This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Next year, we'll celebrate the 250th birthday of a nation founded to ensure there's “no taxation without representation.”  Unfortunately, the United Nations is poised to start levying taxes our representatives can't prevent, putting its pursuit of world government on steroids.  It begins with the International Maritime Organization imposing costs on shipping producing greenhouse gas emissions. Tens of billions of dollars would thus be generated, redistributing wealth from American and other consumers to feed the UN's climate change slush fund and agenda. This initiative would not only fundamentally transform the UN by ending its reliance on member states' funding, which affords them a measure of control. It will also create a precedent for many more taxes to fund its globalist priorities.  The Trump administration has opposed this global tax. It must now impose real sanctions to prevent it from being imposed on us.  This is Frank Gaffney.

The claxons are sounding on Wall Street. Finally, analysts are beginning to take seriously the prospect that the U.S. financial sector's longstanding practice of underwriting our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, is becoming untenable. Praise the Lord. For example, one insider newsletter recently put it this way: “We continue to believe the de-listing of Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges is increasingly likely as we believe both Republicans and Democrats will push for action. This is because there is no political downside to blocking Chinese firms from accessing U.S. capital while there is significant political risk to being branded as supporting the Chinese military and Chinese competition to U.S. companies.” In fact, for those very reasons, we should see both the relatively small number of Chinese companies listed on our exchanges and the thousands of others being traded there removed forthwith. This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Donald Trump takes rightful pride in his record of “Promises made, promises kept.” He delivered on another important pledge with the restoration to the U.S. Air Force of one its most formidable leaders, my colleague Matthew Lohmeier.  Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeier's installation last week as that service's Under Secretary not only rights a terrible wrong – namely, Team Biden's termination of his career as an exceptional aviator and rising officer in the new Space Force for publishing a damning indictment of the Marxists' cultural warfare-enabled takedown of the U.S. military.  It also puts Matt in a key management position to execute President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's orders to strip out such so-called “Wokeism,” root and branch.  Unsurprisingly, keeping that promise is proving hard to do given how deep the Left's insidious rot has penetrated and subverted our armed forces.  Let's roll, Matt.

Nearly one hundred years ago, the French government proposed a treaty to ban war. The resulting Kellogg-Briand Pact proved to be an exercise in futility, notably with the outbreak of World War II, history's worst conflict.  Next week, the French will sponsor another act of delusional diplomacy at a UN conference in New York to promote a similar non-starter – a State of Palestine. For one thing, no such state exists. It has no territory. It has no government. And, most importantly, if there were such a state, it would be a terrorist one committed to acquiring the territory of a country that actually does exist: Israel. As the Palestinians' genocidal mantra puts it, “From the river to the sea.” The Trump administration is wisely refusing to be party to such an inevitably counterproductive enterprise.  As they say in New York, “Fuggedaboutit.” This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, President Trump signed a slew of executive orders intended to assure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.  In the interest of competing with Communist China's aggressive pursuit of AI superiority, however, safeguards and oversight aimed at preventing “FrankenAI” from transforming us into a CCP-like“digital gulag” are being given short shrift.  Another, less fraught way to keep us ahead of the Chinese Communists would be to stop their underwriting by Wall Street. House China Committee Chairman John Moolenaar has just subpoenaed two of the worst malefactors – Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan and Brian Moynihan of Bank of America – in connection with their recent fundraising for a Chinese military company called CATL.   You don't need much intelligence to recognize, as President Trump did in his as-yet-unimplemented “America First Investment Policy,” that we have to stop funding the Chinese Communist Party.  This is Frank Gaffney.

