On this episode with Neal and Julie…

They dive into a wide-ranging discussion starting with reflections on the pandemic and Governor Little’s 2020 stay-at-home order. Neal shares concerns about Idaho potentially shifting ivermectin to over-the-counter status, emphasizing the state’s right to determine its own path—but also warning of overreach and unintended consequences. Julie and Neal explore the tension between federal influence and local conservatism, particularly when it comes to accepting federal funds and the strings attached, referencing Senate Bill 1204 and broader debates about energy efficiency programs and government dependency.

The conversation turns personal and philosophical, with commentary on integrity, “fake rules” like speed limits, and the psychological impacts of public compliance. They inject humor and social observation, wondering what would happen if they printed fake media credentials to get into events, and discussing law enforcement's methods for measuring speed.

They also reflect on Idaho’s political landscape—highlighting how conservatism varies across regions, the influence of personal relationships on elections, and the historical tendency to elect leaders based on religious or social standing rather than qualifications.

Finally, there’s a lighthearted transition to community events, including an upcoming Easter ham special and a mention of a benefit concert shared on the “Love for Lily” Facebook page. The episode mixes politics, personal integrity, religion, and small-town dynamics with a conversational, thoughtful tone—as always, with plenty of back-and-forth between Neal and Julie.
