=== Truth as Liberation (06:29) ===

[00:00:00]  So a country based on lies, like a family based on lies, like an individual life based on lies, cannot succeed.
[00:00:10]  In fact, it's hellish, as all of us have experienced in our lying.
[00:00:16]  And so the only way out of this is to stop lying, is to tell the truth now, probably 63 years after we should have started telling the truth, but it's never too late, to tell the truth now about everything.
[00:00:34]  Because it's never as painful as you think it will be.
[00:00:38]  It's actually an act of liberation.
[00:00:41]  In fact, it's the only real act of liberation.
[00:00:45]  Telling the truth sets you free because the truth itself.
[00:00:49]  We're back up on JTUB for a little bit, okay?
[00:00:51]  Guys, I'm not going to be on here much.
[00:00:53]  We'll be spending a little bit of time on JTUB, just to let you guys know that I'm live.
[00:00:57]  And we are going to go back to Kick Only very soon.
[00:00:59]  So enjoy while you can, Ninjas.
[00:01:02]  Sets you free.
[00:01:03]  That is always.
[00:01:04]  Because it's 6 o'clock and this is around the time I'm normally live at nighttime.
[00:01:08]  And everywhere a fact.
[00:01:11]  And the longer you delay doing that, the more horrible the consequences of your lies.
[00:01:18]  So let's hope that tonight with this conversation with Joe Ken is the beginning of the long overdue truth telling, which is the only thing that will save this country.
[00:01:29]  And one final note about Joe Kent.
[00:01:31]  W. Tucker, for doing this interview.
[00:01:33]  Who I spent the last 24 hours with.
[00:01:37]  Joe Kent's resume hardly needs explanation because every facts, bro, is a patriot.
[00:01:42]  Everyone is aware.
[00:01:43]  This is a man who deployed on 11 combat missions.
[00:01:48]  Stupid, stupid motherfuckers like Mark Levin try to undermine this guy's service to the country.
[00:01:53]  To the global war on terror.
[00:01:56]  This is sort of the perfect representation of the GWAT generation.
[00:02:01]  This is one of those guys we often celebrate, but too rarely hear from who we sent out to fight the so-called war on terror that began on 9-11.
[00:02:12]  And it's an entire generation of men, men who look and sound, for the most part, very much like Joe Kent.
[00:02:20]  So the implication, of course, he doesn't care about security or he's soft on Iran.
[00:02:24]  Joe Kent spent, well, the majority of his 20s and 30s fighting Iranian proxies and watching his friends get killed by them.
[00:02:32]  So this is someone who's actually earned the right to speak about Iran and the world.
[00:02:37]  Agreed.
[00:02:37]  And of course he was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
[00:02:41]  So he's thought a lot about terrorism in this country and the blowback from events like this.
[00:02:45]  And we're going to ask him about that as well.
[00:02:47]  But the other thing to notice about Joe Kent, and it may be his defining factor, is that he doesn't slander anyone.
[00:02:53]  His resignation letter was not an attack on Donald Trump.
[00:02:56]  It wasn't a promise to write a tell-all memoir about what he saw on the inside or to aggrandize himself or to get a job on a TV show or sell something.
[00:03:06]  I asked him at dinner last night, what are your plans?
[00:03:08]  None.
[00:03:10]  He did this purely because he believes, as he'll explain in a second, this is the only way to save the United States from certain disaster.
[00:03:18]  Tell the truth.
[00:03:20]  Air the secrets.
[00:03:21]  Be honest for once in decades about what is actually happening, things that everybody who lives here suspects are happening.
[00:03:28]  In some cases, we're probably wrong.
[00:03:29]  We've come to the wrong conclusions.
[00:03:31]  That's okay.
[00:03:33]  Tell us what actually happened.
[00:03:34]  Tell us why you did this.
[00:03:36]  And let's reorient this country where it should be, which is around its own citizens.
[00:03:44]  Make the decisions that you make based on one criterion.
[00:03:47]  Is this good for my people or not?
[00:03:49]  In the way that a father would lead his family or an officer would lead his troops.
[00:03:54]  Smash that like button for me, guys.
[00:03:55]  We're on YouTube.
[00:03:56]  You guys are getting an exclusive here.
[00:03:57]  Gonna watch the Tucker and Joe Kent's interview, which honestly, you guys should join the Tucker Carlson Network.
[00:04:04]  I support Tucker.
[00:04:05]  I just bought a year of membership for his program, which is what this is on.
[00:04:09]  It's paywalled, but that's fine.
[00:04:10]  He's probably gonna drop it tomorrow or so.
[00:04:12]  So, shout out to Tucker.
[00:04:14]  You guys are watching it here.
[00:04:16]  So, like the goddamn video, especially on JTube.
[00:04:20]  And as you listen to him speak, ask yourself: is this a man who's working for Hezbollah or is an egomaniac or a leaker?
[00:04:28]  Or is this a man who says very little when he has nothing to say, who speaks straightforwardly and with honesty, self-evident honesty?
[00:04:37]  Is this a man of dignity and decency?
[00:04:40]  Bro, his name is Abba the Milk Cow.
[00:04:42]  That's funny.
[00:04:42]  Decency is this a man that America once had a lot of?
[00:04:49]  Is this a man who was once, in effect, the American archetype, the guy you looked up to, the guy you wanted your son to be?
[00:04:55]  Whether you agree with him or not, maybe you're reaching completely different conclusions.
[00:04:59]  But as you listen to him speak, ask yourself: is this the kind of person who makes me proud to be a fellow American?
[00:05:06]  Because it's really a referendum on us.
[00:05:09]  If we can't see that Joe Kent, whatever you think of his opinions, is the kind of man this country should be producing and should be elevating and should be proud of.
[00:05:20]  If we can't see that, then we've failed the test and we've lost.
[00:05:27]  But judge of yourself.
[00:05:28]  Here's Joe Kent.
[00:05:31]  Joe, thanks a lot for joining us.
[00:05:34]  So I appreciate this.
[00:05:37]  So I want to go through the letter that you sent yesterday as you resigned as director of the National Counterterrorism Center and basically through the big points and give you a chance to explain them.
