Scott Ritter: Iran DEMONSTRATED POWER vs. Israel, IDF truly lost war
this is why I say we have to have a
moderator to permanently ban people like
this because you are a you you you know
you you come across as a tough guy but I
know you I’ve known you for a long time
and your ego is very fragile and the
last thing I need is for you to break
down while we’re doing the podcast
because somebody put a mean comment in
Rumble actually it didn’t bother me do
you know
why because it was Ryan no because I’m
quite certain that I am sexy oh okay all
right also we had some anti-semitic
remarks we had some homophobic
remarks and uh I posted a comment saying
that um well basically SC scolding them
I didn’t delete them or ban them I
scolded them and then they uh took them
off themselves I like that that was
exactly the outcome that I wanted try
try to make censorship The Last
Resort yeah exactly
so Scott has been uh busy at work on an
article that’s coming probably this
weekend it’s a work in progress the name
of the new article is or will be dream
Georgia
dream what pre tell is the
topic well Georgia dream is the name of
the uh ruling party political party in
the Republic of Georgia
and right now there’s great controversy
Brewing over the passage of
legislation um basically it’s a foreign
agents registration act legislation um
you know like we have here like some
most democratic nations have you don’t
want uh foreign entities coming in and
um taking control of your your
democracy uh and one of the things that
you do to prevent this from happen
happening is to make sure that if um you
receive foreign monies uh that you have
to declare that and uh at some Junction
at some point in time based on the
legislation um if you cross a certain
threshold then you have to register as a
foreign agent that means that you are
literally working on behalf of a foreign
government
um Georgia the Georgian Dream party has
been uh tried last year to pass this
legislation and uh
they basically got swamped by uh
demonstrators and I don’t think they
were prepared for uh for that plus at
that time there was talk about um you
know there’s a lot of Georgians in um in
Ukraine right now fighting as part of
this Georgian Legion and um one of the
the head of that guy named mamuka um was
you know making noise about coming back
to Georg and leading at cou d’a um and
then uh you know forcefully overthrowing
the government government so that they
could open up a second front against
Russia using Georgia um and I mean this
kind of insanity took place so I think
they wisely took a step back but there’s
uh elections coming up in Georgia in
October and the concern of Georgia
dream is that uh if left unresolved um I
give you an example one of the there’s a
political party that draw a party um I’m
sure I mispronounced that but Siri will
let me know soon enough and uh
but they
um their leader inadvertently um on
social media disclosed that the only
reason why they were able to participate
in politics is that they received a very
generous Grant from uh a European Union
NGO um so basically you have one of the
major you know political parties of
Georgia bought and paid for by a forign
NGO and others are bought and paid for
by the National Endowment for democracy
that’s an American NGO that uh fronts
for the CIA I mean they were created
back in the 1980s uh to become a overt
cover for what the CIA was doing
covertly they admit it and they’re
founding documents um and this just
things of this nature the United States
through usaid the United States agency
for International
Development is basically trying to carry
out a um a soft coup a color Revolution
so to speak to throw out Georgia dream
because Georgia dream dared stand up and
say we don’t want to participate in the
sanctioning of Russia now let’s look how
smart Georgia dream is because they’re
being called a lot of names right now in
the European Union and European
Community um last year while the
European economy plummeted because they
made the wise decision to sanction
Russia um Georgia’s economy grew by
10.2% H but just in case everybody
thought that was an anomaly this year
Georgia which again does not participate
in the sanction of Russia uh the economy
grew by 10.3% are we seeing a pattern
here that maybe buying into European
Union suicide notes isn’t the the the
smart course and this is Georgia dreams
Point um that you know Georgia gets is a
sovereign state that has to make
decisions based upon what’s best for
Georgia and right now you have a
situation where you know the European
Union is um Georgia dream is a nice name
I agree course it’s a very nice name
it’s a nice party These are nice people
and they’re doing nice things for
Georgia like I said Georgia’s actually
growing uh and they’re not at war with
Russia that’s sort of a winner um I mean
the the the Prime Minister the who’s
also the head of the Georgia dream party
um you know basically said that one of
the reasons why they want the foreign
agent registration law is they don’t
want to see the ukrainization of Georgia
basically because what the United States
is trying to do to Georgia is what they
did to Ukraine get them to buy into this
EU nonsense this NATO nonsense use them
and throw them away disposable um
Ukraine was never going to be a member
of NATO Ukraine was never going to be a
member of the EU ever Georgia will never
be a member of the EU Georgia will never
be a member of NATO this is a straightup
honesty it’s not going to happen they
don’t qualify they never will qualify um
Georgia has far more in common with
Moscow than they do with Brussels and
this is the growing reality in there I
know there’s a lot of bitterness in
Georgia towards Russia especially
regarding what happened in South oaia
and in abazia but trust me there’s
plenty of blame to go around it’s not a
black and white issue uh but there is
there is residual resentment but today
the the Russians they’re not looking for
trouble the Russians are actually
engaged in extensive dialogue with the G
Georgians right now about how to create
the conditions to return abazia return
South oasia to Georgian sovereignty but
the key aspect this is not to have
Georgia run off and join the EU or join
NATO um Russia’s not going to play ball
under those conditions uh you know if
you if you want Russia to do good things
for you then you it’s not that you have
to do good things for Russia just don’t
be their
enemy that sort of Russia’s precondition
is U just don’t do us harm we’re not
asking you to be our slaves just don’t
do us harm and um and that’s sort of is
the the approach of Georgia dream but
you know it’s time Georgia you know have
right now you have a bunch of kids
running around the street who have
bought into this notion of Easy Money
free money because that’s what they’re
getting they’re getting free money from
the EU to organize and life is good and
life is easy they think that what’s
going to happen if they you
know head in this direction is that
they’re all going to get these great
jobs where they get to wear stylish
clothes go to some fancy building sit in
an office and drink lattes while they
stare at a computer screen and do Jack
Squat and get paid well for it that’s
not how life Works guys um Georgia dream
understands that you have to work your
butt off you have to get out there and
do things Georgia dream is composed of
genuine Georgian uh Patriots who have a
work ethic who have you know traditional
Family Values you know America we get to
do what we want I mean if we want to
sync our ship sync our ship uh you know
if Joe Biden wants to nullify Title Nine
so now that uh if I were going back to
college I could identify as a woman and
uh maybe star on a female basketball
team and take a scholarship away from a
real woman um that’s what America wants
to do that’s what America wants Georgia
doesn’t want to play that game Georgia
is a place where a man is a man and a
woman is a woman well- defined roles and
uh Georgia doesn’t want to play the
transgendered game or the homosexual
game or any other one of these Western
games now we don’t have to agree with
Georgia but we need to respect the fact
that that’s how Georgia chooses to
Define itself and I’m here to tell you
Georgians if you’re watching you have
far more in common with Russia which
also Embraces your style of traditional
family values because the Russians don’t
do transgendered very well and they
don’t do you homosexuality I think the
Russian approach is do what you want
just don’t do it in public um we’re not
going to prosecute you but we’re not
going to promote you um but
transgendered is out uh there won’t be
any title n problems in Russia women
know what they are men know what they
are women are treated with great respect
women can rise to high positions it’s
not like the women are you know barefoot
and pregnant in the uh in the kitchen
they’re out there in in the labor force
uh and that’s that’s the way they Rock
it’s not the way we rock here in America
but that’s our business but we can’t
impose our business on their business um
but you know this is what the article
about and the one thing I’m I’m
encouraging them at the end is it’s time
for the Georgians to start uh thinking
less about the EU and more about bricks
bricks is the wave of the future it’s
time for people to jump on the bricks
train you know because that’s it baby
the bricks train has left the station
and it’s moving on and get on or you’ll
be left behind and here George there is
no EU train no EU train will ever show
up at the station for you the EU doesn’t
like you Europe doesn’t like you they
don’t think you’re really European they
think you’re Asian Pro hint you are um
sorry you’re Asian I guess but uh you’re
not European you’re not one of them they
don’t view you as one of them the
Russians view you as part of the family
you were part of the family part of the
the Soviet family for the long time
there was a guy named um Stalin yeah a
lot of Russians like Stalin Stalin was
Georgian um the relations can be
repaired the Russians uh want to live in
peace and Harmony we are all Georgians
uh depends which Georgians he’s talking
about like I said there’s a bunch of
little kids running around with you know
if you’re a Georgian you’re out in the
streets ofi waving the European Union
flag you ain’t Georgian and we’ll just
leave it at that all right the article
is coming this weekend Scott you will
get it either tonight or tomorrow I just
wanted to update it there’s um there’s
stuff happening right now in Georgia
that uh what I didn’t want to do is
commit to an article in in haste only to
uh you have have you publish and I go ah
something happened so I’m gonna let I’m
gonna let a news cycle go through just
to make sure everything’s caught up all
right better to be accurate than to be
quick so you can read it this weekend
Folks at Scott Ritter extra.com
so let’s get to the questions from our
