How have the members of Generation Y been impacted by the ten years following 9/11? Devin Foley, President of Intellectual Take Out, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and mobilizing conservatives and independents about economic and political freedom joins Secure Freedom Radio today to discuss a recent survey conducted by his organization. In this survey, members of Generation Y and moms under 40 were asked how concerned they were about key issues such as national security and foreign oil dependency. The major finding from this poll was that a majority of Generation Y expressed a concern that America had gotten off track on key issues and that foreign oil dependency could threaten US security. Foley says that we should be very worried about this generation. While they were raised to be multi-cultural focused, they are facing a break down of their multi-cultural understanding. However, he believes that young Americans are finally waking up and realizing that the Constitution needs to be upheld in US courts and that a dual law system with Sharia law is harmful to national security.
Next, Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow, Sol Stern describes the “drive the Jews into the sea” attitude that Palestine and its neighbors are expressing about Israel at the steps of the UN Security Council. The current initiative by Pakistan to challenge the legitimacy of Israel’s right to existence is presented in a historical lie, says Stern. Palestine has presented the issue as stemming from Israel’s desire to stop the creation of a Palestinian state, whereas it was originally the Arabs who rejected the suggested UN Partition Plan of 1947. Palestine never expressed an aspiration of a Palestinian state, argues Stern, but rather they wanted the complete abolition of a Jewish nation. Moreover, Stern expresses his concerns that if the UN Security Council officially recognizes a unilateral declaration of independence for a Palestinian state, the United States, who would ultimately veto the decision, would be drawn into conflict with the international community and press.
Frequent guest here at Secure Freedom Radio and former intelligence officer at the CIA, Clare Lopez joins Frank to examine the latest hearings observing the 9/11 ten year commemoration and how secure the US is ten years after the attack. Lopez states that the major conclusion in the hearing was that al Qaeda had been worn down, but still posed a threat. This is the “understatement of the century,” says Lopez as the hearing failed to recognize that the United States is not just fighting one organization, but battling an entire Islamic awakening. She believes that it is imperative that US senior leaders gain an understanding of the threat posed by civilization and stealth jihad. Furthermore, they must study in depth the overall problem posed by violent and pre-violent extremist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood that are animated by Sharia law.
US Representative for California’s 25th District and Chairman of the House Armed Services Commission, Congressman Buck McKeon concludes today’s show discussing the ongoing defense budget debate. The military is currently facing cuts to each of its services, including the 300,000 civilians and military jobs being dissolved. McKeon believes that it is merely cheaper to keep the troops employed in the military rather than spending the Obama administration’s proposed $400 billion training our veterans to enter the workforce after a forcible discharge from the military. Additionally, Rep. McKeon says that the unemployment rate for young military men and women returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is at twenty-two percent, not including those wounded veterans who are unable to find jobs. This is a tough lesson to swallow about the reality of how our troops are being treated. McKeon further argues that if only our ordinary citizens knew the extent to which the cuts had on the well being of our troops who sacrificed so much for our country, then we could save our military from the devastating defense budget cuts.
