00:00:30.000So a country based on lies, like a family based on lies, like an individual life based on lies, cannot succeed.
00:00:40.220In fact, it's hellish, as all of us have experienced in our lying.
00:00:45.500And so the only way out of this is to stop lying, is to tell the truth now, probably 63 years after we should have started telling the truth.
00:00:59.080but it's never too late to tell the truth now about everything because it's never as painful
00:01:05.820as you think it will be it's actually an act of liberation in fact it's the only real act
00:01:14.340of liberation telling the truth sets you free because the truth itself we're back up on j-tube
00:01:20.780for a little bit okay guys i'm not going to be on here much we'll be to spend a little bit of time
00:01:25.280on jtube just let you guys know that i'm live and we are going to go back to kick only very soon so
00:01:30.180enjoy while you can and just sets you free that is always because it's six o'clock and this is
00:01:36.680around the time i'm normally live at nighttime so and everywhere a fact and the longer you delay
00:01:42.580doing that the more horrible the consequences of your lives so let's hope that tonight with
00:01:50.960This conversation with Joe Kent is the beginning of the long overdue truth telling, which is the only thing that will save this country.
00:02:25.900This is sort of the perfect representation of the G-Watt generation.
00:02:32.060This is one of those guys we often celebrate but too rarely hear from who we sent out to fight the so-called war on terror that began on 9-11.
00:03:08.560He was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
00:03:11.220So he's thought a lot about terrorism in this country and the blowback from events like this, and we're going to ask him about that as well.
00:03:17.420But the other thing to notice about Joe Kent, and it may be his defining factor, is that he doesn't slander anyone.
00:03:23.780His resignation letter was not an attack on Donald Trump.
00:03:26.500It wasn't a promised way to tell all memoir about what he saw on the inside or to aggrandize himself or to get a job on a TV show or sell something.
00:03:36.540I asked him at dinner last night, what are your plans? None.
00:03:38.460he did this purely because he believes as he'll explain in a second this is the only way to save
00:03:46.260the united states from certain disaster tell the truth yep air the secrets be honest for once in
00:03:53.640decades about what is actually happening things that everybody who lives here suspects are
00:03:58.140happening in some cases we're probably wrong we've come to the wrong conclusions that's okay
00:04:02.420tell us what actually happened tell us why you did this and let's reorient this country where
00:04:09.540it should be which is around its own citizens make the decisions that you make based on one
00:04:17.300criterion is this good for my people or not in the way that a father would lead his family
00:04:21.020or an officer would lead his troops smash that like button for me guys we're on youtube you
00:04:26.820guys are getting exclusive here we're gonna watch the tucker and joe kentz interview
00:04:30.840which honestly you guys should join the tucker carlson network i should i support tucker i just
00:04:35.320bought a year of membership for his program which is what this is on it's paywalled but that's fine
00:04:40.360he's probably gonna drop it tomorrow or so so shout out to tucker you guys are watching it here
00:04:45.400so like the goddamn video especially on jtube country period and as you listen to him speak
00:04:52.140ask yourself is this a man who's working for hezbollah or is an egomaniac or a leaker or is
00:04:58.680Is this a man who says very little when he has nothing to say, who speaks straightforwardly and with honesty, self-evident honesty?
00:11:06.180I've heard people say that, and this just happened,
00:11:08.840but history has a way of getting rewritten in real time,
00:11:11.320And then you look back 10 or 15, 20, 25 years later, and no one seems to understand the things that you saw because they've been eliminated.
00:11:20.740So I think it's important to just stop and say, here's what we actually know.
00:11:24.700So I'd like now, if we could, just to play one of the statements that you alluded to, and that's from Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.
00:11:30.500And this was shortly after this war commenced.
00:11:33.060And he was explaining, as has happened in a thoughtful, precise way, why.
00:11:38.700Here's Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
00:11:40.520And so the president made the very wise decision. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli
00:11:45.380action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that
00:11:50.140if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer
00:11:54.220higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed. And then we would all be here answering
00:11:58.780questions about why we knew that indeed. Okay, so that is his almost contemporaneous explanation.
00:12:06.280And it's not offhand. He reasons it out. He explains there's a logic chain there. And he says, we knew not that Iran was going to attack. He did not say that. He said, we knew that Israel was going to attack Iran. And in retaliation for those attacks by Israel against Iran, Iran might attack American forces. So the imminent threat that the Secretary of State is describing is not from Iran. It's from Israel.
00:12:31.160Exactly. And I think this speaks to the broader issue. Who is in charge of our policy in the Middle East? Who is in charge of when we decide to go to war or not?
00:12:39.280In this case, with what the secretary described and later on the president, later on the Speaker of the House and the way the events played out, the Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate.
00:12:56.400Now, I think there's a potential there where we could have done several different things.
00:12:59.520We could have simply said to the Israelis, no, you will not.
00:13:02.380And if you do, then we will take something away from you.
00:13:06.040I think that it's fine that we offer defense to Israel.
00:13:10.260But when we're providing the means for their defense, we get to dictate the terms of when they go on the offensive.
00:13:17.000Otherwise, they stand to lose that relationship.
