| 10/12/26 |  EP:65 - Q&A Show | We (Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton) answer audience questions about our research and writing methods, including how we build from survey books, follow bibliographies, take notes, and draft by producing more material than we keep. We also discuss current and historical foreign policy topics such as Yemen, Gaza, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, with attention to how U.S. and regional actors are described in those conflicts. We also talk about evaluating political and media figures, including the importance of checking claims against background and source material. Later, we discuss libertarian ideas, campaign finance, the Fed, and the limits of principle-only politics, then move into Christianity and ethics, including charity, humility, and responsibility toward others.

| 9/25/26 |  EP:63 - AQ at the UN | In this episode, we discuss the visit of Syrian leader Ahmed Al Sharaa (formerly(?) of Al Qaeda) to the UN... but near the end! We start by discussing Germany’s experience at the end of World War I, focusing on the collapse of state authority, postwar food shortages, and the rise of militias and political violence. We also examine the Freikorps, anti-communist repression, and the fear that chaos could return at any moment. We compare this period with later events, including the end of the Cold War, Russia in the 1990s, and debates over NATO expansion and promises to post-Soviet states. We then turn to current news topics, including speeches at the United Nations, the situation in Syria and the Golan Heights, claims about Iran and U.S. policy, AI-generated misinformation in military decision-making, and recent allegations of racially motivated hangings in the United States.

| 9/18/26 |  EP:62 - Special Guest: Bill Buppert, on Iran | In this episode we speak with Bill Bupert of the Libertarian Institute about Saudi Arabia’s military limits and why wealthy states can still struggle to build effective conventional forces. We discuss oil wealth, imported labor, hierarchical structures, maintenance problems, and the difficulty of reporting bad news in military systems. We also talk about how modern war challenges large institutions, especially with drones, precision weapons, and missile warfare. A major part of the conversation focuses on the limits of U.S. missile defense, the vulnerability of expensive systems, and the risks faced by carrier strike groups and other large surface fleets in contested waters. We further examine Afghanistan, Yemen, Iran, and broader U.S. intervention patterns. We close with a discussion of logistics, corruption, readiness, and Bill’s work on irregular warfare and military reform.

| 9/11/26 |  EP:61 - The Terror Wars Rage On | Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton discuss the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and how the post-9/11 years shaped our views on war, government, and military service. They also talk about Iraq and Afghanistan, including the shift from Afghanistan to Iraq, the use of 9/11 to justify broader war, and the relationship between soldiers and political leaders. They further examine blowback and attacks on the United States in the context of American foreign policy in the Middle East, including support for Israel and intervention in the region. Later we turn to Gaza, the October 7 attack, Netanyahu’s handling of intelligence, the Hannibal Directive, and the effect of the attack on Israeli politics and regional diplomacy. They also cover the Houthis, the Red Sea, the war in Yemen, and the limits of Saudi military power. The episode ends with updates on upcoming interviews, book work, and recent articles and projects.
