Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin in a moment and examine the explosive allegations leveled by Attorney General Holder at a press conference today, announcing the arrest of an Iranian/American involved in an alleged plot with Iran’s Al Quds force to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the United States. Dr Trita Parsi, the president of the National Iranian American Council joins us to shed some light on this bizarre and reckless plot.
Part 2	Then we speak with a former founder of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps Moshen Sazagara to try to understand who authorized such a brazen assassination of a close confident of the Saudi king on American soil. We will discuss the reasons behind tensions between the Iranian regime and the Saudis as Iran suffers foreign policy setbacks in the region with the Syrian regime it supports teetering and rival Turkey assuming a more assertive and leading role in the region.
Part 3	Then with the latest Republican presidential debate underway, we look into religious bigotry that may play a decisive role in whether Mitt Romney gets the nomination or not. A former insider in the right wing evangelical movement Frank Schaeffer joins us to discuss why Christian fundamentalists consider the Mormon Church a cult and why they will en masse vote for Governor Perry, who Mitt Romney has demanded should repudiate bigoted comments made by a pastor close to the Texas governor.
