Is this a war, or a reminder to US and Israel that hubris kills?
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...
Retreat from Iran means opening the door to World War
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...
When deterrence fails: A hard look at Iran
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...
The psychology of killing and its hidden costs
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 cascading effects of the Iranian war
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...
Iran war update: Operations, casualties, Hormuz, and the information battlefield
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...
Net Zero dies in the Strait of Hormuz
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...
The end of this Middle East story is clear
Peace Through Strength, America’s Navy with LCDR Steve Rogers USN (Ret) – I present a clear-eyed assessment of escalating tensions with Iran, detailing recent operations, naval dominance, and heavy losses inflicted on Iranian forces. I emphasize U.S. naval superiority, reinforce deterrence, and express unwavering support for American service members deployed in hostile waters as I highlight stakes for our nation and allies...
Israel pushed US to war in Iraq for cheap oil. Are they doing it again in Iran?
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Former oil official Gary Vogler recounts how energy interests shaped the Iraq War and suggests similar forces influence tensions with Iran. His account highlights Israel’s energy vulnerabilities, pipeline politics, and the strategic role of oil, revealing how conflicts in the Middle East revolve around resource security rather than public justifications...
The ever-twisting challenges of the US-Israeli war on Iran
The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – Since our withdrawal from the “agreement,” Iran had enriched their uranium to 60% (exceeding 400Kg) by April 2021, installed and used advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium, and ceased complying with the “additional protocol” providing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) greater access for monitoring its facilities...
After the missiles stop!?
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Winning the war can be straightforward. Winning the peace is brutally hard. Saying the objective is to remove Iran’s missile and nuclear threat is easy to understand. Saying the objective is to change a regime and remake a society is not. You do not liberate ninety million people by paratrooping into Tehran. You set conditions so Iranian citizens can make...
Joe Kent on strategic collapse and America’s drift to war
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – We are sliding toward a war the United States did not need and cannot afford. A small circle of hawks sold a narrative that Iran posed an imminent existential threat. That claim never stood up to basic scrutiny. Key policymakers ignored dissenting intelligence. They bought a timeline set by outside actors and then wondered why events raced...
How the US media ignores the constitutional powers of the US presidency
The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Presidential use of federal troops domestically is rare and typically reserved for extreme circumstances where state and local authorities are overwhelmed or unable to enforce federal law or maintain order. The Insurrection Act is the primary legal tool that allows presidents to deploy federal military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes, bypassing the...
When the US media attacks the US military via biased reporting and fabricated stories
Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Sometime ago, a missile strike in Iran resulted in the destruction of a girls’ elementary school, which caused over a hundred fatalities. Although the investigation is ongoing, the media and others were quick to blame the United States for this tragic incident. They blame the U.S. because a wave of U.S. and Israeli air strikes in an area close to...
Joe Kent says Israel is behind America’s attacks on Iran
After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Joe Kent resigns over U.S. involvement in Iran, arguing the conflict lacks justification and is driven by external influence, including Israel. His departure exposes divisions within Trump’s circle on foreign policy, as debates intensify over military intervention, national security priorities, and America’s role in escalating tensions in the Middle East...
Middle East update: War, oil, and the fight for the narrative
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – The growing homeland risk environment — where adversaries exploit chaos across multiple domains: cyber attacks, infrastructure disruption, ideological incitement, and opportunistic violence. Not every incident is directly tied to Iran, but the threat environment has clearly intensified and demands vigilance...
Iran’s propaganda campaign against America
Peace Through Strength, America’s Navy with LCDR Steve Rogers USN (Ret) – Many media outlets often claim that negative coverage of America's war actions is simply part of their responsibility to report the news. However, they fail to do so in a fair and impartial manner. It seems as if they underestimate our ability to recognize their bias, and sometimes even their political motives...
What will victory look like when we leave Iran
After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Debate grows over what victory in Iran truly means as U.S. military action unfolds. Supporters argue for a swift, decisive outcome without ground troops, while critics warn of escalation and long-term risks.

