Tucker Carlson Reveals What Charlie Kirk Actually Said About October 7th And Netanyahu

[00:00] Here's Charlie Kirk from 5 days after

[00:03] that tragedy.

[00:05] >> I've been in Israel many times. The

[00:06] whole country is a fortress. When I

[00:08] first heard this story, I still have the

[00:10] same gut instinct that I did initially.

[00:13] I find this very hard to believe. I've

[00:15] been to that Gaza border. You You cannot

[00:18] go 10 ft without running into a

[00:19] 19-year-old with an AR-15 or an

[00:22] automatic machine gun that is an IDF

[00:24] soldier. Right? The whole country is

[00:26] surveilled. And so So, let me just let

[00:28] me just kind of go through this. We

[00:29] don't talk about Israeli politics very

[00:31] often, and most Americans don't know

[00:32] this. The last 9 months Israel was on

[00:34] the brink of civil war. It's not an

[00:36] exaggeration. This judicial stuff, they

[00:38] were They were hundreds of thousands of

[00:40] Israelis taking to the streets because

[00:41] Bibi Netanyahu was basically redefining

[00:44] the Israeli constitution. That's not an

[00:45] exaggeration, right? He said the

[00:47] judicial branch has too much power.

[00:49] There were protests planned this week

[00:51] against Netanyahu where they anticipated

[00:53] tens of thousands of people to take to

[00:55] the streets. That's all gone, Patrick.

[00:58] Netanyahu now has an emergency

[01:00] government and a mandate to lead. I'm

[01:02] not I'm not willing to say to go so far

[01:04] that saying that Netanyahu knew or there

[01:06] was intelligence here, but I think some

[01:07] questions need to be asked. Was there a

[01:09] stand-down order?

[01:12] Was there a stand-down order?

[01:15] 6 hours? I don't believe it. Israel is

[01:17] the size of New The size of New Jersey.

[01:19] When I took a helicopter ride from

[01:21] Jerusalem

[01:22] to the Gaza border, it's 45 minutes.

[01:24] >> Wow.

[01:25] >> 6 hours? They're live-streaming the

[01:27] killing of Jews.

[01:28] Was Did somebody in the government say

[01:30] stand down? That is a legitimate

[01:32] non-conspiracy

[01:34] question.

[01:35] >> I'm not saying Netanyahu allowed this to

[01:37] happen cuz he was going to lose power if

[01:39] it didn't happen. Well, of course,

[01:40] that's exactly what Charlie Kirk was

[01:42] saying. That's exactly what you just

[01:44] heard him say. Of course, he just

[01:46] explained the political situation in

[01:48] Israel on the eve of October 7th, and it

[01:50] was basically curtains for the ruling

[01:53] government, the Netanyahu government.

[01:55] But because of October 7th

[01:58] Netanyahu remained in power and in fact

[02:01] does to this day three years later.

[02:02] Charlie Kirk knew enough about internal

[02:04] politics in Israel to know that. Most

[02:06] Americans had no clue.

[02:08] And was of course

[02:10] close enough to many people in Israel as

[02:12] a long-time Christian Zionist defender

[02:15] of Israel to feel that he could say that

[02:17] out loud without being called an

[02:19] anti-Semite.

[02:20] Needless to say he was immediately

[02:21] denounced as an anti-Semite by a number

[02:23] of figures on the right all of whom are

[02:25] now extolling his memory and telling you

[02:27] that Charlie Kirk thought things that he

[02:29] didn't actually think. People who are

[02:31] now close to the Trump administration

[02:32] but at the moment that he said that he

[02:35] was denounced by American shills for

[02:38] Israel

[02:39] for asking those questions.

[02:42] But they were then as they are now

[02:45] entirely legitimate questions. What did

[02:47] the Israeli government know about

[02:49] Hamas's plans to attack mainland Israel?

