipate and go away so we can move on with our daily lives. And it's interesting, some of these cities are so not equipped to handle any little bit of snow. It's very funny to me, like living in New York City for years, I'm always shocked at how ill equipped they are for the snow and the ice and maybe it's that way in your town. I know I have friends in Nashville who were incredibly affected by what happened. And so I'm sending love to all of you. But we're going to dive into some hot topics and try to distract you from everything going on in the real world for about half an hour, 45 minutes right now. So the first story I want to get into, okay, has to do with Bill Maher. Now, you guys know I am not aligned with Bill Maher on everything, but we are aligned on the fact that we are tired of the woke crap in Hollywood, okay? We are both very anti woke. We're done with the men and women's sports, the open borders, the crap, the 15th, different pronouns. So I am so aligned with Bill Maher and all of that. And he is a legend in television, right? So Bill Maher, he is calling out other celebrities for virtue signaling. Now, virtue signaling is basically when the celebrities go online or TV and they try to tell us all how to live our lives. They opine and say, this is what you should do. This is who you should vote for. This is who you should support in an election. But then it doesn't have any bearing on their lives, right? They don't have anything to do with it because they live in massive mansions and gated communities. Sort of like George Clooney. Remember, George Clooney wrote that letter during the election saying, you know, biden needs to drop out and we need to do this. And then George Clooney said, I can't live in California because of the policies. I'm moving to Europe, sir. We don't need the virtue signaling, okay? That is virtue signaling to a T. So let me tell you what's going on with Bill Maher. So he told the California Post that it's time for Hollywood celebrities to shut up. Here's the quote. Hollywood is sort of the epicenter of the woke left. I don't think they're doing the Democratic party any favors. I think if Democrats want to win elections in the future, job one, tell the celebrities to just shut the f up. You're not helping. You don't strike people in most of the country as sensible or in touch with reality. Thank you, Bill Maher. Thank you so much. It's like when Ellen DeGeneres, you know, wants to opine on American politics, but then she picks up with her billion dollars and flees to, you know, the English countryside just because she. Or when Oprah goes out there. Remember Oprah before the last election? She came out and endorsed Kamala. And Oprah was like, you guys, if you don't vote for Kamala, we will never have another election ever. And it's like, oprah, people used to like you. I mean, some of my quotes, I tell myself, are things Oprah said 10, 15 years ago. So I can't stand Oprah Right. I think she's a joke and a partisan liberal hack, but I still have some of those quotes in my head. So it's folks like Oprah, George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres who want to virtue signal and tell us all how to live our lives. I think what's tough for these Hollywood celebrities is that they have absolutely no influence left. No one cares anymore. People are either following influencers or they're just not following celebrities at all. They're following politics. I think we sort of lost that era of celebrity in 2015, 2016. That's when celebrities really found out they had no influence, because every big celebrity, everyone, Beyonce, all of them, you know, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, they came out and they endorsed Hillary Clinton. Well, guess what? Hillary Clinton lost. Hillary Clinton lost. And then they did the same thing in 2024 with Kamala Harris. Every big celebrity had to fall in line and endorse Kamala Harris, maybe because their agencies told them to or what have you. She lost the popular vote in every single swing state. So these celebrities have absolutely no influence whatsoever. And so Bill Maher is spot on. Bill Maher is spot on for saying these celebrities need to stop virtue signaling. Now, someone we've never talked about on the show is Kristen Stewart. Now, you might remember Kristen Stewart from those Twilight films. You know, the little vampires. I look like I could be in Twilight. I'm kind of pale with big eyes, with an ambiguous age. I could be 105. I could be 18. We don't know. So anyway, Kristen Stewart, she's also in the news right now because she's sort of virtue signaling. Let me read you this. Okay? So she says she might move out of the United States because President Trump has proposed a tariff on films made outside of the US which he announced in September. Now, she revealed in an interview with the Times that she's adjusting her directing career. I didn't know she had a directing career around being able to create films in Europe because she can't