This is a real good story about Drew, a real United Airlines customer. After almost four years of treatments, I was finally cancer free. My mom's like, where do you want to go to celebrate? I'm like, let's go somewhere tropical. And then pilot hopped on intercom and started talking about me. And I was like, what is going on here? My wife beat cancer, too, and I wanted to celebrate his special moment. That's Bill, a real United pilot. We brought him drinks and donuts. We all signed a card. I was smiling ear to ear. Best flight ever, for sure. That's how good leads the way. For a limited time at McDonald's, get a Big Mac Extra Value meal for $8. That means two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, and medium fries and a drink. We may need to change that jingle. Prices and participation may vary well, my friends, welcome back to Spot on with Link Lauren. If this is your first time tuning in, we welcome everyone from the left, the right, the middle, all across the political spectrum. As long as you have a sense of humor and you're down for a good time time and you like the truth. If you're tuning into us right now, the government here in the United States, it has shut down. The government has shut down. We're going to be discussing that a little bit later in the show. We're going to have to talk about Don Lemon, Ariana Grande, Sydney Sweeney, and American Eagle. Apparently, the cancel culture did not work for American Eagle. Their sales are up, up, and up. And if you guys couldn't tell, I have been hoarse and losing my voice. But one thing about me, I'm not going to cancel a show, okay? As an overgrown theater kid, the show must go on. So this might be the first episod where I'm not yelling into the camera for the entire time, which you guys might enjoy. I got up, I had some chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side. I have my Diet Coke. You guys, I dropped this Coke. If you can't see, I dropped this Coke can and it's all bent and broken, and I'm trying not to cut my lip on the can, but I'm so glad that you tuned in. And without further ado, let's dive right in. Well, the government might be shut down, but we have to crown utter calamity of the week. This is really a calamitous situation. And this goes to none other than Don Lemon. You might remember Don Lemon from his little stint on CNN where he said Women of a certain age were past their prime. Don Lemon has basically proven himself to be a disgusting, feckless, coward, gross man. I'm glad he doesn't have much of a career anymore. I feel like I'm punching down even talking about him. But Don Lemon has gone viral the last few days because he says, something is deeply broken. It's deeply broken inside white men in America. Let's take a look at the clip. Men who look like you, men who vote like you, and men who sound like you, white men. Something is broken. Something is cracked deep inside when so many of you believe the answer to fear, to loss, to change, is violence. Now, this is rich coming from Don Lemon, who has white men deep in him almost every single night. In fact, he probably had a white man inside him about an hour before he taped that. He's married to a white man. My sources tell me his exes are predominantly white men. He only hangs out with white, wealthy people in the Hamptons. Okay, These are his folks. These are his people. This is his tribe. But he continues to go out there and hate on white men. If I were his husband, right? If I were his husband, and my husband is in the other room denigrating white men as a whole, I would be rethinking my relationship. But something tells me maybe they're not spending that much time together. I don't know. If there's trouble in paradise, I can tell you, Don Lemon doesn't seem like a happy guy, because someone who's happy like that isn't lashing out in such gross, divisive ways. So Don Lemon, I really think he's one of the most racist figures on television, or he's not even on television anymore. He's been canceled and sent out to pasture on whatever website he is on. But he can continues to denigrate and tear down white men. And I think what he could be getting at is this despondency among young men as a whole in the country. But it's not just white men. It's black men, Hispanic men, Asian men. There are millions of young men in this country who feel despondent, who feel like the American dream is unattainable. And Charlie Kirk actually knew how to tap into those guys, reach them, bring them into a coalition. And it's why we saw so many young men shift to the right in this last election. If Don Lemon would say that. If Don Lemon could articulate that thought, though I don't think he has the IQ points to do so. If he could articulate that Thought he might be semi respectable. But to go on camera and say, white men, something is broken inside of you. Deep inside of you. And it's rich coming from Don Lemon. I'll also say about Don Lemon, here's my thing. You can be a jerk, you can be an asshole, you can be divisive, but you can't be boring. Okay? Don Lemon is the most boring gay man in media. How are you the most boring gay man in media? I would respect Don Lemon a little bit more if he was interesting to look at or have had something interesting to say. But it's the same old, tired, pedantic playbook we have seen for years. Yes, that's an SAT Word. I hope I used it correctly. But it's the same pedantic playbook we've seen a million times over from Don Lemon. So, Don Lemon, we wish you and all of your white men well at your little house parties you allegedly throw and wish you and your husband well. I just would be rethinking my relationship, right? I'd be rethinking my relationship if I'm the husband and your man is in the other