Iran targets Gulf states as tensions escalate
Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Iran escalates tensions by targeting Gulf oil infrastructure as US and Israeli forces strike key military assets. Retired Lt. Col. Darin Gaub analyzes the strategy, regional restraint, and potential next moves, including the importance of Kharg Island and the risk of a broader conflict unfolding across the Middle East...
Is another interventionist war being lost amidst an urgent to-do list?
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – America is again involved in what surely looks like another ride down the highway of failed interventionist wars, this one again being waged on Israel’s behalf against Iran or one of its many enemies. The depth of the clear and cynical lock that Israel and rich Jewish-Americans have on U.S. policy in the Middle East can be seen in the...
America at war: What it means for US security, economy, and homeland
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – What does “America at war” actually mean — not just on the battlefield, but for Americans at home? Iran’s strategy has long relied on missiles, drones, proxy militias, cyber operations, and attacks on global shipping routes. Even after suffering significant military losses, Tehran still retains the capability to strike through asymmetric warfare...
The case for striking Iran and the rise of antisemitism
Informed Dissent with Dr. Jeff Barke and Dr. Mark McDonald – Jeff and Mark discuss Mark’s recent article supporting and explaining the justification for President Trump’s decision to strike Iran’s military and government infrastructure. The article drew both support and criticism, including a shocking number of anti-Semitic attacks directed at Mark. Jeff and Mark explore the...

Naimi, the Founder of Cyrus Force, focused on bringing freedom to Iran.

Who really started the Iran War?
Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Despite negative media reports, most Americans understand the reasons for this conflict. These heroes' sacrifices were meaningful. May they rest in peace. As mentioned before, it's shocking and appalling to see reports of American leaders questioning our intentions and military actions during wartime. What's even more troubling...
If federalism does not work in Iraq, why do we think it can work in Iran?
The National Security Hour with LTC Sargis Sangari – Drones change the math of conflict. A weapon worth tens of thousands can force defenses that cost far more. Criminal cartels and state actors exploit that gap. Countermeasures are emerging, from directed energy to electronic measures. Those tools must be fielded at scale and priced for use, not hoarded as luxury tech. There is no simple path to...
How courage in faith calls for action beyond the pulpit
Last Hope of a Dying Republic with Rev. William Cook – Klingenschmitt describes an incident during his service as a Navy chaplain: A U.S. Navy policy required non-sectarian public prayers, restricting chaplains from using explicitly Christian language during certain public events. Klingenschmitt publicly prayed “in Jesus’ name” in protest of the policy. He faced disciplinary action and requested a court-martial...
The true story of how New Hampshire joined the fight for independence
The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – In 1776, New Hampshire stands at a crossroads. After its Royal Governor flees and tensions with Britain intensify, local leaders debate loyalty, reconciliation, and independence. Delegates work to persuade their constituents that breaking from Britain may be the only path forward in the growing struggle for American liberty...
The Samson threshold meets the energy century
Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Rising tensions between Iran and Israel expose a deeper geopolitical fault line linking nuclear deterrence, global energy flows, and the explosive electricity demands of artificial intelligence. As data centers reshape power consumption and the Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint, great power competition and energy stability collide in dangerous ways...
Cognitive Combat! The information war for the American mind
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – America and the West are facing a sustained information warfare campaign designed to demoralize populations, divide societies, and destabilize governments without ever firing a shot. From classrooms and corporate training programs… to media, social media algorithms, and entertainment, narratives are seeded, amplified, and repeated until...
US Navy sinks entire Iranian naval fleet. IRGC running out of options
Peace Through Strength, America’s Navy with LCDR Steve Rogers USN (Ret) – You would think some of the Iranian military leaders would wise up and surrender now. But we are dealing with lunatics running the Iranian government, who have no respect for human life, liberty, and freedom. I don’t want to believe that all of the Iranian military leaders are lunatics. I want to believe that some...
The triumph and legacy of Donald J. Trump’s second presidency
The Tenpenny Files – Casey Fleming reveals how modern conflict unfolds through economic pressure, digital influence, and cultural division rather than traditional warfare. As Donald J. Trump’s second presidency reshapes the political landscape, this conversation explores unrestricted warfare, foreign influence, and the growing challenge citizens face in recognizing threats operating quietly inside a free society...
How will health supply chains hold up in the Strait of Hormuz? Q&A 188
America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Peter McCullough and Malcolm Out Loud – Is there a level of antibodies in which a person can be reassured that spike is gone, the mRNA is gone and potentially, the risks of myocarditis and cancer? How safe am I dating vaccinated men? Would I pick up spike proteins or other toxins that are jab-related via kissing, sexual activities, etc?
The Iran War is exposing the cracks in America’s Middle East strategy
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – My fear is that this war ends not with order restored, but with America strategically diminished. U.S. bases may become untenable. Arab partners may decide that hosting American power is simply too dangerous. And Washington, after spending blood and treasure yet again, may discover that its position in the Middle East has weakened rather than...
The link between cartel narcoterrorism and Iran’s regime
The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – Transnational drug cartels intersect with global geopolitics as narcotics profits help finance Iranian proxy networks and terror operations. Growing cooperation between Latin American nations and the United States aims to dismantle cartel power, exposing deep connections between organized crime, terrorism, and international security threats shaping the Western Hemisphere...
The Iran War: All roads lead to the CCP
Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Israel and US sources have also confirmed that Iran is producing domestic missiles with chemical and biological warheads. And we know that especially when we talk about biological things, biological weapons, we know who's behind Iran because I really don't think Iran has this virologist or the microbiologist and labs, P3, P4 to produce these...
Starmer’s shame, Trump’s triumph, and Iran’s cry for freedom
Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – The conversation shifts to the human stakes inside Iran with Iranian-American human rights activist Gazelle Sharmad, spokesperson for the Kingdom Assembly of Iran.

