Introduction and Setting the Stage
Candace Owens opens the episode by drawing a parallel between herself and Ms. Cleo from the 90s, humorously referencing her ability to "accurately predict" political events. She clarifies that she's not a fortune teller but has been keenly observing political signs and statements, particularly those from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which she believes indicate an impending war involving the United States and Iran.
Notable Quote:
"I've just been paying attention to all of the obvious signs and the words that are coming out of Bibi Netanyahu's mouth. And now we're going to war."
[00:16]
Analysis of Left and Right Political Manipulation
Candace discusses how both the political left and right are susceptible to manipulation, primarily driven by monetary interests and the perpetuation of war. She references Tim Dillon’s insights on how both sides fall for war-driven narratives—left through social justice issues and right through fearmongering about imminent threats.
Notable Quote:
"Both sides are serving the same master. And that's apparently money and war, the nonstop war machine."
[01:47]
MAGA Movement and Its Fracturing
Candace elaborates on the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, arguing that it was initially a stand against neoconservative policies and endless wars. She contends that Trump has fractured his base by shifting focus towards supporting Israel more aggressively, moving away from the original MAGA principles.
Notable Quote:
"I believe he just fractured his base."
[04:00]
Trump’s Consistent Rhetoric Against War
Candace highlights Donald Trump’s long-standing criticism of U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding the Middle East. She plays clips of Trump condemning the Iraq War and warning about potential conflicts with Iran, emphasizing his portrayal as a strong and truthful leader.
Notable Quotes:
"The war in Iraq was a big fat mistake."
[06:31]
"Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate and he's weak and he's ineffective."
[05:55]
Shift in Trump’s Stance and Attack on Tucker Carlson
Candace observes a dramatic shift in Trump's rhetoric, where he begins attacking Tucker Carlson, a former ally, for opposing war efforts. She interprets Trump's attacks as indicative of his drifting away from MAGA values and aligning more with neocons and pro-war factions.
Notable Quote:
"Donald Trump, please do not become Israel's bitch."
[22:32]
Israel’s Internal Struggles and Netanyahu’s Role
The podcast delves into the internal turmoil within Israel, particularly focusing on Netanyahu's actions leading up to the recent conflict. Candace questions Netanyahu’s decisions, such as the delayed response to Hamas attacks and the alleged use of the Hannibal Directive, which she claims led to the indiscriminate killing of hostages, including Israelis.
Notable Quote:
"How many of their own people did they kill?"
[09:10]
Critique of Media and Propaganda
Candace criticizes the Western media for supporting Netanyahu's narrative and suppressing alternative viewpoints. She accuses media outlets of running propaganda to justify ongoing wars, manipulating public perception by framing dissenters as anti-Semitic or unpatriotic.
Notable Quote:
"They have their marching orders. Because virtually everything that we have watched and listened to or over the last three years has been one long unhinged propagandist effort in preparation for this war."
[10:45]
Audience and Expert Opinions
Candace incorporates opinions from figures like Dave Smith, who express disappointment in Trump’s actions and advocate for his impeachment. She also references Charlie Kirk’s disbelief at Israel’s inability to respond effectively to Hamas attacks, further questioning Netanyahu’s leadership.
Notable Quote:
"Donald Trump should be impeached and removed for this one. And not, not on some ridiculous Nancy Pelosi."
[22:32]
Historical Context and Moral Implications
A significant portion of the discussion centers around the historical establishment of Israel and its moral implications. Candace argues that the creation of Israel involved the forced displacement and endangerment of Palestinians, labeling these actions as inherently immoral and questioning the moral high ground Israel holds today.
Notable Quote:
"The entire story of Israel has been immoral."
[29:48]
Jordan Peterson’s Encounter on Jubilee
Candace recounts an interaction involving Jordan Peterson on the Jubilee show, where he debated a participant about Christianity and anti-Semitism. She interprets this as a tactic to suppress legitimate criticism of Israel by equating it with religious offense, thereby stifling discourse and fueling her argument against Israel's actions.
Notable Quote:
"You're really quite something, you are."
[30:37]

She emphasizes the need for common sense over blind allegiance to any political ideology, advocating for genuine America First policies that prioritize peace and moral integrity.
