One of these high-level commanders says,
don't be worried because Trump is anointed by Jesus Christ
to bring back the return.
Oh, no.
To bring back Jesus' return on earth.
Commander claimed Trump was anointed by Jesus
to cause Armageddon to justify the Iran tax.
Wow.
See, that's like up there where the Allah will protect me.
Exactly.
The same shit.
It's the same shit.
It's just coming from a different religion.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's the same mindset.
And he said, the superior had a big grin on his face
when he said all of this,
which made his message seem even more crazy.
Wow, bro.
Scary shit.
That's just as scary.
Now it's important to remember
that we are up against abject evil.
We are up against a theocratic nightmare.
People who are prepared to do anything
on grounds of religious prophecy.
Granted, we're supposed to believe that about Iran,
but it seems equally, if not more so applicable
to our allies, designers, as well as American,
Christian evangelicals.
But that's okay because we can obviously rely
on the atheists in America to prevent us
from getting into some sort of crazy holy war, right?
You have now this guy, Joe Kent.
He quit this week.
It was a big story.
I think he was the counterintelligence guy.
And he said, I can't go along with this
because you know what?
He's been listening to too much Tucker Carlson.
It's, you know, the Jews made us do it.
It's just another version of anti-Semitism
that comes out.
First it was BDS, then it was their colonizers
and genocide, which it wasn't,
and all these other reasons,
like you can't have a state in the world
that's based on religion.
And now the big answer is, no, Israel made us do it.
We're Israel's bitch.
I don't think we're Israel's bitch.
I think we're Israel's ally.
But, you know, if I have to be on one side
of this MAGA thing, either Trump or Tucker Carlson,
Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes,
I'll be with Trump on this one.
You heard that right.
Bill Maher, a guy who made his name dunking on religiosity,
is now fighting with Donald Trump
because the other side of MAGA is so dangerous.
The Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes,
they are so dangerous.
So the atheist Bill Maher is now defending
a state based off of religion,
and there happens to be just one state
based off of religion
that Bill Maher doesn't have a problem with,
despite being one of the loudest atheists on earth.
Fascinating.
Fascinating that that's the one that he likes.
I can't figure out why.
Listen, Joe can't and Tucker together.
So Joe is saying the quote, darker theory
is that Trump is under threat from Israel.
Mind you, that's what he's saying.
And he also suggests, well, and Charlie Kirk was too.
And then he says, now I'm not saying
the Israelis killed Charlie Kirk.
But there are questions.
Let me say, anyone who believes Israel killed Charlie Kirk,
you've lost your mind.
That is a moon bat theory.
It's a pretty weird world when you have
people like Ted Cruz and Bill Maher in lockstep.
And you start to, once you like decipher this down,
you recognize like, all right,
well, what are the tie that binds here?
Because obviously, Ted Cruz and Bill Maher
don't have a heck of a lot in common politically
aside from this topic.
So what could it be?
I mean, you have very, very different opinions
when it comes to religion too.
And yet they align perfectly
when it comes to the defense of Israel.
It's fascinating.
And this has been a big part of the noticing phenomenon
that you have Christian evangelicals.
I assume that's what Ted Cruz is,
even though I'm not sure he believes in anything sincerely.
And then you have atheists who are ethnically Jewish
and Bill Maher who is equally and as adamant
a defender of Israel as the most rabid,
hardcore pro-religion version of Israel defenders.
And then suddenly you start to connect the dots
and you go, oh, this is about Zionism.
This is not about religion at all, really.
In truth, and this is the sinister thing
that we're not supposed to talk about or notice
is that it's about ethnic supremacy, really.
Like that's what it is.
So much so that Americans are supposed to fight, die
and at minimum fund their bloodlust
as they expand their empire to the detriment of our own.
To the detriment of our own country, our own people,
our own prosperity, our own freedom,
our own safety, our own security,
all of it, we must sacrifice all of it
because ultimately we are a lesser people.
You have to remember that.
And if you disagree, that's because you're hateful, see?
So they get to hate you, but if you go,
wait, I'm not lesser than you.
They go, oh, how could you hate us like that?
Oh, interesting paradigm you've put me into.
I either go along with your bloodlust and madness
or I'm labeled a hateful bigot or whatever.
It's an interesting paradox.
I can't see the manipulatory tactics
are very, very hard to identify in that, aren't they?
And the manipulation is so extensive
that in fact you have to turn a blind eye,
you have to look the other direction
even when it comes to the assassination
of your fellow countrymen.
And yes, I'm tying this back into my prior episodes
about the Charlie Kirk assassination.
