11:58 am
Morning all!! Am I the first today?? That’s never happened before…
12:05 pm
Question: why’s it say there’s no sammycam today, but I’m watching on sammycam? Is the audio stream on Hartmann’s stream right now?
TY for honoring one of the greatest landmarks in US labor history, Bread and Roses. SF LaborFest had a program the other day to commemorate: http://laborfest.net/
12:11 pm
You’re watching yesterday’s show on the SammyCAM. Hartmann’s camera feed on Ustream has been added to the post.

Where’s the live audio stream button?
12:25 pm
All the links you need are on the post!

Sam’s hosting on Hartman’s show!
links at the top of this header!
12:13 pm
So where is Sam? It says Sam is hosting Thom Hartman, but I see Thom Hartman speaking, not Sam.
12:17 pm
Ok, I see Sam just went to break and is back, taking a phone call. TY Matt. The audio keeps cutting out for me.
12:21 pm
And now the red audio stream button is working – no, actually, it’s cutting out too. Matt, we’re hearing your cues and countdowns. Doesn’t bug me or anything, just letting you know.
12:24 pm
You will hear the cues and countdowns via our stream. We know about that, thanks! Their feed won’t have that stuff.
Nothing cutting on our end (although I did notice the short Ustream issue, but that is on their end)
-Matt
12:29 pm
This is actually an interesting way to listen. Thanks for cross-posting all the linkage folks.
12:36 pm
Sorry to grouse so much today, but I’m finding this awkward and frustrating. The audio keeps cutting out no matter what stream I listen on. And at the hartman audio link above, there’s a completely different program, with Hartman speaking, that opens up in my iTunes. Reich just cut out in mid sentence, a full five seconds!
12:38 pm
Reich cut out back on the MR audio stream (the red button), not in iTunes.
12:39 pm
Don’t worry about it and I completely hear you!
Unfortunately, I don’t see anyone else having these issues so it seems it might be on your end. Plus most of technical aspects of today are being done in Thom Hartmann show’s end.
A podcast will be available after so you can catch up on anything you missed!
-Matt
12:43 pm
Thanks Matt, I appreciate your help. I usually don’t have a problem with the live feed, so I’m not sure it’s at my end, but maybe so.
12:18 pm
Will Sam be monitoring Twitter or IMs?
12:25 pm
I will be monitoring Twitter. Sam will not be. No IMs. Call into Hartmann to get in touch with him today.
-Matt
12:21 pm
what’s the point of killing people anymore? that was an awesome call.
12:22 pm
Lookin’ and sounding good Sam !

There’s more re: Bain that’s coming out every day!

Gingrich now attacking own PAC for ad he praised buzzfeed.com/zekejmiller/gi…
1:02 pm
He told Meet the Press/Press the Meat that he “hoped” his PAC’s movie ad of him would be accurate on Bain.Amazing. Can’t trust his own factcheckers. Oh wait, what factcheckers.

‘Moyers & Company’ begins tonight. We’ll explore how America’s gross inequality is no accident, but was in fact “politically engineered.”
Check local stations at Moyers’ web site.

RT @AriBerman Romney never mentions that Bain’s successes were made possible by gov’t subsidies, “corporate welfare” bit.ly/zUMK8X
2:01 pm
This subbing for Thom makes me wish Sam had his own show. He does so well interacting with the callers and interviewing people.
Reminds me of the “old days at AAR”!
2:18 pm
Agreed, Toni. Of course, he does have his own show, but it would be nice if he was back on radio. Don’t know if our !@#$% SF old AAR station would carry it, though. They just took on Glenn Beck (in Stephnie Miller’s am slot) and some other hater, and shunted Malloy to 1am. In short, ditched dem friendlier ‘casters to give even more air time to the rethugs. All the more reason to have Sam, but I don’t see any commercial station in the SF BayArea carrying it. Love to be proven wrong on that.
2:58 pm
Hey Sam, will there be a podcast available for those of us who could not listen to you on Thom’s show?
4:25 pm
Yes. Podcast is on the way!
-Matt
2:59 pm
Thank you Sam, Matt, Jacob, that was great! The audio glitches disappeared after the first hour or so.
3:06 pm
A Friday without Chris Rosen is hardly worth living…
3:32 pm
where’s the podcast for today’s show. my itunes did doesn’t have one to upload yet….is there going to be one??
4:25 pm
Podcast is on it’s way!
4:55 pm
Its up now. Sorry for my impatience.Of course its because we love the show. Mahalo for all your exceptional work.
3:28 pm
Sam did an awesome job. This show is a textbook on our current economy & politics and the Occupy challenge to them. Thanks!
10:34 am
It was interesting to hear the occasional cues Sam would get from the Thom Hartmann staff, but I was afraid Sam was going to have a “Lonesome Rhodes” moment that would put an end to The Majority Report and Thom Hartmann show at the same time.
11:44 am
Uh-oh. It’s now Monday morning and there’s no Sam and no update to the web site. I wonder if that “Lonesome Rhodes” moment happened and we just didn’t catch it.
