They Forcibly Removed a US Senator! Nicole Sandler Show 6-12-25

My plans for today's show changed just moments before showtime as there was really disturbing breaking news!  Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed - wrestled to the ground and handcuffed at a Kristie Noem press conference after LOUDLY AND CLEARLY identifying himself. Disturbing scene of Senator Alex Padilla being handcuffed pic.twitter.com/T8GjjrR9A2 — Acyn (@Acyn) June 12, 2025 This is what Sen Padilla did. He identified himself, but they accosted him. Really strange times we’re in.

Feuding Narcissists & Howie Klein Thursday – Nicole Sandler Show 6-5-25

    We knew it would eventually happen, we just didn't know when. But things are ugly in Dump World today where barbs are flying between the orange madman and his biggest campaign contributor. Dump and Elmo are lashing out at one another on their (dis) respective social media platforms and I can't wait to see how low they'll go. Over at downwithtyranny.com, Howie Klein wrote about it, and came up with a great headline: "Musk to Senor Trumpanzee: Go Fund Yourself". Today is Thursday, so we will check in with Howie Klein, who also has the amazing results of [...]

New Pope Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 5-8-25

     It's Thursday, so we'll talk politics with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com and the Blue America Pac today... Lots of action, perhaps, in Congress where we can't help but hope the Republican caucus starts coming apart to derail some of this insanity that the orange one is unleashing on the world. Dump did announce a trade deal this morning with the UK. But is it a deal if it's not a deal? Only Congress can authorize a trade deal. But then again, only Congress can authorize tariffs. Who's going to tell him? And there's a new pope and, [...]

MayDay in the Streets, Thursday with Howie Klein – Nicole Sandler Show 5-1-25

         It's Mayday! The word "Mayday" is an internationally recognized distress signal used in radio communications, primarily by mariners and aviators, to signal a life-threatening emergency. May Day is also known around the world as International Workers' Day, commemorating the fight for workers' rights and the eight-hour workday. Both uses are fitting for today, as around the country, protesters are taking to the streets to speak out against Dump and what his administration is doing to this country and the entire world. Today is also Thursday, so we'll check in with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny and [...]

The Hits Keep Coming Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-24-25

       Chaos. It's their mantra and goal. There's no way any one person can keep track of all the crap spewing from the White House these days, but I try to do my part in finding some of the stories that most infuriate me to share with you each day on the show. And today is Thursday, our day to check in with Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny and the Blue America PAC. Now is the time to start vetting our candidates for 2026! Howie shares some exciting news, we talk about potential replacements for the retiring Sen [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein (and some GOOD News for a Change) -Nicole Sandler Show 4-17-25

         Howie Klein has been a regular weekly guest on this show for close to 15 years now. He writes at DownWithTyranny.com and runs the Blue America PAC where he champions the best progressive candidates running for office. Ten years ago, Howie successfully fought a rare form of cancer and enjoyed a clean bill of health for years. Unfortunately, a few months ago he was diagnosed with cancer again, this time pancreatic. I tell you this because today, at the time we usually speak, Howie will be at the hospital getting a chemotherapy infusion. As he [...]

Yippy Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 4-10-25

   I'm not quite sure what "yippy" means, but the guy with the best words used it to explain (in Dump's case, that means 'lie') why he reversed himself on his tariffs yesterday. People were getting yippy? Maybe it means that they were pissed off that their portfolios and retirement accounts were hemorrhaging money? I wonder how they're feeling today... In case you weren't paying attention, after Dump 'paused the tariffs', the market went on a bit of buying spree yesterday. It seems obvious to me and many others that market manipulation and insider trading were a big part [...]

Politics & Music with Howie Klein & Danny Goldberg on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-20-25

       Howie Klein has been my regular Thursday guest for over a dozen years now, but our friendship goes back further to the early 90s, when I was doing rock radio in Los Angeles and he was president of Reprise Records. When Howie left Reprise and Warner Brothers as Time Warner and AOL merged, he began devoting all of his time to progressive politics, launching Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. Danny Goldberg also worked in the music industry as a personal manager, record company president, public relations man and journalist since the late 1960s. [...]

Economy Crashing Thursday with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-25

     Watching the Dow crash for the third day in a row since the megalomaniac in chief unilaterally put 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, the orange one tried to change course again. First he suspended tariffs on cars from both nations. Then he paused the tariffs on Mexico for a month. As the market kept hemorrhaging, the then paused the tariffs on Canada for a month too. The Dow regained about 100 points of today's loss, but still closed down 428 points for the day, adding to the more than 1200 point drop sustained over [...]

FL Can Help with Howie Klein & Josh Weil on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-27-25

        I know. I escaped Florida after living there for half of my life. I don't have many kind words to say about the state that has mostly become a bad joke. But I'll sing their praises if the people of Florida come through on April 1. (And I'm not talking about an April Fools prank!) There are two special congressional races in FL being held that day to replace two of D'ump's cabinet nominees. Matt Gaetz left Congress as the rep for District 1 when he was ridiculously nominated to be AG. Thankfully we dodged that [...]
