HOUR TWO
DAN SENOR, former advisor to the Romney-Ryan campaign, sounded off on President Obama’s actions in Syria, and said that what has been done so far will not be sufficient.
He went on to explain that we need to show more support to the Secularist and Moderate Islamist factions in Syria, both of which our interests are aligned with. “The Secularists and the Moderate Islamists are basically Syrian nationalists, meaning their agenda is about the future of Syria; it’s not about the future of the region… So what are we doing to strengthen them? Up to now, nothing,” Senor said.

KEN ILGUNAS, author of Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom, talked to Brian about the debt he accumulated during his undergraduate college, how he paid it all off, and how he managed to stay debt-free with his unstoppable determination. Ilgunas explained that after getting turned down by dozens of jobs, he moved up to northern Alaska and became a tour guide.
“After two and a half years of working on and off in Alaska, I pay off my $32,000 student debt, and I have about $4,000 left in the bank,“ Ilgunas explained.
With all his debt cleared, Ilgunas was determined to never go into debt again, but he wanted a graduate education. After getting accepted into all three programs he applied to, he chose to attend Duke University. “The climate would be more agreeable living in a van compared to some of the other schools,” he explained.

Co-host of America’s Newsroom, MARTHA MACCALLUM, stopped by for a repeat performance today! The duo talked about President Obama’s lackluster speech yesterday in Berlin. “He’s standing up there talking about freedom from tyranny and all that I could think about was Syria,” MacCallum said, “I mean, if you’re going to talk about these examples of Communism and Nazism and how they were overcome by the world, you’ve just agreed to send a few small arms to Syria and you have an ongoing current situation, I think that’s pretty tough.”
