Very well put together. Great job, to all bravenewfilms staff & TYT. The leaders of the world need to be held accountable by somebody.

Amazing. This show is going to explode.

Bennie: The first episode will be added to the podcast shortly, so please check again soon. Future episodes will be added much quicker to the podcast. You can view the premiere episode here as well: meetthebloggers.org

So I'm wondering when/if podcasts will be available? It's not usually possible for me to watch a whole webcast, so I typically podcast The Young Turks, Air America, etc. When I click on the podcast link here, all it downloads for me is the trailer for the show.

This is the Bush game plan...President Bush gives blanket pardon to all that has committed crimes including the Vice President Cheney...Then a week before Bush term ends he resigns for what ever reason. Cheney now becomes President and Pardons Bush...Check Mate America.

"Is Nancy Peloci a closet right-wing Republican?" - Taken from the last comment. Read Orwells' Animal Farm. There really is no difference between both parties. Every four years(or eight)they each get a kick at the can or first place at the feeding trough.

They both serve the same masters and impeachment will lead to opening a can of worms most politicians want to keep closed. If opened, whatever "image" of the US is left, will be completely eroded - from which there will be no recovery.

The issue of impeachment of the current president and vice president cannot be more important than right now. George Bush and Dick Cheney have committed several high crimes and misdemeanors as cited by Congressmen Robert Wexler and Dennis Kucinnich. Why is it that Nancy Peloci defends the president and vice president so vigorously by so forcefully saying that, "Impeachment is off the table?"

Is Nancy Peloci a closet right-wing Republican?

flood your congress with phone calls and e mails - lets all commit to it. demand this G'D congress to earn our money!! I'm sick of our polite out rage, there is no accountability where no one DEMANDS it!The fact that we are all uncomfortably willing to accept that this expensive government is self serving and corrupt to our injury is UN BELIEVABLE to me. We need to be less in-scent burning and more flag burning. HELLO?

The first show was a little rough, but I have no doubt the show will get better.

I have some questions for Harry Reid. First; will he ever trim that thing? Second; If I ever recieve a subpoena in the future, should I treat it like a jury summons like Karl Rove did?

Great Show!!! Thanks!!!

(There was a long comment here but I couldn't get it to post....lets see if this one shows up.)

DREAM CHANGE and its 'WAKING OUR WORLD' Movement:

Inspire Earth-Honoring Changes in Consciousness
Utilize Indigenous Wisdom to Effect Social and Environmental Change
Conserve Forests and Preserve Traditional Cultures and Values
Encourage Sustainable Ways of Living

we are willing to fight and die for our country when we perceive a foreign threat, who will defend us when the threat to our freedom comes from within? From Ohio State to Ruby Ridge to the tasing of a student in U of Fla, clearly our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, who have joined our military, will kill on demand. If we have our elections stolen this time, it's check mate. The Great Experiment concluded, experiment failed.

Well since you just established yourself as a racist and a bigot when you called Obama a "Grinder Monkey" . . your anti immigrant tirade comes as no surprise.

By the way mental midget; the two border guards are still in prison because they broke the law and were convicted.

When the Sh&t hits the fan,how will "LiL Bush",or,the next,'Grinder Monkey", persuade our soldiers to Kill Us?

I would love to know why Harry Reid allowed his wife to change his mind on Immigration.He was once against Illigal Immigration,now he is in favor of it.
Is he,"Harry Reid",saying that his wife has more influence on America,than the vast majority of Americans.
OH Yeah!! Why are the two boarder guards still in prison?

Karl Rove is an arrogant pric% he believes we are a "nation of men," not a "nation of laws."

We know Republicans represent the elite, wealthy, plutocrats and corporations? Do the Democrats represent the rest of us, or are they a foil giving the impression of a choice? The actions of the 110th Congress taking impeachment off the table and refusing to stop funding of the Iraq War should leave no doubt that the Democrats represent the same undemocratic, anti-freedom, anti-rights, unAmerican elements that the Republicans do. Its folly for anyone who believes in freedom, justice and equality to support Democrats or Republicans

3 cheers for Kathleen's comments on the lack of media coverage for John Edwards. Was his message to appealing to Middle America for your attention? Shame on you and the media...

The only way to stop Bush from pardoning everyone for everything and anything they have done in the past from any future prosecution is to IMPEACH HIM. His powers of pardoning anyone stop as long as he is in impeachment proceedings.

It would make sense to drop this until a new president is in office as it is more difficult to pardon someone for something they haven't been charged with. Once Bush is gone, Rove really is on his own. The whole bunch of them belong in jail as far as I'm concerned. The young people on these blogs do give me hope for America, as an old hippie I had almost just given up. Thank you.

Please , make this an hour long every day...

Would it be possible to charge Karl and his cohorts AFTER Obama takes office so Bush will no longer have the power of the presidential pardon?? I , for one, am willing to wait.

Question: Since the mayor of Detroit is under criminal investigation & Rep. Conyers wife, being mayor protem, is/has been in an official position (Member of Detroit's City Council) during the course of investigation of overall corruption by the Dept. of Justice, might that be @ least one factor bdhind John Conyers' to pursue actions re impeachment/otherwise against Bush/Cheney/Rove?

All US citizens being equal, Rove should be in jail. Ask yourself this, would you or anyone else for that matter be allowed to board a international flight out of the country while under a congressional subpoena? He was allowed to skip out for a reason, same song and dance as usual. When will enough be enough?

I would like to hear Obama and McCain respond to Al Gore's challenge to convert all electricity production to renewal energy sources in 10 years. Thanks.

This is a great way to keep people informed. Rove needs to go to jail!

This is a great site! I very much like the concept. Thanks for sending it to me.

