1. The Beckham Family Feud Goes Public

[01:03–07:06]

• Background: Brooklyn Beckham posts a lengthy message on Instagram, accusing his parents (David & Victoria) of controlling the family narrative and sabotaging his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz.
  • Accuses Victoria of “ruining” his wedding’s first dance.
  • Claims about pressure to sign away his name and a last-minute dress crisis for Nicola.
• Host’s Take: Link Lauren is “sort of Team Beckham parents,” criticizing Brooklyn’s decision to air this drama publicly rather than handling it privately.
• Culture Commentary: Draws a sharp comparison to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's public family disputes, highlighting the privileged backgrounds of both couples.
• Memorable Quote:
  • “Brooklyn Beckham, he’s a Nepo baby. He’s a spoiled little bitch brat. At this point, everything has been handed to him in his life.” (Link Lauren, 03:25)
  • “This is just another Prince Harry and Meghan Markle situation...all they had to do is stay over there eating crumpets and scones.” (Link Lauren, 04:44)
• Insight: Suggests wealthy families should solve problems privately rather than fielding every grievance for public consumption, “we all have our own family things going on.”

2. Prince Harry and Meghan: More Tears, TV Cancellations, Public Fatigue

[07:06–11:07]

• Legal Drama: Prince Harry is in court in London, suing the Daily Mail and other tabloids. Cites a quote where Harry breaks down about the impact on Meghan:
  • Quote: “They’ve made my wife’s life an absolute misery. I think it’s fundamentally wrong to have to put all of us through this again when all we were asking for is an apology and some accountability.” (Prince Harry, quoted by Link Lauren, 08:46)
• Host’s Critique:
  • Expresses skepticism about Harry’s repeated court battles; suggests it’s partly motivated by missing London and the British culture.
  • Hormonal lampooning of Harry’s home life: “...I think Prince Harry would rather travel to London to sit in a courthouse than be stuck in the asylum with her [Meghan] and Montecito.” (09:34)
  • On Netflix canceling “With Love, Meghan”: "Not shocked. Nobody was watching it. That show is like, number 5206 on the Netflix chart.”
• On Meghan’s Cooking Show: Highly sarcastic take on her lack of culinary skills and the overall irrelevance of their reality content.
• Advice to the Sussexes:
  • “Go away for like five years, ten years, seven years. Let people miss me. Let the kids grow up and then re-emerge.” (Link Lauren, 10:26)
• Comparison to the Beckhams: Don’t keep dining out on your famous family name or publicly feuding. Either reconciling in private or move on independently.
• Reality TV Pitch: Tongue-in-cheek idea for a reality show with the Beckhams and Sussexes dropped on a deserted island to fend for themselves.

• Host’s Commentary:
  • Applauds Trump’s quick action and suggests the left isn’t standing up for women as effectively.
  • “Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, the left, they talked about protecting women forever...They wouldn’t even get men out of women’s sports. President Trump came in and said, ‘I’m going to do something about it.’” (14:19)

B. Trump’s Foreign Policy: Hostage Release

• Event: Trump brings home Israeli hostages on October 13, 2025.

• Cultural Critique: Argues that working-class stories from the heartland don’t get their due from Hollywood or awards shows.

B. Award Shows and Joe Rogan’s Snub

[Political Commentator]

Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren, we have to start with a family feud. Okay? This is all over the Internet, okay? It's absolutely ridiculous, but what else are we going to discuss? Okay, we're going to get into some politics later. We're going to get into the first year of the Trump administration, but we have to talk about Brooklyn Beckham. So many women have messaged me saying, what do you think about Brooklyn Beckham, Victoria Beckham, David Beckham, this entire feud that's going on? I don't really think it's a feud, but let me give you some of the details and then I will give you my take. Okay? Let me break it down slowly. Okay, so Brooklyn Beckham did a long post on his Instagram. Okay, he did one of those things where you do a long post and he says he doesn't want to reconcile with his family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. My entire life. My parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. He then goes on to say the truth always comes out, and says that his mother and father have been trying endlessly to ruin his relationship with his wife, Nicola Peltz. It hasn't stopped. My mom canceled making Nicola's dress in the 11th hour, despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her urgently to find a new dress. David and Victoria Beckham allegedly repeatedly assured and attempted to bribe Brooklyn into signing away the rights to his name before the wedding. And then the most egregious claim, the most egregious claim is that Brooklyn Beckham says that his mom, Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, she came and ruined his first dance at his wedding. Apparently, she jumped in and decided to make herself the star of the show at his wedding, which I do think is wrong, but let me tell you why. I'm kind of on team Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, okay? Number one, kids can sometimes read situations wrong, okay? Brooklyn Beckham, he's a Nepo baby. He's a spoiled little bitch brat. At this point, everything has been handed to him in his life. I'm not saying he's not a nice guy, but he went from rich parents to rich wife. He has all these fancy watches his parents have given him. I mean, this is not someone who has really ever worked or had to struggle. And so when he says that his parents have controlled his life, it's like, well, everything you have is because of your parents, Brooklyn Beckham. And so I don't really feel sorry for you. I think if your mom tried to upstage your wedding, and that's a conversation you guys could have had privately, you could have called her and said, mom, what you did was so wrong and mortifying and humiliating. But I don't know why Brooklyn Beckham decided not to do that and he decided to take to social media. I'll also say this. Having a mom like Victoria Beckham is probably iconic, okay? Be glad that your parents are ultra rich and wealthy, right? Like your parents are Victoria and David Beckham. You never had to worry about working and now you're complaining like you've really been aggrieved, right? I think this is just another Prince Harry and Meghan Markle situation. I really see this akin to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, they had it made in the shade, okay? They're part of this royal, rich, famous family. All they had to do is stay over there eating crumpets and scones. Then it wasn't good enough for them, right? So Brooklyn Beckham and his wife really remind me of Harry and Meghan the way they're saying that our family didn't understand us. They tried to ruin everything for us. But then why not admit, okay, that your last name in your family is why you're here, right? It's a double edged sword, right? Your family is the reason we know you exist. There's a reason. You have millions of dollars, but yet you want to Turn around and say that you don't like them or that your mom tried to upstage your wedding. Deal with that on a personal level, okay? Call your mom up. Talk to your mom. I don't think anything has happened that can't be reconciled or fixed. But I just worry this Brooklyn Beckham situation is another Harry and Megan 2.0. And I actually heard from some sources, they've allegedly gotten close, that they know each other, that they've hung out. So if you're hanging out with Harry and Meghan, if you're taking pointers from Harry and Meghan, that's pretty concerning. I do think David Beckham and Victoria will sit down with Brooklyn and sort of fix this situation, okay? Because this doesn't need to continue playing out in the public eye. But it just seems like a rich Nepo baby who's never had to work, has never had to do anything in his life. He's never had to struggle. He's upset because, I guess his parents tried to control the narrative. What does that even mean? Okay, Your parents tried to control the narrative. So I'm really team Nobody in this situation. I guess if I had to choose, I'd be team Victoria and David because I don't love that the child has taken their differences to social media. Now, speaking of taking things to the public, Prince Harry, right before we got on here, we also found out he's on the stand today in London. He's in court. I feel like every time we come on here, Prince Harry's in court. He doesn't look great in the court sketch. I'm gonna be honest. He does not look great in the court drawings, okay? Neither did Diddy. Neither did any of those guys. But Harry's in court because he's still suing the Daily Mail. He's still suing all of these papers. And what's interesting is