In this episode of The Neal Larson Show, Neal and Julie discussed local politics and sports, focusing on the upcoming Idaho Falls mayoral debate and the BYU vs. Utah “Holy War” football game. The hosts analyzed the mayoral race, comparing candidates Lisa Burtenshaw and Jeff Alldridge, and devoted significant time to the issue of metered water. Audio clips from the debate were played, showcasing each candidate’s position on water conservation and the high cost of implementing a metering system. The show also engaged the audience with the heated football rivalry, asking listeners to text in which team they were rooting for and to share one nice thing about the opposing team, leading to several humorous and sarcastic responses.
The conversation also shifted to national politics, highlighting a contentious debate in the Virginia Attorney General race. The hosts covered the controversy surrounding Democratic candidate Jay Jones, who had sent messages expressing a death wish for a political opponent and his family. They played audio from the debate, critiqued Jones’s apology as politically motivated, and condemned what they viewed as dishonest media coverage of the issue. Throughout the broadcast, the hosts took calls and read texts from listeners who shared their opinions on the mayoral candidates, the football game, and the political activism of a well-known local news anchor.
