Podcasts about Supreme leader

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHTHE DEAD SPEAK! The opening crawl reveals that a mysterious broadcast has been heard across the galaxy in the voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. BUT HOW?! Leia dispatches agents across the galaxy to gather information on this, while Kylo Ren, now Supreme Leader of the First Order, searches for Palpatine in an effort to eliminate all potential threats to his power.Kylo Ren finds this triangle thing which leads him to a hidden planet where he finds Palpatine, still kicken.  Palpatine unveils a fleet of Star Destroyers and offers it to Kylo if he finds and kills Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under Leia. During Rey's training, She has a chat with Kylo Ren through their Force bond—brief flashes of the past—and accidentally crushes BB-8 during training. I was so mad at her for hurting sweet BB-8.Poe announces to the Resistance that Palpatine is alive and plans to unleash his fleet. To stop him, they need the Sith Finder which Rey believes to be on a planet called Pasanna.The. crew lands during a sick dance party. Rey meets a local who gives her a necklace—through their Force bond, Kylo take it from her and determines her location. Rey is soon approached by Leia's contact—Lando Calrissian. He explains that he and Luke once searched for a Sith hunter named Ochi, who may have held the key to finding the Wayfinder. They found his ship, but no trace of him.Stormtroopers arrive, and the heroes flee into the desert, falling into quicksand that leads to an underground cave. There, they find a Sith dagger inscribed with a clue. Unfortunately, C-3PO's programming prevents him from translating Sith text.Rey senses Kylo approaching and confronts him while the others prepare for takeoff. She brings down Kylo's ship but is shocked to see Chewie captured. As she and Kylo both use the Force to stop a transport from leaving, Rey loses control and unleashes Force lightning—destroying the ship and, seemingly, killing Chewie.Don't worry - Chewie is fine. He was on a different ship and they're going to hold him captive.Poe takes the gang to see an old friend, Zorii Bliss. She takes them to a tiny little fella who can bypass 3PO's programming so that 3P0 will finally translate the Sith text, but will also erase his memory. Suddenly, the First Order arrives, having tracked the group. Rey senses that Chewie is alive on their Star Destroyer—they realize he must have been on a different transport. The crew sneaks onto the ship. While Finn and Poe are captured, Rey goes to  retrieves the dagger, has a force battle with Kylo, and has a vision of the emporer killing her parents, who were hiding her to protect her. Kylo tells her it's because she's a Palpatine. The captives are about to be executed—but General Hux intervenes, revealing himself as the spy. He helps them escape, explaining he doesn't care who wins, as long as Kylo loses. Rey refuses to join Kylo Ren in destroying Palpatine and the crew escapes with Chewie and the Falcon. Hux is immediately killed for being a spy. The team heads to where the Death Star wreckage lies. They meet Jannah, a former stormtrooper who, like Finn, escaped the First Order. Rey finds the Wayfinder—but experiences a dark vision of herself as a Sith Vampire combo package. Kylo shows up and they begin to fight. Suddenly, Kylo gets a vision of his mom, Leia, taking her last breath. He drops his lightsaber which Rey catches and uses to stab him. But then when she feels like Leia is dead, she heals Kylo so he can mourn without pain:? idk man. Kylo has a vision of his father who encourages him to return to the light. Kylo throws his lightsaber into the water. Poe is named General and doubts his ability to lead. Lando comes outta nowhere to give him a pep talk. Intending to exile herself like Luke, Rey tries to destroy her lightsaber, but Luke's Force ghost appears. He tells her that Leia knew all along who she was and still believed in her. He gives her Leia's saber and helps her retrieve the Wayfinder from Kylo's ship. Rey pilots Luke's old ship. With a signal from Luke's ship coming through, the Resistance prepares for battle. Poe and Finn lead the attack, on horse back cuz duh. Rey shows up to confronts Palpatine. Dude is pumped to see his granddaughter. He says he doesn't want to kill her, rather he wants her to kill him so his spirit will enter her and they can lead together. Kylo shows up and they fight together, sharing Leia's saber through the Force. Papetine enjoys the show and then uses his lightning fingers on both of them which is like draining their power. The Resistance attacks Palpatine's fleet, but they're outmatched. Just as hope fades, Lando arrives with a massive fleet from across the galaxy.As Rey lies on the ground, she hears the voices of past Jedi who encourage her to get up! She confronts Palpatine again, deflecting his lightning with both Luke and Leia's sabers. As he declares “I am all the Sith,” Rey responds, “And I... am all the Jedi,” and destroys him.She's on the verge of death from the blast, but Kylo climbs out of the pit he was throw in and revives her with his own life force. They kiss BIG ONESSSS! But then he dies. Womp Womp.The Resistance destroys the Sith fleet.And the heroes reunite and celebrate the win. The movie ends with Rey and BB8 take the Falcon to Tatooine. She buries the Skywalker lightsabers there and shows that i guess she has her own yellow one now. When a local asks who she is, she says Rey. Follow up Q for you - Rey who? She ponders the answer until she sees the ghost of Luke and Leia smiling at her and she says Rey Skywalker as she and BB9 watch the twin suns.

