WCPT 820 AM

Hillary Clinton’s career in government:
1) When she was an attorney working on the Watergate investigation, she was fired by her supervisor for «lying and unethical behavior.» Jerry Zeifman, who is a lifelong Democrat, was a supervisor for 27-​year-​old Hillary Rodham on the committee. When the investigation was complete, Zeifman said he fired Hillary and refused to give her a recommendation…“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said. «She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality. «(Google Jerry Zeifman) 1 job #1 — Failure
2) When Bill Clinton recaptured the governorship in 1982 he appointed his wife to head a special task force charged with reforming Arkansas’ education system, at that time widely regarded as the worst in the country. The plan Mrs. Clinton came up with showcased teacher testing and funding the schools through a sales tax increase, an astoundingly regressive proposal since it imposed new costs on the poor in a very poor state while sparing any levies on big corporations. The plan went through. Arkansas’ educational ranking remained abysmal. 2 jobs — 2 Failures.
3) As First Lady of the United States, Bill gave Hillary another shot:
The Clinton health care plan, known officially as the Health Security Act, was a 1993 healthcare reform package proposed by the administration of President Bill Clinton and closely associated with the chair of the task force devising the plan, First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The plan was so wildly unpopular on all levels, it led to the Republicans simultaneously winning both the House and Senate in 1994 for the first time since 1953. 3 jobs — 3 Failures.
4) Hillary’s first ethics problem involving White House operations was «Travelgate». A memo written by David Watkins depicted Hillary Clinton at the center of the 1993 travel office dismissals. Watkins wrote, «we both know that there would be hell to pay» if «we failed to take swift and decisive action in conformity with the First Lady’s wishes.“May 19: seven White House Travel Office staffers were fired, for little apparent reason besides to make way for a company owned by Clinton’s friends (Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-​Thomason) from Arkansas. Prior to the removal of the previous staff — who historically would carryover from administration-​to-​administration — Harry Thomason accused Travel Office employees of demanding kickbacks. An accusation later proved false. 4 jobs — 4 Failures
5) May 9, 1996, Hillary Clinton lied about coming under sniper fire as she was landing in Bosnia
Filegate:
This Clinton scandal involves the discovery of over 900 Republican FBI files in the White House. Files of former Secretary of State James Baker, former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, and Newt Gingrich’s spokesman Tony Blankley were found to be on this list. Upon the discovery of these files, the White House issued an excuse claiming that the files were mistakenly requested by a White House employee working with an outdated list. They were called a simple «snafu.» Investigations into Filegate revealed that not a common White House worker but the President’s friend and close advisor, Anthony Marceca, had requested the files. When the presidency starts illegally compiling an enemies list it is a sure sign he is not fit to serve office and that, just maybe, a crime has been committed. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House’s Office of Personnel Security, had improperly requested, and received from the FBI in 1993 and 1994, background reports without asking permission of the subject individuals. Livingstone seemed to lack qualifications for even this position; he had worked on a number of Democratic Party campaigns and transitions, including being an advance man for the Clinton-​Gore 1992 campaign,[3] and his only prior job in the «security» field was that of a local bar bouncer at a Washington, D.C., night club .An FBI document suggested that Livingstone had been given his position because First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was a friend of Livingstone’s mother and recommended him. In 1999, Clinton gave a sworn statement that she had nothing to do with Livingstone’s hiring.[8] Livingstone also stated under oath there was no truth to the supposed hiring relationship.[8] Hillary Clinton would later refer to the whole files matter as a «pseudo scandal» while we won’t classify Hillary’s involvement here as a job, she certainly did nothing to make a situation better, and it’s rather obvious she helped make it worse.
U.S. Senator from New York: Senator Clinton voted against the two major tax cuts packages introduced by President Bush, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, saying it was fiscally irresponsible to reopen the budget deficit. At the 2000 Democratic National Convention, Clinton