 President Trump weighed in yesterday on “Obamagate” – the nation's most serious political scandal, ever. Citing evidence released last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Mr. Trump declared that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had personally led an effort to “rig the 2016 election,” then did rig the 2020 one and was guilty of “treason.” An Obama spokesman responded: “Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election, but did not successfully manipulate any votes.” This contention does not address, let alone rebut, the documented pattern of behavior by the then-President and his national security team in the aftermath of Trump's win that year.  DNI Gabbard has made a criminal referral to the Justice Department of President Obama and his alleged co-conspirators, saying “every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”  Amen.  This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Welcome to “Obamagate.”  Last week, the former Democratic Member of Congress who is now the Director of National Intelligence released copious documentary proof that in early December 2016, shortly after Donald Trump was elected to succeed him, then-President Barack Obama personally participated in the launch of a bloodless coup.  DNI Tulsi Gabbard's evidence has been forwarded to the Justice Department as a criminal referral of what she believes amounted to a conspiracy to commit treason. Her assessment is that all those implicated should be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” While the coup did not succeed in its purpose of negating a democratic election and/or overthrowing Mr. Trump's presidency, it tremendously harmed his first term and the nation. The Obamagate scandal warrants a special prosecutor and its chief perpetrator and every co-conspirator must be held accountable as soon as possible.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On Friday, the United States formally rejected a backdoor expansion of world government. In a joint statement, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio renounced American participation in a de facto treaty sneakily adopted last year by the World Health Assembly with the connivance of the Biden administration, Communist China and assorted other globalists.  In an accompanying video, Secretary Kennedy made clear what's at stake. “Are we going to be subjects to a technocratic control system that uses ‘health risks' and ‘pandemic preparedness' as a Trojan horse to curtail basic democratic freedoms?”  He added, “The United States can cooperate with other nations without jeopardizing our civil liberties, without undermining our Constitution, and without ceding away America's treasured sovereignty.”  Our Sovereignty Coalition applauds President Trump and his team for courageously defending freedom, again. This is Frank Gaffney.  

On Saturday evening, I will be joining two of the world's most knowledgeable authorities on the threat posed by “enemies within” in an extremely timely conversation sponsored by Karen Siegemund's American Freedom Alliance. The subject is the “Red-Green Axis” – the increasingly dangerous alliance between Communists and Sharia-supremacists in America. Trevor Loudon and Robert Spencer understand deeply that these totalitarian elements are working together, even though they seek very different end-states – respectively, a world run by Communist China and a global Caliphate ruling according to Islam's Sharia code.  What they have in common – as, for that matter, does yet another, allied force, namely those seeking world government dictated by the United Nations – is the immediate objective of taking down the impediment to all their ambitions: the United States. Learn what we must do to thwart these enemies within AmericanFreedomAlliance.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

On today's program: Keith Self, U.S. Representative for Texas's 3rd District, details the House's urgency in passing the rescissions bill, the drama over the cryptocurrency legislation, and the most recent successes of the House Freedom Caucus.

