            • 01:00 - 01:30 source and like right at the Daily Wire and now  I've had even more come and corroborate it since   I reported on it brett Cooper is a under one of  these contracts that has her tied to secrecy and   silence where she is under NDA and can't say  anything about it while they spin whatever   narrative they want about it they are promoting  her best friend who was her maid of honor at her   wedding they offered her a contract that was  so lucrative she couldn't refuse it and they   apparently allegedly gave her acting classes to  help her imitate Brett's mannerisms the Reagan   episodes are kind of weird because she's like a  clone of Brett Cooper she was pushed out made of
            • 01:30 - 02:00 honor we were hoodwinkedked and that Ian Carol  clip was all over the internet so many questions   no answers but us we picked a side and immediately  Reagan's new comment section started plummeting   tens of thousands of people unsubscribing  daily thousands of comments accusing Reagan   of backstabbing her friend countless YouTubers  asking what was the Daily Wire thinking candace   Owens and Brett Cooper in one year it was huge and  things got worse when Brett Cooper's mom liked a
            • 02:00 - 02:30 comment on Reagan's Instagram confirming Reagan  backstabbed Brett it was the end of the comment section or so we thought jeremy Boring decided he wasn't going to  let the channel die and with Brett under   an NDA he figured if the internet's going  to try and create a story then I should
            • 02:30 - 03:00 too everybody's opinion already set and  there was videos with millions of views   with the comments all on Brett's side  and it didn't help that the Daily Wire   was ignoring all these accusations thinking  it'll blow over and that's when we got this i'm Riley Conrad and my cousin is Rean Conrad  a video from the cousin of the girl in question   over the past week or so I have watched the  internet completely rip my cousin to shreds   over something that is the furthest thing from  her fault in this video that was meant to take
            • 03:00 - 03:30 the heat off Reagan and give us a little bit  of a different perspective yeah it backfired   while Regan and Brett were best friends Brett has  just sat back and watched this happen to Rean and   in fact she removed all of her posts with Regan  on Instagram and eventually unfollowed her too   brett decided to leave 100% Brett's decision  brett recommends to the Daily Wire that Rean   step in and be the substitute host for a period  of time everybody's accusing her of having acting
            • 03:30 - 04:00 classes that is how Regan's always been that's  how she's always spoken yes maybe they have   some of the same mannerisms they've been best  friends so the acting classes rumor it's just   that it's a rumor regan has never had acting  classes she literally just does speak that   way that's how she is so those of you accusing  her of just stealing this role she's meant for   it you just haven't given her a chance brett has  completely turned on her and allowed the hate to   happen even though Regan was offered the position  fairly and Brett chose to step away she's allowed   the hate to spew and has not come forward and  tried to clear Reggan's name even slightly
            • 04:00 - 04:30 so it's Brett's fault or at least that's what  Riley Conrad wanted us to think at the time I   reacted to the video I was convinced that this  it it seems planned it's like she was obligated   to hit like talking points and a few days later  what do you know a leaked video from Jeremy Boring   came out where he basically made the same points  Riley Conrad did some of the accusations against   Reagan have been really ugly like that she's  impersonating Brett well that's unfair it's
            • 04:30 - 05:00 because she's Brett's best friend and some of  the rumors I saw that we sent Reagan to acting   lessons to make her more like Brett that's  absolutely absurd i've never sent her to an   acting lesson she's never asked me to send her  to an acting lesson it's actually ironic because   I did send Brett to various kinds of lessons as  a performer and it's hurt my feelings a little   bit that Brett hasn't done more to defend her  friend so this is the story that's supposed   to save the comment section that Brett chose to  leave and shame on Brett for not co-signing her
            • 05:00 - 05:30 supposed best friend that just sounds kind  of weird they're kind of bullying her and I   think that's what the internet felt so I watched  this video jeremy Boring the CEO coco of Daily   Wire released a commentary and I think it is very  fair to categorize it as extraordinarily passive   aggressive so I'm watching it i'm going  is it just me or does this just seem off   like something here is just off and it turns  out the entire internet read it exactly that   way and it's now everywhere and people are  commenting on how off it really is and it's
            • 05:30 - 06:00 hurt my feelings a little bit that Brett hasn't  done more to defend her friend Reagan you know Brett So Brett Cooper is under an NDA jeremy  Boring and the Daily Wire are actively trying   to spin his story but it didn't make much  sense if this is all Brett Cooper's idea   and she wanted Reagan Conrad to replace her why  did Brett unfollow Reagan on all social medias   and delete all their pictures together is Brett  just being petty the stuff we were hearing from   the Daily Wire propaganda machine just wasn't  adding up and at this point we're craving a
            • 06:00 - 06:30 response like is Brett seeing this she should say  something she has to say something right brett   already created her new channel and it was taking  off while Reagan was losing tens of thousands of   subscribers brett was gaining hundreds of  thousands of subscribers anticipation was   growing what is Brett doing when is she coming  back is she coming back and on January 27th

            • 07:00 - 07:30 the wait was over and Brett was coming back in  just a few days and after this whirlwind of a   scandal for the past month we can finally get some  answers finally get to hear her side it's about   damn time she didn't talk about it brett what the  hell yeah I mean the topic she covered was kind of   like her alluding to the situation without really  talking about it but like damn nothing weeks went   by and video after video Brett's numbers were  at an all-time high she acted as if none of
            • 07:30 - 08:00 the Daily Wire stuff went down she kind of just  moved on and a lot of us did too but there was   always something there we wanted answers and  we never got those answers yeah she's on an   NDA but you know just something and folks after  a long twomonth wait just a few days ago we got something what was the final straw i mean almost  nobody would give that up and start from scratch
