Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link. Lauren, I am coming to you live from a hotel room in Washington D.C. i have a new microphone if you see it on screen. Okay. This is not my artwork behind me, but I'm in a hotel room because I've been in D.C. the last few days covering the president and covering the first Lady. I love to come to Washington D.C. and be in the press pool and be your eyes on the scene because I might pick up on details and nuances that maybe another reporter might not. And that reporter might be great and fantastic in their own right. But I'm going to see things that I know you guys want to hear about. Okay? I'm going to be looking at the outfits, I'm going to be looking at the interactions. Okay? Are these two people getting along? And so we're going to get to Megan Markle. Later in the show, we're going to get to Joy Reid. We're going to get to a lot of things. Okay? Jeffree star, he is this makeup mogul with crazy hair and purple and pink wigs on, but even he is not woke. So we'll be getting to all of that later in the show. But I want to start off by breaking down the dinner the other night between the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Trump and first lady Melania Trump. So I was at the White House, okay. I ran and I rented a tuxedo. Okay. I went to men's warehouse and I said I need a tuxedo and I needed pronto.

I gotta be out of here in 10 minutes. And the folks at Men's Warehouse, they said, well, where are you going that's so important that you need a tuxedo right now? I said, I'm going to the White House to cover this event as a part of the press. So I went to the White House to cover this dinner. And the reason this dinner was important, right? It wasn't just a dinner, okay? This wasn't just pomp and circumstance stands for pomp and circumstance sake, okay? This dinner was important because we just secured a trillion dollar investment from Saudi Arabia, okay? So that is going to create jobs. It's going to continue to move us further into the 21st century. So this was very important also at this dinner, okay? I took a picture and put this on X. You had Elon Musk. Elon Musk was dining there. You had Cristiano Ronaldo, you had Bill Ackman. You had other huge stars. You had Tim Cook from Apple. And all of these folks getting along and getting together and coming together because they love the United States of America and they believe in our prosperity, right? They want us to prosper into the future. And part of that is getting investments from other countries. Now, I understand there are folks who say, you know, why is he hanging out with this world leader? Why is President Trump hanging out with this one? America first. What's great for our country, okay? What's going to make America great again is having good trade deals with other countries. Right? We were so ripped off the last four years. I can't think of any investment that Joe Biden even secured. I can't think of any prominent investment that Joe Biden secured for our country or Kamala Harris. And so in order for us to prosper, we can't live in a vacuum, okay? We have to have relationships with other countries. And if the Saudi Arabians want to invest a trillion dollars here, that's great. I'm happy about it. Am I jumping on a plane and flying Saudi Arabia tomorrow? Probably not. Okay? Probably not. I don't think I can handle the heat. My hair doesn't do well in the heat. But it is nice to have a trillion dollars worth of investment. And I'm very grateful that I was included. And I'm grateful to the folks at Men's Warehouse for getting it together in 10 minutes and getting me that tuxedo that I needed. Did everything fit perfectly? No, but we made it work. So then the next morning. The next morning I got up and I went to the White House. I was a part of the traveling press pool covering first lady Melania Trump's visit to North Carolina. So she was traveling with Second Lady Usha Vance, and they were going to North Carolina to Camp Lejeune to meet with military families, students, relatives, troops, Marines, all in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays. And so I was in the press pool, and let me just tell you, okay, these two, this duo right here, First Lady Melania Trump and Second lady Usha Vance, they are unstoppable, okay? They have been so unfairly maligned by the mainstream media simply because they're conservative, because they happen to be married to Republican men who are prominent. They've been so unfairly maligned like other first ladies have not. Right? Michelle Obama, Joe Biden. They get nothing but glowing press, press and glowing coverage. But first lady Melania Trump and Usha Vance, let me tell you, they care about children in our country. They care about young people. They understand what's going on on the Internet with AI and cyber bullying and technology and these kids who are being sucked into the Internet, and they're pros. They're pros with AI and so many positives. We have the AI Presidential Challenge right now, but there are also some negatives and pitfalls. And when I was there at the school, we first started off by visiting Lejeune High School, which you're seeing. This is my video on the screen. We visited Lejeune High School, and the students gave the first and Second Lady a seminar on AI. Right. I don't use AI that much. AI wasn't around when I was in high school. It came right after I graduated. Right. AI is a huge thing now. But these students, they did a seminar on AI, and I was standing two feet from the first lady, listening to everything. Let me tell you, she was asking those young kids questions, okay, how are you using the AI in the classroom? What are the positives? What are the negatives? How is it working with the teacher? And I think these kids were taken aback and going, oh, wow. This isn't a first lady who's coming in for a photo op. She's not coming in just to look for the cameras. She didn't even look over to the cameras once she was in there to learn and to be present for these students. And she's very, very passionate about this, probably because she's a mother. She has her own son who is around this age.

