Daily Mail reports that Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are taking a break from dating because of the Justin Baldoni Lawsuit and the fallout from it. Is she being used or are people starting to jump into lifeboats because Ryan Reynolds and Blake's Titanic is sinking?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right, guys, happy Wednesday and stop everything because Taylor Swift, and yes, we are taking full credit for this.
00:00:07.440 Stay at home mom, people that have been sending me tips, we are taking full credit for this journalism.
00:00:12.080 But clearly, either she or someone on her team saw our episode yesterday because we have just been on the scent like a hound.
00:00:19.660 And a picture was starting to form that Taylor Swift may have been involved somewhat in the background in what happened to Justin Baldoni.
00:00:26.240 I mean, she was named in the lawsuit for a reason. And like I said on yesterday's show, it was her particular style, these Easter eggs.
00:00:33.180 She was hanging out with them at that time. The New York Times article, a lot of what happened just seemed to have a flavor of Tay.
00:00:40.600 Well, today, her team, and respect to them for the speed at which her marketing team moves, dropped an entire article in the press announcing that her and Blake are taking a break.
00:00:50.560 They're no longer friends because, shocking, Taylor Swift feels used. She always feels used.
00:00:55.880 And she wants nothing to do with the Justin Baldoni situation.
00:00:59.740 Is she feeling, is she being used or are people starting to jump into lifeboats because Ryan and Blake's Titanic, you know, the ship that not even God could sink, is sinking.
00:01:09.040 It's going down because God is God, okay?
00:01:10.940 Also, it's the anniversary of Jussie Smollett's hate crime.
00:01:15.220 So it is indeed a dark day, the hate crime that he staged against himself six years ago.
00:01:19.940 And so I decided to invite on the Nigerian brothers, the Unsundaro brothers, the people who helped him in the plot against himself.
00:01:27.680 I asked them the burning questions that everyone wants to know, like, this is MAGA country.
00:01:33.920 Who exactly came up with that line?
00:01:36.460 You guys are going to crack up. These men are hilarious.
00:01:38.760 So let's get started and welcome back to Candace.
00:01:40.940 All right, guys.
00:01:56.300 So we all know the backstory here.
00:01:58.300 Blake Lively essentially threatened, you could say, Justin Baldoni, calling Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds her beautiful little dragon monsters that she sometimes has to use to get what she wants done.
00:02:10.380 Well, I am pleased to report that we have got live footage of one of her dragons.
00:02:14.820 Check this out.
00:02:15.440 I am so sorry, Queen Khaleesi.
00:02:33.200 It does not seem to be going well for you right now.
00:02:36.660 Well, we'll tell you guys, yesterday we did this episode.
00:02:39.640 Obviously, you saw it.
00:02:40.940 I just was starting to put together this timeline like the psycho that I am and recognize that Taylor Swift was just in the mix a lot.
00:02:47.340 You know, she's listed a special thanks to Taylor Swift on the credits of It Ends With Us.
00:02:52.460 We had a lot of question marks about why that was and again, just her particular flavor and style of I'm the victim and like these horrible men did something to me.
00:03:04.240 And I personally did not feel that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had the star power to get the New York Times to risk their professional reputation to help take down Justin Baldoni.
00:03:17.280 That's like global star power.
00:03:19.180 That's something Kris Jenner can get done.
00:03:21.120 Taylor Swift can get done.
00:03:22.180 Beyonce can get done.
00:03:23.680 Not Ryan Reynolds, not a Blake Lively for sure.
00:03:27.140 Anyway, so today woke up Daily Mail, huge article.
00:03:29.660 And I want to tell you something first and foremost before we even discuss this article.
00:03:31.940 Do not let people mistake you into thinking this is just a gossip column.
00:03:36.180 OK, I've hung around some of these A-listers.
00:03:38.940 We used to be friends with Kanye West.
00:03:39.980 I know how this works.
00:03:41.160 And let me tell you something that is well known in Hollywood is that Taylor Swift has plugs, especially at the Daily Mail, when she wants to get a narrative out.
00:03:49.260 The person that works for her is this woman named Tree.
00:03:51.660 And Tree is allegedly vicious.
00:03:54.180 She will protect Taylor Swift's reputation by any means necessary.
00:03:58.300 And they fault.
00:03:59.480 OK, the editors, the writers, journalists, when she says put something in the mail, it gets done.
00:04:05.560 And I'm not saying that part allegedly.
00:04:06.900 That is a thickety fact.
00:04:08.560 OK, take that to the bank.
00:04:09.900 Start a 401k.
00:04:11.540 Tree knows how when she feels Taylor Swift is being threatened, she's going to protect her reputation.
00:04:17.380 So this Daily Mail article appears very timely.
00:04:20.240 It says Taylor Swift taking a step back from Blake Lively as dramatic legal battle with Justin Baldoni threatens their decade long friendship.
00:04:27.640 And it's got Jane Fetushka as the writer.
00:04:29.980 He is in the entertainment space.
00:04:32.080 He's like the top writer for their entertainment column.
00:04:34.140 And he's not going to just write this unless he was told this.
00:04:37.020 This is how it works in the background.
00:04:38.360 You guys, you have these PR people who come behind and they tell you this is what we want planted.
00:04:42.880 And the more power you have, it will be word from word for word exactly what you want the public to read.
00:04:47.980 So I'll tell you what they want the public to read.
00:04:51.100 It says Taylor Swift is taking a step back from her friendship with Blake Lively after feeling like she was used as an intimidation tactic by the actress in a lawsuit that she never wanted to be embroiled in.
00:05:02.820 For the time being, she is taking a step back from Blake because she doesn't want to get tangled in this more than she already has, which is far more than she ever needed to be, an insider told the Daily Mail.
00:05:13.200 Her friends also think that Blake's I'm Khaleesi and like her, I happen to have dragons text to Justin was uncool and unnecessary because she was essentially used as an intimidation tactic.
00:05:25.620 She was referred to as some kind of pet or possession.
00:05:29.120 Taylor shouldn't even be involved in this at all.
00:05:31.520 She was only going over to visit Blake and Ryan with the understanding that the meeting would be over.
00:05:37.560 A second source said Taylor has politely backed away from it all.
00:05:41.120 She is conscious of her own image and hates that she was even mentioned.
00:05:45.520 OK, so the last part is true.
00:05:47.540 She is politely backed away because she's conscious of her own image.
00:05:50.300 She's extremely conscious.
00:05:51.880 But I just it can't always be that Taylor Swift is being used.
00:05:55.680 She can't always be being used.
00:05:56.580 I'm sorry.
00:05:56.860 It's been like 20 years of her being used.
00:05:59.020 And I don't feel that that is the true story.
00:06:01.560 OK, they acknowledge in this piece of the last time that Blake Lively and Swift were pictured together was in October on a double date with Travis Kelsey.
00:06:11.900 And since basically Blake Lively has filed this sexual harassment complaint with the Californian Civil Rights Department, there has not they have not been pictured together.
00:06:21.660 So, again, I'm going to tell you why I don't believe this article, first and foremost, because it is just Taylor's motor motor modus operandi to constantly say that she's being used and she doesn't know how she got here, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:33.280 But there's also something that doesn't make sense.
00:06:35.460 OK, what do you mean you showed up and the meeting was still going on?
00:06:41.260 What does that mean?
00:06:42.100 What does that mean?
00:06:42.440 I showed up and the meeting was still going on.
00:06:44.220 So what are you being victimized by?
00:06:45.760 If I show up in my friend's house and there's a meeting going on and I didn't know it was still going to go on, I don't need to insert myself in that meeting.
00:06:52.760 Justin Baldoni in his lawsuit stipulates that Taylor Swift peer pressured him.
00:06:57.040 And she is not denying that in this article.
00:06:59.040 She's not saying I didn't speak to him.
00:07:00.340 I said nothing, which I would be like, oh, you just used me as an intimidation tactic in your phone.
00:07:04.920 I had nothing to do with it.
00:07:05.680 She is saying that she then went and heaped praise on Blake Lively's version of the opening scene.
00:07:12.780 That's what his lawsuit states.
