Title: Theo Von Speaks Out | Big Names Missing In The Diddy Trial

Introduction

In Episode 188 of "Candace," host Candace Owens sits down with co-host Ian Carroll to delve into the complexities surrounding the high-profile Diddy trial. The discussion navigates through the intricate details of the case, the roles of various individuals involved, and broader implications related to conspiracy theories and censorship in the digital age.

The Diddy Trial: Unpacking the Allegations

Jonathan Odie's Accusations

Candace Owens introduces the conversation by referencing Ian Carroll's earlier work, which prompted her deep dive into the Diddy case. Central to the discussion is Jonathan Odie, the man who gained notoriety for his bizarre allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassie Ventura.

• Jonathan Odie Claims: Odie, who was involved in a 2018 incident at the Trump Doral Hotel, accused Diddy of being part of a larger blackmail and drug trafficking ring. He alleged that Diddy forced him into sexual servitude with Cassie and implicated him in distributing "pink cocaine," a concoction of MDMA and cocaine.

• Notable Quote:
  Candace Owens [02:41]: "He was trying to warn Trump. Apparently, the whole ordeal was him trying to get Trump's attention so that he could save Trump from the Illuminati, which is incredible."

Lil Rod's Lawsuit and Blackmail Implications

Lil Rod, another key figure, filed a lawsuit against Diddy following Cassie's settlement. His allegations suggest a systemic blackmail operation involving high-profile individuals and drug trafficking through private jets.

• Drug Trafficking Insights:
  Ian Carroll [06:09]: "They're trafficking very large amounts of drugs, likely bricks, on private jets that bypass standard customs screening."

Missing Key Figures in the Trial

The discussion highlights significant absences in the trial, such as Christina Karam and Lucian Grange—both associated with Universal Music Group and alleged facilitators within Diddy's operations.

• Notable Quote:
  Candace Owens [13:07]: "How is that possible? The Universal music execs... Lucian Grange would be a star witness... they're just taken off the lawsuit."

The Black Boule and Symbolism

The conversation touches upon the "Black Boule," an alleged branch of the Illuminati, suggesting that influential figures like LeBron James may be members, as inferred from his tattoos.

• Notable Quote:
  Ian Carroll [10:05]: "The Black Boule traces back to black nobility and royal families... LeBron James does have a gigantic back tattoo of the crest."

Cassie Ventura: Victim or Complicit?

Candace and Ian explore Cassie's dual portrayal as both a victim of domestic abuse and a possible complicity figure within the alleged abuses.

• Candace’s Perspective:
  Candace Owens [22:59]: "Cassie was definitely a victim, but she also did some bad stuff... it's a complicated situation."

• Ian’s Insight:
  Ian Carroll [24:08]: "I absolve her of guilt because of how she was manipulated by Diddy from a young age."

They agree that while Cassie may have engaged in questionable actions, her bravery in bringing the case forward overshadows her missteps.

Theo Von's Statement and the DC Terror Attack

The episode shifts focus to a recent terror attack in Washington D.C., where Theo Von publicly expressed his anguish over the Israel-Palestine conflict, leading to widespread criticism and personal attacks.

• Theo Von’s Message:
  Theo Von [30:33 - 33:46]: Spoken heartfelt plea regarding the genocide in Gaza, expressing frustration over inaction and societal complicity.

• Public Reaction:
  Candace Owens [33:54]: "The reaction to that on X was to diagnose him as mentally ill through name-calling like 'You're evil.'"

The hosts discuss the trend of stigmatizing individuals who voice concerns about international conflicts, emphasizing the need for open dialogue rather than ad hominem attacks.

• Notable Quote:
  Ian Carroll [35:09]: "You are mentally ill. It's all name-calling. There's no actual discussion."

Conspiracy Theories and Social Media Censorship

Candace Owens and Ian Carroll delve into the broader landscape of conspiracy theories, particularly focusing on misinformation tactics and the role of social media platforms in shaping public perception.

Kabbalah Bracelet Incident

Candace shares an anecdote about wearing a Kabbalah bracelet, leading to unfounded conspiracy theories suggesting she's connected to Mossad or cabalistic groups.

• Candace's Experience:
  Candace Owens [41:37]: "I wore this bracelet from my girlfriend's dad, it's just a cutesy thing, but they started linking it to the Illuminati."

4chan and Propaganda

They discuss a Reuters article alleging that Israel was the top contributor to 4chan's posts since 2014, which was subsequently removed, fueling further conspiracy theories.

• Notable Quote:
  Candace Owens [42:36]: "Reuters disappeared this article entirely. Very recent. 4chan came up because there was a thread about the Kabbalah bracelet."

Impact of Information Warfare

The hosts highlight how entities like the ADL and pro-Israel groups conduct information wars to manipulate narratives and suppress dissenting voices.

• Ian’s Observation:
  Ian Carroll [40:23]: "Israel has been waging an information war on the American people all along... you can watch their tactics."

Israel-Palestine Conflict and Generational Shifts

The discussion pivots to the evolving American perspectives on the Israel-Palestine conflict, noting a significant decline in support for Israel among younger generations.

• Notable Quote:
  Glenn Greenwald Tweet [57:34]: "50% of Republicans under 50 have an unfavorable view of Israel. 53% of Americans overall."

ADL’s Stance and Censorship Efforts

Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL advocates for increased censorship on platforms like TikTok to control narratives around Israel, which Candace and Ian critique as desperate and authoritarian tactics.

• Candace’s Critique:
  Candace Owens [59:30]: "They are pushing speech laws and trying to manufacture support, which is insane."

Listener Comments and Interactive Segment

The podcast incorporates live listener comments, addressing theories such as Diddy being intentionally cut loose to derail investigations and Cassie's role as a conduit in exposing the alleged operations.

• Listener Insight:
  Janaya [52:15]: "They have been watching Diddy since Jonathan Odie had that interview. Cassie was the conduit to getting him."

Candace and Ian discuss the plausibility of these theories, considering the absence of strong evidence and the possible orchestration behind the scenes.

Wrap-Up and Final Thoughts

As the episode concludes, Candace Owens announces her upcoming two-week maternity leave, assuring listeners that Ian Carroll will continue hosting in her absence. The hosts reinforce the importance of critical thinking, skepticism towards unfounded allegations, and the need to resist manipulative information tactics.

• Final Quote:
  Candace Owens [62:07]: "You have to be highly suspicious of people pushing the Qatari talking point because we're literally not funded by Qatar and they're all pushing that with zero evidence."

Conclusion
