All right, guys, happy Monday. Obviously, we are jumping onto the stream here early because I am fired up. I have been fired up, fired up because I'm looking at people's tweets on X, the things that they are saying about the fall of Syria. People know nothing. I'm tired of the mainstream media lying about what's going on there. I'm tired of castrated Christianity in the West, people not understanding

that Christians are being massed slaughtered. And it's intentional. It's all intentional. I'm tired of

neocons. So this is going to be an episode. We're going to call out some of these neocon takes

on what's happening as if it's a good thing. It's a good thing for nobody but Israel.

It's very clear. It's a good thing for nobody but Israel. And I have somebody sitting with me here

who is an expert on the topic. So we're not even going to do an intro today. I'm just going to say

Scott Horton. Welcome to the Candace show. Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be here with you. So you're an expert on the stuff. And so what I want you to really do is

there are so many Americans, and I count myself among them previously, who don't even understand

what's happening in the Middle East. Like we're a generation 9-11. We're a generation every single

day on our TV screens. We're being told we're fighting terror. We're scared when we're at the airport.

We're suddenly taking off our shoes, our belts, looking at people funny if they have dark skin, wondering whether or not they're going to blow up our planes.

Truly, like, Stalin-level propaganda taking place in our school systems to remind us of 9-11 every single day having to stand up at 9-11 in my school.

And a moment of silence to remember, you know,

what these jihadists did, this terrible thing that they did. And then I grew up and I realized

everything we learned in school is a lie. I'm looking around in our country. It's in managed

decline. They're telling us that we have to keep fighting terror, fighting terror. We're spreading democracy.

And none of this stuff is adding up anymore.

So I want a slow walk because you are also an expert on Russia.

You wrote this book that I'm holding right here called Provoked.

I want you to explain to my listeners and, I mean, dumb this down.

Like this is the best way to learn.

I want people to
