[00:00:00] Welcome back to Candace everyone. My [00:00:02] name is Ian Carol and welcome to the [00:00:03] first episode where I'll be filling in [00:00:05] for Candace while she spends time with [00:00:06] Baby Roman. Later on, we'll have updates [00:00:08] on Candace and Baby Roman and a crazy [00:00:11] story of her hospital being evil. Also, [00:00:14] Trump goes after Big Pharma. Diddy [00:00:15] starts his trial and claims the [00:00:17] freakoffs were all consensual. And the [00:00:19] internet is losing its mind over [00:00:20] Mcronone and his buddies allegedly [00:00:23] getting caught with a baggie of coke. [00:00:25] But first, a scandal that started at [00:00:27] kids birthday parties at Urban Air [00:00:29] Adventure parks is blowing up in a [00:00:31] massive way. And one mom who spent the [00:00:34] last 3 years fighting against a [00:00:35] multi-billion dollar private equity [00:00:37] monster is about to top of the whole [00:00:39] house of cards. All that and more right [00:00:42] now on Candace. [00:00:48] [Applause] [00:00:52] [Music] [00:00:58] So, imagine you're a mom or a dad and [00:01:01] you want to take your kids to the [00:01:03] adventure park for a fun day, maybe a [00:01:04] birthday party, right? Um, that's where [00:01:06] today's story starts with a young girl, [00:01:09] 7 years old, being taken by her parents [00:01:11] to Urban Air Adventure Park. And [00:01:15] they were expecting just a normal day. [00:01:17] They were expecting a wonderful day with [00:01:19] their kid. And if you've ever been to [00:01:21] Urban Air, you would know that there's [00:01:23] all kinds of crazy things for the kids [00:01:25] to do. And theoretically, their staff [00:01:27] kind of helping keep them safe, helping [00:01:28] run the rides. And this little girl teed [00:01:32] up to get on one of the most popular [00:01:35] rides at Urban Air. Um, we have video [00:01:37] from that day. Ready? Go. [00:01:44] You got it. [00:01:46] [Music] [00:01:52] Now, this is called the Sky Rider [00:01:54] attraction, and it's going to play a big [00:01:56] part in today's story. But I just wanted [00:01:59] to jump in really quickly and give you a [00:02:00] disclaimer that the next part of this [00:02:02] clip is pretty traumatic, and it doesn't [00:02:04] show anything extremely graphic, but if [00:02:06] you're a parent or you have young kids, [00:02:08] this is going to be very hard to watch [00:02:10] and listen to because they were not [00:02:12] expecting their day to go like this. [00:02:18] Are you okay? [00:02:21] Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you [00:02:24] okay? [00:02:27] Are you okay? Somebody call 911 now. So [00:02:32] that little girl unfortunately suffered [00:02:34] a punctured lung, um a traumatic brain [00:02:36] injury, broken bones, and permanent [00:02:39] disability including learning deficits, [00:02:41] hearing loss, and uh her injuries are [00:02:43] still um uncertain and sustained to this [00:02:46] day. They have been in secret [00:02:49] arbitration up until right now. And um [00:02:54] this is just one poor little girl's [00:02:57] story at Urban Air. But unfortunately, [00:02:59] it is very much not the only story like [00:03:03] this. And today I wanted to tell you a [00:03:07] story about Urban Air because Urban Air [00:03:10] is a very small piece of a very big [00:03:12] picture. And it starts with a man named [00:03:16] Michael Browning. In 2011, he founds [00:03:18] this company called Urban Air. And it's [00:03:21] an adventure park, right? and he's [00:03:23] growing urban air adventure parks um you [00:03:27] know with the goal of being a big shot [00:03:28] like his dad I would presume. He [00:03:31] eventually in 2018 gets a whole bunch of [00:03:32] private equity funding and expands his [00:03:36] business rapidly all around the United [00:03:38] States from 45 parks at the time up well [00:03:41] over a hundred. They initially got [00:03:43] investment from Ross Perau's private [00:03:46] equity firm, MPK Partners, and they took [00:03:50] them from just a small business in the [00:03:53] Indianapolis area to a nationwide chain [00:03:57] and they started franchising. [00:04:00] Franchising allowed Michael Browning Jr. [00:04:02] to expand this business out and allow [00:04:04] other people to buy into his franchise [00:04:07] and to have urban airs opening all [00:04:09] around the country and to have those [00:04:12] businesses opened by local people that [00:04:15] wanted to change their lives and their [00:04:16] community by starting a business and [00:04:18] buying into the urban air franchise. [00:04:20] This is the story of franchising and it [00:04:22] is the bedrock of the American economy [00:04:26] in a lot of ways because it's a found [00:04:27] fundamental way that people start a [00:04:30] business and not only change their own [00:04:33] lives and their famil family's lives but [00:04:34] also elevate their community. [00:04:36] Franchising unfortunately has taken a [00:04:39] pretty dark turn in the last 10 years. [00:04:41] And we are going to come back to that [00:04:42] theme over and over and over again [00:04:44] throughout this story because as Urban [00:04:47] Air expanded, [00:04:49] lawsuits started to flood in because of [00:04:52] the way that things were being done. And [00:04:54] Michael Browning has had some choice [00:04:56] words that are posted on his website to [00:04:57] say about those lawsuits. But as we dig [00:05:00] this story open, you'll see that Michael [00:05:02] Browning's words are, "Well, I'll just [00:05:05] read them for you." Quote, "This is not [00:05:07] a franchise where I'm sitting back at my [00:05:09] desk in some ivory tower and collecting [00:05:11] royalties and teaching you a theory. I'm [00:05:14] in the trenches experiencing what the [00:05:16] franchises are experiencing." That is [00:05:18] huge for our core and our motto. [00:05:21] Right on, Michael. Um, good to know. [00:05:25] It's also good to know that let's just [00:05:27] say we have documentation that seems to [00:05:29] imply that that sky rider attraction, [00:05:32] that zipline type of thing that that [00:05:34] poor girl fell off of, that was not [00:05:37] originally created by Urban Air. Um, and [00:05:41] there's documentation that seems to [00:05:42] imply