Special Reports & Tweets - 🚨🚨🚨Joe Kent,The Director of The National Counter Terrorism Center, has resigned in protest of Israel taking control of U.S. foreign policy and launching the mother of all miscalculations, the new IRAN WAR!!🚨🚨🚨 https://t.co/xQEbRjhpOM Aired: 2026-03-17 Duration: 07:36 === Joseph Kent Resignation Letter (05:24) === [00:00:00] Joseph Kent, the director of national intelligence at the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned today. [00:00:09] And his letter is so powerful. [00:00:11] I'm going to read the whole thing here on air right now. [00:00:15] And he's saying everything I've said, everything that Tucker Carlson has said, he was deployed 11 times to combat zones. [00:00:23] He lost his life to this system. [00:00:28] And he's there looking at all the national intelligence that Tulsi Gabbard is seeing as well and knows it's a lie. [00:00:33] They sent him a report one week before he struck 18, 19 days ago with Israel and said, this isn't true. [00:00:42] What they're saying about Iran isn't true. [00:00:45] This isn't in our national interest. [00:00:49] This is a lie. [00:00:50] And now we have Trump saying, if you don't support what I'm doing, an unending war, you're basically a Nazi. [00:00:56] He said, Mark Levin is my spirit animal. [00:01:00] It's a litmus test. [00:01:01] If you don't endorse this Israel firster, then you're not MAGA. [00:01:05] Well, guess what, Trump? [00:01:05] You're not MAGA anymore. [00:01:07] You're make Israel great again. [00:01:10] It's totally disgusting. [00:01:12] Now, I still support Trump overall control on the border, trying to end the war with Russia, all the other good things that are happening. [00:01:20] That said, he's better than the Democrats, but it doesn't matter. [00:01:23] We are still going to put pressure on Trump to not continue to step into this mother of all miscalculations and disasters as they're basically admitting it is. [00:01:32] We're not like the Democrats that just cultistly follow our supposed leader. [00:01:36] And regardless, we'll continue on with populism and the spirit of 1776 in America first. [00:01:40] Populism is winning elections all over the world. [00:01:43] Trump rode in on this wave. [00:01:45] He didn't create this wave. [00:01:46] I was promoting 1776 and anti-globalism 32 years ago, long before Trump figured it out in the last 10 years. [00:01:52] And we've influenced Trump massively. [00:01:54] That's why it's so painful to see this unfold. [00:01:57] So to me, this isn't a popularity contest between myself and Mark Levin or Ben Shapiro, who were never Trumpers. [00:02:03] And Lindsey Graham was never Trumper. [00:02:06] It's about Trump selling us out to neocon in Israeli interests, and it's so dangerous. [00:02:10] So here is the letter from the director of national intelligence, Joe Kent, National Counterterrorism Center today. [00:02:18] President Trump, after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center effective today. [00:02:25] I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. [00:02:29] Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. [00:02:31] It is clear that we started the war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby, which they've bragged about. [00:02:37] That when you say that, the ADL calls for your arrest and says we should use the same tactics with exploding pagers on Americans that don't support us. [00:02:46] We actually said that. [00:02:46] I played the clip yesterday. [00:02:48] I mean, this is freaking nuts. [00:02:49] I've never even tried to be an enemy with Israel. [00:02:51] They're just making everybody be an enemy because they're so out of control. [00:02:54] I'm certainly not with the Muslims either. [00:02:55] My God. [00:02:58] Wow. [00:02:59] I supported the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 24, which you enacted in your first term. [00:03:07] Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars of the Middle East were a trap that robbed Americans of precious lives and of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. [00:03:20] In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn to never-ending wars. [00:03:28] That's why I brought in Kent, who's an expert on that. [00:03:30] You demonstrated this by killing the head of ISIS. [00:03:35] Early in his administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign last year that wholly undermined your American first platform and sowed pre-war and pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. [00:03:53] 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, that you should strike. [00:04:04] There was a clear path to swift victory, but there wasn't. [00:04:07] This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war. [00:04:13] It cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women and cost trillions, I would add. [00:04:18] We cannot make this mistake again, which we're beginning to make in a big way. [00:04:21] Iran's even worse. [00:04:23] So depending on Sid, if you think Iraq and Afghanistan were bad, Iran's 10 times worse. [00:04:28] 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 serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives. [00:04:49] I pray that you will reflect upon this and what we are doing in Iran and that you will and who we are in this for. [00:04:59] The time for bold action is now. [00:05:01] You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation. [00:05:05] You can reverse course, chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. [00:05:11] You hold the cards. [00:05:13] It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation. [00:05:16] Joseph Kent, director of National Counterism Center. [00:05:20] I mean, it's just, this is so incredibly historic. [00:05:24] And it's true. === Chart A New Path (02:11) === [00:05:25] And now he'll be called a Nazi. [00:05:27] The talking points Trump has said come out of Mark Levin's mouth. [00:05:30] He writes them for Sean Hannity. [00:05:31] He is the voice of God. [00:05:33] And you are a Nazi. [00:05:35] You're pro-Hitler. [00:05:37] You're the devil. [00:05:38] Turn Carlson's been referred for criminal investigation for daring to report on Iran. [00:05:45] I had the whole deep state and CIA and FBI sue me. [00:05:48] That's been declassified. [00:05:50] And then when Ed Martin investigated it, the Democrat Party lawyer, Todd Blanche, killed it. [00:05:55] They just killed the AutoPen investigation. [00:05:57] They're killing everything. [00:05:58] The deep state is in control. [00:06:00] Trump has made a radical turn towards the globalists and towards Israel firsters. [00:06:05] And it's so sad and it's so dangerous and it's so sick. [00:06:08] So I kind of babbled through this because I'm reading my little tiny iPad over here, the text. [00:06:14] Be sure to read it for yourself. [00:06:15] We'll post it below. [00:06:16] Share this incredible information. [00:06:19] And we're going to try to get Joe Kent on the show. [00:06:21] But regardless, he's doing this to try to get Trump to change course. [00:06:24] He can't sit idly by while America goes in disaster with Trader Hormus closed, with all the war games showing this goes from bad to worse, creates inflation, kills our recovery, and does so much more. [00:06:35] So I don't side with the Moolahs, but I don't side with going and starting a fight with them for Israel and Israel bragging about how they've done this. [00:06:41] So we salute Joseph Kent. [00:06:43] We salute all the other great patriots that are standing up and telling the truth. [00:06:47] And to hear the Israel lobby talking about putting people in prison or killing American patriots here in America is just frightening. [00:06:53] We're in maximum danger of the Israel lobby staging major false flag attacks like they were heavily involved in in 9-11. [00:06:59] So we're in a maximum point of danger right now. [00:07:01] So everybody better keep your head on swivel. [00:07:03] I can't wait to hear what General Flynn, who's a big fan of Joe Kent, has to say about this because I'm talking briefly to Flynn. [00:07:08] He's been pretty much at this point for a while, but trying to get Trump back on course and gently nudging him. [00:07:13] But I don't think that's going to happen unless we really speak out. [00:07:16] God bless you all. [00:07:17] I want to thank you all for tuning in to this live broadcast today. [00:07:20] We're on 11 a.m., 3 p.m. Central at InfoWars.com forward slash show. [00:07:24] And of course, it were all Alex Shones on X. [00:07:26] And of course, the Alex Shon Show on Rumble. [00:07:28] Share those feeds. [00:07:29] You're the Paul Revere's. [00:07:30] It's a very important time for America where the left and right and populists come together and say no to these forever wars. [00:07:36] Thank you so much.
