6.13.2025 -- NLS -- Raul Labrador, DeSantis Crackdown, and Dump Truck Chaos

On this episode with Neal and Julie, the show blends sharp political insight with entertaining local flavor. Neal and Julie dive into cultural tensions surrounding gender identity and bathrooms, discuss Governor DeSantis’ protest crackdown policy, and explore reactions to Democrat governors’ dodging of basic legal questions. They also speak with Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador, who outlines his support for Trump’s National Guard deployment during riots and Idaho's stance on illegal immigration, biological males in women’s sports, and mental health for legal professionals.

Listeners also get a preview of the local protest scene, complete with Neal and Julie's plans for on-the-ground interviews and a bit of Lee Greenwood flair. To top it off, they cover a now-viral dump truck crash in Idaho Falls—possibly caused by a fan distracted while listening to the show. It’s equal parts commentary, community, and comedy.

Will you show us? 807? Good morning, East Idaho. It's Friday, the 13th of June, 2025. And, Neil Larson, along with Julie Mason, who's leaving me for a week, I am alone. I have to host this show with only four days. I'll be back next Friday. Can't believe you're doing that. Who would leave for a week and leave the other one alone?

I look, you were gone longer than a week. I have a deficit here. That's different. Not really. I'm glad you're going. I think. I think you'll have a great time in Nashville with your girlfriends. Yep. We get together almost every year. High school friends. I consider myself very blessed that I have friends from high school. So you. We're kind of anomalies with this.

Like, we have people that we we have lifetime friendships with. Keep in touch with and send unmentionable texts to. Absolutely. Yeah. It's the text feed that can't believe that's that's that is so true. I can't tell you how many text message threads we've had. We're like, okay, everyone delete this now. Okay, I'm gonna delete it. So, yeah, you're you're going to go back there, you're going to do a little boot scootin and boogie in with, you're going to country line dance.

I've got my boots and everything and my cowboy hat. Okay. There will be pictures. There will be proof. There is going to be proof of this, Okay. All right. Well, it sounds sounds fun. Yeah. I'm manifesting I'm going to I'm we're going to happen into a bar, and some big country artist is going to be playing because they all own bars back there.

They do. That's like a thing, isn't it? Yeah. You just go from like, live music from bar to bars. It's like NBA stars and car dealerships, like, right, country stars and bars. There you go. That's how it. And it's Nashville. Yeah, it's the capital. All right. Well, we have a lot to do before, before you leave.

Because we have studio covers. Studio for covers I should say Taylor Brunson will perform some Chris Isaac force wicked game. I'm so excited about that. Really looking forward to that. I love that song. We also have Attorney General Raul Labrador coming up during the 9:00 hour. Today is our open house because we are commemorating five years of being on the air.

The actual anniversary was this past Sunday, June 8th was the the launch back in 2020 of Newstalk 109. And I thought, you know what? And we found out yesterday it's the wood anniversary. It is the wood anniversary. We're trying to commemorate that a little bit. So yeah, hopefully that's gonna like I mean, because why would we do anything timely until the very last minute?

Right. There you go. But I've, I've actually had the thought to do an open house for a couple of months. I'm thinking we should do something a little more to, to mark the occasion. So, and find a good excuse to eat something. So we put together the open house. We're going to have some little sandwiches and cake and cookies and, we've got fridges full of cold soda for people who come through.

And any time between 11 and 1, just stop by our studio here at 854 Lindsey Boulevard. There you go. It's a it's going to be a party. It's super fun. You get to see all of the studios, actually, because you can tour the whole radio station. So that's a little bit interesting. Yeah. And then, yeah, just come hang out with us.

It's a good time. Take some five really good years. It has been five, five good years and we'll take some pictures, record some greetings if you if you want. And you're willing. Because I love hearing listeners say good things about the radio station. Yes you do. It's always they write the promos for you. They win. Yeah, they really kind of do.

We crowdsource that kind of thing around here. So we look forward to that. Also tomorrow is the No Kings protest. There are several of them around the state, including in Pocatello and Idaho Falls. And Julie and I are toying with the idea of showing up just to interview some of those fine folks whose thinking is clear and whose emotions are stable.

I know, I should we really do this? We might. I guess we should. I, I don't think there will be violence. Okay? I really don't I don't anticipate violence from from the I've always said we have really amateur liberals around here. Because we really kind of do that and they're kind of the me too. Like, oh, they're doing this in big cities.

Let's, let's pretend to do the same thing here. Let's pretend to care about these issues too. And then they show me, do them. Yeah. Is that too denigrating? Well, I don't think so. I think that's probably true. But there always is the outside chance. I think they're scratching an itch in another part of their lives. We've talked about this, and this is, a place of purpose that they can, you know, it's an outlet for them.

I do believe these two, the Pocatello and Idaho Falls ones, will be Popery protests. I don't think everyone there is going to be frustrated with Trump and no King's. I think that there will be lots of other mixed in yes spirit Haitians that they have. Yeah. Is that raw shock protests can we call it is what you need it to whatever protest you need it to be show up and let it be that it can morph into that for you.

Yeah, yeah. So that's happening tomorrow. Can I make a confession? We had considered announcing the wrong times for these protests. But then I thought, that's that's not a that's kind of a jerk move. So, I know we're we're not going to do that, but, we are let me in fact, you know, we'll just give them a little love.

That's fine. I think that, that that's okay. It's if if they're committed to protesting legally, peacefully, then I'm all in on this. I, I absolutely defend their right to to do this in Pocatello. 11:30 a.m. at Caldwell Park and in Idaho Falls, 4 p.m. at the Broadway Bridge. How many duplicate attenders will there be? Where will there be?

Do you think there will be people who will attend Pocatello, drive up their car and drive up, I don't know. We'll we'll know if you stood at the overpass at Fort Hall and counted the Subarus, you would probably know how many are are going up. It's like a pizza index. Yes. Right. Exactly. Which we haven't talked about.

You haven't talked about. This is the Subaru Index. We could probably predict how many people are going to make the drive. Make the drive. Yeah. And hit both protests. Yes. So, Yeah. And then, there is one in Driggs at 10 a.m. and salmon is having one, salmon. Lemhi County salmon. So it's in a phone booth on Main Street in San.

They're hoping for six attendees. Yes, that might be. Actually, that might be a little more. I, I you might be generous in saying that I have family in salmon and friends in salmon. I don't that's going to be weird. Yeah, I, I guess there might be some granola types in salmon. Sure. I think they're everywhere now. Yeah, I think you're right.

It I think it's a lot to ask people in Idaho to protest on a day like we're going to have tomorrow, because we don't get very many of them. All right. Should I go camping or should I protest? What should I do? Yeah. It's true. So, anyway, I am strongly considering and, going and interviewing some of the people, and I'm not.

I'm not gonna argue with them. I'll just ask them questions, okay? And and test their knowledge. All right? That's what it'll be. It'll it'll be a quiz. It'll be a civics quiz. I'll ask them who is it that does the prove me wrong? The guy I don't really love Crowder. Crowder. Yeah, yeah Stephen Crowder. Yeah, yeah I could do something like that.

