Speaker 1 Terms apply.

Speaker 2 All right, you guys. Happy Tuesday.
And obviously, I should not be here. Should not be here at all.
I really do not understand this news cycle right now. It seems to be doing the absolute most.

Speaker 2 It has zero chills, zero respect for a mother nursing her young on maternity leave. On Tuesday, I said to you guys, goodbye.
I will see you guys in two weeks.

Speaker 2 And then something rather big happened to the president of France. Yes, quescouset, there was a bit of a tussle in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Speaker 2 Quescoucet, his flight might have experienced a little bit of turbulence while it was grounded.

Speaker 2 Now, people are saying, and I'm not people, people are saying that his father merely disciplined him publicly, which has led to some lingering philosophical questions like how old is too old to spank your child?

Speaker 2 Questions that obviously I'm the only person who can really answer. I'm the one who has the expertise to answer those questions.
So welcome back to Candace.

Speaker 2 Where were you when Brigitte Macrone publicly whooped President Macron? Right. That's going to be one of the questions that this generation is going to reflect on, a moment in time.

Speaker 2 You know, like, where were you when Mike Tyson bit the air off of Holyfield in that boxing match? Where were you when Michael Jackson moonwalked across the stage?

Speaker 2 Well, regarding what happened to President Macron, I know exactly where I was. I had just risen from bed.

Speaker 2 I was about to nurse my young and I opened my phone and Xavier Poussard had sent me some messages. I mean, I was groggy and I looked at them and he said, this happened.

Speaker 2 Very ever factual, as he tends to be, Xavier Poussard. This is the incident that took place.
Here's the link. The Ilyizé Palace lied about it.
And when I saw the video, I instantly shoved my husband.

Speaker 2 I'm in bed. I'm like, we got to wake up.
You got to wake up. You're not going to believe what's taking place.
They've been caught in a tussle. And he didn't even hear me.
He was kind of half asleep.

Speaker 2 And then an hour later, he said, Did you wake me up to say something about Brigitte Macrone? Yes, indeed, I did.

Speaker 2 And I'm very quickly going to show you guys the video that has by now made its way around the world. I'm talking a global PR catastrophe for this couple.
So let's very quickly watch it.

Speaker 2 If you are listening to this on Spotify or Apple, don't worry about it because we're going to do a video breakdown. But here is the clip that made its way around the world.

Speaker 2 You obviously see the plane door gets opened and then

Speaker 2 suddenly his face is being smushed. Okay, let's slow this down because there are some things that I think are being missed by the public.

Speaker 2 First and foremost, I just want to shout out the real victim in all of this, okay? Let's just watch the beginning of this clip. The pilot that comes out and opens the door.

Speaker 2 He is the unsung victim in this because he is going to be so fired. I mean, just the wrong timing there.

Speaker 2 I just imagine that when he gets back and this trip is over for no reason at all, Brigitte is going to lose it because Brigitte is a maniac behind the scenes. These are the facts.

Speaker 2 I am telling you, Brigitte is losing his mind. I know this to be an absolute fact.
I'll tell you more about that later.

Speaker 2 But then what we see here, and this is what people need to get right because what was being reported as a slap or a smack is actually incorrect. This was a double-handed shove to Macron's face.

Speaker 2 We're going to slow that down so you can see it. Take a look at this.
That is

Speaker 2 two arms. You said frozen.
Two arms in the shot. You can see Brigitte's left arm and right arm right on his face.

Speaker 2 And when you get closer to it, you can even see that Brigitte is wearing some sort of a watch or a piece of jewelry.

Speaker 2 And I just went, okay, that's just like dudes beginning to fight because a couple of things there. Listen, I went to public school, saw a lot of these fights.

Speaker 2 When a woman is hitting a man, it's usually one hand, a smack, because a woman's not really fearful in most circumstances that the guy's going to hit her back.

