Well my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren. Today is a good day. For a myriad of reasons, I could not be happier about this news I'm hearing as it pertains to men and women's sports. As you guys know, I have been passionate about this subject for years. I spoke about it at length in our very first episode. I did an entire monologue on why I'm passionate about keeping men out of women's sports, about protecting women, how my life has been shaped by the incredible strong women within it. And I'm disgusted by folks like Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut who want to keep men and women's sports. These are all a bunch of beta males who can't defend women. And I wonder what their daughters and their wives and their girlfriends think about them. We also have some updates on the Diddy trial. We have reached a verdict on the five counts. We'll be getting to that. We also will be discussing Alligator Alcatraz. Now, this is not something if you told me a year ago that I would have even believed would occur in the United States of America. But I love it. Okay, I'm jealous I was not invited to Alligator Alcatraz and I will tell you why in a few minutes. Later on in the show, we're going to give you an update as well on Rosie o' Donnell. We have a Rosie update. She's over in Ireland and she's still causing some chaos. She's still causing a stir, but I'm glad her herpes has Cleared up. And today on the show because of the news around men and women's sports and what's happening at UPenn, I have my friend Paula Scanlon coming on. She competed with Leah Will Thomas at Penn and she has been at the forefront of this issue working with Riley Gaines for years. They are best friends. They're basically sisters at this point. I could not be happier to have Paula Scanlon on. So we have a jam packed show. Let's dive right in.
- [02:36]
Paula Scanlon
In.
- [02:39]
Link
Well, I could not be more excited to have this guest on. I imagine she feels very vindicated today. She has been at the front lines of this issue for years trying to get men out of women's sports because no girl should have to share a locker room or sports team with a grown ass man. Especially someone who'd been a man their whole life and then just decided willy nilly, I'm going to be a woman and I want entree and carte blanche into all of these women's spaces. This is none other than Paula Scanlon. Paula, welcome to the show. I could not be more grateful to have you, especially on a day like today with all of this news breaking. Are you feeling vindicated by what you pen is doing, having to apologize?
- [03:14]
Paula Scanlon
I mean I definitely am but link, we haven't seen the apology yet so I'm very curious what they say. Is it going to be one of those apologies where they say something like I'm sorry that you felt bad, I'm sorry you felt like you were uncomfortable and that's your problem or is it going to say we messed up, we were in the wrong and we are sorry for the damage that we put you through. So I guess updates to come on that one. I'm still waiting for the apology but someone in the comments section on my ex the other day wrote that your apology should be written in cursive on hundred dollar bills and honestly I'm looking for that.
- [03:48]
Link
No, absolutely you guys deserve an apology. You, Riley, all your teammates. I want to go back to the start, right for people who might have no idea what's going on. Yesterday you were at the White House with Secretary of Education McMahon. I believe you were there with Riley Gaines as well and you pin decided to finally capitulate the what they should have done a long time ago. They're going to strip Lia Thomas of his titles. They're going to put the girls back on top and they're actually going to respect the biological differences between men and women and not allow men and women's spaces. But tell me about the first time Lia Thomas came onto your radar when you were at UPenn.
- [04:23]
Paula Scanlon
Oh, my gosh. It's. This is a story that started, actually, so many years ago. So I was a sophomore. It was 2019. I was a sophomore. I was 19 years old. Our coach called a mandatory team meeting, and he invited a member of the men's team to lead this women's team meeting. And so at the time going by William, William Thomas stood before the entire women's team and said, hey, guys, just really quickly wanted to let you know, I now identify as a woman. Please refer to me now with she, her pronouns. I'll be joining your team next season. And stay tuned, guys. I'm still picking my new name, so just keep posted on that. And this was back in 2019. And immediately I said to myself, where are the candid cameras? Is this a prank show? Is someone pulling up a prank on me? And I went online, and I found that there was something on the NCAA website called the Transgender Inclusion Handbook that said if you are a man competing on any women's sports team that you can identify as a woman, and within one year of taking testosterone suppressant, whatever that even is, you can join any women's sports team that you want to across d1, d2, d3. And the handbook was full of pictures of, quite literally, men wearing dresses, playing women's sports, saying that they're so happy. That was their evidence to why it was a good policy.
- [05:37]
Link
Wow. And when you spoke up at UPenn, what happened to you? I imagine you were ostracized. You were called transphobic, because that's always what they try to do. And, you know, I've been talking about this issue for years. That's how you and I became connected and became friends. I've been saying this is how they silence you. You say you don't want men and women's sports. You don't want kids injected with hormones. Suddenly you're transphobic. No. You're common sense. Tell me what it was like going to class and your peers, the way they treated you at Penn.
