The National Security Hour

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The H1B system, along with student visa work schemes such as CPT and OPT, has become a pipeline for corporate labor arbitrage. Employers do not merely recruit from abroad. They often build a workforce on wages lower than what Americans would accept, then lock in that advantage through regulations written by bureaucrats and sold by...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – And now comes the economic hammer: tariffs against countries that continue qualifying trade with Iran. Can Iran survive military destruction, collapsing oil revenues, secondary sanctions, financial isolation, and pressure on every nation still keeping its economy alive? Join Fred Galvin on The National Security Hour as we...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The American public was never given the full picture. Official language softened the enemy. Bureaucracies preferred vague terms to hard truths. That made the country slower to understand the threat and easier to manipulate. When governments hide the nature of an adversary, they also weaken the public will needed to confront it...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – At home, the costs are already visible. Inflation is real, even when statistics try to dress it up. Debt is ballooning. The defense establishment keeps feeding on itself while promising security it can no longer deliver. The result is a nation that talks like an empire and behaves like a creditor with a collapsing balance sheet...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Sophisticated scammers exploit fear, urgency, official-looking messages, and false authority to manipulate victims into costly mistakes. From impersonation fraud to institutional corruption, vigilance becomes essential as citizens verify claims, preserve evidence, question pressure tactics, and protect themselves and others from calculated deception and intimidation schemes...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America's war with Iran exposes deep concerns about U.S. foreign policy, the alliance with Israel, national sovereignty, military priorities, and free speech. The argument calls for an America First approach that rejects unnecessary wars, restores independence, and reassesses Washington's commitments across the Middle East region...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Beijing understands the stakes perfectly. South Korea is not just a peninsula. It is a hinge. If China can pull Seoul away from Washington, Japan is exposed, Taiwan is more vulnerable, and the broader Pacific balance tilts. That is why economic pressure, political dfinfluence, and information warfare all converge on Seoul...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – “Accountability isn't misdirection. Changing the standard of accountability depending upon who holds power may be.” Don't just watch where the spotlight is pointed. Look at what remains in the dark. The National Security Hour with Fred Galvin. Follow the numbers. Follow the money. Follow the facts...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey and Col. Mike –A serious country would put its citizens first. It would secure the border, fix the vote, end the subsidy for foreign fraud, and stop feeding endless wars. It would say plainly that American sovereignty is not negotiable. That kind of honesty would be disruptive. It would also be the first real act of leadership in years...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America's constitutional safeguards face mounting danger as presidents increasingly assume war-making powers reserved for Congress. The conflict with Iran highlights the consequences of unchecked executive authority, prolonged military intervention, national debt, and public complacency while the Founders' warnings about presidential power become increasingly...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Too many are still fighting wars that never ended. Some are homeless. Some are isolated. Some are carrying moral injury, a wound that no medal can erase. Some are simply exhausted by the distance between what they need and what institutions can provide. What stands out is not charity alone, but urgency...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate university conduct policies? Liz Magill of Penn called the issue “context-dependent,” Claudine Gay of Harvard said it depended on context, and MIT President Sally Kornbluth said it would violate policy if directed at individuals; Columbia President Minouche Shafik later took a more...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Trump and the Republicans appear to be headed toward the adoption of Keynesian, if not socialist, economic policies. The Republican Congress and Trump seem perfectly in step with Keynes' disastrous recipe for economic improvement: “spend, spend, spend.” On the socialist side, Trump is very active in buying equity in...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – There is a deeper point here. Wars like this do not make America stronger. They make Washington poorer, more arrogant, and more dependent on the very foreign interests that steer us into trouble. Each new round of sanctions, each new threat, each new promise to do more only tightens the trap. Meanwhile, the country at home frays...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike – The uncomfortable truth is that Iran has improved its position. If shipping lanes are managed through territorial waters, if fees are imposed, if Washington's naval pressure must be eased before any opening takes effect, then the bargaining table has already moved toward Tehran. That is not rhetoric. It is leverage. Washington still behaves as...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Budde shares his experiences flying the legendary UH-1N Huey, deploying throughout the Pacific and Central Command regions, and serving in combat in Iraq. He also recounts his demanding role as a Forward Air Controller with a Marine Maritime Special Purpose Force, coordinating aviation support where precision, judgment, and split...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Levine says AI'S new battleground is not technology; it is trust. How does one get to the truth through AI? How are we not manipulated or led astray through convincing presentations, videos, and redefined history? “In artificial intelligence, your reputation is developing at the same speed as your technology, according to Michael Levine...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Stephen Helgesen examines growing strains in U.S.-Denmark relations, including disputes over NATO, Ukraine, Greenland, and Iran. He explains how sharper rhetoric and reduced diplomatic engagement weaken a historically friendly alliance while suggesting renewed public outreach and stronger embassy involvement could help repair mutual trust again...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The issue is larger than one man's vanity. Fauci became the symbol of a structure that joined scientific authority, federal money, media discipline, pharmaceutical ambition, and emergency power. That structure rewarded certainty when uncertainty was honest, obedience when argument was needed, and coercion when restraint might...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Freedom is rarely lost in a single moment. It disappears gradually—through one silenced voice, one weakened election, and one constitutional right surrendered at a time. These rights are not separate. They form one system: Speech exposes abuse. The vote removes abusive leaders. The Second Amendment protects the people when...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Space—the last frontier? It was our greatest triumph – is it now a distant memory? Today, we are back on the Road to the Moon. Last April, Artemis III test docked along with Elon Musk's SpaceX and Blue Origin landers with the objective to prepare Artemis IV to return to the Moon in 2028...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The war with Iran follows America's familiar pattern of unconstitutional intervention, military failure, political betrayal, and economic damage. As lawmakers deepen ties with Israel and expand defense commitments, ordinary Americans face mounting costs, strategic losses, weakened sovereignty, and another conflict fought for foreign interests abroad...