beloved audience we take some in advance
and we take some live and before we get
to New questions we have a little
housekeeping to take care of uh there
was a question that came last week that
stumped the inspector and we put an
asterisk on it and Scott said he would
look into it and give us an answer
tonight asterisk
asterisk well there’s four Asters I only
heard
twice I’m you were coughing you were
coughing over
it how could Maran barudi how could he
unite Palestinians and why everybody
respects him Marwan
boui is a Palestinian activist or
Patriot depending on what term you want
to
use they call him the father of the
first and second in fadas he’s the man
who motivated the rising he um he was
close with fat the the the military Wing
or the political wing of the Palestinian
Liberation Organization later he got a
little disenchanted with them and he
created his own offshoot called tanzim I
believe uh but he was arrested by the
Israelis in 2002 and he’s been in prison
ever since um they’ve given him five
life sentences they don’t want to let
him go they’ve accused him of a a great
number of crimes since he was the leader
of the in and any Israeli who died
during that time he’s the murder pinned
or their deaths are pinned on him
um they um he right now the the Hamas is
demanding his release Israel won’t uh it
won’t consider it the Palestinians are
uh petitioning because if this guy if
there was an election today um the
feeling is that he would win the
election hand down even though he’s in
prison he would beat aboss uh the
current uh the current president and he
would beat the lead the Hamas leader um
you know so this band’s very popular uh
at one time he believed in a peace
process he no longer believes in a peace
process he doesn’t believe uh that
Israel is a is a goodan how could he
he’s been in Israeli prison for 22 years
and I think he understands the LA latest
rumor was that the Israelis are so
pissed off at the Palestinians that
they’re taking it out on him in prison
right now beating him up nice people
Israelis but so yeah I think bar barg
goodi could be the man if they if they
released him and let him participate in
the elections I think he could be the
next president of Palestine it would be
nice if uh nations in the security
Council maybe sat down and and did that
I mean maybe they could even put it up
for oh no America would veto it because
we
suck all
right a little bit of an unorthodox
conclusion to your answer I’m going to
conclude that you have finished and move
on to the next question the first of our
new questions this is from expat 84 in
Toronto what do you think of reports
that Saudi Arabia assisted in defending
Israel during Iran’s retaliation I ask
because while such reports could of
course be true I kind of think the
smacks of
disinformation well Saudi Arabia has
made it clear over time that it will
defend its Sovereign airspace for
instance when the hoodi the Ella
movement in Yemen fires rockets and
drones at Israel and those rockets and
drones go over Saudi airspace Saudi
Arabia has been shooting them down uh
because Saudi Arabia says that it’s
unauthorized they didn’t give clearance
and it’s a violation of sovereignty Etc
so if Iran fired or launch drones cruise
missiles or ballistic missiles that came
into Saudi Arabian airspace Saudi Arabia
has every right to um to deny them
access and shoot them down uh as they
should uh if especially if Saudi Arabia
didn’t coordinate with them Advance this
was an an
Iranian this was an Iranian Israeli
issue Saudi Arabia should stay out now
if that’s the case um but if Saudi
Arabia was communicating with the United
States Great Britain uh Israel sharing
data
coordinating um their suppression of the
Iranian attack then Saudi Arabia is in
the wrong so I think we have to find out
what exactly the role of Saudi Arabia
was were they simply defending their
airspace or were they part of a
coordinated um air defense campaign
against Iran we don’t
know next question comes from vad who
calls himself a globe Trotter what if
mccrone is more clever than perceived
harboring a strategic plan first he
dispatches a modest Force to adessa
anticipating a Russian strike following
this he SE seeks American Support under
the NATO treaty expecting denial this
refusal strengthens his case for rapidly
advancing the concept of a European
Army the mind of the lad what do you
think about
that Vlad the logic works up until the
last
sentence rapidly
advancing ain’t nothing rapidly
advancing in Europe so especially in the
framework of you know the European Union
or the European
commission
um and then even if they did rapidly
Advance the concept how do you uh bring
it up I mean the Germans are trying to
rapidly deploy a brigade to Lithuania
the 45th Lithuanian armor Brigade um
they’re not gonna be able to do it until
um 2027 that’s pretty rapid for them and
uh the French you know you know that
that Brigade they’re trying to get over
into Romania rapidly um it may not be
able to get there in full until next
year so basically
um the European definition of rapid and
the um normal definition of rapid are
two totally different things the and the
MC’s just not that clever he’s not a
clever man uh first of all um any leader
that sacrifices his troops in that in
that nature is no leader at all um you
know so you’re saying that this whole
thing is predicated on him sending
French soldiers into Ukraine on purpose
to die um I don’t uh I don’t see that
happening and then the other I mean
you’re right America would reject
Article 5 so with all of NATO um but
they’re rejecting Article 5 because
they’re not looking for a fight with
Russia so why would you have an existing
NATO
infrastructure
um you’re not going to H how in this age
of um reduced budgets and reduced
resources do you tell European nations
um continue to invest in Nat but oh by
the way because I’ve decided I want to
play
Napoleon we need you to also rapidly
rapidly build a um a new European
Defense
organization I mean it’s clever Vlad
that’s kind of stuff that I mean I’m
people should throw ideas out like this
but I just think it fails uh pretty much
across the board in terms
of reality a reality check but thanks
for asking the question it’s a good uh
good intellectual
exercise well you know what Lily tommen
says reality is for people who can’t
cope with
drugs I’m a very realistic person
apparently hey if you want to talk to uh
the inspector live uh on the phone call
us at
52525 8359 looking for people who aren’t
regular callers we love the regular
callers but let’s uh spice it up a
little bit with some newbies
52525
8359 next question is from Ryan you have
a cough uh I can’t ignore it anymore
what’s going on
Scott I’m dying but that’s okay wow
we’re all dying every day is one step
closer yeah some at a faster Pace than
others is this a recur recurring thing
or something new or I guess you can’t
really tell huh I think basically I uh
haven’t gotten too much sleep and I’ve
been working too hard so it’s catching
up all right I’ll uh I’ll use my gentle
voice in that case Ryan in Ontario did
the drones used in Saturday’s attack uh
oh Trump in
court
impression make America great
again who who would have ever thought
that that the selection of jurors is a
boring activity that might make somebody
doze I would have thought it would be
exciting did the drones used in
Saturday’s attack have operators or were
they
automated I don’t know I don’t even know
if it’s been confirmed there were drones
in Saturday’s attack there’s just a lot
that’s uh that’s Unknown about this uh
about this attack it it appears to have
been so lowkey and so deniable um so as
to make sure that the Iranians didn’t
misinterpret the signals of low key
deniability sent by the Israelis so they
wouldn’t launch their massive missile
attack so
um the died from laughter that’s pretty
much it man um you know I’ll tell you
what whatever happened whatever happened
last night first of all kept me up all
night bastards um waiting for the news
that never came I thought for sure it
was the real deal I thought the Israelis
had launched their attack I was waiting
for the Iranians to make good on their
massive missile attack and it just never
happened which is a good thing um we
just need to draw a line in the sand and
get the hell out of this this situation
um I think Iran’s made that decision I
think um I think Israel’s made that
decision United States has definitely
made that decision this
um this stupidity of um of tit fortat
and all that it is what it is Iran’s
made it clear look what we can say is
based upon the Israeli reaction they
know the Iranians aren’t messing around
all right because they thought the
Iranians were messing around they
thought the Iranians didn’t have any
capability Israel just come in and
Pummel tried to Pummel Iran but Israel
knows that Iran was locked and cocked
and ready to rock they were getting
ready to send a thousand missiles and
Israel also knows that um a lot of
missiles a lot more missiles hit them
than they’ve admitted um on on the on
the 14th so I think Israel did what they
did the Iranians went that was pretty
pathetic but that’s okay uh we’re just
going to move on they got bigger things
remember that bricks train that I was
talking about Iran’s not only on the
bricks train they’re in the VIP car up
front um they’re hanging out with the
Russians and the dining car drinking
well they don’t drink champagne because
they’re good Pious Muslims but they’re
drinking grape juice apple juice um
something um you know but they’re
they’re they’re doing well and they are
looking forward to you know getting on
to Bricks uh you know getting their
economy up and running plus remember
they’re they’re committed to the
Palestinian cause and um Hamas is
winning the Palestinians are winning I
mean it’s a ugly defeat it’s a bloody
defeat it’s a tragic defeat but they’re
winning and Iran doesn’t want to disrupt
this Victory U and and make and moot all
the sacrifice that’s been made by
stealing the the the headlines stealing
the attention having the light shine on
them they don’t want a war with Israel
they don’t need a war with Israel and I
think right now you’re not going to get
too many people digging too deep early
on about what exactly happened the other
night people are going to be
um people are you know going to be
speculating and and we’ll get to the
truth but I think by the time we get to
the truth it’s going to be so far
removed from the the actual date that it
just becomes politically
irrelevant all right we have a few
people on hold on the phone let’s take a
call here hey there you’re on with our
favorite weapons inspector talk to him
in your gentle soothing voice he’s under
the weather and
coughing okay I have read that Lebanon
and Israel are in dispute about oil and
gas reserves in their neighboring Waters
and that Lebanon in opposition to
Lebanon claim that part of those belong
