00:00:30.160 Welcome back to Candace, everyone.
00:00:32.240 My name is Ian Carroll, and welcome to the first episode where I'll be filling in for Candace while she spends time with baby Roman.
00:00:37.940 Later on, we'll have updates on Candace and baby Roman, and a crazy story of her hospital being evil.
00:00:43.520 Also, Trump goes after Big Pharma, Diddy starts his trial, and claims the freak-offs were all consensual,
00:00:49.240 and the internet is losing its mind over Macron and his buddies allegedly getting caught with a baggie of Coke.
00:00:54.960 But first, a scandal that started at kids' birthday parties at urban air adventure parks is blowing up in a massive way.
00:01:02.680 And one mom who spent the last three years fighting against a multi-billion dollar private equity monster is about to top with a whole house of cards. 1.00
00:01:10.900 All that and more right now on Candace.
00:01:13.760 So imagine you're a mom or a dad, and you want to take your kids to the adventure park for a fun day, maybe a birthday party, right?
00:01:35.620 Um, that's where today's story starts, with a young girl, seven years old, being taken by her parents to Urban Air Adventure Park.
00:01:44.180 And they were expecting just a normal day.
00:01:47.560 They were expecting a wonderful day with their kid.
00:01:50.040 And if you've ever been to Urban Air, you would know that there's all kinds of crazy things for the kids to do.
00:01:55.600 And theoretically, their staff kind of help and keep them safe, help them run the rides.
00:01:59.880 And this little girl teed up to get on one of the most popular rides at Urban Air.
00:02:06.840 We have video from that day.
00:02:09.060 Ready? Go!
00:02:10.600 I want to go back!
00:02:14.360 You got it!
00:02:16.420 We're going to need this job.
00:02:20.700 Woo! 0.99
00:02:21.180 Now, this is called the Skyrider attraction, and it's going to play a big part in today's story.
00:02:28.280 But I just wanted to jump in really quickly and give you a disclaimer that the next part of this clip is pretty traumatic.
00:02:34.080 And it doesn't show anything extremely graphic.
00:02:36.340 But if you're a parent or you have young kids, this is going to be very hard to watch and listen to because they were not expecting their day to go like this.
00:02:45.420 Are you okay?
00:02:49.520 Are you okay?
00:02:52.920 Are you okay?
00:02:56.620 Are you okay?
00:02:59.020 Somebody call 911 now! 1.00
00:03:00.980 So, that little girl unfortunately suffered a punctured lung, a traumatic brain injury, broken bones, and permanent disability, including learning deficits, hearing loss.
00:03:12.020 And her injuries are still uncertain and sustained to this day.
00:03:16.680 They have been in secret arbitration up until right now.
00:03:23.220 And this is just one poor little girl's story at Urban Air.
00:03:28.280 But unfortunately, it is very much not the only story like this.
00:03:33.740 And today, I wanted to tell you a story about Urban Air, because Urban Air is a very small piece of a very big picture.
00:03:43.220 And it starts with a man named Michael Browning.
00:03:47.400 Michael Browning is the son of, let's just say, a very wealthy man, also named Michael Browning,
00:03:55.240 who is famous in the Indianapolis real estate development scene, and the founder and chief partner of Browning.
00:04:03.220 But his son, you know, Michael Browning Jr., grows up in this lifestyle and wants to, you know, be like dad, I presume, and be a big shot.
00:04:13.020 And so, after founding a couple of companies, in 2011, he founds this company called Urban Air.
00:04:19.040 And it's an adventure park, right?
00:04:20.920 And he's growing Urban Air adventure parks, you know, with the goal of being a big shot, like his dad, I would presume.
00:04:28.980 He eventually, in 2018, gets a whole bunch of private equity funding and expands his business rapidly all around the United States,
00:04:36.540 from 45 parks at the time, up well over 100.
00:04:41.140 They initially got investment from Ross Perot's private equity firm, MPK Partners.
00:04:47.000 And they took them from just a small business in the Indianapolis area to a nationwide chain.
00:04:55.760 And they started franchising.
00:04:58.780 Franchising allowed Michael Browning Jr. to expand this business out and allow other people to buy into his franchise
00:05:04.900 and to have Urban Airs opening all around the country and to have those businesses opened by local people
00:05:13.120 that wanted to change their lives and their community by starting a business and buying into the Urban Air franchise.
00:05:18.600 This is the story of franchising.
00:05:20.740 And it is the bedrock of the American economy in a lot of ways.
00:05:25.020 Because it's a fundamental way that people start a business and not only change their own lives and their family's lives,
00:05:32.640 but also elevate their community.
00:05:34.980 Franchising, unfortunately, has taken a pretty dark turn in the last 10 years.
00:05:39.740 And we are going to come back to that theme over and over and over again throughout this story.
00:05:44.240 Because as Urban Air expanded, lawsuits started to flood in because of the way that things were being done.
00:05:52.120 And Michael Browning has had some choice words that are posted on his website to say about those lawsuits.
00:05:57.260 But as we dig this story open, you'll see that Michael Browning's words are, well, I'll just read them for you.
00:06:04.760 Quote,
00:06:05.520 This is not a franchise where I'm sitting back at my desk in some ivory tower and collecting royalties and teaching you a theory.
00:06:12.000 I'm in the trenches, experiencing what the franchisees are experiencing.
00:06:15.480 That is huge for our core and our motto.
00:06:19.700 Right on, Michael.
00:06:21.700 Good to know.
