00:00:15.120 All right, you guys, it is Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Day.

00:00:19.280 Finally, finally, finally, I've been teasing that all week.

00:00:21.480 And let me just say to all the women out there that are watching, 1.00

00:00:25.060 no matter what you do in life, you never, ever, ever go full Amber Heard.

00:00:30.540 Plus, later on in the show, we're going to discuss President Zelensky,

00:00:33.440 America's welfare queen, who has been spending all of your hard-earned cash. 1.00

00:00:38.720 He apparently was able to make time to sit down with none other than Lex Friedman for a

00:00:43.580 three-hour interview.

00:00:45.380 And I'm going to give you my perspective on that interview.

00:00:47.360 And I'll tell you guys whether or not I have had a change of heart about President Zelensky.

00:00:52.520 Spoiler alert, no, I have not.

00:00:54.720 All that coming up, plus more on Candace.

00:01:00.000 All right, to begin, let's start with the end.

00:01:14.540 The conclusion here, I have said this since before, long before this ever broke out between

00:01:19.360 her and Justin Baldoni, that we have to compartmentalize.

00:01:22.000 Blake Lively is not a good person.

00:01:24.240 So no matter what happens in this lawsuit, no matter who wins in the end, do not let it

00:01:28.700 distract you from the fact that she has proven herself not to be a kind person, okay?

00:01:34.180 And that's largely due to the fact that she is a modern feminist, which means that she 1.00

00:01:39.100 grew up wealthy.

00:01:40.120 Her life has been perfect.

00:01:41.100 And so she has to create struggle where there just isn't any, okay?

00:01:44.720 She has a track record of being difficult to work with, well-established before Justin

00:01:48.840 Baldoni was ever in the picture.

00:01:51.300 We had already recapped this in an earlier episode from last year, but from Anna Kendrick,

00:01:57.120 pardon, to Armie Hammer, who got fired from Gossip Girl because he said during a dinner that

00:02:02.040 she was a B-I-T-C-H to Leighton Meester.

00:02:05.340 She has a very distinct working pattern.

00:02:08.520 Primarily, people don't like to work with Blake Lively.

00:02:10.620 I can also tell you personally, back when I was an intern at Glamour Magazine working under

00:02:14.840 an editor, she said the most difficult person that she has ever worked with and the rudest

00:02:19.000 person that she had ever worked with was Blake Lively, who got the cover of Glamour at some

00:02:23.520 time when I was working at Glamour Magazine.

00:02:26.220 And so people just know this behind the scenes.

00:02:28.260 You should just know that she is a bit of a brat, okay? 1.00

00:02:33.200 I will say also regarding Blake Lively, I just saw her coming.

00:02:36.680 Going back to what I said yesterday on the show about how my brain works, I always just

00:02:41.340 notice weird things.

00:02:42.580 I gave you guys that men in black analogy, that example, rather, when Will Smith randomly

00:02:48.040 shoots the eight-year-old while every other agent is shooting all of the aliens in the

00:02:52.360 room.

00:02:52.580 He's like, what's up with this eight-year-old?

00:02:54.340 My brain works like that regarding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds when I just recognize that

00:02:59.660 they do things and say things that let me know, that signal to me that they are up on

00:03:04.480 their high horses and that they potentially treat people very badly and that really they're

00:03:08.360 bored and rich, right?

00:03:09.800 One time while speaking to a reporter, Blake Lively said that her and Ryan Reynolds refer

00:03:17.440 to bugs and animals as she and her as opposed to he and him to their young daughter because

00:03:26.100 they're raising a little feminist. 1.00

00:03:27.260 Like, that's annoying.

00:03:28.020 That's just objectively annoying.

00:03:29.700 Another circumstance that made me see right through Ryan Reynolds and the kind of person

00:03:33.340 that he is was when, despite being friends with Joe Alwyn, who dated Taylor Swift for

00:03:40.060 five years, she's best friends with Blake Lively, he actually became friends with Joe Alwyn

00:03:44.240 for five years of dating.

00:03:46.320 And then Taylor Swift snapped her fingers, broke up with him, and the headline ran that,

00:03:51.060 you know, she went to dinner and got photographed with Blake and Ryan.

00:03:54.780 And then immediately after the dinner, Ryan and Blake and two other of her friends, the

00:04:00.300 Haim sisters and Gigi Hadid, all staged a mass unfollowing of Joe Alwyn like they were

00:04:05.600 13 years old.

00:04:06.820 Just let him know we're on her side.

00:04:08.460 We're ride or die for her.

00:04:09.900 Okay, Ryan, you're 48 years old.

00:04:11.600 Grow up.

00:04:12.280 Literally grow up.

00:04:13.140 Like, I mean, like you can still follow your pal Joe Alwyn.

00:04:15.860 That's not how people conduct themselves in a divorce. 0.99

00:04:17.900 And to go get pictured before you do it, to show him I'm teen girl, pathetic, and also 0.99

00:04:24.440 a little bit gay. 0.98

00:04:25.620 Anyways, getting back to the Justin Baldani thing, things sort of reach an inflection

00:04:28.940 point for Blake Lively's reputation.

00:04:31.180 While she was promoting the movie, It Ends With Us, co-starring, like I said, Justin Baldani.

00:04:36.940 I can't tell you anything about him.

00:04:38.380 I don't have an opinion on him.

00:04:39.560 He's not as well known as her.

00:04:41.220 He's not as A-list as her, as you would say, because she hangs out with Taylor Swift all

00:04:45.180 the time.

00:04:45.660 But we did become aware that there was a feud between the two and that they positively hated

00:04:51.280 one another because they were promoting this film and these articles started leaking, really

00:04:57.480 initially not in Justin's favor at first, basically saying that he had been inappropriate

00:05:02.780 on TMZ, saying that he asked her about her weight and because he had to lift her for a

00:05:09.340 scene.

00:05:10.080 And when the public began to look into this, they actually ended up siding against

00:05:15.440 Blake Lively.

00:05:16.700 And it wasn't because of Justin Baldani.

00:05:18.600 It was because they didn't like the way she was answering questions on the red carpet 0.95

00:05:22.540 about the film.

00:05:23.720 Now, I've never seen the film.

00:05:24.640 Apparently, it's about domestic violence.

00:05:26.020 It's a serious topic.

00:05:27.480 And Blake Lively was like promoting her hair products and they just thought it was a bit

00:05:31.680 tone deaf.

00:05:32.300 And then the thing that really sent the internet a storm was when they dug into her past interviews

00:05:40.140 and realized that Blake Lively is, well, not a very kind person as feminists are not allowed 1.00

00:05:44.780 to be because they always just have to be a feminist. 1.00

00:05:46.900 And apparently that means being mean to people that are interviewing you.

00:05:51.420 And it was this clip that set the internet on fire of her being interviewed by Kirstie Flaw.

00:05:59.180 And it's her sitting down with Parker Posey.

00:06:02.300 Take a listen.

00:06:02.820 It's hard to watch.

00:06:03.480 First of all, congrats on your little bump.

00:06:07.420 Congrats on your little bump. 0.99

00:06:09.240 What about my bump?

00:06:12.860 You've got two nice ones.

00:06:15.040 Are these, they are kind of bumps, aren't they?

00:06:18.040 No, not bumps.

00:06:19.860 The lovely lady lumps. 1.00

00:06:21.160 Check it out.

00:06:21.900 Thank you.

00:06:22.540 Thank you.

