The National Security Hour

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The one issue where adversaries may need each other most: artificial intelligence governance. Not because Washington and Beijing agree on how to run their societies — they do not. But because if AI escapes its sandbox, it does not check the nationality of the civilization it disrupts. Fred examines the narrow but vital case for a bilateral...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – Patriotism demands scrutiny of our own government. Loyalty to America means insisting on honest casualty reporting, accountable spending, and independent judgment toward every foreign partner. No administration deserves blind faith. No political party owns the Constitution. No alliance excuses silence when American lives are at...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – “Blind Justice” is the standard and hope of the American Judicial System. Really? Who gets a pardon and still chooses to plead the “5th”? Pleading the Fifth Amendment means refusing to provide testimony that might self-incriminate you. Fauci—formerly pardoned by Biden invoked the Fifth Amendment during a Senate Homeland Security and...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Spanberger's stated goals are the end of private gun ownership in the state. She has been beaten back so far on this score – higher taxes, woke school teaching, and constitutional amendments intended to expand protection for abortions and to more or less make Virginia the country's capital for that variety of murder...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The agreement describes a process in which all parties can thoroughly discuss and investigate new ideas for U.S. military activities or mineral mining and proceed once an agreement is reached. The agreement also allows EU countries to participate in mineral development if they wish, provided they agree on a process with...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Discover why Greenland's geography matters to Arctic security and missile warning—and how expanded defense cooperation could strengthen America's northern defenses. Examine the pressure on Iran's nuclear program, the challenges of verifying its capabilities, and the diplomatic work required to turn agreements into lasting peace...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – Governments race to gain an advantage. Each has reasons to move fast. The rest of us are left to trust systems their own creators cannot always explain. America cannot pretend this technology will disappear. Rivals will pursue it. Criminals will use it. We need people who understand these systems well enough to test them hard, challenge their...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – This membership has given China access to the funding, technology, and markets that it needed to become a world economic power. Now that China has that status, U.S. and other Western business leaders and companies steadily increase their presence in China and therefore aid Beijing in becoming wealthier, more militarily powerful, and...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The opportunity is real. Iraq could evolve into a regional hub that weakens Iran's leverage and offers a different model for the Middle East. That will require discipline from Baghdad, patience from Washington, and courage from Iraqis who still believe their country can be more than a proxy battlefield...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – This isn't science fiction. Every policy in this scenario is publicly advocated for, on the record, with applause. Tonight, Fred Galvin walks you through a hypothetical 2030 — two years into an administration that has delivered complete open borders by land, sea, and air; unprecedented deficit spending that has collapsed the American economy...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – The machinery of power keeps grinding ahead while the country is told not to worry. That is the oldest trick in the book. If you want to weaken a republic, first numb the people who are supposed to defend it. We need citizens who can still tell the difference between a republic and a managed illusion. We need competence, not...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Why the attempt to minimize the truth or alter the facts? What are the stakes? How important is it to respect and honor the dead, survivors, and heroes from that day? Joining host Blanquita Cullum is Scott Faulkner, former Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives and author of Naked Emperors, his Congressional...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Mr. Richardson was appointed by President Trump to begin plans to reduce the size and budgets of FEMA and eventually DHS. At FEMA, Mr. Richardson found a workforce of 6,000 employees, many of whom were walking the floors of the seven-story FEMA Building, complaining of low morale and claiming that their work did not matter...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The record is not vague. The 9/11 litigation uncovered a long and ugly chain linking Iran, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda. From the anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan to the Khartoum meetings in Sudan, militants, financiers, and state sponsors found common cause. Hezbollah taught al-Qaeda how to kill at scale...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – From Tehran and Beirut to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and the more than 350 Iran-supported attacks against American service members and diplomats in the 30 months preceding the Feb 28th 2026 Iran war, America has confronted multiple generations of terrorism, proxy warfare, and violent Islamist extremism. Now another battlefield is...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – America's escalating conflict with Iran raises concerns about military families, national security, and economic stability. Washington's shifting explanations fuel distrust as rising costs and vulnerable defenses expose the risks of intervention. Urgent calls for honesty, restraint, and withdrawal put American interests and constitutional principles first...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – BQ recalls the terror and chaos near the Pentagon on September 11 as she races toward her radio studio. Ian Trottier joins her to question John Brennan's counterterrorism record, examine intelligence failures, and discuss public trust in those responsible for protecting America's national security today...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America's ruling class faces growing anger over corruption, broken promises, and endless war. As distrust spreads across elections, media, and government, Americans demand more than partisan slogans. Restoring the republic requires honest leadership, meaningful consequences, and accountability for those who place power above public service...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Sanctions against Russia and Iran only work when governments and businesses enforce them consistently. Shadow fleets, hidden ownership, false documents, and artificial intelligence complicate compliance, while banks, shippers, nonprofits, and smaller firms face growing pressure to trace counterparties, money, vessels, and cargo before completing transactions...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Their objective is not simply to make Americans support China. Chinese Officers in the People's Liberation Army, Wang Xiangsui and Qiao Liang, wrote this doctrine in their book Unrestricted Warfare, and they are now implementing it by dividing Americans into competing tribes, destroying trust, amplifying grievances, and convincing us that...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – The resignation of Dan Driscoll is not some minor personnel story. It is a warning flare. A senior official who questioned the rush into conflict with Iran, who pushed for streamlining the Army and giving soldiers the right to repair what they use, was pushed aside. That tells you plenty about who holds power and who gets punished for telling the...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – The US has shown that it can clear mines, protect commercial traffic, and strike launch sites before missiles reach the water. That is not theater. It is deterrence. It is also a reminder that economic warfare can be as decisive as airstrikes. When financial channels are cut, when banks, insurers, shippers, and front companies are all put on...

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...
