Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. I'm your host, Link Lauren, if this is your first time tuning into us, welcome. We welcome folks on the left, the right, the middle, all across the political spectrum. It's come one, come all to the Halloween ball. As long as you like the truth and you have a sense of humor. Now today we have a jam packed show. We're going to be talking about the backlash against actress Sydney Sweeney over her American Eagle ad. A lot of these brands are switching up who they put in their advertisements and we're going to talk about the free market and why that might be. We're of course going to do a royal roundup catching up on Prince William, Princess Charlotte, Harry, Meghan, those two hucksters over in Montecito, California. We're also going to talk about Jonathan Van Ness from Netflix's show Queer Eye. Apparently a man in a dress is who Ulta Beauty wants to hire to sell hair products. So we'll get into all of that. We have a lot to discuss. Let's dive right in while the fun police have found something else to be angry about. I feel like some folks online, they just wake up every day and they try to find something to piss themselves off. And it might be ridiculous, it might be inane, it might be unnecessary. Right now, that happens to be actress Sydney Sweeney. Now you might remember her from that movie with Glenn Powell. What was it called? Anyone but you. Anything but you. Sydney Sweeney. She's a beautiful young girl ingenue in Hollywood, incredibly successful. Well, she's in this new American Eagle ad. The whole point of the ad is I've got good genes, right? It's a double entendre. It's a on words. She's wearing denim, she's wearing jeans, and she's saying, I've got good jeans. She looks incredible in the ad, and they probably paid her millions of dollars. So, Sydney Sweeney, get your money. Rack up those coins. But these folks online are upset with Sydney Sweeney. Let's take a look at the ad real quick and then discuss.
- [02:50]
Sydney Sweeney
I'm not here to tell you to buy American Eagle jeans. And I definitely won't say that they're the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn or that they make your butt look amazing. Why would I need to do that? But if you said that you want to buy the jeans, I'm not gonna stop you. But just so we're clear, this is not me telling you to buy American Eagle jeans Cities. You see what I did there, right?
- [03:20]
Link Lauren
So for some reason, this has really ticked off the liberals online. The feminists that I thought we Left behind in 2015, 2016, they've reared their head again. They are all upset with Sydney Sweeney. They say she's using her body and her sexual appeal to sell products. She's demeaning herself as a woman. She's using her body to sell products. So what? So what? Good for her. Okay? Let her be hot. Can't we just have a hot chick with nice breast and a nice chest working on a muscle car anymore? Can't we just have a hot chick collect a check to go and promote a product?
- [03:56]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [03:57]
Link Lauren
I grew up watching the Carl's Juniors commercials. I grew up watching all of these ads with where they had hot chicks. And we're going to talk about the Victoria's Secret fashion show in a minute as well. But all of these women who are upset with Sydney Sweeney, you are miserable and lonely and gross. And you need to find a new hobby. You need to find a new hobby. You're all upset with Sydney Sweeney because she's using her body to sell products, which brands have been doing for hundreds of years. That's show biz, baby. That is showbiz. That's the free market, okay? And American Eagle. American Eagle, they tried to do body positivity. And we'll put up one of their old ads on the screen. American Eagle tried to do the whole body positivity thing, and guess what? It did not help their stock price, okay? Their stock went down. Since putting Sydney Sweeney in the ad last week, they have gained hundreds of billions of dollars in market cap just by putting Sydney Sweeney. And look, I'm the type of person, I'm going to be honest with you. I have friends and family of all different shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicities, all backgrounds. Right? I think everyone is beautiful. That's not what we're saying here. But a brand has the right to put who they want in an advertisement. You're trying to cancel a brand because they hired a young white blonde girl to be in an ad. But you know what? It worked out because people are buying the products. People are actually going out there and buying the products because Sydney Sweeney is a huge star. And a lot of these brands, they tried to go woke and they started to go broke. As we saw with Jaguar. We've talked about that many times. Jaguar, instead of just putting hot chicks in cars, they put these like non binary men in dresses. And guess what? Nobody's buying Jaguars anymore. Nobody wants the cars. So let Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle sell these products. Maha, make America hot again. Can terrible that we have this hot chick in an ad. And I also feel like these social justice warriors and these women online who are tearing Sydney Sweeney down. Are you so insecure? You're so insecure. You are allowing this girl who's doing an advertisement to get you all riled up. Look, I'm not a 6 foot tall supermodel. I don't have like a 12 pack. When I go into a store to buy gym shorts and sneakers, guess what? Every guy on the wall is like ripped and tall and fit and lifting weights. Am I offended by that? Am I offended when I go into a store and the people don't look like me in the advertisements? No. Because I'm there to buy sneakers and gym shorts. That's the point. And these women who choose to get so upset over every little thing. It's you guys who are insecure. You folks who are mad at Sydney Sweeney for collecting a check. Be happy. The girls out there making that money. She's an independent woman making millions of dollars. You feminists should love her and celebrate her and be excited for her. But instead you want to keep tearing her down. And the folks on TikTok, it's no different. We have this TikTok I want to play for you. Should we be surprised that a company whose name is literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this? Probably not, but it's still really shocking. Like a blonde haired, blue eyed white woman is talking about her good genesis like that is Nazi propaganda. They are saying, Sydney Sweetie's ad for American Eagle is Nazi propaganda. Reopen the asylums reopen the schools. In fact, shut down the schools because apparently it's not working. Maybe we should shut down the Department of Education because we end up with videos like this, okay? And the second, the second I saw that pride flag on the wall, the second I saw that frickin. The new pride flag, the ugly pride flag that's like black, white, brown, purple, green, all those random colors. I don't know what happened to the beautiful, simple pride flag. The second I saw that ugly pride flag on the wall, I knew the video was going to be a flop. I knew what we were about to hear. But I really think this speaks more to the insecurity of these women at home than it does anything else. I think these women who are choosing to be upset with Sydney Sweeney, she's hitting a nerve within them, something that is not healed within them. If I put on my psychology Dr. Phil, Oprah hat, well, Oprah's disgusting now. We can't stand Oprah. But if I put on my sort of like, namaste, I'm thinking real deep hat here. I think the insecurity of the women at home, those insecurities are what. That is what's driving this backlash online against Sydney Sweeney. Because you should not be that affected by a brand putting this hot young chick in. In an ad. And guess what? It worked out for them. And something else to point out about these outrage police online. They tried to cancel Sydney Sweeney a few years ago because she went to a party where some folks happened to be in MAGA hats and MAGA gear.

