1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Is Joe Kent this week's voice of reason. Is he

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: the guy speaking truth in the fog of war?

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: But there was no intelligence that said, hey, on whatever

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: day it was March first, the Iranians are going to

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: launch this big sneak attack. They're going to do some

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 2: kind of a nine eleven Pearl Harbor, etc. They're going

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: to attack one of our bases. There was none of

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: that intelligence.

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: So he's going to sit down Attacker Carlson on his podcast,

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: It's worth a listen.

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: The Israelis drove the decision to take this action, which

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: we knew would set off a series of events meaning

13
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: the Iranians would retaliate.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: Now he's a mega guy. He was a Trump guy,

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: but this week he turned his back on the President.

16
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: He quit his job as America's top counter tourism terrorism official.

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I should say he was a soldier. He served in Iraq.

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: His wife was killed in a suicide bombing in Syria.

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: He's no snowflake. He just doesn't want the US getting

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: bogged down and wars that he thinks they can't win.

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: It's one thing to bomb the hell out of a country,

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: but when the dust settles and the troops go home,

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: and the victory banners have been unfurled. Then what in

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: Iraq a power vacuum? An isis so in calling this

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: out in quitting, Is Joe Kent a hero or a

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: traitor to America? The FBI is now investigating him. That's

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: not unusual. Look at Jerome Powell, the spending on the

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: building of the FED chair, John Bolton, right down to

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, remember that investigated by the US TV regulator

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: for criticizing Trump. Only time will tell whether there was

31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: a pressing need for starting this war that we're all

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: paying for now. But history tells us it won't end

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: just because the US President says so.

34
