Democracy with Jamie Raskin on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-18-24

 The 2024 presidential election is in full swing. My husband David and I were fortunate enough to be at a Biden-Harris event in Tempe, AZ yesterday where the featured speaker was our favorite member of Congress, Jamie Raskin.I hope to have him on the show sometime soon for a real interview, but we got to say hello, shake his hand, take a photo and hear him speak for about 30 minutes. It was one of the best political speeches I've ever attended, and he did it extemporaneously - no notes, no teleprompter. Just his quick wit and brilliant mind.I started [...]

Emptywheel Friday SOTU Edition on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-8-24

       I always look forward to Fridays for the obvious reasons: the weekend and emptywheel.net's Marcy Wheeler! Marcy  and I have a standing date every Friday to discuss the week's happenings in Trump Trial and other national security and other news of importance. Today we speak on the morning after President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, likely the last time before the convention that he'll have the opportunity to speak to the nation and the world. My quick review? He hit it out of the park, exactly what we needed at this juncture. Marcy Wheeler [...]

  View on Zencastr Right click & save as to download and save the podcast Will Bunch regularly writes columns for the Philadelphia Inquirer that you should read. But he knocked one out of the park this week with the one headlined, "Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America". (If the paywall caught you, scroll down to below the video of today's show) Will joins me at the bottom of the hour for a much needed dialog. But first, some good news to share, along with some not-so-good news too and an important milestone in my [...]

10-18-21 Nicole Sandler Show – My Conversation with Anita Hill

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) On October 11, 1991, Anita Hill testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee (made up of only White Men), at Clarence Thomas' Supreme Court confirmation hearing, and changed the world. Unfortunately, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Almost thirty years later, Christine Blasey Ford testified at the Supreme Court confirmation hearing of another justice who doesn't belong on the highest court in the land, Brett Kavanaugh. I had the honor of interviewing Anita Hill today, and it was a pleasure. [...]

6-9-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Our Precarious Voting Rights with Ari Berman

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     Our right to vote is hanging by a thread. That thread is somehow controlled by the GOP and Sen Joe Manchin, despite the fact that the Democrats control both houses of Congress and the Oval Office. Mother Jones' Ari Berman has been writing about the Republican party's assault on voting rights for many years. His latest article is the cover story of the current issue, "Jim Crow Killed Voting Rights for Generations. Now the GOP is Repeating History". Ari is my [...]

3-30-21 Nicole Sandler Show – FDR, LBJ, JOE? with Harvey J. Kaye

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     I'm not usually happy to be proven wrong, but in this case I'm thrilled. I was wrong about Joe Biden when I fought against his nomination. I was judging him based on his decades of history as a centrist to conservative Democrat when we needed a truly bold progressive. Now, 70 days or so into the Biden administration, I'm watching the most progressive president implementing the most progressive programs since LBJ's Great Society. Today, we'll find out if our old friend [...]

5-22-20 Nicole Sandler Show – How Democrats Can Win- Advice from a Former Progressive Governor

Download here or click below to play     It's Friday! We've arrived at the end of another week of quarantining and social distancing. The media and the public are focused on the coronavirus... while the days until election day tick away. After our usual first half-hour business of the latest news, something funny and perhaps a bit of outrage, we're joined again by Don Siegelman, the former Democratic Governor of Alabama, who was targeted by Karl Rove and prosecuted on trumped up bribery charges and sent to prison. His new book about his ordeal, "Stealing Our Democracy" is due [...]

4-30-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Another Thursday in Quarantine with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play     I believe this is the fifth Thursday since I've been isolating at home here in Florida. Howie Klein is in California, where their stay-at-home orders started a week or two earlier. It's not fun, but it's certainly better than catching COVID-19 and definitely better than dying from it! There are still primary races going on, even though no one is sure when or how to vote. But today, I'll ask Howie to run down the list of PROGRESSIVE Congressional and Senatorial candidates who still need our votes. But first, a rant [...]

4-15-20 Nicole Sandler Show – Getting Personal with Jeff Sharlet

Download here or click below to play   After Bernie Sanders dropped his presidential bid last week, I read a perfectly-pitched rant from author/journalist/college professor Jeff Sharlet that articulated much of what I was feeling. I didn't have time to read the whole thing on the show today, so here it is, as Jeff wrote it on Facebook I had been meaning to invite Jeff Sharlet back to the show to discuss his new book, This Brilliant Darkness anyway-- so we'll discuss all of that and much more today! As usual, we start the show with something funny, and bring [...]

4-9-20 Nicole Sandler Show – After Bernie Thursday with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play   I had a feeling this day was coming... well, it was yesterday, actually, that Bernie Sanders ended his campaign. Logically, it was the right thing to do. Ideologically and righteously, not so much. I'm still grappling with my feelings about it, and will explain why I went ballistic on my former colleague who called in to the show yesterday, before dealing with today's news. And, of course, it's Thursday, so Howie Klein will explain why he will not vote for Joe Biden. Nothing is simple any more... I played a couple of [...]
