Candace Owens covers occult symbolism, Charlie Kirk's assassination, and Trump's foreign policy betrayal
Candace Owens delivers a solo episode covering Freemasonic symbolism, her theory that Charlie Kirk was ritually sacrificed, Erika Kirk's behavior and alleged ambitions, and a critique of Donald Trump's handling of the Epstein files, the Iran bombing campaign, and his loyalty to Israel over American interests.
Summary
Candace Owens opens with an extended argument that occult and Freemasonic practices are real, active forces at the highest levels of power — not fantasy — citing the Paris fashion show by Matière Fécale, Marina Abramović's performances, and the CERN ceremony as examples of symbolism being deployed in plain sight. She then presents a newly acquired "Freemason Bible" sent to her by a viewer, arguing that its illustrations of a pentagram with a "place of sacrifice or worship" at the center directly mirror the seating arrangement in which Charlie Kirk was killed. She concludes that Kirk was not randomly assassinated but was deliberately sacrificed, and that Erika Kirk's subsequent behavior — including rapid media appearances, offers of raises to the failed security guard, and the promotion of a future presidential run — confirms a premeditated agenda. Owens then delivers a sharp critique of Donald Trump, arguing he has betrayed his base on every major promise: covering up the Epstein files, reversing MAHA commitments by boosting glyphosate and white phosphorus production, involving the US in Iran and Venezuela for Israel's benefit, and signaling that a ground troop deployment is not off the table. She closes by urging American military members to conscientiously object and directing Christian Zionists who believe the conflict is messianic to enlist themselves.
Key Takeaways
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Occult Practices Are Real and Operating in Plain Sight
Candace Owens: The topic of witchcraft and spellcasting is reserved really for the category of fantasy — if it's being discussed at all, it's being mocked. Hocus Pocus or Harry Potter. What sort of crazy person would believe that ancient pagan practices are still happening in the real world? Maybe in some remote third-world village in Africa, but in the developed western world, at the very top of government, you would be mad to even suggest it — even when it's actually in our faces.
Take, for example, this recent Paris fashion show collection from a brand known as Matière Fécale. Just so you know, that translates to "fecal matter." Must have really been an inspired show. Feel matter. But don't you dare take it a step further and think that these people could be into some dark stuff. That would make you, again, a crazy person.
What about the much-celebrated visual artist to the stars, the Serbian one? She's also an artist to the politicians. She does spirit cooking — literally, that was what was in those emails. Marina Abramović. She puts on performances in front of the most powerful people in the world. Performances like in 1974 when she sought to, quote, re-evoke the energy of extreme bodily pain using a large petroleum-drenched pentagram, which the artist lit on fire at the start of the performance. Standing outside of the pentagram, Abramović cut her nails, her toenails, and her hair. When she finished with each, she threw the clippings into the flames, creating a burst of light each time, burning the pentagram, representing a physical and mental purification.
That's just art, guys. Just art. Don't think further. That's just art.
And on the matter of science — even when it's in our faces, like when the world's leading nuclear physicists are caught cloaked before a statue of Shiva, stabbing a woman in an occult ceremony for CERN — well, that's just science. What you are looking at on your screens right now is science. The best science. The best that science has to offer. The most ingenious people.
And I would agree that it is modern science. In fact, the entire thrust of what was deemed the Scientific Revolution — a move away from the natural order of things and toward empiricism and rationality — began because of a long, organized Freemasonic effort to remove humanity from our innate spiritual understanding. They wanted you to know that you can now ignore your God-given instincts. You can set aside your subconscious — that subconscious that comes online and lets you know that something is not right. You can just set that aside and trust the experts instead.
In fact, the experts constantly reinforce to us that our subconscious is wrong, or it's just weird, and in some cases, it's immoral. It's devilish even. You want to go see your grandmother while she's dying in the middle of COVID? What are you, Satan? You're being guided by Satan. If you don't listen to Dr. Fauci, that's who you're being guided by. Because there's no greater source of authority in their world than the government, which they control. That's the idea.
Candace's Premonition of Danger Before Charlie Kirk's Assassination
Candace Owens: I promise you, on everything, that when Savannah, my manager, came down the stairs and delivered the news that Charlie had been shot, I went into my husband's office and I cried and I immediately said to him, "He was betrayed. Charlie was betrayed." And my husband said back to me, "You don't know that. We don't know anything yet." And I said, "I know."
