Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren, a show where we're going to break down the calamities of Hollywood, the circus of Washington D.C. and everything in between. Happy Monday. Okay? Or if you're listening to us on Tuesday, Happy Tuesday. It's another beautiful day on God's green earth. But I didn't get much sleep last night. I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm hangry. Which means nobody is safe today, okay?
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Nobody is safe from my wrath today.
Link Lauren
I will say I got back last night. I was on a work slash leisure leisure trip in Las Vegas. And I have to say, I met so many incredible people in Las Vegas. I don't leave the house too much. You guys know I don't love to leave my house, but maybe like once a month I forget that anybody knows me. And I met so many incredible people who came up and said, are you Link? I watch your videos, I watch your podcast. I've seen your stuff. And I love that when we meet, we're automatically best friends because we all have shared values. We all love this country. And I'm just so grateful and so humbled from the people I met just walking around Las Vegas. Vegas. And I will warn you, okay? If you see me out in the flesh and you ask me for a picture or you say, hi, I'm probably going to join your vacation. I'm going to join your table at dinner and we're going to end up being best friends. So I am just warning you. But I'm very, very, very grateful. And I don't take it for granted for even one second that even a few people care about what I have to say, let alone Many people. So I'm very grateful. And we have a huge show planned for you today. I'm going to be testing Meghan Markle's new products. Okay, I ordered Meghan Markle's products because I'm a martyr. I'll be testing them. I've got some of the jams, the jellies, the candles. We'll also talk about Michelle Obama. She's back bitching and complaining about her hair and makeup. We'll talk about Jimmy Kimmel's wife. We'll talk about trans athletes in the Olympics. There's a big development on that. We have so much to discuss. So without further ado, let's dive right in.

Please support our show and tell them we sent you. Well, my friends, I'm a martyr. I do this only for you. I ordered Meghan Markle's products from her brand. As ever. Okay, they finally came in the mail. We have orange marmalade, raspberry spread, strawberry.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Spread, flower sprinkles, and then we also have the scented candle.
Link Lauren
This is scented candle number 84 with water, lotus, sandalwood and California poppy. Now let me read you, okay, so you guys know I'm a martyr. Let me read you the prices on this. So this candle, okay, was $64. These jams 36. The flower sprinkles, 15. So I brought some spoons. Okay, I'm officially going to try the Duchess of Scamalot's products. And I have to start by saying, when I posted on my Instagram story and showed that all this came in the mail and I was going to be testing it, I got so many messages from people saying, number one, you're committed to your journalism. Yes, I am. I'm very committed. Okay. Number two, a lot of people were concerned for me. They said, link, you need to have one of those taste testers like the president has allegedly.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Like, people who test your food.
Link Lauren
You know, like the Middle Eastern leaders.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I need a taste tester to make sure Meghan Markle hasn't poisoned me.
Link Lauren
I feel like Meghan Markle saw Link Lauren and my address on the shipping.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
And probably put rat poison in the food.
Link Lauren
But nonetheless, we will see if we live another day. I will start off by telling you guys this. The packaging was cheap, okay? The packaging had all this crinkly paper, and I threw most of it away. The spread. I thought when I got the holiday trio of spreads that they were going to come in a nice little package. They were basically wrapped in this cheap crinkly paper and thrown in a box. Okay? But maybe that was just mine. Maybe that was just mine because, you know, Meghan Markle saw my name on the package. But I think we will start with the strawberry spread. Now, let me read you a little bit about this. This is a versatile set of three beloved spreads. Delicately sweet and sophisticated. Orange marmalade, raspberry spread and our brand new strawberry. This much anticipated flavor is exclusive to our holiday sets. Now. Okay, who is anticipating this? And one of Megan's favorite spreads to make at home. Each spread is inspired by the jams Meghan has created in her own kitchen and shared over the years. Bright, just a bit tart, with a whisper, a whisper of lemon to bring out the fullness of the flavor. All three spreads are crafted to highlight each fruit's natural essence. Now I will say, okay, Oprah Winfrey, who used to mean something, okay, she has listed these sprint, these sprams, these.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Spreads and jams as some of her favorite things.
