The Character Assassination of Joe Kent

Dog Poop Road Trip, Epstein Distractions & Tulsi’s ‘Imminent Threat’ Dodge — Plus Bibi’s Murder Punch Card?!

Dan and Corey open with jokes about last week’s botched outro, road-trip “road beers,” and a disgusting dog-poop incident during a 3:30 a.m. drive home, then pivot to politics: they argue the Iran war is distracting from the Epstein files and complain that dissidents like Joe Kent are investigated faster than names tied to Epstein. They discuss Kent’s high-profile resignation as head of the National Counterterrorism Center, praising it as principled while criticizing media figures for blaming Israel but avoiding holding Trump accountable. They play and react to Tulsi Gabbard’s tense exchange with Sen. Jon Ossoff about whether Iran posed an “imminent nuclear threat,” calling her evasive and accusing her of choosing job security over truth. They mock a Netanyahu–Huckabee video featuring a “punch card,” debate claims it might be AI, and slam Trump adviser Kevin Hassett for saying the economy would be fine even if consumers suffer.
