I discussed MELTDOWN and Democrats’ reconciliation bill on Michael Moore’s great podcast Rumble this week. They explain why so many Americans have lost faith in government, and why it is so dangerous for Democrats to repeat history. The lessons and cautionary tales from the Obama years are more relevant than ever right now.
#DAVID SIROTA MELTDOWN PODCAST SERIES#
I hope you’ll listen to the series and encourage your friends to listen as well. The series also includes parts of my never-before-aired interview with former President Barack Obama.Ĭlick here to listen to some select excerpts of interviews with Frank, Nichols, Taylor and Taibbi. Brad Miller, journalist Matt Taibbi, former Biden aide Jeff Connaughton, and former Troubled Asset Relief Program Inspector General Neil Barofsky. It is a story that is particularly relevant right now, as Democrats in Congress debate whether or not to side with their corporate donors and once again hollow out their own promised agenda.Īmong those featured in the series are: New Yorker writer Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, The Nation’s John Nichols, author Thomas Frank, former Democratic Rep. It tells a story that has often been ignored or avoided because the truths are painful and inconvenient to people in power. This project is the culmination of nearly two years of reporting by me and a team of terrific reporters and producers at Transmitter Media and Jigsaw Productions. The project is already scoring great reviews: I’ll also be writing a few articles about the series. In the coming weeks, we expect to have a special live event for Daily Poster subscribers with some of the guests in the series.
#DAVID SIROTA MELTDOWN PODCAST FREE#

Sirota has a theory and it’s related to the kind of lawmaker that Buttigieg is. So why won’t he and why didn’t he when he had the chance? That’s what Andy wants to know. “That Southwest’s executives making the decision to pay themselves $112 million, Southwest executives’ decision to approve a shareholder dividend of $400 million while not making what they knew to be were necessary investments in their computer system,” is all the more reason Buttigieg needs to regulate them and others, says Sirota.
Sirota also pokes a hole in the argument that Buttigieg isn’t responsible for Southwest’s computer system errors.
Buttigieg did none of that,” Sirota tells show co-host Andy Levy.
“Colorado’s attorney general, before the Southwest meltdown, and a bunch of other attorneys general filed a letter, an official comment letter, telling Buttigieg to finally pass a rule that’s been sitting at the Department of Transportation for four months requiring airlines to sell only flights that have adequate personnel to fly, saying that the Department should make clear it will impose significant fines for cancellations and extended delays that are weather-related or otherwise unavoidable.
