As my regular listeners know, I try to find something funny to share each show as laughter is good for us, especially along with all the serious shit we deal with each day. Today, I stumbled upon something that's obviously been a thing for a few weeks now. I'm slow sometimes. But a cottage industry has grown around Elizabeth from Knoxville Tennessee who "got maced" when she stormed the Capitol with the other insurrectionists who descended on DC three weeks ago today. So I shared with you a few of the "I Got Maced" original compositions that have sprung up recently, and topped it off with a song about the teary woman from That Guitar Man from Central Park. (I'll post a bunch of them on my site where I post the show- today's will be up at https://nicolesandler.com/1-27-21).
After the fun, we move on to the serious stuff... Yesterday, President Biden spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time as POTUS. We actually got a readout of the call telling us all the issues Biden confronted him on (for which Trump gave him a pass). It's just coincidence, I'm sure, that Craig Unger's new book, "American Kompromat: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power and Treachery" was released. Regardless, Craig Unger joins us today to explain how Trump actually was a Russian asset, and has been for decades!
