Bob Murphy joins Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton to discuss the U.S. debt situation, rising interest rates, and the Treasury’s reliance on shorter-term borrowing. They also talk about the dollar’s role as a reserve currency, Japan’s rising rates, and how these shifts could affect demand for Treasuries. They then cover possible responses to the debt problem, including inflation, default, and spending cuts. Finally, they discuss inflation’s social effects and the impact of AI and automation on jobs, productivity, and inequality.

Darryl Cooper & Scott Horton discuss reports about Israeli influence on Trump and question the reliability of the intelligence while focusing on the political significance of the timing. They also examine what these episodes suggest about Trump’s relationship with his advisers and the broader public image they create. They then turn to the issue of strain on U.S. military personnel, including reports of poor morale and suicides aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, and they connect that to the pressures of prolonged deployments and war. They also discuss changing American support for Israel, inflation and debt, and the effects of economic instability on saving and social trust. Later, they touch on media, corruption, pardons, and influence peddling in the current political climate. They close with audience questions, including a short discussion about faith and returning to religion.

In this episode, we discuss the Idaho fire season and how close a blaze came to Darryl's home, as well as the recent Tom Woods cruise, an unexpected meeting with Yakov Smirnoff, and Dave Smith’s debate performance. We then spend much of the episode on the Oklahoma City bombing and a new documentary series, focusing on informants, media narratives, and how the story shaped our views. We also react to reporting on Iran that discusses a possible ground invasion and troop recruitment ideas, and we connect that to broader concerns about escalating war planning. Finally, we discuss Syria, where the U.S. has removed the al-Qaeda-led government from its terrorism list, and we end with listener questions about debates, Israel-Palestine, and continuing to argue these issues publicly.

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.
