The Nicole Sandler Show

A bit of what's news for now

Once again the right wing hate talk media is lying to their audience and fomenting violence. What are we to do? Call them out and stand firm, speak the truth and expose their lies and hyperbole. To help navigate the murky waters, we welcome Jennifer Taub back to the show. She's an attorney, law professor, author (Big Dirty Money, Other Peoples Houses), and published an article yesterday in Slate, "With the Trump Raid, Merrick Garland Draws a Line in the Sand" -- we'll talk about that and lots more.

It was so considerate of the FBI to execute a search warrant on the former guy at Mar A Lago on the eve of Laffy's return to the show. But they did and she's back, and boy do we have a lot to talk about today!

A bit of what's news for now

The Pulitizer Prize winning columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Will Bunch, has a brand new book out dealing with the ridiculous costs of higher education here in the US. It's called "After the Ivory Tower: How College Broke the American Dream and Blew Up our Politics--And How to Fix it". He joins me today for a loose cost/benefit analysis. I still struggle with the fact that my daughter did not go to college, as I couldn't afford to send her and I didn't want her to take on that kind of debt when she didn't like school, wasn't a good student, and had no educational/career path planned. Apparently, we're not alone!

A bit of what's news, for now

Apologies for being out yesterday. I'm dealing with a Jenga-like tower of crap that keeps falling over on me, figuratively speaking of course. I thought about taking off the rest of the week, but that would make too much sense. And then my friend Jason Leopold finally got the word from his new employer clearing him to come on the air with me. So if Jason's going to be here today, I will too! After BuzzFeed torpedoed its entire award-winning investigative news division, it appears that Bloomberg swooped in and scooped up the whole lot of them. So I'll talk with Jason about his new gig (and Bloomberg's policy of having to go through their publicist every time I want him to come on the air!), and some other developments in stories that he's been covering for the past decade or more... like the killing of al-Zawahiri, missing phone data, erased messages and more, oh my. We'll begin with the latest news, and update on Howie Klein who's usually here on Thursdays, and some actual good news too!
