MICHAEL RUBIN, of American Enterprise Institute, dissects the results of the recent Iranian Presidential elections and subsequent win of so-called moderate candidate, Hassan Rouhani, and what this really means for the region and for the United States as well as what changes, if any, the world can expect to see from the country's new and moderate president. HAROLD RHODE, of the Gatestone Institute, explains why the new Iranian president is not—and cannot—be "moderate" in the American sense of the word, and how Iran is purposefully trying to lure the US into a state of false security. ROBERT ZARATE, Policy Director at the Foreign Policy Initiative, looks towards the upcoming U.S. and Russia meeting, specifically looking at the issues of nuclear de-armament and Russia’s plan of action in regards to this issue. GORDON CHANG, of Forbes.com, touches on the subject of Edward Snowden and the growing possibility that he is working with the Chinese government. Chang also gives his analysis of China's economic future based on recent stock market closings and other fiscal signs.

In light of the visit of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, MICHAEL RUBIN of the American Enterprise Institute joins Frank for the entire hour to outline the Geo-political role of Erdogan and Turkey, both historically and in the context of current events. What is the nature of the Turkish government and how has it changed under Erdogan's leadership? Has it drifted, undetected, from a secular nationalist nation toward one with an Islamist identity? This important NATO ally has maintained appearances through Erdogan's relationship with Obama even while a sea change in Turkish foreign policy shifts to strengthen ties with Middle Eastern entities aligned against the U.S. What are the implications for Israel, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, of the Hoover Institute, postulates why Obama is changing over 65 years of American foreign policy to remove the US from its preeminent place in international relations, and explains the reasoning behind Obama's progressive move to cut defense spending to fund entitlement programs. AMB. JOHN BOLTON, former US ambassador to the UN, analyzes the fallout from Chuck Hagel's Senate hearing, and explains that nuclear deterrence won't work against an enemy who believes that such destruction would lead to paradisaical glory. MICHAEL RUBIN, from the American Enterprise Institute, explains how Egypt is on the brink of becoming a failed state, how Turkey is not an American ally, and how Al Qaeda has planted its roots in the Syrian rebellion leading to disastrous consequences for Israel no matter the outcome of the current conflict. GORDON CHANG, from forbes.com, interprets the war-talk coming from Chinese officials, combined with recent increased isolation in Tibet, and aggression over disputed islands as a warning to America of China's desire for a war in the near future.
