Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan larsen

A new week begins with news of a "$400 Million flying palace" that allegedly will be gifted by the Qatari Royal Family to Donald F'ing Trump!?! WTF?Oh there's more news too. Like the idea of suspending habeas corpus? Huh?I accidentally stumbled onto Newsmax over the weekend and was hit with El Dumpo on the tube trying to sell me a Trump Watch? Seriously? The President of the United States doing a TV commercial to sell a watch with his name scribbled on it. How is that legal?These stories and more as we cover the fucking news with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com.

The weekend was chock full of news, beginning with a SCOTUS surprise at 1am on Saturday morning. For the first time in a long time, they ruled the correct way. Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com joins me for our regular Monday debriefing session on what the hell is going on...

Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, the magats in Dump-land prove that there is no bottom. Since we last spoke, the tariffs are on again, off again, temporary or permanent or paused for 90 days (and the stock market is up, down, up, down, ad nauseum; the administration is openly defying a Supreme Court ruling that tells them to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia; a domestic terrorist firebombed the home of Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro on the first night of Passover... I could keep going, but we'll get to most of it today when we're joined by Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News (thefuckingnews.substack.com)

Like death and taxes, Mondays always arrive. For the past couple of months, the start of each new week has brought with it a plethora of really bad news. Today is no exception... except there's some very encouraging news along with the usual Trump/shit sandwich.Where? Well, just look back to Saturday and the reported 5 million people plus who took to the streets across the country to protest the idiocy destroying our nation from inside.As we do on most Mondays, we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com for a spirited discussion about what's happening.

Jonathan Larsen, Founder of The Fucking News, proves there's still a path forward for the fourth estate.You can view the full video conversation: https://youtu.be/b8M4zkhtTZgTeam Human is proudly sponsored by Everyone's Earth.Learn more about Everyone's Earth: https://everyonesearth.com/ Change Diapers: https://changediapers.com/Cobi Dryer Sheets: https://cobidryersheets.com/

Welcome to another Monday when you wake up hoping it's all just been a horrible nightmare, but the you realize this is really happening.I believe that the bad news goes down easier with some snark and expletives, so we'll check in for our usual Monday get-together with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com. There's plenty on the crap menu to choose from today: a president openly confirming he wants to defy the Constitution and remain in power indefinitely, SignalGate or WhiskeyLeaks, or whatever you want to call the biggest threat to our national security in recent history and the mountain of denial and hypocrisy from the right concerning it, tomorrow's special elections and how the guy who purchased the presidency for Trump is handing out millions to try to purchase the WI Supreme Court. And yes, there's lots more.We could - and will - also look to the positive and talk about those special elections happening tomorrow (there's cause for cautious optimism), a blow against fascism in France, more protests coming this weekend. I know, the bad stuff outnumbers the good, but I'll continue to try to stay on the lookout for solutions rather than reinforce the crap that they're pushing on us.

It was a weekend with some hope as I tried to focus only on the good stuff, and there was cause for encouragement. Bernie Sanders and AOC held five rallies in Nevada, Arizona and Colorado, and they were awesome in the truest sense of the word. Record crowds everywhere, with reports that most were not necessarily previous Sanders voters or supporters. People are rising up and there are more actions planned. Keep 'em coming!It's been a couple of weeks since Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com was here, but he's back today. Good thing because there's lots of breaking news that shows just how broken this country is... Did you hear the one about the imbecilic Secretary of Defense mistakenly adding a reporter from The Atlantic to a Signal chat revealing highly classified information about an impending attack on the Houthis in Yemen? Just lovely.... Feel safe yet?

We usually spend Mondays talking about the latest news with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com, but he's out today doing something important with his son. And frankly, I just don't have it in me today.I was trying to find something that would bring some hope to my feelings of hopelessness right now, when a video titled 'Stress Kills' appeared in my email from Bernie Sanders. He seems to be the only person in DC who's actually out there making noise and trying to help. He's been traveling the country on his Fighting Oligarchy tour. So today, we'll spend most of the show listening to Bernie as we'll share his rally held yesterday in Altoona, WI.. We could all use some of Bernie's energy right about now...

We reached another Friday and it was another week filled with more crap than we could cover in an hour-long discussion, which is what Marcy Wheeler and I try to do each Friday. This morning, Marcy put up a long, information-filled post at emptywheel.net titled "Attention Deficit and Defiance Division of Labor: There's Stuff Happening Where You're Not Looking" which provided a bit of a blueprint for today's conversation -- and lots of links you can click on while you follow along.Coming up next week -- in addition to our regulars Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com on Monday, Howie Klein of DownWithTyranny.com on Thursday and Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net on Friday --we have some great guests coming up. On Tuesday, we'll speak with one of my fellow Air America radio alums, Mike Papantonio! He hosted a show called Ring of Fire with Sam Seder and often with Bobby Kennedy Jr (before he lost his mind. He has a new novel just released this week, The Middleman: A Legal Thriller about a lawyer taking on Big Pharma. His publicist pitched him as a guest. I told him that I don't usually have novelists on, but the subject is interesting, and I'd love to ask him about RFK Jr. Pap's response was that he'll talk about anything I want to ask him about. So I will!I've also heard from a lot of listeners concerned about what Elon Trump will do to Social Security; there are tons of rumors flying about it. So I figured it was time to get Alex Larsen back... He'll be here Wednesday.

