RFK, Jr. tells Tucker he would serve as Trump's CIA Director if asked

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it's unlikely that he would receive Senate confirmation because committee members are 'just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.'

(LifeSiteNews) — Former presidential candidate turned Donald Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Tucker Carlson this week that he would definitely serve as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

“Yes, I would,” Kennedy replied. “But I would never get Senate confirmation.”

Kennedy made major news last week when just one day after the Democratic National Convention he endorsed the former president in his bid for the Oval Office.

Kennedy was given a hero’s welcome by Trump at a rally in Arizona, during which he spoke about the need to end childhood illnesses and the “chronic disease epidemic” in America.

Kennedy’s interview with Carlson indicates he has a sober grasp of the power the Deep State has over U.S. politics.

“As you know, the intelligence (agencies) are protected by very, very powerful committees in the Senate and the House,” Kennedy remarked. “And the people who serve on those committees … they’re just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.”

The pair additionally spoke about other areas of agreement between Kennedy and President Trump as well, in particular Trump’s promise to establish a commission to declassify the remaining documents pertaining to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

“I think everyone at this point knows the truth, which is the CIA is implicated in that. Those documents protect (the) CIA, maybe among others,” Carlson said.

“It’s odd that they’ve not allowed them to be released,” Kennedy replied. “It clearly is to protect the institution … and that’s wrong.”

Both Kennedy and Carlson noted that it was Mike Pompeo, a neocon who served as Trump’s CIA director in 2017-2018 who pressured Trump to not declassify those documents while he was in office for his first term.

While a formal role in Trump’s second administration has not been announced, Kennedy revealed that he is working on policy issues with the campaign at the moment and that if Trump wins he will be helping with the transition team to select persons who will run the government.

During an appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast this week, Trump admitted that when he first won in 2016, he didn’t really know who to hire and that this time around he would select different people to fill key positions.

“I was a New York person, not a Washington, D.C. person,” he said. “In retrospect, I also picked some people I wouldn’t have picked. Now I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the solid ones.”

Kennedy also said that he believes a historic political realignment is taking place as the Democratic Party has become the party of war and censorship ushering in a “corrupt” merger between state and corporate power.

On Monday, former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard followed in Kennedy’s footsteps and endorsed Trump at a rally for the National Guard Association in Detroit. Gabbard’s defection is significant in that she was a rising star on the political left not long ago, having served as vice chair of the Democratic National Party from 2013 until 2016. She resigned from that position in disgust after the presidential primary was rigged to ensure Hillary Clinton and not Bernie Sanders would be the nominee.

A New, Larger, MAGA Coalition

August 27, 2024 | Sundance

Several people have asked why the recent outlines about Tulsi Gabbard (Trump endorsement) and RFK Jr (Tucker Carlson interview), were presented without any opinion or analysis to accompany the articles. Allow me to explain.

Friends, first, I am in action mode identifying who specifically is uploading state/county level registration data for key state ballot printing operations. It sounds like boring footwork because it is, well, boring footwork. This is not sexy, but hopefully this can have a big impact where needed.

Additionally, I am also just like you – trying to figure out how the intersections of the IC are playing out within this newly created coalition of MAGA and influential Democrats, the Unity Party as it is termed.

Essentially, on some aspects to these recent developments I’m trying to figure it out along with you; while my attention is operating at lower level toward what might be called the theatrics of political events. Ballots matter right now more than all this other stuff.

That said, I am certainly not buying a lot of what is being put directly in front of me to purchase. Someone recently said we have just accepted this intelligence operation of the 4th branch of government as if it is a hurdle to jump, or a gate with a lock to pick.

I’m not the guy that just accepts this stuff as our – “new normal.” Eff these IC clowns.

Another aspect is how all of these anti-Trump anti-commonsense narratives (essentially lies) over the past several years are just accepted as the baseline for point making. I just tune the conversation out because the premise is false, like RFK Jr saying yesterday that President Trump is “reprehensible” for what he did on January 6th, and Tucker Carlson just sitting there nodding in agreement like a goofy tool.

