The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – America’s escalating conflict with Iran raises concerns about military families, national security, and economic stability. Washington’s shifting explanations fuel distrust as rising costs and vulnerable defenses expose the risks of intervention. Urgent calls for honesty, restraint, and withdrawal put American interests and constitutional principles first...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – BQ recalls the terror and chaos near the Pentagon on September 11 as she races toward her radio studio. Ian Trottier joins her to question John Brennan’s counterterrorism record, examine intelligence failures, and discuss public trust in those responsible for protecting America’s national security today...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America’s ruling class faces growing anger over corruption, broken promises, and endless war. As distrust spreads across elections, media, and government, Americans demand more than partisan slogans. Restoring the republic requires honest leadership, meaningful consequences, and accountability for those who place power above public service...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Sanctions against Russia and Iran only work when governments and businesses enforce them consistently. Shadow fleets, hidden ownership, false documents, and artificial intelligence complicate compliance, while banks, shippers, nonprofits, and smaller firms face growing pressure to trace counterparties, money, vessels, and cargo before completing transactions...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Their objective is not simply to make Americans support China. Chinese Officers in the People’s Liberation Army, Wang Xiangsui and Qiao Liang, wrote this doctrine in their book Unrestricted Warfare, and they are now implementing it by dividing Americans into competing tribes, destroying trust, amplifying grievances, and convincing us that...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – The resignation of Dan Driscoll is not some minor personnel story. It is a warning flare. A senior official who questioned the rush into conflict with Iran, who pushed for streamlining the Army and giving soldiers the right to repair what they use, was pushed aside. That tells you plenty about who holds power and who gets punished for telling the...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – The US has shown that it can clear mines, protect commercial traffic, and strike launch sites before missiles reach the water. That is not theater. It is deterrence. It is also a reminder that economic warfare can be as decisive as airstrikes. When financial channels are cut, when banks, insurers, shippers, and front companies are all put on...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The H1B system, along with student visa work schemes such as CPT and OPT, has become a pipeline for corporate labor arbitrage. Employers do not merely recruit from abroad. They often build a workforce on wages lower than what Americans would accept, then lock in that advantage through regulations written by bureaucrats and sold by...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – And now comes the economic hammer: tariffs against countries that continue qualifying trade with Iran. Can Iran survive military destruction, collapsing oil revenues, secondary sanctions, financial isolation, and pressure on every nation still keeping its economy alive? Join Fred Galvin on The National Security Hour as we...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – The American public was never given the full picture. Official language softened the enemy. Bureaucracies preferred vague terms to hard truths. That made the country slower to understand the threat and easier to manipulate. When governments hide the nature of an adversary, they also weaken the public will needed to confront it...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey – At home, the costs are already visible. Inflation is real, even when statistics try to dress it up. Debt is ballooning. The defense establishment keeps feeding on itself while promising security it can no longer deliver. The result is a nation that talks like an empire and behaves like a creditor with a collapsing balance sheet...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Sophisticated scammers exploit fear, urgency, official-looking messages, and false authority to manipulate victims into costly mistakes. From impersonation fraud to institutional corruption, vigilance becomes essential as citizens verify claims, preserve evidence, question pressure tactics, and protect themselves and others from calculated deception and intimidation schemes...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America’s war with Iran exposes deep concerns about U.S. foreign policy, the alliance with Israel, national sovereignty, military priorities, and free speech. The argument calls for an America First approach that rejects unnecessary wars, restores independence, and reassesses Washington’s commitments across the Middle East region...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Beijing understands the stakes perfectly. South Korea is not just a peninsula. It is a hinge. If China can pull Seoul away from Washington, Japan is exposed, Taiwan is more vulnerable, and the broader Pacific balance tilts. That is why economic pressure, political dfinfluence, and information warfare all converge on Seoul...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – “Accountability isn't misdirection. Changing the standard of accountability depending upon who holds power may be.” Don't just watch where the spotlight is pointed. Look at what remains in the dark. The National Security Hour with Fred Galvin. Follow the numbers. Follow the money. Follow the facts...

The National Security Hour with Jack Maxey and Col. Mike –A serious country would put its citizens first. It would secure the border, fix the vote, end the subsidy for foreign fraud, and stop feeding endless wars. It would say plainly that American sovereignty is not negotiable. That kind of honesty would be disruptive. It would also be the first real act of leadership in years...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America’s constitutional safeguards face mounting danger as presidents increasingly assume war-making powers reserved for Congress. The conflict with Iran highlights the consequences of unchecked executive authority, prolonged military intervention, national debt, and public complacency while the Founders’ warnings about presidential power become increasingly...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Too many are still fighting wars that never ended. Some are homeless. Some are isolated. Some are carrying moral injury, a wound that no medal can erase. Some are simply exhausted by the distance between what they need and what institutions can provide. What stands out is not charity alone, but urgency...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate university conduct policies? Liz Magill of Penn called the issue “context-dependent,” Claudine Gay of Harvard said it depended on context, and MIT President Sally Kornbluth said it would violate policy if directed at individuals; Columbia President Minouche Shafik later took a more...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Trump and the Republicans appear to be headed toward the adoption of Keynesian, if not socialist, economic policies. The Republican Congress and Trump seem perfectly in step with Keynes' disastrous recipe for economic improvement: “spend, spend, spend.” On the socialist side, Trump is very active in buying equity in...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – There is a deeper point here. Wars like this do not make America stronger. They make Washington poorer, more arrogant, and more dependent on the very foreign interests that steer us into trouble. Each new round of sanctions, each new threat, each new promise to do more only tightens the trap. Meanwhile, the country at home frays...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike – The uncomfortable truth is that Iran has improved its position. If shipping lanes are managed through territorial waters, if fees are imposed, if Washington’s naval pressure must be eased before any opening takes effect, then the bargaining table has already moved toward Tehran. That is not rhetoric. It is leverage. Washington still behaves as...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Budde shares his experiences flying the legendary UH-1N Huey, deploying throughout the Pacific and Central Command regions, and serving in combat in Iraq. He also recounts his demanding role as a Forward Air Controller with a Marine Maritime Special Purpose Force, coordinating aviation support where precision, judgment, and split...

The National Security Hour with Blanquita Cullum – Levine says AI’S new battleground is not technology; it is trust. How does one get to the truth through AI? How are we not manipulated or led astray through convincing presentations, videos, and redefined history? “In artificial intelligence, your reputation is developing at the same speed as your technology, according to Michael Levine...