Yeah. So I did also. This is bad. My bad angel is really active today because I thought we work for radio station. We have access to really loud sound systems and we could show up, set one up, play YMCA and Lee Greenwood on loop. You could would be kind of fun because I am proud to be an American.

And at least I know I'm free. I'm not going to forget the men who died and gave that right to me. So we will proudly stand. Okay? We can't go on. That's just. That's just what is wrong with us today. I don't know, it's it's it's a it's a Friday. So. Okay, let's talk about this pizza index thing.

Okay. You sent this tweet to me this morning. And, this is an interesting but known, apparently known phenomenon for biggest pizza places nearest the Pentagon saw a huge surge one hour before the first strikes tonight in Iran. And you may be thinking that's certainly not an accident. And it's not it's actually a fairly respected way to see if something is going on at the Pentagon.

It is called the Pentagon Pizza Index. It's very simple. If the pizza places around the Pentagon see a huge increase in activity, something's probably going down. Specifically, if it's happening in the evening into the night, there's even a Twitter account that looks at this, the Pentagon pizza report. Another highly respected way to look at this, although controversial, is the number one gay bar around the Pentagon.

And about an hour before the strikes tonight, as you can see, it was much less busy than usual. So yeah, pour one out for Freddy's Beach Bar and Restaurant. The pizza places, though they cast in, as they often have throughout the years. I guess this goes back decades. It's very highly respected. Who would've thought? But I mean, it's the little things.

All right. So apparently the pizza consumption around the Pentagon is a reliable predictor that something's going down. Yeah, they're hanging out. They're staying at the Pentagon. So the the pizza all happens so that they can watch as the the conflict between Israel and Iran unfolded. Yeah. Which which it did I mean, we call it a conflict, but the amount of force that Israel used destroyed their nuclear infrastructure, probably not all of it, but a chunk of it killed four of their commanders, I believe.

Or was it three? They killed three of the commanders and five of the scientists. Okay. All right. I have seen four on other. But what we're seeing on the TVs in the studio today is three. So. Okay, so it's been, let's say three for certain. Okay. So that's happening. And then Iran tried to send some retaliatory drones that takes hours.

And they got shut down or captured some other way. So yeah because they have to cross several countries to get to Israel. And like Jordan intercepted a whole bunch of them because when they when entered that airspace Jordan's like, no, no, no. Yeah. I'm not having your crappy military equipment accidentally come down in our country. We're getting rid of these.

Yeah. Yeah. So and now Donald Trump is is I say leveraging, but I don't mean it in any bad way. It's he's doing exactly what he should. He's leveraging Iran to come to the table basically saying I gave you 60 days. Let's make a deal so that you never get a nuclear weapon, but you can have a nuclear program.

And this was day 61. There's still time if you want to come to the table and, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. And they know they've been warned. This isn't the first time that Donald Trump has said this. And we asked Senator Risch about it yesterday. And he said, well, it could be really a big deal.

We'll see how it goes. I mean, he wasn't going to, you know, give away inside secrets. There. But this was a big deal. Yeah. Yeah it was. And I think it's just going to keep happening. And you think about it. Fox had a piece this morning. Apparently Israel is fighting wars on seven fronts right now with Hamas.

Hezbollah? He's they've got something going on in Yemen. I mean, it's that they are they truly are pretty remarkable in their ability to defend themselves. Yes. Yep. So all right. It's 820 on Newstalk 179, Neil Larson along with Julie Mason. So Julie, I got home from Alaska, went out to my backyard and I thought, okay, I hope my tomatoes made it.

And boy did they make it. They are at least twice as big. I'm so excited for you! Salsa is on. Tap it. Yes it is. And and it's not just that they've grown a ton, but the leaves are the deepest, darkest, lush green that I've seen. Now, I did it different because I screwed up the the potted tomatoes a couple of years ago, a couple of summers ago, and I don't think I added enough food, not fertilizer.

So I talked to Rex. He's, you know, one of the one of the experts of many at Town and Country Gardens. He said, yeah. Try this. I told him my setup. So I did what he told. And now I've got these amazing. And you like tomatoes? If I bring you tomatoes, will you eat them? You don't.

I will chop them up and put them in a like a cowboy salsa. Okay. All right, well, we'll plan on that. But, I mean, we still have weeks and weeks for them to grow, but they are growing like crazy right now. That's because you asked the experts. They told you what to do, and you got high quality tomato plants.

Yes, from town and country gardens. Like, if you're going to put the time in like this, do it right. I know, I know, get, get after it. And, it's really not that hard if you follow their instructions. I got my tomatoes from Town and Country Gardens, and I got my expertise at Town and Country Gardens. It was un special, too, by the way.

Was. It didn't cost me anything. Wow. It was what a deal. Yeah, I know, it's crazy. Yeah. Anyway, I'm. I'm thrilled with it. And looking forward to watching them grow through the summer. South of Idaho Falls, across from the malting plant right there on Yellowstone Highway. Make sure you yell it loud and proud. Neil and Julie sent you when you walk through the door.

It is pride month, so, yeah, loud and proud, Joe. All right. It's 822 now on Newstalk 179. We'll be back. Was still a few minutes away from our studio for cover this morning. Taylor Brunson will join us in about 15 minutes right here on Newstalk 179. It's 826 on Newstalk 170. Neil Larson, along with Julie Mason and couple of, really quick, awkward clips yesterday during the grilling of three blue state Democrat governors, was Governor Pritzker, and he was asked if men should be using women's bathrooms.

Mr. Governor, do you think the biological men should be able to use women's restrooms? I'm not sure how this has to do with immigration. It's just a yes or no question. What? Why are you saying this? I thought we were men. Should be using doing fact finding. I'm sorry. Do you think men should be allowed in women's restrooms?

I'm not sure why this this has come to this issue. We did the protest against President Trump. Everyone should use the other genders bathroom today. Have you ever used the women's restroom? Not that I can recall. Ever. So you just you wanted everybody else to do it, but you didn't. Sir, I I'm not sure why we're on a topic that isn't.

I'm asking you if you're you're advocating for men to use women's restrooms, but you didn't do it. I do not advocate that. No, you. Well, actually you did. You said everyone should use the other genders bathroom today. I can tell you that you are in this in a way that what we ought to be focusing on is you.

Regrettably, you're encouraged to use women's restroom and the Congress to deal with immigration reform. Do you do you regret encouraging men to use women's restrooms? Again? You're taking us on topics that have. Did you ever consider that women don't want their you invited answer for? So you're okay? By the way, the Democrats do this all the time to Republican witnesses.

They bring up questions that are not relevant to the topic of the hearings. So get over it, Pritzker. This happens all the time. This is just congressional hearings. And my favorite part of the whole thing is the very last part. Where did you say he asked him? Did you ever wonder that women don't want men in the restrooms with them?

Because that's a whole group that's getting forgotten in all of this? Yeah. We're paying so much attention to the transgender and their feelings and and they should get to do whatever they want to. Well, but what about the women who feel violated? Yeah, we're not even talking about them. Well, he clearly did not want to answer the question.

