00:00:13.100 TD, ready for you. 0.80

00:00:15.700 All right, so everything in the world is just ridiculous. 0.95

00:00:18.240 It's pointedly ridiculous, I would say. 0.90

00:00:20.460 I mean, I'm no longer believing the things I'm saying. 0.60

00:00:23.720 I feel like I am now lying to the public when I cover these things

00:00:26.740 because we're just reaching levels of absurdity that are offending my sensibilities, right?

00:00:31.980 First and foremost, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have hired former CIA agents

00:00:36.280 with a proven track record of lying to the public, gaslighting the public to help her with PR.

00:00:42.760 Also, they moved to do this within the same 24 hours that I started randomly getting attacked

00:00:47.820 for my coverage of Blake Lively.

00:00:49.480 Remember yesterday, we talked about the cut.

00:00:51.560 We're going to speak about that again because that journalist has got some deranged ideas of her own. 1.00

00:00:56.100 And then I just found out more about this very interesting background of E.J. Dixon.

00:01:02.940 Also, the judge in Blake Lively's case just slapped down their psychopathic request

00:01:08.180 for two and a half years worth of every message that Justin Baldoni and Justin Heath

00:01:14.200 and the PR agents have ever sent to everybody, plus location data.

00:01:18.100 We knew that was going to happen.

00:01:19.100 And we have obtained the audio of hotshot Ari Emanuel of WME, who describes himself as ride

00:01:26.780 or die for the couple.

00:01:28.300 And also great political news for those of us who are anti the never ending war campaigns.

00:01:35.060 J.D. Vance and Donald Trump just absolutely humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office in front

00:01:39.800 of cameras.

00:01:40.480 And it is really glorious because I'm just so tired of funding everybody else's borders, man.

00:01:46.280 Can we just get like cheap groceries?

00:01:49.220 Like I said, a lot going on.

00:01:50.480 So let's jump right back into it.

00:01:51.840 Happy Friday.

00:01:53.060 And welcome back to Candace. 0.99

00:01:54.220 All right.

00:02:09.360 First, just a funny Friday story.

00:02:11.460 Last night, my husband and I, we were sitting on the couch with our kids and my eldest, he's

00:02:16.900 just four years old, who is kind of starting to grapple, you know, like ideas and logic are

00:02:21.880 starting to form and he's asking a lot of questions.

00:02:24.740 And he looks at me and he asks, Mommy, did you eat my brother?

00:02:29.300 And I said, No, why?

00:02:31.960 And he said, Then why is he in your belly?

00:02:35.260 It's just like, I was so tired.

00:02:38.620 I just looked over my husband and I was like, I am not prepared or well equipped to answer

00:02:43.320 this question.

00:02:44.140 But I just love his logic.

00:02:45.400 He just thinks now he's like this ever expanding stomach.

00:02:48.020 And you keep saying my brother's in there like, did you eat my brother?

00:02:51.080 It's just amazing.

00:02:52.760 But I have to tell you this toddler logic.

00:02:54.160 It makes so much more sense to me, in my opinion, than Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds logic as

00:03:00.640 it comes to PR and all the filings that they're doing.

00:03:03.560 Because like I said, I don't even know what's really more.

00:03:05.920 I don't even know where to begin.

00:03:06.880 OK, but this is an actual headline right now in Variety.

00:03:10.520 It reads that Blake Lively hires CIA alum for crisis PR in legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

00:03:18.980 And there are a lot of implications here.

00:03:20.720 And I love this story simply because it combines what I love most, politics and culture.

00:03:26.520 And I want to explain a lot to you.

00:03:28.860 We learn in this article that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have moved to hire a PR crisis

00:03:33.540 manager with deep government ties.

00:03:35.780 As her legal battle with Justin Baldoni escalates, she's quietly working with Nick Shapiro, the

00:03:42.200 CIA's former deputy chief of staff and senior advisor to former director John Brennan.

00:03:49.720 So this guy high up, just about as high up as you could possibly get if he is the deputy

00:03:54.940 chief of staff to John Brennan, who was the former CIA director who makes me very nervous.

00:04:00.900 So I'm going to tell you why.

00:04:02.600 So apparently her legal team says they've given a quote to Variety.

00:04:07.700 They say the litigation team for Miss Lively retained Mr. Shapiro to advise on the legal

00:04:14.420 communications strategy for the ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit occurring

00:04:20.820 in the Southern District of New York.

00:04:23.200 OK, that's what Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher, that's the excuse that they're giving to the

00:04:26.320 public.

00:04:26.600 So I'm going to slow this down to you and debunk that just in general, in case some of

00:04:31.300 you guys are not up to date on the CIA's relationship with the mainstream media in general.

00:04:36.960 OK, so you should understand this before we draw the necessary conclusions from this really

00:04:41.520 bizarre move.

00:04:42.600 So it is a fact, an absolute historical fact that can never be wiped away, that the CIA,

00:04:48.500 after JFK was shot in the 60s, put journalists in the mainstream media on their payroll.

00:04:54.640 And they did this in order to control the narrative, right?

00:04:58.140 Which is another way of saying to gaslight the public, to stop the public from asking

00:05:01.800 certain questions.

00:05:03.300 There's a lot of speculation that our CIA may have been involved in that assassination.

00:05:08.180 But I'm not saying that I'm saying other people are saying that.

00:05:10.920 Wink, wink.

00:05:12.600 OK, so one of those journalists and publications that was put on the CIA payroll was none other

00:05:18.540 than The New York Times, which was published at that time by Arthur Sulzberger.

00:05:22.780 So the Sulzberger family are the ones that currently own and operate and have operated

00:05:27.560 The New York Times for a very long time.

00:05:29.340 And again, we're not in conspiracy land.

00:05:31.080 This is right up on Wikipedia.

00:05:32.540 Pulling this up for you.

00:05:33.780 We're looking at the entries for Operation Mockingbird.

00:05:39.860 Like I said, you can look this up by yourself.

00:05:42.000 This is not coming from Candace Owens.

00:05:43.740 It's just a historical fact.

00:05:44.880 And it reads here that in a 1977 Rolling Stone magazine article, the CIA and the media reporter

00:05:52.380 Carl Bernstein expanded upon the church committee's report and wrote that more than 400 U.S.

00:05:59.900 press members had secretly carried out assignments for the CIA, including New York Times publisher

00:06:06.440 Arthur Hayes Sulzberger, columnist and political analyst Stuart Alsop and Time magazine.

00:06:14.000 OK, and so it just goes on to say that Bernstein documented the way in which the overseas branches

00:06:20.160 of major U.S.

00:06:21.500 news agencies had for many years served as the eyes and the ears of Operation Mockingbird.

00:06:26.840 So you can look into this yourself.

00:06:28.920 Again, I want to stress that the Sulzberger family still owns and operates The New York Times.

00:06:33.420 And why is that relevant?

00:06:34.320 Because there is absolutely no evidence that Project Mockingbird has ever been discontinued.

00:06:40.680 But there is plenty of evidence to suggest that it's still ongoing.

00:06:43.480 OK, remember, I said to you, journalists behave like hitmen.

00:06:46.700 You just we just watch this with the Justin Baldoni case.

00:06:50.160 They just sort of take out, smear and destroy the reputations of people that they don't like

00:06:56.660 or people perhaps that their clients don't like.

00:06:59.380 But the question is, who do they do that on behalf of?

00:07:03.940 Who does it benefit when they tell perfectly curated lies to get people really upset, to

00:07:09.640 get the public very upset?

00:07:11.720 Like I said, we know that the Justin Baldoni hit piece originated from Megan Toohey from

00:07:15.700 The New York Times.

00:07:16.480 And now we have news here that Blake and Ryan, who for sure gave that information to Megan

00:07:23.360 Toohey of The New York Times, have opted to use a former top guy at the CIA for PR.

00:07:30.080 So what is he doing for them exactly?

00:07:31.500 OK, well, the Variety article goes on to tell us that Nick Shapiro, the former CIA agent,

00:07:36.340 launched a crisis PR firm called 10th Avenue Consulting back in 2015 after a very long tenure

00:07:45.220 in the federal government.

00:07:46.300 Now, in case you're wondering, how does a CIA agent have any experience to just launch

00:07:51.680 a PR firm?

00:07:52.700 Well, remember, a massive part of the CIA's job, really the most important part of the

00:07:58.680 CIA's job is managing public relations because we, the people, wouldn't agree to go to war

00:08:03.740 unless they sold that idea to us.

00:08:06.040 They need a crisis.

00:08:07.160 They need to look.

00:08:08.360 9-11 happened.

00:08:09.620 Are you guys fearful?

00:08:10.780 OK, we got to go.

00:08:11.760 Now we're going to go to never ending war in the Middle East. 0.90

00:08:13.540 They need us to feel emotions, to be angry, to be out of control, to acquiesce to sometimes

00:08:19.960 our freedoms being taken away or sometimes to being enraged and targeting our rage towards

00:08:25.040 someone like Justin Baldoni and maybe agreeing that we should sign in laws.

00:08:29.280 I don't know, whatever it is.

00:08:30.600 If you're working for a firm, you're like, well, we want to get like SAG-AFTRA union done.

00:08:34.440 You need the public fired up.

