Well, its a really great honor to be here and to be back in new york. Were on a 100city tour for the 20th anniversary of democracy now . And i also want to shout out to my colleagues, norman and dena and aaron over there in the back and the volunteers and the interns who are helping out. Democracy now is a joint effort, a joint project, a brain trust, a Remarkable Group of reporters and producers and videographers for the last 20 years. We didnt think it would go past nine months. It was the only election broadcast in 1996. I was asked to do the show when i was in a safe house in haiti and the first coupe. People who announced for office could be gunned down.

She talks about some of the stories over the past 20 years. Brian amy goodman, 20 years of democracy now. You say going to where the silence is your motto.

Are not a fringe minority. Not even a silent majority. But the silenced majority, silenced by the corporate immediate, which is why we have to take it back. Brian 20 years ago in february, we had you as a guest on our morning show. Heres a clip four days after you started democracy now. [video clip] got to ask about this piece. Why liberals find talk radio so threatening. Youre a talk show host and not a conservative. Amy thats right. We just started a show this week called democracy now, which is the only grassroot daily election show. Bringing the voice of the grassroot into the National Political discourse. I havent read the article. I find talk radio i dont get to hear a lot of talk radio because im doing a lot myself.
