5-11-21 Nicole Sandler Show- Democracy Doomed with David Atkins
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I've been trying to stay optimistic now that the former guy is gone from the White House, and the current occupant is exceeding my expectations, but reality keeps getting in the way. More accurately, Republicans are in the way. Today's Republicans have no morality, no sense of fairness. It seems their mantra was well-learned from the orange one himself: lie, cheat and steal... win, no matter the cost. The Senate Rules Committee is marking up the For the People Act today, [...]
5-10-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Monday Media & Marijuana Madness
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Today, I'll follow up on our conversation from last week with Tim Karr of FreePress.net. It had been a while since I spoke about Net Neutrality on the show, as it appeared that not much was happening. Well, that changed a few days ago with a story about big ISP's (ie Comcast) flooding the FCC with FAKE comments about the proposed rules. I'll speak with Evan Greer of Fight for the Future, who's been fighting that battle for over a decade. [...]
5-7-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Stephanie Kelton Explains That We CAN Have Nice Things
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Now that the Democrats are back in control in DC, the Republicans are once again screaming about the national debt and deficit, things they weren't even slightly concerned with when their party held the majorities and they spent like the proverbial drunken sailors. So, I once again called on MMT expert and author of The Deficit Myth: Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People's Economy, Stephanie Kelton. As a thank you to Stephanie for appearing on the show and teaching [...]

5-5-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Facebook, Trump and our Broken Media
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Facebook's Oversight Board today announced that Donald Trump's suspension will continue for the next six months, after which time, we do this again, perhaps? Tim Karr of FreePress.net joins us at the top of the show to help unpack what this means. While we have Tim, we'll get an update on other issues we used to cover extensively like net neutrality and the FCC. Needless to say, there's a lot to talk about! I did share a few funnies from our friends [...]

5-4-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Gimme Some Truth, FOIA Style with Jason Leopold
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Jason Leopold was dubbed “the FOIA Terrorist” by the Bush Administration, and the name stuck because Jason appropriated it! He utilizes FOIA better and more effectively than anyone else in the news business. I had scheduled Jason to join us today because it had been a while since we’d spoken, and was pleasantly surprised to awaken this morning to a new scoop from Jason and his FOIA prowess. Today is May 4 -- as in May the Fourth... and Shirley Serban made [...]
5-3-21 Nicole Sandler Show – WTFloriDUH and lots more
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) Florida's 2021 legislative session ended this weekend, and it's worse than you could have imagined. I'll speak with the best political reporter in the state, Jim DeFede, about the latest right wing assault on our state. There are a few other stories we'll hit on today too, like Trump's gaslighting of America, inconceivably, continuing. And May 3 is a special day. I'll explain that too. I promised I'd link to Jim DeFede's reporting on Centner Academy. Here you go: I did [...]
4-30-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Progressive Professor Rates Potus Performance with Harvey J Kaye
Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I guess I'm grading on a curve after the former guy. Can you really blame me? Today, I'm joined by Harvey J. Kaye, professor emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UW Green Bay. Perhaps I've been giving Biden some extra benefit of the doubt after the traumatic four years we barely survived, but I am a bit distressed that so many of my progressive pals are using the progressive purity test to measure how he's doing. Anyway, Harvey J. Kaye [...]
