10.7.25--NLS--Government Shutdown, Tacos, and Bad Bunny

from The Neal Larson Show · host Neal Larson

Send us Fan MailNeal Larson begins today&apos;s episode by addressing the federal government shutdown, placing the blame on Democrats for blocking a &quot;clean&quot; continuing resolution to fund the government. He then shifts to a local Idaho lawsuit over House Bill 93, a new tax credit program for non-public school education. Neal and Julie question a potential conflict of interest arising from the state legislature intervening in the case, which makes a lawmaker who is a plaintiff in the lawsuit also technically a defendant. On a national level, the conversation covers governors resisting ICE raids, which the hosts argue forces an authoritarian federal response, and a report that Special Counsel Jack Smith&apos;s investigation spied on eight U.S. senators without a warrant.The tone of the show later becomes more conversational, featuring a lengthy and humorous discussion about National Taco Day and the proliferation of other obscure national observances like National Bathtub Day. The hosts also critique the choice of Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime performer. They react to a segment from &quot;The View&quot; where Whoopi Goldberg suggested attendees get tans and adopt Latin accents to confuse ICE, which they find hypocritical. This leads to a broader discussion about whether the NFL&apos;s selection of the artist is a genuine attempt to reach a new demographic or a controversial choice made for the sake of publicity.Let’s talk advertising.