00:07:13.780 This is when they were talking about that rooftop scene.
00:07:16.640 OK, so she inserted herself in that.
00:07:18.780 So unless Blake laid her the nudge and said, can you go in there?
00:07:22.200 In which case, Taylor Swift is still responsible for having peer pressured him.
00:07:26.580 Then there's no deniability here.
00:07:28.920 She can't say I had nothing.
00:07:30.340 I don't know how I got involved in this.
00:07:31.840 You got involved in it because you peer pressured him to make a change that he didn't want to make to his movie.
00:07:37.220 So her follow up text, which reads like a psycho.
00:07:40.820 Obviously, I'm Khaleesi.
00:07:41.820 These are my dragons.
00:07:42.680 She said it because you did something.
00:07:45.060 OK, he clearly texted and said, you didn't have to do that.
00:07:48.580 You didn't have to have Taylor Swift there to make me look at your at your edits.
00:07:53.360 And Blake Lively doesn't say, oh, what are you talking about?
00:07:55.460 Taylor Swift said nothing to you.
00:07:56.680 Instead, she doubles and triples down by saying she's my beautiful little monster.
00:08:02.020 Sometimes I have to release these little monsters on the world.
00:08:04.680 So it happened.
00:08:05.600 OK, it actually happened.
00:08:08.080 And Baldoni said that she specifically spoke up about how much she loved the script, which implies to me that unless Taylor Swift is a liar, she read the script.
00:08:17.060 So she involved herself in the script of the movie.
00:08:21.100 Unless she lied.
00:08:22.000 Again, just backing up a friend.
00:08:23.100 Yeah, what she said, love the move.
00:08:25.260 She must have read Blake Lively's edits.
00:08:27.860 So why is she backing out here?
00:08:30.020 Very carefully worded back out because she's smart.
00:08:33.420 OK, Taylor Swift is very smart.
00:08:36.120 She is media savvy.
00:08:37.680 Tree is media savvy.
00:08:39.360 She's looking at this case.
00:08:40.420 OK, if you're her her her point person tree and you're reading through the documents, you're going.
00:08:45.680 Blake Lively is going to lose this.
00:08:47.520 OK, so we're going to take a lifeboat now and say that we don't want to deal with this.
00:08:51.020 She could still, by the way, be friends with Blake Lively in the background.
00:08:54.000 If tree is as savvy as I think she is, she's probably going to say to Taylor, pretend to be shocked that this article came out.
00:09:01.280 But we're getting you out of this publicly.
00:09:03.200 We're going to throw this article in the Daily Mail.
00:09:04.860 Then you tell I don't know what happened.
00:09:06.540 I feel used by tree.
00:09:08.160 I don't know how this article happens.
00:09:09.860 The public thinks you have nothing to do with it.
00:09:11.540 And you are not going to be pictured with her until this thing is over.
00:09:14.220 And this is being slated for 2026.
00:09:17.840 OK, so I don't even think they're not friends anymore.
00:09:19.960 She's the godfather to her children, godmother to her children.
00:09:22.520 But I think that Taylor Swift is publicly backing away from this friendship because she's intelligent.
00:09:28.820 But like I said, I have a scent on this like a hound and I wanted to show you something.
00:09:32.620 And I'm going to show you why I even further do not believe a word that Taylor Swift is saying.
00:09:36.880 I still have question marks about her involvement because something else that got sent to me is completely crazy.
00:09:42.480 OK, seriously, you guys, this is a get seated here.
00:09:46.100 This is super interesting.
00:09:47.620 So I'm showing you something that I actually had saved as a piece of the puzzle, but I didn't know where it quite fit in the puzzle.
00:09:54.640 So I just held it to the side.
00:09:56.000 I was like, OK, this is random.
00:09:57.380 It's a random thing that I know happened, but I don't know why this happened.
00:10:01.020 And I'm not sure why it's important.
00:10:03.580 So apparently toward the end of filming for It Ends With Us and also simultaneously the end of the filming for Deadpool, because remember, these films were filming at the exact same time.
00:10:16.800 And suddenly the It Ends With Us crew decided that they needed a new composer.
00:10:23.940 It's very strange.
00:10:24.760 The movie has a composer and you would not be hiring that person or trying to change that person or fire that person late in the day.
00:10:32.580 You don't just suddenly switch out the composer a year after you begin filming.
00:10:36.800 That sounds very stressful.
00:10:38.040 And what was even more interesting is that not only did they remove the It Ends With Us composer, but they decided to use Deadpool's composer.
00:10:47.280 OK, so here's the clip that I didn't show you before because I wasn't sure about this piece.
00:10:50.680 And here is Deadpool's composer, Rob Simonson, discussing that sudden change in the phone call that he got.
00:10:59.180 Take a listen.
00:10:59.980 Again, this is Deadpool's composer, Rob Simonson, appearing on the Score podcast.
00:11:05.000 So there was like a week of recording left on Deadpool, and I suddenly get a text from Blake, and she sent a little video saying, you know, I'm doing this thing, need a score.
00:11:31.600 Can you deliver it in a week?
00:11:35.000 And I said, I don't think a week, but maybe three, if we have three.
00:11:42.560 So that materialized.
00:11:44.760 And yeah, so it was sequential.
00:11:46.200 Was able to kind of finish up Deadpool.
00:11:49.420 But I was going from the dub of Deadpool and going back to the studio at night working on Blake's film.
00:11:57.220 In a week?
00:11:57.700 It was a little nutty.
00:11:58.440 Well, it ended up being about a month.
00:12:04.240 I have to wonder, I mean, no interest in dishing, but was there a composer before that they, or did they just one day wake up and say, oh, you know what we need?
00:12:19.740 A score.
00:12:21.720 Call that guy who's doing my husband's movie.
00:12:24.720 Maybe he has time.
00:12:25.900 I mean, how do you end up getting a call with we're in that kind of a pinch unless I kind of guessed correctly?
00:12:32.960 Yeah, I think probably it was a, it was a scenario of a, of a last second replacement.
00:12:43.140 A last second replacement of a composer in which someone got kicked out of It Ends With Us and they pulled over this guy from Deadpool last, last minute, the umpteenth hour.
00:12:56.460 What could, what could have happened?
00:12:57.500 I didn't know what to do with this information.
00:12:58.660 I was like, okay, just store it, Candace.
00:13:01.080 Something, something will pop up and a piece of this will make sense.
00:13:04.420 So get ready.
00:13:05.500 Okay.
00:13:06.360 Yesterday, somebody sends me an email.
00:13:08.760 It's always, I'm telling you the culture, man, we are on these people.
00:13:11.600 We are just like, it's a whole FBI unit of like stay at home moms, you know, dads that are really good at tech sending me information.
00:13:19.140 So this woman puts on my radar that there's a Reddit post, an anonymous Reddit post, I kid you not, that went up six months ago, six months ago during the week of the It Ends With Us premiere.
00:13:33.300 Now, typically a Reddit post, anonymous, who cares, right?
00:13:35.200 You're like, okay, well, like this seems like a stretch.
00:13:36.420 No, it's not a stretch.
00:13:37.120 This is amazing.
00:13:37.680 This person correctly stated everything that was going to happen.
00:13:43.600 Well, since what has happened since and what was happening in the background, essentially, they present themselves as like, I know the person, a person that is going through this.
00:13:53.060 Here is what is going on.
00:13:54.520 And you're not going to believe what is going on and why it's happening.
00:13:57.420 And of course, when this person posted on Reddit, no one believed her because who would believe it on his post?
00:14:01.960 A person saying that there's all this drama happening in the background.
00:14:04.700 The date on this post is August 12th.
00:14:07.420 Okay.
00:14:07.640 So just to give you the timeline, It Ends With Us, world premiere was August 6th.
00:14:12.060 That's when they had the red carpet premiere.
00:14:13.660 Justin Baldoni gets put into the basement.
00:14:15.760 August 9th is when you, me, if we wanted to, could go see it in theaters.
00:14:19.980 This person on August 12th decides to write a whole long post because they're overcome with emotion and they don't know where to drop it.
