6.27.2025 -- NLS -- Bertrand Backlash, SCOTUS Rulings, and Amber Beck
On this episode of The Neal Larson Show, Neal and Julie unpack breaking Supreme Court decisions, including a mixed ruling on nationwide injunctions and a notable non-decision on birthright citizenship. Neal critiques media bias with a focused takedown of CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, citing multiple instances where her reporting aligned with false intelligence narratives unfavorable to Donald Trump. Caroline Leavitt's commentary is highlighted, questioning Bertrand’s journalistic credibility and the pattern of misinformation.
The show also features a Studio 4 Cover performance by Amber Beck, a singer from Mackay, Idaho, who delivers a stirring live rendition of the national anthem in honor of the upcoming 4th of July. Amber shares her musical background, her community involvement in 4-H and shooting sports, and her appreciation for patriotism and live performance.
In the final segment, Neal discusses new allegations involving Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, including claims from former National Guard colleagues that Walz may have mishandled military documents connected to a nuclear-capable howitzer. These suspicions reportedly led to FBI contact after China later produced a similar tank model.
The episode blends current events, judicial analysis, patriotic celebration, and investigative intrigue in classic Neal Larson style.
