Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. A show where I'm going to break down the calamities of Hollywood, the circus of Washington D.C. and everything in between. Of course it is Labor Day, but my lovely team, we thought, you know what, why not labor a little bit on Labor Day? We'll get together, we'll go over some hot topics, have some fun with you guys. Because I know some of you are writing me over the weekend. You are hiding out from your kids. You have your kids home this weekend. You're hiding out in a back room. You, you're hiding out from your husbands. Or if you're at home alone, you just need a little bit of entertainment. Okay. A lot of people were taking the day off. I thought we have some fun stories. Let's break it down, let's have a good time. We're going to talk about Kim Kardashian. Last week we talked to you about how she was dressing her 12 year old up like a little prostitute in this like bustier and corset. So inappropriate for a 12 year old. Well, the apple can only fall so far and Kim is back with another calamitous outfit. We have to talk about the anniversary of Princess Diana's passing. Yesterday was the anniversary. 28 year old years since she left us in that horrific car crash. We'll talk about how the monarchy has changed. Prince Harry is going to the UK very soon. In the coming weeks. He might meet up with his father, King Charles, but he might have some demands. We also have to talk about Greta Thunberg, the professional activist. And last but not least, okay, we have to talk about this teacher. There is a teacher. If you've been on social media, you've seen this teacher. Her name is Ms. Williams, aka Teacher Bae, and she has gone viral for the provocative, inappropriate outfits she wears in front of her student. She has just caused a cascade of discussion and discourse online. So without further ado, let's dive right in. Well, the apple can only fall so far from the whore tree. Okay, what could we expect from North West? The daughter of Kim Kardashian when her mother walks around in this ridiculous clownery every single day? We have to just stop putting the Kardashians on a fashion pedestal. I know. None of us do that, okay? But there are millions of girls across the country who put the Kardashians up on a pedestal. Vogue magazine puts Kim on the COVID Anna Winston Tour, the liberal literati. They all love the Kardashians. But when are we just going to admit these girls look like crap? The Kardashians dress like absolute clowns and fools. Nothing fits. They look horrible. They look ridiculous. You know, it would be groundbreaking for the Kardashians to wear a pair of blue jeans and a shirt and sandals to the grocery store. That's what I want to see. But Kim is going viral for this outfit she wore for Diane von Furstenberg's awards. Okay? It was apparently the 16th annual DVF Awards in Italy. Over in Italy somewhere. Now, her outfit, if you can't see her on the screen, her outfit was a silvery gray jumpsuit from Maison Margiela, featuring an attached cape and high neckline. The draping garment, which included billowing sleeves and wide leg trousers, featured a reverse bodysuit with fabric gathered over the pants. Now, when I saw this outfit, everyone online was writing me saying, this is like a wedgie outfit. And when you see it on the Runway, the woman is also covered, okay? It's literally like she's 10 years old and she's playing around with the sheets in her parents bedroom. She's like, got sheets. She's got toilet paper. It's like a toilet paper for outfit. But when you see the wedgie, okay, Kim Kardashian. It's like this wedgie. And she's just saying, how much attention can I draw to my vagina? Kim Kardashian. Every single day she wakes up and she's like, how can I draw More attention to my private parts. That is basically what Kim Kardashian thinks every single day. So when you see the 12 year old girl, what role model does she have when mom's going out in like a wedgie outfit? Her boobs out, everything out. Literally a wedgie outfit. And when you see that on the Runway and she's all covered, it also reminded me years ago and people online reporting this out years ago, Kim Kardashian did this covered look to the Met Gala. She did this all black Balenciaga, almost demonic sort of look to the Met Gala. This is also what Kim Kardashian would look like if she, like, lived in the Middle East. This is. This is Kim Kardashian in Gaza. Okay? She has to be fully covered. This is her. I actually think Kim Kardashian. There's no in between. She's either fully covered with the sheet or she's completely naked. There is no in between. In some alternate universe, this is Kim Kardashian in the Middle east in a burqa and a hijab. Shout out to our girls in the Middle East. But no, this Kim Kardashian. We have to just stop putting her on a fashion pedestal. When are the fashion literati going to say, you know what? She actually looks like a joke. She looks like a clown. She's walking around in this, like, wedgie covered outfit. She looks horrible. She looks horrible. But they keep giving her awards because she has followers. So, Kim Kardashian, we wish you well. You know, I think it would be a good example for the girls, for her young daughters to see her in just a respectable, normal outfit. And of course, fashion is in the eye of the beholder. Like, my version of what's respectable and normal might be different from hers because I grew up in Dallas around normal human beings, like going to my church and going to school. I saw people in normal clothes. Okay, I'm in a brown sweater today. Because we're also transitioning to fall. We're transitioning to autumn. Labor. Labor Day weekend is coming to an end. So we're transitioning into some fall colors. We're transitioning into some fall colors. Okay. In a winter. Call me. A lot of thought went into this. I'm just kidding. But no, Kim Kardashian, you look terrible in your wedgie outfit. Traipsing around in stripper heels. But we gotta move on to some other things now. This next story is very important. This was going viral all over social media over the weekend. Apparently, we are in a sex Recession, okay? We are in a sex recession nationwide. Apparently people aren't having as much fun as they used to. I blame technology. I blame the phones. I blame the computers, all the social media. It's supposed to be connecting us, yet so many people are alone. We have an epidemic of loneliness in this country. People don't know how to connect. They don't know how to make the first move. They don't know how to do a date because they've got their heads down in their phones all the time. And some people think that's a relationship. They think, okay, I'm on the phone all day texting, texting, texting, texting. No, what about some good