• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. So true, it's No ID. Welcome
• 0:26
  back to the mainstream media deconstruction for
• 0:30
  North Idaho. I'm Scott. And I'm Paul. Hello,
• 0:34
  Internet. How are you today? I am. How are you
• 0:37
  today, Scott? You just got back from a trip.
• 0:40
  I'm happy. So happy to be back. Yes. My trip
• 0:43
  was to I mean, not that you. Paul knows, because
• 0:45
  I was texting him the whole time I was there
• 0:47
  with all of the various hilarities I was witnessing.
• 0:51
  I just got back. Just got back from the People's
• 0:52
  Republic of California, where I went to the City
• 0:56
  of Angels, hilariously named City of Angels to
• 0:59
  go visit the brother that I've mentioned. my
• 1:02
  earnest eyebrows, art dealing brother. How's
• 1:06
  he? You know, he's good. He's I went down for
• 1:09
  his baby shower. His wife is pregnant with their
• 1:13
  first and the celebrations. It was it was cool.
• 1:17
  It was a great reason to be there. I hadn't been
• 1:19
  back in since their wedding in twenty twenty
• 1:21
  two. And before that, I had not been back since
• 1:24
  before twenty twenty. It was a place that I used
• 1:25
  to go to many times a year when I lived in the
• 1:28
  Bay Area. My wife and I would go down there all
• 1:30
  the time and Since 2020, I've been back exactly
• 1:34
  once and it was for their wedding. So it was
• 1:37
  interesting to be back and see all the, you know,
• 1:39
  the changes that have taken place at the gallery
• 1:41
  itself. And then of course, with him and his,
• 1:43
  his wife, who's due next month, the baby shower
• 1:47
  itself was held pretty much where you would think
• 1:50
  it would be held for an art gallerist with, you
• 1:55
  know, very wealthy clientele and one of their
• 1:58
  tricky cheese. Yes. The, the rat. mascot came
• 2:02
  around and said, I swear I'm not vermin. Enjoy
• 2:05
  some pizza. The ball pits are always a hit at
• 2:08
  these kinds of functions. Nobody likes to admit
• 2:09
  it, but ball pits. Well, the LA was a pit in
• 2:14
  many ways. We call it, we like to refer to everything
• 2:17
  on that side of the world as occupied territory
• 2:21
  because that's how it feels. It feels like you're
• 2:23
  stepping into a different world because it is
• 2:25
  a different world. There should be a wall probably
• 2:27
  between the two of them. We really, what we should
• 2:29
  do is In the words of Emperor Trump, we should
• 2:31
  build a wall and make California pay for it.
• 2:34
  I mean, it really is almost Mexico. So it's it
• 2:37
  fits. There's a lot of third world elements going
• 2:42
  on. But then, of course, there's also extreme.
• 2:45
  It's not even first world. It's beyond the fritz,
• 2:47
  like half world. Like, you know, for all of the
• 2:50
  belly aching that that takes place, you know,
• 2:53
  from the occupants of those sorts of regions
• 2:56
  about income inequality and the other sort of
• 3:00
  commie bleedings that you hear a lot. Nowhere
• 3:02
  is it more on display than places like LA, where
• 3:06
  you have vermin infested junkies lying face down
• 3:09
  on the sidewalk, like using a concrete step as
• 3:12
  a pillow. Right next to the Malibu Mansion, the
• 3:17
  concrete and glass sweeping ocean views, you
• 3:21
  know, it's just, it's very strange. It's sort
• 3:24
  of very unsettling. It's a very different place
• 3:26
  than North Idaho to make the understatement of
• 3:28
  the century. And ironically, most of the people
• 3:30
  who live those Malibu mansions are the reason
• 3:34
  why the other people live with concrete pillows
• 3:37
  because limousine liberalism or leftism begets
• 3:41
  policies that begets things like chronic homelessness
• 3:45
  Oh, yeah, so I did have I mentioned yesterday
• 3:49
  to you on like via text the the airport lax was
• 3:56
  full of masks And actually airports everywhere
• 4:00
  are including Spokane. They're around, but it's
• 4:04
  very, very concentrated when you get to you fly
• 4:06
  into Seattle, you fly into Los Angeles. So I
• 4:09
  made this note because I thought it was funny.
• 4:11
  This is a sort of an Ask Paul. The highest concentration.
• 4:17
  It's I'd say the overall percentage realistically
• 4:19
  is probably something like between five and 10
• 4:22
  percent of people are wearing masks and still
• 4:26
  like they're still wearing masks. Oh, yeah. Oh,
• 4:29
  they will never stop. These are the forever maskers.
• 4:31
  Yes, these are the people that I suppose they
• 4:34
  legitimately think that they are protecting themselves
• 4:37
  from their disease written fellow citizens. I
• 4:40
  guess I'm pretty sure that's what's going through
• 4:43
  their heads. I can't really get in their heads.
• 4:45
  And to the extent that they think I think that's
• 4:47
  what's happening. But I noticed that the especially
• 4:50
  high concentration, I would say probably like
• 4:54
  maybe 30 percent. high. I mean, like a pro, it's
• 4:57
  not quite half, but it's probably something like
• 4:59
  25 or 30 % of these particular groups are masked.
• 5:05
  And I'm wondering if you can guess what they
• 5:07
  are. Hmm. Are we breaking it down by organization
• 5:13
  or are we breaking it down politically or racially
• 5:17
  or religiously? Well, I don't want to give too
• 5:20
  much away. It could be any combination of those
• 5:22
  things. And so one of them is let's go. I'll
• 5:25
  tell you one of them is like sort of organizational
• 5:27
  and airport related. And the other one is, I
• 5:30
  guess, sort of demographically related to the
• 5:33
  third world segment of Los Angeles. Well, I mean,
• 5:37
  I immediately just want to say leftists because
• 5:40
  they're going to be way more likely to mask up
• 5:42
  anyways. But I know that's too broad. So probably
• 5:46
  something along the lines of like government
• 5:47
  employees. Transit, employees, education, oh,
• 5:52
  did I hit it already? TSA. TSA, well yeah. Extremely
• 5:59
  masked up at LAX. Brought to you by the agency
• 6:03
  whose job it was to enforce masks and also three
• 6:05
  ounces of liquid. 3 .2, not acceptable. Lest
• 6:10
  you had jammed some plastic explosives into your
• 6:12
  tube of crest. Yeah, is that extra 0 .2 ounces
• 6:16
  that... makes the difference between whether
• 6:18
  or not it's a bomb or just good tooth care. It
• 6:22
  maybe is a little window into the, um, like virulence,
• 6:27
  if you'll pardon that slight pun that they had
• 6:30
  for their, like what there's is zeal of enforcement,
• 6:33
  um, during the time when it was quote required,
• 6:36
  which is a lot of them just legitimately believe
• 6:40
  that this is like a good thing to do is to hide
• 6:43
  your face in public. Which because it's a protective
• 6:47
  like the disease ridden masses are are shuffling
• 6:50
  by them all day And so they must protect their
• 6:54
  overweight asses from the public. I suppose is
• 6:57
  the thought they many they a very high percentage
• 7:00
  of them legitimately believe that there is There
• 7:03
  is utility to hiding your face 100 % on top of
• 7:08
  that you have the added benefit of the unearned
• 7:11
  feeling of nobility when you do something like
• 7:14
  that. You feel like you're doing it for a good
• 7:16
  cause, or you're doing it because you're selfless,
• 7:19
  or whatever way you rationalize it. So not only
• 7:22
  do you believe the narrative health -wise, which
• 7:25
  has been debunked a gorillion different ways,
• 7:28
  but you also feel really good about doing it.
