Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

Gen. William Boykin, Amb. Henry Cooper

Frank speaks with Lieutenant General William Boykin, who talks about his new book entitled Danger Close, a novel dedicated to those in the intelligence community combating terrorism.  Later, General Boykin opens up about his sentiments regarding several pertinent issues facing the country, ranging from the Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan to Islamic terrorism.  Ambassador Henry Cooper shares his expertise on nuclear issues and weighs in on how the recently signed New START Treaty is the Obama administration’s first step in achieving an agenda that limits our nuclear weapons capabilities—a dangerous and inadvisable path for national security.  Finally, Frank opens up about what he perceives as the decimation of our armed forces, and how such a reduction by the current administration is endangering the American people.

James Carafano, Claudia Rosett, Gordon Chang

On today’s program, Frank is joined by James Carafano from the Heritage Foundation. Jim and Frank will be discussing breaking news on al-Qaeda’s operations in the US, as it has been learned that Najibullah Zazi has confessed to collaborating with al-Qaeda in his efforts to destroy parts of New York City. Later, Frank is joined by Claudia Rosett, an investigative reporter from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy and expert on the UN. They will attempt to peal back the mask covering the idea than any real sanctions from the UN will in anyway affect Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Frank will then be joined by Gordon Chang who will discuss the recent warning from Communist China that American Aircraft carriers had better not go into the Yellow Sea. They will discuss what this mean, and whether or not it will create a, “Keep Out” Zone in the Western Pacific that affects our security and that of our allies in the region. Finally, Frank touches on the latest from the G20 Summit.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra, Ken Timmerman, Jim Hanson

Congressman Pete Hoekstra (R-MI), the Ranking Republican on the House Select Committee on Intelligence, joins Frank to give his take on the Russian Spy Ring that was recently broken up and what this means for our, “reset” relations with Russia. The Congressman also offers his views on space policy, arms control, the situation in Afghanistan, and much more. Later, Newmax’s investigative reporter Ken Timmerman joins Frank to discuss the behind-the-scenes lobbying activity in taking place in Washington. Lobbyists are out in full force promoting the damage to US/Israeli relations that resulted from the deadly Flotilla incident just a few weeks ago. Ken also discloses what he has uncovered about BP’s role and relationship with Iran and its implications. Finally, Jim Hanson will discuss Mexico and the recent assassination of the gubernatorial candidate just days before the election and what it means for our border security. Jim also weighs in on Afghanistan and discusses the war’s Rules of Engagement and the need for a civilian house cleaning to match the fresh military command overhaul.
