Join Sam Bushman and investigative journalist Casey Whalen on LRT Radio Show, HR 2, as they dive deep into the latest controversies shaking Idaho and the nation. In this episode, the hosts break down the recent “50 States, One Israel” delegation, exposing the complex web of foreign influence, legislative entanglements, and the role of special interest groups in shaping state and national policy.

Casey shares exclusive findings from public records requests, revealing how Idaho lawmakers’ trips to Israel and connections with organizations like the National Association of Jewish Legislators and the Jewish Federation of North America raise critical questions about transparency, accountability, and the true priorities of elected officials.

The discussion also tackles Idaho’s malicious harassment law and proposed antisemitism legislation, exploring the implications for free speech, civil rights, and the creation of “specialized classes” under the law. Sam and Casey challenge the mainstream narrative, highlight the dangers of thought policing, and emphasize the importance of standing up for God, family, and country—even in the face of personal attacks and media smears.

Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation that champions truth, constitutional principles, and the right to ask tough questions.