The left loves to talk about diversity and acceptance, and we love everybody, but they don't like diversity of thought.

Sydney Sweeney happens to have some family members who are conservative and who might like President Trump. And you're trying to cancel her for that. You guys are miserable and. And you need to get lives. And now you're trying to cancel her because she collected probably a fat check to do this American Eagle ad. You guys really need to go back to the drawing board because you are miserable and stop being so insecure. Because for once, after years and years of wokeness, someone's in an advertisement that doesn't look exactly like you. Get over it. And Nike, Nike is another brand like American Eagle. They've decided to revert back to their core competencies. They are now prioritizing tradition, conservative values, family. By putting Scottie Scheffler in this new Nike Nike ad where he's with his child. It is a beautiful Nike ad, and it's in sharp contrast to their 2020 AD own the floor where they had plus size women. So they're switching it up, right? They tried one thing right the last four years with Joe Biden in this post November 5th world where President Trump won overwhelmingly. They're switching back now because it's popular to love your family, to be healthy, to be active, to get outdoors, to promote traditional conservative values. That is what's popular now. And so Nike and a lot of these big brands, because of the free market, because of capitalism, they are going back to what they knew years ago. And it's why you see this side by side of how the ads looked years ago and how they look now. And of course some people are going to choose to be offended. But there is no guarantee in life that every single brand is going to have someone that looks like you in an advertisement.
- [10:14]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [10:14]
Link Lauren
If you want to get upset with Nike, that's fine. But you can also just go to buy the sneakers and the shorts and the athletic gear. That's what you're supposed to be in the store for. But there are also some other brands like Calvin Klein, right? Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein, which is was all about hotness, right? Calvin Klein, they did all these hot ads with Mark Wahlberg and Nick Jonas. Everybody was doing these Calvin Klein ads. You know, in the 90s and the early 2000s it was a whole thing. Calvin Klein decided to go woke and go broke also. I believe they put a bunch of like non binary women with beards and men in dresses. Calvin Klein, I don't know what was happening in those marketing meetings. We'll put it up on the screen. But they decided to go woke and go broke as well. Now can we just have some hot people, okay? Is it too much to ask that we have some hot people in ads? Maybe it will drive some traffic to the website, maybe it'll drive traffic to the stores. Because I don't want to see like some overweight non binary man woman with a beard, like a frickin circus clown selling me underwear. You know what I'm saying? I don't need a circus cloud selling me underwear. And Calvin Klein. They've now gone back to putting some hot people in ads.
- [11:23]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [11:23]
Link Lauren
They have this new ad with Lily Collins. She looks gorgeous. She looks stunning. If you look at Bad Bunny. If you look at these other people in the Calvin Klein ads, they have clearly done an about face. A180. They've left the non binary Chewbacca trolls behind and now they're prioritizing hotness. And what confuses me Also, when it comes to these brands that went so woke and so broken, non binary people are like.00,000 whatever percent of the population. But Calvin Klein, because of DEI, ESG, whatever, a lot of these big brands thought we need to jump on this bandwagon. This is what we need to do. Sort of like Bud Light with Dylan Mulvaney. Let's stray from everything we've known and everything that's worked for years and try this ridiculous tomfoolery, buffoonery and clownery. Guess what? It didn't work. It didn't work. So now you've got Sydney Sweeney, you've got American Eagle. People are in an uproar. But also, this is something money can't buy because you'd have to spend a to get people talking about your brand now. They're all talking about your brand. Now. Last night I was talking to my producer and this reminded us of the Victoria Secret Fashion show. Now, as a gay man, a 100% gay man here in 2025, I will tell you with unequivocal certainty, I would make it appointment viewing to sit down and watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion show.
- [12:37]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [12:37]
Link Lauren
I love the entertainment, I love the pageantry, I love the music. They always had like Taylor Swift performing or they had Maroon 5 or whoever the hell was performing at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. And I love see the superhuman size 00, 007 foot tall Amazonian models Traipse down the Runway and ridiculous clownery outfits.
- [12:58]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [12:58]
Link Lauren
That is why I like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. And it's probably why a ton of you also tuned in to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Well, a few years ago, they tried to cancel the Victoria's Secret Fashion show because Ed Raczik, one of the developers of Victoria's Secret, one of the producers of the iconic fashion show, made a comment about, oh, trans women aren't the fantasy, Trans people aren't the fant. He should be allowed to have his opinion. Well, he got canceled. He got so frickin canceled by the woke mob. In fact, they didn't even do a Victoria's Secret fashion show for years. They did not do one for years. Well, they came back recently with a Victoria's Secret fashion show and they said, you know what, get those skinny bitches in here, get those size quadruple zeros in here, put the wings on, get the frickin music going and strut down the Runway and make sure there's film in those cameras. And we all loved it.
- [13:46]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [13:47]
Link Lauren
Nobody out there thinks they should look like Bella Hadid all the time, okay? Unless you are insecure. Unless you're insecure and you're not living in reality. You know that these are alien, superhuman people who have personal trainers, personal chefs, plastic surgeons, estheticians.
- [14:03]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [14:04]
Link Lauren
Us as civilians, we're not supposed to look like superhuman models. But some folks still get offended by seeing skinny models on television. And that's sort of the dichotomy I'm trying to paint for you here in this episode right now. Now, there are brands that are allowed to put skinny, tall supermodels in advertisements. Does that look like 99% of the country? No. Does it look like 99% of my group of friends and family who are of all different shapes and sizes and backgrounds? Absolutely not. But if you choose to be offended, that is because you are insecure and you have thin skin. We shouldn't be so offended all the time that brands choose to give us some skinny models. You know what? If American Eagle decides we're gonna put Sydney Sweeney, a skinny little hot blonde chick ingenue in Hollywood, in an advertisement, and you choose to be offended, that's on you. You're allowing that to erode your happiness and eat away at you.
- [14:56]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [14:56]
Link Lauren
Not everyone is gonna look like you all the time. I walk into rooms, I walk into meetings, and sometimes I'm the only gay person in there. But you know what? I don't make being gay my entire personality. And so for these folks at home, these liberals on the Internet, they feel so upset when they see Sydney Sweeney, are so upset when they see the Victoria's Secret fashion show. And these skinny models, because they're so insecure, they need such outside affirmation all of the time. They need to see someone who looks exactly like them. Which is tough, because some of y' all look like trolls and you look like Chewbacca.
- [15:27]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [15:28]
Link Lauren
It's tough. Some of these, like LGBTQIA, R2D2 non binary folks sitting around on TikTok with the pride flags in the background, as we just showed you, they choose to be offended. But someone isn't always going to look like you in every single TV show. And they've ruined plenty of good TV shows, which we'll get to later in the episode, because they feel like they have to check every single box and every single quota. If you choose to be offended by Victoria's Secret, that's on you. If you choose to be offended by American Eagle, that's on you. And you should go look in the Mirror and get comfortable with who you are and your own skin. That is how I live. And that's the advice I give to so many people, especially young people growing up, who message me, who leave comments. And this is the advice I give to parents who are raising young kids and raising young adults. Going out into the world, be comfortable with who you are. It might take a journey, it might take years, but figure out who the hell you are. So when you go out into the real world, you're strong, you're secure, you know who you are and you can't be offended by every little thing. You can't be knocked off your rocker, okay? Because a brand puts some skinny model who doesn't look like you in an advertisement. You can't be knocked off your rocker because someone makes a negative comment about the way you look, maybe on your social media, because that's the way the world is. Do the work to figure out who you are and to be confident and secure who you are so you can go out into the world and get shit done.