I went to nyu. He goes to nyu. So I understand that she really does love these kids, and she's very passionate about it. And so to be able to travel and witness her up close and personal was such an honor and something I'm so grateful for. And I know it's, you know, odd to say you're grateful to be a part of the press, right? Because we have our First Amendment right. We have a right to ask questions. But I'm so grateful because I was making videos in my room two years ago, and now I get to cover the first lady, someone who I think has been so unfairly treated by the media. Right. And you guys know I cover First Lady Melania Trump more than anyone. And so I'm so grateful for her, to her team, for inviting me. So after we left the high school, we went to Delalio Elementary School, and these young kids, these young kids were so excited to see the First Lady. Let me just tell you, these kids were beaming. They're like, you're married to the President. You're the First Lady. Oh, my God, you're the Second Lady. They're dragging Usha Vance around by the arm. These kids were so, so happy. And let me just tell you, the first and Second lady, they were not phased, okay? These kids, they're throwing things, they're putting things on their heads. They're acting like little kids, which is what we love, right? We want them to act like little kids. They were not phased at all. Never once did First Lady Melania Trump say, I need to fix my hair. Do I need to do this? She was there for these children because she cares about them and because she cares about the next generation. And I think all of these young children, they felt that. And what really moved me and was emotional for me as I'm standing there a few feet away, a lot of these kids, they have pins on. And you can see this young girl, I took this video, she has a pin on. This signifies that a parent, or maybe both parents are deployed or overseas and might not be home for the holidays. And there are those of you watching this, you might be alone for the holidays. You might have a relative or a family member who's serving and won't be home for the holidays. Or maybe this has happened to you in years past. And so you see these little kids, you don't know what's going to happen with the holidays, if Daddy's going to be home, if Mommy's going to be home. And the first and Second lady took time to come there, not performing for the cameras, not there for a quick in and out photo op, but to show them that they love them, they're here for them, they appreciate Them. And they have such respect for the military. They have such respect for our troops. So First Lady Melania Trump, she met with the little kids. She met with the high school kids. Then we went over to see the Marines where they addressed the Marines. And these boys and girls were so excited to see the first and second lady. Of course, J.D. vance is a Marine, right? J.D. vance has served this country. And Usha Vance talked about being the wife of a Marine and the respect she has for everyone in the armed services. And so that event was just incredible. The entire room of these young men and women who signed up, who enlisted to make that ultimate sacrifice, to go out there and fight for our country and to be ready at whatever happens. They have to be prepared, right? Simper fi at a moment's notice for whatever is going to happen. And I think to be a witness to history and to be there is something that I will carry with me forever. And it's only because of the fact that you guys watch me and support me that I even get these opportunities that you watch us on here, you follow me on X and Tik Tok and Instagram, and you share my content with your friends. So I feel like when I'm there covering the first lady or covering the President or I'm on the plane, I'm a conduit for you guys, right? It's my job to be there saying, okay, what do y' all want to see? What do y' all want to know? If I get to ask a question, what do you guys want me to ask? Right? I don't work for abc. I don't work for cnn. No disrespect to them, right? But I work for you guys, and I'm there as a conduit for you. Also is such an incredible opportunity. And I want to pull up a quote also, I tweeted it. I'm going to have to find this quote real quick. You guys, there is a quote that the first lady, Melania Trump, said to the troops at Camp Lejeune. She said, military families are the quiet strength of our nation. And I love that. And there's a picture you can go see on social media. I absolutely love that. Because military families, they are the strength of our nation. For me to even sit here, for me to sit here on this camera and run my mouth and be ridiculous sometimes and over the top, and for us to have the freedoms and liberties we hold dear in the United States, it's because of people who have sacrificed for generations, right? We don't just have the First Amendment, the Second Amendment right. We have to fight to keep those things, right? We have to fight for our freedoms and fight for our liberties. And so to see her interacting with the true groups and these young men and women and the children whose parents were deployed, it was such an incredible day in politics. Politics can be full of a lot of vitriol, right? There can be a lot of negativity in politics. There can be a lot of sadness, a lot of anger, a lot of fighting. Okay? It is a blood sport. Politics is a contact sport. But the whole day, because they gave us unfettered access, never once did they say, turn off your phone, turn off the camera. We had unfettered access. The entire day was positive. And very seldom, right, when cover politics do you have a day that feels uplifting and positive, with good energy and good vibes. And there's no one more innocent than a child. And especially these children who might not see a parent for the holidays, right? They were making little turkeys and artwork and doing things, you know, for Thanksgiving, and the parent might not be home. And so the fact that the first and second lady went to go see them, and never once, never once did they worry about their hair. Never once did they check their phones. That is why I love them. And when you have someone like Michelle Obama, right? Michelle Obama is going out there and doing a tour and promoting a book about her hair, her makeup, her dresses. All Michelle Obama does is whine, bitch, and moan about how she hated being First Lady. She had to pay for her own food. She had to pay for her clothes and the clothes and the hair and the makeup. First Lady Melanie Trump has never done that. Second Lady Usha Vance has never done that. They showed up, okay, dressed modestly, ready to see these kids, ready to see the troops, never complained, and showed up for these people in our country. And it is why I absolutely have love and respect for them. And I have love and respect for you guys because I wouldn't be there without you. So I'm incredibly grateful to the First Lady's team for inviting me and including me, as new media and the clips are getting millions of views on social media. So I hope I brought something to the table, but because I know you guys want to know about the fashion. Okay, we have all the details on the fashion, so let's break it down real quick. Let me pull up my notes here. So let's start with First Lady Melania Trump's look. Okay? So her jacket was a Milano Endurance Saharan cotton twill jacket. The boots were Christian Louboutin's suede buckled ankle boots in brown. Okay, so this is what the first lady Melania Trump wore. We don't know about the pants, but you can see the pants in the video. Usha Vance, our second lady, she wore a Ralph Lauren long sleeve turtleneck tie, front dress in dark current. Her shoes were LK Bennett Saoirse block heel pumps and burgundy suede. I think I just got gayer reading that sentence. I think I got gayer. The sunglasses were Ray Bans. The earrings were Aurelia leaf earrings believed to be by an Indian designer. And this is all courtesy of Remoulade Sauce, a big account on X. So that is what they wore. And if you've seen the clips and you've seen the videos, you can see the outfits. I also wore an all brown outfit. Okay, we can put a picture up on the screen. I decided just to wear all brown. It's fall. I don't want to wear a suit and tie. We're going to the high school. We're traipsing around the high school. But it was such an incredible day and I'm so honored that I got to be there. And I have the utmost respect now for our first and second lady. And to reiterate what I said earlier, okay, I'm very judgmental, okay? I'm a very judgmental person. I get paid to judge and run my mouth, okay? So I went in there, I was like, okay, how is the first lady, right? Even when she thinks the cameras are off, how is the second lady? How are things going to go? Let me tell you the epitome of class, grace, elegance, dignity. Love this country. And the last thing I'll say, famous last words about first lady Melania Trump. She came to this country the right way. She came to this country, she immigrated, she speaks five languages, she's self made, and she's been so unfairly maligned by the media, if she had a D next to her name instead of an R, she would have been on the COVID of Vogue as first lady 20 times. Okay? That's how she is. So I love the first Lady. I can't wait to see what she does with AI AI. Education be best. Take it down. She's reuniting children who are misplaced in the Ukraine war right now. So I absolutely love, love, love our first lady and I hope to continue to cover her.

