Mondays are inevitable. Sadly, in recent weeks, the news on Mondays has been tragic and today is no exception.
We’re still reeling from the spectacle in the Oval Office on Friday and coming to terms with the fact that the man occupying the White House has aligned us with Russia over our allies in Europe.
And as further proof that Dump is trying to crash the economy, the stock market took a huge dump today after the orange thing announced that his 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada would go into effect tomorrow.
Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com will be along to talk about the shit show.
I’ll start the show with what might be my favorite song parody from the Marsh Family. They turned “Puppets on a Kremlin String” around in about 24 hours. It’s the perfect commentary on what we witnessed on Friday that we wish would have never happened…
I also shared excerpts from a couple of substack newsletters on today’s show, and promised I’d link them here.
It was this one from Heather Cox Richardson and this one from Robert Hubbell. You can subscribe to both of them for free, and they’re both worth your time!
I also mentioned that on Wednesday, I’ll be talking with Craig Unger who appeared on my show on January 27, 2021 to discuss his then-new book American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power and Treachery. You can listen to that interview at nicolesandler.com/1-27-21 or watch the video of that show, also embedded on that page.
Tomorrow, Jason Leopold (the FOIA Master) is my guest. We recorded this interview on Thursday of last week, so before the oval office mess… but there’s lots of stuff that Jason will tell you about that you need to hear. I’ll be at the cardiologist undergoing a stress test, but it’s a new show and a new interview, and I hope you’ll listen.
Here’s today’s show via YouTube…