- [16:42]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [16:43]
Link Lauren
That's what I did. I knew growing up I'm not going to be a 6 foot tall supermodel, but communication is my skill and it's what I was put on this earth to do. So go to the drawing board and figure out what you were supposed to do in this world. And it might not be being a supermodel because for 99.9% of us, that is not, that is not the career path laid in front of us. We aren't all going to be Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. That's okay. You have to make the choice not to be offended constantly. And it's interesting to see these brands go from woke back to what was working for them before for decades now. Something else that's gone viral over the weekend is this picture of Elizabeth Hurley. Now, Elizabeth Hurley was an iconic actress and model. I remember her from Austin Powers.
- [17:26]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?
- [17:26]
Link Lauren
Austin Powers is one of my favorite movies. I watched Austin Powers growing up. And that explains a lot, actually. I watched Austin Bowers as my brain was forming. And maybe that's why I am the way I am. But Elizabeth Hurley has gone viral because there's this picture of her that she posted or someone posted. It's just getting millions of views and it's her. It's of her in 1990 versus 2025 where she's now 60 years old. First off, she looks incredible. She looks insane. Okay, does she have a personal trainer and chef and probably go get some Things done, in my opinion. Absolutely she does. Do most 60 year olds look like Elizabeth Hurley? No. Do most human beings look like Elizabeth Hurley? No. But there are some women in the comments saying this is unobtainable. This isn't what a real 60 year old looks like. Oh, she should take this down. She's flaunting it. This isn't fair. Yeah, that's the whole point. She is unobtainable. But she's a supermodel celebrity actress named Elizabeth Hurley. And this speaks to my original thesis, okay? These folks on the screen all the time, the reason they're on the screen, the reason they're walking runways and getting millions of dollars from motion pictures and we're not, is because they're unobtain. That is the point, okay? And I think a lot of women who are secure in themselves don't need to feel offended by Elizabeth Hurley being in an advertisement, are looking insanely good at 60 years old, okay? She doesn't look like 99% of 60 year olds on earth, but she's Elizabeth Hurley. And I hate when I see this word. It's unobtainable. These are unobtainable beauty standards. They need to rethink this. Take it down. Take it down. That's the point, you dingbats. The point is that she's unobtainable, okay? She's a frickin supermodel icon. That is the point. She's also dating Billy Ray Cyrus. Fun fact, did you know that Elizabeth Hurley might be Miley Cyrus's new stepmom soon? So Elizabeth Hurley, good for you. I don't know what Billy Ray has going on. Maybe he's taken her to the Old Town Road. Maybe he's taken her to the Achy Breaky Heart Motel. I don't know. I hope he doesn't take her to the Achy Breaky Heart Motel. But no Elizabeth Hurley. Good for you. You look stunning. You look incredible. You look insane. I've never seen a six year old who looks like you. But for all these women in the comments saying she's unobtainable, that's literally the point, people. That's the point. She's a supermodel. She's unobtainable. And we need to accept that and not get offended by every little thing. Now, someone else, someone else I want to talk about is someone I used to run into sometimes in New York City, and that was Sam Smith, okay? Sam Smith you might remember as the sultry British singer. He was incredible. He won all of these Grammys. Well, Sam Smith decided a few years ago he was a young handsome man. He was going to be non binary and go by they them and start wearing basically fitted bed sheets around and high heels. And in my opinion, Sam Smith, you need to go back to the drawing board. This is what artists do. I've noticed this trend, right? This is what artists and celebrities do when the career starts to take a little bit of a dive. They say, well, I'm non binary, I'm trans, I'm gender non conforming. You know, Harry Styles tried all of that too. Harry Styles was this like handsome guy. He started wearing sort of like dresses and gender bending clothes. Very like new romantic era. Kind of like ripping off Bowie because he needed to get a little bit of attention and a little bit of press. Well, Sam Smith went out in this ridiculous outfit. It's like this long dark blue dress with wide sleeves, this round neckline. My producer typed this up and highlighted his tattoos, all this. Anyway, Sam Smith is walking around and I think Sam Smith also. Tell me if I'm wrong. My producer in my ear, Sam Smith is wearing this sort of like almost like a do rag. He's wearing this sort of like headpiece on his head. So I don't know what's going on. He looks sort of like a babushka. But Sam Smith, I think Sam Smith is just desperate for attention. And Sam Smith also reminds me of Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato is someone who almost went woke. We almost lost her to the woke mind virus. Now Demi Lovato has decided she's going to get married, settled down, she just got married. She's going to do a more feminine, divine look and go back to what was working for her before. We're going to put a side by side up on the screen. So you can see when Demi Lovato had her sort of like non binary haircuts, when she said she was gonna go by they them pronouns. Well, that lasted a few years. Demi Lovato, she's dropped the they them. She's gotten married to a nice man. She's back in her feminine, beautiful, divine energy. So Demi Lovato was almost a casualty to the woke mind virus. But she found her way home. She found her way back home. And we wish you well, Demi Lovato. We're happy you found your way back home. But it was dicey for a few years. We almost lost a lot of people to the woke mind virus. Actually, Sam Smith being one of them. And Sam Smith was also someone who decided to lean into all of this satanic imagery. And I don't know, this happens. I can imagine why this happens. But this happens in Hollywood often where someone says, well, I'm trans, I'm non binary, I'm this. And they feel like they just need to push the envelope by being sacrilegious, by sloughing off religion, by taking, you know, religious iconography and sort of spitting on it in a disgusting way. And that's what Sam Smith did, especially with his concerts. He started doing this weird satanic imagery and saying he had no gender and he was non binary. And it's sad to see someone who was so talented, Sam Smith, so genuinely talented, authentically talented, tank his own career in a way by going toward all of this satanic they them non binary stuff that he didn't need to do. You really didn't need to do it. But it goes to show you. And people get desperate, really desperate for attention. They go to desperate measures and it also goes to show you you could be a wealthy, multimillionaire, Grammy winning performer. The woke mind virus is going to get you. The woke mind virus is going to get you. And it's why it's careful, why you have to be careful not to hang around certain crowds and why I don't think people should be l in Hollywood. And I fear for a lot of these kids growing up in Hollywood. But Sam Smith, we have this satanic disgusting imagery on the screen. He looks terrible, he looks gross, he makes me want to vomit. And Sam Smith, it's so sad because he used to be so talented and then he decided to go the they them non binary route. Demi Lovato, she almost got sucked into the they them non binary wokeness. She found her way back home. When elites tell you what's right and who's wrong, it's rarely about truth truth, it's about control. They twist facts to protect their own. And people fall for it because it's easier to follow confidence than question the source. Ground News doesn't publish stories or push opinions. Instead their app and website show how every issue is covered across the political spectrum. You'll see each source's bias, who benefits from their version of the truth and what stories are being ignored altogether. Take the recent arrest of a Pulitzer winning Washington Post executive.

