Foreign welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren I could not be more excited for this episode. Somehow it's Wednesday and everybody is already cracking out. And I'm not just talking about Hunter Biden. Okay, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Their career keeps spiraling downward into the doldrums. Lauren Sanchez she's back in the news. Kris Jenner she's also back in the news because her plastic surgery is finally settling. We'll be tracking her plastic surgery as it settles over time, but we have to get into that explosive Hunter Biden interview later on in the show. We have to talk about Colbert and all of the breaking news. We also have Sean Spicer coming up later in the show. He's the former White House Press Secretary. He's also on the Naval Academy board. He's been around in D.C. for a long time. He knows everybody and has a ton of genius. Incredible insight. I could not be more excited to talk to Sean Spicer. But without further ado, let's get into the show. When elites tell you what's right and who's wrong, it's rarely about 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. Barely covered by mainstream outlets, Ground News flagged it in their Blind Spot feed, which highlights stories the media skips. If we want to fight back against hypocrisy, we need tools that show the full picture.

Well, my friends, we have to start off with our royal roundup. And it's not looking good for these two little hucksters over in Montecito. Okay? The Duke and Duchess of scam a lot. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, their scam has run dry. Okay? It's drier than the Sahara desert. Okay? It's about as dry as Meghan Markle, but we won't go there. So Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's deal with Netflix, they just announced this morning it has come to an end as we know it. This hundred million dollar deal is boom, kaput, done, okay? Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's deal with Netflix is done. Because they couldn't bring home the bacon. Okay? I think the folks at Netflix thought they're huge stars. Everyone's going to want to hear from them that little show. Love, Meghan, or whatever the hell it's called. As we told you in the last episode of Spot On, I think it was number 380something, 350something on the charts. Anything that low is not good. Okay, you're calling yourself a duchess if you're calling yourself royalty, using the term royalty loosely, okay? Meghan Markle, you should at least be in the top 100. I didn't even know there are that many shows on Netflix, that many films, that many productions. How could you be that low? How could you go that low? But we've seen her go low before. So Meghan Markle, her deal with Netflix is done as we know it. She's apparently going to just focus on her lifestyle brand. Now, they've announced this in People and in the New York Post. And People magazine is always the go to mouthpiece for the royals. Okay? Their publicist loves to work with People magazine. In my opinion. I feel they're in cahoots. But let me read you their positive spin. Let me read you their positive spin on things coming to an end. So their multi year deal with Netflix will not be renewed. That's what they say. We're not renewing. Okay? It's like when you get called in and you get fired. We're just phasing you out. Okay, guys, HR is phasing you out, so it's not getting renewed. It expires in September. And they apparently signed this hundred million dollar deal back in 2020, which feels like a lifetime ago. When I think about 2020, you guys, it feels like a fricking lifetime ago. But they are poised to sign a first look deal with Netflix when this exclusive deal ends later this year, following in the footsteps of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, whose production company, Yada Yada Yada, has a similar deal with Netflix. Let me just tell you, this is all a bunch of buffoonery, tomfoolery, and malarkey and spin to say that they're not bringing home the bacon. Because let me just tell you, if they were bringing in the views and the money for Netflix, that cash. That cash would have been there. Netflix would have been making it rain on Meghan Markle, okay? But she's not bringing home the bacon, and the show sucks. And nobody wants to see her traipse around a kitchen with her scrawny legs, you know, selling dog biscuits and jams and jellies or whatever the hell she does, okay? Nobody wants to watch it anymore. And Meghan Markle, she conned the folks at Netflix into thinking she was like the next Martha Stewart. And then she was trying to make, like, candles from Etsy or something. She was basically a girl who had a Pinterest board and thought she needed a lifestyle show, and it didn't work out for her. So, Meghan Markle, you got your ass handed to you. And Prince Harry, do I think he's gonna stay with Meghan Markle? We'll get into that maybe a little later on in the show. We might have an Ask link later on in the week. We'll get into that as well. But we also have some more royal news, which is that Prince George has turned 12. Now, you're probably wondering, why are we discussing Prince George's birthday? Is it that important? Link, Is this global news? With everything going on in the world, with President Trump's incredible trade deals and the secure border, why are we talking about Prince George's birthday turning 12 years old? I'll tell you why. It's actually important and has global implications. Okay? President Trump is visiting the UK September 17th through 19th. I could not be more excited for the state visit. Many of you have said that I need to go. Okay? I went on Air Force One to Texas, and it was an honor to travel with the President. Should I go on this UK Trip? Who knows? I would be honored to do so. I have covered the royals for years. But the reason it is important that Prince George turned 12 is that he's no longer allowed to travel in the same vehicle as his father, Prince William. Now, Prince William, he's an incredible pilot, right? He's always flying these helicopters. He's highly trained. He's done search and rescue. He's an incredible pilot. But now, unfortunately, Prince William won't get to fly with Prince George won't get to fly with his father, Prince William. But I think little George will be okay. And let me tell you why I love this role, okay? I don't think Prince William and Prince George should be in the same vehicle because God forbid, God forbid, something happens to them. Prince Harry and Meghan move up in the line of succession. Right now, Prince Harry is number five, right? Got Prince William, George, Charlotte, Louis. Prince Harry is fifth. If the top two get in some horrible accident or something happens, Harry moves up to number three. And we could end up with a Queen Meghan Markle that I don't want, okay? We cannot have Queen Meghan Markle. Maybe she could be the Queen of Soho House. Maybe she could be the queen of her little booty jean shorts that she wears. But no, she cannot be Queen of England and Queen of the Commonwealth with 2 billion people after she and her husband, Prince Harry, turned around and shanked them and accused them all of being racist. So this is why it's important that Prince George turned 12. He can no longer travel with his father for security and safety reasons in the same vehicle. But I am happy about this because I don't want a Queen Meghan and a King Prince Harry. And they don't deserve it either. Now we have to move on to Lauren Sanchez. We have an official Lauren Sanchez update. Shout out to my producer for this incredible graphic. Because we are just hootie tooty and ridiculous over here. And I love that we have a graphic. And you guys know me. I'm a little contrarian. I. I'm a little heterodoxical. I don't hate Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. Yes. Are they out of touch? Delusional, uber wealthy folks with hundreds of billions of dollars who think they can just, like, go into space for joy rides? Absolutely. But they own it. And they're like two little cartoon characters. You know, I call them Thing 1 and Thing 2. When you see Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos, they're like blowing kisses at the same time. They're waving in unison. They're in little matching outfits, and they seem madly in love. But the thing is this. Lauren Sanchez knows how to work these men, okay? You can't deny Lauren Sanchez knows how to make these men fall for her and have them eating out of the palm of her little Latina hand, okay? She knows what she is doing, and she's a pro and she's skilled. And there's this clip we uncovered. It's kind of going viral. It's just starting to take off. And it's of Lauren Sanchez interviewing Bill Clinton when she was a host on Extra. You guys know the TV show the network Extra? It's for celebrities and pop culture where Lauren Sanchez, she worked on there back in 2010. I want to play. You know this interview she had with.