[00:05:48]  You've been spoken for quite a bit over the last 24 hours, so I think it'd be really helpful to all of us if you would speak for yourself and flesh out some of these points.
[00:05:58]  I'm just going to read the first one.
[00:06:00]  I cannot, in good conscience, support the ongoing war in Iran.
[00:06:04]  This would be more challenging to explain had the Secretary of State, the President, and the Speaker of the House not come out and said that we conducted this attack at this time because the Israelis were about to do so.
[00:06:17]  So that takes away the argument that there was an imminent threat, as in Iran was planning to attack us immediately.
[00:06:25]  That just simply did not exist.
[00:06:27]  May I ask?

=== The Iran War Lie (03:27) ===

[00:06:29]  What happened?
[00:06:32]  Are you guys shut down?
[00:06:35]  No, am I still live on YouTube?
[00:06:42]  I still am.
[00:06:44]  All right, let me end this shit.
[00:06:49]  Are we back?
[00:06:53]  Did my kickstream go down?
[00:06:55]  Hold on, chat.
[00:07:01]  Are we back?
[00:07:03]  What the fuck happened, chat?
[00:07:06]  The Mossad took me down.
[00:07:09]  The Mossad took me down.
[00:07:11]  All right, we're back.
[00:07:12]  All right, I don't know what the fuck happened there.
[00:07:18]  Like, what happened, chat?
[00:07:20]  What the fuck happened?
[00:07:22]  Did I get a...
[00:07:23]  Did you guys hit...
[00:07:24]  Like, Masad hit me?
[00:07:26]  Ike Burns, 1220.
[00:07:30]  Shout out to you.
[00:07:33]  Yo, every single time, bro, that niggas hit me with the I don't know what the fuck happened there.
[00:08:07]  All right.
[00:08:08]  Well, where were we?
[00:08:11]  So what you guys missed?
[00:08:14]  the local stream is down hold on You know what it is?
[00:08:24]  Leave it turned.
[00:08:26]  I'm going to turn AC up.
[00:08:27]  Give me one sec, Chad.
[00:08:28]  I know what it is.
[00:09:11]  All right, niggas.
[00:09:14]  No, no, no.
[00:09:15]  The cameras are fine.
[00:09:16]  It's not the cameras, chat.
[00:09:17]  It was just in general, like, it's just that I keep the place pretty warm, and sometimes shit gets hot.
[00:09:33]  So, all right, let's get back to it, though.
[00:09:37]  So basically, he asked him, what do you mean by what do you mean exactly by Iran being a not being a threat?

=== Escalation and Chaos (14:26) ===

[00:09:57]  This dude, SM Gaines, is lying in a chest.
[00:09:59]  Says Myron's uncle has connections to the RSF, and he always backs Terran general.
[00:10:02]  No, you retard.
[00:10:03]  The RSF tried to kill my uncle, you stupid fuck.
[00:10:06]  Now enjoy the shadow room, you fucking retard.
[00:10:11]  The fuck out of my chat, dumbass.
[00:10:13]  The RSF tried to kill my uncle, you stupid motherfucker.
[00:10:19]  Ask you to pause.
[00:10:21]  Guys, for those of you that are saying OSS is down, just come on over on kick.
[00:10:27]  Come on over on kick.
[00:10:28]  I'm going to do something special for you guys tonight.
[00:10:30]  I'm going to go back.
[00:10:30]  I'll come back online for you guys on OSS and we'll do something tonight.
[00:10:36]  I've heard people say that, and this just happened, but history has a way of getting rewritten in real time.
[00:10:41]  And then you look back 10 or 15, 20, 25 years later, and no one seems to understand.
[00:10:46]  Just refresh your page and you'll probably be fine, Chad.
[00:10:48]  Understand the things that you saw because they've been eliminated.
[00:10:50]  So I think it's important to just refresh.
[00:10:52]  Stop and say, here's what we actually know.
[00:10:54]  So I'd like now, if we could, just to play one of the statements that you alluded to, and that's from Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.
[00:11:00]  And this was shortly after this war commenced.
[00:11:02]  And he was explaining, as is his habit, in a thoughtful, precise way, why.
[00:11:08]  Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
[00:11:10]  And so the president made the very wise decision.
[00:11:13]  We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action.
[00:11:16]  We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces.
[00:11:19]  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 those killed.
[00:11:27]  And then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't.
[00:11:32]  Okay, so that is his almost contemporaneous explanation.
[00:11:36]  And it's not offhand.
[00:11:37]  He reasons it out.
[00:11:38]  He explains there's a logic chain there.
[00:11:40]  And he says, we knew not that Iran was going to attack.
[00:11:44]  He did not say that.
[00:11:45]  He said we knew that Israel was going to attack Iran.
[00:11:48]  And in retaliation for those attacks by Israel against Iran, Iran might attack American forces.
[00:11:55]  So the imminent threat that the Secretary of State is describing is not from Iran, it's from Israel.
[00:12:01]  Exactly.
[00:12:01]  And I think this speaks to the broader issue: who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East?
[00:12:06]  Who's in charge of when we decide to go to war or not?
[00:12:09]  In this case, with what the Secretary described and later on, the President, later on, the Speaker of the House, and the way the events played out, the Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
[00:12:26]  Now, I think there's a potential there where we could have done several different things.
[00:12:29]  We could have simply said to the Israelis, no, you will not.
[00:12:32]  And if you do, then we will take something away from you.
[00:12:36]  I think that it's fine that we offer defense to Israel.
[00:12:40]  But when we're providing the means for their defense, we get to dictate the terms of when they go on the offensive.
[00:12:46]  Otherwise, they stand to lose that relationship.
[00:12:49]  And the Israelis felt and told them that no matter what they did, no matter what situation they put us in, that they could go ahead and take this action, and we would just have to react.
[00:13:03]  And so that speaks to that relationship.
[00:13:05]  But also, it just shows that there was a lobby pushing for us to go to war.
[00:13:08]  I know we'll get into that later on in the statement.
[00:13:11]  But we had a real potential, I think, knowing what we know of the Iranians and how they react, and in particular, how they react to President Trump's leadership.
[00:13:19]  The Iranians, under President Trump's leadership, especially in his second term, they have shown that they take a very calculated approach to the escalation ladder.
