Rundown -   Larry Ryckman - 19:09   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 49:49   "New Last Chance" by Dave Gunders - 01:01:32   Rich Kaudy, Esq. in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 01:06:59   Special show welcomes Rosh Hashanah 5784 with great guests, sound and music. Omnipresent threats from our quadra-indicted former president affect the fair administration of justice. Trump is a fundamental threat to peace and democracy in the USA.   Special Counsel Jack Smith has reacted with a strong motion to Judge Chutkan. In Tanya we trust to write a narrowly tailored gag order which 45 will no doubt violate. Push is coming to shove and we evaluate what comes next. https://abc7chicago.com/donald-trump-special-counsel-jack-smith-gag-order/13787670/   We have the latest Trump response via the awful laughing jackal Clarence Thomas clerk, Laura Ingraham on Fox News. We also play and analyze the sound of the former president further incriminating himself with Megyn Kelly. Jack Smith is now doing what the show host advised in his Colorado Sun column. https://coloradosun.com/2023/08/17/trump-indictment-opinion-silverman/   Speaking of the Colorado Sun, our Centennial State’s finest news outlet, we get a great visit from founder and head honcho Larry Ryckman. Larry was a tremendous Associated Press reporter for decades and then was at the Denver Post when a democracy-killing hedge fund pulled the rug out.    Five years ago, the Colorado Sun was born and it has been a huge success. Now, there is a celebration on September 29, 2023 at the Tivoli and everybody is invited. Buy some Sun merch and a subscription too. Host will be there and so will Colorado’s Governor and two US Senators. https://coloradosun.com/sunfest/   Rich Kaudy, Esq. was an AP award-winning journalist in his Montana youth. But then, he came to Colorado for law school and over 40 years of outstanding law practice. Kaudy was a renowned civil defense lawyer, and a past president of the Colorado Defense Lawyers Association. Now, his practice has evolved.   Kaudy gets welcomed into the special Act Five Attorneys’ Inner Sanctum section of Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge. Barristers in their 5th decade of practice tend to speak out. Kaudy is great as he lets loose against MAGA. He has faith in the jury system and we shall see if a jury ever sees a Trump criminal trial.   Troubadour Dave Gunders delights with his song, New Last Chance, which is so appropriate for Rosh Hashanah when the world has its birthday and pledges for better behavior are made. Great discussion ensues including Trish Silverman’s brisket. We discuss Jewish traditions! https://music.apple.com/ng/album/chop-wood-carry-water/1607240889   The Craig Silverman Show - Every Saturday morning at 9 a.m. - Colorado time

Rundown -   Marty Lenz and Jordan Hedberg - 04:07   Colorado’s hot fresh panel show welcomes the star of Denver’s 850 KOA Morning News, Marty Lenz and we get to hear a fascinating side of this important Colorado broadcaster. Hear a fascinating side of this important CO broadcaster. Lenz shows deep knowledge of football and wisdom of keeping religion out of politics. https://koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/colorado-s-morning-news/about/   Gather wisdom from erudite publisher of the Wet Mountain Tribune, Jordan Hedberg, previously featured on Episode 113. Jordan battles the forces of MAGA in rural Custer County where White Christian Nationalism runs deep. https://wetmountaintribune.com/tag/jordan-hedberg/   Lenz (a receiver) and Hedberg (a lineman) played college football, and hot takes on Broncos loss and Buffs wins provided. Is Deion Sanders gonna win it all and save us from White Christian Nationalism and MAGA? Is Shedeur Sanders now the best quarterback in Colorado, Russell Wilson included? Fun football discussion ensues with no punches pulled.   