Candace Owens - EXCLUSIVE： Blake & Ryan’s Desperate Legal Strategy Exposed! ｜ Candace Ep 147

00:00:00.000 All right, you guys, happy Friday. Happy Valentine's Day for all you lovers out there. I should have worn pink or something, but I did not.

00:00:07.660 Anyways, there will be a mix up today of politics and culture, I promise.

00:00:11.260 First and foremost, I should tell you that I have a major scoop regarding Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, their newest legal plan or something that they were attempting.

00:00:18.820 Plus, in case you missed it, Ari Emanuel, that's their powerful agent over at WME, has now spoken on their behalf on the Freakonomics podcast or the Freakonomics radio show.

00:00:30.180 And great news for us, quote unquote, anti-vaxxers, because RFK Jr. just got confirmed, which makes it the dawn of a new era.

00:00:38.540 I'm just so excited. I really am just so excited. It's already a great start to the year.

00:00:43.140 And we have to get to J.D. Vance as well, because he just gave an incredibly courageous speech in front of the Munich conference.

00:00:49.420 So I think the best political speech in my recent memory. Let's jump right in. Welcome back to Candace.

00:01:00.000 Okay, Liz Plank. This is very interesting. So in case you're forgetting who she is, Liz Plank

00:01:15.640 was the co-host of the Man Enough podcast alongside Justin Baldoni. And then as soon as Blake Lively filed

00:01:24.500 her complaint, Liz Plank was out. Instantly said she quit, you know, a show of support and solidarity

00:01:31.420 with Blake after everything dropped. And people began looking into it. And particularly there was

00:01:36.840 this TikToker, Steph with the Deets, who had showed that perhaps the reason that motivated her to get

00:01:42.920 on the side of Blake Lively without actually looking into anything or at least speaking to her

00:01:48.160 co-host and hearing his side of things may have been what we have discovered since, a repeat sort of

00:01:55.140 Ryan Reynolds psychopathic strategy of essentially love bombing people, giving them roles they don't

00:02:01.140 deserve in places that they don't belong and basically pretending to be the best, most amazing

00:02:06.080 friend because the person that they're targeting and the person that they want to isolate is a

00:02:10.320 person like Justin Baldoni who's connected to that individual. It's all about isolation. And so Liz

00:02:15.260 Plank was a perfect person for them to go after because first and foremost, if you don't know anything

00:02:19.800 about her, I had never heard her name before the scandal. She's kind of branded herself as like the 0.99

00:02:24.580 ultimate feminist. You know, she is also Canadian and everything that she does, like I think she majored 1.00

00:02:30.260 in women's studies at McGill University and she's very carefully done work as a big supporter of

00:02:38.080 gender equality, right? So if you're thinking that you're going to go down this route as Blake Lively

00:02:42.560 did, it would be a perfect person to kind of butter up and say, oh my gosh, you're never going to

00:02:48.060 believe what I lived through on set, which is actually captured on camera and was really nothing.

00:02:52.940 But the other element of this is when we recognize that Ryan Reynolds, and this is Steph with the

00:02:57.960 Dietz again, had put her in this program, this documentary called Welcome to Wrexham, essentially.

00:03:04.420 I think it's in like its fourth season and it's Ryan Reynolds and Rob, I'm going to say his last name

00:03:09.540 wrong, McKelney, who are essentially documenting the rise of this sports team that we know Ryan

00:03:16.760 Reynolds owns a portion of. And so he flew her out to be a part of this series. I did not actually,

00:03:24.900 because Steph with the Dietz didn't show it. See the clip. I did not see what her expertise were

00:03:30.600 that were required for her to participate in this documentary. And ladies and gentlemen,

00:03:35.980 just buckle up. This is amazing. If you really want to get into how psychotic Ryan Reynolds is,

00:03:40.200 the fact that he cast her as an expert for this will really clarify that for you. Okay. I'm thinking,

00:03:46.600 oh, it's got to be something important. No, she appeared as an expert to deliver to audiences

00:03:54.580 what a, well, the definition of a bromance is. Take a listen.

00:04:02.540 The definition of the word bromance is, is just, it's a platonic relationship between two men.

00:04:09.300 There's no female equivalent to the term bromance. The female equivalent is friends.

00:04:13.840 And so the fact that we need a term to describe two men going out to dinner, I think is very

00:04:21.540 revealing about what men are allowed or are not allowed to do and how much self-policing there is

00:04:27.840 when it comes to their relationships with other men. So bromance is almost this permission for men

00:04:34.060 to connect and to show love to each other because it's like a, it's like a joke.

00:04:39.740 There you have it, ladies and gents. That's, that's likely why she sold out Justin Baljoni. 1.00

00:04:50.120 An amazing opportunity. I mean, how did Ryan Reynolds even approach her for that?

00:04:54.420 How, when he, in his mind, he's like, I just got to make up something because I don't really have

00:04:57.380 anything for her and, uh, but we need her on our side. And so he probably flew her out private to

00:05:01.940 the UK for that. He probably said, and overpaid her, well, we can pay you a hundred thousand dollars

00:05:07.280 if you could be our expert. Yeah, I could get that approved, a budget approved a hundred K for

00:05:10.920 you to speak on the expertise of the bromance culture and, um, the significance when you weigh

00:05:17.020 it against women and their French. What, what? Like literally, if you need proof that he was just 0.93

00:05:23.120 making stuff up and giving people positions, that's it right there. Okay. I just need to show

00:05:27.840 you guys that before I even got into the scoop. So you remember last episode when we were speaking

00:05:31.720 about this, I showed you also Marcos, who's another TikToker who essentially got his video

00:05:37.760 banned because he had received a tip that the Reynolds family was lobbying Jenny Slate to join

00:05:44.800 as a plaintiff. And Jenny Slate was pushing back on that. And he had heard from somebody in the orbit

00:05:50.120 that was true. Well, I similarly heard, and I will say to protect myself, allegedly, allegedly,

00:05:55.520 allegedly, but I don't know why I'm protecting myself because I do kind of want to be involved in

00:05:58.740 this lawsuit. I'm doing a lot here to be involved in this lawsuit. Uh, but I heard on very good

00:06:04.680 authority that the same was done to Liz Plank. Okay. So they primed her, got her as an expert of 0.95

00:06:11.520 bromance, sorry, serious expert of bromances, put her on the show. She's a perfect candidate. She's 1.00

