On this episode with Neal and Julie…
The duo covers a wide range of topics—starting with the controversial decision by Boise’s mayor to fly the LGBTQ flag in defiance of state law, sparking debate about First Amendment rights and political posturing for 2028. Neal teases a potential "flagpole" segment to open up listener opinions on the issue.
They also dive into the recent officer-involved shooting in Pocatello involving a 17-year-old autistic teen, where Neal urges listeners to lower the temperature, stressing the importance of context, investigation, and fair judgment.
Julie shares a clip about a child disciplined for drawing pictures in class, which leads to a broader conversation on wokeness in education and the overreach of DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) in schools. Neal's frustration with Daylight Saving Time resurfaces, though he admits liking the longer summer evenings and pokes fun at Arizona for not observing the time change.
There’s also discussion around drug use among high school seniors, which segues into their confusion about modern paraphernalia and concerns about how society handles addiction. On the political front, Neal speculates about Kamala Harris’s chances for a comeback and makes a case for Gavin Newsom as the likely Democratic frontrunner for 2028.
They touch on everything from the purpose of Star Cards and IDs to states' rights, the economy, and even garden prep advice—wrapping up a lively, unpredictable, and thought-provoking hour.
