SA602-With George Rasley Scott Powell Kenneth Abramowitz - Securing America
Frank Gaffney opens the show by welcoming George Raisley, the managing editor of Conservative HQ, to dissect Governor Ron DeSantis’ aggressive campaign against groups he labels as threats to America. Raisley explains how DeSantis used an executive order—later blocked by a federal judge—to label the Muslim Brotherhood, CARE, Antifa and roughly 90 other organizations as terrorist entities. When the order was halted, the governor’s allies crafted House Bill 1471, a statute that satisfies First‑Amendment challenges and empowers the Florida cabinet to cement the designations. Gaffney and Raisley argue the move targets groups they say are intent on overthrowing the Constitution, comparing CARE’s civil‑rights claims to the Klan’s historic self‑identification. They stress that designated groups lose access to state facilities, funding and campus venues, and hint that future litigation could even shutter mosques or offices.The conversation shifts to the political imperative of the midterms. Gaffney urges listeners to flood the Tea Party Patriots and Turning Point USA GOTV lists, activate churches, and become “election influencers” to prevent a Democratic takeover that, in their view, would empower Islamist, socialist and communist forces. He cites the staggering figure of 77 million non‑voting Christians as a decisive battleground.Next, senior fellow Scott Powell (Discovery Institute) discusses his forthcoming book, *1776 Rising: America’s Second War of Independence*. Powell frames the cultural war as a continuation of the Frankfurt School’s “cultural Marxism” project, arguing that America’s drift from its Christian heritage has left it vulnerable to ideological subversion.Finally, Kenneth Abramowitz confronts the FBI’s alleged inaction on what he calls “incitement to genocide.” He contends that calls to eliminate Christians, Jews or other groups constitute a criminal threat that should be prosecuted, and he calls for Sharia‑based organizations to be treated as political, not religious, entities subject to closure and loss of tax‑exempt status. Abramowitz warns that without decisive legal action, extremist groups will move from pre‑kinetic rhetoric to violent attacks.Throughout the episode, Gaffney, Raisley, Powell and Abramowitz present a unified narrative: Florida’s designations are a model for national security, the cultural war must be won on the battlefield of ideas, and the upcoming midterms are the decisive moment to secure America’s future.