Speaker 2 It's just like a little whack across the face. And, you know, maybe it's a mom to her son, smack.
And then it's kind of over because she's just being over-emotional and hitting him.

Speaker 2 When men fight, there tends to be an aggressive shove that happens first, right?

Speaker 2 Shove to the face like that, just to be super disrespectful. And that's exactly what happened here, okay?

Speaker 2 I am telling you, Brigitte was in some form, was very clearly a rate and gave him the full shove.

Speaker 2 Now, what we're going to sort on now, right, right now, is Macron's reaction to this, because I think it should be studied in colleges and universities across the world because it's giving fight or flight, the fight or flight response that we have as humans a new meaning.

Speaker 2 I mean, this could be called fight-on-flight response.

Speaker 2 And it's incredible to actually think about the physiological changes that must be going through Emmanuel Macron's body and mind during this moment. Okay.

Speaker 2 At first, he perceives, he gets double shoved. You're going to have that human response, like, am I going to fight this person? Am I going to fight this grown man? He perceives this physical threat.

Speaker 2 And before he can even process that,

Speaker 2 he then perceives the bigger threat. which is the media, the cameras that are flashing outside.
Could you imagine his heart rate in this moment?

Speaker 1 Look at him.

Speaker 3 Look at his face.

Speaker 2 Genuinely, he looks like he pooped his pants. That's the only way I can describe his face for listening to the podcast.

Speaker 2 He looks like a toddler did an uh-oh in a very public space, maybe at Six Flags, Disney World, and realizes things are, things have gone terribly wrong. Okay.
And I recognize this face.

Speaker 2 You recognize this face. I'll say it.
This is very clearly the face from the cowardly lion, Wizard of Oz.

Speaker 2 He gets smacked right across the face from Dorothy because he's acting all tough, but then he scoops up Toto. Let's just run the clip to jog your memory here.

Speaker 4 Shame on you.

Speaker 4 What did you do that for?

Speaker 2 That's the exact same face Emmanuel Macrone is making there. Okay.

Speaker 2 And then what happens next, and this next portion is what makes the Elysee Palace response to it the most absurd response I've ever heard. Brigitte is very clearly not able to pull it together.

Speaker 2 Brigitte is angry. Brigitte is big mad.
They now got to pull it together, pilot, so fired, open the door unexpectedly. And Macrone, ever the actor, we told you how they got together.

Speaker 2 Oh, yes, he was so amazing on stage. I just couldn't resist this little boy.

Speaker 3 Ugh. Ugh.

Speaker 2 Disgusting. But ever the actor, Macrone pulls it together pretty quickly.
And he's like, I just got to pull it together in front of the cameras. I've been doing this since I was a little boy.

Speaker 2 And you see right there, he puts out his arm and Brigitte refuses it. Okay.
Brigitte refuses it. Brigitte's like, nope, cannot pull it together.
I'm still big mad. Okay.

Speaker 2 And I just want to say, by the way, is it me or is Brigitte looking more and more manly every time, every time we see him? It's just incredible.

Speaker 2 I feel like every single series, I mean, the wig is just so bad, but I don't want to get lost on that. Okay.
Let's stay focused here.

Speaker 2 This last portion is amazing because I feel that it's Macrone once they fully descended down the steps and you pay attention.

Speaker 2 I feel Macrone is practicing whatever it is that he learned in anger management because his fist, look at that fist, the left fist.

Speaker 3 He's just

Speaker 3 trying to hold everything in.

Speaker 2 An anger management technique, just bulk up your fist, hold it all together. And we know that fist, obviously, that's the Arthur fist.
We've all seen it. He punched DW.

Speaker 2 That's his fist, a meme that's now going viral. And that's what Emmanuel Macron is doing right there, just trying to manage his anger and obviously having recognized that this has been captured.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Now, if as if this couldn't be the most crazy thing that's happened in a very long time, and it's not, by the way, in a long line of things that happened in this relationship, it's not even close to the craziest thing that's happened.

