Mike Crapo and Mike Simpson could consider themselves lucky. Crapo’s opponent in the General Election appears intelligent but has little name recognition. Simpson’s re-election is always a foregone conclusion after downing so many mediocre opponents in the past.
Two political discussions brought us back to the same place today. We opened the show with some thoughts about the bottleneck among Republicans who hope to be Idaho’s next Governor. In hour number two, we spoke about globalists and nationalists and Nigel Farage campaigning with Donald Trump...
The national media types claim Donald Trump is hurting down ballot Republicans. I would recommend a link you can see by clicking here. The supposedly comatose GOP is having a revival after being written off for dead since the latter half of the last decade...
Christianity is under attack in America. Idaho’s own Congressman Raul Labrador is lead sponsor of a bill to protect freedom of religion. He has the support of many pastors who see the erosion of the First Amendment. Reverend Paul Thompson is among them...
Radical Islam again dominated discussion today on Top Story. We weaved the comments of President Obama and Donald Trump in with those made by two members of our Idaho Congressional Delegation. I also warned efforts by the left to create secret courts for eliminating the Second Amendment resemble the habits of totalitarian regimes of the past several centuries...
Outsiders may be surprised to learn the federal government owns two-thirds of Idaho. There is also discussion the government in Washington, D.C. is looking to even swallow up more land from the state. Congressman Raul Labrador joined us today and explained with much of the land in his district under federal control the people living in the panhandle are being squeezed...
Donald Trump appears to have unified Idaho Republicans but perhaps not in an expected way. Randy Stapilus from Idaho Weekly Briefing joined us this morning and shared details from his Sunday column. He believes the party is unified because it’s collectively holding its nose about the Presidential nominee...
Steve Millington was a major player in the Idaho Republican Convention. The GOP wrapped up its session Saturday evening in Nampa and unlike the last party gathering was able to complete business nearly without a hitch. Steve joined us in studio this morning for a complete run down of party activities...
I enjoy regular conversations on-air with Randy Stapilus and Chris Anderson. Today, Randy shared memories of the Teton Dam disaster and his thoughts about the just concluded Idaho Republican Convention. Chris dropped in a short while later to give us the June outlook at the Herrett Center and Planetarium...
I suspect a lot of Democrats don’t consider carbon dioxide a pollutant. It appears to predate the arrival of man on the planet. If Democrats don’t demonize the gas then I guess most Republicans are the same. On Friday I spoke with several Idaho GOP elders at the state party convention in Nampa...
Imagine applying for college or graduate work at a prestigious university and the government refuses to provide financial assistance. For now we’ll set aside the arguments over the policy and point out the government is being selective and may someday withhold assistance because the school is religiously affiliated and accused of bias for its biblical bedrock...
Pollsters say Republican anger has reached a new zenith after the Nevada GOP Caucus. Donald Trump scored his biggest victory yet and the number of voters claiming they're angry eclipsed previous caucus and primary states. My show today had a theme about the anger and the cause...
