Lauren, I am so happy to be back with you this Monday morning. I hope you are doing well. We have a lot to discuss. Okay. We're going to talk about Prince Harry. He is being sued by his former charity. I'm going to break all of that down. We also have this 26 page article in the New York Times on Jeff Bezos wife, Lauren Sanchez. I want to give you all of the details on that. We also have to talk about Savannah Guthrie and this new code word that they have at NBC for her if she needs to be pulled offset. That's all very interesting. Also, Eric Swalwell's career has gone down the tube. So he has suspended his campaign for governor of California. I don't know how much longer he's going to remain a congressman. It sort of reminds me of Joe Biden. Remember they pushed Joe Biden out of the race. They said he wasn't well enough to run for president, but then they let
Co-host (Lauren)
him stay as president.
Host (Link)
So he wasn't well enough to run, but he was in good enough shape to continue governing. So we're going to discuss all of that that's going on with Eric Swalwell. But you guys. Okay, what I really need to start off by talking to you about, I got sucked in to watching the Masters. I have never watched the Masters or a game of golf, a round of golf in my entire life. Okay. All I know about golf is that it's this sport where our boyfriends or your husbands go on the weekends and we get the house to ourselves, okay?
Co-host (Lauren)
So we get the house to ourselves, to enjoy ourselves, to watch tv, to things done. They go, they play golf and they
Host (Link)
come home relaxed, okay, maybe they stop off at the 19th hole for a drink or two with their friends and they come home relaxed and we have a great weekend. That's all I knew about golf. Somehow I got sucked into watching the Masters. I got so sucked in, you guys, I placed a bet, okay, and I
Co-host (Lauren)
lost, but I placed a bet on Cameron Young.
Host (Link)
Now the reason I bet on Cameron Young, I know nothing about sports. So I am judging solely based off of looks. And when I saw Cameron Young, okay, he had this rugged look, kind of like RIP from Yellowstone. If you watch the show Yellowstone, there was something about him where if I'm in a burning building, okay, I would rather have Cameron Young come and save me. I feel like he would have the fortitude to get me out of that burning building much more than Rory McElroy. But Rory McElroy, not an easy name to say. He ended up winning the Masters second year in a row. He got the green jacket. So shout out to Rory McElroy. I'm sure some folks are rooting for him. Some. Some were not. Some of you maybe didn't even know that the Masters were on. And you're going, what happened to Link? Have you been body snatched? What's going on? But the second I saw Cameron Young, I thought, okay, I'm sold. This is an Alpha male, okay? So often in culture we have all of these little betas like Timothee Chalamet, and all of these like scrawny little anemic vampire looking guys. When you see an Alpha, okay, like
Co-host (Lauren)
Cameron Young, he's 28, he's married, he
Host (Link)
already has three kids. I'm like, this is who I'm going to bet on, okay?
Co-host (Lauren)
So I placed a bet and then I lost. But do I regret it?
Host (Link)
No.
Co-host (Lauren)
Because I'm still going to ride or
Host (Link)
die for Cameron Young. Now, mind you, I didn't know who this man was 48 hours ago, okay? So I'm an easy sell, okay?
Co-host (Lauren)
I'm a. I'm a very easy sell, okay? For a handsome man with good posture, some facial hair and manners. I'm like, listen, I'm sold. In 48 hours from now, I probably won't remember he exists.
Host (Link)
But. But shout out to the Masters. I think one thing I loved about watching the Masters, all the men are dressed nice, everybody's in good form. There's this sort of like polished veneer to it, everybody gets along. Nobody's fighting. You know, you watch the NBA, you watch the NFL. They, they'll get into fights. They have, you know, a bunch of baby mamas. Not all of them, but some. These guys, I'm sure they've got some skeletons in their closet. But you look at the Masters, everybody's a little bit classy, okay? Everybody's a little bit classy. It's civilized. There are no cell phones. Everybody's just there to watch some golf. It seemed like a lot of walking
Co-host (Lauren)
for me personally, it seemed like a lot of walking. I was like, where's the golf cart? Can you not use the golf cart?
