EP:54 - Iran War Restarting?
2w ago01:14:33Summary readyDarryl Cooper & Scott Horton discuss the war with Iran, arguing that escalation offers little for either side while major obstacles remain to any durable settlement. They also examine the weaker-than-expected military position, political pressure around the conflict, and the possibility of a limited exchange of strikes rather than a full ground war. They then turn to Israel, Iran, and U.S. politics, including Rahm Emanuel’s speech in Israel, the Democratic Party’s position on Israel-Palestine, and efforts to keep Israeli policy insulated from changes in American public opinion. They also discuss AIPAC and related attempts to deepen the Israel relationship within U.S. institutions. Finally, they review Syria and Abu Muhammad al-Jolani’s background, including his ties to al-Qaeda in Iraq, and connect that to patterns in U.S. policy toward Islamist factions in the region. They also answer listener questions on Ukraine and other topics and mention several ongoing book and course projects.

SummaryEP:49 - The Trump Assassination Plots, with Ken Silva
Jun 701:23:12Summary readyKen Silva joins Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton to discuss his new book on the Trump assassination plots, especially the Butler, Pennsylvania attempt and the later Palm Beach attempt. Discussion focuses on security failures at Butler, including equipment problems, communication gaps, missed warnings about Thomas Crooks, and questions about an unidentified ATF agent and the timing of the shooting. Silva also discussed Crooks’ background, the limited release of FBI and congressional records, and his view that the official account does not fully match the available notes and testimony. The second half of the conversation covers Ryan Routh’s attempt on Trump in Florida, and the interview closes with Silva saying the alleged Iranian plots involving Asif Merchant and Farhad Shakeri do not appear to be direct, operational government attacks.
