Scott interviews journalist Ramzy Baroud about what’s happening in Gaza, how the so-called “ceasefire” has impacted how many Palestinians Israel kills every day, the broader moves towards ethnic cleansing and more.

Following reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to restart Israel’s aggressive war against Iran, the Iranian Foreign Minister said the Islamic Republic is prepared for conflict. 

“America and Israel have tested their attack on Iran, and this attack and strategy faced extreme failure. If they repeat it, they will face the same results,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday. “We are ready for any choice. We don’t desire a war but we are ready for it.”

A president is kidnapped, the government remains, and we’re told it isn’t regime change. We pull back the curtain on what our guest calls “regime changeover,” a strategy that uses spectacle and lawfare to force leverage without admitting occupation. From sanctions that harden national unity to a reworked indictment against Nicolás Maduro that quietly retreats from early cartel claims, we dissect how narratives are built, sold, and then reshaped when facts don’t fit the script.

We get specific about why Venezuela resists the usual playbook. The Bolivarian civil-military structure blunts elite-driven coups, and...

A pre-dawn post, a capital in darkness, and a president in cuffs aboard a U.S. ship—what started as a “one-night raid” is already morphing into something far bigger. We unpack how the strike on Venezuela unfolded, why the official story leaves key gaps, and what it means when the White House says, without hesitation, that we’ll “run the country” until a “judicious transition.” If that sounds like regime change and occupation, it’s because that’s exactly how it’s being sold.

We walk through the mechanics of the operation—air defenses knocked out, a citywide...

In an interview, a senior Israeli security analyst said that Iran is attempting to avoid war and conflict with the US and Israel. 

“Stability serves [Iran] well, because even when there is no immediate existential threat, instability makes the regime feel challenged,” Danny Citrinowicz, a fellow in the Iran Program at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) and a former head of the Iran desk in the IDF Intelligence Directorate, told yNet

North Korea claimed it conducted a successful test of a hypersonic missile.

On Jan 3, 2026 the US sent forces into Venezuela to arrest Maduro and in the process sent a message to the world-global power dynamics have changed.

The Delta Doctrine

Headlines shout certainty, but the fine print tells a different story. We dig into three flashpoints—Gaza, Venezuela, and Ukraine—where big claims mask unresolved terms, blurred red lines, and mounting risks that rarely make the chyron.

First, Gaza. The soundbite that Hamas “agreed to disarm” collapses a phased, conditional process into a false binary. Negotiators accepted a ceasefire and hostage exchange while leaving timelines, enforcement, and political conditions open. We unpack what mediators said at the time, why U.S. officials flagged unanswered questions, and how that gap has been spun to score points rather t...

Scott interviews USS Liberty survivor, author and spokesperson Phil Tourney. They talk about what really happened the day of the attack, the infuriating lengths the US government went to ensure nobody would find out about it and the continued effort by figures and groups in the conservative movement to shut down discussion about this heinous chapter of US-Israeli relations.

Discussed on the show:

On COI #861, Kyle Anzalone breaks down the latest news from Venezuela, Ukraine, and the Middle East.

The weekend should have been quiet. Instead, a Hanukkah celebration on a Sydney beach turned into a massacre, a Muslim bystander tackled a shooter, and within hours the tragedy was weaponized. We dig into what happened, why the early “false flag” whispers took hold, and how Benjamin Netanyahu used the moment to argue that supporting a Palestinian state is the same as fueling antisemitism. That framing doesn’t just poison debate—it endangers Jewish communities by collapsing criticism of state policy into bigotry against a people.

Discussed on the show:

A near miss by millimeters, a sniper who waited, and a teenager’s digital footprint that should have set off alarms—our conversation with investigative reporter Ken Silva digs into the attempted assassinations against Donald Trump, the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and the enduring mystery of the January 6 pipe bombs. We trace what the investigations missed, where the public record contradicts official lines, and how secrecy fuels the very conspiracies authorities claim to fight.

We start with Butler: the rooftop angle outside a tight 150‑yard perimeter, the lack of snipers on a usable roof, and a timeli...

What happens when conscience collides with command? We dig into the duty to refuse illegal orders, why “just following orders” isn’t a shield under U.S. military law, and how real-world pressures push service members toward compliance even when red flags are waving. Drawing on the Nuremberg legacy and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, we lay out the reasonable person standard, the gray zones operators face, and the information gaps created by tempo, classification, and deference to the chain of command.

They explore some of these stories and discuss the level of attention these are getting in the Western press and the broader geopolitical context behind this consequential regime change.

Discussed on the show:

A kitchen joke about tomato sauce quickly gives way to the hard edge of politics as we unpack a growing fracture on the right. Trump’s volleys at Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie aren’t just personality drama; they point to a deeper shift toward a larger security‑state posture and a party that now tolerates the same speech controls it once condemned.

A ceasefire that looks good on paper means little when people are living under lockdowns and raids. We open with the West Bank, where daily operations near schools and reports of soldiers quartering in homes reshape civilian life and hollow out the promise of “stability.” The Gaza story is no better: UNICEF’s plan to vaccinate young children falters when syringes and solar refrigeration get blocked, turning a humanitarian fix into a diplomatic fault line. Pair that with silence from Washington on creeping annexation and you can see why trust is evaporating across the region.

We bring James Carden of The Realist Review back to map how we got here—starting with the choices made in 1992, when Washington bet on an inevitable democratic future and ignored repeated warnings from Moscow.

What happens when the language of “protecting the homeland” is used to sell a new regime change next door? We sit down with Kelley Vlahos to map the quiet return of neoconservative logic through a Venezuela push that’s packaged for a nationalist audience. The pitch is simple and potent: cartels, chaos, and a dictator at our doorstep. The implications are anything but simple.

In war, State power is pushed to its ultimate, and, under the slogans of “defense” and “emergency,” it can impose a tyranny upon the public such as might be openly resisted in time of peace. War thus provides many benefits to a State, and indeed every modern war has brought to the warring peoples a permanent legacy of increased State burdens upon society.