[00:13:29]  For instance, in the lead up to the 12-day war before Midnight Hammer, the Iranians didn't attack us.
[00:13:35]  They were engaged in negotiations with us.
[00:13:37]  When President Trump came back into office, they stopped their proxies who were attacking us under the Biden administration because they knew Biden was weak.
[00:13:45]  They stopped their proxies from attacking us as well.
[00:13:48]  So they knew President Trump was someone who wanted to negotiate, but more importantly, they knew that President Trump was not someone to mess with because he killed Qasim Solmati.
[00:13:57]  He killed Abu Mahdi Mohandas.
[00:13:59]  He had defeated ISIS.
[00:14:00]  They knew that President Trump was a man of action.
[00:14:02]  He is militarily strong.
[00:14:04]  And so they said, before we take an action, we need to make sure that it's calculated.
[00:14:08]  So I think in this scenario, even if the Israelis told us we're going to strike on this date at this time, and we didn't try to negotiate with the Israelis and say, hey, we'll take something away from them.
[00:14:19]  I think we still could have backchanned to the Iranians and said, hey, if something happens here in the next couple of days, it's not us.
[00:14:24]  We're still serious about negotiations, and we don't want to escalate this because it's well known what the Iranians' plans were.
[00:14:32]  We knew that they were going to hit our, potentially our bases in the region and potentially our allies.
[00:14:36]  We knew about the Straits of Hormuz.
[00:14:37]  They said they were going to hold these things, I think, were fairly well known.
[00:14:40]  And the Houthis' ability to close the Red Sea, which is not yet done, but which would be catastrophic to the world.
[00:14:46]  And that's going to be the next step, by the way, is closing the Red Sea.
[00:14:48]  That's coming next.
[00:14:50]  But for the purpose of explaining your position or fleshing it out more so people can understand it, because Kekin locals are now down, retards.
[00:14:57]  Refresh the page.
[00:14:58]  This is your most high-profile resignation by far in a long time.
[00:15:05]  And there's a lot of commentary on this, and I kind of took a quick trip through it this afternoon.
[00:15:10]  And one of the consistent themes is, well, I mean, of course, there's a lot of slander, which we can talk about.
[00:15:15]  But the substantive attack on you, and it is an attack or refutation of your letter, is that, well, actually, Joe Kent was totally for using military action.
[00:15:25]  He supported the Soleimani killing, for example.
[00:15:28]  He seemed fine with the 12-day war, for example.
[00:15:32]  So he doesn't have a problem on principle with an engagement with Iran.
[00:15:40]  You're saying what to that?
[00:15:41]  What's your response?
[00:15:43]  Well, I have no compunction about really fighting anybody who threatens our country.
[00:15:47]  And the Iranians have posed a threat in the past.
[00:15:49]  And the Iranians have a way of threatening America.
[00:15:53]  They have the capability.
[00:15:54]  And we always talk in the intelligence circles about capability and intent, what your enemy is capable of doing and what they actually want to do.
[00:16:02]  And again, back to the data that we have on the Iranians, they used the escalation ladder.
[00:16:06]  We saw that deliberately during the 12-day war.
[00:16:08]  When they struck back after Midnight Hammer, it was very deliberate.
[00:16:12]  They fired an equal and they notified exactly what time, how many rockets, everything.
[00:16:18]  Amount of missiles as we dropped bombs on the nuclear facilities.
[00:16:22]  And they basically hit a part of a base in Qatar that they knew we didn't have any troops on.
[00:16:27]  They didn't want to escalate any further than we were willing to go.
[00:16:31]  Here's something that no one wants to ever admit about the Iranians.
[00:16:33]  The Iranians are extremely, extremely measured and calculated in their responses.
[00:16:43]  Okay?
[00:16:46]  No one likes to admit this, but that's the truth.
[00:16:50]  Yes, I know locals doesn't have audio, bro.
[00:16:53]  Watch on kick, okay?
[00:16:55]  Or refresh the page on locals and it'll be fine.
[00:16:59]  Okay?
[00:17:00]  You're being annoying now.
[00:17:02]  But also, the Iranians, when they pose a threat to us, they usually do it with their proxies.
[00:17:08]  And if their proxies stick their heads up and their proxies come after us, this is basically the Trump doctrine.
[00:17:12]  We hammer them and we hammer their high-profile leaders.
[00:17:15]  Qasim Solmani was highly effective and highly revered in Iran because the previous presidents, prior to President Trump, Obama and Bush, let Qasim Solmani run around, raise proxy armies, kill Americans, and no one ever did anything to him.
[00:17:29]  President Trump rightfully killed Qasim Solmani.
[00:17:31]  We got his deputy, Abu Abu.
[00:17:33]  I don't know about that.
[00:17:34]  That was a major escalation.
[00:17:37]  That was a major escalation.
[00:17:40]  And quite frankly, the proxies that they talk about, the Iranians were not the ones that built up the IEDs that blew up soldiers in Iraq.
[00:17:49]  That was Al-Qaeda.
[00:17:50]  That's a common lie that's been debunked a million times.
[00:17:52]  Mani Mohandis, who had American blood on his hands, took them off the battlefield.
[00:17:56]  But then President Trump stopped.
[00:17:58]  He took those two key players off the battlefield and he said, I'm not going to further escalate with Iran unless you escalate with us.
[00:18:07]  Well, he also took them off the he also put them on the foreign terrorist organization list, FTO list.
[00:18:13]  He, you know, re-imposed higher sanctions, killed Soleimani, you know, pulled out of the JCPOA.
[00:18:21]  These were all very significant escalations.
[00:18:24]  Maybe not militarily, but economically, these were huge.
[00:18:27]  Knowing that if we struck Iran and we truly struck the regime, that would only strengthen the regime.
[00:18:33]  So then President Trump did something that's incredibly smart.
[00:18:36]  He used that decisive military action, but then he coupled it with an economic package of sanctions, maximum pressure.
[00:18:42]  Yeah, that wasn't good.
[00:18:43]  That was escalation.
[00:18:45]  That's the problem.
[00:18:47]  Sanctions.