to them have started to started the
infrastructure to extract that and so
I’m just wondering Scott if you know
anything about that because Lebanon is
in very very bad economics Straits
thanks for taking my call thanks for
calling um You Can Tell She’s deeply
concerned about you being under the
water it’s touching go on I’m glad
somebody is I am I am are you Jeff are
you or you just you just propping me up
for the two hours and then when we’re
done you’re gonna say die um anyways
um what what what was her name an an
yeah what an’s talking about is off the
coast of Israel Lebanon Palestine Egypt
there’s giant between Israel and Cypress
there’s giant um gas Fields
um potentially oil but primarily gas um
under the water and uh the thing about a
gas field is that it uh it doesn’t care
about lines on a map it is what it is uh
but lines on a map
are linked to reality economic zones of
interest and all that stuff so when you
when you
extend
um the exact legal terminology is going
to escape me so please all you maritime
lawyers out there I’m going to speak in
general terms don’t hold me too much to
account but there’s exclusive economic
zones I think is something that is
talked about there’s also the
territorial Waters that extend out I
believe 12 miles uh but so you draw
lines off of the map the border and you
extend it out there and that’s how you
define your ezs your exclusive economic
zones which belong to Israel or Lebanon
what the Israelis did when they uh
because they had this big old gas field
and they didn’t want to share it with
the Lebanese imagine why not so they
drew the line coming off of uh the
mainland and they they skewed it up a
little bit so sh to the north so that
they took in uh the the the gas field
the totality of it
um and Hezbollah not Lebanon Hezbollah
said that ain’t G to fly we want that
line put the way it should be extending
off the
um off the map and um and that that
stuff belongs to us and
um Hezbollah made it clear that they
were willing to go to war over this and
so the United States flew in people
everybody flew in people and they
negotiated in Hezbollah one the map was
drawn the way they wanted now Lebanon
has gone out there to do initial
exploration and unfortunately for
Lebanon I don’t think that they have um
unlike Israel which has found you know
viable pockets and has begun extraction
and things of that nature um the
Lebanese have yet to uh hit money um but
they’re they’re they’re they’re trying
um now my information is like six months
old um I haven’t seen any headlines um
that would suggest that six months ago
that what what was real back then is
today the fact that Ann’s calling
me has an alarm going off of my head
because unless she’s like a energy
security expert uh who sits on this
information it indicates she might have
read something recently which means
somebody’s writing about it somewhere
which means there might have been an
update so what’s that magic word we use
again there Jeff we we call it it begins
with an a and ends with a
risk asterisk that one asterisk we shall
put a double vocalized asterisk on um on
this question because I’m going to go
and um and do the research to find out
if there’s something current going on
that may update what I just said because
I don’t want to impart misleading
information to people so I I need to go
back and um and dig on that one but um
thanks for the call and uh thanks for
motivating me to go and learn more about
what the hell’s going on off the shore
of
Lebanon enough
said hey there you’re on with our
favorite weapons inspector how are you
tonight hello
hi okay do you have a
question yeah hi hi Jeff hi SC
I watched your interview with garl Nixon
a few days ago so two Corrections and
one question if you don’t mind two
Corrections in one question in a heavy
accent yeah can we can we endure this
Scott what do you think sorry do you
understand me or all right try try not
to take forever
please okay so the word you were trying
to find was Haram not hamam
come on give me a break someone
corrected okay great so the second
correction is you said that Iran stopped
exporting their Islamic revolution in
1985 so that can’t be really true
because in the early 90s Iran exported
thousands of jihadists
and about a dozen of Planes full of
weapons with silent USA support into
Bosnia
so they were exporting their Islamic
revolution to a p islamist that left the
Bosnian muss so maybe you got that wrong
the date
the and uh the question the last
question is uh you said that Iran could
build a gun typ nuclear weapon and that
if they detonate that uh the Israel will
be inhabitable for a thousand years if
I’m not mistaken a gun type nuclear
weapon was used on Nagasaki and
Hiroshima don’t and it’s habitable today
so would you explain
that all right before you hang up did
you understand the question Scott yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay he got it
thanks a lot take
care um I mean that’s a good point uh
Nagasaki and hirosa were both bombed
with the nuclear bombs one was a
plutonium bomb one was a uh a uranium
bomb and um they’re both you know
habitable places today um so
uh and yeah Chernobyl they they had a
horrible accident but it’s it’s an
exclusion area um I think maybe if uh if
Iran was to use a gun style weapon
similar to
um uh was it fat man or little boy boy
um one was an implosion weapon one was a
gun weapon I would think it was probably
little boy that’s the gun weapon fat man
sounds like he’s round and rotund uh
which would be good for an implosion but
I could be wrong on that too anybody out
there want to correct me go ahead um so
I mean yeah maybe uh I’m wrong
Scott what am I wrong about um I mean I
have no problem being wrong I’ve been
wrong many many times
but um if if um if Israel I mean if Iran
used a gun style weapon um against an
Israeli city uh maybe it’s hyperbole to
say it wouldn’t be uh inhabitable for a
thousand years using the Nagasaki and
Hiroshima um examples if on the other
hand they used a um you know a modern
thermonuclear weapon that generated some
pretty dirty um Isotopes um I could be
correct so
under the scenario that I put in I stand
corrected I will I’ll take the loss on
this one I spoke out my ass and um and
made a hyper hyperbolic hyperbolic
hyperbolic a hyperbolic an exaggeration
I exaggerated
irresponsibly and um I think he’s taking
advantage of you while you’re under the
weather and just you ordinarily would be
more feisty I think no no no I’m gonna
know there’s some feisty in me left I
got it because I’m going to take UMD one
of my favorite words at the Bosnia thing
um I I think that Iran wasn’t exporting
Islamic revolution to Bosnia Iran was
supporting a um a fellow Muslim entity
um and uh and they they went in and they
provided a and I know this because I
have a friend who uh was in the military
at the time and he had some closeup and
personal um communication with uh
Iranian revolutionary guards in Bosnia
um the kind that only he walked away
from so you know there was violence um
and they they they did provide weapons
and they were there and uh you know and
all that but that’s not a revolution
that’s providing assistance where the
I’m gonna watch it where the heck is the
revolution what they’re not exporting
Revolution where was the revolution they
were exporting don’t conflate provide in
assistance material assistance at the
same time by the way that the United
States and NATO were providing
assistance to the croats and you know
and things of that nature of you know
the bosnians got assistance from the um
the Revolutionary guard and the United
States paid attention and we sent people
in and made them pay a price um which
and then some of them had stayed there
they they intermarried it’s sort of what
happened in South Lebanon where you had
mingling of people but this was not the
exportation of the Revolution there’s a
distinction between exporting revolu
ution trying to encourage an Islamic
Revolt uh a Shia Islamic revolt against
things like they were doing in eastern
Saudi Arabia for instance or in Bahrain
uh or elsewhere um fat man was an
implosion thank you with a solid tonium
cor well how come that person said I was
wrong I’m hurt what was I wrong about
I’m really curious about this one you
are wrong
Scott please tell me where I was wrong
but I take I I don’t agree with you on
your assessment about bosia that’s why I
with my uh my 1980s date but again
um there there’s topics that I have
extensive knowledge on and I will go to
war over there’s topics that I have less
than extensive knowledge on and I will
yield to those who correct me so if you
think I’m wrong if you think I’ve got
this one wrong and I admit I could I
could say that I have a that I that I
haven’t interpreted the data correctly
if you have evidence that
shows that the people dispatched to
Bosnia or sent to foment an Islamic
revolution um share it with me and I
will be more than happy to uh to to
re-evaluate my stance on this but right
now I I I don’t think that what happened
in Bosnia fits the definition of Islamic
revolution it was more like material
assistance to a fellow Muslim
entity all right well let’s see what uh
Larry C Johnson thinks about this I mean
I agree with Scott so
good man you know he there’s a time when
he he he would challenge me you know we
we had a little little fuss up about um
about you know game changing and uh but
he learned his lesson he’s reformed
every time we talk to Larry he he he
backs me up so I I’m really appreciated
of that Larry all right I believe in
Redemption uh let’s take this is an
international call this number looks
Vaguely Familiar I asked for newbies to
call so let’s
see hey there you’re on with our
favorite weapons inspector is this Mark
in Ireland or somebody
else Jeff how you doing it’s Mark from
irand yeah thanks for ignoring my
request thank you so much for ignoring
my have a b r for
you okay he
yeah okay right and by the way at the
very end I’m gonna give you a couple of
suggestions for some T-shirts okay okay
all right but uh I want to call out Ron
Paul he was on Judge in a palatano the
other day and I call bulit he had uh
what you call it um uh saman the power
and and he was questioning her about
what US Aid had done right now all well
and good but he should have had the
person who was actually in charge of
usaid in front of the Senate and
answering question not her but the
person who was in charge and he should
have had a federal judge and a federal
prosecutor he said he had has evidence
why not hand it over to them and say
look at here there’s the evidence you’re
the prosecutor you’re the judge send out
the West once right all right this is
not the Ron Paul complaint line Mark you
might have dialed the wrong number I no
no no no no no no no no there’s a method
in the madness trust me all
right you had you had uh judge n
palatano and he had uh oh he’s Sante
he’s good friend from the Trends Journal
