TWR BONUS | The Ayatollah Is Dead: Iran's Liberation · The Whitfield Report

0:01
The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
0:05
speech that we have to put up with.
0:07
It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
0:11
It is the coursing lifeblood of human protest.
0:14
It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
0:18
understanding. What a laughing stock today's
0:22
student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
0:26
right to be offensive without realising that their lovely,
0:30
enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
0:36
Offensiveness is not just something we have to
0:38
begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
0:42
human progress. Now broadcasting from the Right
0:46
to Offend media studios in sunny South Florida, bringing you the
0:51
latest in politics, current events, art and pop culture.
0:55
This is the Whitfield Report live with Sam Whitfield.
1:00
But giving offense is good. In fact, it's essential.
1:09
And good and good morning, folks.
1:12
Almost said good evening out of a force of habit.
1:17
And welcome to the show. I'm your host, Sam Field here
1:23
live from right to Front Media Studios in South Florida.
1:29
And I want to welcome everyone to the show.
1:36
Usually I don't do morning shows, but you know, suffice to
1:42
say last night's Whitfield's Report Live for Wednesday, only
1:49
the first half hour was recorded.
1:51
Not really sure why, but that's just, you know, technical
1:58
problems, I guess. And then I was trying to start a
2:02
stream this morning, but the new Rumble Studio is, you know, it
2:10
still has some kings. It's still in the beta.
2:13
But that's why I'm going to, you know, test these things out.
2:18
So yeah, anyway, figured I would do kind of a show, you know,
2:26
here this morning and, you know, just help people, you know, give
2:34
some of my thoughts on what's going on with Iran and
2:37
everything else because things are pretty hectic right now, but
2:47
also somewhat pretty good. So it seems like you know, that
2:55
things in the region might actually looking up, you know,
2:59
for Iran, which is good, honestly.
3:05
So and it looks like we are alive.
3:11
So that is that's good as well. So any who before we get started
3:24
though, I do want to, you know, promo my new book that's coming
3:29
out on Tuesday and that is American Inferno, the 5th John
3:43
Rider novel in the shadows of Deception saga.
3:49
So I am very excited to have that out to you guys this week
3:56
and should be pretty epic. So also hello to King Gravana
4:05
and chat. No, actually King Gravana, it
4:09
wasn't you that got stuck. For some reason, Rumble Studio
4:17
did not want to record last night's streamer only wanted to
4:23
record the first half hour of the stream, which is kind of a
4:28
pain because like we did a 2 hour stream last night, actually
4:35
more like, you know, 2 hours and 30 minutes covering all of the
4:41
IRN stuff. So it's a it's a shame that that
4:46
wasn't fully recorded. This new Rumble Studio does have
4:52
some kinks, but I think I have them figured out.
4:55
It was Operator Air on my ends. But anyway, thanks for tuning
5:00
in. So but yeah, as I mentioned
5:04
before, American Inferno comes out on Tuesday.
5:11
Super excited to be able to get this into your hands very soon.
5:18
And yeah, so looking forward to that.
5:28
King Gron. Yeah.
5:29
I, I don't know what was going on with Rumble Studio last
5:33
night. It looked good from the.
5:37
The funny thing is, it was looking good from our end last
5:42
night. Everything seemed to be going
5:44
good. But then like after after the
5:47
show ended, I looked in like only the first half hours
5:50
recorded. So I'm not sure what what's
5:54
going on. But we're here now.
5:58
So glad to be here. Anyway, I want to get, you know,
6:07
into the topic of why we're all here, which is Iran.
6:12
And the Ayatollah is dead. Rest in piss, that terrible
6:19
dictator. Glad he's dead and that's, you
6:25
know, kind of the point if you wanted to end the show right
6:29
here or two now, that's kind of what I'm saying.
6:36
And but but the media basically is, you know, they've been
6:46
flipping out as per usual. They always do.
6:50
And they're saying, oh, you know, Trump is a warmonger and
6:55
Trump is, you know, just bowing down to Israel and whatnot.
7:00
And no, that that's not true at all.
7:03
In fact, you know, we, we've had beef with Iran of our own for
7:09
like the last 50 years. Pan and Lockerbie, the Olympic,
7:19
you know, hostage situation. I mean, hell, Iran was tied to
7:28
the group that facilitated 9/11. They basically sponsor, you
7:35
know, terror cells all over the world and fight us, you know, by
7:41
proxy. But people are specifically
7:44
going after Donald Trump, you know, we're trying to and saying
7:51
that he's, you know, he's bowing down to the warhawks, he's
7:56
bowing down to the neocons. And well, folks, as we pointed
8:02
out, his position on Iran has actually been consistent for the
8:08
last 40-5 years. In fact, I've a, you know, a
8:14
clip, a clip that's resurfaced and kind gone viral on the
8:19
Internet over the past couple days.
8:23
This is a, you know, this is an old clip from 1980 where Trump
8:34
is talking about the Iran situation.
8:39
And as someone mentioned, as Morthy's mentioned on stream
8:45
last night, actually, boy, he does look an awful lot like
8:54
Baron here. Or rather, Baron looks like him.
8:58
So this is Donald Trump talking at the Iran situation in 1980.
9:11
And yeah, let's check in here. So.
9:19
Obviously, you're advocating that we should have gone in
9:21
there with troops etcetera and brought our boys out.
9:24
I absolutely feel that, yes. Donald Trump has been so
9:27
ideologically consistent that it's it is actually almost hard
9:31
to wrap your brain around. So watch this video.
9:34
This is from October of 1980, Forty plus years ago.
9:42
Listen to Donald Trump being asked about military
9:45
intervention as it pertains to Iran.
9:47
When you get the respect of the other countries, then the other
9:50
countries tend to do a little bit as you do and you can create
9:54
the right attitudes. The the Iranian situation is a
9:57
case in point. That they hold our hostages is
10:02
just absolutely and totally ridiculous.
10:06
That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to
10:10
hold our hostages, to my way of thinking is a horror.
10:15
And I don't think they'd do it with other countries.
10:18
I honestly don't think they'd do it with other countries.
10:20
Obviously you're advocating that we should have gone in there
10:23
with troops, etcetera, and brought our boys out.
10:26
I absolutely feel that, yes. I don't think there's any
10:28
question and there's no question in my mind.
10:31
Don't you love seeing those? So there you have it.
