It's the Friday before Labor Day, when we usually get a nice news or document dump. Julianna Forlano joins Nicole Sandler to take some guesses at what might be dumped later today. The writer/director of the new film, "The Algerian" visits. And for Flashback Friday, we go back to Nov 1996 at LA's KSCA fm 101.9 with Evan Dando of The Lemonheads – and to Channel 103.1 in Los Angeles on Nov 18, 1999 for a session with Wilco!
Despite the fact that the 2016 presidential election is more than 14 months away, the various campaigns are pulling out all the stops to get their way. Today, Nicole discusses the latest electoral and debate news with Driftglass of the Professional Left Podcast, and Howie Klein of Down with Tyranny and the Blue America PAC. Plus the latest news, info and snark as we count down to Labor Day!
The wild stock market ride continues today, as does the wild ride toward the 2016 presidential elections. She's History's Amy Simon explains Women's Equality Day, happening tomorrow!

Nicole talks about the news, including three mass shootings yesterday, the Bill Clinton for First Lady campaign, and Republican nonsense with her guests, Cliff Schecter and @GottaLaff. Plus Huffington Post's Zach Carter gets us started with a TPP secrecy update.
If you've not had the chance to hear Senator Sanders at the National Press Club, here's a chance to correct that; he was in rare form. [Expected the hair to be more muzzled by the last declarative sentence.] If you were to ask me what his major mistake has been, it’s that he thought that after putting together this extraordinary grassroots movement of young people, minorities and working-class people and getting elected to the presidency, then he thought he could sit down with the Republicans and negotiate all these agreements.

By our friend Mel Neuhaus @acehanna54 Trust Kristol to supersize the clumsy and way too early mawnin' racism. Just another Live moment of Regressive Right Surreality aboard the Morning Schmoe and Meeka Showboat. They of course had to discuss the ΣΑΕ Racist Chanting Chorus in Ok-la-homa.

It's going to be a busy Bernie week, his hair will be standing straight up by nightfall Wednesday. As the discussions of Authorizing the Use of Military Force in Congress bounce back and forth, Sanders tries to sue for peace when he gets a chance. He was also not having a whole lot of Netanyahu, refusing the R.S.V.P. early in a stand against John Bo(eh)ner's politico power-grabby move. The test of our progress... - Pres.