- [08:39]
Sean Spicer
Bill Clinton, how did that change you, though? I mean, this is another surgery, basically, that you had to go through and the first time you changed your diet and your exercise. So, I mean, did it kind of say, okay, I need to change a few more things? They didn't really. What they said was that I had been working too hard and sleeping too little and exercising too little and I needed to do six days a week, not three on the exercise. I need to sleep a little more. So. So we know that's not going to happen. No, we do. We do. Actually. I'm so I'm exercising more my. I'm sleeping a little more every night. And I'm trying to be even more rigorous about the diet.
- [09:19]

Which means.

Sean Spicer
Which means, you know.

Link
Okay, Lauren Sanchez, she would have gone home with Bill Clinton that night. And I don't blame her. Okay. She was kind of doing the googly eyes. She was giving him that yen. What does that mean? And this and that. And there's actually more we might get into in the next episode. But the way she knows how to kind of make Bill Clinton feel important. There were a lot of comments online from women who said she knows what she is doing. Lauren Sanchez, she knows how to make these men feel like they're the center of the universe, Even if it's for five minutes. Like she cares about them. She's not trying too hard. I'll also say with Lauren Sanchez in this clip, she looks great. Lauren Sanchez, she looks nice. Okay, if we. I don't want us to do a side by side. We don't need to. We all know she has had somewhat of a transformation since she started hanging out with the Kardashians. Because like I said, at that wedding, they had the Kardashians, Lauren Sanchez, all these models. It was like a fricking Tupperware convention over in Venice at that wedding. But nonetheless, my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. But Lauren Sanchez, she knows how to make these men feel important. She knows how to do the eye contact. And even my producer and friends of mine have said this is how they used to flirt with guys at bars when they were single. Like, Lauren Sanchez, she's in the bar like T Pain. Let Me buy you a drink. Oh, that's her. Okay. She's in the bar, she's flirting. And I think Lauren Sanchez mastered how to get these powerful men to fall for her. Right? She also had her own hustle going. One thing about Lauren Sanchez that we don't talk about enough, she's smart, she always worked, she always hustled. And clearly she knew how to hustle to the top because now she's married to a man who has $200 billion in the bank and owns Amazon. So Lauren Sanchez, as much as we want to knock her, and there are many things we could knock her for. That ridiculous blue origin ride to space. And I use the word space loosely, she did know what she was. She knew how to make these men feel important, how to flirt with them, how to lean in, how to lean back. And even the body language there, you guys can dissect it for yourselves. She knows what she is doing, and she was able to ascend and ascend and ascend. And I think sometimes in society we hate on these women. Oh, she's a social climber, she's a grifter. She's using these men. So what? Nobody is using Jeff Bezos. People say Lauren Sanchez is social climbing and using Jeff Bezos. He's worth hundreds of billions of dollars and he's like a genius mastermind who owns Amazon. Okay? He clearly is not being used if he doesn't want to be. That's my thing about these women who get vilified sometimes because of, you know, maybe attaching themselves to a wealthy man or using a man to get ahead in their careers. So what? These wealthy, successful men, they're not just, you know, blindly letting this happen. They're letting this woman come in and take over their lives and kind of benefit from that. Like we've seen with Prince Harry. People want to blame Meghan Markle for everything that happened. And of course she's culpable too. She's trash. But Prince Harry, as the man who should be the alpha, he allowed her to come in and ruin his relationships with his family. He allowed her to come in and say, let's move to the United States. So people want to always attack Lauren Sanchez like she's this social climbing gold digger.
- [12:12]
Sean Spicer
So what?
