Secure Freedom Minute episodes

  • With Caroline Glick & Col. Grant Newsham

    Caroline Glick, Host of The Caroline Glick Show

    • Caroline Glick and I discussed what Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey is doing to exploit what he and his surrogates have accomplished in the seizure of Syria, whether Jordan is next, and what it means for Israel and the rest of the region for that matter. We also discussed the prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza and the folly of aiding the Palestinian Authority with funds or with funds, to say nothing of arms. We also discussed the plight of Gal Luft, a mutual friend who is being very badly mistreated for having revealed Joe Biden and his family's crimes in connection with a Chinese intelligence front doing business as an oil company.
    • Col. Grant Newsham, Contributor, Gatestone Institute

      • Colonel Grant Newsham and I had a far-reaching conversation, wide-ranging conversation, let me say, about several aspects of the national security posture of the United States, including the dangers of an open border, the apparent recruitment of Chinese nationals into our military, some of them at least, seemingly having come here illegally for possibly very maligned purposes.
      • We also talked about drones and other unexplained things that are happening at the moment that should be of great concern to our military certainly, but also to our citizens. And they're not being told the truth, eroding confidence in our government in the process.
      • We also discussed the developments in South Korea that put very much in play the prospect of an untimely end to one of our most important strategic partnerships with the South Korean government and perhaps a huge advance for the Chinese Communist Party and its North Korean proxies seeking not only to end that alliance but also to dominate the peninsula and for that matter specific of the world.

      • Paging Trump - Oppose Erdogan Now
        The prime-mover behind the toppling of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad was another, de facto dictator: Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He is poised to become its principal beneficiary, as well.

        During the Cold War, Turkey was ruled by governments that, while Muslim, aligned their country with the West, securing NATO’s southern flank against Soviet aggression. Unfortunately, that alliance has no mechanism for expelling a nation now ruled by a Sharia-supremacist like Erdogan, allied with today’s existential threat to freedom, Communist China and set on its own aggressive agenda aimed at establishing a neo- Ottoman empire and destroying Israel.

        Paging President-elect Donald Trump. The ability you demonstrated in your first term to wrangle Recep Erdogan is needed now, before he creates facts on the ground that will be a festering sore for your next one, and for the entire Middle East.

      • With Major General Joe Arbuckle & Peter Mcilvenna

        Major General Joe Arbuckle, Major General, U.S.Army (Ret.)

        • Major General Joe Arbuckle and I spoke about a new initiative by Flag Officers for America supporting the nomination of Pete Hegseth to be the next Secretary of Defense and why all of us should support that nomination to save our military from the wrecking operation to which it's been subjected by cultural Marxists and other enemies, foreign and domestic.
        • Peter Mcilvenna, Heart of Oak Podcast

          • I visited with Peter Mcilvenna about the state of freedom in the United Kingdom and the rather draconian steps being taken by the government of Prime Minister Sturmer to restrict, particularly, freedom of speech in ways seemingly very similar to the punishment of January 6th defendants in this country. We also talked about elections coming in France and Germany, as well as the prospects that the European Union itself may be a victim of rising popular nationalism and populist nationalism. 
          • We discussed something called the Corporate Transparency Act, an instrument of repression in the United States that, fortunately, has now been stayed temporarily. Will we be spared its penalties permanently?

          • With Treacherous Transition
            This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

            Two days after Donald Trump’s landslide 2024 electoral victory, outgoing President Joe Biden announced, “I direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.” This appeared to track with Biden’s oft- asserted commitment to “democracy.”

            Unfortunately, what has happened since suggests that the Biden team has actually been using this lengthy transition period to lock in agendas, policies and priorities it has pursued over the past four years – but that were rejected by a majority of voters in this fall’s elections.

            We are hosting a very timely webinar at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time today entitled, “Treacherous Transition.” It will examine how what amount to serial efforts by the outgoing administration and its allies to subvert the incoming one are advancing the interests of, among others, the Chinese Communist Party.

          • With Col. John Mills, Bill Walton & Dr. David Wurmser

            Col. John Mills, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy

            • Colonel John Mills and I visited about this peculiar story about drones operating all over the East Coast of the United States at the moment. The competing stories that we're getting about whether it's a function of hostile powers action or our own government looking for other dangerous examples of enemies and nuclear weapons perhaps in our own country. 
            • We also talked about the penetration of our government agencies by foreign powers, notably the Federal Aviation Administration, for seven years by an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps veteran and a Chinese national who sent 50,000 rounds of US MO and small arms to North Korea.
            • Bill Walton, Host of the Bill Walton Show

              • Bill Walton and I discussed an important problem that is getting altogether too little attention: attacks on the sovereignty of the United States by those who favor world government, including the Biden-Harris administration, and a very exciting initiative of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers to push back against it through resolutions we all hope will be adopted across the country in every state in the Union, asserting states' rights and national sovereignty over world government.
              • Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs
              •  
                I spoke with Dr. David Wurmser about reports that Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to adopt a ceasefire, including, perhaps, provisions that are absolutely at odds with his long-stated positions. We don't know if this is true, but we explore the implications should it be. We also discussed what's happening elsewhere in the region, in Syria notably, and what it means for not only the people of Syria, including the Druze, the Assidis, and the Kurds, but also the people of Israel and the people of Jordan, and perhaps Saudi Arabia as well.