Link Lauren
There's actually a headline from Oprah.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I drizzle Megan's jam on my English muffins. Okay, so Oprah has put this on.
Link Lauren
Her list of her favorite things, which used to be a huge deal. Even 10 years ago, 20 years ago. I remember being a kid, Oprah's favorite things could just move mountains could move products. But then again, Oprah's been eating gale for 40 years, so I'm not sure her taste buds are up to snuff. But nonetheless, we will be trying these products. Let's start with the strawberry spread. Oh.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Y', all.
Link Lauren
It looks like what came over Carrie in that movie. Okay? I also. I got the cheap spoons, okay? I'm not going to use the good spoons in case any of this is toxic, okay? I didn't use my mother's china or her silver. Oh, God. Let me read you guys this, okay? 35 calories, 7 grams of added sugar, 14% of your daily. Whatever the ingredients, Strawberries, organic cane sugar, organic lemon juice concentrate, and fruit pectin. Refrigerate after opening. Now, let me say this, okay? Before I try. A lot of people reached out to me and say and said thank you for trying out the jams and jellies. I'm calling them jams and jellies. I guess they're spreads. I have to say, I'm a very objective person. Okay? If they are good, I will separate the art from the artist, okay? Like when I watch a Harvey Weinstein film.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Okay. I will separate the art from the artist, Okay?
Link Lauren
I don't care if someone's been in a scandal, if someone's a despicable person. If the product is good, I'll give credit where credit is due. Okay? If that little huckster over in Montecito actually made a good spread, we'll see. Okay, here we go. I'm taking as little as possible.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I try to get as little as possible on the spoon, okay? Okay. It tastes like smuckers.
Link Lauren
Okay. Smuckers or smackers, whatever the hell that is. I would not probably pay $36 for this. Does not taste excellent. It's nothing. Groundbreaking. You could put it on toast in the morning. Let's try the orange marmalade. Okay.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Oh, it smells. It smells really bad. I'm sorry. Okay. It smells really. It smells terrible, you guys. I feel like. I feel like I'm on the show.
Link Lauren
Fear Factor where they have to, like, eat slugs and stuff.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I feel like. Oh, my God.
Link Lauren
I feel like I'm at fat camp and they're, like, forcing me to eat vegetables or something. I don't know if fat camp is real. Okay. No, I literally feel my throat closing.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Oh, my God.
Link Lauren
Orange marmalade tastes like crap. I actually feel sick. That's really not good. That's not good.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I really feel like I feel my throat is closing. I'm about to vomit. You guys are actually about to vomit all over everything. That was pretty disgusting.
Link Lauren
Okay. Oh, this. This is diabolical.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Okay, the orange marmalade is literally diabolical.
Link Lauren
Now we're going to try the raspberry spread.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
The raspberry spread.
Link Lauren
The one thing I will say about these products, if you're ever gonna, like, waterboard or do torture to get information out of someone, have them try one bite of this. Have one little spoon of orange marmalade. You guys, I literally feel like I'm gonna vomit. Okay? The raspberry spread.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I'm taking as little as possible. I'm literally putting as little as possible. Okay, Maybe she did poison me.
Link Lauren
That I'd actually respect her more if she poisoned me. Okay. Yeah, this one's a no, too. Okay, I made my decision. The only one that is remotely good, and I will say it's genuinely good, is the strawberry spread. The strawberry spread is the only one I would say is worth potentially ordering. If you're into spreads, this is decent. The orange marmalade, literally the worst thing I've ever swallowed.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Literally the worst thing I've probably ever put in my mouth. Okay, if my mom's Bible study is watching, I will say no further.
