US Senator Jim Risch joined the program to discuss the recent passage of the "one big beautiful bill," which he described as a "Herculean task." He detailed that the legislation preserves the 2017 tax cuts, provides new tax cuts for working Idahoans (including on tips and overtime pay), secures funding for the southern border, cuts $1.6 trillion in federal spending, and implements Medicare reforms by requiring able-bodied adults to work to receive benefits. The senator also commented on the criminal investigation into James Comey and John Brennan, calling them "hopeless, far left" and predicting an indictment. Risch also touched upon his re-election announcement, which was unexpectedly revealed by Donald Trump, and his meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he praised as a strong leader.
Following the interview, the hosts and callers engaged in an extensive debate about immigration, specifically focusing on a potential plan to allow illegal agricultural workers to remain in the country. The discussion weighed the economic necessity of these workers for the nation's food supply against the principle of upholding immigration laws. Callers and hosts explored various potential solutions, including creating new legal pathways with strict requirements, levying fines on employers, and creating work programs for unemployed Americans. The hosts concluded by criticizing the imprecise and overuse of the word "amnesty" in political discourse, arguing that it has become a diluted term that fails to capture the nuances of various policy proposals.