that in fact, Michael Browning Jr. [00:05:46] uh shall we say filed patents after [00:05:49] signing a confidentiality agreement um [00:05:52] with the original company that founded [00:05:53] it, Leap of Faith Adventures. If you [00:05:56] search the internet for Leap of Faith [00:05:57] Adventures today, you will find just [00:06:00] about nothing because Leap of Faith [00:06:02] Adventures no longer exists. And that's [00:06:04] a another dig for another time. But [00:06:07] let's just say that the emails, [00:06:09] correspondences, and documentation that [00:06:11] we have kind of implies what might have [00:06:13] happened to Leap of Faith Adventures. [00:06:15] Because when you're founding a national [00:06:18] chain of adventure parks, you need all [00:06:19] kinds of cool rides and attractions and [00:06:21] stuff for the kids to do like rock walls [00:06:23] and zip lines and crazy trampoline spin [00:06:26] around tumblers and stuff like that. And [00:06:29] it sounds pretty dangerous because it [00:06:31] can be, right? And when you take your [00:06:32] kid out to a park like that, you're [00:06:34] expecting them to be providing the [00:06:36] safety so that your kids can have a fun, [00:06:38] safe time out. Once Michael Browning Jr. [00:06:42] had expanded his empire of trampoline [00:06:45] and adventure parks all around the [00:06:47] nation, he realized that he was on to [00:06:49] something and he could expand and do [00:06:51] even more. So following a trend that is [00:06:54] rampant in private equity right now, in [00:06:56] 2021, Browning decided to scale up [00:06:59] following a hot new trend in private [00:07:00] equity that gets referred to as [00:07:02] platforms where they will buy up [00:07:06] different companies that are in the same [00:07:07] niche in the same sector. So that if you [00:07:11] wanted to fix up your house, they've got [00:07:14] AC people, they've got cleaning people, [00:07:16] they've got painting people. This is [00:07:18] just one example, but it happens in all [00:07:19] sorts of different areas of our economy. [00:07:22] And Michael Browning Jr. decided that he [00:07:26] was going to take on the niche that was [00:07:28] all things children. Why not apply the [00:07:31] private equity playbook of cutting [00:07:34] costs, streamlining businesses, and [00:07:36] maximizing profits to all businesses [00:07:40] children. [00:07:42] So that's what he did. and he bought up [00:07:44] a number of businesses in rapid [00:07:46] succession with backing from his private [00:07:48] equity buddies including Silven Learning [00:07:50] Centers, Water Wings, Snapology, XP [00:07:52] League, Class 101, Premier Martial Arts, [00:07:55] and The Little Gym. But among all [00:07:57] brands, it has 1,200 locations across [00:08:00] the country and serves 25 million [00:08:02] children a year. It generates 1.1 [00:08:04] billion in annual revenue. Michael [00:08:07] Browning Jr. seems to be doing pretty [00:08:09] good. But problems started to arise as [00:08:13] they acquired each of these companies. [00:08:14] And they didn't start with the little [00:08:16] gym. But our story starts at the little [00:08:18] gym today. Founded originally by Robin [00:08:20] West and Robin McCoy. And I just want to [00:08:22] show you their faces cuz I get the [00:08:24] feeling we'll come back to them in the [00:08:26] future. [00:08:27] But the story really comes to a head [00:08:30] when Tiffany enters the picture. And [00:08:32] Tiffany Ciance bought into this [00:08:34] franchise as a mom that was doing other [00:08:37] business and wanted to spend more time [00:08:39] with her kids around 2017. And so she [00:08:41] thought that buying one of these [00:08:42] franchises would be a great service to [00:08:44] her community and a great way to spend [00:08:46] more time with her kids because her kids [00:08:48] could attend the Little Gym. And if [00:08:50] you've not been to the Little Gym, it's [00:08:51] a space for children of all types, but [00:08:54] particularly targeted children that have [00:08:56] special types of needs, whether that be [00:08:57] auditory, sensory, learning, cognitive, [00:09:00] whatever. It's a gym for all types of [00:09:01] children to do gymnastics and learn [00:09:04] through physical movement. And Tiffany [00:09:06] Siance really found her passion there. [00:09:08] We're going to be drawing from news [00:09:10] reporting and articles that have [00:09:12] reported on Tiffany's story over the [00:09:13] last 3 years as it has gotten crazy. And [00:09:17] just recently, it's gone to a whole new [00:09:19] level as cases against Urban Air and the [00:09:23] parent company Unleash Brands have moved [00:09:25] from secret arbitration into public [00:09:28] court. as well as since Tiffany Ciance [00:09:30] and several other insiders have decided [00:09:33] that enough is enough and it's time to [00:09:34] come clean. Sianci started back in 2017 [00:09:38] and all was gravy. It was a wonderful [00:09:40] time and a wonderful business for her to [00:09:42] run and she was very successful at it. [00:09:45] But then [00:09:46] right around the buyout with Unleash [00:09:49] Brands, corporate came down to her and [00:09:51] said, "Hey, we have this new advising [00:09:53] partner and they're going to help us [00:09:54] with this new stuff." and they were [00:09:56] presented as though they were just going [00:09:58] to advise them. Slowly, little by [00:10:00] little, it became apparent to Ciance and [00:10:02] the rest of the staff that this was not [00:10:04] an adviser. This was a buyout. And the [00:10:07] buyout was Unleash Brands. And the [00:10:08] adviser they were speaking to was [00:10:10] Michael Browning Jr. himself. Suffice to [00:10:12] say that Cianci and many of the other [00:10:14] franchise owners were uncomfortable with [00:10:17] the various changes that were being [00:10:18] made. The types of changes that would [00:10:20] separate the people running these gyms [00:10:23] from their clients. things like call [00:10:24] centers where when a parent calls with a [00:10:26] concern about their child, they get a [00:10:29] person in a call center halfway across [00:10:30] the country instead of the actual [00:10:32] teachers that work with their child [00:10:34] every day. You can see how