Dear Friends,
(00:51) DeSantis blames Trump for Satanic Temple display;
(00:00) Could RFK, Jr. become president?
(24:53) COP28 climate summit wrap;
(38:51) Moms for Liberty sex scandal;
(55:16) Paraguayan beef: global politics vs American farmers.
This week’s banter with Charles was a blast, and we covered some important topics. I hope you’ll listen. For fun, here’s a pop quiz/questionnaire:
1. Who bears “blame” for the Satantic Temple at the Iowa State Capitol: Governor Reynolds? Donald Trump? The Prince of Darkness?
2. Do you think Charles has a strong accent?
3. Do you feel the COP28 climate summit was a success or a failure?
4. Which element of the Moms for Liberty sex scandal do you find most intriguing: The polygamy part? The adultery part? The homosexuality part? (We’re not making any of this up.)
5. Is Charles correct predicting Joe Biden will win reelection?
6. Is Ed correct predicting RFK, Jr. will be the next president, or is he off his rocker?
7. What’s better: Corn-fed beef? Grass-fed beef? No beef?
8. Without cheating or searching online, can you find Paraguay on this map?
9. How often do you listen to the Fallon Forum?
10. Would you be willing to make a donation to the longest running independent progressive talk show in Iowa (going on 14 years)? If the answer is YES, visit the Fallon Forum donation page to make a difference.
Thanks! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and onward to 2024.
