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. We have so many good topics to cover today if this is your first time tuning in. Welcome to the show. We welcome everyone from the left, the right, the middle, all across the political spectrum. As long as you have a sense of humor, you don't take things too seriously. And and if you are a Trump deranged wild far left liberal, you might not enjoy the show as much. But please feel free to leave your hate comments. So I want to start off today's episode by crowning Utter Calamity of the Week. I am giving Utter Calamity of the Week to the Democrats. Last night at the State of the Union the Democrats made fools of themselves. They would not stand okay for a hundred year old veteran named Royce Williams. Okay? This is a hundred year old five fighter pilot. Okay? His generation sacrificed so I can sit here on camera and run my mouth and have free speech. Right? We don't just have these freedoms and liberties in the United States. We have them because people fought for them. We have to continue fighting for them. Okay? This is America250. This is such a beautiful moment when first lady Melania Trump put the Medal of Honor around Royce Williams neck. He was so happy. He was smiling ear to ear. He was there on the front row. But the Democrats, some of them, they stayed seated. There were over 70 Democrats who chose not to show up. They didn't even show up. And then Irina Zarutska's mother. Let's talk about Irina Zarutska. She was the young, blonde, beautiful girl who was stabbed to death by a criminal. A criminal on the train coming home from work. The Democrats stayed seated. They would not stand for her family, the Democrats. My issue with them is this. They have nothing else to offer. If you guys hate Republicans, if you hate President Trump, why do you keep losing elections? You have nothing else to offer. In fact, the Democrats had their own counter programming event. It was like the Drain the Swamp event. I want to show you guys a clip of that. I want to show you a clip of their counter programming event. Imprison us on the. That's enough. That is enough. That was pathetic, okay? It was absolutely pathetic. The Democrats also had another event where they had people in frog costumes. We'll put that up on the screen. I mean, this is just pitiful. I mean, these are overgrown theater kids with nothing better going on. Why don't you just show up for the State of the Union? You know what I'm saying? Republicans show up when a Democrat's in office. Why. Why can't you guys just show up and sit there and just enjoy? Enjoy listening to the accomplishments. Enjoy listening to our country and the patriotism. We are not going to apologize for loving the United States of America, for feeling patriotic, and for having love of country. But all of these counter programming events the Democrats hosted, they were sad. It actually made my skin crawl. Because these are elected officials, right? They exist because of our tax dollars. Right? Your tax dollars. Whatever state you live in, you. You are paying for these folks. And they won't even show up for the State of the Union. They won't stand for a 100-year-old veteran. For Irina Zarutska's family. This is absolutely pathetic, okay? Another group. They won't stand for the USA men's hockey team. These guys have become rock stars, okay? I love these guys. I think they're incredible. They bring a smile to my face because they're so happy. They're having the time of their lives and they're acting like dudes. You know what I'm saying? After four years, okay, of masculinity being called toxic, okay, if a guy tried to explain something, he's mansplaining. If he's sitting too comfortably, he's man spreading, right? The Democrats always have this negative lean to everything about masculinity. So when I see the USA men's hockey team, they're chugging beers, they're out at the club, they had the strippers at the club standing for the national anthem. You know what I'm saying? I love this. It makes me feel like America is back. Red, white and blue. America 250. But the Democrats would not stand. He wouldn't stand for the USA men's hockey team. This is bipartisan. What does this have to do with partisan politics? You guys wouldn't stand for them. They won the first hockey since Miracle on Ice. You wouldn't stand for them. And it's because you're a bunch of feckless cowards and you're losers, okay? You are a bunch of losers in the Democrat Party that you can't stand for the men's hockey team, for veterans, for families whose children have been murdered in the line of duty. What about Sarah Bextrom's family? Would they stand for Sarah Beckstrom's family? No. They sat there like little, nasty, petulant children. And that's who the Democrats are. That's who the Democrats are. And that's why we see so many people leaving the Democratic Party. I mean, people are fleeing the Democratic Party in droves. I think their approval rating from their own people is in the 20s. Like 23%, 25%. So it really is quite bleak. We have some more clips here. I want to play you a clip of President Trump talking about insider trading, stock market.
Political Commentator
Let's also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information. They stood up for that. I can't believe. I can't believe it. Did Nancy Pelosi stand up if she was here?
