Summary
Whitney Webb joins Jimmy to explain her deep skepticism of Joe Kent, the former CIA counterterrorism official who resigned over the Iran war, warning that he may be part of a long-game psy-op to create a "domestic terrorist" profile that the national security state can later target. She connects this sentiment to the first Trump administration's DHS hearings where officials explicitly defined anti-Semitic right-leaning populists as the emerging domestic terror threat—a classification that could now be triggered by conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
Webb argues that the same infrastructure built for the War on Terror abroad is now being turned inward, and that figures like Kent may be engineered to "signal boost" anti-Zionist sentiment to create a category of Americans the government can later round up as subversives. She urges critical thinking and vigilance, noting that the "MAGA civil war" may be deliberately orchestrated to provide pretext for domestic surveillance expansion.
Plus segments on the GOP faithful at CPAC cheering on Donald Trump's impeachment and Ben Shapiro changing his tune on how long the Iran war is likely to last.
Also featuring Misty Winston, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Vince Vaughn!

| 0:49.3 | I think a lot of stuff is going on right now, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. |
| 0:56.0 | But I think people should be careful in trusting former, quote unquote, former spooks who come out of nowhere and are saying what you want to hear right away because a lot of times what happens is that |
| 1:11.8 | these figures will do that to build up trust with the public and then they'll misdirect |
| 1:15.5 | you somewhere else if you're not careful. So I would advise vigilance and critical thinking, |
| 1:22.2 | which is often in short supply, but should not be about that figure in particular. |