these folks are so fame hungry, okay? And then when they get written about, they don't love the way they've been written about. It's like, okay, you guys can't make your mind up. You can't be happy. It's this catch 22. You want constant press, and you want to constantly be, you know, a topic of conversation. And then you're upset that these papers write about you or that they might go to some links that you find unsavory to obtain information, Right? You can't have it both ways. You can't be internationally famous, use that fame to enrich yourself, and then be upset at this at the same papers for covering You. So Prince Harry is apparently crying on the stand and saying this. This is a direct quote we have from the New York Post. They've made my wife's life an absolute misery. I think it is fundamentally wrong to have to put all of us through this again when all we were asking for is an apology and some accountability. He said on the stand while he was crying. So, Prince Harry, you're crying on the stand. In life, we don't always get what we want, right? We want friends, okay? We've all been in that situation. We want a friend, a loved one, a relative, to take accountability, to apologize. It doesn't happen, okay? You're expecting a big newspaper conglomerate to come crawling to you to apologize. It's not going to happen. You can either move on with your life. Hey, move on with your life. Try to find some happiness. Or live in the past. And I think Prince Harry keeps finding these reasons to go to London to go to court because he secretly misses being in London. So even if he's going to London for a lawsuit, I think part of him is happy to be there because he misses the British culture and he hates being at the house of Meghan. I think Prince Harry would rather travel to London to sit in a courthouse than be stuck in the asylum with her and Montecito, Okay? I just think that's the truth. And then some other bad news in Harry and Meghan world. Their show has been canceled. Season three of With Love, Meghan has been canceled by Netflix. They won't be doing any more, which I'm not shocked because nobody was watching it. Okay? That show is, like, number 5206 on the Netflix chart. So Harry and Meghan, I think they're done. Okay? Harry and Meghan. If I were you guys, your show's been canceled. You're not going to be the next Martha Stewart. Meghan. I mean, the fact that Meghan Markle had a cooking show and she moved pretzels from one bag into another was crazy, okay? They literally gave her a TV show, and she moved pretzels from one bag into another. Or she was, like, making rainbow fruit bladders, okay? She could barely cook. Okay? Taking cooking lessons from her is like taking driver's ed from Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder, right? Like, Meghan Markle couldn't do jack in the kitchen, okay? So Meghan Markle, her cooking show has been canceled. No one needs to see her making arts and crafts anymore. I think they need to go away, okay? They're oversaturated. If I were Harry and Megan this is my advice. I would go away for like five years, 10 years, seven years. Let people miss me. Let the kids grow up and then re. Emerge, right? Reemerge. And people have had some time to forget how insufferable you are and then come up with something decent. You know, come up with something good and decent and entertaining. But they keep trying to drive home this cooking show or that she's a homemaker. And then Harry's this, go away, okay? Go away for a little bit. Give us a respite, give us a reprieve. Maybe try and go beg the royal family to take you back, though I don't think they should and I don't think they will. But I think Harry and Megan, they need to take some time off. Enough with the lawsuits. Enough with the reality shows. Take some time and chill. So I'm not shocked, okay? I'm not shocked that Netflix has canceled her show. I don't think we'll be seeing her on Netflix probably ever again. I bet you guys they put so much money into the show and then no one tuned in to watch it that it was just not a good return on investment. And I'm going to tie it back in to Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz and Victoria and David. If you guys want to go out on your own, go out on your own, okay? Brooklyn Beckham and your wife, Harry and Megan, go out there, but don't continue to dine out on your family's name. Don't continue smearing your family. Don't continue fighting in the press with your family. Either reconcile in private or go out on your own, okay? All of us, you, me, anybody watching this in the comments. We have family stuff of our own. We have our own family stuff. We don't need constant. We don't need to hear about your petty arguments in your mansion. You know what I'm saying? We all have our own family things going on. And so Harry and Megan, Brooklyn Beckham, you guys maybe can go live together. We can do like an episode of Survivor where Harry and Megan and Brooklyn Beckham have to go live on an island, fend for themselves. I would love to see them go, like one day without a personal trainer, security, chef, chauffeurs, drivers, million dollar watches. That's what we should do. Take the Beckham kids and Harry and Meghan, put them on an island and say goodbye. We'll do Big Brother. See if you can survive a week. Whoever comes out on top, okay? You can continue living in Hollywood. But other than that, we don't need to see you guys for a long time. When your business is growing fast, order fulfillment can make or break success.

