Tucker Carlson: Charlie Kirk Said 'Go Max' on Jeffrey Epstein and Israeli Intelligence Claims
Tucker Carlson reveals that Charlie Kirk specifically encouraged him to discuss Jeffrey Epstein's alleged connections to Israeli intelligence at a Turning Point USA event, despite potential backlash from donors. New evidence from Megyn Kelly includes backstage video of Kirk telling Tucker to "Go Max" before his controversial speech. The discussion emerges as Democrats attempt to link Trump to Epstein through recently released emails, which actually exonerate the former president according to victim Virginia Roberts' sworn testimony. Carlson argues that Epstein likely worked as a foreign intelligence asset and that asking these questions doesn't constitute hatred but represents fundamental citizenship rights.
Charlie Kirk Encouraged Tucker Carlson to Address Epstein-Israel Connection
Tucker Carlson revealed in a recent interview with Megyn Kelly that Charlie Kirk specifically encouraged him to discuss Jeffrey Epstein's alleged connections to Israeli intelligence during a Turning Point USA event. According to Carlson, when he expressed hesitation about addressing the topic due to potential donor backlash, Kirk looked at him and said, "Go all the way. Do it. Go all the way."
Kelly presented video evidence from backstage at the event showing Kirk interrupting a conversation between her and Carlson to tell Tucker, "Go Max." This corroborates Carlson's account that Kirk wanted him to fully address the controversial subject despite knowing it could create problems with some conservative donors.
Democrats' Epstein Strategy Backfires
Democrats recently attempted to link Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein through newly released private emails. Headlines proclaimed "Trump mentioned multiple times in Epstein's private emails," with one email stating "Donald Trump is with a victim for hours at my house."
However, the unredacted version of the email revealed the victim in question was Virginia Roberts, who has stated on numerous occasions in sworn testimony, on national television, in her book, and in depositions that Trump never acted inappropriately toward her. Roberts has repeatedly confirmed there was "no sex and no flirting even" between her and Trump.
Virginia Roberts was employed by Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and Trump reportedly banned Epstein from the property after Epstein recruited Roberts away from her position there. This established history has been discussed publicly by Trump himself.
Emerging Evidence of Epstein as Israeli Intelligence Asset
The Drop Site, an investigative news website, has published a series of reports detailing how an Israeli spy stayed for weeks at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment and how Epstein helped broker security deals with multiple foreign nations including Russia, Mongolia, and Syria. These deals typically involve private citizens acting on behalf of a state, a role that designates them as state agents.
The last known photograph of Jeffrey Epstein shows him wearing an IDF sweatshirt. According to reports, when Epstein fled to Israel before sentencing, he told people he might stay there because "they don't extradite Jewish criminals."
Tucker Carlson's America Fest Speech
At Kirk's encouragement, Carlson addressed the Epstein-Israel question directly on stage at the Turning Point USA event. He questioned how Epstein went from being a math teacher at the Dalton School in the late 1970s with no college degree to owning multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan.
Carlson argued that criticizing a foreign government's intelligence agency doesn't constitute hatred or bigotry, comparing it to Americans' right to criticize the CIA despite loving their country. He stated, "Epstein clearly had contact with Israeli intelligence and American intelligence and French intelligence, but the only one you're not allowed to talk about is Israeli intelligence."
According to Carlson, "every single person in Washington DC" believes Epstein was running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government, but "no one feels they can say that." He argued that making this topic off-limits creates resentment and drives the conversation into "subterranean and creepy" online spaces.
Charlie Kirk's Evolving Position on Israel
Kelly noted in her commentary that Kirk understood the changing attitudes toward Israel within the conservative movement better than most because he spent his time with young people, his core constituency. Despite Kirk's personal love for Israel, Kelly stated he "knew that even on the right side of the aisle, they had turned and were turning on Israel."
Kelly argued that Kirk wanted Tucker to voice the concerns of a faction within the conservative movement that "needed somebody to put their thoughts and their complaints and their objections into words in a public setting and not just seed the whole argument to the other side which has been dominating conservative thought in media forever."
The Case for Full Disclosure
Carlson and others argue that Americans have an absolute right to know whether a foreign government was committing crimes on U.S. soil, particularly when that country receives American funding. The question "Were you working on behalf of Mossad? Were you running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government?" has been asked to the government of Israel, according to Carlson, with the response being "we're not going to tell you."
The argument for releasing all Epstein files centers on the public's right to understand how susceptible American leadership has been to foreign intelligence operations and whether law enforcement turned "a blind eye to child predation in order to get more intel or protect our ruling class."
As Carlson stated, "You're allowed to do that because you're not a slave. You're a citizen. And you have a right to expect that your government will not act against your interest. And you have a right to demand that foreign governments not be allowed to act against your interest."