- [06:01]
Paula Scanlon
Well, actually, for the first time ever on X yesterday, I was feeling a little bit unhinged, as they say. And I posted a text message that I actually received from one of my teammates. I'm not sure if you saw that it was exactly that. She just said, you're disgusting. You're transphobic. How dare you have this viewpoint? That was the. The stance that a lot of people would publicly say. But what was so interesting is behind closed Doors, you'd get to a one on one conversation. The same people sending those messages and out loud to the group in their classes saying there was so much proud of the inclusion. They had the opposite stance. It was a lot of cowards. And exactly to your point, I first found your page, actually, because one of my really liberal friends told me that she did not agree with my viewpoint and she found your TikTok video talking about the issue. And you actually were the person that made her say, actually, Paula, I know that you probably are right on this and I see your point because this guy Link, he's onto something here and he presented it in a really wonderful way. So I'm grateful for you and getting some of these more insane people over onto our side and also, you know, getting the change across and helping, you know, people see really what, what actually is going on here. And it's not against anyone. This is pro woman.
- [07:11]
Link
Absolutely. No, it's funny because I think I was the only person who looked like me, talk like me, I'm like gay with bleach blonde hair on Tik tok saying we can't have men and women's sports. And I'll tell you why. It's like even Serena Williams, she spoke about, if I played against, you know, a man, I'm going to come in like 500th, you know what I'm saying? There's just no way. Even though Serena is at the top of her game and it's not a slight to women, there are biological differences between men and women. And what's crazy is these Ivy league universities in 2025 are actually going to have to start recognizing biology. Imagine sending your kid to a school where they can't tell you the difference between a man and a woman.
- [07:46]
Paula Scanlon
No, exactly. You know what was so funny, though? So obviously the University of Pennsylvania has a really, really good medical school research. They also do a lot of pediatric work, which is super important. And when the Trump administration first pulled funding from the University of Pennsylvania, okay, people were saying, you're denying their rights. You're taking away these young children's health care because Penn is such a great research center. And I responded back to one of these people and I said, guys, do you really want your top medical research institution in this country not know the difference between a man and a woman and perpetuating these lies and telling us a man belongs on our team? And I was saying, if they can't, if they can't figure that out, I don't want them having funding. I don't want them being the leading medical researcher in this country. And so I would love to see that. And I would love to see, again, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, a lot of these other big med schools, even nyu, where you went. Right. They need to know basic biological reality to be good researchers. And I think the whole thing is so interesting to me. We've maybe no one at University of Pennsylvania was even a biology major. I mean, it seems like there's not even doctors really studying an undergrad anymore. And if they are, what are they learning?
- [08:53]
Link
Absolutely. And I just want to go back real quick. You still, to this minute, have not received a formal. Formal apology from pan, correct?
- [09:02]
Paula Scanlon
No, it was just a blanket email that they sent, one to the athletic department and then one to, I think, the entire student body, just discussing the fact that they basically come to some terms of agreement with the Trump administration.
- [09:13]
Link
I still think unless they give you girls specifically a formal apology, the girls who they put through hell, ostracized, called transphobic. Unless they do that, I still think the funding should be stripped. I honestly don't understand why we're funding these schools that have billions of dollars in endowment anyway. But that's a whole separate conversation. You brought up these kids in transgender procedures. I wanted to read you some more good news that happened yesterday with Stanford Medicine and get your take. So Stanford Medicine has finally decided to stop doing gender affirming surgeries on patients younger than 19, joining Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and scaling back health care for transgender youth amid growing pressure from the Trump administration. Now, how are we feeling about this? I have been disgusted the last few years watching teenage girls get mastectomies, kids get sterilized, and it's the parents, I believe, who are sick, and the doctors who are radical liberals who are also sick. So isn't this another sign that we're moving in the right direction?
- [10:05]
Paula Scanlon
It is. But you know what's so funny is those same people were trying to tell us that they're not doing procedures on young children. So if you've stopped them, you were doing them. And so are they admitting that they've been doing these procedures this entire time? I mean, I don't really know what's going on here, but, yes, the winds keep on going. I think we also saw the Supreme Court case in Tennessee, right, where we're having. The state is able to say, yeah, we're not going to do these. And it's constitutionally correct for them to say, no, we're not going to have gender procedures in our state. It's not going to be a win, though, until all 50 states. And really, truly this issue. Yes, it was unfair for Lia Thomas to be on my team. I did not enjoy undressing with him in the locker room 18 times per week, do not get me wrong. But the bigger issue I have with this entire situation is the whole children being transitioned. I mean, we see people like Chloe Cole. The first time I met Chloe Cole, I wanted to cry. I wanted to give her a hug. I wanted all of these different emotions, because what she's gone through is nothing. I've gone through nothing compared to what Chloe's gone through. And I think that that is exactly why this is so maddening. And I think people are really opening their eyes up to how insane it is when we are quite literally cutting off the healthy body parts of underaged kids.
