You’re Fired! A record number of Americans decided not to vote for Donald Trump.  Show today features electoral reactions of some friends of The Craig Silverman Show.   Welcome back Denver suburban mother and GOP legislative candidate Samantha Koch.   We talk about the election where she and her hero Donald Trump were on the same ballot.    Laura Chapin returns for a record third visit. This brigh...

Tricks. Treats. Halloween show opens with a sad disappearance. GERARD RUDOFSKY created one of the best Jewish delis in America. For many decades, Zaidy’s has thrived as a tremendous Denver dining destination. No more. Sad. But Gerard remembers the great times. Find out what happened.   After deli discussions, let’s talk sex with esteemed Denver sex and couples’ therapist, LISA THOMAS. www.onlineco...

Electoral College. It is odd the way we elect the President in America. Colorado’s voting right now on Prop 13 -- the National Popular Vote.  Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge welcomes proponents and opponents.   First is Jesse Wegman, attorney/author of Let the People Pick the President: The Case for Abolishing the Electoral College. Jesse is also on the editorial board of the New York Times and contribute...

Let’s vote! And not for the guy retweeting lies about Seal Team Six, and touting QAnon as nice pedophilia fighters. Really GOP? Backing our super-spreading President is super bad judgment.   Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge welcomes back Amy Padden, a dynamic Democratic candidate for 18th Judicial District DA. She gets Craig’s endorsement, and you will understand why.   The Lounge also welcomes Doug Schoen...

Crazy Times. The Yiddish word is mashugana and it can apply to periods of time, certain situations, and/or to people.  Trump is COVID-mashugana, and he has brought on crazy and divisive times. We go over the crazy things Trump said this week. We all must consider what comes next.   Good discussions help.  Laura Chapin provides great talk as she feels for Kamala but not for Judge ACB. Laura preferr...

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...

Spencer Haywood!  When I was a Denver adolescent with hoop dreams, an older teen came to town and taught us all about big-time basketball. Not in the Denver Prep League, or college, but in the American Basketball Association where Haywood starred for the Denver Rockets. 30 points and 20 rebounds a game. Can you imagine? 1970 ABA Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. I saw it happen.   This...

Rosh Hashanah! A new start with a new year. Right on time. Just what we needed. In an age when humans need to pray most, our congregations are either socially distanced, closed, outdoors, or on-line. But it is an interesting thing about talking to the Almighty. Everybody does it differently. In their own time. In their own way. Some even podcast.   Dave Gunders, our Troubadour, has written a beaut...

Talk Radio. Not good. Not since hosts and management sold out to Trump. Joe Walsh was a syndicated star at Salem Media till he jumped off Trump Train. Joe and I discuss true Salem stories. Prager & Hewitt. Larry Elder too. Damning truths are told by former Tea Party leader.   Walsh is a former GOP Congressman now fighting to save the country by opposing Trump and his enablers. Joe knows Cory Gardn...

Breaking Up. It is hard to do. So sang Neil Sedaka and countless crooners in one form or another. Our Troubadour Dave Gunders has the better break-up song for this historic Trump era. Called “Hole in the Head,” it echoes a phrase Dave and I heard from our mothers. “We need that like a hole in the head!”   In other words, stay away from certain relationships and bad associations. If you find yourse...

Quitters never win. We need to win the hearts and minds of the American people. Don’t quit on democracy. Defeat Donald Trump.   America is not Trump’s country club. Don’t let him cheat to win another club championship where he makes up all the rules and somehow gets others to go along. Former Colorado Speaker of the House of Representatives, Terrance Carroll, returns to Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge rea...

Morning light. The world starts anew. We open our eyes. Most of us wait till the sun is in the summer sky but not those who have to rise early for work. For many years, famed meteorologist Marty Coniglio woke in the wee hours of the morning to be part of the wake-up crew at 9News.   Others just love the morning.  That is true for our Troubadour, Dave Gunders, who gifts us this week with his beauti...

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 hi...

My Saturday morning podcast covers four big news stories. First guest, famous former Denver cop DARIL CINQUANTA (the Blue Chameleon) just caught escaped convict who shot him over 40 years ago.    SPENCER KUVIN, Palm Beach, Florida victims’ rights’ attorney tells us how his clients and he started cases against Epstein and Maxwell and what he fears will happen to Ghislane now. Wow! What a session of...

CIVIL RIGHTS! We all have civil rights. Some people hire me to enforce those rights. Other times, I seek to protect civil rights through my free speech into a microphone. Or through my penning columns as Columnist at Large for the Colorado Sun.   The passing of Rep. John Lewis has got me focused on civil rights and the sacrifices necessary to make civil rights happen. Bloody Sunday in Selma concer...

Are people good or bad? Are we considerate or selfish bastards? Colorado Governor Jared Polis knew some scofflaws, realizing there was not much punishment behind his mask mandate, would act like selfish bastards, emulating the President of the United States.   Donald Trump is sending secret police into American cities and we talk about that outrage with former Congressman John LeBoutilliier. He’s...

Theme this week is Bank Job – just when we thought we were getting to other side, we have hit the bank, and are going back again. Craig urges folks to follow Fauci and critiques flat earthers on Trump train.  And then there are Bank Jobs as in bank robberies, including discussion of 1991 United Bank Massacre with then Denver DA Norman Strickland Early, Jr. Norm and Craig reminisce, and then tackle...

Jeremy Jojolla from 9News shines as he IDs Nazis in Colorado. Mike Nelson from Channel 7 is always welcome truth teller about climate and Covid. We needed a DC insider. Few better than Eli Stokols, White House reporter for the LA Times.   Phil Weise...