Host (Link)
I also was getting a little bit confused with all the negative numbers. It's like under 12, under 10, par, birdie, eagle. I don't know all of that, okay?
Co-host (Lauren)
All I knew was that I was
Host (Link)
rooting for Cameron Young. And then honestly, when he started to fade, I started rooting for Scotty Scheffler because like I said, I'm kind of fair weather. I thought for a minute Scotty Scheffler was going to climb the ranks, but Rory McElroy won. And so it wasn't that exciting.
Co-host (Lauren)
But we're going to jump into all of these topics. We got to pay some bills really quickly.
Host (Link)

They splashed down in the ocean. It took them a long time to get the hatch open. I'm going to be honest, I don't know if you guys were watching. They sat there in the ocean for a long time. I'm like, are you all going to come get them? I would have been getting claustrophobic, okay? The 10 days in space, that's one thing when you come back down to Earth and they couldn't get the hatch open or they were just kind of taking their little merry time. I would have been banging on that door, get me out of this little capsule. And then it's very dramatic, okay? They're airlifted from, you know, a raft into a helicopter and then taken to the ship. It was all very cinematic. But they're home safe and sound with their families, which is what I wanted and what I prayed for. But I just couldn't do it, okay?
Co-host (Lauren)
I could never go to space for
Host (Link)
10 days or 10 minutes. And I've talked about this on social media. I'm the type of person, I'm an introverted extrovert. If I go to a party and I'm around a bunch of people and holding court and having fun and running my mouth, I need about a week to recover, okay? I need a couple of days to recover. I can't just be out there willy nilly every single night. So the thought of being locked in a capsule for 10 days with multiple other people, that is my worst nightmare, okay? Absolute worst nightmare. The one thing I will say, okay, they were doing all these videos. They had better cell service, it seemed, from that space station than I do
Co-host (Lauren)
sitting in my house, okay? I mean, they were doing pressers and interviews and taking calls and sending pictures. And I'm like, how come we can't even get good WI fi on planes here? You know, I go through certain neighborhoods
Host (Link)
and my calls drop out. So they had great service up in space. Another reason you guys will never, ever, ever, ever find me in space, I don't like to share a toilet, okay? I don't want to share a toilet. I especially don't want to share a space toilet. And the space toilet, if you've seen the news, it crapped out. No pun intended. The space toilet crapped out, I think the first day up there in orbit in the little capsule Orion. And Christina, who was sort of the tech and she's an engineer, she worked with Houston and NASA and to get it fixed. So she was on the phone or the radio Going, I'm doing this, I'm doing this. And she was fixing the toilet. There was still an ungodly bad smell apparently that they had to deal with. They kind of managed the smell. They were told, listen guys, you're up there for about another week, you're going to have to just do it that
Co-host (Lauren)
you'll get acclimated and accustomed.
Host (Link)
But the thing is, this is apparently
Co-host (Lauren)
a $23 million toilet. So they have a $23 million toilet.
Host (Link)
It stops working, it smells, it's not good. I think this is an utter calamity, okay? I also not to get too graphic and gross, okay, because my mom's Bible study is watching. I have questions about the zero gravity and going to the bathroom in space. Like you're going in zero gravity. How does that work? And then it's a 23 million dollar toilet. Like go get yourself a good old fashioned Kohler basic toilet. If you're feeling fancy, go get one of those Totos. You know those thousand dollar toilets that
Co-host (Lauren)
open on their do God knows what, you know, don't get excited. I think they can make calls too.
Host (Link)
But go get yourself a Toto. Go get yourself like a basic little toilet from Home Depot or Lowe's and stick it in the space station.
Co-host (Lauren)
Because a $23 million toilet should not have had any issues on day one.
Host (Link)
But this just confirmed I don't have desire to go to space and I won't be going to space anytime soon it seems. I was talking to someone who's an expert in this field over the week and I said, do you think we'll ever have, you know, hotels or homes on Mars or the moon in my lifetime? And he said, no, I really don't think so. I don't see that happening in your lifetime. These things come in waves. So honestly, if it's going to happen
Co-host (Lauren)
after I'm gone, I'm not that interested in it now.