room trashing white folks and every single day. And you're about as white as I am. Speaking of another racist TV personality who has been sent out to retirement because of their horrific appearance on television, we have to talk about Joy Reid. Now, you guys might remember Joy Reid from msnbc. She would go on air every single night and lie and spew this hateful rhetoric mainly toward white folks. Mainly toward white folks. She also just doesn't have her feet planted on the ground. In reality, most of what she said was just cuckoo for cocoa pups. Okay? I also have a bone to pick with Joy Reid because she has been stealing my hairstyle for years. Okay? She's been stealing my hairstyle for years doing the whole blonde situation. I don't know what's going on. Joy Reid. You need to stop calling my hairdresser but Joy Reid. She's also gone viral the last few days because she talks about this fascist agenda growing in the country. Let's look at the clip. If you go back before the 20th century, there were no income taxes. There were no regulations on business. You could earn as much money as you want. Leave 100% of it to your children with no taxes. That's the world they want back. And to get it back, they need society to change. They need people to be less modern. They need people to want fewer things. God forbid we want to pass on generational wealth to our Kids, God forbid. We want all of these good things, okay? Joy Reid, you sound like a buffoon. You sound like an idiot. There's a reason you're not on MSNBC anymore. Do you know how bad ass crazy you have to be to get fired from msnbc? I mean, the fools that they allow on that network. You have to try hard, you have to try really hard to get canceled from msnbc. I don't know how hard that is, okay? She had to try to get canceled, and she was canceled from that network. So, Joy Reid, you sound like an idiot. These are all things that sound good to me. She's saying this is fascism. To want to have generational wealth and not pay a million taxes all the time and have a country that works. How is that fascist? How is that fascist? To have a society that works, it has progress and processes properly. Okay? I also have to say this. What is wrong with wanting to pass on generational wealth to your family and to build that wealth? And nothing is stopping Joy Reid from building generational wealth. Joy Reid, she's the one who got fired because she was that bad. She got fired. No one wants to hire her. I was actually very shocked. Kamala Harris gave Joy Reid an interview for her book, which tells me Kamala Harris was very desperate. Kamala Harris was very desperate. But Joy Reid, she's another one. We're gonna wish her well. Everything she says is fascism. Actually sounds amazing to me. Actually sounds great. If fascism means having a secure border, having taxes that actually go to building our roads and our railways and having planes that work and having clean water and clean food, if that is fascist to you, sign me up, Joy Reid. Sign me up now. Speaking of insufferable women, we have to talk about Rosie o' Donnell now. You guys know Rosie o'. Donnell. She has moved to Ireland. She said she went to Ireland to be with her people. These are my people. I'm over in Ireland with my people with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So that is Rosie o'. Donnell. She's over Ireland because she hates America, basically. And she hates President Trump. She's allowed her hatred for President Trump to allow her to move to a different continent. But Rosie o', Donnell, she's got some bigger fish to fry. Apparently. Her therapist, according to our notes here, even her therapist is confused about why she's so upset with President Trump. Her therapist is like, why are you so crazy? Let's take a look at that clip. When people say, I changed my mind, we have to say, welcome back to reality, let's all be Americans together, right? Because what's happening is not only happening to Democrats, it's happening to everyone. And when the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die. And I don't know, Nicole, how it is that some people cannot see it. My therapist said, why are you so upset? And I said to her, why are you not? Yeah. There is no tougher job on earth than being Rosie's therapist. Okay? There needs to be like a micro Dirty Jobs episode where you have to be Rosie ODonnell's therapist. I don't know how you would even do that job. You have to have the patience of job. You might have to be a little bit crazy yourself. But the fact that, the fact that her therapist is confused with why she is so upset with President Trump doesn't shock me. Because Rosie o' Donnell is basically Trump Derangement Syndrome patient one. She is TDS patient X because she has been there for years trashing President Trump. They have this rapport with each other. She comes at him, he comes at her, but she's really lost it. ROSIE O' DONNELL I mean, she sits on TikTok all day posting these videos trashing the president. You move to a different country. If you move to a different country, go enjoy that country and the splendor of Ireland and being with your people, okay? If you move away from the United States and you're a rich, wealthy celebrity, I don't want to hear from you. I don't need you to opine on all of our issues here in the United States. But that's who Rosie o' Donnell is. Rosie o' DONNELL has this bottomless pit and this desire for attention that is insatiable. Okay? You cannot give Rosie o' DONNELL enough attention. So instead of just enjoying her child, she says she has a teenager or a kid that she's raising that she needs to be present for. She sits on TikTok all day making these videos. That is what Rosie O' Donnell does. She