7.15.2026 - Daylight Saving Vote | Flock Cameras Debate | Idaho Marijuana Fails

from The Neal Larson Show · host Neal Larson

Send us Fan MailThe show bounced from light to serious in classic Neal-and-Julie fashion—starting with some riffing on Taco Bell’s latest “explosive” reputation and the public confusion around daylight saving time, then turning into a surprisingly spirited debate over whether the U.S. should finally stop changing clocks twice a year. Listener texts poured in about circadian rhythms, safety for kids heading to school in the dark, and whether we should lock in daylight saving time or standard time—while Neal and Julie admitted they’re mostly ambivalent, partly because their early-morning schedule already keeps their sleep “off” year-round.From there, the conversation hit two big local/current issues: Idaho’s medical marijuana initiative failing to qualify (and why Neal and Julie believe many “medical” efforts are really a pathway to recreational use), and a long, heated segment on Idaho Falls’ Flock license-plate reader cameras. Neal and Julie pushed back on what they saw as bad-faith “it’s unconstitutional because I don’t like it” arguments, while still acknowledging legitimate concerns—especially around data access, oversight, and whether private vendors could misuse or monetize information. Calls ranged from thoughtful privacy concerns and “1984” warnings to worst-case social credit score hypotheticals, with Neal emphasizing the need for safeguards and transparency rather than panic. Woven throughout the hour were recurring check-ins with Todd and Scott from **Advanced Window Products**, who offered a major promo: **$3,000 off 10+ windows** plus a free upgrade to Cardinal’s high-performance **i89 glass**.---## 2. Highlights- Neal and Julie crack jokes about “Taco Bell Ozempic” while also calling out how fast the media can “name a suspect” before facts are confirmed.  - Daylight saving time turns into a mini listener referendum—tons of texts say the one-hour shift messes them up for weeks, while Neal and Julie try to understand the circadian rhythm argument.  - A wholesome detour: the viral “buffalo tossing grandpa” gets love for being good-natured about the memes—and Neal worries the internet will try to ruin him if they find a political angle.  - Idaho’s marijuana initiative fails to make the ballot, and Neal argues most “medical marijuana activism” is really recreational activism in disguise.  - The Flock camera debate ignites: Neal and Julie defend the *legal reality* of limited privacy in public, but demand safeguards—especially around vendor data use and access controls.  - Todd and Scott from Advanced Window Products drop a once-a-year deal: **$3,000 off** plus about **$200/window value** upgrade to i89 glass—along with talk of energy savings, warranties, and fast in-home audits.Let’s talk advertising.