Speaker 2 But what was then so stunning was

Speaker 2 we're watching a sitting president of the Western world get pummeled by his husband. Then the Lysee Palace just moves to completely lie about the thing that we just watched.

Speaker 2 Their reaction to this was essentially a lie that was so bad that not even the mainstream media fully bit on it, right? They kind of, some of them tried to, other ones are just outright mocking them.

Speaker 2 I'll show you both. I'll show you both of those reactions.

Speaker 2 But what happened at first, I kid you not, when a journalist contacted the Lyse Palace, and I'm assuming at this point they had not seen the footage, the Lyse Palace responded and they said of all things that it was Russia's fault.

Speaker 2 They just went ahead and blamed Russia right off the top. That seems to be a thing that everybody does.
Russia, Russia, Russia. Russia's bad all the time.
Putin, Putin, stay focused on Putin.

Speaker 2 I kid you not, the official statement from the LASA Palace was, quote, these are images generated by artificial intelligence being boosted by Russians.

Speaker 2 It's amazing. That is amazing.
I have to imagine somewhere in the world, Putin is laughing. He just is like, what are we doing now? Why would we spend our time doing that?

Speaker 2 For what reason would we pretend that, why would we generate an image of Brigitte Macrone pushing the face, shoving the face of Emmanuel Macron in our spare time? Like we don't have enough going on.

Speaker 2 And the journalist who's on the phone with the Liesa Palace immediately calls them out on their BS. He says, you are lying because these images were just captured from the Associated Press.

Speaker 2 And at that moment, they realized they had made a massive blunder. Okay.
They're, oh my gosh, so this is the Liese Palace is their White House. They've realized we've made a big mistake.

Speaker 2 They completely backtrack and immediately get to work changing their story. And then came a statement from Macron's office.
Macron's office said this: quote:

Speaker 2 It was a moment where the president and his wife were decompressing

Speaker 2 one last time

Speaker 2 before the start of the trip by horsing around. It's a moment of complicity.
It was all that was needed to give ammunition to the conspiracy theorists.

Speaker 2 There is just so much happening in that statement. Genuinely, I feel limited here.
I don't have the vocabulary as extensive enough to underscore how disastrously stupid this response was.

Speaker 2 I'm left wondering whether or not they hired Blake and Ryan's PR team if they went out and said, wow, that was so bad. Are you guys available to do some of our PR?

Speaker 2 First off, where do we begin with that statement? Let's begin by defining what a moment of complicity is.

Speaker 2 What is that?

Speaker 2 They were complicit with one another that they would engage in this beating. What does that actually mean? And what exactly are they decompressing from? Okay.

Speaker 2 So they were just on this very long flight from Paris all the way to Hanoi, one pit stop in between.

Speaker 2 They're on this long flight, and you're going to tell me they decided at the end of it to horse around. I want to be clear.
Let me make something very clear to you.

Speaker 2 I've been on a private plane before.

Speaker 2 And what happens when that flight ends is the exact same thing that happens when public flight ends, when a public flight ends, you are required to put on your seatbelt, be seated because the plane is coming in for landing.

Speaker 2 You're not allowed to take that seatbelt off until the plane has finished taxiing.

Speaker 2 So, what they want us to believe is after a very long flight, and Mark, you're going to have to remind me, how many hours is the flight from Paris to Hanoi? You could tell me this in my ear.

Speaker 1 It was a 12-hour flight and they took a three-hour stop in Abu Dhabi.

Speaker 2 Okay, great. So a 12-hour flight with a strange three-hour flight in Abu Dhabi.
And you're telling me that after that very long flight for a half day,

Speaker 2 the plane lands, it stops taxiing, you take your seatbelt off and you took a look at your senior citizen, wife-husband. and said, hey, let's just, you know, horse around.

Speaker 2 Let's get up here and just horse around. What?

Speaker 2 Nobody, nobody does this. Okay, this is not normal.
You're not going to try to normalize beating a senior citizen up because you need to decompress. What did you do? What are you saying?