Link Lauren
But, ladies, I'm telling you, orange marmalade from Meghan Markle's brand, as ever, is probably the worst tasting thing in life. I actually question Oprah for putting it on her favorite things. Now we have to try the flower sprinkles. Now, let me just say this, okay? Meghan Markle, she wants to be the next Martha Stewart. She acts like she's the next, you know, Anthony Bourdain. She literally will throw some flower sprinkles on food and call it gourmet. Okay? So she thinks throwing flower sprinkles is going to change a recipe or a meal. I don't like flower sprinkles. I think it's tacky. I think it's cheap. I can't believe I paid $15 for something I can go get in the yard. But nonetheless, let me read you what's in here. Dried rose calendula and blue cornflower petals and hibiscus flower. Okay, number one. It looks like something Bob Marley would have rolled up and smoked.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
It looks like something Bob Marley would have smoked. Do I just try. How do you try flower. How do you try flower petals? Do you just put some in your mouth? I mean, I've never.
Link Lauren
It tastes like straw. It tastes like straw. Okay, this is a no for me also. This is an absolute no. I would not pay $15 for this crap. Okay? I will not pay $15. I feel like I'm gonna be sick. I actually feel Like, I'm eating printer paper. I feel like I'm eating printer paper. So this is a. No. The last thing. The last thing we have to try.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
You guys, I'm literally about to vomit. The last thing I have to try.
Link Lauren
The as ever scented candle. Now, this candle is supposed to smell like Meghan Markle's home. Okay.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I'm not sure if I want to smell Meghan Markle's home. I will say, at least it's not.
Link Lauren
The Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle. Remember, Gwyneth Paltrow did that candle. It was like, this smells like my vagina. If Meghan Markle did a candle like.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
That, it would probably wipe out an entire village.
Link Lauren
Okay. It'd be like a mustard gas bomb. Okay. So I'm glad that this candle smells like her home. And at least it doesn't smell like her. The one thing I'll say is because I wasn't going to spend that much money. There were two candles. One is supposed to smell like her home in California. The other one was supposed to smell like, I think, Frogmore Gardens in the English countryside. I thought that was ridiculous because she could have just stayed living at Frogmore Gardens in the English countryside. But nonetheless, she didn't have to make a candle. All right, let's open it.
Guest or Clip Speaker
Okay. Okay.
Link Lauren
This is what it looks like.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
No, you guys. You guys. There's no wick. Like a producer. Kylie, there's no wick.
Link Lauren
Right?
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Am I crazy? What? Where's the thing that I light? This has to be a joke. No, I'm not even kidding. I'm not kidding, you guys.
Link Lauren
This isn't. This isn't a stunt. There's literally nothing too light in here. No, it's not pasted down. My producers, in my ear.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Is it pasted down? No, it's not pasted down. Zoom in. There's literally nothing. There's nothing to light on the candle. This is like Meghan Markle's career failure to launch. Oh, my God. Wait, this is not a joke.
Link Lauren
I ordered Meghan Markle's candle.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
There's nothing to light. I literally want a refund. I've actually.
Link Lauren
Meghan Markle send me a freaking refund. So I paid. How much did I pay for this? $64.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I paid $64 for a candle you can't light. And you know how God has a sense of humor.
Link Lauren
I was running around the house this morning looking for matches or looking for a lighter. So I literally finally found matches. Okay, we're a few minutes late filming the show looks like I didn't even.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Need a match because there's nothing to light the candle. Light a candle. Okay, let me smell.
Link Lauren
It smells like a whorehouse in Nevada. It smells no different than a Yankee candle you could get at cvs. It's not my favorite scent. It's a very feminine scent, I will tell you. It is actually very, very feminine. It's supposed to be water lotus, sandalwood, and California poppy. It does probably smell like Meghan Markle's bathroom at her home in Montecito, I.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Will tell you that.
Link Lauren
But it's a no for me. I. I will say this. If I'm paying $64 for a candle, there better be a wicked. Okay. There better be something that I can actually light.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I actually think this is a joke. This is like. This has to be a prank, you guys.
