Title: WOAH! Trump Named In Epstein Files. ‘Becoming Brigitte’ Goes International.

Introduction

In Episode 219 of her podcast, Candace Owens delves into two major developments: former President Donald Trump being named in Jeffrey Epstein's files and the international expansion of her controversial series, "Becoming Brigitte." Owens offers her unfiltered take on these topics, critiquing political elites and media narratives.

Jake Tapper's Statement on Brigitte Macron ([05:42])

Owens opens the discussion by highlighting a notable moment where Jake Tapper of CNN mentioned her in a serious context:

Jake Tapper:
"French President Emmanuel Macron, his wife Brigitte are suing right-wing podcaster and conspiracy theorist Candace Owens. The defamation lawsuit filed today in Delaware claims that Owens has engaged in a, quote, relentless and unjustified smear campaign against the couple..."
[05:42]

Owens reacts to this by humorously quoting herself, emphasizing the absurdity she perceives in the lawsuit:

Candace Owens:
"I will be coming for this wig today. Stay tuned."
[06:31]

Analysis of the Macron Lawsuit

Owens critically examines the defamation lawsuit filed by Brigitte Macron and her attorney, Tom Clare, against her. She argues that the lawsuit lacks substantial evidence and is merely a PR strategy by the elites to silence her.

Key Points:

• Lack of Evidence: Owens contends that Tom Clare failed to provide concrete evidence to support claims that Brigitte Macron is a man, dismissing his assertions as mere statements without substantive proof.

  Candace Owens:
  "He tried so hard to wiggle out of that one, but people are going to call him out because he's like, no, no, like what?"
  [08:03]

• Emotional Appeals: Owens criticizes Clare's emotional pleas, suggesting they mask the lack of factual evidence.

  Jake Tapper:
  "So your lawsuit alleges, quote, every time the Macrons leave their home, they do so knowing that countless people have heard and many believe these vile fabrications..."
  [09:18]

  Candace Owens:
  "What people forget is that they're human beings. Oh, is that what we're doing in the courtroom?"
  [10:28]

• Financial Motives: She posits that the lawsuit aims to financially cripple her, drawing parallels to elite tactics seen in other high-profile cases.

  Candace Owens:
  "The real threat, what the elites always do, they go mask down in this moment when they shared this exchange..."
  [10:28]

International Impact of "Becoming Brigitte"

Owens discusses the global reach of her series "Becoming Brigitte," noting its viral spread across various countries, including China, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. She attributes this international attention to her persistent efforts to expose what she claims are corrupt elites.

Notable Mentions:

• Viral Reception: Comments from international listeners indicate widespread discussion and controversy sparked by the series.

  Candace Owens:
  "Now people are going, well, okay, something's obviously going on. This is not just about some podcaster lying."
  [10:28]

• Media Coverage: Owens highlights how different media outlets in the East Hemisphere are picking up on the series, further amplifying her message.

  Candace Owens:
  "We're making this allegation against my super hot Claudia Schiffer looking sister. You want us to believe that?"
  [13:08]

Jeffrey Epstein's 2010 Deposition and Trump's Involvement

A significant portion of the episode focuses on a viral clip from Jeffrey Epstein's 2010 deposition, wherein he is questioned about his relationship with Donald Trump and the presence of minors.

Key Excerpts:

• Epstein's Response: Epstein acknowledges knowing Trump but hesitates to provide details regarding minors.

  Jeffrey Epstein:
  "Yes, sir. Yes. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18, though..."

• Owens' Interpretation: She suggests that Epstein invoking his Fifth Amendment rights does not directly implicate Trump but criticizes the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

  Candace Owens:
  "But that doesn't mean that Trump was involved with those minors. We actually should keep a cool head about that..."
  [Transcript Excerpts]

• Wall Street Journal Report: Owens references a Wall Street Journal article claiming that Trump was informed about his inclusion in Epstein's files during a routine briefing, implying mishandling and possible cover-ups by the administration.

  Candace Owens:
  "If you accept that to be true, or I think that it's reasonable that there could be some veracity to this..."
  [Transcript Excerpts]