In recent days, Syria's formerly designated terrorist group known as HTS has conducted murderous attacks against Christians and Druze communities and seems set on destroying the survivors and what remains of that long-suffering country's other minorities.  Unsurprisingly, the group's erstwhile leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, claims to oppose such crimes against humanity. He has, after all, to keep up appearances of having moderated his historic Sharia-supremacism, for which he was rewarded by President Trump with legitimacy and sanctions relief.  Israel cannot afford such illusions. She has come to the aid of her own Druze population's relatives in Syria and Christians seeking refuge in their midst. And the Israelis have threatened to destroy al-Sharaa's regime if it persists in striking them.  It's time to reconsider the support Washington has given Syria's jihadist regime and stand, instead, with our friends whom it is determined to kill.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Frank Gaffney, President of the Institute for the American Future, talks to Shaun about the normalization of the infiltration of our nation, the Shariah's endless wars with us, and the urgency for President Trump to get us out of the World Health Organization.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For over three decades, the Chinese Communist Party has waged what it calls “unrestricted warfare” against the United States. Currently, its myriad, devastating lines of attack include what amounts to chemical warfare involving the covert manufacture and dissemination of toxic drugs that are poisoning -- and even killing – large numbers of Americans. The CCP is not just weaponizing deadly fentanyl. Increasingly, it's wielding lethal marijuana grown illegally inside this country, as well.  A powerful interview and documentary by Tucker Carlson featuring Maine investigative journalist Steve Robinson describes secret Chinese grow houses in that state and others producing potent dope, laced with potentially deadly pesticides and ravaging our homeland – both physically and societally.  It's “high time” we treat such predations as what they are – acts of war on America – by rolling up the Chinese Communists' chemical warfare operations here, and finally holding them accountable. This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump has commendable understood – and rejected – efforts by champions of “global governance” like the World Health Organization to foist upon Americans international agreements that would crush our sovereignty and personal freedoms.  To his great credit, Mr. Trump has given notice that the U.S. is withdrawing from the WHO. But it won't be effective until next January.  In the meantime, the globalists are hoping he won't formally reject their bid to advance world government via a pact giving the organization's leader the right unilaterally to declare international public health emergencies – and dictate what must be done about them. Think the WHO's disastrous COVID-19 response on steroids.  An international summit to encourage the rejection of such gambits will take place at 11 a.m. Eastern Time today. Register at antiglobalist.net. And encourage President Trump @POTUS on X to reject the IHR amendments right away. This is Frank Gaffney.

Donald Trump is continuing to ramp up threats to impose high tariffs on imports from nations around the world. Most of those being targeted are allies or at least friendly trading partners. One that has yet to receive the President's intensified pressure, however, is actually a mortal enemy: Communist China.  CCP propaganda outlet Global Times reports that in just four recent days, American consumers spent $24 billion online with much of it purchasing Chinese goods via Amazon, Walmart and Target.  Retired Navy Captain James Fanell points out that Mr. Trump “needs to take to the bully pulpit and…explain [that] if Americans keep buying goods made in the PRC, they will be responsible for arming an enemy who is prepared to destroy America….If we do not decouple, then no amount of tariffs or other measures will save this nation.” Amen. This is Frank Gaffney.

This week, the Trump administration took the first, long-overdue step to put America on a war-footing.  That's the upshot of a new “National Farm Security Action Plan” explicitly aimed at reducing the very considerable threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to our food supply, related production operations and farmland across the country.  The Action Plan's roll-out highlighted collaboration between the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Homeland Security and Justice. Their efforts will all be needed to defeat such dangerous Chinese threat vectors as: stealing our intellectual property; acquiring land within striking distance of key military installations; smuggling in crop-destroying pathogens; and operating at least one covert biological warfare lab in this country. A more comprehensive war-footing must now be adopted to protect our people and communities, including by: deporting all Chinese students, soldiers and other potential operatives; rebuilding our military; and not underwriting theirs.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On the eve of his first election, Donald Trump warned about the threat posed by an ideology he described as “radical Islamic terrorism,” sharply criticizing those who ignored that reality – and committing to counter it comprehensively.  Today, President Trump is surrounded by official and unofficial advisors convinced that deals can be done with devoted adherents to that ideology. Its financial enablers in Qatar, an al Qaeda leader now president of Syria, the surviving Hamas leadership and their Iranian sponsors are now the focus of various U.S. diplomatic and commercial engagement initiatives. Unfortunately, the radical Islamic ideology of Sharia requires its adherents to use temporary truces to deceive infidels as part of a strategy of destroying them. Mr. Trump urgently needs a second opinion, informed by those who know he was right nine years ago – lest he encourage, and enable, the Sharia-supremacists' jihadism. This is Frank Gaffney.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the latest high-profile victim of an illegal impersonation enabled by artificial intelligence. Several nations' foreign ministers, a state governor and a U.S. senator received voice messages apparently from him. It's hard to overstate the damage such seemingly official communications involving senior government leaders with national security responsibilities could cause. And that is before further, pell-mell evolutions of artificial intelligence fed by a technology race with Communist China create what amounts to “FrankenAI.”   The Trump administration wants no regulatory interference impeding that race. In its absence, the U.S. Senate just voted nearly unanimously against an amendment that would have precluded statesfrom regulating artificial intelligence for ten years.  Secretary Rubio's experience is but the latest warning that oversight and some regulation is required to warn of, and hopefully minimize, truly FrankenAI. This is Frank Gaffney.