• 7:31
  And that is intoxicating. When you think that
• 7:34
  your narrative is correct, and you are the good
• 7:36
  person for following it, that is incredibly intoxicating.
• 7:39
  And it's hard for most people to... Ooh, get
• 7:43
  out from under the thumb of that mentality. While
• 7:46
  that is true, the buying into the narrative thing,
• 7:50
  while it does appear to be genuine, only goes
• 7:53
  so far in their oxygen deprived minds because
• 7:58
  they do take them down very frequently in order
• 8:03
  to eat and drink before. Yeah, you have to be
• 8:05
  able to drink the Kool -Aid. So you got to remove
• 8:08
  the mask, drink the Kool -Aid, put the mask back
• 8:10
  on. So they do they do believe that they're protecting
• 8:12
  themselves from the public except for the times
• 8:15
  that they remove it in order to consume and then
• 8:20
  Right back up it goes. So yes, of course they
• 8:23
  do believe it but do they I'm not sure again
• 8:25
  how much they're really thinking So, okay here's
• 8:27
  a couple more quick thoughts before we get to
• 8:29
  our North Idaho mainstream media deconstruction
• 8:31
  as per usual the highest concentration the other
• 8:34
  the other Demographic that is much more highly
• 8:38
  concentrated in maskers than than normal is vagrants
• 8:44
  Really? Yes When you say vagrants, do you mean
• 8:48
  homeless people or just like people who loiter
• 8:52
  around too long? It's pretty difficult. I supposed
• 8:55
  to tell the difference like a distinction without
• 8:57
  a difference in Los Angeles Don't know what you
• 9:00
  call it like they're sort of wandering around
• 9:02
  the street in 14 year old clothes that have never
• 9:04
  been washed and everything is Unkempt and you
• 9:07
  know hair is going in every direction out of
• 9:09
  every pore You don't know necessarily homeless,
• 9:12
  but yeah vagrant. Okay, I get you. I'm hearing
• 9:14
  you vagrants a very high percentage of them messed
• 9:17
  up I would say I would say 50 % maybe 40 to Wow
• 9:21
  extremely common Wow, I mean what well I mean,
• 9:24
  I guess it's a it's probably not a sanitary life.
• 9:27
  I suppose it Maybe makes sense. I don't know.
• 9:30
  But I mean, then again, a lot of the a lot of
• 9:32
  these folks are where they're at due to mental
• 9:34
  illness. So that says some right. Yeah, there
• 9:39
  we go. And vagrants. Now you. I did that. I did
• 9:42
  that on purpose. You got there. Thank you. You
• 9:44
  got there. Yep. You can lead a Paul to massacre,
• 9:47
  but you can make him. I don't know how the saying
• 9:50
  goes, but you got there. A couple more quick
• 9:53
  notes. The go to mask style surgical. I'd say
• 9:58
  maybe seven or eight out of ten of the masks
• 10:00
  on people are surgical masks. Always funny because
• 10:04
  you can usually like through the gaps in the
• 10:06
  sides of them, you can usually see the people's
• 10:08
  mouths. So always hilarious. Yeah. Not a great
• 10:11
  seal. Not what they would wear if there was a
• 10:13
  real outbreak. And the final thing that I noticed
• 10:16
  was not even that fashionable either. Not anymore.
• 10:20
  Remember when it was. Well, I mean, when I say
• 10:23
  fashionable, I mean, stylish. They're not even
• 10:25
  stylish. If you're going to wear a mask all the
• 10:28
  time, you might as well be stylish. Custom design.
• 10:33
  The logo of your favorite sports team. That would
• 10:36
  be actually so perfect. Sports ball. While I'm
• 10:40
  masked up. Yep. And then the final point was
• 10:44
  that I noticed that a, I would say three out
• 10:48
  of 10 maskers have it only over their mouth.
• 10:51
  Extra hilarious. They should probably just make
• 10:55
  a mask that covers your entire face. Like the
• 10:59
  ones that horses wear, when they cover your eyeballs
• 11:02
  and everything on the horses, and then they just
• 11:05
  put the food bag, the feed bag on your schnoz
• 11:09
  and then leave you alone. Wearing a mask. Good
• 11:16
  times. So if you're wondering why I never stopped
• 11:18
  beating the dead horse, it's because you psycho
• 11:20
  -antisocial face -hider nutjobs have never stopped
• 11:24
  either. Oh man, yeah, it is pretty wild. I don't
• 11:29
  travel often, but when I do, inevitably we see
• 11:31
  some maskers, not as many out of Spokane as we
• 11:34
  do say like Denver. Denver's a hot spot because
• 11:38
  of affluent leftists. Oh man, Denver's one of
• 11:41
  those just, it's a terrible place. Orlando, it's
• 11:43
  because it's mainly Asians. I actually, when
• 11:46
  you asked me about what group of people, one
• 11:47
  of the first things I thought was Asians. Hell,
• 11:50
  Asians were masking before it was cool. Yeah,
• 11:53
  although even that is sort of revisionist history
• 11:55
  because if you yes, they existed you would see
• 11:58
  them But if you go like, I don't know go watch
• 12:00
  euro dreams of sushi Go watch that documentary
• 12:02
  from 2012 where he's going all over creation
• 12:04
  in Tokyo into the fish markets and on the subway
• 12:07
  and stuff You know, there's no there's no masks.
• 12:09
  So I mean, I know occasionally not back home
• 12:12
  The other ones who would wear them though while
• 12:14
  traveling or you know, I would say this I guess
• 12:16
  I should have made the distinction here. Yeah,
• 12:19
  maybe put it a different way in the pre 2020
• 12:21
  days in the rare occasion that you did see one
• 12:24
  it was an asian person yes that's what i thank
• 12:28
  you that's what i'm saying yeah all right so
• 12:32
  uh what's going on in idaho scott moving right
• 12:34
  along let's follow up from the do you recall
• 12:38
  the poor little girl who was struck by broken
• 12:40
  glass after the horrific blast at the stroke
• 12:43
  of midnight on new year's eve Boise police have
• 12:46
  wrapped up their investigation to determine whether
• 12:49
  there was any suspicious activity in the wake
• 12:51
  of the New York City fireworks incident. And
• 12:53
  Boise, you may remember that evening when during
• 12:56
  the fireworks display, glass shattered severely
• 13:00
  scarring a five -year -old child. Boise police
• 13:02
  looked at video footage. They say they talked
• 13:04
  to the Weather Service. They interviewed several
• 13:07
  people to see how blast pressure waves may have
• 13:10
  interacted with surrounding structures. But Boise
• 13:12
  police concluded, quote, based on the information
• 13:16
  currently available, it is not possible to determine
• 13:19
  the exact combination of events that led nearby
• 13:22
  windows to shatter. At this time, there are no
• 13:25
  indications of criminal activity. Why would there
• 13:29
  be criminal activity? What did I miss there?
• 13:31
  The the premise was that fireworks went kaboom
• 13:34
  and glass went and a poor little girl got caught
• 13:38
  in the crossfire. Well, I'm going to speculate.