- [11:16]
Link
Absolutely. And then they try. I totally agree with what you're saying. They try and tell you this isn't happening. But when you look at the statistics, it's like hundreds and hundreds, thousands of young girls who are having mastectomies. They're being injected with hormones, and the trajectory of their entire lives is being affected. And back in the day, remember, we used to have, like, tomboys, right? You would have effeminate boys. Nobody was trying to trans them or inject them with horn. With hormones. Now, if your daughter, you know, likes to play or is a tomboy, you take her to the doctor. The doctor might be some radical who's like, well, she's transgender. You got to get her on the hormones now. So I still think. Tell me if you agree. I think the doctors who have performed these surgeries historically should be stripped of their licenses. Right. If you perform a trans surgery on a minor, I do not think you should be in the medical profession because you're pretty sick.
- [12:00]
Paula Scanlon
I'd like to one up that I think you should serve time in jail. I think that that should be equivalent to child abuse. I mean, not that there are no parents, but some form of, like, harming a minor. I mean, I'm not a lawyer. I don't really know. There's some. You know, there's some category this falls into, truly.
- [12:17]
Link
Right?
- [12:17]
Paula Scanlon
I mean, malpractice, at the very, very least. Absolutely. Should lose their license. I think they should. I think they should go to prison for doing that to. Why would you ever do that? They have a pledge to do no harm, and yet they're like, we're just gonna cut off the body parts of a little girl. And it's. It's good for her.
- [12:33]
Link
Well, absolutely. One thing I've been investigating, I'm still doing research on it now. And I spoke about this with Cali Means. I had Cali Means on my first episode. I'm sure you know who he is, and the audience probably knows him from the Maha movement. And he was talking about how there's this whole medical lobby and that's pushing doctors to do this because they can make a lot of money, gazillions of dollars doing these surgeries, you know, prescribing these hormones. Why don't we send. Actually, if you're a doctor who has performed a trans surgery, why don't we send you to Alligator Alcatraz? Maybe that's what we can do. Actually, I think we should send all these people to Alligator Alcatraz who've been performing surgeries on minors. But I want to talk to you also about being at the White House on one of the most beautiful days I've seen in American history. And I don't use that as hyperbole. The day you guys were all there for the signing of the executive order, I mean, the picture of all of you surrounding President Trump, it was so beautiful. And for years, they've tried to malign President Trump and say, he's a misogynist. He's going to set women back. I feel like President Trump has protected women and women's spaces more than any president before. What do you think, Paula?
- [13:29]
Paula Scanlon
Exactly. I mean, that day was. Was so wonderful. I mean, he did it so. So early on in his administration. I knew he was going to sign some type of executive order. I was like, okay, he'll call us maybe over the summer, maybe a few months, let him handle some of the other problems in this country because there are so many he had to clean up. But it was, you know, a couple weeks into his administration, like, everyone come down, we're going to sign this executive order. And he was surrounded by women. There was not a single woman that was there that was calling him a misogynist, saying all these horrible things. And they. The left, me leftist media has tried to paint Donald Trump as a misogynist, as a racist, as all these different things. And it was so funny to see. Just, nope, There's a group of women that aren't just standing behind him, but are genuinely grateful for his role in protecting women's rights. I mean, I don't know how the left spins that one. And honestly, even the leftist friends that I still talk to, they can say all they want about Trump, but they say you know what, Paula? That actually was a good thing. And I am actually happy that he did that.
- [14:28]
Link
Absolutely. I feel like this was an issue that galvanized voters in the last election. And the left was like, this is just a culture war issue. These are just culture war issues. And I'm like, the fact that girls locker rooms are being invaded by grown ass men who are a foot taller than them, that is not just a culture war issue. It's a safety issue. And so I think President Trump was smart to lean into that on the campaign trail. And they say it's an 8020 issue. I feel like it's 90, 10, 99 1. Some people are just scared that they don't want to be called transphobic. They don't want to be called bigoted. Tell me where you think this movement goes. Right. So PIN has decided to fall in line. They are going to respect biology and the differences between men and women. After fighting it for years, do you think other schools are going to follow suit across all 50 states?
- [15:10]
Paula Scanlon
You know, I really hope so. I think we should keep pulling federal funding from any university that's doing this, but not just federal funding. I mean, I think we should pull, you know, a lot of things. I think there's a lot of useless people that work at all of these institutions. I mean, you know, when the University of Pennsylvania brought in this panel of administrators to talk to us, I was looking at these, like, 15 people and I said, what do you guys all do for work here? You're being paid over $100,000 to just sit there and tell me I'm a transphobic bigot. I mean, that's really what they're doing. So there's a lot more that needs to be cleaned up here. But again, the Trump administration, Secretary McMahon, has done a wonderful job of really doing these things. They've investigated Harvard, they've investigated a lot of these schools, not just on the transgender issue, but also on things like anti Semitism and other wild things happening on these college campuses. I think a lot of reform needs to be made. But I will say I don't believe this. I know you don't believe this, but many people put the Ivy League institutions up on a pedestal. They think they're these amazing institutions. They look to them very highly. And I think there is a lot of value in the University of Pennsylvania and being one of those schools making this decision, because it'll. Other people, other schools will say, hmm, if an Ivy League institution has to do this, maybe they're onto something and it'll make them also change their ways. So even though I don't value them that way, they still are valued in the general public. And I do think overall this is a huge win, but it's only a first step.