yeah and he was talking about
uh that that when when the person was
stood in front of the police station and
he was given out about the brutality of
the police and then somebody threw a
stone hit a police officer and the next
minute he’s in court and uh the court
threw it out the next another Court
brought it up went to the Supreme the
Supreme pushed it back down again and
stuff like that okay
now my take on that and he was talking
about the first and the Fourth Amendment
but it it’s it it’s actually they’re
going after Trump because that’s they’re
trying to use that as H what you call it
precedent of actually
shown and that’s my opinion okay that’s
just my opinion at the end of the day
that’s that’s the way I look at it you
can throw it up to judge in a Pat and
ask them that simple question basically
speaking do you think that they’re
trying to go with that
angle uh ozie kazak I don’t know if
youve been on his show Scott but uh you
should be familiar enough with him that
he is living in the uh Russian Embassy
in Australian Sydney but he had
um a general by the name of he’s no he’s
never
Andre I sorry Jeff but there is a m
mettis in the my my my madness I’m sorry
I have a wedding to go to in October so
I hope I’ll I’ll you won’t hold me up
okay but he was talking to him while he
got a phone call from ABC News and they
CH they they wanted to try and get him
on a on a sort of sort of like for for
for what happened on a stabbing in um in
Australia that guy who went stabbed
inside the the mall in in
Bondi the BBC tried the same thing uh
Mrs Spring came on to him his show again
but he had the
Russian lawyer who defended um Saddam
Hussein which I think
if up on this guy what well don’t hang
up but we we do need to get to the point
I mean um Unk I mean I told you like
three four
times yeah okay the point was I’m going
to go back to what I said to you about a
week ago about uh fena and the fact that
he he suggested that they maybe Sue and
they got the people to donate which I
think a lot of people would actually do
it around the world all the other
yourselves uh redacted Jan whoever at
the end of the day you want to turn
around say that if you had a sort of
like your own sort of like Law Firm that
lik of jul Sange to turn around do that
okay okay uh to actually fund it now
Jeff I can’t for t-shirt raise money for
the show 20 seconds yeah I know you’re
going to kill yourself but that’s that’s
the the the T-shirt okay the t-shirt for
the show I recommend that you have
yourself looking like because you love
your hats you know what I mean you love
your hat um dressed as uh Indiana Jones
which says as inspect on the top and
you’ve got three minutes at the bottom
okay thank you byebye Scott you could
turn around and I can’t I can’t take
this guy I can’t take well actually I I
like that T-shirt idea uh the other
stuff look I I I’m not an illegal um
expert I um I I I dabble in law when
required to but um I um I you’re it’s
it’s over my head I mean and why Rand
Paul did what he did he’s a senator he’s
not he’s not a prosecutor his job isn’t
to convict or anything his job is to
score political points that’s what they
do in Congress if you’re waiting for a
judge and a prosecutor to come up and
make some sort of Legally um you know uh
sufficient um move it’ll never happen
and the other stuff I just don’t know
enough about so I I mean I I’ve I’ve had
Aussie kasac I’ve talked to him before
I’ve been on his show I like him and I
understand that there’s a lot of dirty
tricks trying to be played against him
it is what it is right you know Scott I
think there may be no more than four
people in the entire world who don’t
have their own podcast now and I think
Mark might be one of
them and I think he needs his own
podcast well Jeff you’re good at uh
setting people up you could set mark up
for the mark the mark podcast yeah
democracy brewing in California what
would happen if Iran told Israel to stop
its genocide against the Palestinians or
else well
nothing Israel would ignore it um and
then Iran would be struggling to figure
out how do they um how do they
operationalize the or else under the
rule of law um it’s a tri you know it’s
it’s a tricky one Iran’s not going to do
that they’re not in the business of
doing the or else um they they operate
under the rule of law
and that would just be an empowering
move for uh for Israel it would
strengthen Israel’s hand uh Israel
suddenly becomes the victim we don’t
want Israel to be the victim we like the
not like but we we you know Israel’s the
per we don’t want them to become the
victims so Iran’s not going to do
anything to help facilitate that so I
don’t think that scenario would ever
come to fruition if Iran ever did I
think the Israel would just ignore them
and wait for the or
Els all right we have a voicemail
message from Phil in London and no I’m
not sure if it’s that Phil but maybe
you’ll
remember hi Scott uh Phil from London
here in my view for Europe to have an
independent foreign policy it needs to
get closer to Russia do you
agree
well I think this the the the
the the hidden part of that question is
um the implication is
that by being close to the United States
the United States basically just takes
over everything and that Europe just
becomes an extension of American
policy and so but before you go over
towards Russia
I think the first thing is that Europe
has to become Europe what is Europe how
do you define Europe um I mean is
the is the European Union really the the
true face of Europe the European Union
is
dysfunctional um I mean just ask uh you
know Germany and France to come up with
a unified economic
theory they can’t just look at the case
study of
Greece so I I and I don’t think Europe
wants to be in anybody’s orbit and I
don’t think Russia wants Europe in its
orbit um I think what Russia would like
is to have a good trading partner um and
I’ll use Ambassador anaton antonov’s
favorite word predictability they want a
predictable European partner so someone
that you know if you don’t want to be
Russia’s friend at least be consistent
you know but here we have a situation
where imagine you’re the Russians and
sitting there going all right we sell
gas for a living um the Europeans say
they want to sanction us hell the
Americans blew up the nordstream
pipeline everybody’s screaming how evil
we are um and we really we don’t want to
hang around these guys but we do enjoy
the paycheck that comes when they buy
our gas and they’re still buying our gas
what the hell is going on where’s the
predictability in this we got the
Europeans screaming about how they have
to be divorced from Russian gas how evil
we are how bad it is to buy and yet they
keep buying it in fact they want to buy
more Europe is dysfunctional so um I
don’t think Russia wants Europe close to
them Who Wants A Dysfunctional Friend I
mean it’s like get your act together
then we can go out and have a beer but
until then uh stay over there with the
Americans they they they deserve you I
think Phil deserves uh extra points for
his bravil quence after the previous
call I appreciate that
breviloquent Dave from Olympia
Washington are nuclear missiles rendered
inert if they are shot down or can they
still detonate when they fall to the
ground they could still detonate I mean
there’s there’s safety mechanism built
in um the specifications of which are
not going to be shared on on a podcast
to the world but um you know if if you
build a nuclear weapon without safeties
in it uh yeah I mean look at the history
of the testing of the Trinity device and
things of that nature um you know if if
if if if there had been an accident if
uh something happened that triggered the
um look a gun device the dangerous part
is if you if you trigger the gun and it
fires that slug into the uh into the
target that’s what gets the boom Going
On An implosion device you need actually
all of the high explosive lenses that
surround this device to detonate as
they’re designed to do generally
speaking instantly but again with
sophisticated designs and you know now
we get into you know physics and we get
into waves and how to how to shape the
waves how how you design the lens so
when it blows up you get the waves to
compress it at the same time perfectly
you know and if uh if if you get 90% of
them to go off but 10% don’t that whole
wave design is out the window and you
get a you get a fizzle you get a partial
um but you still get something going
boom um most modern all modern nuclear
weapons um in the United States Arsenal
and in the Russian Arsenal and the you
know the the Chinese Arsenal the French
Arsenal the British Arsenal have
multiple safeties built in uh to
preclude this sort of thing um one would
hope that Israel has these safeties
built in one would hope that you know
the United States did work closely with
the pakistanis to get safeties put in
there uh and that the Indians have it um
but
you I don’t know I don’t know you know
what their what their standards are Etc
it’s it’s possible um depending on on
your design at what point in time do you
um unsafe the weapon I mean when when
when in the flight because you know
missiles do malfunction so what happens
if you send a nuke up let’s say we send
one of our lovely Minuteman threes up
and we decided what the hell we’re in a
good mood and we’re going to upgrade it
from one Warhead to three Warheads so we
got three wonderful American
thermonuclear Warheads loaded on to This
Minute Man 3 and profit goes to the wild
BL we’re going to take out three Russian
cities because we’re so happy today and
then the missile starts spinning like a
like a Roman candle and we blow it up
but the WarHeads jettison and um they’re
in the
water you
know are they
active did as it launched the United
States program in you know the the
safeties come off and so the thing’s
ready to go or do they stay safe up
until a particular Point uh the point of
no return where does that point reached
um that’s nuclear weapons design I’m not
going to get into it because Frankly
Speaking I don’t know the answers for
for this so uh but the the the thing is
you even if the weapon itself is
safe the the fyson material is still
there um so it’s entirely possible that
somebody could uh gain access to that
Warhead and then you know if they smart
enough people um disassemble it and gain
access to the fysal core um which is the
the hard part
um the the the easiest thing out of this
question is why don’t we just stop
making nuclear weapons and uh then we
don’t have to worry about it that would
be a nice thing all right great answer
to a very sensitive issue a lot of
people to them you know it’s just a word
nuclear weapons nuclear weapons they
don’t really understand uh what’s
involved in it
so thanks for that let’s take another
phone call hi there please lower the
volume on your computer or phone and
what is your question for
Scott my question for Scott is the um I
don’t understand the La Flair
