- 0:19and Scott Moskowitz. Hey everyone, welcome back.
- 0:27It's No ID, your North Idaho mainstream deconstruction.
- 0:31I am Scott. Hello internet, I'm Paul. It's great
- 0:36to be here alert up everybody right on cue with
- 0:39right on cue. What alert was that one alert?
- 0:42that was a successfully rolled the trade up and
- 0:46out that needed to be rolled because today the
- 0:48I don't know why yet I'm embarrassed I should
- 0:51know but I've been busy doing other things like
- 0:53nursing my foot and just had a wound open up
- 0:55in it this morning or something's happening out
- 0:58there in the world that is making the stock market
- 1:00super happy Everything is up five, 10, 15 % after
- 1:04being just crushed for five weeks in a row. And
- 1:08so now some of the positions where I bet the
- 1:11other way, well, not bet, but I had to, I had
- 1:14to take a position that was the other way. Yeah.
- 1:16Not bad gambling in Idaho, dude. Come on. Yeah.
- 1:19Nope. Never. I would never do it. No, but you
- 1:21actually, you know, you can kind of sort of gamble,
- 1:23you know, however much money you want in the
- 1:25stock market. That's okay. No big deal there.
- 1:27That's different. You can lose your house in
- 1:29the stock market, but Idaho doesn't care. It's
- 1:31only if you bet $5 in a poker game with your
- 1:33friends at your own house. Then you're going
- 1:35to get investigated and raided. Well, that's
- 1:38what ruins lives. Don't you know? All right.
- 1:41Let's just get you know, we Paul and I have to
- 1:43remember to just hit the record button earlier
- 1:47like like 10 minutes earlier than we do we get
- 1:49into this habit of like of doing the show for
- 1:5110 minutes like when we first connect on the
- 1:53thing here and they're like, oh, you know what?
- 1:55This is all we're just this is the show like
- 1:57we should have just live. I mean, I guess that's
- 2:01a good sign that how much fun we have when we
- 2:03get together because yeah, we planned to meet
- 2:05at 10. We didn't get on until 10 08. And then
- 2:10we chatted for 14, 15 minutes about anything
- 2:14and everything. And then realized about 10 minutes
- 2:17into that, we need to start the show because
- 2:20we're basically doing the show right now. Complete
- 2:22with sound drops and everything. We're using
- 2:24our sound boards to go back and forth. Like,
- 2:26all right, let's just go already. Come on. It's
- 2:29a beautiful thing, Scott. I love you. It's good
- 2:31to be here. Well, let's start with this one.
- 2:35This is the egregious government hypocrite of
- 2:40the week. I don't even know what the language,
- 2:42I can't find language to use that strong enough
- 2:44for this week's absurdity coming from one of
- 2:47our leader, leader, leaders. An Idaho Fish and
- 2:50Game commissioner is facing seven hunting charges.
- 2:53Brody Harshbarger is facing hunting -related
- 2:56misdemeanor charges following an investigation
- 2:58near the Spring Hollow boat ramp in Fremont County.
- 3:02Now, according to reports, a tip from Citizens
- 3:04Against Poaching prompted conservation officers
- 3:07to look into allegations a Harshbarger and another
- 3:10man illegally shot two elk, including a six -point
- 3:13bull found on private property. Reports also
- 3:17say Harshbarger fired shots across Spring Hollow
- 3:19Road. from the driver's seat of a pickup. An
- 3:22Idaho Fish and Game Commissioner is appointed
- 3:24by the governor and helps oversee the Fish and
- 3:27Game Department, deciding what the rules are
- 3:30and how wildlife is managed across the state.
- 3:33Harshberger has pled not guilty to all counts,
- 3:37and a pretrial hearing is scheduled for April
- 3:3929th. The Idaho Fish and Game Office has no comment,
- 3:42as this is an active case. Strangely enough,
- 3:46it was not easy to find audio for this story.
- 3:49None of the major network covered it. I really
- 3:50had to dig. So this article was sent to me. I
- 3:55think the day it popped and then I forwarded
- 3:57it along to you and you laughed and said three
- 4:00other people had sent you the same article. This
- 4:02one is one note that which is awesome. Well,
- 4:05it's perfect. Our listeners are paying attention.
- 4:08Well, yes. And like it's the type of thing that
- 4:11is going to that's really going to click with
- 4:13our producers. You know, it's just so freaking
- 4:16on the nose, you know, person who literally lives
- 4:21to restrict others from doing this thing is caught
- 4:24doing the thing. It goes back to the shit you
- 4:29can't make up stuff we talk about was like the
- 4:32line between parody and reality is so thin you
- 4:35just don't even know anymore. But that's pretty
- 4:37it's pretty typical. Now, of course, he pleads
- 4:40not guilty. I guess we'll see how that develops.
- 4:45We already know that he was, so he didn't, it
- 4:47is important note, not to come to the man's defense,
- 4:50but he didn't do the shooting. What he's in trouble
- 4:53for doing is helping out a buddy do the poaching.
- 4:57So it'd be, I don't know. I don't remember exactly
- 4:59what the charges were, but I think of it as conspiracy
- 5:02to commit poaching. It's probably the best way
- 5:05I could sum it up. I think they nailed them for
- 5:06two or three different charges, but all of them
- 5:08surround are involved helping somebody else illegally
- 5:12hunt. and otherwise known as punch poaching.
- 5:15And then they also trespassed on somebody else's
- 5:18property to claim their illegally harvested elk,
- 5:22which man, what a bummer six point elk. That's
- 5:24a beauty, but it does reveal the time tested
- 5:31adage of rules for the, but not for me. The man
- 5:36whose literal job is to prevent these sorts of
- 5:39things from happening. And he's out there helping
- 5:43his good old buddies do the precise thing, things
- 5:49you can't make up. I don't remember the guy's
- 5:52name and I'll make it quick, but the, I think
- 5:54he worked for the Nevada, like the gaming, not
- 5:56the gaming commission or something thereabouts.
- 5:58The, uh, the apparatus of the regulatory body
- 6:01for gambling. And he has like a data specialist
- 6:05or computer specialist in this, I believe it
- 6:06was in the eighties. And he developed him. He
- 6:09was like, you know, the Kino, the Kino games.
- 6:11They're not really true random number generators.
- 6:14I bet I could build a little program that could,
- 6:17you know, figure out the keynote. And so he did.
- 6:20And the very first time he's like, Oh yeah, my,
- 6:22I think this model works. And he had his buddy,
- 6:25he went and basically like got a jackpot on the
- 6:28keynote. Like it is six o 'clock in the morning.
- 6:31Like it's his buddy went and did it for him and
- 6:33hits like $120 ,000 jackpot. And it's there's,
- 6:37and he like takes it up to the window and the
- 6:39lady like looks up at him like from behind her
- 6:43horn rim glasses and is like I have never in
- 6:4740 years you hit it like a jackpot what and then
- 6:51I think the mistake the guy made was he he gave
- 6:53like a fake ID to the lady to for the collection
- 6:56or whatever and then it was investigated and
- 6:58they they caught him because he's the computer
- 7:01guy for the gaming commission and so the computer
- 7:05you see what i'm saying and then he figured out
- 7:06the thing and then he spent a bunch of time in
- 7:07jail and the guy who's supposed to prevent That
- 7:09kind of thing. Right. That's your job. And I
- 7:13believe he spent a bunch of time in jail and
- 7:14then out on the other side was back working with
- 7:17the gaming commission to try to spot fraud or
- 7:19something thereabouts. But like, yeah, like a
- 7:21lot of times in these instances, like the first
- 7:23place to look is the governing apparatus, because
- 7:26who are those people? Well, they're just people.
- 7:30And that's something we've also talked about,
- 7:32you know, going back to that principle is like
- 7:34no matter what, wherever you go, if there are
- 7:36people, there are problems. If people are so
- 7:39bad and so evil, so crazy and wild that they
- 7:42need to be governed, who are the angels who are
- 7:44going to do the governing? And that's what seems
- 7:47to continually get lost in the mix just because
- 7:49somebody is a legislator or a glorious Chalupa
- 7:52Supreme Leader, leader, leader, or the president
- 7:56of your HOA or of the United States. It doesn't
- 7:58matter. People are people wherever you go. They're
- 8:01going to have the same impulses. They're going
- 8:02to have the same issues. We all human human nature
- 8:06is immutable. So. The only thing you've done
- 8:09now, once we've set up this Leviathan state apparatus
- 8:13is now you've just separated people into very
- 8:17distinct classes and groups and subgroups. And
- 8:21again, in a general sense, it's basically those
- 8:23with power and those with very little or none.
- 8:26And the power that the folks have who work in
- 8:29and for the government state agents, their power
- 8:32is almost a monopoly backed by the force of a
- 8:37government gun. Whereas our power us the little
- 8:39people. What do we get to do? Every couple of
- 8:42years we get to just choose our new glorious
- 8:45Chalupa supreme leaders Well and speaking of
- 8:49guns, we're gonna move along to the the firing
- 8:51squad story but just as like a final thought
- 8:54and how in particular with something like You
- 8:58know involving like the Fish and Game Commission
- 9:00There's also the part where this sort of stuff
- 9:03is what dashes the apparatus is credibility against
- 9:07the rocks It's just proof that they don't believe
- 9:10what they tell us. Oh, we if it weren't for this
- 9:14thing then because what we're trying to do is
- 9:16protect We're trying to protect the water the
- 9:19air the way the fill in the blank But then there's
- 9:21so many like example after example continues
- 9:23to surface on account of the imperfect the imperfection
- 9:26of humans as you mentioned That they don't actually
- 9:29even believe what they're telling us because
- 9:31they don't act it and it will know all of them
- 9:34Yeah, I know but like the examples are numerous
- 9:36and constant On an individual basis, I'm sure
- 9:39there are a number of them who really, really
- 9:41believe in the cause, but at a systemic level,
- 9:44it's a sham and a scam, just like every other
- 9:47government thing ever, basically. By its very
- 9:51nature, that's how it has to be. But we're told,
- 9:54of course, they tell us, well, without us, it
- 9:57would be anarchy. It would be chaos. And without
- 10:00us, who would stop people from poaching the 6
- 10:04.0? Who would keep the water clean who would
- 10:07blur to blur to blur when really these are the
- 10:09agencies that a lot of the time commit the atrocities
- 10:12themselves or these are the people who will come
- 10:14and and and steal your pet squirrel that you've
- 10:17befriended and Euthanize it because god forbid,
- 10:19you know, somebody makes friends with nature
- 10:22Hey calling all New York cops I don't have any
- 10:26squirrels. Please leave me alone. But for reals,
- 10:29that's the stuff that happens. Now here's a side
- 10:33story. You see people who post stuff on the interwebs
- 10:36and like, oh, look, look at my pet squirrel or
- 10:37my pet porcupine or my pet whatever. The National
- 10:42Forest is right out my backyard, and I just made
- 10:44friends with this animal. And isn't that really
- 10:46cool? And the whole internet's like, ah. And
- 10:49of course, naturally, the government's response
- 10:51is, well, we'll kill that for you. We can't be
- 10:54having. Wild animals be domesticated. We can't
- 10:57be. We can't be feeding wild animals because
- 11:00then they won't feed themselves. And then in
- 11:02the same breath, those people would be like,
- 11:03but welfare and welfare is a good thing. So speaking
- 11:09of the barrel of a government gun, a group of
- 11:12advocates and faith leaders are planning to gather
- 11:14to express their concerns about a potential new
- 11:17execution chamber in Idaho. Now this comes as
- 11:20Idaho recently made firing squad the state's
- 11:24primary form of execution. This new law that
- 11:27makes firing squad Idaho's primary execution
- 11:29method goes into effect July 1st. Several groups
- 11:33say they plan to gather for a press conference
- 11:35this week to share why they're against a new
- 11:37execution chamber that could soon be coming to
- 11:40Idaho. Vocal fry warning. Vocal fry warning.
- 11:47Building a new firing squad execution chamber,
- 11:50I think is God particularly cruel and inhumane.
- 11:54You know what's cruel and inhumane? Her voice.
- 12:01Are you for real, lady? Is the execution chamber
- 12:10like a comfortable couch and a TV and you put
- 12:15on Netflix and you have to sit next to her as
- 12:18she talks through the movie? Advocates, faith,
- 12:22leaders, and a family member of a man executed
- 12:36by firing squad will deliver petitions and letters
- 12:39on Tuesday to companies they say are helping
- 12:42build a new execution chamber in Idaho. to bring
- 12:47awareness that there are all of these corporations
- 12:49that are involved in this because these corporations
- 12:52are building schools and YMCA's and libraries
- 12:59and like all of the things that are a part of
- 13:01our communities communities. Idaho recently made
- 13:05firing squad the state. You know, these people
- 13:07have made me hate the word community. I hate
- 13:11the word rainbow. I hate the word community.
- 13:14I'm so black -pilled. I don't even know where
- 13:17to begin. You're a little behind the curve, though,
- 13:19dude. I learned to hate the word community when
- 13:21Barack Obama was running his first campaign for
- 13:24president. Ah, yeah, community organizing. Out
- 13:25of the woodwork. Yep. You got it. The minute
- 13:29that became a buzzword, it was like, oh my gosh,
- 13:32thanks for killing yet another... Word that yeah,
- 13:36they used to have positive connotations, but
- 13:38now it's now it just is code for high brow meddler
- 13:43Is all it is well, you know for who can't leave
- 13:46other people alone, you know for Obama to they
- 13:49were like COMM UNIS delete delete delete UNIT
- 13:54why I Remember that first campaign to hope and
- 13:58change change like and the unicorns are gonna
- 14:01sparkle and the seas are gonna recede And everything's
- 14:05going to be better tomorrow. And then everybody
- 14:07woke up and went, huh, it feels the same. Actually,
- 14:10South Park did an episode on that. I remember
- 14:12that. The change. Randy Marsh goes off and tells
- 14:19his boss to go fuck himself. And, and, you know,
- 14:21all the, all the liberals are in the streets
- 14:23like, whoa, yeah. And the next day he's like,
- 14:30Oh no. Everything's the same. Then he goes into
- 14:34work and he gets fired because he told his boss
- 14:36off. He's like, no, it's not even the same. It's
- 14:37worse. And, you know, I, I, I hail from the,
- 14:44that was, I was in the Bay area. I lived in San
- 14:46Francisco proper at that time. And I assure you,
- 14:49it really did be like that. Oh man, I bet. But
- 14:53back to the matter at hand, here's what I think
- 14:56strikes me as the, maybe the funniest, the silliest.
