Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right, guys, happy Friday. It looks like the President Macron timer has expired. Color me shocked. Homie sent a big bad 100 page legal threat with do not publicize scribbled on it. And it looks like he wasn't exactly being sincere. Plus, in the event that you missed my Instagram series yesterday, I got a major scoop on the Justin Baldoni versus Blake Lively situation.
00:00:21.480 There's this woman on Instagram that is calling this our Roman Empire, and it kind of is right now. Long story short, the unexpected villain in all of this is Ryan Reynolds, allegedly. And I've received more intel to that effect overnight. So I will be sharing that with you. But first, I want to discuss the CEO of The Daily Wire. Jeremy Boring appears to be casting a little bit of shade on his former employee, Brett Cooper. At least that's the way the Internet is reading it. And that's certainly the way that I read it, too.
00:00:47.000 So what exactly is going on? I'm going to tell you what I know. All that coming up on Candace Owens.
00:00:51.620 All right. So people that are old and toddlers and women that are over the pregnancy 25 week mark, all savages. I'm telling you, just tell the truth all the time. That's where I'm at right now. That's what I'm feeling right now.
00:01:18.900 And I want to talk about this Brett Cooper thing because it perturbed me a tiny bit. And I'm going to be very honest to you guys about my investment in this right at the top and just tell you exactly what's gone on in the background, because it's becoming pretty obvious to me that there seems to be an effort, a concerted effort to try to sort of destroy Brett Cooper's reputation before she's even begun her new independent venture.
00:01:39.500 So I'll tell you who I was contacted by. Anyways, just to recap, obviously, it's all over YouTube. It's literally everywhere. It's even now on Joe Rogan.
00:01:47.140 The Brett Cooper saga made its way to Joe Rogan last night. I have a clip that a clip of that for you.
00:01:52.300 But we covered this at the end of last year because it was a major announcement.
00:01:55.480 Brett Cooper announced that she was leaving the comment section, leaving the Daily Wire.
00:01:59.880 It was a rather strained video that she gave at the end of last year.
00:02:03.180 It kind of seemed like she was fighting back tears. And I basically gave my assessment.
00:02:07.220 I thought the company, in my view, actually handled it as professionally as it could have plausibly been handled, given the firestorm of Internet innuendo that was leading up to that moment.
00:02:16.400 People suggesting that she was being pushed out, people suggesting that there were issues.
00:02:20.620 They were trying to create a clone of Brett Cooper.
00:02:22.920 But it was obvious, as I said to the public, that there was at least some level of drama which involved her former, now former best friend and maid of honor in her wedding earlier that year who had replaced her.
00:02:34.840 A young woman who was formerly her producer named Reagan Conrad.
00:02:39.020 OK, Brett Cooper stopped following the girl.
00:02:41.440 This is relevant to what I'm going to say in a little bit.
00:02:43.040 She stopped following her.
00:02:44.480 She deleted her across all her socials, plus deleted her from the wedding pictures that she had posted.
00:02:49.560 So there's no debate here.
00:02:52.000 They are not friends, obviously.
00:02:53.520 OK, fine.
00:02:54.260 Your friendships and again, not the biggest deal.
00:02:56.640 So then faster than anyone could have possibly predicted, they just rolled out the new comment section without Brett Cooper.
00:03:03.020 And it seemed like Reagan very much was behaving identical to Brett.
00:03:06.600 And it was not good.
00:03:07.380 The market just rejected the show.
00:03:09.480 And I'm not talking about like, hmm, maybe give it some time and we'll warm up to it.
00:03:13.200 I mean, I am talking a firm 90 percent viewership dip that just seems to get worse every single week.
00:03:19.760 So I'm just showing you really quickly here.
00:03:21.380 These were the views when Brett Cooper was the host of the comment section.
00:03:24.080 You can see she was basically, I would say, averaging half a million views.
00:03:28.400 And then she was hitting one million views or two million views on certain videos.
00:03:32.400 And here are the views today.
00:03:33.920 Here is the snapshot today.
00:03:35.160 So, you know, high end would be 54,000 views is the highest I can see on this screenshot.
00:03:42.500 Low end, 19,000 views.
00:03:44.260 That was posted 16 hours ago.
00:03:45.900 So maybe we're averaging 30,000 views per an episode.
00:03:49.600 OK, that's that's a huge dip.
00:03:51.760 As I said, market has responded.
00:03:53.500 The market has entered.
00:03:54.340 The market has said no.
00:03:56.300 And not everything that you put out as a company works out.
00:04:01.880 And that's just the true thing.
00:04:02.840 You take a lot of risk and sometimes that risk does not pay off.
00:04:06.100 For an example, when I was at The Daily Wire, I was doing these cooking show segments and people did not like it.
00:04:11.720 I thought my food was good.
00:04:12.760 People did not want to see Candace cooking.
00:04:14.180 They just want to see Candace spilling the tea.
00:04:15.820 They want to see Candace talking about a variety of topics.
00:04:17.560 Fine.
00:04:17.860 We just dumped it.
00:04:18.620 Your job as a CEO when you're leading a company is you pivot.
00:04:21.700 Right.
00:04:21.920 So you try something, bring it to the market.
00:04:23.640 The market responds.
00:04:24.920 You either expand it because you got it right or you shut it down when you get it wrong.
00:04:28.880 More than anything in a leadership position, your role is to simply adapt to the market.
00:04:34.680 Okay.
00:04:34.980 Not to blame the market and tell the market that it's wrong.
00:04:37.440 Just to simply adapt.
00:04:38.840 So fast forward to this past month and I start getting some really strange specific calls from journalists.
00:04:44.680 Okay.
00:04:44.900 So first, my PR person is informed at the end of last year, and this is exactly what was told to us, you know, in January, there's going to be a big puff piece.
00:04:52.900 This actually, this leak to us came from the Hollywood Reporter.
00:04:56.100 It was a reporter at the Hollywood Reporter who was speaking about another reporter who was being put on what he described as a puff piece on Ben Shapiro.
00:05:03.580 Why are we getting this phone call?
00:05:04.940 Because, Candace, you're going to be included in it.
00:05:06.720 Why am I being included in this?
00:05:07.580 It doesn't make any sense.
00:05:08.560 Whatever.
00:05:08.880 We get a weird phone call asking me questions about Brett Cooper.
00:05:12.000 And I'm just like, I don't want nothing to do.
00:05:14.340 I literally want nothing to do with this.
00:05:15.660 Okay.
00:05:16.440 So on January 13th, they ran this article, Hollywood Reporter, how Ben Shapiro conquered the Magaverse.
00:05:24.200 Okay.
00:05:25.560 All right, Seth Abramovich.
00:05:27.980 Okay.
00:05:28.320 But buried in this article, first, of course, mandatory paragraph, stab at Candace Owen, she's Hitler, Adolf Hitler, second coming of, and then suddenly like a little dig on Brett Cooper, kind of trying to maybe throw a little mud.
00:05:42.600 Now, this came from the reporter, but he wrote, conservative social media users theorized that Cooper's Israel Hamas opinions got her fired.
00:05:52.480 But Cooper's camp dismisses this.
00:05:53.980 Now, no one theorized that.
00:05:56.340 If they did, it was such a small pocket of the internet.
00:05:59.000 Maybe you saw a tweet or two.
00:06:00.560 Nobody in that entire explosion of Brett Cooper leaving the Daily Wire was speaking about Israel and Hamas.
00:06:05.240 Like, that's like not, was not the theme on the internet.
00:06:08.700 So I found that to be extraordinarily strange that I was then being asked about that, about her Groyper tweet, a Groyper's tweeting about her.
00:06:16.320 I'm like, what do we even, she's a 23-year-old girl.
00:06:18.860 She's got nothing to do with this.
00:06:20.180 And why are you trying to combine us in this piece?
00:06:23.340 It was weird.
00:06:24.240 Okay.
00:06:24.520 Whatever.
00:06:25.120 Let it go.
00:06:26.200 I gave one comment.
00:06:27.480 Like, I basically don't know what you're talking about.
00:06:29.000 Four days later, I get contacted again.
00:06:31.060 Four days later, I'm contacted by the spectator.
00:06:34.620 Similar angle, trying to push this idea that Brett Cooper might be anti-Semitic like Candace.
00:06:40.480 Now, it's a spectator.
00:06:41.520 So we know whoever's leaking this to the spectator's gossip column is obviously a boomer.
00:06:46.740 She is Gen Z, TikToker, famous, okay?
00:06:50.260 Like, this is not making it in the circles.
00:06:52.180 This is like old school PR.
00:06:54.740 Let's contact my contact at the spectator and get them to run this about Brett Cooper.
00:06:59.740 And I refuse to participate in this because I just, it's just so grimy to me to have a girl whose life is just beginning.
00:07:07.700 She just got married.
00:07:08.440 She's 23 years old.
00:07:09.720 No matter what happened, okay, let her move on in her life.
00:07:13.380 Why are we trying to throw dirt on her name for something that we know is so objectively not true?
00:07:19.700 Here is the title of the article that's just talking about how, like, in your face this was.
00:07:23.660 It was entitled, What's Going On Between Brett Cooper and Candace Owens?
00:07:27.740 The answer's nothing.
00:07:29.340 There's nothing.
00:07:30.020 But again, they're just trying to essentially dirty her name, realizing Candace is dealing with the entire ADL attacking her and calling her anti-Semitic.
