Secure Freedom Minute

The UN Security Council is poised to cause real and lasting harm to Israel. Will Team Biden enable that to happen? An impending, binding resolution would impose on Israel an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent cease-fire" in Gaza. It would enable Hamas to survive and, effectively, to win the war it murderously launched on October 7th last year.There's reason to believe the outgoing Biden administration will not veto this diplomatic attack on our ally. As international attorney Anne Bayefsky notes, it's designed to "Trump-proof the failed Biden agenda. Once a Security Council resolution is adopted, the Russians and the Chinese would veto any attempt to revoke it."The American people overwhelmingly support Israel and just gave a mandate to President Trump to do the same. The Biden team must respect democracy, not betray it – and our mostimportant ally.This is Frank Gaffney.

Sarah Parshall Perry, Senior Legal Fellow at Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies
I spoke at length with Sarah Perry about the cultural values in our country, the assault that they are under from Marxists, and the implications that that assault has, not just for the health and viability of our society and our people, of course, but also for the national security.as well. Fascinating conversation, far ranging and very, very illuminating indeed.

In two weeks, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about a Tennessee law that protects children in that state from the physical mutilation and psychological trauma associated with so-called “gender-affirming care.” 
To its eternal shame, the Biden administration has sided with parents who support such child abuse.
Providentially, however, one of America’s most courageous frontline doctors, Simone Gold, has just released a powerful documentary called “What is a Doctor?” It searingly exposes the truth about the medical practitioners, hospitals and pharmaceutical industry that are profiting off of the lifetimes of health complications and suffering to which they are condemning purported “trans” kids who are incapable of providing informed consent. 
Simone’s film can be viewed for free on X, formerly known as Twitter, @frontlinefilmsu. I have seen it and urge every American – and Supreme Court justice – to do the same.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Co-Host of The Shoulder to Shoulder Podcast 
I spoke with Rabbi Pesach Wolicki about the Biden administration's decision to cut Israel off from resupplying war material if they were not satisfied that Israel was providing enough way of humanitarian assistance to Gaza. 

The professed commitment of the Biden-Harris administration to “democracy” always rang hollow. Notably, the total votes garnered by the Harris-Walz ticket roughly equaling the Democrats’ tallies in all recent presidential elections except for 2020’s suggests Biden’s victory that year was stolen, not free and fair.
Now, after Donald Trump’s recent popular vote and electoral college landslide, an administration genuinely attached to democratic rule would respect the repudiation of its policies at the polls. Instead, Team Biden is doubling down, notably with respect to two of its soundly rejected priorities.
First, it’s escalating the Ukraine-Russia war Donald Trump promised to end – inviting Vladimir Putin’s nuclear retaliation. And second, it’s further undermining Israel at the UN, a policy the incoming administration and the American people properly reject. 
Congress must insist the Bidenistas stand down, out of respect for democracy and our national security.

Gordon Chang, Contributor, Gatestone Institute
I had a fascinating conversation with Gordon Chang about the relative quiet that is now in evidence after the election of Donald Trump in the Western Pacific, whether it is likely to persist, whether it suggests that the Chinese leadership is so beset by problems at home that it is unwilling to risk conflict with the United States, especially under the leadership of someone like Donald Trump, and the importance of ending our practice of enabling the Chinese Communist Party with technology and resources and other help including to the People's Liberation Army emanating from our country.
Robert Joseph, Senior Scholar at the National Institute for Public Policy
I spoke with Robert Joseph about the threats that we face in the nuclear arena and what it will take to deter such threats from being actualized by any of several hostile powers that are feverishly building up their own nuclear forces for the purposes; it seems quite clear, of attacking our friends, our interests, and possibly our own people. 
We also discussed the extent to which we need to modernize our nuclear weapons, as well as augment deterrence with effective space-based missile defenses.
