Recent Episodes of the Scott Horton Show
8/20/21 Daniel McAdams on Hubris of the Foreign Policy Establishment
Scott talks with Daniel McAdams about his recent appearance on RT, where he challenged the Western Media’s narrative about China. McAdams says they have it backward, criticizing China for its best actions, such as economic engagement, while seemingly wanting to import the worst of China’s policies, like social credit scores. McAdams then speaks about how those in the Foreign Policy Establishment exist in an echo chamber. And that even when he had access to classified material, McAdams believes he was better informed by reading open-source websites like Antiwar.com.

- McAdams interviewed on RT
- Transcript of Biden’s Interview with George Stephanopoulos
