1. glad to know it is streaming.

When used to live outside of LA, found it one of the best possible sources of information. real depth. thanks for recommending it to others.

2. I try to never miss it.

I just wish they would archive the shows faster. It's usually Wed. or Thurs. (sometimes later) by the time they get them up.

I missed who the current guest is, oh, he just said, Col. Chamberlain.

5. Great show today - but somewhat depressing

One of his last guests in the second hour of his show (didn't catch his name) said that the way things are going, the Democrats will not cut funding for the war because they don't want to be blamed if there's a great meltdown in Iraq (and the odds are that there will be). It seems that they're going to let Bush take our military right down the drain into Hell. Once the collapse occurs, involving a possible Constitutional crisis if the military revolts, it could get very ugly in America. Apparently, even some of the Neocons like Negroponte are not willing to go as far as Bush wants to go because the risks are too high.

Why Ian Masters doesn't get phenomenal exposure as one of the very best commentators and talk show hosts in America today, I don't know. He has the single most intelligent show on the air, with the best guests.

6. That last guest was Mark Levin

I think. What got me was when he was asked just WHAT! will it take to change the course * is on? His reply, When Americans March in great numbers in D.C. That will be the end to the war. (my interpetation of Levins words, more or less)

There is a march at the end of the month, the 27th?
