About this episode

The episode discusses the heated exchange between Joe Kent and Dan Bongino regarding the investigation into foreign ties to Charlie Kirk's assassination.

After former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent told Jimmy that FBI Director Kash Patel had blocked his agency's investigation into foreign ties to Charlie Kirk's assassination, a decision he publicly protested as premature and contrary to NCTC's "intelligence fusion" mandate, former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino publicly attacked Kent, calling the allegations "stupidity" and arguing the NCTC lacked legal investigative authority over the case. Kent countered Bongino by explaining that NCTC analysts were assisting at the FBI's request and had identified additional leads, including social media posts predicting the attack, which suggested possible coordination. The dispute has divided the conservative movement, with supporters of Kent pointing to the need for accountability and supporters of Bongino arguing the investigator is exploiting the tragedy for personal gain. Plus segments on the MOUNTAIN of evidence suggesting Israel had prior knowledge of the October 7th attacks and investigator John Cullen revealing the connection between the Gaza genocide and the Charlie Kirk assassination. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and James Corbett!