I think it has been enough time
that I need to break this down.
I think this is, we've learned a lot over the past 10 days
or really the past month since I've talked about this
that there's more that we need to unpack.
So let's start with that Ted Cruz little sermon there.
He says, if you think that Israel took out Charlie Kirk,
you've lost your mind.
Now, granted, did Joe Kent say that?
No, never once.
So let's refresh your memory.
What did he say?
Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.
How did you reach that conclusion?
I think this is key.
I mean, this would be more challenging to explain
had the Secretary of State, the President
and the Speaker of House, the House not come out and said
that we conducted this attack at this time
because the Israelis were about to do so.
So that takes away the argument
that there was an imminent threat
as in Iran was planning to attack us.
He speaks to the broader issue.
Who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East?
Who is in charge of when we decided to go to war or not?
In this case, the Israelis drove the decision
to take this action,
which we knew would set off a series of events,
meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
Okay, so that's the first argument that he made
and never once does he mention the religion of Israel at all.
He says that Israel is dictating our foreign policy.
They were the catalyst for this war.
He opposes that.
Now, mind you, Joe Kent is an Iran hawk.
He is not fond of the Iranian leadership at all.
In many ways, he and I part ways on that.
I don't have any love for the Iranian leadership either,
but he is much more militarily inclined
to confront them than I am.
I strongly believe that they are 6,000 miles away
and don't have the capacity to actually really touch us
on the homeland, and therefore they aren't our problem.
They are Israel's problem.
And don't get it twisted.
That's the primary reason
that all of the Zionists have come out
in opposition to Joe Kent's claims
is that he has totally given up the goes.
He's given up the game
that yes, our foreign policy is being dictated by Zionists.
That's obviously true.
And that's something that they cannot permit
because that's exactly what they do all the time.
They push, they prod, they coerce us into fighting wars
on behalf of a nation that is not our own.
And as long as we don't talk about that,
well, then that can continue.
So if we are talking about it, it's a big problem.
So they're gonna smear you, obviously.
But it's very, very difficult to contend
with Joe Kent's argument as to Israeli influence
in our foreign policy.
Obviously, if you've looked at the past 25 years
or you've followed the show at all,
or you've read anything at all over the past 25 years,
you've probably come to the same conclusion.
But a much easier angle of refutation and attack
is to go after what he said about Charlie Kirk.
Now, did he say that Israel or the Jews
took out Charlie Kirk?
No, that's not what he said.
What he said was I had leads
as the director of counterterrorism
that I was not permitted to run down in that role.
And that's the part that I wanna unpack today.
Charlie Kirk has killed publicly in a very horrific way
and we're not really even allowed to look into that at all.
And Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's
closest advisors and he also advocated heavily
against a war with Iran.
He was in the Oval Office in the lead-up
to the 12-day war.
I wasn't particularly close with Charlie.
He was very gracious to me when I was running for Congress,
very, very supportive.
So we knew each other.
And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this earth
was in June in the West Wing in the stairway.
And I said hi to him and he looked me in the eye
and he said very loudly and it's a small,
you've been in the West Wing, it's small,
it's a tight space.
And he said, Joe, stop us from getting
into a war with Iran.
Very loudly.
He was single-minded and he walked off
and he went, I believe, into the Oval.
Now I've played you about 20 clips
over the past six months of Charlie Kirk
very eloquently laying out his reasons
that he opposed a regime change war in Iran.
This is Israel's war.
The worst possible case scenario is Iran says,
okay, you humiliated us, you killed all of our leaders,
we're gonna go make this a regional mess
and try to get as many people involved as possible.
They're gonna go after Americans,
they're gonna go after Saudis,
they're gonna go after.
Everybody imaginable just to create a big mess
and to try to draw the world into it.
Here's where I stand and where the MAGA base stands.
You do not want U.S. boots on the ground,
you do not want American-Canadian involvement.
He was very explicit and he seemed to understand
the topic at a pretty high level honestly.
But today we're gonna get into the text messages
that were released by my friend Brett Weinstein
about this very topic.
And these text messages were sent
between Brett and Charlie on June 18th,
right around the time that we were first
taking out their nuclear facilities,
in which Brett Weinstein shares Charlie Kirk's post
where Charlie had said the proponents for regime change
have pivoted the last 24 hours,
they know they are losing
and their position is indefensible and unpopular,
keep the pressure on.
Brett says, right there with you, Charlie,
we have to shut these maniacs down.
Not only is the Republic depending on it,
but the citizens of Israel are too.
