Candace Owens claims to have evidence that proves Bridget McGroroe is her biological daughter. But is it enough to prove this or is there more to the story than that? And what evidence does she have?
00:01:42.000Now, that's not to say that all of it, let's say you believe she's a man, that it's enough proof, but it is more than enough proof that her claims, there are no pictures, are unsubstantiated.
00:01:52.000Then she just, she switched it and said, well, that's actually not a picture of her.
00:02:35.000What proof, what evidence does Candace have?
00:02:40.000Her sources include a couple of journalists who had released this publicly a very long time ago.
00:02:44.000She probably saw some of the videos on YouTube.
00:02:47.000And Amandine Roy, a spiritual medium who floated the theory that Bridget is really her brother who transitioned into Bridget and isn't a man.
00:03:05.000I know you're thinking, there must be more.
00:03:07.000She must have medical records, but hasn't presented any.
00:03:12.000She must have evidence beyond hearsay, like the Nashville story, like Donald Trump calling her, doesn't appear to be any.
00:03:21.000So the information that she did have at the time when she released this to you, if you watched her series, a multi-part series, where she said, there are no pictures out there of Bridget.
00:05:28.000And I probably wouldn't like Bridget at all.
00:05:29.000And by the way, she was a teacher and it was really creepy and he was young and I think that it's probably an inappropriate relationship, of course.
00:05:35.000But if this woman is not a man and just a very unfortunate looking broad, you know, don't you guys, like, don't you feel a little bad for her?
00:06:55.000And when you combine with no evidence, no proof, and a gut feeling based on what a spiritual medium told you and what a sort of journalist, I guess, told you who has already been found in one capacity or another to be liable for defamation, contrasted with photographic and historical and sworn testimony evidence.
00:07:19.000I don't really think it's going to be that hard to prove that she knowingly was dishonest.
00:07:25.000It's going to come down to the damages, the jurisdiction.
00:07:30.000I really think that's the only thing that remains to be seen.
00:07:47.000You need to provide insight, add value for you watching, and then go and then go, okay, how do we do this so that it's at least palatable, entertaining, so that people want to watch it?
00:07:55.000But you do have to start with, is this true?
00:08:00.000And that's why we make all the references available.
00:08:03.000And that's why we don't have a business that operates on investigative journalism because the moment you do that, you have to look for the next big scoop.
00:08:09.000And then you start trying to find it in places that it doesn't exist.
00:08:12.000We can do it when we think there's something there.
00:08:17.000At best, I'm disappointed with the way Candace is handling this if she's a journalist or a broadcaster.
00:08:25.000At worst, I'm disgusted with someone potentially knowingly lying to you to try and get your clicks, your money, and support with no mindfulness as to your reputation, your credibility.
00:08:40.000If you go out and say, I know for a fact that Bridget McCrone is a man, and then it's so verifiably proven false that your friends and your circle never trust you again, your credibility matters too.
00:08:52.000I try and think sitting right there, wherever you are, in your truck, in your living room, in your dorm, I don't want to hang you out to dry.
00:09:35.000Like that's what she was claiming, that people were going to lose their job.
00:09:37.000And then she goes, you can take from that what you will on Steven putting this out there.
00:09:40.000Like, obviously, she's saying you were reckless and you just got people fired, Stephen.
00:09:44.000That's exactly what she was saying right there.
00:09:45.000Also, that influencers were paid to do stories about her.
00:09:48.000I think the only thing that was ever, the only thing that ever even came of that was some random email from a Jewish group, I guess, to Protestant churches or churches in America to preach sermons on some of these things that might happen from Candace's show.
00:10:32.000And so you do have to start at some point going, like, why are you making these claims that you can't really verify?
00:10:38.000Trump called me and told me, listen to this, listen to this, that France is the key to peace between Ukraine and Russia?
00:10:44.000France is not the key to peace to anybody right now.
00:10:47.000And even if that was the case, I don't think France would go, you know, I could make a phone call right now and I could end the human suffering that's going on by the tens of thousands every single week being either killed or maimed in this war.
