The latest edition of The McCarthy Report (our National Review podcast), takes a hard look at Kyrsten Sinema, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.). Ms. Sinema is locked in a tight race with Republican Martha McSally who, like Sinema, is a congresswoman from Arizona. But the focus of the discussion between Rich and I is Sinema’s participation in the Lawyer Left’s resistance to Bush-Cheney counterterrorism in the post-9/11 era.

Among the recent revelations of Sinema’s radicalism is her promotion of college campus appearances by attorney Lynne Stewart (my principal adversary in the 1995 Blind Sheikh prosecution) when Stewart herself was under indictment for material support to terrorism. It has also emerged that Sinema spoke favorably of the prospect of Americans joining the Taliban at the time U.S. forces were heavily engaged in hostilities in Afghanistan. For many of us older types, the 9/11 atrocities were a shocking and formative experience, heavily influencing our views on national security and Islamic extremism. We often forget that the terrorist attacks happened 17 years ago, and many young people do not remember them like we do. Rich and I talk about how the battle is on to shape the history.

We hope you’ll tune in.