- [16:30]
Link
Absolutely. This is a first step, but is a huge step. And I just think if Kamala Harris had won in November, I mean, she wanted taxpayer funded surgeries for transgender inmates. This is not someone who going to protect women whatsoever. She allowed the illegal migrants to come in. She is lake and Riley's blood on her hands. In my opinion, Kamala Harris does. So I'm just so grateful that President Trump won. And I know there are people who maybe didn't vote for President Trump, but they're with him on this issue. And as for you, Paula, I'm so grateful for your time. I'm sure you have a gazillion hits to go do on FOX News and cnn. You and Riley are so booked and busy. You're like Destiny's Child today. Okay? You guys are the dream team and I love you and I'm just so, so, so grateful to know you and to have connected with you. And I'm going to keep doing what little part I can do to fight for this issue. And I know you're out there killing it. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
- [17:17]
Paula Scanlon
You're awesome and you're making such a big impact and I'm grateful to call you a friend. And what I will say the last thing I will leave with is we can hate on Lia Thomas all we want and the NCAA and the Ivy League and all the people who put us in this position. But if that had never happened, you and I would have never been friends. So that's a.
- [17:32]
Link
We wouldn't, we did never become friends. And last thing I will say is this, okay, we are in the golden age of America where you and I give zero Fs anymore. Like I was thinking last night, the stuff we're just allowed to tweet and say, not worry about being canceled, you can never do that two or three years ago. Now it's like to be a liberal, you're kind of in like the loser club. Like it's cool now to have conservative common sense values. So that's one thing I love about us. We can just like let it rip. But I'm sure I'll see you soon. You know, I don't like to leave my house too much, but I will see you soon. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming on. I'll text you later this Episode is brought to you by Masa Chips. Now, as I told you guys on the last episode, I am obsessed with masa chips. Not just because they pay me, not just because they are a sponsor of our show, but because the chips are actually good. Because you guys know I'm not going to promote something that's a bunch of crap. But these chips, they beat every other tortilla chip I have converted. Everyone in my family, everyone in my group of friends, they are all using masa chips now. In fact, we're having some people over for the fourth of July in a couple of days. Of course, we're going to be having masa chips with our guacamole, with our pico de gallo, with our salsa, because all the other chips break in the salsa. They break in the guacamole. Masa chips, they're sturdy and I also don't feel guilty eating them because they're a little bit healthy, right? I don't know, they're made with beef tallow. They don't have any seed oils. They're just a little bit healthier than these other tortilla chips you're going to grab at the grocery store because they have no seed oils, just organic corn, sea salt and 100% grass fed beef tallow. Now, masa chips is also beloved by tens of thousands of customers and has been endorsed by industry leading health and nutrition experts like Ben Greenfield and Gary Breca.

Now we have some breaking updates on the P. Diddy trial. This is not a trial. I have followed the minutia of. As you guys know, I'm not super into trials and I'm really not into P. Diddy. I think he's a gross, despicable person. I never really liked his music. I really just find him obnoxious. Right. I think P. Diddy, anytime I see him on a show, he is absolutely obnoxious and so full of himself. I just live in a different world than P. Diddy. He is not someone I follow closely. I. But we have a verdict on the five charges in the trial. I'm going to read them to you because this is breaking right now. So on count one, racketeering, conspiracy, he was found not guilty. On count two, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, he was found not guilty. On count three, transportation to engage in prostitution, guilty. P. Diddy was found guilty. On count three, count four, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, not guilty. Count five, transportation to engage in prostitution, guilty. I probably could have told you that one. Now, P. Diddy, according to some of the drawings and the renderings we've seen from the courtroom, he is making little heart hand signs. He's clapping, he's laughing, he's telling his family, allegedly he's going to come home. We don't know that to be the case. By the time you listen to this, they might have decided if he's going to prison for one year, 20 years, if he's just going to walk scot free. One thing about P. Diddy, I truly believe he knows where the bodies buried are with all of these other powerful people. And he has kept his mouth shut. Right. When it comes to Jay Z. A lot of these other celebrities who we've heard rumors about for years, P. Diddy has not talked or said anything. So I would be surprised if we see him go away to prison for 10, 20 years or even five years. I have this feeling he could get a slap on the wrist. He could do six months, a year, maybe two, which honestly, they're going to say there's overcrowding and probably get him out sooner than that. So we don't know exactly what's going to happen with P. Diddy. By the time you listen to this, we might have an update. But I want to talk to you about something that happened on Tuesday, something that just makes me love this country so much, and that is the President of the United