We FINALLY Got Some Answers Transcription
00:00 - 00:30 when you left your maid of honor best friend
Reagan took over the comment section how did that feel friendships are hard are you guys still
friends would you like to still be friends adult friendships are really hard and with more
people knowing who you are then you kind of question people's motives in being friends
with you do you feel that she was disloyal um on December 10th 2024 Brett Cooper shocked the
internet when she announced she was done with the
00:30 - 01:00 Daily Wire some of you have heard the rumors
online and the rumors are mostly true today December 10th will be my last day hosting the
comment section and working for the Daily Wire boy did it spark a lot of questions why is
she leaving was she fired she going to talk about it this Reagan person oh we were pissed
and a few days later finally got some answers the Daily Wire's pushing Brett Cooper out and I
was like I started digging in and found my own
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
06:30 - 07:00 2025 we got our answer after weeks of speculation Brett Cooper has
left well it looks like the rumors were true everybody made an appearance departure
has caused Candace Owens Dylan Paige the quartering i was even featured she already
has a channel is now at half a million subs
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
15:30 - 16:00 along i want to take you there in
the midnight hour i can feel your power just like a crazy now I'll take you there