00:08:35.540 Maybe you would hire one of these guys, right?

00:08:37.560 Like I said, because otherwise, why would you want and agree to your son's going to fight

00:08:41.120 a war?

00:08:41.420 I think naturally we're all kind of averse to that.

00:08:44.540 And I would, again, argue that 50 percent, therefore, of what the CIA does is public

00:08:49.060 relations.

00:08:49.780 So here's another thing that you should know, collecting, connecting this politically.

00:08:54.280 Washington, D.C., shocking news, is massively corrupt.

00:08:57.540 I know you're like, what?

00:08:58.640 No, I never thought that D.C. could be corrupt.

00:09:01.680 Yes, it is corrupt.

00:09:02.840 Republicans, Democrats, people in between, massively corrupt institutions because we don't

00:09:09.700 have term limits and they're there and they're just figuring out how to enrich their own

00:09:12.660 pockets.

00:09:13.180 They kind of forget about us once we send them to D.C.

00:09:15.900 And what you have a lot of times is that there are former CIA agents who keep their security

00:09:21.600 clearances, meaning that they get to access the White House.

00:09:25.420 They get to access national security, intel, classified documents, because then when they

00:09:31.320 leave their federal jobs, they can charge up the wazoo to become consultants.

00:09:37.240 There are consultants that they'd like to join legal firms, legal consultants that they like

00:09:41.080 in their federal afterlife.

00:09:43.080 And they can, again, just be like, I still have access to the government, so you're going

00:09:49.560 to want to pay me a lot of money.

00:09:51.700 And so I'll give you like an analogy or actually an anecto, not even an anecto, a reality of

00:09:56.960 how that can serve people.

00:09:59.800 Hunter Biden is notorious laptop.

00:10:02.060 If you are Hunter Biden and this laptop starts going viral right as your father is running

00:10:07.060 for president, you're going to want to hire a PR crisis agency with perhaps security

00:10:12.640 clearances to let you know ahead of time what exactly the government has, if you're going

00:10:17.740 to get charged for a crime to potentially help stop that plausibility and to work within the

00:10:23.040 government to lie to the public just long enough.

00:10:26.540 Right.

00:10:26.800 We just need to gaslight the public long enough for my actions not to impact my father's

00:10:32.500 campaign.

00:10:33.580 Right.

00:10:34.480 And that actually happened.

00:10:35.440 We all know that actually happened.

00:10:36.420 First, you were told it was like Russian disinformation.

00:10:38.560 And then they had to essentially go, actually, you know, these are, in fact, photos of Hunter

00:10:41.800 Biden smoking crack.

00:10:43.540 And they it's a weird thing to know that we were kind of gaslit and lied to.

00:10:47.140 But there's this old clip that I want to show you, because way back when, because of the obvious

00:10:51.580 corruption that can take place with these security clearances, Trump revoked security

00:10:56.140 clearances of former CIA people, namely John Brennan.

00:11:00.080 So remember, Shapiro, Nick Shapiro is under John Brennan.

00:11:04.980 He's the director of the CIA.

00:11:06.800 Trump at one point rejected John Brennan's credentials to security clearances because he's

00:11:11.720 like, this is too much corruption.

00:11:12.740 And I want to show you how much of a meltdown some former CIA agents had when they went

00:11:19.500 on air and they literally threatened this guy, Paris Denard, who was for explaining to

00:11:25.420 the public that the CIA keeps their security clearances or former CIA members because it

00:11:31.100 allows them to be corrupt.

00:11:33.240 OK, take a listen to this clip.

00:11:35.560 A lot of these people that have these security clearances, and this is the secret in the swampy

00:11:40.980 Washington, D.C., they have them and they keep them because it's profitable for them after

00:11:46.060 they leave government.

00:11:46.840 Because if you have a security clearance, especially high level security clearances, your contracts

00:11:51.160 and your consulting give pay you a lot more money because of the access that you have.

00:11:55.120 I hope the president continues to do this.

00:11:57.200 And I hope he adds Omarosa to the list, because if she has a clearance, she too, because of her

00:12:01.840 actions, should have it revoked.

00:12:03.900 Well, I don't know if I'd put Omarosa in the same category of the 75 people who signed

00:12:06.940 those letters, but Phil Mudd, I imagine he wanted to react.

00:12:11.620 Profitable Paris, when I am requested to sit on an advisory board, let me ask you one question.

00:12:18.660 How much do you think I'm paid to do that at the request of the U.S. government?

00:12:22.300 Give me one answer and you've got 10 seconds.

00:12:24.620 How much?

00:12:26.120 I'll give, I'll ask you a question.

00:12:27.780 How much are you paid for your consulting and contracting gigs for being a former official?

00:12:32.660 I have no contracts with the U.S. government that pay money.

00:12:35.140 I'm not talking, and this is the thing.

00:12:36.560 When I'm asked to offer advice to the U.S. government, I get paid zero.

00:12:40.140 Phil, let's be honest.

00:12:40.400 Phil, let's be honest.

00:12:41.560 That's it.

00:12:41.740 I'm not talking about your role with the federal government.

00:12:44.300 I'm talking about the contracts and gigs that you get from being a consultant and a

00:12:48.540 contractor.

00:12:49.420 The consulting firms that they form and that you all get is because you get more money when

00:12:53.900 having a consultant, before having the security clearance.

00:12:56.580 Stop acting like that doesn't happen.

00:12:58.080 I have zero consulting relationships with the U.S. government.

00:13:01.200 Zero.

00:13:01.580 I'm not talking, Phil, that's a good talking point.

00:13:03.760 I'm not talking about relationships with the government.

00:13:05.680 I'm talking about in the private sector.

00:13:07.300 When you have a security clearance and you keep it.

00:13:08.740 I have zero relationships with the private sector that involve my security clearance.

00:13:13.180 Zero.

00:13:13.980 I get zero dollars from consulting companies that deal with the U.S. government.

00:13:17.920 Are we clear?

00:13:19.100 Well, I will be clear in saying that everybody in Washington, D.C. knows.

00:13:22.500 If you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you.

00:13:24.560 But if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you get more money to have it.

00:13:28.840 We're done, Jim.

00:13:28.920 We're done.

00:13:29.300 Get out.

00:13:30.600 Phil.

00:13:30.980 It's not your show, so I'm staying right here.

00:13:33.080 Don't be so distensive about this.

00:13:34.880 Get out.

00:13:36.260 Yeah, you only freak out when you're lying, right?

00:13:38.160 You'd be totally calm otherwise.

00:13:40.020 But the purpose of showing you that clip is to essentially paint a picture to you of why somebody like Shapiro, Nick Shapiro, who Blake and Ryan have hired, might want to be launching a crisis PR firm after they leave the CIA.

00:13:54.740 And he did hold on to his former security clearances.

00:13:58.320 Now, he no longer holds on to those clearances because guess what?

00:14:01.860 He lied to the public in a rather egregious way.

00:14:04.620 He was one of the 51, one of the 51 former senior intelligence agents who signed that letter to gaslight us all in 2020, claiming that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation, which was just retrospectively an insane lie.

00:14:19.540 An unbelievably bold lie.

00:14:21.620 And then when that lie eventually fell apart, he had his clearance revoked.

00:14:25.320 Again, I'm reading this from the Variety article.

00:14:27.920 It says, quote, Shapiro is not without controversy.

00:14:30.680 He was one of the group of 51 former senior intelligence officials who signed the widely cited and subsequently criticized 2020 open letter stating that the Hunter Biden laptop, quote, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.

00:14:46.340 And that, my friends, is exactly why Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have hired him, because he has proven that he is willing to lie without flinching, that he will straight up lie to protect his clients.

00:14:59.860 He will lie to gaslight the public.

00:15:01.840 And he has proven successful under that model because there are many people who took their word for it and thought, OK, this gaslight, this this this laptop, nothing in this is real, just long enough for it not to impact any election.

00:15:13.460 Like maybe there are some people who would have voted differently.

00:15:15.560 Who knows? We can't go back.

00:15:17.460 But it shows you who he is.

00:15:19.340 It tells us what what we should know about his character, which is essentially that he has no morals.

00:15:24.520 And so this is a terrible look for Blake and Ryan Reynolds.

00:15:27.700 But these two seem to be very intent on making every wrong move, in my opinion, like they truly believe they are too rich and too connected to have to face any responsibility for their lives.

00:15:39.900 They're just going to hire people who are more immoral than them to handle it, to just make it go away. 0.79

00:15:46.020 So it's now extremely, by the way, interesting to me that I suddenly got contacted at the same time by both New York magazine and their sister publication, The Cut, by their senior writers, which I told you about yesterday.

00:15:59.000 And one of the most blatant hit pieces to happen to me, I would say actually this whole year, it was pretty blatant, rather egregious.

00:16:08.000 And I told you guys about this yesterday, but I want to expand upon it because more information has come to the forefront.

00:16:12.960 The writer, E.J. Dixon, contacted us under the guise of an agreement pretending that she was just interested in how my podcasts have gone viral on the Blake Lively situation.

00:16:22.780 And so I agreed to this phone call because I don't really care about the smearing and libeling anymore.

00:16:28.080 I think everyone left and right is kind of waking up and we're fracturing our trust with the mainstream media.