Iran's Nuclear Capabilities: We cover Iran's Supreme Leader's stance on obtaining nuclear weapons, emphasizing the threat posed by Iran's policy of "death to America." President Trump's position on the Iran nuclear deal is highlighted, with Trump criticizing the deal made during Obama's administration and asserting that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. We also underscore the U.S. administration's commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, even if military action is necessary. MS-13 Gang: The controversy surrounding Kilmar Obrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member. It includes statements from DEA administrator Terry Cole, who confirms Garcia's gang affiliation based on his tattoos. We criticize the media and Democrats for allegedly misrepresenting Garcia's identity and downplaying his gang connections. Impact of Tariffs: The podcast critiques Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer's speech against Trump's tariffs, suggesting it aligns with Chinese propaganda. It argues that Trump's tariffs have benefited U.S. manufacturers, citing examples like Whirlpool and New Corp. Tariffs are helping to rebuild the U.S. economy and restore national security.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson podcast fills in for Mark. Do you believe that Iran should be able to have nuclear weapons? Iran's Supreme Leader said, "Death to America is not a slogan; it's a policy." When Iran tells you they want to wipe America off the face of the Earth - we should believe them. Mark Levin weighed in stating: “No nukes for Iran! These are genocidal maniacs! It's a terrorist regime! More important that we protect our country from their nuclear bombs than we protect their nuclear sites from our bombs! There are no second chances.” President Trump has stated many times that he'll make sure Iran doesn't get any nukes. Meanwhile, the United States and Ukraine signed the long-awaited mineral deal. This is a massive win for Trump, the American taxpayer and Ukraine. Later, the Democrat party is dead, it's now a party controlled by Marxists and Socialists. In other countries run by Socialists, legal systems often turn into kangaroo courts. We're witnessing this now with activist judges, showing how many Marxists have worked their way into the system. This might be the biggest threat to democracy. When activist judges act outside the scope of the law, it demonstrates how dangerous this can be to our freedoms. These judges believe they should be able to override what the people voted for.

