Summary

Today, I am joined by a legend. Colonel Douglas MacGregor is a decorated combat veteran known the world over for his leadership at the Battle of 73 Easting, America’s largest tank battle since WWII, his in-depth book on military history and strategy, and of course his riveting appearances on a myriad of TV and online programs. He has been a stalwart in recent years in holding the America Last foreign policy establishment’s feet to the fire and is always on the cutting edge of the current military situation around the world.
Macgregor has made headlines over the past several weeks for his controversial comments about Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. He has frequently appeared on Fox News programs, including Tucker Carlson's show, to discuss Russia's invasion.
Highlights:
  • "We’ve succeeded now, in not only killing large numbers of Ukrainians in this pointless war, that really never had to happen. We didn’t have to drag Ukraine into NATO. We didn’t have to put US and allied forces into Ukraine.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “Everything that we’re dealing with now is desperation or disintegration. Desperation because the Ukrainian position is really unrecoverable, and disintegration because that’s what’s happening inside Ukraine.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “If you look at the way things have been handled, I would say that Putin has been remarkably restrain. Almost anybody else over there would have been infuriated by the way in which we treated Russians. We treat them with the most contempt. We’ve ignored any of their proposals. This can’t go on.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “If you’re serious about your intellectual property, if you’re serious about the security of your country, instead of making war overseas, control the border. Go after the criminals inside our country. Shut it down.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor
  • “We want to resurrect America.” - Colonel Douglas MacGregor

Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization,

0:11.5

its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values, and it's just the beginning.

0:18.9

I'm Dr. Steve Turley. I believe the liberal globalist world is at its brink and a new conservative age is rising.

0:26.7

0:48.9

Hey gang, it's me, Dr. Steve, and today we have with us a legend.

0:54.5

I'm joined by someone I know needs no introduction to any of you in this audience.

1:00.5

Any time I discuss the situation Ukraine, I'm always name dropping him because he's provided simply the best, most consistent, and holistic analysis of the Ukrainian conflict from day one.

1:17.5

You've of course seen him as a regular guest back on the old Tucker Carlson days, and he's now like Tucker on Twitter.

1:24.5

Colonel Douglas McGregor, sir, it is an honor and a privilege to have you on the show.

1:29.5

Thanks for inviting me.

1:31.5

That's wonderful to have you. So just yesterday, the telegraph published this headline here,

1:39.5

Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat.

1:45.5

I'm almost wondering if it's more of an admission than a headline.

1:49.5

The piece argues that a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive, the inability of Ukrainian troops to stop Russian territorial gains,

1:59.5

and the seeming impotence of NATO is just ultimately leading to an emboldened and stronger Russia and by implications as well China.

2:10.5

Now, you've been arguing this for a year and a half.

2:13.5

So first, big picture, what's your assessment of where we are right now on the battlefield, and secondly, why in your opinion has it taken the legacy media or at least

2:27.5

semblance of them so long that come to terms with what's really happening here?

2:33.5

Well, let's answer the second question first.

2:35.5

We need to give credit to the telegraph because of the British papers is probably the one that is closer to the truth than most.

2:45.5

In most cases, the British newspapers just print utter nonsense.