Politics and the MAGA insurrection cases get the panel's full attention. We discuss Kyle Clark’s brave interview with Able Shephard’s Jimmy Graham. Advisability of new Denver District Court case of Anderson v Griswold considered. Will the 14th Amendment actually DQ Trump?   How should MAGA news be covered in Colorado? Listen to Marty Lenz, outspoken and unplugged here, representing Colorado’s most famous radio station. Jordan knows about community papers and he fights for truth in rural Colorado. This trio engages in fascinating conversation. Give a listen.    Craig’s Colorado Corner - Monday mornings at 6 a.m. Colorado time

Rundown -    Mario Nicolais in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 21:51   Peter Simon - 50:55   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:29:07   "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Dave Gunders - 01:49:17   Mario Nicolais, lead lawyer on the new Denver D/Ct declaratory judgment case aiming to DQ Trump, joins host again in Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge. Learn behind the scene details on Anderson v Griswold, aka Biggest Case Ever. https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Anderson-v-Griswold_Verified-Petition_2023.09.06_01.pdf   How were plaintiffs, and Denver as the venue, selected? Who will be called as witnesses? Host speculates on the last names of Cheney, Kinzinger, Luttig and Tribe. Listen for the response to this litigation unfolding in the show host’s Denver courthouse! Excitement palpable.   Host confronts the rantings of ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee who threatens violence if Nicolais’ lawsuit succeeds. Other commentators have issued their dire warnings. Such MAGA commentary is instructive, as are the rantings of Mike Lindell when forced at depo to confront his defamation of a Denverite named Eric Coomer.   Dr. Coomer's case reveals the Dominion lie which reveals the Trump insurrection. It is that simple. But it gets complicated through the bad faith of MAGA propaganda which the show host again calls out. Lindell sponsored MAGA propagandists on #DenverTrumpRadio and show calls it out. Again.   Show business legend Peter Simon, GW Class of 1967, provides a fascinating interview rich with music, humor and Colorado history. Saling Simon, Peter’s grandpa, helped found National Jewish Hospital at the turn of last century. https://exhibits.library.du.edu/librariespresents/items/show/5666   America’s premiere respiratory hospital, National Jewish, remains a Simon family living legacy and so is Peter’s son, also named Solang Simon, who performed side by side on the piano with his Dad, Peter, for decades. Simon & Son has Denver GWHS roots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxrFoMijEc   On his own, Peter Simon has worn out multiple tuxedos on his intercontinental musical tours. Learn how Peter had the same agent as Victor Borge who was a role model. Peter Simon was a piano prodigy who’s made a great life in show biz. Learn all about this Denver musical genius!   Our Troubadour Dave Gunders takes a back seat to no one when it comes to musical expression. He proves it again with piano-rich song, Stranger in a Strange Land, as we contemplate a MAGA takeover in 2024. We are working against that. And having laughs too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPkEJkijPZw   Upcoming #CraigsColoradoCorner (Monday 6 a.m.) features Marty Lenz from KOA and Jordan Hedberg discussing Trump trials, including Denver’s own Anderson v Griswold. Colo SOS has been a frequent guest in Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge. Also a guest has been Norma Anderson’s daughter-in-law Pam. Host worked @710KNUS with Krista Kafer too.