Mondays are inevitable. Sadly, in recent weeks, the news on Mondays has been tragic and today is no exception. We're still reeling from the spectacle in the Oval Office on Friday and coming to terms with the fact that the man occupying the White House has aligned us with Russia over our allies in Europe. And as further proof that Dump is trying to crash the economy, the stock market took a huge dump today after the orange thing announced that his 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada would go into effect tomorrow.Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com will be along to talk about the shit show.I'll start the show with what might be my favorite song parody from the Marsh Family. They turned "Puppets on a Kremlin String" around in about 24 hours. It's the perfect commentary on what we witnessed on Friday that we wish would have never happened...

Our list of things inevitable is growing. It's no longer just death and taxes. To that we know that Monday will always arrive and with it more fucking news. So we get it out of the way... Each Monday I'm joined by Jonathan Larsen who actually compiles the news every fucking day at thefuckingnews.substack.com - and then does more original reporting at jonathanlarsen.substack.com too. And he hangs out with us on Mondays to talk about as much of it as we can.Today, some good news is tempered by a depressing thought. It's the new existential question of our surreal life... who can enforce the laws in a system of checks and balances when the "executive" won't recognize the other two branches authority and power?

The coup is in full swing and we're not going to take it. I just had to say that right off the bat. D'ump went golfing this weekend, but on days 12 & 13 of this unconstitutional regime, his minions were hard at work... especially Elon Musk, WHO NOBODY CAST A SINGLE VOTE FOR. He has seized parts of the US Treasury that pays our bills and installed some kids barely out of high school who have access to all Americans' most sensitive data. They told us what they were going to do in Project 2024, that the Convicted Felon insisted he knew nothing about, yet most of the 300 ridiculous Executive Orders he's already signed are directly lifted from that manifesto. And enough Americans fell for it or just stayed home on election day to give him the go-ahead to complete the coup he started during the first time they put him in power. Today is Monday, so I'll be joined by Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com who's doing a great job covering Trump's ongoing attempt to destroy the United States of America and our constitution. It's all hands on deck time. Let's do something about it.

How is this only Week 2? We've got our work cut out for us... Save the date! Heather Cox Richardson joins us tomorrow, so don't be late! Today, as we do on Mondays, we'll recap some of the important news of the day. Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com is here to help us try to make sense of the insanity of it all.

Yes, I know what's happening today. Frankly, the less said about the inauguration, the better. So today, we'll hear President Biden's farewell address which I never got to last week. Maybe. We may hear some words of wisdom and warnings from Timothy Snyder ("On Tyranny"). Then we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com. His Saturday post detailed the accomplishments of the Biden/Harris administration -- a good reference to hold on to as we move forward and try to navigate the next four years. I promised you I'd post this here. Timothy Snyder gave us a gift that I'll now share with you. You may want to refer back to this a lot over the next four years: Twenty Lessons On Tyranny Timothy Snyder Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side. Beware the one-party state. The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for their opponents. So support the multiple-party system and defend the rules of democratic elections. Vote in local and state elections while you can. Consider running for office. Take responsibility for the face of the world. The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor. Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching with torches and pictures of a leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, may God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which come from abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate with others. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is part of being a citizen and a responsible member of society. It is also a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down social barriers, and understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware on a regular basis. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble. Tyrants seek the hook on which to hang you. Try not to have hooks. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations, political or not, that express your own view of life. Pick a charity or two and set up autopay. Then you will have made a free choice that supports civil society and helps others to do good. Learn from peers in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends in other countries. The present difficulties in the United States are an element of a larger trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports. Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to use of the words "extremism" and "terrorism." Be alive to the fatal notions of "emergency" and "exception." Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come. They will need it. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny. These lessons are the openings of the twenty chapters of my little 2017 book On Tyranny, which has just been lightly edited since in successive printings to account for the Big Lie, the coup attempt, the war in Ukraine, and the risks we face in 2024. The lessons remain the same. On Tyranny has also been published in a beautiful graphic edition, illustrated by Nora Krug. For my positive ideas about liberty, see my new book, On Freedom.

Just like death and taxes, Mondays come along every week, whether we want them or not. So, welcome to another Monday. Thankfully, Mondays are made less worse because Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com and jonathanlarsen.substack.com is here to help us digest some of the f'ing news that we also cannot escape. Oh, by the way, speaking of substack, we now send The Nicole Sandler Show out on substack every afternoon following the live show. So go and subscribe at nicolesandler.substack.com. (It's still free, though we do depend on your donations and generosity to keep this thing going!)

Welcome to our first show of 2025. I'm rested and a bit refreshed after taking off a couple of weeks for the holidays. I'd say I'm happy to be back, but the fact is that today is January 6, four years since the guy whose election was just certified fomented an insurrection at the Capitol because he lost that election! To add insult to injury, the orange menace had the gall to rant today that President Biden was making the transition "as difficult as possible." We all know that's bullshit. Remember "every accusation is a confession". The next four years are going to be Opposite World on steroids. We'll begin the show today catching up on some of what happened over the holidays and setting some intentions for how we deal with our new reality. Then, as we do on most Mondays, we'll welcome Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com back to the show to get his take on what's happening in this ever-increasingly messed up world... Here we go...

