IRAN WAR DAY 18: Joe Kent RESIGNS In Protest Of Iran War | America First Ep. 1659
Nick Fuentes details Joe Kent's resignation from the Counterterrorism Center as a protest against an Israel-driven Iran war, alleging the Trump administration colluded with Jewish groups to scuttle the JCPOA and utilize the "Canary Mission" blacklist via Palantir for surveillance. He critiques JD Vance for distancing himself from the conflict to secure Silicon Valley funding while betraying America First principles, arguing that neoconservatives like Laura Loomer manipulate policy through gaslighting. Ultimately, Fuentes frames these events as evidence of a globalist takeover, calling for white Christians to become "soldiers of Christ" to reclaim American sovereignty against perceived Jewish control and societal decay. [Automatically generated summary]
People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have are foolish.
It's all going.
It's all going away.
This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
And we're killing ourselves every day.
Inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
People have got to start to get courageous.
And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
And the alternative is that there will be no country.
Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
I told you so.

Palantir comes in and interprets the data using algorithms, using artificial intelligence, using software to make vast amounts of data usable.
That's what they are.
And so many of the people that worked with Elon that came into the government through Doge worked with Palantir.
Now that Doge is finished, Palantir seems to be just getting started.

It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
People do not stab young girls on trains because they're born black.
People do not shoot Palestinians in the back of the head or cheer it on just because they're Jewish.
The people that do this are lost.
They have to be isolated and segregated out.
A new consensus must emerge.
Are you in favor of a society with meaning?
A society where life is sacred.
Where life has sanctity, where people's lives and their dignity and their integrity is respected?
Or are we going to live in a society that is a never-ending war between nihilistic tribes, warlords, savages, pagans?
I see an emerging consensus.
And I think that the mature people that actually love America, actually love our children, the people that recognize the division, the peril that we're in, we need to fortify a new consensus and rally the people of conscience, the people of decency, the people of humanity, the people of charity towards their fellow man,
against those that want to kill us, against those that laugh and celebrate when innocent people are harmed.
For any reason, for any ideological reason.
Against the people that are cruel, the people that are hateful.
And by that, I mean the people that are really cruel.
Not the people that say things you disagree with, not the people that are provocative, not the people that are sometimes angry, but the people that are really cruel and really evil.
What makes Christianity and Christ so different from the other religions is that our religion is based on the bearing of suffering for the sake of even those that persecute us.
An overflowing of love.
An overflowing of self-giving love.
So much of it, it cannot be contained.
An unconditional, absolute standard of love for all of God's children, even those that are misguided, even those that persecute us, even the most heinous among us.
That is what makes us different.
That is what makes us good.
The Canary Mission00:02:03
unidentified
The Canary
Mission is an Israeli-funded blacklist, which, since July 2025, has been confirmed to be used by the Trump administration to target students, professors, and professionals who oppose Israel and reside in the United States.
This idea is part of an initiative created by the Heritage Foundation, the same group responsible for the infamous Project 2025.
In their initiative, titled Project Esther, they state that students participating in pro-Palestinian protests and activism are supporting Hamas, a group that the United States designates as a foreign terrorist organization.
Therefore, pro-Palestinian students are considered to be supporting terrorism and are subject to the revocation of visas, frozen bank accounts, asset seizures, and the denial of basic constitutional rights.
In effect, the Canary mission serves as a means to circumvent constitutional protections, allowing the federal government to engage in intelligence gathering activities that would otherwise be considered unlawful.
But the Canary mission is not alone.
Shadow War With Iran00:04:44

Palantir, another company closely aligned with the state of Israel, uses AI-driven analytics to maintain private databases on U.S. citizens and currently works with four federal agencies.
While government contracting with the private sector is long-standing, the prominent influence of Jewish groups within these increasingly powerful organizations warrants careful examination.
I renew the call for all able-bodied young American men, all of our elite human capital, all of our geniuses, warriors, intelligent people to dedicate themselves to American sovereignty and independence.
As Christians, as Americans, as white people, as citizens of the United States.
And anybody that settles for anything less is just as much of an enemy.
I would actually consider them worse than our oppressors.
So on Independence Day, it's important to reflect on the fact that we are an occupied nation.
Now, just like then, we're being ruled by a small country across an ocean, serving itself at our expense.
And as long as that is the case, I will always be obsessed with that.
As long as that is the case, I will always be speaking out against that and fighting against that.
And I will always be anchored, understanding that that is the fundamental struggle.
As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat, as long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and they're the greatest country ever, and I will never be okay with that.
Ever.
And it doesn't matter what they offer me or us.
It doesn't matter how they might try to placate us or appease our interests, the concessions they'll make.
Barack Obama created the joint comprehensive plan of action, the JCPOA, or the Iranian nuclear deal.
And Barack Obama brought together China, Russia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the European Union to enforce a nuclear deal that restricts Iran's enrichment of uranium.
The early talks were conducted in secret, and the Israelis were furious, furious about this.
They hated Obama.
Netanyahu went to a joint session of Congress and gave a speech in defiance of the American president and its nuclear deal, and Congress gave 37 standing ovations.
This is the background of Trump's first election.
2016 election happens.
Trump gets elected with the help of the Israelis.
You don't believe me?
There's a whole article about it.
It's an excerpt from James Bamford's book, Spy Fail.
It goes into great detail about the hidden collusion in the 2016 election.
It wasn't Trump and Russia.
It was Trump and Israel.
And why was Israel so hell-bent on getting a Republican elected in 2016?
They colluded with Trump to get him elected so that Trump would do maximum pressure and create a ladder of escalation, pulling us out of the deal, declaring the IRGC terrorists, then killing its leader, putting sanctions on the regime.
This is a war that started a long time ago, that Trump made hot in 2018 and has been going on for seven years.
Just like in Iraq, which went from 1990 until today, just like Libya, which went from 2011 to today, Syria, which went from 2011 to today, and Iran, which went from 2018 until today.
That's the nature of forever wars.
And if you're not paying attention to those underlying forces, you're going to fall for it again and again.
You're going to be surprised and confused and coping over and over.
And people are just tripping over themselves to do it again.

Maybe bigger than that.
Is the truth worth it?
What is the truth worth to you?
What is telling the truth worth to you?
Is it worth something, nothing?
What are you willing to give to tell the truth?
All you need is Jesus.
All you need is prayer.
These material appetites, they will never be satisfied.
And even if they are, it'll never be an adequate substitute for communion with our Holy Father, with somebody, with the author of the world.
And every mother and father understands the love for a child.
And that is how we were made.
We were designed that way.
Because through that experience, we could understand by analogy God's love for us.
It says in Revelation that God will wipe away every tear.
And that's like, to me, it makes me want to cry when I read that.
People experience these things in their lives.
We've all been there where you feel like the whole world's against you, the walls are closing in.
And you read something like that that says that God, like our Father, our Creator, is going to wipe your tears off your face.

Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Tuesday.
We have a lot to talk about tonight.
Lots to get into Big Show.
Our featured story tonight.
We are once again talking about the war in Iran.
Day 18.
Day 18.
Everybody give it up for day 18 of our U.S.-Israel war with Iran for the Antichrist.
Great stuff.
Golden Age, second Trump administration, war for the third temple, and the lawless man.
Get excited for the midterms, they say.
And our featured story tonight, we're going to be talking all about the resignation of Joe Kent, a Trump administration official.
He is the director of the Counterterrorism Center, and he is under the office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
I'm sure you've seen this.
And for those that have been fans of the show, if you know the lore, you know I've had my run-ins with Joe Kent in the past.
In another lifetime, Joe Kent ran for Congress in Washington State in 2022, and then again in 2024, both times unsuccessfully.
After Trump won the election, Kent was brought on as the director of counterterrorism.
Now, today, he released publicly his resignation letter authored and sent to the President of the United States, where he said he's effectively stepping down from his role out of protest against the war in Iran.
And this is notable because this is the so far first and only defection, and even I would say dissent from inside the Trump administration against the war in Iran so far.
War has gone on for three weeks, and so far, Trump has kept the administration together.
There has been no high-level or any other public officials that have left, and nobody has even publicly disagreed.
The most that you have seen so far is it appears that some administration officials are quietly stepping away or distancing themselves.
I think of JD Vance.
I believe David Sachs, AI Czar, he critiqued the war this weekend, said maybe it's best to bring it to an end.
But this is the first government official to publicly and officially resign out of protest.
What is even more notable, however, aside from the resignation and the break with the president, is what Joe Kent actually wrote in the letter.
And Joe Kent very explicitly and specifically says that he is leaving his role because it was actually Israel and its lobby in the United States, which has drawn the United States into the war.
And so that makes this especially notable.
Not only is this dissent and you could call it a conscientious objection to the Trump administration via resignation, but it is the explicit and specific acknowledgement that we were brought to war by a foreign country, namely Israel, which is why I think this is very significant.
And not just for the course of the war, but obviously also for the machinations of the White House, the GOP, and the discourse surrounding the war in the country.
So it's a very big deal.
And I saw this on Twitter today, and actually it surprised me because in the past, Joe Kent has publicly criticized me for my critique of Israel.
