General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie was the Commander of United States Central Command when the U.S. took out Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. What can we learn from Gen. McKenzie's time as CENTCOM Commander? It's simple: America's enemies respect our strength. And when we fail to punish bad actors, stand by our allies, or uphold our commitments, our enemies – from Iran to Russia to China – are emboldened. In our conversation with Gen. McKenzie, we discuss his new book, lessons from his service under multiple administrations, and the decision making leading up to America's withdrawal from Afghanistan. General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie the former Commander of United States Central Command. He currently serves as the Executive Director of the University of South Florida's Global National Security Institute, the Executive Director of the Florida Center for Cybersecurity, and as a Distinguished Senior Fellow on National Security at the Middle East Institute. He is the author of The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century (Naval Institute Press, 2024).Read the transcript here.

John Sherwood interviews General Kenneth F. “Frank” McKenzie Jr., USMC Ret. about his new book The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century.  General McKenzie served as the commander of CENTCOM from March 2019 to April 2022. In that role, he oversaw the 2020 strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the leader of the Iranian Quds Force; and America's final withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.  

Summary General Frank McKenzie (Biography, LinkedIn) joins Andrew (X; LinkedIn) to discuss his new book, The Melting Point. General McKenzie was the 14th commander of the United States Central Command.  What You'll Learn Intelligence Combatant commands and their purpose Leading CENTCOM, Central Command The role of intelligence in military leadership  The US withdrawal from Afghanistan Reflections Learning from the lessons of history  The importance and impact of leadership  And much, much more … Quotes of the Week “What that leads you to is really, intelligence. It paints that picture and it describes the operational environment within which you can operate. So here's the risk. If you're an aggressive commander … There's a temptation to lean on intelligence to tell you what you want to hear, shape the information … In the back of your mind, you need to recognize, you can't go into it with what I would call confirmation bias.” – General Frank McKenzie.

Frank McKenzie, retired Commander of U.S. Central Command and author of The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Frank discuss his time at Central Command, from the strikes on Qassem Soleimani and two leaders of ISIS to deterrence operations against Iran and the U.S. withdrawal from Kabul. They also discuss The Melting Point's three themes: civilian control of the military, the role of the combatant commander, and the centrality of leaders in today's battlefield environment.

In this episode of State Secrets, we're talking with Cipher Brief Expert, retired General Frank McKenzie. General McKenzie served for forty-two years in the U.S. military as a Marine and retired as the fourteenth commander of U.S. Central Command.  He also served as Director of the Joint Staff.  Perhaps one of the missions he is best known for was overseeing the targeted drone assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in January of 2020.  It was a strong and clear U.S. response to the planning and executions of operations that killed Americans.  Operations in which Soleimani, a popular Iranian general, had played a key role. The photo that's on the cover of McKenzie's new book, The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century sums up the grit that he brought to every role he had.  The picture was taken at the Kabul airport in August of 2021, just one day after U.S. troops fought back a breach at the airfield's southern perimeter and the stories he shares in the book are a true insiders look at some of the most controversial military operations of our time. Here's my State Secrets conversation with retired General and author, Frank McKenzie.

In April 2022, General McKenzie retired from the Marine Corps after completing over 42 years of service.

When he celebrated his birthday Saturday 20 November, having turned 80, the oldest American President ever had a lot to look forward to, as his party, running on his platform and record - and although “all politics is local” - kept control of the Senate. But Joe Biden has three strong rivals, equal to him in rank if not power - China's Xi Jinping, Russia's Vladimir Putin and the Republicans' Donald Trump. Three Presidents, one former and two incumbents. How will the US Commander-in-Chief of the world's leading superpower deal with this triple threat?