00:06:23.300 You like the movie?

00:06:24.420 Are you a Woody Allen fan?

00:06:25.400 I love most of his movies.

00:06:26.960 And this one was so, like, visually amazing.

00:06:29.960 Yeah, it's gorgeous.

00:06:30.820 Now, to remind you, aside from being weird, because she's saying something about her bump,

00:06:37.540 like, congratulations, I'm pregnant.

00:06:38.840 I would just answer that question normally.

00:06:40.240 But obviously, she's offended because she's a feminist. 1.00

00:06:41.980 You have to look to be offended.

00:06:43.660 She was working on a film with Woody Allen.

00:06:45.460 It was a, I think that was The Age of Adelaine, whatever it was called.

00:06:48.820 I never saw it.

00:06:49.660 Point being is that it was a period piece.

00:06:51.200 So the outfits were kind of amazing as these, like, period pieces tend to have really good outfits.

00:06:56.000 And the woman, God forbid, asked her a question about the character and the character's outfits. 1.00

00:07:03.080 And here's how Blake Lively responded to her.

00:07:05.620 Do you guys love wearing those kind of clothes that you...

00:07:08.720 Yeah.

00:07:09.520 Yeah.

00:07:09.820 And, you know, working in digital...

00:07:10.980 Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.

00:07:14.940 No, they...

00:07:15.720 I love Jesse's suits and how he...

00:07:18.500 That's what I'm saying.

00:07:19.420 His wardrobe was beautiful.

00:07:20.960 Oh, I know.

00:07:21.380 Everybody...

00:07:21.900 Corey's wardrobe was, of course, those high-waisted pants.

00:07:24.760 So there it is.

00:07:27.300 That's just modern feminism on steroids where they just can't even think straight because 1.00

00:07:30.900 they're perpetually offended and they're remarkably unlikable.

00:07:33.560 So the internet started pulling out these clips and suddenly there were these headlines

00:07:37.200 and people were just very upset with Blake Lively and started stringing together her pattern, okay?

00:07:43.260 So her reputation, you could say, last year completely tanked. 0.99

00:07:46.380 And it didn't seem like it was going to be salvageable because that's how the internet works.

00:07:49.880 Once they start to see who you are, they don't tend to forgive you.

00:07:52.420 But then suddenly, okay, right before Christmas on December 20th,

00:07:57.760 Blake Lively filed a complaint against Justin Baldoni and others in California claiming sexual harassment.

00:08:06.300 She alleged that Justin Baldoni and producer Jamie Heath had really poor behavior on set

00:08:12.760 and that they organized that smear campaign against her during the promotion of the film

00:08:18.020 and that that campaign caused her grief, fear, trauma, and extreme anxiety.

00:08:24.400 That's all per the filing.

00:08:25.860 And also that Baldoni was sort of a creep that he had, quote,

00:08:29.100 inserted improvised gratuitous sexual content and or scenes, which involves nudity, into the film,

00:08:35.640 including for an underage character in highly unsettling ways, okay?

00:08:42.140 Now, I want to make something very clear to you.

00:08:44.680 She filed a complaint at first, not a lawsuit, okay?

00:08:48.900 So on December 20th, she had filed a complaint with the Californian Civil Rights Department, 0.69

00:08:54.500 alleging all of that stress and a hostile work environment, okay?

00:08:57.300 You name it.

00:08:57.940 But what's interesting is despite filing this complaint, and despite this complaint supposed to be by California law,

00:09:04.740 it was supposed to be completely private, unless somebody, after they had investigated it,

00:09:08.800 maybe filed an FOIA, they could have gotten a hold of it.

00:09:11.540 She files it on December 20th, and lo and behold, on the 21st, the day after,

00:09:16.080 somehow the New York Times gets a hold of it, okay?

00:09:21.180 A private complaint should have remained private.

00:09:23.580 Suddenly, the New York Times gets a hold of it, and they run the complaint in its entirety the day after

00:09:30.280 with an accompanying article, which was published the day after that on December 22nd.

00:09:35.200 So within 48 hours, the New York Times got it, published it, and ran this headline,

00:09:40.920 We Can Bury Anyone Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine.

00:09:44.840 You can see it says, private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively

00:09:49.680 after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of It Ends With Us.

00:09:55.680 Okay, so you can imagine the public sees this, and people are reading it.

00:10:00.300 The New York Times is basically burying Justin Baldoni in this.

00:10:03.620 They're saying they're releasing private emails between him and his PR team,

00:10:08.860 and private emails amongst just the PR team, basically saying, as they quote,

00:10:13.340 We Can Bury Anyone.

00:10:15.300 And, of course, just what Blake Lively would have expected, instantly Hollywood floods in.

00:10:21.780 Me Too has been resurrected.

00:10:23.560 They're giving statements.

00:10:24.800 Amber Heard comes out of the woodwork and gives a statement, 0.51

00:10:28.040 which I feel like after allegedly pooping on Johnny Depp's bed,

00:10:31.420 she should maybe always sit this one out, but she didn't.

00:10:34.040 She's like, nope, nope, I'm with her.

00:10:36.640 We're all with her.

00:10:37.680 But actually, quite remarkably, the internet for the first time had a bit of pause,

00:10:43.000 and one of the things that they had a bit of pause about was why did she not file a lawsuit?

00:10:47.460 If this is all true, why did Blake Lively not file a lawsuit?

00:10:52.020 And instead, kind of went to a civil rights private thing and then gave it to the New York Times.

00:10:57.580 I mean, they're alleging she gave it to the New York Times.

00:10:59.200 I don't know who else could have given it to the New York Times.

00:11:01.240 I don't think Justin Baldoni or anyone on his team gave it to her.

00:11:03.900 And they started to ask the question, was this actually just a way to salvage her reputation? 0.86

00:11:09.540 They were unsure.

00:11:10.520 But I want to show you what is in this lawsuit because it's super interesting, okay?

00:11:15.660 So like I said, the entire point of this lawsuit, when you read through it, and I did,

00:11:20.280 basically just makes Justin Baldoni sound like a massive perv. 0.99

00:11:24.220 Like he just loves sex. 1.00

00:11:25.980 He loves pornography. 0.99

00:11:27.340 He's just like some super turned on dude all the time who can't stop talking about pornography. 0.60

00:11:32.760 And he was trying to get, basically, Blake Lively into these compromising positions 0.91

00:11:38.540 because I guess maybe he just wanted to see her naked.

00:11:41.520 And so they have, and I'm going to read you this directly from a lawsuit,

00:11:45.200 to add insult to injury, Mr. Heath, that's the other director,

00:11:49.580 approached Ms. Lively and her assistant on set

00:11:52.720 and started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart. 0.93

00:11:59.120 Ms. Lively thought that he was showing her pornography and she stopped him.

00:12:03.360 Mr. Heath explained that the video was his wife giving birth.

00:12:07.180 Ms. Lively was alarmed and asked Mr. Heath if his wife knew that he was sharing the video,

00:12:11.940 to which he replied, she isn't weird about this stuff. 0.98

00:12:14.500 As if Ms. Lively was weird for not welcoming it.

00:12:17.960 Ms. Lively and her assistant excused themselves,

00:12:20.280 stunned that Mr. Heath had shown them a nude video.

00:12:23.940 So when that was transcribed by the New York Times,

00:12:26.980 they kind of made it sound like he literally was just showing her pornographic images.