old fashioned FaceTime? And I'm not talking about the iPhone FaceTime. I'm talking about real FaceTime. We have a chart we'll put up on the screen. We are really in a sex recession. Okay? Let me tell you this. This is for adults 18 to 64 reporting weekly sex, dropping from 55% in 1990 to 37% in 2024. Young adults are actually most affected, which means shout out to all the old people, shout out to the seniors, shout out to the baby boomers. Apparently y' all are still getting down and dirty and footloose and fancy free and knocking boots. Okay? Apparently something's going on with y'. All. And I know as someone who used to go visit my grandfather at the nursing home, I used to go sing and play piano at the N homes. They are probably having more romance, if you know what I mean, than anybody else on earth. Okay? Not to get tmi. I remember walking into my grandfather's little apartment at the nursing home and he had KY jelly. Okay? So these old people. These old people are having a lot more fun than these youngins out in the streets, okay? Younger generations are having less sex than older generations. The cause? A decline in steady partnering, especially in marriage. Because partnered adults have the most consistent sex and more young men and women are flying solo. The share of young adults who are having regular sex keeps falling. Oh, my God. I didn't work this hard for my SAT. This is getting a little complicated in here. Between 1990 and 2024, US marriage rates also declined significantly, with fewer people getting married. And at older ages, the number of marriages fell from 62.8% in 1990 to 54%, down about 9%. Okay? From 1990 to 2024, we are down 9% on the marriage front. I think part of this is so many of these girls on the left are like, you know, What? We're focusing on our career. We're freezing our eggs. We don't need a man. Screw you. We hate men, okay? We're going to go listen to Taylor Swift's new album. That is what I think part of this is. I think part of it is also economics. I think some men say I can't settle down, I can't get married till I hit some financial thresholds, till my money is good, till I have this amount in the bank. And we've gone through some hard times. We've had a pandemic. We had a recession in 08 and 09 with Obama. Things were dicey here. So I think part of it is economics. I think part of it is cultural. I think a lot of it is the technology. I'm here to tell you that technology is not bringing us closer, okay? Everybody's swiping, swiping, swiping. People aren't getting married. Now, this statistic is very interesting and this has caused a lot of discussion because it's political, it's also cultural. From 1990 to 2024, US birth rates also dropped sharply. The number of births fell from 4.16 million in 1990 to about 3.6 million in 2024, down 14%. So imagine, okay, imagine the next few decades, we're down another 14%, then another 14%. Are we just having no children whatsoever? We're having no kids in this country. We gotta have some kids, okay? If you're a common sense person, if you have good old fashioned American values, please procreate, please go make some babies and make some kids so we can populate the planet and have people to do some of these, please go and do that, okay? If you're an obnoxious liberal woke protester, I don't really need you procreating, okay? If you have like blue, blue hair and 10 nose rings right now, I'm fine with you not having kids. And something tells me that's not so much in the cards for you. But if you're a common sense adult with your feet planted firmly on the ground, okay, maybe try and find a mate, settle down and have a kid. But dating, dating is so much harder today, I think, okay, because the people are online, they're on social media, and because they grew up on social media and on the Internet, they don't really know how to converse in the way people used to. And something I've been obsessed with recently, and I keep getting them in my social media feed are these older videos, right from the 50s and the 60s about dating rules, okay? Rules men used to have to follow and women used to follow when they went on dates. Nowadays, all of that's out the window. We've got hookup culture. Nobody really cares. Chivalry is not dying. You know, if you can find a chivalrous man, that is like finding a Dasani water bottle in the middle of the Sahara desert. Okay? But there are some of these dating rules, right? Like, no kissing on the first date. The guy comes and gets you at the door. He brings you flowers. He opens the car door. Some of these girls, I'm here to tell you, I see these girls on social media, they're settling for scraps. You girls out there, you young girls in college and young girls in your 20s, 30s, some of you in your 40s, y' all are settling for the scraps, okay? When you look at dating in the 50s, the guys are bringing the girls flowers, knocking on the door, opening the car door. They have decorum. Some of these girls are out here, like, trying to get a text back from a guy. Is he gonna text me back? Is he gonna text me back? If you have to sit around wondering if a guy is going to take three seconds to text you back, sweetheart, that is a little beta male, and that is not the person for you. I remember years ago in New York, I was out with some friends, and we were, like, driving down 6th Avenue. My friend yelled for the taxi driver to stop, okay? This is a girlfriend of mine. She's like, stop, stop. Stop the car. Out of the car. Like, where are you going? You need to get out of the car. She runs off to some random apartment building over on the other side of the street. And she's ringing the buzzer. She's like, I have to get to this guy's apartment because he's going to fall asleep. He's going to fall asleep if I don't get there in time. You're worried the guy is going to fall asleep and you're showing up at his apartment in the middle of the night. If a guy's not going to stay awake for you, sweetheart, you probably shouldn't be jumping out of cabs, rushing through the street. I'm like, you're sitting here going, oh, my God, the guy's going to fall asleep if I don't go over there quickly enough. Sweetheart, back in the 50s, we just had those dating rules. The guys were showing up with flowers, okay? And I know we've got this generation. I can buy myself flowers. But listen, listen, it is nice to have a Man who asks you out, who plans a date, who is an alpha, who comes on strong, okay? That is probably the best way to get a woman's attention these days. Come at him and make a plan. Ask them out. Point blank. None of this dancing and pussyfooting around. Okay, now we have some more clips. This is a clip called what to say at the door. And this is an old dating instruction video. I want to take a look at this one.
