Secure Freedom Minute

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Since Pete Hegseth was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to become the next Secretary of Defense, he has been the subject of sustained personal attacks and reports that hisprospects for confirmation are uncertain.
My bet is that this honing fire will not only result in his approval by the Senate, but will make him one of our most formidable Pentagon chiefs.
My friend Pete’s critics clearly seek to prevent the kind of restoration of the U.S. military Mr. Trump promised the American people – and got their mandate to accomplish. He believes that this decorated combat veteran is the man to do it – and so do I and a growing number of other national security professionals.
Pete Hegseth’s experiences in uniform, his longtime advocacy for veterans, his faith journey and his highly developed communications skills will serve him – and America – very well.
Let’s roll!

Caroline Glick, Host of The Caroline Glick Show
I discussed with Caroline Glick developments in the Middle East, specifically the overthrow of Bashar Assad's regime in Syria, a tectonic shift that is likely to have reverberations throughout the region, some of them potentially very promising, some of them potentially very dangerous indeed. We discussed what the United States as well as what Israel must do to try to make things come out better instead of worse.
Gordon Chang, Contributor, Gatestone Institute
Gordon Chang and I visited about the implications for China as well as its proxy in the Middle East, Iran, of the takeover of Syria by Sharia supremacists. What is taking place in South Korea has very profound implications for the war; the Chinese Communist Party may be set on launching, possibly in the very near future, there and elsewhere in the Pacific and far beyond.

We face today three strains of totalitarianism. The Chinese Communist Party is using unrestricted warfare and Maoist revolutionary techniques to achieve global hegemony.
World Economic Forum fascists are pursuing sovereignty- crushing “resets” to achieve governance of the entire planet And Sharia-supremacists, whether Sunni or Shiite, demand a universal caliphate. Those who have suddenly seized power in Syria, for example, are making no secret of their determination to destroy Israel and impose Islam world-wide.
While these three groups have obvious differences about their desired end-states, they are working together now to eliminate the only real impediment to their respective ambitions – namely, the United States.
Make no mistake: the CCP’s Communists, the WEF fascists and the Islamists are coming for us. In fact, they are already here in significant numbers and must without delay be identified, deported or otherwise thwarted from taking down America.
This is Frank Gaffney.
 

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer
I discussed with Sam Faddis what has gone on in Korea and what it suggests about the larger enterprises of the Chinese Communist Party as it seeks through strategic arson in places like Ukraine and the Middle East and perhaps now Korea to distract and otherwise dissipate our ability to resist.
Xi Jinping's ambitions to become the world hegemon require, as it would, the elimination of the United States as an impediment to that objective. We also discussed the pardon that Joe Biden gave his son and what it suggests about what may be coming next, including perhaps a pardon for himself.
Dede Laugesen, Executive Director at Save The Persecuted Christians& Nina Shea, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Religious Freedom
Dede Laugesen and I spoke with Nina Shea about the persecution of Christians in communist China and, incredibly, what the Roman Catholic Pope Francis is doing to help that persecution at the profound expense of his own bishops and co-religionists.
He has betrayed them repeatedly and is now actively aiding and abetting what can only be described as an effort to not only diminish the Roman Catholic Church but weaponize it for the purposes and benefit of the Chinese Communist Party.
Robert Charles, Author of "Eagles and Evergreens"
Robert Charles gave a personal insight into what is happening in his native state of Maine in the way of rampant criminality and increasing violence against, among others, the people of Maine at the hands of cartels, drug traffickers, and Chinese nationals. Whether this is what they have in mind for all of us, wherever we may live.
We also talked about his efforts to resume public service as the attorney general of Maine and his hope to bring to that job the kind of corrective action associated with his distinguished service to our country in previous roles.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.Amnesty International is the latest hostile entity to defame Israel’s democratically elected government, its military, and its people, falsely accusing them of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.Interestingly, Amnesty International’s own Israel chapter has dissented from this indictment. And rightly so.To cite just one example: The report ignores the fact that – even if one accepts as accurate the transparently manipulated casualty data generated by Hamas’ so-called “Health Ministry” – the civilian loss of life in Gaza relative to combatants (who shamefully use those civilians as human shields) is the lowest in the history of intense urban warfare.That’s hardly the record of a genocidal government or nation. Amnesty International’s obvious purpose is to encourage the Biden administration to further sanction, delegitimize, and otherwise undermine our most important ally.Most Americans reject that agenda. Ditto President-elect Trump.And he should say so now.This is Frank Gaffney.

Dr. Robert Malone, The inventor of the nine original MRNA vaccine patents,
I discussed with Dr. Robert Malone the travesty that is the mismanagement and dereliction of duty of Tedros Ghebreyesus, the Director General of the World Health Organization, the extent to which he is in fact, a running dog of the Chinese Communist Party that perhaps as many as a million Americans needlessly lost their life as a result of that dereliction of duty at the Chinese behest. And why, on the basis particularly of the damning findings of a new House committee report, there should be no alternative but the resignation forthwith of Tedros Gabrasis and his replacement with a competent individual, not the cat's paw for our mortal enemy, the CCP.
Elliot Chodoff, Political and Military Analyst
I visited with Elliot Chodoff, an Israeli Defense Forces major in the reserves, about the allegations that his comrades in arms and the government of Israel have engaged in genocide as accused by, as they have been accused by, as alleged by the so-called humanitarian organization Amnesty International. It turns out this is a preordained outcome from a rabidly anti-Israel entity and must not be taken as a basis for further undermining Israel by the Biden administration.
Col. John Mills, Senior Fellow, Center for Security Policy
I discussed the crisis on the Korean peninsula that threatens to engulf our South Korean ally, perhaps undermining the bulwark that it represents against both aggression by North Korea and by China, and we explore specifically whether this is all part of Xi Jinping's strategic arson designed to advance his efforts to conduct and win what I call World War G.
