In this clip from episode 2778 of The Tom Woods Show, Scott Horton questions JD Vance’s political motivations, his connections to the national security establishment, and his role in negotiations with Iran.

Horton argues that Vance may be presenting himself as an opponent of foreign wars for political advantage, while also criticizing his past rhetoric about Iran’s nuclear program. The discussion also touches on Palantir, Ukraine, Gaza, and the broader relationship between political ambition and U.S. foreign policy.

In this clip from episode 2778 of The Tom Woods Show, Scott Horton discusses Ukraine’s conscription strategy during the Russo-Ukrainian war and its connection to the country’s demographic crisis.

Horton argues that Ukraine has prioritized keeping younger men—particularly those aged 18 to 25—away from the front lines, while sending older men into combat. He contrasts this approach with Lindsey Graham’s calls to lower the conscription age and send younger troops to the front.

The result, Horton argues, is a grim conflict shaped not only by military objectives, but also by Ukraine's declining birth rate and long-term demographic survival.

Stefan Molyneux, a familiar name to most of my listeners, hosted the world's largest philosophy show until he was suddenly deplatformed everywhere. He had thought: I have the truth on my side, so who can stop me? But they want you to repeat -- or at least not outwardly object to -- a series of absurdities, and that makes a truth-teller dangerous. Happily, nowadays people regularly say far more provocative things than anything Stefan was punished for. He and I discuss this and plenty more.

Stefan reflects on the rise of FreeDomain, his early work in practical philosophy, and the experience of being removed from major platforms. We discuss how the Overton window has shifted, why ideas that were once treated as beyond the pale are now openly discussed, and how deplatforming scattered his arguments more widely.

We also talk about Stefan’s years filling in for Peter Schiff, the growth of his “Truth About” series, and the entrepreneurial lessons he learned while building an audience without institutional support.

The conversation then turns to childhood, family life, peaceful parenting, the non-aggression principle, and Stefan’s belief that social and political problems must be addressed at their root. He explains why he sees the family as the foundation of a voluntary society and why entrepreneurship may offer young people a path toward greater independence.

Finally, Stefan discusses the media’s treatment of controversial ideas, the difficulty of debating people who refuse to engage honestly, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Scott Horton joins us to discuss the increasingly intractable Russia-Ukraine war, and the persistent problem of the Israel Lobby, whose sins are largely unknown to the American public.

(Ep. 2778 of the Tom Woods Show)

Why won't sanctions end the war — and why won't the next round be any different? Scott explains why Russia's core demands haven't shifted since 2022, why recapturing lost territory remains a fantasy for Ukraine, and what Trump's Patriot missile license and warmer tone toward Zelensky actually signal. With Europe unwilling to pressure Kyiv toward concessions and Moscow unwilling to stop short of Odessa, the war grinds on — and escalating strikes only risk making it worse.

On Israel and Iran: the high-profile spats between Washington and Tel Aviv are coordinated theater, not genuine friction. Backchannel talks with Iran are ongoing, and Trump's "MOU canceled" moment was an off-the-cuff bluff, not a real policy decision. Meanwhile, the hardliner crowd demanding Iran surrender its nuclear program, its missiles, and its regional allies is demanding an unconditional surrender America has not come close to earning.

Then: what the killing of Khamenei actually unleashed, why air power keeps failing to win wars, and the direct blowback attack that hit Austin, Texas the very night the war in Iran began.

Scott also walks through his two new Scott Horton Academy courses — the second half of his U.S.-Russia Cold War series and a brand-new deep dive into the hidden history of AIPAC and the Israel Lobby. Use code WOODS at scotthortonacademy.com for a special discount this week.

NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, pushed a 2-year rent freeze — and everyone cheered. But what happens when government just "barks orders" without thinking about economic reality?

Tom Woods breaks down the danger of the "military model of society": the assumption that mandating prices is all it takes to fix housing. No supply constraints. No incentive effects. Just a bullhorn.

Critics of rent control aren't landlord lackeys. They're asking the question nobody else wants to answer — what could go wrong?

Prices in housing, education, and healthcare keep rising — and it's no coincidence those are the sectors with the highest government involvement.

Where government stays out — like LASIK and plastic surgery for instance — prices actually fall. Tom Woods breaks down why top-down "solutions" only create bubbles, and why 2008 was the proof.

A U.S. survey asked respondents from multiple racial groups to rate each group on a scale of 0–100. Every single group ranked itself highest — and every group except whites, consistently ranked whites the lowest. Meanwhile, whites rated all groups roughly the same. What does that mean for the future of our society?

Spencer Pratt gave a Fourth of July speech — and Tom Woods didn't see it coming.

From drug addicts in LA playgrounds to Mamdani's strategy of cultural demoralization, Pratt's take was surprisingly sharp.

Are the "destroyers" winning simply because good people are being demoralized into giving up? Tom breaks it down.

"Democratic socialism" has come back into fashion -- with the monetary authority having pushed prices up, ordinary people have concluded that "capitalism," which makes it possible for them not to be living in the dirt, has "failed." Keith Knight has 64 arguments against it, but we discuss about 11.
