It’s now June, and Democrats in Congress have yet to put forth a budget – a move Republicans claim is designed to prevent voters from seeing just how much red ink Dems have planned for the next fiscal year. How significant is that when our debt is about to exceed our GDP? How endangered is our credit rating as the debt soars? What can realistically be done to stop it? We ask New Jersey Rep. Scott Garrett.

Embracing Obama with One Arm
As several states hold critical primaries, will Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln be denied her own party’s nomination? Which candidate has a better chance of winning in November? How worried are Democrats about holding on to key House seats in Virginia? Which party has the edge in the two big California races? Are Dems embracing Obama or running away from him? And do Democrats fear another 1994? We ask Michael Lewan, former chief of staff for Sen. Joe Lieberman and partner in the Washington office of Brown Rudnick.
Iran Wants War with Israel
Iran has threatened to use it’s own ships to act as a convoy bringing materials through an Israeli blockade into Gaza. Is this a real threat and what would happen if the convoy meets the blockade? We ask Dr. Mike Evans, adviser to many Israeli officials and longtime friend of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He is also the author of “Atomic Iran”. Dr. Evans also explains why the controversy erupted when it did and how the Obama administration’s actions played a major role. He discusses why U.S.-Israeli relations are the worst since the modern state of Israel was created, and why he thinks another proxy war and Iran nukes may just be six months away.
