Emptywheel Fridays on the Nicole Sandler Show – 7-19-24

    I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. Thank Dog it's Friday so we can stick a fork in this week. But another one is coming right behind this one with plenty more shit to be stirred. At least have this hour each week to get together with Marcy Wheeler, independent journalist at emptywheel.net, to dissect the events of the week. To day this was a busy one is a huge understatement. It was a smorgasbord on insanity that included an attempted Trump assassination, Judge Aileen Cannon tossing the entire Stolen Documents case including the indictment, the Republican [...]

Florida embracing progressives! Who'd have thunk it? Tonight, the first ever virtual political convention comes to a close after Joe Biden is officially nominated. We'll begin with [...]

8-19-20 Nicole Sandler Show – An Unconventional Convention

Download here or click below to play   We're halfway through the first virtual political convention as the nation is still hobbled by the coronavirus. It just might change the way we do these things from here on out. Hopefully. On today's show, we'll hear some highlights from the first two nights. As usual, we'll have the latest news-- including what's happening with the US Postal Service. I'm joined by LCDR Greg Keeley, a veteran, and president of The Council on American Security, who explains that his meds are now 12 days late and counting, thanks to the USPS sabotage. [...]

7-29-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Reality Check

  Friday's show is now posted. Sorry for the delay. I'm juggling a lot of  balls these days. Julianna Forlano joined in during the first hour, helping me recap the Democratic National Convention. Although the speech by Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim soldier killed while fighting for the US, was certainly the most amazing moment of the convention... I still marvel at the brilliance of Rev. Dr. William Barber. I hope every hypocritical Republican who claims to have the moral high ground got to hear him. I spoke with a couple of Bernie delegates, including my attorney Bruce [...]

7-27-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Black and White World

  Yesterday, I talked about working out the conflicts of our inner voices, though some people thought I "went too far." Others thanked me for being "spot on." All I know is all I know. Today, it's that the world continues down its pathway of madness. People hear what they want to hear instead of actually listening to what's being said. We talk past one another instead of with each other. Until we learn to shut up and listen, we're bound to continue making the same mistakes. Today, I talked a bit about that disconnect. I praised the celebration of [...]

7-26-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Conflict Resolution… or Not

  I know I'm not alone this week. I'm conflicted. There's as much conflict going on in my mind as there is in the Wells Fargo Arena, the ironic name of the arena where the Democrats are nominating Hillary Clinton as their nominee to run against the Republican Donald Trump. I feel like I'm writing this in the middle of a bad dystopian novel in which the two most hated people in the nation are vying for the presidency. Oh, wait. Anyway, today, I let the conflict play out. I offended some people, and probably confused many more. Welcome to [...]

7-21-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Fuck Cancer

I wasn't here yesterday. I ran a Best Of show as I had a biopsy scheduled to find out what's going on with this mass on my lung. I wasn't expecting to hear anything until Monday, but the doctor called shortly after I arrived at the studio today to tell me he got the preliminary results. Cancer. I have fucking lung cancer. I'll get more details next week after the PET scan tomorrow, and an appointment with the oncologist Monday afternoon, and the surgeon on Thursday. The next few weeks will likely be a bit of a whirlwind, so I [...]

7-18-16 Nicole Sandler Show – Circus Maximus

  As the GOP circus gets underway in Cleveland and the world at large continues its descent into insanity, I've been dealing with my own personal hell. After a heart attack scare last Thursday, I've been on a roller coaster ride - and I HATE roller coasters. The heart scare, which turned out not to be a heart attack at all, was perhaps a blessing in disguise. The x-ray that was to see if my heart was swollen or enlarged instead showed a mass on my left lung. The pulmonologist wanted a PET-CT scan done, but United Healthcare had other ideas. [...]
