So much of our country’s attention has been focused on domestic policy since the Great Recession of 2007-2009 that foreign policy has taken a backseat to the recovery and the implementation of Obamacare.

Yet, it may be foreign policy that defines the success, or failure, of President Obama’s Administration.

The US response to events such as The Arab Spring, the nuclear buildup in Iran, Syria’s repressive regime, US-Russian relations, alleged NSA surveillance of Germany and Great Britain and Sino-American relations will have profound effects on the United States’ relationship with the rest of the world that last long after the memory of the Great Recession has been forgotten.

Bruce Herschensohn joins me to discuss how US foreign policy may be abandoning our allies around the world.

Guests include Pepperdine University fellow Bruce Herschensohn; GOP Political trickster Roger Stone; Michael Douglas biographer Marc Eliot; CNBC reporter Robert Frank; Slate columnist Sasha Issenberg; and successful community banker Tony Nuzzo.

Bruce Herschensohn is a fixture in American politics. He has received the Distinguished Service Medal, served as Deputy Special Assistant to President Nixon, and was appointed to the Reagan Transition Team. With the turmoil across the Arab world, we discuss his latest book Obama’s Globe: A President’s Abandonment of US Allies Around the World.
