Send us a text

In this dynamic episode of the Neal Larson Show, Neal and Julie tackle a wide spectrum of headlines, culture shifts, and consumer concerns. The episode kicks off with reflections on the media's response to recent U.S. military strikes on Iran's nuclear facility, questioning why some Democrats oppose a move supported by nearly 70% of Americans. Neal and Julie scrutinize the political strategy behind such opposition and the broader lack of “low-hanging fruit” for Democrats heading into an election year.

They segue into how government narratives, media leaks, and public trust collide—especially in stories about defense and intelligence. Pete Hegseth's impassioned comments on Trump’s strike order are highlighted as an example of patriotic pushback to media skepticism.

Later, the show pivots to growing unease around food safety, chemicals in our diet, and the possibility of mRNA vaccines in poultry. The hosts question whether America's processed food system is contributing to obesity, brain fog, and even behavioral changes. Julie shares her frustrations with manipulated produce and expiration dates that defy nature. They also discuss political shifts in food regulation—from sugar limits to RFK Jr.’s push to eliminate harmful additives.

The episode closes with listener texts, personal stories of hardship related to abortion laws, and the importance of legislative nuance in addressing deeply human situations. And, in lighter moments, there’s chatter about Weird Al’s upcoming Idaho tour and 4th of July outfit planning.