10:35
Trump has been ideologically consistent about Iran for the
10:39
past, you know, 40 plus years. I don't know what else, you
10:50
know, people want. Like all these commentators and
10:55
I, I said this last night, but like, when did we start taking
11:00
Dave Smith's opinion seriously as a political commentator?
11:07
And also, this is my beef, not just with him, but with like a
11:13
bunch of other comedians. Owen Benjamin used to do this
11:19
famously too, all the time, right?
11:27
You know, you, you put an opinion out there and you know,
11:36
you claim to know the fact everything.
11:38
And then when you're when you're wrong, you know, instead of like
11:43
admitting that you're wrong or something, like what, what a lot
11:47
of these combinators will do specifically in the case of like
11:51
Dave Smith, he'll do the oh I'm just a comedian bro bit Also,
12:01
can we can we also say that like Dave Smith is a self hating Jew?
12:10
Like is that allowed? Because honestly, seems like
12:17
that's the case for Dave. Every time I see him on Twitter,
12:26
he's like rolling against any, you know, interaction with, you
12:35
know, anything with Trump. Yeah, black hole.
12:41
Phil wants to jump in. So hold on, Sir.
12:44
I will get you the invite here real quick.
12:52
But yeah, basically a lot of these, a lot of these
12:56
combinators who are flipping the fuck out, they have no idea like
13:02
what the history of America and Iran really even is.
13:11
It it's I would say I'm, I would say it's shocking, but honestly,
13:17
I'm not surprised. Now, like, granted, in the case
13:21
of like Nick Fuentes and whatnot, you could make the
13:25
argument that he's ignorant because he's young and he, you
13:28
know, he wasn't around in the 80s and whatnot.
13:33
But that argument only goes so far because like, neither was I,
13:36
I wasn't alive, you know, in 1980.
13:41
I was born in the 90s. I, you know, I wasn't around for
13:47
the fall of the, of the Shah. That happened in, in the 70s.
13:51
Most of my audience wasn't alive then yet, you know, this
13:58
audience knows the history pretty much.
14:02
And even if you don't like, this is one of those things where you
14:05
only have to do like a, you know, a quick tangential search
14:10
with like, grok, hell, even ChatGPT at Google, you know,
14:16
we'll give you this information that's, you know, somewhat
14:23
accurate. So yeah, this whole thing of,
14:27
oh, you know, Trump is just this whole strike in Iran is just
14:31
because of Israel. No, that's not the case at all.
14:38
So yeah, people are being dumb. So.
14:46
But yeah, Phil, I just sent you the link and this is a new
14:50
setup, so I'm hoping that that will work for you.
14:57
I just sent it to your DMS. So hopefully that will work.
15:05
But yeah, so the Ayatollah is gone.
15:10
And we've been seeing videos basically of, of Iranians like,
15:18
you know, happy about it. And like I, I can't play any of
15:24
the clips because it would be, I would get copyright struck on
15:29
YouTube. But there is the viral clip of
15:32
the, of the Iranian baddies dancing to the, to the YMCA
15:40
song. That that's another thing.
15:45
Can we please deport like white fat liberal women, the the blue,
15:53
you know, the blue haired, you know, nose ring feminist.
15:58
Can can we deport them to, you know, the Middle East and trade
16:05
them for the Persian hotties? That that seems like a feral.
16:14
That seems like a, a fairly, you know, OK trade in in my book.
16:25
So yeah. Also let's see.
16:39
King Ron asked. Well, First off, you can buy the
16:43
book on Amazon. King Rana.
16:48
Also, which country had the had the bomb?
16:56
I well, I, I think it's technically it was us, but like
17:02
we flew, we flew out of one of our bases in the region.
17:09
So anyway, while we're waiting for, you know, for Pluffy Phil
17:19
to show up or Black Pill Phil, whatever you're going.
17:25
But by these days, Phil, I'm not really sure Dana Lash had a
17:40
really good reaction to all of this on Monday and she lays out
17:46
pretty much you know why why America has had a beef with I
17:56
ran for the past 50 years or so. Let me switch tabs here and.
18:16
All right, there we are. So here is Dana Lash, who is a
18:30
podcaster and political commentator, laying out
18:34
basically, you know, what's been going on in the in the region
18:43
and yeah, why this was, why this is such a big deal.
18:52
And also, you know, she has the same criticism that I do of
18:57
Tucker and other people who are flipping out about this.
19:06
We're at the top of this first hour here on Monday, getting you
19:09
set up with all of the latest and what to expect.
19:12
So it was starting from before the strikes.
19:16
There were a lot of indications that something was going down.
19:20
I told you Friday you had the ambassador, U.S. ambassador in
19:24
Israel, Mike Huckabee, who sent out an e-mail saying that
19:28
Americans, American people, staffers in the embassy,
19:31
etcetera, and others need to make accommodations to get home
19:35
sooner rather than later, was the language that he used.
19:38
And it was language designed to not freak people out and cause
19:42
mass panic, but it was a language that indicated
19:46
necessity of speed. And then, of course, there was
19:51
the representative from Oman who was meeting the administration
19:55
in DC on Saturday as Ramadan kicked off.
19:58
So there were. And he was to give Iran's answer
20:02
to Geneva on Saturday. So it seemed as though they
20:05
weren't expecting already. And you can tell that from what
20:08
POTUS was discussing with the negotiations.
20:11
How Yeah, it doesn't seem like Iran is really going to come to
20:14
the table in good faith. You know, as you heard him say,
20:17
we, you know, we came, we we thought we had a deal and then
20:20
they walked away and we, we thought we had a deal and then
20:23
they walked away. And I kept doing it over and
20:25
over again. And he said, OK, that's it.
20:27
There were. The media was.
20:29
It was very interesting. The media was very eager to go
20:32
after POTUS with the whole line in the sand thing, right?
20:37
And the reason they were doing this is because of what Barack
20:41
Obama had done with the line in the sand with Iran.
20:43
So they were saying, oh, Trump is in a very difficult spot.
20:46
You know, he has this line in the sand for for Iran.
20:52
Is or was he going to like, they weren't fully anticipating him
20:56
to do what Barack Obama did, yet they defended Barack Obama when
20:59
he did it. Trump actually makes them.
21:02
He not he not only enforces the line, he takes the the comedy's
21:07
face and shoves it in the line with a bomb and totally, you
21:11
know, murks him off this mortal coil.
21:13
And so, yeah, I would say that that's a very big difference.
21:15
Now, this is how we're going to break down Iran.
