Well, my friends, welcome back to Spoton with Link Lauren, a show where we're gonna break down the calamities of Hollywood, the circus of Washington, and everything in between. I have to start off by saying how grateful I am to all of you for tuning in to our first episode. On Monday, we hit number five on the Apple Top Podcast chart, which is absolutely incredible. I never try to hide my excitement or gratitude. Thank you all for tuning in. I want to continue earning your trust and putting in the work to make this the best show we can. All I want to do is be a voice of common sense and deliver the news in a way that's fact based and entertaining. And for some reason, in this crazy world we're living in that is somehow novel and shocking, we've got a great show lined up for you today. I'm going to skip the pleasantries. We have to talk about Biden's decline in this new bombshell book that's coming out ironically written by the people who covered for his decline. President Trump's living his best life in the Middle East. This week we're also gonna talk about Health and Human Services, RFK Jr, my former boss, and of course, some Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. So without further ado, let's dive right in. Well, we have to start off by talking about this new book that's hit the Democrat Party. It's called Original Sin. A very biblical title, goes back to Adam and Eve, the eating of the apple. This book is written by Jake Tapper. You might know him as Fake Tapper from cnn. He's writing this book about Joe Biden's decline, which is ironic because he was one of the people pushing propaganda to cover up for Joe Biden, all of these people are hypocrites. Now in this book they say they have about 200 anonymous sources. We spoke to 200 people for this book Original Sin about the COVID up of Joe Biden. I think this is a bunch of BS. The 200 people, the Democrat operatives, the people working in the Biden administration, they were the ones going out there on TV and saying President Trump is a threat to democracy. If President Trump gets back in, the country's going to come to an end. Well, turns out you guys had a threat to democracy in the Oval Office, having a brain dead President Joe Biden was a threat to, to democracy. Now we're going to dive into all the excerpts from this book. It's not out until next week and unfortunately I'm going to have to read the book and break it down for you guys. I hate to give them my $20, but I'm a martyr. I do it for you. Now someone who is quoted in this book is a person very close to Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party. He was an Obama campaign advisor. He actually ran the Obama campaign. Then he was a senior adviser in the White House for eight years under Barack Obama. His name is David Plouffe. David Plouffe. Nobody knows how to pronounce it, but David Plouffe is quoted in the book talking about Kamala Harris and how they blame Joe Biden for Kamala Harris's loss. We actually have a quote so right here. David Plouff said it's all Biden. He totally F'd us. And I'm not gonna use the F word right now. I might save that for later into the show. But David Plouffe is blaming Joe Biden for Kamala Harris's loss. So Joe Biden staying in is apparently the reason Ms. Kamal, amity, utter calamity. Kamala Harris lost her 107 day campaign. I call a bunch of BS on that as well. Kamala Harris lost the election fair and square. In fact, I don't think it really mattered. If it was Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, they could have had a perfect Democratic candidate and the person probably still would have lost because this was Trump's moment. This was President Trump's comeback to the White House. And you also can't skirt around the fact that the Democrat policies and the Democrat track record were absolutely terrible. The Democrats had open borders for years. They had wars around the world, sky high inflation. They wanted men and women's sports. They weren't in lockstep with the majority of the country. The Democrats continue to come down on the 20% of all of these 80, 20 issues, even when you look at a New York Times IPSIS poll from six months ago, right around the inauguration. That poll said a majority of Americans were. Want to deport violent criminals. A majority of Americans support mass deportations. But these Democrats, they want to fight to keep illegal migrants in the country. And they have also forgotten about middle America. All of these elite Democrats, they like to fly between Los Angeles and New York and look down on the rest of the country with scorn and disgust. And those people, those of you watching this show right now, you are the backbone of the United States of America. And the Democrat Party forgot about you. So the Democrat policies, that is why you. You guys lost. It didn't help that you had Kamala Harris, who was an absolutely terrible candidate, but you lost because your policies were not popular. Now, Kamala Harris herself, right? She ran a terrible campaign. I actually think it's insane that he's trying to blame Joe Biden for Kamala Harris's terrible campaign. I mean, this woman went 40 days without doing an interview. If you know you got 100 days, are you going to spend 40% of it sitting at home and hiding out? And. And I think they knew the truth about Kamala Harris. I think they knew. The more time you spend watching Kamala Harris, the more time you see her in interviews, the less you trust her, because she is a cackling hyena who speaks in word salads, and she does not instill confidence in anybody. That is Kamala Harris, right? I wouldn't trust Kamala Harris to babysit my dog, okay? The woman, to me seems like a drunk, okay? Kamala Harris, she wakes up each morning and her breakfast is a bottle of aspirin because she was probably downing a box of wine the night before. Kamala Harris also had an opportunity as vice president to really prove herself. She was put in charge of the border back in January of 