- 14:59I don't know. The saddest, this gal, is upset
- 15:05that the same corporations who have all the other
- 15:08contracts to work with the government to build,
- 15:10quote, build the schools, schools, schools, schools,
- 15:15my roads, my berries with books, birdie, birdie,
- 15:19bird are also the same corporations that wouldn't,
- 15:21you know, it build things that kill people. It's
- 15:24so weird. It's almost like corporations and government
- 15:27are essentially the same thing. They're, they're,
- 15:30they're basically glommed in with the Uniparty,
- 15:32the Democrats, the Republicans. They all are
- 15:36the same thing. They operate the same way corporations
- 15:39and government do. They're structured the same
- 15:40way. They have the same bureaucracy. They have
- 15:43the same career ladders. That's why there's so
- 15:46much back and forth between the two. Usually
- 15:48if you get beat in politics, you just switch
- 15:53over to the corporate scene. And then at some
- 15:55point when you've made enough money or you're
- 15:58the CEO of something, then you can Slide back
- 16:01over into the political scene and it happens
- 16:03all the time or do what a lot of them do and
- 16:06you become a lobbyist you lobby for a particular
- 16:10industry and then at some point you become a
- 16:13Representative or senator and then when you at
- 16:15some point lose your seat You just go back into
- 16:18being a quote -unquote consultant. That's what
- 16:20they like to call them or lobbyist for the same
- 16:23industry It's it. This is how hello Hello. Hello.
- 16:28This is how this works. This is why I'm one of
- 16:31the gorillion reasons why I'm an anarchist and
- 16:33a libertarian. Dude, the fact that it's 2026
- 16:38and this is a revelation to people, it still
- 16:40frustrates me because it's like, we have the
- 16:42internet. You can look all this up. You can see
- 16:44it all happening in real time. You retards. So
- 16:48this guy with vocal fry is big mad that the government
- 16:51and the corporations are all working together
- 16:53to build both schools. and killy things. Who
- 16:57knew? This is like the show title from a few
- 17:00shows ago. It's the cartel carousel. Idaho recently
- 17:06made firing squad the state's primary method
- 17:09of execution after shortages of lethal injection
- 17:12drugs. A firing squad execution is carried out
- 17:16by a team of shooters who fire live rounds at
- 17:19a restrained inmate on death row. It's unclear
- 17:22if Idaho will use a live team of people or a
- 17:26remote -operated system. Several people say they
- 17:29plan to gather for a press conference on Tuesday
- 17:31to call on companies involved to not participate
- 17:34in building this new execution chamber, including
- 17:37the group Worth Rises. The left -wing Kami Pinko
- 17:42group, Worth Rises, which of course, remember,
- 17:46whenever there's a political label omitted, it's
- 17:48a Kami organization. And whenever it's to the
- 17:50right of Mao, they label it far right, KKK, right
- 17:54wing, alt right. people who will be accompanying
- 18:02us on this protest is Randy Gardner, whose brother
- 18:06was shot by a firing squad. And when the autopsy
- 18:11reports came out, it became very clear that the
- 18:13people who were shooting were shooting deliberately
- 18:15off center. And so it took his brother a long
- 18:19time to die and he essentially died from bleeding
- 18:21out. In typical white lefty chick fashion, she
- 18:24feels the sympathy for the multiple murderer
- 18:28who was shot by a firing squad. I'd like to read
- 18:31to you who Randy Gardner is. He's the brother
- 18:34of the guy who was shot, anti -death penalty
- 18:36activist whose advocacy stems from the execution
- 18:38of his younger brother, Ronnie Lee Gardner, by
- 18:40firing squad in Utah in 2010. In 1984, Ronnie
- 18:43Lee Gardner, at 22 years old, murdered 33 -year
- 18:46-old Michael Burdell, a lawyer, during a robbery
- 18:49in Salt Lake City. Burdell was killed during
- 18:51a failed attempt to keep blah blah blah and then
- 18:53in 1985 while awaiting trial for the Burdell
- 18:55murder Gardner escaped from the Utah County jail
- 18:58during the escape He took hostages and committed
- 19:00multiple additional assaults and while attempting
- 19:03to escape during his trial proceedings Gardner
- 19:05shot and killed a courthouse security guard and
- 19:07a taxi cab driver The murder during the escape
- 19:11attempt is often cited as the most significant
- 19:13factor leading to the death penalty It is for
- 19:16that individual that this chick feels sympathy
- 19:19and is is devoting her at least some of her time,
- 19:22if not her entire professional professional career,
- 19:24you know, to activism on his behalf. That's pretty
- 19:28typical. Yeah, no, it's these these it's called
- 19:32suicidal empathy is what it's called, although
- 19:35other I've also heard it as toxic empathy. But
- 19:38I think suicidal empathy is the way to go. And
- 19:41that is it's not the exclusive realm of affluent
- 19:44white leftist women. But man, they do have the
- 19:48market cornered pretty hard on it. I mean, these
- 19:50are the people who will look you in the eye and
- 19:52tell you that we should bring in every single
- 19:55person into the country, whether they bring good
- 19:58stuff or bad stuff, it doesn't matter. We should
- 20:00bring them in and throw a blanket around them
- 20:02and give them everything. But also, we're living
- 20:06on, like, there are no borders, but we're living
- 20:07on stolen land. Yes, land acknowledgement. Yep.
- 20:12Western civilization is the worst. But that's
- 20:14why all these people from everywhere else are
- 20:16trying to come to America and we should give
- 20:18them everything, but at our expense and the expense
- 20:20of our children and our grandchildren. I mean,
- 20:22that's one example. Where's Lee Lee Lee Lee Lee?
- 20:25I need that on my soundboard. These are people
- 20:31who will sacrifice their children and their grandchildren
- 20:33on the altar of false senses of nobility. This
- 20:38gal is empathizing with a at least two time murderer
- 20:42and what? five time assaulter and et cetera,
- 20:45et cetera, et cetera. I mean, how low can you
- 20:48go? I mean, the death penalty is a, is a topic
- 20:51worth unpacking for sure. And I have mixed feelings
- 20:54about it for a number of different reasons for
- 20:56sure. I also find it fascinating that they have
- 20:58to build a special chamber for firing squad.
- 21:02What can't you accomplish with just a firing
- 21:05range or just a spot out in the yard? Why do
- 21:09you need a special chamber for it? that the taxpayers
- 21:12now have to put the bill for. Also, if we wanted
- 21:16to unpack another aspect of this, the reason
- 21:19why the firing squad stuff came up. Do you know
- 21:21why, Scott? Do you know why firing squad is now
- 21:23the number one mode in Idaho? I think it's because
- 21:26the lethal injection drugs were like, there was
- 21:30a scarcity or there was difficulty obtaining
- 21:32it for some reason. Correct. And that's a national
- 21:35issue. Every state is having this issue, but
- 21:38it's intentional. This is intentional. Yeah,
- 21:41it is well known and well documented that activist
- 21:44groups and activist corporations and, and I don't,
- 21:47I don't have names, but you can, you can dig
- 21:49into it further and you can look, it is happening.
- 21:51It is true have effectively placed their hands
- 21:55on parts of the supply chain. Cause it's multiple
- 21:58components that all come together for the lethal
- 22:01injection method to work. And what they've done
- 22:03is place their hands on a couple of parts of
- 22:05the supply chain and then squeezed and made it
- 22:08so that some of the chemicals that go into the
- 22:13cocktail, if you will, are no longer being produced
- 22:16or are being produced at levels so low, there's
- 22:19not enough to go around and the states cannot
- 22:22get the supply of it to use lethal injection.
- 22:25And that is all by design. That is intentional.
- 22:27And of course, as usual, unintended consequences,
- 22:31states who have the death penalty aren't going
- 22:33to just be like, oh, well, I guess that means
- 22:36no death penalty anymore forever. Now instead,
- 22:39they're going to be like, all right, well, what
- 22:41else can we do? Duh. And so in Idaho, because
- 22:44we love our guns, well, I mean, there's no shortage
- 22:47of bullets. Bullets are expensive, but lots of
- 22:49them out there. So that's the way we went in
- 22:52Idaho. So this gal who's all pissed off about
- 22:55them building a new chamber for the firing squad
- 22:58doesn't connect the dots that it's her own ilk
- 23:02who are the reason Idaho is pursuing the firing
- 23:05squad. This is classic tactics. It's the same
- 23:08thing as um, you make the appeals process 80
- 23:11billion years long, and then you point to like,
- 23:15Oh, it's see the process takes so long and it's
- 23:16so expensive. That's why we can't do it. So it's,
- 23:19it's, they're just anti death penalty. Yeah.
- 23:22And in the death penalty, so 100%, you know,
- 23:25we, and we can sit here and unpack the death
- 23:26penalty as a philosophical and ideological or
- 23:29political issue all day long. And maybe we'll
- 23:32do that someday. Um, but there are cut and dry.
- 23:36uh, uh, scenarios, circumstances, cases where
- 23:40it's just like, what are we doing here? And when
- 23:41you mentioned this one that they've brought up
- 23:44in Utah, you notice the crimes were committed
- 23:46in like the late eighties, early nineties, and
- 23:48he finally was executed in 2010. Yeah. That's
- 23:52insane. Yeah, it is insane. Yep. Yeah. Because
- 23:55this is the thing. That's also on purpose. Yeah.
- 23:57That's what I'm saying. That's the mechanics
- 23:59of the actual carrying out of the punishment.
- 24:01So they mess with the mechanics and then they
- 24:03point to the mechanics not working as a reason
- 24:04that we can't do that. Correct. It's the same,
- 24:08it's the age old thing about like what they did
- 24:10with NIC and like what the North Idaho Republicans
- 24:12do with every institution here, the NIR. So when
- 24:16I say North Idaho Republicans, I'm referring
- 24:18to the organization known as the NIR, which actively
- 24:21works against the conservative wing of the Cootie
- 24:24County Republicans. The NIR are rhinos, Republicans
- 24:27name only. So I always got to make sure I'm clear
- 24:30about that when I'm... for anybody who's tuning
- 24:32in just now. So the NIR, the North Idaho Republicans,
- 24:36they do that with every institution up here.
- 24:38NIC, the libraries, any time conservatives actually
- 24:41gain a foothold of control on any of the boards
- 24:43and begin changing some policies, typically for
- 24:46the better and to the benefit of the taxpayer
- 24:48as it should be. Then what they do is they metaphorically
- 24:52and literally pull fire alarms, set fires, do
- 24:55all kinds of stuff, wave their hands. Submit
- 24:59complaints threaten accreditation and then actually
- 25:01submit complaints to get accreditation threatened
- 25:03They basically light the house on fire and while
- 25:06it's burning down blame the people inside of
- 25:09it I want to do it just occurred to me. I'd like
- 25:13to do an on -the -fly ask Paul Here comes the
- 25:15question big or small make your guess before
- 25:18we call the game begins. It's asked Paul brought
- 25:22to you by Pfizer now I have like I said, this
- 25:25is where I did not plan it the state of Idaho
- 25:28has carried out. How many executions since 1976?
- 25:34And I say 76 because that was the year. Yeah,
- 25:36that was the year of there was sort of a restart
- 25:38of the of the death penalty laws in the U .S.
- 25:41because the Supreme Court made a bunch of it
- 25:44was arbitrary sentencing. I don't need to go
- 25:46into it, but that there was some some landmark
- 25:48Supreme Court stuff in 76. So since 76, how many
- 25:52has the state of Idaho carried out? I would say
- 25:56so. I don't know. But knowing what I do know,
- 26:02about the process and Idaho's population and
- 26:05a couple of high profile cases that I am aware
- 26:07of. I would put them between 76 and now that's
- 26:1150 years. I would put the number at somewhere
- 26:14in between six and 12. So I guess I'll split
- 26:18the difference and say like eight. The North
- 26:22Idaho NAACP judge is dancing a jig. He's so excited
- 26:27that you blew this one to high heaven, not even
- 26:29close. Three. Not even close. Not even three.
- 26:33Three. Three. So this entire thing, we don't.
- 26:38Those are rookie numbers. We got to bump those
- 26:39up. That's the thing. The state, Idaho doesn't
- 26:42do it in the first place. No, no, we really don't.
- 26:46I mean, I knew we didn't, but dang that. Dang.
- 26:49How do you like that? It was a pretty fair number.
- 26:53Look up the Duncan case in the early 2000s. That's
- 26:56an example of how justice is not served. That's
- 26:59a dude who killed a whole family, left two kids
- 27:06alive, kidnapped them, did horrible things to
- 27:09both of them, killed one of them. And there was
- 27:11only one survivor at the end of it all. And I
- 27:15don't think she's alive anymore either. I think
- 27:16she actually committed suicide a few years later.
- 27:18And that dude spent 20, almost 30 years on trial
- 27:21for it. Nate, because they were seeking the death
- 27:23penalty. Oh, this is the one out by Wolf Lodge.
- 27:26He died of cancer. Yep. Yep. Yeah. He died of
- 27:30cancer before they could execute him if memory
- 27:33serves. Yeah, I do remember. He never even got
- 27:35around to it. And it was like 30 years. Yeah.
- 27:39Let's see. He was convicted. Just for those of
- 27:41you who haven't heard of it, 2005 Idaho murders
- 27:44and kidnappings committed by Joseph Edward Duncan
- 27:46III. Sorry, 20 years. Yeah, good, close enough.
- 27:50Even the North Idaho NAACP guy is nodding, so
- 27:53yeah, you got that one. May 16, 2005, Duncan
- 27:57entered a rural home just outside Coeur d 'Alene
- 27:59after staking it out for days. The night vision
- 28:01goggles, just crazy, just out of a horror movie.
- 28:06In the home, he's like on a hillside, like staking
- 28:09out this... like, little homestead, I guess.
- 28:12And then he eventually made his way in the home.
- 28:13He bound and murdered three people, the mother,
- 28:16the 13 -year -old son, and the boyfriend, zip
- 28:19ties, duct tape, and bludgeoned. Oh yeah, I can't,
- 28:22ugh, I can't keep reading this. It hurts me.
- 28:24Yeah, it's rough. Okay, so anyway, he spent years
- 28:26on federal death row. He waived appeals at times,
- 28:29and courts held multiple competency hearings
- 28:31to confirm the waiver was valid. He ultimately
- 28:34died in custody in 2021 from stage four brain
- 28:37cancer before the execution could be carried
- 28:39out. So 16 years that dude and they and they
- 28:43still hadn't even gotten to Like I think the
- 28:46final verdict where it was like, yep. Okay, we're
- 28:48gonna kill you now. I never even got there And
- 28:51this one was so cutting. I mean this was as cut
- 28:53and dry as it gets it was all like yeah This
- 28:55is the guy he's admitted to it all the evidence
- 28:58points to this guy. There's can all the different
- 29:00connections I mean, it's just like case shut
- 29:03and closed and Murdered at the end of it all
- 29:08for people two of them, basically children. And
- 29:11then the one surviving, the one survivor just,
- 29:14yeah, it's a legal system, not a justice system.
