Fred Grandy, Erick Stackelbeck, Bill Gertz

Fred Grandy spends the first half of the hour with Frank on  Iran's ability to a attack  the U.S. from Venezuela.  Is the White House in some way responsible for Iran’s audacity?  Fred moves on to evaluate the decision by the President to pull out of Afghanistan and the negotiation between the administration and the Taliban to release the Talibani leaders from Guantanamo Bay.  Then  to the recent defense cuts by President Obama; what would be the implications of such cuts be; not only at nationally level but at State and community level? Eric Stacklebeck joins Frank to shed light on Council on American Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) influence in America. Has Obama played a vital role in emboldening CAIR to curb our right and freedom of speech? What role does Yusuf al-Qaradawi play, not only in CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood but also in the negotiations between the administration and the Taliban in Afghanistan? An Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear program, the drawdown in Afghanistan, and U.S. Russian relations all weigh with consequence.  What are the implications of how the U.S. plays it’s hand?  No one knows the context, the players, and the moves better than Washington Times Geopolitical editor and legendary national security journalist, Bill Gertz.  Catch his weekly wrap up of defences issues with Frank.