00:12:30.140 And they didn't kind of give you the context that actually what they were debating was

00:12:34.480 how they should film a birthing scene that Blake Lively was in.

00:12:39.120 And he was trying to say, and I guess in this, I have not seen the film,

00:12:42.880 but it's a natural labor, no drugs.

00:12:45.360 And as you know, for us crunchy moms who follow this on the internet, 0.78

00:12:49.940 this is like supposed to be this majestic moment.

00:12:53.700 Women tend to be in a bathtub. 1.00

00:12:54.920 They tend to be nude.

00:12:56.120 And I guess he was trying to say to her, like, this is how I want this scene to run.

00:13:00.900 And she's now telling the public that essentially she thought that she was being shown pornography on a phone.

00:13:07.720 And I have to say in the myriad of topics, in the myriad of categories, rather,

00:13:13.420 of pornography that are on the internet, you know,

00:13:15.780 we do the annual list of the top five things people are searching for on Pornhub

00:13:19.820 to show you how disturbing it is.

00:13:20.900 Never in my life have I heard of a category of women giving birth.

00:13:24.360 That doesn't tend to be a thing that turns men on,

00:13:27.040 that they would describe as pornographic, right?

00:13:28.980 That doesn't tend to be something that you hear.

00:13:31.040 In fact, it's almost the opposite when you get men, 0.70

00:13:34.280 young men who are completely immature and are like, 0.99

00:13:36.380 that's my worst nightmare, the idea of my wife giving birth 0.80

00:13:39.360 or of a woman giving birth, you know?

00:13:41.740 And so I just felt like that was wildly manipulative.

00:13:45.820 The lawsuit goes on to allege, I'm sorry,

00:13:48.960 the civil complaint goes on to allege that there was also this sort of sexualization

00:13:54.020 in terms of her breastfeeding, or at least that's what you get 1.00

00:13:56.860 when they say that the disturbing conduct allegedly continued while filming

00:14:03.180 with Lively accusing Baldoni and Heath of entering her trailer uninvited

00:14:08.340 while she was undressed or vulnerable,

00:14:10.700 including when she was breastfeeding her infant child, the complaint alleges.

00:14:14.100 The complaint further states that Baldoni improvised physical intimacy

00:14:18.140 that had not been rehearsed, choreographed, or discussed with Ms. Lively

00:14:21.940 with no intimacy coordinator involved.

00:14:24.680 So there's supposed to be a person there while you are shooting these intimate scenes

00:14:28.000 that says, okay, making sure that everybody's comfortable,

00:14:30.260 and that person was not there.

00:14:32.780 And this is where she gets into a bit of a contradiction when I went through the lawsuit

00:14:37.880 because she is all at once trying to tell us that she's maybe so irresistibly hot,

00:14:43.560 or maybe she's not so hot, but he thinks she's enough, that he wants to be with her,

00:14:48.680 that he's using scenes to improvise and to kiss her too long. 0.77

00:14:52.860 And like, you know, obviously he is doing this because he's just addicted to pornography.

00:14:57.880 She talks about him speaking about his pornography addiction in the past.

00:15:00.780 And the website, I mean, the lawsuit literally reads,

00:15:05.440 Mr. Baldoni chose to let the camera roll and have them perform a scene,

00:15:10.420 but he did not act in character.

00:15:12.740 Instead, he spoke to Ms. Lively out of character as himself.

00:15:15.800 At one point, he leaned forward and slowly dragged his lips from her ear and down her neck

00:15:21.200 as he said, it smells so good.

00:15:23.460 None of this was done remotely in character or based on any dialogue in the script,

00:15:27.180 and nothing needed to be said because, again, there was no sound.

00:15:30.280 And Mr. Baldoni was caressing Mr. Lively with his mouth in a way that had nothing to do with their roles.

00:15:36.180 But Ms. Lively later objected to this behavior. 1.00

00:15:38.980 Mr. Baldoni's response was, I'm not even attracted to you.

00:15:42.680 Okay.

00:15:43.080 So she's like, he's creepy.

00:15:44.680 He is attracted to you.

00:15:45.460 But then she completely flips later on in the lawsuit where she says that he made her feel ugly, 0.96

00:15:50.960 old, and fat, that he stormed into her room with tears in his eyes 0.93

00:15:55.920 and said that people on the internet think that she looks old and that she looks fat.

00:15:59.020 And so she goes on to also accuse him of harassment for going to her trainer and asking

00:16:04.920 if she can lose weight in two weeks. 0.97

00:16:08.320 It says Mr. Baldoni routinely degraded Ms. Lively for finding back channel ways of criticizing her body 0.96

00:16:14.840 and weight.

00:16:15.520 A few weeks before filming began and less than four months after Ms. Lively had given birth to her fourth

00:16:20.420 child, Ms. Lively was humiliated to learn that Mr. Baldoni secretly calls her fitness trainer

00:16:26.220 without her knowledge or permission and implied that he wanted her to lose weight within two weeks.

00:16:33.440 So which is it?

00:16:34.120 So I'm just saying, this is me reading the lawsuit.

00:16:35.520 I'm like, okay, so is he, so he just wants to breathe on you and kiss you and caress you

00:16:40.880 because you're so hot or he's just such a freak? 0.99

00:16:43.160 Or also is he just disgusted by you and making you feel old and ugly and fat? 0.97

00:16:46.680 I mean, I have some instant red flags when I read this lawsuit, but it was this last piece 0.96

00:16:51.300 that made me go, okay, you are being wildly manipulative and I am now ready for this to

00:16:56.560 all come out in court, okay?

00:16:58.420 This is the exact language of the lawsuit.

00:17:01.120 It reads, Mr. Baldoni inserted improvised, gratuitous sexual content and or scenes involving nudity

00:17:11.980 into the film, including for an underage character in highly unsettling ways.

00:17:17.540 So I read that and I'm like, okay, now we're inching towards, oh, this guy, even young girls,

00:17:23.120 underage character, he's doing this even to young women on set.

00:17:26.640 And then I read the comments that were beneath this article and someone pointed out to me

00:17:31.760 that that was manipulative language because while it says underage character, okay, the

00:17:36.920 actress that played the underage character is not underage at all.

00:17:41.720 So the protagonist of this film, it used to be a book, it's been adapted into a film, is

00:17:47.040 a young woman named Lily Bloom.

00:17:48.580 So Blake Lively plays the older Lily Bloom and another actress plays the younger Lily Bloom.

00:17:55.440 So that's the underage character, which is played by Isabella Ferrer, but Isabella Ferrer 0.54

00:18:00.360 is 23 years old.

00:18:01.820 So just by putting that in the lawsuit and knowing that not everybody has seen this film,

00:18:06.860 not everybody has read the book, and even if they have, they don't know how old Isabella

00:18:10.480 Ferrer is, it was a way to make it sound like Justin Baldoni, again, was this huge creep.

00:18:16.460 And when I found that out, I said, okay, she's playing a very interesting game.

00:18:20.140 There was also weird lawsuit moments where she also said that she felt anxiety because he

00:18:25.260 told her that he could speak to dead people and that he could, that he could reach her

00:18:30.100 father and her father had recently died.

00:18:32.440 That part's just weird.

00:18:33.720 I don't know.

00:18:34.200 Hollywood people are just, they just have too much.

00:18:36.180 I mean, I don't even know what to say to that.

00:18:37.640 It's a weird thing to put in a lawsuit.