The National Security Hour with Al Johnson (LTC Sangari) – South Korea stands at the center of an intensifying struggle over trade, technology, and regional security. As China, North Korea, and Russia expand pressure, Washington faces growing risks to alliances, semiconductor supply chains, military deterrence, and the broader balance of power across Asia and the Pacific in the years ahead...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The pattern is always the same: grassroots rhetoric, violent revolution, seizure of power, elimination of opposition, destruction of faith, collapse of freedom, enrichment of the party elite, and suffering for the very people the revolution claimed to liberate. Many on the American “progressive” left now champion socialism as the future...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Beneath the headlines lies a deeper strategic question: what happens when a nation enters a prolonged conflict without a clear public justification, while the institutions designed to oversee war gradually cease performing their constitutional roles? That question now deserves as much attention as the battlefield itself...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Washington is once again proof that the calendar matters as much as the headlines. With the House racing toward recess and the Senate lingering only a bit longer, lawmakers are trying to stack defense, funding, and election security measures before they vanish for August. The issue is not simply what passes...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – From absurd levels of taxation, to even more absurd levels of national debt, to wars that are started by presidents on their own volition, and the quiet but ever-progressing denial of protections for the citizens called for by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, freedom is gradually slipping away from Americans...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – When Americans chase every local fight without naming the strategist behind the chaos, they are already losing. This is why the fixation on symptoms is so costly. A stolen voter file, a proxy war, a campus protest, a hostile media environment- these are not disconnected events. They are pieces of a larger contest over power and...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – This is not just a fight over ships. It is a fight over American credibility, global energy security, inflation, the midterm election battlefield, and whether a rogue regime can hold the world economy hostage while pretending to negotiate peace. Fred will examine Iran's familiar playbook: say one thing before the United Nations...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – The Charlie Kirk case reveals a widening crisis of confidence in American institutions. Questions about evidence, transparency, and political influence fuel public skepticism toward investigators, courts, federal agencies, and the media. As unanswered concerns multiply, credibility depends on open procedures, clear explanations, and facts that withstand scrutiny under public...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Keller discusses his life on the run with BQ and takes listeners inside the battles between disruptive entrepreneurs and entrenched corporate power, showing how prosecutors, regulators, and competitors worked in tandem to crush a market they could not control. Keller says it is not a “white collar sob story” but a first-person account of...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Investigative journalist Jack Maxey and analyst Brandon Weichert examine the expanding Iran war, escalating U.S. strikes, retaliation against American and Israeli targets, military shortages, foreign involvement, and mounting strategic failures. The discussion warns that intervention, weak logistics, political pressure, and possible troop deployments risk a deeper, disastrous...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The answer is not American boots on the ground. The answer is already inside Iran. Kurdish, Baluchi, Azeri, Ahwazi Arab, and organized opposition forces have been resisting for years. They need support, recognition, and coordination, not occupation. The world should also stop pretending that a regime built on executions, repression, and...

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 fragile...

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 shape a safer global balance order...

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 crisis truly requires at home...
