Idaho’s Proposition 1 is the through-line of this episode. The discussion frames the abortion ballot measure as a crossroads for the state and warns that complacency, not public opinion, is the real danger in a pro-life state. It points to targeted voter-registration mail — the episode’s account of an Idaho Democrat Party mailer sent to […]
There was a time in American history when human beings were not considered to be fully human. Southern plantation owners saw African slaves as property, having the same value as an ox or horse. Southern politicians did their best to avoid talking about the actual horrors of chattel slavery, preferring instead to use euphemisms like […]
This episode opens with a bone to pick: a federal plan the discussion says would reprocess fuel rods at the INL and accept a third of the nation’s radioactive waste, atop the Snake River Aquifer. The episode recounts the 1950–1983 era of liquefied waste injected into the ground that reached the aquifer, invokes Three Mile […]
Proponents of abortion, and of Proposition 1 here in Idaho, want to steer the conversation toward vague concepts of healthcare, freedom, choice, and rare edge cases while avoiding the obvious: abortion is the deliberate destruction of a human life. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg of a deep sickness in modern culture. […]
BOISE, ID — Four years ago, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the U.S. Supreme Court made clear that the U.S. Constitution says nothing about abortion and returned the thorny issue of how to regulate abortion back to the states, where it had rested until the Roe decision transferred that authority to the Courts. Following Dobbs, Idaho chose to protect the […]
In just a few short months, Idaho voters will be asked if they want to legalize abortion in the Gem State. In spite of all the rhetoric you’ve heard about Proposition 1—how it’s about reproductive freedom, about choice, about saving women’s lives—in the end, it comes down to abortion: the willing destruction of an unborn […]
This episode opens with Idaho’s flock camera fight, tracing the pushback to a grassroots watchdog group going city council by city council across the state. The core objection is framed as a Fourth Amendment problem — license-plate data sitting in a searchable government database without a warrant — and the episode notes Caldwell’s roughly half-million-dollar […]
You’ve surely seen them by now—thousands of signs popping up throughout the state proclaiming a simple yet profound truth: Idaho values life. It seems so obvious, but this November Idahoans will be asked once and for all if we truly value all human life, including the unborn. I’ve been traveling the state these past few […]
Idaho Prop 1 lands on the ballot the first Tuesday of November, and this episode opens its issue roundup there. The episode’s case is that the initiative would roll Idaho’s abortion law back further than it stood before the Dobbs decision — later into pregnancy, without parental notification or consent for minors, and performed by […]
This episode delivers a fast-moving conservative read on the stories shaping Idaho right now, moving from local government accountability to statewide ballot fights before turning to a longer lesson in free-market economics. The through-line is a familiar one for the show: where Idaho’s money, rights, and values are most at stake — and where the […]
This November, Idahoans have a choice to make: keep the Gem State a sanctuary for all life, including preborn babies, or adopt a radical abortion regime even darker than the days of Roe v. Wade. With less than two months until absentee ballots arrive in mailboxes, we have no time to lose when it comes […]
The abortion initiative headed for Idaho’s ballot leads this week’s episode. Per the announcement cited from Secretary of State Phil McGrain, the measure to re-legalize abortion has enough signatures and is expected to appear as Proposition 1. The episode frames the next 100 days as all hands on deck to defeat it, citing figures that […]