Gaza suffers as children and aid workers killed in Israeli bombardment "Tragedy deepens in Gaza as at least 322 children have been killed and 609 wounded in the past 10 days, UNICEF reports, after Israel resumed attacks. ""Children have again been plunged into deadly violence,"" warns UNICEF's Catherine Russell. Separately, Gaza's media office confirms 1,513 humanitarian workers killed in Israel's relentless bombardment. Meanwhile, The Palestinian presidency condemns forced evacuations in Rafah, calling them a violation of international law. Israel and Hamas remain at odds over key conditions, including prisoner releases and military withdrawal." French court bans Marine Le Pen from office over EU funds scandal "French political circles are in turmoil. Marine Le Pen's electoral ambitions face a stunning blow as a court imposes a five-year ban after she was found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. International figures, including US President Donald Trump and his billionaire supporter Elon Musk, decry the ruling as politically motivated. Le Pen vows to appeal, insisting she's ""eliminated,"" not defeated. Her National Rally party now weighs its options, with 29-year-old protege and the party leader Jordan Bardella potentially stepping into the spotlight." Myanmar declares national mourning as earthquake deaths surpass 2,000 "Myanmar declared a week of national mourning on Monday following a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake that claimed over 2,000 lives. The ruling junta announced flags would fly at half-mast until April 6 in honour of the victims. Rescue efforts have slowed in Mandalay, the worst-hit city, as fears of aftershocks persist. Thousands are still living on the streets, and with communication networks disrupted, the true scale of the disaster remains uncertain. At least 3,900 people are injured, and hundreds are still missing." Khamenei warns Trump that Iran will retaliate firmly against aggression "Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, responded sharply to US President Donald Trump's threat of ""bombing,"" warning that any external aggression would prompt a ""firm retaliatory blow."" Addressing a congregation in Tehran, Khamenei emphasised Iran's readiness for any confrontation. Meanwhile, Iran rejected direct talks with the US but remains open to indirect negotiations. Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned Trump's remarks as a “shocking affront to international peace.”" France fines Apple over its app tracking transparency practices "French antitrust authorities have slapped Apple with a $162 million fine over its App Tracking Transparency or ATT feature. The watchdog argued that the implementation of ATT was excessive and harmed third-party publishers. The system, which debuted in 2021, requires users to opt-in before tracking across apps, with critics accusing Apple of using it to promote its own advertising. Despite the fine, Apple maintained the feature gives users greater control over privacy and has strong support globally. Investigations are ongoing in several European countries."

Iran's Supreme Leader warns of a forceful response if the US or its allies bomb his country. That follows a threat made by US President Donald Trump if there's no deal on Tehran's nuclear programme. So, how dangerous is this stand-off? And can a solution be found?

While the stage is being set for mass murder in Syria as Alawites are seen on video being marched on their hands and knees to be tortured and killed, Trump has acknowledged that he has sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader regarding a nuclear deal. President Trump has said that he supports obliterating Iran and has committed to air strikes alongside Israel, the true owner of the United States government. Israel continues to devastate Gaza despite their fake "ceasefire." They're targeting Palestinian farmers and they're moving into Lebanon at rapid speeds. It's so obvious where this is heading. They want a new temple, they want war with Iran, one of Russia and China's top allies and eventually they want enough chaos worldwide to bring in restrictive emergency orders in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Australia and most of the EU.

The new administration has been routinely breaking the law, including on Friday when it announced it was cutting funding for universities doing medical research, specifically in violation of legislation passed by Congress last year. And over the weekend, Trump, Musk, and Vance signaled a willingness to ignore court orders—a federal judge on Monday declared that the White House was doing just that in response to his order lifting a freeze on grant spending. Meanwhile, Trump designated himself the Supreme Leader over the Kennedy Center, and also childishly canned the national archivist because she discovered he was hoarding classified documents. Plus, at a time when we could use some decent role models, Jalen Hurts showed what it's like to win without being petty and consumed by grievance.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the US - Iran relationship.

Author Matt Scott discusses his political thriller series, Surviving the Lion's Den. All three books in this trilogy—Surviving the Lion's Den, The Iranian Deception, and The Ayatollah Takedown—are available now. The series opens with a race against time. Can the main characters make it safely out of Iran in the midst of a political coup to overthrow Iran's Supreme Leader—a coup orchestrated by the U.S. government? Inspired by Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, Matt set about to write a series that would explore what it looks like to be inside Iran during a regime change. The books feature CIA operatives, Iranian insiders, international intrigue, geopolitical conflicts, and plenty of fast-paced tension.