00:06:22.540 It's also good to know that, let's just say we have documentation that seems to imply that that SkyRider attraction, that zipline type of thing that that poor girl fell off of, that was not originally created by Urban Air.
00:06:38.600 And there's documentation that seems to imply that, in fact, Michael Browning Jr., shall we say, filed patents after signing a confidentiality agreement with the original company that founded it, Leap of Faith Adventures.
00:06:53.580 If you search the internet for Leap of Faith Adventures today, you will find just about nothing because Leap of Faith Adventures no longer exists.
00:07:02.900 And that's another dig for another time.
00:07:05.300 But let's just say that the emails, correspondences, and documentation that we have kind of implies what might have happened to Leap of Faith Adventures.
00:07:13.840 Because when you're founding a national chain of adventure parks, you need all kinds of cool rides and attractions and stuff for the kids to do, like rock walls and ziplines and crazy trampolines spin around tumblers and stuff like that.
00:07:27.160 And it sounds pretty dangerous because it can be, right?
00:07:30.020 And when you take your kid out to a park like that, you're expecting them to be providing the safety so that your kids can have a fun, safe time out.
00:07:39.380 Once Michael Browning Jr. had expanded his empire of trampoline and adventure parks all around the nation, he realized that he was on to something and he could expand and do even more.
00:07:50.280 So following a trend that is rampant in private equity right now, in 2021, Browning decided to scale up following a hot new trend in private equity that gets referred to as platforms where they will buy up different companies that are in the same niche, in the same sector.
00:08:07.280 So that if you wanted to fix up your house, they've got AC people, they've got cleaning people, they've got painting people.
00:08:16.000 This is just one example, but it happens in all sorts of different areas of our economy.
00:08:19.760 And Michael Browning Jr. decided that he was going to take on the niche that was all things children.
00:08:28.700 Why not apply the private equity playbook of cutting costs, streamlining businesses, and maximizing profits to all businesses' children?
00:08:38.920 So that's what he did.
00:08:41.700 And he bought up a number of businesses in rapid succession with backing from his private equity buddies, including Sylvan Learning Centers, Waterwing, Snapology, XP League, Class 101, Premier Martial Arts, and The Little Gym.
00:08:55.420 But among all brands, it has 1,200 locations across the country and serves 25 million children a year.
00:09:01.360 It generates 1.1 billion in annual revenue.
00:09:05.260 Michael Browning Jr. seems to be doing pretty good.
00:09:07.520 But problems started to arise as they acquired each of these companies.
00:09:13.060 And they didn't start with The Little Gym, but our story starts at The Little Gym today.
00:09:17.740 Founded originally by Robin West and Robin McCoy.
00:09:20.580 And I just want to show you their faces because I get the feeling we'll come back to them in the future.
00:09:25.700 But the story really comes to a head when Tiffany Cianci enters the picture.
00:09:30.360 And Tiffany Cianci bought into this franchise as a mom that was doing other business 1.00
00:09:35.860 and wanted to spend more time with her kids around 2017.
00:09:39.360 And so she thought that buying one of these franchises would be a great service to her community
00:09:43.580 and a great way to spend more time with her kids because her kids could attend The Little Gym. 0.96
00:09:48.120 And if you've not been to The Little Gym, it's a space for children of all types,
00:09:52.880 but particularly targeted children that have special types of needs, whether that be auditory, sensory, learning, cognitive, whatever.
00:09:58.540 It's a gym for all types of children to do gymnastics and learn through physical movement.
00:10:04.760 And Tiffany Cianci really found her passion there.
00:10:06.860 We're going to be drawing from news reporting and articles that have reported on Tiffany's story over the last three years
00:10:12.840 as it has gotten crazy.
00:10:15.260 And just recently, it's gone to a whole new level as cases against Urban Air and the parent company, Unleashed Brands,
00:10:22.980 have moved from secret arbitration into public court, as well as since Tiffany Cianci and several other insiders
00:10:30.500 have decided that enough is enough and it's time to come clean.
00:10:34.500 Cianci started back in 2017 and all was gravy.
00:10:38.260 It was a wonderful time and a wonderful business for her to run.
00:10:40.840 And she was very successful at it.
00:10:43.020 But then, right around the buyout with Unleashed Brands,
00:10:48.960 corporate came down to her and said,
00:10:50.460 hey, we have this new advising partner and they're going to help us with this new stuff.
00:10:54.420 And they were presented as though they were just going to advise them.
00:10:58.260 Slowly, little by little, it became apparent to Cianci and the rest of the staff
00:11:01.780 that this was not an advisor, this was a buyout.
00:11:04.980 And the buyout was Unleashed Brands.
00:11:06.840 And the advisor they were speaking to was Michael Browning Jr. himself.
00:11:10.480 Suffice it to say that Cianci and many of the other franchise owners
00:11:13.460 were uncomfortable with the various changes that were being made.
00:11:16.960 The types of changes that would separate the people running these gyms from their clients.
00:11:22.320 Things like call centers, where when a parent calls with a concern about their child,
00:11:26.340 they get a person in a call center halfway across the country
00:11:29.440 instead of the actual teachers that work with their child every day.
00:11:33.040 You could see how that could be a little bit of an issue
00:11:34.780 when you're dealing with special needs kids doing gymnastics.
00:11:37.540 But that's not really how private equity plays.
00:11:39.740 So, Cianci organized her fellow franchise owners into an association,
00:11:44.560 sort of like a union, to push back against the changes
00:11:47.000 and to stand up for the franchisee rights.