00:07:39.360 Wouldn't it be great if we just, like, threw a little bit of that on Brett Cooper, too, so before she even starts her show?
00:07:45.000 And what was really strange about it, it was the same exact pattern.
00:07:48.200 So when I left Daily Wire, all of these journalists were writing basically about my Twitter likes.
00:07:54.520 They were like, Candace liked a post saying that Jews drink Christian blood.
00:07:59.140 Obviously, it was not true.
00:07:59.960 I was liking a post that had more in that, and then the person made a joke, are you drunk on Christian blood, Rabbi Shmuley?
00:08:06.540 Like, that's the context.
00:08:07.700 But then all of these accounts start sharing that.
00:08:09.360 Candace thinks Jews drink Christian blood.
00:08:11.320 So it was the same thing that was now being done to Brett Cooper.
00:08:13.840 It was hyper-focusing on a like.
00:08:16.360 Because Brett Cooper, who likes all of my posts, because we work together, I like all of her posts.
00:08:20.880 I like all of Matt Walsh's posts.
00:08:22.180 I like Michael.
00:08:22.480 If it comes across, I just like it.
00:08:24.900 And she liked a post, which was a wrap-up, like an annual wrap-up of everything that we did.
00:08:30.260 And in that post, buried in it, was me speaking about my view on Palestine and Israel.
00:08:35.440 So they're taking a like and translating it into, Brett Cooper is an anti-Semite, okay?
00:08:40.380 And this is what's in that Spectator article.
00:08:41.740 Look at this.
00:08:42.620 Cooper liking Owens' post raised questions.
00:08:46.300 Does Cooper agree with Owens' take on the war in Gaza?
00:08:48.880 Could this be tied to her departure from the Daily Wire?
00:08:51.040 And does she plan to collaborate with Owens moving forward?
00:08:53.960 And Cooper responds, Brett responds, says,
00:08:55.640 I like many of my friends' Instagram posts because we're friends.
00:08:58.320 I'm unsure why liking my friends' end-of-year post a month ago is international news.
00:09:03.920 But this reporter keeps pushing.
00:09:05.620 He asks whether Cooper's like of Owens' post was a reflection of a change in her stance on Gaza
00:09:10.960 or an act of post-wire solidarity.
00:09:14.660 She again says, when a friend's post comes across my feed, I like them as friends do.
00:09:19.440 So this really gives me the ick.
00:09:21.860 I'm just saying this.
00:09:22.720 This really gives me the ick.
00:09:24.060 Later on in the article, a moment comes.
00:09:26.400 And again, nobody saw this article, A, because it was behind a paywall.
00:09:28.860 I only saw it because they asked me to participate in it.
00:09:31.240 And I'll tell you what I said to the article, by the way.
00:09:34.620 Like, this is my exact quote.
00:09:36.020 I said, Candace Owens is too pregnant to comment.
00:09:39.480 I'm not getting involved in this.
00:09:40.780 It's petty.
00:09:41.560 It should be beneath everybody.
00:09:42.780 Whoever's orchestrating this from behind, it's ridiculous.
00:09:44.900 But then it moved on to kind of this weird moment where Jeremy gives a comment and he
00:09:50.840 says, a year ago, Brett told me if she were to ever leave the comment section that Reagan
00:09:57.160 should be her replacement.
00:09:58.740 Daily Wire, the CEO of Jeremy Boring, Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boring told Cockburn, six
00:10:04.700 months later, Brett said she wanted to leave.
00:10:06.320 And I realized that she was right.
00:10:08.060 Reagan, in addition to being the producer of comment section for two years, is a huge talent
00:10:12.500 and a great choice to carry on the show.
00:10:15.080 But look at Cooper's response to this.
00:10:17.260 She responds and says, I did not select Reagan.
00:10:20.720 She have two comments that are completely at odds with one another.
00:10:23.380 She is not saying much, but she's saying she's disputing what he has said here.
00:10:27.180 And it just sort of dies on the internet because I'm not sharing this article.
00:10:30.840 I don't care about this article.
00:10:32.160 And I think it's weird.
00:10:33.120 I think the timing of this article is weird.
00:10:34.440 Okay.
00:10:35.680 This brings us now to today and or this week, rather, is what I should say.
00:10:40.600 And this video that starts circulating.
00:10:43.940 So now you have four days later, January 17th, Brett directly disputed Jeremy's narrative
00:10:48.440 in a piece.
00:10:49.040 Nobody saw it.
00:10:49.740 It's behind a paywall, whatever.
00:10:50.880 Gen Z doesn't read this stuff anyways.
00:10:52.540 Fast forward to this week and you have a moderator on a Twitter community.
00:10:57.080 I didn't even know that you could have a Twitter community.
00:10:58.820 I didn't even know that Twitter had this function.
00:11:00.700 And the community is called Daily Wire Fan Club.
00:11:03.720 And they release this.
00:11:05.000 They release, it is extremely upsetting and distressing that Brett Cooper can't be bothered
00:11:13.220 to defend Reagan Conrad, especially since Brett recommended her as a replacement for
00:11:18.500 the host of the comment section to Jeremy Boring.
00:11:20.760 I only hope Brett eventually releases a statement of some kind to combat the vicious rumors.
00:11:26.040 Now, parking aside, first off, this is very clearly an account that's pretending to be
00:11:30.040 a man.
00:11:30.360 No man starts a tweet with, it's extremely upsetting.
00:11:34.740 You're talking about a 23-year-old girl, okay?
00:11:36.820 If you are the grown adult man that is pictured in that photo, you need to get a life.
00:11:42.280 Extremely upsetting.
00:11:43.160 Oh my gosh.
00:11:44.220 And now I see there's a new narrative that is being launched, which is Brett Cooper is
00:11:48.240 a bad friend.
00:11:49.140 And I'm going, what's happening here?
00:11:51.020 So I watched this video and apparently, I'll give you the context here, Jeremy Boring, the
00:11:56.180 CEO, co-CEO of Daily Wire, released a commentary.
00:11:58.300 And I think it is very fair to categorize it as extraordinarily passive-aggressive, okay?
00:12:03.660 So I'm watching and I'm going, is it just me or does this just seem off?
00:12:06.700 Like something here is just off.
00:12:08.720 And it turns out the entire internet read it exactly that way.
00:12:13.000 And it's now everywhere and people are commenting on how off it really is.
00:12:16.960 And so to tee this up, I don't know why he's answering questions.
00:12:21.000 This could be, we used to do this thing like sort of you get to ask us questions, but it's
00:12:25.600 usually for the host, but I don't know the context of if, whether this is an all access
00:12:29.600 live, but somebody asked him a question about mean comments and mean feedback that Reagan
00:12:35.860 Conrad was getting on her show.
00:12:38.640 And, you know, the show is not taking off sort of a thing.
00:12:41.160 So he answers it.
00:12:42.220 And I'm paraphrasing here by saying, well, actually he explicitly says Reagan is amazing.
00:12:46.240 And also the comment section was not Brett's.
00:12:49.820 Essentially, we created the show at the Daily Wire.
00:12:52.740 Brett is tremendously talented.
00:12:53.980 He says she's talented.
00:12:55.260 She's great.
00:12:55.780 She made the show her own, but also it was successful because of our marketing department,
00:13:00.620 essentially.
00:13:01.100 Like it's not just Brett, it's ours.
00:13:02.980 And by the way, Reagan produced the show and also helped to write it.
00:13:06.660 Okay.
00:13:06.920 So I'm now going to cut to this YouTuber named The Quartering who goes through what it is
00:13:12.840 exactly that Jeremy says in this video so that you can just assess.
00:13:16.760 Like, I think honestly, The Quartering, every thought that I had in my brain watching it,
00:13:20.920 he kind of just said it.
00:13:22.420 Here you go.
00:13:22.960 Here's the first thing.
00:13:23.880 What Reagan hasn't done is taking acting classes to be more like Brett Cooper.
00:13:27.380 That is just completely absurd.
00:13:29.740 And it's hurt my feelings a little bit that Brett hasn't done more to defend her friend.
00:13:35.060 Whoa.
00:13:36.580 Whoa.
00:13:37.820 So now, you know, guy worth a hundred million dollars with a billion dollar company is saying
00:13:45.880 that Brett Cooper hurt his feelings because she hasn't defended Reagan, who is not Jeremy
00:13:56.520 Boring, is not related to Jeremy Boring, has nothing to do with Jeremy.
00:14:02.380 Why is his feelings hurt?
00:14:03.800 He's like trying to guilt her into making some sort of statement promoting her old show, which
00:14:10.380 she has absolutely no obligation to do.
00:14:13.460 And also, they're not friends.
00:14:17.880 And so the language of making it seem like they are presently friends and you would therefore
00:14:22.220 be, you know, I know, the whole world knows that they're not friends.
00:14:25.660 So why would you be hurt by someone not promoting a show of their former friend?
00:14:32.580 And also, I'm going to ask the question, can she even speak out about this?
00:14:36.720 Because it certainly doesn't look like it.
00:14:38.800 And, you know, NDAs are industry standard.
00:14:41.220 So that also is another question.
00:14:44.700 Then there kind of gets to this portion where he's speaking about acting classes.
00:14:49.300 And I will just let quartering take this part away as well.
00:14:53.300 Reagan's enormously talented.
00:14:54.820 She's been an enormous part of building the comments section for the last two years.
00:14:59.500 And I've never sent her to an acting lesson.
00:15:02.460 She's never asked me to send her to an acting lesson.