And he knew you know what? I have this this feeling, Julie, through the out the entire Biden administration, the left thought that they had defeated the culture, which means they were going to be able to rule in their deception indefinitely. So they felt comfortable saying ridiculous things like what Pritzker had tweeted out about, everybody ought to use the other genders, bathrooms.

And they didn't think there was ever going to be a day of accountability. Well, in November of 2024, America returned to some semblance of sanity and said, now we're going to hold you accountable for all of those things you've been peddling for the last four years, and they don't like it. Here is another example of that. Nancy Mace with Tim Walz.

What is a woman?

I mean, what is a woman is a question. I'm I'm not sure I understand the question. What is a woman? It really is a question that a kindergartner could ask if asked in class, so I'm not sure. Maybe he needs to go to his schoolteacher wife and she can help him with it. Yeah. I'm sorry. That's too hard for you.

Maybe answer the question, then turn the page. I okay, Tim Walz is absolute. If you're okay, is there any Democrat that will defend him? I don't know, I did think after watching clip after clip about how horrible his performance was last yesterday, and I was watching those clips last night. If he did have any life left in his political career.

Yeah, it's dead now. Okay. He will never go to a national office. Yeah. No, I don't think he will, I really don't. All right. It's 830 on Newstalk 1079. We're excited to shift gears coming up. Taylor Brunson will join us in studio for our studio for cover. And she'll be covering Wicked Game by Chris Isaac. Stick with us.

We also have Attorney General Rule Labrador coming up just over a half an hour from now. It's 839 on this Friday on Newstalk 179, Neil Larson, along with Julie Mason and Julie. We're excited. We've got a studio for cover this morning and it's a good one. I've got an interesting story behind this because I had found Taylor Brunson on social media before like several weeks ago, and we had tried to work out a date.

It didn't happen, and this date did happen, but I got a message from Brad Barlow, one of our our radio talents here at Sand Hill Media, and he's like, you got to have this girl on. And I said, I'm already on it. She's that good. So you have a reputation in Taylor. Hi, Taylor. How are you? I'm great.

How are you guys? We're good, and we're excited to have you in. You're local to East Idaho and Shelley. Correct? Yes. Shelley. Idaho. Okay, well, introduce yourself to our audience here. I'm Taylor Brunson, I'm 18 years old. I just graduated from high school. I've been doing gigs for about a year, and I've been doing music my entire life.

Have nothing released yet. Unfortunately. We're working on it. I want to teach myself to do it because I feel like that's the only way to get my message across. I'm very passionate about my music. But yeah. Yep. Music is my passion. Well, good. And we're we're glad you're here today. How if people want to find you on social media, what's the best way?

My Instagram, my Instagram is tay underscore Elizabeth two five. And then I also have a TikTok. I just started last night just for specifically for music. It's just Tay Elizabeth music. No caps. Okay, so pretty simple to find. And if they just search Taylor Brunson. Yes, yes. I'll say at first last name may may be the easiest.

You've chosen this goes this goes back a few years Chris Isaac wicked game. Yes. Great song. It is a great song. We should mention you're accompanied by Jed Erickson, who's a local musician as well. Well known. So, All right, well, Taylor, are you ready? I'm ready. I'll ever be all right. Taylor. Brunson.

You.

The world was on fire. No one could save me but you.

It's strange what there's are. You make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

No way. I don't want to fall in love.

No way. I don't want to fall in love.

With you.

This year.

What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way. What wicked thing to do. To let me dream of you. What a wicked thing to say. You never felt this way. What a wicked thing to do. To make me dream of you. When I had a word to fall in love.

No.

I don't want to fall in love.

This year.

The world was unfair. No one could save me but you.

Do it. Strange. What desert you make foolish people do.

I never dream that I love somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

No way. I don't want to fall in love.

No way. I don't want to fall in love.

With you.

With you. Underneath.

No other.

Nobody loves no one.

Taylor Brunson on our studio for cover this morning. That was beautiful, Taylor. Thank you so much. Wonderful job. You do have some upcoming gigs. We forgot to mention those earlier. Yeah. So tell us where you'll be. I will be at the Wilson's Club on the 21st. 100% sure where it'll be this month, but that's on my social medias.

Yes. Okay, so just follow me on social, and, we'll know. Taylor, it was a pleasure to have you on this morning. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. It's 845 now on Newstalk 10798 49 on Newstalk 179 on this beautiful, gorgeous, sunny Friday morning. A perfect morning to come to the studios and have a little bit of cake.

Why, that's a really good idea. Are we having cake today? Julie are starting at 11:00. Will there be cookies? There will be cookies. Will there be sandwiches? Absolutely. Will there be Neil and Julie? There will will there be friendly people to greet them at the door at 854 Lindsay Boulevard? You bet. Will it be from 11 to 1?

It will. You left at the soda? Oh, yeah. They can experience what we get every day, which is unlimited, free soda. Yeah. All available to you from the 11 to 1 today. Yeah. It's going to it's going to be great. So we would love for you to stop by. It's our open house. We're just marking the occasion of five years of.

I sound like Rush Limbaugh now, but of excellence in broadcasting. So, we want you to come and just just hang out, say hi, take a picture, record a greeting, and, make it just a quick. You know what? Everybody's got to do a lunch hour, right? Absolutely. And even if you're intermittent fasting, screw it today. Just show up, have a sandwich, and hang out with us.

Can you say that on the radio? I just did, it's my radio show. Sorry if that was offensive. No. But, Yeah. No, we want to have you here with us today, and, and, just enjoying the enjoy the day with us. So. Yeah, it's going to be a good time. You don't want to miss it.

Yeah. Okay. I'm getting more and more convinced that I do need to show up to the No Kings protests tomorrow. Julie, it's. You're like building this in a year. I'm going, and I really want you to get all your crap done so you can come with me. I have a lot to get done before Nashville, so if I can get it done, then I will.

I will join you. Okay. Big, because I think I could take him by myself. But I want you there. I think you're going to be more scared of me. They probably will be. They probably. They don't even know what you are because you're a woman. That's true. This is true. Yeah. Maybe that'll be my question. I'll just walk around.

What is a woman? Yeah. And I'll just get their response. So anyway, so yeah, there's that. We also have coming up in about 15 minutes attorney General Rule laboratory. Boy, you are keeping me busy today. I'm sorry. Like when when it happens, it happens. We gotta run. We just gotta run with it. When things roll, they, they just roll.

So, by the way, if you all have any questions for Attorney General Labrador, you can text them in to us at (208) 542-1278. How long will we have him for? About a half hour, I believe. Oh, good. Okay. All right. So good. Good. Chunk of an interview there. So that's good. We're also watching, apparently Trump is going to meet with the National Security Council.

Obviously after the attack by Israel on Iran. That's a big deal. You had Democrat governors hauled in, three of them. They are sanctuary state governors to try and defend this practice, even when their own cities and states have been, absolutely decimated by crime, committed by illegals. And they did not, I would I would give them all an F yesterday.

