On this episode with Neal and Julie...
They kick things off with a preview of their big guest—Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador—who joins later in the show to talk about enforcement challenges with the state’s flag laws, particularly in light of Boise Mayor Lauren McLean's controversial decision to fly an LGBTQ flag in apparent violation of state law. Labrador explains the limits of his power in enforcing certain legislation and shares insights on collaborating with other attorneys general to challenge what he calls racially motivated policies.
Neal and Julie also discuss the broader implications of symbolic gestures like lowering flags to half-mast, triggering a flood of listener texts about whether they'd lower their own flags for figures like the Pope or Jimmy Carter. The pair reflect on the significance people place on flags, the selective outrage over symbolic decisions, and what those reactions reveal about personal values and politics.
Throughout the episode, Neal and Julie maintain their signature blend of serious commentary and tongue-in-cheek humor, including Neal’s quip about referring to Lori Vallow Daybell as “F. Lee Vallow Daybell,” and a running joke about calling Randi Weingarten “sweetheart.”
With plenty of opinionated takes, live listener engagement, and a high-profile guest, this episode dives deep into the tension between law, symbolism, and personal expression in Idaho politics.