00:18:39.120 But again, she's, she's trying to compound and be like, I just, I was just a mess and

00:18:42.300 I was so uncomfortable.

00:18:43.800 Anyways, like I said, initially the Hollywood public took her side, but I think everybody

00:18:48.520 is still a little PTSD from the Amber Heard turd and they're going, okay, I'm just going

00:18:53.320 to wait and actually see how this thing plays out.

00:18:55.760 And it's a good thing that they did.

00:18:57.360 Okay.

00:18:58.680 Because then Justin Baldoni responded in a very big way to this lawsuit.

00:19:05.540 11 days later, on December 31st, Justin Baldoni filed a $250 million lawsuit, okay, against

00:19:13.620 the New York Times for libel.

00:19:14.860 And let me tell you, he fully brought some receipts by releasing personal text messages

00:19:20.000 between him and Blake Lively that painted an entirely different picture.

00:19:23.340 And he basically is saying the New York Times intentionally picked and choose, pick and chose

00:19:28.360 certain emails without providing their full context.

00:19:31.260 Like in one email, she's trying to say that they inserted and planted this article, which

00:19:35.320 said that her career was over, but they left out the portions of the email, which made

00:19:40.580 it very clear that they were being sarcastic.

00:19:42.640 And that what actually happened was that he hired a PR crisis team because Blake Lively

00:19:48.500 was being such a monster and dropping these things in the press.

00:19:52.420 And so they were planning to go to battle if she kept going, but they never actually ended

00:19:56.600 up having to go to battle because the public ended up hating her based on her old interviews.

00:20:01.620 And they have proof that they had nothing to do with that article happening.

00:20:05.920 And so they were just laughing behind the scenes at like, oh, well, I guess I did a great

00:20:10.380 job here because we don't have to do anything.

00:20:12.180 People are seeing through Blake Lively all by themselves.

00:20:15.660 And we haven't actually had to counter anything that she said.

00:20:19.920 Also countering another allegation that he was actually invited into Blake Lively's trailer.

00:20:27.080 He dropped the text message receipts while she was breastfeeding.

00:20:30.180 He attached a screenshot of a conversation in which she said to him, I'm pumping in my trailer

00:20:34.940 if you want to work out our lines.

00:20:37.020 He responded to her copy eating with the crew and I will head that way.

00:20:41.300 So if you signal to someone, and by the way, for every woman, it's different.

00:20:44.440 I've seen women that are out in public and will just pop out both of their breasts and 1.00

00:20:48.900 feed their twins like in the middle of a restaurant. 0.77

00:20:50.620 They don't care.

00:20:51.220 Okay.

00:20:51.420 Other people, obviously I have worked through, now this is going to be a fourth child.

00:20:56.520 And when I am in my room back when I was working at Daily Wire and I was breastfeeding my son,

00:21:01.460 if he was latched and I could throw a blanket over myself, I didn't care.

00:21:06.320 I would like to prep the show.

00:21:08.200 Someone might be completely different.

00:21:09.320 They might want to be completely alone.

00:21:10.500 But if you're signaling to your co-star that it's okay to come in the trailer while you're

00:21:15.360 pumping or breastfeeding, why is he going to then understand that on a different occasion,

00:21:21.320 you're actually completely uncomfortable with him doing that.

00:21:24.520 And so to misrepresent that relationship, I think, is what has Justin Baldoni's team

00:21:30.940 extremely upset.

00:21:32.640 They also obviously came back regarding the birthing pornography and called the video rather

00:21:38.740 a deeply personal one with no sexual overtone, obviously.

00:21:43.880 And they said that her trying to frame that video of the director's wife as pornography is 1.00

00:21:50.440 emblematic of the lengths to which Lively and her collaborators are willing to go to

00:21:54.700 defame the plaintiffs.

00:21:55.500 I tend to agree with that.

00:21:56.440 Like I said, I've never heard of someone describing a birthing video, a woman giving birth as pornography. 0.98

00:22:03.760 That seems completely ridiculous.

00:22:05.140 And I want to show you these clips because they are hitting back hard.

00:22:07.940 And I'll tell you this, after the public then kept saying, why did you not file an actual

00:22:11.740 lawsuit?

00:22:12.120 This was a sinister PR move.

00:22:14.180 Blake Lively then moved 11 days later to file a lawsuit.

00:22:18.160 So now she has filed a lawsuit and I don't think she ever wanted to do this.

00:22:21.920 I think she genuinely wanted this to be a PR move and she wanted to leak it to the New

00:22:26.660 York Times.

00:22:27.580 She thought the public would take her side with no questions asked.

00:22:30.400 And instead, the public is saying, no, we have a few questions here.

00:22:33.660 And Justin Baldoni is going all the way to the wall on this.

00:22:38.500 His lawyer is already giving interviews explaining just how nasty her team has played this.

00:22:45.220 The lawyer's name is Brian Friedman.

00:22:46.620 And he stopped by the Megyn Kelly show.

00:22:48.840 And here's some of the things that he had to say.

00:22:50.420 First, he says there used to never be a sexual claim.

00:22:54.960 There never was a sexual claim until she went to that civil rights office. 1.00

00:22:59.180 Take a listen.

00:23:00.500 There was actually no allegation of sexual harassment until the lawsuit was filed.

00:23:07.060 I mean, that that's when the allegations of sexual harassment came up.

00:23:12.280 They didn't come up before them.

00:23:14.560 Well, there was a 17 point memo that you referenced.

00:23:17.660 She was raising some of these issues.

00:23:19.620 Well, that's right.

00:23:20.120 But I mean, in terms of the public, she raised them in the 17 point memo.

00:23:24.180 They had agreed to 17 points that they would agree that there were simple points that everybody would go back and she would return to work.

00:23:35.120 There's a signed document saying they work things out.

00:23:37.660 In the actual lawsuit itself, it says everything went fine from then on.

00:23:43.940 So, you know, and the question really is, why was crisis PR brought in?

00:23:49.340 Crisis PR was brought in because there were negative stories about Justin that were being leaked to the media, not about sexual harassment.

00:23:59.320 There were negative stories about Justin being brought in saying no one likes him.

00:24:05.900 He's been a problem on set, you know, stories like that.

00:24:10.180 And crisis PR was brought in to say this won't be good for the film.

00:24:14.600 Crisis PR was also brought in because there were negative stories about Blake Lively, not that Justin created, but that existed out there.

00:24:23.640 I mean, you know, fans and media can be brutal.

00:24:27.220 They go back through your history.

00:24:28.680 They go back and look and say, what interviews have you given before?

00:24:32.840 How have you treated people?

00:24:34.880 How are you promoting the film in a way where you're promoting your hair care products and in a way that's not true and genuine as far as domestic violence is concerned?

00:24:45.740 They go back and they see those videos.

00:24:47.780 They bring them out organically.

00:24:49.920 That's not Justin doing that.

00:24:52.000 That's not Justin's crisis PR doing it.

00:24:54.520 In fact, what he wants is a successful movie.

00:24:57.080 He wants to protect the movie.

00:24:59.000 And all through the text messages, you'll see over and over and over again him saying, I don't want to hurt her.

00:25:07.440 I want to protect her.

00:25:09.080 Let's give her what she wants. 1.00

00:25:11.040 Let's help her. 0.87

00:25:12.700 That's what he's doing.

00:25:13.780 I can say that's what I also found problematic.

00:25:18.240 And you should actually go watch that entire interview that he gave to Megyn Kelly.

