Scott interviews attorney Bud Cummins about Bryan Malinowski, a man who was killed by ATF agents in a poorly planned and entirely unnecessary pre-dawn raid in 2024. Two years later, no government officials have been held accountable, or have even adequately explained what happened. Cummins is representing Malinowski's wife in a lawsuit that seeks to change that. Bud Cummins is an American attorney, businessman and politician. He served as United States Attorney with five years of service from 2001 to 2006 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.  Sign up for the Scott Horton Academy of Foreign Policy and Freedom at scotthortonacademy.com For more on Scott's work: Check out The Libertarian Institute: https://www.libertarianinstitute.org Check out Scott's other show, Provoked, with Darryl Cooper https://youtube.com/@Provoked_Show Read Scott's books: Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine https://amzn.to/43D82oY (The audiobook of Provoked is being published in sections at https://scotthortonshow.com) Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism: https://amzn.to/4eMQblu Fool's Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan https://amzn.to/4a5fKvx Follow Scott on X @scotthortonshow And check out Scott's full interview archives: https://scotthorton.org/all-interviews This episode of the Scott Horton Show is sponsored by: Tax Attorney Matt Sercely https://agoristtaxadvice.com; Moon Does Artisan Coffee https://scotthorton.org/coffee; Tom Woods' Liberty Classroom https://www.libertyclassroom.com/dap/a/?a=1616 and Dissident Media https://dissidentmedia.com; Expat Money https://expatmoney.com/scott; and Crowdhealth https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/ (use promocode Horton) You can also support Scott's work by making a one-time or recurring donation at https://scotthorton.org/donate/https://scotthortonshow.com or https://patreon.com/scotthortonshow Audio cleaned up with the Podsworth app: https://podsworth.com Use code HORTON50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings, sound like a pro, and also support the Scott Horton Show!

Should you move to Spain in 2026? Well, it depends. A blog called Expat Money recently published a list of the "top 7 reasons you should never move to Spain" and I don't think the author was wrong about them... I just think that Spain has some intangibles that make it a great place to live, and that for most of us, moving abroad is more than a mathematical calculation. Support this podcast at https://expatmadrid.com/donate/You can read my article here, obviously I've lived in Spain for 22 years and I'm somewhat biased: https://expatmadrid.com/reasons-never-move-spain/If you're looking for a more athletic type of holiday, check out my friend Raul over at https://biketourinspain.comI'll be going on his tour of La Rioja and Camino del Cid in a couple of months, and I've got two episodes on here about other bike tours, look for "#76 - Route of Don Quixote" and "#94 - Extremadura Bike Tour" for more about those.

Win Ko Ko Aung was born in Burma (Myanmar) in 1993 and grew up under military rule, shaped by a country still reeling from the 1987 overnight demonetization that wiped out his parents' generation's savings. A tech entrepreneur and youth educator, he entered the Bitcoin space in 2019 as a way to preserve economic energy in a country with few reliable financial options. When the 2021 military coup froze the bank accounts of activists and democracy supporters, including his own, his Bitcoin holdings remained untouchable and became his lifeline out of the country. He crossed the jungle from Burma into Thailand without a passport, eventually reaching the United States as a political refugee. Today he works at the Human Rights Foundation, where he has taken part in educating over 1,400 activists and journalists worldwide on Bitcoin, financial freedom, and privacy tools. Win shares how financial oppression operates as a weapon of authoritarian control and why Bitcoin is the most important human rights technology of the 21st century. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

THE REPUBLIC HAS ALWAYS HAD CHARLATANS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE NOW IS THEY HAVE PODCASTS, CABLE NEWS CONTRACTS, AND MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS. Today on Wake Up America, we trace the charlatan problem from the founding era to the modern media machine. Dr. Benjamin Church spied for the British. Benedict Arnold was grifting before West Point. The Conway Cabal tried to remove George Washington through anonymous attacks. James Wilkinson commanded the U.S. Army while secretly taking Spanish money. Then we bring the pattern forward to Hunter Biden, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Scott Pelley, Ro Khanna, and the modern system that rewards the costume long after the record has fallen apart.