21:18
Because I want everyone to understand, you know, one of the
21:21
things I I say quite often on this program is I don't care if
21:23
you agree with me, just make sure that you're disagreeing
21:26
with me and agreeing with me based on fact.
21:29
So leading up to this, because there are a lot of people and I
21:33
really do think that the media is inflating and trying to
21:35
really drive this division of between Trump and his own base.
21:40
You need to be very careful who you listen to right now.
21:44
And I'm, I'm, I'm saying that with all the sincerity I can
21:47
muster, you need to be very careful whom you listen to
21:50
because there's some bad actors out there that are wrapping
21:52
themselves in the cloak of conservatism and the cloak of
21:56
Republicanism, but they are anything but.
21:59
They have been advocating for and not so surreptitiously
22:02
pushing Islamist agendas frequently.
22:06
And these are also the same people that are trying to
22:08
hijack. Tucker Candace.
22:15
I mean, let's be honest, Candace was never a conservative to
22:20
begin with. Tucker like I'm not sure Roy,
22:27
what happened with him. He used to be like kind of
22:34
decent, but now he's now he's so paranoid.
22:38
Folks that like Tucker Carlson is even making Alex Jones look
22:46
sane. Think about that for a SEC, if
22:52
you will. Also, I am trying to get Phil on
23:00
here still. It seems that it seems like
23:06
we're having a few technical issues here again, the new
23:11
Rumble Studio set up so and apparently the Rumble Studio
23:17
app. I don't know if it's updated
23:19
yet, but if they do update that for mobile like that would be
23:27
helpful. I know they're still working in
23:29
the kinks out. So if Phil, you know, can't join
23:35
us or people you know, via mobile can't join us, like I
23:40
know that they're working on improvements.
23:44
So yeah. But anyway, yet.
23:52
So Dana's about like ready to basically explain like the past
23:58
50 year history of what's been going on.
24:04
Most of this I knew, but some of it I didn't.
24:07
So continuing on here. Back Trump's own movement away
24:15
from him because they think you're stupid they think you
24:18
have no idea about the lead up to this.
24:20
So I want to break down everything that led up to this
24:24
because one of the big problems that I have with the way that
24:27
all of this is being described, especially with those who
24:30
disagree with POTUS's actions, and we'll talk about that coming
24:33
up, is how this is somehow for Israel and it's not for Israel.
24:37
Anybody who knows the history of the United United States with
24:39
Iran knows you don't have to have the history of Israel's
24:42
involvement in it for the United States to have beef with Iran.
24:48
I mean, we didn't bomb Iran because of Israel.
24:51
Now, this is separate from whether or not you think we
24:53
should, and we're going to get into that 2001 authorized use of
24:55
military force, but this is different from whether or not
24:58
you think that we should. The point is, is that it had
25:02
nothing to do with Israel. I mean, if you really want to go
25:04
back to it, you could look at the 976 Americans that have been
25:09
murdered by Iran in the past, what, 47 years?
25:13
Some of us haven't even been alive for as long as Iran has
25:16
been terrorizing the world and the West, particularly the
25:20
United States. I mean, we could go all the way
25:22
back to 1979, when Iran technically already declared war
25:27
on the West. You could go back to the Beirut,
25:30
Beirut embassy bombing. You could go back to the hostage
25:34
crisis. You could go back to CIA Chief
25:36
William Buckley being kidnapped and tortured and murdered to
25:39
tortured to death, the Kuwaiti air hijacking, TWA 47.
25:45
We can go on and on. Colonel William Higgins who was
25:48
murdered by Iran and that was in 89 and we're not even touching
25:52
yet. Notice how we're not even
25:53
touching yet on the Houthis, on Hezbollah, on Hamas, on all of
25:57
the little proxy groups that Iran has been funding.
26:00
Let's not talk about the hundreds of service members that
26:03
have been killed directly by Iran by Soleimani, which is one
26:06
of the things that POTUS mentioned accurately when he who
26:09
was there from the podium at this Medal of Honor ceremony.
26:12
So I mean we could get into American troops by Iran backed
26:16
militias. Like I said, we could get into
26:18
the hostage. By the way, folks, yeah, I mean
26:32
all the events that she listed, like especially the Beirut
26:37
embassy bombings. Jack Carr has a really good book
26:44
on the Beirut bombings in Lebanon, Targeted did Beirut.
26:50
You should check that one out. Iran was totally back that
26:57
operation back in 1980 and war our troops, you know, down with
27:07
just repeated bombings. And eventually we evacuated
27:10
that. That's that's why, you know,
27:17
basically we showed that, you know, terrorism does work in
27:23
that instance because we evacuated.
27:26
It was kind of untenable. But that's basically what
27:30
happened. So yeah, now 40, you know, plus
27:38
years later, we're finally, you know, we finally have taken the
27:44
idle out. So.
27:48
Crisis we could get into a number of things we could get
27:50
into them under Obama Biden boarding one of our vessels and
27:54
making our our troops and photographing it and
27:57
disseminating it around the world.
27:58
Get on their knees with their hands behind their head as a as
28:01
a propaganda SIOP. And that was in going through
28:04
the Strait of Hormuz. So we could do all of this.
28:07
You don't even have to invoke Israel in order for the United
28:10
States to want to kick the ever loving hell out of Iran, to say
28:13
nothing about death to the America or or the fact that Iran
28:16
tried to assassinate the president, President of the
28:18
United States. Let's not forget that and that
28:22
they admitted it gleefully. So let's not forget that.
28:26
So you don't even have to invoke Israel in this to note that the
28:30
United States has had justifiable beef with Iran.
28:33
And we're going to go over the history of it.
28:35
Not only that, we're going to go all the way back to 2001 because
28:38
this is going to be the big debate coming up after these
28:40
after the war Powers Resolution. It's a 90 day thing and then the
28:44
president has to bring it to Congress.
28:45
The 2001 authorized use of military force.
28:47
There's a fight over the interpretations of it because
28:50
you could argue technically Iran is not mentioned, but any party,
28:55
what is mentioned any, any entity that had party to 911
28:58
planning is technically covered by the 2001 authorized use of
29:02
military force. And for the people who say that
29:04
Iran had nothing to do with it, I will have you go back and look
29:07
at how Iran gave a safe haven for Al Qaeda following 911 and
29:11
even during and before. So we're going to go back to all
29:13
of that. We're going to bring it up.
29:15
And like I said, I'm just going to give you the information you
29:18
need to make the best decision for you based off the available
29:22
information and not what some click bait whore digital
29:26
prostitute that's getting paychecks from Qatar wants you
29:29
to believe. So we're going to dive into.
