Part 1

We begin with the latest and most brazen mendacity displayed by House Republicans who in their latest spending bill are gutting money for IRS and SEC enforcement and for the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission, crippling their ability to regulate derivatives and other toxic swaps. William K Black, the former litigation director for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board who put hundreds of crooked bankers in jail after the Savings and Loan disaster of the 1980’s joins us. bill black

Part 2

Then we go to India to get an update on the U.S’s divorce from Pakistan and the Obama Administration’s efforts to woo Pakistan’s arch rival India. Christine Fair joins us. She is a professor in the Center for Peace and Security studies at Georgetown University and is a leading specialist on India and Pakistan, which she visits often and where she speaks the local languages.

Part 3

Then finally in advance of tonight’s Presidential debate in Mexico we speak with Ioan Grillo a correspondent for Reuters in Mexico City where he has covered Mexican politics since 2001 and is the author of “El Narco: Inside Mexico’s Criminal Insurgency”.  We discuss what changes may come if the PRI candidate wins, and how the PRD candidate Lopez Obrador would approach the failed war on drugs.
