John, Paul, and Steve talk about Benjamin Netanyahu’s stunning win and the American Left’s reaction to it. Iran was also front and center, along with the latest on the budget front.

Then they’re joined by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) for a short but enlightening interview; Rubio explained his thinking behind the famous open letter to the mullahs, and elaborated on his interview with the Associated Press last night, in which he made headlines by saying that as president, he would feel free to walk away from a bad deal with Iran, even if our European partners want to stick with it. After all, as John Kerry keeps telling us, the proposed deal is non-binding.

The show concludes with a little talk about the 2016 presidential race: Who are the frontrunners on the GOP side, and whom does the current anxiety about international events favor?