that could be [00:10:35] a little bit of an issue when you're [00:10:36] dealing with special needs kids doing [00:10:38] gymnastics. But that's not really how [00:10:40] private equity plays. So Ciance [00:10:43] organized her fellow franchise owners [00:10:45] into an association sort of like a union [00:10:47] to push back against the changes and to [00:10:49] stand up for the franchisee rights. Just [00:10:51] to clarify, a franchisee is the person [00:10:54] that founded the small business, the [00:10:55] owner of the franchise. The franchiseor [00:10:59] is the big boys, the corporates, Michael [00:11:01] Browning Jr. in this case. Over the next [00:11:05] three years, and to this day, Unleash [00:11:08] Brands took Tiffany Cianci through legal [00:11:13] uh [00:11:14] Can I say hell? Yeah, you say hell. [00:11:16] Cool. [00:11:18] Over the next three years, Unleash [00:11:20] Brands took Tiffany Siance through legal [00:11:23] hell, dragging her into hundreds of [00:11:25] thousands of debt, through untold [00:11:27] emotional and financial hardships, [00:11:29] through the most insane journey of just [00:11:32] outright unethical, unlawful lawfare. [00:11:36] This is not unique to Tiffany or unique [00:11:38] to Unleash Brands or unique to the [00:11:40] Little Gym. Franchises are all across [00:11:43] America and they are all kinds of [00:11:45] businesses that support a huge sector of [00:11:47] our economy and franchises in particular [00:11:50] are in the crosshairs of private equity [00:11:52] today because they can be so incredibly [00:11:55] profitable for reasons that we will go [00:11:56] into. Suffice it to say, when you are [00:11:59] outsourcing so much of your business [00:12:01] cost, debt, and the actual running of [00:12:03] your day-to-day business to individual [00:12:06] people, to families, and small business [00:12:07] owners, you can offload a lot of risk [00:12:10] and a lot of the hardship and just suck [00:12:12] all the money up to the top. Tiffany has [00:12:16] been in arbitration, which is a secret [00:12:19] court system where all the rules work [00:12:22] differently, all the judges work [00:12:23] differently, everything is for profit, [00:12:24] and everything is secret by definition. [00:12:27] She's been in arbitration for the last 3 [00:12:29] years and [00:12:31] we have now got information through her [00:12:34] and others that there are many many [00:12:37] other people, we're talking hundreds of [00:12:39] other people in arbitration just with [00:12:40] Unleash Brands, let alone with other [00:12:42] private equity and other corporations [00:12:44] around the world. The big picture [00:12:46] problem with this whole story is not [00:12:49] just that private equity is buying up [00:12:52] and taking advantage of small [00:12:53] businesses. Not just that private equity [00:12:55] is applying the private equity playbook [00:12:58] to these businesses that are focused on [00:13:00] kids, mind you, but that those practices [00:13:03] that private equity uses are inherently [00:13:07] counter to safety. Tiffany gave this [00:13:10] quote to the New York Times. That might [00:13:12] be okay when you're cleaning a dryer [00:13:13] vent, but it's not when you're throwing [00:13:15] around a 4-month-old and you need them [00:13:17] to be safe. Missy said he was moving [00:13:20] faster than we would need to get to know [00:13:21] the business. referring to the changes [00:13:23] happening at the little gym. And the key [00:13:25] word there is safe. And as the clip that [00:13:27] we open the segment shows, safety is [00:13:30] obviously not the first thing on the [00:13:33] mind of Unleash Brands and of Urban Air. [00:13:37] But that is just one video and there are [00:13:40] many other videos from Urban Air. Again, [00:13:43] we are going to blur out the most [00:13:45] sensitive parts of these videos, but we [00:13:46] just wanted to get you a sense of what [00:13:48] you can find just on YouTube. Um, if you [00:13:51] go searching for this type of stuff, [00:13:53] Florida family is suing after their son [00:13:55] fell from a zipline at an amusement [00:13:57] park. A word of warning, the video may [00:13:59] be disturbing to some viewers. Now, you [00:14:01] can see the 10-year-old come around the [00:14:03] corner and then fall 20 ft from the [00:14:05] zipline. The accident happened in [00:14:07] September at Urban Air Trampoline and [00:14:09] Adventure Park in Lakeland. An [00:14:11] investigation by the Florida Department [00:14:13] of Agriculture found the boy's harness [00:14:15] was not properly secured at the time of [00:14:18] the incident. Urban Air says the [00:14:20] employees involved in the incident don't [00:14:22] work there anymore and others have been [00:14:24] retrained. So there's examples of kids [00:14:27] falling, but there's also examples of [00:14:29] adults and parents getting hurt. In the [00:14:31] next video, a mom almost died in front [00:14:33] of her own daughter at their birthday [00:14:35] party. The video is shocking. [00:14:38] A mom is hanging by her neck, helpless [00:14:40] as she finds herself trapped on an [00:14:43] indoor zipline. Time is running out. [00:14:45] She's in real danger of choking to [00:14:47] death. It happened after she says the [00:14:49] harness apparently came loose and [00:14:52] slipped around her neck. It seemed as if [00:14:54] they put the harness incorrectly. [00:14:57] Instead of strapping it under my arms, [00:15:00] it seemed as if they strapped it up [00:15:02] here. She suffered rope burns and [00:15:04] bruises around her neck. Evelyn Rapier [00:15:06] is now suing the park, alleging [00:15:08] negligence and improper maintenance of [00:15:11] the ride. And so when things like this [00:15:13] happen, the park gets sued, which is [00:15:16] owned by a small business owner, but [00:15:18] they're just trying to comply with [00:15:19] corporate. Corporate Unleash Brands [00:15:22] pushes all responsibility down onto the [00:15:24] park. And anything else that they can't [00:15:26] wash away gets filed away into secret [00:15:29] arbitration, and you agree to secret [00:15:31] arbitration when you sign your kid in at [00:15:34] the park when you sign those waivers. [00:15:36] Cuz if you didn't know, almost every [00:15:38] waiver you sign