1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: The nation's top counter terrorism official resigned. Now this was

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: a Trump appointed guy. Joe Kent is resigning because he's

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: protesting the war in Iran. He posts on Twitter, quote,

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: after much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: as director of the National counter Terrorism Center.

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Effective immediately. He goes on to say, quote, I.

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.

8
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it's

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: clear that we started this war due to pressure from

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Israel and its powerful American lobby.

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: That old Israel Knard Okay, I got news from people.

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: The conflict with Iran in the United States predates any

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: current perceived Israeli pressure.

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of those on social media knowledge

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: that say we're fighting Iran's war. American soldiers are dying

16
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: for Iran's war. There are some popular influencers, Megan Kelly,

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, a lot of folks that feel like the

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: United States is fighting Iran's war.

19
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: NATO and the European allies and the countries they've refused

20
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: to join this conflict. Hammer So if Israel was the

21
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: sole driver, you'd expect maybe a broad alignment here, but

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 3: it hasn't happened, which indicates its US driven. I look,

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: I will say, this guy sees a lot more intelligence

24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: than you and I just a little bless me, a

25
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: little worried, right, But I think you know, we've clearly

26
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: stated strategic goals in Iran preventing the threats from Iran's

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: nuclear and missible programs, saying it for years. Trump administration

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 3: is not the only one that is said the sort

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: of thing. Every president that we since we were it's

30
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: since the eighties, it's the late seventies and eighties has

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: said the same thing.

32
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of the president, he spoke earlier today about

33
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: Joe Kent stepping down.

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: Well, I read his say and I always thought he

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: was a nice guy, but I always thought he was

36
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 4: weak on security, very weak on security. I didn't know

37
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: nice guy. But when I read a statement, I realized

39
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: that it's a good thing that he's out because he said.

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 2: That Iran was not a threat.

41
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 4: Iran was a thread in every country realized what a

42
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 4: threat Atran was.

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: So that was President Trump earlier today. Now take this

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: for what it is.

45
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Again, we like to try to present you all sides

46
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: of the story, so you guys can make up your

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: own mind.

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Here there's a guy named Taylor Budawitch.

49
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: He's the former deputy White House Chief of Staff and

50
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Cabinet secretary. He said that Kent was going to be

51
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: canned for being an habitual leaker to the press, longtime

52
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: known leaker to the press, and he jumped out in

53
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: front of this to resign, to make himself look like

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: the hero to the never Trump anti iWar, anti Iran war, crowd.

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 3: Leaking lion Joe.

56
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: So take that information for what you will. Trump didn't

57
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: seem all that bothered by it. But anytime you're in

58
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: the middle of a war and the guy right underneath

59
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: of Tulci Gabbert says, yeah, this sucks.

60
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: I disagree with this. They were no threat. I'm out.

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: That's kind of a bold statement, Nige.

62
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: This headline from CNN is why people hate politics. Now,

63
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that love it, like the

64
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: folks in the YouTube chat right now, they love this stuff.

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: We live in this bubble. We talk about this all

66
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: the time, love it.

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: But to the casual, you know, just every day Joe

68
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: sixpack headline is why they hate politics. It's not even

69
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: CNN's fault, but they've got the headline quote Democrats like

70
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen, but that doesn't mean they're going to

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: vote for him to be the DHS secretary. So this

72
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: was the guy that was Trump's choice to take over

73
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: for Christine nom Yes DH. And it seems like everybody

74
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: likes Mark Wayne Mullen. He's a he's got an edge

75
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: to him. He'll stand up and throw hands in a

76
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: hearing if push comes to shove. Even Democrats have worked

77
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: with this guy, and CNN admits, yeah, they like him,

78
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: but they're not.

79
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: Going to vote for him.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: Uh well, was that an opinion piece? I don't know

81
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: what I don't know what the context is, but you're

82
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: so right. That's why people hate politics or they like him,

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: but they're not going to.

84
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Vote for him.

85
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: I think they are going to vote for him. It's

86
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: not Christy Nome. They got Christy Nomatter there. That was

87
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: their wish and this hopefully will lead to the passage

88
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: of funding DHS so Democrats can actually save some face. Look,

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: we voted for this guy. We're gonna move long and

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: it's a Democrat shut down. These people aren't getting paid.

91
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: I'm counting on the Democrats to be reasonable hear here,

92
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: and I'm very naive and doing so.

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: I think the Republicans gave a little bit, you know.

94
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: They fired Christy Nome. Oh, I'm sorry. She was put

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: into another position right like. It always cracked me up

96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: when people were saying she was promoted. No, stop it,

97
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Stop lying to yourself. She was starring in two hundred

98
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: million dollar ad campaigns.

99
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: She looked great, the skinny jeans on the horse.

100
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm here for that, But I don't know if we

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: need two hundred million dollars worth.

102
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: I can go to various websites and see that
