My God - I've been following the GoodFellows for years now, and still, every time I listen to a new episode it feels like an increasingly rare fresh breath of sanity. Thank you gentlemen, and please don't stop doing what you do. We need you now more than ever.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى said, وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا أَشْيَاعَكُمْ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ And indeed, We have destroyed your likes; then is there anyone that will remember (or receive admonition)? [Al-Qamar 54:51] غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ The Romans have been defeated. [Ar-Rum 30:2] فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْآخِرِينَ And We made them a precedent (for those coming after them), and an example to later generations. [Az-Zukhruf 43:56] فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَقَالُوا مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا قُوَّةً ۖ أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً ۖ وَكَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا يَجْحَدُونَ They were arrogant on the earth without right, and they said: "Who is mightier than us in strength?" See they not that Allah who created them was mightier in strength than them? And they used to deny Our Ayat (Signs). [Fussilat 41:15] وَلَن تُغْنِيَ عَنكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ كَثُرَتْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ And your forces will be of no avail to you, however numerous they be; and verily, Allah is with the believers. [Al-Anfaal 8:19] كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allah's Leave?" And Allah is with As-Sabirun (the patient). [Al-Baqarah 2:249] وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ And that Allah may test the believers and destroy the disbelievers. [Ãal-'Imraan 3:141] قُل لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَتُغْلَبُونَ وَتُحْشَرُونَ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ ۚ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ Say to those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated and you will be gathered together to Jahannam (Hell-Fire), and worst indeed is that place to rest." [Ãal-'Imraan 3:13] وَعْدَ اللَّهِ ۖ لَا يُخْلِفُ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (It is) a Promise of Allah, and Allah fails not in His Promise, but most of mankind know not. يَعْلَمُونَ ظَاهِرًا مِّنَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ عَنِ الْآخِرَةِ هُمْ غَافِلُونَ They know only the outside appearance of the life of the world, and they are of the Hereafter, heedless. [Ar-Rum 30:6-7]

Having followed The Good Fellows for a while, you can see just how concerned they are in this frank talk on illiberal ideology across western society. I’m committed to teaching my kids on history, basic economics and gratitude for the stability supported by the US across the world. We in west have been busy living the ‘good life’ I fear we’ll all realise to soon the real price for our values and freedoms. Thx u from 🇦🇺 for sharing these talks 🙏🏻

Hi, I'm here to thank you all for talking about Iranian people and about supporting us in overthrowing this criminal regime. We've been through so many lies from this regime that we've almost become experts on what's going on around the world in therms of "politics". IRI is definitely behind all the disruption in the region and consequently in the whole world. It's in everyone's interest to support us in ending this bloodthirsty regime's terrorist mindset. It's clear as a day to most Iranians now that Israel is not the evil country our regime tried to sell to us and they have our full support. People quickly shut down any official or celebrity who speaks for people of Iran when it comes to their obsession with Israel. Our prince in exile, Reza Shah Pahlavi II, has been saying this for years. IRI isn't able to change. The only solution is regime change. He is the best alternative and the only person Iranians trust and want. I am going to watch the full video now. Thankfully Iran will be free soon and you're going to learn more about iranians' view of the world. #iraniansstandwithisrael #HamastieswithIRGC

Been waiting to hear from Niall Ferguson on this situation

Thank you "mr.niall Ferguson" for your support and honesty, we have been fighting this demon for years, and for years we have warned all of you Europeans and Americans that all the crimes in the region are because of the Islamic Republic, now we see the extent of this terror to Europe and America as well. arrive We have lived with this demon for more than 45 years, but we are not from them, they occupied our country, but we are Iranians. And the real Iran always stands. whith love from Iran ♥️ #iranianstandwhithIsrael

All the Goodfellows comments on US academia are spot on! Gen McMaster of course had the best soundbite w/ the Hamas 'pronoun' comment! Well done!