States, President Trump attended the opening of what they are calling Alligator Alcatraz. Now, if you've been on the Internet the last few days, you have seen the clips and the pictures and the videos of Alligator Alcatraz, I will read you what Alligator Alcatraz is. If you've been living under a rock and you don't know. So Alligator Alcatraz it is indeed Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Everglades. Right? So they've turned this airport, this tarmac, into a detention center for illegal migrants and apparently has 3,000 beds. And it's going to become the largest migrant detention center in the United States. And other states are expected to follow because we have to carry out these mass deportations. Barack Obama, he was the deporter in chief, right? This guy deported millions and millions of people. President Trump, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan. They're trying to get the worst of the worst criminals out of this country. So we have to go to these measures and we have to do these things. But when I was looking at Alligator Alcatraz, I was a little bit jealous that I wasn't invited, because, number one, I want a new pair of shoes, okay? I want a pair of some alligator shoes. And for that reason, I wish I'd been at Alligator Alcatraz. And when we were putting the show together, we actually googled and found some insane alligator boots that are apparently $14,000. So I will not be wearing them. But we found these ridiculous alligator boots. And I said, you know what? They're not crazy enough. We need to find even crazier ones. So we found these red alligator boots, I believe, that have a little bit of fur in them. Okay. I don't know what alligator they skin to make these boots. Maybe a gay alligator. I don't know. They skinned a gay, sassy alligator to make these boots. But I'm a little bit jealous I was not invited to Alligator Alcatraz. I feel like the alligator they use to make to make these boots probably orders a Cosmopolitan, an appletini. When he goes to the bar, he might talk with a little bit of a lisp. What do gay horses eat? They eat. Hey. So I don't know what this alligator would eat, but I imagine they skin the gay alligator to make those boots. And when I was looking at Alligator Alcatraz and President Trump touring the facility and the Everglades and thinking of the swamp, I was reminded of Kim Kardashian's Halloween costume from last year. I don't know why this popped into my head, but it was so disturbing and gross and scary and just something you would see in a nightmare. I was reminded of Kim Kardashian because she went as an albino white alligator for Halloween this year. Now, I'm here to tell you, if you looked out your window of Alligator Alcatraz and you're an illegal migrant and you saw this thing swimming in the water. You would probably beg to be deported. Okay. You'd probably be asking to be sent back to Venezuela. You'd probably be asking to be sent anywhere else to a third party country, because this is one of the scariest things I've seen. So when I saw Kim Kardashian in this albino alligator, I just thought, I hope she's not in the water outside of Alligator Alcatraz, because these migrants are going to be asking to flee and get sent out of the country. But when I was thinking about Alligator Alcatraz, I was also reminded of this scene from Happy Gilmore. You guys know the Adam Sandler movie? I was reminded of the scene from Happy Gilmore. I want to just play it for you and take a look.

You give me the ball, Alligator. You've got one eye, Chops. You took his hair. That is what I imagine it would look like when the members of MS.13 and Trinidad Agua are trying to escape Alligator Alcatraz. When they're trying to swim across the agua. Okay. When Trin De Agua is trying to get over the agua at Alligator Alcatraz and get through the swamp, that is what I imagine it's going to look like. I also was reminded of this clip from the show Wipeout. We have a clip. I just want to take a look at that because it's probably what it looks like trying to escape Alligator Alcatraz as well. Oh, that was quite okay. So jokes aside, jokes aside, I want to read you a little bit more about Alligator Alcatraz. So it took eight days to construct, and it's going to cost $450 million per year to operate and will be fully reimbursed by the federal government. Now, this sounds like a lot. This sounds insane. $450 million. I'm here to tell you Florida is a wealthy state because people are moving to Florida in droves. They're moving to these red states to get out of these failing cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. And I hope some of them aren't bringing all of their liberal policies with them. But the federal government, this is a small reimbursement and a small price to pay to get violent criminals off the street, as we saw in California recently with the ICE raids and people overtaking freeways and burning cars and waving Mexican flags. These folks are not winners. Right? These are some bad folks. As we saw with Lake and Riley, Jocelyn and Gary and so many other women who have lost their lives at the hands of illegal migrant criminals. You have to get these folks out of the country. And President Trump, he was actually asked about Alligator Alcatraz and he had some funny remarks to say about outrunning these alligators. I want to take a look at that as well.

This is not a nice business. I guess that's the concept if you, you know, snakes are fast, but alligators are big. We're going to teach them how to run away from an alligator. Okay? If they escape prison, how to run away, don't run in a straight line. Run like this and you know what your chances go. And up about 1%. Okay? Not a good thing.