Well, this wouldn't be an episode of Spot on with Link Lauren if we did not do a royal roundup. You guys know know I love the royal family. I revere the pomp, the circumstance, the monarchy. I love everything having to do with the royals. But we have to start off by talking about the fake royals, the wannabe royals, the knockoff royals over in Montecito. And that is none other than the Duke and Duchess of scam a lot. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Because their popularity continues to dwindle down. Now, as we told you in the last episode, their Netflix deal is not getting renewed. That hundred million dollar deal is not getting renewed. And some more folks have chimed in. So we have this comment from a British broadcaster and photogr Helena Chard. Here's what she had to say about Harry and Meghan. There are whispers that Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal will expire quietly. I can't imagine that either party would want to shout this news over the rooftops. They will hope it's a smooth transition. Now she says the Sussexes star attraction has taken a nosedive. The majority of their material has received poor viewing figures and there doesn't seem to be suitable appeal for any new production starring the duo. That's true. The court of public opinion is key here. The public do not feel kindly toward them. They trash their family, created a huge amount of damage and monetized off of the back of the attacks. Now this is what I've been saying for years, okay, Meghan Markle, she goes over to the royal family, she cons them into thinking she's this big Hollywood actress, even though none of us had really heard of her before. Barely any of us had heard of her. I never watched Suit. She was like a D list actress struggling to make it in Hollywood. But she goes over there. She cons the royals into thinking she's this big Hollywood star. Like it? Whoop dee doo. Okay, they throw her a massive, massive wedding in the summer of 2018. They roll out the red carpet. They give her a big beautiful wedding and party. The family embraces her. The queen embraces her. Charles embraces her. William and Catherine, everyone embraces Meghan Markle with open arms. They welcome her family. They welcome her with all the baggage, okay? All the baggage that came with Meghan Markle. They welcomed it. They say, if this is who Harry loves, then we are going to embrace her. The British people embraced Meghan Markle. They said if this is who Diana's son wants to marry, we will welcome her with open arms. They were L. Lining the streets. You can go look at the footage from the royal wedding in 2018. Lining the streets. It wasn't good enough for Meghan Markle. She didn't want to work. Sort of like Jasmine Crockett, she doesn't want to work. She wants to twerk. She's lazy. So, Meghan Markle, she was lazy. She didn't really want to work. She didn't want to do the royal duties, even though there weren't that many of them. And she turned around and she accused the royal family of racism. She accused them of racism. She said she was miserable. She said they gave her mental health issues, which I really don't believe. In my opinion, she's a very grown, secure woman who doesn't seem to be someone you can shake. She seems to be pretty strong here.