- 29:18And then these people that we're talking about
- 29:20today, fighting and whining and crying about
- 29:23this, uh, this new kill chamber being created.
- 29:29I mean, my God, how many different ways we could
- 29:31sit here and unpack this and just this 12 different
- 29:34ways all day. Reason number eleventy billion
- 29:38and one why I am a libertarian anarchist No kidding
- 29:42so messed up and at the end of it all this You
- 29:44know people the NPCs and people who came barely
- 29:47rubbed two brain cells together just go yeah
- 29:49But without my government who would protect who
- 29:51would protect us from the bad guys? Who would
- 29:55protect us from the poachers? Okay, this Duncan
- 29:59thing is you want to throw up. Let's just finish
- 30:01this clip time to die and he essentially died
- 30:04from bleeding out. When this firing squad bill
- 30:06was being debated on the House floor back in
- 30:092023, some lawmakers who were for it said it
- 30:13was a way to make this as quote quick and professional
- 30:16as possible while still trying to uphold the
- 30:20death penalty. And in a release from the Idaho
- 30:23Department of Correction last year, they said
- 30:25the F block execution unit at the state's maximum
- 30:29security prison was going to be updated for firing
- 30:32squad executions, with construction expected
- 30:35to take six to nine months. We reached out for
- 30:38an update on that, but we have not heard back.
- 30:40Advocates say 2 ,000 people have signed a petition
- 30:43and about 30 faith leaders have signed a letter
- 30:46asking for companies involved to not be a part
- 30:49of this. Yeah, Subaru, can you guys stop making
- 30:53attack helicopters for the military? Because
- 30:55your commercials on TV say your cars are made
- 30:57with love. So if you could just stick with the
- 30:59love cars and stop making, you know, assault
- 31:02weaponry for the military, that'd be really terrific.
- 31:05Signed, the American Left. See, that's where
- 31:08you're wrong, man. Like, you make those attack
- 31:10helicopters with love because we all know love
- 31:12hurts. Or as my dad used to say, you only hurt
- 31:18the ones you love. All right. Also, Subaru. If
- 31:22you are going to make attack helicopters like
- 31:24that, could you give old Sheriff Norris a call?
- 31:27I think he's in the market. Let's I wish I had
- 31:32something with you know what here, this is this
- 31:34is levity. The the no kings people protesting
- 31:37down at the Idaho Capitol. I count this as levity.
- 31:42This is going to be a bunch of comedy gold in
- 31:44here. Get ready. Here at the Idaho State Capitol
- 31:46where Saturday, another no Kings protest took
- 31:49place. I asked Idahoans why they came out and
- 31:53the changes they're hoping to see across Idaho
- 31:55and the country. Get ready. Get ready with the
- 31:58lead a lead a lead a lead. And what do we want?
- 32:00No Kings. How do we get it? Vote for other Kings.
- 32:05Just to do a mainstream media thing in the days
- 32:09leading up to it. Every single network was doing
- 32:13promotion. Hey, coming up this Saturday, guys.
- 32:15Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. So now if we were
- 32:19seeing that for like Raising Canes or the Coeur
- 32:22d 'Alene Casino, what would we assume that that
- 32:25was? Well, Scott, we would assume that that was
- 32:30a faux grass roots, but actually paid promotion.
- 32:34And what do you call them? Natural native ad.
- 32:39Thank you. Native ads. Yep. And what's interesting
- 32:43about that, so it's awesome that you bring that
- 32:45up, is the odds are squarely 50 -50 that it's
- 32:49one or the other, or maybe the odds are 100 %
- 32:53that they're both. A little bit of both. Oh yeah,
- 33:01calling all patriots. A sea of signs and voices
- 33:06filled the Capitol steps Saturday as thousands
- 33:08of neighbors from across the Treasure Valley
- 33:11came together for another No Kings demonstration.
- 33:14It's just neighbors in the community. Community,
- 33:17community, community. We came together for another
- 33:19No Kings demonstration. All members of the community
- 33:24across Idaho are turning up to show that we are
- 33:27able to hold the government accountable and that
- 33:29we won't take the assault. Are you? Yeah, is
- 33:32this from 2020? Oh, no. No, it's from yesterday.
- 33:36Kind of the assault on not only working class
- 33:38families, but constitutional rights and protection.
- 33:41Oh, yeah. Remember how much they they they love
- 33:43the assault on working class families in the
- 33:45Constitution. Anybody remember? Anybody? Pepperidge
- 33:48Farm? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Not only working
- 33:52class families, but constitutional rights and
- 33:54protection. The No Kings rally is part of a nationwide
- 33:57push against what organizers say is unchecked
- 34:01presidential power. And to me, I think No Kings
- 34:03means that the people get to decide that it's
- 34:06the people's decision and not one person in power.
- 34:09I was an old school Republican. What? These are
- 34:13the people. You sure about that? You sure about
- 34:17that? You sure about that? I don't think they're
- 34:20so sure about that. Or maybe I should say they're
- 34:22too sure about that. They're positive. You ever
- 34:24heard of the Dunning, the Dunning Kruger effect?
- 34:26I sure have. I figured. But I thought it was
- 34:31more fun asking it question style. This is, I
- 34:34think, a aversion of that. These people really
- 34:38have no clue what they're talking about. And
- 34:41the intellectual consistency is zippity doo dah.
- 34:45The ideological and philosophical consistency
- 34:47is also zilch. But they speak with such enviable
- 34:52confidence in what they're saying. Like they're
- 34:55so sure about what they think they believe while
- 34:58not connecting the dots on how far apart they
- 35:02actually are. from what they are saying versus
- 35:04what they do versus what they believe is wild.
- 35:08It's wild. It should be on the nature network
- 35:11because it's so wild. And here spotted in the
- 35:15wild in its natural habitat is the American unself
- 35:18-aware communist. I was an old school Republican.
- 35:22I raised $100 ,000 for H .W. Bush's campaign
- 35:25in 88. Oh, that tells us exactly what we need
- 35:28to know about you. I was a big government Republican
- 35:34in the late 80s, early 90s, a big government
- 35:38Republican. I raised lots of money for the big
- 35:41government Republicans and now I'm a big government
- 35:45Democrat. Prepare to hear my credentials, reporter
- 35:49lady. I was speaking of breaking down the mainstream,
- 35:53Scott. This is a tactic. This is actually a classic
- 35:56tactic, particularly in Idaho that they use.
- 36:00because Idaho having the more, you know, blood
- 36:02red conservative aura about it, which actually
- 36:05isn't that true. It's not that true. It's sort
- 36:08of true, which puts us leaps and bounds ahead
- 36:10of all the states where it isn't. The opposite
- 36:13is screamingly true. Well, it's all relative.
- 36:16It's like, you know, you have a glass, you have
- 36:18two glasses of water and one has 50 % piss and
- 36:20one has 90 % piss. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You know,
- 36:24one's better than the other. But in Idaho this
- 36:28is a very classic tactic that the again the NRI
- 36:31the North Idaho Republicans use all the time
- 36:33or the people who are true blue Democrats leftists,
- 36:36but what one time they voted for a bush This
- 36:40is how they do it and then and the media the
- 36:42mainstream media puts these gives these people
- 36:44a platform because it because of the dynamic
- 36:47of the state where they're like look see everybody
- 36:49this person used to be a Good Republican and
- 36:52now they've switched. What's wrong with you for
- 36:54not switching? you know, et cetera, et cetera.
- 36:57It's a tactic and it can be effective at times.
- 37:00It's dirty and it's disingenuous as all of their
- 37:03tactics are. But here it is, right here, breaking
- 37:06down mainstream media. This is a tactic. I was
- 37:10an old school Republican. I raised $100 ,000
- 37:12for H .W. Bush's campaign in 88. But when I see
- 37:16this country... not respecting the Constitution.
- 37:18We have to do something about it. For many, the
- 37:20message is about checks and balances and the
- 37:22change they want to see in America. When Bush
- 37:27senior didn't respect the Constitution, it was
- 37:29cool. I raised 100 grand for him. I mean, what
- 37:32was said is, let's see, 88 to 92 was H .W. Bush.
- 37:36So 24 years. So for the last 24 years, we've
- 37:39definitely been respecting the Constitution.
- 37:41It's only now right now. Thirty four years to
- 37:44take a stand because my oh, you're right. Paul
- 37:47can't math because my so for so for almost as
- 37:50long as I've been alive. I'm 37. The Constitution
- 37:53somehow has been intact until now. Right. And
- 37:57where was I in 2020? Exactly. I was triple masking
- 38:00my five year old main change that I'd like to
- 38:02see is less. arrest by ICE, or at least less
- 38:06illegal arrest in courthouses and trying to trick
- 38:09people into opening their doors. Just arrest
- 38:13non -illegals then, please. Don't arrest the
- 38:16illegals, but please arrest non -illegals. I'm
- 38:19against ICE. Had you ever heard of ICE before
- 38:24five minutes ago? I'm against ICE. Trying to
- 38:28trick people into opening their doors or people
- 38:31quite literally dying over ice and attendees
- 38:33say Saturday's large crowds stood out compared
- 38:35to previous demonstrations. So I'm pretty excited
- 38:38to see it's going all the way down to the street
- 38:40and looking at the turnout today. I think it's
- 38:42pretty obvious people are tired. They're tired
- 38:44of the status quo. They're tired of their current
- 38:46leadership, leadership, leadership concerns at
- 38:48the rally range from immigration enforcement
- 38:51to international conflict, government spending,
- 38:54budget cuts and military action in Iran. We don't
- 38:57get the truth from this administration, and we
- 38:59the people deserve a voice from our government,
- 39:02and we deserve to be heard. And some feel the
- 39:04issues the country is facing hit close to home.
- 39:07So we have long roots in Idaho. Scott, the NPCs
- 39:09are mad. Oh, they are so mad. Yeah. They really
- 39:15have a clear sense of what government overreach
- 39:17is. Yep. And here they are in the streets. This
- 39:20is like one of my favorite quotes ever. ever
- 39:24in a movie from a pretty good movie to solid
- 39:27entry in the history of movies as gladiator.
- 39:29I mean, obviously it's historical shite, but
- 39:32it's a great movie. And Rome is the mob. The
- 39:36mob is Rome. I mean, these people are NPCs. We're
- 39:39mad. Why? Uh, because my constitution and I don't
- 39:44like ice and government should be a voice of
- 39:48the people. Okay. Like because it's ever been
- 39:54those things to begin with? You people are NPCs.
- 39:59You're mad because you've been told to be mad.
- 40:01Yeah, you've been algoed into it. And not only
- 40:04has it always been those things, but when everyone's
- 40:07lifetime's most egregious examples of government
- 40:10totalitarianism flared up five years ago, you
- 40:13all cowered in your houses because you thought
- 40:16the air was dangerous. Or sighted with it. Or
- 40:19worse, most of those people who are at the no
- 40:21king's protest right now. So here's the deal.
- 40:24Quick 10 ,000 foot view here, I guess. At this
- 40:28point, if anybody doesn't know me well enough
- 40:29on this podcast, I guess now's the time to get
- 40:31to know me a little bit. And Scott, I think he
- 40:34shares most of this as well. They're not wrong
- 40:39at the 10 ,000 foot view where the Trump administration
- 40:42has been a disaster, an absolute disaster. Trump
- 40:452 .0 is the hottest of hot garbage. You know,
- 40:49I had high hopes for it. I didn't vote for him.
- 40:51I haven't voted for a Republican or a Democrat
- 40:55president since I voted for Bush Jr. the first
- 40:58time. And I was just coming out of high school
- 41:01and trans, you know, transitioning from being
- 41:05a neo con because that's what my parents were
- 41:08to then becoming a libertarian light and real
- 41:10libertarian, then a hardcore libertarian, minarchist,
- 41:14and then an anarchist, which I am now. But I've,
- 41:16you know, since then, It's the Uniparty, they're
- 41:19the same thing. Trump 1 .0 was a slight surprise
- 41:23positive. I had hoped Trump 2 .0 was gonna build
- 41:27on some of that, especially with deregulation
- 41:29at the federal level. He had surrounded himself
- 41:32with a few more libertarian minded people, but
- 41:34then as soon as they won in 2024, I mean, the
- 41:38Doge stuff, that was super exciting. And I guarantee
- 41:41you these NoKings people hated the Doge stuff
- 41:43because God forbid, We don't give $40 million
- 41:45to studying whether or not beavers have penises
- 41:47or vaginas. What irks me is that these people
- 41:51are so hypocritical about it because, yeah, there
- 41:54have been a number of unnecessary deaths due
- 41:57to very aggressive illegal immigration enforcement
- 42:00policies. And there are some significant flaws
- 42:03with the execution of what ICE has been doing.
- 42:07And it's targeted. They're targeting blue cities.
- 42:09But of course, blue cities are the sanctuary
- 42:11cities. So where else are you going to go? first
- 42:14off, to implement your policies. But it is intentional
- 42:17politically, too. You're trying to punish blue
- 42:19cities. You're trying to prove a point. You're
- 42:20trying to be aggressive. And also, that's where
- 42:22most of the illegals are. So it makes sense.
- 42:25But the way they've gone about it have led to
- 42:27some unnecessary deaths. It's true. The communication
- 42:30garbage. It's true. The Iran conflict, war, whatever
- 42:35you want to call it. Technically, we haven't
- 42:37declared war. So, you know, a policing action
- 42:39is probably the best term for it. Or Israeli
- 42:42shield. We could just say, you know, since we're
- 42:45again fighting on behalf of a little nation state
- 42:48that actually hates us. That's also a good point.
- 42:53I'm against that shit. It's crushed the markets.
- 42:56It's going to cause shortages of crops, shortages
- 42:59of pharmaceuticals. The Strait of Hormuz is kind
- 43:02of a big deal. You know, war is bad for prosperity.
- 43:06War is bad for commerce. Unless, of course, you
- 43:08make killy things or make or work for companies
- 43:11that make killy things. Then, of course. You
- 43:13know, you're doing great. You're doing just fine.
- 43:15So these people have points in a vacuum, valid
- 43:19points. Why we can't take them seriously is because
- 43:23they are the biggest hypocrites on planet Earth.
- 43:25Yeah, they don't actually believe anything they
- 43:27say. They want no kings. They do not. They think
- 43:29they do, but they think they do. They think they
- 43:31are intellectually consistent. You can't look
- 43:34us in the eye and call your movement no kings
- 43:36when you very, very, very much want a king. You,
- 43:40you, you slobbered all over Biden who fashioned
- 43:43himself a gray haired dictator. You slobbered
- 43:46all over Fauci who was a gray haired dictator
- 43:49and so on and so forth. So it's not no Kings.