Now, we've talked about first lady Melania Trump, who is elegant and classy and the epitome of grace. Now we have to talk about the Duchess of Scamalot first. The first lady of Montecito, Meghan Markle. So, Meghan Markle, okay, my phone started blowing up last night. I had a long day, okay? I've been to North Carolina. I've been to like 20 different schools around a bunch of kids with the first lady. I get home late last night to the hotel. My phone goes crazy. I think, did a relative die? Did someone pass away? What's going on? Apparently, Meghan Markle is now on the COVID of Harper's Bazaar, okay? She's on the COVID of Harper's Bazaar art issue for November 2025. Now, let me tell you, because I'm petty and this is why you guys watch me. This is what I get paid the big bucks for. Meghan Markle. She does not look great, okay? Meghan Markle. This no makeup look is not for everyone. I know Pamela Anderson and Alicia Keys, they're trying to do the no makeup look. Meghan Markle. It's not for everybody, okay? You might need a little bit of makeup, okay? You look like the Duchess of Sun Damage sometimes, okay? You're the Southern California girl, and maybe you need some makeup. But she's on the COVID of Harper's Bazaar. I just want to give some first thoughts here. Meghan Markle, okay? She was British royalty. Meghan Markle was as high as you could get in British society and basically global society. I mean, we just saw they had a massive state dinner at Windsor Castle, okay? At Windsor with the President and Princess Catherine and the King and the first lady and the entire US Delegation. Meghan Markle could have been at that dinner, but she blew it, okay? She absolutely blew it. And now she's living in California, trying to hot jams, jellies and dog biscuits and candles that have no wicks, okay? Candles that have no wicks. So what a fall from grace. So let this be a cautionary tale to all the women. You might be looking at Meghan Markle saying, well, she's in Harper's Bazaar. She's in a big magazine, sweetie. This is a major downgrade from being British royalty, okay? British royalty. So for all the women out there, okay, you gotta know what cards you have and what cards you don't, okay? In life, we all got to know what we bring to the table. Meghan Markle, she thought she had all the cards. She thought the royal family needs us more than we need them. We're going to abscond to the U.S. they'll be begging us to come back, okay? We're going to go to the US to become big stars. Now you're doing little magazine photo shoots where you look like an utter calamity. You're going to parties with the Kardashians, hanging out with people who have sex tapes and pictures of their vags all over the Internet. That's who you are. Meghan Markle. You went from British royalty, okay, to the Kartrashians. That is who you are, okay? The royals wouldn't even need to do photo shoots like this. And then there's one photo. There's one photo in the Harper's Bazaar photo shoot where she's literally ripping off Princess Diana. We can put a side by side. She's ripping off Princess Diana and trying to channel her, which she's done for years, okay? She's always tried to dress like Princess Diana in the perfume, allegedly and everything, to try and sort of create this aura around Harry that maybe she is Princess Diana. So sent into his life to protect him, Princess Diana, she would have seen Megan Markle coming from a thousand miles away. She could have spotted this phony fake. Fame hungry from a thousand miles away, Megan Markle coming in. So this whole narrative, that Diana would have loved Megan, no, no, no, no, no, no. Even when Diana was on the outs, even when she was divorced, being chased by the paparazzi and she was crying and she was depressed, she always, always respected the monarchy, okay? Even in the BBC interview and all of her big interviews, right? She loved the queen and she respected the institution. That is something that Meghan Markle does not have. She does not have that respect for the monarchy, okay? Aretha Franklin, R E S B E C T. Okay? She didn't have respect for it. So she can try to do the crossed legs and do the photo shoot and try to emulate Princess Diana, but it is not going to work. Now, my favorite excerpt from the Harper's Bazaar is when the journalist went to the brownstone. If you've read this already, I will reiterate it for those who haven't. The journalist who was doing the story went to go interview Meghan at a brownstone in New York City, which is like a real fancy, nice apartment sort of condo, like Sarah Jessica Parker lived in in Sex and the City, okay? That outside, that exterior was a brownstone. So Meghan Markle, for some reason, she can't stay in a hotel because she's so famous, even though I think it'd be safer. That's how Kim Kardashian got robbed. She should have been in a hotel and she was in a private home. So Meghan Markle, she's staying in a brownstone. When the journalist arrives, they're the only two other people in the home. And someone has to announce Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, she's