On Sunday we'll look at the complicated relationship between the U.S. and China, with a focus on dissident Chen Guancheng, who escaped from house arrest and fled to the U.S. embassy in Bejing earlier this week. We'll also discuss the Dodd/Frank Act, which was signed into law two years ago and hailed as the most comprehensive financial reform bill since the Great Depression. Chris and his guests will look at how the bill is being undermined in its enforcement and the rule-making process. Plus, we'll talk about former EPA regional administrator Alfredo Juan Armendariz who was forced out of his job by Republicans for being too tough on law-breakers. Chris will be joined by these guests:
Eric Schneiderman (@agschneiderman), New York attorney general and co-chair of the Mortgage Crisis Unit and Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.
Raj Date, deputy director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (@CFPB).
Catherine Rampell (@crampell), economics reporter for the The New York Times.
Alexis Goldstein (@alexisgoldstein), former Wall Street information technologist and member of Occupy the SEC.
James Fallows (@jamesfallows), national correspondent for The Atlantic and author of China Airborne.
David Frum (@davidfrum), former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and contributing editor for Newsweek/Daily Beast.
Ann Lee (@annleesays), senior fellow at Demos and author of What the U.S. Can Learn from China.

I don't know if it's a legal/copyright thing, but waiting for shows to come online in the PST is so incredibly annoying. You get way better metrics from online viewing, meaning ad revenue, and it also means a tighter integration into social media. For tech heavy households such as mine having to wait a few hours to see content online pulls us out of immediate conversation. Telling your west coast viewers that they can see what everyone on the east coast is talking about leaves you three hours out of the conversation. Why is there a time delay? My monitors and displays EMIT light. I don't need to milk cows or anything. I want relevant data as soon as it exists. Waiting 3 hours for the sun to rise so I can stream data is just stupid.
While I understand (and indeed, share) your frustration, I think that you are likely correct that it is a "legal thing".
I would be surprised if the "network" could stream the show in a region that was due to "air" it in the next couple hours, prior to the "air time". That would leave the "local stations" at a disadvantage when competing for advertising dollars. Particularly those prized "local ad slots".
I agree, in this day-and-age it seems an out-dated concern, but I would be willing to bet that it is exactly what stops them from releasing the stream as soon as the show has been recorded.
Imagine the poor guy on the east coast who didn't get up early enough to catch the show. He has to wait until our air time, in order to watch it online.
What I'm saying is that if you want to monetize the youth market, you'd livestream your content, have a social aspect, like a chatroom (volume management of comments needs to be considered) or something, throw in the occasional ad break to get some eyeballs, and get an enthusiastic audience engaged with each other chatting about the content. People won't be going off to other blogs to chat about what they saw on your show, their eyeballs will be right here. You will have people yelling at each other for hours and hours while you serve them ads. And I won't have to wait three friggin hours to catch up with the DC and NY crowds.
In conclusion, it's 2012, we have internets, and timezones are stupid.
I would really like to see a cable news show tackle "The Economic Growth Paradigm". Bill Moyers has taken a stab at it, but UP has a better platform IMHO. Guests like Noam, Michael Albert, Steve Keen, Chris Martenson, Richard Heinberg, Herman Daily, Kunstler, etc...
Most of the issues Chris takes on could be underpinned by the current economic need for growth. His favorite topic, climate change, really can't be solved without looking at growth and consumerism. Just sayin'?!
I support this idea. This economic level is only sustainable with increasing debt and the depletion of natural resources esp. oil.
Hayes thinks he just a little smarter than the rest of us.
His is the a-typical Manhattan elitist liberal/socialist. He thinks it is okay for the 99%'ers to occupy private property.
He thinks it is wrong to put people in jail that fraudulently get welfare.
Blames wall street for people buying homes they can not afford the payments on.
Has guest like whats her name the union leader for the teachers union, anyway she makes $350,000 a year, yet tells the US we need to pay teachers more, no kidding so she can get a nice raise.
Unions are one of the reason this country is in a mess right now.
Stupid(ita),
I'm pretty sure Mr. Hayes KNOWS he's A LOT smarter than you.
Just sayin'
China paid for the American war in Iraq...how much do we owe them or will they forgive the debt...We need to get China to send doctors to help us speed up our appointments with returned vets who have mental health problems before they commit suicide and or kill their neighbors- family members or join our Vietnam vets sleeping on the street.
Your subjects are becoming more and more esoteric. People in the US do not have much interest that one disident in a nation of a billion people has a problem with his government. MY GOD HOW MANY AMERICANS ARE BEING RUN OVER BY BANKS AND MORTGAGE SERVICERS...like Nationstar and you ignore them for the issue of this man. What if Belgium came over here and said we do not like the way voters are being kept from voting by unnecessary
laws about ID's and Obama was at fault. We have MORE than enough people being wronged by police spraying pepper gas in the eyes of peaceful protest..we have Nazi's like the one in AZ and ILL ...my God how can you ignore the obvious?????? Back to CSPAN
Alexis Goldstien is moron. Funny none of these people are talking about Glass-Steagall.
Or the fact Bush wanted to put fannie & freddy under the Fed, and barne yloves franks said "I want to roll the dice" that was in 2003.
But the liberals tell us it was Bush and the republicans fault.
"Alexis Goldstien is moron."
The irony is mind-boggling!
Hissy fit!!!!! and you teach English!!!!
1st the Romain's did not go into towns and crucify the 1st 5 people they saw.
Why don't you have that Mike Daisey back on or show? I mean you made him out be this holy man exposing the evils of Apple to the world.
Seriously, is English your second language?
Or, do you simply not care that you sound functionally illiterate?
Another bold and interesting show: Where else can you see people saying bureaucrats should be paid more.
It is interesting, but not surprising, that Chris's critics started calling him a socialist and elitist after yesterday's show.
Tom Frank wrote a great book discussing the dismantling of the regulatory framework called "Wrecking Crew".
I noticed that the political right (weekday cable shows) has been again going after the occupy movement. It looks the right has what experts are calling "occupy envy" (kidding). It is a condition (like the more famous Freudian issue), when you envy genuine grassroots movements (i.e. not sponsored by rich brothers inheritance).
chris asked Mr. Date several direct and good question- which Mr. Date then proceeded to ignore and not answer- chris- then just let it go- why?
Mr. Hayes,
Love you and your show, but I cannot take the commercials. More specifically, the scheduling of the commercials.
It seems like you get to exchange just 3-4 rather pithy sentences with your guests and then you have to break for a long time.
The flow is completely destroyed. Couldn't you work with NBCU mgmt to go to a different schedule, such as just running a big block of commercials every 15 minutes?
Because the way it is, I just can't take it. At least at night when Rachel and Lawrence do it, I've already had a beer.
I guess the alternative is to Tivo it and then FF through the commercials.
Regards from Kensington, MD.