sits on TikTok making videos all day and none of it makes sense. And she also has herpes on her face half the time. She looks like an utter calamity and a disaster. But ROSIE o', DONNELL, we will wish you well. We'll be keeping tabs on this. ROSIE o' DONNELL I have this feeling she will be moving back to the United States very, very soon. Anytime a celebrity says they're fleeing the United States, it is always short lived if they do it at all. So I think Rosie o' Donnell will be coming back because how do you go from living in New York City and going to the theater and living it up and going to fancy restaurants and now living in Ireland? I think we'll see Rosie o' Donnell make a move back very soon. Last but not least, in this segment, we have to talk about Mensa card carrying member Ariana Grande. I'm just kidding. She probably has a second grade education, but she's another one of these rich elite celebrities who wants to chime in on politics here in the United States even though none of the policies affect her, whether it's Republican or Democrat. When you have hundreds of millions of dollars and you live in gated communities, nothing really affects you. But Ariana Grande, she has gone viral as well for doing this post that blast people who voted for President Trump. And I want to read you a little bit of the Post. Okay, I won't read you everything because, you know, we get the gist. She hates Trump. I want to check in with Trump voters. I have one very genuine question. It's been 250 days now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed. What communities have been destroyed now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all. Has your life gotten better? The Post read. Now the White House responded. The White House responded saying, save your tears, Ariana, because President Trump's actions ended Joe Biden's inflation crisis and are bringing in trillions in new investments. He even signed an executive order just like magic that paved the way for the FTC to crack down on Ticketmaster for ripping off Ariana Grande's concert going fans. Get well soon, Ariana. That is, is a response, okay? That is up there with J.K. rowling's response to Emma Watson. I love a classy clapback. Sometimes you have to be classy and just put people in their place. Ariana Grande is one of those people. I don't need to hear from Ariana Grande on the United States of America, okay? Someone who gets sick if they eat one almond. I don't want to hear from you, okay? Ariana Grande, go have a couple of cashews and pistachios and calm down. Have a piece of bread. Relax. You look like you're turning into Skeletor. You look, look a little skeletal to me, okay? So I would go worry about yourself and your health and all of that instead of chiming in and opining on the United States of America. You're also spewing these lies, right? No one's being torn from their families. Communities aren't being ravaged. If you look at all of these polls, actually, President Trump is overwhelmingly popular in every single issue except abortion, right? When it comes to immigration, crime, the economy, he beats the Democrats over and over and over, time and time again. Ariana Grande, because she's living in this sort of liberal elite enclave in Beverly, Beverly Hills, and she lives in Miami. Wherever she lives, she's on movie sets all the time doing Wicked. She doesn't have her finger on the pulse of how the forgotten men and women of this country feel. She doesn't know how real Americans feel about these issues. Right. She doesn't understand how much suffering happened under Joe Biden the last few years. So of course Ariana Grande is going to do posts like this. But Ariana Grande, we hope you will speak with a wider range of Americans. You have fans who love President Trump and you have fans who love Kamala Harris. But if you're going to get political and you're going to wade into these waters, you need to be very well read and understand because you can't be showing up unprepared, okay? You can't bring a knife to a gunfight. If you're one of these celebrities who wants to get all political, you have to understand the issues. You have to understand the polling, the focus groups, how people feel, okay? Because how you feel in a rich neighborhood in Beverly Hills is not how someone might feel in Des Moines, Iowa. You understand what I'm saying? It's not how someone might feel in Pennsylvania, in Michigan and some of these swing states. But because you live in a liberal elite enclave, you wouldn't know that. So Ariana Grande will be tracking this. I actually hope she chimes in more on politics because it's so entertaining. It's like watching a dog walk on its hind legs. Kind of like Kamala Harris. But we got to pay some bills. After we pay some bills, we'll be back discussing the government shutdown. Well, I have to tell you guys about Vandy. Just like clockwork. These are my favorite potato chips. I don't do lays. I don't do these other nasty, disgusting potato chips. I've also converted all of my friends because we don't feel guilty eating Vanity Crisp. Now, let me tell you why. Vanity Crisp has just three ingredients. Heirloom potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef tallow, no seed oils. That tallow is loaded with nutrients for your skin, brain and hormones. And it makes These chips taste unreal. The tallow means you're satisfied without overeating, which makes it the perfect snack. You need to give Vandy a try, so go to vanitycrisp.com link and use code link for 25% off your first order. That's vanitycrisps.com link and code link for 25% off your 1st order. And if you don't feel like ordering online, that's fine. They're also available nationwide at your local Sprout