Pritzker was Hochul. All of them failed to answer adequately the questions that were directed toward them. Yeah, I would I would be so disappointed if that was my governor that there was nothing that could be. You couldn't even answer the questions. You lied straight to these these people about, following the federal, like, guidelines or laws that have been given to them.

They couldn't even answer about their own attorney generals like the governor and the attorney general of their state, or not even working together. Yeah, I know, I mean, it's it's really kind of pathetic. So, you we have that going on also more locally. Well, it's sort of local. Lori Vallow Daybell, also known as Lori is I call her, she what?

I just it's like RBG, you know, JFK. I'm just shortening it to Lori. VD. She got found guilty again yesterday. It's got to be coming comfortable for her. This is a frequent, you know, there will be most people in their lives will never be found guilty of anything in a courtroom. And she's done it three times now.

Three different trials. Yes, yes she has. She's breaking records. She's like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps. I don't know if we can make the Michael Phelps joke because he had his own legal troubles. That's true. That that is true. But you know what I'm saying, right? Yeah. But you know what's weird? I think the level of interest in in Lori, Lori Vallow Daybell, a is just waned, like, I think word through it, we're kind of done with it.

And I almost feel like normally a verdict in a trial from, you know, with something like this would be big, huge headlines. And I feel like for most people it's like, yeah, when, when, when one. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit like that. Yeah. All right. And then we have the Padilla situation. I'm curious what everyone thinks of the, actually, we have a call.

Should we take the call? Sure. We have about three minutes. This our caller. Go ahead. How are you today? Hi. Fine. So you said you might go to the protests on Broadway. Yeah. And ask people some things. Information gathering? Yeah, I've got a question for you to ask them. Most of these folks think that, there's some problem with the climate.

So the question would be, how much carbon dioxide do you think there should be in the atmosphere? If you could just snap your fingers and get your wish, what percentage of carbon dioxide should be in the atmosphere? And just so that, you know, currently it's 0.04%. Yeah. So if they say something like, well, 2%. Oh, you mean you think we should increase it by 50% by 50 times?

You know, by 50 times what it is now? I'm also curious if some of them would say zero, that we should have no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere if they don't know that plants need it. Yeah. Okay. Report back to us okay I will I will work that question in especially ones if they're wearing like a climate t shirt or something like have a sign that.

Yeah. Because it is probably going to be a potpourri protest. Okay. So what is a woman, what is the optimal level of CO2 in the atmosphere? And I love listeners to send in their questions that I'll, I'll go through them and we'll consider asking them some. What questions should I ask the protesters tomorrow? You know, what I would like you to ask them is if you're all in on illegal immigration, which room are you giving up in your home for someone to live in?

Okay, third question number. Third question. All right. Well, thank you for the call color. You're welcome. All right. Well there we have have it. Yeah. In any others somebody will text someone I'll bring you. So yeah. So you're thinking a couple hundred people I do I think it's going to be well attended. Okay. It's gotten a lot of attention.

Yeah. And you, how many people show up at a protest like this just to see it? Not necessarily, like, be all in on it. And they're outraged too. They just want to be there because FOMO, it might be that you. I thought you were going to take your question a different direction. What how many of these people show up because they're not really that likable and they don't get invited to parties.

So this is their version of a party. That's really funny, actually. I got invited to a party.

It's a it's a it's a disgruntlement party. Does it have a theme? Yeah. No kids, no games. It's a no kings party. It's an outdoor no Kings party. So like a barbecue. No. Not quite like a barbecue, but it still is a party. Yeah, it's a soiree. That's what it is. We're gonna we're going to that's that's actually really funny Julie.

Like they're going there because no, they don't get invited to any other. They don't have friends who are inviting them over. But yeah, maybe they'll find some friends at this protest. Okay. That's that's good, I like that. All right. 858 on Newstalk 1079 we are going to break away. We have Attorney General rule Labrador joining us in about oh seven minutes or so, and we'll spend some time with him.

If you have questions for the AG, you can send them to us on the Stones Automotive Group. Colin. Text line (208) 542-1007 nine. Welcome back 907 on Newstalk 1079 Neil Larson and Julie Mason. And without delay, we want to get to Idaho's Attorney General, Raul Labrador, joining us, from the Capitol this morning. And Attorney General, always great to chat with you.

How are things going? Great. How are you doing? Thanks for having me on your show. Well, it's always a pleasure. And, we're we're great. I know you have been very busy as well. And in fact, Julie and I were just talking. We know we have only a limited amount of time, and we wanted to ask you about you joining Idaho in a coalition of states defending the federal government's response to the LA riots.

Tell us about that. Well, I joined 24 other Republican attorneys general in that joint statement, you know, supporting Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard. Obviously, there's a right to peaceful protest. I think I will always defend the right to peacefully protest. But there's nothing peaceful about arson, about assault, about anarchy. When you watch cars, on fire, where the throwing Molotov cocktails to at law enforcement, they're looting businesses.

People need to be held accountable. And I think, you know what what the president has done, he has deployed the National Guard for specific reasons, to protect federal buildings and to protect the Ice agents that are doing their job. And, you know, that is constitutionally and and statutorily required of them. So it's always amazing to me that that, the left allows these things to happen, and then they justify it.

And I think it's right, for the president to do whatever it's necessary to ensure that, that these things don't get out of hand. So yesterday, attorney General, you had three blue state governors hauled in before Congress to really answer for their policies because they are sanctuary states. And they they don't do a very good job of of complying with federal law or cooperating with the federal agencies in charge of immigration.

Yeah. I want to tap into your legal mind for just a moment. How can a state just decide they want to ignore federal laws and not cooperate with federal authorities on something that is in statute? Well, I do not understand that. I don't understand how anybody, whether it's at the local level, refuses to comply with statutes passed by the legislature or at the national level.

When a governor refuses to comply with with the federal law enforcement, the one thing that is different is, you know, if they refuse to comply or to help, that's okay. But the federal statute says that if they interfere in any way that that is a violation of the law and that they will be arrested. So, so they need to be very careful how they do that.

I mean, we, we, you know, it's an interesting thing because we want states to, to be independent. You know, we're all independent states. I want to make sure that that we don't have the federal government encroaching on, but we also don't want states to allow lawlessness and, and to interfere with, with law enforcement officers when they're performing their duties.

So, I just don't understand what they're doing and what I don't. What's really seems odd to me is that they seem to be falling on their sword on these 80, 20 issues. The American people have actually shifted in such a dramatic way where they understand that if people are here illegally, they should be deported, that people should be coming to the United States, through a legal process, even people that I've, you know, immigrants that come legal immigrants that have come to the United States illegally, they have shifted on this.

They used to be that they had a little bit of maybe, sympathy for these individual, overwhelmingly now in the polls, legal immigrants are saying that that, people that are here illegally should be deported. Yeah. All right. AG, let's talk about, a couple of things that you mentioned in that, but that shifts over to something else that has happened in Idaho.

