đź“Ť Podcast Summary (Apple/Spotify Style):
On this fiery episode of The Jay Thomas Show, Jay dives into the heated debate surrounding the parole of convicted ax murderer David Brom, who brutally killed his family in 1988 and is now being released under Minnesota’s controversial new juvenile parole law. Senator Jordan Rasmussen (R–Fergus Falls) joins the show to sound the alarm on what he calls a “get out of jail free” bill that quietly passed during the 2023 legislative session.
But it’s not all crime and punishment — Jay and Dean Wysocki debate the new 80 MPH interstate speed limit in North Dakota, and listeners call in with their funniest (and most frustrating) speeding ticket stories, including one involving an '83 Chevette accused of hitting 83 MPH!
Then it’s culture war time: Jay slams the backlash against actress Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad campaign (“Great Jeans”), calling out the absurdity of people labeling it as “Nazi propaganda.”
🔥 It's a high-octane mix of politics, policing, pop culture, and a bit of good old-fashioned North Dakota radio grit.
