1-19-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Someone Had to Document the Insanity with Tim Devine
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's a busy day in DC. The senate continues debating the voting rights package, as a vote is planned for this evening at 6:30ET. All indications are that the vote will fail, but the goal is to get everyone one the record as to where they stand, Manchin and Sinema included. There is a question about what it would take to change the filibuster back to a talking filibuster... but I guess we'll see how it plays out tonight. At 4pm ET, [...]
1-18-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Voting Rights Debated, Davos Man Grounded
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) This is the week that the world's richest and most powerful were supposed to park their private jets on crowded tarmacs in Switzerland to gather and compare their fortunes while snickering at the rest of us who fly commercial. But COVID spoiled their plans. So the Davos World Economic Forum for 2022 is a virtual gathering. But gather, they must, if only to compare notes on which of these billionaires' wealth increased the most under the pandemic. My guest today is Peter [...]
1-17-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Remember, Honor, Save & Protect with John Hall
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's Monday, January 17. It's Martin Luther King Jr Day. The irony is seeing all of the Republican assholes who continue voting against the Voting Rights Act Tweeting out MLK quotes and such today. The hypocrisy is deafening. It's also the 28th anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake -- the last big one in California, and I was there. I'll share my memories of that morning, and why I'm living on borrowed time. I really should have died during that quake! In the [...]
1-14-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Trying to Make Sense of it All with Helaine Olen
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) A change of plans today. If you were looking forward to John Hall's appearance on the show, we'll be rescheduling due to unforeseen circumstances. (How's that for cryptic? I'll explain during the show.) So, it's Friday, the end of another tough week for the Biden administration. Yesterday, I quoted Helaine Olen from a listserv we're on together, though I didn't name her. But the line I quoted was concerning Bidens falling poll numbers. Some of the list pointed the finger of blame at [...]
1-13-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) What a day! As I'm setting up for today's show, the number of breaking news stories keeps climbing, and it's a combination of good, bad and really ugly. The good? The head of the Oath Keepers and 10 others were arrested today and charged with seditious conspiracy. Finally. The bad? A lot falls under this category. Kevin McCarthy lied through his teeth at a presser this morning in which he reiterated that he will not cooperate with the House select committee investigating [...]
1-12-22 Nicole Sandler Show – The Privatization of Everything
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I had planned to deal with Biden's push for voting rights in the first half hour of the show. But I started talking about our guest coming up at the bottom of the hour, Donald Cohen. He's the founder and executive director of In The Public Interest, and his book titled The Privatization of Everything: How the Plunder of Public Goods Transformed America and How We Can Fight Back. That set me off on a rant about Medicare Advantage and how it's [...]
1-11-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Every Other Tuesday with GottaLaff
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's our first gathering with GottaLaff of the New Year and, as usual, there's no shortage of things to talk about. As is usually the case when Laffy's here, we'll likely laugh a lot, get angry, get a little sad, and laugh some more. All while talking about things in the news. Life is that way. Better to laugh at it than let it make you cry... The Marsh Family gave us a new production today! https://youtu.be/_ebjy9nP4lw https://youtu.be/iSLdfI3d3HE
1-10-22 Nicole Sandler Show – 117th Congress Part 2 Convenes
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Each session of Congress lasts two years. Today, the House returns to convene the second half of the 117th Congress. Unfortunately, the country is a mess, and the prospects for a complete turnaround aren't great. But we'll take today to bring us up to date on where they are and what they're doing... It's an anything goes Monday. Today, I shared a note from a listener, Patrick in Germany, who shared this note and the following video: I came across a short [...]
1-7-22 Nicole Sandler Show – One Week Down, Jeff Sharlet Returns
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We made it through the first week of 2022, but the country seems to be further divided than ever. And the other side is delusional, claiming that January 6, 2021 was just another day. We'll continue reviewing some of yesterday's madness on today's show, and then welcome Jeff Sharlet back to the show. Jeff is a Dartmouth professor, a journalist who got inside The Family (and C Street) and wrote two books, subsequently the basis of a Netflix docuseries about the religious organization [...]
1-6-22 Nicole Sandler Show – January 6 One Year Later -Thursday with Howie Klein
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) One year ago today, the nation watched in horror as insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. They had erected a gallows outside the building and were marauding through the Capitol hallways chanting "Hang Mike Pence," while others searched and menacingly called for Nancy Pelosi. I have a pretty good idea of what they would have done if they found either of them, and it's not pretty. There was a glimmer of hope once the building was cleared and Congress resumed certifying the electoral college [...]
