Securing America with Frank Gaffney | Apr 28, 2025

Dede Laugesen, Executive Director at Save The Persecuted Christians
& Nadine Menza, President, The IRF Secretariat

Dede Laugesen and I spoke with Nadine Menza, a wonderful freedom fighter, about the challenges to religious freedom, particularly for Christians, including in two countries she recently visited. Iraq, where Iranian militias are now intensifying pressure on Christians to leave their towns and cities, as well as what Christians in Syria are doing with allies to ensure religious freedom is not simply tolerated but allowed to flourish.

I visited with Rod D. Martin about China, about Donald Trump’s efforts to reset a very dysfunctional and indeed dangerous relationship with the Chinese Communist Party, as well as how it’s going on trade, investment, demography, and much more. We also talked about the border crisis that was inherited from Joe Biden and the resulting influx of conservatively 10 million illegal immigrants. And the reason for it, in terms of a Democrat agenda, of fundamentally transforming America and what the Trump administration needs to do about that and the dangers of judicial supremacism, preventing what needs to be done from getting done.