• 13:42
  I think they were like, are, is there criminal
• 13:46
  negligence on behalf of the planners? Were the,
• 13:49
  were the fireworks improperly, whatever, or they
• 13:51
  weren't supposed to be doing this thing over
• 13:53
  here, I guess. Okay. So criminal investigation
• 13:57
  is inconclusive. Uh, so now what? Now we wait
• 14:06
  for the city leaders, excuse me, officials to,
• 14:10
  yeah, exactly. So either the little girl's family
• 14:13
  is going to file a suit or city people are going
• 14:16
  to be like, we're not doing that anymore or some
• 14:18
  combination thereof. You know, that's coming
• 14:20
  down the pipe, but that's interesting that they
• 14:22
  did a criminal investigation. I guess that's
• 14:25
  the part I'm still chewing on. An investigation
• 14:27
  makes sense, but okay. Well, we'll continue to,
• 14:31
  we'll follow along with that story as it breaks.
• 14:34
  And in the meantime, let's go to the latest from
• 14:37
  the cartel. You know how I've been saying? Author
• 15:08
  this podcast that it's all the same people the
• 15:12
  downtown cartel It's all the same people they
• 15:14
  point each other to all this all the boards and
• 15:16
  all the positions and when there's an opening
• 15:19
  they bring them in and Well, here we are. The
• 15:22
  cartel carousel continues to move along Her brand
• 15:27
  new mayor Dan Guggen brings in former mayor of
• 15:30
  Post Falls Ron Jacobson both of them are part
• 15:32
  of the North Idaho Republican scene and Wouldn't
• 15:35
  you know it? Ron Jacobson was out of a job no
• 15:39
  longer the mayor but not for long not out of
• 15:41
  a job for long Good old Dan Guggen's like come
• 15:44
  on over here, buddy. Have I got a spot for you
• 15:47
  now? It's an interim position, but we know how
• 15:49
  that works It's supposed to I think the contract
• 15:52
  is supposed to last until July if I'm not mistaken
• 15:55
  June or July and then they will look for candidates,
• 15:59
  but I'm sure Ron Jacobson will be a candidate
• 16:02
  and after they After they look at everybody they
• 16:06
  go well, you know Ron's doing such a good job,
• 16:08
  but he's already here Let's just make this permanent.
• 16:11
  I bet pretty good money on that See if you can
• 16:14
  provide some real -time translation for this
• 16:16
  particular part former Post Falls mayor will
• 16:18
  quote allow him to step into the role quickly
• 16:20
  with minimal learning curve Mm -hmm experience
• 16:25
  because Experience that's what matters. You know,
• 16:27
  these are the same people who complain about
• 16:31
  the Kootenai County precinct committee, which
• 16:33
  is currently more conservative right now, and
• 16:35
  that's what they're trying to change. The NRI
• 16:36
  is trying to change that. One of their big beefs
• 16:39
  is that it's the same 12 people they're always
• 16:42
  going up against in the polls and whatnot. They
• 16:44
  always complain. The NRI always complains, excuse
• 16:47
  me, NIR always complains about that. But if you
• 16:50
  look, as usual, those who complain the loudest
• 16:52
  about X are usually the ones guilty as much or
• 16:55
  more so than committing X and The cartel is really
• 17:01
  good about that. They really take care of their
• 17:03
  own. This boots on the ground report, I'd like
• 17:08
  to mention from Lloyd who wrote in and said,
• 17:12
  I met your new mayor last night. What a tool
• 17:15
  bag. And I clarified, I said, did you mean, do
• 17:18
  you mean Gukin or do you mean Randy Westland?
• 17:22
  And he said, oh, Westland. He said, I asked him
• 17:24
  a couple broad, basic questions like, what do
• 17:27
  you think the biggest issues are in Post Falls?
• 17:30
  And he said, he's still figuring everything out.
• 17:33
  And then Lloyd said, I was shocked to find out
• 17:34
  he'd already been on the city council for two
• 17:36
  years. How do you not know? It's a good question.
• 17:41
  Seems like you would be in the position to know
• 17:44
  the most. You would think. And it's only been
• 17:48
  a half a second. So I'm willing to, you know.
• 17:50
  withhold too harsh a judgment for the time being.
• 17:55
  But Lloyd was not a fan, our producer Lloyd,
• 17:57
  not a fan. That's fair. On one hand, I would
• 18:00
  definitely want a better answer than that. On
• 18:02
  the other hand, I would rather have, I guess,
• 18:05
  a genuine answer that seems genuine enough to
• 18:07
  me where it's like, you know, I don't know, I'm
• 18:08
  still figuring it out, trying to decide, trying
• 18:10
  to prioritize versus just launching into tirade
• 18:13
  about that, which you do not know. I like it
• 18:15
  when Paul pronounces words. like genuine, as
• 18:19
  genuine, which you're either referring to the
• 18:21
  rapper or you're trying to imitate our friend
• 18:23
  from the last show, Alvin Holmes. Oh, everybody,
• 18:27
  a genuino? You know, when Israel had sinned and
• 18:33
  God was trying to decide who he gonna send down
• 18:36
  to save the earth, they was round. Somebody had
• 18:40
  suggested that he sent Abraham. He told Pharaoh
• 18:44
  that Sarah was his That was by the way that was
• 18:52
  the preamble to explain that's why he came out
• 18:55
  with So he just so you just do you understand
• 18:59
  the setup I didn't know those things were related
• 19:02
  at all No, but I knew he was genuine oh So here
• 19:15
  is another another cartel headline Former District
• 19:18
  16 representative Todd Achilles and also announced
• 19:22
  that he's running for Senate in Idaho's second
• 19:24
  district. He's facing current Congressman Jim
• 19:27
  Risch, who's held the seat for 16 years. Achilles
• 19:30
  says his campaign is about uniting Idaho, saying,
• 19:32
  quote, we know we've got hard problems to solve
• 19:35
  and we can do that collectively. We can bring
• 19:37
  everybody together to solve those. That sounds
• 19:41
  nice. I don't know how we're going to bring everybody
• 19:43
  together to solve problems that none of us agree
• 19:45
  on in the first place. Right. I know my antenna
• 19:48
  went up on that stuff too. Like there's no red
• 19:51
  states and there's no blue states. There's just
• 19:53
  the United States. Like this is the most textbook
• 19:57
  politician pablum line you can trot out. Yeah.
• 20:01
  It's actually why I sent you the article. First,
• 20:03
  I thought it was kind of a nothing burger. And
• 20:05
  then I, then I read it and I went, well, this
• 20:07
  is still a bit of a nothing burger, but it is
• 20:10
  telling and it is, you know, what we do here,
• 20:13
  right? Breaking, breaking it down. And Achilles
• 20:16
  has some pretty impressive unifying rhetoric,
• 20:19
  but every time I hear that from anybody, it immediately,
• 20:23
  like you said, my radar goes up, turns on, the
• 20:27
  red flags are out there and I really start paying
• 20:29
  attention because it's like, you know, he says,
• 20:32
  this campaign is really about bringing Idaho
• 20:34
  together. Everyone is sick of the division. We
• 20:37
  know we've got our problems to solve and we can
• 20:39
  do that collectively already. I'm like, what?