00:25:21.480 But they left out some very crucial vindicating text messages with Justin Baldani being concerned about not wanting to hurt her, but also trying to protect himself when he saw that he was being smeared as this person.

00:25:31.620 Now, I don't know if Justin Baldani is a good guy.

00:25:33.860 I am sure.

00:25:34.740 Listen, you know, I respect him in Hollywood.

00:25:36.100 I think the majority of people that are in Hollywood are not great people.

00:25:38.860 But after reading through the messages that were in context, there is no question in my mind that the New York Times is going to be in very big trouble for libeling, intentionally libeling, very easy emails that they could have presented to the public that showed that the PR people were joking and laughing about the fact that this was happening to her because they view her to be a bad person.

00:25:59.640 But they were not planting these articles in any way, shape or form.

00:26:02.800 And when you remove that context and try to make it sound like Justin was involved in that, and not that he simply said, I want to protect myself, I don't want to hurt her, but I want to protect myself.

00:26:11.260 It's just bad business.

00:26:12.520 And again, who leaked it?

00:26:14.400 Who leaked within 24 hours the New York Times being able to have something to the entire public?

00:26:20.780 It could have only been one person.

00:26:22.860 Obviously, it had to it had to have come from Blake Lively's orbit.

00:26:27.100 That's my view of it.

00:26:28.180 But I also show you why I do believe, and I'm making a guess here, people were very anti-me when I said Amber Heard was going to lose.

00:26:36.020 I just have a way about reading women when it comes to these sorts of things. 1.00

00:26:40.140 And I knew that Amber Heard was not being entirely honest about the Johnny Depp stuff.

00:26:44.360 And everyone was like, oh, she's got a bruise on her cheek. 1.00

00:26:46.380 I just said, mm, doesn't register me as correct.

00:26:48.960 He's been married so long.

00:26:50.160 His wife, Vanessa, former ex-wife, Vanessa Paradise, was coming out in support of him. 0.74

00:26:56.120 Despite having a long marriage, wouldn't she have recognized that he liked to punch women in the face?

00:26:59.500 Everything just registered to me as very wrong about that.

00:27:01.900 And in the end, I was proving right.

00:27:03.160 I'm going to say the same thing about Blake Lively.

00:27:05.740 I don't think this is going to be good for her.

00:27:07.720 And this lawyer's language in terms of saying when people see all the text messages, they are going to realize who the real Blake Lively is, is a strong vote for me.

00:27:18.720 A strong vote that the public, in the end, is going to recognize that Blake Lively was being manipulative.

00:27:24.380 And I'll let you listen to what Brian said about those text messages.

00:27:28.140 And unlike any case that I've handled in my entire career, it's the one case we're going to put every single text message, every single document, everything on a website for everyone in the public to read, come to their own conclusions.

00:27:47.160 And they can determine whether or not there was sexual harassment here, there was a smear campaign, or there was retaliation.

00:27:55.220 Because we have proof and receipts that absolutely and unequivocally show this is not true.

00:28:02.360 Here's what I think happened.

00:28:04.880 I think Blake Lively legitimately did not believe, I think, when she had all that bad press happening, she could not fathom that people didn't like her.

00:28:14.160 I think she truly believed that Justin Baldoni was behind it.

00:28:18.220 I don't think she did this to create a narrative.

00:28:20.980 I think she saw it and said, this has to be him.

00:28:23.440 This has to be him.

00:28:24.600 And unfortunately, I think she was wrong.

00:28:27.400 Okay?

00:28:27.640 And so I think to counter that bad PR, and she saw her reputation going down, she decided to play what she thought was an equally nasty PR game by filing this lawsuit in the Civil Rights Court, never with the intention of ever having to then take it to the real courts. 0.97

00:28:45.600 I don't think that she ever wanted that.

00:28:47.500 Unfortunately, she was wrong.

00:28:49.640 She filed it.

00:28:50.420 And the public then said, wait a second, are you playing a PR game rather than Justin Baldoni?

00:28:54.480 And now she had to back that up by really filing it in court.

00:28:58.400 And what's going to happen is now the entire public is going to see what happened, who was leaking stuff to who.

00:29:04.940 And like I said, my money is on Blake Lively being wrong.

00:29:09.440 I think she is 100% wrong if it doesn't make him a good guy, doesn't make Justin Baldoni a great guy.

00:29:14.780 Please do not think I'm a Justin Baldoni stan.

00:29:16.480 I know nothing about him, and I hate 90% of Hollywood.

00:29:19.960 But in this circumstance, I just think he's going to win the lawsuit.

00:29:23.300 And I think New York Times, based on what I have seen of the what I would describe as doctored correspondences, doctoring it by not giving people the full correspondences, is going to end up having to settle this lawsuit and paying Justin Baldoni, as well as the PR women that are listed in this lawsuit, paying them out for misrepresenting what they actually said.

00:29:42.820 That's my take.

00:29:43.620 You can agree with it.

00:29:44.180 You can not agree with it.

00:29:45.080 Can't wait to see what your comments are.

00:29:46.320 First, I want to just throw it to one of our advertisers, Preborn.

00:29:49.480 You guys know January is considered Sanctity of Life Month, a time that we honor the over 66 million babies whose lives have been tragically ended through abortion.

00:29:57.260 Sadly, since Roe was overturned, babies' lives are at an even greater risk because of the abortion pill.

00:30:01.980 It accounts for over 60% of all abortions, making this tragedy available 24-7. 1.00

00:30:07.240 But in the midst of the darkness, there is always a light that shines, and Preborn is that light.

00:30:11.520 They have rescued over 300,000 babies from abortion.

00:30:15.160 On average, they rescue over 200 babies a day.

00:30:18.080 And when a woman considering abortion hears her baby's heartbeat and sees her baby on the ultrasound, that baby's chance at life doubles.

00:30:23.800 Preborn definitively needs our help.

00:30:25.500 For just $28, the cost of a dinner, you can sponsor an ultrasound to introduce a mother to her baby for the first time.

00:30:32.220 100% of your donation will go towards saving babies.

00:30:35.080 So to donate, just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.

00:31:48.880 All right, guys, question for you.

00:31:51.720 What's your opinion on Lex Friedman?

00:31:53.500 I actually, I want to see what the chat says about this because I have some instincts.

00:32:00.420 I've always got some instincts.

00:32:01.700 Sometimes you guys agree with me.

00:32:02.620 Sometimes you don't agree with me.

00:32:03.560 Sometimes I am proven right.

00:32:05.500 Sometimes I am not proven right.

00:32:07.860 Lex Friedman, if you guys are not familiar with him, is a podcaster and his backstory is just strange.

00:32:12.920 It's odd.

00:32:13.780 He graduates from Drexel University with a PhD in his dad's department.

00:32:19.620 His brother graduated from the same department.

00:32:21.220 He came after the collapse of the USSR.

00:32:25.760 This guy apparently while working on his PhD starts a podcast and every big name in the entire world has been on this podcast.

00:32:32.680 And I guess I could believe that if there was a draw.

00:32:36.660 What I mean by that is, you know, we talk about the it factor.

00:32:38.860 We don't know what the it factor is, but we know when we see it.

00:32:42.340 Lex Friedman would be like the opposite of the it factor. 0.58

00:32:44.400 It is very hard to listen to a Lex Friedman podcast.

00:32:48.440 He has a very monotonous voice and talks like this.

