11/12/21 Hassan El-Tayyab on the Many Ways Congress Can End the War in Yemen

by Scott Horton | Nov 17, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

This last Sunday, Hassan El-Tayyab of the Friends Committee On National Legislation joined Antiwar Radio to talk with Scott about Yemen. El-Tayyab explains the numerous ways Congress could end the War in Yemen. He also points out that there are a solid number of Senators and Representatives who have demonstrated some degree of disapproval for our involvement in the war. Both Scott and El-Tayyab agree that real results could be close, and urge listeners to get involved and help push this antiwar effort over the finish line. Discussed on the show: “Iran’s Small Hand in Yemen” (Carnegie...

11/12/21 Dave DeCamp with Updates on Russia, Iraq, Yemen and Taiwan

by Scott Horton | Nov 16, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott is joined by Antiwar.com’s Dave DeCamp for a rapid fire review of what’s been happening around the world. They start with Russia where the U.S. has told its European allies an invasion of Ukraine could be imminent. DeCamp explains that, if there’s any truth to the Russian troop movements within Russia, it’s likely a response to NATO military activity in the Black Sea region. Next they discuss Iraq. The Iraqi Prime Minister was apparently the target of a drone attack that plenty of hawks were quickly, and baselessly, blaming on Iran. Then they talk about Yemen, where the war appears to...

11/12/21 Daniel Davis: We Shouldn’t Send American Soldiers to Die for Taiwan

by Scott Horton | Nov 15, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott interviews Daniel Davis about an article he recently published at 19fortyfive.com about Taiwan. Davis does believe there is a solid chance that China will invade Taiwan. At the same time, he does not think there is anything the U.S. can actually do about it. Davis explains that, while the American military is much more powerful on a global scale, the Chinese have enough firepower pointed off their coast to overwhelm the U.S. Navy if it gets close to Taiwan. Scott and Davis agree that it would be a costly and ultimately doomed fight. And both stress that the National Security “experts”...

11/12/21 Daniel Larison on Iran, Sanctions and Great Power Competition

by Scott Horton | Nov 14, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott brings Daniel Larison back to the show to discuss a handful of articles he’s written recently for Antiwar.com. First they discuss his piece pointing out that there is no legal basis for any action the U.S. takes against Iran, a fact that ought to be brought up more in our public discourse. Scott and Larison also discuss how American foreign policy itself is a rather large incentive for Iran to become a nuclear power. We’ve killed leaders who gave up their nukes. And those who have them, we tend to just criticize from afar. Next they tackle sanctions. The pain caused by American...

11/11/21 End of the Empire – Episode 6 – Evergrande and the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

by Scott Horton | Nov 14, 2021 | End of the Empire

Scott and Pete returned on Thursday for End of the Empire episode six. Pete gives an explanation of Evergrande, the Chinese real estate company that is just barely avoiding default thanks to the CCP. They then discuss Scott’s recent interview with geopolitical author Peter Zeihan who believes the American isolationists have won and that the absence of American military power on the global stage will mean widespread war. Scott gives reasons for why he thinks Zeihan has this backwards. Finally, Scott and Pete give their takes on the Kyle Rittenhouse situation in light of new information that...

11/12/21 Hunter DeRensis on America’s History of Hating War Profiteers

by Scott Horton | Nov 13, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott is joined by Hunter DeRensis to discuss a recent longform article he wrote for The American Conservative. The article was the culmination of months of research DeRensis did on the history of the American public’s perception of weapons manufacturers. DeRensis identifies the period between the World Wars as being the age with the most resistance to the war profiteers. Interestingly, that resistance was largely led by middle-class conservatives. Scott and DeRensis point to Joe Kent, who’s running for Congress in Washington State, as an example of the return of this right-wing resistance...

11/4/21 Peter Zeihan on American Power and China’s Coming Collapse

by Scott Horton | Nov 5, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott interviews author and geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan. Zeihan does not believe China will be a nation state ten years from now. One reason, he argues, is that China’s economy is completely dependent on the disappearing American presence keeping the peace on the world's oceans. This, of course, leads to a back and forth between him and Scott over just how much America’s presence overseas has been disappearing these last few decades. Zeihan also points to the policies the CCP used to regulate the birthrate, which he explains has led to an insufficient number of childbearing aged people...

10/29/21 Ryan McMaken on the Economy, the Money Supply and the Labor Shortage

by Scott Horton | Nov 4, 2021 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott is joined by Ryan McMaken from the Mises Institute to talk about the state of the economy. McMaken describes how we are still living with the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis as well as the response to it. However, while the government created a ton of new money back then, they took steps to avoid flooding the entire economy with those new dollars. But McMaken explains that those steps have been absent during the aggressive money printing that’s occurred since the pandemic began. Something that has likely played a major role in the inflating prices of goods we are seeing now....