• 20:42
  Collectively, I hate that word. You start using
• 20:45
  that word and I immediately go, oh, okay. Yeah.
• 20:49
  Community is no good. Collectively is no good.
• 20:53
  The rainbow is no good. It's all been usurped.
• 20:56
  It has been usurped. It's a, what do they call
• 20:59
  them? Dog whistles? Is that what they're called?
• 21:01
  Yeah. False flags or something. I forget the
• 21:03
  term, but it's like there's certain terms that
• 21:05
  once, yeah, once they get used, it's like, whoop,
• 21:08
  ears are up. I'm paying attention. I think I,
• 21:10
  I think I can tell you your politics in five
• 21:12
  seconds or less. Now that I've heard you say
• 21:14
  these things, we've got hard problems and we
• 21:16
  can solve them collectively. We can bring everybody
• 21:18
  together to solve those. That's really what we're
• 21:20
  trying to do. This is him in an interview with
• 21:22
  the press. And I read this and I just say, where
• 21:26
  have you been the last, I don't know, 100 years?
• 21:30
  In so much as like, where's your head been? In
• 21:32
  the ground, apparently. Because we don't want
• 21:36
  the same things. Yeah, even in Kootenay County.
• 21:44
  Coeur d 'Alene does not want the same things
• 21:46
  as most the rest of Kootenai County Sandpoint
• 21:50
  sure shit doesn't want the same things as Bonner
• 21:52
  County as most of the rest of us in Bonner County
• 21:54
  and hell even me like where I'm I'm technically
• 21:56
  in the county But I'm just north of the town
• 21:59
  of Clark Fork and we sure as hell don't want
• 22:02
  what the town of Clark Fork wants We're that
• 22:05
  different all from each other. So you can almost
• 22:07
  go neighborhood by neighborhood Mm -hmm. Yeah,
• 22:10
  I think the only thing everybody can agree on
• 22:12
  is that we don't like what's going on But we
• 22:15
  can't agree on the parts that we don't like and
• 22:17
  and we also can't agree on how to solve them
• 22:19
  That's that's why I'm a big proponent of national
• 22:22
  divorce. I've brought that up before I'll bring
• 22:25
  it up every chance there is we're to our Needs
• 22:28
  and our wants and our desires are too unique
• 22:31
  To be one big country trying to do it and the
• 22:34
  same can be said for the state the state level
• 22:36
  at the county level at the city level it doesn't
• 22:38
  matter ultimately it boils down to the individual
• 22:40
  and we're all different we should be allowed
• 22:41
  to pursue those differences, but There I go on
• 22:44
  my soapbox again. So yeah, this guy's going to
• 22:47
  run against Rish and he was, I had to look it
• 22:50
  up because I was curious because he was in the
• 22:53
  Idaho legislature for a spell district 16. And
• 22:55
  I'm not exactly sure what town that represents,
• 22:57
  but he was the house democratic caucus chair.
• 23:01
  So he's coming in as a Democrat, but he is an
• 23:04
  electable style Democrat. He's an Idaho Democrat
• 23:07
  because he's former military, he's an army tank
• 23:09
  commander. So he's got the Hua or the Ura. I
• 23:12
  don't remember which is which I think. Army is
• 23:14
  Hua. He's got the Hua behind him. But he's got
• 23:19
  background at UC Berkeley. So he's actually a
• 23:21
  California boy. Harper Bagger is what he is.
• 23:26
  He's electable as a Democrat, which is how he
• 23:29
  got elected. Oh, he's out of Boise, Garden City.
• 23:31
  There we go. Duh. That's District 16, one of
• 23:34
  Boise's several districts. So there you go. He's
• 23:36
  a perfect Boise Democrat. Fascinating. He's going
• 23:41
  to run against Rish. Would vote against rich
• 23:43
  just on pure principle if there was somebody
• 23:45
  else to vote for but I'm not sure I want this
• 23:48
  guy Achilles Yeah, that was the initial message
• 23:52
  you sent me like man. I wish a plastic snowman
• 23:55
  would run so I could vote for that instead I
• 23:58
  would vote for a golden retriever. In fact, we
• 24:01
  should put a golden retriever on the ballot It's
• 24:04
  not about Goldins anymore, man I don't know the
• 24:05
  last time you saw like pet package products like,
• 24:08
  you know dog food or dog toys or Billboards for
• 24:11
  veterinarians. It's all it's Bernie's Mountain
• 24:12
  Dogs now, man. That's the new golden Okay. Well,
• 24:17
  I don't care Fine well, all right a black lab
• 24:22
  then. Okay, how about that? Is that good enough
• 24:24
  for everybody? You're going further into the
• 24:25
  past man. Oh Crap, but I thought the black part
• 24:29
  would make everybody okay with it, and I don't
• 24:32
  know I can't keep up speaking of going into the
• 24:34
  past I have a boots on the ground report with
• 24:37
  regard to different healthcare models. So this
• 24:40
  is sort of a back in time to when cash for service
• 24:44
  was a thing? In the shadow of fewer health care
• 24:47
  options, we have a report this morning from North
• 24:50
  Central Idaho on the growing popularity of subscription
• 24:54
  health care. Dr. Jack Bouchard is a family physician
• 24:58
  in Moscow, Idaho. He's also one of a growing
• 25:00
  number of doctors whose patients pay a flat monthly
• 25:03
  fee. I get paid regardless in a fee for service
• 25:07
  the only way physicians get paid is if someone
• 25:10
  walks through the door and is seen. You wouldn't
• 25:12
  get paid for phone notes. You don't get paid
• 25:14
  for reviewing labs. You don't get paid for thinking
• 25:16
  a little bit extra. A national study published
• 25:19
  in the December issue of Health Affairs shows
• 25:22
  that the number of subscription -based health
• 25:24
  clinics increased by 83 % from 2018 to 2023.
• 25:29
  That includes the model used at Bouchard's clinic,
• 25:32
  known as direct primary care. Dewey Whiting started
• 25:36
  going to Bouchard over a year ago and pays $100
• 25:39
  a month. He says he likes that appointments feel
• 25:42
  personal. Direct primary care clinics do not
• 25:56
  take health insurance. The study's authors say
• 25:58
  more research is needed to understand how the
• 26:01
  growth of subscription health care models could
• 26:03
  affect health care access. I can tell you, without
• 26:08
  a lot of research, it's a good thing. I actually
• 26:11
  am a part of one. I'm going to give him a plug.
• 26:14
  Artisan Primary Care in Post Falls. It is subscription
• 26:17
  primary care service, Dr. James Bailey, who also
• 26:20
  is my friend and a really good guy. That's the
• 26:23
  model. It is the model of the, I was going to
• 26:26
  say it's the model of the future, but it's more,
• 26:29
  it's really kind of like the model that we had
• 26:31
  from forever, although minus the subscription
• 26:34
  aspect, I suppose, but basically direct care.
• 26:38
  And it's catching on because it is a great model.
• 26:43
  You pay your fee every month. You know, from
• 26:46
  what I've seen, it's in between a hundred and
• 26:47
  $200 a month, depending on which practice you're
• 26:50
  with. And they limit their client pool. to X
• 26:54
  amount, you know, they've done the math for what
• 26:56
  works for them. And then they grow accordingly,
• 26:59
  like Dr. James Bailey has added another doctor.