- 43:52It's just, it's not your King. It's, it's also
- 43:57like that gal that they interviewed, uh, that
- 43:59you put on the podcast a few ones, a few podcasts
- 44:01ago about Iran. And she goes, uh, basically like,
- 44:04Oh, I'm so excited that this dictator has been
- 44:07killed. Uh, I can't wait to bring back the King.
- 44:10The Shaw. Yeah. Yeah. OK. You people aren't for
- 44:15freedom either. You just you just want the king
- 44:17to be who you picked. So I'm laughing the hardest
- 44:20at these no kings. I make fun of conservatives
- 44:22all the time, even true blue conservatives, because
- 44:24they still are terrible on certain topics, but
- 44:27they're better on, you know, again, 30 percent
- 44:29piss versus 50 percent piss. But we're getting
- 44:32I've given these no kings people it's no mercy
- 44:35because they're the worst of the worst. They
- 44:38side with the empire in Star Wars. They are the,
- 44:42the Cardassians or the Borg. They are the Borg
- 44:46in Star Trek. Like they are the first district
- 44:50in Hunger Games with the complete with the blue
- 44:53hair and everything. But when they, when they,
- 44:55when they look in the mirror, they see Luke Skywalker
- 44:58or the, the, uh, who's the chick who, uh, screwed
- 45:02a Harvey Weinstein, uh, Lawrence, Jennifer Lawrence,
- 45:06Lawrence, uh, the Hunger Games. They, they see,
- 45:08um, you know, they, they, they see the, the,
- 45:10um, the hero who's fighting the power. Yeah.
- 45:15Well, and they think that's me. I'm that person.
- 45:18And then they, and then they go out and they
- 45:21vote for and root for and cheer on and sympathize
- 45:24with, empathize with, and rationalize and support
- 45:28and defend the bad guys, the state, except for
- 45:33when the glorious Chalupa Supreme leaders are
- 45:37not the precise ones that they themselves chose.
- 45:40Then I've got a problem. They don't have a problem
- 45:42with the apparatus. They have a problem with
- 45:44who's running the apparatus. And they actually
- 45:46don't even have that. They just have what the
- 45:48ALGO told them to have. Let's finish this clip.
- 45:51If IRS agents were banging down our doors and
- 45:54extracting more money from us and flash banging
- 45:56our babies in the cribs and leaving our lives
- 45:59in tatters, these people would have nothing to
- 46:01say about it. Here's the last part of this retarded
- 46:04nonsense. Hit close to home. So we have long
- 46:06routes in Idaho. We love the state of Idaho.
- 46:09but it's very sad to see what's you could have
- 46:11just stopped at the state but okay the state
- 46:14of idaho but it's very sad to see what's happened
- 46:17here i have four kids and i'm a teacher and my
- 46:23kids deserve better this isn't the america i
- 46:27hope that i get to raise my kids and won't somebody
- 46:29please think of the children i'm a teacher yeah
- 46:33yeah we know we we understand yeah we know yeah
- 46:36how many of your kids have you already tried
- 46:37to transition You sociopathic freak. Let's do
- 46:45one final quick one here before we take our mid
- 46:47show breather because we have a few things to
- 46:49get to in the value for value segment. So I think
- 46:52we'll just keep it super short here as a foot.
- 46:56I have this real quick at the end. I meant to
- 46:58play this and then sometimes you're so fast and
- 47:00I'm so slow. I'm your king. OK, thank you. Extremely
- 47:08important contribution from Paul Soundboard.
- 47:10Thank you so very deeply. Slow, but. Effective.
- 47:18Here is a follow up. The deal for Silverwood
- 47:22has officially closed. Silverwood has been operated
- 47:38by the Norton family since 1988. The 2026 season
- 47:42begins coming up May 2nd and will still offer
- 47:45the same experiences known to guests like the
- 47:48Night of the Stars, Coaster Classic, and of course
- 47:51the favorite, Scarywood. Hirshend says it's committed
- 47:54to transparent communication with hosts guests
- 47:57and the local community community as this transition
- 48:00is that word again blah blah blah blah blah there's
- 48:03just like the corporate boilerplate that they
- 48:06the the Corporation has issued a statement That
- 48:09chat GPT wrote and sounds exactly like every
- 48:12other corporate statement you've ever heard in
- 48:14your entire life. Here we go community community
- 48:17community community community community community
- 48:20community Cha -ching, community, community, cha
- 48:22-ching, community. And the local community. Speaking
- 48:26of cha -ching, this ridiculous program that if
- 48:30you're still listening to, I don't know, I thank
- 48:32you or my condolences or I don't really know
- 48:34what to say. But in any case, whatever it is,
- 48:37it runs on value for value. Value for value is
- 48:41our model. That is why there are no ads on this
- 48:45show. There's no native ads. There's nothing
- 48:47we're trying to sneak into you in the form of
- 48:50a clip. We're just we're trying to pretend that
- 48:52something we're just covering but it's actually
- 48:55an ad like we're not doing any ads on behalf
- 48:57of like Idaho's new Firing squad the execution
- 49:01center like yes, it's being built by General
- 49:04Dynamics Yes, General Dynamics were Paul and
- 49:07Scott like none of that crap But if we were doing
- 49:10an ad on a new kill chamber, I would definitely
- 49:13be excited about that Shut up and take my money
- 49:16Yeah, well, I mean, you know, it's state money,
- 49:18you know, that there be and then you know what,
- 49:20if we ever got the amount of money we were being
- 49:22paid for the ads, you know, cut by 2%, we could
- 49:25just throw an everlovin fit. How can you expect
- 49:28our show to function on only 98 % of our ad revenue?
- 49:32You're killing people. You're literally killing
- 49:36Scott and I. I mean, these cuts are killing people.
- 49:41Literally, literally, literally, literally. No,
- 49:44we don't do any of that. there's no sponsors,
- 49:46there's no ads, we run on value for value. That
- 49:50is a very simple model. And what it means is
- 49:53that we, as a sponsor free program, try to bring
- 49:58you value with our show. Every Thursday, a new
- 50:01episode comes out, we cover the ridiculous nonsense
- 50:04that goes on in the state of Idaho. And we've
- 50:08tried we try to provide info attainment, which
- 50:10is a term, you know, I think I'm going to cut
- 50:12that out. I really hate it. information and entertainment
- 50:15at the same time, uh, about what goes on in your
- 50:18state. I just want, okay. So if you're going
- 50:20to edit that out, but if not, I was, I'm not
- 50:23with him on that one. Yeah, no, I hate it. It's,
- 50:26I don't even know why I said it. It's pathetic.
- 50:28I got algo. Scott acted unilaterally on, on that
- 50:32particular thing. How about new? The algo works,
- 50:36dude. I've seen it and heard it enough times
- 50:38that we're like, there you go. I do have at least
- 50:41some NPC in my brain, and it just came flying
- 50:43out of my mouth. And for that, I'm sorry. You
- 50:47are forgiven. OK, thanks. So anyway, yeah. All
- 50:50you got to do, though, to be truly forgiven is
- 50:53donate to the show, Scott. I donate to my own
- 50:57show. Perfect. There's like, I remember one time
- 51:00I used the company credit card to buy a round
- 51:03of beers for someone and the other partners were
- 51:05like, what are you doing? I was like, I don't
- 51:08know. You don't do that, dude. You don't take,
- 51:12you don't. And I was, you know, I'd had a few
- 51:15beers when I made the decision. So you'll forgive
- 51:17me. It was part of the part of the business model.
- 51:20Anyway, so if you find this program to be valuable.
- 51:24then we ask that you contribute value back to
- 51:27the show. And you can do that with your time,
- 51:29your talent, or your treasure. Time and talent
- 51:32are contributions of any kind that take one or
- 51:35both of those things. Taking the time to make
- 51:38show art, send in audio clips, send in articles
- 51:42that you think we should cover, like the bunch
- 51:45of people who sent in the Fish and Game Commissioner
- 51:49poaching story. That is a form of value returned.
- 51:52keeping us at the front of your mind and sending
- 51:54stuff our way when you see it. A huge value return
- 51:57is word of mouth, is telling people about the
- 52:00show. Maybe the biggest of non -monetary value
- 52:04return one can engage in. That's how shows grow.
- 52:07We really appreciate that. Please and thank you.
- 52:10Then there's the treasure portion, which is sort
- 52:12of self -explanatory, hopefully, but it is monetary
- 52:16contributions to the show. That is major value
- 52:18returns, needless to say. At noidshow .com, there
- 52:22are buttons to do all of this. There's a contact
- 52:24button at the bottom of the web page. There are
- 52:27also buttons for various forms of monetary value
- 52:30return, PayPal and Venmo and et cetera. There
- 52:33is also the option to just give us cash. in person,
- 52:38which one of our executive producers this week,
- 52:41Jack Kramer, did exactly that yesterday. He slapped
- 52:4520 bucks into my hand cash money. And he wrote
- 52:49in a note and said, I'm only a white Jack. So
- 52:54here's twenty dollars. So just in case you're
- 53:03not following, he's a white guy named Jack. And
- 53:04he shorted us a dollar on his blackjack donation.
- 53:08You know what? Yeah. Way to go, Jack. Thank you,
- 53:11Mr. Jack Kramer. I appreciate both the Schmeckles
- 53:15and the tacky humor. Here, and there's a final
- 53:19to add to the tackiness, a final sign off from
- 53:22Jack's note. He says, for Paul, in all capitals,
- 53:26but my roads. God bless you, Jack Kramer. I'll
- 53:35take you down there for 25 Schmeckles. 25 Schmeckles?
- 53:39I don't know how much. I don't know what that
- 53:41is. Is that a lot? This week's other executive
- 53:45producer is a 999 shiny schmeckle donation right
- 53:52shiny schmeckle from the crypt slapper of cordelaine
- 53:58and the crypt slapper says a Shiny schmeckle
- 54:03from the shadowed coffers of the crypt slapper
- 54:05to the no ID show It's a modest offering but
- 54:09may it keep your noble efforts shambling forward
- 54:12Spend it wisely Or unwisely, I approve either
- 54:16way. From the Crypt Slapper of C .D .A. There
- 54:20you go, the shiny shmeckle donation rearing its
- 54:23head once again. Much appreciated. Well, we definitely
- 54:29appreciate that, sir. Thank you very much. And
- 54:32while you may consider the offering humble, we
- 54:35very much appreciate it. And your puns were anything
- 54:38but humble. And I appreciate that as well. And
- 54:42to Paul's point, Value returned at least is whatever
- 54:46value means to you. And for the monetary stuff,
- 54:49you know, we do love numerology. We love the,
- 54:53you know, blackjack donation of 21 or the, you
- 54:56know, the row of ducks 2222, etc, etc, or whatever
- 54:59any numerology means to you. So value means lots
- 55:04of different things to lots of different people.
- 55:05So whatever you consider to be valuable for how
- 55:08much value you think you got out of our show.
- 55:11Only you can determine that. So please go to
- 55:12noidshow .com to become an executive producer
- 55:15or otherwise contribute value back to our program.
- 55:19And until before we do second half of show, what
- 55:21do you say we read Joy's note? Yeah, well, that's
- 55:25I think how we can kick off the second half of
- 55:28the show, because I definitely I promised her
- 55:30we'd take some time on it. OK, then I'll wrap
- 55:33the value for value segment and say. One more
- 55:36time. No ID show .com. Thank you very kindly
- 55:38to everyone who has contributed and in advance
- 55:41for those who plan on doing so. No ID show .com.
- 55:46No ID show .com. Yes, here we go. A second half
- 55:52of show and let's start with Joy. I was going
- 55:58to say maybe we don't use her full name. Well,
- 56:01usually. Alright, alright, fair enough. I will
- 56:04edit that part now. Like Joy B or JB or just
- 56:08Joy or something like that. Cause my thought
- 56:11is she did, you know, she shared some things
- 56:13with us and I don't know if she wants her name
- 56:15connected. Okay. That's fair. Maybe, maybe she
- 56:18doesn't care. I don't know. Okay. Well, now I
- 56:20assume you're going to edit this. I will. So
- 56:22I won't edit this whole thing. No, I want people
- 56:24to hear what we're saying, but I will edit out
- 56:25the last two. What you just heard was me. On
- 56:28the live show, I did say her last name, but I
- 56:30cut it out for this for this final product here.
- 56:32And so the reason that I had said it initially
- 56:35was usually I feel like if people don't want
- 56:38that, they should say it in their note. And we
- 56:41have gotten notes before that, you know, keep
- 56:43me anonymous. So because Joey didn't say that,
- 56:45that's why I said it. But that's fair. I'll err
- 56:47on the side of anonymity. But generally speaking,
- 56:50you know, I will use names unless you tell me
- 56:54not to going forward. Sure. We can just, why
- 56:57don't we just go with Joy? Okay, fine, fair enough.
- 57:00In any case, here's Joy. Joy says, Hi Scott and
- 57:02Paul, I'm currently on episode 11 as of 25 March.
- 57:07If this question is answered in the following
- 57:08episode, sorry, you've brought up Medicaid multiple
- 57:11times. While I agree with you, I'm faced with
- 57:14a different reality. My oldest is special needs.
- 57:17He's 23 and he has moderate to severe intellectual
- 57:20disability. Even though we were advised when
- 57:22he was two, we've never collected state or federal
- 57:25money in the form of Medicaid or SSI. We've put
- 57:28him through every therapy available. His last
- 57:31major service was Project Search from the Coeur
- 57:34d 'Alene School District. This is an internship
- 57:36program for high school graduates of the Living
- 57:39Skills program, and it runs for a full school
- 57:41year. He did get a part -time job out of it,
- 57:43but he was fired after only two months. He works
- 57:45for a friend of ours' moving company part -time,
- 57:48maybe one or two times a week. He lives at home
- 57:50and is under our health insurance. What would
- 57:52you suggest we do? I have started Medicaid insurance
- 57:56so far, and I am appealing a denial of SSI benefits.
- 57:59The best picture future for him to be independent
- 58:02is living at a group home with supervision, and
- 58:04if he works, have a job coach. We are not rich.
- 58:08We do not want to live on the system. But what
- 58:11do you do when you're an adult child who functions
- 58:12at the maturity of a 10 -year -old? I want to
- 58:16be fiscally intelligent, but I'm not seeing other
- 58:18options for him, especially when we pass and
- 58:21can no longer take care of him. Thanks, Joy."
