Episode 7 - Tree Chopping

A worthy endeavor for a lumberjack. Wood is good. Paper products, housing and real fireplaces need good wood.  But what about trees destroyed for no good reason?

 

Few reporters ever sold more newspapers and magazines than legendary sports columnist Rick Reilly.  This talented Boulder native knows Donald Trump from celebrity and sports circles. Rick is not impressed especially after researching his bestseller, Commander in Cheat – How Golf Explains Trump. What an honor to be joined for a funny, wide-ranging discussion with this world class journalist.

 

Among the many egregious acts of Donald Trump was his chopping down a grove of trees along the banks of the Potomac River so golfers at his Trump Washington National Golf Club could see the famous river Washington once crossed.  Trump got fined but he didn’t care. After all, didn’t George Washington once cut down a nearby cherry tree?

 

Dave Gunders, our show’s Troubadour, weighs in with his perfect song about a mighty two-hundred-year-old oak tree felled by a rich fool who felt entitled. Notwithstanding is the most impassioned song you will ever hear about a tree that got chopped down. You’ll love the song and its creator.

 

We look at the rampant destruction wrought by our President in his effort to avoid accountability for his actions. Elections are all about accountability. Trump is now messing with the US Postal Service to cheat to avoid the outcome he so richly deserves. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold will not let it happen on her watch. Jena joins me in a special session of Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge.