supermarket, so stop by and pick up a bag before they're gone. When it comes to reducing carbon emissions, the heaviest industries face the toughest challenges. That's where we come in. Exxon Mobil is investing in technology to help American industry lower its emissions, including in our own operations, all while empowering businesses and creating job opportunities. It turns out that fewer emissions can mean a stronger economy. ExxonMobil, let's deliver. Well, Wednesday morning at 12:01am Eastern, the government shut down. It was sort of like waiting for Y2K. They thought all the computers were going to crash. The world was going to come to an end. It actually was very anticlimactic at home. I'm sort of waiting up for something to happen. It's like waiting for Godot. And then nothing happened. So this is the first time the government has been shut down since 2019. It is a big deal because people won't be able to get paid. They might get some back pay later on down the line, but there are some institutions and some mechanisms, mechanisms of government that won't be working properly while the government is shut down. But this is what the Democrats want. The Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they're willing to shut down the government to continue giving illegals health care, right? I don't want people who waltzed into the country illegally to have benefits that I pay my taxes for, okay? We have enough issues here in this country, okay? We have roads that need to be repaved. We have people who are sicker than ever. I don't want illegals who are, who came in, did not go through the process getting health care. Now the Democrats, they have this new lie where they say, this is not illegal aliens. This is just asylum seekers and refugees. You can call it whatever you want, okay? If you give the Democrats an inch, they're going to take a mile. I know how these things work. It's a tale as old as time. The Democrats are going to take it and give all your money to illegal migrants. We saw Under Joe Biden, they were putting migrants on buses, putting them up in hotels with cash cards and food and cell phones and stipends. I don't want to deal with that, okay? I'm not going to be paying for that with my tax dollars. I have enough bills to pay. And so I'm happy that the Republicans are sticking to their guns and the Democrats. You guys look like clowns. I think the overarching issue here as well that we're seeing with the government shutdown, for the first time since 2019, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they've basically capitulated to the far left extreme Marxist corners of the Democratic Party, okay? They have no interest in coming to the middle. They have no interest in being centrist whatsoever. That's not a little Dr. Seuss. We have no interest in being centrist. My raindrops and gumdrops. So, no, they have no interest in being centrist and coming to the middle. And so Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, they don't actually care about illegals. They don't care about these women running across the border with their babies. They don't give a rat's ass, okay? Chuck Schumer is some wealthy guy from New York, okay? He is a swamp creature. If you think he actually cares about anything but himself, you're joking. But this is the Hill they've decided to die on. They actually went to go meet with President Trump, okay? They went to go meet with President Trump the other day in the Oval Office to try and have some meeting of the minds. What can we do to not have a shutdown? Now, of course, both parties know the shutdown probably imminent. The shutdown is probably imminent. But President Trump being the troll master, okay, he brought out some Trump 20, 28 hats to try and gift to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. He thought, you know what? They might enjoy these Trump 2028 hats. If y' all are going to shut down the government, at least you can shut down the government and style. You know what I'm saying? You can shut down the government in style. I think he needs to bring out Trump 2032 hats. Trump 2036 hats. I think he really needs to get their goat, okay? And what's interesting about President Trump, he used to be friends with Chuck Schumer. He's known Chuck Schumer for decades. He knows Chuck Schumer is playing the game. Chuck Schumer doesn't care about these illegals and these migrants and this health Care and all of that. He's just capitulating to the far left and section of his party. That's what he's doing right now. But I love this trolling. President Trump, you know, we like to do a little bit of trolling. We do a little bit of trolling. I thought this was incredible. These pictures were also taken, of course, by the chief White House photographer, Daniel. We use his pictures all the time. So thank you for the pictures. But I loved this trolling. I love the situation. Now, J.D. vance, Vice President J.D. vance was asked about this trolling in the hats this morning on the news. Let's take a look at that clip. The Trump. Trump trolling him with 28 hats. Yeah. Thank you, Laura. That's the most important part. There are also the Trump 20, 28 hats, which I think made the majority or the minority leader in both the House and the Senate very uncomfortable. But look, it was the four of them, plus me and the president, and we were having a very good conversation about health care policy. But the president finally sort of threw up his hands and said, guys, let's absolutely work on this health care policy disagreement. We want to fix this issue for the American people, but we're not going to be taken hostage. I couldn't agree with J.D. vance more. You can't allow these few Democrats, these radical Democrats, to