00:06:18.000 a feminist. And then they tried to pull the me too button. She instantly took their side, jumped off of 1.00

00:06:23.340 the podcast with him, made a statement. And then they basically asked her to join in

00:06:28.620 as a plaintiff. And what I was told was like, Jenny Slate said, hell no. Her and her people

00:06:34.880 have obviously gone through everything, have read the lawsuits like a fuller picture rather than just

00:06:40.440 Blake's emotions. And they do not want to go anywhere near this with a 10 foot pole. And so they

00:06:47.180 are behind the scenes, not just lobbying. Allegedly, Jenny Slate, also Liz Plank, they are literally

00:06:52.520 looking for any individual that will jump on board and solidify her statements that Justin Baldoni is

00:06:59.540 a creep and they are routinely and continually coming up dry because that's what happens when

00:07:04.780 you lie. Speaking of people who just lie, let's talk about Ari Emanuel. Okay. Now you may have missed

00:07:10.220 this. Ari Emanuel is a very powerful guy. He is, you could argue, the most powerful person in Hollywood.

00:07:16.160 Okay. He is the CEO of WME. That is the agency that is involved in this lawsuit. Obviously the

00:07:23.380 agency that instantly dropped Justin Baldoni when she filed her complaints initially, the CRD complaint

00:07:29.760 in Los Angeles. And essentially, I did not know this. He is actually Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

00:07:36.980 agent. So they are his clients. You have the CEO, chairman of WME and Endeavor, and these are his clients.

00:07:43.180 So Ari Emanuel decided to appear on the Freakonomics radio podcast show. The episode has not dropped.

00:07:51.600 It played on the radio and it's already broken in the press, but we could not pull the clips yet

00:07:55.680 because they had not yet put it up on their podcast. It's due later today. And he discussed what was

00:08:00.360 going on with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. And I'm going to quote you what he said, the various

00:08:06.300 quotes. He said, quote, I am a ride or die and they're good people. I've known Ryan and Blake for over a

00:08:12.400 decade. They're really incredible people. In Hollywood, they have been incredibly successful.

00:08:17.720 People work with them. They've never had any bad mojo out there or treated people badly.

00:08:23.400 They are charitable. We help them with their foundation. They've given tons of money away.

00:08:29.060 He also said, quote, she felt Blake, Blake felt that she was not being protected. She complained.

00:08:34.240 And then these people tried to go after her. They should stop. They're still trying to do it.

00:08:38.460 They should stop. If what is alleged in her lawsuit that what happened on social media is true,

00:08:43.300 just because she complained to the studio that things were unhealthy on set and that he was

00:08:47.660 director and this man was a producer and they did to her what is being alleged, they're really bad

00:08:53.200 people. He then said, quote, social media is a really good thing at times because it lets people,

00:08:58.060 stars connect with their fans. But Baldoni and Heath used it in an evil way. If that's true,

00:09:03.160 we just have to be cognizant that social media can ruin people and they should no longer be out there

00:09:08.740 intimidating people using social media now and trying to hurt them and abusing them. Baldoni's

00:09:14.820 team should just stop since they think they're innocent and let the process play itself out.

00:09:21.140 Lastly, he said this, and this is my favorite part of his quotations. He says,

00:09:25.020 I mean, it is an effed up bad situation. What Baloni, Baldoni, whatever his name is, is doing.

00:09:33.600 And then when the host who was speaking with him, who's Steven Dubner, points out that Baldoni used

00:09:40.340 to be on the WME roster, Ari shoots back until I fired him. Oh, Ari's so powerful. Big bad until I 0.99

00:09:49.560 fired him. Amazing. He's so powerful, guys, and he's so cool that he doesn't even remember his name.

00:09:54.300 It's Baloni, Baldoni, whatever your name is, kid. Ha ha ha ha. Ari, starry, farry, whatever your name

00:10:00.600 is, kid. Ha ha ha. I don't understand how they do not understand why we do not like them. This is

00:10:06.760 exactly, I mean, just the idea of not even being, having the decent enough respect to say his name,

00:10:13.620 Justin Baldoni. He has obviously read through all the messages, but he's just going to come out here

00:10:18.040 and say they're good people because they give money to charity. And I do believe this is what

00:10:22.640 celebrities do. They're terrible human beings. They show up on red carpets like the Amphar Gala 0.98

00:10:28.180 in their expensive wear to be seen, to be photographed, and they give away a million

00:10:32.540 dollars. And then guess what, guys? That's it. That's their indulgence. That's it. You got to

00:10:36.480 just accept that they're good people. They gave half a million dollars to charity this year.

00:10:40.640 So that doesn't matter how they're treating other people. Okay, then, guys, well, Ari Emanuel is the

00:10:44.660 most powerful guy in Hollywood, and he has spoken out. So I guess case closed. As long as Ryan and

00:10:49.460 Blake are being nice to billionaires, right? Why are we upset? Do you hear that? Oh, they're

00:10:55.920 probably also nice to Oprah, I'd imagine, and Mark Zuckerberg. And hey, obviously, they've been

00:11:02.280 in front of Taylor Swift for 10 years. So clearly, if you have enough money, which Ari Emanuel does,

00:11:08.100 Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will be nice to you. So what exactly is the problem here? All your

00:11:13.620 little mom sleuths, everybody following this case and reading the messages and seeing how horrific

00:11:17.480 they are, reading the messages they sent, okay? Not imagining how they treated them. Being able to

00:11:23.500 read the messages, being able to see how they were speaking to people behind the scenes, calling

00:11:29.380 herself, oh, I could just have very powerful people ruin your life. I've got dragons. So yeah, I guess

00:11:35.600 we're supposed to just accept what Ari Emanuel says because they think we're stupid, okay? People in 0.99

00:11:41.580 Hollywood think people like you and I are stupid. We're too stupid to recognize that what he is 1.00

00:11:47.920 doing, clearly, for all you guys, we're just a bunch of midwits, is protecting a business asset, 1.00

00:11:53.760 okay? He makes millions off of them. He wants them to be successful because he collects millions off of

00:12:00.360 them. That's what it means to be an agent. You sign deals, I take a piece of it. He does not want

00:12:05.100 their brand to die because it hurts his pockets. But he's trying to pitch it to you another way because

00:12:09.340 he thinks, again, you're a bunch of midwits, okay? So let's get into who Ari Emanuel is in general. 0.93

00:12:15.240 Per Bloomberg, he has a personal net worth of at least $1 billion. He also owns TKO Stakeholdings,

00:12:21.960 which has both the UFC and the WWE under its umbrella. Interesting story, by the way. I think

00:12:28.080 he's got to be a guy who likes me, too, because Endeavor did a deal with UFC. I mean, did a deal with

00:12:33.800 WWE and the McMahon family owned it forever? Suddenly, Vince McMahon gets Me Too'd and he

00:12:40.780 sells off a bunch of his stake to Endeavor, which made Ari certainly a lot richer. So I don't know.