Rundown -    Tom Asbury - 13:06   Craig Presents His GWHS Hall of Fame Speech - 01:35:21   Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:52:08   "Moonrise Western Sky" by Dave Gunders - 02:03:13   Tom Asbury was one of the greatest basketball players in the history of George Washington High School, which also produced GW HOF member Chauncey Billups. But Billups can’t match Asbury yet as a coach, given Asbury’s 238 NCAA coaching wins.   Basketball fans will like this show but it is so much more. We talk about Denver and GW back in the 1960s and how our high school dominated Colorado from its birth in 1960. We talk about s race relations then and now. Learn how college sports have changed.   George Washington High School is a microcosm of the world – right there at Leetsdale and Monaco Parkway in Denver. Education is a key in society. So are race relations. So is competition. We had all that at GW. And they still do – or so we hope.   Tom Asbury was a gifted athlete and a natural born leader of people. We talk about other great coaches like John Wooden who he got to know during Asbury’s decades as Pepperdine’s head coach. Find out why Coach Asbury now lives in Tucson and how he loved GW.   We fondly remember legendary GW head basketball coach Bill Weimer who was a fantastic teacher at East and then GEORGE. We discuss Coach Bobby Knight, and objecting too much and going too far. And then the show becomes a bit political and the limits of what head coaches can say are discussed.   Sam Silverman, age 20, knew just what to say while introducing his father, the show host, at GW Hall of Fame induction assembly on 9/1/23 at GWHS. Sound of acceptance speech here. It was an event to remember forever and recorded for the end of the show, with video to follow.   Dave Gunders supplies usual great conversation, this week from the East Coast where he’s tending to Henry Gunders, our Troubadour’s dad, age 99. Gunders’ sweet song, Moonrise Western Sky, pays tribute to the orb that fascinates us like a father. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMD4ePd0K8c

Rundown -   Susan Stubson and Tim Stubson - 03:18   The Stubsons are entertaining and influential lawyers from Wyoming. Susan was on Episode 106 and her verbal skills and humor delighted. She writes for the New York Times. Mrs. Stubson is joined by her brilliant attorney spouse, Tim Stubson, who is terrific. Stubson chemistry is obvious. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/15/opinion/liz-cheney-wyoming-voters.html   Learn what Christian nationalism has done to Wyoming and the Stubsons' church. Oh my goodness, what happened this past Easter with their pastor going after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for prosecuting Trump. If only Silverman was there to interject at that church. We imagine. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/21/opinion/wyoming-republicans-christian-nationalism.html   Tim Stubson knows well, and discusses, both former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney and current Congresswoman Harriet Hageman. We agree there are similarities between Harriet and Jenna Ellis in their opportunism and narcissism, all part of this crazy era.   Stubsons and host are advocates for Ukraine defeating Russia and soon. Tim Stubson explains the reasons why he’s taken a hard stand advocating for Ukraine, and how the elected GOP in Wyoming are reacting on this fundamental freedom issue. https://twitter.com/TimStubson/status/1692519622409674770   Susan Stubson is in full agreement on Ukraine. She longs for the days of Ronald Reagan and the clarity of fighting for freedom against the Evil Empire. Having the Stubsons on their side is great news for Ukraine. https://twitter.com/GOP4Ukraine/status/1694021328204931523   Learn the latest on Liz Cheney. Find out that abortion clinics are still up and running in Wyoming. Trump prosecutions are considered at an imaginary roundtable in Casper where Silverman might persuade Wyoming members of the bar. The conversation gets amusing.   But then the subject gets dark and disturbing. Trump RETRIBUTION is raised. And the topic gets quite serious. Would not a second term Trump truly take violent actions against Liz Cheney, the Stubsons and non-supportive podcast hosts?   Isn’t violent RETRIBUTION akin to Putin taking out Yevgeny Prigozhin precisely what Trump is pledging? Does that bother MAGA people who know people sure to be Trump targets? And how far will it go? And will it bother MAGA supporting friends and family? Apparently not!   Trump's glowering, raging mugshot is dissected for meaning beyond its raising 7.1 million dollars so far. The grift never ends but Trump’s freedom might as the trio discuss the prospects of conviction(s) and incarceration. GOP debate in Milwaukee reviewed, especially those voting for Trump even as a convicted felon.   Oh my. Silverman pretends to be Chris Christie in Wisconsin shouting out an objection when asked if he’d forgive Trump his convictions. “How many convictions?” followed by a fast “Never mind.” might’ve brought the house down in Milwaukee. Debate performances of Pence, Haley and others evaluated.   Enjoy and share this lively Rocky Mountain panel discussion about the most important issues of our time. Get different perspectives on Earth's hottest new panel show Monday mornings at 6 a.m. Colorado time on all your favorite podcast outlets.
