Securing America with Frank Gaffney Podcast

With KT McFarland

KT MCFARLAND, former Deputy National Security Advisor for President Trump, author, "Revolution: Trump, Washington and 'We The People,'" Twitter: @realKTMcFarland

Part I: 

• KT McFarland found that the Mueller Investigation tried to use perjury traps to incriminate herself and/or President Trump
• Dissenters within the Trump White House tried to sabotage the President's administration from within

• Is "managed decline" the policy of the US government once again?

Part III: 

• Previous generations of policy experts believed that in order to achieve "peace in the middle east," the Israeli-Palestinian conflict had to be settled first - Jared Kushner changed the way Washington approached this issue
• Arab countries looked to Iran as the greatest threat in the region
• President Trump gave the Biden administration a "golden ticket" towards policy in the Middle East and along America's southern border

Part IV: 

• Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter - his administration will fail in the near future as gas prices increase and more troops are sent to the Middle East
• "Down ballot" favoritism for other Republican candidates evoking President Trump's policies illuminates the GOP's prospects in 2022