29:31
Again, that's Tucker Carlson she's referring to.
29:34
And yeah, she, she kind of just gave the whole rundown, you
29:40
know, effectively of what's, you know, of the history.
29:48
Like, even within my lifetime. Yeah, Iran did gave, did give
29:54
safe haven to the 9/11, you know, orchestrators.
30:02
That's reason, that's reason enough for us to have, you know,
30:12
justifiable, you know, anger towards them and why not?
30:24
And, you know, as of yesterday, I guess the US and Israel bombed
30:34
another leader, you know, shit meeting where they were planning
30:42
on like electing, you know, the leaders allegedly or, you know,
30:56
I guess the I thought were trying to prop like another, you
31:03
know, the regime is trying to prop like another late leader
31:06
right now, but they can't because they keep getting bombed
31:09
in the into the Stone Age, which to that I say, good.
31:17
They deserve it. Absolutely.
31:25
So and let's see, what what else do we have here?
31:38
Oh, yeah. So this popped up this morning
31:46
in my feed as well. Marco Rubio basically warned of
31:54
the dangers of of Iran back in 2015 when he was a senator.
32:05
So just like a little over 10 years ago now basically.
32:18
And yeah, this was this was from 10 years ago.
32:27
And everything that Rubio said about Iran then was true and
32:33
everything, you know, he said as kind of come to pass, too, which
32:38
is why it's, you know, good that we struck them, basically.
32:53
So I will fill look into this and
33:14
see why people can't join by mobile because that sucks and
33:23
you absolutely should be able to join if you can.
33:33
So yeah, I'll I'll look at I'll look into that and let the
33:42
rumble folks know about that felt that day.
33:46
That's partially why I'm doing this is to, you know, test out
33:52
the studio a little more and kind of see what all the kinks
33:58
are. So, But yeah, here is here's
34:09
Rubio back in 2015 talking Iran's.
34:18
You know why they why they're dangerous, has a nuclear power.
34:22
Thank you. Mr. President, I wanted to come
34:24
to the floor today to speak about the risk that Iran poses
34:27
to the world and as a result, the legislation that's before
34:29
the Senate at this moment. A lot has been talked about in
34:33
the media over the last months, years, quite frankly, about the
34:35
notion that we're going to work out a deal with Iran that will
34:38
prevent war. Sadly, I believe that the
34:41
direction this deal is headed almost guarantees war at some
34:44
point, certainly in our lifetime, but maybe before the
34:46
end of the decade. Let me back up and 1st describe
34:49
what the issue is at hand. The issue at hand is that Iran,
34:53
run by a radical Shia cleric, it's government, I should say
34:57
it's people perhaps don't partake in the stock process,
35:01
but it's government whose head and supreme decision maker is a
35:05
radical Shia cleric, has made two decisions.
35:09
The 1st is they feel it is their obligation to export their
35:11
Islamic revolution everywhere in the world.
35:14
And of course it begins with the Middle East.
35:17
And two, they've decided they want to become the hegemonic
35:19
power in the region. They want to become the dominant
35:22
nation, the dominant movement in the Middle East and in that
35:27
entire region. So how do you achieve that?
35:30
Well, first, it requires you to drive the Americans out of the
35:32
area, which is why we've seen them invest in all sorts of
35:36
asymmetrical capabilities, like these little small swarm boats
35:39
that they use to sometimes harass US naval vessels.
35:42
That's why you see them just a week ago basically hijack a
35:46
commercial vessel on the on international waters.
35:50
The second thing they do is they sponsor terrorism.
35:53
They have all these proxy groups and all these countries in the
35:55
region that are doing their bidding.
35:57
That's also asymmetrical warfare.
35:59
Asymmetrical meaning it's not frontal.
36:01
It's using some non traditional method to expand their power or
36:05
to show their power. So they use these proxy groups
36:08
like Hezbollah or now with the group the Houthis that they're
36:12
involved with in Yemen and in other parts of the world.
36:15
And the threat is that if you attack Iran, these terrorist
36:18
groups will attack you. And in fact, we have seen the
36:21
hand of the Iranian government in terrorist attacks.
36:25
For example, we saw an attempt to assassinate the ambassador,
36:28
Saudi Arabia here in Washington, DC We know that in 1994 there
36:32
was a bombing in Buenos Aires that was linked to Iran.
36:37
So they sponsored terrorism. But the third aspect of their
36:41
desire to become the hegemonic regional power is a nuclear
36:45
weapon. What do you need to acquire a
36:48
nuclear weapon? You need three things.
36:50
The first thing you need is a bomb design.
36:52
And the truth is you can buy a bomb design.
36:55
The second thing you need is a delivery system, an ability to
36:58
deliver the weapon whether it's on an airplane or on a missile.
37:02
And that is why Iran is developing long range rockets.
37:05
They're expending a lot of money despite all the sanctions that
37:07
are on them. They're expending a lot of money
37:09
to build these long range rockets.
37:11
That isn't for some sort of fancy fireworks show.
37:14
It isn't to put a man on the moon.
37:16
They're building these long range rockets because they
37:18
understand that is the second critical component of a nuclear
37:22
weapons program. And the third thing is you have
37:25
to be able to get your hands on enriched uranium or reprocessed
37:29
plutonium and no one in the world is going to import to them
37:33
weapons grade uranium or plutonium.
37:36
So they've decided to build the infrastructure to do it
37:38
themselves. And they do it the way North
37:40
Korea did it. They do it the way other nations
37:42
have done it. When they try to hide their
37:44
program, they do it by claiming that they have a peaceful
37:47
nuclear program they're trying to build.
37:49
In essence their argument is we don't want to build a weapon,
37:52
we're just trying to build nuclear reactors so we can
37:55
provide electricity. It makes no sense for two
37:58
reasons. The 1st is this is an oil rich
38:00
country. They don't really need nuclear
38:04
energy in order to provide cost effective energy for their
38:06
country. But the other is it costs so
38:09
much money to build the equipment to enrich and
38:11
reprocess, they could just buy. Which that is, that is very
38:16
true. I've I, you know, I, I hear that
38:18
argument from the Iranian government sympathizers mostly,
38:24
you know, the environmental wackos who are anti oil here.
38:29
But yeah, like Iran literally is an oil rich country.
38:34
So it literally would make no sense for them to have nuclear
38:42
energy. They they don't need it, even if
38:46
they weren't a new, even if they weren't like trying to go for
38:50
nuclear weapons to basically, you know, fulfill some crazy
38:58
Islamic, you know, apocalyptic vision.
