Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

Debbie Georgatos, Host of the America Can We Talk Podcast  Debbie Georgatos and I discussed some very important developments in her native state of Texas with respect to Governor Abbott's designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic Relations as both international terrorist organizations and transnational criminal ones explored the implications of that and the necessity for similar actions to be taken both at the level of other states but also the federal level. We visited as well about more generally what is happening with respect to the Islamification of Texas and how that must be resisted. Governor Abbott's actions are important help in that regard. George Rasley, Editor of Conservative HQ I discussed with George Rasley the Abbott designation of terrorist organizations and why it is imperative that they be actually rolled up not simply branded as what they are. We also talked about the efforts in Congress to address the Chinese Communist Party's unbelievably successful tapping of Wall Street to prop itself up and fuel its military and other threatening buildups. We finally discussed the Epstein matter and whether, in fact, this is about to be behind us at last or whether, like other instances of a deliberate effort to deflect attention from their problems, the democrats will continue to promote it for their own political purposes.

Alex Newman, President of Liberty Sentinel Media, Inc I got an update from the intrepid Alex Newman from his forward-deployed position in Brazil at COP 30, where the climate change usual suspects are up to their mischief again, seeking to persuade us that the world is ending if only we avoid some trivially small fraction of CO2 being emitted. All will be well, but it's not happening, so it's the end of the world. Alex exposes the con that's going on and what it would mean for you if they are able to pull it off, including, by the way, a new agreement on censorship. The United States is, I'm hoping, going to stand to thwart all of this as President Donald J. Trump has signaled he intends to do. Praise the Lord. Peter Mcilvenna, Hearts of Oak Peter McIlvenna and I discussed the state of the civilizational jihad against the West, his own nation of Britain, but ours as well. What's happening in Florida, what's happening in Texas, what's happening at the national political level as well, all very concerning to the extent that at a minimum what we are seeing is an emboldening of the jihadists, doubtless contributing to the warnings that are now being issued by the National Counterterrorism Center that al-Qaeda may be preparing for more violent actions inside our country. Kimberly Fletcher, Founder, President and CEO, Moms for America Kimberly Fletcher and I discussed the agenda of Moms for America to try to prevent the trifecta of evil, as she calls it, from succeeding in their immediate objective, which is taking down America and their ultimate objective of ruling the world under one or the other of their strains of totalitarianism. She discussed the important role that Israel plays in trying to prevent that from happening and why it is, in fact, an exemplar of the Trump doctrine in international affairs at work, one that we should encourage, support, and have others emulate.

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer I took stock with Sam Faddis of the revolutionary that has now been elected to become the next mayor of New York and the revolution that he is going to inflict upon that city and upon our country, both by his own actions to produce chaos and disorder and what he inspires others to do, quite possibly of the violent kind amongst the increasing numbers of jihadis who unmistakably are inspired by his victory and the prospects for using classic techniques emulating the perfect man, Muhammad, to bring terror and conquest to the infidels. We also talked about the need to have our government address a whole other problem, which is the presence in America of tens of thousands, perhaps even 200,000 Chinese soldiers. Haven't you heard about that? Isn't anybody talking about it? More to the point, why isn't anybody doing anything about it? See something, say something starts with knowing something about the problem. Check it out. You'll know more after watching Sam. Dr. Karen Sigmund, President, American Freedom Alliance And a fascinating conversation with Karen Sigelman about education and what has happened to America's young people as a result of the long march through the institutions of communists and now Sharia supremacists, all determined to undermine their love of our country, their appreciation even of what it's about in the interest of becoming part of the takedown of America. God forbid. Karen's insights into how this is being accomplished and what we need to do about it are absolutely required viewing. I encourage you to check it out. Matthew Faraci, Founder of Gideon300.com A fascinating conversation with Matthew Faraci about Charlie Kirk and saving civilization from those whose God seeks our destruction as opposed to ours who seek our survival, our freedom, and our eternal life with him. We talked about the Trump doctrine and why it is very much in America's interest to have a strong and capable ally like Israel, which is able to defeat decisively its enemies and ours. We also talked about the important role of Christians in saving civilization, preserving Israel, of course, but also ensuring that our nation, our part of civilization, survives as well.

Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center of Security Policy I talked with David Wurmser, a very distinguished veteran of our military, about this day when we honor the men and women who have served their country in uniform and the importance for those who hold office, particularly in sensitive positions in our country, to do as they do, which is to faithfully swear and fulfill an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. We also talked about how Zoran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, simply cannot honestly make such an oath or be expected to fulfill it. And he and others are seeking through elections to gain office in sensitive positions, like that of the Mayor of New York, which must be subjected to background investigations and obtain a security clearance, just as do people who are appointed to such posts in our government. Dede Laugesen, CEO & President at Save the Persecuted Christians & Mike Arnold, MBA., Founder, Africa Arise International I had a fascinating update with Dede Laugesen, and Mike Arnold about the plight of Christians in Nigeria. What is happening not only to those being massacred regularly there, but also those driven into internally displaced person camps that are little more than concentration camps of terrible privation. And what must be done about it, especially if President Tanubu of Nigeria visits Donald Trump in the White House, as is being reported, might be imminent.

Kenneth Abramowitz, Co-Founder and Managing General Partner of NGN Capital I had a fascinating conversation with Ken Abramowitz about the implications of what he calls a cultural 9-11, which befell this country when the people of New York City, or well, frankly, a small fraction of them, voted to put a Sharia supremacist 12er in charge of their city Zoran Mamdani, what the implications are of the failure of our civilization to prevent such an enemy, I call him the Trojan Horseman of the Apocalypse, into a position of responsibility for the security of America's most important city. What did it do far beyond the residents of New York as well?

George Rasley, Editor of Conservative HQ George Rasley and I talked about the elections that took place earlier this week in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey. We came to the conclusion that the arrival of radical leftists and jihadist sympathizers in New York City, in particular, is going to be a very ominous thing there and quite possibly for the rest of the country as well. We also discussed the Christian persecution and the need for the president to apply the same standard to Syria when Al-Sara meets with him on Monday that he is to Nigeria. And also, we talked about Florida's success in banning the sale of land to the Chinese communists. This will be not only a victory in the courts for that state, but also for others across the land who need to do the same.   Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show Bill Walton and I talked about the latest developments in the Chinese communist leadership, whether Xi Jinping is on the ropes or whether he has been strengthened by the trade deal struck by Donald Trump in recent days. Neither way, whether what may be in prospect is his ambition to use military force if needed to establish China's rightful place in the world, namely the Middle Kingdom, and to remove us as the impediment to achieving that goal of global power.   Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer I discussed with Sam Faddis the prospects for revolutionary activity emerging from the elections in New York City and in Virginia as those who seemingly embrace the most radical of agendas, whether it's the communist or the Islamist, are now going to be entrusted with the responsibility of the safety and security of New York City on one hand and that of Virginia on the other. It does not bode well that they seem in both the case of Zoran Mamdani and Abigail Spanberger to embrace this lurch to the hard left of the Democratic Party, and perhaps are prepared to embrace well the classic Leninist line, the worse the better.

Dede Laugesen, CEO & President at Save the Persecuted Christians, Charmaine Heading, Executive Director, The Shai Fund & Nadine Menza, President, The IRF Secretaria I spoke with three extraordinary heroes in the fight against persecution of Christians, Dede Laugesen, Nadine Menza, and Charmaine Heading, talked about how President Trump needs to apply the very important principles that he has just laid down about Nigerian Islamists killing Christians with respect to his visitor on the 10th of November Ahmed al-Sharah, a Syrian jihadist who has been doing exactly the same thing, at least until he became president of Syria, and possibly still. Matt Chancey, Director of The Persecution Project I talked with Matt Chancey about the appointment and now the installation of Brent Boazel as the ambassador of the United States to South Africa, one of the continent's most important nations and one of our most important patriots is now representing our country there. We are hopeful that this will portend not only very important course corrections in American policy towards the tip of the African continent, the southern tip, but also for other nations throughout that continent, best understood to have within many of them pro-American elements who are generally not being well treated and whom we can lift up and work with. Rod D. Martin, Chairman of The Board, Institute for The American Future I had a fascinating conversation with Rod Martin about the elections that have just taken place. He points out that blue candidates won in blue states. Not exactly a surprise, but does it portend trouble ahead for Donald Trump? And if so, what he and the Republican Party must do now. We also talked about the Supreme Court hearing about the president's authority to issue regulations and issue licenses and associate fees with the import of certain products. Clearly, a constitutional prerogative, one that has been upheld by the Court in the past, as I understand it, rather than using tariffs to raise revenue, which would, according to many members of the Court, it seems, interfere with the legislative branch's responsibilities. You're going to want to watch this space, because this is a very, very important case and will have huge implications for not only this presidency but for the country as well. 