00:12:45.340 Maybe this is just a repeat strategy in Hollywood. I've long suspected that the Me Too movement was

00:12:50.540 actually being authored by men behind the scenes, and now I'm interested in that, and we'll get to

00:12:54.900 that later, okay? He is the CEO, as I mentioned, of the Endeavor Talent Agency, which is the multi-billion

00:13:01.960 talent agency, which has subsidiaries, including Wall Group, Art Plus Commerce, M2M, the model

00:13:10.160 management firm that you've heard of, IMG Models, that represents Gigi Hadid, Giselle Bunchen.

00:13:16.020 Last year, it was reported that he took home $64.9 million, okay? He enjoys a $65 million pay package

00:13:27.520 as the CEO of the TKO group. And don't even get me started on his brother, Rahm Emanuel, who

00:13:32.900 bankrupted Chicago. Absolute crook. He should be in prison. And then there's his other brother, 0.99

00:13:37.500 Ezekiel, known as Zeke. Zeke? Geek? Leek? Were we rhyming, Ari? Whatever his name is, okay? He's a

00:13:43.840 pharmaceutical lobbyist who was on the COVID-19 advisory board. So, you know, like, stay at home,

00:13:49.620 save lives, let grandma die alone, trust the science. And essentially, Ari's picking up the same

00:13:54.580 thing. He wants you to simply trust the science when it comes to Blake and Ryan. He wants you to

00:13:59.140 accept that Blake and Ryan are always kind to billionaires. So I want you to remember that.

00:14:05.260 The next time that you are thinking about this and you are reading their own words and understanding

00:14:10.620 what they said, I want you to stop yourself and say, but I bet they've been really nice to Jeff

00:14:15.940 Bezos. It sounds like they're really nice to Gigi Hadid. And I'm sure Blake Lively would be really

00:14:21.500 sweet to someone like Gisele Bundchen. So what's the big deal? Seriously, guys, these billionaires

00:14:26.380 are just not like us at all. Essentially, they believe that they are in a class of society in

00:14:31.640 which it is perfectly permissible to align yourselves with evil people so long as it earns

00:14:37.420 you revenue. Because that's what Ari Emanuel is saying. Like, these people, they're great. They

00:14:40.880 earn me revenue. I'm richer than them, so they're nice to me. And the rest of you need to booger

00:14:44.980 off because these are my assets. That's what he's saying. Which is why I think it's fine for us,

00:14:50.840 if you want to listen to him, to completely ignore the fact that something I reported on my

00:14:55.260 Instagram stories yesterday, that there are people who are speaking out about how they have

00:14:59.480 been abused, which he just doesn't see it anymore. He doesn't see it anywhere. Social media is a bad

00:15:03.080 thing sometimes, he says, because then people can get around us. We control the Hollywood reporter.

00:15:09.180 We can control Deadline. We can control the New York Times. But man, those moms on Insta, 1.00

00:15:14.680 what are they doing? They're snooping and they're finding stuff like what we found when we came

00:15:19.280 across Barbara Zeman. Now, who is Barbara Zeman? She was the fourth assistant director for A Simple 0.82

00:15:24.400 Favor, the first movie, the first installment of the film, with Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.

00:15:29.620 And the actor who played Blake's husband in that film is reprising his role in the second film,

00:15:35.760 which is due to drop any day. And it's this guy named, an actor named Henry Golding.

00:15:40.740 So he posted a promotional poster for the film on his Instagram, which is another simple favor.

00:15:45.340 It's coming out. And Barbara, the former fourth assistant director, wrote this. She wrote,

00:15:53.280 I worked with you on the first one. My experience with everyone was absolutely amazing, except

00:15:58.360 for a certain someone who is the reason I quit being an AD. Guess who that person is? I wish you

00:16:04.780 all the best with this, though. So she posted that. Internet sleuths caught it. It started circulating.

00:16:09.080 And then a bunch of people were commenting, essentially, like asking her to expand more

00:16:14.600 on what happened, offering her support. And then six days later, she replied in the comment section

00:16:19.500 and she wrote, thanks for the kindness. I want to avoid attention around this. But I will say,

00:16:25.060 referring to Blake, she was cruel to many. I know I cried my way home many nights because you try so

00:16:31.320 hard to please someone who is never pleased and puts you down constantly. I can't believe it's

00:16:36.000 actually getting back at her. Karma is real. And this obviously blew up partially because I shared

00:16:42.140 it. Other people shared it. And now she has disappeared from the platform because it's made

00:16:46.400 the news of people speaking about their experience with her. As many people have come out and spoken

00:16:50.840 about their various experiences with Blake Lively. And again, we are reading the text messages

00:16:56.460 ourselves. But don't believe your own eyes. Don't listen to Barbara because you're not rich enough.

00:17:02.480 Okay. Ari Emanuel wants you to know they give money to charity. Could you give a million dollars to

00:17:07.540 to an AIDS foundation or to a hurricane relief? All right, then book her off, guys. This is how

00:17:13.820 Hollywood thinks of the little people. Also, don't listen to Blake, even in her own words,

00:17:19.560 because like we covered last week, she has openly admitted that she does exactly what Justin

00:17:24.720 Baldoni's team accuses her of, pretending that she's just going to be an actress. And then she

00:17:29.800 intentionally takes over movies. Also, if she doesn't get what she wants, or if somebody is 0.61

00:17:35.380 cast that she doesn't like, she's openly admitted that she poisons the whole cast against people. 1.00

00:17:40.280 That's what she admitted back in 2009, at least, in a Glamour Magazine article, which she was on the

00:17:45.460 cover. I remember this, guys. I'm telling you, I was working at Glamour Magazine when I told you

00:17:50.160 that she was the cover shoot and that my boss that I was working for said she was awful and she was the 1.00

00:17:55.920 rudest person that she ever worked for. This was the cover of the magazine. Take it to the bank. 1.00

00:18:00.280 I worked at Glamour when this magazine was happening. OK, so she was initially upset.

