  • Love Scott’s intelligent

    and studied assessments- BUT this podcast uploads a week after his measured takes on any current news. Disappointed that I have to go to yucktube for Current insights from him on the news that happened today. Scott Horton is rad and hella smart. Hoping the podcast isn’t neutered in the future.

  • Episodes starting mid-interview

    Five stars for the content, but episodes have recently started out with Scott or the guest in the middle of a sentence, so it seems like the first few minutes or so are getting cut out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7/3/26 Michael Boldin on How the American Revolution Has Been Betrayed
Q: What good is the American Revolution anyway, and do you have any opinions about that?
Boldin explains that the Revolution was a radical shift in people's duties, sentiments, and the understanding that government is a limited, delegated authority; it was not just about independence from Britain but about maintaining liberty against the creeping expansion of centralized power, which he argues continues to influence debates on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
6/26/26 Brandon Weichert on the Likely Legacy of Trump’s War with Iran
Q: So first, welcome to the show. And second, why don't you please introduce yourself and tell us who all you are?
Weichert describes himself as a geopolitical analyst with experience on Capitol Hill, a long career in national security journalism, and a focus on geotechnology and geopolitical trends.
6/26/26 Bud Cummins on the ATF’s Killing of Bryan Malinowski
Q: On the central question of whether Bryan Malinowski was a hobbyist or a dealer who needed a license, how does the evidence presented shape that distinction?
The discussion emphasizes that the line is subjective and not clearly defined; despite Malinowski's high volume of gun purchases, there was no definitive evidence he violated licensing rules, yet this ambiguity was leveraged to justify the raid, raising concerns about proportionality and due process.
7/3/26 Kyle Anzalone on Where Things Actually Stand in the Middle East
Q: Tell me, what's the latest from the Houthis in Yemen?
Kyle explains a development where a Houthi aircraft in Iran was reportedly harassed by a Saudi fighter jet upon arriving for Ayatollah funeral ceremonies, with a warning of renewed conflict if airspace incursions continue.
6/19/26 William Van Wagenen on What It’s Like on the Ground in Lebanon
Q: And how much of southwestern Syria has Israel occupied, and what's their current relationship with Jilani?
Israel controls a limited but strategically significant portion of territory in the far south and maintains a complex, often covert, relationship with Jalani's forces, while publicly denouncing them; the situation is asymmetric and highly fluid, with ongoing bombardments and political maneuvering.