Only EDM station left (Weekends only now) since Energy in the early to mid 2000’s
Okay, so the top 40 stations have their weekend night remixes starting at 10PM
(103.5 later on somewhere between midnight and 1AM),
but what used to be a regular all-​day, to weeknights only between 9PM-​5AM, has now been relegated to Friday through Sunday’s (7PM-​5AM).
For the Sirius Satellite subscribers, this is about as close to Channel 51 BPM as it gets with some songs not played on there.
i101(101.1) used to play dance music all day for a minute back in ’13, but was canned for what used to be on 88.7(alternative), which used to be 95.5(Smooth Jazz).
Luis 2Live — Is the best; sounds grown up like an adult and does not talk during the end or over the start of a song.
Long live Dance Factory Radio

So few stations like this. Norman Goldman is outstanding and could be a national sensation if radio wasn’t controlled by a few mega corporations. Thank’s WCPT for airing him.

The weekend shows are either hate or like. I don’t get why Dick Kay avoids any suburban GOP corruption topics. I know he lives in the boonies, but come on, you have mini Crudwells in every collar county.

if only there were more radio stations like this across the country to balance out all the garbage that is played nationwide. not that talk radio is everyone’s cup of tea.
liberal bias amongst the national media I think not! and to call NPR liberal is a stretch of the imagination IMHO.
thank you WCPT for being here in the great city of Chicago.

Every morning, I walk sleepily out to my car, about halfway there I start to speed up and hop in, immediately turning on 820 am. Hoping I don’t catch it at a commercial break.
Growing up listening to constant talk radio like WGN, NPR, The Loop (when it was all talk), wmaq, etc … I guess I have a thing for driving in cars listening to people yammer on.
A friend of mine works here, and finally I started listening to it a couple months ago. Now, it’s even on while I work.
This election has me all worked up, and I love that this not only inspires me but educates me on current liberal news. Not only that, it cracks me up — I have grown to love Stephanie Miller in the morning… she had to grow on me, but now I find myself parking my car in front of work and sitting an extra minute just to get a bit more in.

I like Air American, therefore I like 820AM.

LOVE THIS STATION! Well, at least «like it a lot.» Such a refreshing counterweight to the right-​wing lunatics on WLS (once upon a time a truly great Top 40, liberal-​leaning station) and WIND. My major complaint is that except for the recent addition of Chicago political expert Dick Kay to the weekend lineup, CPT is way short on local programming, and without local-​interest «stars» it can’t really make the dent it should be making in Chicago radio.
And yes, Randi Rhodes RULES! Ladies… on Friday afternoon do you listen along and bounce ‘em?

Progressive radio in Chicago! Love it almost universally!
They air Stepahnie Miller, Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartmann during the week on the radio machine and Mike Malloy via streaming after their normal daytime hours end.
Sam Seder and Ring of Fire (starring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mike Papantonio) on the weekends are all kinds of awesome!
My only complaint is Ed Schultz who turns me off completely.
If you’re tired of right-​wing tools, WCPT 820 is for you!

If I could give something a million stars, WCPT would be the recipient. I love this station and wish I had more time to listen. Their shows allow for actual debate, present the facts without distortion and their hosts aren’t there to just listen to themselves speak!
I am a huge Stephanie Miller fan too and glad they play her show every morning!
I just got word that they’re moving from AM 850 to AM 820 — just FYI.

WCPT has been on the air for a little over the air – its the Chicago outlet for Air America and a progressive/​liberal radio talk show venue.
I am VERY GRATEFUL for this station — we need more truth and less venom. The announcers on this station actually apologize and correct their errors if they say something erroneously!
Although much of the programming is from Air America (Mark Reilly, Rachel Maddow, Al Franken, Randi Rhodes to name a few), WCPT also contracts with Ed Schultz and Aaron Freeman for some other voices and flavors.
Very enlightening and these talk show personalities allow discussion and debate on their shows, unlike the conservatives who pre-​interview callers.
