Craig Unger on Russian Asset Donald Trump – Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-25

       Craig Unger is a journalist and NY Times bestselling author of six books, two of which deal directly with his reporting on what led him to conclude that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. I first spoke with Craig in January of 2021 for the release of his book American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and related Tales of Sex Greed, Power and Treachery, a week after Joe Biden was inaugurated and I thought we were done with Trump for good. I reached out to him after last Friday's disastrous Oval Office meeting between [...]

FOIA Master Jason Leopold on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-4-25

       Jason Leopold has been dubbed the "FOIA Terrorist" by the government. I don't like the word terrorist, so I call him the FOIA Master... He writes the FOIA Files for Bloomberg News, where he continues breaking news. Jason's work is truly important. I caught up with him a few days ago after our last conversation was delayed due to the LA fires. We have a few minutes left at the end, so I'm also sharing my interview with Craig Unger, author of the book American Kompromat recorded in 2021 when it was released. It's about how [...]

Emptywheel Friday And a Massive Oval Office Ambush & Meltdown on the Nicole Sandler Show 2-28-25

       Today is Friday, when we get together with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net to recap much of what happened in the week leading up to our conversation. We record these shows on Friday mornings here in Arizona/Friday afternoons for Marcy in Ireland. Today, while we were recording, Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelinskyy arrived at the White House to meet with Trump, ostensibly to sign a deal for Ukraine to compensate the US for our help in defending them against Russia. I had the tape-delayed coverage running on a computer screen off to my right. When Marcy and I [...]

It's been a horrific year for the people of Ukraine, who did nothing to provoke that monster. But a year later, they're still taking incoming fire, living without reliable power and under the constant warnings of sirens. Yet the people are strong and aren't willing to give an inch. Today, we'll look back on a year ago, and [...]

5-24-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Disinformation, War, George Floyd and 14 More Kids Shot Dead at School

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) When Laffy is here on certain Tuesdays, the mood is much lighter than it will be today in her absence. I have two guests lined up who promise to be fascinating. But I don't think we'll be doing much laughing today. First up: Lev Golinkin, an author/journalist who was a child refugee from Ukraine, writes in The Nation about the ill-fated Disinformation Board the Biden administration first announced, then abandoned, seemingly being derailed by right wing attacks and propaganda. The thing is, I [...]

5-9-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Celebrating Victory Day!?!

  Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!)   The news geniuses tied themselves in knots over the past couple of weeks, speculating on what Putin was going to do to commemorate Victory Day-- May 9-- which is today! The annual holiday is set aside to honor the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.... It originated in the 15 republics of the Soviet Union after the German Instrument of Surrender was signed late at night on May 8, 1945. The breathless predictions from our corporate media were everything from "Russia [...]

3-23-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Larisa Alexandrovna Returns to talk Ukraine

    She's back! Well, she never went away. She's just been raising her daughter. Larisa Alexandrovna is one of the OG bloggers... She wrote at her own At-Largely blog, as well as Huffington Post and even served as managing editor of Raw Story back in the early 2000s. Ten years ago, she got married and moved to Austin TX. Now she's writing again. Well, on her Facebook and Instagram pages. She's not writing news about foreign affairs and national security, but she is writing about what's happening now in Ukraine. I invited Larisa on the show today because she [...]

3-21-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Let the Confirmation Hearings Begin (While Ukraine Keeps Burning)

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) I was hoping that we'd be hearing from our Ukrainian friend Tanya in person today, but she's not yet ready. I'll begin the show with a Tanya update. When we last met on Friday, she had safely arrived in Poland. She's not there any more! Then we'll get to the history made today. Confirmation hearings began in the Senate Judiciary Committee for Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. She is simply brilliant, and the ugly statements made [...]

3-18-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Nicole Sandler Show – Give Peace a Chance

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) The show begins with an update on Tanya, my friend in Ukraine, whose ordeal we've been following from her texts with me over the past three weeks. We have a happy "intermission"- as this tragedy is far from over. I probably should have ended the show there. Instead I welcomed who I considered a friendly acquaintance going back 15 years for what I expected to be a respectful discussion between two people. It turned out to be none of those things, and frankly, [...]

3-17-22 Nicole Sandler Show – Thursdays with Howie Klein

Download here or click below to play, (or watch the video at the bottom of the page!) We're now into the third year of a global pandemic, and the fourth week of Russia's war on Ukraine. It feels like we're living in a one step up, two steps back world on so many fronts. That's my mindset as I prepare for today's show. Our friend in Ukraine, Tanya (which she prefers over Tatiana) made it to the border with Poland, as she messaged me at 6:49 ET this morning. I haven't heard anything from her since. Hopefully that'll change come [...]