00:15:04.380 I've never asked her to do anything to be more like Brett.
00:15:07.120 If anything, you know, we've told her make the show as much your own as you can.
00:15:11.220 While maintaining the format.
00:15:12.840 But she is like Brett because they are friends and collaborators,
00:15:18.300 have been collaborators on the show.
00:15:20.200 It's actually ironic because I did send Brett to various kinds of lessons as a performer.
00:15:24.540 Oh, Shade?
00:15:28.200 Shade?
00:15:30.080 Uh-oh.
00:15:31.420 Former.
00:15:31.940 Not acting lessons.
00:15:33.100 Brett's a terrific actress and always, the entire time I've known her, she has been.
00:15:37.080 As will be evident when you see the Pendragon cycle.
00:15:39.380 But I did send her to dancing lessons and singing lessons in preparation for her role at Snow White.
00:15:46.300 I sent her to dialogue coaching sessions to help her with her role in the Pendragon cycle.
00:15:51.920 And that's good.
00:15:53.480 That's like...
00:15:54.380 I feel like this is kind of a backhanded non-plement.
00:16:04.300 He's basically saying like, well, I had to do all this stuff for Brett Cooper.
00:16:11.680 But he's like couching it by...
00:16:14.040 It's like a compliment sandwich.
00:16:15.280 He's saying, oh, yeah, she's just so great.
00:16:19.020 Well, I did send her to dancing lessons, vocal lessons, dialogue lessons, this lesson, that lesson.
00:16:25.140 So real.
00:16:25.660 But she's fantastic.
00:16:27.320 This is classic passive-aggressive compliment sandwich boss talk.
00:16:34.200 That's how I read it.
00:16:36.520 It just felt very backhanded.
00:16:38.420 And I'm not sure why.
00:16:40.540 I don't know why this is happening right now.
00:16:42.440 Why people can't just move on and have an amicable split.
00:16:46.600 Or if it's not amicable, just move on.
00:16:48.500 Again, she's 23 years old.
00:16:51.020 And once again, in that statement, he says friends.
00:16:54.140 You know, they're friends.
00:16:55.540 That's why they act alike.
00:16:56.840 They are not friends.
00:16:57.860 He knows they're not friends.
00:16:59.020 Everyone knows they're not friends.
00:17:00.320 So what is the purpose of answering a question and saying something?
00:17:04.720 Maybe, here, let me be charitable.
00:17:06.240 Maybe he truly is the only person in the world who does not know that the two of these girls had a tremendous falling out that the entire internet reported on due to her taking over the show.
00:17:18.220 Like, maybe he's the only person who does not know that Brett unfollowed Reagan and deleted it all.
00:17:23.680 Maybe he's the only guy and he's really just being like, wow, I think there's no friends right now.
00:17:27.720 Maybe that is true.
00:17:28.920 But I don't think that's true.
00:17:31.080 I think he knows they're not friends.
00:17:32.260 And he's saying this in a way that I just can't comprehend what is the actual purpose of this.
00:17:37.640 And it does feel like a backhanded compliment towards a 23-year-old girl.
00:17:41.800 And then he sort of gets into, like, why the audience doesn't accept Reagan.
00:17:48.840 Like, why the show is failing.
00:17:50.180 And here's what he had to say.
00:17:51.260 And the audience, whenever Reagan would guest host the comment section, the audience loved her.
00:17:58.240 The comments were almost universally positive.
00:18:00.220 In fact, many of the things that they're now criticizing her for in the comments were the things that they liked most about her.
00:18:05.360 Well, that's because she wasn't replacing her then.
00:18:10.900 She was simply filling in.
00:18:13.660 I do like this, guys.
00:18:14.760 Like, very common sense.
00:18:15.960 Like, everyone, yeah, it's a little different if I'm like, hey, Brett's going to fill in for me.
00:18:21.020 And I was like, oh, my God, great.
00:18:21.740 I love to see that they're friends.
00:18:22.680 And then, like, afterwards, like, just kidding.
00:18:24.300 Brett was pretending to be her friend.
00:18:25.440 And she stabbed Candace in the throat.
00:18:26.900 And now she's got her job.
00:18:28.380 Like, there's obviously a difference in how the audience is going to receive that.
00:18:33.520 That is, there's an emotional understanding here that I think is perhaps being missed.
00:18:38.680 But now it sort of becomes, like, the audience fault.
00:18:41.920 And this is how he concludes that thought about the audience suddenly not liking this show anymore.
00:18:48.060 When they didn't know that Brett was leaving the show.
00:18:50.400 And for that reason, I know that most of these attacks on Reagan are completely unfair.
00:18:54.940 They're completely disingenuous.
00:18:57.920 People aren't really raising these criticisms.
00:19:00.000 They're buying.
00:19:00.600 They're either helping to craft or buying into a narrative which has been crafted by people who want the Daily Wire to fail and want Reagan to fail in the role.
00:19:09.500 And both will be disappointed because Reagan will not fail in this role.
00:19:13.320 And the Daily Wire will not fail.
00:19:16.660 We continue to grow and we continue to succeed.
00:19:20.320 And business is hard.
00:19:21.340 And we'll go through it.
00:19:22.460 You're always going to go through a little bit of a downturn in audience after a very popular host leaves a show.
00:19:30.640 So, to me, this is a tremendous lowering of the office of the CEO.
00:19:34.740 It seems like he's engaging in high school drama and theatrics and doing it in a way in which he's trying to throw some tar on Brett Cooper's name.
00:19:42.820 But simultaneously saying to the audience, like, you know, accusing them of wanting to see the Daily Wire fail.
00:19:47.420 It's like, no, they just don't like the show, man.
00:19:49.480 Like, it's that easy.
00:19:50.740 They don't like the new host of the show.
00:19:52.600 It doesn't mean nobody's rooting against – I've never even heard or met this girl, Reagan Conrad.
00:19:57.840 I just don't think the audience likes the show.
00:20:00.200 I think they appreciated Brett in that role.
00:20:02.120 And I don't think you can just blame the markets and say, well, you're going to see – like, we are going to be successful.
00:20:08.380 Like, there seems to be this, like, underlying anger and upset there that the audience doesn't like it.
00:20:12.380 And it's literally – we saw this meme circulating on the internet.
00:20:15.760 It's this meme for the comments section.
00:20:17.880 Jeremy Boring shoots the comments section with Brett Cooper, then turns around and goes, how could Brett Cooper do this?
00:20:23.500 How could she do this to us?
00:20:25.020 He says, okay, totally fine.
00:20:27.360 And if you think – or if you constantly see yourself as, like, the victim of this, as opposed to just taking it on the chin and saying, they don't like this, let me create something else, it's not going to change.
00:20:37.660 You know what I mean?
00:20:38.140 It's just – it's not going to change.
00:20:39.420 And the comments section pertaining to Jeremy's comments on the comments section reveal that.
00:20:44.720 These are just – by the way, the top posts in order under the quarterings video.
00:20:48.800 This is not interrupted whatsoever.
00:20:51.300 So the guy who made her sign an NDA wants her to speak about something she probably isn't even allowed to speak about.
00:20:56.300 Oh, yeah, I'm sure that's not entrapment or anything like that.
00:20:59.260 These people are vile.
00:21:00.140 Are they trying to destroy their company and credibility because that's what it looks like?
00:21:03.320 Next person.
00:21:04.260 None of that explains why Brett unfollowed Reagan and Jeremy on all social media and why she deleted the made-up honor photos.
00:21:09.260 Like, no one's being fooled by this.
00:21:11.600 He's upset that the comments section was a cash cow with Brett and he didn't realize how much value she was actually worth.
00:21:17.160 The only reason the DW didn't start an entirely new channel for Reagan was that they didn't want to throw away the 4.7 million subs and start over.
00:21:23.340 It was purely out of greed and a numbers decision, in my opinion.
00:21:27.100 I think Jeremy is confusing his feelings with his wallet since Reagan barely draws 10% of the views that Brett did.
00:21:33.040 A good CEO doesn't go around talking about his feelings.
00:21:36.460 Why does he publicly call out Brett?
00:21:37.800 Can he not just call her up and explain the problem and ask her to say something?
00:21:41.020 This attempt at public shaming to force her is disgusting.
00:21:44.100 Jeremy Boring 100% tells his employees that we're a family here right before he throws them under the bus that Ben is driving.
00:21:49.560 The fact that Brett hasn't said anything and that she unfollowed Reagan on social media along with everything else tells me that there were definitely hurt feelings.
00:21:57.200 Last three here.
00:21:58.340 When you quit a job, it's not your job to get involved in the former employer's issues.
00:22:02.900 That's correct.
00:22:04.000 Jeremy Boring once again attacking ex-staff while holding them in the strict NDAs.
00:22:08.440 It shows you who he is.
00:22:10.340 Lastly, the DW did Reagan a disservice by trying to insert her into Brett's show instead of launching Reagan's own show.
00:22:16.040 And I really think that if they had paid attention to the comments and what people were saying as all this was going on, as opposed to just thinking that, well, you could just do this and replace, they wouldn't be in the situation in the first place.
00:22:27.920 But it's just, like I said, tremendously unfair, ridiculous to assume that people are rooting against you or anybody's coordinating.
00:22:33.440 I don't know the quartering.
00:22:34.780 Joe Rogan is speaking about this yesterday with Warren Smith, like the guy who got fired for being sensible about the trans issue.
