7/1/22 Diego Rivera on Defend the Guard and the Art of Effective Activism
Scott interviews Diego Rivera, a veteran and activist, to talk about Defend the Guard legislation. The bill, which has been introduced in nearly all the State Legislatures, aims to block the deployment of National Guard troops to foreign combat operations unless Congress actually declares war. Rivera details the new initiative Bring Our Troops Home, the group behind Defend the Guard, is rolling out to train people in the art of effective political activism. Scott and Rivera discuss how seemingly powerless groups with no access can effectively bring about political change.

08/29/11 – Robin Koerner – The Scott Horton Show
Robin Koerner, founder of WatchingAmerica.com and contributor to the Huffington Post, discusses his article “If You Love Peace, Become a ‘Blue Republican’ (Just for a Year);” why Leftist Obama supporters should shake off their stupor and support Ron Paul for president in 2012; the Founding Fathers’ conservative liberalism (and why it should cast doubt on the meaning of current political labels); the political “moderates” in favor of empire and central banking, and the “fringe” element in favor of peace and sound money; why Obama’s only available counterattack against candidate Ron Paul in the general presidential election would shatter the false Democrat-Republican political paradigm; and why skeptics who disagree win Paul’s personal views should take comfort in his support for the rights of individuals.

08/29/11 – John Glaser – The Scott Horton Show
John Glaser, Assistant Editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the NY Times article “U.S. Tactics in Libya May Be a Model for Other Efforts” about a supposed victory for the “Obama doctrine;” resurrecting the “America is a force for good” meme, where foreign policy exists solely to prevent humanitarian disasters and spread freedom and democracy; the Libyan rebels’ racist reprisals against black Africans, failing to differentiate between pro-Gadhafi mercenaries and migrant workers; and why the overt media sympathy for the rebel cause will sour once Gadhafi is dead or deposed for good.

08/26/11 – Robert P. Murphy – The Scott Horton Show
Bob Murphy discusses the kernel of truth in the parody of Paul Krugman’s
“destruction boosts the economy” theory (wouldn’t that make Haiti among
the world’s richest countries?); Ron Paul’s plan for gold-backed
currencies to compete with Federal Reserve dollars; how a gold standard
limits the government’s ability to inflate the currency and make wars;
how artificially low interest rates create unsustainable consumption;
the new economic bubble emerging in sovereign debt, where risk and
interest rates remain out of whack; how the US government continues
accumulating debt by leaps and bounds; and why things will get
interesting, in a bad way, when interest rates increase.
