Send us Fan MailIn this episode, the hosts interview Senator Jim Risch, who blames the Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown. He argues that their refusal to support a continuing resolution is harming essential services for veterans, military personnel, and recipients of SNAP benefits. Senator Risch also defends President Trump&apos;s military actions against drug cartel boats, framing the fentanyl crisis as an attack on the nation that the president has the authority to counter. Following the interview, the hosts discuss national political trends, referencing a poll that shows climate change is a low priority for Americans and suggesting that &quot;Trump hatred&quot; has become a primary motivating force for the left.The conversation then shifts its focus to upcoming local mayoral races in Pocatello and Idaho Falls.