00:18:05.980 This is a quote. This is a quote from her. She was initially upset that Penn Badgley, who became

00:18:09.460 her future boyfriend, got hired for the role. She said in the magazine, quote, at first, I was so

00:18:14.340 upset that they hired him. I actually poisoned the whole cast against him. But then they noticed

00:18:18.780 that he wasn't a jerk and was actually really nice, charming person. Almost immediately,

00:18:23.640 I realized that, too. But it took me about a week to admit it. So Blakey no likey. Then Blakey's

00:18:30.960 going to go after you and poison the whole cast against you. And now she's got the money and the 0.99

00:18:34.100 resources to poison the cast around you, including people on an unrelated podcast to her life to fly

00:18:41.340 out to the UK to offer some really sound, sage opinion and advice and expertise on the topic of

00:18:50.400 bromances. I hope she writes a book. I really do hope Liz Plank writes a book so I can fully

00:18:57.040 understand what exactly a bromance is and how I should weigh it against my female friendships.

00:19:03.520 Anyways, trust the science, like I said, because she's really nice to billionaires. And the most

00:19:07.600 egregious update, by the way, in this lawsuit, it was egregious to me. I was I was like personally

00:19:12.140 offended by this when I saw this. I was freaking out. OK, essentially how you should perceive this

00:19:17.880 is Blake Lively is now openly admitting that she did not have a shred of evidence when she conspired

00:19:24.800 to ruin Justin Baldoni's entire life. OK, why do we know that? Because of a subpoena. That information

00:19:32.180 came to the public in the form of a subpoena on Wednesday. In case you missed it, her and Ryan

00:19:36.600 Reynolds lawyers sent a subpoena to three phone carriers, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile seeking records

00:19:43.920 pertaining to Baldoni, producer Jamie Heath and, of course, the billionaire Wayfarer Studios

00:19:49.340 co-founder Steve Sarowitz. OK, now the subpoenas also are are against the publicists that are

00:19:57.320 involved, Jennifer Abel and Melissa Nathan. Not entirely unusual to subpoena messages, by the

00:20:02.760 way, pertaining to a lawsuit. That's actually totally normal. If you think that there are some

00:20:07.200 messages, it's a limited scope that you get. I've been involved in this. You give them forward and

00:20:11.740 it allows them to look for a piece of evidence that they insist is in there, whatever. But this

00:20:17.080 is not what they're doing. They're not. This is not a limited scope subpoena. This is what a

00:20:21.840 spokesperson for Lively said. They said, quote, phone records belonging to all of the individual

00:20:26.920 defendants will expose the full web of individuals who were involved in the smear campaign against

00:20:31.960 Ms. Lively. Such records will provide critical and irrefutable evidence not only about who,

00:20:36.980 but also about when, where and how their retaliation plan came together and operated.

00:20:41.740 So you're thinking, wow, they must have a smoking gun in there. And then Brian Friedman drops this.

00:20:47.000 OK, basically, they are asking not just for messages pertaining to this lawsuit, like said that they

00:20:54.160 know that they're looking for a conversation between so and so and so and so on this week,

00:20:58.340 on this day. They are seeking all calls, text and location data, everything in their phone stretching

00:21:06.920 back two and a half years. They want everything, every message they've ever sent.

00:21:12.440 OK, Brian Friedman said, quote, this massive phishing expedition demonstrates that they are

00:21:17.820 desperately seeking any factual base, a basis for their provably false claims. They will find none.

00:21:23.900 OK, you don't ask for every message in someone's entire phone spanning back two and a half years.

00:21:30.280 Like I was I was personally offended when I heard this, because I think what they're relying on is, 0.99

00:21:35.040 again, people in the public to be stupid and think that that's normal. Of course, it's not normal. 0.99

00:21:39.120 You know what you would find? Basically, you could paint any person in the entire world

00:21:43.840 as a bad person if you had access to two and a half years of out of context messages.

00:21:51.220 I would be painted as the most racist person in the entire world.

00:21:55.440 The amount of times that I send racist messages to my sisters, like literally like every day,

00:22:00.360 I'm like, stop doing that. Stop. Stop being black. Wake up. Stop being black out of context. 1.00

00:22:05.880 Oh, my God. The headline would read Candace Owens told her sister stop being black. 0.99

00:22:10.100 Why would she say this? How could she do this?

00:22:11.780 I send terrible messages, horrific messages to my girlfriends, joking, funny messages,

00:22:17.300 Savannah, redneck messages. Mark, I lean into the media stereotype of me being anti-Semitic.

00:22:23.340 I send Jewish jokes to Mark. Could you imagine you just get access to everything 0.91

00:22:27.240 and you could just throw it into a lawsuit out of context and someone has to defend themselves

00:22:31.060 of like, oh, yeah, no, no, I don't hate black people. That's just me talking to my little sister.

00:22:35.440 That's how we speak to each other. That's how we show love. That's what they're asking for.

00:22:38.920 I've got like photos of my kids thighs sent to my husband, sent to a pediatrician. Like,

00:22:46.520 is that a rash? Is it eczema? Like, you're not getting you have no right to ask for two

00:22:51.540 and a half years of every single message sent from somebody's phone. That is absurd. It is

00:22:57.060 ridiculous. And again, it relies on fundamental stupidity. OK, you believe the public is fundamentally 1.00

00:23:03.160 stupid. So I think the game they were playing is they were going to request this. Obviously, 1.00

00:23:07.680 they're going to hit back hard. Like, first off, the PR people, Melissa, Nathan, who else is on the

00:23:13.680 PR side? They didn't even join this lawsuit. They didn't even come on until August as crisis PR.

00:23:20.760 Why on earth would they give you two and a half years of messages when they weren't even representing

00:23:24.640 this individual until the very end of this when things went down?

00:23:28.280 Oh, I know because you want everything so you can paint people as horrific people out of context.

