France & the UK Beat Fascism, We Can Too – Nicole Sandler Show – 7-10-24

 We saw huge election wins for liberals over the far right in France and the UK in the last week. We can and should do it here as well, but we have to pay attention to what they did in Europe and learn from their actions. Today, we'll reach across the pond to an old friend of the show. Dave Johnson moved to England last year, and joins us today to talk about being an ex-pat, life in England, our political conundrum and how they beat back fascism over there. And I explain how we win... truly, I [...]

3-13-23 Nicole Sandler Show – Bailing Out Billionaires & Drag Queen Storytime Too

First, we must deal with the Silicon Valley Bank collapse. My initial impression upon hearing that the government would make all depositors whole despite FDIC only covering up to $250k was to go ballistic. Again with the billionaire and banker bailouts while the little guy like you and me gets screwed - and most definitely not in a good way? Well, that's not necessarily what's happening. Writer [...]

2-8-23 Nicole Sandler Show – State Of The Union – Springsteen Split Screen

I'd been upset about missing my first Bruce tour since 1980, but that's what I'd resigned myself to since Ticketmaster instituted their "dynamic pricing," which escalated ticket prices into the stratosphere, especially at the [...]

2-1-22 Nicole Sandler Show – February, Florida and other F Words

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I know one F word that I've uttered already numerous times today. I've blurted it out in reaction to the latest idiocy from the Floriduh governor and from The Former Guy and others of their ilk. Here's one tweet that really sums it up today, from @AymanM: - fmr President admits he wanted to overturn election - vows to pardon insurrectionists - incites racism & protests against Black prosecutors - the FBI acknowledges a series of bomb threats around the country - books [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I really tried to unplug this weekend and remove myself from politics, news and the rest of the insanity that's stressing me out during the week. I was somewhat successful, but big questions keep cutting through the calm. I had stopped watching Bill Maher, as he finally completed his long-in-the-works jumping of the shark last week when he defended the vaccine and mask deniers. So I didn't watch him Friday night. But his warning about what's in store for us pierced my peaceful [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     Today begins a new week that will mark President Joe Biden's 100th day in office, and his first address to a joint session of Congress. I'll take stock of where we are at this point with blogger Dave Johnson, from a long line of Johnsons who are usually right, er, correct. Today, I began the show once again lamenting the sad state of police in this country who seem bound and determined to flex their power muscles, kill Black people and [...]

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)     What a shitty day in America. For the second time in less than a week, a sick person with a gun he shouldn't have had access to took a whole bunch of innocent lives. I said last week that the pandemic gave us a respite of sorts from mass shootings. If this is what a return to normalcy brings, I say we're better off hiding at home from the virus...and the bullets. Yesterday it was the formerly idyllic town of Boulder [...]

2-9-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Impeach & Convict Trump 2.0

Download here or click below to play    Today was the first day of the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. This is the first time in history that any elected official, current or former, has ever been impeached twice! Donald Trump would brag about that distinction because that's what he is. Anyway... today, Lead Impeachment Manager Congressman Jamie Raskin started. He explained that Donald Trump was guilty of inciting an insurrection on January 6, and that he must be held accountable for his actions. And he went to the video. https://youtu.be/ERIbhsCzZwk The argument today was about the constitutionality of [...]

Download here or click below to play   We're coming down to the wire. November 3 - election day - is one week from tomorrow. It's hard to believe we actually made it through four years since the US lost its collective mind and elected Trump president. We can now reverse the curse... though not without lasting ill effects. Exhibit A is in action today, as the Senate will vote to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Adding insult to injury, she'll fill Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat. I've invited my old friend Dave Johnson to commiserate, celebrate, and [...]
