(1:12) Guest: Quinn Mecham, Professor of Political Science at BYU  Everyone is paying attention to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today. His address to both chambers of the US Congress was televised internationally and offered sharp criticism of the Obama Administration’s ongoing nuclear talks with Iran.  “Prime Minister Netanyahu is running as a security candidate—someone who is trying to stand up for Israel’s security issues,” says Mecham.  “Since the year 2000, Russian democracy has been on the decline,” says Mecham on Putin’s terms as president and prime minister.