Speaker 2 That's just the most foolish response that you could possibly issue after all of this. And then at the end, to call everyone.
who saw things with their own eyes conspiracy theorists.

Speaker 2 Like this happened. We were horseing or this is how we decompress, Like they're vacuum sealed.

Speaker 2 I know it's a pressurized cabin. These two were not vacuum sealed.
They did not need to decompress in this manner. And no couple does this.
I want to be very clear.

Speaker 2 There's no couple that after a long flight, you want to stretch your legs after a long flight. You don't want to shove the face of your spouse.

Speaker 2 You shouldn't want to shove the face of your spouse after a long flight, unless they did something crazy, something that made you very upset, something that angered you.

Speaker 2 And Brigitte, as I know, until you take it to the bank, Brigitte is very very angry at this period in time.

Speaker 2 So they decide to just call us all conspiracy theorists, tell us not to believe our own eyes.

Speaker 2 Macron then doubles down on this quote-unquote conspiracy and the conspiracy theorists out there that are making his life very hard because he's then asked about the incident on camera.

Speaker 2 And here is how he tries to explain things to a newscaster. Take a listen.

Speaker 1 President dismissed concerns later on when asked, saying the pair was just joking about.

Speaker 8 We were squabbling and I was joking with my wife, and I'm surprised by it. And it becomes some sort of geoplanetary catastrophe.

Speaker 8 Everybody needs to calm down and should really focus on actual news.

Speaker 2 Yep. You got to respect that.
You have to respect his ability to just continue to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence. Somebody call Jordan Peterson.

Speaker 2 I think I found the psychopath he was looking for. I mean,

Speaker 2 you're just going to try to sell to the public that you guys were just joking around, completely joking around, and that your face, when you look like you were going to poop your pants, was totally normal stuff.

Speaker 2 You were just surprised that people were watching you joke around, and people need to stay focused on real news.

Speaker 2 And of course, by the way, after this, the legacy media immediately got to work trying to kind of patch together the two lies that they had already told, that Elysi Palace had already told, helping Macron work his lie out

Speaker 2 by still including Russia in the narrative. I kid you not, this is a real clip from CNN.
Take a listen.

Speaker 11 French officials say the moment will likely feed the mills of conspiracy theorists and Russian trolls.

Speaker 11 It's already become a target for pro-Russian accounts and Russian state media who viewed it as a possible opportunity to spread misinformation. And this isn't the first time.

Speaker 11 Earlier this month, prominent Kremlin officials claimed Mako was using cocaine on a train trip to Kyiv with British Prime Minister Keir Stamer and German Chancellor Frederick Metz.

Speaker 11 French officials say a crumpled tissue was mistaken for a bag of drugs. Macron's office debunked the rumor with humour, tweeting, this is a tissue for blowing your nose.

Speaker 11 Officials say these efforts are part of a wider Kremlin campaign to undermine Europe's steadfast support for Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Speaker 2 It's really unbelievable. It's comical.
You should laugh. I don't know how these people take themselves seriously anymore.

Speaker 2 They're still grappling, coming to terms with why everyone has turned to podcasting and independent media when we have to listen to them really try to sell to us that this event that took place, what you just watched with your own eyes, don't pay attention to that because this other unrelated event happened and this was just a tissue.

Speaker 2 And somehow you should know that if you're even believing what you saw with your own eyes, it's because you've been impacted by Russia. And be sure to support Ukraine.
What is happening?

Speaker 2 Who is writing this stuff? And I will say, give credit where credit is due. Gail King, CBS Morning, you know, they have, they have their shows and they did not, they did not bite.

Speaker 2 They were definitely laughing at the absurdity of this lie. Maybe because Gail King, you know, recently went to space and people were mocking her.

Speaker 2 So she's like kind of telling the truth here on this one situation. But they had a panel and they were definitely singing a different tune, laughing at the absurdity.