00:23:34.000 So I say the best response to this is actually I strangely feel that two and a half years of

00:23:38.320 Justin Baldoni's messages are going to be really nice. Do you kind of agree? I feel like it's going

00:23:41.720 to be so annoying and he's going to be so painfully nice for two and a half years. And I'm just going

00:23:46.240 to give him a noogies. OK, but like fair gate. Let him have it. Actually, Brian Friedman,

00:23:50.800 as long as you get to have two and a half years of every single message that Blake and Ryan have ever

00:23:55.640 sent because I would love to have two and a half years of messages between Blake and Taylor Swift

00:24:00.600 because there is something there. My instinct tells me I just know she's doing the abracadabra

00:24:05.440 magic trick and she's going to go away because she knows the public is like onto her. She's very

00:24:09.840 close. Icarus knows when it's flying too close to the sun. OK, Taylor Swift, Icarus knows she's like, 0.85

00:24:15.520 oh, she's coming down. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Let's bring you back up. I want two and a half 0.87

00:24:18.940 years of your messages. Play the game. That's what I think. I say play it because I actually have full

00:24:23.580 faith that Justin Baldoni is not texting his sister racist stuff like I do all the time to

00:24:29.500 my sisters, both of them, actually, all the time. I really do. It's terrible. Anyways, we will keep

00:24:33.840 you updated on that. But I also want to tell you that we were able to confirm at least one of the

00:24:38.160 posts that Colleen Hoover deleted from her Instagram since returning a couple of days ago.

00:24:43.780 Essentially, she had reposted onto her main page a message that was written and shared on December 22nd.

00:24:51.080 So two days after Blake Lively filed her federal complaint in court, actually, sorry, her CRD

00:24:58.420 complaint in Los Angeles, her Sisterhood of the Lively Pants friends, actresses, America Ferreira,

00:25:07.720 Amber Rose, Tamlin and Alexis Bledel, I think is her name. I hope I'm saying that correctly.

00:25:14.020 Anyways, they were her co-stars in a 2005 film and they have maintained their friendship over years.

00:25:18.700 They penned this long letter of support, essentially saying that, quote, as Blake's friends and

00:25:24.980 sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the

00:25:29.960 reported campaign. Throughout the filming of It Ends With Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask

00:25:35.120 for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set. And we are appalled to read the evidence of

00:25:40.440 premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice. OK, blah, blah, blah. You get you get

00:25:46.840 the point there. Like they're just like and Colleen Hoover saw this and she decided to repost it onto

00:25:53.400 her Instagram. And this is what she included as the caption underneath the post. She wrote,

00:26:00.000 I thought this note was beautiful and I was going to share it in my stories like I shared my post about

00:26:04.960 Blake in my stories yesterday. I wanted to show support, but I had anxiety thinking of putting my

00:26:10.600 post about Blake in my feed and sending myself into a mental spiral from the inevitable comments.

00:26:15.820 They can be vile. And over the last year or two, there's been a huge shift in my attitude towards

00:26:20.700 social media. She then goes on to say, but this statement from these women and Blake's ability to

00:26:25.760 refuse to sit down and be buried has been nothing short of inspiring. Seeing these three women stand

00:26:32.720 up for their pride when they know good and well they're going to be ripped apart by the people who

00:26:36.580 choose not to accept or read the receipts is inspiring. I am done being afraid to post in fear of the

00:26:42.340 comment section hurting my reputation. I do not care about my future legacy. I never have. I care

00:26:46.900 about the people who are currently in my life, who I love and know and trust. And I care about the

00:26:51.620 readers who have supported me along the way and who reach out daily to ask where I've been and why I

00:26:56.220 haven't released a book in years. The answer is simple. We have become a cruel society of judges who

00:27:01.840 expect perfection, blah, blah, blah. So she makes a very strong statement and you can now say it was

00:27:08.680 against Justin Baldoni. She reposted not only what the Sisters of the Traveling Pants, whatever it's

00:27:14.720 called, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants wrote, but she also includes her own sentiment and uses that

00:27:20.320 phrase implying that Justin orchestrated this campaign to bury Blake Lively. And so I'm going to

00:27:28.340 say this. Colleen Hoover needs to come out and offer a full-throated apology to Justin Baldoni. 1.00

00:27:33.740 She does. There's no way around this. There's no escaping this. There's no deleting posts

00:27:37.800 and pretending that didn't happen. You need to take accountability, okay? You didn't allow him

00:27:42.380 to respond. You didn't allow him to answer. He was the person who brought your book to life

00:27:46.260 and you loved him. You wanted him to play this role. You obviously had a good experience with him

00:27:51.800 and you let all of that change because you got a little dizzy-eyed when you saw A-listers

00:27:57.340 that were pumping you with love. The public, by the way, will be incredibly understandable when you

00:28:02.740 say that I believed her. Okay, fine. I get that. You're allowed to, upon first instinct,

00:28:08.600 not be able to perceive the level of evil in Hollywood. I get that. You're new to the town

00:28:13.200 and you don't understand how these people work. And like I said, I do believe that Me Too has been

00:28:17.780 weaponized in the industry by people like Ari Emanuel who just want to take over people's businesses,

00:28:23.220 okay? And I think they encourage this sort of stuff. And I think maybe Ari Emanuel sees himself in

00:28:27.660 Ryan Reynolds, right? Hungry, willing to do whatever it is, taking over movies, putting credits

00:28:32.600 of things that they didn't do, things that they didn't create, and in the process kind of creating

00:28:38.240 an empire for yourself. But the reality is, Colleen Hoover, is that you fell for it, you made a strong

00:28:43.140 statement, and you hurt this person and you hurt his family. And his kids will have to grow up one day

00:28:47.900 to read that, a person who wanted nothing more other than to bring your vision to life, the vision of

00:28:53.560 your readers to life, really, what they saw when they read this book. So you got to put on your

00:28:58.700 big girl pants and you got to apologize, okay? That's all I'm going to say about that topic.

00:29:03.820 All right, guys, throwing it to one of our sponsors, PDS Debt. I know there are a lot of people that feel

00:30:10.220 for gold and silver. Under Trump's first term, the price of gold soared 53 percent,

00:30:14.960 and the price of silver jumped 51 percent. So gold may continue to break records in 2025 and beyond.

00:30:20.940 Gold and silver have been used as a store of value for centuries. The government can't easily

00:30:25.500 manipulate it, and they're known as hedges against market risk and inflation, and that's why I have

00:30:29.860 personally bought gold and silver from my great partners at Gold Co. Gold Co. is a top-rated

00:30:34.120 precious metals company. They have supported this show from the very beginning, and they've helped

00:30:37.900 hardworking Americans purchase over $3 billion in gold and silver. They know what they are doing.

