115 Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained have been brought home in the last 20 months—with zero ransoms paid—said Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.

In this episode, Gorka takes us inside high-stakes hostage rescues, negotiation efforts, and the Trump administration’s strategy to go after radical jihadism and left-wing terrorism.

In this episode, we dive into:
- A late-night mission to Kabul to meet top Taliban officials.
- The hostage cases Gorka sees as the most difficult.
- How many Americans are still being held hostage overseas.
- The single largest counterterrorism operation since 9/11.
- How terrorism threats have evolved since 9/11.
- The State Department’s new China wrongful detention advisory and what Americans should know before traveling.
- How the administration is targeting money flows to left-wing terrorism.
