Bernard Weinraub began working at The New York Times as a copyboy. He rose through the ranks to work as a foreign correspondent in Vietnam, in Belfast, in New Delhi, and London. He was a Pentagon reporter, a political writer, and a White House correspondent during the final years of the Reagan administration and the first year of Bush 41. He left Washington and became The New York Times’ Hollywood correspondent in 1991, and after his 1997 marriage to Columbia Pictures President Amy Pascal, Weinraub was given the new title of “Senior West Coast Cultural Correspondent.”

With host Roger Aronoff, the Executive Director and Editor of the CCNS, they discussed a wide range of issues related to America’s wide open southern border: sanctuary cities, drug/sex/child trafficking, fentanyl, the rationale behind Biden’s policies, the differences on border issues between Trump and Biden, and media coverage of all of it. This is a must-see episode of The National Security Alert.

With Carafano, Aronoff discussed threats to U.S. national security, such as China, Iran and certain Biden administration foreign and domestic policies.

David Tice’s documentary examines what would happen if the United States power grid were to ever shut down. It looks at what could cause it, including cyber-hacking or an EMP, and what we can do to prevent it.

Rep. Babin, whose district includes part of Houston, discussed problems as a result of the open border between Mexico and Texas, the energy policy of the Biden administration, and the sham January 6 committee.

Rich Baris discussed the recent primaries in Arizona and concerns about the integrity of upcoming elections.

They discuss the lies and politics behind the claims that global warming, now referred to as climate change, is an existential threat and a national security threat. They look at media coverage of the issue, and how big corporations, including oil companies, have been seduced or threatened into supporting major aspects of the agenda of the Green New Deal. And how the pandemic has set the stage for greater population control and potential tyranny.

They also discussed some of Bailey’s post-military activities including the Gathering of Eagles, Special Operations Speaks, and his involvement with both the Citizens Commission on Benghazi and the Citizens Commission on National Security. Other issues include “stolen valor,” people who claimed to have had a military career that turned out not to be true, and wokeness in the military today and how that affects military readiness. Bailey names names and doesn’t hold back.

In this premier episode, Aronoff and Lopez discuss the issue that ultimately led to the establishment of the CCNS, Benghazi, to current issues including Iran, China, the war in Ukraine and more. We hope you will find this to be a fascinating and informative discussion, the first of many to come.