attitude uh that people have nowadays
relative to nukes uh it’s almost like a
com see com so who cares or something
I’m a little older than Scott I grew up
with that fear and my other question is
if there are um uh if there are nukes on
Earth um why not have them in space what
the heck’s the difference with this
point thanks so much okay thank
you your mic’s off scott well I was
coughing I didn’t want to uh cough in
front of somebody’s question
um look I agree with you I I’ve said
I’ve talked about this many many times
how I grew up in absolute fear of
nuclear weapons because it was part of
my daily reality as a kid growing up I
mean we lived right next door to North
Point nuclear weapon storage facility in
Germany and um if there was a war that
thing was going up we were going to die
um I mean nuclear weapons I was
convinced when I joined the Marine Corps
that there was going to be a nuclear war
I mean I was in a nuclear capable
artillery unit uh that trained um to
to employ nuclear weapons uh but then I
had the honor and PR privilege of being
part of the intermediate nuclear forces
treaty and we
began the process of nuclear disarmament
um and I was hopeful and I think what
happened is the the Soviet Union went
away and
disarmament became sort of P you know oh
yeah it’s like you know when Neil
Armstrong landed on the moon that a big
deal whole world was
watching but just a couple years later
we got dudes landed on the Moon driving
around in Moon buggies you know doing
wheelies hitting golf balls collecting
rocks doing cool stuff and nobody cared
because like oh yeah they went to the
moon again H so what um and it just
became sort of p and I think today
people just forgot how dangerous nuclear
weapons are
they if you don’t like what someone
comments ignore them or laugh at them
I’ll do my best I will do my best to
ignore them or laugh I’m trying to grow
up but there’s you know some people say
it’s important to retain your inner
child and so I’ve retained a lot of my
inner child but every once a while that
means that I go into an ugly temper
tantrum you get to see what
three-year-old Scott was like in a 62y
old man’s body um but that didn’t even H
that didn’t even happen tonight why is
he scolding you for something you didn’t
even do I don’t know maybe he’s waiting
for his
moment he got his moment first of all he
typed it in it was our producer that
made it public um yeah Ryan Milton
Chrome Dome as we call him in the
neighborhood he’s a troublemaker wait
wait wait wait I was def I think he was
defending you I know I look look at me
smiling I’m a happy guy I’m laughing
about it hum don’t attack the messenger
why not who I by the way Scott if if if
you uh I just want to tell you uh we are
gonna have some trivia questions later
if you can hang in there but I
understand I’m here I’m here for the
ride Jeff I’m here for the ride all
right R and Ryan’s Ryan’s gonna play
like he did last week too I’m studying
right now cheater no no no you don’t
know the questions there’s nothing to
study get out of here but going back to
the question um yeah I don’t know why
people aren’t scared of nuclear weapons
today it frustrated me you know I went
and saw that movie opener um good movie
deserved all the awards I could get but
the nuclear bomb didn’t scare me and it
didn’t scare anybody in the audience um
there wasn’t this sense of fear about it
because it hell we unfortunately I saw
Dune the week before or no I mean not
the week four but I saw some cool movie
uh I did just recently see Dune special
effects are great that movie scared me
none of it’s real it’s about a freaking
universe that doesn’t exist full of
things that don’t exist and that scared
me the way they did it but here on Earth
watching them make the Aton there was no
fear factor I didn’t I wasn’t sitting
there shaking and I should have been but
and and neither was anybody in the
audience today um I I think we need to
become very very scared of nuclear
weapons um let me say something should
scare everybody how many people know
that yesterday uh one of the senior
officers in the Iranian revolutionary
guard command said that if Israel
attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities that
Iran is probably going to rethink their
stance on nuclear weapons meaning that
right now they have fatwa religious
edicts that make it uh remember that
gentleman it called and I I would have
said hamam but he corrected me and he
said Haram see I learned old dog new
trick baby um be
Haram against against the U you know the
Edict of the ayatolla um but the uh the
fact is now they’re saying we’d rethink
it and has anybody thought through the
consequences that because Iran could
have a functional nuclear weapon in less
than two weeks um and what has the
United States and Israel committed to if
Iran develops nuclear weapons attacking
them but now Iran has nuclear weapons so
to attack them Iran has missile that
will hit Israel now Israel goes
boom are you guys scared yet is anybody
scared you should be what about the
French the French General that sat up
there and talked about how France has
200 thermonuclear weapons and Russia
would be very afraid because France
could destroy 200 Russian
cities have you thought about what the
consequences of that would be
um guys this isn’t a game Haram Haram
Haram I get it I got it um this isn’t a
game this is reality nuclear weapons are
real and we have here in the United
States a nuclear weapons posture um you
know that says we can preemptively use
nuclear weapons hell we went out and
build so-called usable nukes imagine
that usable nukes they’re designed to be
used not deterrence we’re going to use
them preemptively low yield nothing to
worry about no Thousand-Year poisoning
baby so let’s just blow the [ __ ] out of
everybody
guys nuclear weapons are very bad uh we
need to get rid of them this should be
the number one priority of everybody on
Earth getting rid of nuclear weapons but
hell it’s not even on your bingo card
you know so Bo now he had me reflect on
nuclear weapons and then he asked part
two of his
question Ryan I know you have a good
memory you’re a young man you have a
bald head so what was part two of his
question oh I don’t remember at all God
damn it you’re talking about the comment
that was flashed on the screen no no no
the gentleman who called he he said he’s
older than me nuclear weapons be afraid
and what honey oh and use them in space
use them in space Oh nuclear weapons in
space why yeah why not use them in
space
well remember that the ban on nuclear
weapons in space dates back to 1968 when
the outer space treaty was signed and
that was part of an eort effort to limit
the
um the the the spread of nuclear weapons
that’s when we’re we’re in the midst of
this this nuclear arms race and it was
out of control so you know we couldn’t
stop building ballistic missiles and
missile defense at that time we’re still
doing it but the idea was okay we’re
we’re going insane here let’s put a
check up top let’s let’s blank that out
let’s just say that space isn’t going to
be used for nuclear weapons but when you
read the treaty it also talks about the
prohibition of the militarization of
space now we have a situation because
the Russians believe that the United
States is already militarized space and
we have um and so one of the things the
Russians are saying
or that the the Russians aren’t saying
it at all’re actually the Russians are
saying they’re not doing anything but I
would imagine that um the Russians when
looking at the satellite
networks that we have deployed into
space know that if they put off a fairly
decent sized electromagnetic uh pulse up
there
our entire satellite infrastructure goes
blind and we can’t function um that’s
why the United States is putting such an
emphasis on it right now because the
United States is scared to death we have
spent a lot of money putting satellites
up to give us complete connectivity
makes everything work in theory um and I
mean I mean everything our entire way of
fighting our entire way of
functioning yeah the Dave Crockett
tactical missile um Battlefield rocket
um but the the the entire way of war is
defined by these satellites we put up
there and one little EMP and they’re all
gone so America’s in a panic right now a
panic about nuclear weapons in outer
space but I mean you’re right I mean we
can blow them up on Earth why not blow
them in space let me give you a pro hint
if we use nuclear weapons on Earth
they’re going to go off upstairs too I
can guarantee you you don’t have to
actually design a weapon do that you can
just make it happen and one somebody’s
going to make it happen to silence all
the satellites but it doesn’t matter
because we’re all going to die I don’t
know are we um because I’ve been told
that places on Earth won’t be
contaminated for Thousand Years now so
maybe we can just look forward to living
in cities that have been hit with
nuclear weapons but life isn’t H or life
is is going to be sustainable afterwards
I’m still betting on a thousand years of
in um inability to live there but
hoshima Nagasaki that was a good point I
have to uh have to concede that
one what year was it Scott when you were
with seamour HH in New York and you were
warning about what would happen if we
use nuclear
weapons oh that was right after Target
Iran so that would have been in
2007 yeah pick your city pick your city
tell me which one you want gone Seattle
La Boston New York Miami pick one
because at least one’s going that sounds
like Joe
pesky pesy or whatever the hell did I
say pesky yeah I pronounced as zinsky
volinsky on our new podcast last couple
of nights ago I don’t know why Pierre P
from the Philippines the Brewing
Philippines China conflict took a huge
turn after the US Army deployed a Typhon
missile system will this deter the
pla just so everybody knows that the
Typhon missile system um
is do you remember the uh intermediate
nuclear forces treaty we talked about
that a little while ago I was one of the
guys that implemented it um in the
United States while thef treaty was
still in force we put on the shore in
Romania and in Poland I think it’s still
being built in Romania but Poland it’s
ready uh the agis ass Shore the Mark 41
system which is basically this giant
sban rad are and then you have these
launch systems on a ship they’re four
they’re four pods launch in a vertical
launch array they put them on the
ground on the ship the vertical launch
um you you can you can either launch um
cruise missiles out of it the tomahawk
cruise missiles or you could launch the
SM two or sm3 Interceptor rocket and we
promised Russians that it’s not able to
be used used we only hooked it up so we
could use the the Interceptor rocket and
the Russians are like but that’s not
true because all you have to do is put
the different pot in and it’s G to fire
no no no we’ve done things we’ll show us
what we can’t show you what we’ve done