Now, empirically, that argument fails. I get it. But no one can explain why or how I had the sense of dread in the very week leading up to Charlie's assassination. No one can offer why I knew that there was danger coming specifically to a school, and why I felt that it was related to bees — why the feeling was so overwhelming that I hired extra security, took my podcast off air, and pulled my children out of school. I had never experienced a dread like that in my life. Ever.
No one can also explain how exactly it is that Charlie knew he was going to die young, and that his death would specifically be related to Turning Point USA. He said he knew from the moment he signed on the dotted line that he was going to die young. What exactly is the expert explanation for that deep internal knowing that he had, that has now been proven correct? There isn't one. What Charlie sensed was obviously right.
Charlie Kirk Was Betrayed — and Likely Sacrificed
Candace Owens: The moment that Charlie was shot, I knew what happened to him was not random. He was betrayed. Charlie Kirk was the first casualty of the war in Iran. I'm certain of that. And it's deeper than that. I am now of the opinion that he was likely sacrificed. And I want to tell you why I got there.
You guys know, if you're part of my book club, I've been doing a lot of research into Freemasonry. About a month ago, while we took a break to prepare for our Bride of Charlie series, someone sent me this — I'm showing you this is what they sent me in the mail — something known as a Freemason Bible. I knew that these existed because of my studying Sigmund Freud and looking into the fact that he had inherited one from his father. The backstory of this particular one, which came with a handwritten letter, is that a 33rd-degree Freemason out in Oklahoma died and all of his belongings were left in a home that was eventually auctioned off. The person who had this in his possession — his relative was the person who acquired the home — went in and burnt everything in it, thinking that it was obviously just carrying bad spirits. But he, for some reason, had the sense that he should keep this one item. He kept it in the back of his truck for over a decade. And when he saw me covering the history of Freemasonry and what they believe, he felt that this was the reason he had kept it all those years. So he just sent it to me to provide me further insight into what they believe and what they practice at the top of Freemasonry.
This is not your granddad's Freemason lodge. Oh, my dad was in the lodge, it was just a — no. This is not that. That is not what 33rd-degree Freemasonry is.
So I flipped through this immediately — after we did douse it in holy water. Within the very first pages there was a pentagram with various illustrations inside of it, notes around it. I'm going to show you that now. At the bottom, in case you can't see what is being pointed to in the middle, it says "place of sacrifice or worship." In the middle there. So I want you to note that in this Freemason Bible, it illustrates that a sacrifice must be made in the center of a pentagon. Five sides, like a house. And I thought: how curious that Charlie was indeed seated in the center of a pentagon when he was killed. Let me demonstrate that for you.
Freemasonry, the Seal of Solomon, and Occult Symbolism
Candace Owens: It was my independent study into Sigmund Freud that led me to learning about B'nai B'rith, the Jewish Freemasonic organization whom I believe have been running our country since at least the Civil War. I've done my best to consume and learn about what it is that they believe and what they practice. This is occult mysticism. The Satanic Panic that happened was real. Children are being harmed. They have been harmed in occult ceremonies for a very long time. This is an ancient practice, and this is not to be confused with Judaism in any way. In fact, they rely on you confusing it. In no shape or form does this have anything to do with any of the monotheistic religions. Judaism is merely a mask that these pagan occultists wear. Just like Christianity is one of the masks that they wear.
The Star of David, as they term it, is in fact an occult symbol meant to represent King Solomon's ring. There is no way that you can avoid this. It is quite literally known as the Seal of Solomon. This is on Wikipedia. This is that accessible. It reads: "It is often depicted in the shape of either a hexagram or a pentagram." In mystic Jewish lore, the ring is variously described as having given Solomon the power to command the supernatural. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an amulet or a talisman, a symbol or character in medieval magic, in Renaissance magic, occultism, alchemy.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is literal witchcraft. We cannot beat these people and we cannot win if we refuse to even recognize what it is that we are up against. We have to recognize what it is and who it is that we are up against. And again, it has nothing to do with Christianity. It has nothing to do with Judaism. That is why, as is further stipulated on this Wikipedia page, the Seal of Solomon was once featured on the flag of Nigeria and the flag of Morocco. Those are not known to be Jewish countries. Freemasons worship Solomon as the master architect. They believe that he gave them the keys to build and therefore control societies. This is how you build a matrix. That is the reason why Aleister Crowley — who was a master occultist — created an entire religion around this, put together a series of books and a series of pentacles meant to summon various spirits. I want you to hear me when I say that they are intentionally summoning demons. The first book he wrote was called The Book of Evil Spirits. And look at that Star of David all over it.