00:16:32.740 But then the conversation got really weird.

00:16:35.020 So first, I want you to I just want to read this sentence that came out of it to show you how dishonest she was. 0.79

00:16:40.540 She wrote on her live stream.

00:16:43.380 She's talking about my past extreme views that have led people to disavow me. 0.52

00:16:48.660 She writes on her live streams and her social media, she has equated the Jewish religious practice of Kabbalah with pedophilia, nodded to medieval Blythe level conspiracy theory that Jews ritualistically slaughter Christian children. 0.90

00:17:03.980 It's a complete lie.

00:17:04.900 And has referred to some of the historically documented atrocities of the Holocaust, such as Joseph Mengele's experiments on twins as bizarre propaganda.

00:17:13.960 So she writes that. And it's fascinating that she included like she asked me these questions and I gave her such concrete answers to debunk these lies in the media.

00:17:22.840 And she chose not to publish it because her job was to smear me, not to clarify any of the smears that haven't written about me.

00:17:28.600 But that part about the Kabbalah, the Kabbalah was really interesting because on the phone call, she suddenly gets very weird.

00:17:34.080 And she's like, I read on the ADL's website. I couldn't find a source for it, but I read that you think Judaism is for pedophiles. 0.66

00:17:43.520 And I said, you couldn't find a source for it because I've never said that. 0.99

00:17:46.080 I was like, that would be foolish. Absolutely foolish. I'm Christian. 0.99

00:17:48.860 What is the what are the first five books of the Bible? It's Judaism. 0.60

00:17:52.060 I was like, of course, I never said that. And she said, so do you think they mischaracterized your statements?

00:17:56.200 I said, no, I think they outright lied.

00:17:58.600 And then she starts asking me about the she's like, what about the Kabbalah?

00:18:03.060 And I said, well, I can clarify for you what statements I did make and I can give you the names of the authors, the Jewish authors that I read.

00:18:11.140 I was referring to Sigmund Freud, who created all of these like sex theories regarding children.

00:18:16.760 And I read two books. I read a book by David Bacon, who is a formerly he's he is passed away now.

00:18:22.620 But he was a Jewish professor who taught at Harvard, the University of Chicago.

00:18:27.880 And he wrote a book about Jew about Sigmund Freud and the Jewish mystical tradition.

00:18:32.880 And then I told her, and more importantly, is this Jewish Harvard graduate, Jeffrey Mam, saying his middle name wrong, Moussaif Masson, who wrote this really incredible book that is a part of our book club.

00:18:45.620 We're going to read it this year called The Assault on Truth, Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory.

00:18:50.080 And I said, no one, in my view, has more authority to speak on Sigmund Freud than this guy because he was hired as the assistant director, soon to become the director of Sigmund Freud Archive Center.

00:19:02.860 He worked with Sigmund Freud's daughter.

00:19:04.400 Anna Freud was very close to her.

00:19:06.080 And while he was working at that center, he learned German so that he could read Sigmund Freud's notes that had never been released to the public.

00:19:12.160 And he basically discovers, while reading this note, that Sigmund Freud had created these theories not because he actually believed that children were attracted to their parents, but because he was covering for pedophiles.

00:19:23.320 Like, these children were actually being assaulted by their parents.

00:19:26.520 And I told her this on the phone.

00:19:27.760 I literally said, here's the book, here's the author, and here are the people that have connected those dots for me, and I think we need to go back and discuss Sigmund Freud.

00:19:34.500 And she didn't include any of that in the article.

00:19:36.200 She just republishes the lies, which is amazing, but it's going to get even more amazing. 0.98

00:19:41.240 So then I'm like, you know, I'm pregnant, okay?

00:19:43.700 And I decided that I had time to just kind of obsessively, all I like to do is research, research this writer, because why would you just outright smear me when you could have just clarified what I was speaking about and included what I said?

00:19:57.100 And I find this article, you guys, of what really perturbed her about this Sigmund Freud thing.

00:20:04.260 And it's an article that she has published, she had previously published, regarding her childhood friend who was convicted as a child molester.

00:20:13.740 And I'm going to read from it directly, because I think this is really important for all of us to recognize who are the people that are in control.

00:20:22.000 So she's publishing an article saying, my views are just so contemptible, and here's what she thinks, here's what she still thinks.

00:20:29.480 And now I'm going to read you her views.

00:20:31.500 This is a first-person article that she published in Cashmere magazine.

00:20:36.240 She wrote a few months ago, upon looking at a former elementary school photo and doing a cursory Google search of former classmates,

00:20:44.240 I discovered that a former childhood friend of mine, who I'll call Sam, a boy that I hadn't spoken to in more than 10 years,

00:20:49.720 a boy who used to zip to school on his Razor scooter every morning, a boy who went to my bat mitzvah,

00:20:55.140 is now a convicted child molester.

00:20:58.060 Partly out of morbid curiosity and partly out of an attempt to reconcile the floppy-haired boy that I once wrote NSYNC parody lyrics with,

00:21:06.800 and the person that he turned out to be, I spent many late nights combing through his court documents.

00:21:11.380 I learned that he had molested his half-sister, a girl I remembered as a baby in her pretty mother's stroller on multiple occasions.

00:21:18.360 I learned that he was part of a child-porn file-sharing community, and that the feds busted him at his mom's house.

00:21:24.800 He is currently serving a five-year sentence at a penitentiary in Texas.

00:21:29.660 The rest of this article is not spent speaking about his victims or speaking about his sister.

00:21:35.040 It's then spent trying to convince the readers, and I'm going to read it verbatim because I don't need to take her out of context here,

00:21:39.640 that the problem is that we aren't trying to find solutions for him, for the person who molested a child and victimized other children via child pornography.

00:21:50.020 The article is entitled, Could Child Sex Robots Cure Pedophilia?

00:21:54.860 Like, robots that look like children that would allow pedophiles to get out their frustrations.

00:22:00.180 She, what I thought about earlier this week about Sam, when I came across a Forbes piece about child sex robots 0.94

00:22:07.260 and how they could potentially be used as a therapeutic tool or an outlet for pedophile sexual desires.

00:22:14.560 She then quotes a person named Ron Arkin, who's the director of a tech lab,

00:22:19.320 who says that childlike robots could be used for pedophiles the way that methadone is used to treat drug addicts.

00:22:24.920 She then, going back into her first person, says,

00:22:27.340 in recommending that this future technology be used in a controlled research setting,

00:22:32.220 Arkin's cautiousness is understandable, given how quick our society is to demonize pedophiles,

00:22:37.460 as well as demonize those who suggest any mode of treatment for them short of execution.

00:22:42.880 She then says,

00:22:43.820 The aversion to discussing the potential reality of child sex robots is also understandable.

00:22:49.840 Without a doubt, the idea of pedophiles having the opportunity to have wide-eyed, 0.96

00:22:53.880 pigtailed child sex dolls sent to their homes the same way one would a bag of groceries 0.99

00:22:58.800 or a bunch of books off of Amazon is incredibly horrifying. 0.98

00:23:02.640 But in reading my former friend's story and in reading the stories of other pedophiles,

00:23:07.660 as well as this American's Life segment,

00:23:11.800 I've become convinced that we need to stop getting caught up in our knee-jerk reactions

00:23:16.840 to adults having sex with children.

00:23:19.080 She literally writes this. 0.96

00:23:22.260 Like, the problem is us.

00:23:23.740 We need to stop getting caught up in our knee-jerk reactions

00:23:26.400 to adults having sex with children,

00:23:29.300 however despicable we might find it,

00:23:31.040 and start focusing on rational solutions.

00:23:34.440 When we talk about pedophilia,

00:23:36.100 which is defined as a predominant attraction to prepubescent children,

00:23:39.960 we need to get two things straight.

00:23:41.860 Not all pedophiles are child molesters.

00:23:44.000 That's one.

00:23:44.480 And two, pedophilia is not a psychological aberration that can be easily tweaked.

00:23:50.320 Many researchers have argued it's actually a fixed sexual orientation.

00:23:55.740 This is an uncomfortable possibility for many to acknowledge,

00:23:58.600 but the fact is, is that just as you hit a certain age

00:24:01.560 and you knew that you were attracted to girls or boys or neither or both,

00:24:07.260 pedophiles hit a certain age and they knew they were attracted to children.

00:24:10.420 Like all sexual orientations, pedophilia is immutable 1.00

00:24:15.340 and it's unlikely to change with medicine or therapy.

00:24:20.160 Then she goes to, and she's going to make us feel really good about her friend.

00:24:23.060 She really has, like this guy who went to her bat mitzvah,

00:24:25.240 clearly she, I don't know if she had a crush on him,

00:24:27.100 but like this is her emotions are spent on him.

00:24:30.000 She writes, there is no evidence, she admits,

00:24:31.900 there is no evidence that child-sized sex bots or virtual child porn

00:24:36.500 is any more effective as a means of curbing sexual desires towards children.

00:24:41.420 But there's also no evidence that it isn't either.

00:24:43.920 And we need to start thinking about pedophilia in a rational rather than an emotional light.