- [12:13]
Link
So frickin what? She's walking around with $200 billion on her arms. Clearly she knew what she was doing. Something else she's walking around with on her arm that's gone totally viral. And you guys know I'm doing the Lauren Sanchez. You guys know I'M not a fashionista. I don't know that much about fashion. Okay. I reach out to some of my more fashionable friends for advice often. But Lauren Sanchez, she' going viral for this little tiny, teeny bag. And I feel like one thing I'm learning about fashion is if the bag is like 2 inches and itsy bitsy teeny tiny like a coin purse, it's probably worth way more. So this bag is going viral. It's this Dior rare mini bag that's worth over $15,000. There are some of them that have resold like 250k, 150k. Ridiculous, okay? Freaking ridiculous. But she was spotted at the Hotel du Cop Eden Rock in Captain Teeb Sunday dressed in a vintage open back Roberto Cavalli go. And bold shades of blue, yellow, and hot pink. And you guys know what I'm gonna say. I think I got a little bit gayer reading that. Okay? I think I actually just got a little gayer reading that she accessorized with high heeled aquazzura sandals and a rare Dior mini bag. Now this is going viral because everybody says, oh my God, this is a gross, you know, excessive display of wealth and capitalism to carry this little, itsy bitsy tiny bag. And the reason we don't have the picture on screen is because I didn't want to spend $500 on the fricking paparazzi shot. But you guys can imagine and look it up for yourselves. You know what Lauren Sanchez looks like, and now you see the bag. But people say this is just an excessive, gross display of wealth at a time when people are hurting. But Lauren Sanchez never said she was going to marry Jeff Bezos and be woman of the people. They give gazillions of dollars to charity. They have their philanthropic endeavors they're passionate about. But Lauren Sanchez just threw a fricking what? 60, $70 million wedding in Venice and shut down the city. She's not trying to be relatable here, guys. And so I kind of the fact that she owns who she is and Jeff Bezos owns who he is, and they're like little thing one and thing two traipsing around on their jets and their yachts. They're throwing foam parties on the yachts. I accept that she's not trying to pretend to be something she is not. She married a man worth $200 billion. She probably took that credit card out and was like, oh, the bag's 15k. Didn't blink once. The personal shopper probably comes in with a million dollars Worth of clothes to choose from easily nothing. So I understand people say it's a gross, excessive display of wealth, and it is, but they're not trying to be something other than they're not. They're not trying to pretend they're one of us. And they're down with the get down. Okay, it's Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. So we wish them well and we'll be tracking them. And I want to continue to do these Lauren Sanchez updates because I think she's a fascinating character. She's a woman who later in life, you know, in her 50s, was able to meet a very wealthy man, win him over. They seem to be madly in love and the relationship seems to be quite equal. So we'll be tracking this. And a lot of folks thought, well, Jeff Bezos, after McKinsey, he's going to date a 22 year old. He's going to date some, you know, bottle girl from a club. He found a woman who's pretty smart, had her own business, had been hustling, did they kind of meet having an affair? Not ideal, but we'll be tracking Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. So we wish you guys well. Last but not least, before we go and pay some bills and go to break, I just want to mention the fact that Kris Jenner also continues going viral because her plastic surgery is settling. You guys remember when we first started this podcast maybe what, 20, 21 episodes ago, we talked about the fact that Kris Jenner had this major transformation. She even named her plastic surgeon in New York City, which is rare. She's like, this is who I went to. This is what I had done. And now she's posting these pictures that are still edited. Here's the thing with the Kardashians. They have full hair, makeup, plastic surgery, and then their pictures are also highly edited. But Kris Jenner, she's aging in reverse. I don't know if she's like feeding on. I was gonna make a really bad joke, but the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder. So she's aging in reverse. Her plastic surgery is settling. I feel like we almost need a calendar up in the stor studio of like days until Kris Jenner's surgery is healed. Because plastic surgeons, they always say, oh, it's like six months to a year until you really see the results. It could take two years for everything to settle. We need sort of like a countdown calendar, almost like the debt clock. You know how we have like the debt clock in the country? Like we're $36 trillion in debt. $37 trillion in debt. It can be sort of a clock counting down until Kris Jenner's plastic surgery settles. So we wish Kris Jenner well. I think she's what, 70 years old, 69 years old. She looks great. And it just goes to show you, you're not ugly. You just don't have the budget. Kris Jenner and Bell Hadid and all these rich celebrities have. Actually, I was thinking about that the other day. It's like, you're actually not bad looking. You just don't have a million dollars to spend going under the knife for 12 hours to come out with a total facial transplant like the Kardashians. So I love all of you. And the last thing I want to address also is this. In the last episode, we were talking about the Coldplay couple, and I made some jokes about the woman at the Coldplay concert having 6 inches of roots and she has gray roots. And oh my God, she was caught at the concert in high definition with gray roots. So many women said, oh, my God, Link, you can't. That's ageist. I have gray hair. I have gray roots. I wasn't even thinking age. I just want to let you guys know I make jokes about roots all the time because I have to maintain too, okay? As y' all know, I love everyone from 18 to 98 to 108. It's come one, come all to the Halloween ball on my show. When I said she was caught with gray roots, oh, no, I was making a joke about roots. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with age. But once again, if you're gonna get caught cheating at the Coldplay concert, you better look good. And shout out to all the old fol watching us. Like I say, I am big in the nursing homes I used to go when I was in high school and play piano and sing at the nursing homes in Dallas. So shout out to all the old people. I hate that society sloughs you off. You're welcome on my page. And I did not mean anything negative about the gray roots in age. I just meant because I know a thing or two about roots. Now we're gonna go pay some bills and we'll be right back. We need to make America healthy again. And that starts with what we put in our own bodies.