00:11:14.000And you can't possibly prove that it happened.
00:11:16.000What I do know, though, is that you said in the middle of that, you had the foresight to go, ah, I need to say something funny because I'm going to write a book later about this.
00:13:56.000He wrote a book, Becoming Bridget, and has interviewed with Candace, but he's never been sued specifically, not that person who wrote that book.
00:14:02.000So just to clarify kind of where this thing comes from and how it gets out there.
00:14:14.000If it's your wife, if it's your husband, whatever it is, the claims being made, they go, and someone publicly says, and by the way, on a campaign says there's no proof of his birth and there are no childhood pictures.
00:14:27.000And then you go, birth certificate, birth announcement, many, many pictures of childhood, including weddings.
00:14:33.000And with her children, and with the brother you claim this person to be.
00:14:36.000You provided it, and that person knowingly omitted and continued to lie about it.
00:14:41.000Now, knowingly omitting it is different.
00:14:43.000You don't have to include all information that you've been given.
00:14:46.000Every single piece that you read or video that you watch includes edits.
00:14:49.000If there's an in and an out point, there are edits.
00:14:52.000But if you omit it and knowingly continue to say there are no childhood photographs, there is no evidence of this person's birth when you have been sent that.
00:15:02.000I'm going to tell you legally this doesn't end well for Candace no matter what she does as far as grandstanding.
00:15:12.000And just like you personalize it when you're betrayed by people you voted for, I would say I've felt that way in the past when I've had people who I've supported who were orders or they were broadcasters and sometimes even comedians who then sort of stabbed me in the, I guess I should say, ideological back.
00:15:33.000If you actually believed before today that there was no evidence of the birth, you were lied to.
00:15:37.000If you actually believe there were no childhood pictures, you were lied to.
00:15:40.000If you actually believe that there was no evidence that Bridget McCrone was seen photographed with the brother who people have claimed her to be, you were lied to.
00:17:56.000If you saw the documentary on that, kind of the passing of the torch between he's like, this guy's my hero, essentially, or some degree, he had a lot of respect.
00:18:03.000And apparently Andre called for it middle of the match and he wasn't wasn't not middle of the match, but right before it he like called for it like to do it.
00:18:10.000And I was like, if I was, if I was Hulk Holder, I'd be like, holy crap, I hope I can do this.
00:18:58.000I think Andre the Giant drank like 100 something in an hour.
00:19:00.000There's a record that he set with beer, and they said that he would regularly drink like 40, 50 on a bus ride and toss his cans at the back of Hulk's head.
00:19:09.000And also have two bottles of wine after.
00:24:27.000And that was partly on Hulk Hogan's literal back.
00:24:30.000When I think about Hogan's legacy, I also think about his legal legacy.
00:24:34.000You were talking before the break about Hogan's politics.
00:24:37.000We know, of course, how President Trump has been very litigious lately.
00:24:41.000Well, who was it that kind of usher in this era of celebrity lawsuits against media outlets?
00:24:46.000I would say Hulk Hogan's person that gets that billing.
00:24:50.000Hulk Hogan was, he decided to sue a blog called Gawker about 10 years ago at this point because Gawker published a sex tape that he was in.
00:25:01.000This lawsuit worked its way through the courts for years.
00:25:49.000And remember, he also had faked a presidential run appearing on the Tonight Show in a bit of a gag and pretending he was going for president.
00:25:58.000But Trump later said in 2024, He'd give him a position as a president's counsel on physical.
00:26:05.000This is why legacy media hates shows like this and Joe Rogan.
00:26:09.000There couldn't be anyone less appropriate to comment on Hulk Hogan than Brian Stelter and this asshole.
00:26:16.000They don't seem like anyone who would have an interest or should be discussing professional wrestling or athletics or masculine activities with you.
00:26:25.000They got cliff notes during a commercial break.
00:26:28.000Well, and basically what they were doing is saying like, this guy ushered in this bad wave of stuff that bankrupted these poor people over there, and now Trump's doing the same.