            • 08:00 - 08:30 and that's why I respect you so much oh it was  terrifying you know Alex and I had a conversation   we looked at each other and were just kind of like  are you willing to or we basically willing to lose   everything and start from scratch i could leave  and it could backfire on me immediately nobody   could care maybe I wouldn't make any money maybe  I would have no anything and I basically just had
            • 08:30 - 09:00 to to decide like does that matter to me and  it didn't a million subs in one month when you   launched your new show yeah it was very humbling  and gratifying if all of it went away and at the   end of the day like I don't really care about  being famous like it comes with what I do i would   be just as happy if I was telling stories in a  different capacity mhm again it's finding the   root of what you love to do and then applying  it i do it because I love sharing stories with   people but I don't have to have 4 million or  a million subs to do that like that that isn't
            • 09:00 - 09:30 why I do this i could go work i could go back  to Trader Joe's and I'd be happy that's the   difference being passionate the process that's  how you grow your audience and it's the reason   Reagan struggling to keep an audience it was never  hers to begin with and the Daily Wire skipped that   process when you left your maid of honor best  friend was it Reagan is that her name took over
            • 09:30 - 10:00 the comments section how did that feel friendships  are hard are you guys still friends don't say so would you like to still be friends of course really good line of questioning he's  pushing without really pushing it's   like the question is doing all the work  i talked about that actually in another
            • 10:00 - 10:30 Dear Brett thing adult friendships are  really hard you always think it's going   to get easier kind of just gets harder  and with more people knowing who you are and having influence and having eyes on you then  you kind of question people's motives in being   friends with you and I'm like loyal to a maybe  a fault do you feel that she was disloyal and   taken the role no she can do she's an adult  she and this is what I will always stand by
            • 10:30 - 11:00 you have to make the decision that is good  for you and your family i did that and she   did that so Brett's taking the mature approach  kind of alluding to something being wrong with   the choice Reagan made but acknowledging as  an adult you can't really fault a person for   making a choice that's going to benefit them  and their family again Brett unfollowed Reagan   on everything so something happened but as  individuals you can't control what another   person wants to do why do you think the friendship  fell apart if you wish her the best of success
            • 11:00 - 11:30 friendships are hard my Cindy A  do you want to say anything to her that's difficult question yeah cuz it is damn NDA  i wish you success and I wish you well and I hope
            • 11:30 - 12:00 that she chases the things that she wants and I  never wish that you know to not work for anybody   so much was said without saying anything hope  she's able to chase the things she wants that's   an interesting statement cuz one of the rumors  that circulated during the heat of the scandal   was from an anonymous source from Reddit and he  claimed he was close friends with both parties   and this is what he had to say about the choice  Reagan made her best friend Reagan encouraged   her to leave and supported her and as her  cousin accurately states was so supportive
            • 12:00 - 12:30 and encouraging that she fully planned to leave  with her that's about all her cousin gets right   one day Reagan comes to all of us bursting with  tears claiming that Jeremy brought her into the   office and told her he wanted her to fill in  for Brett she painted this as though Jeremy   was doing this purely to torture Brett which  was believable she claimed she did not want   to do it but that he threatened to fire her we  all felt terrible for her in retrospect what   she said makes no sense but why on earth would  we think she was a total sociopath and lied to
            • 12:30 - 13:00 us she told us that she told him that she would  only do it for 2 weeks okay so she's like "All   right I don't want to do this you got two weeks  and then I'm with Brett." Re was a bigger Brett   supporter than us two weeks pass and then she  does a 180 she says she actually loves being in   front of the camera and that God wants her to  take this opportunity and that Jeremy offered   her a contract worth a lot of money and promised  he could make her famous brett was horrifically
            • 13:00 - 13:30 backstabbed reagan wanted fame and you remember  when Brett said this earlier in the interview   adult friendships are really hard you always  think it's going to get easier kind of just   gets harder and with more people knowing who you  are having influence and having eyes on you then   you kind of question people's motives and being  friends with you and I'm like loyal to a maybe a   fault friendships in her position are tough cuz  you never know people's motives there have been
            • 13:30 - 14:00 so many people that have come in and out of  my life over the years and I think that it's   important to let go can't control everything even  though you might like to people make their own decisions sometimes it hurts but at the end of  the day we make choices we live with choices   we do what we believe is best for us and our  goals and our dreams come on guys do I even   have to say it i want to make sure I am being  consistent with what I say on screen and what
            • 14:00 - 14:30 I'm doing in my personal life and if I'm saying  I believe in independent voices and freedom and   doing what you believe in and standing strong in  that I think if you are a person with integrity   and you have eyes on you and you're speaking about  that I I don't know how you can not do that behind   the scenes i just like that I can't comprehend  that and who do you think that comment was about
            • 14:30 - 15:00 what a master class you believe in independent  voices and freedoms yet as soon as someone has   an opinion different from yours they're gone  that's the end of the Brett Cooper saga we   wondered for months if we were wrong did we  choose the right side and all Brett did in   this interview was give us the closure we were  looking for and with Brett Cooper's new channel   being as big as it's ever been and Reagan in the  comment section struggling to crack 30,000 views
            • 15:00 - 15:30 with 4 million subscribers not to mention all  the controversy at the Daily Wire Jeremy Boring   stepping down as the CEO and Brett Cooper making  this ex tweet of Jimmy Fallon winking after she   found out Jeremy was stepping down sort of  like a nod to us then you got the bankruptcy   rumors they're laying off 25% of their staff  something's going off and it seems as if Brett   Cooper and Candace Owens did themselves a favor  by walking away and tell you what main thing I   got from this interview with Brett Cooper and  Sean Ryan was that in fact it was Reagan all
