2/24/22 Hassan El-Tayyab on the Effort to End the War in Yemen
Scott is joined by Hassan El-Tayyab of the Friends Committee on National Legislation to discuss Yemen. Despite the rapidly unfolding situation in Ukraine, Scott and El-Tayyab agree that what’s happening in Yemen is still the worst humanitarian crisis taking place in the world. And the war can only carry on with the continued support of the U.S. Government. El-Tayyab details how some Americans are working to get their government to stop supporting the Saudi’s immoral war of aggression.
Discussed on the show:
- “Lawmakers take action on Biden’s failed Yemen policy” (Responsible Statecraft)
- 1-833-STOPWAR
Hassan El-Tayyab is a musician and peace activist, who works as the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

08/31/10 – Robert Naiman – The Scott Horton Show
Robert Naiman, Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy, discusses Obama’s commendable follow-through on reducing troop levels in Iraq and (at least rhetorically) standing by the 2011 withdrawal date, the huge increase in troop numbers and casualties in Afghanistan since the Bush administration, the end of finite wars as U.S. foreign policy remains on a permanent war footing and the much-exaggerated death of the antiwar movement.

08/31/10 – Lew Rockwell – The Scott Horton Show
Lew Rockwell, founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, discusses how central banks print fiat money to pay for world wars that would otherwise be impossible to finance, the enormous resources at the U.S. government’s disposal to delay an economic reckoning, why WalMart is a net gain to society, the division between those who live off the state and those who support it (albeit unwillingly) and why more super-rich dynastic families are needed to compete for power with the state.

08/30/10 – Phyllis Bennis – The Scott Horton Show

08/30/10 – Fred Branfman – The Scott Horton Show
Fred Branfman, author of the Alternet article ‘Mass Assassinations Lie at the Heart of America’s Military Strategy in the Muslim World,’ discusses several common-sense reasons ‘why they hate us’ (it isn’t our freedom), how the ‘McChrystal ratio’ exposes the bankruptcy of COIN strategy, the incredibly broad scope — both in number of forces employed and geographic space — of U.S. assassination policy, why (unlike CIA ops) these killings don’t require Presidential approval or reports to Congress, how Petraeus’s strategy seems focused on his short term career goals, why taking on 1.3 billion Muslims is national suicide and how the upcoming Republican midterm election sweep will hasten U.S. economic and societal collapse.
Here is the 3 minute video of John Pilger interviewing former CIA officer Duane Clarridge, who is presently advising CIA assassination efforts in Pakistan.

08/27/10 – Alexander Abdo – The Scott Horton Show
Alexander Abdo, a Fellow in the ACLU’s National Security Project, discusses the ‘new normal’ of institutionalized Bush administration lawlessness, why we should expect other countries to mimic U.S. assertions of authority to commit international extrajudicial killings, the government’s failure to cite a legal justification for killing U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, the media disclosures from Leon Panetta and John Brennan about a government hit list of American citizens and why cops now have the right to use GPS to track anyone’s car for any (or no) reason.

08/27/10 – Robert Higgs – The Scott Horton Show
Robert Higgs, senior fellow at the Independent Institute, discusses the widening gap between public and private sector pay, an increase in affluent military towns, the disappearance of traditional checks on state power and predation and the incremental ‘ratchet effect’ of governmental authority that increases ‘temporarily’ during wartime but never fully recedes.

08/27/10 – Gareth Porter – The Scott Horton Show
Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses Obama’s refusal to declare a ‘red line‘ on Iran’s nuclear program, Robert Gates’s insistence that Iran’s low enriched uranium is tantamount to a nuclear weapon, the abundance of evidence that Obama is not a secret dove and how Gates’s bipartisan tenure allows him to contradict Obama without consequence.

08/27/10 – Rep. Ron Paul – The Scott Horton Show
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) discusses his article ‘Mosque Demagoguery Is Bipartisan‘ and the linkage between property rights and First Amendment rights, why the abandonment of the dollar will lead to an inflationary depression and why Dennis Kucinich’s anti-assassination bill is a redundancy (but deserving of support nonetheless).