but trust us one week after we left the
treaty we took one of those pods and we
fired a tomahawk Cru missile out of it
proving that the Russians were right the
whole time we were cheating the tyon
missile is the
6 and what it is is it’s a missile that
was originally configured for surface to
air uh use
um but because of its range uh can be
turned into a ballistic missile uh with
long intermediate range it’s a surfac to
surface missile so now we’ve taken the
Mark 41 concept but no now we don’t need
the radar because we’re no longer
shooting down missiles we just put it on
a truck you can fly it in on the back of
a C130 pull it off up it goes and now we
can fire intermediate range missiles
either the sm6 Typhon or the the the the
landbased version of the tomahawk um and
we just deployed it to the Philippines
is this a a game
changer no it’s not um because the
Chinese have their own version of these
missiles what it’s done is make the
Philippines a Target the Philipp phes
just basically congratulations
Philippines you’ve just made yourself a
nuclear Target um in Russia or China
when the time comes if there is a
conflict and it goes south um they will
probably they’re now programming their
missiles their nuclear missiles and say
we gota throw a couple at the
Philippines because they were dumb
enough to let the Americans put missiles
on their territory Philippines got to
grow up man you um you’re picking the
wrong horse in this race it’s um not a
smart move
good evening you’re on with our favorite
weapons inspector how are you tonight
how are you tonight yes uh Scott Scott
Jeff good good evening good
evening well just take a nice deep
breath don’t rush right into the
question just let it
settle no um this is John from South
Carolina hi John and my question my
question to Scott is regarding the
recent
statement by uh the NATO commissioner
from Norway regarding all NATO countries
to send their Patriot missile batteries
to um the Ukraine to protect I don’t
know what and I I’d like to know if that
means that we’re going to take the
Patriot batteries out of Washington and
send them over to protect
zilinski that’s a it’s it’s a good
question and it’s a fair point I mean
let’s let’s talk about a come on man
stick with me get in
Focus somebody said it’s eyeballs if I
look at it my eyes did you get the USB
hub we sent you I did but it’s still
doing this thing I think it’s a lighting
issue um all right now I’m in Focus I
think maybe my eyes are out of focus you
have the new camera hooked up or no no
oh okay I mean I’ve got the USB thing
but I don’t have it hooked up yet okay
um Patriot
missiles we’re being told that the
Russians are getting ready to attack
Europe and um if they beat the
ukrainians right now everybody agrees
they’re beating the ukrainians that
they’re just going to keep rolling and
if that’s the case one would imagine
you’d want those Patriot banties or
batteries AR raid around your your
sensitive facilities in Europe
protecting your Capital protecting your
defensive industry and all this stuff
but no Jan Stenberg in His Infinite
Wisdom wants to strip Europe dry of
these things and send them all to
Ukraine they’ve already sent a bunch to
Ukraine They’re All Dead uh which sort
of tells you what’s going to happen to
whatever we send to Ukraine they’re not
going to live very long uh but by the
time the Russians end up chewing those
up which will be sometime this spring or
summer they won’t have a u a long
lifespan that just means that Europe is
further depleted of uh air defense it
claims it needs now the good news for
Europe is Russia isn’t planning on
attacking it so you don’t have to worry
but at some point in time there has to
be a
um sort of a logic check a quality
control check of the logic coming out of
uh out of NATO and it just it doesn’t
make any sense this is just stupidity in
the extreme and the other thing is the
um the expense I mean these things
aren’t cheap they’re a lot of money when
is Europe going to get outraged about
the the amount of taxpayer money is just
being thrown away in
Ukraine you’re not helping ukrainians by
doing this you’re actually killing more
ukrainians you’re extending this war
you’re going to cause Russia to up the
ante so to speak um this is cruel and
inhuman punishment but I think we found
the the
answers Ron likes it when this happens
because then the Nations that send
Ukraine the Patriots to be destroyed
will order new Patriots and Ron is in
the business of making Patriots so they
can make a lot of money so
congratulations Yan stoltenberg you win
the P the Patriot salesman of the Year
award you uh you’ve done a very good
job Roma and mova why aren’t jordanians
stopping the flow of trucks from Jordan
into Israel like is Israelis are with
Aid trucks from Israel into
Gaza good question I don’t know why um I
hope jordanians are watching and
understand that the world is looking at
you and uh wondering you know are you
going to and when we say jordanians of
course we’re not talking about the
Jordanian government because we know
they’re not going to do anything against
Israel we’re talking about the Jordanian
people who uh cheered when Iranian
missiles were hitting Israel um and who
have claimed that they’re on the side of
the Palestinians indeed many of some
would say maybe the majority of
Jordanian citizens are actually
Palestinians so um yeah why aren’t they
stopping it um probably because the
Jordanian government will crack down on
them and there’ll be problem but at some
point in time these are the things that
have to happen if uh if you’re going to
put the kind of pressure that needs to
be put on Israel to uh to stop the
genocide in
Gaza we have a voicemail message from
Pekka in
Finland okay question to the dynamic duo
and no offense Jeff but by du I mean the
Beloved inspector and his sidekick mck
so now that the drooling NATO idiots
here in Finland have made us part of the
Frontline conflict zone of the nuclear
powers on opposite sides of the world
the other one of course being our
neighbor to the east so how far should I
run from the Northern Hemisphere to
avoid the nuclear fallout if these dumb
[ __ ] tivate the next I guess final
world war trying to please their
overlords in
Washington you know I don’t think you
can run far enough
um look you’re you’re you’re I know
there’s you know some tongue and cheek
in your question but it’s a serious
question and I know you know it’s a
serious question Finland has made just
stupid comments about um you know
wanting to allow NATO to deploy nuclear
weapons on Finnish soil so that they’re
closer to Russia all that does is turn
Finland into one giant nuclear Target I
mean didn’t you learn your lesson um
when you joined NATO and the Russians
said okay we’re going to uh build a St
Peters B um uh defense um district and
um we’re going to deploy a new 70,000
strong core there um
and finland’s going wait a minute what
wait a minute you’re not supposed to do
that NATO’s supposed to make us safer
you’re now putting 70,000 dudes right
next to
elsi yeah Welcome to the Real World and
now you’re going to let nuclear weapons
on your soil well that means is the
Russians are going to equip those 70,000
guys with nuclear weap to hit you and
Russian nuclear weapons are better than
anything that’ll be on your soil you
just guaranteed that Finland will become
a smoking ruin now I can’t say a
thousand years though I was GNA say a
thousand years but I’m not allowed to
say that anymore because Helsinki may
just go the way of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki and and be you know
not
you I’m sorry that that question just
got me because
um modern nuclear weapons you know are
of a different design they they have
different contaminants uh the different
uh Isotopes are produced and the
contaminations work which is why I used
the Thousand-Year cycle because um
that’s what’s going to happen it’s not
going to be repeat but he did bring up
the point that if the Iranians simply
copied the gun design that was used in
the um the little boy bomb that it might
not be a thousand years but the bombs
that Russia will use against Finland on
the other hand I’m sorry they’re going
to be a little bit dirtier and you are
going to not be able to live there so
run away uh don’t run to a America
because we’ve become a giant Target
you’re not going to like it here the
Canadians no they’re not good uh
Australia no they made a mistake they
joined ala so where can you go nowhere I
would go to Northern Finland way out in
the middle of nowhere and uh hang out
with some raineer and um play reindeer
games and that might be a good way to
spend the final moments of your
life Michael in New York City many
people such as Alexander mcus think the
Russians won’t go beyond the Neer River
but the Neer runs through keran oblast
with Kiran City on the right bank and
the Russians have annexed Kiran oblast
won’t they take all of Kiran oblast
please
explain yes they will take all of keran
oblas because keran oblas is Russia it’s
Russian territory they’re not going to
leave any inch of Russian territory or
centimeter Russian territory and
Ukrainian hands so at a very minimum
they will be crossing the Nea River to
to take control of the uh the right Bank
um you know and then the question is do
they continue on do they take Mia do
they go on through Odessa you know these
are these are questions that have yet to
be answered um I I
saw some commentary coming out of the
Kremlin that talked about COV playing an
important role in any future uh buffer
zone uh that a buffer zone would be
dictated by the maximum range of the
longest range system that NATO provides
Ed to Ukraine but that implies that
there’s going to be some sort of
negotiated settlement not unconditional
surrender um I right now don’t think
that the Russians are planning on going
too far beyond the Neer River until they
get additional resources but they are
building two combined arms Army and a
Neer River flotilla a Neer River
flotilla that means they plan on taking
control of the Neer River and so um yeah
I
I I think the deeper river factors
heavily in Russia’s future
plans I don’t want to make a big deal
out of it but just out of curiosity did
you and muris ever kiss and makeup after
that Gonzalo L dust up or is
that have you have you been on a show
since then I haven’t been on a show
since then I mean that’s his business
it’s his show if he invites me I’ll be
more happy to go on I you know we have a
difference of opinion I don’t care I
know what I know I know what I believe
and uh I stand by it for all all the
people are out there I see their little
snide comments you know Gonzalo L was an
sbu asset you’ll never get me to change
my mind on that one um you know the man
was arrested released a week later and
allowed to use the computers to commit
the same crimes that he was arrested for
but this time he had an ankle monitor
and he had to report to the sbu now if