Like death and taxes, Mondays are inevitable. As so many of us have tuned out of the nonstop news coverage, we're happy to fill you on what's happening in the world as we start the new week with Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com. Why? The news goes down easier with a bit of snark. Today, a "strong person of interest" in the UHC CEO killing is in custody in PA thanks to a McDonalds employee. TFN has uncovered some interesting details about 26-year old Luigi Mangione, including his high school valedictory speech. Welcome to a new week...

This episode we watch the 2021 Netflix biographical musical ‘Tick Tick Boom' starting Andrew Garfield. Based on the stage musical of the same name, the semi autobiographical story tells of playwright, lyricist and songwriter Jonathan Larsen's life and lead up to creating the legendary ‘Rent'. Tune in and enjoy the feast of Broadway appearances along the way!

Another week, a new month. I'm still not quite right, but I'm back today. It's Monday, so Jonathan Larsen also returns from thefuckingnews.substack.com. Thankfully he can fill us in on what's been going on since I, along with millions of Americans, have tried to tune out as much of the news as possible. He joins in at the 30 minute mark... I know you come here for information, but I hope you also watch/listen/participate in the show for truth, as painful as it sometimes is. If you've wondered about my uncharacteristic absences of late, I've been sick. I've been going through a mental health crisis. To be completely honest, I'm still in the midst of it, but I must make every effort to keep putting one foot in front of the other, so I'm back today to do just that. I'll explain as much as I can on the show, and want to thank you for being patient and for your support as I try to get back on track...

You know what TFN stands for at this point, right? It's The Fucking News. It just doesn't stop. And it's the cause of the giant pit in my stomach right now that has had me feeling nauseated and unable to function most of the time these days. If you've been listening to this show for a while, you may remember the effect the 2016 election had on my mind, soul and being. When TFG was declared winner, that sickness permeated every inch of my body and psyche and wreaked havoc on me for four long years. I'm not a medical professional, but my best description of what happened to me was a total breakdown. Somehow I managed to mostly go through the motions and keep this show going, but it was not easy. And it was not fun. I've struggled with depression since adolescence, but the stress and anxiety that's ravaged my mind and body thanks to that orange narcissistic fascist is really taking a toll on me. I'll do my best to muddle through... but please know that if I'm off the air at all this week, that's why. I know it's not rational. NOTHING about him is rational. This is opposite world on steroids. I believe we'll be ok. I believe he will lose and that GOOD will triumph over evil. Unfortunately, none of those rational beliefs are doing a good job of alleviating what's happening in my head. But I'll keep trying to battle those demons -- in real life, in my mind and all over the fucking internet and tv. I'll share a few things that should help (and do, albeit temporarily). And we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of TheFuckingNews.substack.com as we do each Monday.... And if you're feeling as I am, please know you're not alone. But we will survive. And we will win.

Another Monday arrived way too soon, but we'll deal with it.It was a strange weekend -- complete with TFG's obsessing over Arnold Palmer's dick size and Harvey Weinstein getting "schlonged" (I don't believe that's even a word, though "schlong" is Yiddish slang for dick). What more or less would you expect from a demented narcissist who wants to be a dick-tator? As it is Monday, we will visit with Jonathan Larsen from The Fucking News at thefuckingnews.substack.com and the less expletively-challenged jonathanlarsen.substack.com.... And you thought Don-Old was vulgar! He is, but also know that I'm not running for president. He is.

We are moved. Well, we're out of the old house and all our stuff is at the new place. Now we get to put it all together. My first task was rebuilding my studio. I somehow got it working well enough last Wednesday to interview Christopher Steele, and it crapped out on my on Friday while taping our Emptywheel Friday show with Marcy Wheeler. So, I rebuilt the whole thing over the weekend and as I'm prepping for today's show, it seems to be working correctly. Please let me know if gremlins invade so I can try to exterminate them, once and for all! Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. In some places, it's still referred to as Columbus Day, but we prefer to recognize the former... It's also Monday when we usually speak with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com, but he's a bit under the weather today. So, we'll catch up...

My long housing hell nightmare is almost over! I'm back live today and boy do I have a story to share with you! I'll fill you in on why I was out all last week and why I'm doing so much better today. Then, as it's Monday, we'll visit with Jonathan Larsen, proprietor of TheFuckingNews.substack.com (along with JonathanLarson.substack.com) who helps us kick off each week on Mondays with some original reporting and some of the other shit that we can't believe is actually happening.  

Every Monday we check in with Jonathan Larsen who tells us what's happening in our world at thefuckingnews.substack.com. Here at the Nicole Sandler Show, we use language like that, but apparently some are squeamish about expletives, so Jonathan is launching a second substack newsletter. He'll fill us in on that today, along with more important news like a second assassination attempt on TFG and the Trump campaign's latest attempt to pit Americans against Americans. Plus my thoughts on how we're coping with the sickening racism, xenophobia and contempt for our fellow human beings by Trump and his minions...