I believe that the manner of Charlie's death was also intended to cast a spell. That's the only conclusion I keep arriving at. I kept asking the question: why did they broadcast this? Making us watch Charlie die was diabolical.
Father Ripperger on "Revealing the Method"
Candace Owens: Although this priest that I'm about to show you is discussing Satanism more broadly — and he's not saying this in the context of Charlie Kirk — I want you to take a listen to what he says. This is Father Ripperger. He is going to describe the nature of this sort of constant symbolism, this obsession with them almost having to reveal to us what they're doing, like wanting to get close to revealing it and then gaslighting us. Take a listen.
Father Ripperger: The technical term we tend to use for that is called the "revealing of the method." Basically, it can be connected to a curse — they could curse something so that its distribution becomes more extensive and more people watch it. But a lot of times what that is, is that Satanists, even though it's a cult and the fact that it's hidden — there is still a side to diabolical psychology that, even when they remain hidden, they still want to show themselves in some way. They still want to reveal themselves in something. They can't help it. You see it with Satanists, you see it with Freemasons when they're involved in certain things. It's the same stuff you see across the board in these particular groups. They just tend to reveal stuff. But their hope is that even in the revealing, you don't know. There's a sadistic delight they get out of basically putting it to you without you even knowing it.
Candace Owens: Yes, that is accurate. It is diabolical and they are clearly sadistic in what they are doing. And of course, there is an element of it they enjoy — to gaslight you right after they do these sorts of things.
That piece about symbolism being overt and in your face is also made clear in the very early pages of this Freemason Bible — that symbolism is actually crucial. In fact, it's a science to them. You're not imagining things.
Right here at the top, it states — again, from this Freemason Bible — it reads: "It has been correctly stated that symbolism constitutes the very essence of Freemasonry. Freemasonry is essentially the science of symbolism."
Further down, it offers a section entitled "The Science of Symbolism Explained." It reads: "A symbol or an emblem is an occult representation of something unknown or concealed by a sign or a thing that is known."
Something you recognize, carrying a different, deeper meaning. And it gives some examples. Incredibly — you wouldn't believe me if I didn't show it to you — it gives the example of a square: in Freemasonry, an emblem or symbol of morality. A plumb line — the symbol of rectitude. And the beehive as a symbol of industry.
Yes, they do communicate to one another using symbols, as I have maintained from the very beginning. By the way, Kash Patel continually stressing "33 hours" was not random. It did not feel subtle. It seemed to me, and to many others, that that was some sort of signaling — 33, 33, everyone was just saying 33 all the time.
Erika Kirk's Behavior and the Presidential Agenda
Candace Owens: So to the routinely gaslit public, I would like to validate your every instinct — most especially about the subsequent behavior of Turning Point USA as an organization. Behavior that looked to us as though it was diabolical. There was apparently, sadly for them, not enough empiricism, rationality, or spellcasting in the universe to override our sense that something was and is deeply wrong.
What did they give us? The horrific murder of a man, followed by the joyful coronation of his wife, who is now inviting his enemies onto the very ship that he built. Spiritual ick is what we felt.
They sent out their broadcasters to cast something more broadly to the public. What they cast was: she's a grieving widow, that's what Charlie would have wanted. But to what end? I believe it's pretty obvious now. There was an ultimate goal of raising Erika's political profile as a potential presidential candidate down the line. That was explicitly and almost immediately floated by her dear friend Tyler Bowyer, who she can't remember how she met. Take a listen to what he said a mere 12 days after Charlie's assassination.
Tyler Bowyer: You know, it's funny. I had had conversations with Charlie about that episode. He was like, "Man, Erika could be so much bigger and better than me at almost everything." We'd laugh all the time because people were like, "Charlie was going to be president someday." He believed firmly that Erika was going to be president someday.