39:07
You know, it would be, it would be less cost effective for them.
39:11
Like they have, they have plenty of oil.
39:15
They're in that region in the world.
39:18
So yeah, Rubio is spot on, Yeah. I already reprocessed or
39:26
enriched and ship it, bring it into the country the way South
39:29
Korea does, the way other nations do.
39:32
So if it would be cheaper to bring these things in by simply
39:35
and importing it as opposed to having to spend all this money
39:39
enriching and reprocessing themselves, why are they
39:42
spending all this money on the infrastructure?
39:45
And the answer is because at some point in the future, they
39:49
know they're going to want a nuclear weapon now that perhaps
39:52
they haven't made the decision, they need it today or next week
39:54
or next year. But they certainly at a minimum
39:58
want to have the option to be a threshold nuclear power.
40:02
And I believe, knowing everything we know about them,
40:04
both open source and classified, that whether they've decided or
40:08
not to build a nuclear weapon, they will decide to build a
40:10
nuclear weapon. Because it provides for them the
40:14
sort of regime stability they crave.
40:17
The radical Shia cleric that heads that country, he looks at
40:21
North Korea and he looks at Libya, and he says Libya is what
40:24
happens when you don't have a nuclear capability.
40:27
North Korea is what happens when you do.
40:30
Moammar Gaddafi is dead and out of power, but North Korea is
40:34
still run by that madman. Why?
40:37
Because he has a nuclear weapon. You can't invade him or touch
40:39
him because of what he'll do in response.
40:42
And I think they're guided by that principle.
40:44
They're guided by the principle that they want to be the
40:46
regional hegemonic power. And nuclear weapons gives them
40:49
that role. And they're guided by a third,
40:51
equally sinister motivation, and that is the open and repeatedly
40:55
stated desire to destroy the state of Israel, to wipe it off
41:00
the face of the earth. They haven't said this once in
41:03
passing. The Supreme Leader of Iran has
41:05
said this on hundreds of occasions.
41:09
In fact, every pride, every Friday in Iran and government
41:13
sanctioned religious events, they chant death to America and
41:16
death to Israel. And if there's one lesson of
41:19
history is that when a leader or a nation repeatedly says we are
41:22
going to kill you, you should take that seriously.
41:27
And when the nation that says we are going to kill you is using
41:31
its governmental money to sponsor terrorism, you should
41:35
take that even more seriously. And when the nation that's going
41:38
out saying we're going to kill you and wipe you off the face of
41:40
the Earth is reprocessing plutonium or enriching uranium,
41:45
you have a right to be extremely scared.
41:48
The world understood this 10 years ago, eight years ago.
41:50
And so it imposed UN Security Council sanctions on Iran,
41:54
international sanctions. They were not easy to put
41:56
together. A lot of those countries in
41:59
Europe have companies that in those countries that were dying
42:01
to do business in Iran, they didn't want these sanctions, but
42:05
they didn't. They were in place, and then
42:08
about a year and a half or two, the president decided it's time
42:11
to try to open up to Iran and see if we can work a deal out
42:13
with them. And look, in normal
42:16
circumstances, there's nothing wrong with that, right?
42:19
Two countries who have a disagreement on some issue, you
42:23
can work things out. There's a place for diplomacy in
42:25
the world. The problem is that the issue we
42:28
have with Iran is not based on agreements.
42:31
They're not mad that we did something and so that's why
42:33
they're acquiring a nuclear weapon.
42:35
And if only we stopped doing what it is that aggrieves them,
42:38
they would go away. This is not a grievance based
42:41
problem. This is an ideological problem.
42:45
Because if you read the founding documents of the Islamic
42:47
Republic, it doesn't describe the supreme leader as the leader
42:51
of Iran. Iran, it happens to be the
42:53
country they operate from. It describes describes them as
42:56
the supreme leader of all Muslims in the world.
43:01
I want to pause here too, just to interject here too, the way
43:07
Rubio is speaking about Iran and the Middle East in general, This
43:18
is why he was chosen as Secretary of State.
43:27
He understands international politics there.
43:33
Well, this was a point I made actually back in 2015 because I,
43:39
you know, prior, prior to me supporting Trump.
43:43
And, you know, you can go back on this channel like, you know,
43:48
10 years ago, like I, I was Trump hesitant at 1st and I was
43:54
a Rubio guy partially because admittedly I live in Florida
43:59
where he, you know, where Rubio's from, but also because
44:05
of Rubio's knowledge of foreign policy and specifically of the
44:12
Middle East region, which at the time, you know, we were, we were
44:18
dealing with ISIS. Thanks a lot, Obama.
44:24
And so, yeah, Rubio has always had good foreign policy chops.
44:30
So I'm, I'm glad he's able to, you know, to tap into that skill
44:35
as a Secretary of State and what not.
44:44
And, you know, right now there's like, there's the question of
44:49
who will be the next, you know, candidate for the Republicans or
44:55
president. And it's coming down between,
44:59
you know, Vance and Rubio, basically.
45:05
So very interesting. Continuing on now.
45:13
That is why they believe that it is their goal, it is their
45:15
mandate, it is their calling to export their revolution to every
45:20
corner of the planet. But beginning in the Middle East
45:23
and a nuclear weapon capability would give them leverage and
45:26
carrying out that goal that they have.
45:29
And in their mind, nothing would be more glorious than the
45:32
destruction of the Jewish state. So the president enters these
45:36
negotiations and it has been a process of constant appeasement
45:42
moment after moment. We went from saying no enriching
45:44
and reprocessing. So you can enrich and reprocess
45:47
at 5%, so you can enrich up to 20% for research purposes.
45:52
We went from saying no enrichment ever to saying in 10
45:55
or 15 years, all bets are off. And there's still items in the
46:00
negotiation that are not clear. You know, the, the, the White
46:03
House put out a fact sheet, they put out a piece of paper and
46:05
they said this is what we agreed to and Iran put out a piece of
46:08
paper just like it, except it sounded like a totally different
46:11
deal. For example, the US fact sheet
46:14
said that sanctions on Iran would not come off until Iran
46:18
complied. But Iran's fact sheet said no,
46:21
no, sanctions come off immediately.
46:24
And now when you press the White House on it, they refused to say
46:28
that in fact, it will be phased, not immediate.
