5:56Now PlayingFormer National Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent joins Jimmy to argue that U.S. Middle East policy has been hijacked by the Israeli lobby, leading to disastrous outcomes including the rise of ISIS and al-Qaeda. Kent notes the bitter irony that Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda leader with a $10 million U.S. bounty, was welcomed to the White House after Assad's fall, despite his organization fighting U.S. forces for decades and killing his wife.
He and Jimmy point out that ISIS and al-Qaeda never attacked Israel, despite the U.S. wars supposedly being against terrorism, while Iran, —which the U.S. is now fighting, has never attacked America on U.S. soil. The segment frames the current Iran war as the final step in a long-planned campaign for Israel's benefit, echoing Wesley Clark's warning about a seven-country regime-change plan drawn up after 9/11.