But she says the royal family drove her to have mental health issues. She does tell all books and Oprah and documentaries and six part series and another reality show. And guess what? The grift is up. The grift is up for Meghan Markle. She's going to have to find something to talk about other than the family she was a part of for two years. Right. She marries in 2018. She leaves a royal family. At the beginning of 2020. She was around like 18 to 24 months. I think she's going to have to find something new to discuss. So she's been writing on this title, the Duchess of Sussex, for years and years and years. The last five years. And the well is run dry.

The well has run dry. Netflix knows this. The court of public opinion knows this. People aren't that interested anymore. What made them interesting in the beginning was the fact that they absconded to the US and turned on the royal family. That even though I love the royal family, is what was interesting. Well, now that is no longer. They've gotten all the juice and they've squeezed all the juice they can out of that. I think Netflix has finally said, uncle, we're over it. There's nothing else. And speaking of Netflix and this deal they have with Archewell, their production company, Meghan and Harry talked Netflix into licensing this book, and the book was called Meet Me at the Lake by Carly Fortune. Now, they allegedly talked Netflix into spending $3 million licensing and optioning this book to turn into a film. Some type of programming on Netflix that Harry and Meghan were going to produce. And Meghan Markle couches herself as this Hollywood maven and genius and. And this wicked, incredible wizard producer, even though she has no qualifications whatsoever and was never very successful in Hollywood. So they optioned this book and it goes nowhere. It was just reported in Page Six on the New York Post in an exclusive. No director, no producer. It's sitting around collecting dust. Of course, Netflix is pissed, right? Netflix, all these streamers. They're trying to make money. It's a very competitive environment when they're spending a couple million here, a couple million there, and Harry and Meghan are doing nothing. They've spent millions licensing this book. I haven't read the book. Maybe it's a good book. Might be great. Maybe I'll put it on the reading list when I take a vacation in about five years. But until then I won't be reading it. But they license the book for millions of dollars. Harry and Meghan don't want to do anything. Megan always jumps from one passion project to the next, right? She wants to do a clothing line. Then she wants to sell jams, jellies and dog biscuits. Then she's going to do this show, and then she's going to do a blog, and then she's going to do this. It's manic. It's manic for Meghan Markle. Manic Megan, let's call her Manic Megan because she changes what she wants to do in her career every day. She came out with the jams and jellies and as ever, and then now she says she's not going to restock till next year. And she might want to do the clothing line. Who does that? Who does that? She names the brand American Riviera Orchard, then she changes it at the last minute, Then she changes it, changes it to this. It's too frickin much. It's manic and it's crazy. And I think the crux of the issue is that she actually doesn't want to work. I think Meghan Markle just doesn't want to work. She wants to twerk. She wants to get millions of dollars to sit around her mansion in Montecito and not really do anything. And she doesn't have that hustle mentality that even the Kardashians and Kris Jenner have. Because I look at Meghan and Harry now as sort of reality stars like the Kardashians. But the Kardashians know how to hawk their products. They know how to build skims and those brands and good American jeans. Meghan Markle doesn't have that she doesn't have that magic touch and she's not very likable. Right. She's not likable to almost any audience. I think she has five or six fans left and they always find their way to my comment section. But Meghan Markle, we wish you well. I don't know what's going to happen with this book, you option, but it's no surprise to me, me that Netflix from a capitalistic standpoint, has said goodbye. Au revoir, we'll see you later. Now, speaking of the real royals, we have to talk about Prince William and Charlotte. So I love this next generation of royals. You have George, Charlotte and Louis. I love seeing the kids grow up and they seem so well adjusted as young kids, especially being in the public eye at that level with that volume and velocity of press constantly, which is a testament to William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales. Wales, how they're raising these kids, right? Prince William, he was taking care of his wife who was having health issues, was dealing with cancer. They were raising their children. They were doing royal engagements and duties and they never complained once. They never complained once. Which is a stark contrast to the couple over in Montecito, California, that constantly complain, constantly complains, wants to say they can't even come back to the uk. It's not safe for them to come back to the uk. And so I love seeing this next generation of royals because they seem like such a good, good, well adjusted kids, which is a testament to their parents. Well, Prince William and Princess Charlotte, they went viral over the weekend because they attended this big, huge soccer match. Now, for the folks watching in the UK, you call it football, Here we call it soccer. So let me read you a little bit about what's going on. We have the pictures up on the screen. So Princess Charlotte, she watched the British women's soccer team take on Spain at the 2025 European Women's Championship in Switzerland on Sunday alongside her dad, Prince William. Now, Charlotte, Charlotte, she is a huge sports fan. She was at Wimbledon, she's now at this soccer game. She loves accompanying her parents to these big sporting events. Maybe she's very athletic herself. I don't know. They keep that private, which is totally their prerogative and as they should. But I love seeing her out with her father. She's the only daughter. She's beautiful, she's stunning. She's going to continue to grow up in the public eye. And I just love that they're so well adjusted. And like I said, that has all to do with the parents and the folks around them. And it also goes to show you can raise kids in the Royal family and have them come out great, great and fine. And it's really about the parents. You know, it's nature versus nurture. But a lot of it is a nurture. And I think with Harry and Megan, it's a good thing that they left because I don't know if they would have had the same parenting skills to manage the public eye and raising their kids over in the uk William and Catherine, they've struck that incredible balance of knowing when to bring the kids out, knowing when to let them be kids. And I don't think Harry and Megan have that. And I think also we're going to continue to see Megan trot her kids out for fame, fortune, to sell her dollar dog biscuits, right? Every time Megan's, you know, popularity dip, she's not getting headlines for a few days. What does she do? She brings out the kids. Archie and Lily. Bet she brings out those kids. And I think we're going to continue to see Meghan Markle hawk these kids as she becomes more desperate. But the royal kids, I think I prefer. Okay, I love the real royal kids. They're classy, they're elegant, they're nice. They're not trying to do too much. The kids over in Montecito, I think it's a little sickening when you see Harry and Meghan trot them out for family fame and fortune. Now, speaking of the royal family and the monarchy and the crown and the commonwealth, our president over here, President Trump, he took a trip to Scotland. By the time you watch this, he might be back from Scotland.
- [33:03]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?