Link Lauren
Doubt it. I love this. Okay, we needed cameras on Nancy Pelosi immediately. We actually got a picture of Nancy Pelosi. She did not look happy. Okay, Nancy Pelosi. I also don't know who she was sitting with. Was that her nurse? Was that her handler? Was that a number? Was that another elected official? I mean, when you look at Nancy Pelosi also, she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. She looked like maybe she was a little overserved at dinner. But also, when you look at Nancy Pelosi, you just have to realize, okay, a diet consisting of nothing but Pinot Grigio and hatred for Donald Trump can't be good for you. Okay, Nancy, are You well, Are you doing okay, sweetheart? We need a wellness check on Nancy Pelosi because she seems to be really crumbling and melting down. She kind of is like a candle. She's sort of melting. She's melting down. But no, this hatred for Donald Trump, I think it sort of aged her more rapidly. And then she's struggling to form coherent sentences when I see clips of her. So Nancy Pelosi, I'm not sure she enjoyed this call out about insider trading and stock trading for members of Congress and senators, but this is really an 80, 90% issue, actually, right? If we pass this, this is something that will unify the country. You should not be able, as a congressman, to come in and have, you know, a meager salary. A meager salary, let's say, but then end up $20 million richer, $40 million richer. That is unacceptable. So we need to ban insider trading, stock trading from members of Congress. They should be working altruistically. They should be working for their people not to get rich quick, okay? Going into public office is not supposed to be a get rich quick scheme. The last moment that really stood out to me from the State of the Union was Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib sitting there like, thing one and thing two little losers that they are, okay? These two little losers sat there screaming and yelling. They needed their five seconds of attention, their five seconds of seconds of fame. But no, they're two little hucksters, right? The second President Trump brought up fraud, he brought up loving this country. They got really angry. They got really angry because what happens. Hit dogs holler. Hit dogs holler. Okay? And Ilhan Omar, she was fuming when he brought up that fraud, okay? When I look at Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, this is like Sisterhood of the Traveling Scammers, okay? Sisterhood of the Traveling Fraud. Scammers, baby. Y' all are little scammers. Scammers. Ilan Omar, but no, I saw an interview with Mike Johnson afterwards, Speaker of the House, and he spoke about, you know, he was contemplating ejecting them. But then he also thought it's good for the American people to see how much of clowns these people are. He thought, you know, it's actually better the Democrats stay in their seats and make fools of themselves. That way Republicans can make attack ads. The country can see these people for who they really are. I mean, to sit there screaming and yelling and telling the president, you kill Americans. It's just. It's embarrassing. It's just. I don't know any other word to say, but it's embarrassing. The last thing I want to put up, some pictures of President Trump at the State of the Union. I will say President Trump, he looked great. He looked fit. Skin looked good, hair looked good. Hair had some volume. I'm jealous. So President Trump looked great at the State of the Union. It was probably one of his best speeches ever. His own team is online saying this is just one of the best speeches that he locked in. He rehearsed. It was just tacit and clean and he had energy and he was happy. And what I felt about President Trump's speech is there's almost this relaxed feel to it. Right. Like he's not bothered by the Democrats anymore. Right. He's won. He's not running again. He has the majority. He's very much at peace. And it felt like he was content. And I love the red tie. Last year he wore this sort of red and blue tie that looked purple on camera. I was wondering maybe, is he going to wear purple again? He's been doing a lot of purple. He did the red tie. I thought he looked great. The first lady also looked incredible at the State of the Union. And when she put that medal of honor around Royce Williams neck, it was incredible, Incredibly moving. And to recognize some of the work she's done, I mean, if we want to talk about first year accomplishments, take it down, act be best fostering the future. All of her initiatives are incredible. And she's also doing so, so, so much more. And so I love to see that the first lady was also recognized at the State of the Union. I mean, we could do a state of the first lady, right? We could do a whole thing on everything she's done this first year. Reuniting children who are misplaced in the Russia, Ukraine, war. But we got to pay some bills. And then when we come back, we got to talk about Newsom Kamala and Robert De Niro is really spiraling. Ever wake up sweaty, freezing, or just plain uncomfortable?

