Some friends from out of state are telling me they had difficulty with today’s web stream.  I’ve collected some video highlights from today’s show and can share them below.  Keep in mind I try and save one or two show segments every day and you can find them at the link here...

The guy shot in Milwaukee wasn’t Nelson Mandela.  Can we make it clear?  Then, when I hear the problem is the “system” because it locks up dads for selling marijuana and leaves kids without role models I ask what kind of model is any dope dealer...

The DNC is at war with Bernie and John Kerry is at war with refrigerators.  Both were discussed today on Top Story with Bill Colley.  It appears the media darlings are doing their best to paper over the latest scandal presided over by Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz...

Idaho’s new concealed carry law is effective this summer but in the meantime there is a caveat.  When Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter signed the bill into law on Friday he did so with a caution.  He’s hoping legislators monitor the change (the permit requirement is gone for people over 21-years-old)...

Idaho Democrats are making a choice today between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.  The Caucus is open to registered Democrats and any independents and Republicans who didn’t vote in the GOP Primary two weeks ago (I guess the 26 percent of Republicans who missed the other vote can come out and monkey wrench tonight’s Caucus)...

Molon Labe!  In the language of the ancient Greeks it means come and take them.  It’s what 300 Spartans when ordered to throw down their weapons told thousands of Persian invaders.  This scene was repeated last week in Idaho.  Friends from around the country have been writing me e-mails or sending me messages elsewhere on social media and asking if it’s true...

Remember the gravelly voiced woman in Cleveland who bragged about having an “Obama phone” during the 2012 Presidential Election Cycle?  “Everybody in Cleveland got an Obama phone!” is what she told a reporter.  She was a member of a labor union and at a campaign rally expressing her gratitude for the President playing Santa Claus...

BOISE (KTVB/AP) -- The Idaho Democratic Party is criticizing Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter and other Republican leaders for sending out letters asking lobbyists for campaign donations to seven legislative races where the GOP thinks the party is vulnerable.

While it isn't always helpful to point fingers, the gridlock in Washington does make one wonder who needs to get moving.  Especially with leaders all over the map pointing fingers at the guy across the aisle. Who do you think is most to blame...

 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho Democrats were happy with the 2012 election, a night when they suffered no numeric losses in the Legislature and when voters defeated public schools chief Tom Luna's Republican-backed education overhaul. Minority party chairman Larry Grant said Wednesday that preserving the Democrats' 20 seats in the Capitol was an accomplishment, in a year when popular GOP presidential

(AP)  President Barack Obama won the support of 98 percent of participants at caucuses held by Idaho Democrats around the state on Saturday. Idaho Democrat Party Chairman Larry Grant in a statement says Idaho Democrats are enthusiastic about having a Democratic president who stands up for middle class families and working Americans.