Candace Owens: There it is again — them telling us the private conversations were the exact opposite of everything that Charlie was saying publicly. Women, get married, have children, have lots of children, stay home. That's more important. In the days leading up, Erika said she stayed back because Charlie said, "Home needs you." That's why she didn't go to the September 10th event. Charlie was every day telling people that family is the most important thing. But privately, when he sat down with Tyler Bowyer, he was like, "Erika's going to be president. That's what I want for my wife."
And he wasn't the only one, because you have to go backward to really realize how deranged everything was. Here is Frank Turek on October 7th, just three weeks following Charlie's assassination. Take a listen.
Frank Turek: I used to say to him, the ticket in 2028 is going to be Vance–Kirk. And I said, I don't know if you want to take it because I don't think you're going to have the same effect as the president of Turning Point USA. But between you and me and our listeners — I'm not giving up on the Vance–Kirk ticket.
Interviewer: I think Erika would be an amazing president someday.
Candace Owens: That, my friend, would be an example of what Father Ripperger described as diabolical psychology. Like, oh, Charlie was going to be the president, but you know what? It was Vance–Kirk is what we were hoping for — but now he's gone. I just realized we don't have to let go of that hope because there's still a Kirk, and there's still a President Vance, and that could be really beautiful and exciting. That could be what Charlie wanted in the end.
And of course, here is the very enthusiastic Mikey McCoy echoing that sentiment. Take a listen.
Mikey McCoy: He left behind these blueprints for her, and for you.
Interviewer: Yeah, there you go.
Mikey McCoy: Yeah, I we don't really ever know what the outcome's going to be. I definitely thought maybe there would be a Vance–Kirk ticket. Maybe there still will be a Vance–Kirk ticket.
Candace Owens: Beautiful. Just beautiful. Who could deny this sort of destiny — Erika Kirk being the president in her husband's place — and they're smiling and laughing about that plausibility? We're never going to see those blueprints, guys. But they did say to Mikey McCoy, my 21-year-old person who I have no idea how you even got this job as chief of staff — "These blueprints are for you." I didn't responsibly give them to someone running my estate, to lawyers. No, I wanted to leave these for you and to Erika, because she would understand these blueprints.
With everything that I have thus far uncovered about Erika, I do believe that that was her ultimate goal: the White House.
Erika Kirk as Psychopath and Pathological Liar
Candace Owens: I think Elizabeth Lane read Erika correctly when she posited that she may be a psychopath, because in my opinion only a psychopath could, after her husband's public assassination, offer a raise to Dan Flood, the security guard who failed Charlie in every possible manner on September 10th. Only a psychopath who does not experience human emotions in the way that humans experience them would be capable of offering and then giving an in-home interview to the New York Times in the immediate days following her husband's assassination — the New York Times, a publication her husband hated — and then tell that journalist that the least traumatizing part was the idea of raising her children without a father.
A psychopath is the best answer I can come up with for why she felt compelled to go into the office the same week and bring her kids every day, rather than tending to their every emotional need at home as they come to the realization that they will never see their father again. A psychopath is my best explanation for why she told Jesse Watters that she had zero fear — none at all, not scared to walk out the door the very next day with her kids in tow. I think nearly everyone in the world felt a little less safe in the days following Charlie's assassination. But not his wife, Erika Kirk.
Erika lies pathologically. And the media is trying to tell us that it's perfectly understandable, relatable even — it's actually divine. She lies because she's so godly. So godly that she forgave the person who allegedly murdered her husband before she even saw evidence of his guilt. And despite an overwhelming amount of evidence mounting to the contrary, Erika is so godly that she even helped to validate the implausible parts of the narrative regarding Tyler Robinson. The implausible parts — like the neck stopping a .30-06 bullet. She crafted the Superman steel neck narrative and all. No questions. Just faith. Deep faith. And lies. A lot of lies.
And whatever the attempt was with Erika — pay attention to me, media — it has failed categorically. Stop it. All of your little media spells are failing as of late because we've recognized that they are very easily defeated by truth, loud truth, and more and more people are daring to speak it. More and more people are feeling inspired by Tucker Carlson to stand up and recognize what it is we are fighting in this world. True evil — old school, ancient evil.
We even have comedians daring to make jokes about the obvious. Like Tim Dillon. Take a listen.