00:26:36.000It's like, wait a minute, the guy just died, and that's what you're bringing up?
00:28:07.000Well, obviously prayers with the family.
00:28:11.000I'm sure those affect people who love them, who are close to them.
00:28:14.000And this is one thing, too, I will say, this is the problem with, it's all a feminism thing, this idea that a man is imperfect, so it erases his accomplishments.
00:28:23.000Like, we all know that Lauren Southern was very likely not raped by Andrew Tate, right?
00:28:54.000And so what they try and do is go, look, Tommy Robinson, who's drawn attention to Muslim raping gangs, who's done time in prison to stand up for his beliefs.
00:29:05.000Therefore, all of his accomplishments are gone.
00:29:08.000Meanwhile, you live like a monster, cheating on your husband, doing all the things that you accuse other people of doing, tarnishing his reputation.
00:29:15.000And you want to perpetually be the victim.
00:30:00.000But what he does and what you see from these men's advocates out there is they say, hey, look, women, when they talk to women, they go, this is what men want and what men expect of you.
00:31:02.000Did he really do anything wrong to the person who worked for the liberal rag site Gawker that peddled in smear campaigns, taking without permission, without consent, a sex tape and profiting off of it by disseminating it to the public?
00:31:20.000You don't allow the other gender to define what it is that you should be, because then they just redefine gender and now there's countless genders.
00:31:26.000So Hulk Hogan, I'm sure a lot of people have bad things to say about him, doesn't erase what he did.
00:31:31.000It doesn't erase who he was and it doesn't erase the impact that he had.
00:32:02.000First chat for Chat Thursday from Doso Klakos.
00:32:05.000Why would Trump release the Epstein list now?
00:32:07.000No political timing, return on investment, and give up your leverage on the most powerful people while investigations are ongoing seems like a dumb move.
00:33:30.000Or, you know, I'm not the like political rocket scientist or anything over here, but if he saw this play coming, he handled it the exact opposite way of what he should do.
00:33:38.000If he saw the Democrats trying to use this to kind of bog down his administration because of Epstein files and everything else, he should have come out immediately and said, you know what?
00:33:46.000Listen, you guys have known for a very long time that Jeff Epstein was in social circles that sometimes crossed with mine.
00:33:52.000This guy was never a close confidant or a friend of mine.
00:33:56.000But guess what the Democrats are going to try to do?
00:33:59.000They're going to try to show you some footage from a wedding back in the early 90s where he happened to be in the same room.
00:34:05.000I may have had a conversation with him for a minute or two, and they're going to try to make you think that I, along with Epstein and everybody else that supposedly is on that list, did things wrong.
00:36:52.000Well, I also had a custom cappuccino machine and the thing like every, it's like all these things where it's just so you just go, okay, all right, fine.
00:37:01.000Haven't had a scandal of being sued and being wrong.
00:37:03.000Haven't had a scandal of making a claim that is verifiably false as far as fidelity, as far as drug use.
00:37:10.000You can read rumors that I'm a man whore, which of course is very, I'm one of the few people who you can prove that's not the case through court records for at least nine years.
00:37:34.000I don't know that everyone's crashing.
00:37:36.000I do know that, yeah, the people you mentioned, Lauren Southern, Lauren Chen, Candace Owens.
00:37:42.000I think there's definitely a point to be made that a lot of people who made accusations or a lot of people who made claims about you are now showing that they have a pattern of behavior that shows that they don't always have the right facts or they don't always have the exclusive scoop or that they will lie about something.
00:38:03.000Yeah, it wasn't just covering the situation, which is understandable.
00:38:06.000Like if you're covering a situation, you're trying to understand what's going on and you may have an opinion that, you know, but this was like, this was outright attacking.
00:38:13.000This was outright coming out and trying to try to destroy.
00:38:16.000And look, I'll just say it, this is obviously a strategy going on.
00:38:20.000We all know who was behind that strategy to try to destroy you.
00:39:13.000Lauren Southern, what a horrible husband.
