The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – This is no longer just a war; it is war and diplomacy happening simultaneously. U.S. and Israeli forces continue sustained strike operations… Iran continues to threaten global shipping lanes and regional targets… And yet—through intermediaries—both sides are actively communicating. But make no mistake, these are not...

Peace Through Strength, America’s Navy with LCDR Steve Rogers USN (Ret) – Iran maintains the perception that, following the Vietnam War, Americans lack the determination to endure such conflicts. The IRGC underestimated the strength, determination, and endurance of the U.S. Navy and other American forces in the region to ensure Iran's leadership is defeated...

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Trump’s whole brand is “America First,” which means not risking American lives in another nation-building disaster when the mission can be achieved from afar, as it was in Venezuela. To most, a ground war might play into Iran’s hands. Iran is prepared for that kind of fight and would turn it into a long, bloody conflict with high U.S. casualties. Iranians don’t care about...

The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Iran approached this conflict with a clear understanding of its strengths and limitations. Its strategy demonstrates discipline and patience. Instead of seeking quick battlefield dominance, Iran employs cumulative pressure. Each exchange raises costs for its enemies. Each escalation requires more resource commitments. Over time, this pressure builds...

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Tensions rise as Donald Trump signals a hardline stance against Iran, promising decisive military action while questioning Tehran’s willingness to negotiate. With nuclear concerns and past deception looming, uncertainty grows over whether diplomacy can succeed or if escalation becomes inevitable in this high-stakes geopolitical standoff...

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – The shutdown threatens lives and shows a party putting politics above public servants. When workers who screen travelers or keep borders safe go unpaid, we see broken priorities. The conflict in the Middle East reminds us how fragile stability can be. Mines and drones can choke global commerce. But we will not rebuild nations by remote...

The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – The US and Israel have also been utilizing cognitive warfare campaigns against Iran by virtue of their persistent bombing campaigns and the continuing targeting of the various “layers” of theocratic leaders. Moreover, Israel has used very creative “deception as a force multiplier,” such as launching strikes from within Iranian territory using...

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – The Iranians claim they have chased multiple U.S. aircraft carriers from their waters or waters nearby. The United States continues to say that the war is going well and will soon be wrapping up. None of this comes close to being conclusive, although the films-from-the-fronts that are available seem to show that Israel is at long last taking it...

Trevor Loudon Reports – Retreat would represent a strategic defeat, encouraging jihadists worldwide who would see divine favor in the mullahs' survival, while weakening pressure on Russia and China. It could embolden further moves against Taiwan, Alaska, or Latin America, with drones potentially reaching U.S. soil from places like Cuba. Nyquist stressed that America must win to protect freedom...

Cutting Through the Chaos with Wallace Garneau – I argue that war can become necessary when threats are credible, time favors the adversary, diplomacy fails, and strategic opportunity emerges. I examine Iran’s nuclear ambitions, regional behavior, and vulnerabilities, urging a clear-eyed assessment of deterrence, power, and timing in confronting escalating risks before they become far more dangerous...

Informed Dissent with Dr. Jeff Barke and Dr. Mark McDonald – Jeff and Mark interview Lt. Col. Dave Grossman on the psychological cost of killing, the realities faced by military and law enforcement, and strategies to prevent school shootings. He also warns about the risks of cell phones in schools and their impact on safety, behavior, and emergency response systems...

The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Like the British, the Crusaders, the Romans, the Hellenic, the Egyptians, the Persians, the Assyrians, the Parthians, the Mongols, the Armies of Mohammad, and countless more, the Americans are fighting the Persians for control of the Pivot Area. But what Mackinder did not factor in was the effect that a deeply interconnected global trade dependence upon...

The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The Strait of Hormuz—where nearly one-fifth of the world’s oil flows—is now under threat. Shipping has slowed, tensions are rising, and the consequences could hit every American household through energy prices, supply chains, and inflation. This is no longer just a regional conflict—it’s a global economic pressure point...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – When that artery is threatened, markets do not debate policy frameworks or ESG targets. They react instantly, violently, and rationally. Prices move. Risk premiums surge. Governments scramble. Because the system understands something policymakers have tried to wish away: There is no replacement infrastructure capable of absorbing that shock...