Thank you, I totally agree, response Charlie.
Brett follows up.
And by the way,
I think the president needs us to keep the pressure on.
The neocons are very vocal and admittedly powerful,
but the public does not want war,
especially not to be dragged into one
by a belligerent Israeli regime.
Now, mind you, Brett Weinstein is Jewish
and Charlie Kirk is Christian.
But more importantly than those differences,
they have a tie that binds them
in that they fucking love America
and they don't want endless wars,
which was a big part of the galvanizing effect
that created the entire MAGA coalition
leading into the 24 election.
Now, lest you think that Charlie
was some war hawk in sheep's clothing,
he responds to Brett and he says, I know,
we need to be better.
I have a theory on this,
which is the power of dissident media
is very good retroactively at uncovering injustice
or scandal, COVID, Ukraine, border.
We are not good at driving real-time mass public opinion
yet.
The neocons are.
I'm doing all I can, truly.
I was in the White House all day fighting for America,
staying tomorrow.
So the reason I played that clip followed by reading off
the text messages between Brett and Charlie
is that I believe that timeline syncs up
and I believe that it confirms what Joe Kent had to say
that the last time he saw Charlie Kirk on this earth
was in the West Wing and Charlie looked him in the eyes
and he said, don't let them take us to war in Iran.
So let's hear how Dan Bongino,
friend of Joe Kent allegedly dealt with this information.
This, you know, I mean,
if an attempted murder of a presidential,
a presidential candidate,
and then there's another assassination attempt,
there's been multiple public breaches
of President Trump's security over the last year.
And then, you know, Charlie Kirk has killed publicly
in a very horrific way
and we're not really even allowed to look into that at all.
Okay.
Listen, folks,
this part I have to just leave here.
This is some of the most disgusting, unethical
and immoral stuff I have ever seen.
Leveraging the death of my good friend,
his brutal murder, his assassination,
that the whole world watched in all of its horrifying gore
for your podcast appearance, you're disgusting.
Thank you for your service to the country.
You're also disgusting.
This is filth.
So I'm gonna pause it there
because I want to make sure that we stick to the facts
as opposed to Dan Bongino's emotional outburst,
which by the way, it's absolutely hilarious
that he's saying it's disgusting
that Joe Kent would bring this up
given that, hey, Dan Bongino,
you were deputy director of the FBI
and you could have actually assisted
in clarifying the situation
and the conditions by which Charlie Kirk lost his life,
but you chose to do nothing about it.
So who's really disgusting when it comes to this topic?
But anyways, what I wanted to remind you guys
that was on October 29th, 2025,
so a little over a month after Charlie Kirk lost his life,
it was reported that Joe Kent was frozen out
of the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation
by the FBI, by Cache Patel, by Dan Bongino.
So now Bongino is going to piss and moan
and kick his feet and maybe shadowbox a little bit,
but the truth is that no one has actually refuted that claim
that yes, as director of counterterrorism,
Joe Kent was investigating or at least attempting
to investigate foreign ties, foreign connections
to the assassination of all of their friend in Charlie Kirk
and he was told to stop.
Worse than that, Joe Kent says
that he was frozen out of that information,
that he was placing requests for information
to run down those leads
and they were slow walked and then it just came to a stop.
They just stopped providing him information
by which he could do his job.
So they did not want Joe Kent,
the director of counterterrorism,
investigating what could be argued
was the highest profile terroristic attack
that we've seen in many years in this country
in terms of profile.
This is just filth.
I wasn't allowed to ask questions, Joe Kent.
I'm just gonna leave that there folks
and all you people defending him right now,
I'll accept your apology later.
You watch.
You weren't allowed to ask questions?
Sure about that.
Show you what that on the record, Joe.
You weren't allowed to ask questions?
Really.
Go ahead.
I'm not even allowed to look into that at all
and Charlie Kirk was one of President Trump's
closest advisors and he also advocated heavily
against a war with Iran.
Oh really?
He did?
That's fascinating.
Cause I've had conversations with Charlie too.
I don't talk about them because the man's dead
and I don't like to invoke his name for podcast clicks, okay?
Only to remember him.
And I'm not gonna do it now.
You sure that's how Charlie felt?
Yes, Mr. Boncino.
I am very sure that's how Charlie felt.
Now, was Charlie Kirk ultimately
a water carrier for the Trump administration?
Yes, 99% of the time that's what he was.
He was a coalition builder and a political creature
and he was going to privately voice his opposition
to decisions he disagreed with
and publicly support them.
