In an interview with U.S. Senator Jim Risch, the conversation focused on the success of President Trump’s tariff policies, which Risch defended as effective due to other countries’ reliance on the U.S. economy. Risch expressed conditional support for a potential tariff rebate for Americans, emphasizing the need to address the national debt. He also discussed his legislative efforts, including the “287(g) Program Protection Act” to improve cooperation between local and federal law enforcement on immigration, and a bill to require federal energy regulations to have a five-year sunset clause, aiming to return power to elected officials. The hosts then segued into other topics, including the announcement that Senator Ted Cruz’s podcast, “The Verdict,” will be joining the station’s weekend lineup.
Neal and Julie also engaged in a wide-ranging discussion on various cultural and political issues. They poked fun at Vice President Kamala Harris’s rumored book tour for her failed presidential campaign and invited listeners to suggest satirical book titles. The conversation then shifted to media bias, criticizing the Idaho Statesman for omitting key details in a crime report, specifically that the suspect was a Mexican citizen and the crime was a “violent rape,” which they contrasted with the original police press release. This led to a broader critique of left-leaning media outlets manipulating language to fit a narrative, citing historical examples and recent controversies like the American Eagle ad featuring Sydney Sweeney. The show concluded on a lighter note, poking fun at Australia’s recent failed rocket launch.
