Tucker Carlson Condemns Netanyahu’s Response to Charlie Kirk’s Death; Kirk ‘Did Not Like Bibi Netanyahu’

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for what he described as a “ghoulish” and self-serving reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In a recent episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, the former Fox News host condemned the exploitation of Kirk’s death for political gain — particularly by foreign leaders.

Carlson, who was close to Kirk, said he was “shocked and sickened” by Netanyahu’s public statement following the young conservative activist’s assassination. According to Carlson, the prime minister attempted to reframe Kirk’s death in support of Israel’s ongoing military operations — a move Carlson called “disgusting.”

“Basically [Netanyahu] made it all about him and all about his country,” Carlson said. “Immediately trying to take the energy, the sadness, the grief that people felt over Charlie’s murder and redirect it towards support for whatever project he’s involved in.”

Carlson emphasized that Kirk had long expressed deep reservations about Netanyahu and his policies, especially the conduct of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

“He loved the state of Israel. He loved going there,” Carlson said. “But he did not like Bibi Netanyahu. He felt that Netanyahu was a very destructive force. He was appalled by what was happening in Gaza.”

According to Carlson, Kirk was particularly frustrated by what he saw as Netanyahu’s willingness to use American political and financial support to further Israel’s military objectives — at the expense of U.S. interests.

“He believed Netanyahu was using the United States to prosecute his wars… and that it was shameful, embarrassing, and bad for the United States,” Carlson said. “He resented it.”

Carlson acknowledged that some Netanyahu allies and defenders would likely attack him for speaking out, but he insisted that Kirk’s views on the matter were well known and could be corroborated.

“There are enough text messages that I think it can probably be verified in pretty short order — not that it needs to be, because that is true.”

Carlson also revealed that Kirk had come under heavy pressure from donors and political insiders for inviting Carlson to speak at a recent Turning Point USA conference. According to Carlson, Kirk lost a $2 million donation just two days before his death due to that decision.

“Donors tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died,” Carlson said. “I hated seeing how much he was suffering, the hassle he was getting from people.”

He described the pushback as intense and driven in large part by individuals aligned with Netanyahu, who viewed Carlson’s criticisms of Israeli policy as a threat to their influence.

Carlson’s remarks sparked immediate discussion across the conservative political landscape. Former Republican congressman Matt Gaetz came to Carlson’s defense, writing, “I have personal knowledge as to many of the claims Tucker is making here. They are 100 percent true.”

For Carlson, the issue is not merely political — it’s personal. His remarks were rooted in what he described as a genuine concern for preserving the truth about who Charlie Kirk was and what he believed.

“There are many liars out there — Bibi Netanyahu number one among them, shamefully — who are trying to distort the truth,” Carlson concluded. “A truth that I know and can prove.”

WATCH: Rep. Thomas Massie Confronts FBI Director Kash Patel Over Epstein Trafficking Claim

In a fiery exchange on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) directly challenged FBI Director Kash Patel over his recent claim that no “credible information” exists tying Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation to any individuals beyond Epstein himself.

Massie, a vocal proponent of government transparency and a longstanding advocate for the release of the Epstein files, pressed Patel over his testimony before the Senate earlier this week — and used the opportunity to read out a partial list of prominent figures who, according to victims, were allegedly involved in Epstein’s trafficking network.

“Director Patel, I watched some of your Senate hearing yesterday,” Massie began. “You said there’s no credible information that Epstein trafficked these women to anyone else. But that doesn’t match the evidence the FBI already has.”

Massie then cited FBI Form 302s — official records of witness interviews — which, he said, contain testimony from victims naming at least 20 men, including Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays Bank. Other unnamed individuals, according to Massie, include a Hollywood producer worth hundreds of millions, a royal prince, a government official, several billionaires, and even a magician.

“We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control,” Massie said. “I don’t know exactly who they are, but the FBI does.”

He then asked Patel directly: “Have you launched any investigations into any of these people, and have you seen these 302 documents?”

