Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review cautiously cheer a new poll showing Floridians overwhelmingly rejecting Obama and his re-election efforts. We also rip liberals for immediately turning the Virginia earthquake into a talking point for their pet causes. and we offer our own musings on the tremors that shook the nation’s capital on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Libyan rebels stormed the Gaddafi compound in Tripoli and seem to have forced Moammar Gaddafi to flee. How happy should Americans be that this terrorism-sponsoring figure seems to be out of power? How concerned should we be that Islamic radicals are poised to take power? How should we assess reports that Sharia will be at the heart of the new Libyan constitution? And how much influence can the U.S. have in this process? We discuss it all with retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Tom McInerney, a Fox News Channel military analyst.
Tens of millions of Americans felt the rumble from Tuesday’s 5.8-magnitude earthquake, but those near the epicenter endured a rougher experience than anyone else. The University of Virginia is not far from the epicenter and respected political analyst Dr. Larry Sabato felt the effects along with everyone else on campus. Sabato tells us about the intensity of the shaking and what he thought was happening before he realized it was a quake? He also describes campus and the state of everyone’s nerves there in the hours following the temblor.
Americans from Atlanta to New England to Chicago were surprised by a 5.8-magnitude earthquake. The epicenter was in central Virginia and experts believe it to be the strongest quake on record for the region. Why was this quake bigger? Why was it felt so far away from the epicenter? Does this mean bigger quakes will become more common there? How active are the fault lines in the eastern United States? We discuss it all with Daniel McNamara, seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center.
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review like a new Gallup poll showing four Republicans neck-and-neck with President Obama. We also lament Paul Ryan’s final decision not to run for president, and we dissect the rumors that Obama may not even seek-re-election.
California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher has some choice words for Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi as his rule appears to be ending soon. But he also says this mission is further proof that the U.S. cannot fight every battle – and we certainly can’t pay for them all.
Last week, President Obama went forward with new directives to immigration officials to suspend deportations for all illegal immigrants not connected with violent crime. Why does California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher call this ‘an incredible betrayal’ of our laws and of legal immigrants? Why does he see this as President Obama’s deliberate attempt to change America in a drastic way? What options does Congress have in response? We discuss it all with Rep. Rohrabacher.
For over a decade, Five Talents International has sought to alleviate poverty in some of the poorest nations on earth. But the help does not come through traditional aid. Instead the tools are business training and loans for people to create their own budding businesses. How does it work? What has been accomplished thus far? How does the group keep corrupt governments out of the process? We discuss it all with Craig Cole, executive director of Five Talents International.
Greg Corombos of Radio America and Jim Geraghty of National Review cheer as Col. Gaddafi appears ready to fall in Libya. We also wonder which Republicans Jon Huntsman is trying to reach with his scolding of conservatives over evolution and global warming. And we marvel at President Obama’s unbridled hypocrisy as he accuses Republicans of putting party above country just three years after rebuking John McCain for allegedly doing the same.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton says the U.S. call for Syrian President Assad to step down is correct but comes far too late. Why does he say it’s the right move? Who would step in to replace Assad? How would this impact the standoff with Iran? Bolton addresses those questions, examines the role of an eroding relationship between Israel and Egypt in this week’s terrorist attacks and updates his consideration of joining the 2012 presidential campaign. Listen here for the full interview with John Bolton.
