Fiscal Fridays is back! Join Niklas once more as he sits down with IFF's senior education policy analyst Branden Durst for a conversation about school levies, including West Ada's half billion dollar ask.

When corporate media types latch onto a word like "extremist" they just don't want to let it go. It's their preferred tool for hammering away at closed primary elections, smut in our libraries and for smearing anyone who believes in small government.

The award-winning members of Idaho's legacy media never seem too interested in anything resembling limited government or personal freedom. Let's take a deeper dive into what they do support.

The Idaho Legislature banned abortion and child gender mutilation. So why are taxpayers on the hook for teaching medical students those very things? IFF policy analyst Niklas Kleinworth is back with another deep dive into where our tax dollars are going.

Opening Idaho's primary elections and pushing transgender policies in government schools are two examples of political power grabs being sold to us under the "common sense" label.

The political left is very fond of labeling those of us who hold traditional values as "extremists." The best way to steal their thunder is to lean into those labels rather than cower.

Niklas is joined by IFF legislative affairs director Fred Birnbaum to discuss budgets, inflation, and the Trojan Horse that is federal money. Support our mission to bring fiscal sanity back to state government: https://idahofreedom.org/donations/donate-now/

The folks who think political power should be the dynamic behind every human interaction are in full cry over a number of issues in Idaho. Let's take a closer look at the morality of what they're trying to do.

IFF policy analyst Niklas Kleinworth takes a look at how true fiscal conservatives in the Idaho Legislature are few and far between. What happened to the once-popular idea of shrinking government and allowing taxpayers to keep more of their own money?

From abortion fanaticism to LGBT indoctrination to the unleashing of lawfare against Ammon Bundy, innocence is under attack like never before.

Opioid addiction leads to growing government dependence, broken families, a struggling workforce, and rising demand for health services. "Harm reduction" programs ignore the root of the problem, threatening to turn Idaho into just another California.

The political left and its legacy media enablers are up in arms over things they cannot speak of in clear, accurate terms. Today's episode examines their love of euphemisms to obscure perversion, mutilation and indoctrination aimed at minors.

Idaho's legacy media is spinning the news like mad on issues like abortion and the reasons freedom-loving people are flocking to Idaho. Is it really a matter of totalitarian racists taking control? Originally aired 4/12/23

In the same way that Mao's Cultural Revolution depended upon a Red Guard of eager, brainwashed young people, a disturbingly irrational and violent trans movement is developing here in America. Originally aired 4/7/23

Trans activists have run into a brick wall of reality in Idaho and the legacy media's calls for civility ring hollow in light of the rhetoric being used by activists and their media supporters. Originally aired 4/5/23.

Is the Idaho legislature chasing shadows and imaginary problems or is the legacy media trying to keep certain things in the dark? Originally aired 3/31/23

From transgender surgeries and hormone treatments on children to mainstreaming of abortion and deviant behavior, there are a lot of left wing "solutions" looking for a problem. Idaho legislators have had their hands full this session. Originally aired 3/29/23

On February 15, IFF's legislative affairs director Fred Birnbaum testified against House Bill 81. This bill would have renewed the Maternal Mortality Review Committee, which was intended to provide feedback on how to mitigate the deaths of mothers in Idaho who were pregnant or recently had children. As Birnbaum notes, however, the program only told us what we already knew, and recommended more government programs. "You know the old saying 'All roads lead to Rome?' Well, all government-created committees lead to the call for more government spending." Support the IFF's mission of reducing government waste: https://idahofreedom.org/donations/donate-now/

Everyone is talking about mRNA technology. Is it a promising new way of treating and preventing disease? Or is it a dangerous platform that poses a risk to our health, or even our lives? Sen. Tammy Nichols and Rep. Judy Boyle have a bill to halt it in Idaho. They joined us at Capitol Clarity to talk about it. Learn more about the Idaho Freedom Foundation: https://idahofreedom.org/

In this exchange with Senator Tammy Nichols during a Senate Education Committee hearing, Idaho State Superintendent of Public Instruction flatly rejected support for Education Savings Accounts. "I am not prepared to be an advocate for public funds going to private schools. That does not take away from a parents ability to choose to send their child to a private school."