You mentioned that you want states to be the lead out on these things, and then also that, it's an 8020 issue that is true for this, biological men playing in women and girls sports concept. And of course, Idaho has been the lead in that with Representative Jihad. But now you've also spoken out defending Trump's, executive order to uphold biological truth and protecting women.

How do you feel that the the lawsuits are going across the nation with this in particular in Idaho? And, and what do you see for the future with this 820 issue? Well, I think things are moving in the right direction. I think, you what you see is that that that the legal arena is actually catching up with biological reality, and you're seeing it everywhere.

You saw it this week where Simone Biles decided to to lash out at, at a fellow athlete because she was saying that that, there should only be boys allowed in and boys sports and girls allowed in girls sports. And Simone Biles decided to do some woke, tweet where she went after after another athlete and and it ended up not going very well for her.

In fact, Simone Biles had to take down her tweet and apologize for her tweet because people are just not going to put up with it. I think people were tired of being shamed into agreeing with these things, but it's obvious when you have A65 male that is swimming against women in in competitive sports, that six five male is always going to win.

And what's interesting to me is that you don't ever see, see it going the other way. You never see a woman transitioning into a male into a male going into male sports. It's always a man transitioning into female going into women's sports. So it doesn't go both ways. And it's because they're definitely looking for a biological advantage.

They have different issues that they're dealing with. And and I just think it's time for common sense to take over on these issues in the court. And in the court of not just the legal, you know, of course, but the court of public opinion. All right. We just have a minute or so left. Attorney General Labrador, I wanted to ask you about your visit to North Idaho.

You spoke at the Idaho Chief of Police Association's conference and, joined, the investigators there at their biannual mental health resilience training. And also, you you took up human trafficking as well. You had a pretty busy, excursion up there. Maybe give us your quick take away of that and what you learned and what was accomplished. Well, it was a great way to spend some time in North Idaho, working to strengthen our partnerships between local law enforcement and our Échec task force.

You know, I guess our our Internet Crimes Against Children task force, where we protect vulnerable kids that are being exploited online. I accept I attended the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association conference to thank the police chiefs for working with us and to encourage, further partnerships with them. But the most important thing that I did is I joined my ECC investigators, in their biannual mental health and resiliency training.

So what happens is, as you can imagine, the pictures and the things that these investigators are looking at, they just damage your mind. I mean, these are terrible, terrible pictures that they're looking at so they can catch these perpetrators and what they're looking at, they need to have some mental resiliency. So our office provides twice a year, conference where they talk with, with, their psychological experts and the people that help them just deal with the trauma that exist when you're dealing with these kinds of issues, so they can give them pointers on on how to have good mental health.

Well, they're also protecting the children of, of the state of Idaho. So I'm proud of the work that they do. And I want to give them the resources that they need so they can be strong and they can be mentally strong in the things that they do. All right. We'll we'll leave it there. Attorney General Rule Labrador joining us this morning.

It's always great to talk with you. Attorney General, we really appreciate your time. Oh. Thank you. Thanks for letting me be on the show. Have a wonderful day. All right. And likewise, 916 now on Newstalk 179, we'll break away. We'll come back after this. He's not the OG, he's the AG.

Couldn't upload this kind of a massive file. Yeah. Three and a half gigs. That's a big file. Okay, I'll have to get my cable and do a direct transfer. So, Briony, Taylor was on Spie also. Now, I don't think. I don't think Jeff Roper had it running live, so I don't think there's alive of that. But I just giving you a heads up that sometimes, Jeff Roper is here when we have an artist and when an artist can transition super quickly over there, like Taylor could, Jeff grabs them and puts them on.

So just as a point for you, she was also on CuPy this morning. Super talented. Yeah. That's fun. I'm excited for her. Yeah. Me too. Yeah, it'll be great. Should I if if I go to the. And I am going to go to the protest, should I Facebook live it? Sure. I think that would be cool. Yeah, sure.

I'll even hook up my little microphone. So the audio is really good. Okay. And I'll go around with my little selfie stick. Tripod thing. Yeah. And say, can I interview you? You know, I could get all decked out in, like, liberal gear, get like a rainbow shirt on, and, that might throw your groove off. You think?

Yeah. Yeah, I think it might make it more fun. Well, my, you you think you'll feel comfortable enough doing everything? I don't know, maybe, I mean, I'd go with colored hair, but I don't have any hair. You could color your beard like a glitter beard. You didn't glitter. Do a glitter beard. You threw off my groove. What show?

What show? No idea. That's not even. You love my groove. It's seem vaguely familiar. Emperor's New Groove, actually, one of my favorites. I mean, if we're going to. If we're going to make a top five of animated shows. Yeah, Emperor's New Groove might be on my top five. Just wondering if his animated aerial.

Fox 919 News Talk 1079 on this Friday and on. Well, the eighth anniversary week of Newstalk 179. And I'm so excited. We have less than two hours to go, Julie, until our open house starts here at the Sand Hill Studios. You guys don't want to miss this. Get on down 11 to 1 here at Sand Hill Media Stations.

It is across from Jacobs, 854 Lindsay Boulevard. If you actually want to put it into your GPS. But we're right there. Next to the snake River across from Jacobs. We're going to have cake and cookies and soda and sandwiches and dad jokes and dad jokes. Now I'm going to have to print you off. Some dad jokes, interpretive dance and word I did.

Promised them a hula with coconut shells for you, not me. I'm not doing that.

They're not. Never mind.

I might say what I was about to say on Facebook Live, but I'm not. I won't say it on the air. But, speaking of Facebook Live, Julie. And again. Yes. So 11 to 1. We'd love to have you here. We're just going to hang out. I mean, great people, you know, we will. We're going to be laughing, be somewhat professional, a good time.

I don't want to disappoint you, but we will be professional when you come in and and just like I said, I was going to throw off your crew the questions I'm capable will be professional. When you come in. Don't over promise and under deliver. That's true. I don't. I'll be a filthy, foul mouthed slob. Now see, when they come in under promise and over delivery, come.

So, speaking of Facebook Live, Julie, I am considering if we go to the protests tomorrow, the No Kings protest at the Broadway Bridge at 4 p.m. that I will Facebook live. That as I walk around and ask questions of these people. There you go. Do it. I think it would be lots and loads of fun. I think you should.

Yeah, I might be there. We'll see. I might go with you to see how I can work this out so that you're there with. Yeah, well, it's not going to be complete if you're not there. I will try to write tonight. I will try, okay. All right. I'll check up on you. Okay. I'll be. I'll text you, like, 7:30 p.m..

You better be writing, young lady. Thanks, dad. Okay. And then, we'll we'll we'll do that. You know, it would be a lot of fun is if, while we're interviewing some of these granola types that we have trucks driving by in the background with Lee Greenwood and YMCA blaring. There you go. Trump signs. American flags honking.

I think that's going to naturally happen anyway, but it could be a major influx of it. You don't say that because then we can claim credit for one. Okay. So yeah. All right. Let's go to the phones. (208) 542-1279 hey caller, how are you? I'm great. How are you? Doing pretty well. What's up? So if they're celebrating, no wanting, no king, how do they feel about any president who was trying to force people to buy, specific iPhones and then California trying to force people to buy electric cars?

