With the rise to power of the weak and ineffective Joe Biden, America’s friends and foes alike increasingly regard us as a mere shadow of our former selves. It appears to many that the days when America could be trusted to support its allies no matter what and strike fear into the hearts of our enemies largely evaporated in the wake of our inglorious defeat in Afghanistan.
Such a disastrous outcome would never have happened during the two terms of President Ronald Reagan, for example. To help understand what has befallen America and how to undo the harm Biden and other woke Democrats are doing to this country, we invited former Congressman Robert (Bob) Kasten, a leader who actually worked with President Reagan, to appear on the show this week.
After serving as a Wisconsin State Senator, Senator Bob Kasten represented Wisconsin in both the US Senate and in the House of Representatives, providing leadership in international matters and business concerns. He also served on both the Senate Appropriations Committee and Senate Budget Committee and was the Ranking Member on the Surface Transportation Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. Bob played a pivotal role in the development of US humanitarian and military assistance programs, including foreign military sales. In 1985, President Reagan appointed Senator Kasten to the President’s Export Council (PEC), which advises US Presidents on government policies and programs pertaining to trade performance, export growth, and trade-related conflicts. Today, Bob is President of Kasten & Co., an international business consulting firm, and is a Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Join Dr. Jay Lehr, Tom Harris, and guest Senator Bob Kasten in this week’s episode of The Other Side of the Story to learn what needs to happen if we are to successfully stand up for freedom in a world increasingly threatened by ruthless dictators in Communist China and Russia.