Speaker 2 So take a listen to this clip from CBS.

Speaker 5 French President Emmanuel Macron, that's causing a stir all around the world.

Speaker 4 It shows Macron about to leave a plane on Sunday and the hand of the first lady, Ruigit Macron, shoving him, smacking him, slapping him, whatever you want to say.

Speaker 6 Shoving the face, right?

Speaker 4 Macron, momentarily, watch his face here, folks.

Speaker 6 Just watch what he turns to the camera and notices everybody's watching.

Speaker 12 Then he's like, hey, everyone.

Speaker 3 Oh,

Speaker 4 what just happened there?

Speaker 6 He looks startled. He waves, and then he goes back inside.
Then when they take the stairs, she's clearly not holding his hand.

Speaker 4 At first, his office claimed the video wasn't real.

Speaker 13 Mistake number one. Mistake number one.

Speaker 12 Because we could all see.

Speaker 3 Don't believe in Lionai.

Speaker 12 Gaslighting us. Every politician gaslights us all day long.

Speaker 6 Yesterday, though, Macron said the video showed the couple bickering and joking around.

Speaker 12 He said.

Speaker 13 Joking around, mistake number two. That's not a joke.

Speaker 5 He said the incident had been overblown into some sort of geoplanetary catastrophe.

Speaker 13 No, just not a catastrophe.

Speaker 6 You got shoved in the face.

Speaker 13 No, by your wife, I thought you in a moment that clearly Mrs. Macron was not happy with Mr.
Macron. That's right.

Speaker 12 I think whatever you should not marry your high school teacher. I mean, I don't know.
Something about that.

Speaker 5 Like, maybe she, who knows?

Speaker 12 What do you guys think?

Speaker 13 Clearly, there's something, something going on. Somebody.

Speaker 2 Why are we leaving it alone? They instantly, at that moment, when he calls out, maybe he shouldn't have married his high school teacher. Gail King shuts him down, that guy shuts him down.

Speaker 2 Why are they being shut down? Why is that somehow the rail that can't be touched? And he's not even touching the third rail.

Speaker 2 He's barely at the first rail. Okay.
He's just saying what is plainly obvious. Like the thing that's been weird about this relationship is the entire genesis of the relationship.

Speaker 2 And the reason why they're going, oh, let's stop that right there is because all roads lead to Candace. Okay.

Speaker 2 Once you start recognizing that there's always been something strange there and you open yourself up to listening about that initial relationship and how the press, just in the same way in France that they're lying right now, and how they attempted to lie about what you watched with your own eyes.

Speaker 2 The press

Speaker 2 went and sold a public lie about how those two met. They lied about their ages.
They lied about everything. It was the entire basis of our Becoming Brigitte series.
And so you see, already they know.

Speaker 2 They're like, well, we can admit that this happened in this relationship, but we've got to stop this guy from even speaking about how strange it was that they ever even got together.

Speaker 2 Because, well, we don't want our listeners to be exposed to the reality that, yeah, there's much more things of a much more sinister nature that took place here that arrived at what happened on that plane.

Speaker 2 Now, I will say I do agree with the panel regarding the state-level gaslighting that's taking place.

Speaker 2 I'm actually getting to a place where I'm inclined to believe that the Macron's PR team hates them both deeply, clearly.

Speaker 2 That has to be the only explanation for such communications disasters that have taken place. I mean, whose idea was it on the team that said, hmm, what's an illegal letter to Candace Owens?

Speaker 3 That'll go well.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it sounds swell. Send her a legal letter, Tennessee.
And that blew up in their faces. I mean, if I was the PR team, I would have issued a state.
You immediately acknowledge it.

Speaker 2 Oh, you know, this is

Speaker 2 right off the top. Domestic violence is never okay, period.

Speaker 2 But after months of Brigitte going through a campaign by that conspiracy theorist, Candace Owens, they've both been under a tremendous amount of stress.