That's shipstation.com code link shipstation.com code link now, something else we have to discuss. It's officially been one year of the Trump administration. Let me tell you guys, this past year, it's gone by in an instant. It's also felt like a lifetime. So much has happened. I mean, feels like the inauguration was yesterday. I mean, we still have three years left, but it feels like the inauguration was yesterday because President Trump is going to do more in a year than anybody else is going to do in like eight years. Okay? So President Trump did more in the first month than any other president has probably done in their entire terms. So I want to go through some of the highlights and tell you guys some of my favorite moments from the past year. And I have to start off, I have to start off, you guys. My favorite moment, okay, right at the beginning of 2025 was when President Trump signed the executive order banning men from women's sports. And I've talked about it all the time. I think it's going to go down in history. We don't talk about it enough. Okay? Protecting women. He signed the order. He was surrounded by young women athletes, all different walks of life. That is what we need to see, okay? Protecting women. Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, the left, they talked about protecting women forever. They said, we're going to defend women and we love women's rights and female empowerment. They wouldn't even get men out of women's sports. President Trump came in and said, you know what? I'm going to do something about it, and I'm going to do something like, in the first month, okay, in the first month or two. And so let me read you a little bit about exactly what it was. So it was February 5th. It was an executive order titled Keeping Men out of Women's Sports. Very simple. And I also want to play you guys a clip of Riley Gaines discussing this.

