About

In this episode, Josie sits down with antiwar commentator Scott Horton to unpack the roots of the current Middle East conflict, from U.S. policy toward Iran and the legacy of the Iraq War to the influence of neoconservative strategy and Israeli politics. The conversation explores competing narratives around Iran's nuclear program, the "Wes Clark seven countries" theory, and the role of ideology and religion, including Zionism and Christian perspectives, in shaping foreign policy and public opinion.