take the entire government hostage, okay? You've got to put your foot down and hold the line. And that's what Republicans are doing. And Democrats, they're not going to come out looking good in this, okay? They're not going to come out looking good because there is a poll in the New York Times that actually put on my X account, a majority of Democrats don't want them to shut down the government. A majority of Democrats are like, you know what? Were actually fine with the CR, which means continuing resolution that we voted on about 13 times before. The fact that they're doing this now has everything to do with Trump. They have Trump derangement syndrome. They want to shut down the government because they must think in some diluted, crazy way it's going to make Trump look bad. It's not going to make Trump look bad, okay? He's going to come out smelling like a rose. And we used to have roses in the Rose Garden, if you remember what a rose smells like. But no, he's going to come out smelling like a rose. And this one, because Republicans are right. A majority of the country support, support mass deportations. They support having strong border security. They don't want their Tax dollars going to illegal migrants. It's just common sense. Now, speaking of this government shutdown, anytime I think of a government shutdown, you guys, I think of Monica Lewinsky. Now, I know that's because I'm a student of history. I love scandals. I love saucy, salacious things. But Monica Lewinsky, her affair with Bill Clinton began during a government shutdown. And I'll explain this to you, okay? Come in close. Coming close. Story time. During a government shutdown, they have what they call essential workers coming in. So if you're essential, it means you are essential to the processes and the mechanisms of government. Most of my friends who work in D.C. they say they're essential and they have to go in. Some of them, I question how essential they are. But back in the 90s, there was a shutdown over funding, of course, a standoff between Republicans and Democrats. During this shutdown, little intern Monica Lewinsky decided she was essential, okay? Maybe because they didn't have to pay the interns. I don't know. Monica Lewinsky started going in. That is when her affair with Bill Clinton started during the government shutdown, I believe in 1996. That is when the affair started. Now, Monica Lewinsky, in my mind, is not essential, okay? Monica Lewinsky thinking she's an essential worker during the government shutdown, I call a flag on the play. And I don't really even know what that means, but it's a sports metaphor. So Monica Lewinsky, she was going in during the shutdown, and she was apparently going into the back office to have some fun with Bill Clinton. So I just find it funny that Monica Lewinsky, when we're talking about essential workers, she really thought she was essential. Like, no, your throat was essential. You big on your knees. And the Oval Office was essential. And the last thing I'm thinking, just, you know, off the cuff here, Let Monica Lewinsky be a lesson. I know a majority of my audience is women. 85% of you guys are women, watching me and tuning in. Don't trust everyone, okay? Keep some things in the vault. Monica Lewinsky played herself because she got on the phone like a little schoolgirl, and she yapped to that ugly broad Linda. Trip. Okay? These women are not your friends, okay? They don't wish the best for you. They are out to sabotage you and stab you in the back, okay? So let this be a lesson to all the girls. Keep your friends close, okay? Keep your friends close. But even your closest, closest girlfriends and people you think would never screw you over, guess what? They could be running A tape on the other side of the phone. Running tape now. Me having street wise and street smarts, I would have seen Linda Tripp coming from a million miles away. Okay? Linda Tripp looks like a miserable hag who would screw you over, okay? She looks like she would be the type of woman to F you over. So Monica Lewinsky. It's interesting when we think about government shutdowns. That entire scandal started because of a government shutdown. Now I'm also thinking, and I've been pondering the last few days on social media. If I were in charge of the government, what demands would I have? If I'm like Dr. Evil and Austin Powers, $1 trillion, what demands would I have? You know, what would I want them to come to the table with to turn the government back on to end the shutdown? Here's some of my demands, okay? If I'm in charge and the government is going to come back, here is what I want to end the shutdown. First and foremost, all hair salon visits have to be tax deductible. I'm sorry. If we're going to get our hair done, I want to be able to write it off on my taxes. In fact, I might just do it anyway. Scott Besant, don't come for me. Next. Any man who's ever ghosted me, you have to send me a two page letter minimum. Minimum. Explaining why in detail. Okay? Where did you go? You just went poof like Casper. Okay? Poof like Casper. Invisibility cloak. So we're not turning the government back on until I get those letters. Next. Gray sweatpants are mandatory as soon as temperatures drop below 60 degrees. This one, Common sense. Really, just common sense. Next one. No more nutrition facts on boxes of brownies. I'm here to tell you, okay? I don't want to read them. If I buy a box of brownies or cookie mix, I don't need the nutrition facts, okay? Anybody buying a box of, let's say Ghirardelli chocolate brownies, you know they're not healthy, okay? So I think we should continue this government shutdown until we remove all nutrition facts from boxes of brownies. Next one. This is very near and