- [13:00]
E
Well, here it is, the dance night. Bill is well groomed. That's the first step. His next problem is what to say.
- [13:10]
C
When he gets to Helen's door. Hi, Helen. Gee, you look nice. Thank you. Do you like my new dress? Yeah. Come on in.
- [13:18]
E
That was a natural.
- [13:20]
C
Take me back, okay? Take me back. I am here to tell you, when I look at the statistics, I look at these statistics, we're at a sex recession, okay? We're in a sex recession, apparently, across the country, according to these scientists. When I look at these statistics and then I see the social media we have these days. Take me back. Oh, I would have just swept. Okay? I would have swept in the 50s. Okay? I've got the gifted gab. I can put together an outfit. I can knock on the door. Listen, listen, take me back. Because that looked like way better than dating today, okay? And I think a lot of the women would agree it'd be nice to have a guy get dressed up and care about how he looks, okay? Nowadays, guys kind of walk around real slovenly and they look like slobs and they think it's cool to be a slob. But no. Take us back. Take us back. Some things were way better back then. And somehow, lo and behold, lo and behold, when people just had one landline they might have to share with a bunch of roommates and girlfriends and a whole family. No texting, no Internet. People still manage to get laid. They still manage to have a good time. Now we have another clip. This is called how to Stay and Budget on a Date. Let's look at this one, you guys.
- [14:31]
E
Here's something important for you fellows. A way to indicate how much you can afford to spend. How would you like this hamburger deluxe? I've had it before and it's pretty good. The thing for Alice to do is check the price of the hamburger deluxe. That may not be what she wants, but it gives her a guide to about how much Danny wants to spend.
- [14:56]
C
I think I'll have a chicken salad sandwich.
- [14:59]
E
Watch. It's Danny who gives both orders to the waitress. We'll have a Chicken salad sandwich and a hamburger deluxe and two glasses of milk, please.
- [15:10]
C
I will say it again. Take me back, put me in a time machine. First off, when you look at the prices. When you look at the prices on that video, it's like $0.40, $0.55, $0.65. If you go to get a cheeseburger today. If you take someone out on a date today, you could easily spend $100 to get a cheeseburger and fries. Now, at a decent restaurant, it could be 29.99. It could be 30 bucks. And then if your date gets a drink and you get a drink, you're racking up a hundred bucks to do dinner and a movie. Now, is so expensive for a lot of these young people. But I will say this, okay? Controversial take, controversial take. When you look at that video, notice, not once did the woman think, I might have to pay would I have to split the bill. I think if you're a man with any sort of gumption, if you're an alpha male at all and chivalrous in any way, shape or form, you gotta pay. You gotta pay. On a first date, there is nothing that is more of a turnoff. Okay, ladies, I know you agree with me. There's nothing more. There's nothing that turns you off more than going on a date and the guy being like, oh, should we split the bill? Should we split the bill? Do you want to pay this time? Do I want to pay this? No, no, no, no, no, no. For those first few dates, I think the man should pay, okay? If you want to show that you're a provider, that you can take care of your household and secure your homeland, you need to pay for the first date, okay? If I go out with a guy and he wants me to split a date or split the bill, he better be bringing something else to the table, okay? If a guy tries to split the bill with me on a date, I would rather just pay, okay? I would rather just pay. I'm an adult, okay? I work hard. I would rather just pay than split the bill and be going, like, are you gonna leave? Like, 18%? Are you gonna leave? What are you putting down for tip? I don't want to do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I hear from some of these girls, okay, I have right now 36,000 unread DMs on my phone, okay? I will never get to them, but I love you guys. I'm slowly working my way through. I get thousands of messages from these young girls who tell me about their dates and how horrible it went. So many women tell me, the guy tries to split the bill. The guy tries to split the bill. I think that is a no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Early on, okay? If you want to win this girl over, show him who you are, you should pay. And that means you got to choose a restaurant that you know you can afford, right? If you know you can't afford some fancy, fancy, fancy restaurant, girls don't care, okay? I think a lot of guys think, oh, my God, to win this girl over, I have to shower her with gifts and all this money and this and that. No, no, no, no, no. The girl doesn't actually care. But take her to a decent restaurant and pay the bill. Pay the bill the first time, okay? If you want to show that you can be a father and a husband and a provider, you got to pay the bill. And I know the feminists are going to be in the comments like, oh, what's wrong? It's 2025. Listen, listen. You guys can go be feminist after, like, the third or fourth date. Maybe when you move into a house, let's say you both work, you can provide in some other ways, but if the man can't buy you dinner on