It was strange enough that the infamous Oprah interview was pulled 30 days after it was
aired.
You can't find it anywhere, at least legally.
With so much money involved, what would be the reason they decided to hide it from everyone?
well, you're about to find out:
Welcome back, my body language buddies!

Back in 2019, things were starting to go south between the Harkles and the Royal family.
In May, Archie was born and NutMeg really wanted to arrange an exclusive.
The problem is that she did not want any British commoner to interview her.
She wanted Gayle King, as reported by the Daily Mail.
So, it makes sense because you can imagine that Meghan must have been aware that her
popularity in the UK was slowly going down, but she still had a shot at home.
And that waning popularity must have something to do with the rumors about the Sussexes and
the Cambridges not wanting to have barbecues together anymore.
In other words, they were not getting along well.
It goes without saying that Oprah must have been aware of this, since she's a close friend
of Gayle, and there are apparently no hard feelings since it was Oprah who landed the
exclusive in the end, and as you might already know, it was aired in March 2021.
Please keep in mind Oprah and Gayle's friendship, because it will be important later on.
But again, why the interview only lasted 30 days online and then disappeared into thin
air?
Well, the 'official' statement from Harpo Productions, which is Oprah's company, as
to why noone can watch it anymore, is rather absurd.
"From the start of Negotiations, Mrs. Winfrey's company, Harpo Productions, envisioned the
special as something suited to a big broadcast network"
As in, she wanted it to be a live television event, and not available in other streaming
services besides CBS' website in the US, or ITV in the UK.
The other streaming services could have been Netflix, or Amazon, or Hulu.
Having it as a premiere, and only on 'big broadcasting services' makes sense because
you want to reinforce the vibes of a 'live' program.
It's part of our current psychology that we associate whatever we watch on streaming services
such as Netflix, that we can consume it in our own time.
We decide when to watch it.
Forcing people to watch a program live, gives it gravitas, relevance, importance.
Something that is all the more critical since it was about, well, The Harkles.
So, OK.
The original, live broadcast made sense to air just on CBS as a live primetime special.
Of course, "live" is relative because it was a prerecorded and edited program.
Now, let's talk about money.
And I've told you more than a couple times that following the money can give you a lot
of answers, even some that you weren't looking for in the first place.
Why didn't Harpo Productions, sell the streaming rights AFTER the interview was orignally aired?
In fact, CBS payed a hefty license fee of between seven and 9 million to air it, and
in the UK, ITV made the cut paying the equivalent of 1.4 million dollars.
There's a reason why these networks were desperate to outbid everyone else, because, as an example,
CBS was charging THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE thousand dollars for 30 seconds of advertising
space.
Yes.
There was a ton of money to be made over this.
And of course, Oprah was not doing this for art's sake.
You don't get to a net worth of TWO POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS doing things for art's
sake.
That only means that you know where the money is, and you also know how to take it.
This is where things just don't make sense.
Because you can imagine that Oprah knew that this was going to be a banger.
That this was going to make waves worldwide, and if she sold the rights to streaming services,
she could make, like, a ton of money.
But then, why try to fool us claming that she was not aware of people's reaction in
the following days?
Gayle King made a statement that it was herself that had to notify Oprah of the interview
blowing up.
And that Oprah was absolutely unaware, and I quote, "sitting on her back porch reading
a book".
So, it was like "Oprah, this thing is blowing up!"
- What?
Yes, and everyone is already claiming that it's all a bunch of horseshit.
Lies!
- Hold up, hold up!
Are you telling me, that a media mogul with the business acumen of Oprah, did not expect
the possible response of the whole world?
Of course she did!
there is no other way around that!
But then...
why use Gayle to make those claims to the media?
why use her friend to make it seem like she was not aware of anything?
Well... unless... she knew there was going to be a massive response, but the massive
response she got... was not the one that she expected.
And we stumble upon another contradiction.
And it's a level of logic that you cannot escape.
Oprah loves money.
Oprah owns the rights to the interview, because she literally produced it.
And Oprah could make more money just by selling the streaming rights to a couple of streaming
companies.
The interview blows up as expected, maybe even more than she expected, so she could
charge even more money for those streaming services, right?
There has to be a very good reason to break this logic.
So we have to find the weakest link in our axiomatic system.
There is no doubt about the public's response, there's no doubt about who owns these rights:
Oprah.
And there's no doubt streaming services would pay a good chunk of their huge budget allocated
to nose sugar, just for the rights to replay the unfortunate recollections of The Harkles.
So, the only link left is Oprah's love for money.
There has to be something that Oprah values more than money.
Something that money cannot buy.
So many things!
but there is one thing that, professionally, is way more important for a media mogul than
money itself.
And that is credibility.
Your reputation as a credible source of information.
And in Oprah's case, she knows that for her career, credibility is the asset that segues
into legacy.
There is no way around it.
It's really easy to make the connection.
You break your credibility, you bust your legacy.
Just like that.
Maybe you can afford to make mistakes here and there.
It can happen to anyone, and it's understandable.
We are only humans.
But what happens when a mistake is viewed by tens of millions of people worldwide?
It becomes a problem.
A SERIOUS problem.
And yes, I'm talking about the Harry and Meghan interview.
Because there were lies that could have been easily disproven on the spot if Oprah had
just made her due dilligence, so she could ask sharper questions on the spot.
My guess is that two things happened.
First, Oprah couldn't wait one more minute to make that interview, so she rushed it.
And when you rush, your alarms don't work as well.
And two, I'm sure Meghan played her victim role to perfection prior to this, so Oprah
thought that she was going to uncover the truth of the Evil British Monarchy.
To be fair, we are prone to these errors in judgements if we rely in only one source of
information.
I'm sure Oprah did not feel the need to reach out to Kensington Palace, or the Archbishop
of Canterbury, or anyone to confirm any of The Harkles claims, before going live with
this.
Well, also she must have wanted to keep it under wraps until the very last moment.
But the only reason left to why the more 'popular' interview of 2021 was deleted from the internet,
is that Oprah realized too late, that this was a direct threat to her credibility, and
of course, her legacy.
And that is yet another way to prove that whatever Harry and Meghan said on those eighty
minutes, you have to take it with a grain...
no no, scratch that.
With a BOULDER of salt.
You can imagine that whoever is willing to interview them in the future, doesn't want
to make the same mistake.
And by mistake, I mean the ACT of interviewing them.
