  • Interview with Joe Kent: Iran ceasefire, Trump's craziness, Israeli influence, Tulsi, Epstein

    Today I did an interview with Joe Kent, the former Director of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, who you might recall made a big splash when he resigned from the Trump Administration on March 17, in opposition to the Iran War. While I thought Kent displayed unusual integrity by resigning, I also found the substance of his accompanying letter a bit questionable, especially insofar as it seemed to displace all decision-making agency away from Trump and onto Israel. Which is an argumentative move lots of right-leaning critics of the war have been trying to make for the past six weeks. To me, this gives woefully short shrift to Trump’s clearly-expressed Second Term ideology of global conquest and resource extraction.

    Anyway, following his resignation, Joe Kent jumped immediately onto the Podcast Circuit. Which is rife with epistemic problems, as we’ve often discussed. So I wanted to get into some things with him that maybe he has not addressed yet, or at least hadn’t addressed from the angle that I wanted to approach from.

    Matt Taibbi was supposed to co-pilot the interview, but his hotel Wifi crapped out and he had to abort. Don’t fret though, because Joe Kent has graciously agreed to join the two of us on a forthcoming expeditionary mission to Greenland.

    Let me know what you think.

  • Holy Day livestream with Batya Ungar-Sargon

    After being effused with excessive praise, I get a chance to ask Batya about something that’d been bugging me for the past year. Namely: does she care to revise her April 2025 description of Trump as the “21st century FDR,” because Trump, like FDR, is purportedly “socially moderate, anti-interventionist, and committed to America’s blue collar workers as the backbone of this country.” Because that description never made much sense to me!

  • "Today's News," 4/3/2026: My encounter with Epstein lawyers, "worst podcast" tournament continues

    I’ll have more to come soon on my encounter yesterday with the famed Epstein lawyer consortium. David Boies himself spoke to me for a surprisingly long time. I even had a decently extensive chat with the man, the myth, Bradley Edwards. The only problem was you can’t bring any recording devices into the federal courthouse, so I had to scribble on some haphazardly assembled scrap papers.
