Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad: Tusked Off!
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was supposed to cake-walk his way through a joke primary against a little-known and vastly underfunded college professor; no one down here much took the election seriously. Instead, the Richmond Tea Party somehow ousted the powerful Republican, proving that its wing of the party would have to be reckoned with this election year and, more importantly, in the 2016 Presidential race. What's the Tea Party's beef with today's GOP? Immigration? The IRS? Two Richmond Tea party organizers join us, as well as Randolph-Macon professor and immigration advocate Debra Rodman and ABC News political director Rick Klein.

Full Disclosure with Roben Farzad: Pushing The Frontier
Caravel Fund’s James Harmon and Caglar Somek, accomplished investors in the “frontier” — delicate but fast-growing developing economies like Ghana, Bangladesh and the Philippines that are gunning to become the next Korea and Brazil. Can you do well and do good? Harmon, a Wall Street veteran, worked as the head of the Export-Import Bank under Bill Clinton … when Hillary urged him to take his first-ever trip to Africa. We’re joined by Adaora Udoji, a Nigerian-American author and former WNYC host, for a talk on the paradox of Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest economy, which is booming while constantly on the brink of civil war.