[00:18:47]  We can debate whether or not we should be using sanctions as the prime reserve currency holder or whatever.
[00:18:51]  But he pressured the Iranians economically after punching them in the mouth and showing that, hey, I won't take this.
[00:18:56]  I'm not Obama.
[00:18:57]  I'm not Bush.
[00:18:58]  If you cross a line, I will come after you.
[00:19:01]  But then he really put the pressure on them economically.
[00:19:04]  And if you look at the effect of the economic sanctions, that's what got the Iranian people on the streets actually protesting against the Ayatollah's government, which is obstensively what we would like.
[00:19:15]  We would like to see a bottom-up regime change where we get rid of the Ayatollah, but it's the will of the people and they have a new successful government that's stable that we can deal with.
[00:19:25]  The one way to throw that all out the window, and this isn't just Joken's opinion.
[00:19:29]  Many, many scholars, and I think a lot of intelligence assessments have been written about this too.
[00:19:33]  I know for a fact they have, is that if we struck the regime, it would only strengthen it.
[00:19:39]  And that's not.
[00:19:40]  Boom.
[00:19:40]  I told y'all.
[00:19:42]  And everyone's over here, Myron, you like Iran.
[00:19:47]  No, I told you guys striking Dayatolla would be fucking retarded.
[00:19:50]  I told y'all.
[00:19:52]  And here's the number two guy in the intelligence community telling you exactly what I fucking told you, niggas.
[00:20:00]  Like, bro, I told you guys it was going to be an L killing Dayatolla.
[00:20:08]  I told y'all, and not only did I tell you guys it was going to be an L, I told you guys also, okay, that it would only strengthen the government.
[00:20:19]  Okay?
[00:20:19]  It would only strengthen and make it harder to overthrow the government because he is a religious figure.
[00:20:28]  Also, it's important that you guys understand this because I mentioned this yesterday.
[00:20:31]  I think I only mentioned this for my OSS guys.
[00:20:33]  In Iran, guys, D'Ayatollah, okay?
[00:20:39]  Think of him as his own government figure, and then you have the regular government.
[00:20:43]  Khameni, right?
[00:20:44]  The Supreme Leader, he runs the military and like the intelligence services, basically.
[00:20:50]  Defense.
[00:20:50]  Only basically, that's his job is defense when it comes to like the military, et cetera.
[00:20:57]  The president, Pazeskian, et cetera, they do the day-to-day economic stuff with the government.
[00:21:04]  Interestingly enough, did you guys know that the Supreme Leader votes for the president?
[00:21:09]  I didn't know any of this shit.
[00:21:10]  I figured this out by talking to an Iranian, a local from Tehran a couple of days ago on X. Just a regular dude that lives about 30, 40 minutes outside Tehran.
[00:21:21]  He explained this, how Iranian politics are.
[00:21:24]  So Dyatolla, guys, though he is the head of state, he does not deal with day-to-day government functions.
[00:21:30]  That is on the president.
[00:21:32]  Someone said low audio.
[00:21:33]  Yeah, you're getting kicked out.
[00:21:35]  You're getting out of here, bro.
[00:21:37]  Rock Lee, get the fuck out of here, bro.
[00:21:38]  I know the audio is not low.
[00:21:39]  Get the fuck out of my chat.
[00:21:41]  Fucking loser.
[00:21:42]  Get the fuck out of my shit, man.
[00:21:44]  I hate fucking trolls.
[00:21:47]  Thank you, Rolando, for the 100 kicks.
[00:21:49]  Anyway, so that is how that is how the Iranian government is structured.
[00:21:57]  So the Supreme Leader actually votes in elections, which is crazy, but that is what it is.
[00:22:02]  And a lot of Americans don't know this.
[00:22:04]  Hell, I didn't know either.
[00:22:06]  Right?
[00:22:07]  So very important for people to understand that killing Ayatollah would backfire because he is more of a religious figure and he's actually very widely liked by the people.
[00:22:19]  Something else that no one talks about.
[00:22:20]  The people like Dyatolla.
[00:22:22]  They don't like the government.
[00:22:25]  Now, some of you guys might say, well, hold on.
[00:22:26]  Isn't Ayatollah the government?
[00:22:28]  Not really.
[00:22:30]  Not really.
[00:22:34]  He controls a component of government, the military, IRGC, et cetera.
[00:22:42]  But he is not representative of the entire government.
[00:22:45]  That is the president, the parliament, etc.
[00:22:49]  Okay?
[00:22:54]  Someone said, someone else said the audio is low.
[00:22:56]  Okay, chat.
[00:22:56]  Is audio low?
[00:22:57]  Give me ones or twos.
[00:22:58]  If the audio is good, give me a one.
[00:22:59]  If the audio is low, give me a two.
[00:23:02]  Let's see what the fuck happens here.
[00:23:04]  Give me a one of the audio is good.
[00:23:05]  Give me a two of the audio is low.
[00:23:09]  One of it's if it's good, two if it's low.
[00:23:12]  I think that's just basic common sense.
[00:23:13]  I mean, I think of myself and probably you're in this camp as well.
[00:23:17]  We didn't like Joe Biden, we didn't like Barack Obama.
[00:23:19]  But if an outside force were to come in here and try and topple them while they were the president, I would 100% rally around the flat.
[00:23:26]  Exactly.
[00:23:26]  And that's precisely what happened.
[00:23:29]  That's just common sense.
[00:23:30]  So if we wanted to strike.
[00:23:31]  Well, you actually did.
[00:23:33]  Right.
[00:23:33]  You joined the military under Bill Clinton.
[00:23:36]  I assume you didn't vote for.
[00:23:37]  Right.
[00:23:38]  Right.
[00:23:39]  You joined in 1998.
[00:23:40]  You've gone the whole cycle of the war on terror, I notice, and served out as an NCO.
[00:23:47]  I think your entire NCO and warrant officer.
[00:23:49]  And warrant officer 20 years.
[00:23:52]  And I should just say, I hate ever to refer to a man's resume as like a data point because your ideas exist separately.
[00:23:59]  But in this specific case, meaning you, you spent most of your time fighting Iranian proxies.
[00:24:05]  Yeah, a good deal of it.