00:24:50.360 When I first heard about Sam and the horrific things he did,

00:24:52.940 I found it impossible to reconcile that shy, floppy-haired, razor-scooting 10-year-old that I knew

00:24:58.960 with the 20-something bastion of evil that he'd become.

00:25:01.700 And I wondered what kind of trauma he must have experienced in his youth 0.75

00:25:05.180 for him to have become such a monster.

00:25:07.280 But from reading the court documents, what I came to understand is that there was a third person.

00:25:11.580 This person was the shy and underdeveloped for his age.

00:25:15.460 This person wanted desperately to forge connections with anyone his own age, male or female.

00:25:20.240 And he was intimate with both.

00:25:22.160 This person was lonely.

00:25:23.740 This person at one point realized that he had this feeling inside of him.

00:25:26.480 And this person at another point made a terrible decision to act on it.

00:25:29.960 And as horrible as this might sound, I don't feel anger towards him or even disgust.

00:25:35.720 I just feel so incredibly sad for him and for all the little shy, floppy-haired boys like him

00:25:42.880 who recognized this darkness inside of them and knew the futility of trying to make it go away.

00:25:50.460 Ladies and gentlemen, that is E.J. Dixon, the young woman who called me and is now signaling to the public

00:26:01.500 that it's my views that are problematic.

00:26:04.020 It's my view.

00:26:04.740 Why would people watch Candace Owens and her views? 1.00

00:26:08.380 She's so problematic because she has an issue with Sigmund Freud. 0.66

00:26:11.840 And no, actually, this is very problematic.

00:26:14.280 This woman is a senior writer, okay?

00:26:16.900 The senior writer for both New York Magazine and The Cut, okay?

00:26:23.740 She also has bylines in The New York Times and was apparently an unproblematic person for the New York Magazine and The Cut, okay?

00:26:31.500 She doesn't hide her beliefs.

00:26:33.060 She has this weird way, as I started going back through her work,

00:26:36.220 of sort of fusing the topics of sex and children in her public persona. 1.00

00:26:40.700 For example, when she was seven months pregnant, okay?

00:26:44.880 She opened up to The Cut about how she was suddenly really into watching, quote-unquote, terrible gangbang porn.

00:26:53.960 This is it.

00:26:54.300 This is actually published in The Cut.

00:26:56.120 E.J. Dixon found herself with the libido of a teenage boy, including a desire to watch hardcore pornography,

00:27:02.480 the kind of terrifying gangbangs that she'd never seen or saw before.

00:27:06.840 And by the way, this is the tip of the iceberg, because I just thought it was just too gross to keep going through the stuff that she promotes 0.99

00:27:12.680 and the stuff that she says publicly.

00:27:14.640 And I'm getting the feeling that it's really my staunch views against pedophilia.

00:27:21.000 Even if a pedophile attended your bad mitzvah when he was young, that is what really upset her.

00:27:27.240 I want to be clear.

00:27:29.280 I could show you much more on that stuff, but the point of all of this is so that you understand that these are the people.

00:27:36.220 These are the sorts of people.

00:27:37.680 These are the morality.

00:27:39.620 This is the morality that guides the people that write hit pieces.

00:27:44.360 So whether they work for the CIA and they have no problem lying, whether they work for one of the CIA's satellite publishers and they have no issues lying,

00:27:54.400 what they share in common is, in my view, just immorality.

00:27:58.920 Like they are just happy to do and say whatever and feel nothing.

00:28:03.560 And they always have this perverse relationship with the truth.

00:28:09.300 Like they feel they root for the bad guy.

00:28:11.280 Anyway, again, nowhere in this piece she talked about his little sister again.

00:28:14.780 It's just like I feel really sad for Sam, not his little sister that he molested.

00:28:21.200 Anyways, you guys, we have obtained the audio of Ari Emanuel, which we're going to get to.

00:28:24.760 We also have to get to Trump slapping down Zelensky alongside J.D. Vance.

00:28:29.880 It's really quite a show.

00:28:30.960 But first, I want to remind you about crowd health.

00:28:33.280 Health insurance is confusing, expensive, and it's frustrating.

00:28:35.560 And claim denials are becoming more and more common.

00:28:37.820 In fact, one in five Obamacare claims were denied last year.

00:28:40.720 And that is just unacceptable.

00:28:42.420 The headache of health insurance is exactly why CrowdHealth was created.

00:28:45.720 It's not health insurance.

00:28:46.780 It's a better way to pay for your health care through crowdfunding.

00:29:10.040 And you'll get access to telemedicine visits, discounted prescriptions, and so much more without doctors' networks getting in the way.

00:29:15.900 And of course, when you join the crowd, a group of members just like you who want to help pay for each other's unexpected and medical events.

00:29:39.600 Also, we know the IRS is the largest collection agency in the world, and with April 15th now fast approaching, it is more aggressive than ever.

00:29:48.100 In 2025, enforcement has ramped up, and if you owe back taxes or you have unfiled returns, waiting is not an option.

00:29:54.240 But longer you do wait, of course, it gets worse.

00:29:56.700 Ignoring your tax troubles is the worst thing you could possibly do, though.

00:29:59.180 So get ahead of it and get ahead of it right now.

00:30:01.900 That's the smart move.

00:30:03.120 And I'll tell you this, you should not contact the IRS alone.

00:30:05.860 Instead, let the experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you, because not all tax resolution companies are the same.

00:30:37.540 That's TNUSA.com slash Candace.

00:30:42.180 Okay, first we should cover this update in the Blake Lively lawsuit.

00:30:45.740 So you will remember, I think it was last week, we covered this absurd subpoena that was filed by Blake Lively's team.

00:30:52.060 They were asking for basically every text message and every phone call for every person that they are suing, dating back two and a half years.

00:31:03.660 It was a ridiculous request.

00:31:04.700 They knew they were never going to get it. 0.98

00:31:06.260 And I said, why would they do this?

00:31:07.580 Why would they file something that no court would ever grant in a million years?

00:31:12.360 And I said, probably because, you can literally go back, I predicted this. 1.00

00:31:17.700 I said, probably they are going to do this because they think the public is stupid. 0.98

00:31:22.780 And so when the judge come back and says no, they're going to go to the press and they're going to say, 0.96

00:31:26.640 why doesn't Justin Baldoni want to give us every single communication and text message that he's ever had for the last two and a half years?

00:31:32.500 He must be hiding something.

00:31:35.020 Like what?

00:31:35.880 And guess what?

00:31:36.540 That's exactly what happened.

00:31:38.800 The judge slapped down that absurd request.

00:31:42.220 And there's a little more nuance there and we'll get into it.

00:31:44.780 But quite literally, this is what the spokesperson for Lively said.

00:31:49.000 They said, quote, what is Brian Friedman hiding?

00:31:51.940 That's what they said to Deadline after the ruling was made public.

00:31:55.520 They continued, quote, after promising to release all the receipts,

00:31:59.680 Friedman ran into court to keep secrets the phone records of who Baldoni, Heath,

00:32:04.160 Sarowitz, Nathan Wallace, and Abel were calling during their retaliatory campaign.

00:32:09.440 So instead of getting these records from the phone carriers the way that we initially requested,

00:32:13.720 the judge has ruled that if we simply submit more specific requests,

00:32:16.880 we will be able to get the records we are seeking.

00:32:19.260 The spokesperson added today, we will do that.

00:32:21.260 And we are submitting those requests directly to the defendants involved.

00:32:24.280 And we look forward to seeing the records. 0.96

00:32:26.180 I mean, it is weird how dumb they think the public is. 0.98

00:32:30.400 Like, what what do you mean? 0.99

00:32:32.080 Why on earth would you be allowed to see every single message that someone has sent for two

00:32:36.620 and a half years predating even the time frame that these people were their PR agents?

00:32:41.920 What are you talking about?

00:32:42.860 You're looking for stuff so you can embarrass them, so you can know things about them.

00:32:46.880 I would never in a million years be like, yeah, you can subpoena every single text message

00:32:51.460 that I have with my sisters and my friends and my husband and whoever it is.

00:32:55.860 Anyways, I'll take you through the judge's ruling because it is actually a kind of a split ruling,

00:33:03.340 obviously very much in the favor of Justin Baldoni.

00:33:05.580 But I'll tell you this so that you know what happens next.

00:33:08.500 So Judge Lehman writes, Wayfarer Studios, Justin Baldoni and Jamie Heath moved to quash the subpoenas

00:33:15.160 issued to their cellular providers, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

00:33:19.740 For the reasons following, the motion is granted in part and denied in part.

00:33:25.080 Lively served the subpoenas on February 12th, 2025.

00:33:29.240 The subpoenas requested all documents concerning ingoing and outgoing calls or text messages

00:33:34.780 related to telephone numbers belonging to Wayfarer parties and related individuals

00:33:39.460 within the time period of December 1st, 2022 to the present, included but not limited to call logs,

00:33:46.640 text logs, data logs and cell site location information.

00:33:50.680 She wants to know even where you were when you sent the text to your doctor about the rash on your child's buttocks.

00:33:57.780 Like that's what they essentially were asking for.

00:33:59.720 OK, now the telephone numbers of the Wayfarer parties and related individuals are identified in the subpoenas.

00:34:07.360 Then they say that what happens next was that on February 14th, the Wayfarer parties obviously came back and said no.

