This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
The selection by Donald Trump of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to bethe Health and Human Services Secretary powerfully reinforcesour next president’s stated determination to reject efforts tocompound the damage done to our people and medical freedomsduring the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the advice of the World Health Organization’s DirectorGeneral Tedros Ghebreyesus, we were told to mask up, lockdown and inject ourselves with experimental gene therapies thatPfizer’s own documents show were known at the time to beineffective and dangerous.
Despite this disastrous record, the WHO and its champions wantto give Tedros more power – including unilaterally to determineand declare public health emergencies, and dictate the requiredresponse.
Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy reject such assaults on oursovereignty and health. And, thanks be to God, they now have apopular mandate to do so.

A.J. Rice Author of "The White Privilege Album: Bringing Racial Harmony to Very Fine Peoples"
I spoke with A.J. Rice about one of the most toxic manifestations of cultural Marxism in the United States, namely the effort to divide us along racial lines and otherwise foster animosity between people of various racial groups. 
Clearly a feature of cultural Marxism, of communist efforts to take down our country, And now, unfortunately, insinuated in a very toxic way in many of our institutions and elite opinion makers and what we must do to try to counteract it.
Dr. Naomi Wolf, Author of “The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer's Crimes Against Humanity” 
I discussed with Dr. Naomi Wolf the findings in a book called The Pfizer Papers, which describes an intensive volunteer-driven review and analysis of Documents Big Pharma's biggest company, Pfizer, produced and reluctantly disclosed, revealing what is, I believe indisputably, the greatest crime against humanity of all time. Namely, what Pfizer did to create, market, and knowingly disseminate a deadly and ineffective gene therapy made mandatory despite the fact that it would kill large numbers of its users.

A laudable hallmark of Donald Trump’s first presidency was “Promises made, promises kept.” With his selection of my friend, Pete Hegseth, to be the next Secretary of Defense, he seems set to deliver on one of his most important pledges in the 2024 campaign. Think of it as “Make America’s Military Great Again.”
While Pete is best known as a popular host on Fox News, he is also a decorated combat veteran and a longtime champion of a strong national security posture and the veterans who have sacrificed so much to protect us. 
He is also the author of, among other terrific books, The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free. It’s a powerful indictment of what has been done, as Barack Obama would say, to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. armed forces. 
The list includes using ideological purges, mandatory vaccinations and political commissars to remove patriots from the ranks and indoctrinate and suppress those who remain for believing the military must be a color-blind, merit-based institution rooted in and defending traditional American values – not intentionally and toxically divisive cultural Marxist norms.
President Trump pledged publicly in the course of the campaign to replace senior officers who went along with this so-called “Woke” agenda. He reportedly will put into place a commission of retired senior officers to review the records of all three- and four-star generals and admirals and recommend the immediate retirement of the many who have, as Pete put it, betrayed the men who keep us free.
At a moment when the world is an extremely dangerous place, there is no more pressing mission – and Trumpian promise to be kept – than restoring our national practice of “peace through strength.” Pete Hegseth is the man our next President has brilliantly selected to lead it and the new Republican Senate can’t get him to work soon enough!

Capt. James Fanell, Former Naval Intelligence Office
In an extensive and informative conversation with Captain James Fanell, one of our country's premier retired naval officers and experts on China, on the Chinese Communist Party, about the threat it poses to us, as well as the hopeful indications that President Donald Trump is both seized with the danger and staffing his administration with people who will help him address it successfully as we urgently need them to do.

Senate Republicans will vote today to select their chamber’s next leader. Who they pick will have a profound effect on whether the mandate Donald Trump received – which, among other things resulted in the election of several new GOP Senators and the flipping of control of the Congress’ upper house – will translate into transformative legislative successes essential to making America great again. 
Unfortunately, two of the three candidates – Senators John Thune of South Dakota and John Cornyn of Texas – are lieutenants of the longtime, outgoing top Republican, Mitch McConnell. Unlike the third contender – Florida Senator Rick Scott who ran against McConnell previously and is closely aligned with President-elect Trump and his agenda – Thune and Cornyn will reliably do the bidding of the virulently anti-Trump McConnell. 
As it happens, McConnell has long been deeply compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. It certainly wants to see Trump fail. And Senators casting secret ballots for his proxies will effectively be voting to put the CCP first, not America. 
This if Frank Gaffney

President-elect Trump has begun putting into place his Cabinet and a common denominator is that the emerging national security team shares his longstanding conviction that the Chinese Communist Party is not a competitor. It is a determined and increasingly dangerous enemy.
While nominees to some key positions remain to be formally announced, Mr. Trump’s choices for Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor, Rep. Mike Waltz, and Secretary of Homeland Security, Gov. Kristi Noem, are on record about the CCP threat.
If complemented by a similarly minded Defense Secretary, Director of National Intelligence and CIA Director, Donald Trump will have the most robust team with regard to the era’s “existential threat to freedom” since Ronald Reagan’s first-term line-up of Judge Bill Clark, Cap Weinberger, Bill Casey and Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
We will doubtless hear shortly about the rest of the national security appointments. I pray - and expect - that those nominees will be of a mind with the President and his selections to date on the peril posed by the Chinese Communist Party.
A position that is often not understood to be a key part of that cohort, however, is the Treasury Secretary. During his first presidency, Mr. Trump was saddled with a Wall Street denizen named Stephen Mnuchin who worked assiduously to protect the Chinese from efforts by other administration officials to curtail the suicidal practice of allowing even CCP-controlled corporations building weapons to kill us to raise funds in our capital markets.
The second Trump presidency – and our nation – require a Secretary of the Treasury who also truly puts America First and is a strong and effective champion of the national security, not of the greed-driven behavior of too many in the financial sector that endangers it.
