6-1-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Was it a great deal? No. But did the Dems come out ahead of the Republicans? Without a doubt. Well, that's my take. As for what Howie Klein thinks? We'll find out today. You never know with Howie. One of the things I'll ask him about today is his post at Down With Tyranny in which he basically says that the three members of Congress vying to replace Dianne Feinstein in the Senate -- Katie Porter, Barbara Lee and Adam Schiff -- [...]

5-31-23 Nicole Sandler Show – David Dayen and the Debt Ceiling Dance Deja Vu

  https://redirect.zencastr.com/r/episode/6477d83155545819566d427b/audio-files/5e0cc41aa9798f001400ff98/e8b7ac55-e4f9-42c5-9f2c-a583dbe04d76.mp3     The House today is voting on the Biden-McCarthy deal to raise the ridiculous debt ceiling. David Dayen of The American Prospect returns to the show today to bring us up to date on what's happening and how we got here. I call it a deja vu because we've had this conversation before -- 12 years ago, in fact. On July28, 2011, we talked on this program about President Obama's deal with a Republican-led Congress, the first time the GOP weaponized this ridiculous provision that allows the good faith and credit of the US to be threatened. [...]

It's been a few years since we've dealt with this unnecessary crisis, but because the Democrats control the White House but the House is controlled by a magaT contingent intent on blowing up [...]

1-16-23 Nicole Sandler Show – MLK Day, and Debt Ceiling Deja Vu Again

I'll explain when I start the show live, as usual, at 5ET/2PT. We'll talk a bit about the holiday and the right's hypocrisy and selective use of one singular quote from Dr. King, as if it's the only thing he ever said... Then, we'll see how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I [...]

10-8-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Dodging Republican Bullets with Digby

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We made it to the end of another fucked up week. As bad as last week was, this one was possibly worse. No end in sight to the break within the Democratic Party. As Bernie Sanders summed it up so well, two senators have the right to disagree with the other 48 in the caucus. They have the right to some compromise, but they don't have the right to derail the agenda favored by the other 48 members along with the vast majority [...]

10-7-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein as McConnell Blinks

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   We dodged a bullet this week, but just barely, and only temporarily. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is playing a dangerous game while accusing the Democrats of politicizing everything when he's the guy actually politicizing everything. That's what they do. It's classic projection. They engage in heinous, often illegal behaviors but accuse the Democrats of doing what they themselves are guilty of. It what I call "Opposite World". We're experiencing it happening in real time and there's seemingly nothing we can do [...]

10-5-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Mint The Coin with Rohan Grey

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   We're less than two weeks away from hitting the debt ceiling, an unnecessary risk especially during a historically precarious time. But here we are. Writing in a Washington Post Op-Ed, Zachary D. Carter (who was on this show just last week), said of this situation, "There is no economic rationale for this threat, and its consummation promises no political advantage to anyone. It is a preposterous, silly and breathtakingly dangerous situation." So he proposed meeting it with an equally "preposterous, silly and [...]

9-27-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Holding the Crooks Accountable with Jennifer Taub

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   It's Monday, the start of what will be a busy and consequential week on Capitol Hill. It's a sausage-making festival, and won't be fun to watch. But there's so much on the line. Running concurrent to what the legislators are doing is an investigation into the former guy and his minions who've been working to overturn a free and fair election, thus undermining our entire democracy. Sadly the latter is getting very little serious attention. Last week, we saw a six-point plan [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) The old adage goes "Democrats, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." Sadly it becomes more true with each passing day. But everything is on the line right now. And if the Congressional Democrats can't get the president's signature Build Back Better plan passed, it's our own fault. Today, we'll review what's going on and where we are right now. I'll also explain some of the other things that slipping through our fingers, and why. And we'll open the phones too for your [...]