[02:53] And of course we can fill in some of

[02:54] those blanks. In a moment we're going to

[02:55] speak to Dave Smith who's following this

[02:57] since the day it happened and has those

[02:59] answers. But we know a lot more than

[03:00] Charlie Kirk did when he said that

[03:03] three years ago.

[03:04] But he knew enough about what was

[03:06] happening in Israel to raise those very

[03:07] obvious questions.

[03:09] But of course they were almost entirely

[03:11] ignored by America's political class.

[03:14] But that's not all he said in that

[03:16] interview. Here's a clip from the second

[03:18] part of the interview which is even more

[03:21] prescient and jarring to listen to three

[03:23] years later. Listen.

[03:26] >> Bibi and the Israeli hard-right

[03:28] government has a mandate.

[03:31] I got to be careful the way I say this.

[03:32] Two, they're going to try to ethnically

[03:34] cleanse Gaza.

[03:36] >> Yep.

[03:36] >> I mean that that's and I'm I don't use

[03:38] that term lightly, okay?

[03:41] They're talking about basically removing

[03:42] 2.5 million people from there, okay?

[03:45] And honestly they have a mandate to go

[03:47] seek justice and revenge. They do. The

[03:50] There is the This idea that they need to

[03:53] have a truce or a peace treaty. That's

[03:54] morally crap after you see women and

[03:57] children be burned alive and dragged to

[03:59] the streets. But there are some serious

[04:01] questions here, Patrick, and let me tell

[04:03] you, my pattern recognition

[04:06] over the last 5 years has become pretty

[04:08] sharp.

[04:09] COVID,

[04:10] Maui fires, you know, Epstein,

[04:14] when I see a story and it doesn't click,

[04:18] we're our guts are usually right.

[04:21] >> Wait a second. Did Charlie Kirk just

[04:25] defend

[04:28] the idea that Netanyahu knew that this

[04:31] was coming? Did he just compare the

[04:33] Israeli government to the Epstein cabal?

[04:38] Did he compare

[04:40] October 7th to the hoax of COVID? He

[04:43] just did. Did he just tell you 5 days

[04:46] after this that the Israeli government

[04:48] will use these attacks as a pretext to

[04:50] quote ethnically cleanse Gaza? You just

[04:53] heard him say that.

[04:54] And it's interesting to hear Charlie

[04:56] Kirk say that, not like Norman

[04:58] Finkelstein,

[05:00] because Charlie Kirk is now remembered

[05:03] as a stalwart defender of Israel,

[05:05] someone who stood with Israel side

[05:07] shoulder to shoulder, no matter what.

[05:11] And in fact, many of his long-time

[05:13] friends today sent out tweets

[05:17] telling you that anyone who questions

[05:20] the Israeli government's response to

[05:22] October 7th in Gaza is an anti-Semite,

[05:25] in fact, a Nazi. The HHS secretary sent

[05:27] out a tweet saying that today. Okay.

[05:29] Comparing anybody

[05:31] who calls the Israeli government's

[05:33] response its ethnic cleansing in Gaza,

[05:36] calls that a genocide, which of course

[05:38] it is, it's ethnic cleansing,

[05:40] compared that person

[05:42] to Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi, claiming

[05:45] that you're Qatari-funded if you say

[05:47] that. But there's Charlie Kirk saying it

[05:50] 5 days

[05:52] after the attacks.

[05:54] Well, how did Charlie Kirk know that?

[05:55] Well, because it was obvious, because he

[05:57] knew a lot about Israel, because he knew

[05:58] the prime minister of Israel and cabinet

[06:00] ministers in Israel cuz he'd been there

[06:02] a lot, cuz that's the world that he

[06:04] lived in.

[06:05] And so he knew exactly what was coming.

[06:08] Now, why don't we remember that that

[06:11] Charlie Kirk thought that?