work freely in America. She added that Trump's threat of tariffs on movies made outside the country is terrifying. She said reality is completely breaking under Trump, but we should take a page out of his book and create the reality we want to live in. She's so dramatic. Bitch. First off, let me just say this. Y' all can say what you want about my hair, Okay? I understand. I have, like, a questionable hairline, and I have hit or miss days with the hair. Okay? The personality is top, is top notch. The hair. Sometimes we have a rough day. Kristen Stewart, looking at her on the screen, I would never take life advice from a woman with that kind of blunt bang, okay? I don't need to take life advice from a woman who looks like she had a meltdown in Bushwick, Brooklyn and took some scissors at 4am and cut her hair, okay? When you have, like, the mental breakdown, bang with the mullet. I'm done. I'm done. I'm not going to take life advice from you. Moving on. So I looked up you guys before the show, I looked up her net worth. You know, I'm nosy. I was like, how much is she worth? Okay. I was thinking, is she worth 10 million? Is she worth 100 million? In between, she's worth about $70 million. So this woman who's worth $70 million, okay, she wants us to think that she's relatable, right? She's so relatable, she's going to go to Europe and direct films because she can't stand President Donald Trump. We don't care about you, Kristen Stewart. No one cares. We barely remember you. Those Twilight films were so long ago. Okay? I think I was 10 years old, 10 years old when Twilight came out. Okay? I love the soundtrack. I liked Robert Pattinson. I was more Team Vampire than the W. For those of you who get the reference, what was it? Jacob and Edward. So no, Kristen Stewart, go to Europe. Direct your European films. We're happy for you. But not everything has to be a political statement. Now, President Trump is also working on bringing back the film industry to the United States. So to wrap up this whole segment on films and Hollywood, let me read you what's going on. So shortly after Kristen Stewart's comments, President Trump happened to make an announcement that he wants to make Hollywood great again. Thank you. It's what we need. Okay? Make Hollywood great again. The bar is low. So he plans to slap tariffs on foreign made films and launch a new bond program for studios to boost Los Angeles moviemaking dominance. Now, Gavin Newsom should be sending him a thank you card, okay. Because this is going to benefit Californians. It's going to benefit people working out there. I mean, every other week, you know, there's some strike in Hollywood. The actors are striking. SAG is striking. So reviving Hollywood in the film industry, the fact that President Trump is doing this, all, all of you folks in California should be saying, thank you, President Trump. Okay? So here's what he said. I know a lot of people in that industry and they said, we are dying not to go to Canada, not to go to Australia, not to go to places that take 20 hours on an airplane. We would love to do it in Los Angeles and I'll be getting that. He also added, I want to bring the movie, movie business back to Los Angeles in particular. So all of these liberals in the film industry who act like they hate Trump and they have Trump derangement syndrome, y' all can thank him for bringing the film, film industry back, back, back, back, back again. Okay? And President Trump, he's the consummate entertainer, right? So I'm excited to see what he's going to do with the film industry. And there are folks online who say, why is he focusing on this? This seems frivolous. Hello. What about all the unions and the folks striking and the people who work on films, whether it's craft services, you know, the food that's laid out on set, whether it's the people adjusting the microphones, the lighting, carrying the gear. It's not just the big movie stars who make up the film industry. They employ a gazillion people. So him bringing those jobs back to the film industry is going to help create more jobs in general for the United States of America. So thank you, President Trump, Kristen Stewart.

Love the movie, but what does it mean? So, Alex Cooper, she is complaining that women basically don't have a fair shake and women can't get ahead in life. I want to just play you this clip and then we'll talk about it.

We have never in the history of time ever had a woman be the President of the United States. It almost has become, oh, well, that's just normal. No, no, that's not normal. Men are the only ones who have ever held the highest position in the government. No woman. But yes, we're so equal. Well, actually, we're legally not equal to men. And that is a great point. How could a woman even be the President of the United States when we don't even have equal rights to half of the population that the woman would be governing over? Women are still not equal to men. It is 2026. What the fuck is wrong with the world?