00:11:49.180 Just to clarify, a franchisee is the person that founded the small business,
00:11:53.840 the owner of the franchise.
00:11:55.440 The franchisor is the big boys, the corporates, Michael Browning Jr. in this case.
00:12:01.520 So, over the next three years and to this day,
00:12:06.180 Unleashed Brands took Tiffany Cianci through legal...
00:12:09.780 Can I say hell?
00:12:14.360 Yeah, you can say hell.
00:12:15.060 Cool.
00:12:16.100 Over the next three years, Unleashed Brands took Tiffany Cianci through legal hell, 0.88
00:12:22.420 dragging her into hundreds of thousands of debt,
00:12:24.700 through untold emotional and financial hardships,
00:12:27.380 through the most insane journey of just outright, unethical, unlawful lawfare.
00:12:35.140 This is not unique to Tiffany or unique to Unleashed Brands or unique to the little gym.
00:12:39.840 Franchises are all across America and they are all kinds of businesses
00:12:43.980 that support a huge sector of our economy.
00:12:46.520 And franchises in particular are in the crosshairs of private equity today
00:12:50.880 because they can be so incredibly profitable for reasons that we will go into.
00:12:55.420 Suffice it to say, when you are outsourcing so much of your business cost,
00:13:00.340 debt, and the actual running of your day-to-day business to individual people,
00:13:04.760 to families, and small business owners,
00:13:06.520 you can offload a lot of risk and a lot of the hardship
00:13:09.420 and just suck all the money up to the top. 0.99
00:13:13.860 Tiffany has been in arbitration,
00:13:16.380 which is a secret court system where all the rules work differently,
00:13:20.860 all the judges work differently,
00:13:21.960 everything is for profit and everything is secret by definition.
00:13:25.440 She's been in arbitration for the last three years 1.00
00:13:27.800 and we have now got information through her and others
00:13:33.000 that there are many, many other people.
00:13:36.440 We're talking hundreds of other people in arbitration just with Unleashed Brands,
00:13:40.140 let alone with other private equity and other corporations around the world.
00:13:44.020 The big picture problem with this whole story
00:13:46.200 is not just that private equity is buying up and taking advantage of small businesses,
00:13:51.700 not just that private equity is applying the private equity playbook
00:13:56.100 to these businesses that are focused on kids, mind you,
00:13:59.480 but that those practices that private equity uses are inherently counter to safety.
00:14:07.660 Tiffany gave this quote to the New York Times,
00:14:09.560 that might be okay when you're cleaning a dryer vent,
00:14:12.260 but it's not when you're throwing around a four-month-old and you need them to be safe.
00:14:16.700 Miss Sianci said, 0.99
00:14:17.800 he was moving faster than we would need to get to know the business,
00:14:20.740 referring to the changes happening at the little gym.
00:14:23.120 And the key word there is safe.
00:14:24.800 And as the clip that we opened the segment shows,
00:14:27.880 safety is obviously not the first thing on the mind of Unleashed Brands and of Urban Air.
00:14:35.460 But that is just one video.
00:14:37.380 And there are many other videos from Urban Air.
00:14:41.140 Again, we are going to blur out the most sensitive parts of these videos,
00:14:44.800 but we just wanted to get you a sense of what you can find just on YouTube
00:14:48.160 if you go searching for this type of stuff.
00:14:51.320 A Florida family is suing after their son fell from a zip line at an amusement park.
00:14:56.400 A word of warning, the video may be disturbing to some viewers.
00:14:59.760 Now, you can see the 10-year-old come around the corner
00:15:02.260 and then fall 20 feet from the zip line.
00:15:04.820 The accident happened in September at Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park in Lakeland.
00:15:09.860 An investigation by the Florida Department of Agriculture found the boy's harness
00:15:13.440 was not properly secured at the time of the incident.
00:15:17.440 Urban Air says the employees involved in the incident
00:15:20.260 don't work there anymore, and others have been retrained.
00:15:24.200 So there's examples of kids falling,
00:15:26.300 but there's also examples of adults and parents getting hurt.
00:15:29.400 In the next video, a mom almost died in front of her own daughter at their birthday party.
00:15:33.560 The video is shocking.
00:15:36.120 A mom is hanging by her neck, helpless,
00:15:39.200 as she finds herself trapped on an indoor zip line.
00:15:42.580 Time is running out.
00:15:43.880 She's in real danger of choking to death. 1.00
00:15:46.460 It happened after she says the harness apparently came loose and slipped around her neck.
00:15:51.780 It seemed as if they put the harness incorrectly.
00:15:55.700 Instead of strapping it under my arms, it seemed as if they strapped it up here.
00:16:01.140 She suffered rope burns and bruises around her neck.
00:16:04.500 Evelyn Rapier is now suing the park,
00:16:06.640 alleging negligence and improper maintenance of the ride.
00:16:10.160 And so when things like this happen, the park gets sued,
00:16:14.700 which is owned by a small business owner,
00:16:16.560 but they're just trying to comply with corporate.
00:16:19.180 Corporate, unleashed brands, pushes all responsibility down onto the park,
00:16:23.240 and anything else that they can't wash away gets filed away into secret arbitration.
00:16:28.540 And you agree to secret arbitration when you sign your kid in at the park when you sign those waivers.
00:16:34.320 Because if you didn't know, almost every waiver you sign these days,
00:16:38.520 whether you're going to the rock climbing gym,
00:16:40.480 or you're signing up for some swimming lesson,
00:16:43.140 or you're just buying a washing machine,
00:16:45.760 almost all of those waivers include what's called an arbitration agreement.