Host (Link)
Speaking of space, someone who actually went to space recently was Lauren Sanchez. Remember Lauren Sanchez and Katy Perry and Gayle King? They went up to space or orbit for a few minutes. Well, that was the first time Lauren Sanchez really jumped out and got on my rad. And I thought, this is a woman I think I need to learn a little bit more about. Okay. In the New York Times over the weekend, they came out with a 26 page spread all about Lauren Sanchez. You guys don't tell the Environmentalist. I printed the whole thing and I took copious notes. So they did a 26 page spread
Co-host (Lauren)
on Lauren Sanchez in the New York Times.
Host (Link)
It's called someone has to be happy. Why not Lauren Sanchez Bezos? Now, you guys, people want me to hate Lauren Sanchez so badly. You will never make me hate this woman. Okay? Of course she is living a life that none of us will probably ever live, okay? They're gallivanting around the world on planes and yachts and boats. Her husband's worth about $250 billion. So of course they're living a life we can't relate to. But what this article points out in the New York Times, you know, after conducting many earnings, many interviews with her, she is unapologetic. She's like, look, we cannot apologize for having this level of wealth, but we can try to do some good with it. And that's actually what I'm okay with. I don't like the celebrities or these wealthy folks who try to pretend and slum it and act like, look, I'm just like you. I'm just like you.
Co-host (Lauren)
She's like, no, I am married to Jeff Bezos. But let me tell you what we're
Host (Link)
going to do with it. I also loved in the article, she's very open about her adhd, her dyslexia, some of her issues. And what everybody says is she's a good time. They're like, lauren Sanchez is a fun good time. And I will give Jeff Bezos kudos, okay? He married someone who is age appropriate. Most men, if they had $250 billion, they probably would have married like a 19 year old Russian hooker. He married a very age appropriate woman with Lauren Sanchez. And everybody seems to love her. She seems to be the life of the party. And it's like, you better be the life of the party. You're married to Jeff Bezos. But what comes through in this article and what she really wants to make clear is she's always been this person. She's like going back 25, 30 years when she wanted to be a Southwest Airlines flight attendant and she didn't make the cut. She's always been this person. She says, if everybody is here at a happiness level, I'm up here. So that's probably why she's down to have the foam parties on the yachts and she's traveling the world and she's living her best life. But I want to read you one of the first quotes that stuck out to me from this article because this is something I could not do. She and Mr. Bezos do everything together. On a typical day, the newlyweds wake up around 6 in their new roughly $230 million compound on Indian Creek, an exclusive private island in Miami called Billionaire Bunker. They don't touch their phones. Instead, they begin each day by listing 10 things they're grateful for. And they can't repeat what they named the day before. I could not do that.
Co-host (Lauren)
Okay, telling me they're getting up in the morning.
Host (Link)
First off, they're not checking their phones. I couldn't do it. Okay, the first thing I do when I get up in the morning, scroll, scroll, scroll. What did I miss? What's going on in the world? So they don't check their phones and then they do a gratitude list of 10 things they're grateful for.
Co-host (Lauren)
And you can't repeat things. How Couldn't do it. You can't repeat things you're grateful for.
Host (Link)
I would be kind of phoning in it, phoning it in. I would try this for a few
Co-host (Lauren)
days and then I am phoning it. And I'm grateful for the earth, grateful for my family, my friends. What do you mean you can't repeat things?
