Today's the day that the House of Representatives will vote on Trade Promotion Authority, better known as Fast Track. It all comes down to this! We'll keep an eye on the vote and break in to see what our elected representatives do as it happens, and chat with Democracy for America chair Jim Dean about the letter they sent to members of Congress this morning, urging a NO vote. Our resident Republican, John LeBoutilliler, weighs in on some of the GOP presidential hopefuls. And for Flashback Friday, it's my rare interview with New Radicals' Gregg Alexander from May of 1999.
Today Nicole is joined by two guests: Harvey J. Kaye is a historian and author of "The Fight for the Four Freedoms" about FDR, and history as facts that help inform the future; and former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern who famously confronted Donald Rumsfeld about his lies in 2006 and will call him out again today for trying to rewrite history
Nicole speaks with media strategist, consultant and trainer Joel Silberman in the first hour. David Dayen joins in during hour two to tell us about TiSA, another so-called trade deal being negotiated in secret that makes TPP look like kid's play.
Nicole shares some audio from Jason Leopold's testimony at yesterday's House Oversight hearing on FOIA. He made us proud! Dave Johnson returns with an update on the Fast Track votes in Congress. And Deborah Newell Tornell joins in for another edition of "Oy FloriDUH!"
Nicole was so impressed by Bernie Sanders' campaign kick off rally in Burlington VT yesterday (and pissed that MSNBC cut it off when Al Sharpton came on), that she begins today's show with Bernie's entire speech! TPM's Daniel Strauss tells about the issue that may trip up the GOP 2016 contenders. And CAF's Dave Johnson gives us an update on the fight against Fast Track & the TPP
We're seeing too many good things end, and too many bad things linger. Today Nicole bids farewell to David Letterman's late night show after already losing Colbert and Jon Stewart's departure is imminent. But the Patriot Act seems to live on forever. And the Senate votes on moving Fast Track forward. Marcy Wheeler & Digby guest.