I'm kind of like what a king would do to me. Yeah, you know what? That's that. I will work that into a question. I will ask them. Do you remember that time Donald Trump tried to ban gas cars? What a king. And just see what they respond with. It'll it'll be deer in the headlights. So I love it.

Okay. And, one other thing you guys are doing, we did, All right, you you cut out. We're doing food for the open house. Yes. Would you like me to bring some salsa and chips that I smoke over to try? Sure. Yeah. We're always game. Yeah, absolutely. I'll bring some. Great. Yeah, it's turning into a potluck.

This is great, I love it. No. Yeah, that'd be great. Here you are cutting out. But yeah, if you want to bring that. Absolutely. That'd be great. All right, all right, all right. Thank you. And we'll see you at the, All right. At least one person showing up. Yes. And he's ring and chips and salsa. A smoked salsa.

Yeah. So that that's where I was running through this. Does he smoke the tomatoes first and then chop them all up? I have no idea. It'll be interesting to figure this out. I didn't even know you could smoke salsa. Yeah. Does it make. Yeah. I knew that was coming. I just saw it. Right. Was me that, like, it was like you knew that you're like, Neal's going to make his stupid dead joke here in a minute.

I can feel it coming. Someone said I'm not coming. If Neal's not going to hula. Well, the gantlet has been thrown down. Okay. I'm not. Do we know who this is? I don't know, I don't have coconut shells for him though.

You. Yeah. Too bad, I guess. Can't do it. We could we have some water. Dixie cups up front. Yeah. We could fashion something fresh. Point out. Yeah. There you go. Madonna version of. Yeah, right. The hula. Yeah. Good. We put, like, sparkler pinwheels on it. Like, you know, I used to do one I I'm crafty. Yeah, I got this.

You'll figure it out. Yeah. Okay. You know, it brings we should do a quarterly Neil Larson show potluck. Julie would not come to that one. Julie's not a fan of the potluck. I just I have to know, like, where the. It came from. Like the kitchen it came from. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And you don't trust our listener.

You don't throw me under the bus like this. Don't put you on the spot. See sometimes it's fun to ask Julie questions when I know like she's looking like just wanting to squirm. So a sandwich says I'm not coming. If Neil does who like.

You guys are. You guys are great. All right. 926. Let's talk for just a moment about Grand Peak's prime meats. Julie. Okay, we defrosted the freezer. We put all the stuff, layer some stuff that was freezer burnt. So we threw that out. A lot of, like, bagged vegetables and stuff. Now I have room, which means we've got to sit down and do another order at Grand Peaks.

We absolutely do. What are you gonna put on your list? We always make a list before we call. So what do you want? You know, we love the crockpot meals. Like the French dip and the honey chicken. Or the sesame chicken. Yes. And. Oh, and the fajitas. Yeah. Do they have wings? They do. Okay. I'm doing wings. Yeah.

Lovely. They might be drums. Yeah, they might be drumsticks instead of wings. But they do something like that, that's all. Either one. It's all chicken on a bone. So. Good. Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm absolutely going to put a roast because the last couple of roasts that I've had that haven't come from grand peaks have been very disappointing. And it's just infuriating.

Once in a while. You do just need to get a generic grocery store roast and then you're like, this is why I love Grand. This is why I love Grand Peaks. So that's going to be on there. You know, you know, you need to get one those pre padded hamburgers with like the helping yours and stuff in there.

Yes yes. That needs to be on your list as well. So that will probably go straight into the fridge because I'll be grilling them really quick. Really really really great barbecue. Yeah that's true. They have so much to choose from. If you go to Jeep Prime meats.com and look at their packages and their specials and look at what your family eats and you're going to find that their prices are really competitive.

Yep. And, they deliver for free locally for all orders, $75 or more if you need it delivered. It's a very, inexpensive charge. Yep. So, yeah. Jeep Prime Meats, dot com. You need to go there. Yeah. All right. It's 928 on Newstalk 117. Going to take a quick break. But we will come back and continue after this.

Sorry Julie.

And I can make Julie squirm. Anything. I think that there's people that come into my home and it's too clean. It's uncomfortably clean for them. Like they're like, oh, I can't, I'm going to mess something up. Yeah, yeah. Which is not how it is. When you come to my home, you can come and just be whomever you want.

But I am kind of a she's a bit of a clean. I'm a little bit of a freak about it. Yeah. Someone said my Trump deranged sister from Arizona says we conservatives completely made up that. But that Biden was trying to remove gas stoves. Okay, we just make that crap up like ask ChatGPT. They'll give you four sources within probably 12 seconds of him doing that.

Yeah. You were going to say something on Facebook Live. A joke that you couldn't say about you wearing coconut shells. I thought you're going to make a joke about, well, about being hairy. It's going to make a man boobs joke. And I felt like I can't use that term on air so that somebody sent in my boobs moves.

Yeah, I could have said move. That's true. I did say screw it on the air earlier this morning. If you're intermittent fasting, screw it. Just come. Look, there's always a risk every day when we crack these mics that we might have had not have a job the next day, right. So we make the most of it. The new cilantro flavored joint.

Oh, okay. Speaking. Yeah. Oh, it would be this way. Right. This is a joint. Yeah. This this is the cilantro that that shows you right. Never having done that which Julie's a smoking moron. She doesn't know anything. That's probably the biggest compliment you've ever played. No, I know it is. It is. It's, Yeah. Now you're you're not a moron, you know what I'm saying?

I'm talking to you today. He's gonna owe me. Yeah. Oh, boy. Did you see the video of the guy who walked away from the crash? The India plane crash? No, no, we were the what was being put on CNN, ABC, Fox. We were reporting that everybody died in that crash and that people died on the ground. Okay, multiple people died on the ground.

A man sitting in seat 11 A walked away from the crash. No. Yep. That's what they're saying now. It is India that's a little crazy there. But yeah, he's cut up everything. His brother was not in a neighboring seat, but in a neighboring row. They were headed back to London because they're from London, but they have family in India.

They were headed back to London. His brother died. Wow. Did you see the video? Apparently. And who knows. Videos can be convincing and fake something happened in the air as the plane was landing. There was some black object in the air. Did you see this? Yeah, but like I said I don't believe any video. Now, the guy told investigators that they took off.

There was a loud noise that reverberated through the whole cabin. Yeah. And then they went down. Okay. Mechanical failure. Maybe Justin just read the headline. That's.

What's that? Look, mister? No, nothing. Okay, good, I hungry. I haven't had any breakfast. I'm truly doing the intermittent fast give me had your bar, your protein bar. I didn't eat my protein bar. I probably had dinner at 6:00 last night. Roughly. Okay, so, yeah, I've, well, extended past the fasting window. Yeah. Here we go. 933 It's Friday.

Neil Larson, along with Julie Mason, and we have, quite the news cycle today. Julie, if throw a brick, a firebomb or pointed a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains. That because we will kill you. Graveyard dead. What is a woman is a question. I'm. I'm not sure I understand the question.

