MP3 Podcast: Get every podcast in our archive for TDPS Members

–Cenk Uygur, Host of The Young Turks, joins us live to talk about MSNBC, his car breaking down, Christine O’Donnell, people mistaking Ana Kasparian for his wife, and more.

–Don Rojas, Executive Director of Free Speech TV, joins us live to discuss the upcoming One Nation Working Together event in Washington DC.

–Chris Manz of Democrastreet Wow is in studio to discuss his upcoming The Chris Manz Show Live event.

–Less than a week until the live iPad giveaway on October 6th

–More Christine O’Donnell absurdity, this time saying evolution is a myth, and we discuss her statement, as well as wonder how much Christine O’Donnell coverage is too much.

–Sarah Palin thinks we know more about Christine O’Donnell already than we ever did about Obama, and Haley Barbour thinks we know less about Obama than any President in history. Really? Even James K Polk?

–Producer Louis agrees to dye his hair bright red if Christine O’Donnell wins her Senate race.

–Provisions from the new healthcare bill are now in effect, including lifetime limit limitations, pre-existing conditions, preventative procedure coverage, and more, and we discuss how it is on the Democrats to use early successes from these provisions to their advantage in the upcoming election.

–Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gives a speech at the United Nations during which he indicates that most people in the US believe the truth about 9/11, which is that it was an inside job to help the US economy and save the Zionist regime, and we discuss how similarly oppositional comments in Iran would lead to a stoning.

–Is Ahmadinejad intelligently lining up to gain sympathy through “I told you so” in the event that Iran’s nuclear facilities do get bombed?

–Stephen Colbert testifies before a House committee about farm workers, which was not funny, and likely will not even remind people in a few weeks that it was related to farm workers’ rights. We wonder what the point of the whole thing was.

–Fox News feigns unabashed anger at the Stephen Colbert testimony.

–Last week’s poll about how much longer it will take until 20 states have legalized gay marriage.

–New station in Delaware airing Midweek Politics, voicemails left for the show, and emails about a Jewish conspiracy behind gay rights, Lady Gaga, Christine O’Donnell, and more.

–Much more in this week’s bonus show, including whether David believes in UFOs, what should happen to the Queen of England, and much more.

    I put this same comment on your youtube site…
    If you haven’t heard the whole Stephen Colbert Senate appearance you really should, the clip on your show isn’t the best part. The Right Wingnuts really cut him down, for his 5 minutes presenting his view to congress. He made some good points, and staying in his pompous character helped make the point in my opinion.
    btw: I’m in Michigan and really enjoying your show via youtube. Thanks.

    I not only got a kick out of watching Colbert in character, but also seeing him define his position, as a naturalized citizen (after he cut the act) was a chance to view someone speaking to our politicians with experiential sensibility. It doesn’t take much to see the boogie man was only hype.

    The irony of putting someone up on front street as a comedic “1 trick pony,” incapable of meaningful commentary while still carrying such high regard for style over substance in politics should perplex even those with little interest in the issues involved.

    Like his style or not, bravo to his message of giving the least of our people a one day “leg” to stand proudly upon.

    Hi, I really like your show, but I don’t like iTunes. I use Zune, and I was hoping you could set it up so I could download the show through that service, rather than getting it from the website and transferring it over to my Zune manually.

    Anyway, keep up the good work, guys. Also worth noting, I heard about your show through Best of the Left, so props to Jay.