Mondays are difficult by definition, soo we get our news with a bit of snark with Jonathan Larsen who delivers the news to us every morning from thefuckingnews.substack.com and discusses it with us Monday afternoons on the show. Today... about those Kamala Harris endorsements from Liz & Dick Cheney! And what about the rest of the Republicans???

I'm finally feeling almost normal after an awful infection that led me to two separate Emergency Room visits in one week. So today, it's back to the grind.Somehow, the fact that today is Monday is not quite as awful as the last few hundred (or so it seems) Mondays have been... So, we'll chat about all that's happening in the news today, and then bring on Jonathan Larsen who reports on all of that at thefuckingnews.substack.com every day....

What a weekend this was! On Friday, I was at the Glendale AZ Kamala Harris/Tim Walz record-breaking rally. On Saturday night, I saw the Pretenders in concert (Chrissie Hynde is still amazing!), and I spent Sunday sick in bed... But today is Monday and there's lots of fucking news to get to, so the show must go on.As we do most Mondays, we're joined by Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com to talk about what's happening in our fucking world...

Yes, a lot of fucking news for a fucking Monday, and that's not even all of it. As we do on Mondays, I'll chat with Jonathan Larsen of thefuckingnews.substack.com about much of what I don't get to in the first half hour of the show on my own!

Another Monday has arrived and the outlook is much rosier than in recent weeks. Needless to say, there's lots to discuss. And it's Monday, so Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News (thefuckingnews.substack.com) joins in for the second half hour of the show. We'll venture into the world of the weird, which we acknowledge that there are different strains of weird... Some weird is good, while some is just, well, weird.... creepily weird. (Did someone say Don-Old Trump and JD Vance - or what ever variation on that name he might be using today?)

The shitshow that is the 2024 presidential election season is rolling right off a cliff. I had planned on playing President Biden's speech delivered Friday at a high-energy back on track rally in Detroit. And then Saturday happened. I'm trying very hard to stay positive, to veer away from conspiracy theories and to present only facts. But the right wing propaganda machine is in full swing, and as greasy and oily as possible. Jonathan Larsen is here today from thefuckingnews.substack.com to help me wade through the muck...

The six Extreme Court injustices completed their task from the Federalist Society to kill our democracy. And no, that's not hyperbole. The month of July begins with such a travesty to close out the court's session.I spent most of the first half-hour reading from Justice Sonia Sotomayor's and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents.  PLEASE read the whole thing for yourself. Or just read the two dissenting opinions which run from page 68 to 118.  Then we check in with Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News to further examine this unprecedented assault on democracy and the crowning of King D'ump. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

After a rebound infection with COVID over the weekend (I'm not kidding), I'm almost feeling human today. The icing on the cake was a negative test this morning! Yippee!! So I'm back, trying to catch up on all that happened while I was delirious. One thing that did happen was TFG rambling like the demented old fool he is in Philadelphia Saturday night. I even have some audio... And as it is Monday, Jonathan Larsen is here from The Fucking News to fill us in on the fucking news I missed while I was fucking sick...   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Like death and taxes, there's no stopping Mondays. They come every week whether we want them or not. But there's a silver lining... we get The Fucking News every Monday from Jonathan Larsen who writes the fucking news every fucking day... Then again, there are some weeks when there's good fucking news, like Trump being convicted and like Mexico electing its first woman President -- a Jewish woman at that! But don't fear newsfuckers, there's some fucked-up news to talk about too... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Mondays are always difficult, especially after an epic weekend.. But here we are. There's lots of news to discuss-- the latest on TFG's trial, possibly entering the homestretch, Alito must recuse (or be impeached.... and Clarence Thomas too!), the ICC is calling for the arrest of Hamas' leaders plus Netanyahu and Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. And lots more. And since it's Monday, Jonathan Larsen joins in from The Fucking News with even more! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

It's hard to believe we're almost half way through May already. I guess time flies whether we're having fun or not! I'm in website hell and in desperate need of a vacation... but I'm not there yet. So instead, it'll be a show at showtime as usual (5ET/2PT). I'll try to bring you up to speed on the Trump trial. Michael Cohen is on the stand today.. and Sen Bob Menendez' trial is on track to begin today too. It is Monday, so we'll check in with Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News (thefuckingnews.substack.com) because we're not yet fucked up enough, apparently. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Mondays are always difficult by definition, so we try to make them a bit more palatable by kicking off each fucking week with The Fucking News, as written and delivered by Jonathan Larsen who does his reporting for us daily at thefuckingnews.substack.com. Lots to discuss today from the possible ceasefire between Israel & Hamas, TFG on trial, TFG wannabe Veep-stakes, same sex marriage in the church and lots more... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Ahh we joke, but that's how the news gets digested better. Every Monday, I'm joined by Jonathan Larsen who writes at TheFuckingNews.substack.com. Mondays are difficult enough, so I figure it's best to ease back into the new week with a bit of humor injected into the normal awfulness of it all. Today we'll have some actual funny observations about the news, something that was mostly missing from Saturday night's Nerd Prom (aka WH Correspondents Dinner). Then there's the lovely revelations about SD Gov Kristi Noem as a dog murderer, college campuses racked by protests, Bill Barr says the quiet hyprocritical parts out loud (nothing really new there) and not only will he vote for TFG if convicted, he admitted that TFG often spoke of having Americans killed. Nothing much to see here... move right along... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Welcome to a new week. As expected the first criminal trial of Donald Trump is now underway in a NYC courtroom. Both sides delivered their opening statements and the first witness began giving his testimony. The prosecution started strong with David Pecker as the first on the stand. Notwithstanding his quite appropriate name, the former head honcho of the National Enquirer who ran interference for TFG with his "catch & kill" schemes to deal with stories that would be damaging for the orange one, will return to the stand when the court reconvenes tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, this trial will not be televised, but the court announced today that they'll release transcripts... before the end of the following business day. Not exactly the instant gratification we're used to. So today I'll share some insights from Laffy's Mastodon account. It is Monday, so there's some fucking news to get to with Jonathan Larsen, the man behind thefuckingnews.substack.com. What are you waiting for? Subscribe now. You can sign up for free (though if you're in a position to chip in a buck or two to support his work, we'd appreciate it!) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