2021. I don't care how she wants to slice it and dice it. She was the border czar. And she only went down to the border for about 12 minutes, and she had a $65,000 necklace on the. This is Waspy Kamala Harris, attorney General from California. That is why you lost Kamala Harris. It's just going. There's no way going around it and saying that it was Joe Biden's fault, because, Kamala, you were terrible and you had unpopular policies. And they're also trying to say, well, we had too short of a timeframe. Joe Biden stayed in way too long. We didn't have enough time to introduce Kamala Harris to the American people. I call a flag on the play as well because she hid out for 40 days. We actually have a tweet. We have a tweet. There's so much news breaking today. My printer has been going crazy all morning. We have a tweet from senior advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller. You might know him. He's incredible. He's all over tv. He's very, very, very strong on immigration. And strong is an understatement. So we have a tweet from Stephen Miller talking about David Plouffe statement. So here's what he had to say. One of the big lies we've seen spreading around from the Democrat campaign pros, also David Plouffe, is that Kamala was somehow disadvantaged by. By having a shorter campaign. This was actually her single biggest advantage. As if planned from the beginning. It's what allowed the media to build a completely fictitious Kamala while sheltering her away from all scrutiny. That's what I was saying. They hid her out for 40 days. The woman was in hiding. Okay, what campaign? What the hell was Kamala Harris doing? Was she drying out? Was she detoxing at Betty Ford? Where the hell were you for 40 days? Kamala Harris. Remember the delusional fawning coverage of her convention, her debate? Remember the nonstop pro Harris media psyop and reinvention? Had she been forced to run a long campaign against Trump, she would have topped out at 100 electoral votes. I have to tell you, I wholeheartedly agree with Stephen Miller, senior adviser to the president. Kamala Harris lost all on her own and saying she didn't have enough time. I actually think that was a bonus for. For Kamala Harris. Now we have to move on a little bit. I want to play you some clips just to go down memory lane to look at how terrible Kamala Harris was and how uncouth Kamala Harris was, how unintelligible many of her statements were. So we have this clip. You guys might know it. Take a look. Everything is in context. My mother used to.
- [09:08]
Jake Tapper
She would give us a hard time.
- [09:10]
Link Lauren
Sometimes, and she would say to us.
- [09:11]
Jake Tapper
I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree.
- [09:18]
Link Lauren
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you. It gets worse. We also have a clip of Kamala Harris talking foreign policy in Israel. Roll it. Try not to gag. Well, Bill.
- [09:37]
Jake Tapper
The work that we have.
- [09:38]
Link Lauren
Done has resulted in a number of.
- [09:43]
Jake Tapper
Movements in that region by Israel that.
- [09:45]
Link Lauren
Were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region. Now, I also have to point out that was the edited version. 60 Minutes edited her to make her look better. Because so many of these shows, so many of these networks, they are basically Democrat Party members, mouthpieces. They are going to push propaganda for the Democrat Party, and that is what they did. So looking at that edited version of Kamala Harris, she was still terrible. Who wants Kamala Harris in charge of the nuclear codes? Like I said, I don't think she should even be teaching driver's ed. I don't think she should be opening a jar of pickles. Kamala Harris, because she is that unintelligent. I think Kamala Harris should go do a reality show. She should maybe go on Big Brother. She should go on the Real World. I don't know, maybe go right off into the sunset with Dougie Imhoff. But Kamala Harris should be nowhere near the nuclear codes and presidential politics ever again. Now, one of the other bombshells in the book Original Sin by Jake Tapper has to do with the fact that there were discussions around Joe Biden being in a wheelchair. We actually have a post we're going to put up on the screen. So there were discussions about Biden having to use a wheelchair in his second term. They actually wanted to put him in a wheelchair sooner than but they didn't want to push him around during the campaign. We have a clip of Jake Tapper discussing this. Take a look.
- [11:14]
Jake Tapper
So the White House physician, Dr. Kevin O' Connor, was telling White House aides that President Biden's deterioration of his spine, the degeneration was so significant that if he fell one more time that he might have to be in a wheelchair and serve in a wheelchair for his second term term. But everybody pushed off the notion that he used a wheelchair until after the election. This is all part of a larger hole where the Biden White House tried to hide the extent of his deterioration, both physical and cognitive, as much as possible.
- [11:51]
Link Lauren
Now, I find this very rich coming from Jake Tapper when he never really asked Joe Biden about his cognitive decline. In fact, we were all told that not to believe our eyes. I remember back in 2019 watching the primaries and thinking, joe Biden doesn't look like he's in good shape. Maybe it's time for some new blood in the Democrat Party. But they rammed and jammed him through with the basement campaign they kept him hidden away because of the lockdowns. They never let him go off script, and they just rammed and jammed him down our throats and we were stuck with a disaster for four years under Joe Biden. That is what the Democrat Party did. We also have a clip of, of Jake Tapper pushing back on Lara Trump in 2020 when she tried to bring up his cognitive decline. Roll it.
- [12:36]
Jake Tapper
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?