46:32
That's why I filed an amendment. And my even though I think that
46:36
the president's deal as outlined in the fact sheet was not good
46:40
enough, I filed an amendment to at least hold them to that.
46:44
And the amendment to this bill read very simply.
46:46
It just said that whatever deal the president crafts has to
46:49
reflect the fact sheet that he provided this the Senate, but we
46:54
couldn't get a vote on it. And the other amendment I filed
46:57
is that any deal with Iran should be conditioned on Iran
47:00
recognizing Israel's right to exist.
47:03
And here's why that was so important.
47:05
That was so important because this is not just about the
47:07
nuclear program. The deal the president is trying
47:11
to sign is about removing sanctions, meaning money is now
47:15
going to flow back into the Iranian government's coffers.
47:18
What are they going to do with this money?
47:21
Are they going to build roads, hospitals?
47:22
Are they going to donate to charity?
47:25
No are. They going to buy food and
47:27
medicine for people that are hurting around the world, the
47:30
hundreds of thousands that have been displaced by Assad, their
47:33
puppet. They're going to use that money
47:36
to sponsor terrorism. And the prime target of the
47:39
terrorism they sponsor was the state of Israel.
47:42
We couldn't get a vote on that amendment either.
47:44
Apparently, there are senators terrified of voting against that
47:48
amendment, so they'd rather not have a vote at all.
47:50
And so I am deeply disappointed by the direction this debate has
47:53
taken because I felt and I understand that this deal was
47:57
carefully crafted. I'm on the committee that passed
47:59
it, but I also understand that every member of the Senate has a
48:03
right to be heard on this debate.
48:05
And unfortunately, only a couple of amendments were allowed to be
48:08
voted on, and no one else had an opportunity to get their
48:10
amendments voted on, amendments that I thought would have made
48:13
this bill much more meaningful. But now we've reached this point
48:17
where the Majority Leader has filed cloture on the bill
48:20
because it's time to move on to these other issues.
48:23
And I respect that. And we have to make a decision.
48:26
And the decision is not whether we're going to pass the bill we
48:29
want or nothing at all. The decision is, do we pass?
48:33
Are we better off as a country with this bill or with no bill?
48:39
If we don't pass a bill, the Senate can still weigh in on the
48:42
Iranian deal. But the Iranian deal kicks in
48:45
immediately. And unless and until the Senate
48:48
acts, the sanctions will be off. At least the US sanctions will
48:52
be off. There's also no guarantee that
48:55
the White House will even show us the agreement if we don't
48:58
pass a bill. If we pass a bill, it delays the
49:03
sanctions being lifted for a period.
49:05
So that was back in 2015. I believe they did pass the
49:13
bill. But again, we were under the
49:16
Obama administration, which wasn't really effective at
49:19
dealing with Iran. I mean, let's face it, Obama,
49:25
Obama was the one who kept, you know, talking like wind in the
49:29
sand and then basically not doing shit about, you know,
49:37
anything in regards to terrorism.
49:43
And so, you know, that's the problem.
49:48
Point is, and why I brought that clip up of, you know, Rubio's,
49:53
he has also been someone who has, you know, been consistent
49:58
on Iran specifically for the last, you know, decade, which,
50:08
you know, in the grand scheme of things, folks was not that long
50:12
ago in all reality. So, yeah, all these people are
50:19
just saying, oh, it's, you know, this is all in Israel thing.
50:23
It's, you know, it's just simply not the case.
50:31
Well, that video was playing. I did find an article that I
50:37
want to read to you. I don't go to National Review
50:42
very, very much because, you know, they've kind of they were
50:46
kind of anti Trump back in 2016. And so I don't follow them that
50:52
closely. But you know what, what's the
50:56
saying? Even a, even a you know, a
50:59
broken clock is right twice a day.
51:02
Natural review. I do check up on them and they
51:04
have written some good stuff from time to time lately.
51:12
Most recently, they they put out an article today that I thought
51:20
was very interesting and worth the read.
51:24
So I'm going to pull that up for you all here, and let me read
51:35
this for you, ladies and gentlemen.
51:38
This is National Review Online. And let's see with the headline,
51:51
Iran war proves Trump was right on Space Force.
52:01
Because, yeah, this is something that the left has made fun of
52:04
Trump for years, though. Is this a Star Trek thing?
52:08
Why? Why Trump?
52:10
Are you wanting to go, you know, and do have a Space Force thing?
52:15
It makes no sense. And this is a waste of money.
52:18
And this basically proves that, yeah, Trump was actually right
52:22
to do space wars. So reading from the top of this
52:27
is also from Andrew Foley. Yeah.
52:32
And this was published early this morning and this is awesome
52:38
from National Review Plus. So, yeah, people may need to
52:44
subscribe to read this, but none the less, we're going to read it
52:48
here. And making the Space Force the
52:54
newest branch of the US military is is yielding clear benefits in
52:58
Iran. In 20th century wars, the key
53:05
was air was air power. In 21st century wars, it will be
53:12
space power. This week's military actions
53:16
against Iran Iran in Operation Epic Fury show that America that
53:23
if America desires peace on or on Earth, the ongoing conflict
53:30
proves we must prepare for war in space.
53:34
In the initial remarkable success the US and coalition
53:38
forces have demonstrated vindicates President Trump's
53:43
decision to elevate the Space Force as the 6th and newest
53:50
branch of the American military. The US military's dominance in
53:59
space, primarily through the US Space Force, the National
54:04
Reconnaissance Office and associated assets under US space
54:10
planned played a pivotal role in the success of the early strikes
54:18
against Iran, encompassing a network of satellites for
54:23
intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance or ISR, global
54:31
positioning systems, GPS communications, electronic
54:37
warfare and missile warning systems.
54:42
At Monday's Pentagon news conference alongside Secretary
54:50
of Defense Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
54:55
Staff's General Dan Kane specifically credited Space
55:02
Forces role in offensive and defensive military operations,
55:07
saying quote, they continuously layered effects to disrupt,
55:17
distort and confuse the enemy and characterized both as the
55:22
first movers that provided, quote, UN quote, non kinetic
55:27
effects disrupting and degrading and blinding Iran's ability to
55:33
see, communicate and respond. Prior to its 2019 establishment,
55:43
responsibilities for space combat were rightly distributed
55:49
across different U.S. military branches, leaving America ill
55:56
prepared to fight a conflict just as the Air Force was
56:02
rightly separated from the Army in 1947.
56:08
Elevating space to a Co Equal service consolidated American
56:14
expertise and allows our military to better control the
56:19
high ground above the Earth. At the start of the war.