• 27:01
  So there's two of them, three of them actually
• 27:02
  now. Well, now that's been over the course of,
• 27:05
  gosh, eight years and they've got room for you.
• 27:08
  Like the guy who was being interviewed said,
• 27:10
  yeah, you look them up. You can get in in a couple
• 27:12
  of days or less. It's not a month long wait.
• 27:15
  And they can do everything that's considered
• 27:17
  primary care, which is from stitches to setting
• 27:19
  an arm to doing blood work, to doing physicals,
• 27:21
  to seeing you for all the all your basic needs.
• 27:24
  Anything that requires specialists is a different
• 27:26
  animal, but they can write you referrals and
• 27:28
  make sure you can get in. It's a pretty smooth
• 27:30
  process. In fact, the only thing that really
• 27:33
  fucks up the process is when you try to get insurance
• 27:36
  involved. And then that slows everything down
• 27:39
  and screws things up because a lot of insurance
• 27:41
  companies and policies don't like to play ball
• 27:44
  with these practices or companies, whatever you
• 27:48
  want to call them are doing. So there's definitely
• 27:50
  some clashing there, but It works really well.
• 27:53
  Highly, highly recommend it. I'm going to give
• 27:55
  him bells. Highly recommend. Here's why it clashes.
• 28:00
  Here's a boots on the ground report from a physician,
• 28:04
  producer of ours, after I sent her a article
• 28:08
  I had read written by Alex Berenson in which
• 28:11
  he, who lives in, I believe it was New York and
• 28:13
  he describes a visit to, after his long time
• 28:16
  primary care physician retired, like in his 80s,
• 28:19
  he was sort of an old school white coat with
• 28:21
  a tie style doctor. and had gone to this one
• 28:24
  of these new style clinics, not a direct pay,
• 28:27
  and was dismayed at how sort of vacant and distant
• 28:31
  the actual doctor was and how little went on
• 28:33
  with regard to examining his actual body. Here's
• 28:36
  the Boots on the Ground report. drops too low.
• 28:53
  And of course, well, I won't say her employer
• 28:55
  in her employer's eyes. One example of a gap
• 28:59
  in care would be a patient who is not up to date
• 29:01
  in every last jab and boost. I can't even get
• 29:05
  into some pregnant patients charts until I open
• 29:08
  up an order set for their pertussis vaccination,
• 29:11
  which I then just delete. So you see what she's
• 29:14
  literally just like getting around the software.
• 29:18
  Yeah. And then here's a follow -up from this
• 29:21
  was a thread with a couple different people in
• 29:23
  it a follow -up This is from a non physician,
• 29:26
  but who had an experience similar She may be
• 29:29
  one of the last of a dying breed of medical professionals
• 29:32
  that actually talk to patients I recently heard
• 29:34
  from someone who had a visit with a doctor who
• 29:36
  literally never made eye contact as he asked
• 29:39
  his algorithmic questions and typed away so this
• 29:43
  is the Antithesis of what you're gonna get with
• 29:47
  the subscription service And it's fantastic.
• 29:49
  And that's why the growth and it's going to continue
• 29:51
  to grow. It's going to continue to grow and grow
• 29:53
  and grow and grow. There's a point at which there's
• 29:56
  almost no reason to carry insurance right now.
• 30:01
  I'm not encouraging people to not carry insurance,
• 30:03
  but I'm saying there is a point at which it's
• 30:05
  almost not worth it. You might as well spend
• 30:06
  your shmeckles on direct primary care and then
• 30:09
  save up your shmeckles for when you have an issue
• 30:12
  pop up. Cause really at this point, health insurance
• 30:15
  is more, it's, you know, keep it for catastrophic
• 30:18
  or because You know, I guess if you're on chronic
• 30:20
  medication time, but everybody everybody's situation
• 30:23
  is different. So I guess I can't read into it
• 30:25
  but It's just more efficient and on Overall,
• 30:30
  it's less expensive to do primary care and you
• 30:32
  get you get right in You get to deal with human
• 30:34
  beings and I know for a fact that the doctors
• 30:36
  who are doing it and the doctors who have joined
• 30:39
  on with them Enjoy it significantly more as well.
• 30:42
  They have the freedom to do what they need to
• 30:43
  do for each patient You know this flexibility
• 30:45
  there's freedom It's free market health care.
• 30:48
  It's as close as you're going to get right now
• 30:49
  to free market health care. I like to refer to
• 30:51
  it as black market health care because even though
• 30:53
  technically it's not the black market, it feels
• 30:55
  a little black market. And I like that free market
• 30:58
  anything is going to beat the crap out of not
• 31:02
  free market anything. Wow. Eloquent. Yeah. I'm
• 31:07
  so good with the words. Good with the words.
• 31:09
  You did eloquently pronounce the word Schmechel.
• 31:12
  for which I have another boots on the ground
• 31:14
  note. Let me finish the last of our physician
• 31:18
  producer's note. She went on and said, there's
• 31:22
  still a lot of good on corporation corrupted
• 31:25
  providers out there, but sadly, beating the drum
• 31:27
  means more work for us. Because it is easier
• 31:30
  for providers to stare at a screen and check
• 31:32
  all the boxes during a patient visit than carefully
• 31:35
  listen and f -ing take actual notes of patients
• 31:37
  during the time allotted. So I have to make the
• 31:40
  choice between working after hours, which I spent
• 31:42
  my whole day off yesterday charting and reviewing
• 31:45
  labs and calling patients, or documenting etc.
• 31:49
  while in front of the patient, which I refuse
• 31:51
  to do. She said her employer gave her a 60 %
• 31:54
  raise to check all of those to check all of those
• 31:57
  effing boxes, and they care more about vaccination
• 32:00
  status than patient's wellness. Angry face. And
• 32:03
  she also said, we are really enjoying your most
• 32:05
  recent episode. So thank you for that. Thank
• 32:08
  you for taking that all up. Yeah, we really appreciate
• 32:10
  that a lot. Thank you very much. It's great content,
• 32:13
  actually. Very relevant and very helpful and
• 32:16
  great content. You said great content. Excellent
• 32:19
  fodder. It's really an evergreen topic. We could
• 32:21
  hit that topic. we could hit that topic from
• 32:24
  about 18 different angles and across 20 different
• 32:26
  podcasts. So no doubt we will come back to it.
• 32:31
  Here is another, by the way, this, we have a
• 32:33
  bunch of boots on the ground notes for today.
• 32:36
  So our, our call was heated. From the last show,
• 32:39
  so thank you guys. This is from Chris with regard
• 32:43
  to Schmeckles at the beginning of the value for
• 32:46
  value segment from episode 12 Paul asked quote
• 32:49
  what do Scott and Paul do with all those shiny
• 32:52
  Schmeckles and Chris says swing and a miss you
• 32:55
  definitely need to bust his balls on that one
• 32:57
  It might make a good sounder or maybe it could
• 33:00
  be a donation level like eight oh oh eight eighty
• 33:03
  dollars and eight cents is the boob donation
• 33:06
  on no agenda so a donation level shiny schmeckle
• 33:10
  and chris goes on of course your reply was a
• 33:12
  little suspect too you said speak for yourself
• 33:14
  i'm a jew i lend them out to people of interest
• 33:16
  that's known as a pimp isn't it it is because
• 33:19
  schmeckle means dick in yiddish wonderful Yeah.