One real food choice at a time. Well, my friends, it's time to crown utter calamity of the week, which goes to none other than Hunter Biden this week. I mean, he's such a calamity, but he's also making some pretty decent points because, you know, a broken clock is right twice a day. But I had to have a friend come in to react to this explosive Hunter Biden interview. And today we have none other than former White House press secretary, the host of the Sean Spicer show. He's also on the Naval Academy board. This man has like a thousand jobs. He's on two way. Welcome. Our friend, Sean Spicer. How are you doing, Sean?
- [19:48]
Sean Spicer
Well, thanks for having me, Link. I, I. Luckily I was about to take an Ambien and, and I don't know what stopped me, but I thought to myself, actually, you know what? Hunter Biden, the warning. I realized when he said that his dad's poor performance in that debate was because he took an Ambien. I thought to myself, you know what? I'm gonna stop taking Ambien before big moments. And I don't know why I would think that. I mean, but again, I appreciate Hunter's PSA on this because it just dawned on me that, you know what? Had it not been for him, I would have taken an Ambien in the middle of the day right before a big interview. I kind of owe it to him now. I want to thank him for, you know, for alerting me to these things that I always thought that Joe Biden just had lost it. He has mental acuity. Was in decline. And now I realize, Link, and I don't. I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't know how I missed this. I thought to myself, you know what? One possibility is that he took an Ambien right before the debate. And I gotta be honest with you. I know when to admit that I made a mistake. And I didn't see that. I just. I ruled it out. And that's on me. That is on me. I should not have ruled it out.
- [21:03]
Link
No admitting jumpers jumped to conclusions.
- [21:05]
Sean Spicer
Look, I'm a big enough man. I jumped to conclusions. I thought, okay, he's in his 80s. It's probably mental decline. But then I heard Hunter, and I thought, how did I miss the distinct possibility that right before a very large debate, you take an Ambien on me?
- [21:22]
Link
No. When you look at the Biden family and everything they have going on, I feel like Ambien is quite innocuous. When you look at what Hunter was up to and so of the other family members, I feel like Ambien is fine. But we actually have a clip. Let's play the clip of the Ambien and then let's discuss it even more.
- [21:35]
Sean Spicer
I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world, basically. And the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times.
- [21:42]
Link
Yeah.
- [21:43]
Sean Spicer
He's 81 years old. He's tired as shit. Give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights.
- [21:51]
Link
I just want to know, was his doctor Conrad Murray, like, with Michael Jackson and the Propofol, like, why are you giving him Ambien before the biggest moment of his. His career when he has to prove himself? Are you even buying this, Sean? On a real note, are you buying this excuse, or is this just some cooked up thing?
- [22:08]
Sean Spicer
All right, you want the serious answer?
- [22:10]
Link
Yes.
- [22:11]
Sean Spicer
Okay. So you saw this with President Trump, with President Biden and all presidents, they do a physical. And during that physical, the White House will release key medical information, their resting heart rate, their cholesterol, and the drugs that they're on. We did that when I was press secretary for President Trump, and he continues to this day. That's normal. So on a very serious note, if the President, United States is taking a prescription drug, and I know some people will say, what's the big deal? Why do you. Well, because either they lied to us about his medical history and record, or Hunter's lying equal. You know, I don't know. I Mean, but, but I, on a serious mental note, so that's number one. Why, why wasn't this ever disclosed? Because they do disclose all the drugs that they're on and they'll explain them. You know, he takes Ambien from time to time. I've, I've had a prescription for ambien for like 10 years now. I can't tell you the last time I took it, but if you ask for my medical history, they'd say, you know, he's got active prescriptions for the following. Again, I can't tell you the last time I actually took it, but it would be part of my medical record that would be released and they didn't. And so why. Secondly, to your point, and I know we were making fun of this, but like, if you, if you have a big day ahead of you, why would your doctor do that to you? Right? And I'm being serious. So again, if we just stop making fun for a second, which, again, it's hard and it could last for hours. There are serious medical questions that aren't being asked because again, it doesn't, it doesn't, they don't want to, no one really wants to get to the, to the answer. Right. And that's the, the bigger problem here is that we continue to be gaslit and lied to. And yet it's like, you know, no one has the interest because with my not. I mean, I have, like, I took first aid as a boy scout, so that's my entire medical training. And I can ask serious medical questions that I think most people would ask. And yet not one reporter says what I just said, which is, how come you never disclosed this? Why would you do that on the day of. Right. So again, I get the messenger is Hunter Biden. But then at some point you have to say, okay, well, Hunter Biden gave this interview today and it was full of lies. I mean, that's what the media would say to me all the time is, oh, that was a lie and you misled and whatever. So either we're. He's misleading, which is obviously very possible, and he's a, you know, a massive liar, or there are bigger medical questions, but it's one of the two.
- [24:46]
Link
Well, I remember some of the messaging even before Kamala came into the race when it was like, Joe Biden versus President Trump in the primary, all of this, the messaging often was like, who do you want in the middle of a crisis? Do you want President Trump, who's reactive and who's hot headed and this and that? Or do you want Joe Biden who can get down to the situation room at 3am and handle a crisis. I don't think he could get down there at 3am in a crisis to the Situation Room if he's taking Ambien all the time, Sean. So I do think it's issue that Joe Biden was basically non compos mentis and then they're giving him Ambien on a regular basis. If they're giving him Ambien before a big night like this, imagine what they're doing on the nights he has off that he's just chilling. I don't know, but it's pretty consistent.