Host (Link)
So that was the first quote that really stuck out to me. I just could not do that whatsoever. And this also tells you a little bit about their relationship. The couple is now best thought of as a unit in quotes. I talk about everything with him, everything. Jeff is my best friend and I don't say that lightly. Now he is the world's third richest man. But what I think this is, like I said, Jeff Bezos probably could have married anyone. He married this woman. Former television news anchor, has worked in media. Very savvy, very smart, obviously has a very high iq. I can tell, I can read it very easily. Jeff Bezos, I think he does like running things by her. I think he respects her. And I see this in so many successful relationship relationships, whether there is disparity in wealth and age, what have you, as long as there is respect for each other and you respect that the other person has a brain and thoughts of their own, the relationship really can succeed. And so I actually think, and I wouldn't normally say this about a couple like this, I think Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will be around for decades to come. Okay? I don't see them getting divorced. I don't see this being, you know, an 18 month, 24 month marriage. Wham, bam, goodbye, sayonara. I think they're going to be getting along for a long, long time. Now let me read you a little bit about Lauren Sanchez and how she has not changed. You would think that marrying into obscene wealth would transform a person. But in this case Mrs. Sanchez Bezos appears less changed than her husband. The world has long been her everything store. Even before she married Mr. Bezos, whose net worth is 250 billion, she liked to think she was 20% happier than the average person. I can tell some people might say it's a little bit annoying, but she seems really happy. And it's just like everybody wants me to hate on Lauren Sanchez. And in the past I'd obviously make little knocks and remarks, but there's something about her where everybody who knows her says she's fun. Everybody says she's down for a good time. If I meet Lauren Sanchez out in the wild, okay, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and have a good time. Because you know what? I'm open. I'm open. I don't just want to trash her because it's the popular thing to do. Now this article does point out that their wedding was a big display. Okay? The wedding in Venice was a wedding that cost millions and millions of dollars. The New York Times says to some it was a tone deaf display of staggering wealth at a time of historic inequality. Of course, 99.9% of us aren't going to get married in Venice. We're not going to live this lifestyle. We can't relate to it, right? We're looking at the price of gas, we're looking at the price of groceries. But my point is this. Don't try and fake it like a lot of other people in their position. If you're rich, be rich. If you're wealthy, be wealthy. Apologizing for it, trying to cosplay as this everyday man like we see so, so, so often, it does nothing for us. So you don't need to apologize now. One thing they say in the article, they say you only see 5% of our lives and we gave up on being well understood a long time ago. And I think therein is the ethos of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos relationship, right? As the public judges them. And of course we're allowed to judge and gawk and look, they don't care. They don't care what anybody thinks. They've given up on being well understood. And I do agree, I do agree they probably show 5% of their lives and they deal with things probably just like the rest of us. They have a lot of charitable philanthropic endeavors they're doing. They're very, very passionate about climate and the planet. It's not so much my cup of tea, but I understand, you know, they're friends with Leonardo Dicaprio they're very into climate and the planet. Now, here is the last quote I want to read to you. The Bezos marriage seems at times as much a cultural inflection point as a love story. The moment American money stopped apologizing and decided that it might as well enjoy itself. That is what I've been saying for the last 10 minutes. Okay? Just live your best lives. Obviously, none of us will ever be in that position.
Co-host (Lauren)
We're not going to have $200 billion, okay? Unless you guys really download this.
Host (Link)
Darn Joe. But I do think if y' all are having fun, you're not hurting anyone. Like I said, they're in this age appropriate relationship. I don't think there's an imbalance in the relationship. They seem to be equals. Go out, live your best lives. Live footloose and fancy free. But I understand a lot of the hate that they get. I think a lot of people hate on them because they do think, oh, this is an obscene amount of wealth. Oh, when we see you on boats and when we see you on planes and when we see the wedding, I understand most Americans, most people throughout the world are going to have some feelings about that. But if you're not hurting anyone and you guys want to go to space or you want to go on a boat, or you want to go here, you want to go there, and everyone says she's a good time, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, okay? So until I meet someone, I will reserve a little bit of judgment because Lauren Sanchez, all of her friends who've gone on record and off record say she's a good time. And I have no reason to hate or pile on her, but we got to pay some bills really quickly. And then when we come back, we have a full breakdown of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, their lawsuits, and everything in between.

