Current State of US Politics w/ Former Counter Terrorism Joe Kent | ZFS 69

Send us Fan MailJoe Kent resigned from inside the government because he watched it happen in real time. Israeli officials and mega donors like Miriam Adelson bypassed official intelligence channels to feed the president and his inner circle a single message over and over again until US policy changed. Not through force. Through access. Through repetition. Through the echo chamber of think tanks, Fox News pundits, and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies all saying the same thing at the same time.The result? America is now two and a half months into a war that was supposed to last two to four weeks. One fifth of the world's energy supply is being choked off at the Straits of Hormuz. Gas prices are up. Fertilizer supply is in crisis. And the goal of current negotiations is essentially just to get back to where things were in February.Joe breaks down how we got here, why killing Iran's religious leadership removed the moderates and empowered the hardliners, why there is no military solution, and what a real exit strategy could actually look like. He also weighs in on the Thomas Massie primary, the splintering of MAGA, and why a Massie win on Tuesday could be contagious in the best possible way for the American people.This is the conversation Washington does not want you to have.Support the show