- [12:43]
Link Lauren
First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage.
- [12:49]
Jake Tapper
With Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.
- [12:54]
Link Lauren
That's what I'm referring to. To. It makes me uncomfortable. You have.
- [12:57]
Jake Tapper
You are so amazing. It's so amazing to me that. And try and figure out an answer. Cognitive decline. You're trying to tell me that what.
- [13:05]
Link Lauren
I was suggesting was I think you.
- [13:08]
Jake Tapper
Were mocking his stutter. I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
- [13:15]
Link Lauren
I don't care if it's a stutter. I don't care if they wanted to put Joe Biden in a wheelchair. His policies were terrible. But for the American people, if Joe Biden were in a wheelchair, but his policies were amazing, he was knocking it out of the park. Inflation was down, the border was secure. We didn't have war in Ukraine, we didn't have war in the Middle East. I would have said, you know what the guy is doing? Well, who cares if he's in a wheelchair? There are some of you watching this who might be in a wheelchair. I have a close friend who's in a wheelchair. I don't care about anybody being in a wheelchair. I care about the fact that he was a disaster as president. And we were all told not to believe what was happening with our own eyes. And to circle back to what I said earlier, the 200 anonymous sources, these wimps in the Democrat Party who would not go on record, they wouldn't even say anything at the time they went out there. They said Trump was a threat to democracy. He was Mussolini, he was Hitler, he was a Nazi. They are to blame for what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13 when Thomas Crooks got up onto a roof in broad daylight and took a shot at President Trump. Those people on TV calling him a threat to democracy. They're now quoted in this book saying they knew Biden was in decline in years ago, that was a threat to democracy. The fact of the matter is I trust President Trump at three in the morning if there's an emergency. I would not trust Joe Biden at 3 in the morning to get down to the Situation Room and handle a crisis. I just wouldn't. And I don't think you would either. Now, another, another person who's back in the news right now is George Clooney. And to tell you how fragile these celebrity egos are, George Clooney, he pinned an op ed about Biden's decline or way too late, he didn't want to do it sooner. And now he's coming out and saying he realized Biden was in decline when Joe Biden did not recognize him. So I'm here to tell you, if Joe Biden had recognized George Clooney, I don't think he would have written the op ed. I think it would have thought, the guy's in great shape, he's doing fine, his brain is perfectly high functioning. But because he did not recognize George Clooney, George Clooney just took him to the mat, wrote an op ed, tried to push him out of the race. And that's how I felt. He years ago, I remember two years ago posting videos and saying, if the Democrats want Joe Biden out, they are going to have to pummel him and pound on him because they are going way too easy. Everybody talks about Joe Biden like he's the sweet little nice grandpa. He's a nice grandpa who wouldn't even recognize his 67 year old granddaughter in Arkansas named Navy Roberts. Her mother, London Roberts, had a baby with Hunter Biden and they wouldn't even put a stop stocking up for the child that is the Biden family. But the Democrat Party is a cult. They do not allow dissension, unlike maga, unlike the Republican Party, unlike the independents, unlike Maha, they can have open debates in the public square. But the Democrat Party, you're either with us or you're against us. And no Democrat had the balls to go out there on, to go out there on TV and really call out Joe Biden. There is one person, Dean Phillips, who tried. And I spent a full day with Dean Phillips in New Hampshire. I'm here to tell you he didn't have what it takes to, to really push the line. If Dean Phillips went out there and just called Biden out, he would have turned into a folk hero. Donors would have poured in. But Dean Phillips, I remember he called Joe Biden a threat to democracy, something like that. He called him a threat to democracy and then he Quickly walked it back. If he had stuck to his guns and really gone down that road, I think he would have caught some traction. Now there's someone else to blame for Joe Biden staying in the race. And that has to do with the disgusting Jill Biden. I think Jill Biden, Dr. Jill is absolutely disgusting. And I'm not talking about her clothes, I'm not talking about her dresses. But there is no one more power hungry than Jill. And we have to also throw in Hunter Biden. But Jill Biden, she was the one pushing and pushing and pushing her husband to stay in because she didn't want to go home. She didn't want to go back to the private sector. She didn't want to have to work. They wanted to dine out on our tax dollars. She wanted to ride on Air Force One. She was sitting behind the desk on Air Force One. She was behind. Joe Biden sat at the head of the table in cabinet meetings. So people saying, oh, President Trump has some of his family around, his kids come to visit him. Jill Biden was ostensibly running the country for four years, pulling the puppet strings. Also, all of these unelected bureaucrats who are pulling the puppet strings the last four years. Yeah, I want an investigation into them, too. I want a referendum to. You guys aren't off the hook because you did some little anonymous sources in this book. We also have to show you some clips. Take a look.
- [17:42]
Jake Tapper
Making sure that we continue to strengthen our health care system, making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the, with the COVID Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with. Look, if we finally beat Medicare. Thank you, President Biden. President Trump. Well, he's right. He did beat Medicaid. Beat it to death. And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we can do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers. President Trump, I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either.
