  • 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.

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.
6/12/26 Jason Jones on Life for Christians in the West Bank and Gaza
Q: What practical steps is your organization taking to address the situation on the ground?
The organization publishes daily updates, issues press releases, and plans public campaigns and billboards to draw attention and pressure policymakers to prioritize ending settlements and protecting ancient Christian communities.
6/12/26 Jason Jones on Life for Christians in the West Bank and Gaza
Q: What sparked your decision to focus on Christians in the West Bank and Gaza?
Jones explains that his firsthand visits and evacuations of wounded Christians motivated him to document abuses and advocate for protection of minority communities, framing it as a humanitarian duty rather than a partisan issue.
6/11/26 Eric Fowler on the Latest Form of Illegal Government Surveillance
Q: Can you explain how the flock camera system works and why it raises Fourth Amendment concerns?
The system reads license plates, but it also collects a broad set of identifiers from the car and its occupants through connected devices, creating a comprehensive, long-term record of movements; the data is allegedly public, yet the scale and permanence of storage raise questions about warrants and privacy rights.
4/30/26 Daniel Davis on What’s Been Happening in Ukraine
Q: Give us a short synopsis real quick, like the briefest that you feel like on Iran and where we are. And what do you think are the prospects for Trump figuring out a way to cut and run here for us?
The guest frames Iran as entrenched in sanctions and capable of absorbing pressure, arguing that both Iran and the U.S. face a stalemate with blockades and economic strain; he suggests that a negotiated settlement is possible if both sides reassess costs, but remains skeptical about a quick or easy exit for the U.S., given strategic stakes and global economic ripple effects.