you have an ankle monitor reporting to
the sbu while you’re committing crimes
on the computer that was the scene of
the crime that you arrested for you are
a controlled
asset explain it otherwise you can’t I
rest my case sc’s on
fire Mo in Serbia Iranian retaliatory
strike has been executed very
effectively in my opinion the plan for
such strike or strikes is not just a two
weeks job maybe it was just fine-tuned
to meet the objectives what lessons if
any will Western governments and Israel
learn from
this well hopefully the lessoning is
that Iran now possesses um a well
articulated um deterrent policy they’ve
made it very clear um what their red
lines are and they made it very clear U
what the consequences of Crossing those
red lines are um like any Nation uh when
you have potential
adversaries you have operational plans
um I’m fairly certain that Iran has a
wide variety
of uh
options uh that have been planned out uh
when it comes to striking Israel you
know a targeted limited strike a medium
Spectrum strike a full spectrum strike
each one has targets those targets have
been broken down into what you want to
accomplish um so if you want to take out
a Runway uh for so long you need to
create so many craters of such
dispersion of such a depth um how many
missiles will that take where these
missiles going to come from where were
the missiles launch from when the
missiles are transiting from Storage to
the launch site what kind of air defense
will you have up what kind of logistic
support do you need what kind of
Maintenance do you need to keep these
MDS wrestled the whole thing is planned
out it’s called an operational plan they
got one for every aspect of it because
they’re professional soldiers so you
it’s not like the Iranians woke up and
said oh damn it we’re g to hit Israel
what do we do what do we do let’s just
make something up right now they had a
plan they had a plan in place they knew
exactly what they wanted to do that plan
is updated with intelligence um you make
the modifications as required but that’s
that’s it um the Iranians right now have
I believe a uh a number of plans in
place that can be pulled off the shelf
and executed at a moment’s
notice Red Ranger in somal land on
Garland Nixon you said Russia helped
North Korea build up the Hypersonic
missile why would Russia or any other
Nation give its most advanced Tech to
others aren’t they afraid that one day
those weapons will be used against them
or do they have counter measures for any
Tech that they
export well first of all the notion that
Russia helped North Korea is purely
speculative on my part all I was saying
is that um you know having witnessed a
number of um missile um
development
programs um and look at the testing
involved in that um it’s
almost unheard of that you deploy an
operational system
after one static test and two flight
tests and say we’re ready we’re ready to
rock we’re good
um because normally you you know
especially if you’re if you’re just
getting into the game how do you know I
mean you’ve done the theory of it you’ve
you know you you’ve worked up your
formulas but how do you know that that
missile stage is going to burn
consistently you have to test it and
um it just never happens that it works
perfectly the first time first of all if
it worked perfectly the first time how
do you know that wasn’t just a glitch
you got to repeat the experiment it
doesn’t work again do it again does it
work again consistency uh but they only
burned it once
that tells me that they already had a
design that was was functional formulas
are functional and they just were doing
that just to make sure that it worked
the way it was supposed to work but they
didn’t need to keep doing um you know
proof of concept test because the
concept has already been proven the same
thing when they launched the the first
stage U you know the the missile that
they have the huad 16b I believe it’s
called um is basically they have a
missile called thead 18 that’s a
three-stage intercontinental ballistic
they took the first two stages of that
and put a Hypersonic maneuvering Warhead
on top of it and fired that off back in
January um this was a ballistic missile
not a Hypersonic missile ballistic
missile just so everybody understands
the concept I don’t know if I’ve
explained this before but a ballistic
missile launches up and then gravity
takes over it gets up there in the orbit
and then an amazing thing happens
gravity starts pulling it back down to
earth and it goes into a parabolic
motion and as it comes down it generates
it it accelerates and it goes at
Hypersonic speeds and everybody’s going
that’s a that’s a Hypersonic missile
Scott look it’s going Hypersonic speed
no you idiot it’s a ballistic missile
Hypersonic missiles don’t fly in
ballistic trajectories that’s why we
call them Hypersonic missiles to
differentiate between a ballistic
missile flying at hypersonic speeds
Hypersonic missile goes up and then on
its own propulsion does a straight line
it Maneuvers but it’s not using gravity
to generate its speed so they tested a
ballistic missile but they said that was
a booster uh phase so to see if the
booster could get it up in the space and
then it released they also tested the
maneuvering Warhead on its way down it
separated and they see could see if it
maneuvered it did but that wasn’t a test
of a Hypersonic system then in March
they burned the second stage and this is
the Hypersonic stage this is the one
that has that new design the the highp
speeed high impulse Burning uh solid
fuel to give it that burst of power so
it does so it can fight against gravity
because remember it’s it’s like when you
fire a bullet Ryan you know this one go
to the rifle range and the further you
get away from the target you got to
click up why because your bullet’s going
to drop it’s called gravity and so you
fire Bull it goes and it drops and if
you have clicked it up enough it drops
right into the bullseye but you had to
fire above the bullseye to get it to do
that little parabolic motion um the
Hypersonic one says screw that fire the
bullet and it’s like you put a little
primer of juice or fuel on it you fire
that bullet and it goes off it lights
and it just keeps going screw gravity
it’s going to fight its way through
gravity and fly straight that’s what
gives the hyper so they tested that
stage one time and then
just this month they took the
non-parabolic motion with high speed
damn it somebody smarter than me and has
better words thank you that’s what I was
trying to say um you take the first
stage of the ha song 18 you put on this
second stage this new second stage and
then you take that maneuvering Warhead
and you slap it on top and now they call
it the hang 16b this is a Hypersonic
missile they fired it booster took it up
separated second stage did its thing it
flew to a certain distance it popped off
the maneuvering Warhead at Hypersonic
speeds and the maneuvering Warhead did
what it had to do and Hit the Target and
they called it a success and now they’re
getting ready to deploy them um you
don’t do
that first time around so who helped
them who gave them this uh this this
stuff um because somebody
did I’m just this is my assessment the
North Koreans can get their panties in a
bunch if they want to and say nope we
did it all ourselves and I’ll say
congratulations but I don’t believe you
because nobody does it the first time no
matter how good you are and I know you
guys are pretty good somebody help them
and the question is who and the people
that have that technology are the
Russians and the Chinese now could the
Chinese have helped them yes but the
Chinese and North Koreans don’t have the
greatest of relations um I mean they’re
they’re friends and everything but
there’s some Str there because China
understands that if there’s a war
involving North Korea and South Korea
that China is going to be directly
involved and they are in the business of
not or they were in the business of not
provoking South Korea Japan the United
States because if North Korea develops
these very capable missile systems then
the United States is wanted going to
want to deploy The Fad missile defense
system in South Korea that has
sufficient range together with radar
to impact China’s ballistic missile
capabilities the Chinese are saying I
know you’re saying that that deployment
in South Korea is for the north but it
impacts our strategic posture as well
we’re not happy so they want to
deconflict and deescalate um believes in
Hypersonic missile teleportation that
they can bypass a literal field of chaff
from the latest
Patriots it amazes me that Scott
believes in Hypersonic missile
teleportation that they can bypass a
literal field of
chaff from the latest
Patriots okay um amazes me that I
believe in that too I mean it’s stunning
that I would believe in that did I ever
use the word teleportation do I even
know what teleportation mean I don’t
think so so we’ll move on um but the the
point is they did it the Russians on the
other hand made I think the initial uh
strategic decision that because remember
Russia’s feeling the way weight of the
West earlier than China’s China’s
conflict with the West is still
theoretical Taiwan is still a
theoretical fight the fight between
Russia and the collective West
is in Ukraine and it’s real it’s as real
as it gets and so Russia is looking at
that saying what can we do to make life
more miserable for the Americans plus
what do we do to secure our our
Frontiers it’s my guess and again the
Russians could tell me no and I would
never ask them this question because
it’s far too sensitive and they would
never answer it because it’s none of my
damn business but I believe that Russia
made a strategic decision that um
certain Technologies would be made made
available to North Korea so they could
rapidly field uh this missile because R
it’s in Russia’s interest for North
Korea to change the Strategic Balance
power in the region right now you have a
situation where the United States um has
impose sort of a nuclear deterrence
model on North Korea who built their own
nuclear deterrence in response and now
you have a situation where you have this
you know this this so-called nuclear
balance but it’s a very dangerous thing
because what’s the line between
deterrence policy and um you know
military power policy uh if you have
nuclear weapons invariably the new the
the deterrence model is going to get
it’s it can get fuzzy as you come in and
you say we’re going to have to use them
at some point in time Russia doesn’t
want nuclear weapons to be used and so
what Russia I believe encouraged was
North Korea to develop a conventional
deterrent capability by giving them
Hypersonic missile capabilities that’ll
gave North Korea the ability either to
preempt or retaliate in a non-nuclear
fashion um that’s what I think happened
here um I could be wrong pure
speculation I admit it pure speculation