- [18:30]
Link Lauren
That night was an unmasking for the unelected bureaucrats around Joe Biden, for Joe Biden and the entire administration. We saw in plain sight and that June 27 debate. Joe Biden was not well. In fact, he was an absolute disaster. They tried to tell us that Joe Biden had a cold. Joe Biden had the sniffles. He needed some nyquil. He needed some dayquil. I'm sorry, I have A cold right now. I can still form coherent sentences. I'm here to tell you, if that is a cold, if all it takes is a cold to knock out the President of the United States, then he should not be president. And that's how I felt at the time, telling us, well, Joe Biden's under the weather. That's why he can't form sentences. Well, you know what? He shouldn't be in the Situation Room. He shouldn't be sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office if a cold is going to knock him off his game. President Trump is the Energizer Bunny. President Trump does not stop. But Joe Biden, a cold, apparently, that's what they were blaming his debate performance on. He was also on the View recently with his wife, Jill Biden, discussing his poor debate performance. Take a look.
- [19:32]
Jake Tapper
And I had a very. I'm going to say something outrageous. I've not lost many debates in my life. I've been pretty good at doing that. I was sick. I was no excuse, but I was not. It's an explanation. And I had a bad, bad night. Joe came on, I went onto the stage after the debate. I mean, we all saw it. It was terrible. And so Joe looked at me and he said, I, well, I'll use screwed up. He said, he didn't say that. And I said, we all know Joe Biden.
- [20:03]
Link Lauren
We know what he said.
- [20:04]
Jake Tapper
And I said, yeah, you did, Joe, but we have hundreds of people waiting for us. Put your shoulders back. Walk out there.
- [20:10]
Link Lauren
The fact that they are still trying to explain that poor debate performance that we all saw with our own two eyes is absolutely crazy, ridiculous. But this is what the elite Democrats do, and it's what they've done the last four years. And it's what Jake Tapper has done. It's what Alex Thompson has done, who's also writing this book with Jake Tapper. They have tried to gaslight us. They tried to gaslight us and tell us Joe Biden was this perfectly spry whippersnapper. He's doing cartwheels and hopscotch and jumping on a pogo stick in private. Jill Biden, she basically said the guy was viral and strong. I'm here to tell you, give that man one Viagra. He's six feet under. He's. He's dead. He's a goner. So, Joe Biden, you lied. Hunter Biden, you lied. Jake Tapper, you lied. Elite Democrats, you lied. All of you lied to us. And none of you should be able to work in presidential politics ever again. And Karine Jean Pierre, Ms. Binder, who had no answers for anything the last four years. She carried the most water for him. And she came out a few weeks ago and said she barely spoke to the man that is a threat to democracy. We had war in Ukraine, we war in the Middle east. All of these major 21st century issues, and Joe Biden was asleep most of the time. You all are disgusting. I will never forgive the Democrats who did this. I will never trust the mainstream media and these people writing this book. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If you really cared about this country, you would have said all of this four years ago. All of these people who work in the administration, I'm not sure if you guys are aware. If you take a job in the presidential administration, you also have to put your hand up and take an oath or put your hand on the Bible someone swears you in. You take an oath to this country. You don't take an oath to Joe Biden. You don't take an oath to the DNC and all these billionaires. You took an oath to us. And all of you lied and covered for him. It's absolutely disgusting. And the fact that you would go out there and say that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy when you had a man whose brains were basically mashed potatoes and you were just keeping it quiet because you wanted a paycheck, I will never forgive you. So, all of you Democrats, I am still coming for you, and I'm going to have my foot on your necks the next four years. And all of us, we are much more savvy than we used to be. We have social media, we have other platforms, we have podcasts, we have TikTok, we have X, we have Instagram. We are going to be holding you accountable if we feel you are lying. None of you journalists should be trusted ever again because you covered for Joe Biden. And the last thing I will say is this. There was very credible reporting that in 2017, some of his own family members said, you should not run. Right? You are not in good shape. Allegedly. They told him, you know what? You lost your son. You're not doing well. But they rammed and jammed Joe Biden through. There were also journalists in the White House press poll, which we found out later in New York Magazine. There were journalists in the White House press pool who could not understand or make out what Joe Biden was saying in private settings. They would travel with Joe Biden to a private fundraiser with 12, 15 people. The man would have to use a teleprompter to speak to 12 or 15 people when he's supposed to be some political genius who's been around for five decades. So he's using a prompter. And the White House press pull, the traveling pool under Joe Biden. They are supposed to supply transcripts of the conversation and what the President says. They were not putting almost anything in the transcripts. They were putting, we couldn't understand him. We. We couldn't hear him. These journalists were not really telling us at the time they couldn't hear the president. They couldn't understand him in a room with 12 people. Why was that not on every major network? It's because the folks at CNN and MSNBC wanted to paint Donald Trump as the boogeyman. Right? They were so scared of being critical of Joe Biden because they didn't want to send President Trump back to the White House. Well, you know what? President Trump still won all the lawfare. The mugshot in Fulton County, Fannie Willis, that whore, all of it backfired. All of the negative press backfired. And it just made President Trump stronger. I remember those 34 felony counts in the Stormy Daniels case. The 34 felony counts. Like we're supposed to care what Stormy Daniels was doing back