these days, whether [00:15:40] you're going to the rock climbing gym or [00:15:42] you're signing up for some swimming [00:15:44] lesson or you're just buying a washing [00:15:46] machine, almost all of those waiverss [00:15:49] include what's called an arbitration [00:15:50] agreement. And that is where you agree [00:15:52] to wave your rights to court and instead [00:15:56] agree to settle in arbitration, which is [00:15:59] essentially secret court where the [00:16:01] judges are all for sale. We're going to [00:16:03] get into arbitration way more in coming [00:16:05] episodes, but suffice to say that it's a [00:16:08] great way to cover up all sorts of [00:16:11] nefarious stuff [00:16:13] if you don't want the public to know. [00:16:15] You might have noticed, too, that the [00:16:17] woman in that video made purposeful note [00:16:19] that the harness didn't seem to be put [00:16:21] on correctly. And that's because these [00:16:23] rides are not staffed correctly because [00:16:26] a Urban Air hires children under the age [00:16:29] of 18, 16 and 17 year olds. And you [00:16:34] would think that you'd need a couple of [00:16:35] them to staff these rides, but there's [00:16:38] documentation that seems to show that [00:16:40] quote, "Michael discussed reducing the [00:16:43] number of attendants from two to one on [00:16:44] the Sky Rider attraction, stating that [00:16:46] eliminating an employee from an [00:16:48] attraction can save a park $10,000 per [00:16:50] year. That very same weekend in Awatuki, [00:16:53] the Sky Rider attraction had one [00:16:55] employee working when a major accident [00:16:57] occurred. In LFA's opinion, this [00:17:00] short-term cost segment mentality is a [00:17:02] major concern. You might notice LOFA is [00:17:04] Leap of Faith Adventures. The company [00:17:06] that I had mentioned had originally [00:17:08] designed this ride. The company that I [00:17:10] had mentioned, it appeared that maybe [00:17:13] Unleash Brands and Michael Browning Jr. [00:17:15] might have done something nefarious to [00:17:17] take that patent and that attraction [00:17:20] from Leap of Faith Adventures. And now [00:17:22] Leap of Faith Adventures is [00:17:24] unfortunately no more. But this document [00:17:27] as well as several others that we have [00:17:28] are actually from when Leap of Faith [00:17:31] Adventures took them to court because [00:17:33] they were not okay with what was being [00:17:34] done with their rides, the ways they [00:17:36] were being set up, the ways they were [00:17:38] being run, and they made specific claims [00:17:40] about what was going on. That's not to [00:17:42] mention that there's evidence that seems [00:17:44] to suggest [00:17:45] both human testimony as well as email [00:17:48] testimony that Unleash Brands was flying [00:17:51] in Chinese nationals to put together [00:17:54] their adventure parks because it was [00:17:55] cheaper than paying American labor. you [00:17:58] know, doesn't really strike me as the [00:18:02] kind of thing that's safe when you're [00:18:03] putting together all sorts of rides and [00:18:06] dangerous equipment that children are [00:18:08] going to be playing on, but it is [00:18:10] cheaper. I'll give him that. So, [00:18:14] what Tiffany Ciance and all of the other [00:18:17] franchises at the Little Gym have been [00:18:19] through has been horrendous. It has been [00:18:22] a multi-year process of intimidation and [00:18:26] of coercion and of uh very complicated [00:18:30] changes to their businesses that do not [00:18:31] benefit them or their children. At least [00:18:34] that's how they see it. But [00:18:37] there's a darker and deeper side of the [00:18:40] story and that's when you start to [00:18:41] realize that private equity is a team. [00:18:45] It's a club and they are all friends [00:18:47] together and none of them really want [00:18:50] the boat to be rocked. And so when [00:18:52] Tiffany started rocking the boat, when [00:18:54] Tiffany stood up to these people and [00:18:56] organized with her other franchises and [00:18:59] then when she wouldn't go away and be [00:19:01] silenced, they decided that they were [00:19:03] going to make an example out of her. And [00:19:05] they have done a number of things over [00:19:08] the years, things that are almost [00:19:11] unspeakable. [00:19:12] And we don't have time to speak of all [00:19:14] of them because there are so many. But [00:19:17] perhaps the most unspeakable or at least [00:19:19] the most uh inhumane that was done to [00:19:22] Tiffany was captured in court during one [00:19:25] of her depositions. And [00:19:28] I'm going to let her speak for herself, [00:19:30] but I do want you to know that this is [00:19:32] going to be hard to watch, especially if [00:19:33] you're a mother. Um, but this is what [00:19:36] happened to Tiffany Siance. might also [00:19:38] say that there are very likely [00:19:41] instances of significant emotional [00:19:43] distress related to somebody trying to [00:19:45] expedite me having an abortion the day I [00:19:47] lost my daughter. Are you seeking that [00:19:50] here in this case? [00:19:53] I would say yes. And again, are you [00:19:57] talking to the recent miscarriage where [00:19:59] uh the parties worked with you to to [00:20:01] reschedule your deposition? [00:20:03] Worked with me? You tried to depose me [00:20:06] in labor. [00:20:07] You tried to depose me while I was in [00:20:10] bed bleeding. [00:20:12] I had contractions two minutes apart. [00:20:16] So, no, I would not say you worked with [00:20:18] me. [00:20:20] I would say it was vulgar and inhuman. I [00:20:23] was copied on the emails where you asked [00:20:26] that I be compelled. [00:20:28] I was copied on the email where you [00:20:30] asked that I make sure that I had the [00:20:32] fastest abortion possible when my [00:20:35] doctor's note said that I was Catholic [00:20:37] and meeting with my priest to avoid it. [00:20:41] I was certainly copied when you said [00:20:44] you, Miss Sixkiller, said that you [00:20:47] thought that me bleeding baseballized [00:20:50] baseball-sized blood clots and having [00:20:53] contractions 2 minutes apart wouldn't be [00:20:55] too stressful for me. in that state and [00:20:58] you thought I should be deposed for 18 [00:21:00] hours. This is 2 