We begin with Josh Rogin who writes the daily web column “The Cable” at Foreign Policy. Last week, in a round-table discussion with President Bill Clinton, Josh Rogin got the former president to speak on the record about his efforts at Middle East peace that came close to solving the Israeli/Palestinian agony and why they failed. In short Bill Clinton blamed Netanyahu and we discuss these revelations with Josh Rogin who has an article at Foreign Policy “Bill Clinton: Netanyahu Killed The Peace Process”.

As it happened, later Monday night at a fundraiser in Los Angeles a heckler accused President Obama of being the Antichrist. The author of the article, Matthew Sutton, Professor of History at Washington State University joins us. He is completing a new book “American Evangelicals and the Politics of Apocalypse”. |