Link Lauren
The candle, I will say it's. It's weighty, it's heavy. It doesn't feel cheap. I'll give her credit for that. It doesn't feel cheap. The problem is you can't light it, you bird brain. There's nothing in here. So someone at quality control. Someone at quality control needed to control the quality because there's nothing to light. So I think this is a metaphor. This is a metaphor because everything Megan tries to do and she tries to ignite, it flops. Okay? Everything she touches turns to crowd. She goes to the Dodgers game. Look what happened. So nonetheless, everything Meghan Markle does gets markled.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I feel like I just got markled, you guys. I've officially been markled because there's no.
Link Lauren
Wick in the candle. So that's my review. Okay? Megan's brand, as ever, it's a no for me. It's an absolute no for me. The only. The only redeemable one was what? The strawberry. Which one was redeemable? I think the strawberry. I thought that was decent. I can't even remember the marmalade. The marmalade is probably the worst thing I've ever tasted. It tastes like vomit, and it tastes like puke, okay? So if that's your thing, order this. It literally looks like vomit, too. It looks terrible. So this is a no. The candle is a no. All in all, I give the brand 2 out of 10. The candle did have some weight to it. Some of these things are remotely edible, but I don't think it's worth your money, okay? You can go to the grocery store. You can support a small business of someone who actually loves this country, who actually has something to offer to society as Ever. We'll be keeping our eyes on you. I don't think I'll be ordering another candle, but I am going to see if they can give me a refund on this one. So, Meghan Markle's PR team, you guys played games with the wrong one. You messed around with the wrong one. But we got to move on to some more topics. Okay? I've washed my mouth out with soap. I am back. I've recovered, thankfully, from trying Meghan Markle's products. The last thing I want to discuss as it pertains to Meghan Markle, because I know any more Meghan Markle, you guys will be as sick as I am right now. After eating her products, she's apparently making a return to acting. Okay, we have this here in the notes. Okay, so the sun broke the news that Meghan Markle is filming a new movie for Amazon, MGM Studios. Apparently, she is going to be playing herself.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Okay. I think this is the perfect role for Meghan Markle.
Link Lauren
Okay. I don't know which version of herself she's going to be playing because they're about 10 different Meghan Markle's. Okay, but she says she's going to be playing Meghan Markle in a movie. I don't know if this is an accomplishment. Is she going to be playing an entitled, spoiled ex duchess who shanked her in laws and ran away from the royal family? That would be true. Okay. That would be a really true and accurate portrayal. Meghan Markle. But let me read you a little bit about this. So she's going to be playing herself in a movie called Close Personal Friends. I didn't know Megan had any of those. It stars Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Jack Quaid, Henry Golding. Fun fact. I used to take acting classes with Brie Larson's acting coach. Her career went a little bit better than mine.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
A source clarified that Markle has a small role in the movie.
Link Lauren
Meanwhile, a studio source told the sun that Markle's return to acting is a.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Massive moment and signifies a return of doing what she truly loves.
