It's caucus day in Iowa, and the 2016 presidential race is officially on. Today, Nicole talks about the campaigns with media trainer/strategist Joel Silberman; FOIA Master Jason Leopold of Vice News explains what's really going on with Hillary Clinton's emails (he filed the FOIA request responsible for the email release in the first place); and comedian Jimmy Tingle is running for President on the Humor for Humanity ticket, and joins us from New Hampshire.
Nicole Sandler follows logic down the rabbit hole today as she recaps some of last night's final GOP debate before the Iowa Caucuses on Wednesday, Donald Trump's hypocrisy on veterans and more. And for Flashback Friday, Nicole unearthed her 2-17-10 interview with Jackson Browne, recorded on a visit to LA...

Howie Klein joins for hour two, and introduces us to the latest Blue America-endorsed congressional candidates. And Neil Degrasse Tyson takes on the Flat Earth Society.

We also learned to pronouce [...]

We also discussed some Florida issues - including next Tuesday's of the legislative session and the Awake the State rallies planned statewide that day. Find the one closest to you and attend. (I'll be speaking at the one in [...]
This morning we began yet another new year of shows in which we examine what's happening and try to figure it all out. Today, I was joined by Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. We talked about his trip to the Yucutan and his visits with the Mayan people who told him that it's only the calendar that ends in December, not the world! We also discussed the DCCC, the NDAA (and my questions to Debbie Wasserman Schultz about it on the Randi Rhodes Show on Friday), and the upcoming elections and the need to [...]
