Although much of what he presents is historically accurate, I'm skeptical.
Robert Leroy Horton is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. They are a hereditary Order; allegedly direct descendants of those who fought in the Revolution. That all seems well and good, but the first red flag is their medal is modeled after the Order of St. Louis, circa Louis the XIV of 17th century France. Louis the XIV was also known as the Sun God. The laurel wreath is a common Masonic symbol. The entire Order screams Masonic (what we're trying to remove from our Republic). Not that Masons themselves are bad people, mind you.

Maybe an anon with more info can set the record straight if they have any knowledge. This is based on about 10 mins of research.
King Louis the 14th is NOT King St. Louis the 9th. Until you get that very straight I suggest you read up and figure it out. Everything else you say about that matter reads like jibberish. Sorry have to say it.
You're right. I've been studying Masonic offshoots and clubs they've infiltrated for 5 years, but haven't taken a closer look at SAR.
Here's what I found, which you may or may find insightful.
Former Presidents who were members. How many of these were Masons (e.g. traditional lodges, Skull and Bones, et al)?
Ulysses S. Grant (posthumous)[8][9] 18th
Rutherford B. Hayes[10] 19th
Benjamin Harrison[10] 23rd
William McKinley[10] 25th
Theodore Roosevelt[10] 26th
William Howard Taft[10] 27th
Warren G. Harding[10] 29th
Calvin Coolidge[10] 30th
Herbert Hoover[10] 31st
Franklin D. Roosevelt[10] 32nd
Harry S. Truman[10] 33rd
Dwight D. Eisenhower[10] 34th
Lyndon B. Johnson[10] 36th
Gerald D. "Jerry" Ford[10] 38th
James Earl "Jimmy" Carter[10] 39th
George H. W. Bush[10] 41st
George W. Bush[10] 43rd
WHY THE ORDER OF ST. LOUIS?
The cross of the Order of St. Louis is identical to the SAR cross except in three details. The central medallion of the SAR symbol bears the image of Washington rather than that of St. Louis; the medallion is surrounded by the SAR Latin motto “Libertas et Patria” or “Liberty and Country,” rather than the military order’s motto “Bellicae Virtutis Praemium” or “The Reward for Virtue is War;” and the angles between the arms of the cross lack the French fleur de lis. Instead, the SAR surrounds the cross with the laurel wreath of republican victory.
The cross is of white enamel and has four arms and eight points, each point being decorated with a gold head. Its source is the cross of the ancient chivalric Order of St. Louis, founded by Luis XIV in 1693.
