Why British Police Don’t Carry Guns | U.S. vs. U.K. Policing with Mat Scanlan
In this episode of The Adam Green Show, Adam sits down with Mat Scanlan, a veteran English police officer with nearly 30 years of experience, to explore the striking differences between policing in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The conversation examines why most British police officers do not routinely carry guns, how “policing by consent” shapes the relationship between officers and the public, and why the realities facing American police can be dramatically different.

It’s a thoughtful and revealing conversation about policing, responsibility, danger, training, and the difficult decisions officers are expected to make every day.

Episode 7: Iraqi Jews – A 2,600-Year History, One Family, and a 75-Year Fight for Justice
For more than 2,600 years, Jewish communities flourished in what is now Iraq, helping shape one of the world's oldest civilizations. In this compelling episode, Adam Green explores the remarkable history of Iraqi Jews through the personal story of Philip Kazam and his family.
Philip recounts how his grandfather built a magnificent home in Baghdad during the 1930s, only to leave it behind in 1948 as rising antisemitism and political unrest made the future increasingly uncertain. That same home would later become the French Embassy in Baghdad and is now the center of a decades-long international legal battle seeking justice for property lost generations ago.
Beyond the lawsuit, this episode is a powerful conversation about heritage, displacement, resilience, and the importance of preserving history through the people who lived it. Adam and Philip examine the rise and fall of one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, the events that led to the mass exodus of Iraqi Jews, and why remembering these stories remains essential today.