[Walmart Wellness Event Promoter]

What we saw today is in total contrast with the treatment that we as women have received for the past four years. Me personally fighting for this issue the past three years. So I'm just overwhelmed, of course, with excitement. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. I have to kind of pinch myself that this is something that is necessary. We have to do that. A president has to take time out of this busy schedule to sign an executive order saying that. That men cannot compete in women's sports. I imagine I just think of our founding fathers and what they would think witnessing today's culture. But nonetheless, it is a big win. It is certainly a win worth celebrating, but we are not done.

[Political Commentator]

I love that. I love Riley Gaines. I love that we can try to put this issue behind us. For some reason, the left is still fighting us on this, right? For some reason, the Democrats, they still want to fight to keep men and women's sports. Gavin Newsom, Kamal Ayer, a speed Buddha judge. It'll be interesting to see. Can a Democrat in 2028, okay, a moderate Democrat in 2028 go out on the debate stage and say, you know what? I don't want men and women's sports anymore. I don't think they can say it. I think they would be crucified. Even though all of us agree, even though most of the country agrees, I don't think a Democrat could have the balls or the freedom because they don't like freedom of speech to go out there and say that. But I want to move on to another huge moment. President Trump, bringing home the hostages. Okay, President trump, this was October 13, 2025. Bringing home the Israeli hostages, obviously, who were taken on October 7th of 2023. So it's about two years. One of the most emotional days. One of the most emotional days because I love my family so much. I couldn't imagine being separated from my family, couldn't imagine what these people endured. We'll never know what they endured. Everything they went through psychologically, physically, and just the screams and the crying when they were reunited. Some of those sounds are just going to stay with me for my entire life. So that was really such a moving, moving moment because so much happens in the news cycle. We can often forget. We can often forget how much happens in a year, how much happened last week, last month. Right. But this is one of those moments that's really, really going to stay with me. And I think it's something only President Trump could do. Biden couldn't do it. No. No one else was able to bring them home. Not our former Secretary of State, Blinken, nobody. And so Trump, Rubio, Witkoff, Kushner, they were able to get this done and bring it home. And I want to play you guys a clip of President Trump discussing this. You're not a hostage anymore. Today, you're heroes. Those words could not be truer when he said, you are not hostages anymore. You guys are heroes. That could not be more of a fact. So thank you, President Trump, for bringing home the hostages. I still think about the hostages who never got to come home, whose families never got to see them again, or the ones who were brought home in caskets, who were brought home no longer with us, no longer alive. It's horrific. I still think about those families. And so it was bittersweet. I remember the day the hostages were released, being so happy for the families. And then there was this sadness and then texting my friends because so many didn't make it home. So many did not come home. And so there is sort of this bittersweet situation happening. But as long as we keep their memories alive and we make sure something like this never, ever happens again, I can sleep at night. So thank you, President Trump, for bringing them home. The next day, President Trump, he awarded Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom, posthumously. That was an incredible day. Incredible, incredible day in the White House, in the new Rose Garden patio. And so Erica Kirk was there to receive the Medal of Freedom. She looked beautiful. And, you know, on the one year of Trump's inauguration, you can't forget, we wouldn't be here probably without Charlie. Charlie was the greatest organizer of young people. He put together all these events with Turning Point. Right? So Charlie Kirk is someone who I really think needs a lot more praise and a lot more accolades. On the one year President Trump's inauguration, of course, President Trump got himself to the White House, but Charlie Kirk was very instrumental and couldn't have been his biggest supporter for 10 years, 10 plus years since he came down the escalator. And so the fact that he got the Medal of Freedom was something that was so incredible. It was so needed. And it was also a reminder. We have to give these people their kudos while they're here. Because life is so short and so precious. We have to give people their praise and their due diligence while they're around. Because we just never know in this crazy climate what is going to happen.