in 2006. All of that made President Trump shoot up in the polls because Americans saw that the Democrat Party was absolutely corrupt. They saw the mainstream media was corrupt. They saw that the Biden administration and these elite Democrats were weaponizing the Justice Department to try to take out their political opponent when nobody should be above the law. So all of you Democrats, you're disgusting for being quoted in this book and keeping your mouths shut. I think we've exhausted this topic for now. We're going to have a lot more to say as this book is released. I think it comes out next week. I'm sure there will be more bombshells, but the overarching theme here is, all of you lied to us, and now you want to cash in when it's convenient. And there are folks like me and folks like you who are getting deplatformed, having videos taken down, getting raked over the coals when we were saying, you know what? Biden doesn't look like he's in good shape. We were being attacked. There were shows I couldn't get booked on because I was so tough on Joe Biden. Well, you know what? I have my own show now. And we're going to be speaking the truth every day from here on out. Now we've got to pay some bills. Coming up. We got to do some ads, but we're also going to talk about the Duke and and Duchess of Scamalot, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

They're back in the news for something that's absolutely ridiculous. It's one of the dumbest, most inane, silly, stupid stories I have heard in years. But it underscores a major theme about these two little hucksters. So there's this new book coming out. It's called yes Ma' Am the Secret Life of Royal Servants by Tom Quinn. It's about the royal family. It's about the royal staff, and in the book they discuss the fight between Princess Catherine and Meghan Markle around the bridesmaids dresses at the wedding. Now, most of you who have a life, you you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, but if you're into the royal family, you absolutely will. So there is a story years ago, Did Meghan Markle make Kate cry? Did Kate make me Markle cry? Because there was a discussion over the Dresses the bridesmaids were going to wear, the flower girls, and the whole wedding in 2018 of Meghan Markle. Now, this also would not have ever seen the light of day if Meghan Markle hadn't gone on Oprah and done a tell all interview where she shanked her family. The fact that we are still talking about these stupid dresses years later is because Meghan Markle went on Oprah and tried to use it to play the victim. She goes on Oprah and she says, well, Kate made me cry. The reverse happened. Kate made me cry. Well, you know what? The dresses were terrible. We have a clip of Meghan Markle's wedding we'll put up on the screen. Her dress did not even fit. Katy Perry, of all people, came out and said, you know what, Meghan Markle? I would have done another fake fitting. Meghan Markle's dress was falling off. It didn't look right. I'm sorry. Maybe Princess Catherine had some good advice for you, sweetheart. You maybe needed to see a tailor another time because the dresses just weren't working. Meghan Markle, you didn't look that good either. But you also couch yourself as this fashionista, so maybe you should have taken some advice. Now, they also discussed this on Oprah. We have the clip. Take a look. You say the narrative with Kate, it didn't happen so specifically, did you make Kate cry? No. So where did that come from? Was there a situation where she might have cried or she could have cried? No, no. The reverse happened. And I don't say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding. And she was upset about something, but she owned it. And she apologized. And she brought me flowers and a note apologizing. And she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone. Right. To just take accountability for it. What was shocking was what was that six, seven months after our wedding that the reverse of that would be out in the world. Meghan Markle never misses an opportunity to play the victim. The fact that she went on Oprah and was crying and whining about these dresses and these little spats all. Why would the family ever trust you again? And the fact that they're writing a book about it now years later, and the fight between the two women shows you Meghan Markle has a mouth that is way too big. Well, I think we all knew that. People in California have known that for a long time. She was trying to get cast. She was trying to get cast. But Meghan Markle she has a big mouth. Prince Harry did a tell all book, scorching his family as well, talking about arguments with his brother. I'm here to tell you, I'm sure you guys are the same way. There are family members I don't agree with all the time. I would never go on the Internet, go on tv, let alone Oprah, and trash my family and discuss little tiny petty arguments that we had behind the scenes. But Meghan Markle likes to plant these little seeds. You know, like her TV show. She goes around the garden and she plants her little seeds and she lets them grow into a bunch of bs. That is what Meghan Markle likes to do. But nobody who really loves their family goes out there and trashes them. We can even look at the Kardashians, right? The car trashians. Meghan Markle, she's basically trying to turn into a Kardashian, hawking her jams, jellies and dog biscuits. But even the Kardashians, Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, I don't know, the other sisters, they never go out there and discuss their fights. They are mafia. They keep it together, they hold it together. But Meghan Markle, she wants to go out there and discuss little tiny spats over a dress and something that happened years ago, and it's why it's being written about in books today. And I also have to point this out. Meghan Markle tries to play the victim about her wedding. She says she couldn't handle the fight with Kate over the dresses because she was dealing with her father and all the stress of the wedding. I am sure Meghan Markle was stressed. I'm not going to take that away from her. I call it like I see it. I'm sure she was stressed, but I'm here to tell you, she did not have her father at the wedding. She also uninvited her little niece, Ashley. Those of you might remember she had this niece, Ashley, who was going to come to the wedding. Samantha Markle's daughter.