On February 21st, President Trump issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum making it the policy of the U.S. government to stop underwriting the Chinese Communist Party.  Three months later, Jamie Dimon's JP Morgan and Brian Moynihan's Bank of America flouted that “America First Investment Policy.” They helped arrange for Americans and others to invest over $4.6 billion in a Hong Kong initial public offering of a Pentagon-designated “Chinese military company.” The Financial Times reported yesterday that 47 other Chinese corporations are now in the process of following the lead of that company known as CATL – one involved in providing advanced electric batteries to make Chinese submarines more lethal threats to our Navy and sailors. We must stop financing our mortal enemy and hold accountable those like Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan who profit from selling out America.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump famously promised that we would “get tired of winning.” The question occurs: Has he gotten tired of winning?  That appears to be the case in the wake of Mr. Trump's declaration that Israel's war with Iran is over. Today, he is expected to follow up that ceasefire with another one in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.  While some perceive such imposed ends of hostilities to be evidence of the President's power to make peace and, perhaps thereby, win a Nobel prize, such achievements are certain to prove fleeting, at best.  At worst, they guarantee more, truly endless war will be conducted against Israel, the United States and Western civilization more generally at the hands of Iranian and other Sharia-supremacists emboldened by their survival at our hands. That is the sort of “win” of which we will become very tired. This is Frank Gaffney.

Today we celebrate the founding of our nation and those who fought to realize the vision of an America free of British misrule to which they courageously pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.  As it happens, but for the intervention of another foreign power, all might well have been lost. In 1777, France formally announced its recognition of the United States of America, backed by arms shipments, diplomatic support and military forces like those that helped secure our victory at Yorktown. It behooves us to remember that crucial help as we hear reports of the Iranian mullahs murdering their people to prevent a revolution from giving rise to a Free Iran. Israel is ready to finish the job by rendering the regime unable to cling to power. All we need to do is get out of the way.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Einstein Was Right – Try The Sane Alternative to a Ceasefire in Gaza! Albert Einstein famously said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Compelling Israel once again to pull back from a decisive victory in Gaza seems to fit that description. President Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week and is expected to press his guest to accept a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas. The predictable result would be to give Hamas what their patrons – the Iranian mullahs – got from the last one in Iran: namely, a new lease on life. Compelling the Israelis to withdraw from parts of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to Hamas simply means the war there will resume in due course – and under circumstances significantly less favorable to both the Israelis and us. The time has come to try the sane alternative: Let Israel finish the job.   This is Frank Gaffney

During the Cold War, American experts would scrutinize every shred of evidence – including who stood where on Lenin's tomb during military parades – for clues about Kremlin leadership struggles and their implications for our security.  A similar phenomenon is underway at the moment regarding  China's secretive Communist hierarchy. Purges of senior military officers believed to be loyal to the current Chinese “emperor,” Xi Jinping, his recent, protracted absences – both physical and from the state-controlled media, and rumors of his ill-health are feeding speculation he may soon be toppled from power. A timely webinar today will assess whether Xi's days as absolute dictator are indeed numbered. And, either way, whether the advanced state of his preparations for a shooting war means that we are at a moment of acute danger – and what's our appropriate response.  Join us at noon Eastern Time at PresentDangerChina.org. This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump has declared “the 12-Day war is over.” But what about the truly “endless war” perpetrated by the Iranian mullahs against us and Israel when they came to power forty-six years ago?   It would be more accurate to say hostilities have paused, consistent with Islam's Sharia doctrine. It dictates that adherents like Iran's leaders can only interrupt the jihad they must wage to achieve Sharia's triumph worldwide if defeat is imminent and to buy time to regroup, rearm and renew the fighting when they can prevail.  A VictoryCo.org briefing at noon Eastern Time today will scrutinize the Iranian regime's ongoing bellicose rhetoric and actions – including a top ayatollah's religious order to assassinate President Trump. To actually end its endless war, Israel must finish the job by eliminating the mullahocracy, thus affording the Iranian people a chance to Free Iran. This is Frank Gaffney