00:22:41.260 He's been on the Daily Wire.
00:22:42.340 He's following this saga and telling Joe Rogan about it, and they're questioning the business decisions at the Daily Wire.
00:22:50.080 There's no conspiracy here.
00:22:51.600 This is a big thing that happened.
00:22:53.080 People have a right to respond to it.
00:22:54.540 People have a right to be concerned about it.
00:22:56.780 And if you're going to carry on blaming other people, and especially blaming a 23-year-old girl, it's not going to be a good look.
00:23:04.500 And to whoever it is that's behind the scenes trying to orchestrate these pieces about Brett, it's nasty business.
00:23:12.020 She's a young girl.
00:23:12.960 You've got to be able to break up sometimes and not have drama.
00:23:15.560 And I'm not implying that that's Daily Wire.
00:23:17.240 I'm telling you exactly who I got contacted by, Hollywood Reporter and The Spectator.
00:23:21.100 I am just saying that whoever is doing it, it's dirty business, and it's not helping the businesses that you think that you're helping.
00:23:25.600 It's certainly not helping Reagan's show by trying to throw mud on Brett Cooper, who hasn't even come back out yet.
00:23:31.400 Ladies and gentlemen, that said, we will include a link to Brett Cooper's new YouTube channel under this episode because I want to support her.
00:23:37.420 I resent that she's going through this.
00:23:39.860 I really do resent that she's going through this as such a young girl, and she's so great, and she's so kind, and she's so classy, and she has handled this in the best possible way.
00:23:48.000 Certainly not in a way that I would handle it at 25-plus weeks pregnant.
00:23:50.840 So we will leave it at that before we get into some Blake Lively stuff, which I'm so excited about.
00:23:56.080 But first, I want to tell you guys some great news because we obviously love pre-born.
00:24:01.820 So there is the abortion pill reversal treatment, which provides women with a second opportunity to choose.
00:24:07.260 It is bringing babies back to life.
00:24:08.920 When you join forces with pre-born ministries, you empower women to reverse the curse.
00:24:12.760 What you might not be aware of is that even though Roe is overturned and abortion has been greatly restricted in many states,
00:24:17.820 the abortion pill has superseded surgical abortions, accounting now for over 60% of all abortions.
00:24:23.420 Pre-born's network clinics are on standby for women in their darkest hour.
00:24:26.660 They meet them with God's love and free services to help them choose life.
00:24:29.840 Through ultrasounds and the abortion pill reversal protocol, pre-born has rescued over 300,000 lives.
00:24:35.400 You can start this new year right by supporting life and by donating to pre-born today.
00:24:39.140 One ultrasound is just $28, and $140 will help rescue five babies.
00:24:43.180 Instead of a donate, you can just dial pound 250 and say the key word baby.
00:24:47.780 Again, that's pound 250 baby.
00:24:49.640 Or donate securely at preborn.com slash Candace.
00:24:52.640 That's preborn.com slash Candace.
00:24:55.300 Also to American Financing, great company.

00:25:37.680 Again, that's AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.
00:25:40.800 Okay.
00:25:42.120 So I was supposed to take it off yesterday.
00:25:43.480 Then I realized that I kind of just gave everybody a free podcast on my Instagram accounts
00:25:46.780 because I was just, oh, I kept sharing the cat meme.
00:25:50.320 Like, not the cat meme.
00:25:51.420 It's the cat emoji.
00:25:52.420 We're like, that's my favorite emoji where I'm like, oh, and this has been me following
00:25:56.280 the Blake Lively saga.
00:25:57.280 And so I'm so sorry for those of you guys that don't like culture.
00:25:59.460 My show is just a mix of everything.
00:26:02.060 I'm into politics.
00:26:03.200 I'm into culture.
00:26:04.000 One day we're doing a deep dive on Kamala Harris.
00:26:06.400 Next week we'll be into Emmanuel Macron.
00:26:08.800 But I got to just, this Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively thing is seizing me.
00:26:12.340 And so a woman said today on Instagram, it is our Roman empire.
00:26:15.680 And this is it.
00:26:16.260 It's our Roman empire right now.
00:26:17.380 So forgive me.
00:26:18.580 I know I think I said two days ago I wasn't going to cover this again, but then I got intel.
00:26:21.840 It was me.
00:26:22.320 I got amazing intel.
00:26:24.040 Okay.
00:26:24.540 So first let's cut to this headline, this little update in the Daily Mail.
00:26:27.380 And the Daily Mail is saying that Ryan Reynolds is in a desperate bid to save his image amid
00:26:33.440 his wife's Blake Lively's $400 million legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
00:26:38.200 So he is now concerned and buried in this article.
00:26:40.680 It tells us that insiders claim, ready?
00:26:43.500 But it was Reynolds who pushed for the shock request for a gag order because they just now
00:26:49.440 are requesting a gag order.
00:26:50.620 And this is a desperate bid to stave off any disruption to all of his upcoming projects
00:26:55.420 and the staff at his company because he runs a company called Maximum Effort Productions.
00:27:00.660 And for the sake of his wife's well-being, well, isn't that timely?
00:27:04.580 The quotation given to the Daily Mail was,
00:27:07.000 Ryan was a driving force in requesting a gag order for Justin's attorney.
00:27:11.060 The insider told DailyMail.com exclusively,
00:27:14.060 Ryan's production company has a lot of projects in the works right now.
00:27:16.640 Ryan would be devastated if this impacted these, as it is unfair to his co-workers
00:27:20.980 and the people who work in his company.
00:27:23.380 Okay, Ryan.
00:27:25.640 Okay, Ryan.
00:27:26.580 We're starting to see you for who you are.
00:27:28.440 Rather hilariously, apparently there was some medium who went on the show,
00:27:32.320 I should have dug up the clip for you guys to watch,
00:27:33.940 and predicted the day before yesterday that this entire Blake Lively thing was going to shift around
00:27:40.720 and it was going to be about Ryan Reynolds.
00:27:42.460 It was going to be bad for Ryan Reynolds.
00:27:43.780 She told this to Drew Pinsky.
00:27:45.000 And I did not know this.
00:27:47.000 And when I got my tip yesterday, I just started sharing it because I was going,
00:27:50.460 this is the only thing that makes sense.
00:27:51.940 The person who wrote to me said that they worked on the set of It Ends With Us, okay?
00:27:57.520 And that the villain in this entire story is not Blake Lively.
00:28:01.240 It's not Justin Baldoni, but it is Ryan Reynolds.
00:28:05.420 And now I look at him and I just go, how did I not see?
00:28:08.420 Look, he puts Botox in his forehead.
00:28:09.840 Of course, he's a madman.
00:28:11.340 Of course, obviously.
00:28:13.180 So essentially what they said is this is what happened.
00:28:16.180 They said that you have on set these things that are called dailies,
00:28:20.960 which is essentially all of the footage that was shot in one day.
00:28:23.400 They said one day, Ryan Reynolds comes to set.
00:28:25.940 This is the backstory.
00:28:26.800 Comes to set, reviews the dailies, the raw footage, whatever that was shot today,
00:28:31.800 reviews the script.
00:28:33.200 And then he goes into his trailer, allegedly.
00:28:36.780 Don't gag order or sue me, Ryan Reynolds.
00:28:39.100 Okay, I don't want to be involved in a little drama.
00:28:40.380 I'm just telling my audience what I was told.
00:28:42.460 He goes into Blake Lively's trailer and they have an argument.
00:28:45.360 All of the production assistants overheard the argument, okay?
00:28:48.740 Now, what was at the root of that argument?
00:28:50.080 We don't know, but we can assume it had something to do with what he saw in these dailies,
00:28:54.880 what he read in the script.
00:28:55.860 Who even knows what led him to even visit on this day?
00:28:58.900 And the person says that from that day forward, he started involving himself,
00:29:02.980 but he basically became a chaperone for her on set.
00:29:05.900 He was there basically every day involved in the projects, wanting to rewrite lines.
00:29:10.080 And suddenly, Ryan Reynolds was trying to wrangle this project from Justin Baldoni, okay?
00:29:14.740 So that is, first and foremost, positively fascinating because I didn't even consider
00:29:18.320 the angle that there had been some sort of a fight that took place between Blake Lively
00:29:22.200 and Ryan Reynolds that switched things.
00:29:24.100 But it makes sense when you look at the lawsuit because Justin Baldoni is like,
00:29:28.680 we offered her an intimacy coordinator and she was not okay with it.
00:29:31.940 Then suddenly in her complaint, which I am now referring to as Ryan Reynolds' complaint,
00:29:36.300 she's like, there was no intimacy coordinator.
00:29:38.400 And he's like, she was totally fine and joking with me about this stuff.
00:29:42.260 And then all of a sudden in the complaint, he's like, she's like, why is he riffing at all?
00:29:46.700 Like, we have to just stay in character at all times, which is a bizarre thing for any actor
00:29:50.920 or actress to say because riffing is a part of the job.
00:29:53.840 Like, you know, I only did drama club when I was in like eighth grade.
00:29:58.380 I think I was a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz.
00:30:00.660 But even I knew that you got to riff because you got to be able to riff.
00:30:02.980 That's the whole point.
00:30:03.560 Something could go wrong and you got to be able to be on your feet.
00:30:05.740 So it was oddly particular for her to say he was not in character or this or whatever it was.
00:30:10.500 But when you add that she was okay with everything until a certain day, it starts to make sense.