And not only has he critiqued me for my position on Israel, but he also critiqued his opponent, his Democratic opponent in both congressional elections in 22 and 24 for not supporting Israel.
Now, all of a sudden, here in 2026, he seems to have changed his mind.
Or did he?
He has either had an epiphany, or perhaps the situation has become so dire and extreme that he had to say something if he was quiet about the issue before, or there's something else going on, or there's something more cynical and subtle and secretive happening, which we can speculate about, but we can't really know for sure.
But it is interesting.
So Joe Kent resigns, blames the war on Israel.
Trump throws him under the bus immediately.
And again, this stands in stark contrast with Kent's previous record on the issue.
So what do we make about all of this?
What are we to make of it?
We'll talk all about it tonight.
We're going to analyze it.
And I think I may be the only one that can speak with any kind of objectivity about Joe Kent because I'm somebody that Joe Kent has actually condemned over this issue.
I disagreed with him very publicly, and this had consequences for my career.
And I'll talk a little bit about that.
Not going to rehash the entire episode, but I'm sure a lot of you know some already.
And also because this is the issue that Joe Kent has now resigned over.
And as you know, I am one of the pioneers on the critique of the Israel lobby.
So maybe I'm specially suited to talk about this one.
But we're going to talk all about that.
We'll get into it.
We're also going to talk tonight about the situation with Tucker Carlson, related and very interesting.
We didn't get a chance to cover this last night, but I did want to get into it this week.
And this one, I don't even know what to make of this at all.
But over the weekend, Tucker Carlson, I'm sure you've seen this, he released a video on Saturday claiming that the CIA has been spying on his communications, that they intercepted his text messages with contacts inside of Iran.
We don't know who those people are or the contents of the messages or what that's even all about.
But Tucker claims that in the lead up to the war with Iran, U.S. intelligence was intercepting his text messages, and they believe, based on what they have seen, that Tucker is in violation of FARA, the Foreign Agent Registration Act, that he is effectively lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, in this case, Iran, without making the proper disclosures, without reporting it to the proper bodies in the U.S. government.
And so Tucker says somehow he has learned this information and that the CIA is preparing a report for the Justice Department, and that will then inform a criminal referral, that the CIA is making a referral to the DOJ, and the DOJ will then prosecute Tucker for the text messages.
He says this is going to happen to him very soon, although he's not worried.
Now, again, just like with Joe Kent, what exactly are we to make of this?
In the first place, we apparently now know that Tucker must be in contact with the Iranian government.
If the CIA is spying on him, the CIA only operates outside the U.S. border.
They only operate internationally.
They cannot operate, at least on paper, domestically.
So if they're intercepting the communications, it is because Tucker is sending text messages to a foreign country.
What's more, if they are referring him to the DOJ for a criminal prosecution under FARA, then that would suggest that he's not in contact with just anybody in the Iranian country, but the Iranian government itself.
And then that begs the question: what is a podcaster doing talking to the government of Iran as the U.S. prepares to go to war with Iran?
It's an interesting question.
Do those communications exist?
What's in them?
What is he saying to them?
It's hard to know what to make of that.
Because on the one hand, you would like to say this is an obvious crackdown on free speech.
And what's more, it's an obvious crackdown on a prominent anti-war voice and specifically an anti-Israel war voice.
So my first gut reaction is: well, they're really coming after everybody now.
They went after Charlie Kirk, perhaps.
Now they're coming after Tucker Carlson.
Who's next?
Me?
That was my first thought.
Then my second thought is: wait a second.
Is this not the mother of all self-reports?
Are you not just admitting that you're talking to the Iranian government?
Because you could say something to the effect of, first they came for the Tuckers, and I said nothing because I never talked to the government in Tehran.
Then they came for, but I never talked to the government of Iran.
And I never talked to the government of Saudi Arabia or Qatar or Israel or any of these countries for that matter.
Why is it that Tucker always seems to be doing that?
I never talk to the government of Argentina, of Spain, of Hungary, of Russia, of Serbia, of Qatar, of Saudi Arabia, of Iran, of Israel.
But Tucker seems to be talking to all these governments.
And one has to wonder: what is that?
You know, as Tucker would say, to borrow a phrase, so what is that?
What exactly is going on there?
Why is this podcaster, why is this glorified podcaster talking to all these foreign governments?
And what exactly is he saying?
And what is going on there?
Why would that be happening?
I would love to rush to his defense and say this is a crackdown on anti-war sentiment.
If he was talking to the government of Iran, that is a little bit suspicious.
And if the government came for me, you know what I would say?
I would say, I'm not talking to the government of Iran.
You know, he comes out and says, well, I'm not being paid by Iran, but I am talking to them because I'm an American.
And it's like, okay, but you do realize most Americans are not talking to any foreign government at all.
Actually, I think most Americans don't even have a passport.
Most Americans haven't even been to Canada or Mexico.
And you're talking to like every G20 government in the world.
You're talking to every, you're talking to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates.
He goes and says, Mohammed bin Zayed is the wisest man in the world.
And I know that because I'm best friends with him.
And you go, so what again does that have to do with being an American?
And we can all say we can defend the war in Iran without talking to the government in Iran.
Again, I don't really know what that is.
It's very strange to me.
And I'm not condemning him, by the way.
I am very suspicious of the criminal referral, but I also do wonder: is that foreign influence?
Because it's a fine line.
Here I am in Chicago in America, and I don't talk to any foreign government.
And as an American, I tell other Americans not to support the war.
If you're flying to and from the Persian Gulf all the time, if you're in the Arabian Peninsula, you know, six months out of the year and you're making the rounds hanging out with Mohammed bin Salman, Mohammed bin Zayed, you're in Iran, you're in Serbia, you're in Russia, you're in Argentina, you're at that point, you kind of say, okay, so this isn't normal.
Something is not right there.
I don't know who he is or what he is, but he's not what he says he is.
There's sort of this weird, we're sort of supposed to entertain these two thoughts in our head at once.
And once Tucker is just a simple, down-to-earth guy like the rest of us, hey, man, I just like fishing and hunting.
Me, I'm simple.
I just like to go in a sauna and play with my dogs and have sex with my wife.
And I like nicotine.
And I just like hunting and fishing.
And it's like, really?
So then what are you doing in Saudi Arabia all the time?
Like, what are you doing in Qatar all the time?
You're doing a lot of hunting and fishing over there?

I apologize.
I'm so late tonight.
We've been having some disruptions here at the studio past couple of weeks, been working on a lot of things.
Hopefully tomorrow, tomorrow, we're going to try to get the show back to a normal time, like 9:30.
But we've been very busy, so it just gets away a little bit.
It just has a tendency to just get away.
It just gets away a little bit.
But I promise tomorrow I'll be back earlier.
If you're watching the replay, Wednesday, I'm going to be live earlier.
Okay.
Bank on it.
So don't wait until midnight.
I'll be live earlier tomorrow.
We'll try to get the start time earlier.
It's just so hard.
I don't know about you guys.
I really struggle with punctuality.
I feel like I just can't do anything on time.
I don't know why.
I guess it's a lack of discipline.
It's not, there's no big explanation other than I need to get more discipline, but it's just hard.
I just, my mind wanders.
It's hard for me to focus.
And so it's not easy for me, but we're going to try to do it tomorrow.
Before we get into the big news, I also just want to talk about this a little bit.
There was this report in the Financial Times today.
And this is a little bit sort of adding on to what we were talking about last night.
There was a story in the Financial Times today.
Can you believe this?
Maybe you've heard of it already.
Apparently, moments after Donald Trump began bombing Iran three weeks ago almost.
Do you know the first person he called up to brag and gloat about the ongoing war?
Trump presses the button and thousands of airstrikes begin against Iran.
And the U.S. and Israel are on their way.
We are plunged into this regime change war in Iran.
Trump is in Mar-a-Lago announcing the war.
He settles back into his home, into his residence.
And the first person that he calls to talk about the war is Laura Loomer.
Can you believe that?
This is in the Financial Times today.
He calls Laura Loomer.
And I don't know what else you need to see to realize what is going on here.
But this is every week.
Think about the images that we have seen.
Think about these vignettes.
Let me create a short film for you.
Let me create a movie.
Let me create a Picasso painting for you.
Let me paint a picture of what we're witnessing.
Trump goes to war in Venezuela.
Then he goes to war in Iran.
Now we're contemplating regime change in Cuba.
Trump is on Air Force One, and Lindsey Graham is poking his head out from the corridor saying, Cuba's next.
We're going to bomb Cuba next on Air Force One.
Fast forward a few days.
Trump goes on True Social.
He sits down for a spell and he pulls out his phone and he types up a 1,000-word post glazing Mark Levin.
Glazing Mark Levin, doing somersaults and tricks on it, saying how wise he is and courageous and smart and special.
And he was chosen for this and he only cares about America and everybody needs to leave him alone.
And if you don't like him, you're not MAGA.
And if you don't like the war in Iran, you're not MAGA.
And then today we find out that after the bombs begin falling on Iran, okay, the bombs, let's say it slowly, the United States and Israel begin dropping bombs all over Iran, all over their missiles and nuclear complex and killing the Ayatollah.