00:39:16.000Okay, we now know that you were doing drugs, out gallivanting, and I believe confirmed cheating on your husband, the man who you claimed was an absolute monster and you had to get your kids away from.
00:39:28.000Lauren Chen, at one point, she was with the Nick Fuentes thing.
00:39:31.000And oh, look at all big conservatives.
00:39:33.000They're the ones taking money and they're the ones who are bought and paid for, was literally taking money knowingly, in her case, knowingly from a foreign asset and lying to people who she was paying about it.
00:39:45.000So in those cases, those specific examples is they were accusing me of doing something.
00:39:51.000And even in their accusations, they were much, much milder than what they were actually doing.
00:40:02.000Okay, imperfect husband, everyone, things, even the edited stuff taken completely out of context with no infidelity and no ability, according to long-standing court records.
00:40:11.000You were doing MDMA and cocaine in England with other men.
00:40:59.000Commenting on Trump's handling of the Epstein case is not going to win us any friends.
00:41:04.000Some people will be happy that we talked about it, but a lot of people that are just like, anything bad about Trump, anything negative should just be kept to yourself.
00:42:55.000I understand why you're not willing at this point to assume Trump was slash is in on the Epstein files cover-up.
00:43:02.000What would slash should be needed to convince you otherwise?
00:43:06.000Okay, if the files were released and it showed that Donald Trump still maintained a friendly relationship with receipts for a long period of time with Epstein after he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago, post-conviction, I would go, okay, well then this isn't necessarily, and it seems like there might be something there.
00:43:24.000There would have to be a significant ongoing relationship after the conviction and after Donald Trump coordinated with authorities.
00:43:33.000I mean, for example, it'd be like coming out and someone, someone who, let's say, got involved with criminal activity because they were raised in a bad neighborhood and didn't quite know and got pulled in, you know, and then them going, oh my gosh, I don't want to be involved with this, and then went and alerted the authorities and worked with them.
00:43:46.000And for the rest of their life, someone going like, yeah, but you were in a gang.
00:43:49.000It's like, well, yeah, hold on a second, though.
00:44:11.000No, I guess for most people, I mean, it seems like there was a moment from what we know now, and again, that's what would, hopefully that answers your question, that's what would change it, that Trump was around with it because he was around everywhere where people were wealthy.
00:44:22.000Probably like, oh, yeah, hey, do you like golf?
00:44:57.000But you never heard me say they were going to Sex Island.
00:44:59.000It seems like they were doing some kind of thing, you know, like kind of like a live aid type thing, speaking for some sort of philanthropy organizations.
00:48:28.000We could disagree on so many other social issues, but that right there, it's crazy to me that people are like, that's a bad thing that more Americans are getting jobs.
00:48:37.000And it's also a net job gain if it's 1.5 versus 1 million loss.
00:48:41.000Which means there's a rebalancing where it's going to people who absolutely verifiably have a right to be here.
00:48:46.000Not that all foreign-born workers are here illegally, but priority should be placed on people who are here, not visiting, and a net gain of jobs overall.
00:49:36.000I mean, I was automatically granted dual citizenship because my mom is, even though I was born in Detroit, my mom's Canadian.
00:49:40.000And I've been on air saying, how do I renounce it?
00:49:42.000I just, I mean, I just don't have any, I don't have any evidence of a Canadian citizenship at this point because my birth certificate is American.
00:50:36.000But just look at the Donald Trump case.
00:50:38.000Look at the, not Cal Rittenhouse, but Nick Sandman case, these defamation cases that have, look at the Gawker case, those occur domestically.
00:50:45.000So that's not a First Amendment issue.
00:50:46.000In other words, people can be liable for defamation, for slander, for libel here in the States, even within the same state, certainly within the same country.
00:50:54.000So I would imagine that there's a case to be made that we still all have a pretty similar standard of defamation and libel.
00:51:02.000So it's not like the courts that they're suing Candace through are the American courts.
00:51:16.000No, and I think this is honestly a good thing they sent in a note.