@gandydancer9710

7 ай бұрын

McMasters was a clown, as usual. I only dipped into this video, but ran across a couple instances. There was (a) his insistence that Egypt would have to help because they would otherwise be overrun with Gaza refugees. Um, no, unlike the US with its southern border Egypt has had had no problem with just saying "No". And (b) his advocacy of continuing to state impossible goals for Ukraine because if we don't ask for the moon we won't maximize what we will get. No, insisting on asking for Crimea with no bow to reality merely means that the war will go on until Ukraine is utterly defeated. And in a university setting it's his obligation to speak the truth, not strike supposedly useful poses. This is the guy who on a previous Goodfellows advocated using the USN to escort "humanitarian" aid into Ukraine via the (very restricted -- think hypersonic missiles and fish in a barrel) Black Sea and sink the Russian Black Sea fleet if they interfered. Never mind that the Ukrainian problem was getting to EXPORT grain not a shortage of food (McM seemed utterly impervious to this well known fact) I well remember VDH rolling his eyes at such idiocy.

Lasting peace in the Middle East can only be realized with Shah Reza Pahlavi II. There is no other sustainable solution other than the return of the Pahlavi dynasty to Iran.

Outstanding, a must watch video to understand current events.

So, so glad we have such intelligent, informed men like these to advise the powers that be (such as they are).

Bravo! That was absolutely delightful, Thank You!

Thank you very much first of for supporting, " shy retiring people", and , second but not least for brilliant conversation update.

As Iranian people, we stand by the Israeli people and oppose any form of terrorism. Prince Reza Pahlavi is our leader, recognize him to end terrorism in the Middle East.

The human resources department thanks you.

Why American campuses and faculty lounges have become hotbeds of ant-Israeli sentiment and activism is an interesting topic for in-depth study. In my time as a History graduate at a leading American university in the 1990s and early 2000s, I would say at least half (and possibly more) of my professors, both in the History and other departments, were Jews of one stripe or another (one or two were even Israelis). Academia is easily one of the sectors of American life in which Jews are most prominent (and statistically overrepresented). By contrast, during five years in the u.S. military I encountered only a tiny handful of Jews but very strong institutional pro-Israel sentiment.

I've read many books on the region, I've even visited the region and sat and talked to those involved... so you then sit yourself back and then you think you understand what it is all about... its the land issue and then maybe its religion based... and just when you think you understand what's going on you then have to awaken your Western mind to the fact it just might be Hate for Hate sake... the idea of a vendetta mind set is alive and well. In my lifetime every president from Harry Truman to present has attempted to broker a peace deal, the Mideast is like the Korean peninsula outside players use the continuous conflict for their diplomatic purpose... this a dangerous game to play in the Nuclear age. Excellent show on a difficult topic!

Excellent! Thank you!

It is so good to hear a general talking about the future WWIII, good job from Hoover/

Totally agree with HRMcM. Use the strategy again we used with so much success in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Thank you for offering a counter-woke narrative.

The university where I teach -- a leading institution in Brazil -- is submitted to the same outrageous kind of activism to which Professor Fergunson has referred. Here the effects of this betrayal of academic values are much more destructive insofar our intellectual tradition is considerably weaker than the American one.

Great talk!

Thoroughly enjoyed

I agree with HR- the most important thing for Israel (besides destroying, annihilating, exterminating Hamas- whatever you want to call killing/capturing every single Hamas member in ) is to evacuate as many Palestinians as possible, in order to win the PEACE. I am literally praying to God that this confrontation can end this conflict permanently, in a way that the Palestinians are not victimized.

Wonderful conversation. Thank you for hosting and sharing this!

I'm glad to hear the panel optimistic about Universities. I hope we can purge the cancel culture perpetrators. Then we might train a generation of leaders who aren't afraid to win wars. We need to fight Hamas and Putin in the classrooms and boardrooms.

To help Iranians overthrow the regime, the first step would be for the western governments to fully understand that this regime is not reformable and thus negotiations are a waste of time. Additionally, you should realize that the vast majority of Iranians want to bring back the Pahlavi monarchy. The best way you could help us is to support our exiled crown prince, Reza Pahlavi; since he reflects our voice.

Interesting analysis of the short term. The question is what about the long term. Do we have to go through this every 10 years. The Jewish/Muslim conflict is a clash of cultures. The solution is to find the Jews a new homeland or a change in culture of both cultures. Not an easy or even a doable task

Good cast. Once again John Cochrane steals the show.