00:13:19.920And the Israelis felt emboldened that no matter what they did, no matter what situation they put us in, that they can.
00:13:29.060Go ahead and take this action. And we would just have to react. And so that speaks to that
00:13:34.360relationship. But also, it just shows that there was a lobby pushing for us to go to war. I know
00:13:39.240we'll get into that later on in the statement. But we had a real potential, I think, knowing what we
00:13:44.160know of the Iranians and how they react, and in particular, how they react to President Trump's
00:13:49.120leadership. The Iranians under President Trump's leadership, especially in his second term,
00:13:54.580They have shown that they take a very calculated approach to the escalation ladder.
00:13:59.500For instance, in the lead up to the 12-day war before Midnight Hammer, the Iranians didn't attack us.
00:14:05.680They were engaged in negotiations with us.
00:14:08.020When President Trump came back into office, they stopped their proxies who were attacking us under the Biden administration because they knew Biden was weak.
00:14:15.500They stopped their proxies from attacking us as well.
00:14:18.680So they knew President Trump was someone who wanted to negotiate.
00:14:21.720But more importantly, they knew that President Trump was not someone to mess with because he killed Qasem Soleimani.
00:14:27.540He killed Abu Mahdi Mohandas. He had defeated ISIS.
00:14:30.520They knew that President Trump was a man of action. He is militarily strong.
00:14:34.600And so they said, before we take an action, we need to make sure that it's calculated.
00:14:38.920So I think in this scenario, even if the Israelis told us we're going to strike on this date at this time and we didn't try to negotiate with the Israelis and say, hey, we'll take something away from them.
00:14:49.040I think we still could have back-channeled to the Iranians and said, hey, if something happens here in the next couple of days, it's not us.
00:14:55.080We're still serious about negotiations, and we don't want to escalate this because it's well-known what the Iranians' plans were.
00:15:02.440We knew that they were going to hit potentially our bases in the region, potentially our allies.
00:15:28.760This is your most high-profile resignation by far in a long time.
00:15:35.380And there's a lot of commentary on this.
00:15:37.680And I kind of took a quick trip through it this afternoon.
00:15:40.240And one of the consistent themes is, well, I mean, of course, there's a lot of slander, which we can talk about.
00:15:46.040But the substantive attack on you, and it is an attack or refutation of your letter, is that, well, actually, Joe Kent was totally for using military action.
00:15:55.680He supported the Soleimani killing, for example.
00:15:58.740He seemed fine with the 12-day war, for example.
00:16:02.340So he doesn't have a problem on principle with an engagement with Iran.
00:18:20.120That's a common lie that's been debunked a million times.
00:18:23.120Qasem Soleimani, who had American blood in his hands, took them off the battlefield.
00:18:26.320But then President Trump stopped. He took those two key players off the battlefield and he said, I'm not going to further escalate with Iran unless you escalate with us.
00:18:37.240Well, he also took them off the, he also put them on the foreign terrorist organization list, FTO list. He, you know, reimposed higher sanctions, killed Soleimani, you know, pulled out of the JCPOA. These were all very significant escalations, maybe not militarily, but economically, these were huge.
00:18:57.560knowing that if we struck iran and we truly struck the regime that would only strengthen the regime
00:19:03.640so then president trump did something that's incredibly smart use that decisive military
00:19:07.400action but then he coupled it with an economic package of sanctions maximum pressure so yeah
00:19:12.960that wasn't good that was escalation that's the problem sanctions we can debate whether or not
00:19:18.700we should be using sanctions as the prime reserve currency holder whatever but he pressured the
00:19:22.720iranians economically after punching them in the mouth and showing that hey i won't take this i'm
00:19:26.920not Obama. I'm not Bush. If you cross a line, I will come after you. But then he really put the
00:19:33.040pressure on them economically. And if you look at the effect of the economic sanctions, that's what
00:19:37.600got the Iranian people on the streets actually protesting against the Ayatollah's government,
00:19:44.000which is ostensibly what we would like. We would like to see a bottom-up regime change where we
00:19:48.800get rid of the Ayatollah, but it's the will of the people and they have a new successful government
00:19:53.160that's stable that we can deal with the one way to throw that all out the window and this isn't
00:19:58.400just joe kent's opinion many many many scholars and i think a lot of intelligence assessments
00:20:02.460have been written about this too i know for a fact they have uh is that if we struck the regime
00:20:07.220it would only strengthen it and that's not boom i told y'all and everyone's over here myron you
00:20:14.940you you you like iran no no i told you guys striking the ayatollah would be fucking retarded
00:30:32.120They have very high IQ. And the fact that they've been able to build some of the weapons that they've built while being sanctioned is actually very impressive. One of the most sanctioned countries in the world, number two most sanctioned country in the world, chat, behind Russia. At one time, they were probably number one prior to the Russia-Ukraine war.
00:30:52.680Right now, we're North Korea, but they've always been in the top two to three.
00:30:56.180the iranians are anything but stupid they had the ability i think that the the brain power to
00:31:01.280actually develop one or they could have simply traded a ton of oil with yeah um some idiot comes

00:34:55.520And you would know, since you were the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, why would he say that if there was no intelligence or evidence that they were actually developing a nuke?