• 33:28
  Yeah. Yeah. I know it's, I know it's shekel and
• 33:30
  not schmechel, but I don't care because schmechel
• 33:33
  is such a fun word. Now I will say I didn't know
• 33:35
  it was Yiddish for hoo -ha. No, I guess for wiener.
• 33:38
  Yeah, hoo -ha is different. But I learned something
• 33:41
  new. Thank you, Chris, for this is very illuminating.
• 33:44
  Thank you for the education. And that alone was
• 33:47
  worth more than any schmechels you could give,
• 33:52
  but still give us your schmechels. I thought
• 33:53
  about it, like what could the shiny schmechel
• 33:55
  donation be? And Who basically the first person
• 33:58
  to make it is gonna designate what it is because
• 34:01
  they're gonna donate whatever amount Yes, Michael
• 34:03
  is yeah, actually that that's it. That shall
• 34:05
  be the shiny schmeckle donation So we don't we
• 34:08
  don't even have to decide correct here ye hear
• 34:11
  ye the first producer To put schmeckles towards
• 34:15
  the cause then the amount you put towards the
• 34:19
  cause will be known as The schmeckle about that
• 34:25
  sounds good to me. So we'll have more More boots
• 34:29
  on the ground reports as the topics come up in
• 34:31
  the meantime let some smart ass. It's gonna do
• 34:33
  like one penny Here is a shekel enjoy a Shickle
• 34:42
  We shed schmeckles not shillings. Thank you very
• 34:44
  much We already did the gookin story so the shilling
• 34:48
  is over for the moment. Let's move on to How
• 34:52
  about this one? In a year where Idaho is facing
• 34:55
  potentially huge cuts to state programs to balance
• 34:58
  the state budget after years of major tax cuts,
• 35:02
  the governor of Florida is here to try and convince
• 35:05
  the legislature here in Idaho to get on board
• 35:08
  with a similar balanced budget amendment at the
• 35:11
  federal level. Well, good morning. Greetings
• 35:13
  from the Sunshine State. DeSantis wants Idaho
• 35:16
  to join with 28 other states to create a balanced
• 35:18
  budget amendment resolution through a constitutional
• 35:21
  convention. That's a method that's never been
• 35:23
  used successfully before. He says it's the only
• 35:26
  way to control the debt. I'm convinced that you're
• 35:29
  not going to see this turn around unless you
• 35:32
  have some constitutional constraints on the ability
• 35:36
  of Congress to drive us deeper into debt and
• 35:39
  effectively to end up bankrupting the country.
• 35:41
  An Article 5 convention to propose amendments
• 35:44
  to the Constitution requires 34 states apply
• 35:47
  to Congress to call it, and then any amendments
• 35:50
  must be ratified by 38 states. It's not easy.
• 35:54
  Idaho's legislature has previously declined to
• 35:56
  take part. So, right out of the gate, the reason
• 36:02
  we're in a budget deficit is because of tax cuts,
• 36:05
  apparently, not because we overspend, because
• 36:07
  we don't tax ourselves enough. There's always
• 36:09
  not enough revenue. It's always the reason. They're
• 36:12
  not even attempting I Think they stopped attempting
• 36:15
  a long time ago to be unbiased or to even to
• 36:18
  hide their bias from us now They're just saying
• 36:20
  it out loud Fully out loud like you know what
• 36:23
  the problem is We don't tax ourselves enough
• 36:26
  take that we do not confiscate enough shekels
• 36:30
  So we are going to give the entire populace the
• 36:32
  schmeckle the big big schmeckle There are pros
• 36:39
  and cons to the article 5 convention Rose and
• 36:43
  cons there's people fighting actively against
• 36:45
  it and not for the reasons you would think there
• 36:47
  are actually a lot of libertarians and conservatives
• 36:49
  fighting actively against it because There is
• 36:52
  a valid fear that should a constitutional convention
• 36:57
  of the states be called There are some real damage
• 37:01
  that could be done Real damage seems to get worse
• 37:04
  not better, and I think that's a valid concern
• 37:06
  So I don't know I'm gonna go either way for me
• 37:10
  on the other hand It sounds nice, right? A constitutional
• 37:13
  amendment to make sure the balance, the budget
• 37:15
  is balanced. But at the same again, but then
• 37:18
  on the other hand, on the other hand, when has
• 37:21
  the constitution ever held back anything the
• 37:22
  government does anyways? I mean, everybody likes
• 37:24
  to wring their hands, you know, oh, the constitution,
• 37:27
  the constitution. And it's like, right. Well,
• 37:29
  I mean I don't think in the last hundred years
• 37:31
  or or more anybody's actually really cared about
• 37:34
  what the Constitution has to say otherwise we
• 37:35
  wouldn't be where we are right now. Exactly and
• 37:38
  you know we're gonna you're gonna hear a lot
• 37:40
  about the Idaho Constitution when a little bit
• 37:43
  later in the show we get to the HB 93. and how
• 37:48
  many arguments that were made in front of the
• 37:50
  Idaho Supreme Court justices. And, oh, it's the
• 37:54
  Constitution, this and the Constitution, that
• 37:55
  suddenly everyone really is interested in the
• 37:58
  Constitution. I got some... Yeah, when they think
• 38:01
  they can bend it to their will. That's the thing.
• 38:04
  It's amazing how two people can read a document
• 38:07
  and come away with completely different interpretations
• 38:09
  of what that document says. Speaking of the Idaho
• 38:13
  Constitution and Idaho's budget, It is in the
• 38:16
  Constitution that Idaho's budget does have to
• 38:18
  be balanced every year. There is no leeway on
• 38:21
  that. Spending cannot exceed revenue. Correct,
• 38:25
  correct. But of course, it's the fault of not
• 38:29
  taxing ourselves enough. That's why. That's the
• 38:31
  issue. Well, spending can't exceed revenue if
• 38:34
  we have infinity revenue. Hello? If only we had
• 38:38
  infinity dollars, nobody would be poor. Man,
• 38:42
  you just described the economic philosophy of
• 38:46
  about half the population. Let's, before we take
• 38:50
  a breather to describe the value for value model
• 38:53
  and get to a couple more boots on the ground
• 38:54
  reports, here is the robust, enormous, and coherent
• 39:01
  contingent of ICE protesters in Idaho. Along
• 39:06
  with, of course, the nat pops of the car horns.
• 39:09
  Today, hundreds of protesters lined the streets
• 39:12
  of Coeur d 'Alene. The protesters standing against
• 39:15
  immigration enforcement officers who shot and
• 39:17
  killed another person this month in Minneapolis.
• 39:19
  One by one, the protest along Highway 95 in Coeur
• 39:23
  d 'Alene began to grow. Well, I'm very proud
• 39:26
  of Coeur d 'Alene. We have consistently done
• 39:28
  this and it gets bigger and bigger every time.
• 39:32
  Each person, though different ages and from different
• 39:35
  backgrounds, was there with the same goal in
• 39:38
  mind. to take a stand against immigration enforcement,
• 39:41
  the current administration, and demanding justice
• 39:44
  for Alex Preti, the man who was shot and killed
• 39:46
  by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday.
