title: "The Unexpected White House Call"
quote: *"Someone very high up in the White House asked me to ask you, as a favor, if you could stop talking about Brigitte Macron."*
details:
Candace Owens reveals a secret she had kept since February 2024, involving a bizarre request from the White House. On February 24, after her podcast episode aired, she received a cryptic message from a friend claiming to relay a demand from a high-ranking White House official: stop discussing Brigitte Macron.
The timing was odd, as Owens had just concluded her podcast series on Brigitte Macron four days prior. The request seemed disconnected from recent content, raising suspicions about its urgency.
Owens refused, citing freedom of speech and the gravity of her investigative findings about Brigitte Macron’s background. She consulted her lawyer, anticipating legal threats from Macron’s camp, but the involvement of the White House was unprecedented.
Upon researching, Owens discovered Emmanuel Macron was in Washington, D.C., the same day, having left the White House hours before the call. This fueled theories of a coordinated effort to silence her.

title: "The Ukraine Negotiation Twist"
quote: *"Emmanuel Macron is delaying negotiations to end the Russo-Ukrainian war unless you stop talking about his wife."*
details:
The intermediary later disclosed an even more shocking claim: Macron was allegedly stalling Ukraine peace talks unless Owens ceased coverage of Brigitte. Owens was baffled, questioning how her podcast could impact international diplomacy.
The intermediary clarified that President Trump was also privy to the request, though initially omitted from the explanation. Owens grew skeptical, suspecting a backchannel negotiation where Macron’s true priority was suppressing her reporting.
She speculated Macron used the guise of diplomacy to lobby Trump for personal favors, leveraging U.S. influence to shield his wife from scrutiny. The absurdity of the situation left Owens and her husband in disbelief.

title: "Confrontation with a White House Official"
quote: *"You should do this because it’s the President asking. What else do you want me to say? Stop talking about Brigitte Macron."*
details:
Owens received a direct call from a senior White House advisor, who arrogantly demanded compliance with Trump’s request. The advisor’s tone was dismissive, treating the demand as an order rather than a negotiation.
Owens, then heavily pregnant, rebuffed the advisor, emphasizing the inappropriate nature of the request and her commitment to free speech. She noted the irony of being pressured by a government that ostensibly champions First Amendment rights.
The advisor’s approach backfired, solidifying Owens’ resolve to publicize the incident. She interpreted the aggression as a sign of desperation from Macron’s allies.

title: "Trump’s Personal Intervention"
quote: *"I’m negotiating with Ukraine and Russia, and you wouldn’t believe how many parties are involved... but Macron pulled me aside to talk about your podcast."*
details:
Trump called Owens, confirming Macron had personally raised the issue during their meeting. Trump recounted how Macron asked if he knew Owens and requested her silence about Brigitte, citing emotional distress.
Trump framed the request as a minor concession to facilitate broader negotiations, but Owens challenged the premise, arguing that suppressing truth for political convenience was immoral.
Trump’s casual tone—joking about Brigitte’s appearance and suggesting Owens’ podcast was influential—underscored the surreal nature of the conversation. Owens maintained her stance, agreeing only to a temporary pause if it genuinely aided peace talks.

title: "The Broader Implications: Macron’s Motives"
quote: *"Emmanuel Macron must resign. If he’s willing to let people die over whether I discuss his wife’s anatomy, he’s unfit to lead."*
details:
Owens argued Macron’s actions revealed a prioritization of personal reputation over global stability. She connected this to her investigative findings about Brigitte’s past, suggesting the Macrons feared exposure of deeper scandals.
She highlighted historical patterns of French elite involvement in pedophilia and cover-ups, referencing André Gide’s normalization of abuse and Macron’s alleged ties to such circles.