Trevor Loudon, Creator & Author, The Enemies Within (Documentary and Book) Trevor Loudon took stock with me about the elections that took place yesterday, as we speak, electing a jihadist communist to run New York City with a taste for apocalyptic action to precipitate the golden age of Islam. We also spoke of people who turn out to be not so moderate Democrats, now elected to become the governors of Virginia and New Jersey. In the case of Virginia, alongside another Sharia supremacist Muslim, it appears grim tidings for the president, for these communities involved, and for America, I fear. Captain James Fanell, Former Naval Intelligence Officer I spoke with Captain James Fennell about seeming mixed signals coming out of the Trump administration about China. On the one hand, some very important actions are being taken to try to diminish our dependence on China and the vulnerabilities associated with those dependencies. On the other hand, signaling that all is well in that relationship, the prospects now exist for everlasting peace between our two nations. Really? We also talked about issues involving nuclear testing, exotic equipment on the USS Ford, and whether it should be replicated elsewhere in our future aircraft carriers. And also the advisability of having the South Koreans, now under communist rule, involved in building our next generation of nuclear submarines.

Mike Arnold, MBA., Founder, Africa Arise International | Africa Arise USA I had a fascinating conversation with Mike Arnold, a former mayor of a little town in Texas who has taken on and dramatically exposed the government of Nigeria for its role in genocide against Christians in that country, prompting President Trump, among other things, step in and try to protect those who are being victimized by jihadists and the genocide they're intent on inflicting, not just on the people of Nigeria, Christians especially, but the rest of Western civilization, if they can. Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center of Security Policy David Wurmser and I discussed the necessity for some course correcting; people who are bringing about Christian genocide in Nigeria are also funding operations elsewhere around the world, and yet are seen as American allies. Very problematic, problematic state of play in all of that, urgently in need of American executive branch attention. We also talked about what is taking place at the moment in Gaza, as well as the tremendous upheavals afflicting the deep state in Israel, what it can mean for the government there, as well as for the cause of liberty and security of the Jewish people in Israel. 

Dede Laugesen, CEO & President at Save the Persecuted Christians I visited with Dede Laugesen of Save the Persecuted Christians about what Donald Trump is doing along those lines. In fact, doing very much along the specific recommended lines of our coalition, namely holding accountable those like the government of Nigeria implicated in the persecution of Christians and creating powerful disincentives to them to continue doing so. It is truly a God thing that Donald Trump has stepped up to help in this vital work. Robert Destro, Former Assistant Secretary of State Robert Destro and I discussed the way forward for saving persecuted Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere around the world, what Donald Trump is proposing to do about it, including possibly guns ablazing, and what else we must do to alleviate this greatest crime against humanity in all of human history, namely the heavy persecution of 380 million Christians around the world. Trevor Loudon, Creator & Author, The Enemies Within (Documentary and Book) I spoke with Trevor Loudon about the prospects that New York City is about to impale itself on the threat vector posed by Zoran Mamdani's attachment to both communism and Sharia supremacism of arguably the worst kind, the apocalyptic Shia tradition known as Twelverism, and what that might mean for not just New York City, but also for our country. We also discussed another country, our ally Australia, now firmly in the control of another communist, Anthony Albanese, and the increasing embrace he's engaged in, emboldening for sure, and almost certainly translating in due course to full-on submission to the Chinese Communist Party.