00:16:49.480 And that is where you agree to waive your rights to court
00:16:53.780 and instead agree to settle in arbitration,
00:16:57.200 which is essentially secret court, where the judges are all for sale.
00:17:00.820 Now, we're going to get into arbitration way more in coming episodes,
00:17:04.380 but suffice to say that it's a great way to cover up all sorts of nefarious stuff
00:17:10.440 if you don't want the public to know.
00:17:13.400 You might have noticed, too, that the woman in that video made purposeful note
00:17:17.840 that the harness didn't seem to be put on correctly.
00:17:20.420 And that's because these rides are not staffed correctly,
00:17:23.500 because, A, Urban Air hires children under the age of 18, 16, 17-year-olds,
00:17:32.020 and you would think that you'd need a couple of them to staff these rides,
00:17:35.180 but there's documentation that seems to show that,
00:17:39.060 quote,
00:17:39.960 Michael discussed reducing the number of attendants from 2 to 1 on the Skyrider attraction,
00:17:44.540 stating that eliminating an employee from an attraction can save a park $10,000 per year.
00:17:49.060 That very same weekend in Ahwatukee, the Skyrider attraction had one employee working
00:17:54.260 when a major accident occurred.
00:17:56.600 In LOFA's opinion, this short-term cost-saving mentality is a major concern.
00:18:01.400 You might notice LOFA is Leap of Faith Adventures.
00:18:04.820 The company that I had mentioned had originally designed this ride.
00:18:08.080 The company that I had mentioned, it appeared that maybe Unleashed Brands and Michael Browning Jr.
00:18:13.160 might have done something nefarious to take that patent and that attraction from Leap of Faith Adventures.
00:18:20.540 And now, Leap of Faith Adventures is unfortunately no more.
00:18:24.500 But this document, as well as several others that we have,
00:18:27.240 are actually from when Leap of Faith Adventures took them to court,
00:18:31.420 because they were not okay with what was being done with their rides,
00:18:34.520 the ways they were being set up, the ways they were being run,
00:18:36.940 and they made specific claims about what was going on.
00:18:39.400 That's not to mention that there's evidence that seems to suggest,
00:18:43.840 both human testimony as well as email testimony,
00:18:47.660 that Unleashed Brands was flying in Chinese nationals to put together their adventure parks
00:18:53.400 because it was cheaper than paying American labor.
00:18:56.920 You know, doesn't really strike me as the kind of thing that's safe
00:19:01.340 when you're putting together all sorts of rides and dangerous equipment
00:19:06.000 that children are going to be playing on,
00:19:07.540 but it is cheaper.
00:19:09.680 I'll give them that.
00:19:11.120 So, what Tiffany Sianci and all of the other franchisees at the Little Gym have been through
00:19:17.880 has been horrendous.
00:19:20.360 It has been a multi-year process of intimidation and of coercion
00:19:25.720 and of very complicated changes to their businesses
00:19:29.560 that do not benefit them or their children.
00:19:31.960 At least, that's how they see it.
00:19:33.260 But, there's a darker and deeper side of the story.
00:19:38.980 And that's when you start to realize that private equity is a team.
00:19:43.600 It's a club.
00:19:44.660 And they are all friends together.
00:19:46.660 And none of them really want the boat to be rocked.
00:19:49.660 And so, when Tiffany started rocking the boat,
00:19:52.200 when Tiffany stood up to these people and organized with her other franchisees,
00:19:57.720 and then when she wouldn't go away and be silenced,
00:19:59.980 they decided that they were going to make an example out of her. 0.74
00:20:03.440 And they have done a number of things over the years,
00:20:07.160 things that are almost unspeakable.
00:20:10.700 And we don't have time to speak of all of them because there are so many.
00:20:14.200 But, perhaps the most unspeakable, or at least the most inhumane that was done to Tiffany,
00:20:21.620 was captured in court during one of her depositions.
00:20:24.420 And, I'm going to let her speak for herself.
00:20:28.920 But, I do want you to know that this is going to be hard to watch,
00:20:31.220 especially if you're a mother.
00:20:33.320 But, this is what happened to Tiffany Sianci.
00:20:36.100 I might also say that there are very likely instances of significant emotional distress
00:20:41.700 related to somebody trying to expedite me having an abortion the day I lost my daughter.
00:20:46.320 Are you seeking that here in this case?
00:20:51.660 I would say yes.
00:20:53.700 And again, are you talking to the recent miscarriage
00:20:57.220 where the parties worked with you to reschedule your deposition?
00:21:01.940 Worked with me?
00:21:03.340 You tried to depose me in labor.
00:21:06.100 You tried to depose me while I was in bed bleeding.
00:21:09.040 I had contractions two minutes apart.
00:21:14.880 So, no, I would not say you worked with me.
00:21:18.200 I would say it was vulgar and inhuman.
00:21:21.200 I was copied on the emails where you asked that I be compelled.
00:21:26.480 I was copied on the email where you asked that I make sure that I had the fastest abortion possible
00:21:33.520 when my doctor's note said that I was Catholic and meeting with my priest to avoid it.
00:21:39.260 I was certainly copied when you said, you, Miss Sixkiller, 0.98
00:21:44.900 said that you thought that me bleeding baseball-sized, baseball-sized blood clots
00:21:50.680 and having contractions two minutes apart wouldn't be too stressful for me in that state
00:21:56.240 and you thought I should be deposed for 18 hours.
00:21:58.580 This is two weeks later and I am still having contractions and I am sitting here
00:22:03.060 so that I don't have to see you again.