Terence Michael is a Hollywood TV producer, storyteller, and Bitcoin educator known for his cinematic, analogy-driven videos,  and he co-hosts the daily show on X - "Bitcoin Today". When Covid shuttered his Airbnb properties and production work, Terence pivoted decisively into Bitcoin, eventually selling around twenty properties to go all-in. That journey gave him the material for his book Proof of Money, which argues that humanity has never actually had real money until now. We walk through his Vegas 2026 keynote "The Bitcoin Hero's Journey," the Hollywood storytelling framework he uses to map Bitcoiner's transformation, and why he believes Bitcoin is not a hedge or an alternative but an upgrade to everything.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Mauricio Di Bartolomeo is the Co-founder of Ledn, the leader in Bitcoin-backed lending. He grew up in Venezuela, living through the early tremors of what would become one of the most dramatic monetary collapses in modern history, before coming to Canada in 2003. His front-row seat to hyperinflation under Chavez and Maduro shaped a deeply practical understanding of how money, debt, and institutional trust actually function, and gave him the conviction to build Ledn, which has issued over $10 billion in loans since 2018 and holds an estimated 30% market share in consumer Bitcoin-backed lending globally. We cover what hyperinflation actually feels like from the inside, why the wealthy borrow while everyone else is told to save, the philosophical debate over whether Bitcoin-backed debt is morally sound, and what the recent seismic shifts in Venezuela's political landscape mean for an oppressed country. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Paul Keating is building freedom tech with Primal, a Nostr client that puts digital sovereignty back in users' hands. Based in Costa Rica, Paul lives entirely on a Bitcoin standard as part of Bitcoin Jungle, one of the most vibrant circular Bitcoin economies in the world. A surfer, new father, and tireless advocate for freedom-first technology, Paul joined me at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas for a conversation that has been a long time coming. We covered what a truly sovereign life looks like day to day, how Bitcoin and Nostr function as nature's response to broken money and broken social media, the open protocol future Primal is building toward, and the upcoming Bitcoin Jungle documentary - Hummingbird.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Janice McAfee, the widow of tech and privacy legend John McAfee, opens up about what really happened around his mysterious death. Together they spent nine years navigating an extraordinary life at the intersection of freedom, surveillance, and survival, and traveled through the Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Spain as U.S. authorities pressed for extradition on tax and SEC-related charges. When John was detained in Spain in October 2020 on an Interpol red notice, Janice remained in the country throughout his nine months of imprisonment. She learned of his death in June 2021 through a Twitter DM, before any official message. Three years of legal battles followed before she received his body, and the questions surrounding his death never left her. Now channeling John's mission through the AIntivirus Project for privacy tools, she  explains why carrying on this fight is the only way to honor what he stood for.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Lyn Ulbricht is Ross Ulbricht's mother. Ross was the founder of Silk Road, who received a double life sentence plus 40 years without parole before being granted an unconditional pardon by President Trump after nearly 12 years of incarceration. Rather than stepping back after that hard-won victory, Lyn channeled her experience, platform, and network into founding MACS (Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing), a nonprofit dedicated to exposing the reality of excessive sentencing inside the U.S. justice system. At the Bitcoin Vegas Conference 2026, she joined me to share what it was like when Trump personally called to announce the pardon, how Ross is adjusting to life on the outside, why she sees Bitcoin colleagues still behind bars as prisoner of war  from a war declared over, and why the fight for justice is far from finished.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Hakeem Anwar is a software engineer with over 20 years in tech, and the founder and CEO of Above Phone, a conscious technology company building open source phones, laptops, and software services that free people from reliance on Big Tech. After years of building web and mobile apps for large corporations, he walked away from corporate life during Covid. He also runs Take Back Our Tech, a weekly show covering the biggest stories in tech - always with solutions. Hakeem has done extensive research into the global digital ID rollout, co-authoring the "Life Under Digital ID" report, which maps how 90% of countries already have operational digital ID or will within three years. In this conversation, we discuss global standards enabling biometric interoperability across borders, why "voluntary" always becomes mandatory, and Hakeem demonstrates the Above Phone on screen, making the case for why the window to migrate to open protocols is closing faster than most people realize.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Matyas Kuchar is a Czech Bitcoin OG and co-founder of BTC Prague, Europe's largest Bitcoin-only conference. Born into a country shaped by communist-era currency controls and a deep-rooted distrust of central authority, Matyas sits at the intersection of Bitcoin, monetary sovereignty, and the fast-shifting political landscape of the European Union. He helped spearhead a landmark Bitcoin-friendly legislation package that passed unanimously through the Czech parliament, eliminating capital gains tax on long-held Bitcoin and securing banking rights for crypto companies. In this conversation, he breaks down why the Czech Republic may be the El Salvador of Europe, and why the fight for financial and digital privacy is now a hill worth dying on.* Note to clarify what Matyas meant about MiCA regulation: While MiCA does not directly regulate merchants, its travel rule requirements effectively forced third-party Bitcoin payment processors — e.g. Confirmo & Qerko — to treat fiat conversion as a financial service, requiring them to KYC every customer. Since they aren't complying, these processors stopped supporting merchant Bitcoin payments, and since most merchants relied on them rather than managing self-custody, they stop accepting Bitcoin altogether.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

