Description

Megyn Kelly is joined by Joe Kent, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, to speak out for the first time about the reports he's being investigated by the FBI for leaking to the media during his time in the Trump administration, whether he leaked info about Mark Levin to Tucker Carlson, the allegation he leaked about Charlie Kirk to Candace Owens, and more. They also discuss what really happened behind-the-scenes in the Trump administration in the weeks leading up to the Iran war, the influence of neocons and foreign officials in Trump's decision-making, critiques about him speaking out against the president during a war, how VP JD Vance and DNI Tulsi Gabbard fit with Trump’s current Iran policy, Kent's interactions with Vance, Gabbard, and Trump the night before his resignation letter, whether he was frozen out of meetings with President Trump and other top officials, why Kent believes there’s much more to investigate related to the Charlie Kirk assassination, why the FBI could take the lead on the potential "transtifa" connection, whether foreign actors were involved in any way, what drew him to President Trump during the 2016 GOP primary, why his past foreign policy “moral clarity” on Iraq and Middle East was so appealing, Kent's lengthy military service, and more.

Thank you both. My son is 30 and my daughter is 27. But as a mother, I worry for their future. I voted for Our President Trump to keep us out of foreign conflicts.

It’s time to re-evaluate the influence of lobbying groups like AIPAC in our political system. While israeli citizens receive government-funded healthcare and social support, many Americans struggle with basic needs. U.S. foreign aid should be discussed transparently and aligned with our domestic priorities

Young Mr. Kent is a true warrior, the kind I suppose you write books about. Six Bronze Stars? I can’t imagine how he earned those medals, nor how he (Joe) gave his last full measure by losing his beloved wife in a war nobody wanted but chose to serve anyway. Young men like Mr. Kent should be honored and respected for his dedication to duty…and whatever you or I may think….respected also for his dedication to stick to his principles. Mr. Kent’s decision to resign, is his decision…and frankly from what I’ve seen of this young man’s career and service to his country? Well God bless him and thanks immensely for your service Joe.😎👍

If the administration comes after Kent with anything less then real hard facts of significant treason. They will look so bad. This guy is a real genuine American hero. Right leaning, not a far right person. Any side attacking Kent should just let him be. I don’t think I’ve gravitated to someone as much as this since Charlie Kirk. Not to that degree but still, same feeling

There is a video out there from 1998 of BIBI on television saying that they were months away from having a nuclear weapon. And that was a 1998. He’s been preaching this that far back when I was 27 years old, I think.

They often claim ‘leaking’ to discredit ppl. The 2 fired from the pentagon early in the admin for their opposition to war in Iran were also accused of leaking& were recently cleared.