dear to my heart. Very near and dear to my heart. When I'm boarding a plane. Group one actually means group one. Okay? Group one is not after all of these Executive Platinum Global Services people who get to go on before me, okay? And on Southwest, sometimes I'm going to just be honest. I'm from Dallas. When you fly Southwest, they'll have like 20 wheelchairs get on before you. And you know, Southwest is first come, first serve. You have 20 wheelchairs. Everybody gets off and they're doing the watusi coming off the plane. So you needed the wheelchair to get on the plane, and then you're like fricking Usain Bolt getting off. So, no, no, no, no, no. When I board a flight, Group One needs to be. Group one. Next. The government will remain in shutdown until Rosie o' Donnell has her citizenship stripped. Okay, Rosie o' Donnell needs to have her citizenship stripped immediately. She doesn't live here. She's a threat to the United States. She spreads evil, nasty propaganda all over social media. Maybe now that TikTok has no ownership, we can shut down her account for misinformation. I also don't know how her WI FI connection is so strong in that village she moved to over in Ireland. But, Rosie, you gotta go, bitch. And my next demand, if the government is going to come back on Jasmine Crockett, every video of Jasmine Crockett needs to come with subtitles because I can't understand what the woman is saying half the time, okay? She has this fake performative ghetto accent. I can't understand the broad. So every video of Jasmine Crockett needs to come with subtitles and a translation that is getting must. Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel must make his audience laugh without a laugh track. Now, the government might never come back if this is one of my demands. But Jimmy Kimmel, if he can make his audience laugh without a big sign that says applause and laughter, maybe the government shutdown can end. Next order of business. The government will remain in shutdown until all labubus are banned. Okay? I don't want to see a labubu, okay? I've seen these stupid ass labubus everywhere. I don't want to see any more Labubus. And if you don't know what a Labubu is, you're lucky. Second. Second to last one. People who run marathons can no longer make it their entire personality. We all have that friend, okay? They think because they ran a marathon, they are God's gift to this earth, okay? They think they walked on water. No, you just, like, ran around a random city for a couple of hours, putting your body through hell. And everybody I know who runs marathons, they're miserable. Their joints are giving out. They're always in physical therapy. Why do y' all do this? Okay? I'm in great shape. I'm cute. I'm young. I'm skinny. I'm blonde. Fabulous. I don't need to go run a marathon to feel like I'm hot shit, okay? But people who run marathons, y' all make it your entire personality, and it needs to stop or the government is going to remain in shutdown. Last but not least, this is the most important one, so come in close. And just like that. The Sex and the City reboot must be scrubbed from every corner of the Internet. This show needs to be filed away in some black box somewhere and never spoken of. Okay? We need to go full Men in Black, erase our memories, erase the Internet I don't ever want to see. And just like that ever again, it needs to be taken off the Internet. It really needs to be taken off the Internet because it's one of the most insane, fever dream type of shows I have ever seen. So when Just like that needs to get off the Internet, those are my demands if we're going to bring the government back. These are the things I want to have happen. And I would love to hear from you guys in the comments. Drop a comment and tell me what your demands are if you want the government to come back. Now, speaking of the government, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, he convened all of these military leaders and generals at Quantico in Virginia on Tuesday, basically to tell them, look, we're done with woke, we're done with dei, we're done with having fat out of shape people, okay? We have to defend the United States of America. Now, we're going to start by playing you a little clip where he discusses how he doesn't want these fat troops and generals. And we have to have some fitness test. If the Secretary of War can do regular hard pt, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world. It's a bad look. It is bad. And it's not who we are. So whether you're an Airborne Ranger or a Chairborne Ranger, a brand new private or a four star general, you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test. This is common sense, okay? And you guys know me, okay? I love people of all different shapes and sizes. I love little nuggets. I love big fat people. I love people of all different shapes and sizes. Come one, come all to the Halloween ball, okay? Everybody is welcome on my page, it takes a village. Or in my case, the village People, but nonetheless, I love people of all different shapes and sizes. But the fact of the matter is, if you're morbidly or clinically obese and you have to run and put your gear on and get to the front lines, that's a national security threat, okay? When I see the military and the National Guard, I want these men to look like the frickin Terminator, okay? I want these men to be able to pick me up and snap me like a twig. You know what I'm saying? So I don't want these like fat woke up people in the military anymore. And if it makes me sound like an asshole, then I'm an asshole. You guys can put that on me. That's okay. I've been called worse by some of my own family members. But no, I want people who are in shape to