uh but it’s the only thing that makes
sense because nobody tests and Fields a
Hypersonic missile the first time around
it just doesn’t happen now maybe the
North Koreans are that
good I’m not saying it’s impossible I’m
just saying that history shows that it’s
never happened
before here’s a voicemail message from
Salim
anoir hello gain sir this is Salim anoir
from a stumble uh quick question I I uh
heard what you had to say about the
white helmets I had a similar suspicion
there was a they call an e they called
him an expat living in a stumble who uh
was found dead on the pavement the
guardian said it was a horrible tragedy
a
humanitarian had uh died under
mysterious
circumstances I suspected he was
probably an agent and that uh a team had
finished him off but given your
expertise and
contacts uh can you shed any more light
on the death of this ex-royal Marine who
I suspect was probably sonda Dam my6
anyway thank you very much and uh take
care
um I mean I don’t have any direct
knowledge uh I will say this that I have
a a very good
friend who is a marine former Royal
Marine Brit um and he knew this guy and
thought highly of them um and my
friend’s a good judge of character so
you know it’s it’s possible for you to
be involved in something um for instance
somebody can be involved in something
that I don’t agree with that doesn’t
make you a bad person it just means that
I don’t agree with you on your goals and
objectives um this this
person whose name I can’t remember um
somebody can and need sign my
bar okay
um this this guy helped create
a uh a rescue service um received money
to do this but I whether it was his
intention or whether or not he was used
is is a question I can’t answer that um
but you know this these white
helmets started getting this is where I
think he he actually knew what he was
doing why I actually was part of a urban
search and rescue team a medium
capability team that means uh that if a
building
collapses the team that I was on would
come in and rescue people inside that
collaps structure and you can have light
teams you can have medium teams and you
can have heavy teams each one has a
different level of training um to
certify your capability because they’re
not going to let you anywhere near a
collapse scene if you don’t have the
training to do that and These Guys these
white helmets
were running around doing medium and
heavy
level rescues and filming it um but then
when you looked at their training the
only training they got was for light
rescue which tells you that the heavy
rescue they were doing was all for a
show it wasn’t real they don’t know how
to shore they haven’t been trained on it
they don’t know what Shing is they don’t
know how to use the tools safely they
haven’t been trained on it they’re out
there jacking away with hammers and
doing stuff
if you don’t know what you’re doing
you’re going to bring the whole damn
thing down and kill everybody so it’s
all an act it’s theater that was going
on and this guy was part of the theater
he’s out there you know talking about
their Brave work he’s training them he’s
getting them up he’s getting the
equipment to come
in but what was really happening is they
were they were actors in The Stage
designed to you know create the
theatrics of rescuing innocent civilians
from the horrific bombing of the Assad
regime
the double tap that’s where it came in
you know they would drop the barrel bomb
the barrel bomb was the other one the
barrel bomb and then we’d run in to
rescue and then they’ double tap us with
another Barrel bomb and he was spreading
this crap and it’s all lies every single
thing is lies um I mean did some of
these white helmets die hell yeah um
you’re in a war zone uh did they ever
save anybody maybe maybe they did but
they’re not a medium team they’re not a
heavy team they’re not training to that
the vast majority of what did was
theatrics I’ll give you an example of
theatrics they
um they created a hasmat response team
not just any Hazmat response because
again the reason why I could talk about
this comfortably is that’s what I used
to do I was a you know a um oh god what
the hell it’s been so long now
uh specialist it was a
Hazmat technician and Hazmat specialist
um and on the H on the team I was a
Hazmat specialist um that means that I’m
qualified to respond to a scene and I’ve
been to the school live agent training
um Cobra the Sarah nerve agent and the
VX nerve agent and the mustard and you
did all the training in a live agent
environment so that uh you you would
have the confidence that you ever had to
go into a real world situation you you
said well I’ve been there I know my
protective GE works and all this kind of
stuff these boys are out there
collecting against sarin nerve agent and
uh they’re running around wearing
training suits I’m going that’s presides
zero protection there one guy’s in full
you know mop gear you know level a suit
and the guy next to him is wearing
sandals and he’s collecting samples
handed off the guy with no gloves
putting in a box bagging it up and I’m
going it’s theatrics 100% theatrics and
yet this is the guy this Brit who ended
up taking the dive off the Bild in
Istanbul he’s the guy training all this
now what happened with him my
understanding is um
he was dipping his hands into the
finances um money was going into his
pocket that shouldn’t have gone into his
pocket and he got caught um he had
received a large amount of money from I
think a Dutch um source and when they
were doing the audit the audit found
inconsistencies uh this was a big shame
and um he ended up going off the ledge
of a building now some people think he
committed suicide um some people think
that he was pushed um what do I think I
don’t know I would say that given his
military background uh given the fact
that he at one time was a man of honor
and principle um and that he had gone
through a lot of effort to create the
facade of a honorable principal
principal man as he helped build up the
white helmets to have all of that his
entire life be thrown away by stupidity
um I’m thinking he he he might have done
the deed himself but we don’t know I
don’t know the Turks don’t know I mean
maybe they do maybe they did an
investigation have released it
but this this is a uh it’s a tragic
situation it’s a human trag like I said
I have a very good friend who knew this
guy and and he he thought highly of him
so at one time this guy was a man of
honor and maybe he was always a man of
Honor everybody’s human everybody’s
freaking human and you know he got
involved in something clearly there were
people who uh who were who were driving
the scenario I don’t think he invented
the white helmets I don’t think he
invented you know this mass production
he might have started something that was
that he thought was the right thing to
do and then it got taken over by others
who started bullied him or manipulated
him or he thought he was doing the right
thing and the next thing you know he’s
in over his head and uh tragedy strikes
um but let’s take him out of it and
let’s just focus on the white helmets
they are the scum of the earth these are
not good people they’re propagandists
who exploit uh the suffering of others
to uh to create a false uh image of the
Assad regime that is used then to
justify uh the provision of billions of
dollars to
alqaeda uh to Isis uh to Islamic
fundamentalists salafists uh who
continue their murderous Rampage and
it’s continuing today in idlib Province
where the white helmets still reside
these aren’t good people um they
hopefully will be eradicated at some
point in
time let’s do a live teleportation
now hey you’re on with our favorite
weapons inspector how are you
hey Jeff Scott how are you hey I didn’t
really have a question I just wanted to
add something about the youran Israel
matter as someone who’s Iranian and
spend like up until my 20th up my 20
years old and it was there I just wanted
to say that um I don’t think Yan’s
response was
really as as strong as it you should
have
been um that’s what I don’t really want
to say because um this guy’s been
killing Iranians were like God like
forever now you have this opportunity
and um you send a bunch of drones I just
I think it was weak and I thought that
would be interesting to say but I don’t
know I think it wasn’t good enough all
right that’s it okay thanks for the
call so I you know the one of the
problems with not feeling good is that
my head is very stuffy and um I don’t
hear very well
and I was having trouble I think he was
saying that he had trouble with the
Israeli response to Iran because it
wasn’t strong enough is that the gist of
what he was saying yeah I think so I
it’s hard to hear it’s not just because
of your C he didn’t ask any question
anyway no but it’s a it’s a it’s a fair
point I think that there there’s an
implied question there um you know was
this there’s some speculation um that
this wasn’t the real Israeli um
retaliation that this was
some sort of um ruse to get the Iranians
to drop their guard and then at some
point in the future Israel come in and
Bam Bam Bam hit him hit him hard um I
don’t think that’s the case but I mean
we don’t
know we also what we don’t know is what
really happened I mean the Iranians you
know they they’re making uh noise about
these three drones I mean I’ve been
checking I don’t claim to be the world’s
best uh the the the best you know use of
Twitter and or X and all this in the
world but I can’t find any uh film
coming out of Iran that shows the the
remnants of these three
drones um you know so I don’t know if
they were
drones now I’m hearing that they’re
finding U missile Parts in in Iraq and I
look at the size of that
and if that is indeed remnants of an
Israeli missile that’s uh that’s
probably you know delivered by by an Air
Platform did the Israelis um Fly
aircraft into Iraq that would have been
detected by the Iranians the Iranians
aren’t squawking um there’s a lot about
what happened on Saturday it still
doesn’t make too much sense uh but at
this point in time I don’t
care because I’m thinking it was one
giant um bit of theatrics to make this
damn thing go away um I think everybody
was involved in just making this go away
um and someday Washington Post is going
to publish the story about how William
Burns bravely went to the Middle East
and met with the Iranians and cooked up
this scheme and then went and sent his
you know somebody else to Tel Aviv where
they sat down with Netanyahu and they
all worked out the secret deal how it
was going to happen the theatrics who’s
going to say what and just make it go
away because I think everybody realized
that Israel had gone too far with the
consulate attack and Iran’s response was
a very tailored but heavy response even
though they didn’t destroy a whole bunch
of stuff they proved their point but the
the the the the visual of 300 plus
Scott Ritter: Iran demonstrated power vs. Israel, IDF truly lost war