56:25
Space Command disrupted, degraded, and blinded Iran's
56:30
century sensory communications and response capabilities.
56:41
This effectively rendered Iran Iran blind to incoming threats,
56:49
preventing early detection or coordinated retaliation as
56:54
electronic warfare satellites jammed radar systems,
56:59
interrupted command and control networks, and scrambled drone
57:04
and missile guidance signals. When Iran attempted to attack an
57:13
oil tanker to threaten the global economy, the regime
57:18
appeared to have accidentally sunk A vessel sanctioned by the
57:25
US and affiliated with Iran. For some reason, Iran destroyed
57:32
one of their own vessels, and the likely reason is that their
57:38
sensors were blind. In direct contrast, America, its
57:44
military, can literally post high definition videos of
57:49
Iranian naval vessels being torpedoed.
57:56
Without America's reconnaissance satellites, we would effectively
58:00
be as restricted and uninformed as Iran is today.
58:06
Without our communications satellites and GPS, we'd be just
58:10
as lost. These capabilities enabled
58:13
precise, coordinated and overwhelming attacks while
58:18
minimizing Iran's ability to detect or counter them
58:24
effectively. This allowed US and Israeli
58:28
aircraft to form a single synchronized wave of attacks in
58:36
competitive safety. The only US air losses so far
58:44
have been from friendly fire, a remarkable achievement given the
58:50
scale of the strikes in a testimony and a testimony to
58:55
America's space dominance. In fact, these systems were so
59:00
successful that the military ended up prohibiting the
59:05
consumption of alcoholic beverages for active duty US
59:14
Space Force gardens, presumably to keep celebrations to a
59:20
minimum. That that that's kind of
59:24
hilarious. I will I will say America's
59:30
force of low cost uncredited combat attack systems.
59:34
Oral Lucas kamikaze drones which have absolutely devastated Iran
59:44
are controlled by a satellite communications systems using
59:48
Spacex's Star Shield system, the military counterpart to the
59:54
civilian Starlink network managed by base force.
1:00:02
These weapons have jam resistant communications anywhere in the
1:00:10
world where Elon Musk's network operates, yet cost only 35,000
1:00:17
each, far less than the $1.9 million per air to ground
1:00:23
missile. That they're fast replacing US
1:00:28
space dominance likely provided real time reconnaissance through
1:00:33
advanced satellites. This was crucial for identifying
1:00:41
and timing high value targets, possibly including up to the
1:00:49
second tracking of Iran, of Iran and Supreme Leader Ali
1:00:55
Khomeini's location during a meeting with his inner circle,
1:01:01
enabling A disruption strike that killed him and other key
1:01:07
leaders early in the operation. U.S.
1:01:11
Central Command confirmed that every single one of Iran's 11
1:01:19
deployed naval vessels in the Ghost in the Gulf of Oman had
1:01:28
been sunk by the third day of the war.
1:01:34
This included modern I Iranian frigates and the regime's
1:01:39
precious and much hyped drone aircraft carrier.
1:01:45
But the reconnaissance which located these Iranian ships and
1:01:53
and the precision guided munitions which likely
1:01:57
eliminated them will rely on American satellites.
1:02:02
This ensured accurate hits on command and control hubs,
1:02:09
ballistic missile sites and nuclear related infrastructure.
1:02:16
Importantly, these actions simultaneously degrading Iran's
1:02:25
ability to protect power over tally effectively.
1:02:30
Moreover, space assets provided early warning against Iranian
1:02:39
counter attacks which began shortly after the first strikes
1:02:47
overhead. Overhead Persistent Infrared or
1:02:51
LPIR satellites and ground based radars tracks missile launches
1:02:59
in real time, alerting U.S. forces and enabling intercepts
1:03:04
by systems like Patriot Terminal, High Altitude Area
1:03:12
Defence and Navy destroyers. This defensive layer was crucial
1:03:22
during the first strike as Iranian as Iran filed fired
1:03:31
missiles at US bases in the Gulf and allied targets.
1:03:37
More than 90% were neutral, were neutralized mid flight.
1:03:44
The Space Forces calibration of these systems also disrupted
1:03:50
Iran's use of one way attack drones, often called Shihads,
1:03:58
further limiting their response without significant US losses.
1:04:06
Without the advantages of the Space Force, built on decades of
1:04:13
U.S. investment in all mobile assets, the first strike might
1:04:17
have faced heavier resistance. Higher casualties or less
1:04:21
precision potentially prolong the conflict or reducing in its
1:04:29
initial impact. This is a massive improvement
1:04:33
compared to the previous administration's unilaterally
1:04:37
banned anti satellite missile test, which were halted in the
1:04:46
mere hope the other countries were fought would follow suit,
1:04:51
putting America at a competitive disadvantage and effectively
1:04:56
handicapping the country's defenses.
1:05:02
And the crucial importance of space has been obscured because
1:05:08
every American conflict over the last few decades has been fought
1:05:17
against minor powers. Operation Desert Storm was in
1:05:22
many ways America's first space war because the Allied forces
1:05:28
made extensive use of GPS for targeting as I previously ran a
1:05:38
National Review, getting ready to.
1:05:42
Getting ready to fight a war in space was one of President
1:05:48
Trump's best ideas. America's initial success in
1:05:53
this conflict proves it. And there you have, folks.
1:05:59
So Trump's, you know, creation of the Space Force not only
1:06:05
proved to be a, you know, people thought it was a crazy idea, but
1:06:12
not only has it, you know, turned out to be a good idea,
1:06:14
like, it's already starting to kind of, you know, pay for its
1:06:19
worth in gold as saying go goes, or rather, I guess, prove it's,
1:06:27
you know, worth its way in gold. So there you have it.
1:06:33
You know, things in Iran are looking up, you know the
1:06:40
Ayatollah is dead. I'm sure there's, you know,
1:06:45
they're going to try and do more shit.
1:06:50
But as I also played last night on stream, the the son of the
1:06:57
Shah of Iran is, you know, he's looking to come back and, you
1:07:09
know, take over as leader, which, you know, it's it's it's
1:07:19
about time that that happened. So let me go ahead and.
1:07:33
I know I have, I know I have that clip somewhere to sold me
1:07:39
switch over and find that. But yeah, overall very good news
1:07:46
coming out of of Iran so far with the eyes hole being dead.
