Expert slams White House for watering down terminology used in fight against Muslim radicals.
No More ‘War on Terror’
‘Genuine Concern and Anger’
Former deputy Republican National Committee Chairman Frank Donatelli says the White House should recognize the fierce anger voters have for the administration spending so much money and wanting to tax and spend a whole lot more. So is this outrage genuine or drummed-up for the cameras? Why does Donatelli think the Obama administration is the last group that should be critical of choreographing political events? And what will this fierce debate over health care mean for the 2010 midterm elections?

The Next 100 Days Will Be Worse
John Gizzi of Human Events joins us to discuss President Obama’s first 200 days and the rest of the week’s biggest political news. Why will the next 100 days be even more challenging for Obama? What should we make of the U.S. negotiating the release of the reporters jailed in North Korea? What is the legacy of convicted ex-congressman William Jefferson?

Obama ‘Doesn’t Like Israel’
Retired Israeli Brigadier Gen. Elihu Ben-Onn joins us to discuss the mounting Iranian nuclear threat and Israeli frustration towards President Obama’s obsession with stopping settlement construction on the West Bank. How worried are the Israeli people about an Iran with nuclear weapons? Do they believe diplomacy will work in the next couple of months or do they think a military option is necessary? Why does Gen. Ben-Onn believe Obama’s actions thus far show the president does not like Israel? How will that impact U.S.-Israeli relations for the coming years? And how could Obama demonstrate that he does care about Israel’s future?

We’re Just Encouraging More Hostage-taking
While all Americans welcome the return of reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee, what is the long-term impact of negotiating with a rogue state like North Korea to secure the release of the women? How could the Obama administration have secured the release of Lee and Ling without cowtowing to the demands of Kim Jong-Il? And why does an episode like this put more Americans at risk? We ask former Pentagon official K.T. McFarland.
Out of the Mainstream
Wendy Long of the Judicial Confirmation Network is with us to explain why Sonia Sotomayor is a bad choice for the Supreme Court whether you examine her record on the federal bench, her activism before becoming a judge or her weak and misleading testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. So why does Long think Sotomayor didn’t tell the truth to senators? What about her record suggests a radical rather than a moderate? And what will she really be like on the Supreme Court?

‘Angry and Scared’
Wyoming Rep. Cynthia Lummis joins us to explain why voters in her state are so furious with the amount spending and big-government legislation being considered in Congress. She slams the White House contention that voter anger is ‘manufactured’ by special interest groups or only the noise created by the vocal fringe of the population. Lummis also discusses the possibility of middle class tax hikes, why the cap and trade bill would devastate Wyoming and what these toen hall meeting during the Congressional recess can actually accomplish.

Christians Murdered By Muslim Mob in Pakistan
Open Doors International Minister-at-Large Paul Estabrooks joins us to discuss the deaths of 14 Christians in Pakistan – burned to death by a Muslim mob that falsely claimed the Christians were desecrating the Koran. So how did this happen and what triggers such a violent reaction by Muslims to real or perceived slights to their faith? We also hear how Estabrooks thinks the release of two U.S. reporters from North Korea will impact that country’s brutal treatment of believers.

A Clunker of A Program
National Review Editor Rich Lowry explains why he believes Democrats – and many Republicans – are wrong to support the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program. Why is this a bad move for Congress and the Obama White House to make? What does it suggest when the government bends over backwards for the auto industry but almost no one else?