It's April 15. Have you done your taxes yet? Remember when TFG was in office and he told us we'd be filling out our taxes on a postcard? Yeah, not so much. But he's in a Manhattan courtroom today as his first criminal trial begins... And of course, Jonathan Larsen is here with the fucking news. And I'm in the perfect fucking mood for it. I just spent the morning at the doctor's office and she thinks it IS gout. FML. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

In general terms, I believe Christian nationalism is bad history, bad politics, and bad religion. In prior episodes, I have concentrated on the bad history. In this segment and the next, I focus mainly on the bad politics. Around the world, religious nationalism is associated with state sponsored violence against citizens, use of force to take political control, erosion of the separation of church and state, degrading of democratic principles and attacks on minority rights. I believe Christian nationalism is also bad for Christianity which I will examine in the next episode.Note: I did not mention that long time Fellowship leader Doug Coe passed away in 2017. I believe that explains some of the shifting within the Fellowship. Having said that, there always was an element within that group which didn't make a strong commitment to human rights.

Well, so far no rapture but we did see the eclipse here in Arizona! It's another Monday so we start the f$^king week with more f$^king news from Jonathan Larsen at thefuckingnews.substack.com because someone's got to do it! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

The big guns come out on Mondays.... From Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki to Jon Stewart and now Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News! He's here every Monday to help kick off the week with a dose of news that you're not getting from the corporate mainstream media. Today Jonathan Larsen is breaking news that will be released to paid subscribers at thefuckingnews.substack.com concerning one of the more concerning underbellies of the US government... The Family, the National Prayer Breakfast and now... NASA? Jonathan will fill us in. But first, Easter blasphemy from TFG, his daughter-in-law, and plain truth from the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Despite our wishes for an endless weekend, Monday has again arrived. And with it, lots of F&#king News! So in the tradition of Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki and Jon Stewart, Jonathan Larsen is here every Monday morning to tell us wtf is going on. A few things in the f&#king news today: Ronna McDaniel NBC kerfuffel, TFG in a NY courtroom, penalty payment day has arrived, no government shutdown this time, motion to vacate again, SCOTUS hears the mifepristone case this week.... I could go on, but you should just listen... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Mondays. They happen like clockwork every week, coming right after the weekend to put an official end to our fun. So on Mondays, we check in with Jonathan Larsen of The Fucking News  to help ease us back into the work week with an irreverent discussion of the serious shit happening in our world. Jonathan joins in at the bottom of the hour... And we check in with Spocko who fact checks the crazy rebuttal from Katie Britt who apparently learned one thing from the head of the Republican party: how to lie! While the rest of the nation is struggling after losing an hour yesterday morning for Daylight Savings Time, here in Arizona our clocks stayed on standard time. You'd think that would make me happy, right? Well, I didn't lose an hour of sleep, but I did lose an hour of show prep time! This show still airs from 5-6pm ET/2-3pm PT... That means here in AZ, I hit the air at 2pm instead of 3 each weekday afternoon... I'll try not to be late. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Making Mondays suck a little less... Mondays come every week, inconveniently at the end of a weekend. It's difficult to make that transition from down time to work time, especially when the work involves the (usually depressing) news.Today is no different! It began with the Supreme/Extreme Court deciding unanimously that TFG will be on the primary ballots, saying that regardless of whether or not Section 3 of the 14th Amendment applies, it's up to Congress to make that call, not the individual states. So, D'ump will be on the Colorado ballot tomorrow and in the other states who had ruled against him. Even with that setback, we'll attempt to make the news fun today as Jonathan Larsen, proprietor of The Fucking News will inject humor and snark into his roundup which, today, has lots of new reporting about the GOP's ridiculous impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

If I hadn't taken last Monday off to hang with my daughter, I'd probably be enjoying a President's Day holiday off, but I couldn't justify it. Besides, I put together an open for Jonathan Larsen's The Fucking News segment, and I didn't want to wait another week to play it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Jonathan Larsen has spent many years in the progressive news broadcast biz -- you knew him before you knew him from Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Up with Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and Morning Sedition and The Rachel Maddow Show on Air America Radio, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, to name just a few of his credits. Now he's back with an imperative newsletter, The Fucking News (thefuckingnews.substack.com). And he joins me each Monday for a recap and a preview of what happened last week and what might and could happen in the week just starting. Come hang with us today! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