So one thing I love about the United States of America is that we have the first Amendment and we have free speech. And I always encourage people to get active in politics, right? If you have a cell phone and a wi FI connection, you can get involved in politics. But sometimes people who've been on the sidelines and haven't been political, when they try to jump in at the 11th hour, they sound like idiots, okay? And Alex Cooper, you sound like the village idiot. You also sound like such a disgrace to women because all the women I know, the women watching this, I was raised by a strong woman. My life is full of strong, powerful women. They're not walking around like victims. They don't feel like, oh, we can't get ahead in life because of the chromosomes that we have, right? Alex Cooper is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. She has a huge contract and she's complaining women don't have equal rights. She's doing better than 99% of the men. 99% of the men. You know what I'm saying? So the fact that she says women don't have equal rights because I guess a woman hasn't yet. It's merit based. Hillary Clinton, okay? She was a flawed candidate. Very flawed candidate. And unlikable. Didn't have anything to do with her gender. That's not why she lost Kamala Harris. She didn't lose because of her skin color, her gender, or any sort of superficial traits. She lost because she was terrible. She lost because she was a cackling hyena who was probably face down in a box of wine every morning, you know what I'm saying? So this is why we haven't had a woman president yet. We could have a woman president in 28 and 32 and 36. It just has to be based off of merit. But the fact that Alex Cooper sat down for one hour, interviewed Michelle Obama and she suddenly sold on this idea of identity politics because that's what the Democrats have and cling to is so laughable to me. We don't need identity politics, right? We don't need, we don't need to vote because someone happens to be a woman or a man or black or white or Asian or Hispanic, what have you. I will vote for the person who I think is going to make my life better that happens to be a man. Great. If it happens to be a woman, great. It doesn't matter. We're not judging it on that way. We're judging it based off of merit. That's what I love about the current administration. You have such a cornucopia of different people. Some folks who've never served in government before, but they were chosen because of what they bring to the table. Their unique perspective, their life experiences and all of their talents and their skills and their intelligence. And so for Alex Cooper, I think it's very hypocritical for her to say that women don't have a fair shake and women don't have equal rights. There are plenty of countries where women really don't have equal rights. There are countries where women just got the right to drive. Women can't really go out without their husband's blessing, knowing where they're going to go to and fro. And so for Alex Cooper, I think she should look into these other countries where women really don't have rights and are treated like second class citizens and she should open up a history book. But at least she's trying to get somewhat engaged in politics. But I think sitting down with Michelle Obama in 2026, it's like, it's a little too passe for me. Michelle Obama's moment was like 2012, 14, 16. It's like you're sitting down with someone who is relevant 10 years ago and is still living by the playbook of the Democratic Party 10 years ago. And so I want to move on to a topic that's at the intersection of culture and politics and that is Bad Bunny. So Bad Bunny, he's a Puerto Rican singer. He is going to be performing at the Super Bowl. I know some folks say we want an American performer. Puerto Rico is a part of. Okay, I'm not in Mensa, okay, But I have a pretty high iq. Puerto Rico is a part of America. So we have a Puerto Rican guy. He's performing at the Super Bowl. I don't know any of his songs. I'm sure if I heard some of them, I would enjoy dancing to them. But he's become very politically outspoken. You know, he doesn't like ice. He doesn't like the deportations, he doesn't like the immigration policy. You know, tough shit, tough shit, bad bunny. Go out there and sing and perform. Here's my thing with the halftime show. Sports are supposed to be the great unifier and equalizer and bring people together from all walks of life. Like everybody in that stad. Okay, where is, where's the super bowl happening? I don't even know. Someone tell me in my ear. So at that stadium at the super bowl, you're going to have people who are conservative, Republican, Maga, Maha, independent, Democrat, liberal, socialist, you name it. Libertarian. Everybody coming together, okay? 60,000 people, okay? So it's going to be at 49er Stadium. I was just told by the person in my ear. So you have all these people coming together at 49er Stadium. The musician and the performer of the halftime show should be bipartisan and bring people together. Not everything has to be a political statement. But he is allegedly gearing up to make political statements. There are rumors, there are rumors online that he was going to wear a dress to show his support for the queer Latin community. Let me tell you as a gay person, we don't need queer representation at the halftime show. Go out there, sing, dance, do your thing. And all these artists, okay, all these artists right now. And Harry Styles does this too. I want to put on dresses and do sort of the gender non conforming, ambiguous style. This is nothing new. Go look at the 80s and the 70s. Look at David Bowie. Look at the glamrock guys and makeup and heels and look at all of those folks, the new romantics era. Look at Boy George. None of this is new under the sun, right? Questioning gender norms and pushing those boundaries. It's like, look at the 70s and the 80s, everything that was going on there. I mean, I heard from women on social media who said their husbands used to spike their hair and do eyeliner and stuff when they went out decades ago. And it was just a different time. And so I think it's funny, these guys, when they play around with gender norms. They think they're really being groundbreaking, but it's actually been done before so many times, so, so, so many times. If you look up all the big stars of the 70s and the 80s, there was a level of androgyny to all of them. Michael Jackson, huge star. I love Michael Jackson. There's an element of androgyny to Michael Jackson. All the big stars have that. And so when you see Bad Bunny thinking he's being groundbreaking, go out there, do your little dance, collect your check and shut up. You don't have to overhaul your whole life in 2026.