00:32:53.840 And somehow let me tell you the names that have been on his on his podcast, right?

00:32:57.800 Javier Malay, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and recently President Zelensky.

00:33:08.520 Now, people believe that Lex Friedman works for the CIA.

00:33:12.640 Obviously, the CIA has we know this via Project Mockingbird, Operation Mockingbird, that they have people that they just create fame for.

00:33:19.960 They make them famous, you know, allegedly also people like Anderson Cooper, who was a CIA intern.

00:33:25.760 And they give these people a following.

00:33:27.760 They recommend their videos.

00:33:28.800 And the idea of doing that is to promote things that the state wants.

00:33:33.320 OK, they believe he's CIA slash Mossad.

00:33:36.460 We all kind of think they're the same organization.

00:33:38.460 He did do his Ph.D. thesis under a former IDF minister or somebody who works for the IDF who went to Tel Aviv University.

00:33:46.920 And he blocks everyone that calls him CIA or Mossad, which is also interesting.

00:33:50.820 His backstory just doesn't make any sense, you guys.

00:33:54.140 Like I said, if he was some remarkable talent and I'd be like, oh, I know I kind of get it, why everyone's going on his podcast.

00:34:00.060 I can't watch it.

00:34:01.260 It's just it's too boring for me to listen to him.

00:34:04.540 OK.

00:34:05.560 So President Zelensky, OK, our welfare baby mama, we're paying for his lifestyle.

00:34:12.620 We're paying for his wife. 1.00

00:34:13.820 We're paying for this once upon a time who everybody, including The New York Times, acknowledged was a corrupt oligarch, decided to make time from this very busy war.

00:34:24.660 You know, he's always wearing the military fatigue to remind you to get to work and support his war, that he had three hours available to sit down with Lex Friedman.

00:34:31.680 Now, I want you to weigh the press response when Tucker Carlson went over to interview Vladimir Putin.

00:34:39.000 They freaked out.

00:34:39.920 Now, that's what signaled to me that Tucker Carlson is not a plant, right?

00:34:43.860 Because if you are, they'd be like, yes, sit down with him because you're going to give us our narrative.

00:34:48.240 Lex Friedman promoted everywhere by the people that I trust least.

00:34:52.400 Oh, you must watch this.

00:34:54.280 He's sitting down with Zelensky because the press keeps trying to turn him into a hero.

00:34:59.260 And what we're watching, in my view, is two bad faith actors that are trying to sanitize what is happening in that region. 0.62

00:35:06.000 Lex Friedman always plays the role of we need more love and more conversation.

00:35:08.740 I'll talk to anyone, but it's not hard to talk to anyone when you seem to be speaking to people that I'm pretty sure are just kind of like ruling the world.

00:35:16.020 I mean, I think he even sat down with BB Netanyahu.

00:35:17.500 It's like insane.

00:35:18.740 This guy, this podcaster, just booking these people out of nowhere.

00:35:22.660 So, yeah, I'm going to show you a couple of clips from their conversation.

00:35:25.940 First and foremost, the weirdest thing about this that I caught is Lex Friedman inviting Zelensky over to Texas to have a barbecue,

00:35:33.560 but saying that this would be the third time that they met with one another.

00:35:38.980 Take a listen.

00:35:40.360 Well, when you come and visit me in Texas as a guest for the third time.

00:35:45.420 With pleasure.

00:35:46.280 Let's do this.

00:35:47.720 How about you, my friend Joe Rogan and I will go get some Texas barbecue together.

00:35:54.780 Who will pay?

00:35:56.300 That's a good question.

00:35:57.360 Putin.

00:35:57.860 Putin.

00:35:59.120 For everything.

00:36:00.320 He has to pay.

00:36:01.300 Well, yes, we'll invite him to.

00:36:02.520 No, no, no, no.

00:36:03.500 Okay.

00:36:04.020 Without him.

00:36:04.660 Okay, I get it.

00:36:05.460 Understood.

00:36:07.380 Who will pay?

00:36:08.720 I don't know, Zelensky.

00:36:10.480 Do you have a couple of spare billion sitting around from the American taxpayers you've just been funneling money from?

00:36:16.220 It's just, it's not even funny.

00:36:17.320 It's not cute to me.

00:36:18.160 This is not cute to me.

00:36:18.920 You are not selling this to the American tax paper.

00:36:22.080 It is so fraudulent.

00:36:23.000 It is so disrespectful.

00:36:24.260 It's full.

00:36:24.940 Who will pay?

00:36:26.240 Okay.

00:36:27.060 I update. 0.99

00:36:27.760 I still want to punch Zelensky in the face. 0.99

00:36:29.280 I thought this would change my heart against him, and it actually hasn't. 0.98

00:36:32.540 It's only infuriated me further.

00:36:34.340 And he basically alleges throughout this interview that, you know, why would I want to compromise with Vladimir Putin?

00:36:40.760 He says he just thinks Putin, which has obviously been the state-sanctioned opinion for people who don't bother to read Putin's speeches.

00:36:49.580 You cannot rely on the West to tell you what's going on.

00:36:52.960 We are just as severely propagandized.

00:36:55.220 You need to read what the West is saying and what the East is saying and then rely on your discernment, truly.

00:37:02.580 And Zelensky is trying to pull the old Putin crazy.

00:37:05.040 Putin crazy didn't seem to be crazy and out of control during that Tucker Carlson interview that they all freaked out about, right?

00:37:10.880 He seemed to have a very good memory of history and to explain his position, whether you feel he told the truth or not.

00:37:18.040 Seeming like a crazy wild man was not what people took away from that interview, but that's what Zelensky is trying to say to us.

00:37:25.240 So take a listen to him explaining why he just can't imagine compromising with Vladimir Putin.

00:37:31.240 Unfortunately, the reality is that a compromise is needed in order to reach an agreement.

00:37:35.720 When you're understanding the fact that he is no in jail after all the murders, he is not in jail assuming all the murders,

00:37:42.600 and no one in the world is able to put him in his place, send him to prison, do you think this is a small compromise?

00:37:50.900 This is not a small compromise, and to forgive him will not be a small compromise.

00:37:55.920 To forgive, no one will forgive.

00:37:57.600 This is absolutely impossible to forgive him.

00:38:00.280 We cannot get into the head and soul of a person who lost their family.

00:38:03.600 Nobody, nobody, never will accept this.

00:38:06.560 Absolutely impossible.

00:38:08.360 I don't know, do you have children?

00:38:09.940 No, not yet, but I would like to.

00:38:12.480 Yes, God bless.

00:38:14.340 And this is the most important thing in life.

00:38:16.060 And they simply took away the most precious thing from you, will you ask? 0.88

00:38:20.440 Who ruined your life before going to rip their head off? 0.91

00:38:24.100 I'm just curious. 0.97

00:38:25.320 They took your child away.

00:38:26.780 Are you going to ask, who did this?

00:38:28.460 And they will answer, that dude did this.

00:38:30.500 You will say, oh, well, then there are no questions. 1.00

00:38:32.460 No, no, no, you will go f***ing hell and bite their head off. 1.00

00:38:37.020 Someone in the comments just said, Canis is too pregnant for Zelensky. 1.00

00:38:42.940 Yes, I am too pregnant for Zelensky. 0.56

00:38:44.700 I'm too pregnant for his acting.

00:38:46.260 He literally was an actor on a TV series and then became the president, and he's acting there.