Five years ago today, the Chinese Communist Party “fundamentally transformed” Hong Kong from a relatively free and economically thriving territory into just another enslaved city within the People's Republic of China.  With Beijing's imposition of a draconian national security law, the CCP finished off the last vestiges of the “one-country, two-systems” arrangement it promised Great Britain would apply for fifty years when she surrendered the colony in 1997.   Dissent has been crushed, with its champions like Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong cruelly imprisoned. The mainland's totalitarian social credit system enforces the Party's edicts. And Hong Kong's capital market now serves as a financial Trojan Horse, a vehicle for Wall Street to fundraise for Chinese military companies like CATL.  An even worse fate awaits Taiwan if the Chinese Communists can next acquire it, one way or another. That must not happen. This is Frank Gaffney.

The ongoing debate about the damage inflicted by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iran's nuclear weapons program is obscuring a larger – and deeply concerning – reality: What's been described as the end of “the 12-day war” has left the mullahs still in power in Tehran, their instruments for repressing the Iranian people still operating and their Communist Chinese allies still able to infuse the regime with cash, know-how and military hardware. Thus, as long as the ayatollahs remain in control, they can always simply buy nuclear weapons. They can use their surviving missiles, or newly manufactured ones, to attack our forces in the region and/or Israel. And they can activate jihadist cells in this country – including teams tasked with assassinating President Trump.  Without decisive victory and a Free Iran, what we have is not peace, but more endless war with the Sharia-supremacists.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Are they right? Or is Israel an indispensable ally? Michael Doran, Director of the Middle East Center at the Hudson Institute, confronts this controversy.

Following the U.S. military strike that devastated key parts of Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure, President Trump effusively thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his own and his country's help in ensuring the mullahs do not get nuclear weapons. He added, “We worked as a team like perhaps no other team has ever worked before.” Last night, Mr. Trump went even further in a Truth Social post, describing his partner as a WARRIOR. “We were fighting, literally, for the Survival of Israel, and there is nobody in Israel's History that fought harder or more competently than Bibi Netanyahu.”  A veteran of politically motivated lawfare himself, the President called for an immediate end to an ongoing “TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE” afflicting the prime minister. The same should apply to political warfare against Bibi being waged by some influential Trump allies here.   This is Frank Gaffney.

Yesterday, New York City Democrats chose a so-called “progressive” Muslim, Zohran Mamdani, to be their next mayor. Will his candidacy prompt at last scrutiny of what authoritative Islam's Sharia doctrine entails – a truth largely suppressed in this country since its adherents attacked us on 9/11?  Sharia requires faithful Muslims to strive to achieve its totalitarian triumph worldwide. Wherever possible, that is to be accomplished through violent jihad, or holy war, as practiced by the “perfect man”: Islam's prophet Mohammed.  When violence would be counterproductive, however, Sharia demands that jihad be pursued by other means. As we have seen in Britain especially, Sharia-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood-engineered block-voting has elected Muslim mayors in London and some twenty other cities. As Charlie Kirk recently courageously observed, “Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization.” And stealthy “electoral jihad” poses a threat to it here. This is Frank Gaffney.