              • Reject Biden's World Government Legacy

                This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

                Among the most insidious examples of the damage done by the Biden-Harris wrecking operation against America is its stealthy enabling of “world government” at the expense of our national sovereignty, constitutional Republic and personal freedoms.

                Notably, the administration has agreed to two treaties conferring unprecedented powers on unaccountable international bureaucrats at the World Health Organization and the United Nations. These accords – which Team Biden has not submitted to the Senate for its approval – would allow their leaders to declare emergencies and dictate what we must do in response.

                Last week, the National Association of Christian Lawmakers adopted a resolution rejecting such affronts to our sovereignty and the powers reserved for the states. Our Sovereignty Coalition encouraged this initiative and urges every state to reject the subversive treaties promoted by the WHO, the UN, the World Economic Forum and the Biden administration.

              • Biden’s Strategy for Our Submission to Sharia

                The Biden administration just unveiled a new strategy to counter “Islamophobia.” It goes beyond pandering to religious and ethnic minorities to legitimate and encourage the efforts of Sharia-supremacists to compel the rest of us to submit to their domination. 

                Adherence to Sharia - authoritative Islam’s totalitarian operating code - differentiates Muslims willing to live peacefully with non-Muslims from those who believe their god, Allah, commands them brutally to rule all others. 

                It’s not a phobia - a clinical term for unfounded fear - to be terrified by Sharia-adherent Muslims. After all, they are obliged to engage in jihad, namely holy war usually involving terrifying violence, to induce non-believers’ submission. 

                And it’s also not “anti-Muslim hate” to resist the supremacy of Sharia. Aligning the U.S. government with the Muslim Brotherhood, Iranian mullahs and their ilk invites our destruction and the end of religious freedom that Sharia explicitly proscribes. 

                This is Frank Gaffney.

              • With Rabbi Pesach Wolick

                Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Co-Host Of The Shoulder to Shoulder Podcast

                • Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and I took stock of the ripple effects that we're seeing, rising from the swift overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, what it's likely to mean for the rising power and the growing menace of Turkey, which despite being a NATO ally is actually no friend, certainly not of Israel, and I would argue not of the United States or for that matter, the rest of NATO. We also talked about what is in prospect for Iran and Jordan, as well as the wider Middle East, as those ripples gather momentum and have possibly very unpredictable consequences.

                • Christopher Wray’s Toxic Legacy at the FBI
                  Christopher Wray’s Toxic Legacy at the FBI
                   
                  FBI Director Christopher Wray will resign at the end of the Biden presidency. That’s the very good news. 
                   

                  The very bad news is that Wray’s years of politically charged malfeasance have destroyed his agency’s reputation, demoralized its agents and primarily weaponized it against patriotic Americans, not our enemies. 

                  Notably, on Wray’s watch, the FBI’s largest criminal investigation has relentlessly pursued January 6th demonstrators - most of whom evidently were entrapped through an operation orchestrated by FBI personnel and assets. 

                  Meanwhile, many thousands of Chinese soldiers, countless foreign jihadists and assorted American Communists and Muslim Brothers are here, ready for attacks Wray has repeatedly warned are coming, but seemingly done little to prevent. 

                  Kash Patel is the man to clean out the FBI’s Aegean stables. But he’ll need the Senate’s strong support — as well as that of President Trump, the House and the American people.

                • With Justin Bernier & Bill Walton

                  Justin Bernier, Chief Executive Officer at National Security Index

                  • I spoke with Justin Bernier of the National Security Index about the underwriting of our enemy, namely the Chinese Communist Party, that has been taking place unbeknownst to most Americans with their money, thanks to captured elites on Wall Street and the necessity for ending that practice, especially with respect to the most serious, "bad actors" among Chinese corporations and how investing in Mr. Bernier's National Security Index, exchange-traded funds can reduce investors material and reputational risk in communist China.
                  • Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show

                    • Bill Walton and I discussed the state of the transition of the Trump administration to office, the nominations, including that of my friend, Pete Hegseth, and others, how they are faring in the United States Senate, and what are the prospects for a more efficient US government coming out of not least the work of these cabinet officers, but also that of the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