Speaker 2 But we want to be clear that what took place is not okay. And they will be donating a million dollars to the domestic violence organization, blah, blah, blah, quescouse, quescouse.

Speaker 2 And then you kind of, you button it up by, again,

Speaker 2 saying that Brigitte will check into rehab for 30 days. That's how you do PR.
That's how you do the PR that we're all used to. But they just went ahead and said, yeah, no, everything you saw is a lie.

Speaker 2 So if you're getting the feeling and you were like, hmm, I still have questions about becoming Brigitte. I never watched it.
You should dive in now because everything you're seeing will make sense.

Speaker 2 Now, regarding the philosophical questions that are being asked to me, I've never claimed to be Socrates or Plato. Should parents spank their kids in public? I say no.

Speaker 2 I don't think you should spank your kids in public. What if that kid also happens to be the 47 or 48-year-old president of France? Probably not.
Definitely then. You should not do that.
I would say.

Speaker 2 Now, some people are asking, should teachers discipline their pupils? Should we bring back it? Maybe. I don't know.
That seems to be what's going on here.

Speaker 2 And to be clear, I think everybody is just asking questions while we're still allowed to. We are just asking questions.

Speaker 2 What I can tell you guys, and again, this is going to be a shortened episode, obviously, because I am on maternity leave, is that there is so much more that is happening behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 I am, I feel I have to commit myself to doing a becoming Brigitte season two, because if you knew what I knew that I'm not allowed to tell you right now, your mind would blow. Your mind would blow.

Speaker 2 I'm telling you, Brigitte and Macron, Brigitte and Emmanuel, they're coming undone. And my series has been the undoing of them.

Speaker 2 They are doing the absolute most behind the scenes, trying to shut down any conversation because all the evidence is there. Something very demented has gone on in that relationship.

Speaker 2 Emmanuel Macron has never been the leader of France. Brigitte has groomed him from the time that he was a child.
They are still lying about everything. They're lying right now in court, by the way.

Speaker 2 They recently had a hearing. You know, they've been harassing that woman, Natasha Ray, who has cancer.
The woman is on welfare, and yet they've gone after her because she misspoke.

Speaker 2 And they wanted to be able to hang one person and say, look, we got her on defamation. If you followed the series, you know that she genuinely just misspoke.

Speaker 2 And they have been harassing this woman for years. And so now the appellate judges are looking at the case of Natasha Ray.

Speaker 2 And I am told that the magistrate, the judge went in, has a copy of Becoming Brigitte, held up a copy of Becoming Brigitte and said in that courtroom, why are you going after Natasha Ray?

Speaker 2 And I'm summarizing here.

Speaker 2 when you have not yet gone after Xavier Poussard and Candace Owens.

Speaker 2 Xavier Poussard, the author of Becoming Brigitte, and Candace Owens, the podcaster of the Becoming Brigitte series, have they yet been prosecuted?

Speaker 2 And at that time, Brigitte's lawyer, who is a man named Jean Enochi, this is him right here.

Speaker 2 That's, you know, John Enochi, if you will, in English. He says, I believe so.

Speaker 2 And the judge shoots back at him and says, what do you mean you believe so? You are the prosecutor in this case. Have Candace Owens and Xavier Poussard been prosecuted?

Speaker 2 because they said much more than Natasha Ray has said?

Speaker 2 And once again, John Inoki allegedly says right to the magistrate, I believe so. Unbelievable.
They are now lying under oath to judges. And so this tells you that it's all coming very undone.

Speaker 2 And the thing that I really wish I could tell you now, but I'm going to have to wait

Speaker 2 for reasons. And I promise you it would be well worth the wait

Speaker 2 indicates to me that, I don't know, this is, a, it's really bad for France. I think that Emmanuel Macron is going to have to step down.

Speaker 2 If I release what I know about Emmanuel Macron, he would have to step down. There's no question he would have to step down as a president of France.

