Just Ask the Question Podcast

Twenty years ago terrorists changed our lives forever.

Join us for a very special edition of "Just Ask the Question" this week as we discuss the world post 911 with former FBI investigator Mark Rossini who says "We're not any safer today," than we were then.

Mark Rossini is a former FBI agent who labored to let the world know before the World Trade Center came crashing down about the terror threat. Thwarted by the CIA in doing so, Rossini says it is time for politics to be taken out of law enforcement. He joins us on Just Ask the Question as he answers the important question: Are we safer today than we were 20 years ago? His answer may frighten you.