Now moving on to the first lady, Melania Trump. She also signed the Take It down act back on May 19th. That was also an incredible day. I always tell my young people, okay, you might think you're in love. You might think he's the guy for you. Don't send him naked pictures, okay? You might think you love this guy and you're going to be forever together, forever. And you're going to trust him. But just be very careful, okay? Firstly, Melania Trump. The fact that she's tackling this issue shows us she understands the 21st century and the issues that young people are facing, right? With revenge porn, with AI, with non consensual imagery on the Internet. And so I tell young people, take those precautions. But if you do make a mistake, if someone uses your image in a wrong way, in a non consensual way, in an illegal way, we have the Take It down act now. And so former first ladies, they might plant a garden, you know, they might go read to kids, and First Lady Melania Trump does that as well. But she's tackling these huge major issues. And I'm so happy about this. And I want to play you guys a clip of President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump discussing the Take It Down Act. With the rise of AI image generation, countless women have been harassed with deep fakes and other explicit images distributed against their will. This is the wrong. And it's just so horribly wrong. And it's a very abusive situation like in some cases people have never seen before. And today we're making it totally illegal. This legislation is a powerful step forward in our efforts to ensure that every American, especially young people, can feel better protected from their image or identity being abused through non consensual, intimate imagery of I and CII Love that. I'm so grateful to First Lady Melania Trump and the White House for championing this issue because it's not a sexy issue. It's not an easy issue for a First lady to tackle, but it's one that's so important, right? And she cares so much about young people. She has a young son. She loves her family, she loves the kids in this country. I've seen it firsthand a million times. And so the fact that First Lady Melania Trump did the Take It down act this year with her team, something for the history books, iconic for the history books. There are young people who maybe didn't even vote for President Trump who might benefit from this act someday. And I want to move on to something else. Okay? A more lighthearted, fun moment from the past year was when First Lady Melania Trump went to the UK and she was reunited with Princess Catherine. So she and Princess Catherine, back on September 18, they did this event with the Scouts. And the reason I loved it so much. The reason I love this event is that it was two world powerhouses, two strong women who've been maligned, written about, viciously mistreated, misunderstood. They came together to do something incredible. They looked beautiful doing it, but that's a whole second issue. They came together to do something so important to show young people they care, to talk about education, to talk about issues that we can bridge across the Atlantic Ocean. And Catherine is going to be the Queen of England. Right. First Lady Melania Trump. She is the first lady of the United States. Right. There's no one bigger. There's no one bigger than her on the world stage. Right. As a woman, there's no one bigger. And so she's very smart, very strong, very vigilant of all the issues that matter to young people. Catherine is so authentic and so aware of what young people need as well. She's very open about her cancer journey, her emotional health, things going on with her kids in a way that no one in the Royal family had been before. And so you put that together. I think it's such a recipe for success. It was such an incredible day. Now, the Prince and Princess of Wales are supposed to come to the United States, I believe, in July for America 250. I'm not sure all of the details yet. So we'll get to see the First Lady, Catherine, everyone together again. I'm very, very, very excited to see this partnership, how they can bridge and partner on a whole host of issues. I know the first lady took be best international in between her terms, and she continued to be best, and she's put kids through college, which she doesn't get a lot of credit for, unfortunately. But I'd love to see Catherine. Okay. Catherine and Melania come together to work on all of these issues. I'm so excited to see what this next, you know, chapter holds for them. The last clip I want to play is actually something just kind of fun. It's one of my favorite moments from the past year. For looking at the first year, this is when they went to the naval ship. Okay. And we had the Huya Navy moment. Take a look. It is an honor to be with you to celebrate the 250th year since the United States Navy was officially established. What I loved about that is number one, it was fun. She looked incredible. The guys and the girls were so excited to see her. But also, the first lady loves and respects our military. Okay. President Trump loves and respects our military. Hegseth. Peter. Hegseth loves and respects our War fighters, our men and women in uniform. And so when you show up, it seems small, right? It's like, okay, first lady's coming, the President's coming. They're going to come speak to us. Former presidents have done this. But when they show up with heart and they're there to have a good time and show respect and love and admiration, it makes people feel better about serving our country. They feel like, okay, I'm standing up for something, right? I have the support of the executive branch of government. And so I thought it was such an incredible moment, the fact that she was out there. Huya Navy. Hoo ya Navy. I loved it, okay? And I love that this White House in the, in the President and the first lady continue to show their love and respect for men and women in uniform. Because Joe Biden didn't do that, okay? Joe Biden checked his watch, checked his watch as soldiers were coming home in caskets, okay? This is not someone who had a lot of respect. Look at the Afghanistan withdrawal, okay? Joe Biden didn't know a thing about the military, okay? Look at our former Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin. Okay? A joke, a joke. So President Trump, First Lady Melania, they love our men and women in uniform. And you can tell that they have that love and respect for them as well. Because if you show up for people, they're gonna show up for you.