He's baack! I've been a fan of Jonathan Larsen's before I knew his name. He worked behind the scenes on some TV shows you probably watched -- he helped create and launch Anderson Cooper 360 at CNN, worked on Countdown with Keith Olbermann for about five years, then created and ran Up with Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Did I mention that he also worked at Air America Radio as Executive Producer of Morning Sedition with Marc Maron and The Rachel Maddow Show? Now you get it, right? Well, Jonathan Larsen just relaunched his daily irreverent news roundup, The Fucking News. (Subscribe at thefuckingnews.substack.com). He'll join us today for the first of what I hope will be a regular segment on the show because we all need the fucking news delivered with the attitude it deserves! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicolesandler/message

Since Eisenhower, every American president has attended something called the National Prayer Breakfast, hosted by a mysterious and amorphous group called the Fellowship Foundation, or more familiarly, The Family.The Family's focus, according to our guest, journalist Jonathan Larsen, is to “pursue relationships with people in power and use those relationships to pursue relationships with people in power. Jesus plus nothing. In contrast to the sort of traditional, stereotypical Jesus image of helping the poor, washing the feet of lepers, [The Family] is very much is focused on people in power.”And through those people in power they can influence policy according to their biblical interpretations.

President Xi Jinping announced the start of the 31st FISU World University Games at a spectacular opening ceremony in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on Friday.7月28日，国家主席习近平在四川成都举行的盛大开幕式上宣布，由国际大学生体育联合会主办的第31届世界大学生运动会正式开幕。Applause filled the 40,000-seater Dong'an Lake Sports Park Stadium as Xi declared the opening of the first large international sporting event to take place in China since it adjusted its COVID-19 response mechanism late last year.当习近平宣布大运会开幕时，拥有4万多个座位的东安湖体育公园体育场内响起了热烈的掌声。这是自去年底中国调整新冠疫情应对机制以来，首次在中国举办的大型体育赛事。Apart from medals, student-athletes taking part in the event are also looking forward to bringing home fond memories of China and new friendships, athletes and officials said.运动员和官方人员表示，参加这项赛事的学生运动员不仅是为了争夺奖牌，更希望在中国留下美好回忆并结交新朋友。A total of 6,500 student-athletes from 113 countries and regions will compete in 269 events across 18 sports at the Chengdu games, which run until Aug 8. The event is the third summer university games held on the Chinese mainland, following those in Beijing in 2001 and Shenzhen in 2011.在成都举行的第31届世界大学生运动会将有来自113个国家和地区的6500名学生运动员参加，共有18个项目、269个比赛项目。此次赛事将持续至8月8日。这是继2001年北京和2011年深圳之后，在中国大陆举办的第三届夏季大学生运动会。Huai Jinpeng, president of the organizing committee of the Chengdu games and minister of education, extended a warm welcome to young athletes and coaches from all over the world at the opening ceremony.在开幕式上，成都大运会组委会主席、教育部部长怀进鹏向来自世界各地的年轻运动员和教练员表示热烈的欢迎。"Tonight, the world is turning its eyes to China and to Chengdu in particular, to witness university students from across the globe coming together to celebrate this splendid gathering of youth and embark on a journey of self-transcendence," Huai said.怀进鹏说：“今天全世界的目光聚焦中国、聚焦成都，共同见证全球青年学子绚丽多彩的青春之约，一同踏上超越自我的梦想之旅。”Leonz Eder, acting president of the International University Sports Federation, thanked China, Chengdu, the members of the organizing committee and the volunteers for their contribution to making the grand event happen.国际大体联代理主席艾德在致辞时，中国政府和四川省、成都市以及所有参与者，共同打造一场不负期待的运动盛会表示衷心感谢，向参赛运动员送上美好祝愿。Eder said that "the magic of the FISU World University Games" was the fact that it brought together so many young people from so many different countries and regions.艾德表示：“世界大学生夏季运动会的魅力在于它汇聚了来自不同国家和地区的众多年轻人。”The atmosphere at the stadium reached a climax when the flame of the Chengdu games at the torch tower outside the stadium was ignited by fireworks set off by 31 torch bearers headed by Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu, one of China's Shenzhou XIII astronauts.中国神舟十三号宇航员叶光富领衔31名火炬手，共同点燃了体育场外的火炬塔，烟火喷薄而起，体育场内的气氛达到了高潮。Eder said in an interview with China Daily on Thursday that the World University Games continue to be highly regarded as a competitive international and multisport event.在7月27日接受《中国日报》采访时，艾德表示，世界大学生运动会将继续受到高度评价，成为备受关注的国际性综合体育赛事。Not only does the event enable current elite and emerging athletes to compete against the best in their sport, but it also provides a platform from which many student-athletes launch their international careers, Eder said.艾德表示，这项赛事不仅让现役的顶尖运动员和新秀与自己所在项目的最佳选手竞争，还为许多学生运动员提供了一个平台，开启他们的国际职业生涯。But competition is not everything at the Chengdu games because the event can also help young people from all over the world learn about different cultures and boost understanding, especially about China, he added.艾德补充说，在成都运动会上，竞争并不是唯一的目标，这个赛事还可以帮助来自世界各地的年轻人了解不同的文化，增进相互理解，尤其是对中国的了解。"I'm pretty sure that the majority of the students here have never been to China before. What they have learned about China in the Western media is one thing, but to come here to see Chengdu and feel the hospitality of the people will be something else," Eder said.艾德尔说：“我相信大多数学生在这里之前都没有来过中国。他们在西方媒体上对中国的了解是一回事，但来到这里亲身感受成都的热情好客将是另一番体验。”He added that besides doing their best, he hopes the student-athletes can take the opportunity to meet other students from all over the world and make new friends, which is as important as competing.他补充说，除了尽力竞争，他希望学生运动员能借此机会结识来自世界各地的其他学生，结交新朋友，这和比赛一样重要。The Chengdu games offer student-athletes great opportunities to meet others from different countries who have the same goal, which combines top-notch sports performance with intellectual pursuits, said Syed Ibadullah Ayaz, a taekwondo athlete from Australia.来自澳大利亚的跆拳道运动员Syed Ibadullah Ayaz表示，成都世界大学生运动会为学生运动员提供了与来自不同国家、有着相同目标的人见面的绝佳机会，这将顶尖体育表现与智力追求相结合。"I've watched many opening ceremonies of international sporting events on TV since I was a child. And now I've got to experience it myself. I'm looking forward to all the different cultures that are going to be represented there," Ayaz said ahead of the opening ceremony.Ayaz在开幕式前表示：“自从我还是个孩子的时候，我就在电视上观看过很多国际体育赛事的开幕式。现在我终于可以亲自经历了。我期待着能在那里了解到来自不同文化的精彩表现。”Furthermore, the organization of the Chengdu games and the facilities have impressed many officials and athletes.此外，成都运动会的组织和设施也给许多官方人员和运动员留下了深刻印象。Daniel Guerrero, head of the United States delegation, said it was wonderful to see the incredible preparations made by Chengdu, the local organizers and the FISU.美国代表团团长丹尼尔·格雷罗表示，看到成都、当地组织者和国际大学生体育联合会所做的出色准备工作真是太棒了。"What we have seen in Chengdu is extraordinary. I hope all the athletes could compete in a friendly environment, and get to know the cultures of different countries," Guerrero said.“在成都所见到的真是非凡。我希望所有的运动员都能在友好的环境中竞争，并了解不同国家的文化，”格雷罗说道。Jonathan Larsen, a coach of the German badminton team, expressed his pleasure at being in Chengdu.德国羽毛球队教练乔纳森·拉森表示他很高兴来到成都。"We've been welcomed very warmly, and the arena looks absolutely amazing, so we are looking forward to the Chengdu games," Larsen said.“我们得到了非常热情的欢迎，体育馆看起来非常壮观，我们非常期待成都运动会。”乔纳森·拉森说道。The Chengdu games were postponed from 2021 to this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FISU amended the registration rules to ensure that university students did not lose their eligibility due to the postponement. Consequently, student-athletes who met the qualifications in 2021 are still eligible to participate in the Chengdu games.因为新冠疫情的原因，成都运动会原计划在2021年举行，但被推迟至今年举办。国际大学生体育联合会（FISU）修改了注册规则，以确保学生运动员由于延期不会失去参赛资格。因此，那些在2021年符合资格的学生运动员仍有资格参加成都运动会。On the sidelines of the event, the organizers have arranged a series of cultural activities for the participants, such as observing giant pandas and enjoying Sichuan Opera, to highlight the host city's unique features.在赛事期间，组织者还为参与者安排了一系列文化活动，例如参观大熊猫和欣赏四川京剧，以突显主办城市独特的特色。Friendship英/ˈfrendʃɪp/美/ˈfrendʃɪp/n.友谊，朋友关系Arena英/əˈriːnə/美/əˈriːnə/n.竞技场Reporter: Cui Jia in Chengdu Intern:Zang Tianyi