00:22:05.400 So, yes, I would say I was copied and it was harmful.
00:22:09.400 We would have moved the hearing date out further to further accommodate you.
00:22:13.320 So, I apologize.
00:22:14.200 No, no, no, that's not true.
00:22:16.720 That is not true.
00:22:17.740 When you found out I lost my baby, within 30 minutes of getting the note,
00:22:22.380 30 minutes of getting the note,
00:22:24.300 you said you wanted me produced for deposition in labor pre-surgery.
00:22:28.940 I'm going to move to strike.
00:22:30.340 And then you said that you wanted him to order me
00:22:34.000 to have the fastest available procedure in the state of Maryland.
00:22:37.860 And if you'd been in court, you would have been referred for disciplinary action,
00:22:41.040 but we're in arbitration.
00:22:42.060 So, here we are.
00:22:42.940 Miss Sianthia.
00:22:43.520 And, yes, it was a damage emotionally to me.
00:22:47.100 And I think, I'm pretty sure you're a mom,
00:22:49.120 it would have been emotionally damaging to you.
00:22:51.180 So, that's where we wound up.
00:22:55.240 All because Michael Browning Jr. wanted to be a big boy like his daddy
00:23:00.120 and run a giant empire of children's focused franchises.
00:23:07.060 And when those franchises spoke up and said that this is not how you run a toddler gym,
00:23:13.520 this is not how you run a martial arts academy,
00:23:16.140 they stomped down.
00:23:17.220 The problem was they stomped down on the wrong woman.
00:23:21.640 And Tiffany Sianci would not give up and would not die.
00:23:24.400 And she is still fighting to this day.
00:23:26.100 And by the way, those email chains that she mentioned,
00:23:29.000 yeah, we got them and they're all right there.
00:23:31.760 And, yes, they do clearly say exactly what Tiffany was alleging on that stand in that deposition.
00:23:37.780 And a running theme throughout this whole thing will be that when you're in arbitration,
00:23:43.880 let's just say there's not really consequences for lying as long as you're on the team of the big boys.
00:23:49.260 There's not really consequences for your lawyers not following the law,
00:23:52.700 for the judges not following the law,
00:23:54.340 because it's all a system for profit and it's all being paid for.
00:23:58.100 And one team has millions and millions and millions of dollars to throw at the lawsuit.
00:24:02.620 And the other team is guaranteed to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt
00:24:07.340 until they can't fight anymore and are forced to give up and give in.
00:24:12.520 But Tiffany took to TikTok a few years ago.
00:24:16.200 And I found her story way back then, early on.
00:24:19.300 And she has been fighting ever since.
00:24:22.100 And she's fought all alone for much of it.
00:24:24.480 But eventually she grew a little bit of support and a little bit more and a little bit more.
00:24:27.960 And she's won enough of her cases, including a defamation suit by now,
00:24:31.480 that now there's all of this new documentation coming out.
00:24:34.760 Almost everything that we've shown today has never been out before.
00:24:37.700 And there is way more where that came from.
00:24:39.540 And there are way more people involved in this thing ready to talk about it,
00:24:42.760 because this goes not just all across Unleashed Brands and throughout many of their businesses,
00:24:48.280 but this goes well beyond Unleashed Brands out into the entire private equity world.
00:24:52.500 Because when you give billionaire businesses like these private equity monsters
00:24:57.280 sort of a free reign to stomp all over the little guy, 1.00
00:25:01.060 you better believe they're going to take that opportunity and run all the way to the bank with it.
00:25:05.500 And they've been running to the bank with it for so long that let's just say the little guys have had enough.
00:25:11.620 So that is where Tiffany stands today.
00:25:16.860 She is currently in court and there's a lot more to talk about as far as what's going on there.
00:25:22.780 But we just heard just recently that one of these secret arbitrations,
00:25:29.340 because all of these cases of children getting hurt, falling off of rides at the Adventure Park,
00:25:35.280 as well as Tiffany's entire case in secret arbitration about her toddler gym,
00:25:40.680 all of it's in secret.
00:25:41.860 And so none of them could speak up until just recently.
00:25:44.420 And so all these guys, the team over at Unleashed Brands,
00:25:51.100 Michael Browning Sr., who is not just daddy, he's on some of those filings,
00:25:55.400 Norman Leon, Michael Browning Jr., Laura Sixkiller, Stephen Polozzola,
00:25:58.280 all these guys that are written on all these forms that are involved in all these depositions
00:26:01.680 that are on these cases, they're going to come back up.
00:26:06.100 And we're just going to look at what they did and what they're doing and see why would you do that?
00:26:10.540 Because ultimately, you should stay away from our toddlers and you should stay away from our little gyms. 1.00
00:26:15.640 And we want our kids to grow up in a place where they can be treated like children and not like numbers for profit.
00:26:21.840 So that's the start of that story for now.
00:26:24.120 That's all we got for today.
00:26:25.260 Before we get to an update about Candice and the hospital and how it all went with baby Roman,
00:26:29.440 I want to tell you about our first sponsor, GNO Land.
00:26:31.920 If you're into the world of computer programming, you need to check out my friends at gno.land.
00:26:37.880 GNO is a distributed multi-user virtual computer implemented on top of the blockchain
00:26:42.480 so that every operation occurs in a predestined way.
00:26:46.300 User program code and memory states are made tamper-proof by the use of Merkle trees and consensus-based verification,
00:26:52.580 all provided by the underlying blockchain storage layer, itself distributed.