That's how he went about things,
which is in large part why Charlie Kirk
and I didn't get along very well
because while I knew that he agreed with me
on a lot of these things,
publicly he wouldn't say so.
Privately he was much more in alignment
with America first and the non-interventionist
libertarian camp, but publicly he would give lip service to it
but when the rubber hit the road,
when the bomb started to drop,
Charlie Kirk would often give lip service
in defense of President Trump's decision-making,
which I found reprehensible.
That doesn't change the fact
that he was courageous enough
to privately go into the White House in June
and try and prevent a ground invasion at that time
and I genuinely deeply appreciate him for that.
But more than that,
Charlie Kirk did 20 plus segments on his show
talking about Iran over the preceding five years or a decade.
We've got confirmation from Candace Owens
and Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly and Dave Smith
and basically everybody else that knew Charlie Kirk
that yes, he opposed a war,
a particularly a regime change war,
particularly a ground invasion against Iran.
Absolutely, he opposed that.
So for Dan Bongino to pretend otherwise
to try and rewrite history, that is disgusting.
That is reprehensible and I'll leave that there.
So when one of President Trump's closest advisors
who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran
and for us to rethink at least our relationship
with the Israelis and then he's suddenly publicly
assassinated and we're not allowed to ask
any questions about that, it's a data point.
It's a data point that we need to look into.
As you guys know,
I've been doing the show for five years now
and the show has exploded in listenership
and popularity over the past year
and I couldn't be more appreciative.
It's touched the top 50 at one point,
it was in the top 25 I think on Spotify for podcasts.
So really appreciate that.
But anytime I get some level of achievement like that,
I like to reflect on what I've accomplished
and also what I need to protect.
And in my case as well as probably yours,
the first layer of protection aside from yourself
is gonna be your family
and a good tool to defend your family
would be financial planning.
That's why I have my partners over at Policy Genius.

That's policygenius.com slash lockdown.
Exactly right.
It's a data point.
It's a data point that we need to look into
which is all that myself and Ian Carroll and Candice
have been doing over the past six months
or Barron or Coach Collin, all these people
is that it's a significant data point
that Charlie Kirk, the guy who was
the highest level proponent of Donald Trump
who was also an opponent of a war with Iran,
got killed months after the bombing campaign
against Iran and months prior
to a major war against Iran
and you're supposed to pretend
that that can't be correlated.
You have to pretend that you cannot see
the obvious connection between those things.
What is the top motivation
to try and eliminate someone like Charlie Kirk?
Someone who has major influence in the White House
who opposes full Zionist control over our foreign policy
and you're supposed to not talk about it.
And if you do talk about it,
you're a hateful, bigoted conspiracy theorist, nutcase,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
but the truth is that that connection is real
and it is probably the most fruitful lead we have
for a motivation aside from the Tyler Robinson narrative.
What do you mean when you say
we're not allowed to ask any questions about that?
We've been told that this individual,
Robinson is a lone gunman and maybe he is,
but the investigation that I was a part of,
the National Counterterrorism Center was a part of,
we were stopped from continuing to investigate
and the FBI will say that they stopped that
because they wanted to have,
turn everything over to the Utah State authorities,
everything's going to trial, it's very, very sensitive,
but there was still a lot for us to look into
that I can't really get into,
but there was still linkage for us to investigate
that we needed to run down.
There's unanswered questions.
We know the pressure because of the text messages
that have been made public,
that Charlie was under a lot of pressure
from a lot of pro-Israel donors.
And again, we know Charlie was advocating
to President Trump against this war with Iran.
Now it's important that you understand
the mechanism for that stonewalling
and as I described it earlier,
Joe Kent goes on to explain
that he was placing requests for information
so that he could run down those foreign leads
to see if they had any merit to them at all.
And they were slow walked
and then ultimately cut off entirely.
So the FBI's defense is going to be that,
well, it's not as if we shut down the investigation,
we just didn't want them investigating,
we wanted to have the Utah Sheriff's Department investigate
and they could handle it on their own
because they got their guide, Tyler Robinson,
open and shut case, dust off your hands,
case closed, right?
But here's the interesting thing.
And this is the reason that the firewall
between the Director of Counterterrorism
and this investigation is really meaningful
and matters a lot is that if there are foreign connections,
particularly when it comes to governments
or terrorist organizations,
Utah Sheriff's Department is not gonna have access
to classified information, Joe Kent would.
So if there is classified leads
or classified contacts or CIA operators
or whoever else that you may be able to reach out to
and get clarification on these issues,
these alleged nodes of foreign influence
or involvement in the Charlie Kirk assassination,
Joe Kent would be able to get those answers.