He was in Turnberry, Scotland. Also, his mother, Mary MacLeod, Trump, she's from Scotland. President Trump, like me, like most of you, he reveres the monarchy in the royal family, which is one thing I love about him. And I think Queen Elizabeth ii, may she rest in peace, she also was quite fond of President Trump. Well, he's over in Scotland, right? And he secured this massive trade deal with the eu. They're going to invest over a trillion dollars. We're going to have the tariffs. Everything is going great. People were panicking. They said the tariffs are going to tank the economy. We just ran a surplus in June for the first time since 2017. So apparently President Trump and Scott Besant and his administration knew what they were doing. So I'm happy about this incredible trade deal with the eu. But what I really love seeing on President Trump's trip to Scotland, besides the economic deal, were the relationships he had with his grandkids, right? So when you see President Trump with his grandkids, that is a side to him. I would love to see even more, because people can knock President Trump for his policies. They can knock him for the tariffs, they can knock him for this. Because this is a partisan environment, right? Politics is a blood sport. One thing you can't knock President Trump for is the way he loves his kids and his grandkids and his children. And grandkids are first class all the way, okay? They're not drug addicts, they're not alcoholics, they're not getting arrested. And he loves his grandkids. And I love seeing Grandpa Trump, I love seeing him with his family, because that is not something you always see, because he has to be on fight mode. He has to get up and say, fight, fight, fight, to take on the swamp and to take on the establishment in Washington, D.C. so I love seeing President Trump with his family, with his grandkids. And it's such a sharp contrast. It is such a sharp contrast to Joe Biden, who wouldn't even acknowledge his own granddaughter. Joe Biden, if you remember, he didn't even want to put up a stocking for Navy Roberts, who's his granddaughter in Arkansas, right? Joe Biden, he allowed topless trans people on the lawn cocaine at the White House. He turned that White House into a cesspool, okay? And so one thing you can't take away from President Trump, he's restored dignity to the White House. He loves his kids, he loves his grandkids. Look at Hunter Biden. Compare Hunter and Joe Biden's family, okay? Compare all of them to President Trump's kids. They're all winners. And I love seeing Grandpa Trump. So the trade deals and the tariffs and the fact that that's going incredibly well at the eu, I am happy about, about. But I love seeing this Grandpa Trump side, and I know many of many of you do on social media as well. And it's nice to have kids and grandkids around the White House because it makes it feel like the people's house, right? This is the people's house. And we didn't have that so much the last four years, right? You had Jill Biden, the First lady, who was pushing her husband to stay in the race because she's a power hungry woman. And he had Derelict Hunter, who knows who left that cocaine at the White House. But yeah, Derelict Hunter coming around and trying to call the shot shots. The Bidens were pretty trashy. As I said before, I feel like, the Bidens are pretty much white trash. They're white trash. That happened just hang around in politics for decades. And I say that as someone who has white trash in some of my own family. We all have a little bit of white trash in us, but Joe Biden's white trash, that takes the cake. So I love seeing President Trump with his kids, his grandkids, and they're classy and they're doing great. And I hope that they're not treated unfairly by their friends. I hope they can have a normal life as much as they can and be adjusted. And Kai Trump, oh, my gosh. Kai Trump's speech at the RNC was so incredible. So shout out to the Trump family and shout out to this trip to Scotland, the economic success, but also Grandpa Trump getting to spend some time with his kids. Are you a yo yo dieter?

And just like that, now you might be wondering, why the hell am I watching the Sex and the Sea reboot? Is it one of the most horrible shows on television? Absolutely. But I've already invested all of this time, okay? It's almost like a bad relationship. It's like you've invested all of these years. Am I going to walk or am I going to stay? That's how I feel with the Sex and the City reboot. I know most of you feel the same way. You guys write me and you say you hate watching Sex and the City because you've already invested all this time. You've watched Carrie whore herself out through the streets of New York City for decades. What's another couple of seasons within just like that so in this reboot, finally, and I don't care if this is a spoiler, it's a spoiler we have to discuss. We are finally done with Aiden. Aiden is gone. Thank you, God. Aiden is gone. Okay, shout out to all the woodworkers and the carpenters. I love a man who can work with his hands, but Aiden, I couldn't stand. I've always been team Big since I was two years old.
- [38:10]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?

Sex and the City premiered when I was like six months old. I don't know what I was doing watching Sex and the City. Explains a lot. Explains a lot, you guys. But I've never been team Aiden. I've always been Team Mr. Big. And so now they finally gotten rid of Aiden, okay? They finally broken down up. He's gone back to Virginia to be with his near do well family and the wife and the kid who's like throwing shit through windows.
- [38:30]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?

