What is the focus of Dr. Sebastian Gorka's role in the White House?
We have a lot of work to keep Americans and our allies and our friends safe from the scourge of global jihadism. His demand, even more than eight years ago, is that if you share the threat assessment that jihadism is bad, then you need to step up. You need to be more active partners, whether you're Arab nations in the Middle East or whether you're Western nations that have terrorism occurring on your streets. So can you reassure sensible people around the world that in attempting to do a deal quickly, Ukraine isn't going to end up in a position that's bad for the world and bad for America? He's truly horrified by what he's seeing. This isn't about a quick fix and move on. This is about stopping horror.

Yes. Our good friend, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, and you deal with counterterrorism above all. We're sitting here with the coffee cups with the president of the United States on them in the room where the American government found out Pearl Harbor had happened. So that was a historic moment. This is a historic moment. How do you feel it's going so far?
How is the Trump administration addressing the threat of jihadism?
Absolutely incredible. I pinch myself every single day, not simply because of my personal reasons that I've been waiting about 25 years for this job, but it feels like we've been here for seven months, not seven weeks, because of the pace, the alacrity of what the president has achieved from sealing the border to new deals to, as we are recording this, he just announced from the Oval Office with Secretary of Defense Hegseth next to him, the new F-47 fighter jet, big secret for the So keeping up with him is one of the toughest things in life, but it's just an amazing time to be alive, and it's an amazing time to be an American. And what do you do day to day? So I'm the Senior Director for Counterterrorism in the National Security Council, working for the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz.
And so my job is to coordinate all counterterrorism policies and activities for the President, for Mike Waltz, to make sure that we are... Well, as my colleagues tell me, they ask me as I bump into them in the West Wing, have you killed more jihadis today? So we have a lot of work to keep Americans and our allies and our friends safe from the scourge of global jihadism. Well, you say that in a way that will sound kind of like political to a lot of people, but the president has come out and been very, very clear, and Tulsi Gabbard also, that you guys see jihadism as one of the big threats to America, which seems a bit of a pivot. Well, look, it's not a univalent situation. There's not one threat. So I'll be completely open here. When I came into this building eight years ago for the first Trump administration, my background was counterterrorism, was teaching the military, the intelligence community how to deal with al-Qaeda and ISIS. And I thought I'd be doing that.