those first few dates, that is a problem. I remember on a date years ago, it's Labor Day, y'. All. We're just sitting here. We're having a chat. I remember I went on a date years ago in New York with this guy who was older. He spent the whole day telling me how his investments had done so well, how he'd just been so successful in business. And I'm like, 21, okay? He's telling me, like, he had this, you know, investment property and this and his stocks and his bonds, and everything's going great. The bill comes, he looks me dead in the eyes. So should we split it? Hold on. Where are the cameras? Where's Ashton Kutcher? Where's John Quinones? What would you do, bitch? What? Literally spent two hours telling me how successful he is, how wealthy he is. His business is going great. Hey, are we gonna split the bill? No, no, no, we're not. I'm about to split and get out of here. So, no, I did split the bill. Did he ever get a date from me again? No, he did not for a myriad of other reasons, but he did not get another date from me ever again. Okay? When he wanted me to go to the UK and stay in an apartment with, like, eight of his friends, that's when I thought Maybe your finances aren't as amazing as you purport them to be. So all in all, in conclusion, the thesis of this segment is we're in a sex recession. People aren't having babies, they're not getting married. We need to populate the planet. We also dating was way better back in the 50s and 60s, before all of this technology. Okay, before all of this technology, and I will say this, okay, We've had open borders the last four years under Joe Biden, okay? We've been really importing the third world, not to be dramatic, we've been importing the third world. If you want to compete with that, all of you folks are going to have to start having kids. And you know who I'm talking to? I'm looking into the camera, right? If you've got conservative, all American values, you guys have got to start having some kids and raising your kids. Otherwise you might be overtaken by these left wing radicals. That's all I'm saying. Let's move on. Well, my friends, it's time for a royal roundup. This would not be an episode of Spot on with Link Lauren if we did not do a royal roundup. We have to start with some Sadder News. Yesterday, August 31st was the 28th anniversary of Princess Diana's passing. Princess Diana, there will never be another like Princess Diana. And I had so many women writing to me on social media and men too, saying, I remember where I was. I remember what I was watching on the television. I remember sitting glued to the television set. Notice I use the word television set properly. Okay, for all you 90s folks, I was glued to the television set watching, is she gonna live? What's happened with the car crash? What's transpired so horrific and so all I wanted to say is I can't believe it's the 28th anniversary of Princess Diana's passing. There really will never be someone like her. You cannot imitate someone with her class, her elegance and her star power. We really just don't have huge superstars anymore. Princess Diana to me was one of the last big stars on Earth. And I know some of you guys are across the political spectrum. I think President Trump is one of the last few superstars we have on planet Earth. I think Princess Diana, I think some folks say Taylor Swift is a huge star. It doesn't come close to something about the charisma a Princess Diana and some of these big stars that you just can't imitate with today's folks, okay, who are in the public eye and so Princess Diana, may she rest in peace. It's the 28th anniversary. And I also have to mention that her brother. Her brother took flowers to her burial site. On the 28th anniversary of her death as well. So he took flowers to her burial site over the weekend. I thought that was nice. Many people remember the eulogy he gave at her funeral. And, of course, we had Elton John performing at her funeral. So all in all, Princess Diana, may you rest in peace. You are a legend and an icon. And I know so many of you are going to comment and say, I remember where I was. This is my memory of Princess Diana. And just so philanthropic. Cared so much about people, cared so much about folks who were downtrodden, down on their luck, who just needed a break. And Princess Diana was always there to reach out for them. Visiting hospitals, walking across landmines. So rest in peace, Princess Diana. But it's something I think Princess Diana would really be saddened by. Is how the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry has become fractured. Okay. Prince William and Prince Har were close. They were bosom buddies. They loved each other. Princess Diana, I think she would be appalled at the relationship. And I think she would also be appalled at the way things have played out in the public eye. Because one thing about Princess Diana, even when she divorced Charles, she always had this reverence, this reverence for the monarchy, the crown, the queen, the commonwealth. She got married at 20 years old. Princess Diana literally married at 20 years old in front of the entire world, in front of the entire world, got married and took on this role of being the future Queen of England. And so I think she would just be horrified at the way Prince Harry has done docu series. His wife is doing some bizarre cooking reality show. Where she's doing flower arrangements and traipsing around in some rented