Patel responded that while he had tasked FBI agents with reviewing all Epstein-related material, no new indictments had been brought forward, and no new credible evidence had been presented to him personally.

“We’re working with Congress to divulge that information and produce it to you,” Patel said. “But there have been no new materials brought to me.”

Massie didn’t hold back.

“So is the loophole here that you’re saying these victims aren’t credible? That the 302s maybe didn’t produce credible statements that rise to probable cause?” he pressed.

Patel denied making that assertion, attributing the lack of prosecution to the judgment of two separate U.S. Attorneys’ Offices under three different presidential administrations — none of which pursued further charges based on the documents.

The congressman, however, refused to let the matter drop.

“Are the 302 documents in the FBI’s possession?” Massie asked.

“They reviewed all that, yes, sir,” Patel replied.

“And have you reviewed them — the ones where the victims name the people who victimized them?”

“If I personally—no. But the FBI has,” Patel admitted.

That prompted a pointed response from Massie:

“So how can you sit here and in front of the Senate and say there are no names? I named one today.”

Patel responded that the FBI doesn’t typically release names of either victims or individuals tied to unproven allegations, especially when the agency has determined that the information does not meet a threshold of credibility or probable cause.

“We are not in the habit of releasing incredible information,” Patel said. “Multiple authorities have looked at the entirety of what we have.”

But Massie wasn’t satisfied.

He underscored that the limitations of prior investigations — particularly the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement signed in Florida — did not apply to the 2019 Epstein indictment in the Southern District of New York, which, he noted, generated a fresh wave of interviews and supporting documentation.

That distinction, he argued, invalidates Patel’s claim that earlier constraints hampered the FBI’s ability to follow through on victim allegations.

As outrage continues to build across the political spectrum over the lack of public accountability in the Epstein case, Massie’s interrogation marks one of the most direct public challenges to the FBI’s current handling of the matter — and raises fresh questions about why the names of alleged accomplices remain sealed, even years after Epstein’s death.

“We owe the American people the truth,” Massie said. “And I intend to keep asking.”

Federal Reserve Cuts Interest Rates a Quarter Point as US Job Market Wobbles

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a quarter point as central bankers said worries about a wobbly US job market have begun to outweigh anxieties over inflation.

Eleven of the Fed’s 12 central bankers voted for the regular-size cut including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who has spent most of the year deflecting attacks from President Trump over his refusal to lower rates.

The exception was Stephen Miran, who instead voted for a jumbo-size, half-point cut — one day after he left his position as Trump’s economic adviser to become a Fed governor.

Central bankers have been delaying rate cuts over fears that tariffs could reheat inflation, which has shown signs of picking up over the summer. Consumer spending has likewise been resilient despite Trump’s tariffs.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell called Wednesday’s decision a “risk-management cut” as policymakers confront a “very different picture of the risks to the labor market” following major downward revisions to job growth earlier this month.

No-Media-Allowed MAGA Hangout Spilled Beans on Bessent-Pulte Altercation: ‘They Go Leak to Them Anyway’

One of the key draws of Omeed Malik’s Executive Branch social club in DC is no are reporters allowed. The rule helped him attract his A-list MAGA clientele who are often at odds with the media – the Washington press corps in particular.

But what Malik didn’t count on, according to people who know him, is that his mainstream media-hating customers are also big leakers to the dreaded MSM, as evidenced by reports that a vicious smackdown almost occurred on his premises between two top MAGA figures, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal House Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte, On The Money has learned.

Malik is trying to remain neutral, though he can’t understand why his members would leak the near fisticuffs to the press.

“It’s funny because Omeed told his customers that he would never have journalists in his club and then they go leak to them anyway,” said one person close to the matter. “You can’t make this sh-t up.”

As reported last week, Bessent – Trump’s usually mild-mannered Treasury secretary – reportedly threatened to punch Pulte in his “f–king face.” And as we exclusively broke, top players in the White House can’t wait for Bessent to get started because they view Pulte as a publicity hound with sharp elbows.

