Episode 468, The Andrew Parker Show – Stand for Good or Stand Aside: The Case for Confronting Iran Now

In this powerful and unapologetic episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew tackles one of the most consequential geopolitical questions of our time: Where do you stand?

As tensions escalate with Iran, Andrew breaks down the broader implications of the conflict—not just for the United States and Israel, but for global stability, energy markets, and the future of freedom itself. He explores the decades-long impact of the Iranian regime, the stakes of inaction, and why this moment represents a turning point in the fight between liberty and tyranny.

From the role of Western leadership and media narratives to the long-term consequences of confronting—or ignoring—radical regimes, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about what is at stake.

Is this a necessary stand against ongoing threats, or a path the world should avoid? Andrew makes the case that the answer will define the future for generations.

Listen in and decide for yourself.

Episode 468, The Andrew Parker Show - Stand for Good or Stand Aside: The Case for Confronting Iran Now

Andrew Parker (00:01)
Welcome to another episode of the Andrew Parker show. talk politics, Israel and the law each episode and

Today I want to talk about.

Who you are for? Are you with us? Or are you a Guinness?

as there has been a war for the values of civilization for many, years, for decades, as radical Islamists and the Islamic religion has been hijacked by radical Islamists who have carried out

murders, assassinations, heinous acts.

against most often civilians and civilian targets intentionally killing thousands, many thousands and indeed thousands of Americans.

Much of this lays at the hands of the radical Islamic regime in Iran.

and president upon president, decade upon decade, as the years passed.

Presidents did little or nothing.

to stem the tide of horrors that happen to families across the world, certainly in Israel, certainly to the Jewish people, but also to many, many, many others, including in Western Europe and certainly, as I mentioned already, in the United States, including Marines and members of our military.

And so Donald Trump has said enough is enough and has gone to war with Iran.

And frankly, from my perspective, at least the only outcome that

should be the focus here is.

Removal of the mullahs and allowing the Iranian people to take back their country as it was

treasonously, seditiously taken from them. Albeit they may not have liked the Shah of Iran at all. They didn't. And he ⁓ engaged in conduct that was despotic, certainly at times.

But what came upon the Republic of Iran, the Islamic Republic it became, was far, worse.

And again, thousands have died as a result of the revolution, as they call it, in Iran.

So.

Do you side with the values of freedom and liberty of the United States, the values capsulated, memorialized in the Constitution, in the Declaration of Independence?

that the United States declared.

or do you support the nazi like regime the

Yeah, it's not Nazi-like in terms of the religious fanaticism of the regime in Iran, but it is in terms of carrying out heinous acts and atrocities against innocents.

but the religious zealotry makes it only worse.

You remember the Japanese.

And that was not religious zealotry, but it was zealotry nonetheless, and it was ferocious. No one believed there would ever be a surrender, and it was horrific what it took in order to obtain a surrender after millions died. But millions and millions more would have died.

So the war that is taking place today.

which would release the citizens of Iran from the grips of this tyrannical, religious, radical Islamist ideology.

The war that would.

free the region from the constant instability created intentionally by the Mullahs.

A war that would free the entire hemisphere, the entire additional anarchy created by Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, all in this axis of evil. Taking out Iran.

Because it would also free the world from being held hostage whenever Iran desired to do it with its oil and others through the strait of hermeneuse and it would be the worst.

scenario to allow them to continue to control.

They should never have, and they should not now have.

Control over the straights. Control...

over oil reserves that can impact the world.

With the evil that they propagate, propagate, they should not.

be allowed to maintain such control. And that is a focus. In addition, of course, no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, weapons that can threaten their neighbors and others around them.

Well, it seems that many support Iran in continuing to do what they've been doing for decades, continuing to threaten and to hold the world hostage, continuing to create instability and anarchy.

continuing to interfere with peace and peace deals.

and continuing to kill thousands.

Not more now. If they were allowed to to exist into the future and they should not be. So who is lining up and where are they lining up? Well, the Dems in the United States are clearly lining up behind Iran. They are supporting Iran. No, they're not supporting it. They're just saying that Trump did this that no.

they are effectively supporting it during a war effort we need

Cohesion.

