Thanks for covering this Erick. I didn't watch either, but was interested in "the other side" as the Meghan side was made clear without having to suffer through it. I really appreciated Candace Owens' discussion of the interview. You see, Candace married a "medium-society" British guy who happens to be white, and Candace herself is black (her description of herself). The 17 minute discussion she has with Michael Knowles on the topic is enlightening. Candace refuses to apologize to the woke mob and try as much as they do she hasn't been canceled completely yet. If interested you can find the interview on YouTube.
I recall a televised interview with William and Harry (pre-Meghan ) on either the 20th or 25th anniversary of Diana's death, when both young men discussed its impact on their lives, a tragedy lived out publicly, and how they hope to honor her memory. It was a lovely interview, and both appeared genuinely well and stable. It's a tragedy Harry fell into the all-too-eager arms of grifter Meghan. And now that there is an innocent child (Archie) involved--who didn't ask for any of this--Harry is to be pitied as much as anything else. He sought comfort in Meghan, but instead found a nest of briars.
When Donald Trump was asked his thoughts on Harry/Meghan by the press in a interview a couple years back, Trump answered, "I wish Harry luck. He's going to need it."
Harry and Archie need more than luck. They need prayer.
Hear, hear, Erick! I couldn't have cared less about these people and their tell-all interview. However, I do care about mental illness and addiction and you are spot on about Harry's attraction to Meghan. From what I have read, she ripped her own family apart and now is hell bent to rip the royal family apart. She is toxic and Harry is vulnerable. Let's pray for them to get the help they need. Great commentary.
I had never heard of Meghan before she married Harry. I really don't care if I hear or see either of them again. While I really don't care either way about the British monarchy, you have to respect a person (the Queen) who hunkered down in bomb shelters during WWII plus all of the other world events she was part of during her lifetime vs. Meg and Harry "hunkering down" and playing the victim role in a $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara.
After listing the two factual errors evident in their interview, you state that you resent having to cover this. But this is exactly why I subscribe, Erick...you cover the facts that so many in the media ignore. Forget the MSM and their complete lack of journalistic integrity because that's a given. I'm thinking specifically of Trump's "stolen election" campaign and how effectively you disarmed that hyperbole through a simple recitation of the facts. I quoted you multiple, multiple times to friends and family when this subject arose specifically because of your fact-based analysis. Yes, people are stupid. But there are far more of us who simply don't have the time to research the reams of garbage generated daily by politicians and celebrities alike, so we lean on you to do that fact-finding for us. This is, after all, the intended function of a free press, but damn few of them live up to that ideal. Thanks for carrying the torch.
Tucker, I agree with you and would add that the media seems to be more concerned with using the so-called news as their personal platforms. Pundits are expected to share opinion; media is expected to share fact.
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear your perspective. It's an angle I hadn't considered, and the main reason I respect you so much. I believe that you, like myself, try to see in many shades of grey. Much of the world is so polarized by black and white that we often forget there's an entire spectrum. I know that racism is alive and well. However, whining about how people allegedly mistreated you never fixed anything. Mental illness is real. Meg and Harry should seek help. IMO, if they couldn't go to the Queen and seek resolution of their gripes, they should not have thrown the monarchy under the bus. It was a very unethical thing to do.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and I must say I could not have said this any better. Thank you. I watched only snippets of the interview but I simply could not bear it. They are mere immature children. MM did not impress me at all with her claims. They should have kept their mouths shut. Now they have no credibility. I am an expert in body language and MM gave herself away. Frankly it was quite embarrassing on national tv to hear and see all of that. MM actually set back any gains in mental health and race relations. I am not even going to splain that. Those of us who are really woke already know the dynamic and answer to that one. Is there no more shame, decorum or protocol? I guess not.
The right seems hell bent on claiming racism is gone. Newsflash....It isn't. It really isnt guys. The whole, we had a black president so what are yall complaining about? Is so ridiculous when used as some sort of proof that racism is gone.