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Well, it's time to talk about the two hucksters of Montecito, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I don't know why they get to keep their titles. Okay, why do they get to stay royalty and dine out on their titles? They don't do anything for the royal family. If you're going to strip Andrew of his title and this one of his title, I think Harry and Meghan, they got to have their title stripped next. But one thing they have run into is a new lawsuit. Now, this is a big bombshell in the royal world over the weekend because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are usually the ones suing everybody else. They're always in court, suing some paper or suing this guy or that guy. Prince Harry has been sued by his former charity, Sentebale, which is a charity about HIV and AIDS and Africa. And this is a charity he founded in 2006. But he's now being sued for defamation by his former business partners. Let me read you this. So the charity claims he damaged its reputation on purpose, alleging he helped launch a coordinated media campaign that hurt the charity's image operations and even triggered online backlash. The situation stems from a major leadership dispute with the chairwoman, Dr. Sophie, which led to Harry quitting the charity in 2025. And both sides publicly accusing each other of mishandling things. Now, this was the charity where we actually found a video before we sat down that Meghan Markle would jump into the middle of the pictures, and she
Co-host (Lauren)
really would just push everybody else out of the way. Every time they did a charity for Cinte Valley, Megan Markle is jumping in. She's getting on stage, she's elbowing people.
Host (Link)
And there were many stories, right, that Meghan Markle did not get along with Dr. Sophie, this woman who was running the charity with Prince Harry, and that Megan Markle came in and basically said, listen, you could be getting a million dollars from this company. You could be getting a million from this one and that one. You guys are thinking too small. You need to think big. That was the nail in the coffin, okay? When you allow Meghan Markle to come in and touch your charity or your business, there's something about her that must be so toxic. Every business she touches goes down in flames. We have seen it time and time again. And so I would not have allowed Meghan Markle in any way, shape or form to take any leadership position with the philanthropic organization. It'll be interesting to see what comes out in court. If this goes to court, everybody will have an opportunity to speak their truth and speak their mind. And I can understand where this woman is coming from who's worked so hard to build this charity with Prince Harry. He's gotten millions and millions of dollars from Netflix, and now she is left holding the bag, right? She's not getting anything. This charity has probably been run into the ground. They can barely function. And so everybody will have a chance to tell their side, right? Prince Harry can tell his side. Dr. Sophie can tell her side. But this is a developing story. We don't know much yet, but this is the first time where Prince Harry has been sued, and he's not the one suing for defamation. So we'll see how everything shakes out. But I just think, I don't know if Meghan Markle goes to church. I don't know if she prays. I don't know if she has faith in her life. She never really talks about faith or any sort of higher power she believes in, but I feel like she's got some negative energy on her, right? There's something so negative and toxic where everything you touches goes down in flames. Everything you touch crumbles and comes crashing down.
Co-host (Lauren)
That, to me, is a spiritual issue
Host (Link)
here that Meghan Markle needs to go deal with. Now, this next story, apparently, according to author Hugo Vickers and a biography he's working on, Queen Elizabeth, before she died, feared being recorded by Harry and Megan. Now, I believe this story because, remember, years ago, it looked like Meghan Markle was wearing a wire. It looked like she was wearing a wire under her clothes. And everybody thought, okay, they're doing a Netflix series, they're doing a book deal. They're doing all of these things. It wouldn't be shocking to me if they were trying to record the Queen or private conversations, because they already discussed private conversations in the Oprah interview. In the book Spare Time and Time Again, nothing is private. I mean, Prince Harry's talked about arguments with his brother where they allegedly rolled around on the floor fighting. Who talks about personal family arguments like that? It's so disgusting and so sickening to me. And so I can understand the Queen, who's very media savvy, being concerned that they're going to record her, right? That they're going to record her. Especially if you thought they were wearing a wire when they came over to London the last time. Okay, so let me read you a little bit about this. The author of Queen Elizabeth ii, A Personal History says the distress the Sussexes caused the Queen in the last years of her life cannot be overstated. Trust had been broken, basically. So I think as far as having somebody in the room, it was to stop them taking photographs or being wired or God knows what. So the Queen would make sure she had people in the room anytime Harry and Megan came around. Because that way, if they tried to twist a story or build a narrative and a lie, she had witnesses. And this is what's so sad to me. It's so sad that in the Queen's dying years, her dying days, they kicked up all of this dirt. This is a woman who lived a life of service. She became queen at 25 years old, okay? She lived a life of service to the public, and she weathered the storm through many different social movements, many decades and eras and wars and strife. And then here comes this wannabe duchess, wannabe actress from Hollywood, California, and she comes in and then they turn around and they shank the royal family. That's what Prince Harry and Meghan did. They turned around and they shanked everyone because they're two little hucksters who are constantly trying to ingratiate themselves and make a quick buck. They would have made a whole lot more money and lived a better life staying over there in the royal family in London.