Tim Dillon: You look at the Kirk thing, right? Remember that? You look at that and try to zoom out and go, "All right, tragic death on its face. We don't — we see a furry, the furry's boyfriend." Then we zoom out. We go, "Wait, the wife's weird. Something up with the wife. The organization's weird. Three weeks after the guy's dead, she's out there with sparklers. They're doing Cirque du Soleil. Something's off. Something's weird." Now we find out the wife is — it's beyond weird. It's creepy. And there's a very good chance that this woman was his handler. That he was this powerful young guy who raised a lot of money for a lot of people and took a lot of money from a lot of people. And money is never free. So you think about it — how do you direct a guy like that who's incredibly important? He's running the largest young voter registration organization. He's handling large sums of money. He's out there sculpting narrative as it regards domestic and foreign policy. So you have a handler who comes in. She may have loved him. I'm sure she loved him. Why wouldn't a handler love her husband? Because even though she was his Mossad handler and probably had him killed — no marriage is perfect. Not one. She may have been his handler, and they came to her one day and said, "He found out you're his handler" — or she might have told them. She might have said, "Listen, we got problems." And I'm not the only one saying this. We're not breaking news here. We're reviewing, we're analyzing. This woman may have called someone up and said, "We got bad news. This guy found all the laundered money and now he knows I'm his handler and he thinks that invalidates the marriage." And they were like, "Is there anything we can do?" And she goes, "I don't know." And then they go, "Well, we might have to, you know." And she cried, whatever. And I'm not saying any of that happened. I'm saying that's more reasonable than what we're being told. Nothing that we're being told is reasonable whatsoever. It doesn't make any sense.
Tucker Carlson's "Spell" Tweet and the Public Awakening
Candace Owens: We are very quickly arriving at a moment. I noted from my producer that some of you guys on YouTube got cut off for the first four minutes of the show. Just to let you know, we were speaking about people who were having a panic, a meltdown on X because of Tucker Carlson's tweet — a very simple tweet. He said, "Pray the spell breaks and the world is saved." What I am positing is the reason why they are so triggered is because of the word "spell," which implies witchcraft, which implies the occult. And that is what this is.
That is the moment we are arriving in: we need to wake up to what it is that the people at the top believe. What is their guiding theology that keeps us constantly embedded in wars in foreign territories? Constantly murdering children, looking the other way when children are being harmed.
Trump's Betrayal of His Base
Candace Owens: This brings me to President Trump, who has actually transformed into the longest-running joke. It didn't take Charlie Kirk's death for me to wake up to what he was very fast becoming and what he now is. And I will have a lot to say to him and about him.
Look, I have not exactly found the correct words to communicate how I feel about President Donald Trump. I sort of ignore the topic of his existence altogether because it kind of sickens me. As it should. If you were a 2015, 2016 MAGA person, catching all the figurative bullets for supporting him, standing up to the never-Trumpers who are now running his administration — this level of deceit and betrayal should sicken you. The human spirit isn't really meant to contend with that sort of deceit. You're not supposed to even fathom a scenario where someone like Charlie Kirk quite literally dedicates his entire professional career, builds up an organization meant to help Trump, to empower Trump, conservative principles one way or the other — and in return, when Charlie Kirk is assassinated in front of the world, Trump dedicates a total of two, three tweets at most, never demanding an investigation. And one of those tweets he dedicates to Charlie Kirk is an AI image of Charlie hugging an Israeli flag.
Trump has shown more interest in debunking the mainstream media narrative about whether or not he's balding than he showed any interest in investigating who murdered a person who was supposed to be his dear friend.
How exactly are we supposed to process that? I think Trump has loyalty to no one but himself. It probably wasn't even anything that deep that they offered him. It was probably just like, "Hey, we'll give you a piece of real estate in Gaza with your name on it. Favorable headlines in the New York Times. We put that on your desk every morning and tell you this is how everybody thinks." Honestly, that's probably all it took for Trump to betray not just the legacy and the memory of Charlie Kirk, but also his supporters — the very supporters who followed him into battle, some of whom literally spent time in prison after January 6th because they believed in him.