00:34:13.060 They moved to squash it and they said because what you're asking for is, quote, overly broad and invasive.

00:34:19.180 So the court then ordered that they both meet and say come back with something logical that you can agree to after the after the parties conferred,

00:34:25.620 Lively agreed to remove all documents and to remove the request for location locational data

00:34:31.980 and to clarify that the subpoenas seek only call logs and text logs that reflect non-content and numerical information regarding ingoing and outgoing text messages.

00:34:43.800 The Wayfarer parties then came back and said, no, they shouldn't even have a right to that because some people are not involved at all in this lawsuit.

00:34:50.940 Why don't you just request basically the numbers of people that are our communications?

00:34:57.260 But why would you have third parties? Why would you be able to see what's going on between them?

00:35:01.620 And so the judge came back and he said, yeah, they objected to the fact of the phone numbers with for anyone with whom that they converse with.

00:35:10.400 Lively argued that the purpose of those subpoenas is to lead to admissible admissible evidence regarding communications,

00:35:16.380 not only for the defendants, but among the larger network of individuals who perpetuated the untraceable campaign against Ms. Lively.

00:35:25.380 Now, the judge came back and he said that the court must weigh the relevance of the probative value of the documents that were being sought against the privacy interests.

00:35:33.520 And he felt that the subpoenas of the Wayfarer parties phone records, even as Blake Lively had modified the request, did not meet those standards that they were.

00:35:45.240 The request was overly intrusive and disproportionate to the needs of the case.

00:35:49.260 And here's where it gets funny, because he says this.

00:35:51.300 He says, even though Lively has narrowed her request to exclude the content of calls or messages, the phone records themselves will still contain sensitive information regarding doctors, psychologists or even acquaintances.

00:36:06.840 Lively has identified no means to segregate those numbers that may have some relevance to her case from numbers that would have no relevance to her case.

00:36:14.980 And here's the biggest part.

00:36:16.140 She mainly argues that the subpoenas will help her identify the larger network of individuals who perpetuated this campaign against her.

00:36:24.200 But according to Lively's own complaint, this negative campaign did not begin until August of 2024.

00:36:30.160 And then he cites her own filings and says, ma'am, you filed a lawsuit saying, quotes, that the beginning of the plan to destroy Lively's reputation began in August of 2024.

00:36:41.560 Now you're requesting to see everything dating back from 2022.

00:36:47.240 He writes, it is therefore unclear how communications to and from wayfarer parties in 2022 would reveal individuals who participated in the campaign. 1.00

00:36:57.620 That is the kindest way that a judge can say to you that your lawyers are stupid. 0.99

00:37:02.660 It's like very, he's like being nice. 1.00

00:37:03.820 And he's like, your lawyers are really stupid because you guys started this lawsuit and you said that this campaign began in August of 2024. 0.93

00:37:12.720 And now you're suddenly asking me to see text messages dating back 2022. 1.00

00:37:17.100 You are not able to hold a logical thought.

00:37:19.600 But guess what?

00:37:20.120 I, as a judge, I am able to hold a logical thought.

00:37:22.600 So we're going to slap that down.

00:37:23.920 You obviously cannot do that.

00:37:25.300 You can now, you can, however, and this is where he grants them the request.

00:37:28.820 You can, however, receive the communications regarding not just wayfarer parties, but potentially third parties they were communicating with from that time of August 2024 going forward.

00:37:40.280 So they're basically going to get four months of messages from August 2024 until December in 2020 of messages, including third parties.

00:37:49.400 They felt that that was relevant, that she could, in fact, see who they're texting and who those individuals who they potentially could have been coordinating with that are not parties to the suit, as long as it is people that are mentioned in the suit.

00:38:04.140 So she's mentioned some third party individuals, like she mentioned Jed Wallace.

00:38:08.300 He was not actually a party to the suit.

00:38:10.460 Well, she will be able now to receive his messages for four months to be able to see if phone calls took place for four months.

00:38:18.220 And, of course, they did because they hired him.

00:38:21.040 So I don't know what they're going to be able to discern from those communications, but he has granted that order.

00:38:25.740 So it's really a positive movement, I would say, obviously, for Justin Baldoni's team.

00:38:30.380 They basically got everything they wanted, and they're just going to have to, which they were willing to do, comply with a limited scope subpoena.

00:38:39.060 Okay, now we have to get to this leaked audio of Ari Emanuel and Freakonomics.

00:38:42.940 Remember we showed you, I think it was yesterday, how they pretended that something happened with the audio.

00:38:47.860 And we don't know what it is.

00:38:49.060 I now understand why it is that they did not want this audio to see the light of day.

00:38:55.320 And you're going to hear something that Ari Emanuel says that is going to be extremely problematic for his clients, who he's, quote unquote, ride or die for.

00:39:04.340 You're going to hear him say that.

00:39:05.420 And, yeah, it's definitely going into the lawsuit.

00:39:10.240 It definitely proves the point that Justin Baldoni was hurt financially by what Blake Lively did with the rumors and colluding with The New York Times that he lost money and he lost opportunity.

00:39:23.380 So this clip is rather long.

00:39:24.920 It is three minutes.

00:39:25.720 I feel like we should let you hear it in its entirety.

00:39:28.180 My team cleaned it up.

00:39:29.560 Again, it's a crappy audio.

00:39:31.060 We cleaned it up the best that we could.

00:39:32.560 So you might have to strain your ears a little bit.

00:39:35.060 But here is Ari Emanuel on stage, the Freakonomics podcast.

00:39:38.980 Take a listen.

00:39:40.100 I wonder if you could tell us about a little bit of a mess that I gather you've been involved in.

00:39:46.140 Oh, yeah.

00:39:47.220 I know where you're going with this one.

00:39:49.300 Do you have notes on it?

00:39:50.360 Oh, yeah.

00:39:51.040 Those are the two things I said to myself.

00:39:53.260 This could come up.

00:39:55.520 Okay.

00:39:56.000 So I have to admit, I'm not I don't keep up that much on other ones.

00:40:00.700 But even I, copying the Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, let the record show for those listening

00:40:08.940 at home, Ari just slit his throat. 0.95

00:40:11.520 I mean, it's like a f***ed up bad situation. 0.98

00:40:15.280 Yeah, that.

00:40:16.800 Ohlone, Valzoni, whatever his name is, is doing.

00:40:19.840 And it's possible.

00:40:20.680 Now, he was your client, too.

00:40:22.060 It's always fine.

00:40:23.040 Until I fired him.

00:40:24.240 Right.

00:40:25.080 You know, just give Ohlone a little back story.

00:40:29.060 It's not really fair.

00:40:31.320 I've known Ryan and Blake for over a decade.

00:40:35.740 They're really incredible people.

00:40:37.740 In Hollywood, they have been incredibly successful.

00:40:41.560 People work with that.

00:40:42.560 They never had any bad mojo out there and treat people bad.

00:40:47.420 They kind of are charitable, could help them with their foundation.

00:40:53.240 They give them tons of money away.

00:40:55.520 If what is alleged in her lawsuit that happened on social media, just because she complained

00:41:04.680 to the studio that things were unhealthy on the set, that he was director and this man was

00:41:09.500 the producer.

00:41:09.940 And they did prefer what they're saying.

00:41:14.040 They're really bad people.

00:41:16.040 And Blake, I know Blake.

00:41:19.120 I know Ryan.

00:41:20.260 They're actually good people.

00:41:21.780 Now, social media is a really good thing at times because it lets people, stars, connect

00:41:28.640 with their fans.

00:41:29.460 But these two guys used it in an evil way, if that's true.

00:41:33.680 And we just have to be cognizant that we can rue.

00:41:37.780 And they should no longer be out there intimidating people, using social media now and trying to

00:41:44.980 hurt them and using what they have been doing prior to it now to go against them.

00:41:52.120 They should just stop, since they think they're innocent, and let the process play itself out.

00:41:58.480 These are good people that have been in the business for decades and have never had any

00:42:03.600 bad press about them and all the people they work with like them.

00:42:08.680 And so, is this true what they're saying in that allegation?

00:42:13.000 These are two bad guys.

00:42:15.160 This concerns the making of a film where there's sex scenes and there's, I guess, what is called

00:42:20.360 in Hollywood an intimacy coordinator?

00:42:22.460 They didn't have my English.

00:42:24.320 And then they went after him and told him, look, it's disgusting.

00:42:27.400 Now, I just say this is very juvenile.

00:42:29.200 When I first read that, and I knew I was going to be talking to you, I was wondering, I was trying

00:42:34.620 to picture like Ari Emanuel on set as an intimacy coordinator.

00:42:38.800 Is that a role, a job?

00:42:41.120 No, I mean, it is actually not a job.

00:42:44.740 I mean, that's actually an important role.

00:42:47.280 She felt that she was not being protected.

00:42:49.760 She complained, and then these people tried to go after her. 0.96

00:42:53.700 They should stop.

00:42:54.800 And there was still a crime that he was, and they should stop.

00:42:57.060 And what was your role?

00:42:58.320 Did you fire him?

00:42:59.320 I'll ride your bike.

00:43:01.580 And then we're good people.

00:43:02.980 Yeah.