Inflation sucks. It sucked back in the 70s and 80s too. It's a word we hadn't hear much about in recent years... there was plenty more to terrorize us even without the specter of inflation. But like war, it's back and we're trying to figure out how to deal with it. This morning, Jonathan Larsen sent me a link to an article he wrote, "How Trump Caused Inflation: Trump Blocked Regulations Against Price Manipulation; Biden Has Yet to Acknowledge the Problem"-- and I think he's on to something. So Jonathan joins us today to talk about that. Also happening today, the senate is voting on the Women's Health Protection Act which would codify into law Roe v Wade, ostensibly preventing the Supreme Court from killing women's right to control our bodies. But it's doomed to fail as the Dems don't have 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Damn, they don't even have the 50 they'd need if the Senate operated as a democracy. Go figure.

For this episode we're talking about the movie tick, tick... BOOM! It is based on a stage musical of the same name, written by Jonathan Larsen. In the movie, directed by Lin Manuel-Miranda, Andrew Garfield plays Larsen as he attempts to break into the musical theater industry.  Garfield was nominated for an Academy Award for his performance in the film, but when ATMI producers Madison Knutson and Daisy Carter got together to talk about tick, tick... BOOM! it was prior to the ceremony where Garfield did not win the award. Hosted by Nico Coltrane. Music by Kendrick Whiteman. Alaska Teen Media Institute is based in Anchorage, Alaska. We would like to acknowledge the Dena'ina people, whose land we work on. Many thanks to supporters of our podcast, including Alaska State Council on the Arts.