In this episode, Dinesh confronts head-on the controversial issue of “regime change,” arguing it should not be our goal in Iran, but it should be an outcome we welcome. Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy joins Dinesh to discuss Iran’s nuclear program and how effectively it has been stymied, and where the US and Iran go from here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran President Trump announced yesterday came amidst signs that the cumulative effects of recent Israeli and U.S. military actions were putting the Iranian regime in extremis. The right response to the impending demise of an enemy government that has explicitly pursued for forty-six years “Death to Israel,” “Death to America” and the destruction of Judeo-Christian civilization is: “Do Not Resuscitate.” By contrast, what amounts to a hudna – a pause that allows the ayatollahs to regroup, rearm, repress their people and resume  jihad when expedient – would be strategic defeat for their intended victims, including us. President Trump has brilliantly teamed with Israel's Bibi Netanyahu to make possible a decisive victory in the truly “endless war” with Iran. Join us at VictoryCo.org for an emergency briefing today at 2 p.m. ET for what needs to be done now.   This is Frank Gaffney.

On Saturday, U.S. military forces impressively devastated Iran's nuclear weapons infrastructure. Unfortunately, some targeted enriched uranium may have been moved beforehand, assuring the Iranian regime remains a dangerous threat. So do its active options to close the Strait of Hormuz, kill U.S. troops in the region, continue attacking Israel and activate sleeper cells inside the United States.  Yet, we're insistently told we must negotiate a “peace deal” with the ayatollahs, leaving them in power, able to continue  repressing the Iranian people and actively threatening Israel's – and ours. Fortunately, President Trump seems to have opened the door to “regime change” in a social media post yesterday. Indeed, Israel must be free to finish the job by making that possible and we must stop negotiating with the mullahs, thereby legitimating them and discouraging their people from bringing about a Free Iran.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Remember the TV game show called “Let's Make a Deal”? Contestants would choose one of three doors, hoping it concealed a great prize.  The present churning on Iran feels like that show. President Trump has faced two unpalatable options: Door One: Do nothing and, effectively assure the mullahs' regime remains in place – including its covert nuclear weapons program. Or Door Two: Bomb a very hard Iranian nuclear target and become engaged military in another Mideast war.  Instead of giving the ayatollahs two more weeks to agree they won't “get the Bomb,” which amounts to Door One, he should take Door Three: Require the mullahs' true “unconditional surrender,” meaning the liberation of the Iranian people.  Anything less means victory for the Sharia-supremacists and ensures much more of the truly “endless war” they have waged against us from Iran for over forty years.  This is Frank Gaffney.

There's a secret weapon in the campaign to end the mortal threat the Iranian regime poses to Israel, America and Western civilization: namely, the people of Iran.  After all, the mullahs' Sharia-supremacist totalitarian misrule has impoverished, isolated and murdered them for over four decades. In addition, the ruling ayatollahs believe they must bring back their messiah by initiating the Apocalypse, which would kill untold millions of Iranians, among others.  If empowered to liberate themselves, Iran's people can do more to end the regime's doomsday nuclear weapons program than any external power. So, we need to encourage and enable them to rise up.  Understandably, they'll only take the immense risks of doing so if convinced Western deal-making with the regime won't sell them out again. That means no further negotiations with the mullahs for any purpose other than their unconditional surrender.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Israel's successful campaign to destroy Iran's nuclear weapons program, prevent its ballistic missiles and other weapons from attacking the Jewish State's population centers and decimate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, military and intelligence leadership has given rise to an historic opportunity.  For the first time since 1979, when the ayatollahs imposed their apocalyptic and totalitarian Sharia-supremacist regime on the country's highly cultured, capable and pro-Western population, the people of Iran have a real chance to liberate themselves.  That prospect increased immeasurably with President Trump's immortal, two-word social media post yesterday. He said simply, “Unconditional Surrender.”  By signaling an end to negotiations with the mullahs for any other purpose, the Iranian people now can, and will, bring them down. They'll need, of course, support in rejoining the civilized world. But that decisive victory is finally possible, at last.  Praise the Lord! This is Frank Gaffney.