00:43:03.940 All right.

00:43:04.860 I know you have a plane to get on.

00:43:06.340 Do you want to tell us where you're going, Manicham?

00:43:07.900 I'm going to the 50th anniversary of Esauhala.

00:43:10.300 Okay, I want you.

00:43:10.700 So that last portion is the smoking gun.

00:43:15.540 Don't forget that Justin Baldoni is alleging that he lost opportunities, that he was fired

00:43:19.480 from WME because I told you, the rumors were, and I told you to take it to the bank, that

00:43:24.820 Ryan Reynolds went in there and said he wanted him dropped from WME, and somebody at WME

00:43:29.700 who just outed himself made it happen.

00:43:31.840 And that's Ari Emanuel, the CEO of WME, is now bragging that he dropped them.

00:43:37.280 And he says his reason is because he's ride or die.

00:43:39.900 And I remember Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have already denied.

00:43:42.400 They said, oh, they had nothing to do with WME dropping him.

00:43:46.400 This just proves that they lied.

00:43:47.780 So Ari, in his maybe suffering from the same narcissistic condition as Ryan Reynolds, became 0.96

00:43:53.820 braggadocious.

00:43:54.700 He needed to be like, yeah, I'm so powerful, Justin Baldoni, Baldoni.

00:43:57.700 And he just said too much.

00:43:59.540 And this would have been why they would have realized that this tape was not a good idea

00:44:03.060 for their legal strategy.

00:44:04.140 Like, you can't play the victim and pretend you had nothing to do with him being fired

00:44:07.240 and then be like, yeah, I fired them because he's ride or die as soon as I found out about

00:44:10.880 it and they told me about it.

00:44:12.600 Yeah.

00:44:12.840 What you did directly led to the consequence of him losing a contract or of him being a

00:44:18.100 client of the biggest agency in Hollywood, which is WME.

00:44:22.780 So Ari Emanuel, like I said, even these billionaires just get real gutsy and they start acting like

00:44:27.780 gangsters.

00:44:28.220 He sounds like a gangster when he's talking, right?

00:44:29.940 He has no respect for Baldoni, no respect for the process, and basically is saying everyone

00:44:33.900 online needs to shut up. 0.87

00:44:35.360 And we're not exactly shutting up and we are following all of this.

00:44:38.320 And obviously, if you are Brian Friedman and you see that this has leaked, you're like,

00:44:42.480 yes, this is exactly what we needed.

00:44:44.540 We needed to hear this audio.

00:44:46.120 And there's now no way they can deny this claim.

00:44:48.380 There's no way that this claim gets denied that what they did hurt Justin Baldoni's career

00:44:53.540 and hurt his reputation because listen to what somebody with that much power is now saying.

00:44:59.180 And he's saying it like it's true about Justin Baldoni.

00:45:01.540 Like, I know them.

00:45:02.360 I've known for years they wouldn't lie about this.

00:45:04.440 And yeah, I don't like this guy, Baloney Baldoni.

00:45:08.040 Yeah, he's hurt in Hollywood.

00:45:09.260 He's blacklisted in Hollywood as effectively what something like that means.

00:45:13.180 All right, guys, want to get to talking, speaking to you about Seven Weeks Coffee because,

00:45:17.720 you know, I love them.

00:45:18.340 They're America's pro-life coffee company that's on a mission to fund the pro-life movement,

00:45:21.780 one cup of coffee at a time.

00:45:23.080 So if you're wondering why they're called Seven Weeks Coffee, it's because at Seven Weeks,

00:45:29.540 on an ultrasound.

00:45:35.100 They've raised over $750,000 for these centers and they have saved thousands of lives.

00:45:40.400 And I can tell you about the coffee because I'm very picky about what I drink.

00:45:43.300 Their coffee's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, and it's low-acid and it's organically

00:45:47.080 farmed.

00:46:21.720 We have to speak about this Zelensky meeting.

00:46:24.320 I don't know where you guys stand.

00:46:25.440 Can't wait to hear the chat.

00:46:26.860 I am just so over the never-ending wars.

00:46:30.120 I have been against Zelensky since day one.

00:46:32.080 We jumped out of Afghanistan after decades of sons and daughters being killed and with 1.00

00:46:37.220 nothing to show.

00:46:38.220 Nothing to show.

00:46:38.800 It was billions of dollars given to a region.

00:46:40.380 We have no idea what was happening.

00:46:41.520 It was just a money laundering operation.

00:46:43.700 What is the explanation for Afghanistan?

00:46:45.520 We've got nothing, literally.

00:46:46.940 What were they doing?

00:46:47.580 I know that some people were having to guard their poppy fields.

00:46:51.620 Was it just a way to create the opioid crisis?

00:46:54.180 Was this for big pharma?

00:46:55.800 We're never going to get any answers.

00:46:57.180 But literally two weeks after we got out of Afghanistan, we jumped into being involved

00:47:00.760 because the most important thing ever was for us to defend Ukrainian borders, even though

00:47:04.160 the majority of Americans cannot point out Michigan on a map.

00:47:06.980 Suddenly everybody was like, no, Ukraine is it.

00:47:09.440 And didn't really know the background of our involvement.

00:47:11.760 And the color revolution that we launched in 2014 in Ukraine, installing essentially someone

00:47:17.540 that was controlled by America, controlled by NATO to be a leader in that region.

00:47:23.660 We caused the regional issues there.

00:47:27.120 We did.

00:47:27.580 NATO, America.

00:47:29.120 We caused those issues dating back to 2014.

00:47:31.500 No matter what anybody tells you, that is the truth.

00:47:33.840 OK, we staged a coup. 0.63

00:47:35.500 And so Zelensky is just a person who is a puppet.

00:47:40.380 He is not a real leader in that region.

00:47:42.400 And he has taken billions from American taxpayers and watching him disrespect us by showing up.

00:47:50.200 He has done Vanity Fair.

00:47:52.000 He has done Vogue twice.

00:47:53.740 He has done the cover of Forbes.

00:47:55.800 He was on the Lex Friedman podcast.

00:47:58.080 OK, and every time he comes to the White House, he can't even be bothered to put on a suit.

00:48:03.760 So you can't afford groceries.

00:48:06.160 You can't afford to fill up your tank.

00:48:08.060 And he doesn't care.

00:48:09.320 He's just like, oh, well, you know what?

00:48:11.260 I'm just going to dress in my sweatpants, my military fatigues because he's a propagandist.

00:48:16.480 He's supposed to be selling to you like he's like on the front lines.

00:48:18.760 He thinks he's in a movie.

00:48:20.020 And that's because before becoming the president, he was literally just an actor.

00:48:24.520 He was like a Netflix actor, so to speak.

00:48:26.860 Right.

00:48:27.120 He was on a very popular television show in Ukraine where he played.

00:48:31.820 I'm not even kidding.

00:48:32.680 I'm going to talk about The Matrix.

00:48:34.100 He played an actor that went on to become president.

00:48:37.440 And then he was an actor who went on to become president.

00:48:39.840 You can't even believe these things.

00:48:41.020 It's true.

00:48:41.820 OK, and so that's his goal.

00:48:43.340 He's an actor.

00:48:44.880 He's supposed to wear outfits.

00:48:46.180 He's with tons of A-list celebrities.

00:48:48.040 You're in a war and thousands and thousands of men are dying and you're making time to do

00:48:53.220 the cover of Vogue twice.

00:48:56.300 Vanity Fair. 0.98

00:48:57.920 Guys, you have to realize how unbelievably ridiculous and wrong that is. 0.94

00:49:03.080 And so it has been nice. 0.92

00:49:04.580 So as soon as this guy gets out of the car, like he's just a buddy to Trump and he's just

00:49:09.460 going there to pick up some more money.

00:49:10.880 I mean, he actually got angry when someone suggested that we cut off these welfare checks

00:49:15.200 to Ukraine.

00:49:16.140 He's like, no, you pay for me.

00:49:18.900 You pay for me and do whatever I want.

00:49:21.520 This is the first time where he went to the White House and Trump looked down at him and

00:49:27.060 was like, what are you wearing?

00:49:28.620 I'm going to show you like he makes a little smart comment like, oh, OK, show some respect.

00:49:33.220 Take a listen.

00:49:33.840 That's good enough.

00:49:52.140 So Zelensky has always, to me, been giving Veruca salt.

00:49:56.440 Don't care how I want it now.

00:49:58.480 You know, don't care how I want you guys to get back to work.

00:50:01.280 You're going to keep funding my war, which even AI will tell you they never had a means

00:50:06.100 of winning.

00:50:06.600 This was just a never ending money laundering opportunity.

00:50:09.400 Get money out of the taxpayers' dollars.

00:50:11.100 And then they go, oh, we lost it.

00:50:13.600 Pentagon doesn't know where all of the billions of dollars went.

00:50:16.180 That's just what keeps happening all the time.

00:50:17.920 And I have been calling this out since 2022, OK, before it was cool or popular to recognize

00:50:23.680 that we were getting got like we were just getting got in the Ukrainian laundromat over

00:50:28.880 there.

00:50:29.320 Here's my tweet in 2022.

00:50:30.540 I literally wrote, I cannot stop laughing at how Zelensky always intentionally styles himself

00:50:36.240 like he just came out of the trenches as a recurring piece of propaganda.