here. It's Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. How pretentious do you have to be to be introduced as Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex in a private home? Okay? And let me just say this. She is clinging to that title. She is clinging to that title so hard. She was in the UK for 18 months, okay? I have things that have been in my freezer for 18 years, okay? 18 months, and she's still calling herself the Duchess of Sussex. Like, why are we going to bow down and kiss this woman's ass? Okay? She's this wannabe duchess. Every photo, we've got clips rolling up on the screen, okay? If you're listening to us, come over to YouTube and watch. Nothing looks good. Nothing really fits. She's acting like she's this supermodel doing this no makeup look. My thing with Meghan Markle is this. I thought her brand was about UNICEF and helping women across the globe. And, you know, the kids in Africa and little Tuk Tuk and tuk tuk and all the kids she likes to go take pictures with. I thought she was about all of that. All we've seen is a woman who wants to go to Balenciaga fashion shows, party with the Kardashians and Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos. She wants to party and do photo shoots for Harper's Bazaar and wear Elegant Refinery. Where is all of the philanthropic stuff? Where are the philanthropic efforts? That's the thing with Princess Diana. She was elegant, she was beautiful. She could pull up in that revenge dress. But then she could also go do a little wachusi across the landmines and do a photo shoot. You know what I'm saying she should go do. She could go do a little pasa doble watusi across the landmines in whatever the hell country she was in and do that philanthropic stuff, too. We haven't seen it from Meghan Markle. We just haven't seen it. She wants to be this humanitarian and she's winning humanitarian awards, but to me, she's basically a threat to humanity. She's not nice, she's not kind. Everybody accuses her of being a bully. So she's getting these humanitarian awards. Where's the humanitarian work? Okay, when she goes and does a little pasa doble watusi wagon wheel across the landmine like Diana, then I will give her kudos and give her credit. But let's move on and see what else we have. So this is in the article. Megan is pulling back the curtain on her marriage to Prince Harry. She says, I think my boundaries have become stronger. You find different ways to protect yourself. She's talking about with the fame and all the spotlight. Here's what she has to say about Harry. He loves me so boldly, so fully. And he has a different perspective because he sees media that I wouldn't. No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he's always going to make sure that he has my back. Part of Harry's allure, Megan said, is that he is someone who just has this childlike wonder and playfulness. I was so drawn to that, and he brought that out in me. That's translated into every part of our life, even in business. I want us to play and have fun and explore and be creative. This is very interesting to me. Notice how she never says, I love Prince Harry. Meghan Markle never says, I am obsessed with him. I love him more than anything. It's always, he loves me the most. He is obsessed with me. He loves Me fully and boldly. It's like that old sort of tale, you should always marry someone who loves you a little bit more. It's like Meghan Markle's telling us he loves her a little bit more. But she also brings up Harry's sort of childlike qualities and maybe a little bit of this Arrested Development. I think that's the case. I think that's something she honed in on. I think she saw Harry did have a little bit of Arrested Development. He was sort of this party boy, maybe not mature for his age. She was able to come in and be that sort of mother figure, put her hand on his hand and say, look, we're going to go to the US These people aren't treating you right. We're going to get out of here. So I feel like she abused and capitalized on those childlike qualities that we loved about Prince Harry. Now, before we move on from Meghan Markle, okay, the holidays are coming up. Holidays are a time for families to get together to reunite. I don't see that happening with the royal families. And even though they do a huge, massive, beautiful Christmas, they go to Sandringham and they have all these. These Christmas festivities. Meghan Markle is doing a Christmas special with Netflix, okay. Because she's become a Hollywood whore. And instead of being British royalty, she's now on Netflix, doing a Christmas special. But she's received some backlash, okay? Some backlash for her beige Christmas. Okay? Her beige Christmas. And we actually have some clips I'll put up on the screen. When she was a working member of the royal family, she cried and lamented that she had to wear beige. She said I had to wear beige to just fade away. I was fading away. I couldn't wear color. And now her Christmas is beige. It looks like someone stole Christmas. I mean, what is she even putting in these stockings?