kitchen. I think Princess Diana, who knows elegance and class and royalty better than anyone, I think she's looking down appalled right now. I think she's probably like, what the hell is going on, on with these little hucksters in Montecito? So, Princess Diana, rest in peace. There's no way she would be happy. No way she would be happy about the relationship between. Between Prince Harry and Prince William. Especially the way it's played out in the public eye. And the onus of that falls on Prince Harry. Prince Harry, you did a tell all book. You put your personal business, your arguments with your brother out there for the world to consume. Okay? You went on an interview with Oprah Winfrey, entranced your family and accused them of Racism, Okay? And some folks will say, oh, Princess Diana did interviews and Princess Diana did that. She always, always respected the Queen and the crown and the institution. Something Meghan Markle does not have. And I do believe, I do believe in my heart of hearts, if Prince Harry had taken Megan Markle to meet his mother, Princess Diana, and she were still alive, oh, she would have seen that little snake oil salesman a thousand miles away, that little wannabe Kardashian, Meghan Markle. Princess Diana would have spotted her. Princess Diana would have spotted that girl and said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Okay. Washed up wannabe actress trying to purport herself as this big Hollywood star, though nobody really had ever heard of her. I think Princess Diana would have taken Harry aside and said, what are you doing? What are you doing with this, like, washed up Hollywood actress? She's lying. She doesn't want a curtsy. She's full of crap. I think Princess Diana would have seen through Meghan Markle like glass, like fresh glass that's just been wiped with Windex. Clean, pristine. I think she would have seen through to who Meghan Markle is. And I think other members of the family did as well. But they just said, you know what? This is who Prince Harry loves. This is who Prince Harry has chosen. So we're going to let him fall in love with who he's chosen. We're going to throw him a big wedding and embrace her. And we saw how that turned out. They absconded to the US and they shanked their relatives. But let's move on to the next generation, okay? The next generation of royals. They are on the up and up. And something I love about Prince George, Charlotte, Louis, William and Catherine's young children is that they seem so well adjusted. They seem like normal kids. They're laughing, sometimes they're in public throwing fits. But that's what I want to see from the kids. I don't want to see these perfect little royal babies who, you know, are just prim and proper all the time. I want to see the kids be kids. And it's so hard, so hard for them to be kids, especially in the public eye. But there's a People magazine cover, an exclusive cover called the Boy who Will Be King. And it's all about Prince George. Because imagine this kid. Imagine this kid, I believe he's 12 years old now. Imagine Prince George knowing someday he is going to be the King of England. He is going to look over a commonwealth with, I believe, 2 billion people in multiple countries all across the Globe. Imagine the weight of that on your shoulders as a young kid. We saw it with William. And so for Prince George to be so well adjusted and so happy and to be a normal kid when he goes out, it's a testament to the parents. It's a testament to Catherine, William, the family, the cousins, the relatives. Now, it's sad. It's sad that these kids over the UK don't know Archie and Lilibet over in California. But that's on those parents, okay? Those kids over there, they don't leave the compound. I don't even know if they're bathed. I don't even know if they get bathed every day, those kids over in Montecito. But let's move back to Prince George, okay? One thing that this article talks about, this exclusive in People magazine. And it's being praised, right? This is a beautiful, beautiful exclusive that they did. One thing they talk about is that William and Catherine tried to shield Prince George from his responsibilities and his lineage as long as they could. So let me read you a little about this. So it's thought that Catherine and William did not tell their oldest son of his royal fate until he was around seven years old. He really has had a period of a normal childhood. Author Robert Lacey tells People in the exclusive stories. William deliberately delayed this news until the last possible moment. It shows special care and thoughtfulness. It also tells us something about how William felt about the weight of the crown. I couldn't agree more. Of course, you have to tell the kid, because the kid's going to go to school. He's going to play with his friends. The kids are going to say, I heard you're the future king of England. I heard you're a prince. I heard your dad's the king. I think they had to tell the kid at about 7 or 8 years old, how are you not going to. How are you not going to like these celebrity kids who grow up and are like, okay, yeah, my parents are celebrities. You have to tell him. But I think waiting to the last possible moment is a testament to how they want him to have a normal childhood. So let me read you a little bit more about the People exclusive. So y' all don't have to go buy the magazine, okay? William takes his role as father of the future king