Henry Sokolski provides an update on how the Obama administration’s nuclear non-proliferation agenda is actually making proliferation worse.

Franks also weighs in on the new replacement for Central Command, General Jim Mattis.  Then, Gordon Chang alerts us of a dramatic shift in Chinese economic policy which will result in an astounding drop in essential earth mineral mining, thereby creating mineral soaring costs that will undoubtedly have a negative effect on our economy.

Michelle Van Cleave, Gordon Chang, Sue Myrick, Mark Krikorkian

Former head of U.S. Counterintelligence Michelle Van Cleave joins Frank to talk about the recently broken up Russian spy ring and expresses concern over the rushed effort to initiate a spy swap with Russia. Gordon Chang describes Chinese attempts to use American financial assets to pay for China’s bailout and how that could negatively affect you. Additionally, Beijing continues to protect North Korea while pressuring the United States to not host naval exercises in the Yellow Sea with South Korea – capitulating to Chinese demands would be ill-advised and send a message of weakness. Congresswoman Sue Myrick speaks out about the danger of the recently discovered presence of Hezbollah in Mexico. Homeland Security’s refusal to recognize legitimate safety issues does not bode well for our national security. Mark Krikorian from the Center for Immigration Studies elaborates more on the issue of immigration and border security, saying that President Obama’s rhetoric on comprehensive immigration reform is simply a political maneuver designed to placate his pro-amnesty base while drawing those potentially interested in the issue to his side.