That's how we run from our boyfriends when we don't want to put out. Don't run zigzag. Get away, get away. No. I love that President Trump just has such rays. I mean, when I say President Trump is the last rock star on earth, this man gives zero Fs. Okay? He won with a decisive mandate. He's outside the White House going to visit a facility we are calling Alligator Alcatraz and he's explaining how to outrage run alligators. This is not something you would get from any other president. Right. This is not something you would have gotten from Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris. In fact, if they had won their presidencies in 16 and 2024, we would probably still have many illegal migrants running amok on the street. But thank you, President Trump, for actually getting these criminals off the street and into these detention centers. And thank you to Governor Ron DeSantis, Kristi Noman, everybody, who has made this happen. Now, some folks are not happy. The liberals, they have Trump derangement syndrome. They are just melting down. They are apoplectic over the fact getting criminals off the street. I don't know why they are so hell bent on keeping Ms. 13 and Trinidad Agua on the street, but they are. And one of those women, and I use the word women loosely, who is very upset, is actually Joy Reid from msnbc. Let's take a look at what she had to say about Alligator Alcatraz.
- [28:54]
Joy Reid
I had to forget about him. But Ron DeSantis is still governor of Florida. He took the Comfy Couch hosts on a tour of the concentration camp that he's building in Florida in order to round up people, brown people, and throw them in a camp because he doesn't want them in Florida. Surprise, surprise. The economy of Florida is going to be severely harmed by rounding up brown people who by the way, all over this country, Latinos are afraid to go to work. Anybody who is perceived or looks Latino is afraid to go to work.

Now, I don't have a lot in common with Joy Reid, except for the fact that we have the same hairstylist, okay? Joy Reid has been copying my hairstyle for years. Joy Reid, you will be hearing from my lawyer. But Joy Reid, she says the economy is going to be affected because people are going to be out of their jobs. Why doesn't she worry about the fact that she has no job, that she was fired from MSNBC because she's a racist piece of crap and her ratings were in the gutter? Okay, Joy Reid, maybe worry about the fact that you don't have a job and don't worry about what's going on in Florida, okay? Florida seems to be run just fine. Governor Ron DeSantis seems to be doing great, everything things hunky dory. But this is who Joy Reid is. She seems to be melting down. She needs to get off the Cabernet, get off the Merlot, stop drinking and try and find some type of employment, okay? And also, the blonde hair is not for everyone. Joy Reid, the blonde hair doesn't really suit you. But let's move on to some other things. Now, this last clip I want to look at is of another liberal influencer. I believe his name is Luke. And he is losing it, okay? He is absolutely losing it over Alligator Alcatraz. Guys, let's hear what this deranged liberal.
- [30:31]
Luke
Had to say calling it Alligator Alcatraz. Are you kidding me? If you missed it, Trump is headed to a low cost immigrant detention camp built by Ron Desatur in the Florida Everglades. According to Triple K Caroline quote, the only way out is via a one way flight and it's surrounded by dangerous wildlife. You cannot be serious. Listen, I know Most maggots are 10 watt bulbs in 200 watt sockets, but let me see if I can make this quick. Clear for you. A large concentration of folks deemed undesirable by the government put in a camp with no due process. If only there were some historical similarities there. Oh wait, they might as well write, hard work will set you free above the entrance.

This guy. This is why I can't date liberal men. I'm here to tell you the beta male low testosterone Trump derangement syndrome is not attractive. And ladies and gays, I would like to hear from you as well and even from the men. I got. I've tweeted this yesterday and I got a lot of comments from men saying they can't date liberal women either. And I don't blame them, some of these shrill liberal women who sit around watching msnbc. But I wish this guy, I wish this guy were as angry about the deaths of Lake and Riley and Johnson and Gari as he is about this detention center being put up in Florida. And I'm here to tell you, when we look at the pictures of the detention center of Alligator Alcatraz, we can actually even compare it to the Obama Biden era. We'll put that up on the screen. I'm here to tell you, Alligator Alcatraz, Alcatraz looks nicer than my freshman year dorm. Okay? I had to share a dorm with a bunch of random people. We all shared one bathroom. It was a pigsty. It was absolutely disgusting. I couldn't wait to move out. So I'm here to tell you this guy is upset about Alligator Alcatraz. Why weren't you upset about the illegal migrants who were murdering, raping and killing young women in the United States of America? You should be worried about that. Why weren't you worried about the fact that Obama and Biden, between 2009 and January 2017, they deported millions of people, Millions and millions of people. And it's a shame. It's a shame that this young man is actually kind of cute. Okay, he looks good. He has a cute face. If you watch him on mute, you might think, oh, okay, he looks pretty good. But the second you turn the sound on and he opens his mouth, you realize he's a screaming insane liberal. So we wish all the liberals well. I am happy about Alligator Alcatraz. I feel like this is going to become a theme in red states. They're going to want to one up each other. They're going to be opening their own detention centers. I mean, if there's an empty airstrip in your state, you might be getting an Alligator Alcatraz as well. But let's move on to some other hot topics. Well, my friends, gird your loins. Grab a barf bag, because we have a Rosie o' DONNELL update. Hallelujah. ROSIE o' donnell. Somehow this