00:26:56.560 GNO unifies the concepts in a single concept, the realm.
00:26:59.820 Each realm is like an always-active process, running forever, for example, as a web server.
00:27:05.160 In a regular system, a live process is defined by its PID, its memory,
00:27:09.280 and the set of system resources it uses at a given time.
00:27:12.200 Similarly, in a GNO, a realm is defined by its identity and its global memory state,
00:27:16.480 which may contain, for example, the amount of coins it detains.
00:27:19.340 The realm is decentralized and put back in control of the developer.
00:27:22.100 The operating system itself becomes transparent.
00:27:24.580 Realm processes are both resource users and providers, with full control and accountability.
00:27:29.020 Learn more at gno.land.
00:27:31.720 That's gno.land today.
00:27:33.960 What if I told you that you could cut your cell phone bill in half and support a U.S. company who shares your values?
00:27:41.340 Values like supporting our local veterans and creating American jobs.
00:27:44.740 What if I told you that you don't have to sacrifice coverage because you'll be on America's most dependable 5G network?
00:27:50.260 I'm talking about the only wireless company that Candace endorses, Pure Talk,
00:27:53.980 a wireless company that is veteran-led and invests in a U.S. customer service team so that you have the best support possible.
00:28:00.380 If you're with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile, join the hundreds of thousands who have successfully cut their cell phone bill in half.
00:28:06.860 That's right.
00:28:07.640 The average family saves over $1,000 a year when they switch to Pure Talk.
00:28:12.060 Switch in as little as 10 minutes when you go to puretalk.com slash Owens,
00:28:16.160 with plans starting at just $25 a month.
00:28:18.660 What are you waiting for?
00:28:19.720 Go to puretalk.com slash Owens and make the switch to Pure Talk wireless by Americans for Americans.
00:28:25.820 So, a brief update from the hospital.
00:28:29.060 Candace gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy, Roman.
00:28:32.200 Could not be happier for her.
00:28:34.120 We're all feeling so good.
00:28:36.320 She is doing well.
00:28:37.340 I just talked to her earlier.
00:28:38.660 Baby Roman is doing great.
00:28:40.320 And they are back from the hospital.
00:28:42.000 But there was a funny incident after the hospital because Candace,
00:28:45.660 naturally, after he had a healthy baby and she was feeling great,
00:28:47.800 she left before the recommended 48-hour holding time.
00:28:53.720 Not sure why they need you to stay there for 48 hours and take all their little medicines
00:28:57.300 and get all their ointments that they prescribe.
00:28:59.420 Obviously, she did not give baby Roman all these, you know, shots like hepatitis B, 0.57
00:29:05.000 vitamin K, esnithromycin, all these things.
00:29:07.840 Department of Child Services shows up at her house doing a more or less a wellness visit,
00:29:12.720 asking her all sorts of questions.
00:29:14.180 Why did you leave the hospital early?
00:29:16.200 And she wanted to clarify when she was communicating the story to us that
00:29:19.720 the person that visited was perfectly nice and just doing their job.
00:29:22.860 But they were doing the job of going out and more or less pressuring mothers into, 0.70
00:29:28.560 you should have gotten these things and why are you leaving?
00:29:31.560 And it just is a part of this whole pharmaceutical medical complex cartel
00:29:35.860 of pressuring people into getting the drugs, getting the shots, getting the vaccines.
00:29:41.000 And Candace, obviously, being based, was like, no, thanks.
00:29:44.720 Bye. I'm doing great. Go away.
00:29:47.480 So Candace will be back at some point to give us updates to tell us how she's doing.
00:29:51.680 She'll jump into the show from time to time while she's on leave. 0.88
00:29:54.320 But she's doing awesome. And she says hi to all of you.
00:29:56.820 So next, on to the Diddy trial.
00:29:59.580 Yesterday, the Diddy trial got underway to a slightly late start.
00:30:03.420 The jury got sworn in. Opening statements were read.
00:30:06.820 Funny anecdote where the prosecution struck seven black jurors.
00:30:10.820 And the defense was trying to call them racist.
00:30:13.920 And it became this whole thing.
00:30:15.240 Ultimately, the judge sustained their motion to strike those jurors.
00:30:18.800 You know, I'm not trying to make a comment on that.
00:30:20.620 I just thought it was funny the way that it got reported on.
00:30:22.460 But then it turned out that victim three, unknown, we don't know who it is, but victim three apparently is missing.
00:30:32.020 Just a few weeks ago, victim three came forward or didn't didn't come forward, but said that they were willing to testify in the trial.
00:30:39.200 And though we don't know who it is, it obviously was important to the case because they were going to put victim three on the stand.
00:30:45.320 And then just before this all came together and before Diddy took the stand, victim three apparently was out of communication and we do not know where they are.
00:30:53.340 My thought immediately went to the girl Allie that is sharing all the salacious stuff.
00:30:58.440 I went and looked her up and she's still posting on TikTok is not her.
00:31:01.060 So I don't know what to make of it.
00:31:02.560 I don't know who victim three is.
00:31:05.340 I'm sure we can all come up with some crazy conspiracy theories about what's going on there.
00:31:09.640 Diddy's side is hoping for a mistrial just because they don't have one of their witnesses.
00:31:13.320 That is extremely unlikely, but it is possibly going to cause some delays and it might actually impact the ability to prosecute Diddy.
00:31:20.480 I presume that Diddy is pulling out all the stops as we've heard reportings of private investigators looking into people and people being pressured or influenced by his family members and just all sorts of shady, shady, shady, shady, shady.
