While most of the Middle East and the western world celebrate the fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Middle East expert and World Net Daily contributor Dr. Mike Evans says this change will most likely result in the rise of a a radical Islamic regime in Egypt because the population is far more radical than the media and our own government are willing to admit. Why does he see the worst case scenario as the most likely scenario? How will radicals get into power? How likely is it that Jordan could be the next government to fall? Why will Obama deserve much of the blame if radicals surround and threaten Israel? What’s the best way for the U.S. to prevent this from happening? And how is Israel likely to react to all of this? We discuss it all with Dr. Mike Evans, author of “Jimmy Carter: The Liberal Left and World Chaos”.

Fighting Two Terrorist Threats
Iowa Rep. Steve King discusses the end of Hosni Mubarak’s reign in Egypt. What does he expect to happen next? What can the U.S. do to attempt facilitating the best possible outcome? Why does King say it’s hard for Obama to say anything that the people can trust? We also ask Rep. King about this week’s surprising House vote that rejected the extension of certain Patriot Act provisions. How did he vote and how concerned is he that the government is or could infringe on our rights through the powers granted through the Patriot Act. We discuss it all with Rep. King.
Egypt, Human Rights and Freedom
Now that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down from power, how should the U.S. react and what do we want to happen next? We ask Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, who also explains his new Freedom Trade Act, which would make strong human rights records a requirement for trade with the U.S. Would such a policy actually force changes or just limit markets for U.S. goods? Is this policy mainly aimed at China? We ask Rep. McCotter and also discuss his new book, “Seize Freedom!”.