Speaker 2 And maybe that's why people are saying that I should be the president of France.

Speaker 2 I saw a tweet where someone said that I'm one episode away from becoming the president of France. And I would accept that.
I would totally accept that duty.

Speaker 2 Anyways, you guys, I want to, yeah, this is it, Shane Cashman. Candace is like one video away from becoming the president of France.
Your tweets were hilarious as this video went viral.

Speaker 2 And yes, I have been the person ringing the alarm for the English-speaking world to recognize that something very dark is happening in France and has been happening. By the way, plausibly forever.

Speaker 2 Like, you know, since the French Revolution, there's been some weird sex stuff going on in France, and we should maybe be willing to have an open conversation about that stuff.

Speaker 2 And I'm willing to do it if I do a becoming Brigitte series two, which I think I will do. I will end this by saying no matter what, on that plane, there was clearly too much testosterone.

Speaker 2 And the audacity of a lie that was told thereafter is proof that, you know, Brigitte, at a bare minimum, definitely has balls. I'll say that.
Now, I want to throw it to our sponsors.

Speaker 2 First and foremost, pre-born. If you consider yourself pro-life, here's a wake-up call for you.
Despite the overturning of Roe, overall abortions have increased nearly 1% as of last year.

Speaker 2 Now, what does that look like? It translates to over 100,000 additional lives lost, totaling over an estimated 1 million unborn babies. Every one of these lives was precious.

Speaker 2 The Ministry of Pre-Born is on the front lines advocating for these beautiful souls who never had the chance to grow up.

Speaker 2 Pre-born's network of clinics are strategically located in the country's highest abortion areas. They're ready to support women making decisions about their babies' futures.

Speaker 2 Through compassionate, loving care, and free ultrasounds, Pre-Born helps women connect with the life that's growing inside of them.

Speaker 2 Because once they hear their baby's heartbeat, the baby's chance at life doubles. Last year alone, Pre-Born rescued over 67,000 babies.

Speaker 2 So please consider getting involved because your monthly support of $28 makes the mission possible. Life is sacred and life is eternal.

Speaker 2 So to donate, you can simply dial pound250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound250 baby.
Or you can visit preborn.com slash Candice. That's preborn.com slash Candace.

Speaker 2 Also, I always tell you guys about American financing because inflation is eating away at everything, gas, groceries, home repairs.

Speaker 2 And if you're a homeowner, you've probably thought, should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt?

Speaker 2 And you may be second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you are currently enjoying.

Speaker 2 Well, that low rate is not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest rates that are at 25% or more. That's the math that no one wants you to face, but it is costing you thousands.

Speaker 2 Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years.

Speaker 2 That's why people are calling American Financing because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt.

Speaker 2 You owe it to your family to see what's possible. There's no upfront fees.
There's no pressure. It costs you absolutely nothing to find out what you could be saving every month.

Speaker 2 And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. So call American Financing today.
Number is 800-795-1210. Again, that's 800-795-1210.

Speaker 2 Or you can simply visit americanfinancing.net/slash owens. Americanfinancing.net slash owens.
Okay, like I said, this is going to be a shortened episode. So I'm going to jump now to your comments.

Speaker 2 We usually go 45 minutes. We're going to do just a little over half an hour today.
I am dying to see what you guys think about all this.

Speaker 2 Dre Harden writes, the whole internet was waiting on Candace to drop this. I was.
People were inundating me with tech messages, going like, what? This maternity leave is just officially over.

Speaker 2 Everyone is just doing the most. It's like they waited for me to have this baby.
Maybe they felt it was a safe time, a safe time for them to do the absolute most.

Speaker 2 But here I am back commenting on all of these things. Misty writes, you know, Will Smith is taking a sigh of relief right now.
He's no longer the smack that was heard around the world.

Speaker 2 Well, I would like to be, I'd like to revisit that. I think Will Smith was decompressing.
I think he, that's just how some people maybe decompress, if that's what we are calling it.

