On Monday, October 4th, Scott took part in a debate organized by Gene Epstein. Scott's opponent was neoconservative Bill Kristol, one of the most prominent war hawks of recent American history. The resolution they debated was: A willingness to intervene, and seek regime change, is key to an American foreign policy that benefits America.

Scott interviews Trita Parsi about his paper concerning the intervention of Middle East powers over the last decade. Parsi and his coauthor Matthew Petti found that, contrary to the picture often painted of one malign actor driving all the instability, there are really six Middle Eastern countries engaging in a lot of foreign intervention. Iran, which is currently the U.S. foreign policy establishment's favorite villain, is no more interventionist than the other five. And that most instability in the modern Middle East can be traced back to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Finally, Parsi talks about the Iran Nuclear Deal, which he says was gravely threatened when Biden dragged his feet at the beginning of his presidency.  Discussed on the show: “No Clean Hands: The Interventions of Middle Eastern Powers, 2010-2020” (Quincy Institute) “How to Make Iran Trust a New Nuclear Deal” (Foreign Policy) Trita Parsi is the president of the National Iranian American Council and the author of Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy. Parsi is the recipient of the 2010 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. Follow him on Twitter @tparsi.

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern discusses the overblown achievements of media-favorite Gen. David Petraeus, who gave us the Iraq War “surge” propaganda, a failed counterinsurgency program in Afghanistan, then was run out of his job as CIA director for passing classified information to his mistress/biographer.

Yemeni Journalist Nasser Arrabyee discusses why Saudi Arabia has failed to win the war in Yemen despite killing and injuring 50,000 Yemeni civilians.

Gareth Porter, an independent investigative journalist and historian writing on US national security policy, discusses why Donald Trump's pick for national security advisor, retired Lt. Gen. Michael J. Flynn, is responsible for killing innocent Afghan civilians with drone strikes and night raids based on faulty intelligence. Flynn also knew the JSOC kill/capture program was counterproductive at winning hearts and minds in Afghanistan but continued it anyway as a public relations campaign with the compliant US media. Gareth also debunks White Helmet claims about the Aleppo Convoy Massacre.

Scott talks about Donald Trump's mixed foreign policy signals and why Hillary Clinton is the worst of all the presidential candidates.
