Democracy with Jamie Raskin on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-18-24

 The 2024 presidential election is in full swing. My husband David and I were fortunate enough to be at a Biden-Harris event in Tempe, AZ yesterday where the featured speaker was our favorite member of Congress, Jamie Raskin.I hope to have him on the show sometime soon for a real interview, but we got to say hello, shake his hand, take a photo and hear him speak for about 30 minutes. It was one of the best political speeches I've ever attended, and he did it extemporaneously - no notes, no teleprompter. Just his quick wit and brilliant mind.I started [...]

Thursdays with Howie Klein on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-14-24

     It's Thursday, so time for our weekly get-together with Howie Klein of downwithtyranny.com & the Blue America PAC. This week, both Biden and TFG clinched their party's nominations, so buckle in for a loooonger than our already ridiculously long election season and all that comes with it. There's lots of political news to discuss with Howie today, but I'll certainly save a few minutes to talk about this week's losses (of some amazing musicians)... I played a song  at the top of the show from a bunch of Nashville based artists supporting Gloria Johnson for Senate (she's [...]

Wednesday Wisdom with Digby on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-13-24

     Because sometimes you just need to sit with a brilliant friend and shoot the shit about all the craziness in our world. That's how I approach the shows when Heather "Digby" Parton is our guest. Digby is, of course, one of the OG bloggers of progressive politics. Her Hullabaloo blog is still a daily must-read, as are her columns at Salon.com. I love it when Digby is my guest because I truly adore her and love our conversations, which can go in any direction. We never know where it'll go until the interview progresses. Too bad there's [...]

White Rural Rage with Tom Schaller & Paul Waldman on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-6-24

     A new book is out and making waves because it points out an ugly truth about a huge swatch of this nation. Following yesterday's Super Tuesday primaries, the top of the 2024 presidential ticket is now set. It'll be a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, as if we didn't know that would be the case. What has changed is the political landscape of middle America - or Rural America. Tom Schaller, Political Science Professor at University of Maryland, Baltimore and journalist/columnist Paul Waldman have co-authored a new book that helps to explain the divide: WHITE [...]

SCOTUS Screwed Us with Lisa Graves on the Nicole Sandler Show 3-5-24

     Well, they sure took their sweet time to stick a dagger in the heart of democracy and now the Supreme Extreme Court is dragging its feet before it strikes the death blow. Rather than immediately putting us out of (or increasing our) misery quickly (like they did in Bush v Gore 2000), they're draaagggging it out another six long weeks. Yes, the court will hear TFG's bullshit case where he's claiming "absolute immunity" for his actions related to the January 6 insurrection that he led! It took the court three weeks just to say they would hear [...]

Leap Day Thursday with Howie Klein (the buh bye Moscow Mitch edition) – Nicole Sandler Show 2-29-24

       Big news broke yesterday while we were on the air - and I missed it! I didn't see that the Supreme Court finally announced their decision to hear TFG's appeal regarding his ridiculous claims of absolute immunity. So we'll deal with that at the start of the show - and really get into it on Friday's show when Marcy Wheeler is here. The other big news from yesterday was Mitch McConnell's announcement that he'll step down as Senate Minority Leader in November (but will remain in his senate seat). That's something we'll discuss with Howie Klein [...]

No Immunity For TFG and a Tues Visit from Emptywheel- Nicole Sandler Show 2-6-24

   Because of big breaking news this morning, Marcy 'Emptywheel' Wheeler makes a special Tuesday appearance on the show to talk about the decision by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on TFG's claims of 'absolute presidential immunity.' As we knew, there is no such thing, and the bipartisan three-judge panel ruled so unanimously, releasing their decision this morning. Since I'm on vacation for a week after tomorrow, Marcy Wheeler jumped on the Zoom with me this morning to discuss what it all means. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3GmSYezNpY

Emptywheel Fridays! Marcy Wheeler joins Nicole Sandler 2-2-24

     Every Friday we get together with Marcy Wheeler who does real journalism over at emptywheel.net to get the latest on the various trials, hearing, indictments, and drama surrounding the failed, twice impeached former guy who once again wants to occupy the oval office (but is really only running because he sees it as his only way to stay out of jail). Today, Marcy explains the story she singularly broke regarding the warrants issued in the Hunter Biden so-called investigation and lots more. For some reason, the YouTube stream got horribly corrupted, so here's the clean version of [...]

1-30-24 Nicole Sandler Show – Let’s Try This Again with Brian Karem

Shit happens. Last Wednesday, we were expecting journalist Brian Karem to pop into the Zoom room at any moment. That moment never came. When I invited Brian on the show, he told me that he had pool duty that day, but should be on the tarmac at LAX where he could jump on the air with me while waiting for the Vice President to get back to the plane. Unfortunately, the Secret Service had a different idea that day, and Brian was unable to join us. So we'll try again today when, I think, he'll be in a more [...]