weeks later and I am [00:21:02] still having contractions and I'm [00:21:04] sitting here so that I don't have to see [00:21:06] you again. So yes, I would say I was [00:21:09] copied and it was harmful. We would have [00:21:11] moved the hearing date out further to [00:21:13] further accommodate you. So I apologize. [00:21:16] I apologize. No, that's not true. That [00:21:18] is not true. When you found out I lost [00:21:21] my baby within 30 minutes of getting the [00:21:23] note, 30 minutes of getting the note, [00:21:26] you said you wanted me produced for [00:21:28] deposition in labor pre-surgery. I'm [00:21:30] going to strike. And then you said that [00:21:34] you wanted him to order me to have the [00:21:36] fastest available procedure in the state [00:21:38] of Maryland. And if you'd been in court, [00:21:40] you would have been referred for [00:21:41] disciplinary action, but we're in [00:21:43] arbitration. So, here we are, Miss. And [00:21:45] yes, it was a damage emotionally to me. [00:21:48] And I think I'm pretty sure you're a [00:21:50] mom. It would have been emotionally [00:21:52] damaging to you. [00:21:54] So that's where we wound up. All because [00:21:58] Michael Browning Jr. wanted to be a big [00:22:00] boy like his daddy and run a giant [00:22:04] empire of children's focused franchises. [00:22:08] And when those franchises spoke up and [00:22:11] said that this is not how you run a [00:22:14] toddler gym, this is not how you run a [00:22:16] martial arts academy, they stomped down. [00:22:19] The problem was they stomped down on the [00:22:22] wrong woman. And Tiffany would not give [00:22:24] up and would not die and she is still [00:22:26] fighting to this day. And by the way, [00:22:28] those email chains that she mentioned, [00:22:30] yeah, we got them and they're all right [00:22:33] there. And yes, they do clearly say [00:22:35] exactly what Tiffany was alleging on [00:22:38] that stand in that deposition. And a [00:22:40] running theme throughout this whole [00:22:41] thing will be that when you're in [00:22:44] arbitration, [00:22:46] let's just say there's not really [00:22:47] consequences for lying as long as you're [00:22:49] on the team of the big boys. There's not [00:22:51] really consequences for your lawyers not [00:22:53] following the law, for the judges not [00:22:55] following the law, because it's all a [00:22:57] system for profit and it's all being [00:22:59] paid for. And one team has millions and [00:23:01] millions and millions of dollars to [00:23:03] throw out the lawsuit. And the other [00:23:05] team is guaranteed to go hundreds of [00:23:07] thousands of dollars into debt until [00:23:09] they can't fight anymore and are forced [00:23:11] to give up and give in. [00:23:14] But Tiffany took to Tik Tok a few years [00:23:17] ago and I found her story way back then [00:23:20] early on and she has been fighting ever [00:23:23] since and she's fought all alone for [00:23:25] much of it. But eventually she grew a [00:23:27] little bit of support and a little bit [00:23:28] more and a little bit more and she's won [00:23:30] enough of her cases, including a [00:23:31] defamation suit by now that now there's [00:23:34] all of this new documentation coming [00:23:36] out. Almost everything that we've shown [00:23:37] today has never been out before. And [00:23:39] there is way more where that came from. [00:23:41] And there are way more people involved [00:23:42] in this thing ready to talk about it [00:23:44] because this goes not just all across [00:23:47] Unleash Brands and throughout many of [00:23:49] their businesses, but this goes well [00:23:51] beyond Unleash Brands out into the [00:23:53] entire private equity world. Because [00:23:54] when you give billionaire businesses [00:23:57] like these private equity monsters sort [00:23:59] of a free reign to stomp all over the [00:24:02] little guy, you better believe they're [00:24:04] going to take that opportunity and run [00:24:05] all the way to the bank with it. And [00:24:07] they've been running to the bank with it [00:24:08] for so long that let's just say the [00:24:12] little guys have had enough. So [00:24:15] that is where Tiffany stands today. She [00:24:19] is currently in court and there's a lot [00:24:21] more to talk about as far as what's [00:24:23] going on there. But we just heard just [00:24:28] recently that one of these secret [00:24:30] arbitrations because all of these cases [00:24:32] of children getting hurt uh falling off [00:24:34] of rides at the adventure park as well [00:24:37] as Tiffany's entire case in secret [00:24:40] arbitration about her toddler gym. All [00:24:42] of it's in secret. And so none of them [00:24:44] could speak up until just recently. And [00:24:46] so all these guys, the team over at [00:24:51] Unleash Brands, Michael Browning Senior, [00:24:54] who is not just Daddy, he's on some of [00:24:56] those filings, Norman Leon, Michael [00:24:58] Browning Jr., Laura Sixkiller, Steven [00:24:59] Polizola, all these guys that are [00:25:00] written on all these forms, that are [00:25:02] involved in all these depositions that [00:25:04] are on these cases, [00:25:06] they're going to come back up and um [00:25:08] we're just going to look at what they [00:25:09] did and what they're doing and see why [00:25:11] would you do that. because ultimately [00:25:14] you should stay away from our toddlers [00:25:15] and you should stay away from our little [00:25:16] gyms. And we want our kids to grow up in [00:25:19] a place where they can be treated like [00:25:21] children and not like numbers for [00:25:22] profit. So that's the start of that [00:25:25] story for now. That's all we got for [00:25:26] today. Before we get to an update about [00:25:28] Candace and the hospital and how it all [00:25:30] went with baby Roman, I want to tell you [00:25:31] about our first sponsor, Gnoland. If [00:25:34] you're into the world of computer [00:25:35] programming, you need to check out my [00:25:37] friends at gno.land.