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer  Sam Faddis and I discussed the dangers of relying on nuclear weapons that have not been tested in this country for 33 years in an effective and realistic underground, low-yield sort of way. We have not seen similar restraint exercised in Russia and China, it would appear, though our ability to discern low-level testing that is almost certainly being concealed is very limited indeed. We also talked about the threat of the Mamdani mayoralty prospect, given his interest, it would appear, theological, ideological, not only in a communist take down of New York City, but also perhaps an apocalyptic one, in keeping with his 12-er theology. We also visited about the success of the deep state in resisting Donald Trump's reform efforts personified in the firing of a great patriot, important biological warfare expert and public servant by the name of Dr. Stephen Hadfield, evidently because he was getting in the way of the big pharma and unaccountable bureaucracies' agenda with respect to mRNA vaccinations, or vaccines I should say. Dede Laugesen, CEO and President of Save The Persecuted Christians & Jorge Parrott, President of Correll Missionary Ministries Dede Laugesen and I had a protracted conversation about an unbelievably awful situation taking place around the world. The worst crime against humanity of all time is befalling Christians who are being persecuted simply for following Jesus Christ. We talked about a new initiative of the Conservative Political Action Coalition to focus attention on these problems.  We talked about a very important meeting they had in Washington, D.C., this week and how the Trump administration is stepping up to try to help Christians. We also talked about South Korea, a place where the persecution of Christians seems to be a leading edge of the communist takeover of that country, as well as what is happening to Christians in Myanmar and their plight as the competing forces wrestle for control of the country. Very important topics all and insights into what may be coming here if we're not careful.

Rick Green, President, Patriot Academy I visited for a full hour with Rick Green about the kind of education that young patriots require if we are to rebuild liberty in this country, especially as the anniversary of the 250th of its founding arrives, and in the face of challenges both foreign and domestic who seek to take down our country by depriving students and others of us the kind of situational awareness about how precious freedom is, what has been done to bequeath it to us, and what we must in turn do to ensure we turn it over to the next generation.

Rod D. Martin, Chairman of The Board, Institute for The American Future Rod Martin and I discussed the state of the trade negotiations between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Whether we are making available to the Chinese life support that will permit our mortal enemy to survive again and once more, and in even more dangerous ways, perhaps threaten our very existence as a nation and a people. We also discussed whether, instead, we should be actively pursuing a very different policy akin to that Ronald Reagan applied to the Soviet Union, namely taking down the Communist Party, in this case of China, rather than perpetuating it to our mortal peril. Robert Spencer, Director, Jihad Watch Robert Spencer and I discussed in chilling detail the very, very serious danger posed to New York City and to America by Zoran Mamdani, the leading candidate to be the next mayor of that city, a man whose communist predilections and whose loyalty not only to Sharia Islamic totalitarian code but also the 12-er death cult poses the potential for not just privation and even chaos in America's most populous city but possibly mass destruction not only there but elsewhere in America. It must not be allowed to happen.

Daniel Horowitz, Host of Conservative Review Daniel Horowitz and I discussed over the course of an extraordinary. Hour-long conversation. The threat that we face from Sharia supremacism, more generally, and specifically from the prospect of the election of a Marxist Sharia adherent Muslim who actually happens to be a subscriber to the Twelver agenda famous, made famous by the rulers of Iran, which envisions ushering in the apocalypse in order to bring about the return of the 12ers messiah figure and the golden age of Islam that he will violently bring about. We also talked about the steps that we must take to prevent the kind of takedown of America that these assorted totalitarians, and especially the Sharia adherent ones, have in mind for us. As ever, Daniel Horowitz is a man of ideas as well as a man with solutions. You want to hear what they are.

With Ralph Pezzullo Author of “Stolen Elections: The Takedown Of Democracies Worldwide” & Gary Bentsen, Co-Author of “ Jawbreaker: The Attack on Bin Laden and Al Qaeda”   I spoke with Ralph Pizzola and Gary Bentsen about an important new book and investigation that is exposing the reality of the theft of not just the 2020 election but a series of other ones, both in this country and in some 72 other nations around the world. The book is Stolen Elections, The Take Down of Democracies Worldwide by Ralph Bizzula. The investigation is being spearheaded by Gary Bentsen and now increasingly agencies of the United States government whom we hope will shortly be prosecuting those guilty of criminal activity with respect to the violation of our election integrity.

Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show I discussed with Bill Walton the upcoming meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping against the backdrop of some very important insights brought to us by author Lee Smith in his new book, The China Matrix, describing the mortal threat we face from the Chinese Communist Party and from their captured elites inside this country is Donald Trump at risk of being one of them? That is the question of the hour. Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs at the Center of Security Policy I spoke with Dr. David Wurmser about the threat to the safety and security of the people of New York City and its community writ large. If a man who embraces the Shiite 12ers of Iran becomes its next mayor, that's in prospect, unless people take to heart the warnings that will be made in not only remarks David Wurmser provided for the show, but also a very special threat briefing by the Victory Coalition on Tuesday at 12 p.m. Eastern Time. Find out more about that at victoryco.org.  We also talked about what's going on in Gaza the reality that there is very little likelihood of any enduring peace there unless Israel is enabled to, unless Israel succeeds in finishing the job by disarming and destroying Hamas.

Reggie Littlejohn, President, Women’s Rights Without Frontiers I spoke with Reggie Littlejohn about the PABS system, a formula that the World Health Organization has conjured up for proliferating biological weapons around the world and enhancing, simultaneously, its control over public health. What could possibly go wrong? We also talked about the digital gulag that seems to be in the works in Europe and elsewhere around the world, again, at the hands of the global governance types in the Chinese Communist Party and the UN, but also perhaps among some working in the Trump administration and setting the stage possibly for a Chinese-style social credit system in the United States under the next administration.   David Walsh, Managing Director of Takota group I discussed with Dave Walsh the energy security challenges posed by, of all people, Republicans in control of the state of Florida at every level and seemingly indifferent to the craziness of taking perhaps as much as 1,200 square miles of Florida's real estate putting it under solar farms that don't work most of the time.   Jonathan Tobin, Editor-in-Chief, JNS.org Jonathan Tobin and I discussed the actual state of the so-called ceasefire and the Middle East peace that is supposed to be built on it in Gaza. And it ain't necessarily so that it's going swimmingly and that it will succeed if only the United States compels Israel to refrain from responding to serial violations of the spirit, if not the letter of the deal by Hamas. We also talked about the implications of all of this for the government of Israel, its future. I don't know what, I'm worried about that. What else did I do? We also discussed the unreliable character, to put it charitably, of the Qataris and the Turks when it comes to compelling Hamas to disarm and, for that matter, refraining from intensifying their efforts to destroy the State of Israel.

Today, the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history concludes in Wisconsin. The prime reason is the expectation that, if the leftist candidate being supported by immense amounts of money from George Soros and other Democrat donors, Susan Crawford, prevails she will inject herself in deciding congressional redistricting. It would give the term “activist judge” a new meaning.  Crawford appealed to donors at a January event billed as “a chance to put two more House seats in play in 2026,” supporting electoral maps designed to make those Republican districts into ones favoring Democrats, possibly impacting control of the federal House of Representatives. While various courts across the country have injected themselves into redistricting disputes, it’s astounding that a judicial candidate is so nakedly selling her seat to interested partisans. That’s a precedent that should not be set in Wisconsin today.  This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.   The immensity of the depravity and evil of the Sharia-supremacists doing business as Hamas has just been underscored yet again by its latest act of barbarous inhumanity.    On February 20th, the Gazan jihadist regime turned over the corpses of four Israelis kidnapped during its genocidal attack on October 7th 2023. Two were infants, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. The third was represented as the remains of their mother, Shiri.   Israeli forensic experts confirmed the identity of the murdered children. But Hamas evidently is still withholding Shiri’s body.    Such sick cruelty violates the so-called Gaza “ceasefire.” Worse, it demonstrates anew the sorts of horrific violence and psychological torture Hamas yearns to inflict on every Israeli – and every American.    It’s past time for the Hamas death cult to get exactly what it deserves: Extinction.    Prime Minister Netanyahu: Finish the job.    This is Frank Gaffney.

Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch Robert Spencer about the supremacist character of Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist organizations and what it tells us about their true intentions and their absolute indifference to the idea that if someone actually ceases fire, they will behave peaceably and end the war against Israel. We discussed how that war is not confined to Israel. It is something that we are facing in the West, including here. And if we don't help Israel succeed in defeating Hezbollah and its ilk. Vanessa Battaglia, Independent Researcher Vanessa Battaglia checked in to give us an update on her research and reporting on what the Chinese Communist Party is doing with the help of certain states in this country to penetrate our economy and our government. The purpose of providing employment opportunities, we're told. But in fact, it almost certainly means more subversion and dangers here at the hands of the CCP.
