Provoked with Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton ·

2025/10/11

A “ceasefire” that still features explosions doesn’t deserve the name. Scott Horton, and guest host Kyle Anzalone dig into what’s actually happening in Gaza right now—why strikes continue, how Israeli forces are repositioning instead of leaving, and what the Lebanon “truce” teaches us about violations becoming a daily routine. From there, we trace the political chess behind the deal: Trump’s pressure on Netanyahu, Kushner’s handshake-first style, and the side understandings that let Israel snap back

Start with the question everyone dodges: why did October 7 happen—and why did the story that followed look so different from the facts on the ground? We sit down with Max Blumenthal to trace the long arc from siege and failed truces to an operation designed to seize leverage through captives, disrupt the Abraham Accords, and force a political reset. From Sinwar’s rise and an overland breach that stunned the Gaza Division to the chaos around the Nova festival, we map the day’s hard realities—and the

2025/10/04

Start with a simple claim: rules only matter if everyone believes they bind everyone. From there, we pull a thread through media smears, unequal justice, and the hard truth that modern politics already runs on “exceptions” to the rules. We’re not romanticizing power or hunting for a strongman; we’re asking why the ordinary law—applied evenly—feels so rare, and what it would take to make it normal again. With Auron MacIntyre joining us, we put Carl Schmitt in his place: not as a mentor to emulate,
