The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – While the issue has yet to play itself out, Mr. Helegesen said he thought there was room for a compromise based on the fact that Greenland is strategically vital to NATO’s defense planning, and that the United States already has more-or-less unlimited sway in deciding how to ensure its defense arrangements in Greenland, especially...
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – For years, Americans were told that climate change—not China, not Russia, not Iran—was the greatest existential threat to U.S. national security. Under the Biden administration, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin declared climate change an existential crisis, redirecting the Pentagon’s focus toward 91 environmental research...
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – China isn’t wobbling the way Western chatter claims. In my conversation with veteran factory operator in China, Dan Collins, the signal came through loud and clear: there’s no coup in modern China, and this latest “purge panic” is more likely about power discipline (corruption, war planning, or both) than palace intrigue...
The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Are dangerous foreign players stepping in to create more volatility inside and outside of Iran? Who are the main players? China? Russia? Domestically, are foreign entities, countries, or individuals propping up and supporting demonstrations in the US? Where does it lead—to what end? Who is sitting at the table of this series of organized chaos?
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Calls grow for decisive action as unrest spreads across American cities, with claims of an organized insurrection undermining law, sovereignty, and constitutional order. The focus centers on political leadership, foreign influence, immigration, and national security, urging immediate enforcement of existing laws to preserve the republic...
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – We are living through a revival of great power competition that plays out in places most Americans never imagined. We must put American interests first, strengthen defenses across the hemisphere and the Arctic, and stand with those who risk everything for freedom. That is how we protect the republic our founders entrusted to us...
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The political influence operations aimed at conservatives in the United States are not organic. They are global. Steven Kuhn explains how ideological narratives that historically did not resonate in America—terms like “fascist,” “Nazi,” “authoritarian,” and “no kings”—were developed, normalized, and weaponized in Europe, then deliberately...
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – There is a better alternative: stop outsourcing U.S. policy to proxy forces with extremist roots; stop laundering their reputations to fit Beltway talking points; stop treating local allies as disposable; and stop building Iran strategy on the most volatile accelerant in the region. If the last twenty years taught anything, it’s that chaos is easy to unleash and...
The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – According to Andi Buerger J.D., survivor, founder, and Chairman of Voices Against Trafficking, “At a time when real-life heroes or role models can be scarce, ordinary people are making a difference in human rights, not for glory but for good.” Andi, a survivor, shares insights on how to recognize and help victims...
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – On Iran, Professor Dorsey noted that Trump’s foreign-policy behavior has been – as it was in Venezuela – on-again (ready for war) and off -again (marking time until war). Professor Dorsey said this is a very dangerous way to treat the Iranian government. That government is fully aware of the force the US can bring to bear on the...
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – If we want a safer world, start with real health. Fund sanitation and nutrition. Strengthen oversight, so aid serves people, not contracts. Insist that pathogen sharing is transparent, time-limited, and tied to capacity building. Break the monopoly of secrecy around genetic data. Hold bureaucracies accountable. Return medicine to the bedside and away...
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Because Greenland sits on the shortest strategic line between Eurasia and the United States—a corridor now exploited by Sino-Russian increased military coordination, including both undersea mapping operations to destroy vital underseas communications lines, mapping of underseas terrain for adversaries safe submarine navigation into the western...
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – America bleeds power not through invasion, but through strategic incompetence. Control of global chokepoints still decides trade, war, and influence, yet Washington turns quiet leverage into public theater. As allies grow uneasy and rivals advance patiently, geography exposes a deeper rot: an empire that outsourced strength, mistreats partners, and mistakes noise for power...
The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Does the United States need to take control of a country like Greenland to establish a “Golden Dome” to protect the United States? Are our longtime allies moving toward countries that pose a threat to us, such as Canada and Mexico, cozying up to China? How about Iran? How close are they to countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and...
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – There is no easy exit from this trap. Iran is not a single narrative. Kurds, Arabs, Turks, Persians, leftists, monarchists, moneyed factions, and armed units all push their own vision. Whoever holds the guns will have a seat at the table. There is no clear, uncontested leader to replace the clerical state. Someone waving an old royal flag will not unify...
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – For the United States, according to Professor Dorsey, a military intervention would be a mistake of large proportions. Indeed, it probably would unite the Iranian population against the United States. In terms of politics, culture, and reputation, the United States at the moment possesses almost nothing that Iranians are eager to have at home...
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – From Iran’s long revolutionary history to the present-day uprising, to the global shockwaves that could follow regime change, this is not about what already happened—it’s about what may happen next. For the United States, global allies, and strategic competitors alike, the stakes are enormous. China currently depends on Iran and Venezuela for...
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – What we do now is drift from conflict to conflict, using the U.S. military as a global enforcement arm for political frustration. Venezuela today. Ukraine yesterday. Iran tomorrow. The logic is always the same: we can, therefore we should. A real national security strategy does three things. It keeps Americans safe, free, and prosperous. It avoids wars we...
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – U.S. actions in Venezuela expose the recurring dangers of interventionism, from regime uncertainty to costly military escalation. The narrative questions war driven by oil, politics, and global norms, arguing that targeting leaders invites disaster. Drawing on intelligence experience, it warns that endless wars drain lives, liberty, and national strength while weakening democratic...
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Brennan allegedly defrauded the US Government and its People by inducing Congress to spend more money to stop terrorism that it needed to—the result was due to Brennan’s deliberate inability to keep the nation safe. High Stakes Treason reveals what appears to be a major act of treasonous financial fraud committed against the American people...

Until the USCG National Maritime Center is completely overhauled, the licensing of merchant mariners does not have a chance of coming back. Tearing it completely down and salting the earth comes to mind. This opinion comes from nearly forty years in this business.
