6.18.2025 -- NLS -- "Selling Idaho? Land, Legacy & Listener Fury"
On this episode with Neal and Julie, the phone lines light up as listeners passionately weigh in on the controversial idea of selling Idaho’s federal public lands to private entities. Neal explores the history and implications of federal land management, state sovereignty, and access to public resources like hunting, fishing, and recreation. Callers offer a wide spectrum of opinions — from strict opposition to conditional support with safeguards — highlighting deep concern over potential loss of access, corporate land grabs, and diminished Idahoan traditions.
The show also touches on the cultural contrast with states like Texas, where public land is scarce, and discusses how land policy affects lifestyle. As the segment wraps up, Neal previews upcoming coverage of international developments, including Iran and remarks from Donald Trump, and teases more from Tucker Carlson’s explosive interview with Ted Cruz.
