In the days leading up to his death, Charlie Kirk engaged in complex and combative discussions about his stance on Israel, receiving pushback from both pro-Israel supporters and Jewish donors, which culminated in his announcement in a text chain to confidantes that he planned to leave the pro-Israel movement. One Zionist friend of Charlie’s, conservative commentator Josh Hammer, participated in calls and meetings to help “refine” his messaging on Israel, and claimed Charlie was only “blowing off steam” and being sarcastic about making a break with Israel.
Jimmy and guest Ian Carroll discuss the controversy surrounding Charlie’s attitude toward Israel in the days leading up to his death and the flailing efforts by Zionists to deny the truth of his feelings about the conflict between Zionism and “America First.”
