To hear the full episode, subscribe to American Exception on Patreon! We are joined by John Kiriakou, the former CIA officer who blew the whistle on the agency’s illegal torture program. Aaron and John discuss a number of current events pertaining to the state of the US Empire here in the early weeks of Trump’s second term—including Trump’s Gaza takeover plan, Rubio’s strange endorsement of “multipolarity,” the Gabbard and Kennedy nominations, the hopeless state of the Democrats, the prospects for JFK disclosure under Trump, and 9/11 in the context of the Gaza Genocide and the US-backed al Qaeda takeover of Syria.