Andrew Garfield has received an Oscar nomination for his role as Jonathan Larsen in Tick, Tick... Boom! which is based on the stage musical of the same name and written by Larsen about his early struggle as a composer. Jonathan Larsen is best known for Rent, one of Broadway's longest running shows. This autobiographical musical drama film directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda in his feature directorial debut. In the role, Andrew Garfield sings and dances despite having never been in a musical before and speaks to Today's Martha Kearney about what it was like taking on the role. (Image credit: Netflix)

The Oscar nominations included one for Lin-Manuel Miranda for a song from the Disney animated film, Encanto. He's also the man behind the musical 'Hamilton' who has just directed a film for the first time - which produced a best actor Oscar nomination for Andrew Garfield. It's called Tick Tick Boom and is based on the story of Jonathan Larsen, who wrote the musical Rent but died on its opening night in 1996. Today's Mishal Husain spoke to Lin-Manuel Miranda about Larsen's influence on his work. (Image Credit: Getty)

And, protecting psychological therapy from religious proselytizing. I'll talk with Darrel Ray of Recovering From Religion, which has launched its Secular Therapy Project.

Today is Thursday, so Howie Klein (Down with Tyranny, Blue America PAC) joins in at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about including the smear campaign being waged against Rep. Marie Newman. But we'll begin today's show by noting that despite separation of church and state was clearly the goal of the founders, today-- 2022-- there's still something call the National Prayer Breakfast every year, and it was today. And this time, it was Joe Biden who I found most offensive... in an event that offends me at every turn. TYT Investigations managing editor Jonathan Larsen has been looking in to The Family and has some interesting news to share at the top of the show.

This week's guest is Jonathan Larsen, managing editor over at The Young Turks (TYT) Network.  Ever since he and his colleagues obtained the formerly-secret invitation list to the yearly National Prayer Breakfast that The Family--otherwise known as "The Fellowship Foundation"--wanted desperately to keep a secret, Jonathan has been doing some great investigative reporting on this uber-secretive, dominionist Christian organization. First reported on by Jeff Sharlet in his book, and later Netflix series "The Family," this clandestine evangelical organization has been actively working the corridors of power worldwide for decades, building relationships and seeking out "key men" to win to Christ--in the hopes that they will influence their nations and spheres of influence for the Kingdom of God.  Find out more by listening in!

For Jonathan Larsen, an 18-year Citi veteran, joining China's Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. was like an army general being asked to lead a small, elite squad. As Global Head of Retail Banking and Mortgages at Citi, Larsen oversaw a global team of 80,000 employees. But when he joined Ping An this May as Chief Innovation Officer and CEO of the US$1 billion Ping An Global Voyager Fund, the team was just him and his assistant on his first day. But his responsibilities and opportunities are possibly greater than ever. As CEO of Ping An's new Global Voyager Fund, Larsen is leading a growing team of professionals to deploy US$1 billion to companies globally to help the Chinese insurance giant's drive toward becoming an innovative conglomerate. On top of that, as chief innovation officer of the whole group, Larsen works with the senior management team to make sure that Ping An comes out as a leader of innovation ahead of its competitors in the mid- to long-term. "Its a welcome change and it’s very energizing to come to a new domain with very different mission and agenda. Even though the scope of people management is different, the nature of the roles are actually complimentary," Larsen told China Money Network at Ping An's Hong Kong office at the International Finance Center. Ping An, the country’s largest insurer by market value, launched its first overseas fund - the Global Voyager Fund - to primarily invest in fintech and healthcare technology globally, with US$1 billion to be allocated by the parent group. The fund has an ambitious objective: to fully invest the US$1 billion in the next three to four years in companies that will "move the needle" for Ping An's innovation objectives. "The Global Voyager Fund is one of many levers for driving innovation within Ping An," says Larsen. "It’s about making investments in companies that have distinctive technologies, platforms and models that could achieve success and have strategic relevance for Ping An’s existing and new business." For fintech, Larsen says that he is most concerned with three parameters when considering a potential investment: the technology, how that technology is likely to unlock value, and what is the synergy between the technology and Ping An. A positive investment needs to click all three boxes. Personal and business lending platforms, business model innovations and insurance tech space are some of the areas that Ping An is particularly interested in, Larsen says. In September, Ping An Global Voyager Fund made its first investment in European fintech company, 10x Future Technologies, a fintech company founded by former Barclays CEO Antony Jenkins. The company focuses on providing holistic technology solutions to banks that allow them to keep their APIs and data in one place. Such a platform could be integrated in Ping An's own bank and its Ping An Financial OneConnect, a platform under Ping An tasked with exporting the fintech capacity of the group to other financial institutions. In healthcare, Ping An has paid attention to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for diagnostics, helping physicians shape treatment paths, as well as the use of wearables, and mobile technology for adherence monitoring and follow-up consultations. Ping An, of course, has a healthcare insurance business in China and also owns Good Doctor, a personal health mobile app with 500,000 daily active users. Any investments in these areas would likely have an attractive strategic component for Ping An, Larsen says. Read an interview Q&A below.
