Fred Grandy, Rep. Gus Bilirakis, Yoram Ettinger, Bill Gertz

Fred Grandy

· The Muslim Brotherhood is working itself into American society with a “charm campaign” that paints Sharia as a Constitutional friendly way of life.

· Sharia is taking hold throughout Africa, the Middle East and parts of Europe; will it come to the US next?

Representative Gus Bilirakis

· Freedom of religion is under assault in Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood is doing everything they can to oppress religious minorities while promoting Sharia

· The US needs to stop giving aid to nations that do not accept religious freedom because we need to start standing up for the values that we in this country take for granted

Yoram Ettinger

· How concerned should we be considering our government is starting another round of negotiations with Iran?

· While President Obama negotiates, Iran is getting closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon that could alter the balance of power in the Middle East?

Bill Gertz

· The US has stopped engaging in counterintelligence operations because our government does not want to admit that their might be employees that are no longer loyal to the United States

· Can the US government stop believing they are not vulnerable to leaks and moles before another devastating attack occurs?

Michelle VanCleave, Eric Stackelbeck, Robert Muise, Roger Noriega

MICHELLE VAN CLEAVE

· Michelle joins Frank to discuss her recent piece in the Wall Street Journal about Russian spies as well as comments made by Vice President Joe Biden to Mitt Romney in respect to the same.

· The Russian intelligence presence in the United States is as extensive and high in numbers as it was during the height of the Cold War. The last arrest made in connection to Russian spying was made in 2001. Is the administration closing its eyes to the Russian intelligence presence in the country?

ERIC STACKELBACK

· Eric points out that this is not a war on terror, terrorism is only a tactic motivated by Islamist ideology. The most dangerous of all the jihads is the civilization jihad and the masters of which are the Muslim Brotherhood.

· Muslim Brotherhood operatives are penetrating and influencing the United States government. Why does the government seem clueless?

ROBERT MUISE

· An expert in Constitutional law and a Marine by background examines the hearing on the Arizona law. Arizona can and is doing whatever it can under the Constitution to protect the people in the state. Is this a Constitutional crisis?

· U.S. government’s ownership of AIG, a company that is the world’s largest purveyor of Sharia compliant insurance products raises the question of who is influencing who. Is this becoming a part of a pattern of extra constitutional behavior?  Muise points out that the current administration is taking actions that are so contrary to the Constitution.

ROGER NORIEGA

· A visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, shares his opinion about the Arizona law and the current hearing.  Noriega points out that our immigration system has not kept up with the economic side of things hence the problem has deteriorated over time.

· Will the sympathy for illegal immigrants outweigh the need for securing the border and the society?

Christian Whiton, Clare Lopez, Jim Hanson, Rep. Allen West

Christian Whiton, former State Department official

· What does it say when our State Department makes comments pertaining to Department of Defense operations? Christian Whiton gives his perspective on what this comment says about our understanding of the threats against the nation.

· Our leaders fail to understand the threat and therefore fail to create an affective strategy to combat such threats. There are people within the State Department with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, how much influence do they wield?

Clare Lopez, Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy

· Clare Lopez joins explains Iran’s nuclear situation, does the United States realize the scope of the threat posed by Iran?

· She also provides her opinion concerning the power the Muslim Brotherhood has in the War of Terrorism against the United States and the rest of the free world.

Jim Hanson, former special operator en in the United States Army

· Jim Hanson gives his take on a senior State Department official claiming, “the war on terrorism is over”.  According to Hanson, The threats are still on going and getting worst.

· He also explains the Obama administration’s role regarding the strategy used in Afghanistan. Is the U.S. Government supporting our troops or our enemies?

Congressman Allen West, Representative of Florida’s 22^nd District.

· Congressman West provides his thoughts on the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhoods in America. Do Americans truly understand they face every day?

· As a former member of the U.S Army, he explains how concerning it is to cut our military’s capabilities, especially at a time when they are all that stands between security and destruction. What can we do to protect our troops?

Fred Grandy, Mark campbell, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Harry Soyster, Andy McCarthy

The Department of Justice allows the use of Shariah law in certain court cases and Muslims are allowed freedom from work for their religious practices, yet what about the other religions in America who are not given as much freedom or attention in the workforce or court systems?  Fred Grandy explains that “you can’t have submission without domination.” We are now beginning to submit to the domination of Islam. How far will this submission go and will we be able to stop it in time?

It is necessary that the US government label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. Mark Campbell explains that in doing so, the US government can connect the Muslim Brotherhood’s front organizations to other terrorist groups, like Hamas. This will allow the federal government to start systematically disband their network in the United States. Why has the Obama Administration failed to do so?

There is a failure on the part of the intelligence community to learn, understand and adapt to the threats against the United States. Lt. Gen. Harry “Ed” Soyster (Ret.) brings up the fact that our government is not speaking openly and clearly as to the nature of the threats we face, or our objectives in combating such threats. We must know ourselves and our enemy if we are to succeed in protecting our homeland. Will the Obama Administration ever speak openly about the threats against us?

The Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the US want to delegate counterterrorism policy to our lawmakers thereby controlling who we deem are or are not a threat. Andy McCarthy enlightens us to the notion that there are some people that see Islamists as a group that needs to be combated while others feel that if we allow them into the halls of government, then they will change their ways. These groups will use whatever means available to achieve their objective and we must remember that Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, is the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch.