Another War? – LCDR Steve Rogers #1
Project Out Loud – Do not mistake shock for opposition. The majority of Americans stand with strength when they see the truth. People in many countries who were once silent are now filling streets chanting, long live freedom. The world can see a contrast between societies that celebrate life and those that celebrate death. That contrast is driving a global realignment that few...
Operation Epic Fury: The liberation & restoration for the return of Persia
Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Susan Price – The everyday person, especially our youth, has no knowledge of the historical-political thuggery that gives new meaning to the terms piracy, treason, and "follow the money." The bottom line is, President Trump is liberating the good people of Iran and other foreign nations from their evil war-mongering-tyrants...

The cruel revenge of the cult of World War II is now on stage
The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Indeed, the close relationship between American leaders and Israel contributes nothing to American security. That relationship does nothing but undermine U.S. security at every turn, from Israel publicly paying all but one member of the U.S. Congress to do its bidding, thereby controlling it, to conducting espionage against the American military...
EU talks solidarity but offers no military support
Rogers for America with Lt. Steve Rogers – Many of the European nations distanced themselves from the United States when this operation commenced. Most notably, the United Kingdom, then France. You know, the nations where American blood was spilled on their real estate to stop the Nazi’s from slaughtering them. The EU is offering nothing to help us in this war...
The American tradition of sacrifice in a just cause
The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – In every generation, America has been blessed with individuals willing to answer the call of duty. They are the quiet guardians of our way of life, the living proof that courage still exists in a world too often defined by fear and violence. As we reflect on their service, we should also reflect on our own obligations—to respect the law, to support those who...
Did Trump have the legal authority to initiate this military engagement?
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Some claim this is war, others just another military attack. While I’m not here to debate the moral aspects of this action, the constitutional issues are up for grabs here. Did Donald Trump, as President of the United States, have the legal authority to initiate this military engagement? Are we prepared, both in the...
How soon our leaders forget Iran’s terror
Peace Through Strength, America’s Navy with LCDR Steve Rogers USN (Ret) – When President Trump assumed office, he commissioned a review of the United States' policy towards Iran because Iran continued to finance terrorist organizations worldwide and destabilize the Middle East, mostly through the aggressive actions of the Iranian Navy. Let us look at some facts forgotten by many of...
Iran is not the final exam! The real test is CCP’s unrestricted warfare
The National Security Hour with Major Fred Galvin – Just last week, we discussed the high probability of a massive joint American and Israeli air, naval, and cyber strike on Iran’s military infrastructure. Then it happened. That’s not prediction theater — that’s pattern recognition. But here’s the reality: Iran is not the final exam. The real test facing the US is the CCP...
American F-15 pilots shot down in Kuwait. How civilians helped downed US pilots
The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Three jets fell from the sky. What rose in their place was something far more powerful—a reminder that America’s presence in the world is not defined solely by critics or cable news narratives. Sometimes, it’s defined by strangers running toward danger, extending a hand, and saying, “You are safe.”
Is taking out Iran America First or just another conflict?
After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Tensions rise after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran spark debate across America. Supporters argue decisive action protects national security and halts nuclear ambitions, while critics warn of another prolonged Middle East conflict. Republicans and voters alike now wrestle with a fundamental question: does this confrontation truly serve an America First agenda?

Trump’s “two weeks” war is about to break America
The National Security Hour with Brandon Weichert – Iran knows something else, too: they don’t have to “win.” They just have to outlast us. They can wait, harass, bleed, and spike energy prices until American politics does the rest. And yes, squeezing Gulf infrastructure or shipping lanes isn’t just military leverage —it’s electoral leverage. You don’t have to topple Trump. You just have to make his...
