The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The electorate’s limited ability to place a partial block on the federal government’s wild taxation and mad, depraved, and murder-breeding social policies was found in the task of electing the “lesser of two evils” as president. To a great many of Trump’s supporters, as well as those who voted for him as the lesser of two evils, the old gambit of...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – This is a long game. Iran felt the squeeze. Its economy falters, and its bargaining posture changes. Europe looks less able to shoulder security burdens. Democracies must see this for what it is. National security is not only about one country or one deal. It is about the industrial base, the energy supply, and the rules that govern digital life...

The Iran fiasco also obscures the world’s other ongoing problems that threaten more war. The seemingly endless Ukraine war is one, and with the...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – When American crude moves through a canal to refuel Asia, the balance shifts. When the United Arab Emirates leaves OPEC, that cartel loses its grip. When Russia sells trapped barrels on open markets, prices climb, and sanctions yield strange beneficiaries. Control of routes decides who can project strength. The Strait of Hormuz matters...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The next conflict will not begin with tanks rolling across borders — it will begin in orbit, through AI systems, drone swarms, cyber attacks, electromagnetic warfare, and attacks against America’s critical infrastructure and supply chains. We break down the eight most critical military technology acquisition programs now shaping America’s...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – America’s ruling class clings to outdated assumptions as drones, regional wars, energy corridors, and rival alliances transform global power.