Sinwar is dead, Khamenei is dying and America is divisive! This leadership vacuum is creating fertile ground for terroriststo commit chaos. In today's podcast, Carole Lieberman, M.D., your Terrorist Therapist®, looks at the vacuum created by each of these leaders and what impact it is having on their people. Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of Hamas' Oct 7 massacre,is dead, killed in his luxuriously appointed bunker by Israel Defense Forces. You will hear what he wrote in his final will and instructions for dealing with Israeli hostages. His widow, Abu Samar, was left with a $32,000 Hermes Birkin bag, justwhat every well-dressed terrorist needs.Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, is reportedly seriously ill and there is a secret battle over his succession. So far, his 2nd son, is winning. This comes at a critical time of the war, where Israel's latest retaliatory attack weakened Iran's defenses. As he's facing death, it's very tempting for Khamenei to please Allah by destroying Israel as his legacy. America is suffering unparalleled divisiveness, as this election has become fierce, and post-election unrest is forecast. The battle between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is particularly intense as they fight for the hearts and minds of Arab and Muslim Americans. Whoever wins will impact the Middle East and the encroachment of terrorists into the U.S.

Former National Security Advisor to both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg says Israel's tough military response with its enemies “could start to establish some type of long term peace.” Kellogg comments he does not think a two state solution is going to happen in the near future, but reminds listeners it took the United States “11 years to reintegrate the south into the north after our Civil War, and it took us about 11 years to reintegrate both Japan and Germany into the League of Nations after World War Two. So that can be done. So I think there's an opportunity here, as long as we let the Israelis do their job. And what I mean by that is this is when, when, President Biden makes the comment, ‘well, we need to have a proportionate response to the Israelis.' No what you want to have and just what President Trump said, you want to have a disproportionate response. It's what we did with Soleimani with Iran. And what I mean by that, the reason I made a comment, is maybe it is time you either go after the Supreme Leader Khamenei, or you go after his nuclear facilities, and [the Israelis] can do it, be it in Isfahan, or be it Natanz, or be it Fordow. They can actually go hit those sites, take them out, reset the conditions in the Middle East. And maybe, just maybe, now you have a chance with those personalities changing, You have a chance for peace.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran's Supreme Leader told a crowd of thousands that Iran's allies must ‘fasten the seatbelt of resistance from Iran to Afghanistan'. Israel has continued to intensify its strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Also on the programme: we speak to the widow of the man who was killed during July's assassination attempt on Donald Trump; and Brazil is hit by its worst wildfires in two decades.(Picture: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaking during the Friday prayer ceremony in Tehran, Iran, 04 October 2024 Credit: IRANIAN SUPREME LEADER OFFICE/HANDOUT/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock)

Ambassador John Bolton breaks down current conflict in the Middle East as Israelis brace for a promised retaliatory response from the Iran in the aftermath of the Israel's shocking killing of Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran earlier this month. Bolton says, “Iran fears Netanyahu and the Israelis a lot more than they fear Biden and the United States today, and that should tell us all something. The killing of the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is an insult to Iran. The Israelis were able to get to this fella in Tehran, Iran's capital, in a secure compound with a bomb they had planted two months before. And that means they can get into pretty much anywhere they want in Iran, and nobody, up to and including the Supreme Leader, is safe. So this kind of insult, this kind of injury that Israel has imposed, undercuts Iran's credibility, undercuts the government's credibility inside Iran, it undercuts its credibility with its terrorist proxies that it's helped create around the Middle East, and that's why the pressure on Iran to really do something significant, is so high. The problem for Iran is they fear, correctly I think, that this time Joe Biden is not going to pressure Netanyahu into a small response if Iran really strikes Israel hard this time, Israel will go after real significant targets, up to and including Iran's nuclear weapons program. So Iran's got a real problem. If it doesn't strike Israel hard, it will look like a failed terror state, and if it does, it risks a really substantial Israeli response.” Additional interviews with Director of the Heritage Foundation's Allison Center for National Security Robert Greenway addresses threat of Iran-backed Hezbollah at US southern border and Former Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates on why the Heritage Foundation has created a ‘Project 2025' for every administration since Reagan.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