And then Meghan uninvited her. I'm here to tell you Megan did not have her family at the royal wedding in 2018 for two reasons. Number one, she did not think her family was camera ready. Meghan Markle didn't want her dad there. Her dad was too slovenly. He looked like a slob, right? Meghan Markle didn't want to have her dad there because the world and all the cameras are going to be watching. So Meghan Markle didn't want her family because she was embarrassed by the way they looked. And that was, was disgusting. The second thing I have to say is this. Meghan Markle invited all of these celebrities, people she barely knew, to the wedding. She invited Oprah to the wedding, and I don't think they'd even met. She invited David Beckham, all of these big stars, some of the stars were showing up, George Clooney and Amal, they showed up to the royal wedding saying, well, we don't know Megan Markle, but who turns down an invitation to a royal wedding? So when she says she was stressed dealing with her father and her family, we all know why she didn't really want them there. She, she wanted her big fancy new celebrity friends. And she was already thinking, I'm probably going to run off to California and have a second career. I'm probably going to run off and try to abscond back to California. There were also reportings that she was discussing doing a sit down interview with Oprah before the wedding. So Meghan Markle was already plotting to have a discussion with Oprah. And so isn't it interesting that she did about a year after leaving the royal family. So Meghan Markle, all of her friends, if any of Meghan Markle's friends are watching this, do not trust this woman. I don't think I have to tell you, you should not trust Meghan Markle because if you have a private conversation with her, if you have a disagreement, which friends and family have disagreements constantly, she will go out there and talk about it on national tv. It will end up in a book, it will end up in a reality show, it will end up in a blog post. She will also talk to journalists off the record and leak it. That is what Meghan Markle does and it's why we're still hearing about these stupid dresses yesterday, years later. So, Meghan and Harry, I wish you well. I'm sure we'll be back on the next episode discussing you further, but we have to move on. Let me tell you a story about a guy named Leo Grillo. While on a road trip, Leo came across a Doberman. This Doberman was severely underweight and clearly in trouble. Leo rescued that Doberman and named him Delta. Sadly, Delta was just one of many animals that needed help, which inspired Leo to start Delta Rescue, the largest no kill care for life animal sanctuary in the world. They've rescued thousands of dogs, cats and horses from the wilderness. And they provide their animals with shelter, love, safety and a home. This dedication and everlasting love to Animals is Leo's mission and legacy. Delta Rescue relies solely on contributions from people like us. And if you want caring for these animals to be part of your legacy, speak with your estate planner because they are tax saving estate planning benefits, too. You can grow your estate while letting your love for animals live well into the future. Check out the estate planning tab on their website to learn more. And speak with an advisor. We call a dog man's best friend for a reason. You can help those who need it most. So please visit Deltarescue.org today to learn more. That's Delta Rescue.org now all over the news this week. President Trump is living his best life in the Middle East. But before he went to the Middle east, he signed an incredible executive order. That's good for you. It's good for my family. To reduce the cost of prescription drugs. We have a clip. Take a look.

Basically, what we're doing is equalizing. There's a new word that I came up with which I think is probably the best word. We're going to equalize where we're all going to pay the same. We're going to pay what Europe's going to pay. We're going to all pay. Now, there may be some countries in dire need and I would be willing to sacrifice that and help them, but it's called most favored nation. We are going to pay the lowest price there is in the world.

This is incredible news. Now, it was a little bit overshadowed by everything going on on Monday and his trip to the Middle east and all of these traffic trade deals, but the fact of the matter is prescription drugs have been way too expensive in the United States. Anybody with a sick relative, an elderly relative, some of you watching this right now, drop a comment and tell me how this is going to impact your life, because the cost of prescription drugs has been astronomical. So this executive order is a huge step forward. It is something that was incredibly needed. Now, for years, people have said President Trump can be bought. The man can be bought by big Pharma if you write him a check. I'm here to tell you that I don't think anyone can buy President Trump. I don't think he gives a rat's ass. He's going to do what he wants and what he thinks is best for the country. And RFK Jr. Said the exact same thing. We have a clip. Take a look.

Major democratic leader for 20 years been making this promise to the American people. This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. So this was an issue that people talked about, but nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. You couldn't get it by Congress. We now have a president who is a man of his word, who has the courage. President Trump was taking money from the pharmaceutical industry, too. I think they gave you $100 million. But he can't be bought.

