Wasn't that extraordinary? What we're gonna do is we're gonna make a. We have a recording of that. We are editing out the commercials and in the brakes. So we'll pull it all together, tighten it up, and we're gonna put it out on our social media and elsewhere so the word can get out. Because the bottom line is the President had absolutely no choice. That's the truth. Now we'll see if platforms out there, news platforms, cable news, news networks, are interested in the facts. I dare say most of them will not be. But that doesn't mean you can't share this information. I would also tell you that my video podcast has been very news breaking, very, very important. It's called Liberty's Voice. We did our seventh episode today. It's all free. Marco pays for it all. You can go to Rumble and view it There, you can go to YouTube and view it there at Rumble. You can follow us at YouTube. You can subscribe, but you can view it at either location. Very important program today, and I hope you'll check it out over at Liberty's Voice. I want to thank Rumble, which has done a fantastic job. We'll thank YouTube too, but rumble has done a fantastic job. And I want to thank my executive producer, David, my producer Josh Westwood One, that is very supportive of this, of this project. And we're just getting started. So it's. It's really just a newborn baby. Other people have been doing this for years and years and years. So it takes a little time to build followers and listeners, but I want to encourage you folks to be among them at YouTube and Rumble. If you don't know how to use YouTube or Rumble, ask your family member or just go into Google. It'll show you how to do it. But the program is called Liberty's Voice for a reason. I hope you'll take advantage of it because again, it is intended to mesh with the radio program and the TV show to build up all the audiences on all the platforms, you know, all the different technologies to really build a juggernaut for the midterm election so we can save this nation from what would be a horrible fate if the Democrats won the House and or the Senate. This is what we're going to do. We Thomas Paines, we Paul Revere's. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what your background is. You don't have to be a big shot. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be any of those things. Just be interested. So please join us in this new endeavor. It's very important. Liberty's Voice at Rumble. You can follow us there. YouTube, subscribe. When I say subscribe, it's something I gotta pay. You don't have to pay a thing. And you can just view us right there. We also have some of the best, I think, input in our social sites because I'm working it hard these days because there's so much at stake. So on X, AKA Twitter, we're on Facebook. Where else are we? Rich? I don't even know. TikTok, Instagram, Truth Social. Of course. We're on all of them. All of them. So we've really expanded our reach. We think it's very, very important. I do, and there's a lot I want to get to tonight. But before I do, it's Purim. It's the Jewish Holiday of Purim. And if you're Persian, you had a role in this. I want to read something to you written by a gentleman who is a Moroccan, a journalist, a Muslim, and he appears to be an all around good guy. Adil Fauzi, writing in the Times of Israel, when the Mossad launched a Farsi language telegram channel on Saturday morning, this Saturday morning, hours into operation Roaring lion, or what we call the hell do we call it again? Fury, epic fury, and addressed Iranians as our brothers and sisters, quote unquote, promising that quote, together we will return Iran to its glorious days. The predictable chorus erupted across Arab capitals and Western campuses alike. Who are the Jews to appoint themselves liberators of Iran? By what right does Israel of all nations presume to speak of freeing a people it is never governed in a land, it is never occupied. Now, the objection sounds reasonable until you open a history book, at which point it collapses entirely. Because the relationship between Jews and Persians is not a geopolitical convenience manufactured in 2026. If you listen to the Jew haters, that's what they say. It is one of the oldest, deepest, most consequential alliances in the recorded history of civilization. And what Israel did on Saturday was not colonial arrogance, but the repayment of a debt that is 25 centuries old. In 586 BCE, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II destroyed Solomon's Temple, the first temple, razed Jerusalem and marched the Jewish people into exile. Babylonian captivity, one of the defining catastrophes of Jewish history. For 70 years, the Jewish nation existed in bondage, its holiest site in ruins, its people scattered across a foreign empire with no army, no sovereignty, no realistic hope of return. And then in 539 BCE, Cyrus the Great, a Persian, not a Jew, conquered Babylon and issued the decree that altered the trajectory of Jewish civilization permanently. The edict of Cyrus permitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple and reconstitute their national life in the land from which they had been torn. He didn't merely allow the return, he financed it, sending back the sacred vessels that Nebuchadnezzar had plundered and providing resources for reconstruction. The Hebrew Bible records the decree in terms so exalted that Cyrus remains to this day the only non Jew ever referred to in Jewish scripture as Mashaya. God's anointed. The book of Isaiah, written before Cyrus was born, calls him by name and declares him chosen by God to liberate his people. No other gentile figure in 3,000 years of Jewish literature occupies this position. The Persian king who freed the Jews is embedded in Jewish consciousness not as a political ally, but a divine instrument. And the gratitude is not metaphorical. It is theological, liturgical and civilizational. This was not a singular episode. The Persian Jewish relationship extended across centuries. The Achaemenic dynasty, Darius I continued Cyrus policies and contributed to the completion of the Second Temple in 515 BCE. The Book of Esther, read aloud in every synagogue on Purim, records how Esther and Mordecai, operating within the Persian court of King Kassasuerus, foiled Haman's plot to exterminate every Jew in the empire. Do you know where esther is buried, Mr. Medusa? In Iran, the festival of Purim is at its core a celebration of Persian Jewish solidarity. A Jewish queen trusted by a Persian king intervening within the structures of Persian power to save her people from annihilation. That this strike fell on Purim the very day Jews read the Megillah, recounting how the last man who plotted Jewish destruction from Persian soil was himself destroyed, carried a symmetry so precise that for many in the Jewish world it felt less like coincidence and more like the closing of a circle that history itself had drawn. And this is the point that those who mock Israel's rhetoric of liberation either do not know or choose to ignore. Persians are not Arabs. The Persian relationship with the Jewish people has never been defined by the eliminationist hostility that characterized much of the Arab world's posture towards Jewish sovereignty. Iranians did not invade Israel in 1948. Iranians did not block the Straits of Tiran. Iranians did not chant for the destruction of the Jewish Strait in 1967. Under the Shah, Iran was one of the first Muslim majority nations to recognize Israel, maintained full diplomatic relations, cooperated on intelligence and infrastructure, and hosted a thriving Jewish community that had existing continuously in persia soil for 27 centuries. One of the oldest Jewish diasporic communities in the world. The rupture came in 1979. And it was not the Iranian people who chose enmity toward the Jews. It was the theocratic regime that hijacked the revolution, imposed Shia Islamist ideology onto an ancient pluralistic civilization and adopted the Arab world's anti Zionist vocabulary as a tool of domestic and regional control. The Death to Israel chants were manufactured by a clerical establishment that needed an external enemy to justify internal repression. Not by the heirs of Cyrus, who'd been intermarrying with Jews, trading with Jews and protecting Jews since before the Parthian was built. This is why the Mossad's message resonated as deeply as it did among the Iranian diaspora, not because Iranians are naive about Israeli motives, but but because they recognize in it something that the cynics could not see, an acknowledgement that the Iranian people are not their regime, that a civilization that produced Cyrus, Hafez, Ferdowsi, Ruma, and Aficena cannot be reduced to the theocratic junta that censored their poetry, murdered their daughters for showing their hair, and turned their ancient nation into a pariah state synonymous with enriched uranium and proxy warfare. When Netanyahu declared that the operation would create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands, he was not speaking the language of colonial imposition. He was speaking the language of a debt, a debt that stretches back to a clay cylinder in the British Museum inscribed with the words of a Persian king who, 25 centuries ago looked at a captive Jewish nation and said, go home, rebuild and live the Jews remember. And on Saturday, in the skies over Tehran, they began to repay. I thought you should know. I'll be right back.
