NPR is criticized for airing a flattering profile of Queen Camilla, featuring author Tina Brown. The segment attempts to rehabilitate Camilla's image from the "other woman" in the Charles and Diana marriage to a "national treasure." The hosts contrast this new narrative with the historical public animosity toward Camilla, noting the scripted nature of the interview.

Tina Brown describes Queen Camilla's appeal as being "absolute catnip to men" and "tremendously earthy," citing her preference for comfortable shoes and "gardener's hands" with dirty fingernails. The hosts mock the contradictory descriptions of Camilla as both a "hottie" of the debutante scene and a "Rottweiler" or "Old Trout," as she was famously dubbed by the British press and Princess Diana.

The discussion turns to Prince Harry's memoir, *Spare*, in which he accused Camilla of leaking stories to the press to rehabilitate her own image at his expense. Tina Brown acknowledges the role of sophisticated PR secretaries in transforming the public's perception of Charles and Camilla. The hosts suggest NPR's coverage is an attempt to capitalize on the high ratings generated by Harry and Meghan's media ventures.

The hosts critique a "Morning Joe" segment featuring Tina Brown, where the panel discusses Hillary Clinton's recent public appearances. Brown argues that Clinton was a "phenomenal" candidate who was unfairly "buttoned up" by the media's focus on her emails. The hosts mock the "New York elite" perspective of the show and the repetitive use of the word "wow" by the anchors.

Hillary Clinton and IMF Chief Christine Lagarde appeared together at the Women in the World Summit, moderated by Thomas Friedman. Friedman suggested a future where Lagarde leads the European Union and Clinton is U.S. President. The hosts analyze the "powerhouse women" narrative and Clinton's potential campaign focus on compromise and evidence-based decision-making.