President Trump absolutely cannot be bought. The man didn't go through hell and the ring of fire to get back to the White House, to not execute on his vision. When President Trump walked into the White house again on January 20, 2025, after the inauguration, he had a decisive mandate from the American people to make the country better and more prosperous. And this executive order was a huge step in the right direction. Now, President Trump, being the genius, hilarious comedian he is, he really is the consummate entertainer in his past life. He probably should have been a comedian. He had this to say about Ozempic, or as he likes to call it, the fat Shot. Take a look.
- [37:35]
Jake Tapper
I mean, I'll tell you a story. A friend of mine who's a businessman, very, very, very top guy, most of you would have heard of him, highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight. And he takes the fat, the fat shot drug. And he called me up and he said, president, he calls me, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me President. So that's nice. Respect. President, could I ask you a question? What? I'm in London and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take. I said it's not working.

That clip was going absolutely viral. It was trending the last few days. And, and it's because it's also incredibly true. Prescription drugs have been way too high in this country. So thank you, Secretary Kennedy. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you, Dr. Marty Makary. Thank you, Dr. Mehmet Oz, for everything you are doing to help the American people. Now we have to get to President Trump's trip to the Middle East. Let's dive right into it now. If you have been near a TV or a computer the last few days, you have seen Trump living his best life in, in the Middle East. The man is getting fighter jet escorts as he's flying into Riyadh and Saudi Arabia. This probably hasn't happened since 9 11, when President Bush was up in the air. President Trump has fighter jets escorting Air Force One on either side. It is a bad ass sight to see. We have a clip up on the screen right now. The man also had a McDonald's delivered to his hotel in Riyadh. They literally had a mobile. They had a mobile McDonald's. Now, President Trump, he did not have to work at this McDonald's. If you remember, last summer, he, you know, moonlit as a garbage sanitation worker in the truck. He also Moonlit as a McDonald's worker. But President Trump, on this trip, he did not have to work at McDonald's. But they have horses escorting him with flags. They have pageantry, they have pump, they have circumstance. They have camels escorting him. I don't know what's going to happen when he goes to the next country. Are they going to have elephants escorting President Trump, I'm here to tell you, President Trump, I am happy you are living your best life in the Middle East. But, President Trump, please, I am begging you to come home. They are trying to run Kamala Harris again. Pete Buttigieg is in Iowa. He's growing facial hair. Jasmine Crockett, she's actually forming coherent sentences with a subject and a predicate. They're trying to reboot Cheers. But the whole cast is non binary and Afro Latino. They've invented a dozen new pronouns since you've been gone. So. So, President Trump, I'm happy you're enjoying yourself in the Middle east, living your best life, riding around in a golf cart and having people sing and chant for you. I would have a good time, too. But please, President Trump, if this message gets to you, please come home. We miss you here in the United States. Now, I think President Trump is loving the Middle east for a few reasons. Number one, everything is new and shiny. He's going around because he's a real estate developer. President Trump is going around saying, oh, my God, look at this building. This is beautiful marble. Look at this new development. And that's what the Middle east is. It reminds me of Las Vegas a little bit. It's all desert. And they built these new shiny buildings and they're looking for investment right now. I also have to say this. I debated going on this trip to the Middle east with President Trump. But then I looked up the weather for this time of year. I looked up the weather in riyadh. It was 110 degrees Fahrenheit with a UV of 12. An extreme UV. I cannot handle that. My skin, my hair. We will not be going back to the Middle east anytime soon. But I was in the Middle East a few months ago. We have a clip. Let's put it up. Okay. No, in a serious note, that is from Sex and the City too. But the entire Time President Trump is in the Middle East, I can't stop thinking about the girls from Sex and the City going around Abu Dhabi do Abu Dhabi do. Living their best lives in the Middle east as well. Now I also have to get to a few things more serious notes. President Trump is signing these incredible agreements and investment deals while he's in the Middle East. He's going around just signing and signing, signing like he does here in the United States. I'm going to read you a little bit of what he's working on with mbs. Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. So he's signing a $600 billion investment deal for the Saudis to invest in the United States. Then MBS went on stage and he basically implied that they were going to move that up to a trillion dollars. I'm sure the nuts and bolts of that deal are still going to be worked out. But this is a great agreement. A trillion dollar investment in our country is something we could definitely use. We're also over $30 trillion in debt right now. So they also signed $142 billion defense sales agreement. This is the largest in history. So he is over there doing the art of the deal and he's also having a great time because that's what President Trump does. He, he goes around, he has a good time, but he's also getting work done and signing deals. Joe Biden, when he went to the Middle east, the crown prince did not even meet him. They sent some other dignitaries and low level people to meet Joe Biden on the tarmac off of Air Force One. But for President Trump, they rolled out a purple, beautiful red carpet. He also had a purple tie on, which I just thought was genius in chef's kiss. Now, another meeting President Trump had was with the President of Syria. This is a huge deal. Caroline Levitt detailed what they discussed and there were five points. Let me break it down. So they discussed signing on to the Abraham Accords with Israel. They wanted them to tell all foreign terrorists to leave Syria, to deport Palestinian terrorists, to help the United States, to prevent the resurgence of isis, and to assume responsibility for ISIS detention centers in northeastern Syria. Now this is a huge deal. President Trump, they said he was going to bring World War three. President Trump, if he gets back into office, the world is going to come to an end. The man is a peace candidate. He is going around the world trying to find peace because that's better for us. And remember, for years they would say, my God, he's too friendly with Putin. He's Too friendly with this guy. Having good relations with these world leaders is good for us. We also have a clip from President Trump's speech at this investment summit talking about peace. Take a look.

