Episode 14 - Talking Tongues

Talking Tongues. One effect of Covid-19 can be loss of taste. Tongue damage. Not good. My sympathies to President Trump and the First Lady. Judge Amy Coney Barrett survived Covid-19. Her charismatic Catholic community speaks in tongues. It works for her.

 

Dave Gunders, our Troubadour wraps up this week’s show with his fascinating song, Talking in Tongues. Our amazing guests use their tongues well as they speak with us this week.

 

Brian Stelter is host of CNN’s Reliable Sources and author of Hoax, Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth. When news broke late Thursday night of Trumps’ Covid-19 diagnosis, there was Brian on CNN. We caught up on Friday and discussed Trumps’ illnesses, Stelter’s book, and what happened last November on Denver Trump Radio that led to my appearance on Reliable Sources.

 

Craig Silverman (no relation) gets credited by Brian Stelter as the author of the term “fake news” which Trump stole and turned around to his benefit.  That Craig Silverman (Canadian) is the brilliant author of Regret the Error and is a media editor for Buzzfeed. Both Craigs discuss the impact of current events including Trumps’ illnesses.  Craig Silverman interviews Craig Silverman.

 

Ed Barad is the epitome of a successful lawyer. He’s a partner at the Brownstein law firm which is also the biggest lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. with lots of ties to Dems and Republicans. Ed is worried about America and what a second Trump term would mean. Ed just volunteered as a poll watcher and describes the Colorado voting process in Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge.  Ed lets loose with his harsh feelings toward Trump supporters including former friends.