- 58:24So first off, I thought that was really great
- 58:28of Joy to email this into us because she does
- 58:30bring up some good Conversation pieces and some
- 58:34good points. It's a very empathetic situation
- 58:37So first things first, I think it should be noted
- 58:42that and I don't know if I've done a good job
- 58:43of distinguishing it But the big beef as we've
- 58:47discussed Medicaid over the last few podcasts
- 58:49has been the Medicaid expansion that took place
- 58:53in Idaho about, I want to say, five years ago
- 58:55now. And that has been at the center of the legislative
- 59:00battles this year, and I think last year, because
- 59:04the expansion of Medicaid into whole new programs
- 59:08and hundreds of millions of dollars more is the
- 59:13primary issue. And the expansion of Medicaid
- 59:15came along with opening up the roles to a lot
- 59:18more people, most of whom the vast majority of
- 59:22whom are able bodied, able bodied people who
- 59:24can work. And that's the big beef coming from
- 59:27the conservatives or even the libertarian side.
- 59:29Now, I will admit that as an anarcho capitalist,
- 59:31I don't believe any of it should exist. And it
- 59:33sounds like joy would agree to in a perfect world
- 59:35that stuff doesn't exist or doesn't have to exist.
- 59:38And they don't want to be on it. But there is
- 59:41an important distinction that we've been specifically
- 59:44talking about. And that's Medicaid expansion.
- 59:46That's where it has allowed a lot of able bodied
- 59:48people. young and middle aged to just not work.
- 59:52And that is a massive issue. Now, in a perfect
- 59:56world, or if you could say in Paul's world, what
- 59:58would that look like? Well, in Paul's world,
- 1:00:00there were safety nets. It was the church. It
- 1:00:04was the community. And when I say community,
- 1:00:06I mean it in like the actual right way. You know,
- 1:00:10your neighbors, your family, that's why multi
- 1:00:12-generational setups were the norm for 10 ,000
- 1:00:16years. You know, you would raise your kids. they'd
- 1:00:19have kids, there'd be two, three, sometimes even
- 1:00:22four generations nearby on the same hundred acres,
- 1:00:25or even in the same house, or on the same homestead,
- 1:00:28or at least in the same town. And that was a
- 1:00:32big part of the support system as well. Which
- 1:00:35is also why in the last 100 years, there's been
- 1:00:37a massive, massive move, PSIOP almost is the
- 1:00:42right term, to destroy the multi -generational
- 1:00:44family, which they did by about the World War
- 1:00:47II era, they destroyed it. Then to destroy the
- 1:00:49nuclear family which they have managed to do
- 1:00:52by about the late 90s early 2000s before anybody
- 1:00:55even knew it had happened So now there's no family
- 1:00:58support structure and people our age. We're I'm
- 1:01:01a millennial Scots and millennial are having
- 1:01:03so few kids and We're so conditioned to then
- 1:01:07look to the state for our safety net, but that's
- 1:01:10not how it was supposed to be It was supposed
- 1:01:12to be multi -generational support buffer a blade
- 1:01:15or buffered or supplemented by your church community
- 1:01:18your neighborhood community, and then nonprofits
- 1:01:21and private organizations, et cetera, et cetera.
- 1:01:24All of that work together to form the safety
- 1:01:27nets for the people who truly, truly needed it.
- 1:01:30Cause you, we as individuals do a better job
- 1:01:33of charity. Just, just by sheer natural human
- 1:01:38instinct and human nature, we do a better job
- 1:01:40of charity individually because then I get the
- 1:01:42opportunity to assess the situation, assess what's
- 1:01:45going on and directly use my own money to the
- 1:01:49best effect to help somebody or my time or my
- 1:01:52resources or, you know, my goods, my services,
- 1:01:55what have you. It's a much more efficient way
- 1:01:57of doing it. It's a much more personal way of
- 1:01:59doing it. And it's having skin in the game. Whereas
- 1:02:01voting to create a program that's essentially
- 1:02:05a jobs program for administrators to then administer
- 1:02:09welfare where 40 cents on the dollar doesn't
- 1:02:13even get to where it's supposed to go, or 80
- 1:02:15cents on the dollar doesn't get where it's supposed
- 1:02:16to go, but it's a big Leviathan state apparatus
- 1:02:20that does it. Oh, and the fact that we don't
- 1:02:22get to choose where the help goes, we don't get
- 1:02:25to see how it works or if it works, auditing
- 1:02:28these things is a nightmare. The whole thing
- 1:02:31is a farce. But while it exists, Joy, you actually
- 1:02:37are the demographic, the demographic this is
- 1:02:41supposed to work for, and you're noticing it's
- 1:02:45not working for you, and you're being denied
- 1:02:48anyways. Meanwhile, there are plenty of able
- 1:02:50-bodied people who are on the system and bankrupting
- 1:02:55it. There are a lot of fixes that should be made
- 1:02:57to this, and cracks that should be sealed up,
- 1:03:02and anytime that's even attempted, we're literally
- 1:03:04killing people. by trying to tighten things up
- 1:03:07and be like, no, no, we're just supposed to be
- 1:03:09reserving the safety net for those who truly,
- 1:03:11truly need it. Literally. Literally. Yeah. So
- 1:03:16the TLDR, like to sum it up, basically, Joy,
- 1:03:20what are you supposed to do? What you're doing.
- 1:03:23You are who this is designed for. Given that
- 1:03:26we are in the reality we're in and we're not
- 1:03:28in Paul's utopia, even though maybe Paul and
- 1:03:30I wish we were. even the part where you are sort
- 1:03:34of wringing your hands about it and you're like,
- 1:03:36oh God, I really don't want to be doing this.
- 1:03:38That's exactly what we should be looking for
- 1:03:41in people being assisted by these programs. You
- 1:03:43would be the person, Joy, that I would say, even
- 1:03:46though I don't agree that this stuff exists,
- 1:03:48okay, it exists, you're the person we should
- 1:03:51be helping with it. Well, exactly. And it's the
- 1:03:54morbidly obese chick on the picnic bench. You
- 1:03:57know mad that she can't buy candy and soda for
- 1:04:00her mom or big not even mad confused or entitled
- 1:04:03or The last thing that that chick has ever or
- 1:04:06will ever do is look in a mirror and be like,
- 1:04:08oh man I really don't want to be on this stuff.
- 1:04:11Maybe I should get a job Hopefully then while
- 1:04:14what you guys are doing is trying to build a
- 1:04:17stable future for your son who has actual real
- 1:04:22-world impediments And you are trying to do your
- 1:04:25due diligence and be as responsible of parents
- 1:04:28as you can be. And there is a system there in
- 1:04:31place for such situations. That's precisely what
- 1:04:35it's there for. Now again, yeah, in my quote
- 1:04:37unquote utopia, it's not a utopia by the way.
- 1:04:40Anarchists don't believe in utopia, we know.
- 1:04:42we understand human nature better than anybody.
- 1:04:44That's why we hate the government. It's a stupid
- 1:04:46word. I take it back. Yeah. Nothing is like we
- 1:04:49were the first ones to tell you that human nature
- 1:04:51is immutable. Nothing is perfect. There is no
- 1:04:53perfect solution. There's only trade offs. There's
- 1:04:55only trade offs. So it's not a utopia, but I
- 1:04:58think we would find that if we were unshackled
- 1:05:00by the state in all of the different ways, the
- 1:05:02state crushes us. And it really does. And we
- 1:05:05can't even see even remotely close to the damage,
- 1:05:09the miles and miles and miles of damage that's
- 1:05:11done by the state. of things that just don't
- 1:05:13happen because of the state resources that aren't
- 1:05:16there. Money that hasn't been wealth that hasn't
- 1:05:18been created. But if the state got out of the
- 1:05:21way, we would live in a world where like wealth
- 1:05:24would be significantly increased across the board.
- 1:05:27Everybody would be free to do as they please
- 1:05:29with what they have. And there would be endless
- 1:05:31organizations, churches, individuals, people,
- 1:05:34businesses. And, you know, the family units would
- 1:05:37still be more cohesive and all of that would
- 1:05:38form a safety net. Perfect. Definitely not. effective
- 1:05:42when it works? Absolutely. And it would it would
- 1:05:45be there. Actually, as an example, if I may,
- 1:05:50I actually just got an email from our church.
- 1:05:53We go to Cabinet Mountain Calvary Chapel in Clark,
- 1:05:55just outside Clark Fork. Wonderful, wonderful
- 1:05:58church community in the actual sense of community.
- 1:06:02And they are very active in the community. One
- 1:06:05of the things we love about them, they're very
- 1:06:06active. Well, there's a family, the Leadbetters,
- 1:06:10and we know them personally. They're actually
- 1:06:11part of our of our homeschool co -op as well.
- 1:06:15So we attend church together, we're in the same
- 1:06:17homeschool co -op together, yada, yada, yada.
- 1:06:19Well, the matriarch of the family has had her
- 1:06:24cancer return and she's been battling it. And
- 1:06:27it's a six -figure bill and the insurance they
- 1:06:31have doesn't cover most of it. So they've been
- 1:06:34doing a fundraiser, an ongoing fundraiser, and
- 1:06:38over half of it has been raised already. And
- 1:06:41the church is blasting out Hey, you know, this
- 1:06:44is what's going on. We're trying to help, you
- 1:06:47know, with one of our own. What can we do? Everybody
- 1:06:50give us ideas, yada, yada, yada. And so they're
- 1:06:52actively involved in this. And then they just
- 1:06:54this today, no, excuse me, yesterday sent out
- 1:06:57an email saying, Hey, on top of what we're already
- 1:06:59all doing, the next 10 grand that comes in, we
- 1:07:02as a church will match out of our general fund.
- 1:07:06So if you were thinking about giving every tithe
- 1:07:10that has made this coming Sunday, Goes towards
- 1:07:13that match and then goes towards this family.
- 1:07:16So I Share that because that is exactly how my
- 1:07:20quote -unquote utopia. It works. I take it back
- 1:07:23like I take it back No, I'm never gonna let you
- 1:07:28live this one down you jackass. I'm gonna make
- 1:07:30you pay. Oh god in my utopia That's how this
- 1:07:33works. I would have never used it Like the way
- 1:07:37I use my life as an example, because we do live
- 1:07:40out here in what they would consider Bumfuck
- 1:07:42Nowhere, Clark Fork, a town of 500 people. And
- 1:07:44we're five miles north of that in a neighborhood
- 1:07:46of a hundred and, I don't know, it's 80 houses,
- 1:07:49I think, you know, the cops are an hour away.
- 1:07:52The ambulance is an hour away. We have to take
- 1:07:56care of our own roads, the roads. Well, we take
- 1:07:58care of it. It's a couple hundred bucks a year.
- 1:08:01Like we all go, most of us go to church. Most
- 1:08:04of us know each other. We do what you're supposed
- 1:08:07to do. Now, I'm not saying, Joy, what you're
- 1:08:09supposed to do. I'm saying just in general, what
- 1:08:11humanity was designed to do. And I give that
- 1:08:15as an example because I'm not, when I talk about
- 1:08:17what I talk about and the way I envision the
- 1:08:20world, it was this way. For a long time and it
- 1:08:24could be this way again like I don't pull these
- 1:08:26concepts and ideas out of my ass and just be
- 1:08:28like Well, if there was no government life would
- 1:08:31be perfect and I have no basis for that reasoning
- 1:08:33at all. No instead I'm actually like look look
- 1:08:35I'm living it I'm we're as close to it as you
- 1:08:38can get in America out here we have to take care
- 1:08:41of each other and ourselves and And we do for
- 1:08:44the most part perfect. No but free liberty Yeah,
- 1:08:51man, we got it. And because we are free and we
- 1:08:54mind our own business and we take care of ourselves,
- 1:08:57we are also then freed up and have the time and
- 1:08:59the resources and the mental space to also help
- 1:09:02others when they are in need. And we know them
- 1:09:05and we know how to help them best. So I'm really
- 1:09:09proud of my church for doing this. And we're,
- 1:09:12you know, obviously Mary and I are planning to
- 1:09:14be a part of this fundraiser and because we know
- 1:09:16the family and they're good people. And I know
- 1:09:18I'm the color commentary on here, but I mean
- 1:09:20it. I believe it. It's genuine. I live it. I
- 1:09:24do it. Mary and I, my wife, have made a lot of
- 1:09:26sacrifices to do what we do and live the way
- 1:09:28we've lived. And we mean it. So anyways, that's
- 1:09:32important. Enjoy. You guys are in a tough spot.
- 1:09:34You are who the system is supposed to help. And
- 1:09:37the system as designed, like it's revolving around.
- 1:09:41state and state apparatuses inevitably metastasizes
- 1:09:44into what it is now, where people like you who
- 1:09:47are supposed to be helping are getting denied,
- 1:09:48and then the fat chick on the bench is buying
- 1:09:51rainbow sprinkles with your money. That's where
- 1:09:54the opposition to state apparatuses emanates
- 1:09:57from. Whereas what Paul described, it doesn't
- 1:10:00metastasize in the same way. It can't. It's a
- 1:10:06mission creep thing. These programs, when they
- 1:10:09first were created, were designed for exactly
- 1:10:11your case. But fast forward 50 years and now
- 1:10:14they are something completely different. They're
- 1:10:16a Godzilla. They're out of the right out of and
- 1:10:18it has it has to the vast majority of people
- 1:10:20who are on them are true blue because I use this
- 1:10:23term and it's a harsh term, but it is true. They
- 1:10:25are true blue parasites. They are people who
- 1:10:27could be productive, but they are not. And it
- 1:10:30has to go that way. It can only go that way when
- 1:10:33it's the state. Correct. And that's also again
- 1:10:37why private charity is is superior in every way.
- 1:10:41Because if I were to look at Joyce case I go
- 1:10:43yeah, this is a legit thing, you know, we're
- 1:10:46like, okay church Let's gather let's gather around
- 1:10:48this person and and this family and love on them
- 1:10:51in different ways Whether that's money whether
- 1:10:54that's meal train whether that's yada yada yada
- 1:10:56Or your community or your multi -generational
- 1:10:59family or whatnot. That's how you do it And and
- 1:11:02then you receive the direct benefit we who and
- 1:11:06those of us who are helping we receive the direct
- 1:11:09benefit of having our own skin in the game, not
- 1:11:13just pointing a gun at our neighbor and telling
- 1:11:17our neighbor they need to pay up because that's
- 1:11:19what the state does. That's what government programs
- 1:11:22are. But again, they're going to exist. That's
- 1:11:27exactly what this system is for. And ironically,
- 1:11:29poor joy in them. They're being denied. Meanwhile,
- 1:11:32the overweight folks who are on snap and complaining
- 1:11:35about not being able to get their treats. Don't
- 1:11:37seem to be having any issues getting their benefits.