As I said in my inaugural address, my greatest hope is to be a peacemaker and to be a unifier. I don't like war.

Now, while President Trump was in the Middle east, we also got some new inflation data. The Democrats said President Trump, his tariffs, they're going to tank the economy. Everything's coming to an end. The S&P 500 is shooting up and up and up. And we also have this new inflation data. Let me read it to you right now. So US inflation for April comes in at 2.3%, lower than predicted for the third straight month and lowest since 2021. Groceries see the largest decline in five years. Egg prices fell 12.7% in April, the biggest drop since 1984. Gas is down. Turns out all we needed was a new president. To quote President Trump, all we needed was a new president. So he's over there, he's securing trillion dollar investments from the Saudis into the United States. Inflation is coming down and eggs are coming down. And we're only about four or so months into the presidency. May 20th will be four months. This guy hit the ground running. He's also put an incredible team around him. And I'm not just talking about the Cabinet. I have to give kudos and a shout out to everybody working with President Trump. Caroline Levitt, the entire team traveling because they have not slept. They're going for 30 hours, 40 hours, 50 hours, going, going, going, because this is the golden age of America. I don't know what they're running on. Coffee. If they're running on patriotism. They probably just bleed red, white and blue. But they are over there in the Middle east just going and doing what they can. But President Trump, we need you to come home. Now, this final thing I want to bring up really tells you how much of a peace candidate President Trump is. So after his huge speech at this investment summit, he comes off stage and they are playing YMCA by the Village People. Now, when he came on stage, they were playing Lee Greenwood's God Bless the usa. But when he finished the speech, they were playing YMCA by the Village People. Now, President Trump is the only person who could play a gay anthem in the Middle east and have the people up out of their chairs going, ymca. It's fun to stay at the Y. Like, literally, these people are in the crowd in Riyadh dancing to the Village People. I don't think the Village People is probably on the Saudis plate playlist very frequently, but that tells you who President Trump is. He has them playing YMCA in the Middle East. He's having the time of his life on this tour. But President Trump, we can't wait for you to come home. The last thing I want to discuss is this because we'll probably get to it in the next episode. There are discussions right now about this peace deal in Turkey. Putin and Zelinsky from Russia and Ukraine, they're supposed to meet up in Turkey and discuss ending the Russia Ukraine war. There's pressure on President Trump to go and visit the peace deals. He says he doesn't think Vladimir Putin will show if he doesn't show up himself. But they're already sending Marco Rubio. I do not think President Trump should go to this deal in Turkey. He should come home. Unless, unless there is a chance to actually end the war in Ukraine. If President Trump goes and the war does not end, I don't think that's a good look. I also don't think the President of the United States should just jump on when people say to jump. I don't think he should go. I think Marco Rubio should go. That is a very, very high level cabinet official. He is the Secretary of State. So send him over to Turkey for the peace talks because we're all done. And over this Ukraine war, we're tired of sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Zelensky in Ukraine. We are tired of it. Most of us will never visit Ukraine. I have no desire to visit Ukraine myself. Like I said, I'm probably not going to be visiting the Middle east and anytime soon either. But President Trump, he might be going to Turkey for these peace talks. So I'm just precursoring that for the next episode, previewing that for you guys. All right, my friends, that concludes another episode of Spot on with Link. Lauren, thank you so much for tuning in. We will be back on Monday with a whole new episode now. Who knows what could happen by Monday? We could have world peace. Trump could be building a new hotel in the Middle east and have said, you know what, I'm not coming home, you guys. I'm just going to. So I will see you guys on Monday. Thank you also for going to Spotify, going to Apple and giving us five stars. And thank you for leaving so many kind comments. Drop a comment. Tell me what you want us to discuss on this show. I am here working for you guys. Like I said, all I want to be is a voice of common sense. I'm not owned by the rnc, the dnc, any super pac. I am here to call it like I see it and deliver the news in a way that's fact based and entertaining. And. And I'm so grateful for all of you. And I'm so grateful to my team for putting in incredible work on this podcast. It takes a village. Or in my case, the Village People. All right, I love you guys. I'll see you on the next one.
