The Nicole Sandler Show

Florida had a really shitty week and, this morning, Deborah Newell and I will pile on with our weekly look into the FloriDUH files. Gaius Publius returns to talk about the Democratic divide, the media's fake narrative about party unity, and the battle lines we've all drawn. Plus the latest news, info and Nicole's opinions too.

We're still numb from the news of the massacre in Orlando. Today, we'll try to make sense of what happened and how to insure it never does again. We'll share Nicole's 2014 interview with Australia's former deputy prime minister, Tim Fischer, who helped end that nation's mass shootings. And @GottaLaff returns too.

The world is in mourning as the United States, the gun capital of the world, broke a record again. The biggest mass shooting in our history. We, as a nation, need help. Today, Nicole Sandler speaks with Joel Silberman, a gay man and a media strategist and trainer who's currently working on the campaign of Bob Poe, running for Congress from Orlando, who just last week revealed that he is HIV+. 

And finally, what now Bernie? Huff Post columnist Seth Abramson returns and tells us about @NewBlueMovement

This week, the video of a meeting about election integrity in California in which attorneys Bob Fitrakis & Cliff Arenbeck explain why they've filed lawsuits demanding the release of exit polling and returns to show that fraud is inherent in our system. This morning, Bob Fitrakis joins in to tell us of their concerns, give an update on the lawsuit, and what comes next.

Find out more and watch the full video of the 5-27 meeting at trustvote.org.

In hour two, we open the phones to get your reaction.

As Bernie meets with President Obama and Harry Reid today, Nicole Sandler considers what we do next. Donna Smith, Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America, guests to talk about “Justice or Bust,” The People’s Summit in Chicago next week, and the future of the Democratic party. Driftglass joins in too for our every-other-week dose of snarky commentary