Well, greasy Gavin Newsom continues to try out new personalities, new life stories. That's what's so fun about being a Democrat. They can just invent entirely new Personas. They can just lie and nobody on their side holds them accountable. I mean, Kamala Harris, remember, she's like, I worked at McDonald's and I did this and I did that and I secured the border and we're going, oh my God. You just let millions of people flood into the country and we can't find record of you working at McDonald's. But Democrats, they can just make up whatever they want. Gavin Newsom, he is no different. So Gavin Newsom, in my opinion, if he's not a sociopath, he has some sociopathic tendencies. I've seen him in person, I've interacted with him briefly in person. But, but I'm very quick and I can read people. And I can tell you Gavin Newsom is not someone that I would ever want to be friends with. I think he's a pretty scary specimen. But now Gavin Newsom is trying to pander to the black community by telling them he can't read. This is the racism of the Democratic Party, right? Gavin Newsom will go sit in front of black people, talk to a black person on a panel and be like, I'm just like you. I can't read. I didn't do well on my SATs. This is how the Democrats talk down to minority groups, right? And it's why you see black people leaving the Democrats, Democratic Party. What do you mean? Black people can't read? But this is what the Democrat mindset is, right? They look down on black people, they look down on Hispanics, they look down on Asian people, but they just try to hide it. They try to hide it. I want to take a look at the clip.
Political Commentator
I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you. You know, I'm a 960sat guy. And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone. You know, trying to act all there if you got 940, but literally a 960sat guy. I cannot. You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
Link Lauren
So Gavin Newsom just told us he can't read. He's not that bright. He can't read speeches, and he wants to be President of the United States. I mean, if he's ever president. They're going to have to do the intelligence briefings as, like, podcasts and audiobooks. Books are gonna have to have someone come in with, you know, big, colorful fonts. I mean, what. What are we gonna do with Gavin Newsom? He has told us he can't read or write. Maybe all that hair gel has soaked into the scalp. You know what I'm saying? But if hair products could soak into the scalp, I probably couldn't read either. So I'm in a glass house on that one. But Gavin Newsom know to go and sit there, and he's even talking to the black person like hooked on phonics. He's like, I'm just like you. I'm one of you. It's like, gavin, Gavin. This is the racism of Gavin Newsom. And all the Democrats, right? Even Kamala Harris, they want to go and pander to black people. And remember Hillary Clinton when she said she had, like, hot sauce in her purse and she loved fried chicken? And it's like, that's all you think black people are. Every four years when we have an election, you go and try to pander to them with these racist tropes and stereotypes. And it's why so many black people are like, we're sick of the Democratic Party. Get someone else to do it. You don't see black people out protesting for ice, right? When we see these ICE protests, it's a bunch of older, white liberal women with, you know, signs they made out of glitter. And, you know, they've got their pink pussy hats on. Sorry if my mom's Bible study is watching for my language. But it's true. I mean, there's a pink pussy hats. You don't ever see black people out protesting now because they're like, we're over it. The Democrats do nothing for us. We're done doing things for them and showing up. Now, Gavin Newsom, a lot of people think he should run with Kamala Harris, but some folks online think he took a dig At Kamala by bringing up her alleged ex boyfriend, Willie Brown. Let's take a look. It's a quick clip.
Political Commentator
And for those that don't know Willie brown, you wouldn't know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown.
Link Lauren
So that could have been a little bit of shade. You guys will have to drop some comments and tell me. I think bringing up someone's ex who has been weaponized against them before in political campaigns and used against them before, bringing that up on stage, on camera is a little bit of a dig. We also know in Kamala's book she said that Gavin Newsom didn't return her calls when Biden dropped out or she got into the race and then they had a back and forth. So I don't think there's a lot of love between Kamala and Newsom. And I think as we get closer to 2028, you'll see them sniping at each other a little bit more. I want to mention something else about Kamala Harris. We have a clip, I believe, of Kamala Harris saying she might run again. She says she might run again. She's that delusional. Let's take a look at that clip. Okay.
Nature's Bounty Advertiser
Will you run again? I haven't decided. You're still thinking about it.
Political Commentator
I might, yeah.
Nature's Bounty Advertiser
That's what I've been saying. That's what I. I closed the book and I'm like, oh, she wants to. She's just thinking about it.