We need a uniform message, not one that shows complete discord. That gives strength to the enemy.

Same as it relates to Western Europe, who is totally lined up behind Iran.

They're all afraid, don't want to have, or sometimes you have to go to...

And in this case, it's a just war.

Sometimes you have to stand up to evil and destroy it in order to make way for real peace and that could happen here

but not with the democratic party in Western Europe.

tying the United States arm behind their back.

This is all that they have done and they have used the media.

to amplify.

And that has been consistent to the point of treasonous.

reporting false information, reporting slanted information.

with a narrative that they are pushing.

Whether it be because Donald Trump is the one who initiated this war, or whether it be because they are against the idea of this war.

They are creating the narrative, a false narrative that the United States and Israel are somehow losing this war. It is a war. wasn't as if ⁓ there were not going to be missiles fired by Iran. It's not surprising or Hezbollah. It's being dealt with and it's being dealt with quite efficiently and effectively.

And in probably in shorter order than expected

the missiles will die off.

They haven't yet, but there is no choice here. It is we win, they lose, or it's a disaster.

There needs to be change and overhaul.

There needs to be a reckoning for 1979.

a reckoning for that overthrow of the government, Iran. The death and destruction that has happened, it happened then and has happened since.

and it can bring peace to the region and save millions of lives.

I dare say yes, millions of lives. That's what this action can do.

It appears though that the Democratic Party that continues to assail the decision.

to save millions of lives going into the future, to make sure there's no nuclear weapons, to make sure there's no constant threat of ballistic missiles, to make sure that oil and gas is not held over the world's head by these radical Islamists.

It appears that the Dems are just about weakening the United States.

both in terms of the economy and the economic effect of doing nothing and also the human effect of doing nothing.

Again, if we do nothing, the decades will continue of evil with no abatement.

Look at what has happened, just the change that has occurred with the dominoes starting to fall Venezuela, soon Cuba. Think about the freedom of the Cuban people. Think about the freedom of the Iranian people.

and Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran. What is the impact of that going to be on free markets around the world? For oil and gas, free markets around the world, not held hostage at gunpoint.

And in order to get that, well, we may have to for a while pay higher prices. ⁓ no, can't do that. Nope. Don't touch my.

That's crazy. You allow evil to metastasize in the world doing nothing about it

And when you could rid the world of it by simply tightening your belt a bit, by having gas prices go up a bit, and frankly, not even higher at this point to what they were during Joe Biden, and there was no war with Iran.

So when the dams are in power, the gas prices are higher in any event.

But even if they go about that amount.

There will be a short-term hit, but for the benefit of what this war is all about, it is not even a comparison worth making. It is so obvious.

So let's go forth.

Let's report out in the media, honest.

Accurate not slanted information about all of the efficient effective victories that are occurring during this war don't tear down the war effort during the war

It is harmful, in fact it is dangerous for our troops and it emboldens the enemy to do more, to fight harder and to potentially add to the casualties and fatalities of Americans.

So it's not just that it is practically wrong, it is morally wrong as well for the media to report the way they are.

Democratic Party get behind this effort.

Get behind good versus evil. Pick good.

And for Western Europe.

It is interesting. read a little quip the other day.

that said

the Arab nations support

the US-Israel war on Iran, citing Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, others.

But these other Arab nations oppose the US-Israel war and it listed France, Germany, Great Britain.

Australia, Canada.

It's kind of funny, but... ⁓

The Muslim countries named second, and I guess they didn't say Arab, I guess they said Muslim.

⁓ Is that the reason that they are taking the position that they are because of the huge percentage of their population that over the last couple of decades

have been and are Muslim.

many of you whom are radicalized islamists who support the iranian regime

Could be.

All we can do, is be responsible for our own opinions and judgments, and I say to you, stand for good. Don't stand on the side of evil.

and let's go arm in arm, we win, they lose.

and we carry freedom, liberty and values to the world. The Iranian people will decide.

but they will do so with freedom.