What if I told you that you could [00:26:38] cut your cell phone bill in half and [00:26:40] support a US company who shares your [00:26:42] values? Values like supporting our local [00:26:44] veterans and creating American jobs. [00:26:46] What if I told you that you don't have [00:26:47] to sacrifice coverage because you'll be [00:26:49] on America's most dependable 5G network. [00:26:52] I'm talking about the only wireless [00:26:53] company that Candace endorses, Pure [00:26:55] Talk, a wireless company that is [00:26:56] veteranled and invests in a US customer [00:26:59] service team so that you have the best [00:27:01] support possible.

The average [00:27:09] family saves over a thousand dollars a [00:27:11] year when they switch to Pure Talk. [00:27:13] Switch in as little as 10 minutes when [00:27:15] you go to puretalk.com/owens [00:27:17] with plans starting at just 25 bucks a [00:27:19] month. What are you waiting for? Go to [00:27:21] puretalk.com/owens [00:27:23] and make the switch to pure talk [00:27:25] wireless by Americans for Americans. So, [00:27:28] a brief update from the hospital. [00:27:30] Candace gave birth to a beautiful, [00:27:32] healthy baby boy, Roman. Could not be [00:27:34] happier for her. We're all feeling so [00:27:37] good. She is doing well. I just talked [00:27:39] to her earlier. Baby Roman is doing [00:27:41] great. And they are back from the [00:27:43] hospital. But there was a funny incident [00:27:45] after the hospital because Candace [00:27:47] naturally after he had a healthy baby [00:27:48] and she was feeling great, she left [00:27:50] before the recommended 48 hour uh [00:27:54] holding time. Not sure why they need you [00:27:56] to stay there for 48 hours and take all [00:27:58] their little medicines and get all their [00:27:59] ointments that they prescribe. [00:28:01] Obviously, she did not give baby Roman [00:28:03] all these, you know, shots like [00:28:05] hepatitis B, vitamin K, is that all [00:28:08] these things. Uh, Department of Child [00:28:10] Services shows up at her house doing a [00:28:12] more or less a wellness visit, asking [00:28:14] her all sorts of questions. Why did you [00:28:16] leave the hospital early? And she wanted [00:28:19] to clarify when she was communicating [00:28:20] the story to us that the person that [00:28:22] visited was perfectly nice and just [00:28:24] doing their job. But they were doing the [00:28:25] job of going out and more or less [00:28:28] pressuring mothers into you should have [00:28:31] getting these things and you why are you [00:28:32] leaving? And it just is a part of this [00:28:35] whole pharmaceutical medical complex [00:28:37] cartel of pressuring people into getting [00:28:39] the drugs, getting the shots, getting [00:28:41] the vaccines. And Candace obviously [00:28:44] being based was like, "No thanks. Bye. [00:28:47] I'm doing great. Go away." So Candace [00:28:49] will be back at some point to give us [00:28:51] updates, to tell us how she's doing. um [00:28:53] she'll jump into the show from time to [00:28:54] time while she's on leave, but she's [00:28:56] doing awesome and she says hi to all of [00:28:58] you. So, next on to the Diddy trial. [00:29:01] Yesterday, the Diddy trial got underway [00:29:03] to a slightly late start. Um the jury [00:29:05] got sworn in, opening statements were [00:29:07] read, funny anecdote where the [00:29:10] prosecution struck seven black jurors. [00:29:12] Um and the defense was trying to call [00:29:14] them racist and it became this whole [00:29:16] thing. Ultimately, the judge sustained [00:29:18] their motion to strike those jurors. Um [00:29:20] you know, I'm not trying to make a [00:29:21] comment on that. I just thought it was [00:29:22] funny the way that it got reported on. [00:29:24] Um, but then it turned out that victim [00:29:28] three, unknown, we don't know who it is, [00:29:30] but victim 3 apparently is missing. Um, [00:29:33] just a few weeks ago, victim three came [00:29:36] forward or didn't didn't come forward, [00:29:38] but said that they were willing to [00:29:39] testify in the trial. Um, and though we [00:29:42] don't know who it is, it's obviously was [00:29:44] important to the the case because they [00:29:45] were going to put victim 3 on the stand. [00:29:47] And then just before this all came [00:29:48] together and before Diddy took the [00:29:50] stand, victim 3 apparently was out of [00:29:52] communication and we do not know where [00:29:53] they are. My thought immediately went to [00:29:57] um the girl Ally that is sharing all [00:29:59] this salacious stuff. I went and looked [00:30:00] her up and she's still posting on [00:30:02] TikTok. It's not her. So I don't know [00:30:03] what to make of it. I don't know who [00:30:04] victim 3 is. Um I'm sure we can all come [00:30:07] up with some crazy conspiracy theories [00:30:09] about what's going on there. Diddy side [00:30:11] is hoping for a mistrial just because [00:30:13] they don't have one of their witnesses. [00:30:15] That is extremely unlikely, but it is [00:30:17] possibly going to cause some delays and [00:30:18] it might actually impact the ability to [00:30:20] prosecute Diddy. Um, I presume that [00:30:23] Diddy is pulling out all the stops as [00:30:24] we've heard reportings of private [00:30:26] investigators looking into people and [00:30:28] people being pressured or influenced by [00:30:30] his family members and just all sorts of [00:30:32] shady shady shady shady shady. And it's [00:30:34] diddy. So, what did you expect? Um, it's [00:30:37] also worth noting that Marine Comey, the [00:30:39] daughter of James Comey, is on the [00:30:41] prosecution team. She also recently [00:30:43] served as the lead prosecutor for [00:30:45] Gileain Maxwell. So, it's it's just a [00:30:47] funny small club of people up here. And [00:30:49] ultimately, that's that's what I really [00:30:51] want to talk about here is that, as you [00:30:53] might expect, nothing really seems like [00:30:55] it's going to come out of this. And [00:30:56] that's because this is not the case that [00:30:59] we were all hoping for them to try. We [00:31:02] got on this case. I mean, if you've been [00:31:04] really following it since Cassie and [00:31:06] before, yeah, there's a lot going on [00:31:07] here. But when the Lil Rod lawsuit [00:31:10] dropped and most of us kind of caught [00:31:12] wind of Diddy and what was going on, the [00:31:15] case was that Lil Rod's lawsuit seemed [00:31:18] to imply and allege that this was a [00:31:20] sexual blackmail operation and that all [00:31:22] of Diddy's homes were wired up with [00:31:24] secret cameras recording everything that [00:31:26] happened and that Lucy and Graange and [00:31:29] Universal Music Group were named in that [00:31:31] lawsuit originally, except then they [00:31:35] mysteriously disappeared off the [00:31:37] lawsuit. [00:31:38] No answers as to why. Um, that was the [00:31:41] lawyer for Lil Rod that took them off [00:31:44] saying that there was no evidence that [00:31:46] they were involved. I'm sure that it was [00:31:48] just a big mistake that they got named [00:31:50] in the first place. Despite the fact [00:31:52] that in the evidence in the testimony or [00:31:55] in the allegations in it like [00:31:58] documented, it clearly says that Lucen [00:32:00] Graange was at the parties that Lucen [00:32:02] Graange had every reason to know what [00:32:04] was happening at the parties that he had [00:32:05] private visits with Diddy in the [00:32:07] evenings at his home where they [00:32:08] disappear into his room for extended [00:32:10] periods of time. [00:32:12] But you know, when you're the big boy at [00:32:14] the top, you don't get looked into. You [00:32:18] don't take the stand. You don't get the [00:32:19] dirt on you. And when I was talking to [00:32:22] the team earlier, they made me aware [00:32:25] that I did not even know that there's a [00:32:26] whole backstory on Lucian Graange and [00:32:28] his big daddy. And oh boy, is that [00:32:31] another dig for another day. Um, but I [00:32:34] just wanted to point out that the more [00:32:36] the Diddy trials progressed, the more [00:32:38] they seemed to depart from what was [00:32:41] actually really being shown and [00:32:43] suspicious in the first place, which was [00:32:45] what seemed to be a trafficking ring [00:32:47] with what seemed to be blackmail [00:32:49] involved with what absolutely for sure [00:32:52] was this [00:32:54] uh, shall we say, the ex- head of [00:32:57] security of Michael Jackson somehow [00:32:58] becoming the head of security for a [00:33:01] trafficking operation, a blackmail mail [00:33:03] ring for drugs, for whatever he's doing [00:33:04] for Diddy. Uh, everything about this [00:33:07] operation stank, not to mention the [00:33:09] property he had on the border of Mexico. [00:33:12] So, I'm not too optimistic about what's [00:33:15] going to come out of the Diddy trial [00:33:16] itself. But I am hoping that we'll at [00:33:20] least see some dirt thrown on some other [00:33:22] celebrities, some cracks open up in [00:33:24] other parts of the industry that [00:33:26] hopefully will, [00:33:29] let's just say, tip over a few dominoes [00:33:31] because there's a lot of dominoes ready [00:33:32] to fall. And it's worth noting, too, [00:33:34] that it's not just the Little Rod [00:33:36] lawsuit that has made these allegations. [00:33:38] These allegations are widespread in the [00:33:40] industry, both from people that have [00:33:42] worked alongside Diddy in the music [00:33:44] world as well as from bodyguards like [00:33:46] Gene Deal. Most of those girls, [00:33:51] especially if they like mixed drinks, [00:33:54] you understand? They see the bottles [00:33:58] when they open them and they trying to [00:34:00] keep their eyes on because they don't [00:34:02] want to get no kind of drugs put in [00:34:05] their system. But what they don't [00:34:08] understand is in the orange juice and [00:34:11] it's in the cranberry juice. They didn't [00:34:13] put the pills and the stuff in there, [00:34:15] the ruies, [00:34:18] the ecasy, the ease oil, whatever. They [00:34:21] they put it in the juice. Yeah, but they [00:34:24] don't put it in the baby oil. Don't you [00:34:26] worry about it. So, that's the Diddy [00:34:28] story for now. You're going to think I'm [00:34:30] describing weight loss injections, but [00:34:32] I'm not. These remarkable weight loss [00:34:34] testimonials came from a doctor [00:34:36] formulated weight loss supplement called [00:34:38] lean. Patty S said, "I've finally found [00:34:41] a weight loss product that works. I [00:34:43] wanted to lose 20 pounds and lean really [00:34:45] curbs my appetite." Lori M wrote, "I [00:34:48] struggled to get weight off and lean has [00:34:49] been lifesaver. I've been losing a [00:34:51] couple pounds a week or more." And Kelly [00:34:53] F said, "Amazing. I immediately noticed [00:34:56] an energy boost and a healthy weight [00:34:57] loss in weight. I would promote this [00:34:59] product to anyone." Lean was created by [00:35:01] a doctor and university researcher to [00:35:03] target the goals of GLP1s, but without [00:35:05] the injections. The studied ingredients [00:35:07] in lean have been shown to lower blood [00:35:09] sugar, radically reduce appetite, and [00:35:10] burn fat by converting it into energy. [00:35:13] If you're struggling to lose weight in a [00:35:14] healthy diet and exercise isn't enough, [00:35:16] lean is for you. Get started with 20% [00:35:19] off. Just use code candis 20 at [00:35:21] takelean.com. That's code candace20 at [00:35:24] takelean.com. Again, takelean.com. [00:35:27] Results vary.

Donald Trump is coming out hot [00:35:38] after big pharma. and he's, you know, [00:35:40] had some rhetoric and he's had some [00:35:41] stuff to say about pricing for a while, [00:35:43] but he just recently dropped a new [00:35:46] executive order that, as far as I can [00:35:49] tell, is like a silver bullet against [00:35:51] big pharma that is going to take away a [00:35:53] huge amount of their revenue stream as [00:35:56] well as a kneecap, an entire shadow [00:35:59] industry that is the PBM that just [00:36:02] siphons money out from in between as a [00:36:04] middleman in the pharma world. It is now [00:36:06] on the White House website officially. [00:36:08] today's executive order. And if you read [00:36:10] in section five, it details specifically [00:36:13] um what it calls most favored nation [00:36:16] price targets. And this is something [00:36:18] that Trump has referenced before, but it [00:36:20] has never really gotten he never was [00:36:21] able to get it through. And there you [00:36:23] can see at the bottom of the first [00:36:24] paragraph, communicate most favored [00:36:26] nation price targets to pharmaceutical [00:36:29] manufacturers to bring prices for [00:36:31] American patients in line with [00:36:33] comparably developed nations. Now, when [00:36:36] Trump put out a true social post about [00:36:38] this just the other day, he said, "We're [00:36:40] going to bring the prices down to the [00:36:42] lowest of any nation there is." Meaning [00:36:44] that if in Zimbabwe they're paying a [00:36:46] dollar per pill, then in America we pay [00:36:49] only a dollar per pill, whatever the [00:36:51] lowest price around the world is. That [00:36:53] language has been modified a little bit [00:36:54] so that in the actual executive order [00:36:56] now Americans are mandated apparently to [00:36:59] we get to pay whatever the lowest price [00:37:01] of any other developed nation which is [00:37:04] awesome because right now we're getting [00:37:06] grifted so hard right now Americans are [00:37:09] paying more than just about any other [00:37:10] nation in the world often by multiples [00:37:12] of two five or even 10x what other [00:37:14] countries are paying for the exact same [00:37:16] products. Also in section 4, he seems to [00:37:20] enable direct to consumer sales from the [00:37:23] pharmaceutical manufacturers at the most [00:37:26] favored nation price, which is really [00:37:30] interesting because I I mean, let's just [00:37:33] say I've never been there. I'm no [00:37:35] pharmaceutical expert, but from what I'm [00:37:38] reading there, that seems to be very [00:37:40] much a death blow to a vast portion of [00:37:43] pharma's profits. [00:37:46] I mean, I don't know what to make of [00:37:48] that other than extreme optimism because [00:37:50] that's not all. He also is going after [00:37:52] the PBMs, the pharmacy benefit managers. [00:37:56] He ordered RFK to facilitate programs [00:37:59] for pharma manufacturers to sell direct [00:38:01] consumers at the best nation price. [00:38:04] Uh if you're not familiar, these PBMs, [00:38:07] pharmacy benefit managers, they're [00:38:09] companies that manage prescription drug [00:38:11] benefits um and healthurers and [00:38:13] employers and they they just kind of [00:38:14] like middleman in between the whole [00:38:16] system. Um and they just take a huge cut [00:38:19] out from the middle, like an insanely [00:38:20] huge cut. PBMs are over a trillion [00:38:23] dollars a year in combined revenue [00:38:25] according to an FTC report, I think from [00:38:28] last year, um maybe from 2023. [00:38:31] Um, so I mean a lot's going on here and [00:38:35] I'm sure that a lot of people far [00:38:37] smarter than me will have all kinds of [00:38:38] takes, but I'd be surprised if anyone [00:38:40] has any take that is not positive [00:38:42] because [00:38:44] I mean we all love big pharma, right? So [00:38:47] anyways, speaking of drugs again, [00:38:50] couple of the big boys got caught [00:38:53] allegedly with a little baggie of drugs. [00:38:57] But is that really the story that's [00:38:59] going on here? I'm sure you've seen by [00:39:01] now. If I mean, if you have an ex [00:39:03] account, you've definitely seen. And if [00:39:05] you don't have an ex account, you've [00:39:06] still probably seen Macron just [00:39:08] squirreling away the little bag of [00:39:10] whiteness on his table and all that [00:39:12] stuff that's been taken over the [00:39:14] internet and everyone's making funny [00:39:15] memes and AI videos of them dancing and [00:39:18] whatever else. And yeah, he grabs his [00:39:20] little bag and it away, but like, [00:39:24] let's just let's just pump the brakes [00:39:25] for a second here, guys. It it might be [00:39:28] a tissue. Like it really might be a [00:39:31] tissue. And like maybe it's a bag of [00:39:35] drugs, like a really big bag of drugs. [00:39:37] Like just so like that's a lot of drugs [00:39:39] and uh just on the like maybe. But [00:39:43] regardless, even if it's a bag of drugs [00:39:46] or it's a tissue, you can argue about [00:39:47] that all day long. And yeah, it's a [00:39:49] funny scandal, whatever. But um that's [00:39:52] Emanuel Mcronone. And if you don't [00:39:55] recall, [00:39:57] um, he's married to a dude. [00:40:00] And in case you're not up to date on the [00:40:03] story and all the other implications of [00:40:05] that story, [00:40:08] there's a whole series that Candace [00:40:09] Owens made on this very YouTube channel [00:40:11] that you could watch yourself and you [00:40:12] might learn all about how Emanuel [00:40:14] Mcronone married his um much much older [00:40:19] teacher that uh was not always a woman [00:40:23] and might have even possibly one day [00:40:25] been in his very same family. [00:40:29] That seems a lot more scandalous than [00:40:31] world leaders doing cocaine, which I'm [00:40:34] sure they probably all do. And they [00:40:36] might even all do right before the media [00:40:39] comes into the room to do interviews [00:40:40] with them. We've all seen the images or [00:40:43] the videos of Zilinski and uh Ardurn [00:40:47] just going going all sniffly sniffly. [00:40:49] Um, we've seen it and it's I'm sure it's [00:40:51] happening, but ultimately the scandal is [00:40:55] that he's married to a dude and that [00:40:57] that implies all sorts of other things [00:41:00] that we want answers to. [00:41:04] So, yeah, that's the story about the [00:41:06] drugs. It's fun, but let's be real. [00:41:11] It kind of feels like a distraction, [00:41:13] guys. Let's keep our eyes on the bigger [00:41:14] prize. Like the Illuminati controlling [00:41:17] the world through a crazy I'm sorry, I'm [00:41:18] kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. [00:41:21] Anyways, [00:41:23] that's about it for our episode today. I [00:41:26] think that about wraps us up. I really [00:41:28] appreciate you guys coming to hang out. [00:41:30] I really appreciate the whole team [00:41:32] bringing me in and welcoming me to the [00:41:33] studio. I cannot wait to learn from them [00:41:36] to learn from all the crazy rabbit holes [00:41:38] that they've been down and to share them [00:41:40] all with you. If you haven't already [00:41:42] remembered, please like the video, share [00:41:44] the video, subscribe to the channel. Um, [00:41:48] and I'll make sure that Candace comes [00:41:49] and pops in to say hi before too long [00:41:51] here. But for now, have a great night [00:41:53] and we'll see you tomorrow.