00:30:43.320 Right now, you can get a free copy of their 2025 gold and silver kit. On top of that,

00:30:47.280 you could also qualify for up to $15,000 in bonus silver, possibly even more.

00:30:52.220 So to learn more, go to CandaceLikesGold.com. Easy to remember, CandaceLikesGold.com.

00:30:58.340 All right, guys. First thing I want to do, by the way, is issue a correction. Yesterday,

00:31:02.460 for those of you, the millions of you that are following the Becoming Brigitte series,

00:31:05.920 it was brought to our attention that we accidentally put up a photo of the wrong David Rothschild when we

00:31:11.520 were covering the connections of Emmanuel Macron and who put him into power. We showed this photo

00:31:17.100 of David Mayer de Rothschild, who is actually like an artist environmentalist. He is in the family,

00:31:22.580 obviously. His father is Evelyn de Rothschild. But the correct photo that we should have shown

00:31:26.960 is David René de Rothschild, and he is the one who essentially just magically put Macron into power, 0.99

00:31:33.680 despite the fact that his colleague said he was an absolute idiot who didn't even know 0.99

00:31:37.460 what IBDA stood for. So that is the correct David de Rothschild. And of course, we always want to 0.99

00:31:42.480 make sure that we do so much fact-checking here that we want to be accurate and not misidentify

00:31:47.000 someone. All right, guys. Beyond that, RFK being confirmed. Moms rejoice, okay? Anti-vax moms rejoice. 0.52

00:31:54.580 We won this. We did this. And by the way, to conservative moms, we got to give credit to the left on this one. 0.95

00:32:00.760 Crunchy culture came from the left. I'm sorry. It was like crazy lefty moms were the first ones. 0.98

00:32:07.380 We're getting all weird and granola, and everyone thought it was weird and crazy.

00:32:11.560 And then we started jumping on the train. I don't know why it happened. For me, obviously,

00:32:15.940 I was vaccine injured. And there was no information out there for a person who knew. I knew from the

00:32:22.680 time I was 20, I was not going to vax my children. After I got injured from the Gardasil vaccine,

00:32:28.180 I had a mini seizure literally in the room. So there was no gaslighting me. And the doctor said,

00:32:33.600 you shouldn't complete the series. There was no way someone was going to gaslight me.

00:32:37.220 And tell me that this doesn't happen or vaccines can't hurt you. And it has been such a climb.

00:32:43.560 The only person that I was able to get resources from was RFK Jr. And so for him to be a big reason

00:32:49.160 that I think a lot of people came together on the left and the right and to know that he is now

00:32:55.140 confirmed. The final vote tally was 52 to 48. And it was nearly entirely along party lines to confirm

00:33:02.400 him. I would say on the Republican side, it was just Mitch McConnell, the only Republican to vote

00:33:07.640 against Kennedy's nomination, which was really strange. And his reason for it was he gave the

00:33:12.400 statement, I'm a survivor of childhood polio in my lifetime. I've watched vaccines save millions of

00:33:17.240 lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world. I won't finish that, but I want to

00:33:22.820 let you know that these lies are not going to stand anymore because people are waking up.

00:33:28.140 And that is why this blessing of me being able to have a shot in the dark, you know, it's now back

00:33:33.840 up on CandaceSolens.com for all of you moms that are having children. And you maybe are not at all

00:33:40.120 anti-vax, but you also feel this tremendous pressure from big pharma, you know, the doctors,

00:33:46.400 the pediatricians, everyone that you're looking for, like vaccines are good. They're amazing.

00:33:49.220 And you're like, wait, I don't know anything about this. I at least want to not feel like I'm being

00:33:53.600 spoken to, like they're just using medical jargon and I'm just an idiot. I want to just know 0.99

00:34:00.200 something. It is such a great starting place. I essentially took what I was able to learn

00:34:04.240 from RFK Jr. and I turned it into a podcast called A Shot in the Dark. And it's available

00:34:09.320 on CandaceOwens.com. And you should share it with your friends, especially for first-time moms.

00:34:13.640 We cover every single vaccine that's on there. And so I'm just very,

00:34:17.080 very happy. It is such a win. And it is a win for all parents who are tired of being lectured.

00:34:22.660 And I do think for that reason, by the way, COVID, COVID was a gift. It's crazy. It was,

00:34:27.580 it was the shutdowns as crazy as it was with being away from our parents, relatives, the people that

00:34:31.420 had to suffer, not even being by the side of their loved ones when they died. What it did do was it

00:34:38.600 fundamentally transformed society. And so people who would have been so against this conversation,

00:34:43.500 who would have never allowed for this conversation to happen, would have just screamed,

00:34:48.220 you're an anti-vaxxer, are willing to listen now because they now realize something is very wrong

00:34:53.720 and something is very deranged with the medical institution. And they're starting to wonder,

00:34:57.540 is it all about profit? And my answer to you would be, yes, it is. And you will not be offended

00:35:01.740 watching that series. I am very gentle and going through everything. And I just arm you with the

00:35:05.940 facts. And I give you questions to ask your doctor about every single vaccine that they are trying to

00:35:10.800 push on your children. And so I hope that helps. I know, I know that it will help. I'm very proud

00:35:14.320 of that series. I think it's the most important work that I've, that I've ever done, truly.

00:35:18.600 By the way, J.D. Vance. Okay. Don't know how you guys feel about him. Love to hear it. People on the

00:35:23.660 left, I feel like he's actually kind of maybe liked. He's very, very smart, obviously. Well, he did this

00:35:29.100 incredible thing. So he attended the Munich Security Conference. And essentially this conference has

00:35:34.260 taken place since the 1960s. And you're supposed to sit up there and talk about the threats,

00:35:38.660 like the threats to Western establishment. And it's supposed to be Russia and Iran and everyone 0.96

00:35:46.220 gets up there. And this is what we have to do. We have to protect Ukraine, whatever. I'm not into

00:35:49.660 any of that. Okay. I think maybe the only thing worse than the pharmaceutical industrial complex

00:35:54.180 is the military industrial complex. And we're all missing out. And our countries are not safer.

00:35:59.380 Our cities are not cleaner. And we're constantly being told that we need to get to work because we need

00:36:03.740 to defend somebody else's cities. And it doesn't make any sense to me. And I know that's a very

00:36:09.220 conservative perspective. It's one that I stand by. And so actually, it used to be a leftist

00:36:14.760 perspective to be anti-war. I don't know. Times have changed. They really have changed.