00:31:32.880 And it's Diddy.
00:31:33.580 So what did you expect?
00:31:35.120 It's also worth noting that Maureen Comey, the daughter of James Comey, is on the prosecution team.
00:31:40.900 She also recently served as the lead prosecutor for Ghislaine Maxwell.
00:31:44.940 So it's just a funny small club of people up here.
00:31:47.300 And ultimately, that's what I really want to talk about here is that, as you might expect, nothing really seems like it's going to come out of this.
00:31:55.020 And that's because this is not the case that we were all hoping for them to try.
00:32:00.040 We got on this case.
00:32:02.120 I mean, if you've been really following it since Cassie and before, yeah, there's a lot going on here.
00:32:06.540 But when the Lil Rod lawsuit dropped and most of us kind of caught wind of Diddy and what was going on, the case was that Lil Rod's lawsuit seemed to imply and allege that this was a sexual blackmail operation and that all of Diddy's homes were wired up with secret cameras recording everything that happened.
00:32:24.600 And that Lucian Grange and Universal Music Group were named in that lawsuit originally, except then they mysteriously disappeared off the lawsuit.
00:32:36.200 No answers as to why.
00:32:38.600 That was the lawyer for Lil Rod that took them off saying that there was no evidence that they were involved.
00:32:45.640 I'm sure that it was just a big mistake that they got named in the first place, despite the fact that in the evidence in the testimony or in the.
00:32:54.160 But allegations in it, like documented, it clearly says that Lucian Grange was at the parties, that Lucian Grange had every reason to know what was happening at the parties, that he had private visits with Diddy in the evenings at his home where they disappear into his room for extended periods of time.
00:33:10.540 But, you know, when you're the big boy at the top, you don't get looked into.
00:33:16.060 You don't take the stand.
00:33:17.120 You don't get the dirt on you.
00:33:18.480 And when I was talking to the team earlier, they made me aware that I did not even know that there's a whole backstory on Lucian Grange and his big daddy.
00:33:28.320 And oh boy, is that another dig for another day.
00:33:31.240 But I just wanted to point out that the more the Diddy trials progressed, the more they seemed to depart from what was actually really being shown and suspicious in the first place, which was what seemed to be a trafficking ring with what seemed to be blackmail involved.
00:33:48.080 With what's absolutely for sure was this, shall we say, the ex-head of security of Michael Jackson somehow becoming the head of security for a trafficking operation, a blackmail ring for drugs or whatever he's doing for Diddy.
00:34:03.680 Everything about this operation stank, not to mention the property he had on the border of Mexico.
00:34:10.140 So I'm not too optimistic about what's going to come out of the Diddy trial itself.
00:34:16.020 But I am hoping that we'll at least see some dirt thrown on some other celebrities, some cracks open up in other parts of the industry that hopefully will, let's just say, tip over a few dominoes because there's a lot of dominoes ready to fall.
00:34:31.480 And it's worth noting, too, that it's not just the Little Rod lawsuit that has made these allegations.
00:34:37.080 These allegations are widespread in the industry, both from people that have worked alongside Diddy in the music world, as well as from bodyguards like Gene Deal.
00:34:45.660 Most of those girls, especially if they like mixed drinks, you understand, they see the bottles when they open them and they trying to keep their eyes on because they don't want to get no kind of drugs put in their system. 1.00
00:35:04.620 But what they don't understand is in the orange juice and it's in the cranberry juice.
00:35:11.100 They didn't put the pills and the stuff in there, the roofies, the ecstasy, the ease, all whatever they, they put it in the juice.
00:35:21.280 Yeah, but they don't put it in the baby oil. 1.00
00:35:23.820 Don't you worry about it.
00:35:25.080 So that's the Diddy story for now.
00:35:27.320 You're going to think I'm describing weight loss injections, but I'm not.
00:35:31.440 These remarkable weight loss testimonials came from a doctor formulated weight loss supplement called Lean.
00:35:37.620 Patty S. said,
00:35:39.120 I've finally found a weight loss product that works.
00:35:41.400 I wanted to lose 20 pounds and Lean really curves my appetite.
00:35:45.280 Lori M. wrote,
00:35:46.300 I struggled to get weight off and Lean has been lifesaver.
00:35:49.180 I've been losing a couple pounds a week or more.
00:35:51.600 And Kelly F. said,
00:35:52.680 I immediately noticed an energy boost and a healthy weight loss in weight.
00:35:57.000 I would promote this product to anyone.
00:35:59.120 Lean was created by a doctor and university researcher to target the goals of GLP-1s, but without the injections.
00:36:04.900 The studied ingredients in Lean have been shown to lower blood sugar, radically reduce appetite, and burn fat by converting it into energy.
00:36:11.440 If you're struggling to lose weight and a healthy diet and exercise isn't enough, Lean is for you.
00:36:16.120 Get started with 20% off.

00:36:20.600 That's code Candice20 at TakeLean.com.

00:36:33.640 Donald Trump is coming out hot after Big Pharma.
00:36:37.800 And he's, you know, had some rhetoric and he's had some stuff to say about pricing for a while.
00:36:41.420 But he just recently dropped a new executive order that, as far as I can tell, is like a silver bullet against Big Pharma that is going to take away a huge amount of their revenue stream as well as a kneecap, an entire shadow industry that is the PBMs that just siphons money out from in between as a middleman in the pharma world.
00:37:04.120 It is now on the White House website officially, today's executive order.