Trump is laying in bed, giggling and kicking his feet on the phone with Laura Loomer while she tells him how great he is.
You're the greatest president ever, Mr. Trump.
You're the greatest president ever.
You bombed Iran.
That was so courageous.
And the Jewish people are so.
Let me paint a picture.
This is your second Trump administration.
Meanwhile, on Twitter, you have 40-year-old millennials, you have older Gen Xers, and they live somewhere else in the country, and they've got normie jobs, and they've got a wife and kids, and they are on Twitter reassuring themselves and their little group chats and all their friends that the posters are in control.
Hey, guys, it's totally okay.
Trump isn't a neocon.
He didn't sell us out.
He's not a puppet of Israel.
And even if he is, so what?
At least the mass deportations are sort of happening or something.
Meanwhile, a balding 30-year-old millennial, a balding 35-year-old millennial with no bitches and no motion, who is broke, who is living with roommates in a condo in Arlington, is on Twitter with a cartoon obvi telling everybody, Trump is the best to ever do it.
The posters are in control.
Don't panic.
Don't be a panican.
It's all going to be okay.
This is the saddest movie that has ever been created.
This is the most evocative, saddest painting I think that has ever been made.
And if that doesn't show you, I could tell you, but I could also just show you.
This is the problem.
And I said this last night, and I said this in the group chat, and I've been saying this for years.
And honestly, I said it perfectly in that tweet, which I reposted on my Telegram yesterday.
It's a tweet from October 2025.
You think that you're in control.
You think that you are on the same team as the Republicans.
The Republicans are our guys.
That's our team.
We all got to get together and support our team.
We got to get out there and mobilize and cheer on our team, our representatives in November all the time.
But they are not your team.
They are not us.
We are not them.
We're different.
They're different.
And this coalition, it's a fiction.
If there is a coalition, if you are a part of it, you are the most junior partner in it.
You have no influence, no leverage, no clout, no pull, and they don't give a shit about you.
And that could not be made more apparent by these vignettes, by these scenes, which have played out in just the past few weeks.
Who's calling Trump giggling and kicking their feet, happy about what is happening in this administration?
It's not Tucker.
It's not Alex Jones.
It's not Nick Fuentes.
It's not Candace Owens.
It's not Pat Buchanan.
It's not Michelle Malkin.
There are real America First Patriots, which, whether you agree with them 100% or not, whether we all get along or not, there are America First Republicans in the country.
And I've just listed a few of them.
People like Tucker, people like Candace, people like Michelle, people like Alex Jones.
These are real human beings that live in the country, care about America.
And these people and their priorities do not matter to this president at all.
And these people enjoy no access to the president at all.
And even if they do occasionally have an audience with the president, they have no influence over him at all.
And they have no influence over the policies.
And even if they give their opinions, Trump doesn't care.
And if and when or where they break with the president, all Trump does is throw them under the bus, throws them right under the bus.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massey, Rand Paul, Tucker Carlson, you name it.
If Trump breaks with America first and an America first Republican tells him what's up, if they somehow get an audience or access with him, if they somehow bypass Susie Wiles or the White House or Mar-a-Lago and the coterie of people there, the gatekeepers, then all Trump does is throw them under the bus and sick his own supporters on them.
Whereas all of the neocons, whether they supported Trump in 2016 or not, whether they have supported him since J6 or not, whether they really care about him or support America first or not, the most hardcore neocons, the most Israel-first Jews, the absolute worst of the worst, the most unlikable people, they seem to enjoy unlimited access, intimate friendship.
And if they disagree with the president, the president is apologetic to them.
If they're dissatisfied with what they're getting from the president, they show up to Mar-a-Lago.
They pound on his desk.
They tell him what he needs to do.
And he obeys them.
He does what they say.
And he repeatedly and constantly supports them and reaffirms his support for them always.
Lindsey Graham endorsed.
Mark Levin endorsed.
Laurel Loomer endorsed.
That's the movement, whether you like it or not.
And I think a lot of people are just in denial.
The Trump of 2026 is not the Trump of 2016.
Maybe this guy was always there deep down.
Certainly a possibility.
But in 2015, in 2016, when Trump got up and said, you know, I'm not going to take a side in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Rubio is a puppet of the Edelsons.
Maybe that was a facade.
Either way, that is different than what we're getting now.
And for all these people out there that are still talking about loyalty to the president, you need to really take a good, long, hard look in the mirror.
How much dignity and self-respect do you have?
Do you love yourself?
How can you continue to support somebody that seems to have no allegiance to you?
No loyalty to you.
No love for you.
I see these scenes.
Like I said, it's literally, it's this true social post.
It's this rumor that Loomer, that Trump actually called Loomer.
She didn't call him.
Trump called Loomer.
I just bombed Iran.
Aren't you proud of me?
Lindsey Graham sticking his head out in Air Force One.
And you go, for all these people that are unpaid cheerleaders for Trump, is Trump calling you on the phone?
Mr. Posters are in control.
Mr. Don't be a panikin.
Mr. Trusting the plan.
Fuck it.
MAGA HAT BACK ON.
Is Trump calling you for your advice?
Are you friends with Trump?
Are you dining with Trump in Mar-a-Lago, having lunch?
Do you have influence over him and over the policies?
Because if not, why not?
It's not because nobody has that kind of influence.
Laura Loomer has it, and she's an idiot.
She's literally an insane person.
Have you ever heard her?
Have you ever met her?
She literally got 5150 by her own family.
She's a nut job.
She's fucking crazy.
She has emotional breakdowns constantly in public, ugly crying, screaming and yelling.
And the president calls her, not you, not Mike Cernovich, not Jack Pasobic, not Andrew Torba, not any of these guys that were shucking and jiving and tap dancing and cooning for Trump unpaid.
Well, as far as we know, maybe they were being paid for years.
So it's not like nobody has that influence.
It's not like nobody has that kind of clout or pull.
You don't.
And you know who has it?
Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Fox News.
These are the people that Randy Fine, Lindsey Graham, these are the people that have the ear of the president.
And I don't know about you, but if someone else had that kind of influence and I didn't, I'd be pretty pissed.
If I was endlessly supporting somebody and using my resources to help that person, and that person was disloyal to me, and then they were friends with people that want me dead, that want my priorities to be forgotten about, I would be in protest.
This is like 101.
That's like the definition of being a cuck.
You for free.
These people go out and support Trump, cheerlead for Trump, everything like that on Twitter, on the campaign, whatever.
And he doesn't give a shit about you.
He's not talking to you.
He's not talking to people that represent you or your interests.
And I'm not even talking about me anymore.
I've been out of this for a long time.
I resigned from the Trump train in 24, basically.
But I'm talking about all these other people.
And he's sleeping with the enemy, Laura Loomer, Mark Levin, the usual suspects.
So to me, I just don't know what more you need to see there.
I went off about this on Telegram.
I basically said the same thing.
We have been fed this line for years from these influencers, which in my opinion is such a toxic problem.
These influencers have told us, we are in control.
We need to vote for Trump.
We need to vote Republican.
It's not we.
There's no we.
There's us and there's you.
There's this big Republican club that none of us are in.
Susie Wiles is in it.
And Stephen Miller is in it.
And Mark Levin is in that club.
And all these people are in the club.
You are not in the club.
So you have to act accordingly.
You have to take a somewhat adversarial posture towards Trump.
That doesn't mean uncharitable.
It doesn't mean hostile.
It doesn't even necessarily mean negative or pessimistic.
But if there is a separate entity, if there is this Mar-a-Lago club, if there is this lobbyist administration, whatever you want to call it, oligarch administration, and you are outside of it, you must look out for your own interest as a group.
You have to organize, find autonomous leadership, determine your own interests and what is best for you, and act as a separate group.
This is what I've been saying for years because clearly we are not in that club.
When they say posters are in control, hey, trust the plan.
Trump's looking out for us.
You say, what exactly are you or any of us getting out of it?
Our type of people, the people that believe the things we believe, they have no access, no influence, no clout, nothing in the court of Donald Trump.
And as such, this is why the policies are the way that they are.
This is why public opinion was too burdensome to follow through on mass deportations, but not for a war in Iran.
And people are left holding the bag, making excuses for Trump, doing apologetics for Trump.
Well, it's good enough.
Well, you know, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Well, at least we got something.
At least it's better than the Democrats.
Are the Jews, is Laura Loomer saying, hey, at least it's better than AOC?
I mean, literally imagine how excited the Israelis are.
That's like actually a good thought experiment.
Think about how excited you are as an American.
Gas prices are up.
Mass deportations are over.
At the minimum, there's a big question mark.
Even if you're in denial and you're a psycho, it's not really happening, right?
America's more diverse than ever.
We're at war with Iran, which nobody signed up for.
Nobody wanted.
There's no border wall.
We're going to lose in 26.
We didn't get the Epstein files.
We're not getting make America healthy again.
Like, we're not getting anything.
If you're a white guy in America, you're not enthusiastic.
Maybe you're saying at least it's better than the alternative.
Maybe you're saying, hey, at least we're making some progress.
Maybe you're saying this is still our best chance at achieving anything.
