For the first half of the program, Peter and Mickey speak with author and Code-Pink

cofounder Medea Benjamin; her new book, "Kingdom of the Unjust," examines the 

history of U.S.-Saudi Arabian relations, and how the two governments remain close

despite the Saudis' repressing their own population, fighting a war in Yemen, 

and promoting the Wahabist version of Islam across the Mideast and beyond.

In the second half-hour, investigative journalist Greg Palast speaks about his

latest investigations into voter disenfranchisement, which is carried out primarily 

(but not exclusively) by Republican secretaries of state. Palast has a new article in 

the Rolling Stone, and a forthcoming documentary film, "The Best Democracy Money

Can Buy."
