Chuck Hagel’s Nomination: A Sure Path to Disastrous Defense Cuts

With Diana West, Monica Crowley, Robert Spencer, and Andy McCarthy.

DIANA WEST, author of The Death of the Grown Up, reports on the assassination attempt on Lars Hedegaard’s life, renowned Danish investigative journalist, at his home in Copenhagen today. The shooter was reportedly Arab, and the near-tragedy ties into the debate about free speech and the fight against Islamist censorship in the media.

MONICA CROWLEY, New York Post columnist and author of What the Bleep Just Happened?, analyzes how Chuck Hagel’s Senate hearing clearly showed that he is incompetent for the job of Secretary of Defense, and how his ideology when combined with Obama’s policy, will lead to devastating defense cuts and America’s retreat from the global scene.

ROBERT SPENCER, director of Jihad Watch, discusses how Hillary Clinton finally ‘let the cat out of the bag’ about the jihadist threat that the Obama administration has previously denied was real, and analyzes how Al Gorezeera will effectively become a propagandist arm of the Islamist agenda in America.

Former federal prosecutor ANDY McCARTHY explains the reasoning behind his belief that if the Central Intelligence Agency is going to become a purely politicized institution, it is better to not have it at all—especially if John Brennan is leading it.
