I was wrong. I finally finished this and it’s phenomenal. Lex didn’t shut anything down and was enthusiastic about the material. I was biased because the last time I checked a related Lex video, it was James Holland, a British WW2 guy and the comments were praising him as a “real historian”, which at the time, can be inferred to mean contempt for Darryl Cooper and his criticisms of Churchill.

I assumed Lex and his audience were just Redditors, but if you look at the comments here, it’s mostly high praise for Scott. This is the greatest podcast I’ve ever seen, a superhuman performance by Scott, who has an unrivaled ability to remember names, dates, events, articles, and quotes. The western world would be a much better place if everyone watched this. Scott is a living legend.

Scott is a true legend.

Additionally Scott Horton's book 'Provoked' is a must have (and read). Especially to have all the sources at hand.

i think he had scott on a debate and the comments were upset, because he seemed biased against scott. he then reacted and invited scott to lay out his whole case and it resulted in this masterpiece

Yes

Is this a podcast episode I can listen to, or is it worth watching?

Audio is fine. Maybe not worth it if you’ve read Scott’s books, but otherwise extremely informative, thorough on the entire history of US interventionism in the Middle East.

Thanks! I’m not familiar with him, so this would be my first venture into his works.

Definitely worth it then. Enjoy and report back.
