AI GeneratedThe speaker analyzes how the British Royal Family uses strategic public relations to overshadow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. By utilizing staged photographs and high-profile associations, the Palace effectively controls the narrative and maintains its \"A-list\" status while isolating the Sussexes.
While Harry and the kids and Meghan were meeting with the king in Windsor, just outside London,
William was at a polo match and he kissed Kate and that's the photograph that ran around the
world the next day. That's the picture. Wait, do we, I think we have that. Hold on,
let's see that. Uh, it's a soundbite. Let's, that's seven. Watch.
That's how you win the story. That's how you win the narrative. You know, Meghan,
that I used to be a publicist before I was a reporter, a gossip columnist. One of my clients
was Jessica Simpson and Jessica Simpson on the day that Nick Lachey's, they broke up,
they had a very ugly breakup. On the day that his new album came out, Jessica dyed her hair red
and she got all the press. She just went out of her way to steal a story.
And this is what the palace did on the day that they met. And then the next day
was Wimbledon, the tennis. And then we saw the Royal family in the Royal box too. This is how
they win this argument, not by taking on the Sussexes, not by going after them by ignoring
them. So you're saying that the, the kiss, because we don't see them kiss each other a lot. We see
them holding hands or whatever, but that kissing on the left cheek and the right cheek, that moment
was prescripted in your belief because they knew it would get picked up everywhere.
Yeah, absolutely. I've really done this a long time. A tip, everybody. If you see a celebrity
and a photographer captures them somewhere and they're in full hair and makeup, it's probably
staged. Now if they're picking their nose at Starbucks or if they're squashing a spot on
their face, that is probably a legitimate photograph. So 90% of the photographs you see
are staged. Look at that. It looks fabulous. Look at that angle. Look where the camera is.
Look at the lighting. I know it's natural light. And she was not meant to go to this
polo match on the original schedule. Kate wasn't on that schedule. So in the last minute they said
to Kate, you know, Kate, maybe you should put on a pretty dress and go and kiss your husband.
And she did it. And so this is what everybody's talking about. This moment won.
They nailed it. Everyone's rooting for them. And they're obviously the A-listers,
whereas the Sussexes are D-list. They reportedly, now I think it was you who reported that Meghan
Markle was dying for an invite to Taylor Swift's wedding. And it was not forthcoming because,
well, among other reasons, they don't know her or like her, but they're friends with
the A-list couple. That's right. That's right. So I don't think not knowing
Taylor and Travis would necessarily get you barred. My report is a lot of people at that
wedding were asking the one question, which is, do you know them? Nobody knew them. Nobody. I spoke
to four people who went to the wedding and they wanted to say thank you. They couldn't get near
her because she had security around her. And so they couldn't thank her for inviting them. And
then, you know, if you can't speak to the bride on the day of the wedding, maybe that happens.
You text them the next day or you... No one's got her phone number. No one's got her email.
They have this anonymous 1-800 invite. So there's so many people there that didn't know them. I
don't think that disqualified Meghan. What disqualified her is the day before the wedding,
guess who appeared on Travis's podcast? The Prince of Wales. They have made a friendship.
In fact, now we're finding out just a few months ago, Taylor and Travis were in London and they
did pop into the palace and met them. It's come to the point with Harry and Meghan where you've
got to pick sides. And so it's unfortunate when that happens, but some situations get so toxic,
so ugly, you can't be neutral anymore. And who's going to pick them over the future
King and Queen? Every mistake, every mistake, Meghan, they've made. Like they just, if there's
a way to mess something up, Harry and Meghan will do it. They can't help themselves.
They're their own worst enemies because they really are true narcissists. And so every decision
is made from there and like the others aren't. And therefore they can make decisions that are
selfless that are actually for the benefit of others. It's just over time you get to see this
and you know it when you see it. So they're their own worst enemies. I do want to get back to Harry
and Meghan and the Wimbledon pictures of Kate and Will with the children, which are irresistible.

For the first time since World War II, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic
product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us. Higher inflation,
higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt.
Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