[00:24:06]  Yeah.
[00:24:07]  Yeah.
[00:24:08]  So you're aware of the threat from Iran.
[00:24:11]  You have personally used violence against that threat.
[00:24:14]  Yep.
[00:24:15]  A lot of it, I think.
[00:24:17]  And you supported the president's policy up until fairly recently.

=== Disrespecting the Enemy (09:08) ===

[00:24:23]  Right.
[00:24:23]  And you've said that a lot in public, in fact.
[00:24:25]  Yeah, mods.
[00:24:26]  Everybody that is trolling on the audio, kicked them out.
[00:24:29]  We want them out of here, bro.
[00:24:32]  You went to work for him.
[00:24:32]  He hired you.
[00:24:33]  Yeah.
[00:24:34]  Right.
[00:24:35]  But here's the, from what I can.
[00:24:37]  Get these niggas out of here, bro.
[00:24:38]  They hurt the quad of the show every single time when they fucking do that shit, bro.
[00:24:41]  I fucking hate audio trolls.
[00:24:42]  They come in here and they think shit's funny.
[00:24:44]  That's why you got to kick them out forever, forever banished.
[00:24:46]  Can tell is the central question.
[00:24:48]  Like this guy right here, Lund Eater.
[00:24:50]  You're about to be Shadow Realm Eater now, bro.
[00:24:52]  Enjoy the Shadow Realm.
[00:24:54]  Ban.
[00:24:55]  The fuck out of here, bro.
[00:24:56]  Send all these niggas to the Shadow Realm, bro.
[00:24:58]  Time to send you to the Shadow Realm.
[00:25:02]  The future is mine.
[00:25:04]  Imminent threat.
[00:25:05]  Now, the president has said many times to many people, including the public, Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.
[00:25:11]  I'm sure he must have said that to you.
[00:25:12]  You don't have to say it, but he said it to everybody.
[00:25:14]  Is that fair?
[00:25:14]  That's fair.
[00:25:15]  Yeah.
[00:25:16]  They can't have a nuke.
[00:25:17]  Whenever asked, we say, let's just start here.
[00:25:18]  They can't have a nuke.
[00:25:20]  Okay.
[00:25:20]  Got it.
[00:25:21]  Everyone agreed with that conceptually.
[00:25:23]  We're going to talk about that because Tulsi Gabriard gets growed on this about the nuclear weapon.
[00:25:28]  And she admits that we destroyed their nuclear capabilities.
[00:25:31]  So why the hell did we invade them?
[00:25:32]  Or sorry, why the hell did we bomb them?
[00:25:34]  Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?
[00:25:39]  No, they weren't, you know, three weeks ago when this started, and they weren't in June either.
[00:25:44]  I mean, the Iranians have had a religious ruling, a fatwa, against actually developing a nuclear weapon since 2004.
[00:25:51]  That's been in place since 2004.
[00:25:53]  That's available in the public sphere.
[00:25:55]  But then also, we had no intelligence to indicate that that fatwa was being disobeyed or it was on the cusp of being lifted.
[00:26:02]  The Iranian strategy, it's actually pretty pragmatic.
[00:26:04]  The Iranians are obviously aware of what's taking place in their big boss.
[00:26:08]  Thank you, Omama.
[00:26:09]  Appreciate you.
[00:26:09]  Southside Welder, appreciate you.
[00:26:11]  Roland Kantu, thank you so much on Kik.
[00:26:13]  Region and their strategy was to not completely abandon their nuclear program because they saw what happened to Mumar Gaddafi in Libya when he said they saw what happened to Saddam Hussein too.
[00:26:24]  Because Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program and what did they do?
[00:26:26]  They killed him anyway.
[00:26:29]  One thing that's very apparent in the Middle East is they know that they cannot trust the Middle East, unfortunately.
[00:26:35]  Said, hey, I've got no more nukes.
[00:26:36]  I'll do what you say.
[00:26:37]  I'll give up my nukes.
[00:26:38]  And we gave them the Nobel Peace Prize.
[00:26:40]  Yeah, we regime changed him and he was executed by his own people in the most horrific way.
[00:26:44]  Oh, sodomized.
[00:26:46]  And also what happened there, too.
[00:26:47]  Now Libya is a shithole.
[00:26:49]  It was a once thriving country with no debt.
[00:26:52]  Now it's a shithole.
[00:26:54]  By a bayonet.
[00:26:54]  Right.
[00:26:55]  Okay.
[00:26:56]  So that's the lesson I think that the entire region took from that when Hillary Clinton.
[00:27:01]  Unfortunately, that is what the neocon, neoliberal warmongers, that's the lesson that they showed everyone in the region.
[00:27:08]  And then conversely, the Iranians also knew that if they came out and said, okay, we've got a nuke, whether they were bluffing or not, Saddam Hussein, Iraq right next door.
[00:27:18]  So they kind of have just so you guys know, they never had a nuke.
[00:27:21]  FYI.
[00:27:22]  They never had a nuke.
[00:27:24]  Okay.
[00:27:25]  That has been Israeli propaganda for years.
[00:27:27]  I think.
[00:27:28]  He was hung by his own people, you know, after a bloody war that's still essentially going on inside of Iraq.
[00:27:35]  So the Iranians' position, when viewed from the lens of the region, was actually fairly pragmatic.
[00:27:41]  They were preventing themselves from developing a bomb, but they still wanted the ability.
[00:27:45]  They wanted the ability to enrich.
[00:27:47]  They wanted the ability to have some components so that they weren't completely stripped of it.
[00:27:52]  See, I love that Joe Kent is actually being honest here.
[00:27:55]  Yes, the strategy, guys, was being what's called a nuclear threshold state, okay?
[00:27:59]  A nuclear threshold state allows you the ability to basically say, look, we want to comply.
[00:28:07]  You need to lift the sanctions.
[00:28:08]  If you're not, we're going to enrich at a higher level.
[00:28:11]  The enrichment at 60%, et cetera, was always a negotiating chip to get the sanctions relieved.
[00:28:17]  Okay, guys?
[00:28:19]  It's that simple.
[00:28:20]  I know a lot of neocons don't like hearing this.
[00:28:23]  I know a lot of fucking Israelis don't like hearing this.