Link Lauren
Kamala, come in close. We are begging you to run for office. If you meant you're running for office, please, please run for office and never change. Okay. You know, Kamala Harris's campaign was 107 days and it was an utter calamity. Imagine if we get like an 18 month campaign. Oh, my God, all the good juice and the sound bites and the screw ups. Kamala, please, please run for office. But when she said she's running, I thought, is she running to the nearest open bar? Is she. Is she running to get a bottle of wine? Is she running to Betty Ford? That's probably where she should be running to because she's slurring and Kamala's like, I might, I might. It's like, why does Kamala Harris talk like Anna Nicole Smith? May she rest in peace. It's like anna Nicole Kama, Kamala Nicole Smith. I mean, why does she talk like that? I mean, Kamala always talks like she's about to be cut off by the bartender. If you notice this, Kamala always talks like, I might run for office if little Dougie Approves. It's like, kamala, please. I also think if Kamala runs her office, she's going to have to answer a little bit more about her husband, Doug Imhoff. You know, he was accused of hitting and slapping a woman so hard she spun around and saw stars. So I think he should have to answer for that, because if this were a Republican, it'd be Getting nothing but 24. 7 coverage. Kamala also, you know, she supported the open border. Now she lives in a house with walls and borders in an alleged gated community. So, Kamala, please run. Please. For my career, I want you to run because it's going to be such incredible content. Switching gears, we have to give you guys a little bit of a Nancy Guthrie update. Savannah Guthrie. She has posted another video and said that she is offering $1 million, a $1 million reward if someone can locate her mother, if they have information. We'll play you the clip in a second. But if you guys recall, I was saying this on day two, on day three, on day seven, we're here at, what, day 25. And so I have the utmost sympathy for Savannah. My heart breaks for her. The whole thing gives me the heebie jeebies, just living in limbo like that. I take no pleasure in watching this. I feel horrible for her. But you waited 25 days, and now. Now that the press has moved on, right? The press isn't covering it 24 7. You've now decided to offer a million. I would have done that when you had all the eyeballs. And I know I got some negativity for that. I got negative comments when I said, she's gotta up the ante, you gotta up the ante. Even Dr. Phil was saying she needs to think of this as a business transaction. But take a look at the clip, and then we'll talk a little bit more.
Nature's Bounty Advertiser
Coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery.
Link Lauren
It's clear Savannah is hurting. I can't imagine what she's going through, what the family is going through. Although maybe the family should be, you know, suspects right now. But Savannah Guthrie, I just would have offered the million dollars earlier. I was screaming it from the rooftops, on X, on YouTube, on the podcast, everywhere. I was saying, why is she not offering more money? Life is a poker game sometimes her chips are up, sometimes they're down. Sometimes you got to cash in, cash out. You got to know what hand you have to play. You might have a good hand, you might have a bad hand. And she had the entire US Media apparatus focused on her. And now that it's moved on, I think that's why she's in crisis mode. And it doesn't give me pleasure to say it, but I think now she's panicking because she had the 247 news cycle. I mean, you couldn't get anything else on cable news. They were cutting into the Olympics. They weren't covering any other stories. Now that people have moved on, after almost a month, she's decided to offer the million dollars. Is that message even going to get to who it needs to get to? I don't know. But we've also uncovered very interesting clip from Savannah Guthrie's memoir. So this memoir came out, I believe, in 2024. And this is in the first chapter of the book where apparently the family would do an annual kidnapping game. Let's take a listen.
Nature's Bounty Advertiser
About once a year in the summertime, Cousin Terry orchestrated a kidnapping of my sister and me. It went down like this. The cousins would visit for a few days at our house in Tucson, and then on the morning they were to leave, Terry would wake us up early, shushing us in the pre dawn darkness. As we made our escape, we would all pile into her rickety station wagon and head north, the sky streaking with bright oranges and pinks as the sun rose over the colorless desert landscape. Somewhere between Phoenix and Tucson, Terry would make a pit stop and let Annie and me call home at a payphone. Mom, Cousin Terry kidnapped us to take us to her house. My mother would feign shock, protest how terribly she would miss us, then assure us she'd drive up to retrieve us in a few days.
Link Lauren
So my family is pretty eccentric, but I've never heard of a kidnapping game. Does your family ever play a kidnapping game where you come and snatch a family member up and drive them to a payphone and do phone calls? I mean, this is very elaborate, right? This is very elaborate. So I don't know about cousin Terry. Maybe we should go check on cousin Terry. Is it a bad idea to go check with cousin Terry because the family would do their annual kidnapping? Like, what kind of family is like, oh, it's time for the old annual kidnapping, you guys. Let's get the ski mask. Masks. I've never heard of a family doing this, but this is in Savannah Guthrie's Book. So obviously it could just be a bizarre coincidence. It could be that the person read the book, right? And they were inspired by it. But it is odd that the mom was kidnapped and snatched in the middle of the night. And this family played an annual kidnapping game in Tucson at that same house. So maybe we should check in on cousin Terry, my next theory. And my friends agreed with this theory. The other night at dinner though, they had finished several bottles of wine. So theory is maybe, maybe cousin Terry and some of the family members came in at 2am for the annual kidnapping game. And maybe Nancy Guthrie just got so shocked she had a heart attack. And they're like, oh my God, what do we do with the body? What do we do? What are we gonna do? Like maybe they came bustling in at 2:00am like, surprise, grandma, it's the annual kidnapping. And, you know, her heart went out or something. And they were like, what are we gonna do? I don't know. Okay. The whole situation is bizarre to me. I've never heard of a family doing an annual kidnapping. It's very creepy. You know, I feel like back in the day they're really teaching stranger danger. Like when Savannah Guthrie would have been that age. I feel like stranger danger and not getting in cars with strangers was what they were teaching. But apparently did they did an annual kidnapping game. I'm thinking cousin Terry and some of the family members, they came in, they were going to grab up grandma Nancy to do the annual kidnapping. She got so startled, had a heart attack. And then they're like, what are we going to do? Almost like the horse and animal house. Did you ever see that movie Animal House where they put the horse in the classroom and when they came back, we know what happened with that horse. So I don't know. We'll be monitoring this situation and we wish the Guthrie's. Well, guys, sleep is important, but it's the one thing I never get enough of.

