Secure Freedom Minute

The time has come to make what may be the most important choice in our nation’s history: Will we persist in the trajectory Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have put us on for most of the past fifteen years – the radical, Marxist and fundamental transformation of America?

Or will we seize the chance to restore this constitutional Republic, its founding values and institutions and the freedoms they were designed to guarantee?

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are committed to preserving and strengthening this country.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are, by contrast, Marxists with longstanding ties to the Chinese Communist Party that seeks to take down the United States.

If you have not already voted, I urge you to do so on Tuesday – and entreat you to join me in voting for the reelection of President Donald J. Trump.

Issues of war and peace often determine a nation’s future. Consequently, when conflict looms, it generally features prominently in their elections.

Yet, that is not the case in the one now coming to a close – even though the Chinese Communist Party: has declared a “People’s War” against us; has massively built up its military; is mobilizing reservists; is actively threatening our allies in the Pacific; and has illegally inserted tens of thousands of its forces in this country.

All are very real indicators of a possibly imminent shooting war that are going largely unremarked by candidates, the press and, therefore, voters.

Consequently, our Committee on the Present Danger: China is conducting today at 1 p.m. a non-partisan “voters’ guide” webinar on the dangers we face and the choices before us that you have a need to know. Check it out at PresentDangerChina.org.

On Tuesday, for the second time in as many weeks, Donald Trump tweeted about his commitment to end the persecution of Christians. By doing so, he is bringing desperately needed attention to what’s brutally happening to more than 365 million people worldwide simply because they follow Jesus Christ.

I work with an amazing Save the Persecuted Christians coalition committed to doing just that by holding accountable – and penalizing – those who perpetrate such crimes against humanity. 

In fact, as president, Mr. Trump showed in microcosm the effectiveness of this approach when he sanctioned Turkey to achieve the release of Andrew Brunson, a pastor it was then persecuting. It must next be done at scale.

God bless President Trump for standing with Christians! Do so now by boycotting Azerbaijan’s upcoming climate change conference over its past and impending genocides of Armenian Christians.

We’re told Donald Trump is like Adolph Hitler. That’s not true, of course. Ironically, many inclined to believe otherwise are about to honor and embolden someone who actually has engaged, like Hitler, in genocide – and is threatening to do so again.

Last year, Azerbaijan president Ilham Aliyev attacked and forcibly expelled 120,000 Christians from an enclave called Artsakh. His regime now threatens to invade the nation to which they fled, Armenia.  

Incredibly, as things stand now, with the UN’s blessing, many thousands of environmentalists, their corporate sponsors, governments and others are about to attend the “COP29” meeting in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku. By so doing, they will enrich and embolden Aliyev by “greenwashing” his past crimes against humanity and greenlighting his next act of genocide.

Our new coalition warns attendees they’ll be complicit in genocide that President Trump properly condemned last week.

Today, thank God, America’s most formidable political prisoner, Stephen K. Bannon, is scheduled to be let out of federal prison. Not since Nelson Mandela was released from jail in South Africa thirty-four years ago has the freeing of a wrongly incarcerated hero been more anticipated – and, quite likely, more consequential.

The latter would apply because my friend Steve’s return to the fray as a leader of the Make America Great Again movement will bring fresh energy and strategic vision to bear at a decisive moment.

To the great credit of the myriad War Room guest hosts and contributors during his absence, the home fires have been kept burning throughout Steve’s four-month incarceration – the result of a politically weaponized and unconstitutional prosecution. They must, and will, do so with necessarily heightened intensity and effect now that Steve Bannon is back in the fight.

In the closing days of this presidential campaign, you’d never know that the Chinese Communist Party is at war with us.

In fact, as nearly two-hundred webinars conducted by our Committee on the Present Danger: China have documented, the Chinese Communists’ warfare has caused us incalculable harm over many years. And they are now poised to add a shooting war into the mix.

A Soviet Communist named Leon Trotsky famously declared, “You may not be interested in war. But war is interested in you.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Harris-Biden administration’s cultural Marxist focus on “diversity, equity and inclusion” has left the U.S. military demoralized and undermanned, clearly ill-prepared for conflict with China.

American voters urgently need the truth about this perilous situation – and clarity about what the presidential candidates think, and are going to do, about it.

Yesterday, President Donald Trump powerfully differentiated himself from Vice President Kamala Harris on an issue of profound importance to millions of voters.

He noted in a Truth Social post that she did “NOTHING as 120,000 Armenian Christians were horrifically persecuted and forcibly displaced” from an enclave in Azerbaijan known as Artsakh.

He went on to warn that “Christians around the world will not be safe if…Harris is President” and that he will protect persecuted Christians, of whom there are estimated to be over 365 million worldwide.

Incredibly, the UN decided to reward Azerbaijan for its past persecution of Christians and to ignore its promise to attack Armenia next by holding a climate change conference in Baku next month.

Kamala Harris should start demonstrating solidarity with persecuted Christians by announcing the U.S. government will not “greenwash” Azeri genocide and will boycott Baku.

What is the “enemy within”? The term refers to elements inside America – some of foreign origin, some domestic – who seek our destruction and are, to varying degrees, in a position to contribute to it. This threat has been neglected for far too long, at our extreme peril.

Harris-Biden administration policies have enormously exacerbated the danger, allowing vast numbers of Chinese soldiers, jihadists, Venezuelan and other gang members to come here from overseas. Then, there are the home-grown Marxists and Sharia-supremacists doing business as Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the Muslim Brotherhood.

There’s reason to believe the administration has actually put such enemies’ sympathizers in senior positions. One of them is suspected of devastatingly leaking to Iran highly classified information about Israel’s preparations to retaliate against its toxic regime.

We must as a nation acknowledge, identify and root out the enemies within now.
