Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	With mounting skepticism about the plausibility and strategic purpose of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in the United States, we begin with an expert on Iran, Flynt Leverett, who served as Senior Director for Middle East Affairs on the National Security Council in the Bush Administration before resigning over Middle East policy. We discuss the inner workings of the Iranian regime and assess how they see their foreign policy working since many analysts now suggest Iran’s influence in the region is waning.
Part 2	Then we are joined by Jim Hightower the former Texas Agriculture Commissioner who lost his job to Karl Rove and Rick Perry and is now a popular populist voice on the radio and in his nationally syndicated columns. We discuss the pay-to-play Texas governor and his chances of becoming president as well as the Occupy Wall Street movement and other subjects. For info on the announced event, click here