00:14:25.980 And that's what it's for, right?
00:14:27.240 You can't say it to people that you know, so you just drop it on the platform.
00:14:30.940 And look what this person says.
00:14:33.360 This is amazing.
00:14:34.200 Okay.
00:14:34.360 I'm going to read you the post in this entirely.
00:14:36.640 This is in the Reddit feed for Colleen Hoover.
00:14:40.400 This user writes, okay, I know a lot of the inside drama for It Ends With Us, and I just don't know who to share it with.
00:14:46.540 So here we are.
00:14:48.620 I'm obviously using a throwaway, but I know someone who worked on the movie for most of its run who would have gotten these details piping hot
00:14:55.180 and not some grapevine situation.
00:14:57.260 They told me firsthand what they know.
00:14:59.200 I'll give you the bullet points.
00:15:00.960 Supposedly, Blake felt that Justin made her uncomfortable on set.
00:15:04.740 One instance in particular, they said, was that Justin told Blake that she looked sexy in what she was wearing on set.
00:15:10.680 I don't know the context around it.
00:15:12.700 Pause there.
00:15:13.480 Fact check.
00:15:14.000 True.
00:15:14.400 It was in Blake Lively's lawsuit.
00:15:15.820 She said that he used the word sexy.
00:15:17.720 It's a huge part of a lawsuit that we then found out in December.
00:15:20.300 This person's dropping this tea in August, and Justin Baldoni's offense was this was a word that she introduced into our lexicon, so to speak, in terms of our friendship.
00:15:30.340 She used to say sexy.
00:15:31.680 So when I said sexy, I thought that was an okay term.
00:15:34.940 So this person knows that.
00:15:35.980 It's in both of their lawsuits.
00:15:38.000 Next, they say, apparently, Justin wasn't happy with the original editors being cut out of the movie.
00:15:44.160 So he hired his own team to do his version of the movie.
00:15:47.840 Blake wanted to do her own version of the movie as a result, but Sony said no.
00:15:52.260 Again, that fact check's true.
00:15:53.640 We know that there were two versions that ended up being created.
00:15:57.240 So Blake goes to Sony and threatens to go to the New York Times with a story that says that Justin was sexually harassing her on set if they don't let her have her own version.
00:16:11.200 This is crazy, okay, crazy, because in Justin Baldoni's suit, he alleges that for months, she was Blake Lively was colluding with the New York Times for months.
00:16:22.940 And I'm going, where is he getting for months?
00:16:24.400 We've now traced this back to December 18th.
00:16:26.840 Well, this must be the version is that she basically said, give me what I want or I will go to the New York Times.
00:16:33.100 Now, this is all an allegation, but it's fact checking true because she ended up going to the New York Times and actually doing this, okay, in the background.
00:16:40.760 So if Sony told her, no, you don't get to edit our film, she says, I will go to New York Times and blast you for sexual harassment.
00:16:46.800 Let's keep reading what this person dropped.
00:16:49.160 Sony freaks out and says, okay, whatever you want.
00:16:52.260 Again, when you read through Justin's complaint and what was happening behind the scenes with Sony, this, I would say, fact checks true based on the evidence and documents that I've seen.
00:17:00.640 It then says, Justin is banned from the Sony lot.
00:17:03.380 I don't think forever, just for the run of the movie, but I could be wrong.
00:17:06.280 That would make sense if they're worried about a Me Too situation.
00:17:09.800 They're going to be like, okay, we don't want this to happen, and so we're going to separate from you creatively, not let you get involved or do anything.
00:17:17.280 This is the reason how – this is how he ends up in the basement.
00:17:19.980 It then says, Blake hires T-Swift's music video editors to do her version while she's filming in Italy for something else.
00:17:28.820 Guess what?
00:17:29.220 That fact check's true as well.
00:17:31.560 Blake Lively went to Italy to film A Simple Favor 2, another movie, and we had never had this tip that she hired Taylor Swift's music video editor, okay?
00:17:42.600 Next, Blake has a friends and family screening to get thoughts with lots of A-listers.
00:17:49.260 Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, I think, et cetera, et cetera.
00:17:52.700 Now, why is that stunning to me?
00:17:54.140 Because another piece I couldn't figure out is why in the credits, when they make fun, if it ends with us, and they put in Gordon Reynolds, if you could pull that credit up right now, Skylar, if we could pull in the credits from It Ends With Us, if we have it.
00:18:06.460 They also included Bradley Cooper, and I didn't know why.
00:18:09.660 I was like, why is she giving a special thanks to Bradley Cooper in the It Ends With Us?
00:18:15.400 Why did Blake Lively move to do that?
00:18:16.760 That made no sense to me.
00:18:17.640 This then locks that in.
00:18:19.960 Bradley Cooper then sees the edit that was done with Taylor Swift's editor.
00:18:23.960 This person had the T.
00:18:26.180 Let's keep, yep, there we go right there.
00:18:27.840 So you see, we're pulling this up now.
00:18:29.240 Gordon Reynolds, that top line.
00:18:30.780 I was like, why is she thanking Bradley Cooper, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, she wore her outfit, Austin Swift.
00:18:36.680 I was like, why are we thanking Bradley Cooper?
00:18:39.040 Well, this person has connected that dot for us very quickly.
00:18:41.760 Let's keep reading what they had to say.
00:18:44.920 So she gets their thoughts.
00:18:45.900 Everyone is like, oh, this movie makes no effing sense.
00:18:50.760 Blake realizes she needs to hire an experienced film editor to fix it.
00:18:55.160 So Blake uses a T. Swift song in the movie that the studio loves having in there.
00:19:00.960 Again, that fact check's true.
00:19:02.100 We all know that they use a Taylor Swift song and they did a lot of press about that.
00:19:06.100 Taylor Swift finds out that the original composer for the movie is someone that she worked with in the past that was mean to her.
00:19:14.420 And she says it's either me or it's him.
00:19:17.860 So you can use my song, but you got to get rid of this composer.
00:19:22.120 Sony fires that composer to keep the Taylor Swift song.
00:19:26.860 I think that's everything I know.
00:19:28.860 Guys, guys, guys.
00:19:32.220 I'm feeling that every single bit of that post, which happened four months before the general public was aware of anything going on before any lawsuits were filed, has to be absolute facts.
00:19:47.220 So that, again, puts Taylor Swift at the center of this It Ends With Us drama saga composers leaving music in there.
00:19:55.620 She was involved during this time heavily with Ryan Rettles and with Blake Lively.
00:20:03.060 And for that reason, my friend, I am sorry, but you have to be subpoenaed.
00:20:06.700 I'm sorry.
00:20:07.460 I'm sorry.
00:20:07.880 You're coming.
00:20:08.300 You're coming to court.
00:20:09.020 I am subpoenaing Taylor Swift into this lawsuit that I had nothing to do with.
00:20:11.780 But I'm telling you right now, Justin Baldoni, subpoena her because she's got something to do with this.
00:20:16.440 OK, I'm not saying how much she has to do with this, but I'm saying that Reddit post is giving me like we're on the money here.
00:20:22.900 Sorry, Tree.
00:20:23.780 We're probably going to have to subpoena Bradley Cooper, too.
00:20:26.560 I think I think Bradley Cooper's got to come.
00:20:27.960 Sorry, guys.
00:20:28.500 I want everybody in the courtroom.
00:20:29.580 OK, I'm going me.
00:20:30.520 I'm going.
00:20:30.980 I'm going to bring Savannah.
00:20:31.740 I'm going to be dressed up.
00:20:32.340 I am watching this go down next year.
00:20:35.260 Everyone has to be subpoenaed.
00:20:37.180 There was much more going on here than meets the eyes.
00:20:39.620 OK, this is like an octopus.
00:20:41.240 She's like covering everything.
00:20:42.780 It's got more tentacles, arms than we could have ever imagined.
00:20:46.540 And by the way, speaking of subpoenas, we are especially subpoenaing Colleen Hoover.
00:20:50.220 OK, the writer of the book, because there is something that stinks to high heaven there, because why did she delete her Instagram on January 22nd?
00:20:58.840 OK, she didn't delete it when Blake Lively filed.
