With Dakota Meyer, Bing West, David Satter, and Andy McCarthy Marine and Medal of Honor Recipient DAKOTA MEYER stops by the show today to discuss his new book, “Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War.” His co-author and former Marine BING WEST also joins Meyer to discuss the Afghanistan War and the Battle of Ganjgal with Frank. Russian President Putin is dissatisfied with USAID supporting pro-democracy groups inside of Russia. Do these repressive measures by Putin signal a trend of future ‘soft repression’? DAVID SATTER discusses these developments in light of the Obama administration’s ‘reset’ policy with Moscow and what it all means for the future of US-Russia relations. ANDY McCARTHY comments on the meeting between Mohammed Morsi and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton at the United Nations, where the two discussed the recent attacks on the Libyan consulate as well as the protests at the American Embassy in Cairo. McCarthy also addressed the volatility of having the Muslim Brotherhood in power in Egypt during such a critical time following the Arab Spring.
