Mark welcomes to the show Victor Davis Hanson, contributor to National Review as well as the Washington Times and others. They discuss the first-ever "third-world state" here in the United States... take a wild guess which one it is.

Also, best-selling author Mark Bowden revisits one of his books with Mark in "Guests of the Ayatollah," when Americans were taken hostage by Iran at the U.S. embassy in Tehran in November 1979.
