Bernie Sanders - The Nicole Sandler Show

7-4-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Best of 4th Of July with Siegelman, Sanders & Teachout Too

Happy Independence Day! Nicole is taking the day off, preparing for tomorrow's big official launch of the new studios and Randi Rhodes' return! On today's Best Of program, we go back to Sept 26, 2014 for a conversation with Bernie Sanders as he was still deciding whether or not to launch his bid for the presidency August 8, 2014 with Zephyr Teachout as she was taking on NY Gov Andrew Cuomo in a primary challenge. Teachout just won her primary to be the Democratic nominee running for Congress from NY-19 on Nov 8! August 21, 2012 for a conversation with [...]

6-30-16 Nicole Sandler Show – The Politics of Politics

On today's show, we continued the discussion about the way forward for the political revolution that Bernie Sanders has so amazingly, energetically, passionately and historically led for the past year or so. It must evolve. The question is what form it will take. After a frustrating Twitter conversation last night - 140 characters at a time is no way to discuss politics - I invited listener Kim to call in to today's show to talk things through. The point of contention was the vitriol with which many Sanders supporters now regard Elizabeth Warren. I won't try to paraphrase here [...]

6-29-16 Nicole Sandler Show – All Or Nothing?

I'm conflicted, in case I haven't already made that clear. As I wrote earlier this morning when introducing Mimi Kennedy's guest post, I can't imagine myself voting for Hillary Clinton for president, but even more inconceivable to me is the idea of a Donald Trump presidency! The good news is that I still have about five months before I have to decide what I'll do come election day. This is the time for looking at the big picture, which is what Bernie Sanders did in an op-ed for the NY Times titled "Democrats Need to Wake Up." I read the [...]

Words of Wisdom from Actress, Activist and Author Mimi Kennedy

As this nation has been reeling from the most surreal election season in my lifetime, I've been involved in numerous discussions - both on and off the air - about election integrity. I was included on a small email list of EI activists in a discussion about the way forward. As my regular listeners know, I'm very conflicted. I can't fathom ever pulling the lever for Hillary Clinton, but the thought of a Donald Trump presidency scares me to my core. After seeing the early reverberations of Brexit, I'm even more nervous about what such an American mistake would portend. [...]

6-10-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Election Integrity – Fact or Fraud with Fitrakis

There's something fishy in California, where there are still somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5 million outstanding votes not yet counted, and there were many millions more who complained that they were either purged from the voter roles, their ballots had no presidential choices or encountered other issues and were given provisional ballots, not knowing when or even if their votes will be counted. Welcome to the voting system in "the greatest nation in the world™"! On March 27, two election integrity activist attorneys from Ohio participated in an event with the Institute for American Democracy and Election [...]

Bittersweet

Many of us can do two things at the same time, like, say, walk and chew gum. It takes practice, but we've managed to master that skill. So it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that we Bernie supporters can celebrate that a woman, for the first time ever, is our presidential nominee while still disagreeing with her policies. Yes, like it or not, Hillary Clinton is the presumptive Democratic nominee; a woman can finally claim that victory and that's a 'uuuuge deal. While I've never been an identity voter or even a single issue voter, I fully and enthusiastically acknowledge [...]

5-25-16 Nicole Sandler Show – FloriDUH Follies

Today, Nicole Sandler invites her listeners down to the swampy southland known as Florida (FloriDUH to most of us). Deborah Newell joins in for our weekly segment poking fun at FloriDUH, Sanders delegate to the DNC from Palm Beach County, Hillary Keyes, will fill us in on the process and what happens next. And Nicole pulls out a blast from the past - a 2007 interview with Debbie Wasserman Schultz to show how long she's been at odds with the (soon to be former?) DNC Chair.

5-24-16 Nicole Sandler Show – What Happens In Vegas…

What happened in Vegas...is very different from what you're being told. We must take back the narrative from the media and the DNC. Today, Nicole Sandler welcomes Angie Morelli to the show. Angie was on the floor at the NV Democratic Convention, and has been speaking out against the lies. Plus David Dayen explains the story of the foreclosure fraud judgement against Bank of America being overturned by an appeals court, and Dave Johnson joined in to talk about Obama, Vietnam and the TPP, and the new overtime rules too.

5-20-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Counting Pre-Hatched Chickens

Nicole Sandler reacts to Hillary Clinton's assertion that she "will be the nominee for my party, that is already done in effect, there is no way that I won't be" and invites listeners to weigh. In the first hour, Portia Boulger of Women for Bernie and an At-Large Delegate to the DNC returns. In hour two Sean Shealy explains why he posted a story all about Bill Clinton’s ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and why he believes that story will be the basis of Trump’s attacks on Hillary.
