The Nate Shelman Show

The Boise Dev released a story today that unveiled a sticky battle with an HOA that led to a felony. There was a man that cut a branch of a tree off from his own backyard, however that tree was on Ada County property meaning he might possibly be on deck for a felony. Margaret Carmel from the Boise Dev joined Nate to discuss that story. We also heard from Ada County Commissioner Ryan Davidson about his thoughts on the issue. Meanwhile, our neighbors to the west in Oregon, want to pass a bill that would ban the sale of kangaroo parts. They say that this is to prevent companies from making cleats out of kangaroo leather. That lead to the question: Have you ever eaten kangaroo meat? After that Nate briefly discussed baby's first ar-15. Better known as the jr-15, this rifle is being marketed to families as a way to safely train children on firearms. Schumer wants an FTC investigation into the company, saying marketing guns to children isn't allowed. To bring the show back around, the HOA tree issue actually started over whether or not the resident was allowed to have a bee hive in his back yard. Nate asks: Who likes their HOAs? Are bees a nuisance? (1/26/23)

While a new jail would help in Canyon County, this issue also resides with the judges that have let these criminals out of jail.

There was a new study done by Boise State University that showed that statistically half of Idahoans think Idaho is going in the wrong direction. Do you think Idaho is going in the wrong or right direction? Another number from that study shows that more than 80% of Idahoans want to get rid of the grocery tax. Meanwhile, the things the Idaho Legislature wants to focus on are increased wages for state workers and... no more marriage licenses from the state??? Nate Shelman discussed that, and asked: Do you make your own ammo and silencers, why? There was a tragic shooting in California at a dance studio. Several News outlets have since reported that the shooter made his own ammo and silencers. (1/23/23)