The Utah Sheriff's Department will never get those answers.
And I believe that that's why Joe Kent
was cut out of this investigation
is because there were foreign actors involved
and they did not want that to come to light.
Now I can't prove that because obviously
he's been cut out of the investigation
and all of this stuff has been buried,
but you should be asking yourself,
why would you cut out the Director of Counterterrorism
when it came to, as I said, one of the most high profile,
if not the highest profile, terrorist attack
in our country in the past couple of years?
Charlie Kirk was a political figure
assassinated for his political beliefs,
even if you believe that it was Tyler Robinson
that did it.
That's still a terrorist attack
because it's attacking over,
it's political violence to get political change.
You're going after a top conservative commentator.
But the other angle that's really important
is to remember the chronology of this
is that they are now saying or alleging
that Joe Kent was basically frozen out,
not just of the Charlie Kirk investigation
but also of the deliberations when it came
to war planning for the Iran invasion or attack.
I'm curious for what you heard
about the way that that went down,
many of those critical meetings in the situation room.
You know, I think the imagery
that's been publicly released is very telling,
where you had one small group
that was down in Mar-a-Lago that night
and then you had the rest up at the situation room
at the time.
Look, in the lead-up to the 12-day war,
we were having very robust debates
that were part of the National Security Council process
and that played out over the course of about a month
in the lead-up to the 12-day war.
And to include that, I had a midnight hammer
where a lot of us said,
okay, fine, if you bomb these sites,
that's all well and good.
We take out Iran's ability to enrich.
That meets our strategic objective.
Problem is, the Israelis are gonna come right back to us
in a couple of months and demand more
because their goal is regime change.
Like, they're not beating around the bush about this.
And so that was known.
And so from my optic in the lead-up
to this last iteration, that process didn't play out.
And people can say, oh, Kent doesn't know
because just he wasn't invited.
But I can tell you the robust debate
with the deputies committees,
National Security Council,
that simply wasn't happening.
So in October, we have confirmed reports,
thanks to Joe Kent, that in fact, yes,
Joe Kent was trying to run down foreign lead involvements
when it came to the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And indeed he was frozen out.
But because he tried to run down the truth
behind all of that,
he was then additionally frozen out of deliberations
when it came to the Iran war planning
effective earlier this year, January, February.
And as I've already unpacked in my prior couple episodes,
it is crystal clear that the motivating factor
for our involvement in the attacks on Iran is Israel.
So if you're thinking to yourself, okay,
Joe Kent is trying to run down foreign involvement
potentials when it comes to the Charlie Kirk assassination
and simultaneously he's being frozen out
of what is a war on behalf of Israel.
It doesn't take a fucking rocket science
to connect those dots and go,
hey, maybe that's the reason
our director of counter-terrorism was frozen out
of both of these discussions, maybe.
That group chat that Charlie was in,
that 48 hours before he was killed,
in which he basically said he was done with the pressure
that the Jewish donors were putting on him.
He had lost another $2 million donation
from a Jewish donor.
He might have to invite Candice Owens,
just as sort of a middle finger
to these people to let them know
that they couldn't pressure him
and that he wasn't gonna cancel Tucker Carlson.
So this is 48 hours before he was killed.
This group chat, which was in, I think, a WhatsApp group,
involved Charlie and Josh Hammer and some others.
And that was provided by Andrew Colvette
to someone in government and some online are speculating
that, well, we know it was leaked to Candice Owens
and she reported on it.
And some are speculating that you were the leaker.
So did you leak that document to Candice?
No.
Did you leak it all to the media?
No.
So Joe Kent has gone on to deny any leaks,
which is now the accusation
which they're using to try and smear his name
and basically make you ignore the claims
that he's making that Israel dictated this war.
But we have Donald Trump, who the same night
that Joe Kent resigned, Donald Trump comes out
with a true social post saying,
you fucking Israelis just keep blowing shit up
against our will.
Like we didn't agree to this.
They're blowing up oil fields.
They're doing X, Y and Z.
This is not what we wanted.
It's like, oh, so I guess they are kind of dictating
how this thing plays out.
Now aren't they?
Thank you, Mr. President.
We talked to Prime Minister Menendez about attacking
the oil and gas fields.
Yeah, I did.
I told him don't do that, and he won't do that.
We didn't discuss, you know, we do,
we're independent, we get along great.
It's coordinated, but on occasion he'll do something
and if I don't like it,
and so we're not doing that anymore.