00:38:51.320 And while he's trying to tell us, Putin killed people's family, yet you are literally sending

00:38:55.580 an entire generation of Ukrainian Christians to the meat grinder in a war that you know you can't win. 1.00

00:39:01.040 So you're going to call Putin a murderer? 1.00

00:39:02.140 You're a murderer. 0.99

00:39:02.580 I see you as a murderer and the worst kind of murderer because you're taking our tax dollars to do it. 1.00

00:39:07.500 So I'm not persuaded by that.

00:39:09.960 And then finally, we have this clip of basically them discussing how peace can be achieved in that region.

00:39:18.960 Take a listen.

00:39:20.560 Let me ask you a question.

00:39:22.300 What do you think?

00:39:22.980 Will there ever be a day when the Ukrainian people forgive the Russian people and both peoples will travel back and forth again 0.91

00:39:30.240 and marry each other, rekindle and form friendships?

00:39:35.960 Will there be such a time in the future?

00:39:37.360 I think history has long answered this question.

00:39:42.020 I don't know how it will be for us.

00:39:44.660 Ah.

00:39:45.540 It will be in the future.

00:39:47.220 Without a doubt, history has shown this time.

00:39:50.740 And again, after every devastating war, one generation, one country recognizes that it is, was an aggressor.

00:40:08.920 And it comes to realize, this is impossible to forgive.

00:40:16.420 This is precisely the kind of education they've had in Germany for many years, even though these children had nothing to do with it.

00:40:24.000 It was their grandfathers who participated.

00:40:26.660 And not all of them were participants of Nazi Germany's war against, essentially against the world.

00:40:36.280 Yes.

00:40:37.100 And against life.

00:40:39.320 And therefore, they're still apologizing.

00:40:44.300 Apologizing is not easy.

00:40:46.000 They know that they were the aggressors.

00:40:48.740 Okay.

00:40:48.980 We just got to get, we got to get out of this propaganda.

00:40:51.120 We just got it.

00:40:51.700 We just, we just literally have to get out of this.

00:40:54.300 How do you guys feel?

00:40:55.100 You're feeling persuaded to send more billions?

00:40:56.420 He's feeling persuaded to get back to work and give him more money because he's telling you, he's even saying, like, this is like, look what's going on.

00:41:04.320 You know, I have no idea how I got into this propaganda.

00:41:06.580 I'm just here to be the hero.

00:41:08.300 It wasn't because NATO was expanding into Putin's territory after assurances that we would never expand NATO one inch eastward.

00:41:16.280 Don't you see how much emotion and emoting that I'm doing?

00:41:19.080 Don't you understand?

00:41:19.800 I'm now making Holocaust references. 0.87

00:41:21.680 Obviously, I'm the good guy.

00:41:23.200 I look at that guy and I see Henrique Gota.

00:41:25.380 That's who I see.

00:41:26.000 I see a man who's mass murdering Christians and a media that is trying to soft sell him to us. 0.86

00:41:30.980 And I'm just not buying it.

00:41:33.200 Truly, correctly stated, I am too pregnant to buy into Zelensky's BS.

00:41:39.740 Anyways, you guys, before we get into your comments, I do want to very quickly give you some good news.

00:41:44.300 There's like maybe four good people in Hollywood that are decent human beings.

00:41:50.280 And I really loved, I love finding, I love coming across them.

00:41:54.300 This is an old clip, but I'm only bringing it up because Tom Holland just announced his engagement to Zendaya.

00:41:58.300 And I like her as an actress, Zendaya.

00:42:01.280 And I think that their relationship has been healthy and wholesome, which you rarely see in Hollywood.

00:42:07.360 And the reason why I like Tom Holland is because he's a rare example of a young person in Hollywood who is not drinking and doing drugs.

00:42:15.120 And he is speaking about why he stopped drinking at such a young age.

00:42:19.100 And so let's just listen to him explain why for him he realized that drinking was not it.

00:42:26.020 Take a listen.

00:42:27.280 It's interesting.

00:42:28.220 I didn't one day wake up and say, I'm giving up drinking.

00:42:31.880 I just, like many Brits, had had a very, very boozy December, Christmas time.

00:42:37.940 I was on vacation.

00:42:39.180 I was drinking a lot.

00:42:40.560 And I've always been able to drink a lot.

00:42:42.680 And I decided to just give up for January.

00:42:45.000 I just wanted to do dry January.

00:42:46.360 And all I could think about was having a drink.

00:42:50.360 It's all I could think about.

00:42:52.040 I was waking up thinking about it.

00:42:53.780 I was checking the clock.

00:42:54.600 When's it 12?

00:42:56.360 And it just really scared me.

00:42:58.320 I just was like, wow, maybe, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.

00:43:02.080 So I sort of decided to punish myself and say, I'll do February as well.

00:43:06.700 I'll do two months off.

00:43:07.900 If I can do two months off, then I can prove to myself I don't have a problem.

00:43:12.440 Two months go by.

00:43:14.320 And I was still really struggling.

00:43:16.360 I felt like I couldn't be social.

00:43:18.420 I felt like I couldn't go to the pub and have a lime soda.

00:43:21.620 I couldn't go out for dinner.

00:43:23.040 I was really, really struggling.

00:43:25.000 And I started to really worry that maybe I had an alcohol problem.

00:43:30.520 So I decided that I would wait until my birthday, which is June 1st.

00:43:34.080 I said to myself, if I can do six months without alcohol,

00:43:36.780 then I can prove to myself that I don't have a problem.

00:43:39.200 And by the time I had got to June 1st, I was the happiest I've ever been in my life.

00:43:45.100 Like I said, you never see that ever in Hollywood.

00:43:49.420 You never see people speaking about that because it's always so cool to be pictured with a glass of wine.

00:43:54.560 And so congratulations to him and Zendaya on their engagement.

00:43:58.280 I am excited about that because he just seems like a good person.

00:44:00.420 I don't know.

00:44:00.760 You'd see the light in his eyes.

00:44:01.940 You don't normally see that light in the eyes of people that are in Hollywood.

00:44:04.960 Certainly not when they're young do they give up the booze.

00:44:07.360 It's usually when they're much older and they've kind of ruined tons of things and ruined tons of people.

00:44:11.260 Then they're like, I've quit.

00:44:12.280 Alcohol is actually a bad thing.

00:44:14.120 So kudos to them.

00:44:15.980 All right, let's hear what you guys are thinking about Justin.

00:44:18.440 You know what we should have done?

00:44:19.820 Can you run a poll right now, Skylar, in the live chat and say who they think will win this lawsuit,

00:44:25.400 Justin Baldoni or Blake Lively?

00:44:28.540 And we'll read that poll.

00:44:30.140 I'll get to this ad and then we'll get into comments.

00:44:32.900 You can run that poll, right, Skylar?

00:44:35.560 Okay, great.

00:44:36.220 Just reminding you guys also before we get into your comments about American Financing,

00:44:40.660 I know there are a lot of people that are struggling with high credit card bills

00:44:43.120 and there is no better time than now to wipe out that debt and set yourself up for a strong 2025.

00:44:48.940 Because interest rates have fallen and my friends in American Financing can help you access equity in your home

00:44:53.420 at an interest rate in the fives.

00:44:55.140 You heard that.

00:44:55.980 It is in the fives.

00:44:58.260 That is a much lower rate than the average 25% credit card rate.

00:45:01.760 So you can think about how much you could be saving every month.