as seriously as he takes his role as future king. That's key, said royal biographer Robert Hardman. His overarching priority is making sure they enjoy it rather than fear it. If George becomes heir to the throne before finishing school, William may delay any bestowal of the Prince of Wales title. They want him to focus on having freedom before giving him any royal titles. And here's the last. I imagine that when William talks to George about things like this, he uses words like destiny rather than duty. Duty has a sense of being trapped. Destiny has a sense of choice. Adds Lacey, I love this. I think it is of course his destiny. He is born to be king. But I just love that these are normal kids. I love that they're normal kids, that they give their parents a hard time in public sometimes. They don't want to sit still, they want to run around, they want to laugh, they want to be cheeky. That's what I want to see from the royal kids. Especially now with 247 social media and paparazzi and cameras. The fact that these kids are normal is a testament to the parents and I love that. So let's move on to someone else. Okay, Prince Harry. According to some royal reports, Prince Harry is set to meet King Charles in the coming weeks, marking their first in person reunion in a whopping 20 months. He will be in the UK in early September for the annual well Child Awards. And while insiders claim this royal reconciliation is within reach, Prince William has seemingly rejected his brother's invitation out of hand. I am happy to hear this. Why should Prince Williams, okay, roll out the red carpet for Harry when Harry has done nothing but crap on his family in the public eye and use them for fame and fortune and contracts, entertainment contracts in Hollywood. Why would they have a conversation with him? My thing with Prince Harry is if you let him back in, if you let Prince Harry back in, you know what he's gonna do? Spare part two, he's gonna do another book, he's gonna do a new, another docu series, he's gonna do another reality show. He's gonna tell Meghan Markle. These people, in my opinion, Harry and Meghan are the leakers. I think Harry and Meghan are leaking, leaking, leaking like a faucet. So I would not trust them. Okay, let's read you a little bit more. This palace insider said there is a feeling the time is right to men bridges. Especially after the Spare Authors press team was seen meeting up with the monarch's communications secretary for a secret discussion in London in July. While the exact details remain under wraps, insiders claim King Charles and Harry will have a simple face to face conversation rather than a grand gesture, a set piece meeting. That's the way to go. Also, I think you should have Prince Harry also check his phone. I don't trust Prince Harry, I think he would come into the meeting with a tape recorder. I think we could see Prince Harry come in secretly recording. He's going to tell Megan everything because, you know, she's got him whipped. Meghan rules that household. I just don't trust Prince Harry. I think he has shown himself to be a fraud and a liar. He's disrespected the people who love the crown and who love the monarchy. He said he wouldn't even feel safe taking his kids to London. And then we find him out knocking on doors and ringing doorbells. This is who Prince Harry is. So you can't take anything he says seriously. I think Prince Harry has some underlying issues that the family doesn't really want to come out and say. But I think we're dealing with someone who doesn't have a full deck of cards here. And I say, I love Prince Harry. I always have love for Prince Harry. He's Diana's son, okay? He's this ginger prince. He was the most eligible bachelor, right? But Prince Harry has just shown himself to be this fraud and this clown and this little beta male, this little beta male who takes all of his private arguments with his family and airs them out in public for public consumption and money. So I don't think the family should trust him. If William wants to reconcile with Harry, maybe for the sake of the kids, so they can know their cousins, I understand that. I'll respect that. I think millions of people will respect that. Blood is thicker than water. But when a family member has shown themselves to be a little scam artist and a huckster, and, you know, his wife's at home, probably, in my opinion, leaking to the press, working on another Netflix deal in her own book, I just wouldn't trust them. I just wouldn't trust those two, Harry and Megan. I would not. But now we gotta pay some bills. And after we pay some bills, we'll be back with some more Hot Topics. We gotta talk about this teacher, okay? I don't know if she thinks she's dressing for the club or the classroom, so stay tuned. Well, just like clockwork, I'm back to talk to you about masa chips. The only tortilla chips I eat. Especially later when I get together with friends. You know, it's Labor Day, but we're still laboring. I'm getting together with friends. Later, we will be having guacamole, salsa pico de gallo with my masa chips. But let me tell you why I love masa chips. You see, masa Chips are made with just three ingredients, organic corn, sea salt and 100% grass fed beef tallow. That's it. No seed oils, no junk. Masa is what chips should be, so go try them and you will taste the difference. Need to give Masa a try? Go to masachips.com link and use code link for 25% off your first order.