1:07:55
And as I mentioned, folks go and you know, especially the guys,
1:08:03
if nothing else, you know, you can take away from this war the,
1:08:09
the Persian baddies, the Persian hotties.
1:08:13
They've been liberated and they can now come here, you know, to
1:08:21
the, to the good old US of A. They wouldn't want to go over to
1:08:28
Europe right now at least, you know, not not many of them.
1:08:34
Probably not a good idea, honestly.
1:08:40
So let me see here. And I'm yeah.
1:09:05
So I played this clip last night.
1:09:22
So I played this clip last night, but, but like I said,
1:09:38
the, you know, the stream for last night didn't, didn't record
1:09:48
fully. So I, I wanted to play this clip
1:09:54
to this is this is Reza Pawley, who is the son of the Shah of
1:10:07
Iran who was ousted in the 70s. And he was on 60 minutes this,
1:10:15
you know, past this Week, 2 days ago, actually talking out this
1:10:23
whole situation in, in Iran. And he, he talked to President
1:10:28
Trump in the, in the operation, you know, basically to liberate
1:10:39
Iran as he sees it. So this is his, his reaction.
1:10:45
I want to play to kind of just end the show here.
1:10:49
So let me play this clip again. And yeah, this is a pretty good
1:10:59
tag. What is your message to
1:11:07
President Trump? My message to President Trump is
1:11:11
that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots
1:11:15
inside the NASA of Iran to thank him for having done and having
1:11:20
the courage to do what is not easy.
1:11:23
But intervene and he will go down in the annals of Iran in
1:11:26
history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the
1:11:30
ball game and changed the world as a result.
1:11:33
In January, President Trump said this about you, quote.
1:11:38
He seems very nice, but I don't know how he'd play within his
1:11:43
own country. I don't know whether or not his
1:11:46
country would accept his leadership, and certainly if
1:11:49
they would, that would be fine with me.
1:11:52
You don't seem to have President Trump's wholehearted support.
1:11:57
Well, first of all, I don't think that somebody in my
1:11:59
position will ever expect to to have an official endorsement of
1:12:04
a foreign government or a foreign leader.
1:12:06
What I do know now is that millions of Iranians inside Iran
1:12:09
and outside of Iran are calling my name.
1:12:12
They recognize in me the person uniquely placed to play a role
1:12:16
of transitional leadership, not running for office because
1:12:20
that's not what I'm doing, but to be a bridge to that destiny.
1:12:23
What is your message to President Trump?
1:12:30
My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join
1:12:34
millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to
1:12:37
thank him for having done and having the courage to do what is
1:12:42
not easy. But intervene and he will go
1:12:45
down in the annals of Iran. OK, so that loop there, But
1:12:50
yeah, so there. Yeah, I think this is a, you
1:12:57
know, kind of a good prime and rundown on what's going on with
1:13:02
Iran. The Ayatollah is dead, which,
1:13:08
you know, we can all sleep a little easier, you know, knowing
1:13:13
that Trump is 2 for two now with, you know, taking out
1:13:18
scumbags, it seems, you know, we he got he got Maduro and
1:13:30
Venezuela that that was just last month.
1:13:33
And this month, you know, it's he, he went for the he went for
1:13:41
the Ayatollah. Who knows, next week, next
1:13:45
month, he might get, you know, he might get the, you know, urge
1:13:51
to, you know, maybe. Well, I don't think he would.
1:13:56
I actually don't think he would, you know, go after Kim Jong Un
1:14:00
because Kim Jong Un actually seems to respect him.
1:14:04
But you know, who knows what dictator Trump will be going
1:14:11
after next month? Because, you know, he's
1:14:16
collecting. He's collecting trophies of
1:14:20
America's enemies every month now, it seems.
1:14:24
This year. And I'm here for it.
1:14:27
Maybe they'll maybe like the head poobah of Antifa next
1:14:31
month. I mean, they have been
1:14:36
designated as a terrorist group after all.
1:14:39
So that seems, you know, that seems like it would be
1:14:43
reasonable. But anyway, folks, thank you all
1:14:49
so much for tuning into this impromptu stream.
1:14:54
And it does look as if we are still live.
1:15:04
So that is a yeah, that's a good thing here.
1:15:12
So anyway, I want to thank everyone for tuning in and, you
1:15:25
know, friendly. Remember, mind, like I said,
1:15:27
American Inferno, the next book in the John Rider Shadows of
1:15:35
Deception saga, hits shelves or virtual shelves on Tuesday.
1:15:43
You can pick up your copy via Amazon and payback and ebook
1:15:52
audio book coming as soon, narrated by the great Doug
1:15:57
Green. That'll be coming later this
1:16:00
month, hopefully, if not early April.
1:16:04
And I really, I do think this is my best work and early reviews
1:16:10
have been great from some of the people in the author community.
1:16:14
So really help you guys enjoy this.
1:16:17
And I encourage you once again to, you know, please consider
1:16:23
checking out American Inferno and also purchasing the other
1:16:27
books in the Shadows of Deception Saga.
1:16:33
And with that folks, that'll do it for this show.
1:16:37
I will be back tomorrow with more theists for Bits and Bones
1:16:41
tomorrow night, 10:00 PM Eastern Saturday.
1:16:45
I know Max and Maxine will be doing a stream of their own.
1:16:49
And then I should be back Monday to do a Monday show, either pre
1:16:56
recorded or with a with a guest or maybe live, I don't know.
1:17:01
We'll see. So and thanks for you know,
1:17:05
bearing with me too as I navigate the new rumble studio
1:17:10
setup seems to be pretty good overall.
1:17:13
Still a few hiccups that I will you know what Rumble know about
1:17:20
such as guests not being able to join via the mobile app yet.
1:17:26
Apologies about that. Phil would have loved to have
1:17:30
you on and we will get you on at some point.
1:17:34
But I appreciate everyone for tuning in live who was able to
1:17:38
join me this morning and always appreciate those who you know
1:17:45
TuneIn and was invited the podcast as well on Spotify.
1:17:50
So really appreciate all of you. Thanks for tuning in and God
1:17:56
bless. Take care folks.
1:17:59
The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
1:18:03
speech that we have to put up with.
1:18:05
It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
1:18:09
It is the coursing lifeblood of human progress.
1:18:12
It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
1:18:16
understanding. What a laughing stock today's
1:18:20
student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
1:18:24
right to be offensive without realising that their lovely,
1:18:28
enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
1:18:34
Offensiveness is not just something we have to
1:18:36
begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
1:18:40
human progress. Thank you for watching the