Plaintiffs' and their Counsel's Bad Faith Defeats Suit Against Insurer No Good Deed Goes Unpunished - Plaintiffs Abused the Tort of Bad Faith Julio Palma and Miriam Cortez (the Plaintiffs) appealed an order granting summary judgment in a bad faith insurance case against Mercury Insurance Company (Mercury). Mercury insured Frank McKenzie, who killed Plaintiffs' son in a car crash. Plaintiffs obtained a $3 million judgment in a wrongful death action against McKenzie. McKenzie then assigned Plaintiffs his rights against Mercury, and Plaintiffs brought the present action against Mercury on the basis that it failed to accept their reasonable offer to settle their wrongful death claims. The trial court granted Mercury's motion for summary judgment after determining Plaintiffs never offered to settle their claims. In Julio Palma et al. v. Mercury Insurance Company, B309063, California Court of Appeals, Second District, Third Division (August 23, 2022) the Court of Appeals refused to buy plaintiffs' claims of bad faith. FACTUAL BACKGROUND In September 2012, Frank McKenzie was driving a vehicle that struck and killed Oscar Palma, who was riding a moped. At the time, McKenzie was insured under a Mercury insurance policy with bodily injury liability limits of $15,000 and property damage limits of $10,000. On October 15, 2012, attorney Paul Zuckerman sent Mercury a settlement letter that identified "Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma" as "Our Clients" and states: "Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma, demands that Mercury Insurance tender full policy limits to Oscar Palma (deceased) Estate of Oscar Palma to resolve their claim. The letter stated the offer was to remain open for 14 days, until October 29, 2012. Mercury retained attorney Jeffrey Lim and instructed him to accept the offer. On October 19, 2012, Lim faxed the Carpenter firm a letter stating Mercury "is tendering to the estate and all heirs of Oscar Palma Mr. McKenzie's $15,000 policy limits. Between March and July 2013, Mercury sent the Carpenter firm six letters "reiterat[ing]" its offer of the $15,000 bodily injury policy limits. Plaintiffs' Wrongful Death Action Against McKenzie On August 28, 2013, the Carpenter firm filed a lawsuit against McKenzie on behalf of Plaintiffs, Ana Guzman-Palma, and the "Estate of Oscar F. Palma, a deceased individual." Following a jury trial, the court entered judgment against McKenzie and in favor of Plaintiffs for $3 million on their wrongful death claims. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

A top US general says the United States will help replenish the United Arab Emirates's missile interceptors after a slew of attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting the Gulf country. Frank McKenzie, head of the US Central Command says they will help with the replenishment of interceptors. And we'll do everything we can to assist the UAE in defending themselves. Mckenzie's remarks come after the Pentagon announced deploying a guided-missile destroyer and advanced fighter jets to the UAE in what it called a clear signal of support for Abu Dhabi.

The United States has left Afghanistan, but it is just part of the region that Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie counts as his responsibility.

Yesterday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and the head of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Frank McKenzie, all testified before Congress. They were called up to testify about the withdrawal from Afghanistan and were slated to be questioned about the chaos and failures of the withdrawal. However, Gen. Milley also fielded questions related to several tell-all books about the Trump administration, in which he was often a central character and conceded to being a source for the authors.

The Congressional military hearing revealed what Biden knew and when he knew it…and now his entire blame-shifting narrative is falling apart. In this episode, the FreedomWire team breaks down the revelations that emerged from the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on the Afghanistan disaster. Generals Mark Milley and Frank McKenzie, along with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, all advised Biden to slow down the withdrawal, keep troops in-country, and support the Afghan government against the Taliban. Biden refused to listen to his advisors…making this entire mess his fault and his alone. But with military leadership and Biden's administration fighting to assign blame…will anyone actually face consequences? And if Mark Milley really DID have that phone call with China and the secret meeting in the Pentagon, can we even trust what he has to say?

Another investigation has been ordered by the Department of Defense into a deadly drone strike last month in Kabul which supposedly was targeting an ISIS-K operative but instead killed ten members of an Afghan family including seven children. According to Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie the United States is considering making reparation payments to the family of the victims or getting them evacuated but with the lack of eyes and ears on the ground it is hard to reach them. FOX's John Saucier speaks to FOX's National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin, from the Pentagon, who has the latest reaction from the U.S. Military and Capitol Hill.

President Joe Biden weighed in with a statement later on Monday and thanked the final US forces serving in Afghanistan for executing the "dangerous retrograde from Afghanistan as scheduled," with no further loss of American lives.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