[Political Commentator]

Now, to finish out the show, we have to talk about one of your favorite topics. One of my mom's favorite topics, her Bible studies favorite topics. That is the show Landman with Billy Bob Thornton, John Hand made by Taylor Sheridan. Of course, who did was the show Yellowstone. So we have to talk about Landman. Okay. Landman went viral. They went viral because the young girl, she went to college at tcu, my home state, and she ran into someone with some questionable pronouns.

[Walmart Wellness Event Promoter]

So what are your pronouns? My pronouns? I hope that's pretty clear. Yeah, I don't make assumptions. You could identify as a sunflower. You know, I've been told I look like one. I use they them. You know, I've always been curious why they them, because there's just one of you, and those are plural pronouns. Just never really understood the hoopla pronouns. My name's Ainsley, and I just can't really come up with a reason why you would address me in third person in a conversation that I'm a part of. I don't care what someone's pronouns are. I, I just. I mean, using a. A plural pronoun for one person is just kind of incorrect. Says who? Well, the English language.

[Political Commentator]

Thank you. Thank you for saying it out loud. Okay, the English language, we're done with they them. Okay? I told you guys in 2025, we're done with the non binary they, them. If you can't figure out, okay, if you want to be he, she, man, woman, go do some soul searching, okay, then come back to me. But what I don't understand is you're paying all this money for college. College is very expensive. My college was so expensive, they can't even tell you the difference between a man and a woman. You don't know what gender you are, and you're here paying all this money for an education, you got to go back to the drawing board. So I love that they tackled this issue because it's very real on college campuses, you send your kids to college, they could be indoctrinated with woke ideology, gender ideology, even if it's a more conservative school, okay? And I want the girls out there to know, okay, like Ainsley, don't feel vilified, don't feel like you're wrong, don't feel like you're nasty or you're bigoted or they're going to call you transphobic because you like biological realities, okay? Because you accept that humanity has evolved in this way for a gazillion years, okay? The fact that you know the difference between a man and a woman and you don't want to play the pronoun game, people are going to attack you. They're going to say you're bigoted, you're small minded. Don't let them attack you. You have a whole army of people here online and friends and family who support you and big influencers and podcasters. So I love that Ainsley stuck to her guns. She said, this is not proper English. This is not proper English. I don't know where you're from, but I'm not going to say they went to the store. Like, it just isn't correct, okay? It's not correct. It's not right. And so I want the girls out there to know, like, Ainsley, don't allow people to bully you, okay, into not believing biological realities. Now, something else that's going on, it's not okay. Doesn't sit right with me. Billy Bob Thornton from the show Landman, he is talking about how award shows are snubbing, you know, Landman, Yellowstone, all of Taylor Sheridan's productions. And he says that he believes it's political. I do as well. I think movies and shows that showcase life between Los Angeles and New York never win awards, right? The shows on hbo, they either take place in LA or New York or Chicago. These big cities, right? But people live across the country, right? We're not all a big blue country, right? Most of it is red, okay? If you fly over the rest of the country, all these folks in Hollywood look down on the people, okay? In Michigan and Pennsylvania and Minnesota, okay? These people who can make our country run okay, they have stories that need to be told, right? The story that's being told In Landman, very real story. As someone from Texas. Right. Where do you think the oil comes from? Let's talk about infrastructure and business. But unless you're in that Hollywood elite cabal, you're probably not going to be winning any awards. And so I understand where Billy Bob Thornton is coming from, where he says that this is political because it definitely seems political. It's definitely political. The Emmys, the Golden Globes, the Oscars, they really want to award very, very woke liberal stories. And I think they need to change. I think there's a reason award shows are going down and no one cares, because the biggest show right now is Landman. Everyone's watching Landman. But then the awards, they don't want to give it their kudos, right? They don't want to give Landman kudos or the accolades that it deserves. And then also Bill Maher. Bill Maher chimed in on this very same situation because they did a podcast category, okay? The Golden Globes, they did a podcast category. Amy Poehler won, of course, because she's hosted the Golden Globes a thousand times and they love her, okay? So the Golden Globes, they love Amy Poehler. You knew she was going to win even though she started her podcast yesterday, okay? And the podcast is not a show of substance. But Bill Maher called this out. He's like, why is Joe Rogan not winning? Why is the biggest podcaster not winning? And take a look at what he said.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, I'm sure there are good shows, but whatever. It was glaring that Joe Rogan was.

[Political Commentator]

Not nominated for Best Funko.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah, I mean, it is kind of popular and, you know, it is known. He's absolutely brilliant and he's very good at what exactly? You're gonna have an inaugural podcast category, and you don't. Maybe it just. It just speaks to living in the blue sky bubble, but get out of your fucking bubble.

[Political Commentator]

You know, I want to be one of you.

[Commercial Announcer]

I am one of you.

[Political Commentator]

But you're just so hard to defend.

[Commercial Announcer]

Because you're just such a fucking smug assholes.

[Political Commentator]

Thank you, Bill Maher. Like I've said, if these award shows don't want to give awards to the people who actually deserve it, we'll stop tuning in. We don't care. We don't need to watch these award shows. But Joe Rogan, okay, biggest podcast on Earth, there's no reason he should not have won the best podcast. You're telling me Amy Poehler, who just started yesterday, deserves the biggest podcast, but these people, they want to live in their blue bubble. And I think it's a protective mechanism. When I think about it. I think they need this coddling and this protection because they don't want to encounter the truth. They don't want to encounter people with opposing views or ideas or opinions. These folks in LA and New York who live in these sort of elite bubbles, they don't want to encounter things sort of like bubble boy, you know, they don't want to encounter something that might be different. They don't want to turn on a Joe Rogan and hear something contrary. They don't want to hear, oh, maybe what we were told during COVID wasn't right. What we've been told about food isn't correct. What we're getting on CNN isn't correct. They don't want to hear any of that. So they want to stay sort of in their coddled little bubbles. And I think that's why they stay there in these blue little elite enclaves. And they don't give people like Joe Rogan their credit. All right, my friends, thanks so much for tuning in to Spot on with Link. Lauren will be back on Monday. I can't wait to read your comments. You guys know I read all of your comments and I respond and I like them and I see what you're saying and what you're interested in. I will see you on social media. Have an amazing rest of the week. See you guys Monday. Bye.
