The National Security Hour

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America faces rising debt, inflation, endless military spending, and deep political dysfunction as both parties expand government power and financial instability. Public frustration grows over economic decline, failed foreign interventions, and entrenched politicians who continue enriching themselves while ordinary Americans struggle with declining purchasing power and uncertainty...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Trump went full Truth Social: “locked and loaded,” red lines, moral theatrics. Then the regime allegedly crossed the line with a brutal crackdown, and suddenly the White House is trapped by its own swagger. When you publicly promise to “do something,” you don’t get to be surprised when you’re asked what, exactly, you plan to...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – While the issue has yet to play itself out, Mr. Helegesen said he thought there was room for a compromise based on the fact that Greenland is strategically vital to NATO’s defense planning, and that the United States already has more-or-less unlimited sway in deciding how to ensure its defense arrangements in Greenland, especially...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – For years, Americans were told that climate change—not China, not Russia, not Iran—was the greatest existential threat to U.S. national security. Under the Biden administration, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin declared climate change an existential crisis, redirecting the Pentagon’s focus toward 91 environmental research...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – China isn’t wobbling the way Western chatter claims. In my conversation with veteran factory operator in China, Dan Collins, the signal came through loud and clear: there’s no coup in modern China, and this latest “purge panic” is more likely about power discipline (corruption, war planning, or both) than palace intrigue...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Are dangerous foreign players stepping in to create more volatility inside and outside of Iran? Who are the main players? China? Russia? Domestically, are foreign entities, countries, or individuals propping up and supporting demonstrations in the US? Where does it lead—to what end? Who is sitting at the table of this series of organized chaos?

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – We are living through a revival of great power competition that plays out in places most Americans never imagined. We must put American interests first, strengthen defenses across the hemisphere and the Arctic, and stand with those who risk everything for freedom. That is how we protect the republic our founders entrusted to us...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The political influence operations aimed at conservatives in the United States are not organic. They are global. Steven Kuhn explains how ideological narratives that historically did not resonate in America—terms like “fascist,” “Nazi,” “authoritarian,” and “no kings”—were developed, normalized, and weaponized in Europe, then deliberately...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – According to Andi Buerger J.D., survivor, founder, and Chairman of Voices Against Trafficking, “At a time when real-life heroes or role models can be scarce, ordinary people are making a difference in human rights, not for glory but for good.” Andi, a survivor, shares insights on how to recognize and help victims...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – On Iran, Professor Dorsey noted that Trump’s foreign-policy behavior has been – as it was in Venezuela – on-again (ready for war) and off -again (marking time until war). Professor Dorsey said this is a very dangerous way to treat the Iranian government. That government is fully aware of the force the US can bring to bear on the...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – If we want a safer world, start with real health. Fund sanitation and nutrition. Strengthen oversight, so aid serves people, not contracts. Insist that pathogen sharing is transparent, time-limited, and tied to capacity building. Break the monopoly of secrecy around genetic data. Hold bureaucracies accountable. Return medicine to the bedside and away...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Because Greenland sits on the shortest strategic line between Eurasia and the United States—a corridor now exploited by Sino-Russian increased military coordination, including both undersea mapping operations to destroy vital underseas communications lines, mapping of underseas terrain for adversaries safe submarine navigation into the western...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – America bleeds power not through invasion, but through strategic incompetence. Control of global chokepoints still decides trade, war, and influence, yet Washington turns quiet leverage into public theater. As allies grow uneasy and rivals advance patiently, geography exposes a deeper rot: an empire that outsourced strength, mistreats partners, and mistakes noise for power...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Does the United States need to take control of a country like Greenland to establish a “Golden Dome” to protect the United States? Are our longtime allies moving toward countries that pose a threat to us, such as Canada and Mexico, cozying up to China? How about Iran? How close are they to countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – There is no easy exit from this trap. Iran is not a single narrative. Kurds, Arabs, Turks, Persians, leftists, monarchists, moneyed factions, and armed units all push their own vision. Whoever holds the guns will have a seat at the table. There is no clear, uncontested leader to replace the clerical state. Someone waving an old royal flag will not unify...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – For the United States, according to Professor Dorsey, a military intervention would be a mistake of large proportions. Indeed, it probably would unite the Iranian population against the United States. In terms of politics, culture, and reputation, the United States at the moment possesses almost nothing that Iranians are eager to have at home...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – U.S. actions in Venezuela expose the recurring dangers of interventionism, from regime uncertainty to costly military escalation. The narrative questions war driven by oil, politics, and global norms, arguing that targeting leaders invites disaster. Drawing on intelligence experience, it warns that endless wars drain lives, liberty, and national strength while weakening democratic...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The United States, China, Russia, and Iran don’t operate alone. They rely on alliances, partners, and proxies—working together economically and militarily to project power, deter rivals, and advance strategic interests across the globe. From the Middle East and Eastern Europe to the Indo-Pacific and the Western Hemisphere, Fred Galvin explains how...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Once the wealthiest nation in Latin America, Venezuela has been reduced to authoritarian rule, economic ruin, and criminal governance under Nicolás Maduro. And into that collapse stepped China—buying oil, gold, rare-earth minerals, and political loyalty in exchange for billions in loans that turned a sovereign nation into a CCP client state...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Ethiopia, one of the world’s oldest Christian nations, faces escalating violence targeting believers and sacred institutions. As instability spreads across the Horn of Africa, concerns grow over terrorism, foreign influence, and human rights abuses. Congressional action highlights why Ethiopia’s crisis matters to global security, faith communities, and U.S. strategic interests today...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – U.S. sabers are still rattling, three more U.S. military personnel are dead, and the politicians of the Democratic Party, their RINO allies, and the traitorous federal bureaucracy are still walking free, with no apparent concerns that their well-known crimes will be punished with the severity and perhaps the finality they merit...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Rising media claims predict imminent U.S. conflict with Venezuela as foreign forces, weapons, and alliances reportedly flood the region. Billions keep American troops on standby while Cold War thinking endures. The piece questions interventionism, military readiness, propaganda, and the long-term costs of perpetual war at home and abroad today globally...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Taiwan stands at the center of America’s survival as a nation. I argue from experience that our security, economy, and strategic freedom now depend on a single island producing the chips that power modern defense and industry. Ignoring this reality risks surrendering sovereignty, stability, and moral clarity in an increasingly dangerous world...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – While America faces record narcotics deaths, international criminal networks flooding our borders, Chinese-backed Venezuelan cartels trafficking fentanyl precursors into our hemisphere, and violent crime surging in blue cities — the left has chosen a new enemy: The United States of America’s Secretary of War Pete Hegseth...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – China and Russia quietly reshape the Arctic while the United States remains distracted. As melting ice opens new trade routes and military frontlines, power shifts north. Russia builds infrastructure and influence, China embeds itself strategically, and Washington falls behind. The future of global trade and security is being decided at the top of the world...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Does the Hippocratic Oath still guide modern medicine, or has it been reduced to silence and compliance? Dr. Renata Moon joins The National Security Hour to discuss vaccine safety, professional censorship, and retaliation against physicians who speak out—raising urgent questions about ethics, transparency, and the true meaning of “first do no harm.”

