I immediately put out a response to it and it's a conundrum. One I am not an expert on. Israel lobbyist from Israel, the deep state and its relationship with Israel. I don't even understand the whole conflict here. I never grew up and heard anybody be an anti Semite. I grew up in Florida and North Carolina. That just wasn't a thing. Like we we just never saw that and so I really don't get it. But I understand it's a singular significant problem. Like you, you're probably watching it on tv watching Tucker Carlson and you're going, oh, this is a serious issue. If you're Israel, you are surrounded by essentially the enemy and they want to kill you. It's part of their Islamic extremist rhetoric and ideology that is scaring the crap out of Israelis. It's always been that way, right? So if I take a step back and put on an Israeli yamaka and think about all the things that are going on, I go, yeah, for sure they have to defend themselves. They were attacked on October 7th. They defended themselves. But where does America fall into the coordination, support, treasure, assets, resources and even American blood? When does somebody else's problem just to finally become our problem? If you look at the policy that the administration has communicated about Ukraine, for example, Ukraine was invaded by Russia. We provide them with support. But there's a line that we drew in the sand and said, hey, we're not going to over commit here. We try to stop it. We were not successful in doing that. It's different with Iran. Let me, let me read the first part of this so you guys can get some context. If you haven't read this resignation letter from Joe Kent this morning. Joe Kent's letterhead is Director of National Intelligence and the National Counterterrorism center. Says President Trump. After much reflection, I've decided to resign from my position as the director effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war with 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. He goes on to communicate his love of country, his sacrifice as a Green Beret CIA paramilitary operations officer and his wife's sacrifice, giving her life for our country in Syria when she was killed by a vehicle borne IED by a terrorist. So I know a lot of people in this space. There's not one more qualified than Joe Kent to be the director of the National Counterterrorism center, but also to be a subject matter expert in this field. Now he's saying that Iran wasn't an imminent threat. If you ask the administration, were they an imminent threat, sure, there's talking points. Rubio, Hegseth, even President Trump himself has said the talking point, but not definitively. I think Rubio said, and I'm paraphrasing, if Israel was going to attack, which we knew they were, then we knew that Iran would retaliate and hit American targets. Is that an imminent threat? Imminent threat in my mind, like in the self defense scenario, is not the guy talking crap to you at a gas station saying he's going to kill you even right is him saying something like I'm going to do harm to you is not an imminent threat. The imminence happens when he goes for it, it's pointed at you. So imminent threat meaning they had the finger hovering the button for the nuke or there was just a prospect of it happening. Now to be fair, not a big fan of Iran. They're a terrorist country ridden with them. But there's also some good people. Most of those people, 30 to 42,000 were killed by the regime. So obviously a very difficult circumstance to be talking about a country and you're like yeah, but they weren't an imminent threat. But also they killed 30,000 of their own people. The question isn't whether or not they're bad or a threat, period. The question is were they an imminent threat to justifying American involvement in a never ending cycle of wars? Because that's what happens. We get involved, we get invested. And it starts as yeah, we're just going to be on the ground for a couple weeks, maybe even months and the next thing you know, because they're retaliating constantly, we are over invested. And then two decades later we're like what are we even doing? So the President says that we're going to be out of this war very soon, but are we? Are we going to be out of this war? It's a full scale campaign. Naval assets from the sky with our air force and for sure boots on the ground. I know it's not often advertised, but likely special operators in the military are military are operating on the ground. What capacity? I don't know, I'm not in that community anymore. But ground branch, maritime branch, air branch are certainly involved in clandestine and covert operations. So that's not the question. The question is what justifies us being involved long term and is that what America wants? I don't think so because that was the campaign that was ran. We're not going to get over invested in campaigns of conflict and war with our service members blood, which we've already sacrificed nearly a dozen service members, many of whom are injured, sustained long term injuries and are going to have gross effects their entire lives thrown into a VA system for example. That isn't a priority. I can tell you right now because I work with the VA on a lot of things. The VA is the worst it's ever been. Is that America first as a priority? I just got an $8,000 bill for a lower back surgery at an ER. Not even the surgery, just the ER visit to get looked at the lower back $8,000 bill that