My mind sees that conversation and says, “what the heck is that all about?” They both seem intelligent, Tucker has presented the FBI J6 stuff before, and yet they talk about J6 as if Trump was raging at people to attack Capitol Hill government.

This conversation as broadcast just doesn’t make logical sense; not just in the way they are talking about stuff, but in the content of their discussion – it’s like watching a performance that isn’t quite scripted but yet both of the participants have agreed on points to include (and those points are goofy).

Usually, when I see this type of activity, I put it in the ‘possible IC operation’ file. Yet, I’m told by everyone in MAGA world that this is the best type of conversation for coalition building and don’t look at RFK Jr with my customary skepticism because unity or something.

I’m sorry, but I would rather hear about Trump administration staffing (who is on the transition team) from the official campaign, not random members shooting from the hip. Beyond RFK Jr calling Trump “reprehensible,” a very odd way to talk about being supportive of a candidate you just endorsed, RFK Jr acts like MAGA is supposed to join with him, align with him, agree with him, benefit from him, not vice-versa.

Essentially, if you watch the messaging from RFK Jr and his key influencers like Tucker Carlson, they are replacing Donald Trump (at least JD Vance) with RFK Jr., that doesn’t seem cool.

Then someone reminded me that Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn all wanted Robert F Kennedy Jr to be Trump’s vice president. Not only did they want it, but they all talked about it constantly, perhaps that’s part of the dynamic we are watching.

When RFK Jr says President Trump’s people reached out to him to become Vice President before he offered the position to JD Vance; RFK Jr saying he rejected the offer; I’m left to wonder why Kennedy would make such a statement?

Now, in addition to accepting RFK Jr being unchallenged as he says, “President Trump is reprehensible,” I’m supposed to find “unity” in the ego of a very self-centered Kennedy saying he will be inside President Trump’s administration, on President Trump’s transition team making decisions, after publicly saying he rejected the offer of VP, which -if we are honest- is said only to make JD Vance smaller, and that speaks directly to the character of JFK Jr.

When I look at all of this, and granted I am not exclusively focused on it – so I might be missing stuff, the construct taking place here smells a lot like an influence operation. Yes, I want to win… I want all of us to win… However, factually I’m already tired of people shouting “purity” at me as if it is some kind of disparagement.

If expecting Robert F Kennedy to refrain from calling President Donald Trump “reprehensible” is some kind of purity test, then consider me guilty of demanding a purity test. I don’t mean to be argumentative / not a team player, but as we get into formation for the last 70 days before this election, I don’t want the guy standing next to me stabbing me in the neck with his pencil either (hey, appropriate Philly reference).

I’m also absorbing what it means for the RFK Jr endorsement to resurrect the “Q” tribe into 2024.

The CTH social media feed is suddenly swarmed again with Q supporters talking about the RFK Jr endorsement of President Trump being some long-ago-created master plan. Another ‘plan to trust’ cycle of “drops” and “proofs” was not something I expected. Seeing this also raises my suspicions of an intelligence community at work.

As long as all of this MAGA/Democrat coalition stuff ends up with a net voter benefit for President Trump, I guess it’s all good. However, if any of these unity efforts are done with an intent to mitigate the financial effectiveness of a Trump second term, ie. the general origins of the DC oppositional system, then we need to intercept more than just fraudulent ballot printing operations.

Remember, a few important things. This opposition group are relentless.

DC tried to cancel him – that didn’t work.
DC tried to block him – that didn’t work.
Someone tried to kill him – that didn’t work.
Lawfare tried to stop his ability to campaign – that didn’t work.

…. And there are still trillions at stake.

“That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.”

“This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’

Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”

[From Henry V, Act IV]

Cold anger is displaced with the sense of purposeful rage…

Delicate sensibilities dispatched like a feather in a hurricane…

This is a zero-sum conflict now!