She putting stockings also. It's like, are the stockings for the children? Because we never see Archie and Lily. Bet. Okay, are Archie and Lilibet gonna be included in Christmas this year? Because we never see them except when she needs to extort them on social media and exploit them for views and followers. So maybe we'll see them in the Christmas special. But she's doing this Christmas special. I have it here on December 3rd. And we'll show you the trailer in a minute. But what's so sad is that they have these young kids who have cousins in the uk Like George, Charlotte and Louis would be Archie and Lilibet's cousins. They could all be together playing on the holidays. That's what's so fun about Christmas and the holidays. They're going to be alone on the compound in Montecito. How sad. How bleak, how pathetic. Okay. If you have all of these in laws and all this family across the pond and these kids are alone, they might not even know they're royalty. But let's take a look at the trailer.

You can do things that make people feel a little bit more seen. Now, I don't know about you, but in my household and in my household growing up, I'd love to hear from the moms and dads out there. The holidays are so hectic to. You've got school, you've got activities, you got people flying in. You've got traffic, you got last minute shopping and gift wrapping. Even if you're alone on the holiday, sometimes it can be hectic because there's just so much going on. Nobody's holidays look like that, okay? Who has time around the holidays to just have strangers come over and do arts and crafts and make little bespoke fancy cocktails and to make these beverages and to do arts and crafts? No one has time for this crap on the holidays, okay? Any real parent who doesn't have 10 nannies and millions of dollars like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, they are running ragged and rabid to get everything done to get the tree up. And they're arguing, they're fighting. I mean, most Christmases look like National Lampoons Christmas. If you've seen the movie, they don't look like a Meghan Markle Christmas. And she says, we just want people to feel seen and heard and we want to spread joy and kindness and wonder. And then we find out the real Megan is this nasty bully who's going to Balenciaga shows and, you know, demanding the Kardashians take pictures down allegedly. Like, that's the real Meghan Markle. All right? A fame hungry win. Okay? That's the real Meghan Markle. To me, she is not at all tied in with Christmas, okay? Her brand is the antithesis of Christmas because Christmas is about joy and love. And light and Meghan Markle. I think she deserves coal. Meghan Markle, you deserve Cole for Christmas. But because I don't want Cole for Christmas, we gotta pay some bills. And after we pay some bills, come on back this holiday While others are.

