Exploring the COVID lab-leak theory

Posted on by

Dear Friends,

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THIS WEEK’S PODCAST

Dr. Charles Goldman

With the twin threats of climate change and nuclear war posing an unparalleled threat to life on Earth, I have minimal interest in continued discussion about COVID-19. That said, I was fascinated to hear Dr. Charles Goldman’s take on the lab-leak theory of the virus’s origin. I hope you’ll check it out, starting at the 38:46-minute mark.

I also hope you’ll check out my conversation with Brandi Webber, Ward 3 candidate for the Des Moines City Council. We’re inviting all eight candidates to join me for an interview, and seven so far have committed.

Of course, I hope you’ll listen to the entire podcast and help us continue to build support for alternatives to the right-wing shock jocks.

This week’s program also covers a federal ruling on eminent domain for pipelines, the latest climate emergency developments, the leaked Kremlin report linking Vladimir Putin to Donald Trump, and how the corporate food giants trick you into believing your favorite brand is an independent company.

Here’s the complete line up, with time stamps:

(02:49) Eminent domain for Big Oil made easier
(13:54) Wildfires in the US West, historic floods in Germany
(26:59) America’s most corrupt voter: Vladimir Putin
