"Was the Russia-Ukraine War Provoked? | Scott Horton Exposes U.S. Foreign Policy"
In this explosive episode, Jillian sits down with Scott Horton, historian and author of Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, to uncover the decades of U.S. foreign policy decisions that, he argues, fueled the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
From NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe to covert assassinations, missile defense systems, and color-coded revolutions, Horton meticulously pieces together how these policies escalated tensions with Russia rather than fostering peace. Was this war inevitable, or was it provoked?
Key Topics:
- How NATO’s relentless expansion created a powder keg.
- The role of U.S. weapons manufacturers and the military-industrial complex.
- What missed opportunities could have prevented this war?
- Shocking parallels between media narratives and historical propaganda.
- Lessons the world must learn to avoid future global catastrophes.
This conversation is packed with history, hard truths, and insights that challenge mainstream narratives.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