Trump has betrayed every last single one of us. Make no mistake about that. Trump is now an ever-Trumper. The very people that we had to fight to get Trump into office — he is now partnered with them and insulting us. He thinks we're too stupid to notice. He promised low gas prices. He promised no more forever wars, no more involvement in Middle East conflict. We're now getting the exact opposite. And that's happening because he's a coward. He is a coward for doing this to the American people. That's going to be his legacy: a person who could not stand up to Bibi Netanyahu. A person who just loves money and loves the idea of his name on anything. This is what the world will remember about Donald Trump.
Trump's Policy Record: IHRA Definition, Epstein, MAHA, and Iran
Candace Owens: To recap — thus far, in one year, his administration has worked to allow the slow erosion of the First Amendment on college campuses. Special carve-outs for antisemitism — so in effect, hate speech laws. There's a new IHRA definition for antisemitism. A definition so broad that it includes, quote, "accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide than to the interests of their own nations."
That's interesting, because Trump rather hilariously violates his own law when he discusses his donor, Miriam Adelson. Take a listen to what he says.
Donald Trump: Miriam, stand up, please. She loves this country. Her and her husband are so incredible. We miss him so dearly. But I actually asked — I'm going to get her in trouble with this — I actually asked her once: "So Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel?" She refused to answer. That might mean Israel, I must say. We love you. Thank you, darling, for being here.
Candace Owens: So Trump is saying that the person he took $100 million, $200 million from — in the end — loves Israel more than she loves America. She served in the IDF. That's what he's saying to you.
Trump's administration then delayed the release of — and then gaslit us over — the Epstein files. He called the files a Democratic hoax. He asked us famously, "Are we still talking about the Epstein files?" Are we still talking about children being harmed? Yeah. Make no mistake, that translates into providing cover for Jeffrey Epstein, who was an occult Jewish pedophile.
Trump told us no more forever wars. They definitely marketed themselves as pro-peace — him and Vance, that was the ticket they ran on — until Bibi Netanyahu said Venezuela's antisemitic. Then we took out Maduro. And guess who benefited from that? Venezuela sent its first oil shipment to Israel in years. Your gas prices are going up. Your taxpaying dollars were sent to support the military operation in Venezuela, which has thus far benefited Israel. And my best guess is that's at least part of the reason Trump is obsessed with acquiring Greenland, because they have untapped crude oil — an estimated 31 billion barrels' worth. That sure would go a long way for Israel's incessant need to bomb and destroy.
Now, maybe you voted for Trump because you were a MAHA mom. Have no fear — the traitor is here. Because on February 26th, Trump signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act to boost the production of glyphosate, which is what's found in Monsanto's weed killer. That is the cancer-causing agent. We know it causes cancer. MAHA moms fought so that would not be a thing anymore. Toxic pesticides are apparently back on the table. But don't miss this part: the largely overshadowed part of the order mentioned the manufacturer of munitions used by the United States military. Bayer, which makes glyphosate, is also the only company in the United States that manufactures a form of elemental phosphorus — white phosphorus — which is used to make the weed killer. That white phosphorus is also used to make munitions deployed as smoke screens and incendiary devices that can violently burn property or people. And you're not going to believe me, but guess what is being used right now in Lebanon: Israel is unlawfully using white phosphorus. I wonder where they're getting that from.
It was all peace, peace, peace — until Israel gets involved. They don't know peace. They don't want peace. Bibi instructed Trump to bomb Iran almost immediately. And it was at first limited to just hitting their nuclear sites. He promised us no involvement in overseas conflicts, but they at least pretended for a little while that it was only going to be a limited operation. Some of us knew better, because it's never-ending.
The obstacle of Charlie Kirk was subsequently removed, and now where are we? The United States is preemptively bombing Iran. The explanation we're receiving is: because Israel was going to bomb Iran, we went ahead and did it for them, just in case Iran responded by hitting American military bases. That's dizzying.
Marco Rubio came right out and said exactly that. Take a listen.
Marco Rubio: The assessment was that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them, we would suffer much higher casualties. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher killed. And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't act.
Candace Owens: Under that scenario — if Israel was going to cause and set off that chain of events — wouldn't it have made more sense to stop Israel? Don't bomb Iran, stop Israel from bombing Iran, prevent Iran from retaliating by going after American bases. Just don't understand how the logic is: Israel can't stop bombing people, so we have to bomb people for them. That's what he's telling you. That's what we're doing.
