  • 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.

8/19/26 Arta Moeini: Trump’s Iran War Is More Dangerous than People Realize
Q: And how does this relate to the potential for a reset with the United States?
He argues for a Nixonian-style reset, recognizing Iran as a sovereign state and pursuing practical arrangements that respect Iran's autonomy while advancing mutual interests, rather than expecting regime collapse.
8/19/26 Arta Moeini: Trump’s Iran War Is More Dangerous than People Realize
Q: Tell me more about that.
The guest explains that Sistani sought a political rather than purely religious role, and that there is a nuanced balance of religious authority and state power in Iran, which complicates simplistic characterizations of a religious war.
8/18/26 Ron Paul on the Iran War, the National Debt and Flock Cameras
Q: Can you give us sort of the thumbnail sketch of your take on where we are in this current conflict?
Paul argues the situation is a predictable mess driven by non-constitutional interventions, criticizing the expansion of warfare and stressing a non-interventionist, constitutionally limited foreign policy.
8/19/26 Tim Shorrock on Trump’s Policy Towards North and South Korea
Q: What do you think about the possibility of a two-state approach vs a unified Korea?
The guest explains that two separate states with a peace agreement could be possible, reducing the emphasis on reunification and focusing on security guarantees and an end to the war.
8/19/26 Tim Shorrock on Trump’s Policy Towards North and South Korea
Q: Please tell me, sir.
Tim asks for clarification or continuation of the discussion on diplomacy with North Korea.