American Hodl is a Bitcoin advocate and libertarian thinker whose fascination with decentralized systems goes back to childhood, when he ran SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) at home from the third grade, hoping to find aliens via shared compute. A proudly American voice who arrived at Bitcoin through a Ron Paul libertarian path with no illusions that conventional political routes would ever deliver real change. In this conversation, recorded at Bitcoin Vegas 2026, we explore the surveillance infrastructure assembled around everyday life, the strategic tension inside Bitcoin culture between engaging the state and building outside it, the Samourai Wallet case, the meme coin era, and reclaiming personal agency by speaking truth.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Peter St Onge is an economist and former MBA professor holding positions at the Heritage Foundation, the Mises Institute, and the Montreal Economic Institute. In this conversation, we discuss what the Strait of Hormuz blockade means for different countries, the parallels between today and the 1930s, why AI will raise wages rather than destroy jobs, how central banks function as a permanent bailout mechanism for reckless banking, how to protect yourself during this chaos, and why free speech determines whether the West survives what is coming.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Today I'm sharing something different: I was interviewed by Mike Peterson on the Bitcoin Beach podcast while I was in El Salvador in Nov. 2025. Mike wrote:    “What if the real trap is not working hard, but spending your best years building someone else's empire earning money you do not even trust?Mike Peterson sat down with Efrat during “Bitcoin Historico” for a direct conversation about the fiat system, corporate life, and why “growth for growth's sake” eventually stops making sense. She explains how years of being great at driving revenue for other people pushed me toward a bigger question: who is this all really for?Before Bitcoin, Efrat was deep in the tech world, first as a video games developer in Australia, then rising to executive roles. She shares about being a woman in tech on male-dominated teams, her career reality and the moment she realized work was not the same as purpose.She also shared more personal stuff: what happened when she spoke out during Covid, how backlash followed, and why free speech became a line she wouldn't cross, even if it cost her socially and professionally. Bitcoin enters this conversation through one sharp question that changed everything, “can they touch it?” Efrat describes why self-custody, sound money, and censorship resistance felt like freedom tech more than a finance solution."→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Geopolitical risk in the Middle East is back in the spotlight, and for many people, it's raising deeper questions about stability, long-term planning, and where to build a life. Recent events have forced a conversation that most prefer to ignore: what happens when you're living in a region exposed to conflicts far beyond your control? In today's episode, I share a personal story about why I chose to leave the UAE after nearly a decade, despite genuinely loving the country. I break down how that decision was shaped by long-term thinking around risk, family, and resilience. Enjoy!

Karla Joy Treadway is a serial entrepreneur, marketing strategist for freedom-minded entrepreneurs, writer, speaker, and host of the Sovereign Sphere podcast, broadcasting from an island on Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Canada, where she and her family hunt, fish, fly their own plane, and homestead off the beaten path. Covid lockdowns cost her everything: her studio, her income, her community. Being canceled overnight for questioning medical mandates cost her the rest. Rather than go quiet, she went harder. In this conversation, Karla and I cover the Freedom Convoy and its consequences; what sovereign, self-reliant living really looks like day to day; the AI content tsunami quietly reshaping entrepreneurship and the narrow window entrepreneurs still have to build real trust; Canada's MAiD program as a window into where government-controlled healthcare ultimately leads; and what keeps Karla grounded, when the world feels like it's heading toward a point of no return.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

This conversation goes deep into the invisible architecture most people never see. John Burnett is an entrepreneur with experience across hospitality, real estate development, and technology. A freedom lover and lifelong student of the control system, John's  "mosaic of truth" is piecing together how the financial system, the legal system, false history, and emerging technocracy all connect as layers of a single structure designed to extract human energy and suppress human potential.

The U.S. under Donald Trump has been redrawing its map of allies in Latin America…and not every country has made the cut. At the recent Shield of the Americas Summit, representatives from 12 Latin American countries, handpicked by U.S. President Donald Trump, convened to discuss joint security and anti-cartel operations. In today's episode, I recap the summit and discuss the implications for expats and investors across the region. I'll dive into where political capital is currently flowing, and how this realignment will shape the future of Latin America. Enjoy today's episode! IN TODAY'S EPISODE Tune in as I break down Trump's plan for Latin America, and the second-order effects of controlling crime and cartels. Which countries are most aligned with the United States? Which Latin American countries are investable now, and where is the region going in the next decade?Hear my thoughts on why Chile was represented by President-elect José Antonio Kast, leaving the current administration out in the cold.   Learn why who wasn't invited may matter more than who was—and what that signals for the future of Latin America.