Now we have an update of Crockett's Corner. Identity theft is back. 911 I'd like to report identity theft Jasmine Crockett Ms. Crack a lack of Crockett. She's adopted a new Persona. Okay, so Jasmine Crockett a few Weeks ago. She's with a drag queen and she says she loves the LGBTQIAR 2D2. I don't even know how many letters there are now in. I'm gay. So she's out pandering to them. Anytime she's in front of someone, Jasmine Crockett forgets she's on camera. And people can go and see the way she talked one day and then how she talks now. And we've discussed this before, right? She'll have different accents, different Personas, different policies. She just doesn't have any through line, okay? Because there's no soul there. She has no policies. She's just running for attention, in my opinion. So I want to play you this clip. She was in Amarillo, Texas, talking about how she's a gun toting woman. Listen, I'm a gun toting Texan, right?

Okay, as someone from Texas, let me start off by saying, has anyone seen that star? Has anyone seen the Starsky and Hutch movie from like 2004 or 5 with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson? Maybe we can put a picture up. But there was that Starsky and Hutch reboot with Snoop Dogg, and he played like Pooh Bear or Honey Bear or Honeydew, and he kind of was like a pimp. He was kind of like this pimp daddy guy, Snoop Dogg. And he had this, like, hat. She kind of is looking like Pooh Bear, Honey Bear. She looks kind of like Snoop Dogg in the Starsky and Hutch movies to me. I know that's a non sequitur, but Jasmine Crockett, when she's in front of super liberal audiences in dc, she's probably like, we need gun rights and gun rights on the book and take the guns away and we shouldn't have this and this and that. And then when she's down in Amarillo, Texas, she's like, I am a gun toting Texan. If you ask her one question about firearms or ammunition or anything, give her a gun and ask her to take it apart, put it back together. She's not going to be able to do that. But Jasmine Crockett, she will tell you whatever you want. And that's sort of how the Democrats are. And there's some Republicans this way, too. In Congress. And in the Senate, President Trump's the most authentic person because he'll tell you exactly how he feels all the time. So he's in his own a league of his own. But a lot of these Democrats, like Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, and many others, they'll say whatever they have to say. When they're sitting in front of you, they don't care. They have no soul. If they're talking to one audience, they're pandering to you. They're talking to another, they're pandering to you. They're trying different accents, personalities, their life stories change overnight. And so I don't take Jasmine Crockett seriously at all. And as a Texan, I think her Senate run is very entertaining. I think it's more of an audition from, like, for, like, Real Housewives or some type of show on Oxygen, Bad Girls Club than it is a real earnest campaign. Now, speaking of grifters who invent new personalities every single day, we have to talk about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Scamalot. They were at the Sundance Film Festival. I mean, what a fall from grace. Okay? They're at a film festival doing the red carpet. Like wannabe influencers and celebrities when they were real royalty, right? People would have been FL flying to see them. Celebrities who are at Sundance would have been jumping through rings of fire and hoops just to hang out with her. If she were still a duchess. Right? If she were still a duchess and living over in, you know, London eating crumpets and scones, people would be jumping through hoops to hang out with her. And now she's having to do these desperate PR stunts. So she's invented a new career. She's decided that there's not a lot of interest for her on camera. People aren't interested in any of her shows. They bomb. They do terribly. So she's produced a film and on the Girl Scouts program now. I love Girl Scouts. Shout out to the Girl Scouts if y' all want to send me some Thin Mints. I love Thin Mints. I love. What are the other ones called? Anyway, I love Girl Scout cookies, and I love the entrepreneurship of going door to door. I don't actually love it so much anymore unless you go with an adult. I think times have changed if we want to have this conversation. If I were a parent, I wouldn't want my kids going door to door selling candy or cookies or popcorn. Like, when I was in Boy Scouts, I think we had to do popcorn. I think the world is just scarier and a little more dangerous. I wouldn't want that. But back to the topic at hand. Meghan Markle is producing this film on Girl Scouts, and she was asked if she thought her own daughter would ever be part of the Girl Scouts program. And she didn't say yes, which I thought was hypocritical, because she's producing this film on how great Girl Scouts are. Let's take a look at the clip. The question you have a young daughter. She's maybe a little bit too young for Scouts at this point. Do you want Lilibet to be part of Girl Scouts?

