I don't know if the clip linked later in this thread is the one I saw, but I can confirm that he did appear on television. The clip was only about a minute, or less, and he brushed through things pretty quickly. About the MIC-9/11 he said the evidence is mounting that the M/IC thru intelligence agencies were behind 9/11 for the benefit of a small group of powerful politicians and corporations, the signs are there you can see the tyranny that is so close now, etc.
It's actually not terribly unusual to hear conspiracy theories on C-SPAN. Each morning from 7:00-10:00am Eastern they have "Washington Journal" which I really enjoy watching. This guy sits at a desk covered in newspapers, reading interesting articles, sometimes with guests, and taking calls - everyone from hardcore liberals, die-hard Bush fans, wacky out-there people like me. Most of the people calling to attempt to call attention to a conspiracy do so rather poorly, or just say "trust me....read David Icke" but that doesn't get anywhere. Or people that call and point out the Pentagon inconsistencies on 9/11. The guest usually doesn't consider these calls worthwhile. And of course there's enough people who call claiming that there's a Jewish conspiracy (not select members of Zionists, just all Jews) to allow anything out of the ordinary to be lumped together with those calls.
Now what would be really interesting is to have Jones or Icke or someone like that on Washington Journal for an hour taking calls and going through some of the real evidence and factual points. C-SPAN truly is amazing for how many viewpoints it shows (as opposed to the "fair & Balanced" Fox News), but even on C-SPAN I think they'd shy away from real look at conspiracies.