00:21:00.780 She was with Blake Lively, all this stuff.
00:21:02.220 She didn't delete it when Justin Baldoni filed.
00:21:04.240 I think he he filed a couple of days later.
00:21:08.820 Why did she move to delete her Instagram on January 22nd after Brian Friedman started making the rounds, signaling that he was going to subpoena all of these communications?
00:21:19.820 I think we're trying to delete a digital trail.
00:21:22.900 I don't like it.
00:21:23.700 I also don't like that shortly after we had this announcement from a Variety article.
00:21:30.520 I mean, shortly after her little sit down with Blake Lively, we showed you this clip.
00:21:35.780 I'm going to show it to you again, where she doesn't seem surprised when Blake Lively says, like, oh, if Colleen gets her movie back, I would love to be in the sequel.
00:21:44.980 This was on CNN.
00:21:45.860 Just reminding you, OK, so this is her and Blake Lively having this conversation during the week that I think it was August 7th.
00:21:54.620 Yeah, August 7th, when their movie, It Ends With Us, came out, reminding you what they said for a reason.
00:22:00.480 Take a listen.
00:22:01.520 Is there a chance that we could have a sequence?
00:22:05.220 What chance that you could have a what?
00:22:07.020 A sequence like it starts with this.
00:22:10.180 I mean, if Colleen has her rights, I'll go anywhere.
00:22:12.980 I'll follow this woman anywhere.
00:22:14.780 Y'all heard her.
00:22:17.940 Y'all heard her.
00:22:19.480 I did hear her.
00:22:20.460 And I heard you, Colleen.
00:22:21.480 You didn't seem surprised by that.
00:22:22.640 And Justin Baldoni already owned the rights.
00:22:24.080 You sold them to him.
00:22:25.440 Wayfair Studio already owned the rights.
00:22:26.720 So what did you two know that the general public didn't know?
00:22:29.720 And then following that little sit down, then start looking into Colleen Hoover.
00:22:34.020 And she, at some time around this period, at least according to this Variety article, launched her own production company with the aim of getting, you know, control over her future.
00:22:45.620 Books.
00:22:46.260 Okay.
00:22:46.760 Look at this.
00:22:47.380 This is Variety article that was published on October 7th.
00:22:50.640 And it's saying Colleen Hoover novel.
00:22:52.740 This is another one.
00:22:53.540 Reminders of him.
00:22:54.840 Sets movie adaptation at Universal for Valentine's Day 2026.
00:22:59.020 Okay.
00:22:59.860 Buried in that article.
00:23:01.360 It says she and Hoover, and they're referring to a partner, her partner Levine, will produce through their newly launched production company, Heartbones Entertainment.
00:23:13.280 So I think something's going on here.
00:23:15.920 I think that we're going to have to bring in some Heartbones Entertainment execs.
00:23:20.740 I even went so far as to look up their LLC and see if there had been any movement.
00:23:25.720 So she filed for Heartbones Entertainment LLC in Beverly Hills in California in January of 2023.
00:23:34.080 I'll add it to our timeline.
00:23:35.960 But there was a change.
00:23:37.160 Go back to that.
00:23:37.940 And this screenshot doesn't show you.
00:23:40.300 She changed her agent for this LLC in October.
00:23:45.300 So right around the time that this came and this announcement came of Heartbones Entertainment, she moved to make her agent a very, very high-flying law firm, a lawyer there that works for a law firm that's recently changed its name.
00:24:00.340 I mean, they repped everyone from Johnny Depp to Brad Pitt.
00:24:03.760 I mean, A-list, A-list.
00:24:05.740 Jake Gyllenhaal.
00:24:07.360 And I'm going, what's that move about?
00:24:08.860 I've got questions.
00:24:09.680 I've got to dig a little into Colleen Hoover, this production company being launched, a little, ha, ha, ha, you heard her.
00:24:15.780 Yep, we did hear her, Colleen.
00:24:18.280 We did hear, it's echoing in my mind, Colleen.
00:24:20.900 And I find you to be suspicious.
00:24:22.360 And I find Taylor Swift to be suspicious.
00:24:24.060 And from what I know about Taylor Swift and how she got her master's and how the public still doesn't really understand how that happened from a business perspective.
00:24:33.760 And yeah, it's all about the press.
00:24:35.380 It's all about the press.
00:24:35.960 If you can win the press war, then you can kind of do whatever you want in the background.
00:24:39.640 And I am feeling, I'm getting vibes, that this entire move was about sinking Justin Baldoni, potentially, because they just wanted to get this movie and the sequel out of his hands.
00:24:53.700 And a better story would have been, well, we're giving it to Colleen Hoover.
00:24:56.520 She's the book owner.
00:24:57.320 She has to own her master's, right?
00:24:59.480 Rather than, who invested in that, by the way?
00:25:02.160 Harp owns her team.
00:25:02.760 I'm just wondering, does she own it 100%?
00:25:04.240 100% did Ryan and Blake make an investment in it?
00:25:09.000 I want to see their Instagram communications.
00:25:10.860 You can't just, like, throw bleach on it and smash a file and think that we're not going to find it.
00:25:14.600 There's digital footprints, Colleen, and I'm going to need yours.
00:25:16.980 I'm going to need yours immediately, okay?
00:25:18.940 So anyways, everyone right now is scattering into the wind, including, look at this headline, Blake Lively's own brother-in-law.
00:25:25.500 Okay, so Blake Lively has a sister that is more talented than her.
00:25:28.400 Her name is Robin Lively.
00:25:29.400 Absolutely loved her in Teen Witch.
00:25:32.820 Really a fantastic movie, Robin.
00:25:35.100 Anyways, Robin is married to a guy, and he initially came out and was throwing shade at Justin Baldoni.
00:25:42.840 And look at this headline, Blake Lively's brother-in-law apologizes.
00:25:46.000 This is today, guys.
00:25:47.200 For anything unkind, he said amid Justin Baldoni drama, because now we're chasing down the real bullies, right?
00:25:53.440 And so, by the way, and I think there's another headline of him saying that, People Magazine is covering it.
00:25:59.140 I want to say I respect that.
00:26:01.020 I respect if you got it wrong, like, legitimately, and you maybe really thought she was sexually assaulted.
00:26:06.460 Now you've read through the complaint, and you're saying, you know what, I shouldn't have done that.
00:26:10.380 That is, like, respectable right there.
00:26:12.140 It's the people like Brandon Sklenner who are silent right now, who hyped this, read the complaint, read the complaint.
00:26:19.540 We read it, and then we read Justin's, and it is despicable that you threw a guy under the bus, and I think Brandon Sklenner, he's got to be subpoenaed, okay?
00:26:28.120 He absolutely must be subpoenaed into my courtroom.
00:26:32.240 That's how I feel.
00:26:33.140 I want Brandon Sklenner, Colleen Hoover, and Taylor Swift subpoenaed into this courtroom.
00:26:39.220 And an article in the Daily Mail is not going to stop that Taylor Swift team, so we will pause there.
00:26:44.800 Guys, I have literally the most hilarious—this interview is going to make your day.
00:26:49.680 Before we get there, though, I have to tell you, this is a very big day for me.
00:26:53.080 I'm really excited.
00:26:54.480 I am just beside myself.
00:26:56.500 It has been such a labor of love, but our new website is up, CandiceOwens.com.
00:27:00.580 I've been telling you about that.
00:27:01.620 All of you guys emailing me about a Shot in the Dark series.
00:27:04.120 Today I officially launched the new website at CandiceOwens.com.
00:27:07.320 Obviously, I could not have done it without the help of the people that developed this website at Patmos Development.
00:27:13.560 So here's what we're offering.
00:27:14.780 This is obviously—some of this is free, and some of it is behind a paywall.
00:27:18.700 And just being honest with you, this was—this is the largest investment I've ever made that me and my husband have ever made in ourselves.
00:27:25.840 And so it was not—this has not been an easy project, but I just believe in the work that we're doing, and I don't want to be subject to YouTube's policies to be able to bring in, you know, a Shot in the Dark or talk about vaccines as we're doing the Emmanuel Macron series.