We just killed 150 Iranian civilians preemptively. Don't worry, it was preemptively — because Israel was probably going to bomb them. So long as you say "preemptively," it makes it okay.
Karoline Leavitt, the Draft, and Boots on the Ground
Candace Owens: Let's actually take a look at some live footage of the peace we are currently spreading in the Middle East. I will reiterate my perspective: Trump allowing this to happen makes him a traitor. It also makes him a coward. You would do well to accept that fact. Stop playing left or right. Stop saying it would have been different if a Democrat was in office. Stop playing Republican or Democrat. Wake up. These people occupy both sides. I believe very much that world wars are in effect global resets. That's why they always want them. They use propaganda to convince people to sign up for their own slaughter.
Something that lives in my mind rent-free is Norman Finkelstein informing me that Israel had a literal and actual government policy known as "mowing the lawn" in Gaza, where the IDF would at random begin shooting and killing Palestinians to ensure that the population didn't grow. When I see everything going on right now, and there being no reason but an insistence that we all have to get ready for Armageddon — this feels to me like an opportunity to simply mow the lawn of people who stand against them. Population control has always been the aim, whether by vaccines, abortion propaganda, my body my choice — wake up. Left or right, it's the same end.
We have Karoline Leavitt signaling that a draft is not off the table, because Trump is smart. Take a listen.
Karoline Leavitt: It has been and will continue to be an air campaign. And President Trump wisely does not remove options off the table. I know a lot of politicians like to do that quickly, but the president as commander-in-chief wants to continue to assess the success of this military operation. It's not part of the current plan right now, but the president again wisely keeps his options on the table. As commander-in-chief, there's no greater priority or responsibility to this president than protecting the American people and protecting our troops and our bases in the Middle East, which Iran has been threatening for 47 years. They have killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers. And President Trump was not going to allow Iran to attack our bases and our troops first. That's why he took this historic action by launching Operation Epic Fury.
Candace Owens: That's right. He only allows Israel to do that. Only Israel is allowed to attack America. Only Israel is allowed to get away with the Lavon Affair. Only Israel is allowed to get away with what they did at the USS Liberty. That is a right reserved for Israel — to attack and use Americans as they see fit. I would say the question is not if, but when, that option regarding ground troops is going to be executed. I think it's actually a crucial part of their plan, because it's time to mow the lawn.
We also have Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz declining to exclude the need for boots on the ground. Take a listen.
Interviewer: Do you think eventually there will be a need for boots on the ground?
Benny Gantz: I would not exclude it, for those reasons or others. But we'll have to see how it goes forward.
Interviewer: And will that include Israeli boots on the ground?
Benny Gantz: I exclude nothing. We've been waiting for 47 years and we've come to a point where every necessary means should be taken in order to achieve our goals.
Candace Owens: It's just amazing. I love that the follow-up question was, "Is that going to include Israeli boots on the ground?" Like it's implied it's not Israeli boots on the ground, and as a follow-up they're like, oh, okay, if you do it, will you also include Israeli boots on the ground?
That's why Israel supporters like Bill Ackman went rabid over the weekend over me suggesting that maybe military men shouldn't sign up. Maybe you shouldn't sign up to join the military in America if this is the circumstance that we live in. Bill Ackman was retweeting people stipulating that it's actually a federal crime to tell people not to sign up for the military. Why is that? Why does the idea of Americans not serving have them so stressed out?
No American son or daughter should die for Israel. Flat out. Goyim, stand down. Go home. Find the legal means to exit the military, because there are legal means. You can in fact conscientiously object to military service. Military men, in case you didn't know, swear an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America. I don't really see that happening right now. I don't even see Trump doing that — from his flagrant violations of free speech to freedom of religion. Trump recently fired Keri Prewitt Bowler from the religious committee because Zionists didn't like her Catholic perspectives.
Can anybody meaningfully point out to me which specific portion of the Constitution our commander-in-chief is currently doing a good job protecting? Show me which guaranteed constitutional right you believe that Trump will not violate for Israel. Because I feel like right now we are all being forced into the servitude of a foreign nation. That seems to be the American reality right now.
By all means, allow the Mark Levins, the Ben Shapiros to sign