• 39:50
  We're here because of ICE's... By the way, this
• 39:54
  chick was wearing a mask. ...because of ICE's
• 39:57
  taking away the people that do not deserve it
• 40:00
  and are killing... Wait, hold on. I need to take
• 40:04
  my mask down to take a sip of water and back
• 40:06
  up. ...and are... killing people and so we are
• 40:11
  protesting against them. And for some today felt
• 40:14
  more personal. Where do you live? America. I
• 40:25
  loved that. Is that from that 70s show? It sure
• 40:27
  is. There is no damn D in America. America. America.
• 40:44
  I said, first of all, my name is Amelia and I
• 40:50
  am Mexican American and I am first generation
• 40:55
  from my dad's side. He is an immigrant and I
• 40:58
  am here fighting because I believe humanity.
• 41:04
  exists in everyone and it doesn't matter where
• 41:07
  you come from. And while these protesters were
• 41:10
  cheered on by... Of course humanity exists in
• 41:12
  everyone except Donald Trump and Republicans
• 41:14
  and white supremacists and everyone in North
• 41:16
  Idaho doesn't agree with me. If these two were
• 41:21
  the best interviews they could find, that's impressively
• 41:25
  low. exists in everyone and it doesn't matter
• 41:30
  where you come from. And while these protesters
• 41:32
  were cheered on by the supportive honking of
• 41:35
  cars driving by, they also received their fair
• 41:37
  share of complaints. Many cars driving by booing
• 41:41
  the protesters or giving them a thumbs down.
• 41:44
  For these protesters that just fueled the fire.
• 41:48
  There has never been a more important time to
• 41:50
  be loud than right now. Our younger generation
• 41:53
  holds so much power in transforming the world
• 41:56
  that we live in. The hope is that events like
• 41:59
  this encourages more people within the quarterly
• 42:01
  community to speak out and put pressure on government
• 42:04
  officials at every level to make a change. Remember
• 42:09
  that time that Todd Achilles, who's running against
• 42:12
  Senator Risch or representative Risch. Sorry.
• 42:15
  Yeah. No Senator Jim Risch was talking about
• 42:17
  how we could all come together and solve these
• 42:21
  problems. Yeah. Pepper's farm remembers. Yeah.
• 42:27
  Oh man. This is in Coeur d 'Alene, Idaho, which
• 42:29
  everybody outside of Idaho thinks we're all the
• 42:32
  same over here. Right. And we cannot agree on
• 42:36
  what color the carpet should be, let alone anything
• 42:38
  else. Or even how to pronounce America. America.
• 42:45
  America. By the way, she's Mexican American.
• 42:51
  You know she was born in freaking Sandpoint.
• 42:55
  Flabbergasts me how people are willing to so
• 42:58
  this is oh man It's such a big thing to unpack
• 43:01
  because I am for the free movement of peoples
• 43:03
  and I don't believe in government borders are
• 43:05
  arbitrary and nonsense that being said in the
• 43:12
  situation as it is now where we have a big government
• 43:16
  and it can be taken advantage of and defrauded
• 43:19
  and it and Basically a section of the population
• 43:22
  can be wielded as a cudgel and a club against
• 43:25
  other parts of the population because of the
• 43:27
  way it is and voting and all that kind of thing.
• 43:31
  All those kinds of things. It does matter. Demographics
• 43:34
  matter. And demographics are destiny. And illegal
• 43:37
  immigration is a real issue while we have the
• 43:41
  paradigm in which we operate right now. In my
• 43:44
  perfect anarchist world, we wouldn't have these
• 43:46
  borders. People could move and go as they please.
• 43:48
  I wouldn't need to show anybody my papers or
• 43:50
  have an ID or anything like that. My business
• 43:52
  would be my own. And it wouldn't be an issue
• 43:55
  because people self sort. They go to live with
• 43:58
  those they want to live with where they want
• 43:59
  to live. Culturally, economically, they follow
• 44:03
  where they can be prosperous and where they can
• 44:05
  be comfortable. And people tend to self sort
• 44:08
  near other people who are like themselves. You
• 44:12
  don't need the government to tell you how to
• 44:14
  do that. And right now there's an incentive to
• 44:16
  come here to this country and vote a certain
• 44:20
  way and get all the perks and benefits of it.
• 44:22
  and be wielded as a weapon against a demographic
• 44:26
  that's been here a lot longer and wants things
• 44:27
  differently. And that is a problem. But I'm also
• 44:31
  anti -ICE, but I'm also anti -legal immigration,
• 44:35
  and I'm anti -protesting in stupid ways, but
• 44:38
  I'm very pro -gun. So, basically, I don't agree
• 44:42
  with anybody on any of this. Everybody sucks.
• 44:46
  All the institutions suck. All these individuals
• 44:48
  suck. They're all being algo'd. into this outrage.
• 44:52
  It's also phony baloney. They're such NPCs. Everybody
• 44:56
  sucks. Oh man. The tribalism. I know it's a cliche
• 45:00
  complaint, but the tribalism is real. Actually
• 45:02
  the last few weeks after the murder, after the,
• 45:04
  uh, the killing murder might be the right phrase
• 45:06
  here of, I just forgot the dude's name. He's
• 45:09
  all over the news and I forgot the dude's name,
• 45:10
  but the guy who just got killed in Minnesota,
• 45:13
  it was George Floyd. Oh yeah. That's who it was.
• 45:16
  That's what I'm talking about. Let's start toppling
• 45:19
  some statues. Well, you know, you notice conservatives
• 45:22
  haven't done that even with Charlie Kirk. So
• 45:26
  that is an interesting thing. Alex Pretty, by
• 45:28
  the way, that's the guy's name. But there's a
• 45:30
  difference, huge difference between the left
• 45:32
  and the right when it comes to one of the neo
• 45:33
  right and the neo left when it comes to even
• 45:35
  just violence. You know, Charlie Kirk gets straight
• 45:38
  up stone cold assassinated. Nothing's on fire.
• 45:42
  Nothing got gets knocked over. There are like
• 45:44
  there's no marches. There's no protests. There's
• 45:46
  no anything. In fact, nothing's happened. Which
• 45:49
  is insane. Meanwhile, the left throw tantrums
• 45:54
  like five year olds and get away with, I was
• 45:57
  going to say get away with murder, but that's
• 45:59
  the government getting away with murder also.
• 46:02
  The left is actually more anti -government in
• 46:04
  some ways than the right is. At least they go
• 46:05
  out there and they do something about it. So
• 46:07
  I actually have to respect them for that. I don't
• 46:09
  know. It's crazy dude. Except for when they just
• 46:12
  roll over like lemming sheep and do everything
• 46:14
  the psychotic, authoritarian, paranoid, delusional,
• 46:17
  hypochondriac government tells them to. Right,
• 46:19
  isn't it crazy because right now we're watching
• 46:21
  the left be more pro 2a than the right Currently
• 46:25
  we are literally in real time watching that happen.