00:27:41.000 So if you go to CandiceOwens.com, you can join the book club.
00:27:43.700 So many people have been asking about all the books that we read.
00:27:46.340 We're going to meet twice a month on this website.
00:27:48.740 First book up is going to be Chaos, obviously, because I had been—that is the book that broke my brain.
00:27:54.580 There's exclusive content that's going to be up there, A Shot in the Dark, obviously, being back.
00:27:58.440 So the first 10 episodes are officially up if you want to subscribe to that and only that.
00:28:03.880 And then we just released a new episode every two weeks, as we were doing when I was at the Daily Wire.
00:28:09.060 I can't wait for you guys to see the Birth Control series, because that one completely shocked me to learn what was in there.
00:28:14.780 But it makes all of this stuff safe.
00:28:16.920 Also, of course, the Macron episodes that would never be able to survive on here are going to be up.
00:28:22.500 Those will not be put behind a paywall, so don't worry.
00:28:25.340 First episode will be on YouTube as we introduce you to it.
00:28:27.760 And then our upcoming Becoming Brigitte series will live on the website for the things that they will definitely strike us for here on YouTube.
00:28:36.360 So if you want to join the book club, it's just $9.99 a month, which I felt was like a really great price for access to literally everything.
00:28:42.520 $16.99 a month, and as always, the podcast episodes will still be free.
00:28:47.840 So do not worry if you're not in a place right now where you can do that.
00:28:51.040 And there will be all of these free and paid versions on the website, a lot more communication.
00:28:56.460 I'm hoping to make like a mom Reddit, like a mom edit, where we can talk and freely exchange information for all of us who don't vax our children.
00:29:02.720 So that will be fun as well.
00:29:03.700 Anyways, I just want to thank Patmos.tech.
00:29:06.920 They developed the website, and more importantly, to thank my husband, because this is just the stuff that he does behind the scenes.
00:29:14.160 And it has been a killer season for him getting this together, as well as my team, my producers, Mark, Skyler, Chris.
00:29:21.500 Everyone has played a part in this.
00:29:22.900 So canisowins.com, and we have all that extra information.
00:29:26.020 Okay, guys.
00:29:27.340 Abel and Ola on Sandiro.
00:29:30.640 Listen, six years ago, a terrible thing happened.
00:29:32.540 Black guy walking through Chicago got beat up by some MAGA people.
00:29:36.720 And then we found out that he maybe beat up himself.
00:29:39.420 But it was a traumatizing thing for him to go through, nonetheless.
00:29:42.260 So I just would like to show you this clip of Jussie on Jussie Smollett on ABC News after the horrific incident that has never been happened before, a hate crime against thyself.
00:29:53.000 Take a listen.
00:29:54.440 Who says empire this MAGA country?
00:29:59.640 Ties a noose around your neck and pours bleach on you.
00:30:06.720 And this is just a friendly fight?
00:30:08.360 I will never be the man that this did not happen to.
00:30:11.760 I am forever changed.
00:30:14.520 I have fought for love.
00:30:16.060 I'm an advocate.
00:30:18.080 I respect too much the people who I am now one of those people who have been attacked in any way.
00:30:27.040 You do such a disservice when you lie about things like this.
00:30:30.560 If the attackers are never found, how will you be able to heal?
00:30:35.680 Um, I don't know.
00:30:44.100 Let's just hope that they are.
00:30:46.440 You know what I'm saying?
00:30:47.600 Like, let's not go there yet.
00:30:50.560 Let's, um...
00:30:52.080 I'm not laughing.
00:30:55.740 You're laughing.
00:30:56.400 And for those of you that are laughing in the chat, I'm completely disgusted with you.
00:30:59.000 This was a real attack.
00:31:00.200 It's just one that we've never considered.
00:31:02.340 Um, and I felt when he said that, like, we got to find these attackers.
00:31:06.760 Like, I had to find them.
00:31:08.860 And I did find them.
00:31:09.900 And so, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to cut.
00:31:11.880 We filmed this interview with them yesterday so we could roll it today.
00:31:15.800 So I'm going to roll it for you guys.
00:31:17.280 And then I will see you for live questions.
00:31:19.840 And I promise you, this interview is going to make your day.
00:31:24.020 Take a listen.
00:31:25.780 Abel and Ola, I have been meaning to interview you guys for quite some time.
00:31:30.960 I mean, really fantastic, fantastic work.
00:31:33.580 I guess my first question really is,
00:31:36.260 how much would it be if I wanted to book you to conduct a hate crime against myself?
00:31:42.360 At this moment, I'm assuming prices have gone up.
00:31:44.440 Yes, definitely.
00:31:46.680 It's not no longer $3,500.
00:31:49.800 It's all right.
00:31:51.560 We, we, we've 100x'd that.
00:31:54.940 So, yes.
00:31:56.480 Okay.
00:31:56.960 So you might be out of my budget.
00:31:58.620 There's a lot of questions here that I think many people have.
00:32:01.420 But I guess my first question is, were there, my second question, rather,
00:32:04.800 were there no white people available for this particular park?
00:32:08.000 Because I think if you're going to try to do, you know, this is MAGA country.
00:32:11.840 I got, you know, assaulted by some white people.
00:32:15.000 Maybe trying to cast some white guys in this park might have been good.
00:32:20.760 Yes, I agree.
00:32:22.400 Let me explain something.
00:32:24.340 I blame for this whole thing President Trump, for this whole experience that went down.
00:32:30.640 And the reason I blame him is because in 2016, he did not address the DEI issue.
00:32:38.440 So we were DEI hires.
00:32:41.520 That's why he just used us.
00:32:44.180 So I blame President Trump.
00:32:46.080 So can you tell me, how did Jesse breach, I need to know how the conversation started,
00:32:52.680 because it's such an awkward conversation to have.
00:32:55.200 Like, can you assault me and pretend to be white guys?
00:32:59.020 So I just need to hear you guys tell me how it went down.
00:33:03.460 Yeah, so he initially texted me saying that he wants to speak with me on the low,
00:33:09.320 that I should come meet him at Cinespace, where they film Empire.
00:33:13.380 So I went to go meet him, and he was driving me home, and he was smoking weed, of course.
00:33:20.480 He always does.
00:33:21.700 And he just randomly said, I want you to beat me up.
00:33:29.040 Yeah, crazy, right?
00:33:31.560 But before he said that, he did say, Kim K, she had just gotten robbed in Paris, her family.
00:33:40.700 And he was telling me how that was staged.
00:33:44.220 That's what he said.
00:33:45.340 He said it was completely fabricated, that it was a publicity stunt.
00:33:49.620 So he was trying to let me, like, trying to convince me to do this.
00:33:55.440 And then he was like, yeah, I want you to beat me up.
00:33:57.980 So I was at first confused.
00:33:59.860 I didn't say anything.
00:34:00.600 And I waited for him to say something else, because I was dumbfounded.
00:34:05.120 And then he said, yeah, I need you to beat me up, fake beat me up.
00:34:09.600 So then he then proceeded to ask me if my brother would do it.
00:34:13.280 And I said, sure, he would.
00:34:15.880 So that's what happened.
00:34:17.980 So you're just in a car, and he's like, remember that Kim K thing?
00:34:20.900 That entire thing was fake.
00:34:22.080 Which, by the way, I have not heard that.
00:34:23.440 So that's very interesting that he would say that.
00:34:25.460 And maybe he would know.
00:34:26.820 Who knows?
00:34:27.860 But so he's just saying to you, like, I need you to do this.
00:34:31.060 You're saying your brother's instantly in.
00:34:34.200 When did he kind of spell out for you the plan of how he wanted to go down?
00:34:39.000 And also, did he tell you why he wanted you to do it?
00:34:41.820 Is he just like a PR stunt?
00:34:44.800 Yeah.
00:34:45.120 So initially, he—so we went to go meet my brother that day.
00:34:50.640 When he drove me home, we saw my brother.
00:34:53.360 He got in the car, and then he laid out the details, exactly what he wanted us to do.
00:35:00.700 And then we did a drive-thru.
