The National Security Hour

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Where communism gained power, it brought censorship, surveillance, poverty, exile, prisons, food lines, political purges, and a privileged ruling class. Where American liberty has endured, it has produced innovation, opportunity, constitutional rights, medical breakthroughs, religious freedom, and the greatest engine of...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – The briefing to be held this week is urging a critical and rapid response to the escalating crisis. In addition to the humanitarian emergency, the Commission will discuss the potential National Security concerns based upon the neighboring countries and terrorist organizations such as Somalia, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Given the disastrous potential of this Supreme Court decision, Americans would not have been much worse off if George Soros and his maniacal son, rather than John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, had been the members of the Supreme Court whose votes gave the three anti-American, anti-Constitution, and Democrat...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Sun Tzu's Art of War, 5th century BC, said a supreme excellence in a commander is to get your enemy to surrender without a fight. You make them think you're more powerful and you're everywhere, and you make them think they're weaker than they are, and you sow the doubt and confusion. And now it's called fifth column warfare...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – This powerful Independence Week special traces the incredible price paid by our Founding Fathers, the soldiers of Valley Forge, the heroes of Gettysburg, the Marines at Belleau Wood, the warriors of Pearl Harbor, Normandy, Iwo Jima, and every generation that answered our nation's call...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – The Strait of Hormuz is the artery through which much of the world's energy and countless industrial commodities flow. Allowing Iran to regulate traffic, collect transit fees, or dictate access would fundamentally alter the global trading system and signal a dramatic decline in American naval supremacy. That is why the present ceasefire remains so...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – As conflict with Iran draws attention, Joel Scausen warns that globalist influence and China pose a greater long-term threat to America. The discussion traces China’s rise, U.S. policy failures, military vulnerabilities, and the need for citizens to prepare for shortages, instability, and potential confrontation on American soil...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Brandon Weichert - Washington keeps gambling on force it cannot sustain. Iran knows this. China knows this. Moscow knows it too. The lesson of the last weeks is not that American power is supreme. It is that American power is increasingly theatrical. The Republican establishment promised restraint, renewal, and strength. It has delivered none of it...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Will Iran honor its commitments? Will inspectors gain access? Will Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis remain active? And how will every development be used as political ammunition during one of the most consequential election seasons in modern American history? Fred explains why Americans should reject fear, ignore daily media hysteria...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Perhaps the greatest irony of the conflict is that it appears to be strengthening the very powers it was supposed to weaken. For years, American policymakers argued that pressure on Iran would constrain China's rise and limit Russian influence. Instead, the war has highlighted the growing importance of alternative trade routes, pipelines...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Dr. Isik Abla shares her journey from oppression, abuse, and despair in Turkey to a transformative Christian conversion in America. Her testimony highlights religious freedom, the dangers of radical Islam, national security concerns, and the courage required to defend liberty, truth, and moral clarity in an increasingly fragile world...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The brewing standoff between the United States and Israel also provides a first-time experience for the American people. Having seen Trump and Vance basically tell Netanyahu to bugger off and stop the war, Netanyahu has so far largely ignored this advice and continues to labor for the breakdown of any kind of deal with Iran...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Iran’s rulers are not ordinary nationalists searching for security. They are ideologues shaped by revolutionary Shiite doctrine and by a belief that sacrifice, subversion, and strategic patience are valid instruments of statecraft. That is why economic hardship alone will not reform them. Pressure may slow them. It may even wound...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – If billions flow back into the hands of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps while proxy networks remain intact, are we purchasing temporary stability today at the expense of a larger conflict tomorrow? Federal authorities disrupted an alleged plot targeting America's 250th Anniversary celebration and the White House UFC event...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Ethiopia’s worsening human rights crisis exposes a deeper national security danger as Christians face violence, churches burn, and civilians lose protection. Regional instability, foreign interference, weak institutions, and silence from global leaders demand renewed attention, honest reporting, and firm defense of human dignity now...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – In virtually all of our lost wars since 1954, Americans have been stuck with paying the costs of reconstruction in the losing country, and that is usually a cost that comes close to or exceeds the price of the war, not counting the cost of the dead on both sides. The celebration of winning a war, then, is not a final win, but the opening of....

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – China’s military corruption weakens combat readiness as Beijing faces mounting pressure from energy insecurity, demographic decline, debt, surveillance expansion, and technological rivalry. The United States and its allies gain a rare opportunity to strengthen supply chains, defend Taiwan’s semiconductor edge, counter authoritarian exports, and...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – I examine fentanyl as a national security threat linking Chinese precursor chemicals, Mexican cartels, counterfeit pills, money laundering, and border failures. The discussion connects Opium Wars history, gray-zone warfare, public health devastation, veterans, families, and enforcement efforts while asking what victory against America’s opioid cr...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – In place of the old American-led order, Moeini envisions what he calls the “ME5”: a loose regional framework centered on Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan. These states, he argues, possess the demographic, economic, military, and cultural weight necessary to shape the region’s future. While competition among them will...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment in Hong Kong highlights the growing clash between Communist Chinese authority and fundamental freedoms. Apple Daily’s pro-democracy voice draws prosecution under national security laws, while Amnesty International and global advocates call for Lai’s release and warn that free speech, human dignity, and rights remain under...

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 gamb...

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 National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – For more than two centuries, civilian control of the military has been the cornerstone of American liberty. Elected leaders set policy. Military leaders provide professional advice. Once lawful decisions are made, the chain of command executes them faithfully and without political interference. But what happens when politics enters the ranks?

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Yon emphasized the strategic importance of maritime chokepoints such as the Danish Strait, the Strait of Hormuz, the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Malacca. These locations are not obscure geographic trivia; they are the pressure valves of the international system. If even one is blocked or militarized, the economic...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – On this edition of the National Security Hour, host Blanquita Cullum talks about Trust. Trust in our elections and trust in the new world of AI. First, who gets to run for the office of Governor in a State like Michigan? Who makes the ballot? Is that determined by a primary petition submitted with a significant amount of valid petition signatures....
