  • Idaho Prop 1, Lobbyist Access & the New Pork Report

    Idaho Prop 1, Lobbyist Access & the New Pork Report
    Sep 30 2026
    This episode runs the Idaho fights shaping the stretch before Election Day: Prop 1's bid to undo the state's abortion trigger law and the out-of-state money pouring into that campaign, access politics at the Statehouse and the lobbyists buying it, and a new pork report cataloging billions in waste, fraud, and abuse — from $72 million to teach teachers to teach reading to hundreds of millions in state spending left unmonitored. It closes with an econ lesson on what prices signal and what breaks when government caps them.

  • Idaho Prop 1, the 2026 Pork Report & Who Pays the Taxes

    Idaho Prop 1, the 2026 Pork Report & Who Pays the Taxes
    Oct 6 2026
    Four weeks out from Idaho's 2026 election, this episode works through Prop 1, the abortion ballot measure, and the objections to its undefined viability standard, its silence on parental consent, and who could perform abortions under it. Then: a new 44-page Pork Report on state and local government waste, an Econ 101 case that barriers to entry rather than big companies drive up gas, housing and insurance prices, a small-town accountability story out of Lava Hot Springs, and the tax breaks behind Micron's $15 billion fab.

  • Diversified Index Investing, AI Stocks & Market Downturns

    Diversified Index Investing, AI Stocks & Market Downturns
    Sep 24 2026
    This episode covers the case for disciplined, diversified index investing. It explains why stocks have built real wealth about three and a half times faster than bonds after inflation, and how owning more than 13,000 companies through four funds avoids betting on anyone's genius. It also covers why a five-year bond "war chest" lets investors ride out crashes without selling. The discussion then turns to sky-high AI valuations and echoes of the dot-com era, whether AI will replace financial advisors, and why trying to time the market may be the costliest mistake an investor can make.