Well, last but not least, we have to cover two cultural topics, but they're also political. I want start off by discussing Jeffree star. Now, if you don't know who Jeffree star is, okay, go do a quick little Google. He is a man, makeup, ogle, YouTuber, influencer. But he likes to wear pink hair and green hair and makeup. He has a very striking look. When you look at Jeffree Star, he's someone you would expect to be woke, right? He looks like someone who might be woke, like me. People look at me and think, oh, well, you're gay and you're blonde and you're ginzy. You might be down with all the woke stuff. No, I want common sense. Jeffree star has also gone viral for fighting for common sense and how he's tired of all this gender ideology being pushed by parents. Let's take a look, and then let's.

Why are we encouraging our kids to be a different gender and feed them false information when they're so young? So this is what I said recently that people really understood when I grew up and I started looking different, right? My mother encouraged me to just be myself. When I started wearing makeup and being more feminine and wanting to do certain things, it wasn't. Oh, my God. Jeffrey needs. What do they call it now? Gender affirming care. I'm gonna. I'm done. I'm done.

She let me be myself. She didn't push me to be anything. Just like when you're a tomboy. Did your mom try to, you know, get you a surgery to be a. You know what I mean? Did she cut your tits off at 13? That's not. No. So nowadays it's all these fucking weirdos telling their kids, oh, my God, you like. You like a Barbie.

So this is on the Skinny confidential podcast, and I'm so happy Jeffree Star is speaking out because you need more common sense gay guys to speak out and say, you know what? The call is coming from inside the house. We're not down with the nonsense, okay? And you guys can call us bigoted, you can call us transphobic. You can say whatever you want. You can say we're divisive. We will never, ever support kids transitioning, being shot up with hormones, young girls getting mastectomies in the name of transgenderism and gender ideology. No we used to have tomboys, and you used to have boys who were more effeminate. No doctors were pushing them. But now you've got this big medical lobby in this push where if a kid comes in and they even exhibit even qualities of the opposite sex, the doctor might be saying, you got to transition the kid. You got to do this. And then they're making a lot of money with these prescriptions and these procedures. So it's a whole system. Okay. And there are some liberal parents who wear it like a badge of honor. These parents think it's cool to have like a little accessory of a trans or non binary child. Like, my child is transgender. You know, in Hollywood, it's the whole thing. Every celebrity has a transgender child. I'm sorry, that's statistically not possible. So we do have to call out some of these liberal parents who are pushing gender ideology. And the doctors let kids love themselves. And Charlie Kirk would actually talk about that when he was encountered with trans kids. And trans kids would come up to the microphone. Charlie would tell them, look, I want you to love the way God made you, okay? You don't need to have surgery and change who you are. Love who you are and get to know who you are first before you do anything drastic. And that was from Charlie Kirk. That was from Charlie Kirk. So I'm glad Jeffree star is speaking out. I want to play you one last clip of Jeffree star speaking about transgender folks in the bathroom.