Bill Ackman and Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon Dragged Into Candace Owens’ Explosive Charlie Kirk Scandal

American commentator and author Candance Owens has made startling claims against billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump ally Bill Ackman and The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. Owens alleged a “high-stakes intervention” involving the two and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk took place just weeks before his tragic assassination.

The six-minute clip has already garnered more than 1.2 million views and sparked intense debate across platforms. Known for her [anti-Israel] stances, Candance Owens alleged that there was a “tense” meeting in the Hamptons where Ackman allegedly pressured Kirk over his views on Israel.

Owens alleged in a video and social media posts that Ackman, Kirk, and Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon participated in an “intense intervention” where “threats were made” to influence Kirk’s stance on Israel.

She also claimed that Kirk had been offered “a ton of money” and had been contacted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Kirk reportedly declined the invitation. “I know that Charlie was offered a significant amount of money during that time… a ton of money,” Owens stated.

She also mentioned reaching out to Dillon for comment on the story, but he did not respond. She displayed a screenshot of a post where Ackman praises Kirk as a “giant of a man” after their meeting, contrasting it with her claims of coercion.

Four Arrested After Trump and Epstein Image Projected on Windsor Castle

Giant projections of President Donald Trump alongside convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were beamed onto Windsor Castle late Tuesday night leading to the arrest of four people.

The arrests were made on “suspicion of malicious communications” after a selection of images featuring the two appeared on the historic landmark ahead of Trump’s arrival for his unprecedented second state visit, Thames Valley Police said.

Trump is the only president to be invited for two state visits, the first being in 2019. The year before that, he met the late Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle during a working visit.

The BBC reports those arrested were a 60-year-old from East Sussex, a 36-year-old and a 50-year-old from London alongside a 37-year-old from Kent.

The force said an investigation was under way after officers responded “swiftly” to stop the projection on the castle, where Trump will meet King Charles during the first full day of his state visit on Wednesday.

Fire Chief on Administrative Leave over ‘Incendiary’ Post After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination

Anthony P. Luke, chief of the Cleveland Division of Fire, has been placed on administrative leave after publicly posting “incendiary” remarks following the horrific public assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

According to Fox 8, which confirmed that Luke has been placed on leave, the now-deleted Facebook post contained a cartoon image of a rifle with the caption, “Bring out the next sacrifice!!” following Kirk’s assassination, which occurred during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, a Democrat, confirmed that the post was brought to his attention, asserting that it fundamentally “romanticizes gun violence, a matter far too serious in a city where we mourn too many families every week, too many lives cut short, and too many children denied safe sleep in their beds.”

The mayor said he believes in free speech and that the First Amendment “protects every individual’s right to express opinions—even those that are unpopular, provocative, or difficult to hear.”

“But with rights come responsibilities, especially for those who hold positions of public trust and leadership,” he continued, explaining that someone in a position like Luke is a “standard-bearer for what the City of Cleveland stands for, what we teach our children, and how our neighbors should expect to be treated—and protected.” (Read more from “Fire Chief on Administrative Leave over ‘Incendiary’ Post After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination” HERE)

Tyler Robinson Emotionless, Wearing ‘Suicide Smock’ in First Virtual Court Appearance Since Charlie Kirk Assassination

By New York Post. Tyler Robinson appeared on video from his Utah prison cell for a virtual hearing before District Judge Tony Graf early Tuesday evening, looking emotionless in a green “suicide smock,” and not speaking except to state his name.

The suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk stared blankly ahead as the judge read out the seven charges against him, sporting slightly mussed locks, several days’ worth of facial hair, and wearing a vest similar to the one he wore in his released mug shot.

Judge Graf said the court determined Robinson, 22, was “indigent,” and therefore had been appointed an attorney.

Robinson nodded slightly several times throughout the 10-minute hearing, including as the judge said he would remain in custody without bail.

Prosecutor Chad Grunander said the state had filed a pre-trial protective order on behalf of Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, which Judge Graf accepted. The reason for the request was not immediately known.