- [25:23]
Sean Spicer
But link, hold on. I don't want to just I want to stop for a second and under. People understand the significance of what you're saying. If you're on Ambien and a decision happens. And again with President United States, you remember there was that famous Hillary Clinton, Adam, at 2:00am phone call and the president United States is on Ambien. No, no, it's serious, though.
- [25:46]
Link
It is serious. Mr. President dodged the bullet.
- [25:49]
Sean Spicer
There's a bombing, there's a natural incident. There's an issue that needs your and he's on Ambien. Do you want him reacting? So again, I know nobody wants to ask the tough questions because he's one of them, but there are serious medical questions. How often did you prescribe the Ambien because you don't want the president of the United States making a decision about national security or response when they're not able to make a decision. And frankly, no one is. So it's not even Joe Biden and his mental decline. If Donald Trump was taking Ambien two nights a week right now, you'd say, hey, we should make sure the vice president stays up on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And yet there's something after all of this that went, that happened happened, the idea that the media doesn't like I would. They're not even faking it. They're not even saying, God, we blew it. Jake Tapper just made a ton of money offline that they, you know, on his mental decline. And yet they still do it.

Why?
- [26:49]
Sean Spicer
Why? If, if you're a reporter, you go, gosh, we kind of got caught like faking it last cycle that we pretended that we didn't know. And now you're doing it again and you're not even acting like you care.
- [27:00]
Link
No, absolutely. As soon as he brought up the ambient, I just kept thinking about those pictures from, from a few weeks ago in the situation were taking out the Iranian nuclear facilities and you saw President Trump there with the hat on. And then, you know, operation was at midnight Hammer. And I was thinking, Joe Biden on Ambien, what the hell? Who was driving this ship? You know what I'm saying? Who was in charge? Probably probably these unelected bureaucrats like Anthony Bernal and the folks around Joe Biden and others who I hope get called in and don't plead the Fifth and actually answer some questions because it is a national security emergency. And they all lied and they obfuscated and they covered for him him. And then, you know, as someone who was the White House press secretary, Karine Jean Pierre would go out there and basically say the guy was this like spry whippersnapper who was doing cartwheels in private. She said I couldn't keep up with him. That was such a lie and was not the case. And us as taxpayers deserve to know the truth. So what do you think is going to even happen from this investigation into the auto pin that Comer is doing right now?
- [27:53]
Sean Spicer
Well, as you may know, I testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the media, a role in this cover up and kind of not just the reactive, but the prospective, like what, what can we do going forward? And one of the tells that I gave them is when someone deletes 440 hard passes of independent journalists, that should be a tell that they're trying to squel squash, you know, any kind of dissenting voices in the, in the newsroom. So here's my take on this. And I think some people with legal degrees probably disagree with me on this. But there is an ongoing pattern. Now you mentioned Anthony Burnell, Jill Biden's work husband, the doctor and others taking the Fifth. And they're being asked very simple questions. Did Joe Biden pose the appropriate level of mental and physical fitness to uphold the office? Now that's an easy question, to be honest with you, because if you ask me like if I were a Biden staffer and you're not the doctor, that's a subjective question, right? I could easily say absolutely, I think so that that's you're asking me my personal opinion. My opinion is, you know, sure, blah, blah, blah. Why would you go to worry about going to jail for that? Like what, what, what are you worried that like somehow like you're have some kind of Sarbanes Oxley board of directors responsibility that you have a legal culpability? I mean like it doesn't, it doesn't. So I think we gotta watch how many more people. Take the Fifth, for example, Corinne Jean Pierre. And I've suggested this to the committee. She should be called. She made comments you alluded to. In all seriousness, if you get up there and say Joe Biden runs circles around me, which is what she said, one, either you're lying or two, she has serious health issues. Right? I mean, if Joe Biden can run circles around you can jump here, then you need to seek medical help now and get on like a MAHA routine. Get rid of the seed oils, the ultra processed foods, red dyes. But, but you have a serious problem if you can be, have circles run around you. So, right. I would, I would argue, and that's easy. You can't like, how do you plead the fifth on that one? So my point is, I think that they need to think strategically about who they call and the progression of questions that are asked to that person to make it blatantly obvious that there is a greater cover up at hand.
- [30:22]
Link
No, there's definitely a greater cover up. And maybe Karine Jean Pierre was too busy doing photo shoots with Vogue. She was doing these fashionable photo shoots out in front of the White House and in her office and she sprawled out and hanging with Anna Wintour. So maybe she should have actually spent more time doing her job and looking around at her surroundings, you know what I'm saying? It was even with, with the COVID up with the cocaine, they're acting like we have no idea who left the cocaine at the White House. That's still getting swept under the rug. They say it was found by the Situation Room, which is a small area. Okay, who is leaving cocaine out at the White House? So I still have a lot of questions.
- [30:54]
Sean Spicer
That's like the people who have questions, Link, are like the people who wondered how a coronavirus could leak out of a town that has a lab that develops a coronavirus. But here's you're in a White House with a guy who has a coke problem and you're going, I wonder who this could be.
- [31:14]
Link
But here's my thing, Sean, and I've thought a lot about this over the last year. Eighteen months since the story broke. I don't think it's hunters because I think Hunter would have finished the entire bag down to the last morsel. So I don't know if it was hunters. I don't think it was Kamala's because she would have been way more productive. She would have been more productive.
- [31:29]
Sean Spicer
You'd be a little, you'd be a little guarded being like, hey, where is it? I need to go back and get it. But I think that when, you know, maybe. Obviously, I don't think it was intentionally left. I think he dropped it or whatever.
- [31:38]
Link
Right.