Jeffree Star
Nowadays, we have grown men with beards wearing dresses, going into the women's restroom. When I was younger, any normal person that felt like they were born in the wrong body was trying to be passable, and they were really wanting to live their life as a woman. And if you really think psychologically you were born in the wrong body, unfortunately, it's kind of. It's like a mental illness, but people hear illness and they just have a full spiral. So this new age of weirdos and predators trying to pretend they're trans or pretend they're this and. And harm women and children. That's my issue. So there is this piece of named Lilitino, who is pretending to be trans and recently went into the women's restroom at Disneyland. Disneylands for children. Yes. There's adults that like Disney. We know that. And the camera's rolling. I'm sorry, there's a seven year old that just walked behind you. Why the are you in a little training bra and lipstick? Clearly with a man's voice in the women's restroom filming rage bait. Attention. These Things did not exist 10 years ago.

Host (Link Lore)
I could not agree more. There are some folks who are actually transgender, okay. They want to transition, and they're adults, and they can make that decision and do what they want to do. I think there's some also folks who are just sick. Right. We saw this at Gold's Gym recently with Tish Hyman, the black lesbian woman who called out the man in the women's locker room. I mean, I'm sorry, that was a guy who allegedly had a criminal record and a track record, but he wants to go into the women's locker room and the women's bathrooms because he is sick, in my opinion. Okay? He is a sicko. Okay? So you have folks who might actually be trans. A small, select few of the population, but then you got others who want to capitalize and take advantage of. Of the system. So we have to protect our women, we have to protect our women's sports, we have to protect our women's bathrooms, and we have to protect our kids. And it's crazy that we even have to have these discussions. But I want to move on and round out the show by talking about Joy Reid, because apparently Joy Reid has come around as well from the woke nonsense. Let's take a look at the clip.

If I saw a penis in the ladies rocket room, I would freak out, too. This is just. I mean, this is nothing against trans anybody. What it's saying is if I turn around and I see a pee. Pee a penis in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, wait a minute. Why is there somebody. A naked man in this room? Because just the world we live in. Just from a safety standpoint and just from a. You know, from a privacy standpoint, I would. So I can see why she would have gone and reported to management.

Hallelujah. I never thought I would agree with Joy Reid on anything. Okay. She is a partisan hack. I still think she's a little bit deranged in most of her views. Okay. I normally don't agree with Joy Reid on much, except when she had the blonde hair, we kind of had the same hairstyle that was ripping me off, but Joy Reid. Thank you. Okay. If Joy Reid is calling out the WOKE nonsense, we don't need men in women's restrooms. Remember back in the day when I was growing up?

If you even went into the children's bathroom or there was an adult that came in or a man went in the women's. It was a huge deal. You run out and you call the cops and you say, mom, dad, what's going on Now? We're supposed to just accept that these guys can walk into women's bathrooms willy nilly and we're not supposed to say anything or else we're transphobic and closed minded? No, but we all know now we're on the side of common sense and we're in the majority. And so people aren't going to be bullied anymore into accepting the crap, okay? We're not going to be bullied anymore into just accepting men and women's sports or men and women's bathrooms. We are going to put our foot down. And I love when I see even these sports teams, these girls who say we're not participating. We're going to walk off, we're going to go home, we're not going to play the game, okay? We're not going to compete against men. You have someone like Peyton McNabb who suffered brain damage because she had to compete against a guy. You've got Riley Gaines and you've got these girl who missed out on medals and some girls who miss out on scholarships because a guy comes in at the last minute and took what they worked for. And the far left, the deranged far left, okay, not everyone in the Democratic party, but the far left, okay, they want to shame us and say we're close minded and we're assholes and we're jerks because we're not just allowing this. No, we're going to protect our girls, okay? If the feminist won't actually protect the girls and do the female empowerment, all of us will. And so I never thought I would be agreeing with Joy Reid on anything, but thank you, Joy Reid for speaking out. And thank you to Jeffree Star as well for speaking out and using his platform. Hey, everyone, if you're hunting for the perfect gift this holiday season, I've got you. You need the COVID Pure water purifier. I'm gifting one to my mom. She's obsessed with tea but hates waiting.