00:51:19.000Like, we do want to make sure that, you know, because if that was the case and we couldn't sue somebody over there, they couldn't sue over here.
00:51:24.000They could just spew blatant lies about us.
00:51:26.000It doesn't matter where it's coming from.
00:51:27.000It can still be disseminated in that country.
00:52:07.000Yeah, just like, let's say you're on vacation here in the States and you get raped in Miami and you go, but of course you're allowed to come back and press charges because you're still a human being.
00:53:25.000Well, to give you an idea, when we do a super video like that, we'll often miss at least one show, sometimes two, because it just takes so much time to do.
00:53:32.000So, you know, it's the best we can do, and none of us get a full two weeks off when we do it.
00:54:11.000Focus should always obviously be the economy.
00:54:13.000The focus should be, I just heard that they're now offering incentives to bring back ICE agents who retired, including like signing bonuses, because I think 10,000 quit, if I'm not mistaken, under Biden.
00:54:22.000So bringing them in, so actually making sure that those funds are appropriated so that ICE can step up the deportations.
00:54:28.000Because I will tell you this, that is something that We can't forget that we need to keep our foot on the gas before the next election because you're not going to actually see the positive change until we hit the right number of deportations, and we've already largely solved the border being secure.
00:54:59.000I knew there was something hanging out there that was still unresolved.
00:55:01.000He's touched on a lot of different topics, but that's one right now that is still out there.
00:55:05.000And look, from what I've seen and what I've heard, it seems like some of these sites are actually loosening their guidelines a little bit, but that's it ebbs and flows.
00:55:18.000As somebody who's out here creating content, you know, like if you're on YouTube and that's your platform and they just shut you down for no reason, like one, why are you just on YouTube?
00:55:26.000But two, like that, there has to be some kind of way to fix that.
00:55:34.000And like we've said, it really is an easy first step.
00:55:36.000And the fact that no one has been doing it yet is remarkable.
00:55:40.000It's one of those, it's kind of like Epstein, it becomes political football and people don't really do what they kind of all agree should be done.
00:55:45.000So Section 230 gives them safe harbor protections, which means that Facebook, you know, Meta, YouTube, Google, Twitter, TikTok, they're given these safe harbor laws where they're treated like a, and I've talked about this quite a bit, but it's always good to have a refresher, they're treated like a digital town square, where basically, or they're treated like a utility, just like Verizon isn't liable.
00:56:04.000If you call and say, hey, neo-Nazi meeting at 4 p.m., okay, great.
00:56:08.000No one can sue Verizon and say, hey, you're supporting neo-Nazis, right?
00:56:11.000Because at that point, it's treated as a utility.
00:56:13.000Now, the problem is these social media platforms are treated, they're given protection as a utility so that they are not liable for what's on there.
00:56:19.000If someone posts a horrible comment, of course, they shouldn't be.
00:56:21.000As opposed to a publisher like New York Times or Wall Street Journal, they're going to find out very soon that if you publish something that you chose to publish knowingly, you are held responsible for that because you're a publisher.
00:56:35.000The problem is these platforms claim that anyone can post there, and they have very egregiously been removing people because of points of view, not just demonetizing, but removing and censoring, in some cases at the behest of the government, as we saw with the Biden administration.
00:56:50.000So it's a really, really easy first step.
00:56:53.000You just need to sit them down and go, okay, so are you a utility or are you a publisher?
00:57:00.000For a utility, you have to follow speech laws.
00:57:03.000You have to follow consent laws as far as states, meaning investigative journalism.
00:57:09.000If it's a single-party consent state, you can't remove investigative journalism.
00:57:12.000You cannot remove people because they do something that you deem offensive.
00:57:17.000And you can't strip people of their ability to make a living.
00:57:19.000And that's either removal, ban, shadow banning.
00:57:22.000You cannot favor certain people based on point of view.
00:57:25.000Otherwise, you will be treated as a publisher like the Wall Street Journal, like the New York Times, which is how you're acting right now in selecting and modifying content.
00:57:36.000And if you do that, enjoy your lawsuits.
