0:00.0	This is Undaunted Life a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:23.6	Hi guys, today we got a special guest on the podcast. His name is Scott Horton. So he's the
0:27.8	director of the Libertarian Institute and the editorial director of anti war.com and the host
0:32.8	of the Scott Horton show and anti war radio. So he's also the author of a couple of books I
0:37.4	wanted to mention that we talked about a lot in the show. And that's the 2021 book called Enough
0:41.6	Already, Time to End the War on Terrorism in the 2017 book called Fools Aaron, Time to End the
0:47.3	War in Afghanistan. So I need to give a quick shout out to one of my teammates at the Forge here in