If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers to cut to day laborers. Coming into a press conference like this is political theater. It's wrong, and it does a disservice to this country and the people who live here, that is rapes of young girls, beatings of NYPD cops by illegals who are here under Kathy Hochul, failed policies, burning New Yorkers alive.

Governor Walz, your sanctuary state agenda has been defined by your utter failure. All right, we're back on Newstalk 1079. And, I don't know what what jumps out at you, Julie, out of all these stories? Well, you started it with the audio from the sheriff in Florida. So let's go there, because yesterday I said I would have loved if some states, some Republican states would have spoken out more.

Florida complied. Yeah, they did it. A both DeSantis and the sheriff spoke out strongly against these riots and said, if you guys if you guys cause these problems, there's going to be heck to pay. And yesterday I said that, I didn't think that Governor Cox would speak out. I was wrong, gov. And I'm going to give you some governors that have spoken out.

Governor Greg Abbott, revealed that the Texas National Guard would be deployed across the Lone Star State to quell possible violence. So he's going to implement the National Guard before the No Kings protest. Morrow, then Governor Spencer Cox out of Utah, sent this message out. He said, just a word of warning to anybody who is thinking about any type of violence or chaos or property damage or vandalism, he said.

It will not happen here and you will be held accountable. We are going to be overprepared. Yeah. So that was a far stronger response than I thought Governor Cox was going to give. And then governor McMaster out of South Carolina also gave out an elevated sense of alert by saying if it, we will we will, deploy people if we feel like it's going to be necessary.

So his wasn't as strong as Abbott's or or or Governor Cox or Governor DeSantis, but he says we're not going to handle this civil disobedience in any other way than to come at you. Yeah. Good. I'm I'm glad to see it. This is governor DeSantis. This is the controversial clip, and I want to follow this up with a question.

And we also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes in, surround your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so you drive off and you hit one of these people. That's their fault for impinging on you. You don't have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets.

You have a right to defend yourself in Florida. So we're not going to do a flash poll on this, because I think it would be overwhelming in favor of what Ron DeSantis is saying. But, Julie, I think that there is because I I've come to know Republicans and I've come to know you. I would even say largely the conservative movement.

There are some who at least call themselves conservatives, who are made to feel uncomfortable by this statement by Ron DeSantis, like, well, I don't know if I feel comfortable with Ron DeSantis giving the green light to people running over protesters. What what would you say to those those people whose spines might be a little spongy? A peaceful protest doesn't mean that you get to block off streets and freeways like the freeway 101 in, in California.

And I believe that that's what governor DeSantis is saying here, that if you're going to protest, stay in a place where a car isn't supposed to be. Yeah, exactly. And and there are time and place restrictions in the middle of an active street is not a protected zone for the First Amendment, especially if you're coming at the car with a bat, because that's what was going on on the freeway.

Yeah, they were breaking windows of cars that these are just innocent people driving. Yeah, it's true. I, I think though, like if I'm in Florida and I'm in the middle of a mob and they're circling me, I think I'd hesitate to accelerate because I wouldn't want the car damage. They're not worth it, right? They're not. Yeah. No, but like, I look at it and I'm thinking, look, I understand what people are saying.

I feel like this is the same squishiness around having a firing squad, right? Right. I understand your squishiness in the context of what we've become used to, which is really just sort of this. Let's just wring our hands over everything. But if you think through this logically, this policy by DeSantis is going to save lives. It's going to make people less likely to occupy the streets to get in the middle of traffic.

It's going to it's going to create a better and more orderly environment for these protesters to to exist in. He's actually doing some of these protesters a favor by making it very well known. You go out in a street and you block a car, they can run over you and they won't be prosecuted. Yeah, boundaries are fine. We got a text from somebody asking if Governor Little has made a statement similar to Governor Cox or Governor DeSantis, and I just went to Governor Little's ex, page, his Twitter page, which he's been very, very active on.

Yeah, I do not see anything. Okay. But I would say and and I don't say this in defense of, of Governor Little, I just say this in the context of where we live. We really don't have the same challenges that places like Florida can have, because we just don't have the the urban areas, I would imagine. And I certainly don't agree with everything Governor Little has done, but I, I would imagine that if there started to be violence in Portland, he would not hesitate to deploy the National Guard.

Right? Is not Portland, but in Boise, in Boise. And they're looking a lot alike. So I can see how you were just confused. They really are. I think I was equating them in my in my mind. You know, what's funny too is, I do you remember the story out of I think it was Coeur d'Alene a couple of years ago where you had some yahoos up there that were trying to cause some trouble, and so you had some Second Amendment people that had eight hours.

They showed up and just started walking around town with the AR strapped to their back. They weren't aiming them at anyone or brandishing them. They were threatening. They were just there. And you had people going, but yeah, these are the same people that watch what's happening in L.A., people throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails, saying, that's mostly peaceful.

Yeah, this is exuberance. Yeah, but then they lose it if there's an AR strapped somebody back. Yeah. In case you missed the exuberance, remark from. I think it was three days ago. There was a I can't remember which news source it was, but that's what they called it, right? It was exuberance. Or was it. Yeah. Was it Nancy Pelosi Nancy Pelosi.

Yes it was. Yeah. The this is just exuberance. And then it was the local Fox affiliate that said these are just people celebrating around burning cars. What? Yeah. Celebrating around burning cars. Weird way to. Yeah. Weird way to to present that. So yeah, I mean, I don't want the streets of Idaho being like that. I don't want there to be so much chaos that the way we quell it is people showing up with are strapped to their back.

That's not desirable. Yeah. I want us to be able to all get along and and function a little bit better than that. But there are places where, if that's what it's going to take, that's what it's going to take. Yeah. I mean, I, I don't like that it's gotten to this point that they're the ones that got us to this point.

Yeah. Can I do another juxtaposition here? I was just thinking about this. These are the same people that say silence is violence. Yeah, but they can overreact, right? But they can flip over cars and break windows and destroy businesses. It's not violence. It might be a little bit of vandalism and it's exuberance and it's mostly peaceful. It just comes back to, you know, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

So. All right. 285421079. All right. What else. Locally. Locally we hit. We haven't talked. We only talked about it once. The, we've got some traffic issues, including a dump truck going through an intersection in Idaho Falls yesterday with the bed of the dump truck? Yeah. Elevated. Yeah. Took out the whole stoplight. Yeah, I okay, I, I don't think I've ever driven a dump truck.

I use dry potato trucks, but I've never driven a dump truck like that. You don't have to look very far. There are other similar truck video, you know, truck videos where the bed is up, hydraulics are up, and it goes through and either hits a bridge or it hits a stoplight. Why does that happen? Somebody out there who drives these trucks, why is this such a I mean, it's social media goes it's a fairly common occurrence.

So I was wondering that concept through my mind last night. Yeah. Okay. You probably use your side mirrors a lot on a dump truck. Yeah. You know, like I use my actual rearview mirror a lot when I'm driving. I glance up, back down, you know, but you probably get really good at using your side mirrors a lot. You know, a dump truck in a side mirror.