00:35:03.500 Not a drive-thru, a run-thru.
00:35:05.160 Run-thru, yeah.
00:35:06.500 Like rehearsal.
00:35:07.540 Dress rehearsal.
00:35:08.420 Dress rehearsal.
00:35:10.200 Yeah.
00:35:10.880 Where we went to the location.
00:35:12.980 He picked out everything.
00:35:14.760 All the details, he picked it out.
00:35:16.400 And he said a camera would be right there, that we're going to do it right here by the stairs.
00:35:22.180 And the camera would capture everything.
00:35:24.860 And he did mention that it was for publicity.
00:35:28.200 Well, he didn't say it.
00:35:29.940 It was implied that it was supposed to be for publicity because he said he was going to disperse it to the media companies.
00:35:38.960 And he never—what he didn't say was he never said it was going to be reported to the police, which then was criminal.
00:35:46.820 Okay, so whose idea was the bleach?
00:35:51.280 Because that's a very compelling part of the story.
00:35:53.080 I mean, I've been Black a long time, I would say.
00:35:55.380 And when I think of crimes against Black people, just from my experience, no one, like, throws bleach because it's not going to dye your skin white per se.
00:36:04.820 Okay, so whose genius idea was the bleach?
00:36:08.380 So, actually, it was originally supposed to be gasoline.
00:36:14.240 But I did not feel comfortable throwing gasoline on somebody, so I changed it to bleach.
00:36:20.360 Yeah.
00:36:20.800 So it's actually a better option.
00:36:25.000 That's a good touch.
00:36:26.420 So you—okay, so you got the bleach in there.
00:36:28.420 Now, when he recommended the gasoline, what even—why even the gasoline?
00:36:36.020 I don't know.
00:36:37.220 Dramatics?
00:36:38.100 I don't know.
00:36:40.100 I don't know Jesse personally.
00:36:43.640 Yeah, but he doesn't sound like the brightest, you know, maybe the brightest of stars, so to speak, because I don't know why would you—and by the way, gasoline, kind of expensive, you know?
00:36:53.620 Right.
00:36:55.780 Okay, so here's another question.
00:36:56.880 Black people, obviously, just going into some Black science here, we don't particularly love the cold.
00:37:02.420 So that was one of the first things that flagged me as weird.
00:37:05.420 I said, listen, you can't tell me that Black people are out during a polar vortex.
00:37:11.300 Was the polar vortex accidental?
00:37:14.120 Did you pick that night accidentally?
00:37:16.440 It was very accidental.
00:37:18.860 So Jesse wanted it to be done.
00:37:21.820 My brother could go more into it.
00:37:23.260 He wanted it to be done before we left for Nigeria.
00:37:26.880 So we already had a trip going to Nigeria that we booked three months prior.
00:37:31.220 So he reached out to us, and he knew we were going to Nigeria.
00:37:35.620 So he asked, hey, when are you guys going to Nigeria?
00:37:39.000 Oh, tomorrow?
00:37:40.420 Well, I need it done today.
00:37:43.080 You know, and that's how it went down.
00:37:44.620 And we were only going to be in Nigeria for two weeks.
00:37:48.260 And he said, no, he can't wait for two weeks.
00:37:51.440 And we have an idea why that might have happened.
00:37:56.420 Yeah.
00:37:56.900 It was kind of crazy because his flight, he was coming back from New York that day, and his flight kept getting delayed.
00:38:05.840 It got delayed, like, twice, where we had to change the original time of 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. in the morning.
00:38:15.180 And he still wanted to go on with the plan.
00:38:17.520 He said, no, we're still doing it.
00:38:19.200 So that's what happened.
00:38:21.180 He wanted us to do it before we left to Nigeria.
00:38:24.300 So you guys are communicating, and he's like, no, it's still on.
00:38:27.240 Like, is this just on text?
00:38:28.500 Okay, so all of this is being documented.
00:38:32.340 And when you realized how many degrees it was not that night, did you, as Black men, have some second thoughts about whether you were going to embrace this polar vortex?
00:38:45.080 Were there any second thoughts?
00:38:47.080 There was four thoughts.
00:38:49.080 Four thoughts.
00:38:50.120 Man, it was cold as hell.
00:38:52.020 It was colder than penguin feet.
00:38:53.960 I'm saying, there was times we were like, you know what, let's just go back, bro.
00:38:57.940 Let's just go back.
00:38:59.700 Yeah, actually, because he was late.
00:39:03.000 He was not at the exact spot exactly at 2 a.m., so we gave him literally a couple minutes to show up because we weren't going to wait out there.
00:39:13.640 But, Lord behold, he showed up at the last minute.
00:39:17.800 Wow, unbelievable.
00:39:19.000 And so when he gave you the script, per se, because you went over the plan, the detailed plan, was this is MAGA country in it, or were you guys sort of ad-libbing?
00:39:33.400 MAGA country, I feel that we came up with that.
00:39:37.480 But all the other stuff, like the real bad derogatory stuff, that was all Jesse.
00:39:46.400 Yeah, well, he wanted the red hats, and we just made it MAGA country.
00:39:51.400 You know, so, yeah, so he wanted us to say the F word, a f***, he wanted us to say n***, he wanted us to say, aren't you that empire f***, and then we were like, this is MAGA country, before beating him up, well, fake beating him up.
00:40:09.460 Yeah, so that's why.
00:40:11.300 I think the greatest part is the line, this is MAGA country.
00:40:14.240 If we're going for the awards here, whoever came up with that line is the creative genius of the two of you, because I just think it is hilarious.
00:40:22.500 It's just, objectively, this is MAGA country.
00:40:27.200 No, he wanted us to get, like, actual Make America Great Again hats, but we couldn't find them nowhere in Chicago.
00:40:34.600 In Chicago, the bluest city ever.
00:40:37.480 So we just, we just got a regular red hat from the beauty supply.
00:40:43.320 And did he say to you, what did he say about your not white faces?
00:40:48.820 Like, was it his suggestion that you had to cover them?
00:40:52.280 Well, how did that, what did he say?
00:40:54.900 Yeah, so since there were going to be cameras, he said, make sure you cover your face, wear masks and all that.
00:41:00.760 So we, you couldn't see our face.
00:41:03.160 It was to the point that, so my brother and I, we were playing, it was an acting gig for us.
00:41:10.200 So we were playing white supremacists, white racists from the South.
00:41:14.400 So we, we even came up with names.
00:41:17.380 He was Bubba, but I didn't have no name.
00:41:20.280 So, so it was, it was so believable to the point that when we were in the Uber on our way there, the Uber driver, yeah, the Uber driver told the police that they were white guys.
00:41:34.420 So he thought we were white.
00:41:36.120 And yeah, because we were talking in our Southern accent, our best Southern accents.
00:41:41.160 So if you don't mind, just because we're here, could we hear, uh, Bubba's Southern MAGA country accent?
00:41:50.760 Yeah.
00:41:51.460 So that night when we went and took care of Jesse, that, that, that Jesse.
00:41:57.320 Yeah.
00:41:58.020 Go get that boy over there.
00:42:00.760 That boy thought he could fight us back.
00:42:02.600 Yeah.
00:42:02.940 All right.
00:42:03.420 We took care of that boy, didn't we?
00:42:05.020 Yeah, we did.
00:42:06.120 This is MAGA country and you better know it.
00:42:11.160 I don't know if we're going to be in trouble.
00:42:15.640 It's terrible.
00:42:16.140 Your accents are terrible.
00:42:18.160 I know.
00:42:19.180 You sound like two Nigerian men trying to sound like you're from Tennessee.
00:42:24.680 They're terrible.
00:42:27.700 Oh, hey.
00:42:29.860 People both the time they don't know, you know, that's.
00:42:34.480 Oh my gosh.
00:42:35.420 It's so funny.
00:42:37.020 Okay.
00:42:37.200 So when you, uh, got the noose, this is very important.
00:42:40.960 That's all that happens down here.
00:42:42.200 It's just nooses everywhere.
00:42:43.640 Did you ever expect that following the incident, Jesse, Jesse would be so dumb as to leave the
00:42:51.740 noose around his neck and still be holding the sandwich?