Link Lauren
Now, you know Meghan Markle's PR Roche that. Okay, Meghan Markle's PR wrote that because all they do is just say amazing, incredible things about her. But Meghan Markle, I don't know if this is really an accomplishment. Okay. This isn't a dramatic role. This isn't something that's going to win an Oscar. Okay. I actually wish she were better at playing herself. If she were better at playing herself, maybe some of us would actually like her. Okay? But Meghan Markle, we wish you well with your return to acting. The last thing I want to say, Meghan Markle, she went to Kris Jenner's 70th birthday over the weekend. Every celebrity was at Kris Jenner's 70th birthday. Okay? It was like an Illuminati meeting. Okay? It was like a Diddy freak off party. But for Kris Jenner, who had turned 70. And Megan Markle, she goes to Kris Jenner 70th birthday party with Prince Harry. He's loving the attention. They're loving the paparazzi. She looked horrible. Her outfit was horrible. But I just want to mention Meghan Markle did not wear a poppy for National Remembrance Day. And then her team said that it wasn't easily available here in the United States. Now, this is BS because they've worn the poppies before. For those of us here in the United States, National Remembrance Day, as far as I understand, is sort of like their Memorial Day in the United Kingdom. Meghan Markle did not even wear a poppy. She was out in Hollywood hanging out with her rich celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez, all the Kardashians. That's who Meghan Markle is. She doesn't care about the uk she doesn't care about the Commonwealth. She doesn't care about doing good for people. She cares about being in this Hollywood elite circle. And she's dined out on her title for years. The only reason people still invite Meghan Markle is because she has conned them into thinking she's still connected to the Royal family. And all these idiots in Hollywood, like the Kardashians, they probably think, oh, she's a duchess. What does that even mean? Okay, she's a duchess. No, she's not a duchess. She doesn't go to the uk she sits around her mansion, Montecito, making cheap jams, jellies, and dog biscuits. So Meghan Markle, everything she touches turns to crap. Her brand is terrible. I'm actually genuinely upset. I spent $64 on that candle and I couldn't even light it. That's actually an embarrassment for Meghan Markle. That's 100% embarrassing. But Meghan Markle, we gotta move on and pay our own bills. And then we'll be back discussing some new topics. All right, folks, Beam Cyber Sale is now open for early access for my listeners, and it's their best offer of the year, but only for 48 hours.

Over the last few days, so much happened, okay, Michelle Obama, she's back bitching and moaning about being famous and dealing with hair and makeup. But Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel's wife are also just the bane of my existence. Okay, I can't stand these people. I want to start with this clip of Colbert, and then we'll discuss why.
Stephen Colbert (clip)
Should shows like mine continue to exist or like Kimmel or Jimmy or.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
And I said, everyone plays with great affection. Which is why I'm saying I said, why?
Stephen Colbert (clip)
Oh, we're like your friend who at the end of the day, paid attention to the news more than you did. And you're aware of it. You just didn't do the detail work that we did. And then we curate that. Back to you. At the end of the day, the.
Link Lauren
Sheer elitism from Stephen Colbert. We're your friend who paid attention to the news more than you, and we're going to tell you what happened that day. I'm sorry. If I wanted to hear a bunch of crap, I would tune into Stephen Colbert. And here's the thing. Stephen Colbert, he used to be pretty funny. He used to be kind of funny. He used to be a little bit interesting. Now, Stephen Colbert is nothing but a Democratic shill. And we saw it during 2020. We saw it with the pandemic and the pandemonium. There was no one, no one pushing big Pharma harder than Stephen Colbert. And for him to act like, okay, he's this holier than thou guy. He knows what's going on. He has his finger on the pulse. You don't, okay? And there's a reason all of these shows, their ratings are going down. We don't want to get our news from Stephen Colbert anymore, some little shill when we can get it from social media, podcast, independent influencers and journalists who really know what's going on. Okay? So, Stephen Colbert, you're a flop. For you to sit there and act like you're this genius and you know things and you're going to tell the little people about what happened that day, that's filtered through your lens, okay? It's filtered through your own biases. That's who you are, Stephen Colbert. So I don't find you that funny, and I don't find you that interesting. Someone else I don't find that interesting is Jimmy Kimmel's wife. I don't know why we have to listen to Jimmy Kimmel's wife, but she went absolutely viral over the weekend for some comments she made about losing family members because they happen to support President Trump.
Jimmy Kimmel's Wife (clip)
And there. So there's like, a little bit of sympathy I have for people in my family that I feel are kind of being deliberately misinformed every day. And they've kind of. Yeah, they're deliberately being misinformed every day, and they believe it. But it hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man. And to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family. I wish I could, like, deprogram myself in some way, but I get really angry. And I've sent many emails to family, like, right before the election, saying, I'm begging you, here's the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy.