00:36:19.020 Anyways, J.D. Vance addresses the Munich Security Conference, which is filled, obviously, with all of

00:36:25.580 these state leaders and European state leaders, European politicians. And they feel so good about

00:36:31.600 themselves. We're Europe. We're the West. We're the best. And he just shreds them for what they've

00:36:36.760 become, what we have all become. I am telling you guys, we have felt a squeeze. America is not as free

00:36:42.500 as we used to be when it comes to speech, when it comes to being able to have a political opinion

00:36:48.000 without the media coming after you, trying to get your entire life canceled. There was no cancel

00:36:52.320 culture in the 90s. You've got to go back and see like old episodes of the topics that Oprah was

00:36:57.920 covering. This one would have been called like Adolf Hitler. She literally used to cover satanic 1.00

00:37:02.940 cults. And when I talked, I even said satanic cult on an old episode of YouTube, my episode got taken

00:37:10.140 down. And, you know, freedom, our freedoms are removed very slowly. We have to be aware of that.

00:37:16.360 And sometimes I think we can be so passionate and so against an individual or so in the web of media

00:37:23.200 lies, like really believing what the media is telling us about someone is true, that we would be

00:37:26.920 willing to give up our freedoms, to have that person canceled. You don't realize that it doesn't

00:37:31.360 stop with that person, right? You're giving the media the ultimate power. You're giving the media

00:37:36.140 the power to ruin somebody's life. And we don't want to do that. So even if we think we hate one

00:37:40.860 another, we should defend each other's right to speak. And Europe hasn't been doing that as of late.

00:37:45.460 What's going on in Europe is terrifying. They have become exactly what they hate. We were supposed to

00:37:49.560 march in and end wars. God forbid the Nazis. Oh my gosh, you couldn't say things. All of the stuff that 0.65

00:37:54.400 you learned, Europe is now becoming that. And J.D. Vance just calls them out on it on stage. It's an 0.82

00:38:00.020 amazing clip. And that we're going to show you. This is only three minutes of the speech. You should

00:38:04.400 very much go watch the entire thing. But this is what J.D. Vance had to say. Take a listen.

00:38:08.840 And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's sometimes not so clear what happened to some of

00:38:15.480 the Cold War's winners. I look to Brussels, where EU commissars warn citizens that they intend

00:38:22.900 to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they've judged to

00:38:29.360 be, quote, hateful content. Or to this very country, where police have carried out raids against citizens

00:38:36.980 suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online as part of, quote, combating misogyny on the internet,

00:38:44.820 a day of action. I look to Sweden, where two weeks ago the government convicted a Christian activist

00:38:51.080 for participating in Koran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder. And as the judge in his case

00:38:59.140 chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly protect free expression do not, in fact, grant,

00:39:06.460 and I'm quoting, a free pass to do or say anything without risking offending the group that holds

00:39:14.220 that belief. A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Connor,

00:39:20.300 a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an

00:39:29.180 abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes. Not obstructing anyone, not interacting with

00:39:36.240 anyone, just silently praying on his own. After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded

00:39:42.640 to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn son he and

00:39:49.320 his former girlfriend had aborted years before. What no democracy, American, German, or European will 0.98

00:39:56.460 survive is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for

00:40:02.900 relief are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the

00:40:12.800 people matters. There's no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don't. Europeans, the people,

00:40:24.020 have a voice. European leaders have a choice. And my strong belief is that we do not need to be afraid of

00:40:33.120 the future. You can embrace what your people tell you, even when it's surprising, even when you don't

00:40:39.480 agree. And if you do so, you can face the future with certainty and with confidence, knowing that the

00:40:45.380 nation stands behind each of you.

00:40:47.740 I just loved this so much because he's essentially looking at these people in the face and saying

00:40:53.800 everything that you claim that we need to go to war to defeat, you have become, right? You have become

00:40:59.380 totalitarian. Everything that you tell us we should be fearful of in terms of communism. Think about what the entire

00:41:05.000 Cold War, the reason that this was established was really about, oh, gosh, God forbid this creeps into the United States.

00:41:10.260 You're arresting people for wrong think. People show up on your door, at your door, police officers in the UK

00:41:17.340 for wrong think. And for those of you that are following the Becoming Brigitte series, think about how far France

00:41:23.200 has taken it. They're not even just arresting their journalists. They're now trying to extend their arm into

00:41:29.100 America and send legal threats to Americans. Truly, I wish J.D. Vance had mentioned that. The absolute gall for

00:41:36.420 this dweeb of a couple to think that they are going to silence our speech, what gives them that authority?

00:41:42.580 It's because, well, things have become incredibly globalist. You have the elites at the top who have

00:41:46.480 a lot of power and you have people like us who are revolting against that power in many different

00:41:50.680 capacities, whether it's, again, against big pharma or whether it's against the WEF. We're realizing

00:41:56.840 something is very wrong and we're losing our individual freedoms, our ability to express. And they try to

00:42:02.080 distract us by turning us against one another. And the most important thing is for us to recognize

00:42:06.680 who holds true power, okay? And I will tell you one thing, it's a lot of people that are in that room.

00:42:11.000 And so for J.D. Vance to do this, a tremendous credit to him. Like I said, go listen to his entire

00:42:16.760 speech. They were shocked. They were expecting him to get up there and like rah, rah, rah, Russia,

00:42:20.640 rah, rah, rah, Iran. Here's the next war. We got to get to the never-ending war that essentially we 0.86

00:42:25.760 just money launder money to ourselves and our countries get poorer and more dilapidated over time.

00:42:31.020 And he just took it right to them. So congrats to J.D. Vance on just an incredible speech,

00:42:36.600 a really brave speech. And hopefully it got a lot of people in that room thinking,

00:42:40.280 most of all, Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte, how dare you? Literally, how dare you? All I can say

00:42:44.760 about that. I'm feeling like Greta Thunberg in her heyday, you know? All right, guys, before I get into

00:42:49.500 your comments, I want to remind you about Tax Network USA because the IRS, as you know, is the largest

00:42:53.600 collection agency in the world. They're stepping up enforcement for 2025. So if you owe back taxes today

00:42:58.840 or you have unfiled returns, do not wait for the IRS to come after you. Simply avoiding your tax

00:43:03.860 troubles is the worst thing that you can do. Even if you have anxiety about it, you have to get ahead

00:43:08.280 of it. This is the smart move. You should, of course, never, ever, ever contact the IRS alone.