But nobody is saying two cheers for Donald Trump.
Nobody's saying three cheers for Donald Trump.
Hip hip hooray.
Nobody's saying that.
People are pretty dejected.
And even Trump's biggest supporters have either defected or they are in this unenviable position of having to constantly defend the crap that we have to swallow.
If you are Laura Loomer, if you are Mark Levin, imagine being them.
Could you be happier?
You're watching as Harvard gets shut down because of the pro-Palestine professors and protesters.
You're watching as anti-Semites are being deported.
You're watching as Thomas Massey is getting brutally attacked every day.
You're watching as Trump has finally delivered the war with Iran and Israel is expanding on all fronts and their enemies are being slaughtered.
Their enemies' leaders are being murdered.
I mean, you are as happy as you can be.
This is the best case scenario.
You're saying, I never thought it would be possible.
A war with Iran.
This is better than anybody could have ever hoped for.
So if you're a white Christian, you're like, well, at least it's not Kamala.
At least we're not in a gulag.
If you're a Jewish Israeli, you're like, this is better than I could have ever dreamed of.
I didn't even think this was possible.
I couldn't even have imagined that it could be this good.
How insane is that?
Wasn't the entire movement predicated on the exact opposite?
Do you remember in 2016, they used to talk about an enthusiasm gap?
Everybody is so engaged and so tuned in because they're excited about what they're going to get.
So they're driving hours and standing in line just to see it.
And they're volunteering to work in the administration.
And for the first time, Americans are optimistic and excited and they believe in what is possible.
They believe that change, real change, is possible and within reach and attainable and it will happen within our lifetimes.
Everyone thought the opposite.
Everyone thought that change was impossible, that the system was broken.
The system had failed.
The American dream was dead.
We had squandered everything.
That is what the original MAGA movement was about.
And for the first time, it was going to be everybody else that was going to have to be disappointed.
Everybody else was going to have to make peace with compromise.
It was going to be the billionaires and the healthcare companies and the international banks and the lobbyists and the political class and the media and Hollywood and Wall Street and foreign governments.
They were going to have to be disappointed that the U.S. was pulling up the drawbridge and bringing the troops home.
They were going to be disappointed that we would have huge tariffs and companies would have to reshore industry.
They were going to be disappointed that they would have to train Americans to work the jobs and that there'd be a preference on buying from companies that do their manufacturing in America.
It was supposed to be everybody else, people that were term-limited out of office, bureaucrats, inefficient, that would be fired quickly.
And look at how far we've come where now Americans are instructed to tell themselves, this is good enough.
That's what we're being told.
How sad is that?
And I've been trying to convey this on the show for a long time.
As somebody that was there at the beginning, how sad and tragic is that?
That in 2016, Trump made us believe in America and Trump made us believe in him.
And in a word, Trump made us believe in the possible that America could be a great country, that we could live better lives, that the best was yet to come, that things would improve or could improve rather than getting worse all the time, inexorably, and reform is impossible.
And we should probably resign ourselves to a lower quality of life than every other generation for the past 300 years.
And 10 years later, now we are being told by our president to accept less.
We're being told to compromise.
We are being told to settle for less.
We're being told, be happy with what you got.
Change is impossible.
It's politics.
You know how it goes.
We need to win the midterms.
We need to appeal to the moderates.
That's not politically feasible right now.
And people have been made to convince themselves that this is as good as it gets.
10 years in.
We're not talking one year in.
We're not talking two years in.
10 years in second administration, popular vote, electoral victory, House and Senate sweep.
And we're being told to tell ourselves, well, it's better than the alternative.
We're being gaslit.
Trump used to say, I'm not a politician.
I'm an outsider.
They're all talking no action.
And now we're being told grocery prices are cheaper than ever.
Gas prices are cheaper than ever.
The border wall is built.
The mass deportations are happening.
We won the war with Iran.
We're being fed.
The Epstein files got released and there's nothing there.
One bullshit line after another by the ultimate politician.
And we're in this weird state where we know everything sucks.
We know everything's fake.
We know nothing is getting better.
But we have to lie to ourselves that we're in a golden age, that we did it.
We made America great again.
It's so much better.
That's what's heartbreaking.
And that's what I'm trying to snap people out of: trying to tell people: expect more, demand more, have some hope, have some belief in yourself, have some self-respect.
We deserve better.
We deserve better.
This is our empire.
Why do we go to work every day and pay our taxes?
Why are we law-abiding citizens?
Why do we do what we do to keep this society going?
Is it so that we can accept our gradual demographic replacement, political corruption, death of our nation and civilization?
Is that really why we do it?
Because if that's what we have to look forward to, we should all just live completely irresponsible lives.
Go on a road trip, be a hippie, go see the world, go borrow a bunch of money and don't pay it back.
Go get on welfare, have more kids than you can afford, and be a white, be a wigger, right?
I mean, if that's all that we had to look forward to, why would anybody be doing any of this?
Would even be the point.
If we're going to engage in politics, then let's at least dream big.
Let's at least play for the jackpot.
Let's play to win, not play not to lose.
If we're going to play, if you're going to waste your time caring about politics, if you're going to waste your time stressing about the condition of the world, if you're going to dedicate your life to the struggle, then why not go big?
Why not dream big?
Why not actually stick up for yourself and your family?
What is the point otherwise?
Like, there's a lot of money in politics anyway, for the vast majority of people.
Why sacrifice if you're not doing it for a future that we actually can believe in, that we actually want, rather than more of the same.
So, anyway, that's the thing with Laura Loomer.
I just, I see that and I go, I don't even think people realize the gravity of it.
I don't even think people realize because they have been conditioned over time.
And you have these people that have been deeply brainwashed telling themselves, well, who are we going to vote for?
Who are we going to vote for?
Everybody was tapped out in 2016.
Everybody was totally tapped out.
Well, who are we going to vote for?
Vote for?
Why care about, if it's not about making the country better, then why even vote at all?
If we get an Iran war, whether it's Kamala or Trump, if we get mass migration, whether it's Kamala or Trump, if we get a Ukraine war, whether it's Kamala or Trump, then why vote at all?
If it's six to one, half a dozen of the other, why not just do something else with your Tuesday?
We voted for Trump in 16 and 20 and 24 because his promise, the conceit of Trumpism was not, hey, more conservative Republican governance.
It was, I will make America great again.
I'm a real leader.
I'm not a politician.
I'm going to reform the broken system and I'm going to deliver a real victory that you feel good about.
And we're going to believe in the promise of America again.
That is what he said.
And I guess that was all a campaign slogan.
It wasn't for me.
It wasn't for an 18-year-old Nick Fuentes.
You might say, oh, well, get real, grow up.
Well, for an 18-year-old Nick Fuentes, and I know for a lot of other people, it wasn't a campaign slogan.
We did actually believe.
And there's something to be said about the power of true belief.
I'm not going to squander that on whatever this is.
I still believe in America.
I believe in something bigger than Trump.
I believe in something bigger than the Republican Party.
I believe in America.
I believe in our heritage.
I believe in who we are as a people.
And we are still looking for our leader for that movement in the future.
People should be willing to open up a space for that and not go along and settle for this, never settle.
But that's that.
I do want to move on.
I want to get into our news.
I want to get into our featured story tonight.
I don't know that we'll get into the Tucker thing, you know.
Maybe we will towards the end.
But the big story tonight is about this resignation by Joe Kent from the Trump administration.
And this is our big story.
We are entering day 18 of our U.S.-Israel war in Iran.
No end in sight.
We are in this stalemate, as you know.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
The Iranian regime is intact, and they still possess the capability to attack the Gulf countries, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, Israel and U.S. bases.
The United States so far has been unable to extricate itself from the conflict.
There's no way out for us other than to escalate or to strategically surrender.
It is in the midst of this war that you're starting to see some cracks form inside the administration.
Over the weekend, the AI czar, David Sachs, publicly dissented from the Trump administration.
I think this is the first example of this.
David Sachs said that he believes the war in Iran should be brought to a close.
For those that don't know, he is a chief connector between the Trump administration and the little tech group of Silicon Valley founders.
He's Jewish, part of the PayPal Mafia.
And he's a very influential person in the team of JD Vance, in the world of Elon Musk, perhaps Peter Thiel, among others.
David Sachs this weekend said it's time for the war to end.
Shortly after that, today, Joe Kent, who is the director of counterterrorism for the United States, resigned his post in protest of the war.
He published his resignation letter and specifically said he's stepping down because Trump has broken his America first promise.
The foreign policy we're getting has diverged from the foreign policy that we were told we would get in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
And Joe Kent says he believes that actually it is the Israel lobby that has dragged us into the war.
And this is a story.
It says, quote, the top U.S. counterterrorism official said Tuesday that he resigned over his concerns with the ongoing war in Iran.
Joe Kent, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said in a social media post on X, quote, I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.
Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
While some Trump supporters outside the administration have been critical of the president's action, the administration has mostly presented a united front.
Trump told reporters when asked about Kent, quote, I always thought he was a nice guy, but weak on security.
When I read his statement, I realized it's a good thing he's out.
He said Iran is not a threat, which is an interesting statement because Trump appointed Kent to be the director of the counterterrorism center.