Hmmm... I think this generalization is typical of left and right. And this is a big time generalization.
I'm a fairly conservative white older male. But, unlike in today's society I guess, I have AA friends. True friends. My youngest son's two best friends are AA that he grew up playing soccer with. These two 'young men ' are like my sons. To Teresa's point, if you make an effort to have true friends that are African American, then you know that racism is alive and well. How they see it and experience it. And there is enough of it out there, they some times confuse racism with somebody just having a bad day and they assume it is because of their skin color. I get it. I would too.
Conservatives recognize that racism is still there. But what bothers conservatives is how racism seems to catalyst for everything on the left. That or gay rights. If you are conservative, then you must hate black people, gay people, atheist, etc. Oh, I forgot. You hate brown people and that is why you are not for open borders. You hate women and that is why you are anti-abortion. You hate Asians and that is why you blame the Chinese for Covid-19. I could go on; but you get the point. If Conservatives disagree with liberals, it is because we are short sighted and a racist or bigot and a hater. (That's it).
Neither side is perfect. They can both do better. But I honestly feel like if the Left doesn't get the far-left under control that they will be rolled back big time in two years. The Dr. Seuss being a good example. Last I looked Dr. Seuss was holding 8 of the top 10 spots on one of the best sellers list. The theory being that you had a combination of people buying up the books before the rest were banned or people buying the books to basically give the finger to those who forced a partial book ban.
As for the ex-royals. I didn't watch. Could care less; but appreciate Erick suffering through this for me. That way if it does come up, I'll have an idea of what people are talking about.
Crash, are you inviting people into your home for dinner and conversing and having them spend the night? Do you live in a diverse neighborhood? Do you work on your own race relations with people of all nationalities, creeds, color or religion.? I’ve swept off my back porch. I am the minority in my work. I place myself in situations to understand the plight of others. Racism goes all ways. I am sweeping off my own porch and setting the dinner table and turning down the covers in the guest bedroom. That’s how you do it.
Im glad you are doing it. Ive been doing it all my life. Ive been the only black child in my class at private schools. Ive been the only black child in the gifted program at public schools. Ive been called the "smart black boy". I am more than qualified to speak on this matter. I was Huck Finn in the school play, but never Tom Sawyer...I was the Artful Dodger in the play but never Oliver. This wasnt because I was 2nd best. I was the best, but that wasnt always good enough be first. Part of the problem is that some minorities do cry wolf and call things racism when it isn't, however a bigger problem is when white people, mostly those on the right, to try to explain away racism as something else rather than listening to us and believing that water is wet. The oness is always on black people. We should have done this, we should have acted like that and if we had done so, we wouldnt have been shot, or arrested or passed over. The claims of reverse racism always come from the right. Thats not reverse racism or persecution. It is simply being held accountable after not being held accountable for so long that being asked to do so feels like persecution.
I confess I don’t know why I bothered finishing this article, but I am glad I did. Mental illness needs to be discussed more and more and more in our world today—and not in the form of the woke saying conservatives are crazy, or conservatives saying the far left is crazy. Mental illness affects far more families than we admit, and it had a negative stigma that inhibits those suffering from getting help.
So to whatever is going on with British ex-royalty or Oprah, I couldn’t care less.

Now do Don Jr.
sounds like a bunch of victims in need of gov't handouts to make them feel better
Didn't we win a war against the ancestors of these folks a couple hundred years ago? Why are we letting them back into our heads now?

Harry and Archie need more than luck. They need prayer.
"I resent having to discuss this. "-then do not. If you are going to talk about the British in American how about James Oglethorpe?
You didn’t, and don’t, have to discuss it.
Hear, hear, Erick! I couldn't have cared less about these people and their tell-all interview.

"People are stupid and Harry and Meghan are shameful woke mellennial grifters;" one of my favorite all time lines.

Invite me over to dinner and I will invite you for dinner. Maybe there is something deeper going on. You sound very angry.