- 1:11:40I mean there it is in a nutshell that there it
- 1:11:42is government in a nutshell Thank you, Joy for
- 1:11:46the note. Yeah. Thank you very much. I appreciate
- 1:11:49you writing into us Let's move along here. You
- 1:11:54got something right now Yeah, we moved we moved
- 1:11:58into this right after the break, but we we did
- 1:12:00it We did our thing out of order again, and that's
- 1:12:02okay because I do have something for you Scott
- 1:12:06Oh, yeah, you know what time it is get out of
- 1:12:08my chair here. Yep. All right do some push -ups.
- 1:12:12Oh Yeah, do some lunges I'll take you up just
- 1:12:17like a coach should Don't want you to pull a
- 1:12:23hammy definitely don't want you to rupture an
- 1:12:25Achilles All right, it's time for Scott shots
- 1:12:34send it all right Scott I went in a different
- 1:12:38direction this week. Did you know that hit and
- 1:12:46run car crashes are on the rise nationwide according
- 1:12:50to data from the AAA foundation for traffic safety?
- 1:12:55Locally, they are also on the rise. On a national
- 1:13:00level, 15 % of all crashes reported to the police.
- 1:13:05Now that's an important distinction, but it's
- 1:13:07what we got to work with. 15 % of all crashes
- 1:13:10reported to police involve a driver who allegedly
- 1:13:13fled the scene. Interestingly enough, hit and
- 1:13:16run crashes accounted for 7 % of all crash deaths
- 1:13:20and 25 % of all pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.
- 1:13:28Now, what do you think the percentages are for
- 1:13:33hit and run crashes in the Coeur d 'Alene area?
- 1:13:39Okay, so this is not COVID related. To some clear?
- 1:13:42No, not at all. I told you I went a different
- 1:13:44direction. OK, well, I just wanted to clarify
- 1:13:45it because I didn't know if there's a reason
- 1:13:47why. But I have a I have a main point. I'm driving
- 1:13:50home, but we'll get there in a minute. OK, answer
- 1:13:52my question. I will. I just want I was at first
- 1:13:55my brain was like, oh, they're going to say that
- 1:13:57like a lot of drivers have long covid. And so
- 1:13:59they're like in a in a brain fog. They're like
- 1:14:02leaving the scene like I was like, how are they
- 1:14:03tying this into covid? It's not. That would be
- 1:14:06funny, though. No, actually. So it turns out
- 1:14:08that 50 percent. of all of the fatalities were
- 1:14:11hit and run COVID deaths. Right. So the question
- 1:14:15is, in North Idaho, what percentage of vehicular
- 1:14:20accidents are hit and run? Is that the question?
- 1:14:23So the national average is 15 % since 2023. OK.
- 1:14:29What is the average locally? Oh, it's 15 % nationally
- 1:14:34in Coeur d 'Alene. I'm going to guess it's noticeably
- 1:14:39higher. And I'm going to say it's like 24%. You
- 1:14:45monster. You absolute monster. How on God's green
- 1:14:49earth. I, that is, you are the champion, sir.
- 1:14:56I, uh, I'm a little mad. I get it on the nose.
- 1:15:01On the nose. You son of a bitch. Why are you
- 1:15:06the way that you are Or maybe this one's better
- 1:15:10for you That was a blind yes, how the how in
- 1:15:15the hell did you All right. Yeah, here you go.
- 1:15:18All the covid stuff. I just I just know but this
- 1:15:21one was a was a guess I mean, okay, it had to
- 1:15:24be noticeably higher or noticeably lower For
- 1:15:28this to be like notable, you know, and so I went
- 1:15:30with I just want honestly I don't even know why
- 1:15:32I even try Okay. Elaborate. Maybe I need to have
- 1:15:38a diversity hire on my board of judges and that'll
- 1:15:41change everything. You did say the words and
- 1:15:46they were spot on. Damn you, Scott. Well done.
- 1:15:48Like I'm, I'm equal parts impressed and irritated.
- 1:15:53I was so excited about this, dude. I even like
- 1:15:56went away from the COVID topic just cause I thought
- 1:15:58this will be fun. A little curve ball that throws
- 1:16:00away. Yeah, yeah, of the crashes reported to
- 1:16:05police. So I do find that interesting real quick,
- 1:16:08by the way, that in both cases, national and
- 1:16:10local, the caveat here or the qualifier, I should
- 1:16:13say, is crashes reported to police, which means
- 1:16:17there's a whole lot of crashes out there. And
- 1:16:19we know there's plenty of crashes out there that
- 1:16:21are not reported to police for one reason or
- 1:16:23another. You know, people drive with their license
- 1:16:24suspended or if they don't have insurance or
- 1:16:26if they are able to hit and run and somebody
- 1:16:28is like, oh, it's just a scratch. I'll fuck with
- 1:16:30it later. I'd be curious to know what the percent,
- 1:16:34I mean, how do you even quantify that? Like if
- 1:16:36you don't know, cause it's not reported to police,
- 1:16:37you just don't even know. I'd be curious to know
- 1:16:40if somebody's been able to take a whack at those
- 1:16:43numbers. But anyways, I digress. Of the crashes
- 1:16:46reported to police within the city of Coeur d
- 1:16:48'Alene, roughly 20 to 24%, 24%, you just hit
- 1:16:54it right on the damn nose, were hit and run crashes
- 1:16:56according to city data. Since 2022, Hit and runs
- 1:17:01accounted for 27 to 30 percent of those crashes
- 1:17:05So then so they've actually increased as time
- 1:17:07has increased now the reason why I thought this
- 1:17:10was particularly funny and Relevant to you is
- 1:17:13because I have a theory on this. Would you like
- 1:17:15to hear it? No, that's it for today's show. No
- 1:17:18ID. Thank you very much for tuning. Yeah, go
- 1:17:20right ahead. I Do love a good cliffhanger right
- 1:17:26after this week -long break we'll be back with
- 1:17:28Paul's answer Sponsored by Pfizer. Brought to
- 1:17:33you by Pfizer. I'm on the edge of my seat here,
- 1:17:39dude. Come on. I think it's because of all the
- 1:17:42Californians who moved here since COVID. There
- 1:17:48it is. Dude, there is absolutely a correlation.
- 1:17:51There is absolutely a correlation between between
- 1:17:55the increase. There has to be between the hit
- 1:17:58and runs, the increase, the wide increase of
- 1:18:01the hit and runs and the fact that since 2020,
- 1:18:05Idaho is basically Northern California. It's
- 1:18:11undeniable. So basically, we good Idahoans, sir,
- 1:18:16we don't do that. Right, right. It's just it's
- 1:18:19the it's the sociopathic narcissistic Californian
- 1:18:22to where other people don't truly exist, who
- 1:18:25can just peel out after running someone over.
- 1:18:28It's those boomers who show up and their giant
- 1:18:31ass Oldsmobile Cadillacs don't even notice a
- 1:18:34million pounds. and crush my Subaru by just,
- 1:18:38you know, driving five miles an hour. And it
- 1:18:40just munches up my Subaru and they don't have
- 1:18:43a scratch on them or their car. And they're like,
- 1:18:45Oh, did I, did I hit you on just a fender bender?
- 1:18:48And it's like, yeah, but now my entire engine
- 1:18:50block is pushed in four inches. Thanks. Now here's
- 1:18:54where it gets a little less interesting. Sorry.
- 1:18:57Go ahead. Sorry. It follows up with this. I thought
- 1:19:01this was interesting. It says about 50%. And
- 1:19:03I'm quoting a temporary police chief, Dave Hagar
- 1:19:06here. About 50 % of our hit and run accidents
- 1:19:10are actually due to the fact that the driver
- 1:19:12was unaware they hit the other vehicle. Oh, right.
- 1:19:15And we are able to clear those with facilitating
- 1:19:18an information exchange. Boomers and automobiles.
- 1:19:25One day, Michael came in complaining about a
- 1:19:26speed bump on the highway. I wonder who he ran
- 1:19:31over then. No, he just didn't know, you know?
- 1:19:39Yeah, interesting theory. You're probably right.
- 1:19:44All right, let's do a few more here. The same
- 1:19:47confidence as the No Kings protesters. Dunning
- 1:19:51-Kruger at work again. Well, tying in with Joy's
- 1:19:55note, you know, state funding of things they
- 1:19:58should, they shouldn't. Here is they're calling
- 1:20:02it high needs education, which is does that is
- 1:20:04that a familiar term to you? High needs education
- 1:20:07or is that new? No, I thought all education was
- 1:20:11high needs. I mean, to some extent it is, but
- 1:20:15here we go. Educating students with high needs
- 1:20:17can cost districts tens of thousands of dollars,
- 1:20:20sometimes more for smaller and rural schools
- 1:20:23that can mean some tough choices. Idaho lawmakers
- 1:20:26passed a bill to help cover those costs, but
- 1:20:28not everybody is on board for Julie Whitman.
- 1:20:31Her daughter has been a living testament to why
- 1:20:34public education is so important for students
- 1:20:37with special needs. Not only is it critical for
- 1:20:39my daughter to attend school and get her education
- 1:20:44as well as the other services that she needs
- 1:20:47their speech OT, but I think just her being in
- 1:20:50the classroom gives those other students. something
- 1:20:54that's really hard to teach. But there's one
- 1:20:57problem. The cost to educate some high need students
- 1:21:00is too much for school districts, especially
- 1:21:03rural districts. They can, you know, upwards
- 1:21:06of $100 ,000 in some cases. And so and especially
- 1:21:10in those tiny districts or a charter school that
- 1:21:13can wipe out an entire entire year's budget.
- 1:21:16Senate Bill 1288 looks to help setting aside
- 1:21:19$5 million to support districts facing those
- 1:21:22high costs. The school districts absorb this.
- 1:21:25If you're a rural small district or a charter,
- 1:21:29you really don't have the. We're for all to take
- 1:21:34it out your money from the other students. I
- 1:21:36think you might be hiding it. I Know that was
- 1:21:39a goal on that. I think I know like let's loop
- 1:21:42it Sorry, where for myself take a bunch of money
- 1:21:52from the other students? If a student exceeds
- 1:21:55$30 ,000 to teach, districts will be able to
- 1:21:58pull from the $5 million state fund for this
- 1:22:01coming year. That is so much money per student.
- 1:22:05Well, and they never really quite specify what
- 1:22:08it is that costs so much money. And this could
- 1:22:10just be like I could just be ignorant. I don't
- 1:22:13really know. Is it just more hours? I guess specialists.
- 1:22:16It's specialists. It's the specialists. It's
- 1:22:20payroll. It's administrator, staff, faculty,
- 1:22:22administration. It's all of that combined into
- 1:22:25this one giant expensive package. But specialists
- 1:22:29in particular are not cheap. And then the administrative
- 1:22:32costs, because everybody has to dot every I,
- 1:22:34cross every T, make sure everybody is protected
- 1:22:37in every shape, shape, you know, way, shape and
- 1:22:39form for liability. That is also expensive. You
- 1:22:43probably have insurance policies, your insurance
- 1:22:45policies already. pretty high when you're dealing
- 1:22:47with education or people's kids to begin with,
- 1:22:50that's going to go up astronomically when dealing
- 1:22:53with quote unquote high needs children. But specialists
- 1:22:58are going to be the bulk of it because somebody
- 1:23:01who has six years and a masters in how to properly
- 1:23:08chew your food, for example, or speech therapy,
- 1:23:11for example, or things like that, they're commanding
- 1:23:14very high salaries. people with high needs children
- 1:23:19have the opportunity to be taught by professionals
- 1:23:23on how to help their child achieve their potential.
- 1:23:27and live the best life possible. Is that our
- 1:23:30guy? That's Guthrie, isn't it? I've seen people
- 1:23:32in every way, shape, or form all over the world
- 1:23:34going to the bathroom. That's definitely handy.
- 1:23:36To be tied by professionals. Oh, handy. Yes.
- 1:23:38Districts also can turn to federal funding through
- 1:23:41the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
- 1:23:43But Melissa Vion with Idaho Parents Unlimited
- 1:23:46says it often falls short of covering the full
- 1:23:48cost of services. We see this particularly important
- 1:23:53when we have families with multiple students
- 1:23:55that have The same disabilities within the family
- 1:23:58in a smaller district. This that can just completely
- 1:24:02immobilize a district. The bill passed the House
- 1:24:05and Senate floor, but not without some pushback
- 1:24:08from lawmakers. Some of the money to go to the
- 1:24:10high needs fund was taken from the drivers education
- 1:24:13fund. That's a move lawmakers disagreed with.
- 1:24:16Are we going to just completely gut an entire
- 1:24:19program that everybody in the state is using?
- 1:24:21for one small group of people, or are we going
- 1:24:24to do the responsible thing and just not let
- 1:24:27this happen this year? I mean, it can make a
- 1:24:29pretty good argument that the state running any
- 1:24:32sort of driver's education program would be a
- 1:24:34great example of something that could be eliminated
- 1:24:36entirely. Driving education programs do not teach
- 1:24:39you how to drive. I mean, judging by how people
- 1:24:44drive on the road, I think we know the track
- 1:24:46record of such programs. Well, and you use the
- 1:24:51words track record. Truly, the only way to really
- 1:24:54learn how to drive is racing school, and specifically
- 1:24:59driver's ed. You do not come out of driver's
- 1:25:03ed knowing how to drive an automobile. But for
- 1:25:05parents fighting for their child's education,
- 1:25:07it's about more than dollars and budgets. Families
- 1:25:10don't want to get caught. Well, they're not the
- 1:25:12ones putting the bill. Sure, that's easy to say.
- 1:25:15It's not about the money. It's always about the
- 1:25:18money. especially when it comes to education
- 1:25:20or law enforcement or fire. Those three things
- 1:25:24always, they always ask for more. There's always
- 1:25:26a levy. There's always a bond. There's always
- 1:25:27more taxes. Their budgets always get bigger.
- 1:25:29And the moment anybody actually brings up like,
- 1:25:31Hey, like how much do you need? Does it ever
- 1:25:33end? And they go, well, it's not about the money.
- 1:25:34It's about the children or it's about safety.
- 1:25:37I mean, the moment they use words, children and
- 1:25:40safety, grab your wallet. They want more. don't
- 1:25:51want to get caught up in all of that funding,
- 1:25:53right? Right, right. And they want the supports
- 1:25:56that students deserve for them. Passing this
- 1:25:59bill could make all the difference, right? The
- 1:26:02impact that these students with really high needs
- 1:26:04have on the other students in the classroom in
- 1:26:07a really positive way because they install instill
- 1:26:12a sense of compassion and acceptance and understanding
- 1:26:16about kids that are different than themselves.