00:30:15.900 So let's go through some of these elements.
00:30:18.520 So the person then told me that what followed was essentially Justin Baldoni being completely
00:30:25.820 sideswept by Ryan, just trying to peacock him and show him that, like, it doesn't matter
00:30:31.580 who you are.
00:30:32.360 Like, I'm the A-lister.
00:30:33.600 I am Ryan Reynolds.
00:30:36.400 I have A-list friends.
00:30:37.680 I'm friends with Taylor Swift.
00:30:39.060 I am friends with Hugh Jackman.
00:30:40.500 I'm the person that plays Deadpool.
00:30:42.280 And that is when, and this person was a strong contact, so this isn't like a little bit of
00:30:47.660 tea, this is like, I felt good receiving this information from another person who said that
00:30:52.880 it was Ryan Reynolds who marched into WME, okay, which is Endeavor.
00:30:57.540 It's also called Endeavor.
00:30:58.500 It is the biggest talent agency in the world.
00:31:01.240 Every celebrity is under there from Taylor Swift to Justin Baldoni and said, it's us or it's
00:31:07.960 him.
00:31:08.460 Like, you're going to drop Justin Baldoni or you're going to lose all of us.
00:31:11.740 And obviously, that has a little bit of weight at Endeavor if you're friends with Taylor
00:31:18.020 Swift.
00:31:18.560 So here's the article of what happened next.
00:31:20.100 You can see Justin Baldoni gets dropped from WME in wake of Blake Lively's sexual harassment
00:31:25.600 allegations.
00:31:26.380 That person is telling me that it was 100% Ryan that orchestrated that dropping, and it
00:31:32.160 was an ultimatum that he delivered to their door.
00:31:34.440 So Ryan felt like he won.
00:31:36.160 He had Justin Baldoni, as we showed you, in the basement at his own premiere event, even
00:31:40.260 though it was his movie that his production company brought the rights from, Justin Baldoni
00:31:45.020 in a basement with his wife and his family celebrating it next to Dasani water, making
00:31:49.180 the best of it.
00:31:50.220 And now he gets dropped.
00:31:51.700 The civil complaint is filed.
00:31:52.900 And Ryan is like, we won.
00:31:54.960 What Ryan didn't realize, okay, or didn't calculate for rather, was that Justin Baldoni shares that
00:32:02.600 production company, Wayfair Studios, with a guy who is a billionaire.
00:32:06.700 Okay, so Taylor Swift might have influence, but money is money, okay?
00:32:11.060 And this guy made a ton of money in the 1990s.
00:32:15.220 He's a very tall guy, by the way.
00:32:16.500 I think Justin Baldoni is 6'2".
00:32:18.140 And this guy, Stephen Swarovski, is basically just living out the rest of his life trying
00:32:24.000 to do good things, right?
00:32:25.940 So this is an article.
00:32:26.980 He lives in Chicago.
00:32:28.100 And it says, the city's newest billionaire doesn't plan to die one.
00:32:31.160 He does not want to die a billionaire.
00:32:32.200 His plan for Steve Sarwitz and his wife is to just give away $1 billion in charity during
00:32:38.200 their lifetimes.
00:32:38.900 That's a lot.
00:32:39.700 He's so rich that his new goal is to give away a billion dollars.
00:32:43.680 Like, that's what we're all aspiring to.
00:32:45.700 And this guy, like I said, is just Dr. Do Good.
00:32:49.580 He has no horse in this race.
00:32:51.540 He wanted to establish Wayfair Studios to do and to bring stories to life that have really
00:32:56.820 good messages.
00:32:57.560 And I haven't read this book.
00:32:58.680 It ends with us.
00:32:59.140 But apparently, there's a really good message.
00:33:00.460 And apparently, what I am told is Justin Baldoni truly is kind of one of these bleeding heart
00:33:04.720 libs, as is this guy, Steve Swarovski.
00:33:07.420 And they just wanted to, like, do good things.
00:33:10.140 And they're, like, true feminists, you know?
00:33:12.180 Like, how can we bring stories to life that tell the story of women's struggles, okay?
00:33:17.740 Maybe not someone that would invite me over for tea, but whatever.
00:33:21.560 So this guy, for no reason, because of Ryan Reynolds, gets blacklisted from Hollywood.
00:33:27.360 Because that's how it works.
00:33:28.000 When Endeavor says, you're out, you're out, okay?
00:33:30.180 When Taylor Swift says, you're out, you're out.
00:33:31.800 I'm not saying she did, but I'm saying that I'm sure her name meant something with, like,
00:33:36.980 we're going to leave.
00:33:37.980 And Taylor Swift is the godmother to all of our children.
00:33:41.520 And this guy's not taking that sitting down.
00:33:44.080 And so what I'm hearing is that he was the one that was sort of like, hey, like, this
00:33:48.180 is not okay.
00:33:49.140 That all of this is happening because of the ego or because of the jealousy of Ryan Reynolds.
00:33:53.800 Like, a small man who got jealous, came to set, got jealous, and is essentially trying
00:33:58.700 to destroy the movie, trying to destroy this company, and getting an actual good company
00:34:04.200 blacklisted from Hollywood using his A-list contacts.
00:34:07.860 Now, here's what's fascinating.
00:34:09.540 This is not the first time when you then start recognizing that this could have been a Ryan
00:34:13.660 Reynolds personality issue that Ryan Reynolds has been accused of being controlling before.
00:34:18.400 Let's remember, he dates women that are, like, about a decade younger than him, marries women
00:34:22.140 that are younger than him.
00:34:23.100 When he met Scarlett Johansson, who he was married to first, she was 20, he was 28 or
00:34:27.720 29, and then they got married.
00:34:29.980 And nobody really knew why they got divorced, but the closest that Scarlett Johansson ever
00:34:33.980 came to suggesting why they got divorced was for Elle magazine when she was talking.
00:34:40.420 She said this, and I'm going to show you.
00:34:42.760 It says, I'm sorry, talking to Cosmopolitan, Scar Jo, without naming any names, said the logistics
00:34:47.580 of being with one another as an actor are challenging.
00:34:51.100 There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people's
00:34:55.520 careers are going at the same rate, or even if one person is more successful than the other,
00:34:59.920 that also proves challenging.
00:35:01.200 There may be a competitive thing.
00:35:03.220 And the writer includes, that's all the explanation you're ever going to get from Scar Jo on this
00:35:07.520 one, but since she's currently with an art dealer, we assume she's not talking about
00:35:11.240 her current relationship, and most likely about the three years that she spent married to
00:35:15.560 Ryan Reynolds, who is, as you may know, an actor.
00:35:19.020 Okay.
00:35:19.620 So that's her speaking about her relationship, why it maybe fell apart.
00:35:24.380 And when you start to realize that all this is going on in the background with Ryan Reynolds,
00:35:29.480 and he's at set every day, you start realizing just how over-involved he was in a film that
00:35:34.240 had nothing to do with him.
00:35:35.600 So we knew that he had a blow-up.
00:35:37.840 They had a blow-up.
00:35:38.700 Ryan Reynolds allegedly screamed in Justin Baldoni's face at his apartment.
00:35:42.080 Justin Baldoni said he was humiliated, that he had never been screamed at like that in
00:35:45.980 his entire life.
00:35:47.480 And despite this, Ryan Reynolds injected himself and brought his A-list friends in the form of
00:35:54.240 Hugh Jackman, Wolverine, to set to create promos, okay, promos for It Ends With Us.
00:36:01.440 But in this promo, he's very clearly taking a jab at Justin Baldoni.
00:36:06.140 Listen to what he says.
00:36:07.980 Oh, God.
00:36:09.900 This is cool.
00:36:11.280 It's not every day the husband gets to interview his wife's love interest in a film.
00:36:15.080 It's kind of crazy.
00:36:15.840 I don't remember seeing this on the schedule.
00:36:18.000 Let's dive in.
00:36:18.500 Shall we?
00:36:19.260 So I saw you posing in a photo with Mrs. Reynolds, and I'm sorry, what do you call her?
00:36:23.340 Do you guys have a nickname or something?
00:36:24.780 Okay, no.
00:36:25.260 Just so it's Mrs.
00:36:25.980 Okay.
00:36:28.200 No.
00:36:29.080 It's not every day a guy gets to interview the love interest of his best friend's wife,
00:36:33.540 and the guy trying to replace Ryan as a husband and me as his best mate.
00:36:38.260 Holy s**t.
00:36:39.060 What the hell are you doing messing with my best buddy's wife?
00:36:41.420 Sir, I have no idea what's happening at all today.
00:36:44.840 So I'm starting to think, you guys, now that we know, okay, think about what he is saying
00:36:51.720 there.
00:36:52.080 Is somebody trying to replace my best friend's husband's wife, right?
00:36:56.980 My best friend's wife, okay?
00:36:58.600 He's basically like shooting this with Brandon Sklenner, because that's not Justin Baldoni,
00:37:03.140 but he knows Justin Baldoni is, what, probably five feet away.
00:37:05.360 It's Justin Baldoni's film.
00:37:06.540 And he's writing this script, and I don't think it's really a script, okay?
00:37:10.380 I think Ryan Reynolds is peacocking, bringing in an A-lister, saying, you can't say no to
00:37:14.560 this.
00:37:14.940 We're promoting your movie, and this is an A-lister that's willing to do it.
00:37:18.420 But he's actually taking a stab at what likely went on behind the scenes here.
