Podcast 128

Top Stories! Get updated on the week’s top stories. We’re getting back on the horse after Easter weekend. My take on the Bundy Ranch Standoff? More than a tax issue, this is a political corruption issue. Continuing to watch Eastern Ukraine for signs of trouble, as the ‘Geneva Accord’ looks more and more like Munich! Or, maybe August 1914. Maybe it’s just eclipse energy! Democrats have been told to stop saying ‘recovery’ … Why? There goes Pope Francis again, popping off about ‘Free Markets’ and all the damage they cause. Plus, updates on where I’ll be speaking next in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metro. Sponsored by Plan Vision. Simple, Smart and Focused

Stories. Spring Rains. A warm rain on Saturday night triggers my memories as I podcast live from the deck, for the first time in 2014. It’s about time. Some of the stories that have been floating around from last week and this weekend, and some story lines to look for in the coming week. Whether you are flying back from Easter with the family, on your walk, or the commute, if you live in the upper midwest, it’s nice to hear and to feel the warm rain of Spring! The Light Rail may derail MPR Bob, who is concerned the ‘vibrations’ may scuttle his ‘audio’. Restaurants in Minneapolis are so loud, how long do you think it will be before they pass an ordinance requiring establishments to have earplugs available for patrons. (Minneapolis has already done this with music venues). Plus, biometric gun bracelets by executive order, food inflation, job ‘scarcity’, the end of the world and more!

The Bob Davis Podcasts 2014 Election Primer! In 2014, voters will choose all 435 seats of the US House of Representatives, 33 US Senate Seats, Governors and state houses in individual states. Pundits and talking heads are making wild predictions, or blathering about the 2016 presidential election when voters have very important decisions to make. Get the perspective you need on the election: In this first blush for 2014, what to look for in national analysis of polling and issues, and what is needed to win races where they count; locally. There will be more podcasts about the 2014 elections, but now that Minnesota endorsement races are over, I can give you some things to be aware of as we head into election season. Now, some of you have been looking for longer podcasts, so Podcast 126 is a little longer. Be careful what you pray for! Sponsored by Baklund R & D