Karl Rove will be pardoned, I think we all know that. But his criminal actions should be posted in as many places as possible so as to become an unalterable part of history.

Congrats on the show.

Suggestion: change the embed code for the show so that it doesn't automatically start playing. Its annoying bewcause its restarts with each refresh of the page.
Thanx

I agree with Tunde - we should all get together and make a citizens arrest of Karl Rove. No man - or woman - is above the law, and it's a shame that this man who has committed crimes that shake the roots of our democracy can thumb his nose at the law, but we have 2.3 million folks rotting away in prison for violations that pale in comparison. It's a shame!

Uyger and Maddow is my new media.

Cenk, congratulations! Excellent show and a great job man.

Karl Rove's actions are only a part of a much bigger problem: the fact that governments and media do not view the common good as their primary mission. This is not new: the Gulf of Tonkin attack never happened, yet threw the USA into the Vietnam War. What is new is that a large part of the population is starting to "know better" and demand a realignment of priorities. When enough of us require public servants to be obsessed with serving the public like Wal-Mart requires its employees to be obsessed about low prices, real positive change will occur.
Love,

Karl Rove came to Virginia Beach today for a local fundraiser. He told our local news that the constitution is the reason he will not testify, he went on to discuss the seperation of powers are at work here...even thought the Judicary committee (bipartican) ruled 7 to one that the Executinve privledge does not apply to Karl Rove. He should be arrested!

Rove came along latter, but Libbby, Chaney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz are the writers of the Wolfowitz Doctrine which turned out to be the most imperealistic doctrine since the Japanese Army of the 40's. They should all be tryed in the Hague. RoyBoy

It bothers me that I have to wonder whether democrats will have enough integrity to act against Karl Rove.

Question for the Panel: As a frustrated progressive American, I wonder why it is that our duly elected Democrats refuse to stand up to the Bush regime? Fisa, War Funding, Impeachment, inherent contempt - all these issues must be clogging the Congress's collective brain. Does something happen to politicians when they get to Washington? How do we fix this kool-aid induced disease and tunnel-vision? If we keep pressing, will things ever get back to "normal"?

Why don't they subpoena Bill Canary and his wife? They can spill the beans on Rove. They need to prosecute this as if they were going after the Mob... because, essentially, they are! This administration is behaving just like a crime syndicate.

Does anyone ever notice that the oath of office requires all officeholders to uphold and protect *the Constitution*? Most officials talk as if they had sworn to be our bodyguards, to keep us safe. Keeping the public safe is the job of law enforcement and the military. The job of our elected officials is to keep us FREE!

Venting about Rove's actions might feel good, but this discussion is a waste of time. This do nothing Congress will just do nothing! I would like to start a "Throw All The Bums Out" movement. I've become a yellow dog Dem but would gladly throw out my Dem representatives because they've done nothing of importance to me!

Its not gonna happen! As much as our juices are boiling hot with revenge, Carl Rove is as likely to go to jail as we are to kiss Rush. So move on to more likely occurances and stop pissing up a rope just for attention.

For Arianna. Just after the Iowa primary where Obama came in first I heard you and Mark Green on "7 Days in America sharing your overview of that primary. It was alarming when the two of you completely ignored John Edwards second place win. It was all Obama Obama Obama and then Hillary, Edwards was barely mentioned. It was not fair or balanced coverage of what took place in Iowa.

Before a show do you and Mark Greene decide what the agenda is before the show? I felt like I was listening to the MSM.

Remember Susan McDougal? She refused to lie about the Clintons, so the Repubs, (Ken Starr) put her in prison in chains, solitary confinement, and kept moving her farther and farther from home, ending up in Calif. She and her husband were involved in Whitewater, and the Repubs were trying to force her to implicate the Clintons.. She stayed in prison rather than lie, an admirable thing to do. Her book is called "The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk" Ken Starr is another one that got away with injustice.

I am furious that these thieves are getting away with this. Can we put pressure on Nancy Pelosi to impeach Bush and Cheney. Even if it couldn't be accomplished, at least it would keep them too busy to start another war. Remember how they kept President Clinton so tied up that he couldn't accomplish all that he had planned. Shouldn't Karl Rove be hunted down and be made to appear before Congress? How dare he go on a trip instead of answering his subpoena? Let's make some noise, people.

It would great if you guys would discuss Vince Bugliosi's book, The Prosecution of GWB for Murder. After watching Bugliosi on c-span, I'm convinced he has stated a strong case. Anybody here willing to take it on?

If Bush and Cheney lead our country into war with Iran, or support Israel attacking Iran, should the people of this country not draw the line right there, and disown this administration, and put a halt to any further financial or political or military support of Israel?

While I value highly all my Jewish friends, I personally do not wish to support the high-handed, bloody, and totally narcissistic (nationalistic) policies of the state of Israel, nor do I think it is in our national interest to do so.

How can this country keep the Bush administration from launching our country into a new war with Iran before leaving office?

Going to war with Iran would be a destructive thing for our country to do right now, not only destructive to Iran but to us. And I think, personally, judging from his record, that that's just what Bush unconsciously wants for our country. [Bush to the world:"Go to hell, all of you!"]

Can Bush pardon Rove for any crimes he MAY have
committed if congress can not bring indictments against Rove before Bush leaves office?

Why would any prosecution of Karl Rove be considered partisan retribution when Rove had no problem orchestratng the incarceration of Alabama governor Don Segelman and the firing of Several DOJ federal prosecutors for political reasons? Shouldn't a return to the rule of law be a central point in the Democratic Party's national campaign and isn't their continued lack of fortitude regarding this issue merely an amplification of the notion that they are just a wimpier, cycnical, modestly less corrupt version of Republicans like Karl Rove and George W. Bush?