00:37:23.180 Ryan felt, for whatever reason, intimidated about the relationship that maybe he thought
00:37:29.640 was budding between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively.
00:37:33.040 And he's saying that in the script, and he has a distinctive pattern.
00:37:36.120 Ryan Reynolds, this is his thing.
00:37:37.480 He's a Taylor Swift of the movie industry.
00:37:39.100 When he gets upset with somebody, he puts them into a script.
00:37:44.120 And sometimes it's people that he's working with, actors on set, when he gets mad or he
00:37:47.340 gets angry, he steps out of character and goes off script and uses the character to diminish
00:37:54.740 the actor.
00:37:56.000 How do we know this?
00:37:56.780 Because T.J. Miller, and they made up after this, I will say that, spoke about this on
00:38:01.520 Adam Carolla's podcast.
00:38:02.700 He was saying he would never work with Ryan Reynolds, basically saying he was an absolute
00:38:05.840 jerk and that they had this weird moment where Ryan Reynolds used his character Deadpool
00:38:10.240 to basically strip him down in real life.
00:38:13.260 Take a listen to what T.J.
00:38:14.400 Miller had to say.
00:38:15.660 We had a really weird moment.
00:38:19.160 Really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, let's do one more take.
00:38:24.280 And everyone's like, OK.
00:38:25.340 And I was like, yeah, I'm fine.
00:38:26.260 And then as the character, he was like horrifically mean to me, but to me, as if I'm Weasel.
00:38:35.820 So he was like, you know, it's great about you, Weasel.
00:38:37.940 You're not the star, but you just, you know, you do just enough exposition that it's funny
00:38:42.700 and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.
00:38:45.000 So he's riffing.
00:38:45.820 How much riffing was done?
00:38:47.800 A lot.
00:38:48.380 And he's a great improviser.
00:38:50.060 And how much of it made the cut?
00:38:51.920 A lot of it.
00:38:52.560 And then the stuff that they kept and you see in the reel, it's a lot of it is what
00:38:56.820 he's doing.
00:38:57.420 I'm riffing.
00:38:58.120 Also, the two, the writers were so incredible.
00:39:01.600 But what went south in that moment?
00:39:03.720 Did you react to it?
00:39:05.140 I just kind of listened and thought it was weird.
00:39:07.820 And then I got off stage because then they finally were like, cut.
00:39:11.360 And then I got off stage and I walked over and the whole crew was acting weird.
00:39:16.020 And then I went up to Kate and I was like, that was weird, right?
00:39:18.720 And she was like, of course it was weird.
00:39:20.220 It was insane.
00:39:21.220 It was insane.
00:39:22.220 And everybody was looking at each other like, what the f*** is he doing?
00:39:26.240 So this is Ryan Reynolds' thing.
00:39:28.840 This is how he offsets his emotion.
00:39:31.900 He channels it through his characters.
00:39:33.680 Like, look, think again, what did he say in that scene?
00:39:36.560 Oh, it's not every day you get to interview the guy that's trying to hit on your wife
00:39:40.120 or whatever it is.
00:39:41.440 And he's using Brandon Sklenor.
00:39:42.900 But this isn't about Brandon Sklenor.
00:39:44.440 This is about how Ryan feels about Justin Baldoni.
00:39:48.280 That is what I believe is happening.
00:39:50.100 And you see this again.
00:39:50.980 I know that we already showed you this, but I'm going to show you now because now that
00:39:54.140 we have the context that Ryan was the one that was sent on a spiral because of something
00:39:58.880 he saw potentially in the dailies.
00:40:00.660 Again, this is all allegedly now rewatch that nice pool scene while we know in the lawsuit
00:40:05.920 that he included a bit about, you know, his wife just gave birth and she was losing weight
00:40:10.120 and basically making fun of the fact that Justin Baldoni is a feminist and has a feminist
00:40:15.500 podcast.
00:40:16.060 Now watch that nice pool scene where he decided to include a stab at Justin Baldoni.
00:40:22.820 Who are you?
00:40:24.220 Oh, I'm Deadpool.
00:40:25.660 And I guess you're Deadpool, too.
00:40:27.560 But in here, everybody calls me nice pool.
00:40:29.800 Oh, my goodness.
00:40:30.420 Wait till you see Lady Pool.
00:40:31.320 She is gorgeous.
00:40:32.840 She just had a baby, too.
00:40:34.000 And can't even tell.
00:40:35.920 I don't think you're supposed to say that.
00:40:37.400 That's OK.
00:40:38.940 I identify as a feminist.
00:40:40.580 Right.
00:40:40.940 And there's more.
00:40:43.540 There's a lot of stuff that didn't make the movie where he is more explicit in making
00:40:46.720 fun of Justin Baldoni.
00:40:47.940 People are noticing that he even did his hair like Justin Baldoni.
00:40:51.220 The short hair that he has right now is not his usual hair.
00:40:53.720 That was for the film.
00:40:54.900 He usually has it up in a ponytail and it's long.
00:40:57.280 So this was very much meant to be like, I am just now outwardly making fun of you and
00:41:01.560 saying everything that I want to say while pretending that I'm in character or promoting
00:41:05.240 even your own movie.
00:41:06.420 And this pattern of him being controlling, even going from ScarJo, somebody mentioned
00:41:11.560 to me, actually, I think it was Brett Cooper pointed out to me and I shared it on my stories
00:41:15.500 that the director of Deadpool, the first director of Deadpool is this guy named Tim Miller.
00:41:22.000 And he stepped down from the job.
00:41:23.940 And the quotation that he that he gave was essentially, according to him, the issue was
00:41:29.480 Ryan Reynolds.
00:41:30.780 He left the franchise because him and Ryan Reynolds could not get along.
00:41:33.680 And he's explicitly says, according to him, that Ryan Reynolds wanted to, quote unquote,
00:41:38.020 control the franchise.
00:41:40.380 So Ryan Reynolds has control issues.
00:41:42.840 And something that happened on that set triggered him to feel that he was not in control of his
00:41:47.780 relationships.
00:41:48.500 Now, again, this is me speculating based off all of the evidence in the picture that is
00:41:52.260 now being painted that basically Ryan has been on one big rant and wants to destroy Justin
00:41:57.980 Baldoni.
00:41:58.460 Now, I'm beginning to ask myself because I just got contacted and I wish the show could have
00:42:02.780 just been two hours later.
00:42:03.920 But somebody else who is very connected to this reached out and said, Candace, you're
00:42:08.360 90 percent there.
00:42:10.020 You're just missing one thing.
00:42:12.280 And I'm beginning to wonder and listen, full speculation, no proof for him to go that crazy.
00:42:18.840 Did something happen between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively?
00:42:22.520 That's my question.
00:42:23.220 Something happened between the two of them.
00:42:24.620 And then he came to set or maybe he saw maybe it's just a text message.
00:42:28.380 I'm not saying they had an affair.
00:42:29.700 It was a text message.
00:42:30.620 He's going through a phone, logged onto her computer to order some Uber.
00:42:35.240 I don't know.
00:42:35.960 Or Uber Eats.
00:42:37.180 He was just ordering some Chipotle and he saw a free text coming.
00:42:39.460 I don't know.
00:42:39.860 And he's like, you know what?
00:42:41.040 Go check on what's going on.
00:42:42.160 Then he goes and gets the dailies and he sees a little bit too much chemistry.
00:42:46.360 And he's starting to think, oh, you know what?
00:42:48.020 That's kind of funny.
00:42:48.660 That's how I start all my relationships.
00:42:50.660 I am in movies like I was with ScarJo and then I start dating them and I marry them.
00:42:54.120 I sleep with them.
00:42:54.900 And then I did this again with Blake Lively and like, and she's done that too.
00:42:58.180 She also has a history of dating people who she co-stars with from Gossip Girl.
00:43:01.480 And he just goes crazy.
00:43:02.780 And maybe he starts thinking they're having an affair or something's going on.
00:43:06.460 And he just goes full bore.
00:43:08.780 But there's a 10% thing that this person is watching that I'm missing and I'm going to get it.
00:43:13.520 And I will have it to you guys by Monday.
00:43:14.880 I'm going to, I'm putting the pieces together, but something happened on set.
00:43:18.720 Okay.
00:43:18.940 This is, this is, this story is now coming into focus and Ryan Reynolds is the one that
00:43:23.620 is pushing this.
00:43:24.380 Ryan Reynolds is pretending that he cares now that people riff when it's all he does on
00:43:28.420 the set of Deadpool.
00:43:29.100 Now he's like, stick to the script, Blake Lively, no caressing, no touching.
00:43:33.160 And he's essentially using this lawsuit or attempted to use this, not even supposed to be a lawsuit,
00:43:39.560 whatever he filed in LA, the complaint that he filed as a way to just destroy a man that
00:43:45.400 he's clearly extremely jealous of.
00:43:48.360 I think that is very clear.
00:43:49.220 He is extremely jealous.
00:43:50.440 Justin Baldoni, you do not show up on set, insert yourself.
00:43:53.480 I mean, how weird I was saying, I was saying to my producer, like when we were doing documentaries,
00:43:57.220 how weird if like my husband showed up and just was like, we're re I'm rewriting the entire
00:44:01.160 script and I'm going to start promoting it.
00:44:02.880 That doesn't register.
00:44:04.080 That's not a secure man.
00:44:05.160 That's an insecure man.
00:44:06.640 That is a man that is spiraling.