Link Lauren
So they've gone back to Virginia, Aiden and the whole crew. Carrie is now probably going to enter into some type of relationship with the pipe smoking author who lives downstairs in Gramercy park in this multi billion, multi million dollar home she's purchased. But I did a poll on Instagram, okay, I was curious. I did a poll on Instagram, I said I want to see. Are you guys after 30 years, after 30 years of this broad going between one man and the other, are you team Mr. Big or are you team Aiden? And the poll results overwhelmingly chose Mr. Big. So Mr. Big, 76%, Aiden, 24%. Which tells us Mr. Big, maybe they shouldn't have killed him off. Okay, I'm still upset y' all killed off this handsome, conservative, successful man. But I think it speaks to the culture and the writers. On Sex and the City, you're really not allowed to have a tall, all handsome, masculine, macho, conservative guy on TV anymore. They had to kill him off. In lieu of all of the wokeness, they killed off Mr. Big and then they put this che Diaz, non binary standup comic, pro Palestine person on the show, right? They made Miranda a lesbian who's going through a late in life journey. Great. Good for her. They bring in Rosie o'. Donnell, they bring in Rosie o' Donnell to Sex in the City to try to save it and revive. Here's my advice to anyone who's a producer, director. You know, I don't know a thing or two about Hollywood, right? I'm just sitting here yapping my mouth about politics and culture here to you guys. But my advice, my 2 cents unsolicited is this. If your show is flopping, you might not want to call in Rosie o', Donnell, okay? If Rosie o' Donnell is the person you think you're going to call to save your sinking ship of a crap show, you might want to go back to the drawing board, okay? So Carrie and Mr. Big, they were that iconic couple. Unfortunately, they killed off Mr. Big because you can't have a handsome, nice man anymore. But Mr. Big, the amount of people who wrote me saying they were team Mr. Big was overwhelming. I've talked about everything, right? I covered the entire election. I made thousands of videos during the 2024 election. I go on TV shows and talk about politics. I have never gotten more of a response to anything than when I said, Bring back Mr. Big. We love Mr. Big, okay? He's handsome. He's suave. Is he a little emotionally unavailable? Yes. But I would let Mr. Big ruin my life, okay? I let Mr. Big take me for a spin around the block. You know what I'm saying? Because Mr. Big, he's handsome, he's tall, he's conservative and successful. I keep going back to the drawing board, okay? And the reason Carrie wanted Mr. Big so badly, if we break it down psychologically, the reason Carrie wanted Mr. Big so badly is because he was secure in chilling and not giving her, and I mean, actually just chilling, doing his work. He was not giving her that gratification she constantly needed, right? She was always looking for this outside validation from men. And the fact that Mr. Big, he was like, meh, okay, that is what she couldn't stand, right? She was always chasing after him because he was so secure and doing his own thing. And I always say that. That's always my relationship and advice. If you want to get someone's attention, give them no attention, okay? Give them no attention and they will come crawling back to you. That is always my advice. If you want a guy to go out with you ladies, do not constantly hit him up. Don't try to show up at his gym. Don't try to run into him at Starbucks, okay? Give him nothing, okay? If you give these men nothing, they will give you everything. That is my advice to you, okay? If they stop getting that dopamine hit. If Carrie stopped being such a needy little whiny chick for Mr. Big and always desperate. And remember, she was like, calling him at midnight and saying, are you going to come to my birthday? Are you this? Are you that? If she just stopped giving him attention, she would have him eating out of the palm of her hand. But because she was needy and desperate. He didn't see her as high value. You know what I'm saying? And in hindsight, in hindsight, was it the most realistic show to have this, like, successful Wall Street Mr. Big Guy Dating, like a chain smoking, ratty sex columnist? No, but that's when the show is excellent because it was actually sexy and fun. So bring back Mr. Big, okay? And for the people saying he got canceled in real life and he got me toot, I can separate the art from the artist. I will actually separate the art from the artist and Sex in the City at this point, it has no plot. There's literally no plot to Sex in the City. So they could just bring back Mr. Big and pretend they never killed him off. I think we would all accept that. Tell me in the comments if you agree. Just bring back Mr. Big. Pretend he did not die and have a heart attack on the peloton. And that Carrie waited 10 minutes to call the police. Which was shady. Which was shady. Okay, let's pretend that didn't happen. Bring them all back. Several people have written to me. They could just say that this is all a fever dream. This has all been a dream the last few years. Mr. Big never died. Bring it on back.

That is what's going to revive your show. What made Sex in the City great and why? A lot of women wanted to tune in, of course, to see the clothes and the relationships between the women, but they wanted to tune in to see these hot, handsome men gallivanting around New York City having sex. The show is called Sex and the City, and that's the one thing missing from the show at this point. So bring back Mr. Big. That's my advice to the Sex and the City producers. But I want to talk about something else. Something else from the early 2000s that's coming back, and it's the only remake I'm going to allow. That is the Devil Wears Prada. I could not be more happy.

Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?

I could not be more happy. If you ask me. If you ask me, do I want to bring back some of my deceased relatives who have passed on, or do I want a reboot of the Devil Wears Prada? I'm going to say the Devil Wears Prada. Sorry. Rest in peace, everybody. I want to see the Devil Wears Prada too. Okay? If you haven't seen this movie, it's on probably every streaming service. Go watch the Devil Wears Prada. It's with Anne Hathaway. It's with Meryl Streep, who played Nigel, who was Act Stanley Tucci. Played Nigel. Okay, they're doing a remake of the Devil Wears Prada, and we'll put some of the clips up on the screen. They've been filming all around New York City. There's so much excitement around this. And I just want to say this is how you do a reboot. Okay? This is how you do a reboot. Get the original cast. Get the original cast. Don't try to make it all woke. Don't try to do what you did with Snow White and Rachel Zell Zegler.
- [44:08]
Jonathan Van Ness
Okay?

