May 05, 2026Idaho Budget Surplus: $1.5 Billion in Hidden Reserve FundsBob Neugebauer and Ron Nate expose $1.5 billion in Idaho reserve and stabilization funds sitting above the state's $5.5 billion general fund budget — roughly $784 per resident that Nate argues should be returned to taxpayers. They dismantle the property tax exemption myth, showing how exemptions for veterans or seniors don't reduce total collections but shift the burden to remaining homeowners, and trace property tax growth from $800 million to over $2.1 billion in 25 years. Nate outlines a path to eliminating property taxes on primary residences without raising other taxes....more38minPlay

March 31, 2026Legislative Session Wrap: Spending, Shenanigans & Shifting PoliticsBob Neugebauer and Ron Nate of the Idaho Freedom Foundation deliver a final-week 2026 session verdict: the $800 million in promised spending cuts have been swallowed by enhancements, pushing the budget to $14.2 billion with more possibly coming. Zero tax relief passed. Key conservative bills — grocery tax repeal, Medicaid repeal, CPS reform, medical freedom — are buried in committee drawers while rat abatement and kratom bills move freely. And a 5,000-person "No Kings" rally signals an organized left that conservatives are not currently matching....more40minPlay
March 27, 2026Idaho’s Governor Race, Big Ag Machine & Budget RealityBob Neugebauer and Dylan Stocker deliver a wide-ranging indictment of Idaho's political establishment: a governor's race with no debates and a 16-to-1 campaign funding gap, a Big Ag machine that has run Idaho under both party names for decades, state spending approaching California's per-capita rate while rural EMS runs on fumes, a $70 million corporate-controlled Launch program, political lawfare against reform candidates, and an education system that labels 13-year-olds by party affiliation. The real conservatives are organizing — but time is short....more1h 5minPlay