So Trump says, well, I always thought he was bad on security.
Really?
So you always thought that your own nominee to be the director of the counterterrorism center was bad on security.
So why then did you appoint him in the first place?
That doesn't even make any sense.
And see, this is again, this is where you got to say about Trump, I'm done with this guy.
Are you kidding me?
So Joe Kent, by the way, is totally correct about this.
This is a complete break from America first foreign policy.
And that is why people signed up.
This is why people voted in 2016, 2020, and 2024.
There are a lot of people that voted three times because of this, because they wanted an end to the endless wars, specifically in the Middle East.
Not in Cambodia, not in Congo, not in Pakistan, but in the Middle East.
And these Israel-driven wars against Israel's enemies.
People voted three times because they wanted Americans to stop dying in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere.
And Trump has obviously broken with that as he has plunged America into a war of choice, a war of aggression, something that was totally unnecessary.
It's not a preemptive strike because it didn't preempt anything.
It wasn't in self-defense because we were never attacked.
It wasn't about securing a vital American interest because it's hard to parse what interest is outweighed by a regime change war in a mountainous country three times the size of Iraq with a population of 90 million.
So Joe Kent is correct.
You broke your promise.
You betrayed America first.
Consequently, he's stepping down.
And what does Trump say?
Well, he was always bad on security.
Really?
Then why did you appoint him to be the director of counterterrorism if he was so bad on security?
You liar.
You utter liar and deceiver and traitor.
What does that even mean?
Well, he was always bad on security.
Okay, so then you should be impeached for treason.
Because either every word out of your fat, disgusting mouth is a lie or you committed treason.
You appointed somebody to run the counterterrorism center that in your own words you had no confidence in.
You thought he was always bad on security.
So that's a dereliction of duty.
You should be impeached.
You plunge us into a war with Iran where there's a high risk of sleeper cells on U.S. soil activating.
You bomb Iran all the time.
We're in a heightened state of security because of what has been happening.
And you appoint someone that's always been bad on security to defend the homeland and run counterterrorism.
Okay, then you should be impeached.
Or you're a liar, in which case you should also be impeached.
It's too much.
It's too much at this point.
I've just had it up to here.
I can't tolerate anymore.
I'm not a stupid person.
I'm not a dummy.
And I'm not a sycophant either.
I can be a very loyal person.
And I understand that there is some deference that is owed to the leader of any organization, of any movement, but this is bullshit.
This is insulting.
This is insulting to the intelligence of every American.
This is insulting to the dignity of every American soldier.
You sit there in the Oval Office and you say, well, I always thought he was bad on security.
Hey, dumbass, who appointed him then?
Do you even think before you speak or do you think nobody's paying attention or nobody cares?
It's disgusting.
And honestly, this Trump cult, I'm not afraid to say it because I'm independent, as you know.
This has maybe become the single biggest threat to America.
It's hard even to say which is worse, the left or the Trump cult.
The left is cult-like, and they are evil.
They are in favor of abortion and they are in favor of gender reassignment and they are immune to reason.
But increasingly, the Trump administration resembles it.
It mirrors it in the same way that we used to critique the left for being NPCs, for being brainwashed by television, for not listening to reason, not being able to critique their own side, point out obvious lies or hypocrisy.
They were able to support evil and wickedness because of ideology.
It's a mirror image now on the right.
Trump is the biggest hypocrite, the biggest liar.
No one will critique him.
They are all being brainwashed by Fox News, including Trump himself.
These are all NPC robots that just watch Fox News every day, just watch propaganda every day from foreign influence operatives.
That's who owns it.
Those are the presenters.
That's what it is.
They will not hear any critique.
They will not critique their own side.
They will not look at the obvious contradictions, dishonesty, hypocrisy.
And they support all of this moral wrongness.
They support all of this wickedness.
The genocide in Gaza, a war of choice against Iran, the slaughter of 160 girls at a school in Tehran, which Trump lied about.
It's become identical to the left.
And I'm over here as someone very far right that was once a Trump supporter because of the ideas and principles and policies that is now saying, I don't even recognize this anymore.
Honestly, if you still support Trump, you're only insulting yourself.
It has really just become a mark of intelligence.
It's a filter.
If you're still on board with this, you're just not that smart.
If you're still making excuses for this, you just have no character.
It's that simple.
I don't know how you could support somebody that just ritualistically humiliates you and insults your intelligence every single day like that, telling you things like this that just obviously don't even make sense.
Anyway, in the letter, Kent said he supported the foreign policy that Trump campaigned on in the last three presidential cycles, but that the president has veered away from his goals of avoiding never-ending wars.
He blamed unnamed high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media for deploying a misinformation campaign that undermined Trump's America First policies.
Now, this is also part of the problem.
So Joe Kent, and we'll read through his letter in a moment, but this is just a preview here.
So obviously Trump has betrayed the America First base.
He's betrayed America First as a movement.
But who does Joe Kent blame for this treachery?
He says, well, it's everybody else.
Trump campaigned on America First three times.
He deceived the voters into thinking they would get it three times.
And three times he's betrayed them.
And Trump is delivering now, not only it's not America First, it's the opposite.
It's America last.
And Joe Kent does not blame Trump for the treachery.
He said the words, he's the chair of the party.
He's at the top of the ticket.
He's the president.
He's the head of the transition.
He appoints all the personnel, and yet it's not his fault.
Whose fault is it?
Influencers, advisors, members of the government, Israeli.
It's everybody else.
Really?
Why can no one hold the president accountable?
Why can nobody say it's him?
Joe Kent, he's going to get thrown out of the bus and eaten alive by MAGA anyway.
He resigned his post.
He's going to be treated as radioactive anyway.
They're going to mock him and humiliate him and disparage him.
So why are we still trying to salvage by saying, oh, it's not really Trump's fault?
Of course it's Trump's fault.
This is his letter.
I'm going to read it in full.
This is from his Twitter account, Joe Kent.
It says, quote, after much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot, in good conscience, support the ongoing war in Iran.
Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, and 2024, which you enacted in your first term.
Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.
In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars.
You demonstrated this by killing Qasem Suleimani and by defeating ISIS.
Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.
This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States and that you should strike now and that there was a clear path to a swift victory.
This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost us our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.
We cannot make this mistake again.
As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a gold star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation to fight and die in a war that served no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.
I pray you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, who we are doing it for.
The time for bold action is now.
You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos.
You hold the cards.
It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.
So this is a statement.
And let's just say at the outset, this is a great statement.
This is a very good and positive development.
Finally, someone in the administration is dissenting publicly and even better has resigned in protest and has written this letter.
And Joe Kent hit the nail on the head.
It's all true.
It's all true.
Trump campaigned on America First three times and we're not getting it in 2025.
And he's right that the Israelis and the Israel lobby in America have hyped up a war with Iran and they have deceived the public and they are subverting even the government inside the Trump administration.
And that going to war in Iran, it resembles the mistake of going to war in Iraq.
And by asking the question, who is really responsible for this and what is really the goal, these are the right questions.
And this hopefully will get people thinking.
And it means a lot coming from inside the Trump government.
There's obviously a lot of liberals and Democrats who are opponents of the Republican Party and the Trump government, but this means a lot more coming from somebody on the inside.
With that being said, there are some problems with the letter.
So Joe Kent says that Trump was America first in his first term.
But is that really true?
Kent says that killing Qasim Suleimani was America first.
How exactly was that America first?
Joe Kent is either lying or he's ignorant.
As we have pointed out consistently on the show, the killing of Qasim Suleimani led directly to the war in Iran that we are in right now.
It was Suleimani and the Kuds force and the IRGC which built up Hezbollah's capabilities.
The Popular Mobilization Front in Iraq, the Houthi rebel movement, Ansar Allah in Yemen, even aiding Hamas in Gaza.
This was Qasim Suleimani.
And for those that don't know, Qasim Suleimani was one of the highest ranking officials in the Iranian government, and he was one of the most respected members of Iranian society.
By killing Qasem Suleimani, this was the first blow in what eventually became Israel's rolling war against Iran and its proxies since October the 7th.
How can you not see that?
Suleimani built up that Islamic crescent of Iranian influence among Shiite militias and proxy groups across Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, Eastern Med.
That was Suleimani.
Killing him did two things.
One, it weakened the IRGC.
It paved the way for this U.S.-backed Israeli war on all fronts, on all eight fronts against Iran and its proxies.
And two, and maybe this is the biggest problem, it engendered antipathy and animosity between Washington and Tehran.
There was only two ways out of the crisis with Iran, which is their nascent nuclear hedging, their nuclear program.
You either one, blow it up, or two, you get them to agree to give it up.
Those are the only two ways this could have gone.
Now, you either have a deal where Iran is going to hand over their highly enriched uranium and they're going to give up their centrifuges or they're going to have enough confidence that they won't pursue a nuclear program, or we have to go to war.
Now, if you kill one of the highest-ranking members of their government when he's at an airport in Iraq, if you effectively murder him, we're not at war with Iran.
We're not at war with the IRGC.
We didn't declare a war.
And it's not like he was killed in the battlefield.
