Legislative Round-Up
Larry Mantle talks with KPCC Sacramento Reporter Tamara Keith about many of the important bills that are pending in the California Legislature.
New Anti-Terrorism Strategy
Larry Mantle talks to veteran terrorism expert Brian Michael Jenkins about his proposal for a new strategy to fight terrorism at home and abroad while vigorously defending American's freedom and civil liberties. At home, the strategy relies on self-reliance and citizen involvement as the principle weapons in a prolonged struggle against terrorist threats. Abroad, he calls on the nation to eradicate the jihadist network with a wide range of political, military and ideological initiatives that can be maintained over the many decades it will take to achieve victory.