There are a few actors who've really let Trump derangement syndrome run them into the ground. One of those actors is Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro. He used to to be a legend, an icon, was in so many incredible films. But he's just tarnished his legacy by wading into politics so much. And he's so unintelligent when it comes to politics and just playing into the fear mongering and playing to the lowest common denominator. And we actually have a clip of you guys. He was on Nicole Wallace's podcast, obviously a big MSNBC talking head and he talks about how Democrats have to resist Republicans and neutralize them. Take a look and then we'll talk.
Political Commentator
All I keep saying is that people have to resist. Resist, resist, resist, resist. That's the only way. There's no there's no magic, there's no nothing. People are not going to go away. Even if Trump dies for some reason by having an illness or Something. Parts of that movement are still there, and that's the scary part. It has to be neutralized by the people who say, wait a minute, our rights are being trampled on. We have to stand up, period, Period.
Link Lauren
At first glance, this might seem like some Trump deranged old kook, but listen to the language here. Resist, resist, resist. We have to neutralize them like they're a threat. We have to neutralize Republicans and Trump supporters. He then goes on to say that his rights are being under attack. His rights are under attack. What rights have you lost? This is the fear mongering, right? And they play to this lowest common denominator. You haven't lost any rights, Robert De Niro. But this language is very coded. And when you look at some of these polls, right, about 25% of liberals say that political violence can be justified. And we saw what happened with Charlie Kirk. We've seen what's happened with President Trump. We've seen the way liberals have tried to ram law enforcement officers with their cars. And so when Robert De Niro is saying that we have to neutralize them and we have to resist, he wants a fight, you guys, I don't know how else to put this, but there are millions of Democrats, millions who would be perfectly fine extinguishing Republicans, okay? It's sick, it's disgusting, but they took joy in Charlie Kirk's assassination. They take joy and pleasure when a Republican dies, right? When they say you're a threat to democracy, they believe any means to an end. And Robert De Niro, it seems like, oh, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's just, oh, we have to resist and neutralize. The language is very, very coded. It's very sinister and it's very dark. And he knows, he knows he has not lost any rights, but he has to continue with the fear mongering. That's who Robert De Niro is. So it's sad, it's pathetic. It's almost like a George Clooney, how George Clooney has really gone down with his career. And I think a lot of these celebrities have to realize we don't need to hear from you on politics, right? Just because you're an actor doesn't mean you're in Mensa, doesn't mean you're a genius. But Robert De Niro, this is where he is.

