I discusssed John McCain's embrace of Bush-o-nomics on Fox News. Notice how the GOP strategist I debated actually brags that McCain is going to continue Bush's economic agenda - as if that's a great thing.
On July 28th, I appeared on Fox News's Bulls & Bears to discuss poverty and whether the government should work to alleviate it. Not surprisingly, the panel I was on was stacked with conservatives who said no, the government really shouldn't try to alleviate poverty. I did my best to fight them off.
Here is a video I put together to explain a very simple point. Watch Democratic presidential candidates pass the buck and pretend they have no power to end the Iraq War - when in fact they do have all the power they could need to stop the war.
At the 11/15/07 presidential debate, Hillary Clinton laughed about NAFTA and said she could barely remember the debate over that devastating trade pact that the Clinton administration passed. Now, she has announced she plans to vote for the Peru Free Trade Agreement - the bill that expands the NAFTA model into South America.
I debated former Romney spokesman Kevin Madden on Fox News' Hannity & Colmes. We discussed the fallout from John Edwards' admission that he had an extra-marital affair.
The first of two segments on Fox News' weekend business show - this one debating universal health care. Notice how when I say that under a single-payer system the government will be able to negotiate lower drug prices, the other panelists simply say that's not true - even though various U.S. government agencies already do this very successfully.
The second of two segments on Fox News' weekend business show. In this segment, we debate oil industry price gouging - notice how the other panelists laugh at the very well-known, well-substantiated facts about how the oil industry manipulates supply and refinery capacity to drive gas prices artificially higher. Only on Fox News is the statement of fact laughed at.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduces his bipartisan legislation prohibiting companies that are laying off American workers from using the H-1B visa program to import low-wage foreign workers.
I appeared on Fox News today to discuss the major issues in the presidential campaign. As you can see from the clip, Republicans are trying to claim that Iraq is now not a major issue for voters. Pretty incredible.
I appeared on PBS Now to discuss my new book THE UPRISING - and how the populist uprising is impacting the presidential race and movement building efforts on both the Right and Left.
I discussed my controversial In These Times article about the Race Chasm in the Democratic Party on CNN. For background, you can read the full article at In These Times' website.
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson pulls a Don Rumsfeld in trying to pretend we don't really know global warming is a serious problem. The Tillerson quote is made up of two separate excerpts of one answer to a question at the 2007 ExxonMobil shareholder meeting.
A solid story by Lou Dobbs Tonight reporter Christine Romans about the absurdity that is U.S. trade policy. I make a brief appearance at the beginning.
When I worked at the Center for American Progress, we provided background research to Sunday shows about the guests they were having on. I just found this clip from CBS Face the Nation where they used our research on Rumsfeld. Watch as Rummy tries to lie about Bush administration lies about Iraq.
As part of my reporting for my May 2008 New York Times magazine piece on the gas industry, I attended a public hearing sponsored by the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission. At the hearing, the commission heard testimony from local residents in the Trinidad area about a proposal for new rules regulating the gas industry. Here is the testimony from rancher Warren McDonald.
