9-18-19 Nicole Sandler Show – Climate Week is Here and Bibi May Be Out

Israel went to the polls yesterday, and the race is too close to call. But it looks like Bibi will be out as Prime Minister of Israel after 5 terms. Nicole called a hotel in Tel Aviv to connect with an Israeli citizen to get their thoughts on the news. Click on the link for the Trip Adviser page for The Vera hotel. If I ever get there and can afford $265 a night, that's where I'll stay! Then we turn our attention to Climate Week and this Friday's Global Climate Strike, which kicks it all off. 350.org's North [...]

Working for a Living… or Not

Just how much constitutes a living wage? Minimum wage certainly doesn't cut it. Since 2009, the federal minimum wage has stood at $7.25 an hour - though some states pay less and a few paid more. But if you were paid the federal minimum and were lucky enough to get 40 hours of work a week, you'd gross a whopping $290 for that week's work... and if you never took a day off, you'd gross an annual income of $15,080. For a family of two, that qualifies you as earning less than the federal poverty limit. In a nutshell, corporations [...]

Dueling Hearings and Day 71 of the Worst Environmental Disaster in History

And General Petraeus was at his own hearing, getting confirmed by the Senate Armed Service Committee as the next commander of U.S. and foreign forces in Afghanistan. We played a bit of "Dueling Hearings" on tonight's show in between interviews. It was an interesting collection of guests tonight. Billy Hayes, the guy on whose story the 1978 film "Midnight Express" was based [...]

Guests Galore!

What a difference a day makes! Although I'm not 100% yet, I am feeling much better today. And it's a good thing, because it was a very busy show tonight... We started with comedian Jamie Kilstein who, along with Allison Kilkenny hosts Citizen Radio. Jamie has a new CD out, called Zombie Jesus... It had been a while since I last spoke with Congressman Dennis Kucinich. He joined me tonight to talk about the wars and what it'll take to end them, health care reform and why he voted the way he did, financial reform, and more... If you happen [...]