- [31:38]
Sean Spicer
And then, oh, boy. How do I go get it?
- [31:40]
Link
So. So now we have lots of questions. I think everyone should be called in. Something I want to talk to you about that I'm thinking about now. I was on a show recently, and they said, it sets a bad precedent. I said, I think Jill Biden should be called in for questioning. Oh, she's the First Lady. It sets a bad precedent. That's crossing a line. But they raided Mar? A Lago, they went through Melania's drawers. How come? Jill Biden, who was running the table in meetings, sitting behind the desk on Air Force One. Why is she absolved? Why can't she be called in? Don't you think it's fine to call Jill in and ask her some questions?
- [32:10]
Sean Spicer
100%. I mean, look, look, after what happened, I mean, you alluded to this. These guys arrested, they manufactured charges against a former president and a potential future president at that time. I mean, again, whether you hate this guy with every fiber of your being. The New York case alone, he literally. The statute of limitations that expired. They conjured up a fake felony. Right. And then they told the jury, you don't even need to know the crime. Just convict the guy and we'll figure it out. Right. And. And now you go, God, it would set a horrible precedent if we interview a first Lady.
- [32:48]
Link
I mean, exactly.
- [32:50]
Sean Spicer
Come on. Like, I, I don't. I, I don't know that that's even possible anymore after what they've done. But I, I love how the default is now. Well, you can't do. And it's like you guys did. Past tense.
- [33:01]
Link
Absolutely. And it's just like with, with President Trump. The guy never had, like, a speeding ticket, parking ticket, as he would tell you, he doesn't drink alcohol, and he's, like, getting his mug shot taken. He has charges against him. He's like, what the hell did I do? I never did any of this. So I think Jill Biden should be called in for questioning because she also was pushing her husband out on stage when she knew the guy wasn't well, someone was making those decisions. And I also think, what type of woman. Okay, if you love your husband and have any respect for your man, who allows him to go out there on that debate stage and humiliate himself, but we can get into that at a later time. I want to.
- [33:33]
Sean Spicer
Can I Just say. Can I say one quick thing on this?
- [33:35]
Link
Yes, please.
- [33:36]
Sean Spicer
Because I want to make two points. Remember, when it comes to loving your family. And I say this respectfully because. But I want people to understand it because Joe Biden wants to create this image of who he is. This is the same Joe Biden and Jill Biden that didn't even acknowledge the granddaughter that they had. Right. So let's just be honest about who they are as a family. I know no one wants that image to come through after everything that's been painted. And he ran for president knowing Hunter's problems. Right. So this idea that he somehow this kind of family man, I mean, like, I'm sorry, give me a break. And the second and the bigger, broader point that I think your audience needs to understand, Link, is you're right. When you go to Joe Biden who says, God, I love my husband, like, why should. Why would I want him to run again? This all comes down to power and the grift. The second that Biden Inc. Ends, and we're seeing the consequences of that now, because suddenly we find out, shocker, Hunter's really not a good painter, is that as soon as the grift ends, the money dries up, the power dries up, and that they will do anything to stay in power. And we saw that. And that's what I think. Again, just for everybody who goes, I can't believe they let this happen. You have to understand that without power, there is no money, there is no grift, there is no nothing. And power is central to everything when it comes to the Bidens.
- [34:48]
Link
No, you are speaking our language because I talk about this all the time. They try and portray Joe as this, like, sweet Grandpa Joe from Scranton, but he didn't acknowledge his own granddaughter in Arkansas, Navy Roberts. I interviewed her mother. She's a lovely, gorgeous woman. They couldn't even put up a stocking for Christmas. They tried to erase her from history. This is not a nice guy, Joe Biden, but they've tried to make his brand Grandpa Sweet Joe, and he loves his son, even though he's a derelict. So I hear you. I absolutely hear you. And I've said for months. I said it last year as well. I think Jill Biden is going to go down in history as one of the most unlikable women in politics because of how power hungry she and Hunter were. Pushing and pushing and pushing daddy to go out there, there and embarrass himself. But looking forward to 20, 28, right? Everybody's already talking about 2028. I was on a panel with your two way co host the other day. I don't know how I ended up in the middle of that sandwich with Mark and Dan, but we were talking about Rahm Emanuel and some of these folks on the left. Who do you think some top contenders are for 2028 on the left and the Democratic ticket?
- [35:46]
Sean Spicer
Yeah. Well, the first thing I'd say to your audience, so they understand where I'm coming at this from, is you have to grade the Democratic field in 2028 on a curve. Curve. So this is not a normal field. This is a weak field. And therefore, who is a leading candidate in 2028? As I said, you have to grade out a curve to achieve that list. So I think Gavin Newsom is a top tier candidate. I think Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky, is a top tier candidate. I think Gretchen Whitmer is likely a top tier candidate. Rahm Emanuel, you name checked him. I think in theory could be as attractive to a lot of people.
- [36:23]
Link
People.
- [36:23]
Sean Spicer
I have a hard time understanding how Rahm Emanuel gets past his base. He is a guy that's that the base of the Democratic Party. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention Pete Buttigieg. I believe that Pete Buttigieg will be the nominee and then short people don't get elected and he'll lose. I say that as a short person.
- [36:40]
Link
Yes. No. I think my advice to Andy Bashir, though, stop doing fashion photo shoots with Vogue. Okay. Did not help Beto o'. Rourke.
- [36:50]
Sean Spicer
Beto o'. Rourke.
- [36:51]
Link
Beto o'.
- [36:51]
Sean Spicer
Rourke.