[00:28:26]  I know a lot of Zionists don't like hearing this, but it's the fucking truth.
[00:28:30]  It was always about maintaining a nuclear program for energy, of course, but also as a deterrent where, look, we can make a bomb, but we're choosing not to.
[00:28:44]  We want to negotiate.
[00:28:46]  That's what it was.
[00:28:48]  That's what it was.
[00:28:50]  And can you honestly blame them?
[00:28:55]  We destroyed Syria.
[00:28:56]  We destroyed Lebanon.
[00:28:58]  We destroyed Sudan.
[00:28:59]  We destroyed Iraq, Libya.
[00:29:04]  We destroyed the entire Middle East.
[00:29:06]  Everyone in the Middle East either got destroyed by the United States and Israel or got cucked by the United States and Israel.
[00:29:13]  So if you want to go ahead and be able to have some type of autonomy, some sovereignty, what are you going to do?
[00:29:21]  How are you going to keep these bullies from attacking you?
[00:29:24]  A nuclear bomb.
[00:29:26]  Look at Kim Jong-un.
[00:29:29]  Gets a nuclear bomb.
[00:29:31]  What does Trump do?
[00:29:32]  Goes and visits him in fucking North Korea.
[00:29:37]  That's the truth, chat.
[00:29:39]  And to be honest with you, if the Iranians had a nuclear bomb, the Israelis wouldn't be attacking them the way that they do right now.
[00:29:52]  We always assess that they were either several months or a year, two years away from actually being able to develop a nuclear weapon.
[00:29:58]  And that's not because the Iranians are stupid people.
[00:30:01]  I think we can tell.
[00:30:02]  They have very high IQ.
[00:30:03]  And the fact that they've been able to build some of the weapons that they've built while being sanctioned is actually very impressive.
[00:30:09]  One of the most sanctioned countries in the world, number two most sanctioned country in the world, chat, behind Russia.
[00:30:16]  At one time, they were probably number one prior to the Russia-Ukraine war right now.
[00:30:23]  Or North Korea, but they've always been in the top two to three.
[00:30:26]  The Iranians are anything but stupid.
[00:30:28]  They had the ability, I think, the brainpower to actually develop one, or they could have simply traded a ton of oil with.
[00:30:35]  Yeah, some idiot comes in here, Tony Tanner says, come on, man, we're jihadists.
[00:30:39]  You can't be serious.
[00:30:40]  See, bro, this is why I can't talk to these niggas, bro.
[00:30:42]  Yo, some of you guys are so fucking stupid that you guys don't even respect the capabilities of your enemies, bro.
[00:30:49]  Like, you guys are so fucking dumb.
[00:30:51]  Tell me you're a retarded Zionist and I'll tell you you're a retarded Zionist, bro.
[00:30:55]  Holy shit, man.
[00:30:57]  People are so stupid.
[00:30:58]  Like, I hate stupid people, bro.
[00:31:00]  I hate stupid people.
[00:31:02]  Like, if someone tells you the military capability of your enemies or talks complex geopolitical discourse, has complex geopolitical discourse with you and explains why countries do the shit that they do, right?
[00:31:16]  Or why they engage in certain things that they do.
[00:31:18]  And your response is, jihadi, terrorist sympathizer.
[00:31:22]  Like, you're just an idiot, dude.
[00:31:24]  You're just a fucking retard as we sit here with five to six dollar fucking gallons of oil.
[00:31:32]  Like, you're stupid.
[00:31:33]  You're fucking stupid.
[00:31:34]  You watch Fox News.
[00:31:35]  You're a fucking retard.
[00:31:37]  You're 50 IQ.
[00:31:38]  And quite frankly, you deserve to get roasted.
[00:31:40]  You're stupid, bro.
[00:31:41]  There's not much else I could say.
[00:31:45]  Pakistan or someone else.
[00:31:46]  I hate retarded motherfuckers, bro.
[00:31:48]  And it's amazing to me how stupid people are when it comes to foreign policy.
[00:31:53]  Holy shit, people are dumb.
[00:31:56]  To actually get a nuclear weapon.
[00:31:58]  They were not doing that.
[00:31:59]  We had no intelligence to indicate that they were.
[00:32:03]  Then why was the president?
[00:32:06]  There's the number two guy in the intelligence community saying that there was no intelligence that they were.
[00:32:10]  Did you hear that, dummy?
[00:32:11]  Huh?
[00:32:14]  All you retarded niggas in the chest saying jihadi, some other bullshit.
[00:32:18]  To actually get a nuclear weapon.
[00:32:19]  But stupid.
[00:32:20]  They had the ability, I think, the brainpower to actually develop one, or they could have simply traded a ton of oil with Pakistan or with someone else to actually get a nuclear weapon.
[00:32:30]  They were not doing that.
[00:32:31]  We had no intelligence to indicate that they were.
[00:32:41]  All the retarded Zionists, all the stupid, you know, neocons, a.k.a. the warmongers, shut the fuck up forever.
[00:32:50]  Shut the fuck up forever.
[00:32:52]  This is the number two guy from the intelligence community telling you, because he just resigned yesterday, that there was no intelligence that they were doing that.
[00:33:06]  Stupid fucks in my chat.
[00:33:07]  Don't know nothing.
[00:33:08]  You got the number two guy in the intel community telling you, what are you going to say now?
[00:33:12]  You're smarter than Joe Kent.
[00:33:14]  You know more than Joe Kent.
[00:33:15]  You have a TSSCI?
[00:33:16]  You got a White House clearance retard?
[00:33:18]  Shut the fuck up.
[00:33:20]  Hate stupid people, bro.
[00:33:24]  Then why was the president?
[00:33:27]  Was he told that they were on the brink?
[00:33:30]  Hey, this retard in the chat.

=== Skewed Middle East Analysis (12:00) ===

[00:33:31]  Deferred says, where can I watch this video without this guy stopping every 15 seconds?
[00:33:36]  The Shadow Realm.
[00:33:36]  Enjoy.
[00:33:37]  That's where you can watch it.
[00:33:38]  Time to send you to the Shadow Realm.
[00:33:43]  The future is mine.
