Joe Kent's credibility crisis: leaked claims and conspiracy theories
Dave Rubin's video analyzes Joe Kent's controversial appearance on Tucker Carlson's podcast, where Kent insinuated Israel may have killed Charlie Kirk as part of a pressure campaign to start war with Iran, while also being under FBI investigation for alleged classified information leaks.