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – President Trump faces growing criticism for cabinet underperformance, stalled law enforcement action, and broken promises on war. Calls intensify for reshaping leadership at the DOJ and FBI while concerns mount over ongoing foreign conflicts and deep state resistance. The America First movement demands accountability, constitutional restraint, and decisive action to restore...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Whether you believe every claim or not, one thing is undeniable: foreign powers are working overtime to undermine U.S. sovereignty. They’re weaponizing our weaknesses—our open internet, our drug addiction, our political divisions—to erode America from the inside. As Pezzullo puts it: “This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about survival...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Underpaid, overworked staffers — the same ones being groomed with free foreign trips, “fellowships,” and quiet job offers. Congress doesn't write the bills. Congress doesn't read the bills. Yet Congress votes on the bills — often without the slightest idea whose fingerprints are on them. This is how you capture a superpower without firing a shot...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Retired generals… former intelligence officers… and sitting members of Congress using carefully coordinated omni-channel messaging to encourage doubt—hesitation—and even defiance among military service members toward the lawful orders of the Commander-in-Chief. This is not dissent. This is not debate. This is organized information warfare...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Trump’s China deal looks like a win, but Beijing quietly tightens control over supply chains and rare earth minerals. Soybean buys and TikTok concessions mask deeper strategic gains for China, while America remains dependent on critical materials. With tariffs high and tensions rising, the U.S. fights to reclaim industrial strength before it’s too late...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – On November 4, 2025, the State Department officially updated its designation for Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" for its alleged severe violations of religious freedom and persecution of Christians. Nina Shea told CNA that “the numbers killed and abducted are staggering and the documentation is now irrefutable.”

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Our school teachers can be found to have failed to train students in their use of commonsense – surely buttressed by the identical failures by so many of their parents -- and have made a travesty of teaching so many kids by using a farcical brand of American history in order to make them the easy prey for the Democratic Party’s campaign to...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – In this investigation, I uncover the forces driving the Christian genocide in Nigeria, exposing the sectarian violence hidden beneath official narratives. I examine the roles of ISIS-linked insurgents, Islamist militias, criminal networks, and foreign influence, including China’s expanding reach. My reporting highlights the stakes for Nigeria’s future and the urgent need for truth amid escalating...