[00:33:44]  That's where you can watch it.
[00:33:47]  Why at the beginning of every conversation about Iran would the president say, I don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
[00:33:53]  Why was that the central question when, and you would know, since you were the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, why would he say that if there was no intelligence or evidence that they were actually developing a nuke?
[00:34:07]  So a couple things.
[00:34:09]  PBD said, Joe Kent will lie.
[00:34:11]  Guys, PBD is a diaspora Iranian who is pro-Shah.
[00:34:18]  He is a hardcore Zionist, or he is a Zionist.
[00:34:21]  He is pro-Israel.
[00:34:23]  So I hate to say it, but you can't take anything that PBD says seriously when it comes to geopolitical affairs because Patrick is terrified of criticizing the Jewish lobby, Israel, or Zionism.
[00:34:37]  Because he understands that for his business to make a bunch of money, because he does a lot of consulting, he cannot be critical of Israel.
[00:34:46]  So you can't rely on his, I hate to say it, you can't rely on his geopolitical analysis in the Middle East.
[00:34:55]  It's extremely skewed.
[00:34:57]  Extremely skewed.
[00:34:59]  All right.
[00:35:00]  It's extremely skewed and biased because he's pro-Israel.
[00:35:04]  All right.
[00:35:04]  And he runs a consulting business on top of the podcast.
[00:35:07]  And a lot of his clients that he consults with are Jews.
[00:35:10]  So what do you think?
[00:35:13]  Okay.
[00:35:17]  This is what I talk about in the letter about this ecosystem of information that's laundered through a lot of prominent neoconservative types that are very translation sympathetic to the Israeli cause and then also Israeli government officials who give us things in semi-official channels.
[00:35:40]  What they did was they created basically a shifting red line or a new red line.
[00:35:45]  So if the president's red line was Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, we've actually got a lot of trade space in there for a deal to be made because of what the Iran, what I just described with the Iranian policy, essentially the Iranians saying, okay, well, we don't want a nuclear weapon.
[00:35:58]  Well, that means we basically are at a point where we can start negotiating and we can come up with a deal.
[00:36:03]  And the president is a fantastic deal maker.
[00:36:05]  So if your goal is to move.
[00:36:07]  But the problem was never, let's be clear about this.
[00:36:10]  The problem was never about removing their nuclear capabilities.
[00:36:16]  It was about destroying the regime.
[00:36:19]  Because if it was about negotiations, they already had that with the JCPOA.
[00:36:23]  And the Iranians, despite what Israel will tell you, the Iranians were complying with the JCPOA 100%.
[00:36:31]  How do we know this?
[00:36:32]  Because several other countries were involved in the process.
[00:36:38]  You can hate Obama all you want.
[00:36:40]  You can hate John Kerry as much as you want.
[00:36:42]  You can hate the entire Joe Biden, whatever.
[00:36:47]  The bottom line is this.
[00:36:48]  The JCPOA was absolutely the best document when it came to the oversight, control, and most importantly, anti-nuclear proliferation for Iran.
[00:37:09]  Okay?
[00:37:10]  It truly was.
[00:37:12]  They only started to aggressively enrich once Trump stupidly pulled out of the nuclear deal.
[00:37:22]  Move us away from any kind of deal and your goal is to move us into a conflict, you have to shift that red line.
[00:37:28]  And that's where a lot of this, I would say, what became a de facto U.S. policy of Iran can have no nuclear enrichment.
[00:37:37]  It was laundered through a lot of the different talking heads, Mark Levin, Mark Dubowitz.
[00:37:41]  You've got the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
[00:37:44]  You guys want to know who owns all the, who runs all these organizations?
[00:37:50]  I think we know.
[00:37:52]  I think we know.
[00:37:54]  You name it.
[00:37:54]  Washington, D.C. has plenty of pro-Israeli lobbyists who will come.
[00:37:58]  And just so you guys know, also, all these Republican fucking think tanks, they're run by Jews, bro.
[00:38:06]  We just got to call a spade a spade, man.
[00:38:08]  Okay?
[00:38:09]  The people who write these fucking defense policy papers, like the Clean Break memo or the Project for a New American Century, all written by Jews.
[00:38:19]  Dual allegiance, Zionist Jews.
[00:38:24]  And say those things, who will publish think pieces on it, who will go on the media, who will run, you know, op-eds in the Wall Street Journal to talk about this, why they can't have any enrichment whatsoever.
[00:38:33]  And then we have a high degree of engagement with.
[00:38:36]  And they say no enrichment, right?
[00:38:38]  They say no enrichment.
[00:38:39]  And then they move the goalpost.
[00:38:42]  Okay?
[00:38:43]  Because if it was just about the new, like making sure that we have, they don't have a nuclear bomb, they could have been had that.
[00:38:49]  Shout out to you, Shaman the barbarian.
[00:38:52]  Israeli government officials who will come in and say, well, they're enriching and they could enrich or they could enrich more and that will get them closer to a nuclear weapon.
[00:39:01]  So then enrichment basically became the new U.S. policy.
[00:39:05]  And the only official I've heard, and folks are welcome to look for this, that actually that said this in the first Trump administration was Mike Pompeo.
[00:39:13]  He said it.
[00:39:13]  The president didn't say it.
[00:39:14]  The president has been.
[00:39:15]  Yep, Mike.
[00:39:16]  And why?
[00:39:16]  Because Mike Pompeo has a battery in his back from the Jewish lobby.
[00:39:22]  That is why he was one of the biggest pushers to end the nuclear deal and put the IRGC on the watch list.
[00:39:27]  Guys, I did not watch this interview.
[00:39:29]  This interview is live.
[00:39:29]  I'm fucking just, I told you guys all this shit already.
[00:39:33]  Very consistent.
[00:39:33]  He said, Joe Kent, the number two intel guy, is confirming everything I've already told y'all, Niggas.
[00:39:39]  I don't want to say I'm on point, but I'm on fucking point.
[00:39:42]  I fucking told y'all.
[00:39:44]  I hate to say that.
[00:39:46]  But hey, I am vindicated yet again.
[00:39:49]  And they can't have a nuclear weapon.
[00:39:50]  But again, like I said, that puts us in a place where we actually could have.