Lisa Curtis, Tim Lister, Caroline Glick, Gordon Chang

Recent attacks in Afghanistan were meant to kill Afghan security forces as well as ruin the will of the ISAF forces in country, but according to Lisa Curtis this plan backfired miserably. Pakistan is failing to crackdown on safe havens for terrorists thereby jeopardizing the US and coalition mission in Afghanistan. When will the administration start cracking down the Pakistan’s complacency?

Sexual entrapment, financial blackmail and family pressure are all techniques used in espionage and put national security in serious jeopardy. What can be done to ensure our government is giving security clearances to people who will not become subjects of such forms of blackmail? Tim Lister explains that many of the agencies that do background checks are so overworked that people are falling through the cracks. How secure is our nations’ secrets?

The situation in Egypt has gone from bad to worse since the fall of Mubarak and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood. Caroline Glick clarifies how the Muslim Brotherhood will not work with Israel and the United States the way that Mubarak did and therefore putting Israeli security and American interests at risk. Why is Obama encouraging the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood?

India successfully tested a missile that can reach any part of China which led the Chinese to frantically discredit the missile because they have no actual response to the growing Indian threat. Gordon Chang evaluates the notion of transferring “dual usage” technology to the Chinese which they would most likely use for their military efforts. Is Obama trying to strengthen our enemies on purpose?

Roger Noriega, Rand Paul, Janice Kephart, Nonie Darwish

ROGER NORIEGA

• Roger Noriega, former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States, talks about President Obama’s participation at the Summit of the Americas where the decriminalization of drugs and the possibility of including Cuba in the next Summit were at issue.  Did the U.S. lead in setting the priorities for this Hemispheric agenda?

• Noriega also addresses the importance of supporting the Mexican Government in the drugs war lead by The Zetas and the coming Presidential elections in Mexico.

SENATOR RAND PAUL

• Kentucky Senator Rand Paul sheds light on halting aid to Egypt. Egypt arrested pro-democracy workers and prosecuted them in December, 2011. The United States paid around $4 million for their release. Egypt received aid from the U.S. then immediately demanded that Interpol extradite the aid workers back to Egypt for their prosecution.

• Egypt’s hope of democracy will be crushed if the Muslim Brotherhood comes to power. The Muslim Brotherhood is not the secular organization they portray, yet the U.S. has sent them $1.5 billion in aid. Is the current administration supporting the Muslim Brotherhood at the expense of establishing democracy in Egypt?

Eric Eversole, Karen Lugo, Bruce Klingner, Jim Hanson

By the virtue of their service our men and women in uniform are entitled to have their votes count and be counted, unfortunately for a long time this has not been the case. Eric Eversole the leader of a group called the Military Voter Protection Project talks about Ground Hog Day experience where each election our troops find out their ballots didn’t make it in time to be counted. Eversole points out that it has become increasingly difficult for our men and women in uniform to vote.  Eversole mentions that it not only affects the morale of the troops but also impacts the elections. We need to find an alternate to regular mail to get the votes of the troops in.

Karen Lugo, a prominent member of the federal society, a lawyer and a visiting professor at the Chapman University sheds light on ‘Taqiyya Tour’ sponsored by Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) presents the idea that  Sharia and our constitution are not only compatible but they are inspired by the same ideas.  ICNA has a budget of $3 million to run this program.  ICNA points out that the Sharia to be implemented in the U.S. would be different from the one adopted by conservative countries such as Saudi Arabia.

Bruce Klinger a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and a former CIA and DIA intelligence specialist examines the situation in North Korea and its new regime.  Klinger points out that the recent launching of a missile by N. Korea is a violation of the UN resolution and the agreement signed with the U.S. Klinger mentions that N. Korea testing its nuclear weapons is a certainty and this has closed any doors for negotiations. Should the U.S. engage in diplomatic talks and negotiations with this country? What should be the administration’s response?

Does the recent raid over the weekend by the Haqqani network in some of the highly secured areas of Afghanistan show that we are losing in Afghanistan? Does it point to a lack of coherent strategy in Afghanistan?  Jim Hanson former Army Special Forces and our boots on the ground specialist joins Frank to discuss the situation in Afghanistan plus the recent controversial photos posted by newspapers of an Army soldier posing with a blown up dead body.

Thom Shanker, Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Debra Burlingame, Andy McCarthy

Since the end of the Cold War, US forces in Europe have constantly been shrinking and will probably end up in the range of 20,000 in the near future. Thom Shanker explains what this means to the morale of our troops and our allies in the region. If the US starts to ignore Europe, will the Russians take the opportunity to seize more control?

Obama is continuing to offer Iran a free pass on their nuclear program which casts America as nothing more than a paper tiger. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann elaborates on the idea of America being a paper tiger and how the Iranians are laughing at us behind closed doors. Are we just giving Iran more time to complete a nuclear weapon? How do the Israelis view this complacency on the part of Obama?

Is the Obama Administration falling for the Muslim Brotherhood’s “charm campaign” or does the president think he can ensure American security by becoming friends with our enemies? According to Debra Burlingame, the Muslim Brotherhood is not an advocate for peace and equality, but seeks to establish a global caliphate under the guidance of Sharia law. Will America wake up to this stealth jihad?

Has England gone completely over the edge in their quest for inclusion of their Muslim population? , in response to President Obama’s $10 million bounty for a high valued terrorist leader in Pakistan, the British Parliaments’ lone Muslim has offered a bounty for the capture of President Obama and former President Bush. Andy McCarthy explains how England has worked so hard to make Muslims a part of British society that they forgot that not all Muslims pledge their allegiance to the Union Jack. Will incidences such as this put a strain on the relationship of the free world’s two greatest allies?