00:50:39.840 He just has no time to put on a suit, you guys.

00:50:42.060 He's just so busy doing hero things with your money.

00:50:45.360 He can't be bothered to wear a suit.

00:50:46.680 There's no reason he can't put on a suit other than the fact that he's trying to sell

00:50:51.080 to the public that he is on the front lines.

00:50:53.660 It's a movie role for him.

00:50:55.440 And that drives me insane.

00:50:56.700 So you have to imagine how absolutely giddy I was when I saw this clip circulating from

00:51:01.660 C-SPAN of J.D. Vance, Trump and Zelensky in the Oval Office because Trump is looking

00:51:06.460 at him like you're like a bratty kid. 0.74

00:51:08.040 And you don't even have the respect.

00:51:09.680 Even you knew during Christmas time when you were going or it was your birthday and you

00:51:14.620 were going to see your grandparents, you knew they were going to write a check and they're

00:51:16.900 going to slip $100 or $20 in there.

00:51:19.480 You knew to come correct, right?

00:51:21.900 You knew to have some respect because your grandparents are going to give you a little bit

00:51:26.880 of money and you're going to act surprised that there's money in there.

00:51:29.560 You're going to say thank you.

00:51:31.020 That's not him.

00:51:32.140 That's not Zelensky.

00:51:33.040 He's Veruca Salt.

00:51:35.560 Don't care how I want it now.

00:51:37.980 I want the whole world.

00:51:39.560 I want to wear them like braids in my hair and I don't want to share them.

00:51:43.160 OK, that is Zelensky.

00:51:45.180 And so today, for the first time in four years, in my view, he got the treatment that he deserves

00:51:50.780 from the American people, not even the American people, the American representatives, J.D.

00:51:55.140 Vance and President Donald Trump.

00:51:57.040 Take a listen to this meeting.

00:51:58.120 I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.

00:52:02.900 Yes, but if you are not strong.

00:52:04.160 Mr. President, with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval

00:52:07.520 Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.

00:52:10.060 Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have

00:52:15.040 manpower problems.

00:52:16.420 You should be thanking the president for trying to bring it into this conflict.

00:52:19.660 Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?

00:52:22.620 I have been to come once.

00:52:24.920 I have actually I've actually watched and seen the stories and I know what happens is

00:52:29.960 you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President.

00:52:33.840 Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people into your military?

00:52:38.080 We have problems.

00:52:38.420 And do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of

00:52:42.520 America and attack the administration that is trying to trying to prevent the destruction 0.86

00:52:46.720 of your country?

00:52:47.180 A lot of a lot of questions.

00:52:48.760 Let's start from the beginning.

00:52:49.840 First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you.

00:52:54.840 But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.

00:53:00.440 God bless.

00:53:00.960 You don't know that.

00:53:01.580 God bless.

00:53:02.200 God bless.

00:53:03.140 You will not have the war. 0.92

00:53:04.420 Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

00:53:06.100 We're trying to solve a problem.

00:53:07.720 Don't tell us what we're going to feel.

00:53:09.320 I'm not telling you.

00:53:10.200 Because you're in no position to dictate that.

00:53:12.200 Remember this.

00:53:13.100 You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.

00:53:18.020 We're going to feel very good.

00:53:19.340 We're going to feel very good and very strong.

00:53:22.520 You will feel influence.

00:53:23.760 You're right now not in a very good position.

00:53:26.300 You've allowed yourself to be in a very bad position.

00:53:29.080 And he happens to be right about it.

00:53:30.220 From the very beginning of the war, Mr. President, I was in it.

00:53:33.740 You don't have the cards right now.

00:53:35.900 With us, you start having cards.

00:53:37.160 I'm not playing cards.

00:53:37.780 I'm wearing serious, Mr. President.

00:53:40.220 I'm wearing serious.

00:53:41.320 You're gambling with the lives of millions of people.

00:53:44.100 You're gambling with World War III.

00:53:46.680 You're gambling with World War III.

00:53:49.900 And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country.

00:53:54.600 It's back to you far more than a lot of people said they should have.

00:53:59.320 Have you said thank you once?

00:54:00.840 A lot of times.

00:54:02.020 No.

00:54:02.360 Even today.

00:54:03.140 Even today.

00:54:04.560 You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.

00:54:08.720 Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who's trying to save your country. 0.96

00:54:15.740 Zelensky needs a spanking. 1.00

00:54:18.920 He needs an old-fashioned spanking. 0.99

00:54:20.600 Go outside. 0.94

00:54:21.420 Get the switch.

00:54:22.180 Back when they used to do it in the day before we were coddling toddlers.

00:54:24.940 That is toddler behavior.

00:54:26.920 To, like, no—just wear a suit, you're going to ask for money.

00:54:30.940 Wear a suit.

00:54:32.420 Have some respect.

00:54:33.860 Do not litigate matters in front—

00:54:35.340 Could you just imagine the audacity of your child, like, speaking?

00:54:39.280 He is a welfare child.

00:54:40.900 He is ghetto, okay? 1.00

00:54:41.940 People, you know, I used to say ghetto, and the media would always lie about that. 0.98

00:54:44.960 Oh, Canada's called black people ghetto.

00:54:46.540 There are people all around the world who act ghetto, and he is a welfare child, okay? 0.98

00:54:53.480 Make no mistake.

00:54:55.020 I don't care where he's getting his military fatigues, which he apparently has never-ending supply of.

00:55:01.960 Him coming out with his handout and acting like a bratty child should be treated in that manner, okay?

00:55:07.140 That's how toddlers—you need to put them in their place and remind them, okay, adults are speaking.

00:55:11.780 You don't use that tone with me.

00:55:13.180 So I say to my son, you don't use that tone with me.

00:55:15.620 You don't speak to adults like that.

00:55:17.160 Why?

00:55:17.420 Because you're a child, and it's inappropriate.

00:55:20.120 And that's how I felt watching him.

00:55:21.420 I'm like, who are you, okay?

00:55:23.220 And he's lucky it wasn't me in there.

00:55:24.920 He's lucky it wasn't me in there, because I promise you, if I was in there and he was talking to me like that for taking money from the mouths of my family,

00:55:33.080 my family's out there, they can't put gas in their tank, and you're over here coming here in your sweatpants.

00:55:40.420 Oh, it would have been over.

00:55:42.020 It would have been over.

00:55:42.560 This is why I just do this from home, because I can't be out there dealing with men acting like that little man child that he is.

00:55:50.640 And so I was happy to see this.

00:55:52.000 And by the way, the best part was that Ukrainian's ambassador, who probably is just his babysitter,

00:55:57.280 who probably just has to write down the lines he's supposed to remember and saw this happening.

00:56:01.620 Look at her face as she's watching this correspondence in the Oval Office.

00:56:05.760 Dang, my child just do not know how to act.

00:56:18.520 I told him to just say these three things, and he's out of control right now, and we're about to lose all this money.

00:56:24.100 And I can't believe he couldn't just pull it together.

00:56:26.280 And I just have to call out the hero here, the reporter Brian Glenn of Real America's Voice,

00:56:32.100 because nothing has been more real and more American and more of our voice, more representative of our voice

00:56:39.840 than him straight up asking Zelensky about this little outfit that he's wearing.

00:56:44.620 Take a listen.

00:56:45.880 Second question for President Zelensky.

00:56:49.020 Why don't you wear a suit?

00:56:51.760 Why don't you wear a suit?

00:56:53.440 You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit.

00:56:58.080 Just want to see if you do own a suit.

00:57:00.140 Yeah, yeah, problems.

00:57:01.040 A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the American's office.

00:57:06.120 I will wear a costume after this war will finish.

00:57:09.740 Okay.

00:57:10.380 Yes.

00:57:11.020 Maybe something like yours, yes.

00:57:14.900 Maybe something better.

00:57:16.720 I don't know.

00:57:18.020 We will see.

00:57:19.040 Maybe something cheaper than, yeah.

00:57:21.380 Thank you.

00:57:21.900 Thank you.

00:57:23.520 And of course, like all the rest of the leaders, like Emmanuel Macron, what is his background in?

00:57:27.720 Drama club, theater.

00:57:28.900 And so for him, like I said, it is a costume that he's wearing now.

00:57:32.560 He gets up and he's like, how can I look like I'm a military guy that's playing a role?

00:57:36.500 This is why he hangs out with Sean Penn.

00:57:38.460 What he desperately wants to be is a Hollywood actor.

00:57:40.780 It's why he spends so much time with Hollywood actors.

00:57:42.800 He wants Ari Emanuel to be his agent.

00:57:45.000 Okay.

00:57:45.560 These are just the facts.

00:57:46.680 If you've been paying attention, these are the facts.

00:57:48.460 And I am over it.

00:57:49.480 I do not care.

00:57:50.980 Piers Morgan jumped into it and was like, well, Elon Musk doesn't wear a suit in the White House.

00:57:56.440 Guess what?

00:57:56.980 Elon Musk isn't taking billions of dollars away from the taxpayer.

00:58:00.740 Do you understand the difference here?