Link Lauren
How come this is always coming from one side? Okay? These Democrats, these liberals, they don't want to accept their conservative, their common sense, their independent family members. We don't see this from the right, okay? I'm conservative. Many of you watching this are conservative. You might be Maga Maha, independent, just right of center, okay? We don't exile people from our lives because they happen to think a little bit differently, because they happen to vote a little bit differently, okay? But the left, they love to preach about diversity and all of this inclusion, but they don't actually like diversity of poor because they are willing to lose family members, all because they voted for President Trump, because a family member said, you know what? I believe there are two genders. I want a secure border. I want common sense that is worth losing a family member over. The LA Hollywood elite, slimy, smarmy attitude from Jimmy Kimmel, his wife and everybody on that podcast. It makes my skin crawl. It makes my skin crawl. Because they want to point the fingers to the right. They want to point at the right and say, you guys don't accept us. You guys are bigoted and small minded. You all are the most small minded people. If anybody steps out, if anybody steps out of your pre prescribed doctrine, you're sending nasty emails to your family members. She said, I tried to deprogram myself. She said her family members were being deliberately misinformed. I'm here to tell you, you living in your rich, fancy neighborhood in Hollywood, you're probably pretty misinformed about the issues that actually matter to Americans, okay? Across the country. I don't want to hear from Jimmy Kimmel who makes millions of dollars a year or his wife who gets to spend his millions of dollars a year. I don't want to hear from her about the issues. I just don't, okay? You guys can choose to live in liberal failing California. We're going to be here in reality. Now, speaking of an out of touch liberal elite celebrity, we have to talk about Kim Kardashian, okay? She did not go to law school. She did some private apprenticeship where basically you throw money at private tutors and they tutor you. And she thinks that she is going to be a lawyer and look like, I'm not someone who thinks, you know, Kim Kardashian should stay the way she was 20 years ago and we discovered her on her back in a sex tape. If she wants to become a lawyer and build these billion dollar businesses, that's the American dream, okay? Kim Kardashian, you might be able to become a lawyer, but she failed the bar exam. Kim Kardashian, she failed the California bar exam and she did a post saying, I'm not a lawyer yet, but I will play a very well dressed lawyer on tv. Six years into this law journey and I'm still, still all in. Until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up. Just more studying and even more determination. Yada, yada, yada. I was so close to passing the exam. That only motivates me even more. Let's go. Okay, I will say there are plenty of prominent people who have not passed the bar. Okay? I think JFK Jr. JFK Jr. I believe he did not pass the bar the first three times. Or maybe he passed on the third time. It's not uncommon, Right? The bar exam is supposed to be hard. Most of my friends, they do pass the bar on the first time, okay? They go to law school. They pass the bar. I will say, if Jasmine Crockett can pass the bar. If Jasmine Crockett can pass the bar, there is no excuse for Kim Kardashian, okay?
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
If Jasmine crack a lack a Crockett.
Link Lauren
Can pass the bar, there's no excuse, okay? Kamala Harris, she allegedly passed the California bar years ago. That was actually the last time she ever passed a bar.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I don't think Kamala Harris is passing up any bars.
Link Lauren
I'm still unsure when it comes to Jasmine Crockett and Kamala Harris when I see clips of them, did they pass the bar or were they sitting at a bar? But nonetheless, if Kamala Harris and Jasmine Crockett can pass the bar exam, Kim Kardashian should be able to pass the bar exam. But I don't know how she's supposed to pass when she's running skims. She's doing photo shoots. She's selling these fake bush panties. She's selling fake nipple piercings. She's filming a TV show. She is shocked that she did not pass the bar. How are you supposed to pass the bar and raise your kids? Okay, I know she has nannies, but you're supposed to raise your kids to and pass the bar. I'm just not seeing it anytime soon for Kim Kardashian, but I wish her well. Speaking of wishing people well, we got to talk about these SNAP benefits and this EBT situation that's still going on in the country anytime I look online, okay, there's either a video of someone on SNAP who is stealing from a grocery store. There's a video of someone crying and saying they're starving. I have made videos about the SNAP and EBT program, okay? There are 42 million Americans on SNAP. That is absolutely insane. People are gaming the system. There are dead people on the system. There are still Veterans, right. Who are sleeping on the street and trying to get food. And I see people on TikTok stealing from grocery stores and filling their carts up with junk, okay? With their SNAP cards. But there's also a video. There's a video that has gone viral of a woman saying she is starving because she hasn't gotten her SNAP benefits. I want to take a look and then discuss. It's really bad. Danielle Grant is starving. I know.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
I'm trying to see if I can.
