Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

Shaun Waterman, Andy McCarthy, Rep. Mike Coffman, Gordon Chang

Has traditional warfare that countries have been waging for thousands of years become obsolete in the face of the internet revolution? Instead of machine guns, combat vehicles, and enemy troops, our greatest threat now comes from malicious software designed to infiltrate our economic and defense networks. Shaun Waterman, an award-winning reporter for the Washington Times, joins Frank to discuss how these advance persistent threats, or malware, are being implemented by foreign intelligence services to steal valuable weapons systems from the US Department of Defense. Then, Secure Freedom Radio’s regular guest, Andy McCarthy shares with Frank his misgivings about the impact that Sharia apologists will have on the security of the United States. He also educates us on the severe consequences of the early release of top Muslim Brotherhood operative, Abdurahman Alamoudi. Although the military is considered one of the most respected institutions in today’s War on Terror, many troops are facing low moral due to the current budget cuts initiative forcing the best of the best out of our military. Congressman Mike Coffman of Colorado’s 6th district, a former combatant in Operation Desert Storm, examines these issues and the other challenges the troops are facing due to the economic downturn. In the last segment, Gordon Chang talks to Frank about the recent visit by the Dalia Lama to the White House and the lack of true religious freedom in Communist China. Additionally, he discusses his fears of what an “All Weather Friendship” between China and Pakistan will mean for the United States.

Ilan Berman, Representative Buck McKeon, Gordon Chang

The Obama administration recently released their new approach to terrorism, which Ilan Berman calls the administration taking a “victory lap.” Frank converses with Ilan Berman about this new “accommodation strategy” and what it means for organized and radical Islamic groups. Frank then visits with Congressman Buck McKeon to talk about Afghanistan and the defense budget. He also gets the Congressman’s take on Panetta’s recent speech from Iraq. For over 200 years, the United States has maintained a firm stance on the right of every country to have freedom of navigation in international waters. Thus, Gordon Chang urges the United States to stick to this stance and publically condemn the military actions of the Chinese in the South China Sea. Additionally, says Chang, the United States needs to stand with the democracies of the world like India, instead of supporting state-sponsors of terror such as Pakistan.

Maj. Jeff Struecker, Gordon Chang, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Andy McCarthy

The U.S. will launch its final space shuttle mission on Fri., July 8, and Maj. Jeff Struecker, retired U.S. Army and 1996 recipient of the Best Ranger Competition, asserts that our national security will be undermined as a result, as much of the technology we rely on, such as Google Earth and GPS, was obtained through space exploration. Struecker, author of the novel Fallen Angel, a space-based intelligence story, joins Frank to discuss space as the final frontier for where we fight our battles. “Everyday we’re losing ground to other countries,” he says as a consequence of ending the shuttle program. Next, Gordon Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, describes how that collapse could be hastened by the unraveling of Communist control. Chang explains how China’s claims for stability reveal the opposite, as a financial boom led by foreign business has also brought foreign ideas, leading to rising dissent within the country, and the Party’s clambering to maintain control. Then, Rep. Louie Gohmert, of the first district of Texas, discusses the Obama Administration’s decision to reach out to the Muslim Brotherhood in a continued policy of what he terms, “embracing our enemies and slapping our friends across the face.” “The history one day will be written and this will be described as the way you go about losing a country,” says Gohmert on our current foreign policy and the aligning with a group that supports terrorism and a global caliphate. Finally, Andy McCarthy, of National Review, provides his weekly insight, discussing Iran’s so-called Counter Terrorism Conference that concluded America and Israel lie at the center of terrorism problems in the world. More alarming still was that allies Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan were in attendance. McCarthy also defines what he calls the “Incoherent Wing” of the Republican Party after Presidential Candidate Tim Pawlenty declared Iran on the verge of isolation; merely two days after 60 countries converged there to denounce the U.S.

Ambassador Yoram Ettinger, Christopher Ford, Rep. John Shimkus, Gordon Chang

Since the revelation of the “The China Dream” proved to mean China’s rise and America’s fall from the number one global superpower, a growing militarization has become prevalent in the Communist nation.