woman has such a strong WI fi connection over in Ireland that she can still call in and opine on everything going on here in American culture and politics. Meet if I fled the country, y' all wouldn't be hearing from me again, okay? If I were some multi millionaire celebrity like Rosie o' Donnell who moved to Ireland, y' all would not be hearing from me. I would not be sitting up here doing this show. So Rosie o' donnell, she's apparently very upset. She's upset about a lot of things, okay. I think she's upset when she looks in the mirror. She's upset when she gets up in the morning, thinks she's upset that her daughter has allegedly been arrested about half a dozen times for meth and heroin. But Rosie o' DONNELL is upset set about Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos wedding, which we talked about at length on Monday's episode. We did a full deep dive. The episode did incredibly well. Thank you to those of you who tuned in and shared the episode. But Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Beddows Bezos, they had this over the top lavish wedding in Venice because they are over the top lavish multi billionaire people. Jeff Bezos is worth $200 billion. He's not trying to be Mr. Relatable, you know what I'm saying? And that's almost what I respect about him. He's not trying to be super relatable and act like he's one of us. He's one of the, you know, forgotten men of this country. Jeff Bezos is like, Look, I'm worth 200 billion. I'm going to spend 50, 60 million on a wedding. I'm going to invite a bunch of random celebrities that I want to hang out with. Get over it. Screw you. But Rosie o' Donnell, she's upset and she actually did an Instagram post. She's been churning out Instagram posts, just attacking celebrities, attacking everyone. Here's what she had to say. And she did a picture side by side of Lauren Sanchez before and after. And Rosie o' DONNELL said this. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it is Oprah Friends with Jeff Bez Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain by any metric. He's not a nice man. And his fake femme bought wife who looks like that, why would he choose her after the salt of the earth McKenzie. Now Rosie, why don't you worry about your own relationship, you know what I'm saying? ROSIE o' DONNELL if your side of the street looks like a frickin bomb went off, don't worry about everybody else's, okay? I have my life in order, okay? My life is going well, my career is going well. So I don't have any qualms sitting here and ripping apart these woke out of touch ridiculous celebrities. But the irony with Rosie o' DONNELL is that she's also a woke out of touch ridiculous celebrity that is who she is. So her trying to call out Lauren Sanchez for her plastic surgery. Also, last I heard, Rosie o' Donnell was allegedly on Ozempic or some type of Ozempic alternative. So she's able to worry about her physical appearance and she's mad about Lauren Sanchez. So we're not saying we're Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos number one fans here. Okay? I like Thing one and Thing Two. I think they're little short and important ridiculous characters but. Rosie o' donnell, why are you so upset? Why are you so upset? You need to touch grass and get laid. That's my prescription for you. Touch grass, get laid, keep doing your Ozempic and, you know, enjoy your life. And real quick, before I forget, when we were looking at Rosie o' Donnell's Instagram putting the show together, I really thought I was seeing something. I thought they were my sleep paralysis demons. I thought I was having a nightmare. Rosie o' DONNELL has been hanging out with Dylan Mulvaney. This is like when two despicable people team up. I don't know the tectonic plates are going to shift. Now at this point, Rosie o' DONNELL and Dylan Mulvaney, why don't they go do a reality show where they move into a cabin in Ireland and they braid each other's hair and take their hormones and their Ozempic and just inject themselves with whatever the hell they're injecting themselves with. So Rosie o' DONNELL has found a new best friend, Dylan Mulvaney. Maybe they're in with love.

Paula Scanlon
Love.

Maybe they're lovers. You know, Dylan Mulvaney, I think he likes masculine men. So maybe Rosie o' DONNELL isn't a far stretch. But some other folks who are upset about Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos wedding are Katie Couric and Charlize Theron. And so we have the notes here. Charlize Theron, she had some things to say. She said, I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to Bezos wedding, but that's okay because they suck and we're cool. Now she said this while hosting the 5th annual block party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project on on Saturday. Now, anyone who names a charity after themselves, you're probably a ridiculous celebrity yourself. Okay, Charlize Theron, the fact that you call it the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach, shut the hell up. Okay? Charlize, you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars. You have ad campaigns with freaking all these high fashion designers and brands and perfumes you are no better than Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. Okay? So stop trying to add act holier than thou. And, oh, you're so upset that they threw this lavish wedding, because if it was anybody else, she probably would have been at the wedding. And Charlize Theron, one thing about her we might have to dive into in a future episode. She allegedly adopted two boys from Africa. Right? She adopted two young boys from Africa, which is great to give these boys a home. Apparently, both boys are now transgender. Allegedly, the kids are transgender and identify as little girls. And she's dressing them up as girls. What are the odds, Charlize, there, that you adopt two boys from Africa and they both turn out to be transgender, and now you're dressing them up as girls? That's something you should go worry about. That is maybe something on your side of the street that I would focus on as opposed to a wedding that happened in