00:45:04.240 American Financing is saving their customers an average of $800 a month and that is essentially a $10,000 raise to start the new year.

00:45:11.660 And they are closing in as fast as 10 days and even delaying two mortgage payments.

00:45:15.920 So call American Financing today at 800-795-1210.

00:45:19.940 That's 800-795-1210.

00:45:22.360 Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.

00:45:25.780 Again, that's AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.

00:45:29.680 Okay.

00:45:30.180 So we just ran a poll in the chat.

00:45:32.660 The question that we are asking is who will win the lawsuit, Justin Baldoni or Blake Lively?

00:45:40.440 Thus far, I've only received 2,200 votes.

00:45:43.160 But of those 2,200 votes, 92% believe that Justin Baldoni is going to win.

00:45:50.180 Keep the poll running as we go through comments.

00:45:52.240 That means just 8% believe that Blake Lively is going to win.

00:45:56.300 All right, guys, what do you have for me today?

00:45:57.660 What are you guys saying in the comments section?

00:45:59.060 Be nice.

00:45:59.580 Be nice.

00:46:00.580 Alaska Dog Lady writes,

00:46:01.580 My list of trust across all media, mainstream, and independent is down to maybe three whole people.

00:46:07.540 I haven't been pregnant since 2013.

00:46:09.900 And I, too, am too pregnant for Zelensky, right? 0.88

00:46:13.320 I don't even know what's happened, but you just see it and you're like, you're a fraud. 0.95

00:46:17.520 Like, stop. 0.92

00:46:18.700 Stop being so fraudulent. 1.00

00:46:20.780 Like I say, everything is fake and gay. 1.00

00:46:23.720 And I'm watching that and I'm going, this all is very fake. 1.00

00:46:28.100 It is all very fake and gay. 1.00

00:46:29.320 Sarah writes, fake and gay merch for Valentine's Day. 0.99

00:46:33.860 Yes, we are doing that. 0.97

00:46:35.320 We're dropping the next Stand Is Cup, which is going to say everything is fake and gay. 0.98

00:46:39.840 I just approved designs yesterday, so you should expect that announcement early next week.

00:46:44.400 Noelle naturally writes, I feel bad for Colleen Hoover. 1.00

00:46:47.620 That is the author of the It Ends With Us book.

00:46:50.760 Scandalous, shady stuff going down in her first movie.

00:46:53.940 Hopefully, Blake Lively will do the right thing, but she won't want to eat her own words.

00:46:57.480 Yeah, I bet she loves it.

00:46:59.360 It's probably created, they say there's no such thing as bad press and it's probably created so

00:47:03.820 much press about the movie that it was more successful than it would have been because

00:47:07.100 they hated each other.

00:47:07.820 People wanted to see if it translated on screen.

00:47:10.120 Apparently, it didn't.

00:47:11.280 So kudos to the both of them.

00:47:12.980 And I am interested to see what Blake Lively will do.

00:47:15.780 I don't think she wants to go through with this lawsuit. 0.72

00:47:18.420 Like I said, it's just not a good thing.

00:47:20.900 When a lawyer is saying, we're dropping every text message, that means they're feeling good

00:47:25.000 about the case.

00:47:25.660 They're feeling real good about the case.

00:47:27.660 Black Panther writes, where can I find online articles about vaccines?

00:47:32.200 I think I told you guys this, but we are bringing a shot in the dark back this month.

00:47:36.140 A little bit of a delight.

00:47:37.020 It's going to be towards the end of the month.

00:47:38.180 We were hoping it was going to be at the beginning of the month and we're trying to

00:47:39.980 get this platform just right and make sure that everything is perfect for you guys.

00:47:44.140 But it looks amazing.

00:47:45.420 And we always link all of the articles after we go through all the vaccines.

00:47:49.820 So you can come to me for that.

00:47:51.400 It will be all available on CandiceOwens.com.

00:47:54.440 Motherbird writes, friend went to high school with Blake, said she was not a nice person

00:47:58.860 even back then.

00:47:59.980 Yeah, well, it makes sense.

00:48:00.740 She grew up in Hollywood.

00:48:02.000 She had parents that were in the industry.

00:48:03.800 And like I said, she's never been told no.

00:48:05.840 And now she's got a husband who's a puppy dog and can't even tell her, you know, no, 0.95

00:48:09.580 which I, my husband, if I ever went to him and I was like, can you unfollow?

00:48:14.100 My friend broke up with her boyfriend.

00:48:16.260 We're both in our 36, but could you unfollow him to show him?

00:48:20.660 I know you're friends with him, but he would just be like, you're a child.

00:48:24.120 You are a child.

00:48:25.440 Obviously, I'm not going to walk and get a photograph and then unfollow someone.

00:48:30.260 It's so cheesy.

00:48:31.460 It is so lame. 0.95

00:48:33.140 And it is, yes, typical mean girl feminist stuff. 1.00

00:48:36.400 Sarah Jones writes, I like the Tom Holland clip.

00:48:38.380 I went back over your DW podcast over Christmas and I really loved and got something from that

00:48:43.700 article that you found called something like why I stopped drinking.

00:48:46.920 Yeah, that was a really powerful article that moved in my life.

00:48:49.700 As many of you already know, I'm not a big drinker and not just because I'm pregnant all

00:48:53.600 the time, but it just, I feel the way that Tom Holland does.

00:48:56.440 I don't think it adds any value to my life.

00:48:57.880 In fact, I think it subtracts from my life.

00:49:00.020 I wake up tired, anxious.

00:49:02.600 And I've not, in terms of binge drinking, I haven't done that in years, but I mean, having

00:49:06.940 a glass of wine here and there, I probably, I say average, maybe drinking wine three times

00:49:13.640 a year is probably where I'm at right now.

00:49:16.580 Katie F. 0.73

00:49:17.480 And Marie writes, I am not a Lex fan, but the third meeting reference was likely because

00:49:22.880 Lex was trying to convince Zelensky to meet him and Putin in the middle of the ocean the

00:49:28.660 next time they meet.

00:49:30.500 Okay.

00:49:31.120 I will, I'm glad to read that comment.

00:49:32.780 When I heard it, when he said for a third time, I thought he meant you come down to Texas

00:49:37.420 for a third time, but maybe I missed the correct context of that.

00:49:41.000 So I'm glad that you were able to write that and to clarify.

00:49:43.700 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I am reminding you to head to canis.locals.com if you would

00:49:49.140 like to support the show and support our independence.

00:49:51.340 And you are really angry about the fact that we cannot be monetized on YouTube and you feel

00:49:56.040 like they are stealing from us.

00:49:57.280 It's okay.

00:49:57.860 You can keep us independent and keep the show free by giving whatever you can monthly to

00:50:02.020 support us.

00:50:03.200 And it's been great so far.

00:50:04.880 We really appreciate you guys in every capacity.

00:50:07.440 Tomorrow, we're going to get into the America First movement because I feel like it's been

00:50:10.100 a little bit infiltrated and I have a lot of questions about, I know everyone's like,

00:50:13.480 rah, rah, rah, Greenland and Panama, but I just feel like there's something bubbling

00:50:18.460 underneath the surface here.

00:50:19.580 And like, we are maybe all barreling toward some agenda that we're not seeing.

00:50:24.820 And I just, I'd like to pump the brakes a bit and, and really recognize what is happening,

00:50:29.840 who the players are, and to ask a very important question, has our movement been infiltrated?

00:50:36.260 I will see you guys tomorrow.