Nick Anthony is a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a fellow at the Human Rights Foundation, and author of Digital Currency or Digital Control? He's back for his quarterly appearance, and honestly, there's no one I trust more to dissect CBDCs, financial privacy, and government overreach. Nick tracks the global CBDC landscape in real time through his CBDC tracker, doing the painstaking work of distilling hundreds of pages of central bank reports, legislation, and speeches into intelligence that the rest of us can actually use. Whether he's working across the aisle in Washington, dissecting stablecoin bills for hidden surveillance hooks, or documenting the moment a sitting Treasury Secretary openly declared his belief in financial surveillance - Nick is on it. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Anastasia Canonica was born in post-Soviet Russia in 1991, the year the USSR collapsed and the monetary system reset overnight, erasing everyone's savings. She was placed in an orphanage at age 4 after her parents turned to alcohol amid the poverty crisis, spending ages 4-16 in Orphanage Number 5 in Novokuznetsk, Siberia. After her father's death when she was 11, she became consumed with anger and resentment, developing a physical growth on her body. At 13, she experienced a miracle healing through Louise Hay's book "Heal Your Body," learning to release resentment and forgive. After a two-year adoption process, Anastasia came to America at 16, right as the 2008 financial crisis hit. Ana shares her awakening journey and Bitcoin adoption, seeing it as a source of hope that the parallel centralized dystopian world doesn't have to be the only option.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Simon Dixon is a geopolitical analyst, Bitcoin OG, and entrepreneur, formerly an investment banker. In this conversation, Simon does a deep dive into the real architecture of power shaping our world, unpacking how financial, military, and technological power structures intersect, and why incentives drive global decisions. From his early days in traditional finance to his journey into Bitcoin, Simon shares what he learned about how money is created, how influence is exercised, how power compromises, and why many leaders operate within larger systems they don't fully control. We explore the difference between reforming the system and exiting it, the role of sovereignty, sovereign wealth and debt, how media and markets shape narratives, and why Simon sees Bitcoin and self-custody as tools for individual sovereignty. This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, truth, responsibility, and the practical paths toward greater independence in a highly controlled, corrupted world.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Senator Alex Antic is a member of the Liberal Party representing South Australia in the federal parliament since 2019. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about how COVID-19 became his political awakening, admitting he was "far too cavalier" in trusting government and bureaucracy before the pandemic revealed how easily institutional power can be weaponized against citizens. Senator Antic was the only senator to vote against Australia's recent hate speech legislation, walked away from party pressure, and currently fights to repeal "no jab no pay" laws that withhold government benefits from families who don't comply with childhood immunization schedules. We examine the broader pattern: an alarming expansion of state control over just 18 months including hate speech laws, hate crime laws, firearms restrictions, digital ID frameworks, and the under 16 social media ban, all targeting free speech & other human rights. Senator Antic shares why Australia is no longer sovereign.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Dr. Mary Tally Bowden is a board-certified ENT physician and emergency medicine specialist based in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID-19 patients in direct care while openly challenging centralized medical authority and censorship in healthcare. In November 2021, Houston Methodist Hospital, the first hospital in the country to mandate COVID vaccines, suspended her clinical privileges for allegedly spreading misinformation. Bowden resigned and sued the FDA for their public campaign against ivermectin, winning a landmark case that forced the agency to remove misleading social media posts. She operates a medical practice independent of hospitals, insurance companies, and government contracts, allowing her to treat patients according to clinical judgment rather than institutional mandates. Dr. Bowden continues to fight her Texas Medical Board reprimand while leading efforts to expose hospitals that failed to report vaccine injuries to VAERS as legally required, potentially exposing billions in fraud. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Monika Bravo is a multidisciplinary artist, polymath, writer, evolutionary astrologer, bitcoiner, and freedom maximalist. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, she spent her mid-20s in Europe studying fashion design and photography before moving to New York in 1994. Since 2020, Monika has focused on her public art, trauma & consciousness studies, human design, Austrian economics, somatic practice, and astrology, integrating them into a unique philosophy centered on liberty, value, and self-awareness.This profound conversation explores Monika's transformation from a fragmented artist conforming to the system to a sovereign individual who found wholeness through Bitcoin. We dive into her childhood rebellion against religious conformity, her journey through public art and breaking free from galleries, the moment her artist friends called her a "traitor", and how she integrated the various areas into a unified practice.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Bob McDonell is the founder of @HouseofLifeMC in El Salvador, a shelter providing care, protection, and hope for abandoned children and teenage mothers with their babies. This profound conversation reveals the dark reality of child abuse, trafficking, and exploitation in Central America, while showcasing a transformative model of healing through love, structure, and opportunity. Bob shares his journey from a physics student in Buffalo to answering God's call to serve El Salvador's most vulnerable children during the civil war. We explore the systemic failures & corruption of international organizations, the devastating impact of flawed orphanage studies, and how Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador has created unprecedented opportunities for these girls to own their own homes and build independent futures.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

For decades, Venezuela has been ravaged by socialism and the rule of strongmen like Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro. It is a country that has watched its most capable citizens flee for more than a decade.