00:42:54.480 Because this seems like this maybe went wrong in the improv skit.
00:42:57.220 Um, because I do think that if I was getting jumped with gasoline and bleach and being called
00:43:02.640 the N word and the F word that I might drop the sandwich.
00:43:05.620 Like it's not that Subway is not particularly the greatest thing I've ever eaten.
00:43:09.220 Uh, he didn't do that.
00:43:10.440 So what, what happens there?
00:43:12.560 He might've been hungry.
00:43:14.700 Right.
00:43:15.580 Especially after ass whooping.
00:43:17.080 Yeah.
00:43:17.620 That ass whooping was pretty hard on him, but, uh, we think he left the noose for a reason.
00:43:24.000 And, um, so two months prior, I think in December, a bill was passed or, uh, it passed the Senate
00:43:32.880 floor or the house floor.
00:43:34.080 And then it was going to the other, uh, side and it was the anti-lynching bill.
00:43:39.820 I don't know if it was called that at that time.
00:43:41.800 And it was also coming up again, February 14th.
00:43:46.080 And that's the reason why we believe he wanted us to do it again, uh, right before we went
00:43:51.540 to Nigeria, because we wouldn't have been back, uh, by, uh, February 14th.
00:43:57.020 So our book, so we released the book that tells about the whole situation about, uh, if you
00:44:04.680 make a mistake, you know, that's not the end all be all you can move forward and pass that.
00:44:09.460 And our book explains who we think might've brought this.
00:44:14.740 Yeah.
00:44:15.000 We don't think Jesse's the actual mastermind behind this.
00:44:18.240 We think somebody put them up to this.
00:44:19.980 Yeah.
00:44:20.260 Honestly.
00:44:20.900 Yeah.
00:44:21.600 Let me tell you, no one's ever accused Jesse Smollett of being a mastermind.
00:44:25.160 I will, I will tell you that.
00:44:26.360 So, um, what is the title of your book and where can people go to find it?
00:44:31.320 So the title of the book is bigger than Jesse, the modern, what is it?
00:44:37.060 The disturbing need for modern day lynching and it is found on Amazon or anywhere you
00:44:42.220 buy your books, Barnes and Noble anywhere.
00:44:45.020 Okay.
00:44:45.480 So you guys, you're hearing that my listeners, if you want to hear more about this story,
00:44:48.840 which is truly, it's, it's now a part of American history.
00:44:51.880 It's positively hilarious.
00:44:53.760 Uh, just a couple of things, obviously for you guys listening, if a black person ever tells
00:44:57.280 you that they went out in a polar vortex, it's funny business.
00:44:59.880 Okay.
00:45:00.280 It's just not what we do genetically.
00:45:01.640 We cannot do certain things.
00:45:03.000 And that's one of them.
00:45:03.880 That's why we don't ski ice hockey.
00:45:05.320 None of those things.
00:45:06.760 Um, and so that's why I knew the story never made sense, but go out and buy their book.
00:45:10.840 They are positively hilarious.
00:45:11.940 And they were completely honest from the beginning with the police.
00:45:14.780 They came forward, uh, and told the truth because for them, they were just, they were
00:45:18.620 just trying to play a part.
00:45:19.660 They were just trying to be Bubba.
00:45:20.840 You know, they didn't know that they were getting involved with some crazy politics in
00:45:26.460 trying to get an anti-lynching bill passed.
00:45:29.040 Um, you guys, I am so glad that you joined me today.
00:45:32.260 I can't tell you, I've watched your interviews and you guys are hilarious.
00:45:35.640 So I wish you all the success in the world.
00:45:37.620 And the next time I get in touch, please do know that it will be to stage my own, um,
00:45:43.720 crime.
00:45:44.740 And I'm going to have some really good lines for you.
00:45:47.280 Okay.
00:45:47.860 We ready.
00:45:48.700 Get your money up.
00:45:50.120 Yeah.
00:45:50.780 Thank you guys so much for joining.
00:45:55.540 We'll put a link up to your book.
00:45:56.680 Thank you.
00:45:58.200 We appreciate you.
00:46:00.540 Well, I'm disgusted at the live chat right now.
00:46:02.800 A lot of laughing emojis.
00:46:04.400 They shared a story that has given Jussie Smollett great pain.
00:46:08.540 Um, plausibly the worst accent I've ever heard in my entire life.
00:46:12.880 I knew that would brighten your day because it brightens my day when we recorded it yesterday.
00:46:16.620 Very, very funny.
00:46:18.080 Um, all right, guys, we could almost get into all of your comments and questions during
00:46:21.860 this article.
00:46:22.320 First one, remind you, one of our sponsors, American Financing, because I know there's a lot of

00:47:09.380 All right, guys.
00:47:10.920 Again, reminding you, please go to CandaceOwens.com.
00:47:13.040 We worked so hard on that.
00:47:14.760 And it is, like I said, a shot in the dark.
00:47:17.360 We have three seasons of that.
00:47:19.400 We're going to go through vaccines for children so that moms don't feel, parents just don't feel
00:47:23.680 like out of the blue, like they're telling you it's life or death so that you have more
00:47:27.220 information.
00:47:27.760 You can ask the doctor questions.
00:47:29.080 And hopefully you understand my journey and why I am anti-vax and why so many moms are now
00:47:33.340 saying no to vaccines.
00:47:35.720 That's very close to my heart.
00:47:36.940 I think it's the most important work that I do, to be quite honest.
00:47:40.440 We'll also put up interviews with people that we could never speak to.
00:47:44.260 Obviously, the Emmanuel Macron series will be there.
00:47:46.580 And the book club, if you guys want to join the book club.
00:47:49.020 First book we are reading is Chaos, of course, because it has been the one that has broken
00:47:53.900 my brain.
00:47:54.600 And I have so many questions about our government.
00:47:56.680 It's going to be really fun for us to be able to chat about books each month.
00:47:59.600 And yeah, so check it out.
00:48:00.440 At least go check it out, CandaceOwens.com.
00:48:02.080 Let us know what you think.
00:48:02.840 Give us some feedback.
00:48:04.200 And thank you guys, because that site, which was very, like I said, a very major investment,
00:48:09.080 was only possible because you guys invested in me.
00:48:11.840 And those of you guys that were signing up to Locals, we migrated you over to the platform
00:48:15.220 already.
00:48:15.760 So you didn't miss out.
00:48:16.660 If you were like, Candace, I just signed up for Locals.
00:48:18.180 Don't worry, you got migrated over for free at no cost to yourself for the year, if you
00:48:22.940 signed up for the year or the month, whatever it was.
00:48:25.280 And so just from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for just making this possible and
00:48:28.860 allowing me to invest in making things bigger.
00:48:31.640 And thanks to my team.
00:48:33.020 And especially, like I said, thanks to my wonderful husband, because he has done everything.
00:48:37.520 I am not a tech genius.
00:48:39.540 By the way, for tomorrow, I'll have a major tidbit.
00:48:42.040 I think tomorrow, we're deciding whether or not we need to spend the day working on the
00:48:45.400 Emmanuel Macron intro.
00:48:46.360 But if we are here tomorrow, I also got more metadata, which suggests that the New York
00:48:52.260 Times titled the article and began working on the article on December 10th.
00:48:57.000 So our timeline is getting crazy.
00:48:58.800 We are really starting to understand what evil, in my view, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
00:49:03.960 were in cahoots to impart upon Justin Baldoni.
00:49:06.280 And we are, listen, we are being copy and pasted from right now.
00:49:10.460 I'm literally having the Daily Mail steal our content and create articles and pretend
00:49:14.460 that they found all of this stuff.
00:49:16.000 And it obviously is not true.
00:49:17.700 You guys did.
00:49:18.680 We did.
00:49:19.500 It is our little CIA Candace Investigation Academy, whatever you want to call it, that
00:49:24.540 association that's sending all of this information to info at Candace.com.
00:49:28.120 So many insiders saying, I worked here, I worked there, I'm on set, or just saying, have you
00:49:33.040 seen this?