- 1:26:19Right? Right. Okay. So then of course the other
- 1:26:22argument is socialization. Well, they need to
- 1:26:24be socialized. So it's worth a hundred K a year
- 1:26:28Here, you know what helps solve? At least a portion
- 1:26:32of this issue hidden vouchers. Oh ESA's hit and
- 1:26:38run Sorry, I was wrong hands on the context Actually,
- 1:26:44the hit and runs might be why we have more high
- 1:26:48need students Scott Give myself a bell. I considered
- 1:26:58it. My hand hovered over my bell, but then I
- 1:27:00was like, don't worry, Scott. I'll congratulate
- 1:27:03me for you. Yeah. Okay. Paul is going to attend
- 1:27:07and patting himself on the back of my Achilles.
- 1:27:11My other one. You could, you could say that self
- 1:27:16-congratulation is an Achilles heel of mine.
- 1:27:20Oh, that was terrible. I'm sorry. Edit that,
- 1:27:22edit that shit out. I will not. So serious thoughts
- 1:27:27for a minute. There, there is a market. for,
- 1:27:30again, the answer is the free market. Now that
- 1:27:34won't happen overnight. It can't happen overnight.
- 1:27:37The way the system is built, there's a lot of
- 1:27:39earth moving that needs to be. But if we could
- 1:27:42do it overnight and scrap huge sections or all
- 1:27:45of state -run education, I guarantee you that
- 1:27:47almost overnight, there would be foundations,
- 1:27:51organizations, businesses that would fill the
- 1:27:54need here. There are professionals out there
- 1:27:56who know what they're doing. There are administrators
- 1:27:58with experience. specialists who have trained
- 1:28:02their whole lives to to be able to help high
- 1:28:06needs kids and their parents and I need the parents
- 1:28:10and their kids and they would fill the need there
- 1:28:15there there would in a free market it would definitely
- 1:28:17be there now there would be expense to it but
- 1:28:20before we get to the again Paul's utopia While
- 1:28:24we're in the middle of getting from here to there
- 1:28:26on show vouchers show title Yep, it's got to
- 1:28:31be Paul's you tell me now. I might even give
- 1:28:33you some show art for it. Ooh You know what if
- 1:28:36I'm gonna contribute if I'm gonna contribute
- 1:28:38monetary value you have to contribute time and
- 1:28:40talent value show art Yeah, you know what? I
- 1:28:43think that I think that really tracks because
- 1:28:45as a Jew for you contributing money to your own
- 1:28:48show is like Gonna be the hardest thing ever.
- 1:28:50It's hilarious. And for me a non -artistic Italian,
- 1:28:54it's going to be a challenge. So we are challenging
- 1:28:57ourselves in very unique and personal ways. Love
- 1:29:00it. So go on. We would actually get closer to
- 1:29:05this resolution, though, with vouchers and ESAs
- 1:29:07and being able to have school choice. Tax credits
- 1:29:11are a good start. Unfortunately, you know, that
- 1:29:13tax, the HB 93, it's a good start, but it's got
- 1:29:16a long ways to go. If you could just divert all
- 1:29:20of the money that goes towards the least efficient
- 1:29:24way of schooling our kids, which is the system
- 1:29:26we have right now, where we throw billions every
- 1:29:29year at the industrial educational complex, and
- 1:29:32I use the term education very loosely, obviously.
- 1:29:34The state -run indoctrination camps really is
- 1:29:36what they are. They look like prisons, they operate
- 1:29:38like prisons, and they produce MPCs just like
- 1:29:41prisons. And call it socialization, I might add.
- 1:29:44But if parents were free, to keep their own money
- 1:29:49first off, not have it stolen in the first place.
- 1:29:52And then B, have access to educational savings
- 1:29:55accounts, vouchers. Well, now you can pick and
- 1:30:00choose where you send your kids. And now the
- 1:30:02opportunity to send them to different places
- 1:30:03crops up because there is a market need for it.
- 1:30:06There's an incentive. So I go, oh, OK, there's
- 1:30:08a community here with high need students. And
- 1:30:12each of them have 20 grand at their disposal
- 1:30:15between their own funds between ESA's between
- 1:30:18vouchers between whatever Okay, we're here for
- 1:30:21this. We can help you guys Well, you know and
- 1:30:24everybody makes money, but we also serve a need
- 1:30:26Which is exactly how free market capitalism works.
- 1:30:29Everybody likes to shit on it. But you know,
- 1:30:31I like having a phone I like having internet
- 1:30:34I don't care if I'm giving my money to a billionaire
- 1:30:38that billionaire put satellites in the sky and
- 1:30:40allowed me to have internet in Clark fork So
- 1:30:43if that same billionaire is like, you know what?
- 1:30:46Charter academies for high need students. There's
- 1:30:49an incentive now. Hell yeah, let's do it. You
- 1:30:52know, people are amazing. The market finds a
- 1:30:55way. It's not a perfect solution. It's not a
- 1:30:58panacea. There is no such thing as either of
- 1:31:00those, but that would be the direction we ought
- 1:31:02to go instead of ripping money from other stuff.
- 1:31:05However, I will say if we were ripping money
- 1:31:06from other programs, the driver's ed is kind
- 1:31:09of funny. Like did they throw darts at a board
- 1:31:12or did they play Like budget bingo. Oh budget
- 1:31:15bingo, right? That's another good show. That's
- 1:31:18gotta be a that's gotta be Not for this one though,
- 1:31:20because we don't talk about the budget that much
- 1:31:22I gotta say that one for a different but then
- 1:31:24there you go budget bingo with a bingo card But
- 1:31:27dude, it's like they play budget bingo or through
- 1:31:29darts for this one where they just were like
- 1:31:31well What what can we cut that half the state
- 1:31:34won't yell at us for and finally somebody said
- 1:31:36what about driver's ed? It's a very narrow demographic.
- 1:31:39It's 14 and 15 year olds and they don't vote
- 1:31:44I don't know. I was just thinking when you were
- 1:31:47saying like, oh, the, the, you know, socialization
- 1:31:50is like a very stated goal. Very important. Like
- 1:31:54S O C I A L I S M delete, delete, delete is Asian.
- 1:32:02I'll tell you what, when, um, as a homeschooler
- 1:32:04family and most of our, most of our family and
- 1:32:08our friends are also homeschoolers. And it's
- 1:32:11just the moment somebody talks about socialization,
- 1:32:13my eyes roll into the back of my head and I just
- 1:32:14go, tell me you don't know anything about education,
- 1:32:17either system, the state run indoctrination camps
- 1:32:20or homeschooling. Because if I wanted to replicate
- 1:32:23socialization for my kids that they're going
- 1:32:25to get at state run indoctrination camps, well
- 1:32:27then I'll just buy a set of lockers, shove my
- 1:32:30son into one of them, make a mess of the other
- 1:32:32one, steal some shit from my daughter's locker,
- 1:32:35tease them, bully them, make fun of them for
- 1:32:37what they wear. call my son four eyes, tell my
- 1:32:41daughter she's stupid for wanting to be an author,
- 1:32:43give them busy work and homework that has no
- 1:32:46bearing on life whatsoever, make sure they can't
- 1:32:49leave the house for eight hours, but they do
- 1:32:51to get two recesses and a shitty lunch. Also
- 1:32:54force them to interact with nobody older or younger
- 1:32:57than them by three years, because that's how
- 1:32:58life works. Yeah, only surrounded by peers of
- 1:33:02your exact age. Also, you should consider giving
- 1:33:04your daughter a pack of parliament lights to
- 1:33:06go smoke in the bathroom. Yeah, well, we did
- 1:33:10put up the the Narcan box In the hallway. So
- 1:33:14just in case one of our students OD's We can
- 1:33:18take care of that. You can also consider replacing
- 1:33:21your Gadsden flag in your living room with a
- 1:33:24Trans Mammoth's flag. Oh Yeah, we did it already
- 1:33:27and every morning our kids have to pledge allegiance
- 1:33:31to everything Well, guess who is pledging allegiance
- 1:33:38to a new sheriff. Sean Weir is officially the
- 1:33:41new Shoshone County Sheriff. He was sworn in
- 1:33:43yesterday. This is the county's third sheriff
- 1:33:45since October, since Holly Lindsay and William
- 1:33:48Eddy both resigned. Our partners with the Coeur
- 1:33:51d 'Alene Press... By the way, speaking of contributing
- 1:33:53to the hit -and -run statistics, add a girl,
- 1:33:55Holly Lindsay. ...and William Eddy both resigned.
- 1:33:58Our partners with the Coeur d 'Alene Press...
- 1:34:00Say where we'll prioritize the department's budget,
- 1:34:03retaining staff, recruiting and rectifying the
- 1:34:06county jail where we'll serve in his new role
- 1:34:09and until at least coming up in January. Yeah,
- 1:34:12rumor has it that Holly Lindsay has long covid
- 1:34:15and she fled the scene in a brain fog. So it
- 1:34:18wasn't really her fault. What happened is her
- 1:34:21mask slipped off while she was alone driving
- 1:34:24and it fell. And so she was trying to grab it.
- 1:34:28and before she could look up and see what was
- 1:34:30going on, she hit some stuff and then was like,
- 1:34:33oh no, if I check on this, I might also get COVID.
- 1:34:37And so she put her mask on and drove away. If
- 1:34:38she had just been wearing two masks like they
- 1:34:40told her, it wouldn't have been such a problem.
- 1:34:42She could have waited till her destination to
- 1:34:44fish the other one out of her floorboards. For
- 1:34:48anybody who is counting, Shoshone County sheriffs
- 1:34:54have had an average lifespan of two months. Yikes.
- 1:34:58Three sheriffs in six months. Mr. Weir has his
- 1:35:01work cut out for him. I wonder who was he? Did
- 1:35:05it say? I apologize. I wasn't listening as good
- 1:35:07as maybe I should have. Was he appointed? Because
- 1:35:10a sheriff is a, it is an electable position,
- 1:35:12at least it's supposed to be. So I'm curious
- 1:35:15to know if it was a special election or if they
- 1:35:18appointed him. Sean Weir is officially the new
- 1:35:20Shoshone County Sheriff. He was sworn in yesterday.
- 1:35:23It doesn't say. Yeah. You know what? Let's look
- 1:35:24it up. No, it did. Okay. I didn't think it said.
- 1:35:27So if he was appointed, then that I think would
- 1:35:32have been Shoshone County commissioners who would
- 1:35:34have done that. Selected for the appointment
- 1:35:39by the Shoshone County board of commissioners
- 1:35:41after a series of interviews. So that's how that
- 1:35:44went. So then it's essentially, it's an interim
- 1:35:46position that he will hold for eight months unless
- 1:35:50there's another shooting. Or hit and run. Or
- 1:35:54somebody gets lost in the woods this October.
- 1:35:58Yeah, maybe we should get a no ID betting pool
- 1:36:01going on how long he'll last Dude, I'm in oh
- 1:36:06Wait, well if we were in Washington, I'm in we
- 1:36:09can't no gambling no gambling no gambling Maybe
- 1:36:12if we petition to the state of Idaho to do to
- 1:36:15do Shoshone Sheriff themed scratch tickets Then
- 1:36:18it'd be allowable. Yes, not only allowable the
- 1:36:21state would use our money to actively market
- 1:36:23it to us Hey degenerate, do you need? More degeneracy
- 1:36:29in your life? Well, yeah, I sure do like poker.
- 1:36:32No, no, no, not like that. No, please. Let's
- 1:36:37see. Let's do, uh, I'm sick of the kratom. No
- 1:36:40trans. No, I'm sick of all this stuff. Uh, what's
- 1:36:43the final we should do here? You know what else
- 1:36:46we have? The article essentially about the town
- 1:36:48hall and standpoint. Oh, okay. Yeah. Education.
- 1:36:53So why don't you take the lead here? Because
- 1:36:54this was from the Coeur d 'Alene Press, and you
- 1:36:57had had a couple of comments about their coverage
- 1:36:59of this very special appearance by one of the
- 1:37:03important people that you just mentioned, Debbie
- 1:37:04Critchfield. So three of our glorious Supreme
- 1:37:09Chalupa leader leader leaders graced Sandpoint
- 1:37:12this last Saturday with their presence. Representative
- 1:37:16Mark Souter, who is Legislative District 1 CA.
- 1:37:21Senator Jim Woodward, who is our single senator
- 1:37:24that we get from legislative district one, and
- 1:37:28Debbie Critchfield, who is the state superintendent
- 1:37:30of public, now they're calling it public instruction,
- 1:37:33by the way, not public education. I don't know
- 1:37:36when that change happened, but that's the title
- 1:37:37she's been getting now. So supreme leader of
- 1:37:40instruction, Debbie Critchfield. Yes, and if
- 1:37:43you recall, as the supreme leader, it's been
- 1:37:46a few shows now, but we covered her receiving
- 1:37:49the giant cardboard check from some other government
- 1:37:52apparatus from a few years ago while she, unmasked
- 1:37:57in her red business suit, was surrounded by a
- 1:38:00bunch of teenagers, every single one of whom
- 1:38:02was in a black face mask. That very same Debbie
- 1:38:06Critchfield, ghoul. Yes. Yeah, a picture is worth
- 1:38:10a thousand words that or more and that one was
- 1:38:12just a state in a nutshell She was in a bright
- 1:38:15red pantsuit looking splendid. Her hair was perfect.
- 1:38:18No mask There she is in all her glory and behind
- 1:38:22her are rows of high school students dressed
- 1:38:24in complete black With masks on black masks as
- 1:38:28they are singing Some sort of event. It wasn't
- 1:38:32the national anthem or the state anthem. It was
- 1:38:34some, you know, some sort of freedom freedom
- 1:38:37song Probably that yeah It was a little muffled
- 1:38:42because they were singing through their face
- 1:38:44masks, but uh, you know, I could make out the
- 1:38:46words. Yeah So they were carted off to the Google
- 1:38:49logs later for a failure to enunciate the national
- 1:38:52anthem Anyways that that that very so Chris field
- 1:38:56is running for reelection. Yeah, she's running
- 1:38:58for reelection Of course, so is Mark Souter and
- 1:39:01Jim Woodward now, of course Notably absent was
- 1:39:05the one good legislator that we do have from
- 1:39:07District one that seat be and that's Cornell
- 1:39:09razor. He's the he actually is a conservative.
- 1:39:11I don't agree. As usual, I don't agree with I
- 1:39:14agree with probably half. But, you know, half
- 1:39:17piss versus 70 percent piss, you know, that Mark
- 1:39:19Souter, Debbie Critchfield, Jim Woodward, that's
- 1:39:21like they're like 95 percent piss. So half with
- 1:39:25Cornell razor, I'll go with. But he was, of course,
- 1:39:28not there and not invited. He was not invited.