It's interesting. I think we'll consider, explore, continue to explore, whatever feels right. But Alyssa's also a mom of a daughter, and I think for both of us working on this project, it's been incredibly special as parents, as mothers, to be able to see something that our girls will be able to watch and enjoy as well.

Now, I just found it weird that she's doing a film on Scouts, and then she deflects from the conversation around her own daughter being in Girl Scouts. Like, if it were me, if I'm producing a film on Girl Scouts, and I said, would your kid be in Scouts? I say, yes. I love the program. But it's also weird to me that they're even doing a film on Girl Scouts. Like, why would you be doing a film on this if you didn't think it was a good enough program for your daughter? But, you know, we had some sleuths go in and look. I don't think the screenings are full. I don't think there's a lot of demand to go see Girl Scouts. I think there are a lot of empty seats. If you notice, you know, Harry and Meghan, they're not posting any pictures of the theaters or the screenings or the showings. And so I don't know if there's a lot of demand for a film about Girl Scouts, to be completely honest. I think some freaks and disgusting guys at home might want to watch it, to be honest, if we're going to go there. I don't know young girls who want to watch a movie or a show about Girl Scouts, they want to go out and play with their friends. And so I don't understand the business model, but I think Harry and Meghan are just poor decision makers in general. And it's just going back to the original conversation. They could have been Royals doing such good. They could have been doing just great philanthropic things, Right? Using the power of the bully pulpit of the royal family. Right? The British royal family and any royal family has a lot of influence and so they could have used that in the, the spotlight to highlight initiatives they're passionate about, causes they're passionate about. Now they're producing documentary documentaries on Girl Scouts. It's just weird to me. The whole thing is sad and pathetic and there's just this sheen of loserness across it all. This, this pathetic loser sheen across everything. And so Harry and Megan, if I were them, I would go away, take a few years from the spotlight, let people miss you. Okay? Let us miss you, miss you.

Now this Friday, first lady Melania Trump is officially releasing her feature film. You guys, this is not just another documentary. It's a real cinematic masterpiece. I'm not going to give away the plot. I'm not going to give away anything that happens. I'm not going to betray the trust of the First Lady. And I want you guys to watch it and to go in with an open mind. But there's this word documentary, right? When you think of a documentary, you think of something with bare bones, budget, maybe one camera. You know, I love that documentary, the Queen of Versailles. This is not the case that this is a feature film. It's directed by Brett Ratner, who did the Rush Hour franchise. Very talented. The whole entire team who worked on the film. So talented. And the first lady just meticulously working on it. You can see her vision and her creativity. And the other night, those of you who follow me on Instagram and social media, you know this. I had the immense privilege and fortune of attending a screening of the film at the White House. And I'm so incredibly grateful to be included. You guys. I never got invited to a single party in high school, okay? I was like a loser until two years ago. So when I'm in the White House, I'm like, what the heck am I doing here? But I can kind of make myself at home anywhere. And I love the first lady and the President so much that I felt at home. And I loved the film. And I was sitting there watching it going, am I loving the film because I love the first lady, right? Am I loving the film because I love her? And because we're in this beautiful, auspicious scenery, we're at the White House. No, I love the film, because it was genuinely awesome. Okay. I don't want to give it away, but the film is 20 days in first Lady Melania's truck. First Lady Melania Trump's life. We've never seen anything like this. Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, any former First Ladies. We've never seen behind the curtain, everything that goes into becoming first lady and balancing and juggling it all. And so I'm not going to give away the plot, but I was so incredibly grateful to be there. The energy. The energy that night at the White House was just so positive. The entire room was positive. The energy was positive. And I'm a big believer in that. Right? My mom, my grandfather, they always said, if you hang around crap, it's gonna rub off on you, but if you hang around good people, then you're gonna feel good and you're gonna feel better. And I just felt like everybody came together in a moment of love and unity and having a good time and celebrating the film. And the film wasn't super political, right? The film is something that I think Democrats would like, Republicans would like, independents would like, because it is just a look at what it takes to become first lady these days, leading up to the inauguration and everything that goes into it. And it'll be a feast for the eyes, for people who are into fashion. And I just don't want to give anything else away, but you guys know I love the President. I love the First Lady. I was so, so, so grateful to be included. It's one of those things. I'm like, okay, okay. I'm gonna have to tell my kids about this someday. I don't know where these kids are gonna come from, but when I have kids someday, I'm going to tell them about this. And it was also such a culmination because I have such a relationship with the Melania fan pages, right? All of the first lady fans, we know each other. They