6.23.2025 -- NLS -- Mike Lee’s Land Sell-Off & “How Dare You!” Mashup
On this episode with Neal and Julie, the conversation kicks off with a fiery debate over federal land ownership, as they dissect Senator Mike Lee’s controversial proposal to sell off public lands. Neal pushes back on strict constitutional arguments, citing Article IV to defend federal land control, while Julie highlights the real-world implications for homeowners and communities in the West. They explore whether privatization would really solve anything—or just open the door to corporate land grabs and exclusion.
Things take a lighter turn as Neal and Julie launch into a hilarious breakdown of the phrase “How dare you!”—comparing dramatic clips from Greta Thunberg, Karen Bass, and Bill Clinton. They mash them up, add their own impersonations, and turn it into a recurring punchline for everything from food preferences to political gaffes.
The episode closes with reflections on the recent U.S. strike on Iran. Neal calls it a bold show of American strength that could deter future threats, while both hosts mock Russian warnings about nuclear escalation. As always, they blend sharp insight with tongue-in-cheek humor in a way only Neal and Julie can.