defend the United States of America. We have enemies, foreign and domestic. We have a lot of domestic enemies, actually. Probably have millions of people in the country right now who don't wish us well and want to see western civilization eradicated. And in order to hold the line and defend the homeland, you have to have people who can actually run 100 yards without getting out of breath and needing a respirator. Now this next clip I want to talk about. Pete Hegseth discussed how he doesn't want any more woke generals. No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division distraction or gender delusions. No more debris. As I've said before and will say again, we are done with that shit. I am so happy Pete Hegseth is saying this. I don't want the woke nonsense anymore, okay? Do you guys remember that guy who looked like Matt Damon's doppelganger? What was his name? The one with the frickin luggage. Can we google and find his name? The one who was stealing luggage from the airports. Remember that little man in a dress who was working in the United States government? I don't want people like that working in the government anymore, okay? I don't want the woke. I don't want the nonsense, I don't want the insanity. That is not what I want. Yes, Samuel Brinton. His name is Sam Brinton. Thank you voice in my head. Sam Brinton. We don't want people like that in the United States government anymore, okay? If you can't figure out your gender, if you're stressed about pronouns, you're crying because someone called you the wrong pronoun, get the hell out, okay? Because other countries aren't doing that shit. You go to the Middle east, you go to Abu Dhabi. Do you think they're worrying about your pronouns? No. Okay? The women can't even go to the gym without being covered in sheets, okay? So they're certainly not worried about pronouns, though we don't know what might be under those sheets. But, no, nonetheless, I don't want to worry about the pronouns. I don't want fat woke nonsense in the military, okay? I don't mind a little bit of fat woke nonsense in media because it gives me some fodder and things to discuss, okay? But on the front lines, it's not what I want, okay? And you guys need to know how to load those guns, how to put that gear on and get into shape and get to the front lines if, God forbid, something happens, right? We want peace. We want peace on earth and mercy mild. We want love and everybody to hold hands and sing Kumbaya. But that's not the way the world is, okay? And we can't have people who get out of breath walking up the stairs defending our homeland because they can't even defend themselves from a box of chocolate in the. We can't have. Leave this in. Okay? We can't have people defending the homeland if they can't even defend themselves from a box of chocolates in the kitchen, okay? If you can't fight the urge to open the freezer at 2 in the morning, then I don't want you fighting the fucking foreign enemies coming to destroy us, okay? That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. If you don't have the willpower to stop picking up a chocolate brownie, okay? If you don't have the willpower to stop ordering three entrees when you go to lunch, then you probably don't have the willpower to defend the United States of America. Now, speaking of people who won't be defending the United States of America, we have to talk about the women from the View. Now, I don't think any of these women could pass a presidential fitness test. I don't think they could probably pass a psychology exam because they're all insane. They're all insane. The View was like, let's find the most insane women and put them on a panel who know the least about what it means to be American. And that is what they did. But the View is apparently very upset. The View is just up in arms over the fact that Pete Hegseth wants to have standards in the military. And then also he said he was going to return to the highest male standard for combat positions because the troops were fat. I don't understand how that was supposed to be an uplifting message for our military. Maybe he's referring to Colonel Sanders. It was really a bizarre thing, okay? Number one, I love having high male standards, okay? I've gone through periods in my life where I haven't had the highest male standards, ladies, you know what I'm talking about. But we need to get back to having high standards for men, okay? Because the bar has kind of been on the floor in some respects the last four years under Biden. We need to put that bar up, okay? I want to have high standards for men. You need to be in shape, and you got to know how to work it and get there and get things done if you're going to defend us and be in the United States military. Now, these women, I guess that's foreign to them because they all worship DEI and checking boxes and Whoopi Goldberg, let's be honest. She's on the View. I don't think she can walk, you know, 10 yards without passing out, okay? The woman's, like, falling off her chair by the end of the View. Joy behar, she's got 15 bottles of cabernet in her dressing room. She's not defending anything. In fact, the only. The only thing Joy Behar runs from is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. But nonetheless, the women of the View are fools. They're buffoons. They're idiots. And if they think we should have fat, woke transgender people in the military defending our country, they're clowns. And it's because they live in New York City in a rich, elite enclave where they have drivers and chefs and penthouse apartments. They don't understand the needs of everyday Americans, right? When we're sending the National Guard into cities and they're being cleaned up and we're getting