"Blonde on Blonde"

Alan Colmes is back on Blonde on Blonde! Deirdre and Alan both had to make a case for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s candidacy. Neither could do it. Imus then forced them to picture a naked Karl Rove, making things uglier than they already were.

Sen. John McCain on Presidential Campaign

John McCain entered the Naval Academy in June of 1954. He served in the United States Navy until 1981.  He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982 and elected to the United States Senate in 1986.  He was the Republican Party’s nominee for president in the 2008 election.  He currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services.

Bill Cowan Talks Trump

Bill Cowan is a FOX News Channel contributor and internationally acknowledged expert in the areas of terrorism, homeland security, intelligence and military special operations.  A retired Marine Corps officer, Cowan spent three-and-a-half years on combat assignments in Vietnam.  In the 1980s, he was specially selected to serve as one of the first members and as the only Marine in the Pentagon's most classified counter-terrorist unit, the Intelligence Support Activity (ISA), a unit that to this date remains under the tightest security.

While there, Cowan served as a senior military operations officer and field operative on covert missions to the Middle East, Europe and Latin America.  Following retirement from the Marine Corps in 1985, he served two years on the staff of U.S. Sen. Warren B. Rudman as a legislative assistant and as the senator's primary staff assistant during the Iran/Contra hearings.  From 1989 through 1994, Cowan was again involved in numerous operations in the Middle East in response to terrorist incidents and the holding of Western hostages in Beirut and Kuwait.

In 1990, on behalf of a major New York law firm and working with former CIA Director Bill Colby, he organized and successfully conducted a series of operations resulting in the repatriation of a number of Western hostages from Iraqi-occupied Kuwait.

Cowan was directly involved in every facet of the Beirut hostages drama, including international negotiations leading to their release in 1991. He subsequently organized and participated in a number of successful rescues of children kidnapped from the U.S. by foreign-born parents.

In addition to being a FOX News Channel contributor, Cowan has been an invited guest on CBS's 60 Minutes; CNN's Larry King Live and Crossfire; ABC's Prime Time and 20/20; PBS's Frontline; and BBC's Panorama. He is also the principal subject of a Discovery Channel segment about the Kuwait hostage rescue operation.  Cowan has published editorials in The Washington Post, and has been a contributing columnist to local newspapers in Virginia and California.  He is a co-founder of the WVC3 Group, a company providing homeland security services, support and technologies to government and commercial clients.

Bernie & Sid

Bernard J. McGuirk is the executive producer of the Imus in the Morning radio program. He was born and raised in the South Bronx, New York, where he worked in his younger years as a taxi driver.

Sid Rosenberg is a radio personality and the former morning host of WMEN-640 AM.  Rosenberg is known for his controversial and sarcastic humor as a host on many radio stations including, WAXY "790 The Ticket" in Miami, where he hosted his own morning show.  He originally was paired with O.J. McDuffie, formerly a wide receiver with the Miami Dolphins; McDuffie resigned his position with the station in the summer of 2006.

Rosenberg's self-given jokingly middle name "Arthur" is a reference to former baseball player Dave Kingman. When Hall of Fame sportscaster Bob Murphy gave the lineups for the New York Mets, he would always give Kingman's name as "David Arthur Kingman"; Rosenberg continues this running gag on the Sports Guys by using Arthur as everybody's middle name.

His radio career started in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he hosted the syndicated sports radio program The Drive on Sports Fan Radio Network in the late 1990s, after starting as an Internet broadcast. In 2000, he moved to New York City to co-host WNEW-FM's turbulent morning show, the Sports Guys. A year later, he joined the Imus in the Morning program. He shared the sports broadcasting duties with Warner Wolf before becoming the full-time sports reporter. He engaged in heated half-mock, half-serious disputes with the other members of the Imus cast, leading for example to an actual boxing bout with producer Bernard McGuirk.  Several months after joining the Imus show, he became the co-host of the midday show on Imus' flagship station, WFAN. Here, his strong knowledge of sports and distinctive, high-pitched Brooklyn accent served him well. He would hold both broadcasting positions until 2005. For several years, he also hosted the radio pre-game shows for New York Giants home games.

Bernard Goldberg Talks Politics

Bernard Goldberg, the television news reporter and author of Bias, a New York Times number one bestseller about how the media distort the news, is widely seen as one of the most original writers and thinkers in broadcast journalism.  He has covered stories all over the world for CBS News and has won 12 Emmy awards for excellence in journalism.  He won six Emmys at CBS, and six more at HBO, where he now reports for the widely acclaimed broadcast Real Sports.

In addition to his ground-breaking book Bias, Goldberg has written four other books on the media and American culture — Arrogance, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: (And Al Franken is #37), Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right, and A Slobbering Love Affair, about the news media’s romance with Barack Obama.  All  have all been New York Times bestsellers.

In 2006 Bernie won the most prestigious of all broadcast journalism awards, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award (considered the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize), for an HBO story about young, poor boys  who were sold or kidnapped into slavery and were forced to risk their lives as camel jockeys in the United Arab Emirates, one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

In 2012, Bernie was honored again with another duPont, this time for a groundbreaking body of work on the effects of head trauma on athletes.

Bernie has reported extensively, both at HBO and at CBS News, on the transformation of the American culture.  At HBO, in the fall of 2000, he wrote the Emmy award winning documentary Do You Believe In Miracles, the dramatic story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team and the most famous hockey game ever — the game between the United States and the Soviet Union that revitalized the American spirit and helped bring America out of the malaise it had suffered though much of the 1970s.

At CBS, he anchored two prime-time documentaries about how the American landscape was changing.  Don’t Blame Me showed how the United States was becoming a nation of finger-pointers whose citizens more and more were refusing to accept responsibility for their actions.   In Your Face, America was an hour-long report about the coarsening of America, about how vulgar and uncivil our popular culture was becoming.

Bernie has written op-ed pieces that appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, about a wide range of subjects, including baseball, manners, and journalism.

He is also a news and media analyst for Fox News where he comments regularly on the state of the press and television news as well as on politics and culture for the network’s top rated program, The O’Reilly Factor.

He is a graduate of Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey and a member of the school’s Hall of Distinguished Alumni