He was assassinated by an airstrike.
We dropped a bomb on him.
We murdered him because the IRGC helped some of the militias in Iraq that were fighting American soldiers.
It's all very convoluted.
We were there on Iran's border.
It's not like they killed people over here.
And so by killing Qasim Suleimani, do you make diplomacy more or less likely to succeed?
Obviously, less likely.
Is Trump able to make a deal with the Ayatollah after he has stained his hands with the blood of Suleimani?
Maybe that became impossible the moment that happened.
And what's more, that wasn't the only factor.
This was part of a raft of anti-Iran, pro-Israel policies in the first Trump administration, ripping apart the JCPOA.
It's one of the first things he did.
In 2018, Trump pulled us out of the Iranian nuclear deal.
Then he pressured the Europeans to leave.
Then he designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group.
Then he assassinated its leader.
Then after he lost the election in 2020, according to the official results, then he ordered a strike on Iran.
And when Biden got into office, Israel picked up where Trump left off and launched industrial sabotage attacks, cyber attacks.
They assassinated Iran's scientists.
And all Trump did in 2025 is pick up where he left off, bombing the Houthis, furnishing Israel with 2,000 pound bombs, and then carrying out Midnight Hammer after the Israelis launched their preemptive war against Iran.
So Joe says, well, Trump was good.
Now he's not.
It needs to be more like the first administration.
You say, wait a second, that doesn't make any sense.
I'm calling bullshit on that.
What do you mean the first administration was America first?
Well, he says what he means.
He says, when we killed Suleimani, I say, I don't know what you're talking about.
Killing Suleimani was America first.
How do you not see the connection between then and now?
Who do you think encouraged us to do it?
The same people cheering for the war now.
They're the same people that were cheering for brinksmanship against Iran in 2020 when that happened.
And we were on the brink of war with Iran when they were attacking chemical tankers allegedly, and we were shooting down their drones and they were attacking our military assets in the summer of 2020.
It was basically the same story, and it was the exact same people cheering it on.
So that's very strange to me.
I don't like that he said it was America first to kill Suleimani, and now it isn't.
Also, there's this conceit, I think, among people like Tucker and Joe Kent.
They will never criticize the president.
Even though the president routinely attacks these people and they lose favor in the court of MAGA and they get kicked out and they get thrown under the bus and trashed on Twitter and so on.
Tucker will never say it's Trump.
He always says, oh, I'm always going to love Trump and he can say whatever he wants about me, but I'll always support him.
And same thing with Joe Kent.
You see the same strain there.
You see the same through line where Joe Kent says, who is to blame for this?
Well, the Israelis tricked him.
The Israelis tricked him.
U.S. advisors tricked Trump into thinking that Iran was an imminent threat.
So Trump is an idiot.
Trump has no wherewithal.
Then why did we vote for him?
Joe Kent was supposed to be in the National Security Council in the first term, and then that never panned out.
So they brought him into this rinky-ding position in 2025 where he could do nothing.
You campaigned for Trump all these times knowing that Trump is just being tricked, has no guile here.
He's got no wherewithal.
That's not true.
Trump is responsible for it also.
But this is part of this.
I don't know if this is a strategy where maybe Tucker and Joe Kent think that they're more persuasive if they don't throw Trump under the bus, if they don't attack him directly.
Maybe they think they're going to have more appeal to Trump's voters if they don't go in on Trump.
I don't even think that makes sense, even if that's a strategy.
Do you think that any fewer people are going to hate Joe Kent or Tucker?
Any less people are going to hate them if they don't directly attack Trump than if they indirectly attack Trump?
It doesn't matter.
Trump says that Tucker has gone crazy.
Trump says that Joe Kent was always terrible.
And you know what?
All of his supporters are going to go with that.
They're all going to go along with that anyway.
So I don't know what exactly we think we're doing, what we think we're salvaging by saying, oh, well, you know, we still like poor little Trump.
He's just being tricked at every turn.
He's just being suckered into it.
I don't know what exactly we're trying to salvage there.
Whatever it is is not working.
So I'm inherently distrusting of this.
And something weird is going on because there's something else too.
People have gone through Joe Kent's recent tweets and they have found that right up until 2024, Joe Kent was very pro-Israel.
As a matter of fact, he ran for the U.S. Congress twice.
Same district in Washington state in 2022 and 2024.
And in both elections, he was attacking his Democratic opponent because the Democratic opponent wasn't sufficiently pro-Israel.
He said, my opponent won't vote for more foreign aid to Israel.
He said, Trump did the right thing and the Democrats did not give Israel what they needed after October 7th.
He even said, and this is the best one, this is in January 2020.
He said, I personally think we should have crushed Iran's ballistic and nuclear capabilities.
But Trump has a plan.
He has definitely earned the confidence of any clear-eyed observer.
So you say, what is going on here with Joe Kent?
Because in 2020, in 2022, in 2024, he thought it was a great idea to bomb Iran.
He still thinks it was a good idea to kill Suleimani.
2020, 2022, 2024, he's saying as a candidate for office, he's saying, I support Israel, Israel's our closest ally.
My opponent won't support Israel.
Iran is responsible for October 7th.
We should have bombed their missiles and nukes.
I trust Trump.
I have confidence in him consistently for the past six years.
Now all of a sudden, in March of 2026, he's been quiet this whole time.
He's had nothing to say for the past year and a half.
Now all of a sudden he says, well, I have a big problem with all this.
And killing Soleimani was America first, but this isn't.
And now I believe it's the Israel lobby that's responsible.
And you know who I mentioned earlier?
You know who else is outspoken inside the Trump administration?
Maybe the only person?
David Sachs.
Google it.
David Sachs, the Jewish PayPal Mafia AI czar in the White House, he came out this weekend and said the war in Iran needs to end.
Now, what did David Sachs and Joe Kent have in common?
Well, they're both very good friends of JD Vance.
And now that Joe Kent has resigned, they say that he's going to do an interview with Tucker Carlson.
Tucker is going to bring on Joe Kent for an interview, a tell-all interview.
And then Joe Kent is going to go to the Catholic convention in Washington, D.C., where apparently he'll be interviewed by Candace Owens.
Now, what do Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent, and David Sachs all have in common?
Well, they're all huge supporters and close personal friends of JD Vance.
Huge friends.
It was David Sachs who got Donald Trump on the all-in podcast after JD Vance got a fundraiser together of all of David Sachs' friends, all of Peter Thiel's friends, at David Sachs' house in San Francisco in June of 2024.
And it was that fundraiser which convinced Trump of JD Vance's usefulness, which is why Trump made Vance the vice president.
It was also on the recommendation of Tucker Carlson that Trump made that decision.
So think about this.
In June of 2024, JD Vance hosts a fundraiser for Trump at David Sachs' house, where all the Silicon Valley money goes pouring into Trump's campaign.
And Vance is the connector between Trump and all of the billions of dollars in Silicon Valley.
And who is the connector on the Silicon Valley side?
Well, it's Vance's close friend, David Sachs.
Sachs, who's tight with Elon Musk.
Sachs, who is tight with Peter Thiel.
You might remember that when Ron DeSantis announced his candidacy for president in May of 2023, he did it on a Twitter space with Elon Musk and David Sachs.
So Trump saw that fundraiser in June of 24 and said, JD Vance can bring in a lot of big tech money.
He can bring in a lot of little tech money.
He can bring in Elon Musk.
He can bring in Andreessen Horowitz.
He can bring in all these people, Jacob Hellberg and maybe Sean McGuire.
Who knows?
The other guy, ChatGPT, he can bring all these people in.
And that's a lot of money.
You're going to need Silicon Valley to tip the scales.
Then Trump gets shot at Butler in July.
And you know who gives him a call and encourages him to pick Vance as the vice president?
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson.
And Tucker specifically says to Trump after he gets shot in the head, once again, Google this.
There's a New York Times article about it.
Tucker says to Trump, you need to appoint Vance because that's assassination insurance.
Tucker says the neocons will kill you if you pick a neocon vice president because then that person will take your place and they'll do their bidding.
So Tucker said, you need to pick Vance because the neocons are afraid of him, so they won't kill you.
That's why you should pick him.
Trump picks Vance.
Vance goes to the RNC.
And at the RNC, Vance says, we need to bomb Iran really hard.
The same RNC that Tucker also spoke at.
Joe Ken is running for Congress this time.
Tucker has him on his show on Fox News regularly, at least the first time in 2022.
Joe Ken is a huge ally of Tucker.
He's also a CIA officer.
He's also been in the CIA for decades, like Tucker's father.
Joe Kent loses the election.
Then he becomes the director of counterterrorism center in the Trump government.
Now that the war with Iran is happening, what have you noticed about JD Vance?
Well, he disappeared from the public eye.
Where is JD Vance?
You don't see him anymore.
He's the most extremely online vice president.
JD, JD, he's at turning point.
He's at the Charlie Kirk funeral.
He's everywhere popping up that fat, ugly face to talk about, you know, whatever nonsense he has to say today.
But ever since the war in Iran started, we don't see him too much.
He's making a calculated disappearance.
Why?
He knows this is a disaster.
He knows how bad it is.
