Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

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 Fennell, 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.

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.