Well, gird your loins for this next story. This has gone viral all over the weekend. If you followed me on social media, on my personal social media, I have talked about this already because I had to get your thoughts and I wanted to read through some of your comments so I would be informed. When I came on here, I wanted to know what you guys thought, how you guys felt about Teacher bae, okay? And we'll put some stuff up on the screen. So Teacher Bae, aka Ms. Williams. She is a school teacher who wears very revealing outfits at school, okay? Women were calling them bodycon. Skin tight skirts, little waist high heels, carrying her little bag around school. She'll post videos where she's writing at the whiteboard and she's very much got her butt in front of the camera, jiggling, jiggling, jiggling. She purposely wants to be hot. She wants to be that hot teacher. And then she'll pose out in front of the school. She'll be posing out in front of the school, hanging onto the flagpole. She'll be bent over like this, showing her ass jutting her butt out. There's no reason to have your butt jutting out in front of students, okay? There is no reason to have that. Unless you want young boys to ogle at you. Unless you want young men to ogle at you, you don't need to be dressing provocatively okay. And I thought, you know, maybe I'm being prudish. Maybe I'm being, you know, too conservative and too prudish, and what am I thinking? But then I went on TikTok. There were thousands, thousands of parents making videos. And some of these videos had 10, 15, 20 million views, saying, no, no, no, no, no, no. They would not let their sons or their daughters into this classroom, especially the daughters. This is something that was pointed out to me because the daughters, they're coming into their own. They might be insecure about their bodies. They're trying to focus, and they're looking at. They're looking at the female teacher going, well, I don't look like that. That's not how I look. What's wrong with my body? When am I going to develop? When am I going to do this? And the teacher, in my opinion, in my opinion, her body has been a little bit enhanced, which is fine. But you don't need to go out of your way to dress sexually in front of the young students. Okay? Are you trying to be an influencer? Are you trying to be a teacher? That is just the crux of the situation. But so many parents are in an uproar over this because they just can't believe it. They can't believe it. And when I was reading through all the comments on my social media, I asked you guys what you thought. So many teachers and educators said, the principal, the superintendent need to do something about this. Why is the principal not doing anything? Maybe she's having some relationship with the principal. I don't know that the superintendent needs to do something as well. You have this teacher who wants to be an influencer, who shows up in provocative outfits, who seems to spend more time taking pictures in those outfits than she does actually teaching the kids. What's going on with that? Why is she spending more time doing Instagram videos and Instagram pictures? So, Ms. Williams, Ms. Williams, you got to get it together, okay? And so many other teachers have started posting videos showing what they wear to school. Most teachers do not wear revealing outfits. They don't wear high heels. They want to dress conservatively. They want to look normal. They don't want to draw attention to themselves. And there's this picture of how teachers used to dress back in the day versus how teachers dress now. And I think the problem is a lot of these young teachers, they're amazing. They're incredible. And I have so many teachers who follow me. A huge portion of my audience are school teachers. And I love you guys, but there are some Teachers who grew up watching the Kardashians and watching MTV and watching Jersey Shore and all these shows, they think that needs to carry over into the classroom. You don't need to dress like Kim Kardashian when you're coming to teach young students, okay? How are they supposed to focus on what's on the board when your ass is literally jiggling? Ass is literally jiggling in front of the class on purpose. And you know it's on purpose. I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt. It's on purpose because you have the camera up and you are recording. So all in all, I personally think Ms. Williams should be fired. I think she should be fired. She should go be an influencer, should go have that life. She should go do what she wants to do. I also would like to know, how does a teacher afford Chanel bags if they're real on a teacher salary? How are you affording Chanel and all these handbags on a teacher salary? Unless you have some side hustle. And I'm not hating the hustle, but maybe it's time to go focus on the side hustle rather than teaching, okay? And some folks, folks pointed out that on her whiteboard, she would apparently capitalize the first word, the first letter of every word, which is not proper English. So if you're not teaching the kids properly, I'd have to see their test scores and see how they're doing because we already have an education crisis in this country. But Ms. Williams, I'm curious to hear what you gu think in the audience about her outfit. And it reminded me, I had this teacher in school. I went to an all boys school, right? So the women 99% of the time dressed very boring, very boring, as they should, because you're standing in front of teenage boys all day long. But I had one teacher. I had one teacher, okay? She would dress like a dominatrix. She would wear like leather and velvet knee high heel boots, okay? Pencil skirt, boobs out, okay? All I could imagine was her with that ruler, like, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. And I think that's maybe how she kept her job, in my opinion, digging around. I think that might be how she kept her job, especially in a male dominated environment. But no, she literally dressed like a dominatrix. And you know, I love everybody. Of all different shapes, sizes and persuasion, okay? She was not the smallest woman, okay? And I remember that year in Dallas, we had all of these little earthquakes from fracking and I was like, no, it's her clumping down the know it's her clumping down the halls and her dominatrix heels. Like, we're talking massive heels with like a platform up to her knee, pencil skirt. Who wants to even wear that all day standing in front of teenage boys? But I think she must have gotten off in some way from the attention from the boys. I think she wanted to be hot. I think she cared about the teenage boys thinking she was hot. But I remember we'd be in class waiting for her to come in. You could hear her like a freaking thoroughbred coming down the hall like the tectonic plates were shifting. You know what I'm saying? She's not a small girl. The tectonic plates were shifted because she's coming down the hall all buxom with her stripper heels on, okay? I was like, is it the fracking or is it her? So I wish her well. I think she's retired now. I don't know if she's retired from her dominatrix thing, but I think she's retired from teaching, which is great. Good for her. I'm