VA just denied. And so I want to take a step back and go, what are we doing? I talked about this on in the underground episode of My Patreon. You could check the links down below to see the Patreon. It's on the free side of it. But I talked about how you look at how much we've invested in our own taxes to the federal government and how much of that is being used to provide weapons of war to our partners, to Ukraine, to Israel, how much of that is being used by states that are subsidized by our federal taxpayer money to be used by Somali refugees that are opening learning centers, leering centers. Nick Shirley is now exposing fraud in California and it's rampant there too. So if you're a law abiding, tax paying citizen of this country and you want America first, does it feel that way when half of your paycheck goes to the federal government that's being spent on more wars, that's being spent on more fraud. And look, I'm not blaming the administration. I see they're trying to fix some of these issues, but there's a lot of this that I look at and go, that's not good enough. Killing the religious leader of an entire ideology that's super radical, by the way. Killing the religious leader and then ending the declaration of war against a country in a campaign that's an ideology that has no timelines, constraints or operates within a border is comical at best. Yeah, the campaign, the war is over. It's not over for them. You just killed a religious leader. And again, I'm not saying that some of these guys have, that had a target on their head, don't deserve it. What I'm saying is, what are we doing? This doesn't seem like a step in the right direction under the policy that was proposed and promised of America First. What's even more shocking is the response by Tulsi Gabbard. So Tulsi Gabbard outlined a response on her Instagram and I'm going to pull it up right now. Tulsi Gabbard on her Instagram, posted this morning. Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our president and Commander in Chief. As our commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people in our country. The Officer of Director, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions. Okay, let's stop right there. If that is true, then he has advised the President that Iran is not an imminent threat. So it is not the President's job to determine imminence of threat. It is his job to listen to the intelligence community and their understanding of the circumstance and then for Trump to make a decision based off that. But if Joe King comes forward and says Iran is not an imminent threat and Trump says execute the operation anyway, then the question is, why are we doing that? And if the reason, as stated by Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson and many others, is because of the infiltration of the Israelis and their influence in the administration, our government and our country, then isn't that a valid question that we should be looking into? How much influence does another country have? And to be frank, I don't have anything against Israelis. I actually love the Israelis. I love Israel. I don't get the whole anti, I can't even say the word because I don't want to get suppressed. But I, I don't get it because I just don't understand the dynamics of it. I'm Korean. We, I don't have to deal with that, but I understand it's a thing. But I like Israelis, I like Israel. I think they're in a difficult position. But if you were to say this with other allies in the region, I would ask the same question. Why are we sacrificing our resources, assets, treasure and significantly our blood American lives for another country when we should be doing it for ourselves? 18 veterans killed themselves in VA hospitals across the country last year. 1822 allegedly per day die. Do we talk about that? Are we trying to fix it? I can tell you having working with the work with the va, working with a State Senator Curtis's office trying to navigate these murky waters. Enough is not being done and veterans and Americans are frustrated. She finishes off with saying after carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion. Okay, Tulsa Gabbard, before she went to the White House, before she went into her position as the director of all the intelligence organizations was very anti war and now we're in it. She's been very critical of war, including the Iraq war. And she stood on a platform that we were not going to over invest our country in foreign wars. And here we are. What say you? Lastly, Trump came out and gave his opinion. And he said that Joe Kent was a nice guy. He also said that Joe Kent was weak on security. Was he weak on security? I don't think so. Joe is the strongest human being I know as the subject matter expert in this realm. The difference is he isn't bought by anybody. He hasn't compromised his integrity, and he's not willing for any man, only God, not for any man, going to lie to the American people, going to fabricate this illusion when it comes to truth. And Joe Kent knows sacrifice more than anybody I know, and I believe every word he said. Now, it's your opinion that maybe Joe Kent doesn't want to do it because he's been bought, he's been sold, or whatever the. Whatever it is. Leave me your feedback and comments down below if you feel differently. But what I'm saying is I know Joe Kent personally and he's resigning. It's because he really believes everything he said and I trust him also.
