Recently, Iran held their national presidential elections, and to no one's surprise, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected in a landslide. It wasn't because he was a popular leader, it was because the elections were rigged so well that it made our own GOP blush with shame. But according to my next guest, this election rigging was the start of something far worse than just re-installing a dictator to lead the country. Ring of Fire's Bobby Kennedy, Jr. talks about Iran's potential military coup with Reza Aslan, author of the new book "How to Win a Cosmic War."