happy she retired from teaching. I remember the last day of school, she was such a bitch to me. She made some nasty comment about my career or going on with this and that or made some little comment about me not being successful. It's like a nasty comment no one wants to hear on their last day of high school ever. And the joke's on her because now I have a contract with Megyn Kelly and I'm on TV several times a week and you guys tune in to watch me. And I just flew on Air Force One with the president, so I must be doing something pretty well. And where is she? Probably still being a dominatrix. But let's move on. We got to move on to none other than Greta Thunberg. Now, Greta Thunberg, you might remember her as that professional climate activist. Wasn't it? Wasn't she the one who said, how dare you? How dare you? Okay, so Greta Little Thunberg, she is back in the news. Apparently she's going to sail to Gaza again for munitions and to bring food. But they hit bad weather and they're already turning back. Now, I couldn't focus when she was back in the news over the weekend because Greta Thunberg, she went from one bad haircut to an even worse haircut. Okay? She is doing like the bang. The non binary Bushwick Brooklyn breakdown bang. Okay? She's doing like the Lena Dunham, I just had a breakdown. Put me on meds. Bang. And I had so many, so many women writing me saying, yeah, that's the haircut. That's like the Lord Farquaad from Shrek haircut you get when you're going through a hard time. Okay, so Greta Thunberg, she's got the non binary bang going. She's trying to sail to Gaza again. It didn't work out so well for her last time. I am tired of these performative activists. I am just so tired of these people who do nothing but act, who do this performative activism. Like, what do you do all day? Who's funding you? But let me read you a little bit. Okay? So she set sail from Barcelona on Sunday as part of what activists call the largest solidarity mission in history, bringing aid supplies to Gaza. But she was forced to turn back to port after hitting stormy weather just hours into the journey. So even nature, Mother Nature was like, bitch, turn around and you look like a clown. Okay. We conducted a sea trial and then returned to port to allow the storm to pass. This meant delaying our departure to avoid risk and complications with the smaller boats. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. All in all, her little flotilla, it's trying to make it to Gaza. This is all a PR stunt. There's nothing altruistic about this. All she wants is attention for herself. All these people want is attention. They don't care. She's sure, I'm sure she has issues in her home country. That's how I feel about some of these people who go out and protest for all these other countries. We have issues here in the United States. Why don't you do anything about the issues we have here? You're worried about people on the other side of the globe. What about our issues here on the home front? And I'm so America first. I'm not going to cry for them. Argentina. I really am not going to shed a tear for any other country because we've got issues here. We've got homeless crisis. We've got veterans sleeping on the street. We're trying to take care of that. Until those folks are taken care of, you're not going to see me out crying, crying for people in countries I've never been to. And that doesn't make me heartless. I have empathy. I hate that people are dying anywhere in the world, anywhere in the crossfires of war and terror and bloodshed. But I'm just not going to be someone to go out and protest in the streets for a country I'm never going to visit, never going to go to when we've got our own issues here at home. Let's take care of our own issues, okay? Before we go float on a boat to bring food to everyone else. But last but not least, speaking of politics, Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. Last week, President Trump signed off for her to no longer have Secret Service protection that was taxpayer funded. I thought that was the right choice because why should taxpayers have to pay for this woman's Secret Service when she just did a book deal for millions of dollars? Her husband makes millions of dollars allegedly as an attorney. Why should we have to pay for her to have private security? She's not that famous. She goes out to dinner all the time. No one seems to care. She didn't even win the popular vote. She didn't win any swing states. I don't think Kamala Harris needs our protection that we should have to pay for her to have Secret Service. Call me crazy, but now. But now some other folks in California have stepped up to give her personal protection. Now, there are folks in California who've lost their homes in the wildfire. They don't know where that money is. They're all host of issues, but your tax dollars in California, you're already running a deficit of tens of billions of dollars. Now you're gonna pay for Kamala Harris. Let me read you what's going on. Former VP Kamala Harris will receive protection from the California Highway Patrol after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection. Former vice presidents usually get Secret Service protection for six months after leaving office, while ex presidents get protection for life. But before his term ended, President Biden signed an order to extend her protection beyond six months to July 2026. Imagine paying for this girl's protection until July 2026. I don't want to pay for this chick to have protection so she can go on tour with her little boy books. Okay? Gavin Newsom, who would need to sign off on such CHP protection, would not confirm this arrangement. Now, what we're talking about is California Highway Patrol is going to handle the security now for Kamala Harris. But Gavin Newsom has to sign off on it, which I imagine he will. Okay? Our office does not comment on security arrangements, said Izzy Gordon, a spokesperson for Newsom. The safety of our public officials should never be subjected to erratic, vindictive political impulses. There's no one who knows more vindictive, erratic political impulses than Gavin Newsom, okay? The guy is melting down before our eyes. He's literally having a breakdown, in my opinion. Before our eyes. But California Highway Patrol is now going to be used to protect Kamala Harris. So those are your tax dollars at work. California. Those are your tax dollars at work. I feel bad. But also, if you choose to live in a state with such failed leadership, that's kind of on you. And I have great friends in California. I know many of you are in California. So write to me and tell me what you think that your tax dol be used to protect Kamala Harris when she's making millions. Okay, I heard that she just bought some massive house that was like $20 million. Okay, I have to look into that for our next episode. But if she can certainly afford multimillion dollar homes and her husband's an attorney and she's got book deals, she can hire a couple of security guards. Why does she need California taxpayers to pay for her security? She does not. I don't know about you, but after I travel my skin is dry. That's when Peaks Radiant Skin Duo came to the rescue.