Frank Gaffney is president of the Institute for the American Future, President & CEO of Save the Persecuted Christians, Vice Chairman for Committee on the Present Danger: China. He is speaker on the Secure Freedom Minute. Frank acted as an Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Pentagon. Frank began by reminding listeners that, "Israel has in fact been explicitly threatened with death by the Iranian regime since it came to power in 1979, 46 years ago. He went on to say, "When your enemy tells you what they're going to do to you...you must heed that warning." Frank believes Israel must "finish the job" which means to finish off the enemy. More specifically, he referred to the Mullah's in Iran and not simply taking down their nuclear weapons enterprise, otherwise he believes they will continue to foster terrorism across the globe. Review this program as Frank brings expert analysis to this subject of world tensions, not only specific to the Israel/Iran war but also regarding the following: What is the chance of possible Russian or Chinese involvement in the Israel/Iran war? With the aircraft carrier Nimitz being redirected, will this create more tension for Taiwan? Do we know who or what is funding the destructive activities in Los Angeles? How concerned should we be about sleeper cells? What are we to make of blue state, activist politicians, who are working against ICE and other federal agents?

President Trump abruptly left the G-7 meeting to work on the conflict between Israel and Iran's mullahs. Thankfully, he has explicitly said it's not to pursue a ceasefire, whose practical effect would be to deny the decisive victory Israel's security – and ours – requires.   Instead, Mr. Trump has said he's working on “something bigger” and that he wants a real end to the Iranian nuclear threat,  meaning Tehran “giving up entirely.”  Our superb “emergency briefing” yesterday showed why: The Iranian regime is committed to our destruction, not just Israel's. It's compelled by faith to lie in any negotiation. And it'll use anything short of complete defeat to regroup, rearm and resume its war on Judeo-Christian civilization.  I pray the Trump team, and you, will go to the video tape at VictoryCo.org and help Israel achieve the only acceptable outcome – namely, decisive victory.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Israel and the Iranian mullahs are at war, precipitated by the prospect nuclear weapons might soon feature in ongoing strikes on Israeli civilian targets.  Will the United States do what it has done repeatedly in previous Mideast conflicts, namely, insist that the Jewish State suspend its military operations before achieving a decisive victory?  To his great credit, President Trump has thus far resisted calls to do so again to avoid a new “endless war.” In fact, the most endless war in memory is the forty-year one the Iranian mullahs have waged against Western Civilization. It will continue and intensify if they and their nuclear weapons program survive.  An emergency briefing at 2 p.m. today will explicate why Israel is absolutely right to insist on finishing the job and why it is in America's vital interest that's accomplished. Join us at VictoryCo.org This is Frank Gaffney.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Literally overnight, the Mideast was transformed. Israeli forces conducted air and missile attacks against Iran, having determined that its regime – which had long declared the intention to destroy Israel and had repeatedly tried to do so, both directly and through myriad proxies – was poised to “go nuclear.”  Most importantly, Israel's preemptive, defensive strikes destroyed not only key parts of Iran's vast nuclear weapons infrastructure, but the IRGC security apparatus that ran it and kept the mullahs in power. It's, of course, too early to declare a permanent victory. But we can say now: Praise the Lord!  Israel has validated, yet again, that she has not only the power but the will to crush her enemies, and ours. And so has been the Trump Doctrine, whereby America wants our allies to play such a role, and will help defend them when they do.   This is Frank Gaffney.

Welcome to perhaps the most consequential grassroots-driven public policy initiative in U.S. history. On June 1st, the Texas state legislature became the fifth in the nation to exercise a little-noted constitutional authority to make gold and silver coin legal tender and “functional money.” The instigator of the Transactional Gold and Silver movement is my friend, Kevin Freeman, the author of the best-seller that launched it, Pirate Money: Discovering the Founders' Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset. Will Governor Greg Abbott now enable Texans and others to have an alternative to paper dollars that are worth ever-less and the totalitarianism-enabling Central Bank Digital Currency the Federal Reserve wants to foist upon us?  Or will he surrender to banking lobbyists indifferent to this mighty blow for freedom and, interestingly, even the opportunity for their industry to benefit from it, too? This is Frank Gaffney.

