  • 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.

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.
4/17/26 Michele McPhee on the Unanswered Questions about the Boston Marathon Bombing and Why They Still Matter
Q: What are the major points of controversy regarding FBI handling and informants?
The guest argues there were failures to recognize informants among leads, a pattern of cover-up with conflicting reports about surveillance and arrests, and a broader critique of accountability failures within federal agencies.
4/17/26 Michele McPhee on the Unanswered Questions about the Boston Marathon Bombing and Why They Still Matter
Q: How did the Tsarnaev brothers enter the United States and what are the key international links involved?
McPhee explains visas via Ankara, Turkey, and connects the family to a network involving Graham Fuller and other international figures, suggesting complex ties across intelligence and Chechen networks that warrant deeper scrutiny.
4/9/26 Matt Wolfson on Underappreciated Danger of the United Arab Emirates
Q: Tell us more about their support for the fighters in Western Sudan and how that's going now.
He describes a proxy government and a militia backed by a billionaire tied to the UAE, funded with money and weapons, fueling a civil war with massive displacement and hunger, illustrating how UAE-backed groups operate to secure resources while destabilizing the region.
4/9/26 Matt Wolfson on Underappreciated Danger of the United Arab Emirates
Q: Let me ask you to please elaborate a little bit about their role in Libya.
Wolfson explains that UAE involvement in Libya extended beyond surface-level support, funding mercenaries, and coordinating with Israel-aligned actors; he connects this to a broader strategy of de-Islamicizing societies under modernization pretexts and notes how the UAE leveraged influence networks to shape outcomes in Libya.
