BONUS episode: Joe Kent and Dan McKnight on RAWM 3.0

Joe Kent, former senior advisor in the Trump administration, delivers a searing indictment of the U.S.-Israel war in Iran, revealing how he resigned after witnessing a dangerous echo chamber around President Trump that prioritized Israeli strategic goals over American interests. He argues the war was driven not by U.S. national security, but by Israel’s push for regime change—something the U.S. never agreed to. Kent recounts how Israeli officials bypassed intelligence channels and directly influenced key military leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to shift from opposition to support for war. Dan McKnight adds that the younger generation, shaped by decades of endless war, overwhelmingly opposes military intervention, while older Americans still loyal to MAGA rhetoric remain uncritical of the conflict. Together, they warn that the U.S. is trapped in a war it cannot win, with no clear mission, no exit strategy, and a growing risk of escalation. Their solution? A grassroots coalition centered on constitutional principles, not personality cults, to force a withdrawal and reassert congressional war powers. The event they’re promoting—Rage Against the War Machine 3.0—aims to mobilize this anti-war remnant before it dissolves into disillusionment.