00:44:09.040 And it is plausible that Blake Lively was given an ultimatum, just like Endeavor allegedly
00:44:13.940 was given an ultimatum.
00:44:15.320 And she had to go along with this to save her marriage.
00:44:17.220 She just had her fourth kid, I think, four kids.
00:44:20.480 And, you know, your husband's going crazy.
00:44:23.940 Maybe Blake Lively is like, I just got to go along with this to save my marriage.
00:44:26.440 I don't know.
00:44:27.000 And I'm also not trying to present her as a victim because she's played a part in this.
00:44:30.920 And maybe it got out of her hands.
00:44:32.600 It got out of her control.
00:44:33.500 And now it's fully very much in the lawyer's control.
00:44:36.800 And it is not going to end well because it's already just getting worse every single day.
00:44:41.480 And my understanding is that she's not kind.
00:44:43.620 She's not a kind person from insiders.
00:44:46.260 She has never been particularly presented as a very kind person.
00:44:49.500 But I think this rage, it seems to me that Ryan Reynolds has been on a rage since the day
00:44:56.240 that he allegedly picked up those dailies and he has not stopped.
00:44:58.840 And there's something that Justin Baldoni did or that he believes or perceives, if he thinks
00:45:04.920 his wife likes Justin Baldoni, that set him on this insecure quest.
00:45:09.060 So like I said, I will have it for you on Monday.
00:45:12.360 I'm fishing it out.
00:45:13.360 I'm darn close.
00:45:14.700 Don't send a gag order to me, Ryan Reynolds, because I don't, I'm not going to abide by it.
00:45:20.120 I just feel like I just don't do it.
00:45:21.600 Just don't do it.
00:45:22.200 Okay.
00:45:22.940 Or I'll pretend I didn't get it.
00:45:24.140 I'll just jump away from the server.
00:45:25.740 Or I'll jump into a bush.
00:45:27.020 So don't do that.
00:45:28.000 Just leave me alone.
00:45:29.140 Okay.
00:45:29.840 Speaking of which, speaking of servers, speaking of the people who knock on your doors and say
00:45:35.720 you're being sued, you would be, you guys would be thrilled or shocked.
00:45:39.840 I'm sure you're shocked.
00:45:40.620 To discover that Emmanuel Macron and Mr. Mr. and Mr. Macron sent me that legal letter.
00:45:46.760 A hundred pages of not answering any questions, but saying that like me covering the story
00:45:53.520 is causing her emotional distress, but also don't publicize this.
00:45:57.540 We don't want you to take this public, Candace, but know that we are the president of a country
00:46:01.420 that you don't live in.
00:46:02.860 So you better take us seriously.
00:46:03.960 What?
00:46:04.480 Like, welcome to America?
00:46:06.320 I don't know.
00:46:06.900 Cultural differences?
00:46:07.780 You're an idiot for having sent this.
00:46:09.840 Okay.
00:46:10.300 Whoever your advisors are, fire them.
00:46:12.540 This was dumb, Emmanuel.
00:46:14.380 Stupid.
00:46:15.220 Okay.
00:46:16.020 Literally, who's ever presented that idea and let that go through is the dumbest person
00:46:20.800 in your inner circle.
00:46:21.600 Well, now, oh, maybe people thought it was crazy.
00:46:24.860 Now everyone now realizes something here is real.
00:46:27.280 Okay.
00:46:27.800 Because this is not what sitting presidents do.
00:46:29.960 So we gave them a full week and 21 questions.
00:46:33.360 Very simple questions.
00:46:34.720 Pull some of these questions up.
00:46:36.220 These are yes, majority yes or no questions that we gave them back.
00:46:40.860 You know, we're not trying to lie on you.
00:46:42.540 So can you answer some basic questions?
00:46:44.900 Like, did Brigitte Macron ever use the name Veronique?
00:46:49.080 That's question number five.
00:46:50.100 Might be asking, hmm, I wonder why Candace is asking that very specific question.
00:46:53.900 Yeah, you're going to want to know.
00:46:55.280 Can you identify each child in the Amiens family photograph and their current whereabouts?
00:47:01.600 Did Brigitte Macron physically give birth to three children?
00:47:05.100 That is a, if you think someone's transgender, if someone is saying that, Candace, I think you're
00:47:09.920 really a man and somebody says, I will shut down this podcast and I won't say that anymore.
00:47:14.740 If you answer this question, did Candace physically give birth to three children?
00:47:17.680 Yes.
00:47:18.660 I physically gave birth.
00:47:19.600 Here are the hospitals.
00:47:20.760 Here are the pictures.
00:47:22.300 Yes.
00:47:22.960 So apologize to me publicly because I actually, they can't do that.
00:47:25.960 They can't answer these questions.
00:47:27.040 Okay.
00:47:27.320 And so I'm happy to tell you guys that beginning next Friday, I hope we make that deadline.
00:47:34.100 It looks good.
00:47:35.780 It looks good.
00:47:36.360 It looks promising.
00:47:37.340 Beginning next Friday, we will begin our Brigitte Macron series.
00:47:40.740 I'm happy to show this to you guys.
00:47:42.700 The series will be entitled Becoming Brigitte, an investigative series by Candace Owens.
00:47:50.260 Yay!
00:47:51.940 I'm so excited.
00:47:53.700 I just can't hide it.
00:47:55.300 Whoop, whoop!
00:47:56.360 We are so back.
00:47:58.020 Trump's in office, Emmanuel Macron.
00:48:00.140 Okay?
00:48:01.260 You stop that.
00:48:02.100 Whatever you think you're doing, you stop that.
00:48:03.600 I gave you 21 questions and you couldn't answer.
00:48:05.460 I was like 50 cent, which by the way, speaking of which, this is amazing.
00:48:08.840 And this is like Emmanuel Macron.
00:48:09.920 Too bad he didn't see this clip.
00:48:11.220 But, you know, Andrew Schultz and the boys over on the flagrant podcast, I actually don't
00:48:14.980 know them.
00:48:15.240 I have not met them.
00:48:16.080 But somebody sent me this clip from their show recently.
00:48:19.180 Basically, they're saying that if there's two people you don't mess around with, it's
00:48:22.820 Candace Owens and 50 Cent.
00:48:24.620 Okay?
00:48:24.960 Take a listen.
00:48:26.360 50 Cent and Candace Owens gets a hold of you?
00:48:29.200 Any one of them.
00:48:30.240 You're done.
00:48:30.760 50 or Candace, you don't want no problems, bro.
00:48:33.540 I know Candace tweeted a little video of us saying we don't want no problems.
00:48:39.040 Just the fact that she tweeted a video of us, I was like.
00:48:41.220 That was f***ing awesome.
00:48:42.620 You get the notification.
00:48:43.840 I said, no!
00:48:46.580 No!
00:48:47.620 Not Candace!
00:48:51.780 Not Candace, you gotta play around with.
00:48:53.600 Don't play around with Candace.
00:48:54.520 You don't play around with 50 Cent.
00:48:55.560 Simple as that.
00:48:56.260 That s*** scared me, bro.
00:48:58.980 That's just scary, bro.
00:49:01.080 Listen, Macron, you really, I don't know what you were doing inside of this letter, but
00:49:06.640 you were playing around.
00:49:07.640 I think you were playing around.
00:49:08.700 I don't think you ever were going to bring forth this lawsuit in Tennessee.
00:49:11.640 I don't even know how that would work, bringing forth a lawsuit in Tennessee, thinking that
00:49:13.960 I have to abide by the harassment that you are giving to journalists who are trying to
00:49:16.960 present this story.
00:49:17.520 A lot of suspicious circumstances surrounding it.
00:49:22.620 America is not France.
00:49:23.780 And let me tell you, the South of America is especially not France.
00:49:27.700 As I said, we don't like the kind of people who are trying to mainstream the idea that it's
00:49:32.960 normal for 14-year-old boys to be macked on by their 39, 40-year-old teachers.
00:49:40.160 So it's just not a thing down here.
00:49:42.820 And I'm looking forward to it now that the whole world is paying attention.
00:49:46.160 I'm looking forward to the women, especially because we just become detectives.
00:49:49.640 We become the CIA.
00:49:50.560 Essentially, the show is now the CIA, the women that are going to send me so much of what
00:49:54.640 they found.
00:49:55.180 I'm so excited for this part because it's way, it's crazier than the Kamala Chronicles.
00:50:00.840 It's somehow crazier than the Kamala Chronicles.
00:50:03.340 And it involves America.
00:50:04.940 It involves the world.
00:50:05.740 And I know that your real fear is that the English-speaking world has not been aware of
00:50:10.280 what's going on in France.
00:50:11.480 And now the English-speaking world is very much going to be going on, aware of what's
00:50:14.980 going on in France.
00:50:15.640 And they're going to be shocked.
00:50:16.820 And how it even loops in Trump and the raid at Mar-a-Lago and the alleged files that were
00:50:22.980 found on your quote-unquote sex life as reported in The Guardian that caused a trans-Atlantic
00:50:28.680 panic.
00:50:30.420 Wow.
00:50:31.140 How about a trans-Atlantic panic?
00:50:32.120 What could it possibly be?
00:50:33.520 We're going to get to the bottom of that.
00:50:35.100 So guys, that series will begin next Friday.
00:50:38.600 And I look forward and I'm grateful for all of you guys that have supported me through
00:50:41.360 this.
00:50:41.700 Obviously, we spent the majority of this time with this podcast being completely demonetized
00:50:45.660 and have relied on just you guys donating to keep this show going.