- 1:39:31He didn't get he was so wild, dude. First off,
- 1:39:34you have a town hall with your district's legislators
- 1:39:37and one of the three are not invited. And it
- 1:39:40just so happens he's the lone conservative of
- 1:39:43the group, by the way. The town hall played out
- 1:39:46exactly how you would expect. There were about
- 1:39:48130 people there and 125 of them were angry leftist
- 1:39:53boomers. I mean, and even in the picture, it's
- 1:39:56so perfect because they look angry. They're angry
- 1:39:59leftist boomers at this town hall. And of course,
- 1:40:03the topic du jour is education. And these angry
- 1:40:07leftist boomers are big mad that we aren't throwing,
- 1:40:10that we're only throwing four billion at state
- 1:40:13run indoctrination camps instead of five billion
- 1:40:16at state indoctrination camps. Guess what would
- 1:40:18happen if we were throwing five billion at it?
- 1:40:22They'd ask for six. Did I win the S -ball? Did
- 1:40:25I win that one? Yes. Yes. The, uh, the North
- 1:40:28Idaho NAACP judge is nodding feverishly. Oh,
- 1:40:32thank God. I'm one for three so far, which a
- 1:40:35one for three today. So if I was a professional
- 1:40:37baseball player, I'd be in Hall of Fame. Hall
- 1:40:40of Fame, baby. All right, go on. So, uh, the
- 1:40:44budget comes up and it's all about my schools
- 1:40:46and blah, blah, blah. And so why I sent this
- 1:40:48article was for two reasons. A, this town hall
- 1:40:50played out exactly how you would expect in Sandpoint,
- 1:40:52which is just a leftist Mecca full of angry leftist
- 1:40:54boomer idiots. And so it was just like, it was
- 1:40:57a parody of itself. These people are caricatures
- 1:41:00of themselves and they don't even realize it.
- 1:41:02And then number two was the way Souter, Critchfield
- 1:41:07and Woodward phrased everything. And then the
- 1:41:09media was complicit in it. So they're asked like,
- 1:41:12okay, well by these They're up there talking
- 1:41:14in the town and the regular people are asking
- 1:41:17them questions about budget and Critchfield says,
- 1:41:20yeah, so our budget hasn't changed. And, you
- 1:41:23know, wink, wink. That's a win for us this year.
- 1:41:25I know it doesn't sound like a win, but because
- 1:41:29of who's in charge, this is a win. Then if asked
- 1:41:32if in the midst of budget cuts throughout the
- 1:41:34state government, if any cuts are planned on
- 1:41:37being made to the 50 million dollars that have
- 1:41:39been earmarked for private and homeschool programs,
- 1:41:42quote, the answer is no. Idaho Senator Jim Woodward
- 1:41:45from Sagal said, there was an effort, but we
- 1:41:48still don't have the same legislature, but we
- 1:41:50still have the same legislative makeup that we
- 1:41:52had a year ago. And that was first put into law.
- 1:41:55Read basically, no, because Idaho is wrong. The
- 1:42:00makeup of the legislative, you know, it's too
- 1:42:03conservative. It's wrong. And Woodward is labeled
- 1:42:06a freaking Republican. Yes, he's part of the
- 1:42:11majority. In theory, theoretically, he is supposed
- 1:42:13to be a part of the majority party that, on a
- 1:42:18partisan line, by the way, voted HB93 into law,
- 1:42:23but Woodward has been against it from the start,
- 1:42:25but claims to be a Republican. There was an effort
- 1:42:28to continue extracting maximum taxes from people.
- 1:42:30But unfortunately, we have the same legislative
- 1:42:32makeup that's made up of mostly the party that
- 1:42:34I claim to belong to. And unfortunately, that
- 1:42:36I am supposed to be a part of that unfortunate.
- 1:42:38And so unfortunately, much to our everlasting
- 1:42:41chagrin, we do have to give a tiny fraction of
- 1:42:44people's own tax money back to them. Yeah. Another
- 1:42:49person asked about the Lake Ponderay High School,
- 1:42:53which I don't even know what Lake Ponderay High
- 1:42:55School is. It's not Sandpoint High School. So
- 1:42:59I'm not exactly. It's apparently it's a it's
- 1:43:01a district. It's an alternative high school.
- 1:43:04And that's all it says. Just an alternative high
- 1:43:05school. OK, WTF. What does that mean? We don't
- 1:43:07know. They won't tell us. That's where they send
- 1:43:09the bad kids so that they can have a cigarette
- 1:43:11breaks and call their teachers by their first
- 1:43:13names. That would be my guess. That was my first
- 1:43:16guess knowing what I know about the world. And
- 1:43:19it says, quote, we need to keep that school open,
- 1:43:22one woman said. Whose kids are all degenerates.
- 1:43:27Probably she has great grandkids now. I don't.
- 1:43:31But here's here's where this really gets good.
- 1:43:34Noting the town hall was not the place for this
- 1:43:37particular discussion, Lake Ponderay School District
- 1:43:40Board Vice Chair Dave Demers had the discussion
- 1:43:43anyways. That's my part. I just added that said
- 1:43:46the program has the district support, but limited
- 1:43:49state funding has caused the program to run at
- 1:43:51a loss. Your program was running at a loss regardless
- 1:43:56of state funding or not That's the part these
- 1:43:58people don't understand your program is in the
- 1:44:01is in the red. You don't operate With a profit.
- 1:44:05In fact, none of it operates With profit it all
- 1:44:09runs in the loss. It's all in the red always
- 1:44:12all the time by definition They don't generate
- 1:44:16anything of value Theoretically, they're supposed
- 1:44:19to generate value by turning out critically thinking
- 1:44:22human beings who can work a job, do basic math,
- 1:44:26read at at least an eighth grade level. Of course,
- 1:44:28we know they're failing at all of those metrics.
- 1:44:30Every objective metric, state -run indoctrination
- 1:44:32camps are failing, but their very own administrator
- 1:44:36doesn't have the wherewithal to understand the
- 1:44:39distinction that they run at a loss all the time
- 1:44:42anyways. But the way they phrase it and the way
- 1:44:44the media phrases it is without state money,
- 1:44:47we're running at a loss. No, no, you've always
- 1:44:49run at a loss. Now you're just not getting all
- 1:44:51the dollars you want. Ben Demers says, he goes
- 1:44:55on to say, even though, well, he said, we're
- 1:44:56not going to have that conversation. Quote, the
- 1:44:58state has never funded public education and special
- 1:45:01ed the way it should, even though the Idaho Supreme
- 1:45:03Court said it should 20 years ago. The other
- 1:45:06side doesn't want to do that for some reason.
- 1:45:09He doesn't know we're in a situation right now
- 1:45:12where we are in the hole. One resident in attendance
- 1:45:15said that was stupid. That's that's in this.
- 1:45:20Yeah. And it goes on like that for some time.
- 1:45:23So you get the idea that that was the town hall.
- 1:45:27That was what they did at the town hall. Those
- 1:45:29are your glorious Supreme Chalupa leader, leader,
- 1:45:32leaders talking to the boomer generation, the
- 1:45:36wealthiest generation in history, I might add,
- 1:45:38who complains that state run indoctrination camps
- 1:45:42aren't getting enough money, but they don't want
- 1:45:44to pay any more for it. And these are the same,
- 1:45:47this is the same demographic that complains about
- 1:45:50wanting more social security. exemptions on their
- 1:45:53property taxes because they're on fixed incomes.
- 1:45:56But those of us who are the poorest, the young
- 1:45:59people, working families, it's okay for us to
- 1:46:02pay for a system we don't even want. It's better
- 1:46:05than okay. It's necessary. It has to happen.
- 1:46:08Otherwise we're going to come take you away from
- 1:46:10your kids. I do love the part where... In fact,
- 1:46:12it's the price we pay for living in civilization
- 1:46:14because the most civilized thing you can do is
- 1:46:16point a gun at your neighbor and make them pay
- 1:46:18for the stuff you want. It reminds me the Demers
- 1:46:21quote about the other side doesn't want to do
- 1:46:23that for some reason totally reminds me of the
- 1:46:26of Wintrow going like oh we should pay our fair
- 1:46:30share and then Todd going Well, that phrasing
- 1:46:33is no good and her being like well, what what
- 1:46:36what like so in other words You don't know what
- 1:46:38the other side thinks. Is that what you're telling
- 1:46:40me? and I mean then they just and the Two representatives
- 1:46:44and the superintendent who were there just sat
- 1:46:46there and nodded their heads and they're like,
- 1:46:48yep It's the other side even though technically
- 1:46:51all three of them are Republicans. Right. They
- 1:46:54ran as Republicans. They will be in the Republican
- 1:46:57primaries. Right. So what other side? The side
- 1:47:02that thinks that the, so I guess they don't mean
- 1:47:04political party. They mean the side that thinks
- 1:47:06that there should be cuts made to public school
- 1:47:10budgets, but they don't know the reasons that
- 1:47:11those people want them cut. It's just for some
- 1:47:14reason. We don't know why. Yep. Souter in particular
- 1:47:18is, he's impressive. uh, in all the wrong ways.
- 1:47:22He has almost a zero score for both freedom and
- 1:47:27for finance, uh, for spending with the IFF. And
- 1:47:30again, I don't use the IFF for everything and
- 1:47:32they're not the, they're not God, but they do
- 1:47:34rate every bill that comes out and they rate
- 1:47:36every legislator on how they vote on those bills.
- 1:47:38And they do have an open to the air. open source
- 1:47:42metric system. You can go on and see what their
- 1:47:44metrics are and their metrics are conservative.
- 1:47:46They have to check or not check certain boxes
- 1:47:49one way or the other. And it's a pretty solid
- 1:47:52index. And Sauder is actually behind almost every
- 1:47:56Democrat in the state. This dude's contribution
- 1:47:59has been to vote yes for every tax increase,
- 1:48:02yes for every agency. No to every tax cut. No
- 1:48:06to everything that would give back freedom. And
- 1:48:08his two claims to fame for this last legislative
- 1:48:10session so far are two failed bills, both of
- 1:48:12which would cost us more money depending on who
- 1:48:15you are. He wanted to add $5 to vehicle registration
- 1:48:19fees, but the money was going to go to ISP, so
- 1:48:24it was for a good cause. In fact, they complain
- 1:48:27about the Idaho Freedom Foundation with this
- 1:48:30one too. He goes, also discussed was a failed
- 1:48:31bill. would have brought regulation of private
- 1:48:34for -profit sewer utilities under the Idaho Public
- 1:48:38Utilities Commission oversight. So basically
- 1:48:41the state of Idaho wants to tell private utility
- 1:48:45companies what to do, but it garnered a negative
- 1:48:48net rating from the Idaho Freedom Foundation.
- 1:48:50So that led to its defeat on the house floor.
- 1:48:52It says the bill got hung up on politics. Ah,
- 1:48:56yes. Yeah. It's just politics. Another bill that
- 1:48:59got hung up on politics was one that would have
- 1:49:01boosted Idaho State Police Trooper pay to help
- 1:49:04law enforcement agency compete with nearby states.
- 1:49:07The bill was set to add $5 to vehicle registration
- 1:49:10fees. This is Souter's claim to fame. More money
- 1:49:12out of our pockets to pay the road pirates more
- 1:49:15money to harass us on the road. Right. And the
- 1:49:18other thing Mark Souter wanted to do, harsher
- 1:49:21penalties for those who didn't pay their traffic
- 1:49:25ticket fines, said Idaho has $23 million in outstanding
- 1:49:29fines. Quote, I think it's good public policy.
- 1:49:32If you're speeding and you get a ticket, you
- 1:49:33actually have to pay that ticket, noting that
- 1:49:35it would help close the budget gaps, et cetera,
- 1:49:38et cetera. I say no speeding tickets are racketeering
- 1:49:42and extortion. So fuck off. Well, and anybody
- 1:49:46who opposes any of that stuff, they're, they're
- 1:49:49just cynical. It's just politics. My, my motives
- 1:49:53are pure opposition to my bills. It's just, it's
- 1:49:56politics. Correct. The NRI does this. The North
- 1:50:01Idaho Republicans, this is tactic number one.
- 1:50:04When conservatives are trying to vie for a school
- 1:50:08board or any sort of position, the NRI says the
- 1:50:12conservatives are trying to dominate or take
- 1:50:15over. But when NRI runs candidates for the same
- 1:50:18positions and they're trying to sweep, it's simply
- 1:50:21saving NIC or bringing back common sense or reasonable
- 1:50:27governance. Yes, their motives and their motives
- 1:50:29are pure and their opponents are monsters. Correct.
- 1:50:34Right. Well, I think we've probably set a record
- 1:50:41this week. I think this might be our longest
- 1:50:42show. Oh, no, no, no. We're still number two
- 1:50:44in the length of show behind the Speaking of
- 1:50:47NIC episode number one. We've yet to top it.
- 1:50:50We failed again this week. It's OK. Gave a lot
- 1:50:55of value. Thank you very much for. Checking out
- 1:50:59episode number 22 of no ID. We do try to bring
- 1:51:03the value with every episode that we produce
- 1:51:05and If you agree with that assessment and you
- 1:51:09find by the way, if you don't man, it's just
- 1:51:11politics Please go to no ID show calm and return
- 1:51:16value time talent or treasure our show runs on
- 1:51:19value for value The very polar opposite of most
- 1:51:22of that which we have been discussing here to
- 1:51:24for All right, Paul's already checked out for
- 1:51:30the week. So I'll just I'll finish. No, I was
- 1:51:32waiting for you to sign off. Well, I got I got
- 1:51:35in order for the timing to be that was them.
- 1:51:39I've got one minute left on my bed here, so I've
- 1:51:41got to fill some air. You didn't tell me that
- 1:51:42I thought you were going to say, all right. From
- 1:51:44the, you know, Post Falls Pavilion, I'm Scott
- 1:51:47and I was going to do my thing. You'll hear it
- 1:51:49in a second. It's got to be timed with the end
- 1:51:52of the bed. So I see I have the little bar, the
- 1:51:54little countdown bar that I'm looking at and
- 1:51:56you don't. So it's it's really, it's my fault.
- 1:52:01The important thing is that you've seen it my
- 1:52:03way and we know that it's your fault. Paul's
- 1:52:06right. So until episode number 20 killings episode
- 1:52:12number 23 of your no ID show from the aforementioned
- 1:52:17post falls, I'm Scott and I'm Paul taxation is
- 1:52:22theft. was no government life would be perfect
- 1:52:32and I have no basis for that reasoning at all.