Communist China and the United States have just agreed in principle to ease trade frictions. Ostensibly, it will mean back to business-as-usual with respect to our insane dependence on Chinese exports of rare earth minerals. Unfortunately, the Chinese Communist Party's “business” is to destroy this country. For example, a third Chinese national has just been charged with smuggling here biological materials capable of devastating our agricultural sector and harming consumers. Worse yet, the unrest seen in recent days – and far more widespread agitation scheduled for the next ones – bear the fingerprints of CCP-tied donors and front groups committed to our national demise.  Of particular concern is the fact that among the millions of illegal immigrants Joe Biden let in whom Donald Trump has promised to deport are tens of thousands of apparent Chinese soldiers. Their “business” is our mortal peril. This is Frank Gaffney.

China is reportedly developing high-speed torpedoes that will use artificial intelligence to overcome the use of decoys and other techniques in order to destroy our submarines. Should that happen, it would negate one of the few remaining advantages our navy enjoys over the Chinese Communist Party's considerably larger and increasingly well-armed one. It would also compound the betrayal JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan inflicted by raising $4-plus billion for a Pentagon-designated “Chinese military company” called CATL. It's extending the lethality of Chinese non-nuclear attack submarines with advanced lithium ion batteries.  Those CEOs need to be held personally accountable for increasing the danger to American sailors with funds supplied by American investors. In so doing, they have violated President Trump's vitally needed “America First Investment Policy” and created a diabolical precedent for further underwriting our enemy via Hong Kong. This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump has deployed National Guard units to the streets of Los Angeles in response to what are not “peaceful protests,” but riots organized by powerful Communist and aligned groups.  Their goal isn't merely preventing the implementation of Mr. Trump's electoral mandate to deport millions of illegal aliens. It's the precursor to likely violent nationwide resistance to his presidency apparently planned to begin in earnest on June 14th.  Predictably, California Governor Gavin Newscom and LA Mayor Karen Bass, who recently allowed wildfires to destroy large swathes of Los Angeles, object to such efforts to end the mayhem. In fact, the Homeland Security Department says they are contributing to it. President Trump is right to nip in the bud this prospective insurrection, rather than contend with its desired consequences – which will make those of 2020's so-called “Summer of Love” pale by comparison.  This is Frank Gaffney.

On June 6th, we honor those who fought and died to liberate France from foreign invaders who brutally imposed a totalitarian ideology on her people and their continent. Tragically, France today is among the European nations now increasingly occupied, not by Nazis, but by adherents to the Islamic doctrine of Sharia. The current occupation is not yet complete. But the French government has previously acknowledged that over 700 areas of its country are effectively “no-go zones,” where repressive Sharia is the law and first-responders and non-Muslims dare not enter.  A new Middle East Forum report warns that governmental acquiescence to Sharia-supremacism is now underway in this country, too. It documents how Plano, Texas is actually paying millions of tax dollars to Islamic organizations espousing wife-beating and other affronts to Judeo-Christian civilization for which Americans have sacrificed everything.  Shut them down now.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump yesterday reinstituted a travel ban he initially ordered early in his first term. It's worth recalling why.  One reason is that there is no way to vet people from many countries across the Middle East and Africa. As he noted in a seminal speech in Youngstown on August 15, 2016, admitting their citizens risks letting in adherents to the ideology of “radical Islam” known as Sharia, which requires its adherents to engage in jihad to impose Islam worldwide. Sharia is the law of the land in most of the countries included in the new executive order. Recent terrorist attacks remind us that we must prevent more jihadists from coming here. They also underscore the necessity of removing Sharia-supremacists already here, in many cases illegally – and, as he promised in Youngstown, “stripping out” the networks that support them.  This is Frank Gaffney.
