March 15 - Changing The Focus To Public Morality; Are We Hurting The Regime Or The Iranian People?; Killing The Planet For Oil

Full Program

Part 1

 We begin with the fallout from the resignation letter by a Goldman Sachs executive and explore the broader issue of public morality at a time when Republican presidential candidates are campaigning on enforcing a holier-than-thou private morality, mostly about sex. Mike Lux, the CEO of Progressive Strategies joins us to discuss how the focus in this election can be turned to address the morally bankrupt behavior and toxic and destructive environment of Wall Street

Part 2

Then as the screws turn on Iran with today’s closure of its access to international bank transfers, we look into Iran’s aggressive and defensive foreign policy and the extent to which sanctions are hurting the Iranian people but not the regime. Nader Hashemi, a professor of Middle East and Islamic Politics at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver joins us.