follow me, they repost me. And it felt like a full circle moment. Like, I kind of got in and brought them along with me. And so that's why it was important to share some pictures, share my thoughts on the film. I have 10 pictures you can go through on my Instagram. I put some on X and you can really see in the just entire night was positive. And I was so grateful to be there. And it was a diverse group of people, right? A diverse group of people from all different walks of life coming together, having a good time. In the film, it's a celebration of our country. It's a celebration of the American Dream. First lady Melania Trump, she came to this country with a dream, okay? She got her visa, she got her green card, she applied for citizenship, she raised her hand and said the Pledge of Allegiance. She went through the process. I wish more people would go through the correct process, okay? She did that. And she embodies the American dream. And that's what the film felt like. And it's going to be something that people watch throughout history. I think kids in school will study the film and in college they'll watch the film because we've never had a glimpse into how a first lady, a mother, a wife, a public figure puts everything together. And so I'm so excited for everyone to go see the film on Friday. Go with your girlfriends. If you don't have anyone to go with, go solo. I'm sure you'll make friends with other like minded individuals. Like when I was on the tour in October and I know some of you guys came to see in Fort Worth. If you don't have someone to go with, come because it's going to be a fun family atmosphere and you're going to meet other people. Now to close out the show, we're going to do a quick edition of Ask Link. Because I've gotten so many questions recently, I'm going to do two or three right now. The first question, okay, the first question is one that I've actually gotten a lot and it was about, can you be in a relationship, okay, with someone who's diametrically opposed to you when it comes to politics? Okay, so if you're really strongly Republican, can you date or be married to a Democrat? The answer, I don't think so at this point. I don't, I don't think with the political climate the way it is, if you've already been together, that that's one thing. But the way politics are right now, and they're so polarized, I just feel like there are just such differences and values between being far left and then being on the right. You gotta find someone who's aligned with you on those values. You can differ on one or two policies, right? Their relationships where someone's more pro choice, someone's more pro life, you can differ on policies, but overall with the way things are now, I think it's tough. I think it's tough. And you guys can drop some comments and tell me. I just think it's dicey at this point to date someone who has vastly different politics from you because it says a lot about who they are, how they might handle child Rearing how they feel about economics and finances and security and do they want a gun in the House? And their politics are going to inform a lot more of their decisions. If you'd asked me in 2008, 2009, the Democrat and Republican parties, they were differing on a few issues, but everyone could still kind of get along. It's just much more polarized right now. And so I actually don't think, think it's a good idea to date someone who has completely different politics from you. This next question is, if you were Prince Harry, would you have stayed or dipped out by now? Okay, Harry, I would have seen Meghan Markle coming from a thousand miles away. I think Princess Diana would have clocked Meghan Markle as a social climber and a grifter. She would have seen her coming a mile away. So for me, I would have never gotten married to someone that thirsty and fame hungry. But if I were Prince Harry, I definitely would have dipped out by now. Because you've. You have allowed this woman to come in, accuse your family of racism, lie about them, make money off of them, really put a wedge between you and your other familial relationships. That's on you as a man. That's on you as a man. You let that woman come in and do that. So as much as we want to hate on Meghan Markle, and there are lots of things to hate on, the man is not off the hook either. So if I were Prince Harry, yes, I would have dipped out by now. If I were in a relationship with someone who tried to form a wedge between me and my siblings, who said nasty things about my family, accused my family of racism in an Oprah interview. Yeah, I would have been out of there. I would have been out of there. And also, I think Meghan Markle, she's so scattered in her passions, she. She switches her job every other day. She wants to do movies, and then she wants to do clothes, and she wants to do this. She wants to do pretzels from one bag into another. She has such scattered passions. To me, that's a red flag that there's something deeper going on. There's some larger issues. So I would not have stayed with Meghan Markle, but if I had seen someone her in guy form, right. If I were dating a guy and saw some of those traits early on, I would have never gotten down the aisle. Right. That would have been me. And so Prince Harry, I think he should dip out of there. But also, it's Shakespearean in a way that he's sort of been, you know, foisted and at his own demise. Like he's in a bed of his own making and he almost has to just lay there. Well, my friends, that concludes this episode of Spot on with Link. Lauren, thank you so much for tuning in. We have a big episode coming on Friday because we got to make up for some of the snow and the weather and everything going on and so tune back in on Friday. I love you guys. Be safe, kiss your loved ones, and I can't wait to read all of your comments. I will see you guys Friday. Bye.