Partisan participation may vary. Not Valerie McD delivery well, speaking of Hollywood celebrities, more and more celebrities are fleeing Los Angeles. Now you guys know how I feel. I think it's A little hypocritical. Some of these celebrities, these Democrats who carry water for the dnc, they say we have to vote blue. We can't vote for President Trump. We have to vote for every liberal failed policy and candidate. But now that those liberal policies have come home to roosters, more and more celebrities are fleeing Los Angeles, they're fleeing New York, they're moving to Florida, they're moving to Texas, Arizona, you name it. And one of those actors is Chris Hemsworth. Now, I like Chris Hemsworth, and I think his reason for moving is more about family. But this plays into this mass exodus we are seeing of celebrities because the film industry, it's not what it was. The film industry has really changed in California. People are making movies in other places because of the taxes, because of the workforce, because of the unions. California, it's become untenable for so, so many people. And California is so beautiful, have so many friends from California. But it's sad to see what's happening. It's because of the leadership, Gavin Newsom's leadership. So Chris Hemsworth, he's called his move away from Hollywood to the Australian outback the greatest decision he's ever made. He and his wife move the family back to Australia onto a big farm where the kids have room to explore. I love this. I think more and more kids to get outdoors, get off their cell phones, get off a tick tock. I love TikTok, I'm a tick tocker, but I think the kids got to get out there and play. They got to get in the dirt, they got to run around. My, my brother used to love just digging holes. He'd come home from school and he would be stressed. When he was 10 years old, he would just dig holes in the backyard. Right. I think more and more kids need to get out there because they're getting sucked into the phones. And then especially you have these kids like Kim Kardashian's daughter. Nor some of these kids are growing up so fast. They're 12 years old. They're dressing like they're 25. They're dressing like prostitutes. They're wearing like bustiers and high heels and getting piercings. And I think it's smart to move your kids to the Australian outback to a farm where kids can be kids. And I, you know, I even worry about the kids in New York City where I used to live. Some of these kids who are in more urban areas, right, they don't have even access to parks. Right. They don't even have places to go play. And run around and get that physical activity, you know, and all that stamina. And so I love to see more celebrities moving out of California. I think it's a mixture of the politics, the culture, the leadership. He also talks about the paparazzi and all the trappings of living in Hollywood. So when he says trappings, I think he understands. If I want my kids to be grounded in any way, they can't grow up where dad's this big movie star and billion dollar films. I think living on that farm, living in the Australian outback is beautiful. I'm actually jealous of it right now. I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. Chris Hemsworth, if you want to adopt me, I will come to the farm. Farm for about two days. I was going to say something real off color, but I won't. So anyway, Chris Hemsworth, I'm happy to see that he has left California. And I want to hear from you guys because this generation of young kids, teens, tweens, adolescents, they're not getting out there and playing. They're not getting out there and playing. Right. Each generation is playing outside less and less and less. And we have chronic disease epidemic. So many young people with childhood diabetes. Young people aren't learning to socialize because they're on technology all day. And so I love that they've moved to the farm. I want to see more people doing this. And I'm going to continue to pray for California. Well, my friends, thank you so much for tuning in to Spot on with Link Lure and we absolutely love you. I can't wait to read all of your comments.

Date: February 25, 2026
Host: Link Lauren (MK Media)
In this episode, Link Lauren delivers unfiltered, tongue-in-cheek commentary on a particularly chaotic week in U.S. politics and culture: Democrats’ State of the Union antics, Hollywood’s descent into political activism, Gavin Newsom’s eyebrow-raising “I can’t read” moment, Kamala Harris’s ongoing image woes, and Robert De Niro’s incendiary language about opposing Trump supporters. Link weaves irreverence, frustration, and humor throughout, offering both cultural critique and political analysis that’s as biting as it is entertaining.
Utter Calamity of the Week
"You don't just have these freedoms and liberties in the United States. We have them because people fought for them." – Link Lauren (01:31)
“They sat there like little, nasty, petulant children. And that's who the Democrats are.” (05:29)
“Going into public office is not supposed to be a get rich quick scheme.” – Link Lauren (07:37)
"Hit dogs holler." – Link Lauren (08:21)
“It's actually better the Democrats stay in their seats and make fools of themselves.” (08:44)
"If he's ever president, they're going to have to do the intelligence briefings as, like, podcasts and audiobooks." – Link Lauren (14:35)
"Robert De Niro…he’s just tarnished his legacy by wading into politics so much." – Link Lauren (26:30)
"There are millions of Democrats, millions who would be perfectly fine extinguishing Republicans, okay? It's sick, it's disgusting..." (28:40)
“Why don’t you just show up for the State of the Union?…These are overgrown theater kids…” (03:21)
“A diet consisting of nothing but Pinot Grigio and hatred for Donald Trump can’t be good for you.” (06:41)
“I'm just like you. I can't read. I didn't do well on my SATs. This is how the Democrats talk down to minority groups, right?” (13:10)
“Listen to the language here. Resist, resist, resist. We have to neutralize them like they're a threat.” (27:39)
“California is so beautiful…but it’s sad to see what’s happening. It’s because of the leadership, Gavin Newsom’s leadership.” (31:51)
Link Lauren closes with characteristic thanks and humor, inviting ongoing listener interaction and nudging the community aspect of his audience:
“It feels like we're really a family... So thank you guys so much for tuning in. And if you're listening to us on Sirius XM, thank you, thank you, thank you.” (35:04)
For anyone seeking a spirited, opinionated, culturally connected take on the week in politics and entertainment, this episode delivers—barbs, banter, and all.
