Scott is delusional and completely unrealistic. JD Vance is not entirely complicit. Sure he could have spoken more publicly, but Scott is LYING by implying that he didn’t oppose the war, when there have always been stories about his opposition to the war.
It one thing for a low level person to resign for being sidelined, but not the higher levels.
If you followed Scott’s advice, there would only be neocons surrounding Trump. Scott would feel happy, but we would all be in a worse situation. ... more
Darryl got a lot to say, makes it worth tolerating Scott’s almost insufferable ego. He knows everything except that the biggest egos are always the most insecure. Horton demonstrates this point on just about every episode.
(Toning down and being more careful with my language to avoid any filters that might prevent reviews from showing.)
Darryl was a bootlicker for the police in the latest episode; in another recent episode, he suggested that some of those killed in German concentration camps were killed by other European countries and then blamed on Germany after the fact (I guess the accusations of him being a denier of that atrocity were true after all); he also recently said (both in this show and on The Tom W... more
I like Scott Horton and Darryl Cooper and thought I would like this show. Been listening since the first episode. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, it’s just boring. It mostly consists of contrarian talking points and Scott interrupting Darryl at every opportunity.

I still kind of like Scott and Daryl but definitely don’t want to hear much from either of them. I... more
Great if you want to hear two dudes cry like the sky is falling. Its nothing but doomerism.

Two seasoned hosts explore the psychology of conflict, power, and policy through a libertarian-leaning lens, often challenging mainstream narratives about war, geopolitics, and economic policy. Episodes frequently feature deep-dives into foreign affairs, defense procurement, and state narratives, with a mix of historical context, contemporary analysis, and provocative takes. Notable strengths include a dense, idea-forward discussion pace and a willingness to entertain controversial viewpoints; a potential drawback is that conversations can run long and assume the listener follows ongoing stories. Overall, the show is likely to appeal to listeners who enjoy critical, anti-establishment takes on war, policy, and media narratives, and to poten... more
