Thursdays with Howie Klein – Nicole Sandler Show 2-22-24

     Howie Klein, the man behind DownWithTyranny and the Blue America PAC joins me every Thursday for some plain talk about politics. In election years, like this one, we talk a lot about specific races -- many of them where Blue America has endorsed a candidate. Today, Howie wrote about two races whose primaries are in full swing right now -- the CA Senate seat to replace Dianne Feinstein, and Adam Schiff's current congressional seat that he's vacating to run for the open Senate seat. That's the district Howie lives in. So we'll get the inside scoop on [...]

10-23-23 Nicole Sandler Show — Sometimes We Must Unplug from the Madness

View on Zencastr The news is horrifying. It doesn't matter what side of the issue you fall, and you know what issue I'm talking about, it's beyond comprehension. So we did just that yesterday. Turned off the news and drove up to Sedona to take in the beauty of nature and the magic of Sedona I've heard so much about. Sadly, today is Monday, so it's back to the real world and the ugly reality of hate and war. And the Republican party. After a few minutes about the lack of any legitimacy in the House Republican Caucus, I [...]

10-20-23 Nicole Sandler Show — Marcy ‘Emptywheel’ Wheeler is Back Too!

View on Zencastr Well, we made it though my first week on the air from Arizona, but Gym Jordan didn't! He's toast. And with no Speaker (and no nominee either), the Republicans did what they do so well... adjourned, and left for the weekend. Seriously. They'll allegedly regroup on Monday with a new set of Speaker wannabees... It's not like there are any pressing issues here and around the globe that need immediate action or anything. JFC. It was a busy week, and I'm thrilled to welcome Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net back to the show. Since Marcy is in [...]

She continues keeping tabs on the politicians and calls out the bad guys from her blog, Digby's Hullabaloo and in her column at Salon.com. I know [...]

I thought that having Attorney General Merrick Garland testifying today before the Senate Judiciary Committee would provide more than enough material to deal with for the hour. Unfortunately, much of it was unwatchable.. Republicans have become so ugly, so aggressive and confrontational, and they are just completely full of shit. They learned well from their media appendage, Fox (Not) News, because they just make shit up. [...]

7-7-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   I'm back today after taking a much needed mental health/hang with the family day. That's what hearing the stories about the innocent people who were killed on the 4th of July, doing something to celebrate this country. I fear there's not much about this country worth celebrating any more. And the events that unfolded Monday morning in Highland Park, IL. The two year-old toddler who lost both of his parents as his father was killed shielding his tiny body with his own. [...]

5-16-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Funny or Not: Republican Edition

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) When my daughter was little, she's always try to get out of trouble for things she said or did by claiming, "It was a joke!". My response was always, "A joke is supposed to be funny." And perhaps they were, to her! More accurate would have been to say "comedy is subjective." We know that. I can't say I've honestly given right wing comedians a chance to make me laugh. I just know that the few times I've tried, laughter was the last [...]

2-18-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Sticking a Fork in This Week with Digby

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) At the end of each week, it feels like we dodged a bullet. So Fridays tend to lend an air of relief! Today, Heather "Digby" Parton joins me to stick a fork in this week. If you need some assistance in remembering what happened over the past five days: Putin didn't invade Ukraine on Wednesday, something that we had been bracing for. Despite Russia's denials that an invasion is imminent, troops keep amassing on the border of Ukraine. Hostilities could still happen [...]

1-5-22 Nicole Sandler Show – From the Ridiculous (Today’s GOP) to the Sublime (Betty White)

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   Today's show will deal with the worst and the best of America. On the worst side, today's Republican Party, if there still is one. The Grand OId Party of the past has been replaced by the Gullible Old Propagandists who believe the bullshit spewed by and at them. Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of their attempted coup at the Capitol, an event about which they continue to lie, as they do with virtually every subject these days. At the top of the [...]

11-18-21 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) It's another really strange day in Amerikkka. But it happens to be Thursday, so Howie Klein is here. I know we'll talk about Paul Gosar's censure, the insanity that is today's GOP, the trial-palooza in progress. And I'll certainly ask Howie about his latest article posted at DownWithTyranny.com: "Many Voters No Longer See The Democrats As Even The Lesser Evil". These are scary times, indeed. I promised I'd post the rest of Bernie Sanders' floor speech today on why he's voting against the [...]
