Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and journalist Tucker Carlson engage in a discussion about the growing influence of the Israel lobby, specifically AIPAC, in Washington politics. They delve into AIPAC's controversial rise to power, Israel's attack on the USS Liberty in 1967, and a possible connection between Israel and the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
The pair explore how the Johnson administration supported Israel following the attack on the American ship and penalized the surviving crew members for disclosing details about the incident. They also mention a second attack by Israel on the USS Liberty around 45 minutes after the initial assault, asserting that "there's no question they tried to sink it."
The conversation extends to JFK's clash with Israel concerning the latter's nuclear program, as well as Israel's suspected involvement in Kennedy's assassination. John F. Kennedy not only refused to supply Israel with nuclear technology but also actively obstructed their efforts, according to Kiriakou and Carlson.