- [36:52]
Link
Didn't help Zelensky. Stop doing fashion photo shoots and looking like you're part of the elite Democratic literati swamp. That's my advice to you, Andy Beshear. I don't think Rahm Emanuel has a prayer. Okay. I don't know what those guys are smoking on that panel saying. Oh, Ron's got some good ideas. He looks like the embodiment of the swamp. Also, every picture of him on Google is with Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, especially young people. He's gonna look like the swamp. So I don't know who the hell is going to be the front runner. I think Gavin Newsom, because he's tall, he has a good smile, he's kind of a snake oil salesman. Even though he stands for nothing. He might have a prayer, but I don't think Pete Buttigieg makes it out of a primary. You think there's any chance Pete even ends up VP on a ticket in 2028?
- [37:32]
Sean Spicer
Oh, absolutely. Look, he checks all the boxes, right? He is. Look, say what you will about Pete Buttigieg, and frankly, on a policy standpoint, in my third book, Radical Nation, I actually, this is before, like, his whole history as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is pathetic. I mean, he controlled 66 buses. 66. And somehow he was appropriately qualified to run the Department of Transportation, oversee airways, highways and seaways. And his tenure there is pathetic. Horrible. Right. And yet. But the Democrats like him because he's. He literally fits the bill. He's, I think, you know, he's got a good look, he speaks well, smart. He's, I think, intellect academically a smart guy. He's got a good resume because he, you know, veteran, served overseas and he's gay. So I think that from a. He can get through the primaries and. And that's the key. Right. Since the one thing the people who champion a guy like Rahm Emanuel, you know, could he be formidable in terms of raising money at a general election standpoint?
- [38:37]
Link
Probably.
- [38:38]
Sean Spicer
Probably. But it's like anything else. Explain to me how you get to the World Series if you. If you don't make it to the playoffs. Right. And that's the problem that Rom has. Pete's the other way. I look at completely in the inverse, which is I think he could get the primary voters excited, but that's it.
- [38:52]
Link
Absolutely. I mean, he didn't he win the Iowa caucus when he ran in 2020? I mean, he was doing pretty well. He has a lot more name id, Right. But I think his record at DOT is going to be bad because like you said, the only experience he had had was fixing potholes in South Bend, Indiana.
- [39:06]
Sean Spicer
And then just to be clear, he wasn't even a strong mayor. Right. I mean, meaning that there's. So let's. He didn't even get that right. But, but. But what I will say is that a dot, aside from the massive policy failures and there's a ton. There wasn't an area in his purview that there wasn't a crisis. Not one. Okay. Highways, airways, seaways, not one. And he failed every time. He spent over $80 billion funneling through DEI, and which I get. He. He. In his failed presidential bid, he had a huge problem with black voters. And so I actually thought it was brilliant of him to take the job of dot because you hand out grants, you can go to big metropolitan cities where there's a huge black population and start handing out money and ingratiate yourself to the community. So it's not just about handing out a Check. You get to come in and talk about these projects and how they're going to benefit there, maybe create some jobs, et cetera. Right. Brilliant move. After all that money, he's polling at 0% with the black vote. Now remember, polls are usually plus or minus 3 to 5%. So that means he could literally be in the hole after spending $80 billion reaching out specifically to DEI type groups.
- [40:12]
Link
No, absolutely. I think the only thing that could be fun is he's probably going to throw some good parties at Camp David. I think he and Chasten will be having some good parties, but other than that, I don't think Pete has a prayer. I don't want to ever see him become president. I also think they try to couch Pete as this like moderate common sense guy. He still won't condemn men and women's sports, still won't condemn the transing of children. A lot of these things we were told were culture war issues and nobody cared about. Turns out they cared about them and it galvanized people to turn out for President Trump. So we'll have to see what happens in 2028. But I could not be more grateful that you came on the show. Sean Spicer. You are a legend and you're way too young and you look too good to be called a legend, but you know, we all love you and I have to come on YouTube.

Thank you so much. Well, my friends, we have to talk about Vandy chips now. One thing you know about me, I'm not going to promote something if I don't actually like it. I can't be bought. But Vandy chips, they're actually pretty damn good. And they keep sending us boxes with tons of bags of these chips and I'm happy they do because they're absolutely incredible. I haven't had a regular potato chip chips since they started sending us Vandy. I've also converted friends and family over to Vandy and luckily they can use my code. But let me tell you a little bit about why I love Vandy crisps. Okay? They have just three ingredients and no seed oils, just heirloom potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef tallow. Grass fed beef tallow is not just for flavor. It's packed with nutrients for your skin, brain and hormones. And I have pretty good skin. And Vandy is 100% American, made with zero compromises. You need to give Vandy a try. So go to vandycrisps.comlink and use code link for 25% off your first order. That's vandy crisps.com link thank God I don't have a lisp. And code link for 25% off your first order. Now we have to talk about Stephen Colbert, who continues spiraling. He's not taking the loss well. Okay? Take it on the chin. You got fired. You got canned. The job wasn't for you. You didn't meet the moment, okay? Go with a little bit of dignity, Go with a semblance and a shred of grace. But Stephen Colbert is not doing that. In fact, he had this rebuttal to President Trump. I don't know why he's mad at President Trump. President Trump's not the one who canceled your show. Your show got canceled because you're losing $40 million a year. But we actually have a clip of what his response was to President Trump.
- [42:37]
Sean Spicer
In a completely unrelated story on Friday, Donald Trump posted I absolutely love that Colbert Got Talent was even less than his ratings. How, how, how dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f yourself.