00:49:33.580 So it's you guys.
00:49:34.320 Like, it's independent journalism, the people at home that are making dinner for their kids
00:49:38.280 who find time at night to look up some stuff.
00:49:40.380 So I want to thank you guys and credit you guys.
00:49:42.080 And no, you should know that you are bigger than the media.
00:49:45.060 OK, we're already at 50 minutes, but I do want to get to some of these questions.
00:49:48.020 Oh my gosh, the officer Tatum is here.
00:49:49.900 He says, Candace is the goat.
00:49:51.580 That is my brother.
00:49:52.380 I absolutely love, obviously, Brandon Tatum.
00:49:55.220 I love Corinne Tatum.
00:49:56.420 So thank you guys so much for donating just now to the show.
00:49:59.120 You could have just gotten a whole year subscription to CandaceOwens.com.
00:50:03.600 Beans writes, Candace spilling the tea all over the place.
00:50:06.140 Thank you.
00:50:06.760 Thank you for supporting the show.
00:50:08.520 Kim T writes, I love your straightforward, telling it how it is commentary.
00:50:12.040 You're the best.
00:50:12.580 I get a good laugh listening to you.
00:50:13.960 Thank you.
00:50:14.380 I genuinely am just so happy.
00:50:15.820 Like, I'm happy to be free.
00:50:17.220 I'm happy to be independent.
00:50:18.060 And I'm just happy that more people are getting to hear me and not believe all of the horrible
00:50:22.200 things I feel like the media said about me for years.
00:50:24.760 It feels like we've now gotten to a place where people know that it's not true.
00:50:28.260 Alex Needham asks, I didn't know I needed this interview, but I did need it.
00:50:32.300 See, I knew you guys needed it.
00:50:33.920 We needed the Nigerian brothers.
00:50:36.000 They are just gems.
00:50:37.860 I love them.
00:50:38.380 And by the way, they never lied to the police.
00:50:40.400 For them, it really wasn't acting good.
00:50:42.460 They got cast as two white racist men in the middle of a Chicago vortex.
00:50:47.040 That was real.
00:50:47.680 They were happy about being cast for $3,500.
00:50:49.540 And they said, you know, Jesse wrote them a check.
00:50:52.640 And when we were offline, they said they don't accept checks anymore.
00:50:55.340 So if I do book them, I'm going to have to pay them cash, I assume.
00:50:59.840 They're done with the business of putting things in writing.
00:51:02.380 So when I execute my hate crime against myself, I'll keep you guys posted.
00:51:06.880 Mud writes, Blake and Ryan are visible farts.
00:51:10.220 Okay, Mud.
00:51:10.960 Thank you for that.
00:51:11.940 Thank you very much for that.
00:51:13.300 Eerie says, Candace always pulls up with the smoke and receipts.
00:51:17.140 Yes, like I said, my investment in this, to me, it's not a Hollywood story.
00:51:21.280 It is a Me Too story.
00:51:22.740 It is a political movement that got hijacked by women that understood they could easily
00:51:26.340 take down men who would not be able to defend themselves against toxic femininity.
00:51:30.800 And I have three sons.
00:51:32.000 And so I am going to see this through until the very end.
00:51:36.300 Like I said, me and Savannah will be at the courthouse.
00:51:38.740 We will be dressed, ready to go, sunglasses at the courthouse.
00:51:42.020 I deserve a seat in there.
00:51:43.200 And I hope that you guys will encourage them to give me a seat in there, Justin Baldoni's
00:51:47.620 legal team.
00:51:48.220 Because I'm sure they're watching this too.
00:51:49.140 They don't even know any of this.
00:51:49.860 They're watching this, finding stuff out.
00:51:51.220 Justin Baldoni's team is like, what?
00:51:52.220 This is crazy.
00:51:52.960 We got to subpoena Taylor Swift.
00:51:54.380 Yeah, you do.
00:51:55.140 You have to subpoena her.
00:51:57.040 Belle Eve writes, T-Swift Easter eggs are strategically planned for months and years.
00:52:01.640 Nothing seems out of her control for a beneficial narrative or profit.
00:52:05.000 Either there's more to the plan or this is the implosion of it.
00:52:08.220 Yeah, I just have a lot of questions.
00:52:09.720 And she just was hanging out with them a lot during that time and involved in the movies.
00:52:13.640 And, you know, and I just know how friends are when girls chat.
00:52:17.240 I don't think she just walked in there and said, hey, I love her script changes.
00:52:21.780 That doesn't sound right to me.
00:52:23.240 So backing away from it now feels a little shady.
00:52:25.880 I'm not saying I'm blaming Taylor Swift for everything.
00:52:27.940 I'm just saying that I don't buy that she didn't know he was going to be there.
00:52:32.020 You either read the script or you didn't.
00:52:33.280 But I do probably buy that she was a little embarrassed about that text message referring to
00:52:37.040 her as a dragon because it is bullying.
00:52:39.900 And she has very carefully crafted people, her brand to make people believe that she doesn't
00:52:44.820 engage in that.
00:52:45.560 But I actually think she does, you know, a lot.
00:52:49.000 And people can't defend themselves against whatever narrative she puts out with her Easter
00:52:52.840 eggs.
00:52:53.140 I think men are scared to stand up and say that actually didn't happen.
00:52:56.320 Fadi Shraki writes, Candace, big virtual hug from your number one Syrian Arab Muslim fan
00:53:02.180 who happens to be a homo but not fake or gay.
00:53:05.400 I'm glad that you're not fake or gay.
00:53:06.640 That's amazing.
00:53:08.100 I pray for you and your family's safety and prosperity.
00:53:10.440 Keep doing God's work.
00:53:11.860 Waking up every day at 1 a.m. to watch your show from Dubai.
00:53:14.480 God bless.
00:53:15.000 And yes, even as a Muslim, Jesus is king.
00:53:17.380 I love that.
00:53:18.040 I really want to go see Dubai.
00:53:20.020 And that's like on me and my husband's list, but I can't stop being pregnant.
00:53:24.680 I don't know.
00:53:25.040 It's like a disorder or something.
00:53:26.880 I really got to talk to a doctor, see a doctor about this.
00:53:31.060 South Pole writes, this is a two-part comment, a super chat.
00:53:34.820 Candace, maybe this is a little crazy to ask, but we have a red pill friend and content creator
00:53:39.460 named Adam Francisco.
00:53:40.880 He does not have a large following on YouTube, but he has been a staunch supporter of Trump
00:53:44.620 and the conservative movement.
00:53:46.500 He has been in need of a kidney donor for a while and has been posting the last couple
00:53:50.560 of weeks that he is in dire need of a transplant and is asking his limited supporters if they
00:53:54.380 can or if they know anyone who can help.
00:53:56.540 Well, we have just now broadcast that to at least a million people who will see it.
00:54:00.300 So Adam Francisco is his name.
00:54:02.060 He did not include his handle here, content creator.
00:54:05.680 You never know.
00:54:06.460 Sometimes somebody sees something and the next thing you know, he gets a new transplant.
00:54:10.280 At the very least, people can keep Adam Francisco in his prayers.
00:54:14.480 All right, guys, we will stay on the hunt.
00:54:15.700 Like I said, we don't know if we're going to be back tomorrow.
00:54:17.620 I want to come back because I have to show you that metadata thing and there's some other
00:54:21.540 stuff going on that I have to talk to you about, but I also have to work on this McCrone
00:54:24.440 piece.
00:54:24.720 So it's crazy right now, but keep emailing us up to info at CandaceOwens.com.
00:54:28.720 And please, we worked so hard on this website.
00:54:30.760 If you are watching this right now, as 72,000 of you are, please just at least go visit CandaceOwens.com.
00:54:37.860 And, you know, we just, it was a major, major investment.
00:54:41.680 And again, thank you guys for allowing us the ability to make that investment in what we believe
00:54:46.520 to be us just trying to get the truth out without the restrictions of social media.
00:54:50.880 So I love you guys so much.
00:54:52.840 I'm glad you enjoyed the Nigerian brothers and we will see you maybe tomorrow.
00:54:56.300 And, and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and