[00:39:53]  Did I not do a whole fucking breakdown yesterday on what got us into this war?
[00:40:00]  I broke all of this down 24 hours ago for you guys.
[00:40:04]  It's going to come out in a clip where I went from 2018, how Trump, how Trump engaged in the Abraham Accords.
[00:40:15]  He recognized Jerusalem.
[00:40:17]  He moved the embassy, et cetera.
[00:40:23]  The recognition of the Golan Heights.
[00:40:27]  The Temple Institute being built, which would destroy the Alexa Mosque.
[00:40:33]  And then Joe Biden negotiating with the Saudis to be brought into the Abraham Accords.
[00:40:38]  All of this led to October 7th.
[00:40:43]  All of that led to October 7th.
[00:40:47]  I said all this shit yesterday, bro.
[00:40:53]  This interview is live right now.
[00:40:56]  Okay?
[00:40:56]  This interview is live right now.
[00:40:59]  I told you guys all this for yesterday, for weeks, for months.
[00:41:04]  I told you guys I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
[00:41:06]  Me and my brother have been predicting all this shit.
[00:41:10]  And the number two guy under Tulsi fucking Gabbard is telling you guys what I've been telling y'all.
[00:41:19]  What everyone else is too scared to say in right-wing media because it's owned by fucking Jews, okay?
[00:41:31]  Literally said all of this in excruciating detail.
[00:41:38]  And I love the fact that Joe Kent, an American patriot, by the way, who saw all the classified shit that knows exactly what our strengths and our weaknesses are, knows America's secrets versus their secrets.
[00:41:54]  He's coming to the same fucking conclusion I gave you guys yesterday.
[00:42:03]  I don't want anybody in fucking chat ever talking shit to me again when it comes to Middle Eastern foreign policy.
[00:42:08]  Shut the fuck up forever.
[00:42:10]  All the haters, shut the fuck up forever.
[00:42:19]  All right, let's get back to it.
[00:42:21]  Negotiations.
[00:42:23]  Oh, and we're going to get the fuck off YouTube here in a few minutes, by the way.
[00:42:26]  Get ready to go to kick, bro.
[00:42:28]  I only came on here so you niggas know that I'm live because I kind of started late.
[00:42:32]  So get ready.
[00:42:33]  We are going to get the fuck off here very soon and go to kick.
[00:42:36]  Fuck YouTube, bro.
[00:42:37]  I can't even fucking say everything that I want to say.
[00:42:40]  Every time I say fucking Jews or whatever, I'm like, oh, shit, I'm on YouTube.
[00:42:43]  Oh, God, I can't say this.
[00:42:45]  So get ready.
[00:42:45]  We're going to switch on over to kick niggas.
[00:42:47]  Only President Trump, I think, could successfully have negotiations with Iran because he actually punched them in the face.
[00:42:52]  And the Iranians had been walking all over us.
[00:42:54]  They had been killing our soldiers.
[00:42:56]  All of that is true.
[00:42:56]  I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Iranians, what their proxies were doing.
[00:43:00]  President Trump level set that when he killed Qasem Solmani and he killed Abu Madi Mohandis.
[00:43:06]  The folks who wanted to push an actual regime change war in Iran knew this and they knew there was a potential to get a deal or there was a potential for President Trump just to continue.
[00:43:15]  We're going to switch over in about two minutes, guys.
[00:43:17]  At 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, tight, like straight, flat.
[00:43:22]  We're switching over.
[00:43:23]  Continue the policy of maximum pressure sanctions.
[00:43:26]  All right, someone said Joe Ken is a trick.
[00:43:28]  Okay, bro.
[00:43:28]  And if you come after us, we will hit you hard.
[00:43:31]  I'm not here to talk about other shit.
[00:43:32]  I'm here to talk about the Iranian analysis right now with what the fuck is going on in the Middle East.
[00:43:37]  And that got the protesters out on the street in Iran.
[00:43:40]  And that's he's right on this.
[00:43:41]  Actually, what the hell is that?
[00:43:43]  Regime feared the most.
[00:43:44]  I don't think the Ayatollah feared dying, not because he, you know, is some crazy lunatic.
[00:43:50]  I'm sure some degree of the Shia martyrdom culture played a factor in that.
[00:43:54]  However, I think he knew that if he was killed, the regime would survive because the people would rally around the regime.
[00:44:00]  Not even he knew.
[00:44:02]  He set it up.
[00:44:02]  They have what's called a mosaic defense.
[00:44:05]  I also explained all this yesterday for you guys as well.
[00:44:07]  Before the Ayatollah died, he had marching orders given to all the IRGC heads from 31 different provinces all across Iran.
[00:44:15]  What did that basically say?
[00:44:16]  Hey, guys, when or if the U.S. kills me, this is what you guys are going to do.
[00:44:22]  You are going to attack Israel and everybody else all along the Gulf.
[00:44:33]  And they definitely did that.
[00:44:35]  A mosaic defense, guys, is a defense or a military structure where it's decentralized.
[00:44:40]  Okay.
[00:44:41]  It means if the head is gone, they can still effectively fight and cause damage.
[00:44:46]  Okay.
[00:44:47]  And the Iranians came up with this military structure after they saw Saddam Hussein get toppled.
[00:44:52]  Okay.
[00:44:53]  Because Saddam Hussein had a centralized structure.
[00:44:57]  Okay.
[00:44:59]  So they learned from Saddam getting toppled, and they also learned from Gaddafi getting toppled.
[00:45:04]  And they realized, holy shit, if our leadership is gone, we need to find a way to still be able to fight and have what's called second strike capability.
[00:45:14]  Okay?
[00:45:16]  All right, guys, I'm going to go ahead and end YouTube right now.
[00:45:19]  YouTube is going down, guys.
[00:45:20]  Come on over to kick.
[00:45:21]  Kick.com.com slash Myron Gaines X. Come on over.
[00:45:25]  We're doing some fantastic analysis here.
[00:45:27]  Okay.
[00:45:28]  Switch on over, guys.
[00:45:29]  We're getting off YouTube.
[00:45:30]  I don't got to fucking sense myself anymore.
[00:45:31]  Getting the fuck off this.