So we've had over the past month,
Rubio Hegseth, Trump, Mike Johnson,
now the Director of Counterterrorism,
a bunch of other people too,
but I can't remember all their names.
I've all came out and said, yeah,
this was a preemptive strike because of a counter strike
that was gonna come from the Iranians
because of Israel's decision to strike.
Therefore, the only conclusion you can come to
is that Israel was the ultimate provocateur in this
and that we were just along for the ride,
which is ultimately the entirety of Joe Kent's claim
that I don't wanna be in this position
if we are not pursuing single-mindedly
America first priorities, American goals
when it comes to our empire.
And really all you need to see
to understand who you ought to believe in this
is who are the detractors of Joe Kent?
You've got your Ben Shapiro and your Dave Rubin
and your Dan Bongino's and also Jonathan Greenblatt,
head of the ADL.
Take Joe Kent.
I'm resigning because Israel pulled us into the war.
Iran didn't pose a threat.
And so my question to you is,
if you look at that incident, that is an answer.
This is the question.
Is his decision and his letter in your mind
a protest of the war and what Israel
as a country politically is doing?
Or do you look at that and say, he's an anti-Semite
and he doesn't like Jews?
This is what I think is the fundamental question.
Right, well, look, let's talk about it.
So you can say, I oppose this war on some grounds,
but to blame Jews or the Jewish state for the war?
But Joe Kent didn't do that.
He didn't blame Jews.
He didn't say that.
Not even close, a million miles away from it.
He said that Israel was the one dictating it
and he didn't like it.
He said that Israel was the one who was catalyzing it
and he didn't want to go along with that.
So according to Greenblatt, you can oppose this war,
but you just can't oppose the nation that started it.
Please explain to me how I'm supposed to do that.
Like if I oppose the war in Gaza,
how am I supposed to say that
without saying I oppose the participant in it?
And once you connect that thought,
you kind of have the skeleton key
to unlock the entire propagandistic paradigm
that in fact, you are not permitted to oppose wars
that are to the benefit of or participated in by Israel.
You cannot oppose them
because obviously that makes you oppositional
to the Jewish state.
But fortunately, that trick has basically stopped working
in large part thanks to Tucker Carlson,
another guy who they have tried to cancel
and smear and obliterate over the past couple of years.
You're sick of Gaza.
What do I think of Gaza?
Yeah.
I think the war in Gaza to start with
was a perfectly reasonable response
in response to the horrors of October 7th.
I think now the places, I mean, I've been there.
Have you been to Gaza?
You go and you see a flattened place.
I think it is a disaster,
a disaster for the future of Israel,
a disaster for the Palestinian people,
a horror of 70,000 people dead.
Why would you describe it first as a disaster
for the future of Israel?
You've got tens of thousands of civilians murdered,
but it's foremost a disaster for the future of Israel.
No, it's more a disaster for the families of the dead kids.
Absolutely, I made three points.
Because everybody sucks up to Israel
in this way that suggests they're afraid,
and everyone is afraid and you know that.
Everyone's like, the real problem is calling people
anti-Semites allows real anti-Semites to flourish.
It's like, no, actually the real problem
with calling people anti-Semites who aren't
is accusing the innocent of a crime they didn't commit.
And the real crime in Gaza
is killing people who did nothing wrong.
So those are the real problems.
But no one can say it, because you have to be like,
oh, no, but really October 7th was that.
I don't know what you're talking about, Kazza.
We're having everyone watching this,
doesn't know what I'm talking about.
That's absolutely right.
Everybody watching that knows exactly
what he's talking about.
And everybody knows that he's right,
that you cannot oppose any of these wars
without being accused of things that you aren't.
You cannot oppose the war without first saying how
it's the reason I oppose it is because I think
it's ultimately to the detriment of Israelis.
Not to the 70,000 people that have been blown up.
You have to oppose it on the grounds
that this ultimately jeopardizes the people
who are blowing up the kids.
And this more than anything is why they hate Tucker Carlson
and Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes
and all of these figures is that it's not even so much
that they oppose the war in Gaza
or they oppose the war against Iran.
It's that they show you what the game is.
They have broken down the propagandistic paradigm
by which you are manipulated, by which you are controlled.
And if you can see through that,
you have now deciphered the matrix.
You're now a free man again, or woman.
You're now able to actually proceed and analyze things
in an honest fashion as opposed to a fearful one,
as opposed to a controlled one.
And this is why Jonathan Greenblatt and others
will constantly attack all of those figures
that I just named off is that that's what they're doing.
They are breaking down the paradigm.
They are showing you the matrix code for what it is.