Guest or Clip Speaker
Get some food because we literally don't.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Have anything to eat today or tomorrow.
Link Lauren
Okay?
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
The broadcaster that said Danielle Grant is starving.
Link Lauren
She does not look like she's starving in that clip, okay? She does not look like she's starving in that clip whatsoever. And I'm also sick of these people saying they need the government to pay for everything. They need the government to pay for all their food and all their groceries. That woman, she doesn't look hungry. These people have their hair done. Her hair is in pink braids. That's not cheap. They have tattoos, piercings, their hair done. They have cell phones or sitting in cars filming themselves sometimes in these videos. I'm so sick. I'm so sick of all the performative theatrics and all the faux outrage going on. Okay? The SNAP program, number one, it's supposed to be temporary for people who are really in a tough spot. If you have a couple of months where you're struggling, you got to feed your kids or in between jobs. That's what the SNAP program is for. I have no problem, okay? If someone is disabled, if they've served this country, if they're really in a tough spot for them, being able to use the SNAP program. But there are these welfare queens, like this woman in the video, who continue to abuse and misuse the system time and time again. And it's not the American taxpayers job to subsidize you, filling your cart up with Doritos, Fritos and a bunch of junk and crap, okay? So we're going to pay for you to get all these sugary drinks and all this junk food. And then the American taxpayer is supposed to pay for you when you have diabetes and all of these health issues and you go to the doctor's office. So this is just a circuitous, never ending cycle of these people living on welfare in this welfare state in the United States of America. So when the government reopens, maybe by the time you watch this, the government will be reopened. We really need to go through these scrolls and kick people off of Snap. There's no reason we should have 42 million people on SNAP here in the United States of America, okay? There are about, what, 300,000,000,000 people in this country. You're telling me 42 million, 42 million need snap? I'm not buying it. But the last thing I'll say is this. There are 21 states, 21 Democratic states that are hiding who is on SNAP. They don't want to turn over to the federal government who is on snap, because you have illegal migrants, you have criminals, you have people who are abusing the system. So we'll be monitoring this. We'll be monitoring this whole situation. This next story is breaking while we're filming the podcast. I had to discuss this. So the Olympics have said they are going to ban transgender athletes in 2028. And that makes me so happy, okay? It's insane we even have to have this conversation and have this discussion. Why should we even have to argue over men and women's sports? Are men and women's locker rooms, okay? This used to be common sense before all the woke crap came in and infested society and sports, okay? But let me read you about this, okay? The ioc, the International Olympic Committee, will enact a new policy that prohibit trans female athletes from competing against biological women. According to multiple reports, the IOC's current policy leaves it up to each individual sports governing body to make policies governing transgender athletes. But as the IOC changed its leadership, the Times of London reported on Monday that its policies are set to change as well. I love this, okay? The left in the west, in the United States, in the UK and all these countries, they say they love protecting women. We're all about feminism and protecting women. You're not protecting women if you allow men to come in and be in their locker rooms and on their sports teams. And we've had girls who get hurt, they injure themselves. Girls should not have to compete against grown men on their sports teams, okay? It's fairness, okay? There are biological differences between men and women. It's not sexist to say it, okay? Women will tell you there are differences between them and men time and time again, okay? You should not have to compete against men when they have those advantages. So I'm so happy that the Olympics, they're going to make this change. But it's also a sad day. It's a sad day that we even have to discuss this. And the last thing we have to discuss before we go and pay some bills is Michelle Obama. So Michelle Obama is the gift that keeps on giving okay, we almost need a tracker up on the screen. Every single day. Every single day, Michelle Obama goes out there and she complains about hair and makeup and how she hated being first lady. I want to start by playing you this one clip where she admits she never wanted Barack to be in politics.
