9.8.25--NLS--Election Security, Philly "Karen", NC Subway Stabbing
On the Neal Larson Show, the hosts discussed a recent voter fraud case in Fremont County, Idaho, where seven people were arrested for illegally voting in a close 2023 Island Park election, prompting a debate on election security and whether the results could be overturned. The conversation then shifted to a viral incident at a Phillies-Marlins game, dubbed the "Philly Karen" story, where a woman aggressively took a home run ball from a father who had retrieved it for his young son. While the hosts debated the father's decision to de-escalate and give her the ball, the story had a happy ending, as the boy was showered with gifts, including an autographed bat from the player who hit the home run, World Series tickets, and a new RV from a compassionate CEO.
The hosts also heavily criticized the initial lack of mainstream media coverage surrounding the brutal stabbing murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte subway, contrasting it with the media frenzy over other national cases. They defended the Trump administration's new policy of destroying narco-terrorist boats, arguing it is a justified act of self-defense against the fentanyl crisis and serves as a necessary deterrent. Other topics included new Harvard research linking Tylenol use during pregnancy to an increased risk of autism and ADHD, the re-emergence of COVID-19 mask recommendations in California, and President Trump's speech on religious freedom and his efforts to clean up crime in Washington D.C.