00:50:49.320 And everything's just been amazing, truly.
00:50:51.580 Like I'm so grateful to my audience.
00:50:53.380 I'm so grateful to the detectives, the moms at home, the dads at home, and just like the
00:50:58.620 whole gang gang out there.
00:51:00.140 It's been amazing, you guys.
00:51:01.520 So I'm going to read some of your comments first.

00:52:15.700 This time is flying.
00:52:16.640 I just feel like I have so much more of what I want to say to talk to you guys.
00:52:20.560 I want to hang up with my friend right now.
00:52:22.160 Okay, let me just see what you guys are saying.
00:52:23.460 I'm not hanging up the phone right now.
00:52:24.520 We don't have to say goodbye.
00:52:26.440 We have Donnie, who has commented and said, please interview Nicole Shanahan.
00:52:32.140 She is the only person in California that could get elected as governor, and we need her.
00:52:36.880 I'm aware she's RFK Jr.
00:52:39.360 She was RFK Jr.'s running mate in a 2024 independent presidential campaign.
00:52:43.680 I have heard of her.
00:52:45.060 I'm not invested particularly in Californian politics, but this is a good suggestion.
00:52:50.340 You know, we're kind of going a different direction with the show.
00:52:52.820 I'm worried about what's happening in Emmanuel Macron's life.
00:52:55.520 But, you know, it's always good to have suggestions.
00:52:57.500 So we'll take a look at that.
00:52:58.400 Uh, Ulysses Osuna writes, Blake's actions of how she conducted herself during the interviews
00:53:03.580 were still her actions and not Ryan's.
00:53:05.560 Totally agree.
00:53:06.300 That's what she, that's what started the organic smear campaign.
00:53:09.300 She still hasn't owned up to anything, even if Ryan pushed for it.
00:53:12.020 Totally agree.
00:53:12.760 And I hope I've made that clear.
00:53:13.800 Like, my understanding is that she's not a great person either.
00:53:15.680 Like, she's never been particularly nice.
00:53:17.060 But this entire drive to destroy Justin Baldoni is not being driven by her, allegedly.
00:53:24.380 It's being very much driven by Ryan Baldoni.
00:53:27.120 I mean, by Ryan Reynolds' feelings for Justin Baldoni.
00:53:29.620 And so, like I said, I feel like I'm going to crack it, but I think something maybe happened.
00:53:33.400 And, um, but to, to set him off that much, something must have happened because then
00:53:38.400 he tried to, he even tried to buy his film, by the way, guys.
00:53:40.500 Like, do we have that?
00:53:41.940 Do you have that, Skyler?
00:53:43.620 Showing that he, yeah, Blake Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds, willing to buy out Justin Baldoni
00:53:48.100 from an ends with us.
00:53:49.380 That's not normal, kids.
00:53:51.020 Okay, like, like, hey, honey, bye.
00:53:53.740 I'm going to work.
00:53:54.380 Yeah, I'll be there.
00:53:55.160 I'm going to put your boss in the basement.
00:53:57.400 I'm going to buy the whole company so that you can be in the films and I can watch you be in
00:54:02.320 the films that you want to be in.
00:54:03.320 Like, that's not the signs of, like, a healthy relationship, I would say.
00:54:08.880 Sister Bethy writes, Candace, I agree.
00:54:10.860 Generation X is very immature.
00:54:12.440 They are 50 and up competing with 30-year-olds.
00:54:15.020 They're embarrassing, embarrassing to us all.
00:54:18.000 I'm a Gen Xer, but they make us look bad.
00:54:19.980 And Candace, I wish you were Trump's press secretary.
00:54:21.840 Everyone would look forward to your press conferences.
00:54:23.740 I know it would be so fun, but it can't happen, dude.
00:54:26.280 I've made myself an enemy of AIPAC.
00:54:27.820 And the rule is, it's like, you just can't work in administration if AIPAC hates you.
00:54:31.460 So it doesn't work like that.
00:54:32.960 And actually, I say I wish I could do that, but I don't, actually.
00:54:36.420 I love what I do here.
00:54:37.660 This is so much more fun.
00:54:38.820 Like, I couldn't be up on the podium being like, let me tell you a question.
00:54:41.440 But first, have you seen the report about Justin Baldoni?
00:54:45.100 Like, whoa, but did you see the video about Brett Cooper?
00:54:47.820 I can't, I wouldn't be allowed to do that.
00:54:49.080 And I don't want to exist anywhere.
00:54:51.120 I can't be my full self.
00:54:52.700 Maybe I could do that.
00:54:53.960 They'd be very confused, but I probably could do that.
00:54:56.120 If Joe Biden can be president, I can be a press secretary that just speaks about cultural
00:55:00.920 issues.
00:55:02.260 Ben Coyne writes, Candice, I appreciate how strong your faith is as a Catholic.
00:55:06.180 It makes me feel more confident in my own and inspired me to participate more in the
00:55:09.120 faith as well as at my local parish.
00:55:11.300 So thank you.
00:55:12.040 I love that, Ben.
00:55:12.740 Challenge yourself to learn the Latin liturgy.
00:55:15.320 That's my challenge this year.
00:55:16.360 I have not learned it, but I have a missile, so it's like English and Latin, and I'm getting
00:55:20.020 better.
00:55:20.720 And it's a fun challenge to feel like a kid again and realize that you don't know anything.
00:55:23.620 And actually, it's great to have Latin as a language.
00:55:26.640 It's just like the root word there.
00:55:28.400 I think it's a very good challenge that I've taken on this year, or last year, rather, is
00:55:33.240 when I started it.
00:55:33.920 Alaska Dog Lady writes, Netflix has a Jerry Springer doc.
00:55:36.840 He did an episode with actual Klansmen.
00:55:39.440 When asked why he would do that as a Jew, he said, these people killed my ancestors, but
00:55:43.960 I censor no one.
00:55:45.220 We need that 90s energy back.
00:55:47.540 Yeah, I have pulled clips of the people that Oprah interviewed.
00:55:50.320 It is crazy how much we have been censored, even since the 90s.
00:55:54.540 You don't even realize that.
00:55:55.500 They were having all sorts of people challenging conversations, but I think it's growing more
00:56:00.080 censorious because they're not able to control people.
00:56:03.240 And so they're just kind of freaking out, especially all of these moves to censor Gen
00:56:08.900 Z because Gen Z is not pro-Israel, whatever.
00:56:11.060 It's crazy.
00:56:12.520 And you only do that when you're losing control.
00:56:14.760 Censorship wasn't a thing when Obama was in office.
00:56:17.260 Then suddenly people demanded it when they realized, like, whoa, we didn't expect all
00:56:20.380 these people to vote for Donald Trump.
00:56:21.760 We were kind of telling them who to vote for and they were doing it.
00:56:24.780 So I think that's definitely one piece of it is a lack of control, more people just waking
00:56:28.920 up to what the media entity actually is, which is something that's quite evil.
00:56:33.620 This person writes, regarding Blake, this would make sense because her interviews during
00:56:36.700 the press for this movie almost seemed like she was trying to make it fail.
00:56:40.500 Maybe she was pressured from Ryan there as well.
00:56:43.340 I don't know.
00:56:44.100 I don't.
00:56:44.540 Obviously, Justin Baldoni did not want it to fail.
00:56:46.080 I don't know that she would either because it would be something that's on her resume.
00:56:49.980 And also, if I'm correct, she was a producer on the movie, like she was given a producer
00:56:53.640 credit.
00:56:54.540 But I think they definitely wanted or rather Ryan Reynolds wanted Justin to fail.
00:57:01.060 Martha writes, hi, Candice.
00:57:03.140 When are you going to collab with House and Habit?
00:57:05.040 Love you, girl.
00:57:05.460 I did an interview with her.
00:57:07.120 Jessica Reed.
00:57:07.720 She's great.
00:57:08.240 She's phenomenal.
00:57:09.480 And I like her a lot.
00:57:10.760 So I would love to collab with her.
00:57:12.140 But I just got to have this baby first.
00:57:13.520 Also, guys, reminding you, we are still selling our Standis Cups, our new ones that you requested,
00:57:19.780 the purple Standis Cup.
00:57:21.380 Everything is fake and gay because it is.
00:57:23.280 And we know it.
00:57:24.040 And just to be clear, YouTube, we say gay.
00:57:26.480 We are not mocking homosexuals.
00:57:27.900 We are back in the 90s when we say fake and gay.
00:57:30.240 It's the general climate of everything that's happening.
00:57:32.440 And so next week is going to be a banger.
00:57:34.260 I will have the final tea and figure out what happened that set Ryan off on set, allegedly.
00:57:40.940 And we also have, again, if we can bring up that Becoming Brigitte series, which will begin on Friday.
00:57:48.980 Do you think she'll send me a gag order?
00:57:50.760 She did this, like, whole spread, by the way, yesterday in Paris match.
00:57:54.080 And it was like, Brigitte will return, you know, anybody saying anything for her, like, blow for blow was the language that was in French, obviously.
00:58:02.820 And she will return blow for blow.
00:58:04.700 I wasn't mentioned in the article, but I was just thinking, like, she's going to hit me.
00:58:08.840 Men shouldn't hit women.
00:58:10.220 That feels very wrong.
00:58:11.740 Anyways, we'll see you guys on Monday.
00:58:12.940 We'll see you guys on Monday.