Couldn't you see that the bed was elevated? I, I would think so. I also just thought every single one of my stupid cars, if I don't put my seatbelt on in three milliseconds, beep beep beep. I mean, what? Do they not have some warnings? Just dump trucks, like tell you, hey, your bed's up and you're going 28 miles an hour.

This may or may not turn out. So the actual version of getting caught with your pants down? Yeah, kind of getting caught with your bed up. I mean, what? Let's go to the phones. 28542 107 nine. Hi, caller. How are you? Good. How are you doing this morning? Doing pretty well. Well, you got a dump truck driver?

Well, good. Okay. Tell us why this happens. It's, as obvious as it is, people just not paying attention, because. Yes, if you look in your rearview, you can see your bed still in there, and you should actually be able to feel it in your seat. Yeah. I've seen it happen multiple times with take out light poles and stuff.

And, in Jackson actually seen a we should, Yeah. It's just not paying attention. Okay, okay. Are are his buddies going to, like, mock him for the rest of his life to get kicked out of the dump truck club? Yes, I would say I would say so for quite some time. Yeah. If he keeps his job, maybe they won't know when he goes to the company that he goes to after he gets fired.

That. Well, that could be. That's true. He might have to find a new circle of friends after this. That that's true. Right? Yeah. We all need to go the way of Ron DeSantis with these, riots. I love what they did. Yeah, yeah. And what? The sheriff came out and said. Anyways, have a good day. Thank you. Thank you for the call in the in the inside info.

So it just they just don't pay attention. Maybe you were exactly right when we talked about this earlier. You said he was listening. The dump truck driver was listening to Def Leppard. Yeah, maybe he really was. He might have been just not paying attention at all. Yeah. Right. Right. Exactly. You know, it would make a funny this would make a very funny commercial.

You should capitalize on this. He was listening to the We Share podcast. There we go. And he was so involved listening to the We Share podcast that he didn't he just didn't even notice. Yeah. It's that engaging it it is. What if we find out though, this dump truck driver because this guy's probably in our demo was listening to the Neil he could have been because I think this happened during our show hours.

Could we be held liable? Is this show so compelling that even dump truck drivers don't pay attention to the fact they're beds up and they drive through? Maybe a stoplight? Maybe. Let's see if we can verify if this truck driver was listening to the program. I haven't seen anywhere. Oh, who this driver was connected to. Like who owns the dump truck?

What company owns the dump truck? Have you seen that anywhere? I have not, okay. Do we do we have some investigating? Because obviously he's violated. I mean, there's going to be some traffic citations, at the very least here, right? I mean, he's sure caused damage to public property insurance is going to be paying for the repairs. So when they find out who this person is, see, now I'm now I'm torn.

Because if we find out that this dump truck driver who slammed through the, the stoplight at Woodruff and first was, in fact, listening to the Neil Larsen show because I think it probably happened during our the morning. It did happen during our time slot. Okay. I am deeply flattered, but I'm also I can't condone that mistake. I need to pay more attention.

Yeah, right. I but but I feel like we need to do something if in fact, we find out. That's why we were talking about such a compelling topic, though. Yeah, I, I just want everyone to know if you are listening to this show right now and you happen to be driving, we know that it is such a compelling content.

In fact, we we might have traffic court, we might have police saying, Will you be a little less compelling? Will you be a little less, just be a little more boring? Maybe. Maybe we were talking about, like, brats from Grand Peak's PRI meets, and it just threw him over the edge, and he just couldn't pay attention anymore.

Love, drugs. Yeah. Everything. Boom. Right through the. Yeah, it could be with Def Leppard in the background. So yeah, I know. Okay. But, yeah, we'll we'll find out because it's very possible because we have a lot of, like. Well, I want to ask the listeners if you know what company, if anybody has heard who this belonged to.

Yeah, I don't know. I just you and we don't really want to out him because, you know what? We all make mistakes. I'm not really into embarrassing him. Somebody said I'm driving a dump truck right now, and I'm going to hit a mailbox and blame it on Julie.

Somebody else said sometimes when they're shifting gears, they might accidentally hit their lever to raise the bed. So when they take off from a stoplight, they grab a gear and they hit that lever and it goes up as they're taking off. Might I suggest putting the lever in a different spot then? Yeah, that's a little too dangerous.

If that happens, that's the if that's the case, the dump truck driver was probably visualizing someone doing a hula dance with coconut shells on your probably sell. Someone said he's going to get dogged mercilessly. I'm sure he will. I'm sure he was. Part of the problem is there's video of it, like, if this had happened, but nobody caught it on video.

Yeah, it'd just be a thing that happened, you moron. And then the internet lives forever. It does. So I feel bad for them when we found it just right after we got off air yesterday, it was already going viral, and it hadn't even hit the news stations yet. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's true, that's true. I also want to ask who was who was why was video rolling at that moment?

I think it's somebody with a dash cam. Oh okay. That yeah I think that that's what it was. Yeah. Like didn't think anything was going to happen. And then they just caught it on the dash cam. Yeah I got you. Yeah. All right. Well you know we're going to do what I've already I mean we've talked about Def Leppard.

I've already played hysteria. I've already played animal. Now we need a little photograph. Okay. Is that all right? Sure. You're good with that? I like it, and if you're driving a dump truck, please be careful. Yeah. Don't start rocking out. It's Def Leppard here. All right, we'll be back. We'll wrap it up after this. Okay. Somebody send us a name.

And I'm just trying to decide if they're being facetious or not. But I can't look the name up on Facebook because I'm in. Oh, I'm the one functioning. And they sent us how it. Yeah, it's in the text feed. Okay. Do you want me to look? Sure. Okay. A lot of common friends. Yeah. So there is that person.

Yeah, there is that person. Okay. And do they, do they own a company? Like what is, I mean, look at the about the it's kind of locked down, like, I can I don't see anything. Well, this this is how legends are made. That was going to be that. Yeah. I just did name my tune right here. Yeah.

Okay. There are, no, it looks like he does do some work that could be like that. But don't I don't know. All right. Could do a little more. Could that be like a legal defense? Well, he was listening to the Neil. He was listening to these pens if the judge likes it or not. Yeah. That's that's true.

Maybe he's for Rigby and your brother in law can be his judge and will be good. And maybe the crime happened in civil county, so that doesn't work that way. I know, Danny, it would be guilty just. Pop just went everywhere. Soda just went everywhere. Oops. Danny probably would do that. They needed a gavel. That was the only thing.

Do you have any on your side? No. Okay. I just saw it come out like a volcano.

Oh, I need to do a. Scuse me, I got the hiccups. Someone said I was behind a truck once when this started happening. So the bed rising and I started panic honking. He stopped but not after traveling for a whole block while his bed was slowly going up. Snagged a power line. Could that be a dangerous I'm sure.

I mean he would be protected inside the truck because he's, he's grounded with the wheels. Right. But yeah. What's that look. Why is the liner not active. Do you see that media entry not playable. Okay. Well the 5850 is fine because we'll get a PSA in that one. But, this other one might be a here we go.