Well, by the time you watch this, it is unclear whether Eric Swalwell will still be a congressman or not. It is clear the democratic establishment has its knives out for him. This seems like an orchestrated takedown campaign now, one that is warranted because I think Eric Swalwell is the village idiot for his behavior. But it's clear that they're all really coming for him. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Boom, boom, boom. And we've seen this before, Rem when they wanted to push Joe Biden out Finally, everyone, it was like they got the green light. Turn on Biden. Okay.
Co-host (Lauren)
Turn on Biden. Okay. In the summer of 2024.
Host (Link)
So it's obvious that's what's happening with Eric Swalwell. But he put out a statement on X saying that he was suspending his campaign for governor. And he said to my family, staff, friends and supporters, I'm deeply sorry for mistakes and judgment I've made in my past. I will fight, blah, blah, blah, false allegations that have been made. But that's my fight, not a campaign. So it'll be interesting to see. My thing with Eric Swalwell is this. You are an idiot. Okay? You allowed yourself to be filmed on a bed making out with a girl who many believe is a hooker or a sex worker. I guess we're not allowed to say hooker anymore. They're sex workers. So, Eric Swalwell, you should not be anywhere near a position of power if, number one, you can't keep it in your pants. And then also you allow yourself to be filmed. And then he's allegedly on his government social media, his official verified accounts, messaging girls willy nilly. Like shotgun approach, just messaging. And then at one point, he was called the Snapchat King of Washington. The Snapchat King of Washington.
Co-host (Lauren)
Why is a grown man using Snapchat all day long?
Host (Link)
Right? Eric Swalwell, I think like a lot of men in Washington, they weren't very popular in high school. Girls didn't want to talk to them. You get a little bit of power, a little bit of fame. You move to D.C. where you got a lot of men who are like Peter Pan. They're very infantilized. Many of their families live back home in their districts. So they're out here just living a wild life, having a good time, going for lunches and dinners with lobbyists and consultants who often bring women that are paid to give you attention. And he prays onto you. And so I think Eric Swalwell, he sort of bought into his own hype and felt like he could do whatever he wanted. I mean, there are pictures online of him flirting with women, talking to women. It just, he clearly loved having a little bit of fame and being able to get girls who never would have talked to him at previous points in his life, at least in my opinion. But it's interesting how sex is almost always the downfall of these folks. I mean, look at Bill Clinton, look at John Edwards, Eric Swalwell, and all of the men in between. If they could just keep it in their pants, then they would get to stay in office, okay? Being a congressman, it does not take a genius iq. There are plenty of dumb congressmen and congress women, okay? Some of them are brilliant, and I love them, but some of them are total idiots. And so I think Eric Swal.
