On this pre-Thanksgiving edition of the show, Neal held down the fort while Julie Mason was away enjoying some well-deserved family time with her new grandson. We dove deep into the local Idaho Falls runoff elections, specifically focusing on the "dark money" mailers that have been circulating. We examined the mysterious political action committee "Defend and Protect Idaho," questioning its true motives after discovering its funding comes from out-of-state PACs. When we put out the call to our listeners in the farming community—a group the PAC claims to represent—we found that none of them had ever heard of it, confirming our suspicions that their good name is being exploited for political gain.

The conversation wasn't all serious politics, though. We had some fun listening to the Idaho governor's awkward attempt to answer a citizen's question about "chemtrails," and we took several calls from passionate listeners who weighed in on the local City Council race. Neal wrapped everything up with a heartfelt Thanksgiving message, reflecting on family and the importance of gratitude, reminding us all to focus on what's right in the world before heading into the holiday weekend.
