Delve into the motivations of this emerging Democratic leader, Sean Camacho. The podcast dissects threats to our Rule of Law, the Supreme Court scandals and their far-reaching recent rulings, a topic of immense importance in the current political landscape.

The unexpected overturning of Roe v Wade in the Dobbs case and the potential for even more severe cases in the future, particularly if Trump is re-elected, are thoroughly discussed. The fight against fascism is a key focus of the conversation, keeping the audience informed and engaged.
 
Fighting fascism extends to Trisha Calvarese's return visit. The star of Episode 205 returns to brag about her May 22, 2024, beatdown of Greg Lopez in a debate held on the Dan Caplis Show. Trisha dishes on the race so far, her opponents Lopez and Boebert, and the awful rulings by the Trump Supreme Court.
 
When the Democrats gain big momentum based on mass MAGA rejection, won’t Trisha make it close in CO CD4? We wonder why Kyle Clark won’t entertain a Calvarese v Boebert (Lopez) debate when the stakes are so high on June 25, 2024, when Colorado will have a new person in Congress to replace Ken Buck.

Given the discussion of Caplis with Trisha, hear Caplis proclaiming that President Biden will still drop out. Further, Caplis proclaims the existence of spirits from past relatives and the Deep State that are rigging everything against Trump. What can be done to stop all abortions? Apparently, anything, including propaganda. We analyze.
 
Show Troubadour Dave Gunders supplies a song about a working man and a love that went way wrong. "Chop Wood Carry Water" tells the story of a man who got radicalized while following his passion. Current events reviewed. Lessons learned get discussed.

The threat of Trumpist fascism and Trump's pledge of retribution demands a response. Convicted felon Donald Trump, a career criminal, con artist and sex offender, has taken over the GOP. After a cool Bill Walton-inspired AZ/Utah trip, we battle back with music, humor and sharp commentary.

Leslie Fishbein, Terri's older sister, became president at Kacey and was a familiar face on CO television, selling furniture with her winning demeanor. Denver was devastated when Leslie was injured and her slow death due to medical negligence was a shock.
https://www.dailycamera.com/2009/08/16/denver-furniture-exec-leslie-fishbein-dies/
 
When Leslie Fishbein passed away in 2008, the news was prematurely and inaccurately reported on the radio by a “so-called family friend,” Peter Boyles. This incident sparked a furious reaction from the family. Listen to Terri's firsthand account of how Boyles callously handled the tragedy for his own benefit.

"The Rebound" by Dave Gunders - 24:15
 
Mario Nicolais in Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 30:36
 
Outro - 01:45:19
 
This special episode is dedicated to the memory of #32, Bill Walton, who was a guest on Episode 151 less than a year ago. Bill passed away on Memorial Day. Rememberances of the Big Redhead are everywhere, including here.
https://coloradosun.com/author/craig-silverman/
 
Colorado Sun colleague and ace attorney Mario Nicolais returns to Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge to discuss Walton’s passing and Trump's historic 34 felony convictions in his just-concluded New York criminal trial. Mario once worked for Rudy Guiliani for President and has insights into what happened and why.
 
Listen and learn similarities between the New York state court trial and the Denver District Court trial in which Mario Nicolais litigated against Trump at the Fourteenth Amendment, Article 3 trial. Given the Alitos’ flag flying and other high court improprieties, the US Supreme Court is in awful shape.
 
And what about the legal profession now? Where are professional associations condemning Trump and Alito? What about the lawyer broadcasters backing Trump’s cry that jury trials in NYC and Dem-dominated big cities are rigged? What are the consequences of Trump’s behavior and should he be incarcerated?
 
New York had a righteous prosecution and the defendant's behavior was deplorable. A constitution crisis is here and Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge gets more salty than normal as the misuse of the word “fascist” gets reviewed.
 
We shudder as we contemplate Cabinet Secretaries named Davis, Flynn and Patel in a Trump 2.0 scenario. Can our Rule of Law survive? Listen to Mario Nicolais’ vision of horrible election and post-election possibilities.
 
The show starts with the wise reflections of Show Troubadour Dave Gunders who sings his song epitomizing Bill Walton’s recovery from 36 surgeries and pursuit of the truth. We review how media figures spin the public to our detriment and we play "The Rebound" in memory of Bill Walton.

Boulder DA Michael Dougherty and Ryan Brackley, Esq. - 03:40
 
Outro - 56:47
 
Craigs’ Colorado Corner reconvenes the Centennial State’s best panel show to analyze Donald Trump's trials again. NY v. Trump goes to the jury!! Boulder DA Michael Dougherty and Ryan Brackley are outstanding legal guests. Both served over a dozen years in the Manhattan DA’s Office and rose high. They know Josh Steinglass and Susan Hoffinger.
 