crime off of the streets, that is unnecessary, okay? United States. The United States of America should be the castle on the hill, okay? We should be the country every other country looks to, right? As an example. We haven't been that, and we cannot be that if we have people who are out of shape every single day. Sunny Hostin, you're also a fool. You're also an idiot. And I haven't forgotten about the fact that your husband is allegedly under investigation, I believe, for fraud. He's under investigation for something. So why don't you go worry about your side of the street and worry less about what Pete Hegseth has going on? Well, I have to tell you guys, About Masa chips. You know by now I only eat masa chips. I don't do tostitos when I have my salsa, my pico de gallo, my guacamole. I love Tex Mex, okay? I'm from Dallas. I love my Tex Mex, and I love masa chips because these chips are made with just three ingredients and no seed oils. Organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass fed beef tallow. You need to give Masa a try. So go to masachips.comlink and use code link for 25% off your first order. That's masachips.comlink code link for 25% off your 1st order. If you don't feel like ordering online, that is totally fine. Masa is now available nationwide at your local sprouts supermarket. So stop by and pick up a bag before they're gone. Now, to round out the show, we have to do an update on the second Sydney Sweeney American Eagle debacle. You guys remember, okay, the ad where she said she had great jeans and all the liberals were upset. They said it was like some racist Nazi ad. My only gripe with the ad is that it was kind of boring. Okay? It was kind of boring. Also, they kept acting like Sydney Sweeney was this, like, hot, sexy vixen harlot. She's a cute girl. I mean, she's a cute girl, but if we're really going to call it for what it is, she's not, like, drop dead gorgeous. She's not a Victoria's Secret angel, okay? It's not like Sydney Sweeney is, like, unattainable. You know what I'm saying? You go to any college campus in the sec, you find a thousand girls who look like Sydney Sweeney. Shout out to my girls at the SEC schools. Y' all are gorgeous and you're stunning. And shout out to all the sororities, but no Sydney Sweeney. Everybody was like, oh, my God. She's this hot, fabulous looking girl. It's like, she's fine, she's fine. She looks okay. But apparently this ad, the cancel culture, did not work because American Eagle sales have skyrocketed. Let me read you a little bit about this, okay? We now know that the company's executive refused to bend the knee to pressure on social media. So we all talked about this weeks ago. They did not take down the ad. They didn't capitulate to the woke mob, which is good, okay? You don't need to capitulate to, like, overweight people with blue hair who have their, like, vaginas. Pierced, okay? You don't need to capitulate to them. And the weeks that followed, the campaign proved to be a hit, bringing in almost a million new customers to American Eagle between July and September. According to the Wall Street Journal, demand spiked for the items Sydney was selling, like the Sweeney cinched waist denim jacket sold out in a day and the Sydney jean sold out in a week. Now, American Eagle CEO said this. You can't run from fear. We stand behind what we did. I love this. I love this. I don't want anybody bending the knee to cancel culture. Hold the line. I also have to say one thing that we talked about weeks ago. Everything isn't for everyone, okay? Everything isn't for everyone. When I go into, let's say, a sports store because I just need sneakers, okay? I'm not really athletic, but I need new sneakers or some gym shorts. Every guy on the wall is like some ripped, hunky 6 foot 5 athlete. Is that me? No, it's certainly not me. But am I going to be offended? Like a little beta male bitch boy crying boo hoo, Mary Lou Hoo because someone doesn't look like me in an advertisement? No. Okay, so all these woke little liberals, you got your asses handed to you. You all thought you were going to cancel the brand, cancel Sydney Sweeney. Everybody just keeps getting R, okay? Like Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber's wife. They tried to cancel her. She just sold her company for hundreds of millions of dollars. Cancel culture does not work because the woke mob has least has less power than ever before. They really have no power when it comes to government, when it comes to media. Us on the side of common sense here in the United States. We hold the power right now, okay? We hold the power. We're not offended by everything. We're not little crybabies. And that's the way America needs to be. We need to be America strong, okay? And hold the line. So shout out to American Eagle. Shout out to Sydney Sweeney and shout out to you guys for tuning into the show. I'm so grateful that you tuned in. Thank you. We will be back on Friday with a little mini episode, a story that we didn't have time to get to today that you're going to want to hear about about Netflix and trans people canceling Netflix. We're going to get into all of that on Friday on a little mini episode. But kiss your loved ones and if the government shutdown is affecting you negatively, I am thinking about you and I look forward to reading your comments. I will see you on the next one. Thank you. Buy what if we could reduce carbon emissions and strengthen the economy? At Exxon Mobil, we believe both are possible. As a global leader in carbon capture and storage, we're empowering industries to reduce their emissions all through technologies that are creating job opportunities in America. How's that for a win? Win. ExxonMobil, let's deliver.