00:37:08.240 And if you read in Section 5, it details specifically what it calls most favored nation price targets.
00:37:16.020 And this is something that Trump has referenced before, but it has never really gotten, he never was able to get it through.
00:37:20.660 And there you can see at the bottom of the first paragraph, communicate most favored nation price targets to pharmaceutical manufacturers to bring prices for American patients in line with comparably developed nations.
00:37:34.200 Now, when Trump put out a true social post about this just the other day, he said, we're going to bring the prices down to the lowest of any nation there is.
00:37:42.080 Meaning that if in Zimbabwe, they're paying a dollar per pill, then in America, we pay only a dollar per pill, whatever the lowest price around the world is.
00:37:51.040 That language has been modified a little bit so that in the actual executive order, now Americans are mandated apparently to, we get to pay whatever the lowest price of any other developed nation.
00:38:01.780 Which is awesome because right now, we're getting grifted so hard.
00:38:06.020 Right now, Americans are paying more than just about any other nation in the world, often by multiples of 2, 5, or even 10x what other countries are paying for the exact same products.
00:38:15.460 Also, in section 4, he seems to enable direct-to-consumer sales from the pharmaceutical manufacturers at the most favored nation price.
00:38:26.800 Which is really interesting because, I mean, let's just say I've never been there, I'm no pharmaceutical expert.
00:38:35.200 But from what I'm reading there, that seems to be very much a death blow to a vast portion of pharma's profits.
00:38:43.260 And, I mean, I don't know what to make of that other than extreme optimism.
00:38:48.080 Because that's not all.
00:38:49.000 If you're not familiar, these PBMs, Pharmacy Benefit Managers, they're companies that manage prescription drug benefits and health insurers and employers.
00:39:12.120 And they just kind of, like, middleman in between the whole system.
00:39:15.840 And they just take a huge cut out from the middle.
00:39:18.380 Like, an insanely huge cut.
00:39:20.280 PBMs are over a trillion dollars a year in combined revenue, according to an FTC report, I think, from last year.
00:39:27.620 Maybe from 2023.
00:39:30.480 So, I mean, a lot's going on here.
00:39:33.500 And I'm sure that a lot of people far smarter than me will have all kinds of takes.
00:39:37.500 But I'd be surprised if anyone has any take that is not positive because, I mean, we all love big pharma, right?
00:39:45.140 So, anyways, speaking of drugs, again, a couple of the big boys got caught, allegedly, with a little baggie of drugs.
00:39:55.280 But is that really the story that's going on here?
00:39:58.660 I'm sure you've seen by now.
00:39:59.980 I mean, if you have an X account, you've definitely seen.
00:40:03.180 And if you don't have an X account, you've still probably seen Macron just squirreling away the little bag of whiteness on his table and all that stuff that's been taken over the Internet.
00:40:13.180 And everyone's making funny memes and AI videos of them dancing and whatever else.
00:40:17.920 And, yeah, he grabs his little bag and sleuths it away.
00:40:20.900 But, like, let's just pump the brakes for a second here, guys.
00:40:25.700 It might be a tissue.
00:40:28.300 Like, it really might be a tissue.
00:40:30.300 And, like, maybe it's a bag of drugs, like a really big bag of drugs, like, just so, like, that's a lot of drugs.
00:40:37.980 And just on the, like, maybe.
00:40:41.280 But regardless, even if it's a bag of drugs or it's a tissue, you can argue about that all day long.
00:40:46.780 And, yeah, it's a funny scandal, whatever.
00:40:48.640 But that's Emmanuel Macron.
00:40:52.080 And if you don't recall, he's married to a dude.
00:40:58.620 And in case you're not up to date on the story and all the other implications of that story, there's a whole series that Candace Owens made on this very YouTube channel that you could watch yourself.
00:41:10.640 And you might learn all about how Emmanuel Macron married his much, much, much older teacher that was not always a woman and might have even possibly one day been in his very same family.
00:41:25.760 That seems a lot more scandalous than world leaders doing cocaine, which I'm sure they probably all do.
00:41:34.260 And they might even all do right before the media comes into their room to do interviews with them.
00:41:39.160 And we've all seen the images or the videos of Zelensky and Ardern just going all sniffly, sniffly.
00:41:48.240 We've seen it, and I'm sure it's happening.
00:41:50.580 But ultimately, the scandal is that he's married to a dude and that that implies all sorts of other things that we want answers to.
00:42:02.040 So, yeah, that's the story about the drugs.
00:42:06.120 It's fun, but let's be real.
00:42:09.160 It kind of feels like a distraction, guys.
00:42:11.620 Let's keep our eyes on the bigger prize, like the Illuminati controlling the world through a crazy call.
00:42:16.620 I'm sorry.
00:42:17.200 I'm kidding.
00:42:17.560 I'm kidding.
00:42:17.880 I'm kidding.
00:42:20.140 Anyways, that's about it for our episode today.
00:42:24.120 I think that about wraps us up.
00:42:26.120 I really appreciate you guys coming to hang out.
00:42:28.680 I really appreciate the whole team bringing me in and welcoming me to the studio.
00:42:32.480 I cannot wait to learn from them, to learn from all the crazy rabbit holes that they've been down, and to share them all with you.
00:42:39.300 If you haven't already remembered, please like the video, share the video, subscribe to the channel.
00:42:44.600 And I'll make sure that Candice comes and pops in to say hi before too long here. 1.00
00:42:50.120 But for now, have a great night, and we'll see you tomorrow.
00:42:52.920 We'll see you tomorrow.