And as the vice president, he knows that he shares the blame.
And he shares the blame in 2028.
Not if, but when the Iran war becomes a big liability in the 2027 and 2028 primary and then election, he wants to be as far away from this as possible.
Because if anybody runs against him as a challenger, well, they're going to be able to point out that he was the vice president and oversaw the catastrophic reentry into the endless wars in the Middle East.
He wants nothing to do with it.
That being said, he also can't alienate the president because in 2027, 2028, he's going to want to distance himself from the legacy of the war in Iran, but he's also going to need Trump's endorsement.
He's also going to need Trump's support.
He can't actually, he's not able to hurt that relationship with the president.
Not if he wants to stay on as vice president.
Not if he wants that endorsement in 28.
He's not capable of doing this.
It's just not in the cards for him.
And if Vance somehow upsets the president, he knows that Trump is so vindictive that Trump is going to annihilate him and his chances of being the nominee for the Republicans in 28.
And at the same time, that all of these considerations are in play.
If you've been watching on Polymarket, his odds of becoming president have precipitously been falling.
So this is provable.
It's not a theory.
It's not speculative.
It's provable that the longer this war goes on and the more catastrophic it is, it's killing Vance's political career.
His odds of becoming the nominee, and even if he gets the nomination, becoming the president, they're falling off a cliff.
It's bad.
And he is in an impossible situation.
He can't turn on the president because then the president is vindictive, doesn't endorse him, and endorses an opponent.
He's dead in the water.
But if he embraces the president too closely, then Vance owns the war, becomes a major liability, and then some insurgent candidate runs in 27.
Trumpism is a toxic brand, and Vance is denied that way, or at least it's super competitive.
It's not one of those sure bets that Peter Thiel loves so much and whom Tucker talks to every day, by the way.
I heard this recently.
Do you know, by the way, that Tucker consults Peter Thiel with every major life decision he makes?
Someone should ask Tucker about that.
The next podcast that he's on, somebody should ask Tucker, what is your relationship with Peter Thiel?
Because according to my sources, Tucker consults Peter Thiel on every major life decision.
They're far closer than he lets on.
They're far better of friends than he will ever tell anybody in public.
And as you know, JD Vance is Peter Thiel's boy.
And Peter Thiel loves a sure bet.
If you know anything about Peter Thiel, he likes monopolies.
He likes a sure thing.
He doesn't like competition.
So, JD Vance, it's looking a little too competitive in 2028.
So now you start to see this little group.
You start to see David Sachs, the connector, David Sachs, Vance's future guy.
Okay, they're very close.
If JD Vance becomes president, what role is David Sachs going to have?
A big one.
A big one.
So David Sachs says, I don't know about the war.
What role will Joe Kent have in a future Vance administration?
What do you think?
You think Joe Kent will have a role in Vance's administration?
So Joe Kent steps out and says, Well, I don't want to insult the president.
And he was America first, but he isn't anymore.
And now Tucker's going to interview him.
Something is going on here.
Something is clearly going on between all these people.
And it's obvious.
They are making a play.
They are making some kind of play.
They want to stop the war in Iran.
They don't want to implicate Vance.
They want to get Trump to slow it down and get him out of there.
Maybe give Vance some cover fire.
Maybe they could initiate it.
And Vance can come in as the wingman.
You know, Trump is in his office.
I don't know what to do.
They're leaving my administration.
Vance puts his hand on his shoulder.
Listen, boss, you know, we got to leave and finish the war.
They're planting all these stories now, saying that Vance was against the war.
Vance told Trump not to do it, pleaded with him, all this kind of stuff.
It's an op.
It's an op.
And I know you might think that I'm being picky.
I'm not.
I know you might think I'm being paranoid.
I'm not.
It's an op.
It's obviously an op because of who is involved.
And I would venture to guess that this little CIA referral against the DOJ, I would imagine this is like a counter operation.
There is a civil war in the White House about this, and it's a civil war between the camp of JD Vance, which needs him to become the president either before 28 or in 28.
And they need to rescue him from this catastrophe that Trump has created.
And they're throwing a little bit of shade at the Israelis because the Israelis are really hurting Vance here.
That's obvious.
And I think that really started after my interview with Tucker, to tell you the truth.
I did my interview with Tucker in late October.
And then at the Republican Jewish Coalition, Mark Levin goes there and says, we're watching to see who disavows who, and we're making our decisions for 28.
And the implication was we're going to watch and see if JD Vance fires Buckley Carlson, disavows Tucker, and if he doesn't, then we'll back somebody else.
And surely that is happening behind the scenes.
And that is why the Israelis are content to see Trump go down in flames and JD Vance with him, because then they will rescue Marco Rubio from the rubble and the fire, and he will be their guy or somebody else.
Or they don't even care.
You know, but that is what is going on.
And that is why Tucker has upped his game against the Israelis because they are damning Vance to hell after that interview.
And that's why they're coordinating this effort to save Vance.
And in order to do that, they've got to push back against the Israelis a little bit, but they can't piss Trump off too much.
That's obviously what is going on here.
And I don't trust any of these people.
I don't trust Vance.
I don't like Vance at all.
And I don't think he should be the guy.
And I don't like Tucker.
And I don't like Joe Kent.
And I don't like any of them.
I don't trust any of them.
I don't.
And I see what they're doing.
I don't know who the fuck Tucker is.
I don't know what the fuck he is.
He's not honest.
He's not an honest man.
And if he is something other than a guy that just likes us hunting and fishing, well, you know, he didn't tell me.
And that's all I have to go off of.
So I don't like it.
I don't like what I can't see.
I don't like what I can't trust.
And I can't read him.
I came there and I wore my heart on my sleeve.
And he, you know, it was a work.
I don't like it.
And I don't like that he's in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Russia and Serbia.
And I don't like that he's in Iran.
And I don't like that his dad is a lobbyist for Hungary or was.
I don't like that his dad was working for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
I don't like that Tucker is so close with Orban.
I don't like that Tucker says he has friends in the Israeli government.
I don't like any of that.
And I don't like that Joe Kent was in the CIA and lied about it.
I don't like that Vance is in bed with Peter Thiel.
Not a fan of this stuff.
And if these guys are really on my side, I don't know.
Maybe give me a call.
If these guys are really on my side, if these guys are really on the side of America first, hey, I want to be a part of the solution, but it's a little bit hard to be a part of the solution when all you people are so fucking dishonest and throw, in particular, me under the bus always.
Hard to get on board.
Because some people might say, well, hey, they're all working on the inside.
You're blowing their cover.
They're trying to do something and you're attacking them.
Hey, well, you know what?
That's news to me because I didn't get a fucking jersey.
All these people, they go, well, you got to trust Peter Thiel's plan.
You got to trust JD Vance's plan.
You got to trust Tucker's plan.
They're doing something.
They're doing an op.
And you're just that's what Tucker said.
You're just attacking all the good people.
Well, you know what, Tucker?
I don't remember signing a damn contract.
I don't remember signing an NDA.
I didn't get a jersey.
I didn't get a uniform.
So what the fuck do I owe you people?
I didn't get the talk.
I didn't get an explanation.
Nobody told me.
You know what happened?
Joe Kent called me an anti-Semite when he was running for Congress and said, I don't fit with inclusive populism because I talk too much about race and religion.
So he disavowed me.
That's what I got.
And then you, instead of reaching out to me, Tucker, Tucker goes with his buddy Max Blumenthal, son of Sidney Blumenthal, and writes a three-part hit piece about me calling me a fed and paying influencers to promote it to destroy my reputation.
That is what has happened.
And Tucker, and let's be honest, Tucker, Vance, and Kent, none of these people are pro-white.
None of these people are Israel critical or Jew critical.
They only became these things in like the past year.
And up until that point, they were gatekeepers.
They kept everybody out of the conversation.
They didn't want to talk about any of it.
Now they want to pay lip service to some of this stuff and they expect everybody to get on board and get behind it.
Oh, well, whatever you thought about him in the past, now it's okay.
I saw Martyrmaid say that today.
And I like Martyrmaid.
I really like Daryl Cooper.
I really do.
I didn't like him at first.
Then I talked to him and I realized he's a good guy.
That being said, we disagree strongly about Vance and a number of other things, but I do think he's a good guy.
And so today I posted this.
I said, you know, it's very interesting.
I said, well, well, well, years ago, Joe Kent called me an anti-Semite and said he disagrees with me about our ally Israel.
Now he says the Israelis are dragging us into Iran like they did in Iraq.
So you threw me under the bus saying our closest ally Israel, apparently knowing that Israel dragged us into Iraq back then.
Now you say, oh, they're doing it again in Iran.
So were you lying back then?
So I say on Twitter, what's with this epiphany?
Years ago, it was our greatest ally Israel.
My opponents against Israel.
I don't like Nick Fuentes, especially his views on Israel.
Now he's come to the realization that Israel dragged us into Iraq.
And now they're dragging us into Iran.
And I say, well, that's interesting.
What happened there?
And Daryl Cooper says, well, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what he said in the past because now he's saying the right thing.
And that's all that matters.
Yeah, not so fast, actually.
What is going on?
Not so fast.
I don't trust that.