00:58:02.540 And listen, if you guys in Europe, because you guys love this war so much because you have an aging population that's still high on what I would refer to as Cold War propaganda. 0.60

00:58:13.240 Like, these are the kids, this boomer generation that grew up and like in the way that we had fire drills, you got to think about this.

00:58:19.640 They had nuclear drills.

00:58:22.420 Okay.

00:58:22.940 And the kids would get under their desks and they'd be like, oh, Russia is going to bomb you.

00:58:26.480 Russia is going to nuclear bomb us. 0.94

00:58:28.420 And if you get under your desk, this is going to save you. 0.99

00:58:30.780 Pointily ridiculous. 0.99

00:58:31.640 Completely crazy. 0.99

00:58:32.660 But obviously it's stuck with this generation because they are so ridiculous when on the topic of Russia. 0.99

00:58:37.660 It's like Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. 0.98

00:58:39.320 We got to be afraid.

00:58:39.780 I'm not afraid of Russia.

00:58:41.120 Okay.

00:58:41.480 I have an understanding that they have a smaller GDP than California.

00:58:45.920 This whole idea that they're trying to recreate the Soviet Union is a nonsense.

00:58:49.840 It is propaganda. 1.00

00:58:50.680 It is stupid. 1.00

00:58:51.800 It is beyond stupid. 1.00

00:58:52.980 It is literally just a way to keep people fearful. 1.00

00:58:55.880 It is CIA propaganda because what's really happening is we're expanding into their territory, guys.

00:59:01.180 Take a look at what the EU is.

00:59:02.420 Take a look at what NATO is.

00:59:03.500 It's military people that are on the border of Russia's country, not the other way around.

00:59:07.900 Russia is not in Mexico.

00:59:09.040 They're not in Canada.

00:59:09.840 I don't care.

00:59:10.660 I want nothing to do with this nonsense.

00:59:13.080 You think Putin bad?

00:59:14.400 You fund it.

00:59:15.620 You fund Zelensky.

00:59:16.880 You be his never-ending pocketbook.

00:59:19.280 You love that, Piers Morgan?

00:59:20.860 Do it.

00:59:21.600 You love that, United Kingdom?

00:59:23.300 Do it.

00:59:24.320 You think that this is just forever want to be his granddad?

00:59:29.160 Fine.

00:59:29.800 I have no issue with that.

00:59:31.160 But the American people are tired of it.

00:59:32.840 And I have to tell you, we are tired of being the pocketbook to the world, especially while our countries are in deterioration.

00:59:39.380 When we look around and we have all of these issues and we can't even get, like, you know, things to look nice, the streets to look clean everywhere.

00:59:48.740 Crime is rampant in inner cities.

00:59:50.900 And you keep telling us, I have to care about this little small man who doesn't have the decency to put on a suit.

00:59:55.280 Don't pass.

00:59:56.560 Miss me entirely with this.

00:59:58.820 So Trump then gave a statement on the meeting.

01:00:02.040 He tweeted this.

01:00:03.480 He tweeted, we had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today.

01:00:06.640 Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure.

01:00:10.980 It's amazing what comes out through emotion.

01:00:12.640 And I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for peace if America is involved because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations.

01:00:20.540 I don't want advantage.

01:00:21.340 I want peace.

01:00:21.940 He disrespected the United States of America and its cherished Oval Office.

01:00:26.200 He can come back when he is ready for peace.

01:00:27.880 Donald J. Trump.

01:00:29.140 And then Zelensky replied with this on Twitter about the visit.

01:00:33.100 Thank you, America.

01:00:34.180 Thank you for your support.

01:00:35.400 Thank you for your visit.

01:00:36.420 Thank you, POTUS, Congress and the American people.

01:00:38.280 Ukraine needs just and lasting peace.

01:00:40.300 And we are working exactly for that.

01:00:42.140 OK, so it looks like his ambassador took the phone and just said, listen, you're done.

01:00:47.460 You're done for today.

01:00:48.160 Go take a shower or sleep.

01:00:49.740 You fumbled the ball greatly.

01:00:51.940 All right, guys, before I read some of your comments and your opinions on this, the average person, say, is feeling the financial strain more than ever.

01:00:58.180 Expenses are up.

01:00:59.140 Wages are not keeping pace.

01:01:00.640 And many people are finding it nearly impossible to make ends meet with the little left over.

01:01:04.860 After covering the basics, it's no surprise that many are resorting to credit cards just to get by, often carrying high balances and interest rates in the 20s or even the 30s.

01:01:12.760 So if you are a homeowner and you are stuck in the cycle of mounting debt, you should call my friends at American Financing because their salary-based mortgage consultants are saving homeowners an average of $800 a month, helping you put your hard-earned money back where it belongs.

01:01:24.580 Plus, if you act now, you might even be able to skip your next mortgage payment.

01:01:31.640 It's time to break free from the stress of debt, talk to American Financing today, and take control of your financial future.

01:01:37.400 Call 800-795-1210.

01:01:39.460 Again, that's 800-795-1210.

01:01:41.720 Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.

01:01:44.940 Again, that's AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.

01:01:48.900 All right, let's hear what you guys are saying.

01:01:51.580 I see some people putting Ukrainian flags in the chat.

01:01:55.720 Rose writes, Retirement Day today after 35 years in Buffalo public school system.

01:02:00.900 I went out with a bang because I believe in truth.

01:02:03.140 You, Candice, always give us the truth.

01:02:04.460 Thank you so much, and congratulations.

01:02:06.700 I can only imagine the things that you have seen with 35 years of public school system.

01:02:10.360 Probably deterioration, by the way, speaking of things that are just moving downward in this country.

01:02:14.480 The education system has moved downward in the last 35 years.

01:02:17.700 And so thank you for your contributions and trying to correct the ship.

01:02:22.580 S. writes, says, Hi, Candice.

01:02:24.680 Missed the first part of this live but loved your take on Zelensky.

01:02:27.400 You inspired me to get closer to God as a Muslim and keep writing as I study dentistry.

01:02:32.120 I hope one day that I will write something that you enjoy.

01:02:35.060 I hope so, too.

01:02:36.060 And definitely, I just want you to know that I'm terrified of dentists.

01:02:39.680 It's like a thing.

01:02:40.700 I try not to go.

01:02:41.740 I literally just everything.

01:02:43.320 But I love orthodontists, which is weird.

01:02:45.880 I will spend so much time in an orthodontist chair.

01:02:48.320 I have to be kicked out of orthodontists because they're just like,

01:02:51.520 I don't know what you want me to do for you.

01:02:53.000 I just like it.

01:02:53.760 It's weird.

01:02:54.840 Joseph writes, are Taylor Swift fans are Swifties?

01:02:58.520 Are we can't?

01:02:59.100 If Taylor Swift fans are Swifties, are we candies?

01:03:02.420 That's a very good question.

01:03:04.300 Are you candies?

01:03:05.640 You might be candies.

01:03:06.860 I'm going to have to get back to you on that, Joseph.

01:03:08.780 Brittany writes, congratulations on 4 million subs.

01:03:11.020 Yes, guys, we did it.

01:03:12.240 4 million subs.

01:03:13.820 I'm so excited about that.

01:03:15.080 We started this in mid-June of last year and we had 1.3 million and now we're at 4 million.

01:03:20.280 And I am so grateful to all of you guys for making this happen.

01:03:23.880 That was, I mean, that was, it wasn't even a goal that we had and we absolutely smashed that anyways.

01:03:28.940 And that's the first time I've ever had 4 million subs on YouTube.

01:03:31.540 Never even had that on my prior channel at a prior network.

01:03:35.340 Brittany writes, that was what you said.

01:03:38.320 Congrats on 4 million subs and I can't wait to get sucked into another web of craziness starting on Monday.

01:03:42.540 Thank you for making all of us conspiracy theorists, quote unquote.

01:03:45.020 Christina writes, Candice, what do you think is going on with the stringing along of the release of the Epstein files?

01:03:50.500 I'm a bit disappointed and I find it slightly alarming of the promises being made and the promises not being kept.

01:03:55.840 I gave my take on this yesterday, Christina.

01:03:57.700 If you go back and watch it in the comments or I think we actually covered it, but we're never going to see it because too many powerful people are involved in it.

01:04:05.020 And also it implicates Israel and we never see any files that could potentially implicate Israel.

01:04:10.380 That's my take on it.

01:04:11.220 So put it out of your mind.

01:04:12.200 It's never going to happen.

01:04:12.940 And Hilda writes, deep down, we always knew that we were being lied to.

01:04:16.420 Now we have access to everything, giving them no room for lies. 0.96

01:04:19.240 You do an amazing job at making them look like clowns. 0.96

01:04:21.340 Facts. 0.78

01:04:22.220 Congratulations on 4 million.

01:04:23.780 Yeah.

01:04:24.000 And this is why they hate me.

01:04:24.880 This is why someone as creepy and weird as EJ writes these sorts of articles, because now we have a way to get around the mainstream media.

01:04:33.620 And I'm giving you the documents.

01:04:35.160 You can go fact check this yourself.

01:04:36.680 I don't consider myself to be an authority on this stuff.

01:04:38.960 I consider you guys to be my colleagues and we're all researching and we're learning together.

01:04:43.380 And if we get something wrong, we can pivot and we can say, OK, that was wrong.
