On this special segment of Off The Record, I address the sudden and controversial resignation of Joe Kent as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). While the mainstream and dissident right focus on Kent's criticisms of Israel and the ensuing FBI investigation, I also dive deeper into the overlooked history of terror assessments and the critical role Kent played in identifying active threats to the American homeland.This episode is meant to challenge the narrative from both sides, questioning whether Kent’s resignation was an act of moral conviction or a calculated move for "the court of public opinion." This episode also highlights the alarming rise in domestic terror threats and the "rogue" political actors who may be compromising national security.Off The Record is only on Locals: https://theandressegoviashow.locals.comAcross The Socials @TheAndresSegoviaThank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!

Natasha Owens was once canceled for her vocal support of President Trump and conservative values. The former Christian music mainstay has become a popular MAGA brand, vindicated by the massive success of her number one smash hit, Trump Won. And despite ongoing censorship, her music has topped music charts and generated billions of social media impressions, solidifying her as a leading voice at the intersection of faith, patriotism, and culture.Today, Natasha Owens is a patriotic powerhouse who started the trend of conservative anthems topping the pop charts, and recently has responded to Bruce Springsteen's new protest song, which criticizes federal immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, with a song of her own. Natasha's new song, The Boss, was released on February 6th, and the new single immediately debuted to number one on the iTunes rock chart, knocking Springsteen to number two, and landed at number two in the iTunes all genres chart ahead of Springsteen, and new singles from Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, T.I. and more. The new single is available on all platforms now.Before Natasha Owens took aim at Bruce Springsteen's protest song and topped the charts with her new single The Boss, she also released another song called The Somali Waltz.Natasha recently met with President Trump in the Oval Office at the White House to present him with an award plaque commemorating the tremendous success of her single, The Chosen One. The release of The Chosen One does mark the last time Natasha was on the program, and I look forward to bringing her on again to talk about not just her recent two singles, but also the seventh studio album That's America which released on October 2025. Here's my conversation with Natasha Owens. @natashaowensmusic Watch the official music video for "The Boss" here:https://too.fm/thebossAcross The Socials @TheAndresSegovia IG: https://www.instagram.com/theandressegovia/X: https://twitter.com/_AndresSegoviaShow Notes:https://TheAndresSegovia.comSupport The Show!My Amazon Store:https://www.amazon.com/shop/theandressegoviashowThe Goat Farm Skin Care: https://thegoatfarm.idevaffiliate.com/25.htmlBlackout Coffee: https://www.blackoutcoffee.com?p=wC4nmVNoaUse Promo Code THEANDRESSEGOVIA for 20% off your order!Gainful Protein: http://gainful.com/ANDRESSEGOVIABUBS Naturals Wellness Products: https://shop.bubsnaturals.com/TheAndresSegoviaAll Affiliate Links: https://theandressegovia.start.page This is a public episode.
