Published 26 Sep, 2026 06:22On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Joe Kent, the former director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned from the Trump administration after the US-Israeli war on Iran was launched. He discusses the effects of the war domestically and how Israel marched the US to war, who the individual access points are for the Israel lobby in the Trump administration, what was behind Israel’s calculation to assassinate Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war to keep Trump stuck in the war, why Trump has decided not to aid Saudi Arabia militarily in the campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, the association of Nicolas Maduro with Tren de Aragua – the pretext for regime change in Venezuela, why nothing has been done about the perpetrators about the Russiagate hoax, the ongoing cover-up of 9/11, the anniversary of the Nord Stream attack and whether the US was behind it, why no one resigned from the Biden & Trump administrations over the Gaza genocide, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and much more.