Tyler Robinson Grew ‘More Pro-Gay and Trans-Rights-Oriented,’ Mom Told Cops as Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged, Could Face Firing Squad

By New York Post. Tyler Robinson had grown “more pro-gay and trans-rights-oriented” in the past year, his mother told cops in new details revealed Tuesday — as the accused Charlie Kirk assassin was hit with charges that could land him in front of a firing squad.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray called Kirk’s killing “an American tragedy” as he provided more stunning details about the role Robinson’s parents played in his surrender while speaking at a press conference.

The developments came as the seven state charges were announced against Robinson, a 22-year-old with a trans boyfriend — including the top rap of aggravated murder, which qualifies for the death penalty in Utah.

Gray said he would in fact seek Robinson’s execution, which could be by firing squad under Utah law.

“The murder of Charlie Kirk is an American tragedy” Gray told reporters at the Utah County Health & Justice Building in Provo. (Read more from “Tyler Robinson Grew ‘More Pro-Gay and Trans-Rights-Oriented,’ Mom Told Cops as Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged, Could Face Firing Squad” HERE)

Read the Chilling Text Exchange Between Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin and His Trans Lover

Tyler Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, a biological male that identified as transgender who was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, provided evidence including a series of text messages from Robinson on September 10, 2025.

Prosecutors say Twiggs received a text message from Robinson which said, “drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.”

Twiggs looked under the keyboard and found a note that stated, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”

Police found a photograph of this note. Prosecutors say the following text exchange then took place: After reading the note, Twiggs responded, “What?????????????? You’re joking, right????”

Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

Roommate: you weren’t the one who did it right???? (Read more from “Read the Chilling Text Exchange Between Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Assassin and His Trans Lover” HERE)

Democrats Said Thoughts And Prayers Won’t Stop Leftist Violence, So Here Are Some Ideas

On Wednesday, after an assassin fatally shot conservative organizer Charlie Kirk in the throat while he spoke at a campus event in Utah, the reaction on the left was twofold. Online and in the real world, some celebrated Kirk’s death and said, in so many words, that he had it coming. Others issued statements, mostly vanilla, decrying “political violence” and expressing sympathies for Kirk’s family. A few said they were “praying.” Many conspicuously didn’t, instead blandly saying their “thoughts” were with Kirk and his family.

The compulsory statements ring pretty hollow for a few reasons. For starters, “thoughts” is a meaningless replacement for the act of petitioning God Almighty for comfort and healing. They’re coming from people who regularly vilified Kirk and his allies, using the same kind of inflammatory language Kirk’s killer engraved on the casings of his bullets. But it has also become obvious how much disgust many on the left have for prayer — so it’s weird to watch them play-act at an impotent secularized version of it, let alone the real thing.

Recall just two weeks ago, after a transgender shooter opened fire on Catholic schoolchildren in church, heartbroken Christians offered their prayers for the victims and their families. Prominent leftists excoriated them, mocking the prayers of not just horrified onlookers but the very prayers spoken by the victims before they were shot.

To mock our prayers as insufficient was a convenient way to redirect the conversation about the Minneapolis shooting toward the left’s favorite talking point in times of tragedy, gun control (certainly not the rising crisis of transgender violence). They told us prayer was not enough and that something had to be done to stop such tragedies from happening again.

The past week has proved them wrong and (kind of) right. It’s more obvious than ever how much our prayers are needed. Nothing in the world can comfort Mrs. Charlie Kirk better than her Lord and Savior, as I imagine she’s acutely aware. No power less than Christ can win over the souls of those who have gleefully cast their lot with evil and boasted of it on the internet. We should all be in constant and fervent prayer for Kirk’s loved ones to be comforted, for the hearts of those who hate him to be turned from evil, and for justice and virtue to govern the civic life we share with those who hate us. Even now, we’ve seen God in His abundant mercy use Kirk’s death to soften the hearts of strangers toward Christianity. Praise God for that, pray for more to hear and believe, and pray for faithful disciples to share the Gospel as prolifically as Kirk did.