Guest or Clip Speaker
My husband decided that he was going to be a politician, which was like, oh, my God, really? Can you pick just one other career? I mean, there's so much. You're very talented. You know, you could do almost anything. Are you sure politics is what you want to do?
Link Lauren
I am still waiting for Michelle Obama to say thank you. Those two words. Okay, if Michelle Obama would just say thank you. Thank you for giving me the honor and the privilege of being first lady. Why can't she just say that? Why does she have to bitch and moan and complain every single day about every single thing under the sun? I'm so sorry. She had to be married to the President of the United States. If. If first lady Melania Trump went out there and she denigrated her husband in that way, CNN would be coming in with breaking news. Okay? But with Michelle Obama, they laugh and they think it's so funny. And, oh, she didn't want to be first lady and she didn't want to do any of this. I don't actually find it that funny. I don't find it that funny. We paid for her to live in the White House, okay? We paid for her Secret Service to this day. We gave her the American dream. We gave this woman the American dream, and all she does is bitch and complain about the fact that she had to be first lady. If it was so hard for you, if it was so hard for you, get up and walk out of the White House. Get up and walk out. But you didn't want to do that because you enjoyed the lifestyle. The last clip I want to play you. This clip has gone absolutely viral. Michelle Obama is once again complaining about having a glam team.
Guest or Clip Speaker
You know, I was up for the public, and the days were long, so as you mentioned, to save time.
Multicare Commercial Announcer
Yes.
Guest or Clip Speaker
You know, I know having a glam team, a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but it was a time necessity. There is absolutely no way that I would be able to do my hair and makeup and have clothes ready that fit, you know, because rare is the woman that can live off the rack. Yes.
Link Lauren
You know, rare is the woman who can live off the rack.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
Okay?
Link Lauren
Those are not words I ever need to hear from a first lady or former first lady. And she's complaining about having hair and makeup and stylist and a glam team because it was so hard for her being the first lady of the United States. Say thank you, Michelle Obama. Say thank you. She's also on Jamie Kerr and Lima's podcast who's in my opinion, this insane cringe woman. She's the one who did the podcast with Megan Markle where they were crying and saying yet the power of yet I haven't reached success yet. That's who that woman is. And so Michelle Obama, you're at the bottom of the barrel, scraping. I'll also say this, this Michelle Obama, she has a few fans, okay? They find their way into their comments. They might be in the comments on here and they're mad that I'm discussing Michelle Obama's hair and makeup and her clothes. You guys, give us something else to talk about. All Michelle Obama does is go out there and talk about her hair and makeup in her clothes. She's literally doing a book. The book is called the look and it's all about her different looks throughout the years.
Link Lauren's Co-host or Producer
And people are mad at me saying it's frivolous to discuss Michelle Obama's clothes.
Link Lauren
I've also never seen someone do a fashion book who doesn't have but maybe two or three good looks. Okay, Michelle Obama doing a fashion book is insane, okay? It's like me doing a book on the Olympics when I used to get lapped in the mile in PE in high school, okay? That's how ridiculous it is for Michelle Obama to be doing a book on fashion. But she can continue complaining. She can complain about being first lady. The last thing I'll say is this. There's probably a reason she and her husband aren't seen in the same room that much. Okay? They're probably a myriad. There's a myriad of reasons why we don't see them together. But there's nothing a man hates more than coming home to a woman who's constantly emasculating them, denigrating them and complaining, okay? All Michelle Obama does is complain. And she has nothing to complain about. She's got gazillions of dollars. She lives in mansions, she's had a charmed life and all she had to do was marry. Well, we weren't expecting the world from Michelle Obama. She was married to the president. She had to show up to ribbon cuttings and state dinners and plant vegetable gardens and do some push ups on the Ellen show. That's all that was expected her. But keep complaining, Michelle Obama, and we'll keep calling you out on your bs. Okay, you guys need to hear about this.
