8/5/22 Dan McKnight on Defend the Guard’s Momentum and the Death of Zawahiri
Dan McKnight of Bring Our Troops Home is back to give an update on the movement to pass Defend the Guard Legislation. Defend the Guard aims to prohibit the Federal Government from deploying National Guard troops to foreign combat operations without a formal declaration of war. The movement backing these bills is led by veterans of the Terror Wars who just want lawmakers to respect the oath they all swore to the Constitution. McKnight gives an update on the effort and explains how you can help out. They then discuss the drone strike in Kabul two weeks ago that allegedly killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri. If true, McKnight says the last genuine justification for a War on Terror is gone.
Discussed on the show:
- Defend the Guard
- Bring Our Troops Home
- Ten Seven Club
- Leadership Class
- Kill Bin Laden by Dalton Fury (Thomas Greer)
- “This Air Force commando called in 688,000 pounds of bombs in one battle” (Task & Purpose)
- Pat McGeehan for House of Delegates
Dan McKnight is the founder and Chairman of Idahoans to Bring Our Troops Home. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, three years active duty with the U.S. Army and ten years with the Idaho Army National Guard, including a one-year deployment to Afghanistan in 2006.

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.

Eli Clifton, National Security Reporter for ThinkProgress.org, discusses his co-authored report “Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America;” naming the names of the organizations, bankrollers and bloggers that drive the fear and loathing of Muslims; why frenzies of bigotry and intolerance tend to disappear almost overnight, once the spell wears off; and a few positive signs, like Herman Cain and Rick Perry eschewing anti-Islamic rhetoric in their presidential primary campaigns.

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.

Jason Ditz, managing news editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the latest events in Libya; Col. Gadhafi’s schoolboy crush on Condoleezza Rice; the massacre of loyalist soldiers, including some who were hospitalized for injuries; British special forces “boots on the ground” in a door-to-door manhunt for Gadhafi; parallels with Iraq in 2003, when the Bush administration was gloating about a seemingly easy victory and couldn’t imagine an effective insurgency; and US machinations to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan for another generation.

Pepe Escobar, journalist and author of Obama Does Globalistan, discusses his article “R2P is now Right 2 Plunder” about the great fortunes to be made rebuilding Libya and extracting its natural resources; how al-Qaeda operative Abdelhakim Belhadj led the rebel onslaught on Tripoli; concern in Washington about the outcome of NATO regime change – helping install a Taliban-like regime in N.

08/25/11 – Will Grigg – The Scott Horton Show
Will Grigg, blogger and author of Liberty in Eclipse, discusses the AP news story about the CIA/NYPD joint venture into “mapping” minority neighborhoods – essentially domestic spying; rendering moot the prohibitions on domestic CIA intelligence gathering and military law enforcement; why recruiting government informants through blackmail is a sign of creeping totalitarianism; why Americans are not protected by the rule of law, so long as the government can ignore it at will; and why the real threat to liberty is not from terrorists abroad, but from government at home.
