Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin on this Martin Luther King holiday and speak with Gerald Horne, the Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston and discuss today’s announcement by Attorney General Holder on the steps of the State Capitol in Columbia, South Carolina, that voting rights are still at risk in this country where both overt and subtle forms of discrimination are all too common and that the enforcement of these rights is a moral imperative.
Part 2	Then as sanctions ramp up on Iran, we discuss how Iran sells its oil and to whom, are how they get around sanctions, with Dr Sara Vakhshouri, who was an advisor to the Director of the National Iranian Oil Company. She has an article at the Huffington Post, “Closure of the Hormuz Straight: An Actual Threat or Diplomacy?”.
Part 3	Then finally William Cohan, a leading financial journalist who used to work on Wall Street, and did business with Bain Capital during the Romney years, joins us to discuss how Bain Capital specialized in dirty tricks. William Cohan is the author of the recent best-seller “Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World”.
