00:00A shocking sit-down interview with President Biden's scandal-ridden son
00:03caused a serious reaction between two powerhouse conservative commentators,
00:09including accusations of, quote,
00:11cozying up with the Bidens to get out of a notorious defamation lawsuit.
00:15Why is far-right provocateur Laura Loomer sparring with Candace Owens
00:19over her interview with Hunter Biden?
00:21Here's what you need to know.
00:22Right-wing political commentator Candace Owens shocked the internet on May 21st
00:27when she posted a nearly two-hour interview with former first son Hunter Biden.
00:31The surprisingly cordial interview included some outlandish accusations
00:35by former President Joe Biden's son,
00:38including a wild claim that Israeli intelligence was behind
00:41the Ukraine corruption allegations against him and his dad.
00:44Go look up Gal Luft and Alexander Smirnoff.
00:49They're the two principal individuals that made the only claim
00:56that people hung their hat in, in Congress and elsewhere,
00:59as it relates to my dad and corruption.
01:02One of them is a fugitive from justice,
01:05wanted by Interpol in the United States government, Gal Luft,
01:08who is a former IDF officer.
01:12And the other one is Alexander Smirnoff,
01:14who is a known Israeli intelligence agent.
01:18That he had nothing to do with the infamous bag of cocaine
01:21discovered at the White House in 2023.
01:23I wasn't even there.
01:24I mean, I spent probably, you know, over the course of four years,
01:29maybe 25 days at the White House, like 25 nights, 30,
01:36if I, you know, I'm being fair.
01:38And even a surreal apology from Owens.
01:41The number one thing I want to do with my life is,
01:44number one, take care of me.
01:46Yeah.
01:47You take care of me.
01:48I feel like I have to say, like,
01:49I'm really sorry that I contributed to that.
01:51Like, I just feel really sh**.
01:52I feel guilty.
01:53I just saw you as a caricature.
01:55And it was, it was definitely, like I said,
01:58like feeling gaslit by the political machine,
02:01convinced that it was just the left.
02:02Owens, who has a history of peddling wild conspiracy theories,
02:05garnered massive criticism online
02:07for posting the intimate interview.
02:10Wow, I was still on the fence about Candace.
02:12This is all I needed to finally confirm she has completely lost it.
02:16There would be no valid reason in the world
02:18to put this guy on a platform to be seen by millions.
02:22Unbelievable lack of sane judgment.
02:24Sad to see her go.
02:26I have been played.
02:27Candace, what have you done?
02:28I am so sad now.
02:30Your credibility is gone.
02:32Candace Owens not asking Hunter Biden tough critical questions.
02:36That's weird.
02:37I'm like more than half a ways through the interview
02:39and it's a love affair.
02:40But one right-wing firebrand got into an intense back and forth
02:44with the podcaster accusing her of interviewing
02:46the former president's son to garner support
02:49for a dismissal in a notorious defamation lawsuit
02:52from French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.
02:56In July, Owens was slapped with a shocking defamation lawsuit
02:59by the French president and his wife
03:02for claiming that the first lady was born a male
03:04who groomed her allegedly gay husband.
03:07In January, Owens ran an eight-part podcast series
03:10in which she made unsubstantiated claims about the couple
03:13who met when Brigitte was the future French leader's schoolteacher
03:16in 1993.
03:18She was 39.
03:19He was 15 at the time.
03:21That person that you are looking at on the right
03:23is not a woman.
03:25You are lying to the public.
03:27So here is a photo, by the way.
03:28Just over the years,
03:30Jean-Michel Trucneau, as he became Brigitte,
03:32as I said, the evidence for this is overwhelming.
03:36Right-wing social media star Laura Loomer
03:38published a lengthy post on X
03:40accusing Owens of using Biden
03:42to influence the outcome of the Macron's lawsuit
03:45filed in Delaware.
03:46Loomer claimed that the judge on the case
03:48was appointed by Democrat Governor John Carney Jr.,
03:51who was a longtime Delaware political ally
03:53to Joe Biden.
03:55This means Carney, who appointed the judge
03:57overseeing Candace Owens' defamation case,
03:59knows Hunter Biden, in addition to knowing the judge.
04:03I believe this is why Candace Owens
04:05is cozying up to the Biden family
04:06one month before her motion to dismiss hearing.
04:09She is likely hoping her closeness to the Biden family
04:12and their relationship with the former governor of Delaware,
04:14who appointed the judge overseeing her case,
04:17will win her favor with the judge
04:18or win her favor in Delaware
04:20if her case goes to trial, Loomer wrote.
04:24Owens fired back at Loomer,
04:25calling the commentator a, quote,
04:27rabbit hyena, and called her ex-musing, quote,
04:30mental disfigurations.
04:32Owens later, quote, posted an edited picture
04:34of Loomer in a straitjacket, writing,
04:36the problem with Larry Loomer isn't her mental illness,
04:39it's the stupidity paired with it.