Link Lauren
Get the original cast, get the stars back, and do a reboot. And this is what I want to see. And apparently the movie is going to follow sort of the decline of the print industry. Of course, everything is going online, so people aren't buying Vogue anymore. They aren't buying so many of these fashion magazines. So the movie is going to be tackling real issues. Consumerism, capitalism, the decline of print. But I'm also just excited to see Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in ridiculous situations. And I want to see some good outfits. I haven't been so sold. I'm going to be so honest with you. The paparazzi pictures we've seen and some of it we have up on the screen from the taping of the film, I'm skeptical. Okay. Patricia Field did the original outfits, I believe, for Sex and the City. She was also the costume designer on Excuse me. For the Devil Wears Prada. She was also the costume designer on Sex and the City. I don't know if Pat Field is back for the Devil Wears Prada. I have not been loving these outfits. The movie is about fashion. Let's see some fashion, people. Let's see some fashion, okay? I don't want to see. See Andy running around New York City in a burlap sack and overalls, Okay? I don't want to see it. Let's bring some fashion. Now, the movie is apparently going to release on May 1, 2026, which is the Friday before the Met Gala. Very smart. Very, very, very smart. So I can't wait to see the Devil Wears Prada remake. We'll be following it when we get more about the plot. I will tell you, and I know some of you tune in for politics and culture. This is culture, okay? This is culture. You might think it's ridiculous I'm sitting here talking about the Devil Wears Prada remake. But I love the film, and I can't wait what they do. And I'm happy to see Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep back on screen together. Well, gird your loins. Ulta Beauty has decided to go woke and maybe they're going to go broke.

As we saw with Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney, when a brand strays from their core competencies and they hire a man in a dress to promote their products, especially a man who makes a mockery of women, things don't go so well for them. Well, Ulta Beauty has decided to hire Jonathan Van Ness, JV from the show Queer Queer Eye. Now, if you don't remember who this is, Jonathan Van Ness is the man on Queer Eye with the beard. Who the. The man with the beard and the long hair who wears dresses.

That is who JBN is. JBN also apparently has some beef with me. JBN has left nasty comments on my tick tock and on my social media saying I look disturbing. I think he said I look gross and disturbing one time. I've literally never met this person. Person. All I said was, why does Jonathan Van Ness want to trans children so badly? Why was he sobbing, crying one time? Because someone told him they didn't think kids should be allowed to have cross sex hormones. And I said, jonathan Van Ness, you don't have children. You're not a parent. You don't have any skin in the game. Why do you want to push trans ideology so much on children? And apparently I struck a nerve. Never met this man, but I struck a nerve. Well, Jonathan Van Ness, who apparently goes by they, she and he pronouns, very indecisive.

If you can't figure out if you're a man or a woman, I don't think we should be taking life advice from you. But Jonathan Van Ness has this new line of hair care products at Ulta Beauty and he's receiving backlash, okay, because he's running around in a dress. Most women, okay, don't want to take advice from a bearded man in a dress on fashion. They just don't, okay? I don't date women. Don't know much about the female anatomy. I'm a 100% gay man. But if I can tell you one thing I know about women, they don't want life advice from a man in a dark dress with a beard. But Jonathan Van Ness, he has this brand called JVN Hair, which is now launched at Ulta beauty in approximately 700 stores. Now, this video has gone viral of Jonathan Van Ness on Instagram cosplaying a woman dressed in a dress, dressed in a dress with heels and a beard and Jonathan Van Ness. I don't Think we'll be hearing much from him in about a year. Queer eyes coming to an end. I think the culture is shifting back to common sense, right? The culture shifting back to common sense sense. You have two genders. You have a man, you have a woman. Most women are going to sell hair care products. That's just the way it goes. Most women who go to Ulta Beauty and Sephora, they don't want a man with a beard telling them what they should be doing with their hair, their fashion, their clothes, and Jonathan Van Ness to come for someone like me and to attack other. Other people's looks and to say we look gross and disturbing. Have you looked in the mirror, sir? Have you looked in the mirror? And I will go back to what I said earlier. If you can't even decide what pronouns you want to use, we don't need to take advice on from you. You can't figure out if you're a man or a woman in the year 2025, you've got some bigger fish to fry, sweetheart. You might want to go back to the drawing board and get off TikTok. But my main complaint with Jonathan Van Ness, besides these products, besides, you know, making a mockery of women like Dylan Mulvaney did. My main complaint with Jonathan Van Ness, he's not a parent. He has no skin in the game. And he continues to push, push, push for kids to be able to have sex changes. That is something I'm never going to support. And the second you push back on Jonathan Van Ness in an interview, he starts to sob and cry, which is a mechanism he uses to try and shut down conversation. He starts crying and acting like a little tiny victim, and woe is me and oh, my God, you're pushing back on me. You're transphobic. No, you're not even trans. You can't even commit to the bit. You're just a man in dress. You're lazy. Actually, I respect Jonathan Van Ness more now that I'm thinking about it off the cuff. You guys extemporaneously, to use an SAT word. I think I would respect Jonathan Van Ness more if he actually just tried to transition. But you're a lazy who doesn't even want to do that. You're just a bearded man who throws on a dress. You know what I'm saying? You're a bearded man who throws a. On a dress. You've been. We've been doing that since the 80s, okay? There are glam rockers who used to do that. You're not that original. Jonathan Van Ness, I'd respect you more if you could commit to the bit. Jonathan's like, call me. They she he because you're lazy and you can't commit to anything. So good luck to you, Jonathan Van Ness. But I'll never respect someone who fights and fights and fights to trans children. I think it's sick. I think it's gross. And I know a overwhelming majority of the country agrees with me. And as for you guys, one thing I love about our show is you don't have to agree with me all the time. Like I said, I welcome folks from all across the political spectrum. I welcome an open dialogue in my comments. You guys know I'm in the comments responding and liking and reacting and listening to what you guys say. A lot of you write me on X, you write me on Instagram and across social media and on TikTok. And so I listen to what you have to say and I couldn't be more grateful that you tune in to spot on with link Lauren that you give us five stars, that you give us a thumbs up, that you subscribe and I know many of you share the show with your friends.