What about Donald Trump's contempt for the process? Is Trump sleeping? How has Judge Merchan performed? What about Manhattan juries? How do they differ from Denver or Boulder? Michael Dougherty is DA for Colorado’s 20th Judicial District.
https://bouldercounty.gov/district-attorney/
 
Ryan Brackley is a native New Yorker who started as a prosecutor in Manhattan, moved to Boulder to be Stan Garnett’s #2 and then to Denver to become #2 under DA Beth McCann. Now, he’s an accomplished criminal defense attorney.
https://brackleylaw.com/
 
Michael Dougherty used to run over the Brooklyn Bridge to work for former Manhattan DA Cy Vance. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has consulted with Dougherty over important law enforcement matters. That proud, prestigious prosecutorial office has a family feel and New York v Trump may be its biggest case.
https://www.michaelforboulderda.com/
 
Is there a threat to the rule of law? How did Judge Mershan and the attorneys perform? What will be the verdict? Was there a fair trial? Are these charges fair? Why did the prosecution not seek to admit Trump's out-of-court statements during the trial, where Trump was offering inconsistent defenses and belittling the process?
 
How and why is New York law different from Colorado and other jurisdictions? Why does the defense go first in closing arguments? Why read the instructions “after” closing arguments and why can’t the jury possess a copy to the jury room? What’s with all the readback of cold transcripts by court reporters generally ill-prepared for the task? 
 
Why is Juror #1 the foreperson? All these things are so different in Colorado. The parties and lawyers are required to stay at the courthouse. Can there be a worse job than being the person in the waiting room with the defendant? All these things are so different in Colorado. 
 
The panel discussed the jury questions and requests for readbacks on their first day of historic deliberation. Brackley and Dougherty are superb panelists with great experience and perspective to analyze New York v. Trump. Give it a listen. This show will stimulate your mind.

"Notwithstanding" by Dave Gunders - 01:43:48
 
Outro - 01:49:33
 
Award-winning journalist Jeremy Jojola delivers a remarkable interview, paying homage to his amazing late father, Samuel Jojola, who married Linda and produced Jeremy in his beloved New Mexico. Jojola's family roots are an amazing part of America.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwUX-IypQnY
 
A dedicated father, Jeremy Jojola felt horrible about how his engagement with Twitter (X) detracted from his time with his now four-year-old daughter and put him in a foul mood. So he stopped, and it has been a year of better mental health.
https://jeremyjojola.com/2024/05/06/one-year-clean-and-sober-from-twitter/
 
Jojola discusses his favorite movie, The Milagro Beanfield War, and the discussion gets enlightening. The story reminds the host of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway and the host’s recent trip to Spain. Spanish roots run deep.
https://jeremyjojola.com/2023/08/22/why-the-milagro-beanfield-war-still-matters-35-years-later/
 
Nazis and far-right extremists have been the subject of Jojola’s most important reports. Four years ago, Jeremy won the Don Bolles Medal awarded by the Society of Investive Journalists and Investigators. Discussion of Trump’s United Reich talk and possible election ensues.

Recently, Jeremy Jojola won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award (for a second time) for his 9News story about the Red Barn on the way to Denver International Airport. You can see and hear the amazing artistry of Jojola’s storytelling talent.

Troubadour Dave Gunders debriefs his host on his Spain trip and discusses the impact of Trump’s “Unified Reich” posting. A menorah purchased in Spain triggers stories, as do friends in Andalucia. As for Nugs and Avs collapses, we review connections to the law firm of "champions no more." Gunders’ righteous indignation song is "Notwithstanding."

Craig reviews Dr. Eric Coomer’s Civil Case - 11:03
 
Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:21:12
 
"Song Of Columbus" by Dave Gunders - 01:24:41
 
Outro - 01:29:41
 
There have been massive delays in the Denver District Court civil case of Coomer v. Trump, Giuliani, Powell, Malkin, Oltmann, Salem Corporon, et al. Still, many court filings allow us to play the sound that makes the case—Trump’s Big Lie flowed out of Colorado.
 
Trace the 'sound' trail from the crucial weeks following the 2020 election. During this time, #DenverTrumpRadio stations, 630KHOW and 710KNUS, played a significant role in amplifying dual aspects of Trump’s despicable efforts. Notably, Jenna Ellis used the Den Caplis show as a platform to promote the 'Stop the Steal' narrative.
 
Hear Oltmann’s frequent guesting on 710KNUS (Salem-Colorado) at the end of 2020, where he set forth his tall, destructive tale that he intercepted Eric Coomer’s alleged Antifa conference call, in which he pledged to rig the election against Trump through Dominion Voting Systems.
 
Listen chronologically as Oltmann, with allies and sponsors like Mike Lindell, spreads his defamations about Dr. Eric Coomer. It begins with Randy Corporon, who worked with fellow lawyers Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell. Next, Oltmann's radio appearances with Deb Flora, George Brauchler and Peter Boyles get reviewed.
 
A sound record is made here of how American democracy has been getting destroyed from within by MAGA manipulations and disinformation. Hear the incriminating words of the media members who helped bring disaster to our democracy with their normalization of MAGA.
 
Authoritarianism and disinformation march in when democracies and the courts react way too slowly. We advance the Coomer case by letting you hear the evidence for yourself. The trial may still be years away, but we have the sound today.
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/24/magazine/eric-coomer-dominion-election.html
 
The host just went to Spain to gain new perspectives on America from Marbella and Seville. The NY v Trump trial is going fast, but not most other MAGA-related litigation. The view of America from Europe right now is trepidation. Show Troubadour Dave Gunders brings us his classic, "Song for Columbus," about a Spanish voyager.