They are freeing your mind,
not so that you can go out and hate
and abuse random Jewish people, not at all,
but rather you can analyze all of these things
in an objective fashion that you can recognize
that death and destruction against innocents is wrong
no matter their religion or skin tone.
You can actually participate in analyzing these things
from a Christian worldview, one of actual individualism,
one of actual humanitarianism,
one of actual love and concern for the innocence
as opposed to fearful, groveling, sniveling opposition
while still walking on eggshells
that you might be called a name
that isn't applicable to you.
They are infusing courage back in opposition to this issue.
That is the thing that they hate the most,
that it's no longer just like,
well, I just want to focus on America.
I mean, this is, I've already said this a thousand times.
Tim pulls my buddy,
but this is the type of opposition that you'll get from Tim.
I don't care about Israel at all.
I want to focus on America.
It's like, you cannot focus on America
as long as the American government
is almost universally focused first and foremost
on a foreign country.
And that foreign country, if you didn't notice, is Israel.
So you can't say, I'm America first.
I don't want to talk about Israel.
You have no choice.
And that is why Tucker Carlson is a top five podcast
in America.
And that is why Dan Bongino is now number 98,
even though he used to be in the top five,
is that people see the game for what it is.
And Charlie Kirk was starting to see the game
for what it was.
And just as he became vocal about his opposition
and just as he privately became adamant
about his opposition, as soon as he said,
I have no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause,
as soon as he said, shove it,
I'm going to invite Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens.
I don't give a fuck what the donors do.
Pull your millions of dollars.
I'm proceeding with principle for once.
48 hours later, his life was taken
in front of our fucking eyes.
And you're not supposed to ask any connections
connecting the dots between his opposition
to the Iran war, his willingness to platform people
who are oppositional or at least critical
of a relationship to Israel.
He said, I'm going to do that.
I don't care what you think about it.
And he was murdered.
Not years later, not months later, days later,
double digit hours later.
That's how quickly after him putting his fucking feet
in the ground and reinforcing his spine
to actually take that stand
that he was laid out in front of our eyes.
And now Joe Kent resigns
and he reiterates some of the opposition
that Charlie Kirk was starting to espouse.
And he is smeared just the same as Tucker Carlson
or Candice Owens or Dave Smith or Fuentes
or anybody else that opposes this madness.
And who do they send out to attack and smear him?
Joe Kent is a friend of mine
and has been a friend for a long time.
But my job here is not to have friends.
I mean, on the outside I can have friends.
My job here is to tell you the truth.
This history of service and sacrifice again
is beyond question.
I don't blame the guy for resigning
if you can't and don't want to enact a presidential policy
then resign.
That had nothing to do with me, folks.
You can listen to all the bullshit all you want.
These black pillars,
doomers and liberal media folks,
they are desperate to cleave the movement in half.
It's gonna be over this Israel issue,
but it's based on,
here's the takeaway here, here's the point number one.
It's based on the foundational theory
that Donald Trump is a weak president
who's being dragged around by the Israelis and Netanyahu.
If you believe that, listen to me.
I can't help you.
It's just not the show for you.
Yeah, you're right, Dan.
That isn't the show for me.
It's not the show for the rest of America
based off your ratings either.
Now, keep in mind,
the guy that they sent out
to try and smear all of these people,
Dan Bongino was responsible for,
in my opinion,
covering up the Butler attack on Donald Trump.
He was also obviously responsible
for covering up the Epstein operation.
He was also obviously responsible
for misleading us about other potential motives
when it came to the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And he is now responsible for smearing his friend,
Joe Kent, when he came out and told us the truth
about the catalyst for this latest war with Iran.
And if you've followed Liberty Lockdown
for the past couple of years,
you already have reason to suspect
that all of those items that he was responsible
for covering up or misleading us on
have potential Israeli ties.
And his job now after resigning
and accomplishing nothing as deputy director of the FBI
is to again get back in the public conversation
and smear all of the people
who are telling you the truth about these issues
and mislead you once again.
So as far as I'm concerned,
Dan Bongino wasn't,
he didn't resign from the FBI.
He was reassigned.
Now, was he reassigned to like CIA propaganda department?
Or was he reassigned to a foreign Intel agency's propaganda arm?
Cause that's kind of how it feels to me, Dan.
Unless you think I'm grasping at straws,
assuming that sure,
perhaps a foreign Intel operative could be involved
in the taking out of Charlie Kirk.
I want you to look at this video
that came out yesterday.