Venice. Now, the last person, Katie Couric, she had some things to say as well. She said, welcome to the 80s when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently, Tacky is back now. She left these comments on Jack Schlossberg's Instagram post on Friday, but since deleted the comments and the post as well. So now, Katie Couric, we don't need to hear from you either, okay? All these women, I think they're upset they weren't invited to the wedding. They feel like, why weren't we invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding? I think if they were invited, we wouldn't be hearing from them. And the Katie Couric of it all, Katie Couric is the type of person who would 100% go to this wedding. Katie Couric loves to cavort and hang out with famous, fabulous people. So, Katie Couric, you're full of crap, Charlize, and you're also full of crap. But we have to move on to some more Hot Topics. Let me tell you a story about a guy named Leo Grillo. While on a road trip, Leo came across a Doberman. This dog was severely underweight and clearly in trouble. Leo rescued that Doberman and named him Delta. Sadly, Delta was just one of many animals that needed help, which inspired Leo to start Delta Rescue, the largest no kill, care for life animal sanctuary in the world. They've rescued thousands of dogs, cats, and horses from the wilderness, and they provide their animals with shelter, love, safety, and a home. This dedication and everlasting love to animals is Leo's mission and legacy. Delta Rescue relies solely on contributions from people like us. And if you want caring for these animals to be part of your legacy, speak with your estate planner. Because there are tax saving estate planning benefits too. You can grow your estate while letting your love for animals live well into the future. Check out the estate planning tab on their website to learn more. And speak with an advisor we call a dog man's best friend for a reason. You can help those who need it most. So please visit Deltarescue.org today to learn more. That's Deltarescue.org now to round out the show, we have an addition of Go Woke, Go Broke. Because more businesses every single day, they're going woke up and they're going broke. We saw this with Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney. They strayed from their core competencies. I don't know why they hired a man in a dress to promote a beer company that frat boys and all of my friends like to drink. I didn't really understand that wasn't the best marketing business decision for Bud Light. And we've seen this with other companies. We've seen this with movies like Snow White hiring Rachel Zegler. Disney continues to go broke doing these woke, Woke, woke movies. Well, another brand that has officially gone woke and broke is Jaguar. Okay, Some people say Jaguar, Jaguar, Jaguar. I don't drive a Jaguar. Don't know many people who drive Jaguars, but it's pretty much a luxury, nice car company. Well, they had this advertisement. They did this advertisement where they had a man and a dress. And it looks like these people are walking out onto Mars. Maybe they were, you know, extraterrestrial. They were all vibrant and colorful. And what I felt was missing, what I felt was really missing from the Jaguar ad was the car. Where the hell is the car? You're selling vehicles and there are no vehicles in the advertisement. Okay, You've got a man in a dress, us, all these sort of like non binary, like androgynous people walking around some pink planet. And then Jaguar also changed their logo. That's a big no. No. Okay, you got to be very careful changing the logo. We've seen that with HBO Max. They went from Max to this to that. Now they're going back to HBO Max. So Jaguar, you made your own demise, but Jaguar. Let me read you some of these statistics, right? They recorded only 49 new vehicle registrations across Europe in April 2025, compared to the 1961cars SOL the same month the previous year. This is a 97.5% plunge. One of the steepest declines ever for a premium carmaker in recent history. And it's because. Excuse me, is having some chips during the break. Excuse me. This is because Jaguar decided to go woke and broke, okay? If you hire a bunch of men in dresses and put them in rainbow clothes and they trot around on some planet and the advertisement, that's not going to help you sell cars. You know what's going to help you sell Jaguars? Why don't you put like a frickin hot chick, like a Carl's Jr. Commercial. Put a chick in a bikini and heels with blown up lips and big breasts. Put her in the car driving 100 miles per hour down the road with some fun techno music. Do that. Okay? And then men might want to go buy the Jaguars. You know what? Men don't want to buy a car for a bunch of androgynous, non binary looking men in frickin dresses. Okay? Maybe Harry Styles wants this car. He's got that sort of androgynous, you know, style. But I don't know any men who are going to go out and pay for a premium luxury car when the advertisement has men in dresses and doesn't even show off what the vehicle can do. So go find some hot chicks, okay? Not chicks with purple hair and 10,000 nose rings, okay? Go find some hot chicks, put them in the car, put some techno music over it and have that car go down the road at a fricking 100 miles per hour and maybe mine. Then we'll go buy your cars or else continue going woke and broke. But that concludes this episode of Spot on with link Lauren. I could not be more grateful to Paula Scanlon for coming on. The second I saw this breaking news, I thought I have to text her. I saw her at the White House yesterday. I said, let's just see if she responds. There's terrible cell service at the White House. But I texted her, especially in the executive office building. But I texted her, I'm like, would you potentially come on my show because you've been at the forefront of this issue and as it pertains to Lia Thomas, there's no one better we could have had on today. So I'm so grateful to Paula Scanlon. I'm grateful to you guys. I'm grateful for everybody working on this show. But I will see you on the next one. Bye.
