Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot On with Link, Lauren.

0:03.7

Happy Monday. We've only got a few more weeks until Christmas. Okay, if you're like me, you are counting down the days. Or maybe you're not because you don't want to be around your family again. You are just with them on Thanksgiving. You need a break. Maybe you're spending the holidays alone, but I'm thinking of you, so you're not alone. We have a jam-pack show.

0:21.6

Okay.

0:22.6

We have a guest coming on today, a friend of mine, Lydia Moynihan. She works for the New York Post. You've probably seen her on TV or on the internet. She's so funny. She's smart as a whip. I'm excited to talk to her about the Somalian fraud scheme in Minnesota. Okay, this is not good. good. This is not good. The Somalian fraud. We're going to talk about Sidney Sweeney.

0:38.8

Sidney Swini is back sort of apologizing for this whole... in Minnesota. Okay, this is not good. This is not good. The Somalian fraud. We're going to talk about

0:37.8

Sidney Sweeney. Sydney Sweeney is back sort of apologizing for this whole American Eagle situation.

0:43.3

I would not have apologized and capitulated to the woke mob on the internet, okay, because the

0:48.8

majority of the country, they're with Sidney Sweeney. And then we have to talk about, we have to talk about Megan Markle's

0:56.0

father who is in the hospital. Okay. He apparently had his foot or part of his leg amputated,

1:02.1

and she has not spoken to him as of this taping. Okay, she claims that she reached out to him or she

1:07.2

sent an email. What pisses me off is that she has the resources, Prince Harry has

1:11.6

the resources, to help this man, this 81-year-old man. So we're going to dive into all of that,

1:17.2

including something that's happening on airplanes with Southwest Airlines. So stick around. We're

1:21.6

going to dive right in.

1:24.7

Well, blood is thicker than water, but apparently not for Megan Markle. We all know. Megan Markle has had issues with her dad, Thomas Markle, for years. Okay, she did not have him at the wedding. They had a falling out. He has never met. He has never met his grandkids, Archie and Lily Bet, but then again, has anybody met Archie and Lily Bet? And what's so upsetting to me about this whole situation with Thomas Markle, let's say he's done some things to piss you off. Let's say he talked to the press here and there 10 years ago, okay, he got caught up in something. He made a bad decision. Maybe make amends, okay, he didn't kill anyone, he didn't really hurt you, you're making hundreds of millions of dollars from Netflix and all your deals and your books. Okay. You are the Duchess of Sussex, you call yourself. Okay, even though you live in California and we don't have royalty here. You still call yourself the Duchess of Sussex. You are a member of the royal family, right? Your dad is 81 years old. He's not getting any younger, and you haven't allowed him to meet your

2:18.0

grandkids, even in a supervised environment. And then what broke over the weekend, Thomas Markle is in a

2:23.7

hospital in the Philippines pleading for help. He is in a hospital pleading for help, and he had

2:30.0

his foot amputated. We have a quote. The surgeon says we had to remove the foot. There was a massive

2:36.5

blood clot in his thigh and that had stopped circulation to his foot and lower leg. It was life or

2:42.0

death surgery. Had the infection in the foot moved to his heart, it would most likely have been

2:47.7

fatal. He is doing well, but he is not out of the woods yet. Now,

2:51.8

Thomas Markle, here's what he has asked his daughter. And if you don't know the whole backstory, Thomas Markle allegedly paid for his daughter to go to Northwestern. He worked on the set of a soap opera. He had a very good job. He paid for his daughter to go to private school. He really was the parent, right there were rumors rumors, rumors online that Doria Ragland was in prison or that she wasn't around. And now Megan is close with her mom again. But her father, if you see in these pictures, her father was very close to her. Okay, so she can do revisionist history, but the dad hasn't done anything that terrible, right? He didn't beat you. He didn't kill anyone.