I don't know who these people are.
He said on one of the shows, well, you knew I was CIA.
No, we didn't.
You didn't tell anybody that.
You lied about it because you're an agent.
So I don't like it.
I don't like any of this.
And mark my words.
There is more to this story.
Okay.
I am glad in some sense.
Like, obviously, the war in Iran is a disaster.
I want it to end.
I want there to be public consciousness about the fact that Israel is doing it.
If a member of the Trump government defects and says, you're not America first, you're bringing us to war in Iran.
Israel's bringing us into the war.
You know, that's good for the public consciousness.
Obviously, that's a good message.
But this is part of a play.
You got to understand.
People so overvalue words that people say.
Words don't matter.
What matters are allegiances, associations, clicks.
That's what matters.
So people say, well, Joe Kent had a good letter.
How could you argue it's not based?
Well, first of all, There's some problems with it that are eyebrow raising.
And second of all, the letter is a desperate play on behalf of Vance.
And I don't, I don't like Vance.
So if the letter is supposed to remedy a problem for JD Vance's presidential campaign, I don't know that I love that, actually.
If Vance couldn't prevent the war in Iran, then he shouldn't be president.
If Vance doesn't have the fucking balls to oppose it now, then he shouldn't be president.
What good is Vance in 28 if this is what we get in 26?
Think about it.
We're a year and a half in.
No mass deportations, not a peep from Vance.
War with Iran, not a peep from Vance.
He's a coward, or he's ineffective, or he's both.
Or he's going to do the same stuff if, or God forbid, when he becomes the president.
So people are treating this war like it's a problem to be solved, like it's an inconvenience for JD Vance's aspirations to be president.
And I don't know that I'm on board with this play.
I say burn it all down.
I say Rubio, Stephen Miller, Vance, fuck them all, and Trump.
And I hope they fail.
Joe Ken is right.
This isn't America first.
But here's where he's wrong.
It was never America first.
It wasn't America first when we killed Suleimani.
And it's not America first now.
And it's not the Israelis' fault.
It's Trump's fault because he's the president.
You blame Israeli intelligence for tricking him.
President of the United States, by the way, doesn't he run American intelligence?
There's no excuse.
It's Trump's fault.
So I didn't like that.
And I don't like that this clearly stinks like a play that was conceived of in the vice president's office so that he could salvage his chances in 2028 because that is what he is concerned about, obviously.
So that's my two cents.
That's my little insight on Joe Kent.
That really is a sticking point, isn't it?
Years ago, many years ago, four years ago, in 2022, we invited Joe Kent to our conference, AFPAC 3.
He declined.
And then he goes on Twitter and says, I want everyone to know that I decline Nick Fuentes' invitation.
I disagree with his views on Israel.
And his focus on race and religion subtracts from our message of inclusive populism.
Inclusive populism.
It's like when Tucker used to say, colorblind meritocracy.
Now he says, no blood guilt.
Nick looked at me like I was crazy when I said no blood guilt.
Yeah, because it has nothing to do with fucking anything.
I'm telling you that Israel is Jewish, neocons are Jewish, and you're giving me this tanned speech about blood guilt.
That's why I'm looking at you like you're crazy because it has nothing to do with what I'm saying.
Not because I'm a racist.
He says, well, I just tried to tell, I just tried to tell Fuentes that blood guilt is wrong.
I know that.
I'm Catholic.
I'm trying to tell you, because you're either a liar or you're playing dumb or you're ignorant, that Israel obviously has something to do with Judaism.
So anyway, this unfolding situation, it's very convoluted.
It gets stranger all the time.
And we need to get smart about this.
We got to be smart, okay?
Don't be a dummy.
Dummies find the exit.
If you're looking for a polemical show where it's all rhetoric and it's all very simple talking points memos, we're against a woe and a win when Trump did the one.
It's like we have to understand the underlying dynamics here.
We have to understand the underlying dynamics of government decision making.
Things are not always as they seem.
The war is unpopular.
You know it's unpopular.
It's destroying the Republican Party.
Look at the chances of the Democrats winning the Senate.
Look at how they flipped after the war in Iran started.
Now the Democrats are favored to win the Senate and the House.
Look at JD Vance's chances of winning the presidency, how they've precipitously falled since the war in Iran began.
You think they don't notice that?
It's been their plan for 15 years to get Vance in the White House.
You don't think they notice that?
You don't think they're making moves?
They're not like you.
Vance can't go on Twitter and say, I don't like the war in Iran.
The Jews did it.
They're more sophisticated than that.
So they're working behind the scenes with their people, David Sachs and Joe Kent.
It's a nothing.
Joe Ken had a nothing position, but they're using what they got.
Tucker's platform, Sachs's connector, Kent and counterterrorism to try to push back on this, allowing Vance to save face with Trump to head off this crisis in 27.
But why should we let them?
Why should we let them do it?
If Joe Kent and Vance and if all the King's men can't stop it, who delivered Trump?
Well, I'm not, I'm not, you know, you tell me to do something, I'm going to do what you tell me to do.
But I mean, the guy is an apostate.
And it's very sad what happened to him.
It allowed, he allowed hatred to consume him.
And now he's turned his back on God.
And I think that whatever you believe about the Jews, Jesus Christ is the truth.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.
If you're not touched by the gospel, it's because your heart has been hardened.
It is the truth.
The Trinity is the truth.
And anybody that would harden their heart because of anti-Semitism, their hatred of the Jews against Christ, I mean, that is someone that has lost the plot.
They've been consumed by pride, wrath, something like that.
And the proof is in the fruits.
So it's sad.
And it happens to a lot of people.
A lot of people get so wrapped up in it, they turn their back on Jesus Christ.
Maybe I would say you've got like founding of the show until Groyper War, and then maybe Groyper War to J6th, and then maybe J6th until yay, yay until the generational run.
And now we're in the era of the generational run or post-generational run.
Something like that.
Those are probably the big inflection points.
The big inflection points were Groyper War, January 6th, Yay 24, and the generational run.
The inbred Satan worshiping pedophile super chat that you said sounded like someone who was red told by Greels was a direct copy and paste from a reel with 6 million views.
You have become, I hate to say this because I like Sneeko a lot, but you are a serial Kohler.
And I just have to say something.
Every day, my timeline, today he posts, I have tech teams in Mecca.
It's like, what are we doing?
Let's do a little sampling, okay?
Let's give a little say, and I love him.
This is not licensed, no rape, Sneeko, nothing like that.
But let's give a little sampling here, a little Whitman sampler of some of the greatest hits we got.
I got tech teams in Mecca.
That was three hours ago.
Here's another one.
The Manosphere is built on the idea that women are useless while solely relying on them to operate.
Pimping women on OnlyFans, debate show panels with all women, selling courses on picking women up.
Nothing more soulless than building an empire on something you hate.
Yeah, that's the problem with the manosphere.
too misogynistic and exploitative of women.
Now that Trump is cognitively declining quicker than Biden and Iran is actually winning this war, we can all admit golf as a sport is stupid and anyone plays golf is insufferable.
I hate golf.
Benny posts a picture of the cube and says perfection.
So let's see what else we got.
Prayer is only performative to you because they turned it into a performance.
Erica Kirk twerking fireworks in megachurch is not worship.
It's propaganda.
To us, prayer is as normal as breathing.
Another drive-by shot at Christians.
Another drive-by.
It can never just be like, I'm not performative.
It's always, I'm not performative.
You know who is?
Christians.
That's why it's like, why always that?
It's like you're doing a live stream praying.
People go, that's performative.
I'm not performative.
No, that's not good enough.
I'm not performative.
You know who is?
Christians.
What about Christians?
okay, really?
They don't hate Islam.
They are just jealous.
I can assure you, we definitely just don't like that.
I promise you.
I promise you, we're not jealous.
Once again, it's always like Christians are jealous of us.
So if anything, if anything, that makes him less gay because, you know, he sort of tried it out and then realized it wasn't for him, which is actually less gay than maybe a person that never does that.
What's your rebuttal to claims that the U.S. must regime change Iran to control the strait, cut China's oil access, reinforce the petro dollar, and better pivot to counter China's rise in East Asia?
Well, he said that it's like an antichrist system.
He creates this dialectic between the apocalypse and the antichrist.
And he sees the apocalypse as accelerating technology and progress to the end of the world, like a nuclear war, AI extinction.
And Antichrist, in his mind, is an overly regulated global government where regulations crush society, slow down technological progress.
And then this like AI system is inhaled.
At least at one point, this was the idea.
Now I think he believes it will be a person.
But for a time, he said it'll be like a system and it'll be like an AI UN global government control matrix that basically arrests all development and history and progress.
And so that's why he believes in this like rapid advances, you know, effective accelerationism.
It's biohacking.
It's AI.
It's the world of atoms.
The world of Adams, not the world of bits.
I like to say that we stopped innovating the world of Adams.
And it's all been of the world of bits.
Think Uber, Airbnb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've heard it all before.
Got it.
So that's why it's all about, you know, well, nuclear, we don't have nuclear energy because in a way, we're afraid of nuclear war.
So that, that's his whole thing is Antichrist versus apocalypse.
