The Tom Woods Show, episode 1283.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Hey, folks, it's my job to equip you with the strongest arguments for the libertarian position on issue after issue where you tend to get

cornered by your friends. Well, deregulation caused the financial crisis is still a big one

ten years later as people reflect on those terrible times. Very, very important to smash this one

with a baseball bat. And I've got just the baseball bat for you.

It's my free e-book, The Deregulation Boogie Man. Grab it over at Regulation Myths.com.

Hi, everybody. Tom Woods here. Scott Horton is my guest today, but it's an unusual, unorthodox episode with Scott.

Many of you know Scott from the numerous appearances he's made on my program, and then perhaps you've gone on to listen to the Scott Horton

show. And interestingly enough, on the Contra Cruise, which is the cruise I do with Bob Murphy,

I've done three years in a row now. We do a family feud-style game.

And one of the questions this year, in fact, it was a question two years earlier as well,

was name your favorite guest on the Tom Wood Show, all-time best guest ever. And number

two was Scott Horton. So I know you guys have a special appreciation for Scott

because he comes on here and he just knows so much he has an unbelievable ability to retain

information and synthesize it about U.S. foreign policy. Combine that with his passion for

it and the result is a great guest and a great guy.

So I thought today it might be interesting.

Instead of picking Scott's brain on this or that part of the world, I want to ask a little bit about Scott himself.

I want to know about Scott Horton.

How does he become Scott Horton?
