On the Halloween episode of The Neal Larson Show, hosts Neal Larson and Julie Mason discuss the ongoing government shutdown, focusing on the political stalemate surrounding the “Clean CR” (Continuing Resolution). They highlight that Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have passed the measure, but Democrats are now blocking it. A clip from the Teamsters president is played, urging politicians to pass the resolution and reopen the government to prevent harm to working families. The show’s main event was supposed to be a live mayoral debate for Idaho Falls between Lisa Burtenshaw and Jeff Alldridge, but the hosts announce live on air that Burtenshaw withdrew just before the show due to illness.
In place of the cancelled debate, the hosts interview the remaining candidate, Jeff Alldridge, who agrees to stay for a segment. During the interview, Alldridge addresses what he feels are personal attacks from his opponent’s campaign and discusses his vision for the city. Key topics include improving planning and zoning to manage growth, addressing Idaho Falls’ infrastructure backlog without raising taxes, and his support for the police department. The episode also features a live musical performance by Kyler Holverson and Jordan Adams, discussion of a major traffic incident on I-15, and the hosts sharing personal ghost stories for Halloween.