Speaker 2 Sarah is here, writes, I can't imagine ever putting hands on my husband's face and shoving him backwards. Yikes, I know.
That's what's so crazy is to call this joking around. This is inappropriate.

Speaker 2 I don't care if you adjust the ages and it's not a senior citizen involved, which is weird. Why are we going at grandpas and grandma, grandpas, and grandmas doing those sorts of things?

Speaker 2 But if we remove all of that, I think my relationship with my husband, I would never in a million years hit his face. I mean, that's just crazy to just shove his face.

Speaker 2 Again, this reminds me of stuff I saw in public school. When guys start fights, they're like, you know, something disrespectful to the face.
And then there's the cafeteria. Oh,

Speaker 2 and then now they both have to square up and they have to fight because the embarrassing cafeteria.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, we were, we were the media that was waiting outside the plane, the people that were in the cafeterias in middle school before fights broke out.

Speaker 2 Sarah Grace writes, Russia gets blamed for so much. It's crazy.
It's weird. It's no matter what, if all else fails, blame Russia.
She continues, I can't just imagine.

Speaker 2 I can just imagine it's a running joke there. Also, neither of them look like they were in a joking mood, but really, how else can they try to spin it? He definitely hit them.

Speaker 2 And if the door had not opened, who knows how it would have escalated. That is so true.
And I'm sure that pilot has seen way too much. If you've got to fly around, those two.
So weird, so demented.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 a joking mood. Yeah, we joked.
We were just joshing around. And then afterwards, I had my fist like Arthur.
And Brigitte didn't want to touch me.

Speaker 2 Like, yeah, everyone knows after a good joking session, you don't even want to touch or look at your spouse. Are you kidding me? It's like I said, so foolish.
But this, I guess, this worked.

Speaker 2 In the time that Brigitte was coming up, this kind of a media strategy worked. The media was the authority.
There was no independent media.

Speaker 2 They probably could have had the taped removed back in the day and no one would have ever seen it. So yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 Shannon Smith writes, we are going to need a part two series of Becoming Brigitte. Yeah, I agree.
And like I said, when I drop what I know, it's over for the presidential couple.

Speaker 2 And I know they're watching right now, and I probably shouldn't say that because they're going to come for me.

Speaker 2 But they're probably going to send me a fifth. strongly worded letter or something.
And John Anoki is going to, again, lie like he did and say that they didn't receive our questions back.

Speaker 2 Are you a man? Circle yes or no? And I will report the truth. And they declined to do so, answer our basic questions because John Anoki is clearly a liar.
And they're all liars. They just lie so much.

Speaker 2 It's crazy that they are allowed to be in the office anymore. with the lies that they have told and the people that they have threatened and the journalists that they have gone after.

Speaker 2 The whole world is watching France right now. It's not going to last much longer in my viewpoint.
PQ writes, notice the lady in yellow turn quick after that slap. Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 2 I don't, I don't think that she's, she's, I think she's from the airport, right? She's probably the person from the tarmac.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure exactly the role there, but the vest indicates that she was definitely on the runway.

Speaker 2 But I don't, I don't know if she saw it or was and was uncomfortable. Do it again.
Let's run that again. Of the young woman coming out of the plane.
Yeah, so she's there. He opens it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I do think she saw that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, she's just a little uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 Tucks the hair behind the ear. She's like, I am going to mind my own business.
French people are crazy. People in the West are crazy.
Indeed.

Speaker 2 Catlock writes, the emotional damage that man felt was visible to all of us. God bless you and your family, Candace.
We are lucky to have you.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, I'm trying to leave you guys, you know, I'm trying, but you are drawing me back every time.

Speaker 2 This is like a toxic relationship that I have with you guys because the media is doing the most. Everything is going on while I'm on maternity leave.
And I can't, I just cannot quit you guys.

Speaker 2 That's what's happening. Brief reminder for you guys that are in our book club.