[06:12] Well, because the moment not an

[06:15] exaggeration, the moment he was murdered

[06:18] in Utah last year,

[06:20] his memory was

[06:22] well, kidnapped

[06:24] by some unscrupulous figures beginning

[06:26] with the prime minister of Israel

[06:29] and used to defend all of the things

[06:33] that he hated and warned against, very

[06:35] much including the ethnic cleansing of

[06:37] Gaza.

[06:38] So, one of the first people in the world

[06:40] and certainly the first head of state to

[06:42] tweet condolences after Charlie Kirk was

[06:44] murdered was Benjamin Netanyahu. And

[06:46] then he kept tweeting about it. Charlie

[06:48] Kirk, stalwart friend of Israel. He

[06:50] should stood shoulder to shoulder with

[06:51] us. My close friend Charlie Kirk.

[06:54] Well, you just saw Charlie Kirk accuse

[06:57] Benjamin Netanyahu of a false flag that

[06:59] resulted in the deaths of 1,200 of his

[07:01] own citizens. Doesn't sound like a close

[07:04] friend talking, does it? Doesn't sound

[07:05] like a friend of the Israeli government,

[07:07] actually. In fact, if you said that now,

[07:09] you would be immediately classified by

[07:10] the Trump administration under the IHRA

[07:13] definition as an anti-Semite.

[07:15] You would be as the HHS secretary said

[07:17] today, tan him out, you a Nazi for

[07:18] saying that.

[07:20] But the guy who said that was celebrated

[07:22] by the guy he accused of doing it as his

[07:25] closest friend.

[07:26] That's weird. That is weird behavior.

[07:29] The current president's first tweet

[07:31] about Charlie Kirk

[07:33] in the hours after he died and you

[07:34] should pull it up if you haven't seen it

[07:36] is Charlie Kirk with an Israeli flag.

[07:39] So, the one thing you're supposed to

[07:40] remember about Charlie Kirk,

[07:42] who was a particularly well-informed and

[07:45] incisive and pretty unrestrained critic

[07:47] of Israel, actually, you just saw the

[07:50] tape,

[07:51] the one thing you're supposed to

[07:52] remember is that he was at all times a

[07:55] defender of Israel. It's the opposite,

[07:56] actually, of the truth.

[07:59] But everyone kind of united to tell that

[08:01] lie, and 3 years later it's it's

[08:03] prevailed, as lies do. If you tell them

[08:06] enough, loudly enough, aggressively

[08:07] enough, and if you penalize people who

[08:09] refuse to repeat them,

[08:11] over time, history records them as true.

[08:13] Everyone's saying it, it must be true.

[08:16] Charlie Kirk, one thing we know about

[08:17] Charlie Kirk, he loved Israel. Well, did

[08:18] he really? He accused the Israeli

[08:20] government of allowing 1,200 of its own

[08:22] people to die?

[08:23] Hmm, doesn't sound like love.

[08:26] It sounds like biting criticism.

[08:30] No one remembers.

[08:32] And nobody, and this really is the

[08:34] point, took time to answer the questions

[08:37] that Charlie Kirk raised at the time,

[08:39] beginning with, "How did this happen,

[08:40] and who benefits from it happening?"

[08:42] But how did this happen?

[08:44] How was the most

[08:45] secure border in the world, in what is a

[08:48] military police state, that's not a

[08:50] criticism, it's a fact, and if you've

[08:51] been there, you can confirm it, you know

[08:53] that's true,

[08:55] how did that country allow

[08:58] guys from one of the poorest places on

[08:59] Earth, Gaza,

[09:01] to fly over in gliders and start in

[09:03] murdering girls

[09:05] at a music festival?

[09:08] No one seemed to ask that question.

[09:10] >> So, having normal testosterone is fine,

[09:11] but optimal testosterone, what does that

[09:14] even mean?

[09:15] Well, it means a better life,

[09:18] leaner muscles, stronger bones, happier

[09:20] wife.

[09:21] If you want those things, of course you

[09:24] do, we recommend Mars Men. Mars Men
