John S. Pistole

Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia joins us to discuss how the elections are shaping up.

And former FBI Director John Pistole joins us to discuss an alleged terrorist plotting, uh, terrorist plotting, uh, to target non-Muslims at Minnesota's Mall of America, and the troubling history of Islamic radicalization, radicalization in the state.

Plus, Pastor Paul Chappell of Lancaster Baptist Church in California joins us to discuss legislation affecting retirement benefits for pastors across the country.

And as the world remembers the horrific Hamas terrorist attack on October 7th, we must not lose sight of how those events set in motion a chain of consequences that continue to shape the crisis unfolding across the Middle East.

Now subsequent investigations uncovered ISIS recruiting efforts, including a case involving a former Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport employee who had held security credentials granting access to restricted areas.

Now, with another alleged terrorist plot targeting one of America's largest shopping malls, questions remain about how individuals become radicalized, how terrorist organizations recruit followers here in the United States, Americans born here, and what more can be done to identify and stop these threats before innocent lives are lost.

Joining us now is former FBI Deputy Director John Pistole, who held lead, the lead in a... helped lead the bureau's counterterrorism, uh, efforts following September 11th, uh, 2001, those attacks.

He currently serves as a senior advisor at a law firm in Indiana.