Co-host (Lauren)
Well, if you could have just kept it in your pants, okay, like a
Host (Link)
lot of other men, you could have stayed in power. But I just think that animal instinct, they can't stop. They can't override it. And there's something that happens in the brain where I guess when you are turned on, horny, looking for a mate, your brain is scrambled and you can't think. And so that is what has taken down Eric Swalwell. He sat on his phone, apparently messaging women all the time, vying for their attention. And so we'll see what happens. But I think his policies are also detrimental. I think his policies would hurt California. Not that they could get much worse, but I don't want a man who wants men and women's sports open borders. And it's just this democratic shill. And so the fact that he's going down, I don't take pleasure in it, but I'm not sad about it, right? So we'll be tracking the story and seeing what happens with Eric Swalwell. Now, last but not least, Savannah Guthrie has returned to the Today Show. Now, it's interesting. Before the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping or whatever the hell happened, I never even talked about the Today Show. Did any of us watch the Today Show? I don't think any of us watched it. Right. I don't want to watch a bunch of people sit around in the morning and push their, you know, democratic shill talking points. But Savannah Guthrie, I have complete sympathy for her and her family. I also have sympathy for Nancy. We don't say this enough. Poor Nancy was snatched out of bed in the middle of the night and blood was left on the front porch. So God bless Nancy. I hope she's resting in peace. But Savannah, she's back at the Today show acting like she loves everyone. Everything's hunky dory. Don't you know, when they heard Savannah was coming back, they were like, darn it, okay. I think there are some folks, like Hoda and others who are expecting to climb the ranks, and it's like, so cutthroat and people stabbing each other in the back. I just feel like there's some folks who maybe aren't that happy. Savannah has returned to the Today show, but there's some reporting. The New York Post. The Today show has a three word phrase that they're going to use in case there are any developments in the Nancy Guthrie case. So they're going to say, you're needed offset. So if Savannah hears the terms, the term needed offset, that means she needs to quietly get up and find a way to move offset. Now, I think this is going to be awkward. Like if Savannah Guthrie is in the middle of a segment and they're like, you're needed offset. And she goes
Co-host (Lauren)
like, I think she should just say, listen, guys, they're in
Host (Link)
my ear telling me they're in my
Co-host (Lauren)
ear telling me they either found Nancy or they have a development. Deuces.
Host (Link)
Peace out. But for her to kind of get
Co-host (Lauren)
up and saunter, I think that's gonna look a lot more bizarre.
Host (Link)
But I don't watch the Today show, so I will continue to pray for Savannah Guthrie. And if they tell her, you're needed offset. You need it offset, then maybe something good will be of development. Maybe we will have a positive development in this case. But I'm not very hopeful because the Pima county sheriff, I never had hope or faith in him from the beginning. I never had faith in a lot of the folks there on the ground. I really think the FBI should have been in on day one, but obviously they needed to be invited in. I think we'll look back in hindsight as a learning opportunity to see what did not work with Savannah Guthrie. But I just wanted to say I love you guys. Thanks so much for tuning in to spot on with Link Lauren. I'm so grateful that you guys watch our show. I'm grateful that you follow me here and you follow me on social media, on Instagram and X and TikTok, because I'm always running my mouth in between shows. And if you're at home with family or if you're watching us alone, I'm thinking of you guys. So I love you and I will see you soon. Bye.

"People want me to hate Lauren Sanchez so badly. You will never make me hate this woman."
— Link Lauren (12:09)
"If you're rich, be rich. If you're wealthy, be wealthy. Apologizing for it, trying to cosplay as this everyday man...does nothing for us."
— Link Lauren (17:36)
"You are an idiot. Okay? You allowed yourself to be filmed on a bed making out with a girl who many believe is a hooker...Eric Swalwell, you should not be anywhere near a position of power if...you can't keep it in your pants."
— Link Lauren (29:53)
"They turned around and they shanked everyone because they're two little hucksters who are constantly trying to ingratiate themselves and make a quick buck."
— Link Lauren (26:39)
Spot On with Link Lauren delivers another incisive episode, mixing irreverent humor with sharp social and celebrity commentary. Link’s playful takes span from the appeal of alpha males on the golf course, to the hazards (and hygiene horror) of space travel, to a thought-provoking defense of unapologetic wealth through the lens of Lauren Sanchez. The episode’s strongest moments are its merciless roasting of scandal-prone public figures: a withering critique of Meghan Markle’s “toxic touch,” a candid breakdown of Eric Swalwell’s political demise, and deadpan conspiracy commentary about royal wire-tapping fears. Rounding out the episode is a rare look behind NBC’s news desk and the realities of morning show crisis management.
A must-listen for fans of snappy commentary, cultural insight, and no-holds-barred hot takes.
