MATTHEW CONTINETTI, editor in chief of the Washington Free Beacon, exposes Chuck Hagel's many deficiencies that should prevent him from becoming the next Secretary of Defense, and is skeptical of the media's malfeasance in not exposing said deficiencies to the public. From the Jerusalem Post, CAROLINE GLICK, predicts that Obama's agenda for his upcoming trip to Israel will be to attempt to push an agreement between the PLO and Israel, but Obama doesn't realize that there is no Palestinian leadership that will cut a deal with Israel at this point. CHRISTIAN ADAMS, from the Election Law Center and author of Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department, exposes the plebiscite campaign that would deny any non-native Chamorros in Guam the right to vote in elections, putting at risk this highly strategic American outpost in the Pacific. ROWAN SCARBOROUGH, a reporter from The Washington Times, speculates on how the Pentagon will cut $46 billion from their budget, and explains how Hagel's nomination has survived to this point considering the plethora of discrediting information that has been discovered about him.

Richard Miniter guest hosts. Former Iowa Congressman, FRED GRANDY, covers the Hagel hearings in terms of U.S. relations to Israel, Egypt, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Will the U.S. watch the Islamists repress political opposition in Egypt as they did in Iran in 2009? MAX BOOT, author of the newly published book Invisible Armies, goes into depth on why the U.S. was initially so unprepared for fighting guerrilla forces in Afghanistan, despite its lengthy experience with similar combat in Vietnam. Boot also expresses his concern for what will become of Afghanistan if U.S. troops withdraw substantially from the country. Washington Times reporter ROWAN SCARBOROUGH explains how the success of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi last year can in great part be blamed on the lack of planning by the U.S. government for such a situation. Because no plan of response had been established for an Islamist-backed mob in Northern Africa, the Africa Command had no quick reaction forces with which it could protect the consulate. Heritage Foundation expert on Strategic Issues MICHAELA BENDIKOVA sets the record straight on Chuck Hagel’s obfuscations on nuclear forces and arms control. In reference to a nuclear policy recommendation report he co-authored for the Global Zero advocacy group which promotes reductions in the U.S. nuclear arsenal, Michaela clarifies, “He was very adamant that the report doesn’t say that the United States should take these steps unilaterally. It does."

KATHARINE GORKA, executive director of the Westminster Institute, reports on recent conference "Amplifying Muslims Voices for Reason and Reform." They discuss how the Arab Spring movement must be supported with intellectualism and education to avoid turning into a Fundamentalist Autumn. ROWAN SCARBOROUGH, writer for The Washington Times and author of Sabotage: America’s enemies within the CIA, discusses Chuck Hagel's nomination as Secretary of Defense, his relatively isolationist views and the effect that his presence on the cabinet could have for America and her allies. FRED FLEITZ, managing editor of lignet.com, reviews a recent speech from President Assad in which he expresses somewhat delusional confidence in his quickly crumbling regime. The wisdom of continuing to send military aid in the form of tanks and small weapons to a radical leading Egypt is also discussed.
