Well, my friends, welcome back to Spot On with Link Lauren. Happy Monday, happy Columbus Day.

Are we allowed to say that now? Are we going to get canceled? Is the camera still on? If this is your first time tuning in, welcome to the show.

We cover politics, news, culture, the royals. We love to have a good time. So if this is your first time tuning in, welcome.

You're welcome to be here as long as you have a sense of humor and you don't take things too seriously, okay? Have a sense of humor. I got home last night. I was traveling over the weekend. I went to go speak in Dallas at the log cabin Republican gala. I was so grateful to go speak. I think it's important to have voices in the culture that are common sense, right? There's so many gay men in media, especially on the left, who are into the pronouns and the woke nonsense. That is not me. And so I'm going to make it to as many of these events as I can. I've been getting invited to speak more and more. The next few months are crazy, but I'll be back in Dallas. It will be back in

Dallas with Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck on October 25th. So get your tickets for that. It's a big arena show. It's going to be fun. It's going to be unfiltered. But I'm so grateful that the log cabin Republicans invited me to come speak and thank you to everyone who put on this event. And one thing y'all know about me, if you haven't seen any of my

speeches or if you're new here, if you invite me to come speak, I'm going to get on stage and let it rip. Okay, we're going to have some serious discussion. We're going to have some fun. I'm going to torch the joint and then I'm going to get off stage and collect the check. So I'm very, very, very grateful to be invited to speak.

But we have to start off the show

by talking about

not just the most important news of the day, the most important news of the year, this decade,

maybe the last hundred years, right? We haven't seen a president bring peace to the Middle East

like this in American history. I want to start off by saying, thank you to President Trump,

Steve Whitkoff, Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, the entire team who worked to free these hostages.

Now, it's bittersweet for me, I was articulating this on social media earlier. It's

bittersweet for me. I'm so happy these hostages are freed. They're reunited with their families,

but there are so many hostages who will never come home

or who will not come home alive.

And I don't even want to think about the barbarism

and the treatment that they suffered and they endured

for over two years at this point, just over two years.

But thank you to President Trump and the entire team for the

past 10 years. Since President Trump got into presidential politics, he was called a Nazi,

fascist, Hitler, and what has he done? He has worked to bring peace around the world and end these wars.