- [43:03]
Link
Yeah. So Stephen Colbert is clearly spiraling, not taking the loss well. I thought that was just embarrassing. That's the best you got. But when I saw the clip, I thought, okay, okay. The rich white liberals and their, you know, urban enclaves who watch Stephen Colbert, they're probably eating that up. They're probably like, oh, he showed Trump. He showed him. Ha ha ha ha ha. They probably thought it was amazing. Colbert, you look like a joke and you look like a clown. I've also heard that in New York City, protesters are assembling in front of where he films his show to demand his show be saved. Fee fi, fo fum. We want Stephen Colbert. But these folks, they show up for any. Anything, okay? They show up to like frickin protest. If you're wearing fur, they show up to any protest. It's the middle of the summer in New York City and these people clearly have the money and the means to just go stand around and protest. But what these people need to understand, this is not political, okay? I even saw Sunny Hostin on the View tried to say that somehow the Constitution might be, you know, erased because of this. No, has nothing to do with the Constitution. He has free speech. He said whatever he's wanted to say for years on this Television program. The fact is, this is a financial decision. The free market is taking the trash out and Stephen Colbert happens to be the trash this week. You can't run a show that's in a $40 million hole. You can't run a show that's losing $40 million a year. I'm here to tell you, in business, you really can't run a show that's losing 40 cents a year. You have to be turning a profit or at least breaking even. And so for the network, of course they have to let Stephen Colbert go. But these liberals aren't going to miss a chance to play the victim card. Okay? They can't miss that opportunity. But what they don't realize is also a lot of the culture has moved online and into social media and into the podcasting space. Thank you for tuning in. And they didn't evolve with the. And it's what we saw in this last election, right? President Trump and folks on the right were able to tap into podcasts and new media and the left got totally left behind because they focused on msnbc, cbs, mainstream media. And the ratings are in the gutter. So, Stephen Colbert, we wish you well. We also have also have another clip of John Stewart. He did a response. All of these, you know, late night hosts are rallying around Stephen Colbert. Okay? They're rallying around each other. Let's play this clip of Jon Stewart and what he had to say.

So first off, I apologize for all the profanity. You guys know I don't use the F word on my show, but I know how to run a business and we're not going to spend money having someone go in and spend hours bleeping out the curse words. And let me say this to Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and all of these late night television host. You look like a bunch of beta males, okay? You look like a bunch of beta male bitch boys who can't take a loss. You took a hit. Your show sucked. Nobody was watching it. You were losing millions of dollars a year. Good ridden, sayonara, goodbye, enjoy unemployment, ride off into the sunset and go live in your house in the Hamptons. We don't care. So, Stephen Colbert, we probably won't be hearing much from you because you don't really have the personality to carry a show on your own. On the intern, you needed a huge staff and all these millions of dollars even to look that good. So I Don't think you're going to have much of a prayer moving forward into the future. And I think the culture has moved on. You'll find a niche audience, a niche audience of, you know, rich liberals in New York City who want to tune in and be coddled and feel like the world's coming to an end because of President Trump. That's what they want. But I don't see a big future for you in media. Well, last but not least, we have a quick little FLOTUS update. You guys know I love the First Lady Melania Trump. I know many of you do, too. She's been so unfairly maligned by the media for years when all she wants to do is help this country with her be best campaign with the Take it Down act. She wants to raise her son Baron and live her life, okay? But Melania Trump, because she's not Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, she's not on the COVID of Vogue five times as a First lady. They're not, you know, rolling out red carpets for her and heaping, you know, praise on her with all these positive puff pieces by the New York City literati. Okay, because she happens to have an R next to her name and because she's married to a Republican. Melania Trump is unfairly maligned all the time in its discussion. But something good that might be happening that I'm very excited about, they might rename the Opera House at the Kennedy center to the First Lady Melania Trump Opera House. So let me tell you, does this seem necessary? No, it's not necessary. Do I want it? Yes. I think she should have a little something named after her. Let's name a few more things after her. Okay? She's the First Lady. She'll have been first lady for eight years. Why does Michelle Obama get everything named after her? Why does Joe Biden get all this praise when she was a horrible wife who didn't even respect her husband enough to say, honey, it's time to retire. You know what I'm saying? So I think First Lady Melania Trump, she's a legend. She's an icon, and she's stunning. Let me read you what's happening. House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee approved an amendment and a 33 to 25 vote on an annual spending bill that would rename the Opera House at the John F. Kennedy center for the Performing Arts as the First Lady Melania Trump Opera House. Now, President Trump is the honorary Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Kennedy Center. We actually have a congressman, Michael Simpson from Idaho. He had this to say. This is an excellent way to recognize her support and commitment to promoting the arts. And I could not agree with that more. The arts bring people together the way sports bring people together. You can go see a show and have Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, none of the above. All of the above under one roof. Watching Les Mis, watching a musical, watching Cats. Okay? President Trump loves Cats, as do I. Memory all alone. We can't afford the copyright, but we like the Betty Buckley version. We like the Betty Buckley version. So I think the arts bring people together. Firstly, Melania Trump, she knows how to bring people together. She has great grace, class, elegance. And as I said, she's been so unfairly maligned. So I hope that this goes through and that they rename the opera house the First Lady Melania Trump Opera House. And that concludes this episode of Spot on with Link. Lauren, thank you so much for tuning in. I feel like we really ran the gamut of topics. Okay. Politics, culture, the intersection of politics and culture. I want to hear from you guys.