This is Steve Sweeney, a British journalist
who works for RT in Lebanon,
just yesterday, or maybe 48 hours ago,
nearly getting double tapped by the IDF.
Further rocket attacks were reported against Naharia
in a minute.
Well, you've probably all seen the footage
of the airstrike that took place in Seoul District
as we were reporting on the destruction of a bridge.
We've been treated in hospital for our injuries.
I had a shrapnel wound in my arm,
deeply embedded in the muscle here.
That's been taken out and here it is in this pot here.
But what I do want to say is that this was
a deliberate targeted attack on journalists.
There's no mistake about it.
This was an Israeli precision strike from a fighter jet.
What we were doing was we were reporting on the attacks
on bridges which is effectively severing South Lebanon
from the rest of the country.
One million people now internally displaced.
This is the real story.
So that's probably something that you didn't hear about.
Additionally, you probably haven't heard about the fact
that the reason that we are the tip of the spear
when it comes to the attacks against Iran right now
is because Israel, the IDF, is involved in invading
and displacing a million plus Lebanese right now.
So obviously they can't be bothered
to take on their war in Iran.
We're gonna have to fight that for them
so that they can ethnically cleanse
the eastern portion of Lebanon.
So I'll end with this.
You can either take your advice or your investigations
from people like Joe Kent or Steve Sweeney
who's an absolute savage.
I can't even imagine.
I don't have the nerve to go out there,
especially after you almost got taken out by a bomb
and then be reporting the very next day in the open
where they could hit you again.
I mean, that dude's an animal or Tucker Carlson
or Candace Owens or any of the people
that we've come to respect over the past couple of years
or you can listen to people like Dan Bongino
or Dave Rubin with prognostications that age
about as well as dog shit.
Allow me to make a prediction here
and my prediction stuff.
I'm not Polly Market.
I'm not Kalshi, but I'm pretty good at predictions.
And my prediction here is that everything
that the media is now gonna say
about Iran's gonna close this trade of Hormuz
and energy prices are gonna go crazy
and all these, none of this is going to come to pass.
That isn't to say there won't be a little bumps
here and there in the market
and it's not to say one random thing,
bad thing might happen to a ship or something like that.
But Iran has basically,
their military has basically been decimated.
That was two weeks ago.
So yeah, I would recommend, I would advise,
if anyone is still listening to Rubin or Shapiro
or Bungino or any of these fucking hack propagandists,
I don't know why for the life of me.
I mean, it's like listening to Kramer
on stock predictions.
It's like you just haven't learned anything
over the past decade, seriously?
Not only did he get the oil and gas prediction wrong
in record time, oil per barrel is like 120 plus already,
but also he says that Iran's been totally
militarily degraded.
They shot a missile that went way further
than we thought possible just yesterday
at one of our secret bases.
They also took out an F-35,
a fifth generation fighter jet that allegedly
they shouldn't have any capacity to take out,
but they did.
And here's the really scary reality is that
when it comes to these types of wars
and all of the war gaming that went into
the lead up to the war against Iran,
it was very consistently reported by our top advisors
across all of the administrations
that ultimately Iran had escalation dominance,
that if we continued to tit for tat
to the top of the escalation ladder,
ultimately we could not prevail without dropping nukes,
which for any sane country is an option off the table,
particularly when you're dealing with a country
that doesn't have nukes.
So are you going to nuke a nucleus country?
Really? Is that where we're headed?
And I'll be straight with you.
I don't know.
I don't know where we're headed with this war.
There is reports, major reports coming out yesterday
that there are another 5,000 Marines
that are being deployed to the arena,
that there are major reports
that they are in fact preparing
for a small ground incursion,
probably to either clear the straight
or get a foothold by which we can then bring in
major troop totals to actually participate
in a full on ground invasion and regime change war
on the ground, which would be catastrophic.
So I'm not sure where this is headed,
but I just wanted to break down this Charlie Kirk angle
because as is so often the case,
it goes under the radar
because it's put into the woo woo tinfoil category.
I just want to encourage you not to feel that way.
It's okay for you to see these connections
and say, hey, there was foreign intel connections
per Joe Kent, the director of counterterrorism,
and he was firewalled from that information
so that he couldn't run down those leads.
And until we have answers to those leads,
you have every right as an American,
if not an obligation as an American,
to demand answers to those questions.
This is your countrymen,
whether you loved or hated Charlie Kirk
is completely fucking irrelevant.
This is an American political commentator
taken out by somebody or someone or some entity.
And until we have an ironclad answer as to who and why
and how he was taken out,
don't let any motherfucker tell you to stop looking ever.