00:43:14.220 Turn it over to the team at Tax Network USA. Why? Because not all tax resolution companies are the

00:43:19.960 same. Tax Network USA has a preferred direct line to the IRS. This means that they know which agents that

00:43:25.900 they can deal with and which ones that they should avoid. So Tax Network USA has proven strategies that

00:43:30.300 are designed to settle your tax problems in your favor. Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million,

00:43:35.120 their attorneys and negotiators have resolved over $1 billion in tax debt. So talk with one of their

00:43:39.980 strategists. It's completely free. Stop the threatening letters that are coming to your home.

00:43:44.680 Stop looking over your shoulder and put your IRS troubles behind you once and for all. You can do that by

00:43:49.120 calling 1-800-958-1000. Or more simply, you can just visit tnusa.com slash Candice. Again, that's

00:43:57.820 tnusa.com slash Candice. All right, let's see what you guys are saying. First up, Butterlims, 0.78

00:44:05.640 what a name, writes, hi Candice. My wife wants to know what are your pregnancy and postpartum workouts 0.99

00:44:11.860 that you recommend? Thank you. Sending love from the Bronx. You're not going to believe this,

00:44:16.000 but I've actually been working on a pregnancy workout app because obviously people always ask

00:44:21.740 me this question and I was like, why don't I just create an app? And I said it and my husband built

00:44:26.700 it. So it's kind of incredible. That's kind of how things go. I'm like, I have an idea. And then my

00:44:30.700 husband makes everything happen because he's so brilliant and so amazing. And so I will be able

00:44:34.520 to share much more of that with you after I am done giving birth. We've been working on it actually

00:44:40.040 since last year and the app is functional. I just have a lot of recording that I need to do

00:44:44.580 when I am actually postpartum so that you guys can do the journey with me. But I really do believe

00:44:50.360 in anaerobic activity, short workouts, and then a couple of days of long cardio is the short answer.

00:44:56.720 John Ray writes, Blake Lively needs to go away. She's the most useless distraction ever. She has 0.87

00:45:00.780 zero fans, as in she brings zero joy to people. We want Macron tea. Listen, well, don't worry about

00:45:06.440 that. The interview with Xavier is dropping on Monday. I know it's day off for most people,

00:45:11.160 so you can literally stay home and watch it in its entirety. You can use The Weeknd if you have

00:45:16.100 not gotten into the Brigitte series to catch up on it. I am very proud of the work that we did.

00:45:20.920 I'm also proud to announce that Xavier Poussard's book is at the top of the book charts under

00:45:26.360 politics, and it's number 23 overall, becoming Brigitte. So I presented it. Xavier Poussard wrote

00:45:32.740 the book. I essentially presented his book in the series, and it is 23 overall in Amazon books,

00:45:38.160 which is incredible, number one in politics. So you guys did that. Thank you. And his family,

00:45:43.280 who had to uproot their entire lives after being harassed for taxes, I couldn't think of—they

00:45:49.580 so deserve this. Eight years of investigative reporting while running from the evil Macron

00:45:53.660 family and their goons. Kimberly writes, before people start causing problems that'll be public,

00:45:59.460 they'll have to calculate the Candace O effect now. Thank you for saying that, but truly,

00:46:03.700 I always just give it back to you guys. You guys are the ones that write in these tips. Yes,

00:46:06.820 I get obsessed and I become a psycho, but you guys do too, and that's what's amazing. We just share

00:46:10.600 this knack for realizing that we are bigger than the media. We don't need people like Ari Emanuel

00:46:14.420 and the Hollywood Reporter to think about people. We have eyes, we have ears, and we can research

00:46:19.320 ourselves, and we can very clearly see who is wrong in this scenario, and it is not Justin Baldoni.

00:46:24.960 Who the hells? John writes,

00:46:26.620 It's strange that Ryan's mom joked about finding Ryan a new dad in that strange promo,

00:46:32.240 considering Justin has spoken in interviews about repairing his rocky relationship with his own

00:46:36.260 father recently. Yeah, I think that was part of what really triggered Ryan about Justin, was Justin

00:46:41.460 was doing a lot of work to kind of go back and make sure that he cured traumas from his childhood,

00:46:47.420 and clearly Ryan had not. He took it as a personal shot. My best guess, as I've said all along,

00:46:52.220 is that Blake opened up to him, as is implied in that skit when the mom says,

00:46:56.640 call me Ryan, that Blake opened up to him about

00:46:59.660 Ryan's unresolved trauma. His dad died. He never dealt with it, because why would he?

00:47:04.700 He's an egomaniac. He wouldn't have dealt with all the issues with his parents,

00:47:08.440 and his mom just looks like a victim of Ryan, too. So I know we're supposed to think Ryan's dad

00:47:12.580 was the bad guy, but I would say Ryan probably became his father if he was the bad guy.

00:47:17.120 Very, seems controlling, narcissistic, abusive in every clip that I've seen of him,

00:47:21.320 now that we know the context of it. But anyways, I think you're absolutely right. I think he was

00:47:25.040 very triggered by Justin Baldoni having resolved those issues and found peace in his life. There's

00:47:29.320 a lesson in there for all of us, man. Let it go. Let the anger go. Solve the relationships,

00:47:34.420 because you don't want to end up like Ryan Reynolds, who, if he wasn't an actor,

00:47:39.220 I'm not saying he would have been a serial killer. I'm just interested in what he would have been doing

00:47:42.460 if he wasn't acting. That's all I'm going to say. That's all I'm going to say. Guys,

00:47:45.620 head to canisowens.com if you'd like to support the show and support our independence.

00:47:49.140 Have a wonderful, long weekend if you're one of the many people who are not working

00:47:54.340 on Monday. But we will be here on Monday. We're not going to be here physically,

00:47:58.260 but we'll be dropping our Xavier Poussard long-awaited interview to wrap up the

00:48:03.900 Becoming Brigitte series. See you guys then.

00:48:19.140 Becoming Brigitte series.

00:48:24.900 Alright and Ant!

00:48:30.400 Thanks everyone for watching.

00:48:39.000 Watch out!

00:48:40.200 We'll see you guys next time.

00:48:42.040 We'll see you here.