• 46:28
  It's it would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad
• 46:31
  And at the same time we're watching the right
• 46:34
  Lick the boots of the police state and cheer
• 46:37
  it on and cheer on the death of these the deaths
• 46:40
  of these two recent protesters cheer for it because
• 46:45
  because you know, fuck those scumbags they get
• 46:47
  what they deserve and I, I get that to a degree,
• 46:52
  but we should never really be cheering on death,
• 46:54
  even if we don't like those people or they are
• 46:56
  total scumbags. Instead, we should be looking
• 46:58
  for ways to divorce each other and not have to
• 47:01
  kill each other. You know, the right spent three,
• 47:04
  four years crying about how we were all treated
• 47:06
  during COVID and now they're licking the boots
• 47:10
  that stomp on the people they don't like. And
• 47:12
  just five years ago, the left was stomping on
• 47:14
  our necks. It's wild, man. If you're watching
• 47:18
  all of this and you're a libertarian or an anarchist
• 47:21
  like myself, it's been a really excellent illustration
• 47:26
  of how few of us there actually are who hold
• 47:28
  to our principles all the way through. I can
• 47:32
  count on less than two hands, maybe even less
• 47:34
  than one hand, the number of people I actually
• 47:37
  think have stuck to their principles who I know
• 47:39
  in my own orbit and who I would trust to come
• 47:42
  help me. When I'm protesting the government because
• 47:46
  when I protest it's legit Yep, and the rest of
• 47:49
  you are being algo'd into delusional nonsensical
• 47:54
  Inconsistent might be like the nicest way to
• 47:56
  say it contradictory positions on your own stupid
• 48:00
  opinions This is how we lose all of our executive
• 48:04
  producers sit here and insult them for an entire
• 48:06
  episode And you all suck you're terrible anybody
• 48:09
  terrible hanging in with with us on this show
• 48:12
  at this point probably Probably understands what
• 48:15
  it is. We're trying to say I'm we're not calling
• 48:17
  you Producers idiots. No. No just everybody else
• 48:22
  It kind of does make me laugh I have to say it
• 48:31
  is when when people trot out the whole like well,
• 48:33
  if you don't like it here Why don't you move
• 48:34
  to Somalia and I go well, I'm not like I'm not
• 48:37
  the one who sucks. I'm not moving We're not the
• 48:40
  ones who suck Scott We aren't and the reason
• 48:43
  we don't suck is because we operate on the value
• 48:47
  for value model here on no I'd hell yeah We I
• 48:50
  need some sort of a transition. I haven't figured
• 48:53
  out what that's gonna be yet. Oh, I got it for
• 48:55
  you. Hold on I actually had it dialed up at one
• 48:59
  point and then I don't want to hear your excuses
• 49:03
  We that's too bad cuz I got lots of them There
• 49:07
  we are. This is it. This is gonna be it right
• 49:08
  here operates on value for best. That means...
• 49:22
  You know what I'm saying? That if you find this
• 49:25
  show valuable... Cold hard cash. Alright, should
• 49:35
  I send that to you? Sure, yeah. It's the OJs.
• 49:39
  I love the OJs. The backstabbers. For the love
• 49:41
  of money by the OJs. Great. Yep, I think that's
• 49:45
  perfect. That should be our Schmechel song. That
• 49:46
  is that is our Schmechel song Value for value
• 49:50
  means there are no sponsors on this show. There
• 49:53
  are no place for sponsors on this show We don't
• 49:56
  have them and we never will value for value means
• 49:58
  we are free liberty to say and Stand for what
• 50:03
  we believe in and we won't be beholden to That
• 50:07
  which we should or shouldn't say as per sponsors
• 50:10
  If you find this show valuable in order to keep
• 50:12
  it going in lieu of these sponsors, that means
• 50:16
  send value back to us. And that means time, talent
• 50:18
  or treasure. And no ID show dot com is where
• 50:22
  you go to do all of that. Time and talent are
• 50:25
  huge. You already heard some on the show so far.
• 50:28
  People take it as awesome. Yes. Boots on the
• 50:31
  ground reports that people take the time to send
• 50:33
  in your area of expertise, your inside knowledge.
• 50:36
  Boots on the ground reports are fantastic. We
• 50:38
  greatly appreciate them. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm Don't
• 50:42
  forget to sign up for the emails and if you don't
• 50:43
  get the emails after you sign up Please check
• 50:45
  your spam tell everybody you know Tell your mom
• 50:47
  tell your dad tell your friends tell your enemies
• 50:49
  to check their spam folders and sign up for the
• 50:51
  emails Oh and in case you guys so to follow up
• 50:55
  on last episode about what do we do with all
• 50:57
  those shiny speckles? Well now I have a better
• 50:59
  answer. Apparently we we blow them on Facebook
• 51:01
  ads. That's what we're doing with them right
• 51:03
  now so please give freely and largely, no, generously,
• 51:11
  that's what I want. So that we can reload our
• 51:14
  bank account so that Scott can keep blowing it
• 51:16
  on Facebook ads. The way that shows really spread
• 51:20
  is word of mouth. So that is a huge value add
• 51:24
  that you can do in the time and talent department
• 51:26
  is spread the word, tell people about the show,
• 51:30
  mention it. Ask them, hey, so -and -so who I
• 51:33
  love and adore, do you also want to be a part
• 51:35
  of the... We're not wrong club. No, no, no the
• 51:39
  people who don't suck because everyone else sucks.
• 51:41
  Yes That's right. The people who don't suck club.
• 51:43
  That's the club. I'm come it's a it's a it's
• 51:46
  a working title We're gonna work on the name
• 51:48
  So no ID show comm is where to go to do all that
• 51:50
  and then the treasure portion of time talent
• 51:51
  and treasure is Extremely appreciated to become
• 51:54
  an executive producer of an episode of no ID
• 51:57
  which today is number 13 I considered doing like
• 52:00
  the Oh, should we skip 13 and just go straight
• 52:02
  to episode 14? Like you hear about those office
• 52:05
  buildings. Well, there is no 13th floor, you
• 52:06
  know, that sort of thing. And then I thought,
• 52:08
  no, I'm not a superstitious idiot. This is just
• 52:11
  episode number 13. And something goes terribly
• 52:14
  wrong. My jersey number. So if we skipped it,
• 52:17
  I would have been a little bummed out. Is it
• 52:19
  really a good number? Yeah, it's my jersey number
• 52:22
  when I'm out there playing shooting ball or basketball.
• 52:25
  My two main sports. Yeah, it's a good number.
• 52:28
  Alright, so this is episode 13 and in order to
• 52:31
  become an executive producer of an episode of
• 52:33
  no ID Go to no ID show calm and there are widgets
• 52:37
  there both to contact us and to Send us a treasure
• 52:41
  donation, which is very very very appreciated
• 52:44
  Tell you what the next person to donate will
• 52:47
  get to listen to me whisper Sensually for a minute
• 52:51
  straight whatever words you want me to say. I'll
• 52:54
  give it to you like this How about schmeckle?
• 53:02
  Let's just do a warm up. There you go. It's a
• 53:04
  teaser for you guys. I don't think you want to
• 53:06
  do this to your children, do you? No, no, no.
• 53:10
  This is not fun for the whole family. This is
• 53:12
  an age restricted perk. And yes, for all of the
• 53:16
  age restricted perks and the all ages stuff,
• 53:18
  go to noidshow .com. And thank you in advance.
• 53:29
  Let me read this boots on the ground report before
• 53:31
  we... our second half of show clips. And this
• 53:36
  one is a follow up on the hunting story and our
• 53:40
  deer now banned for life friend who said the
• 53:43
  box with the deer parts was not his despite the
• 53:46
  fact that it has an address on it. This is from
• 53:48
  Levi. And he said, hey, just a heads up. If you
• 53:50
  have any hunting or fishing topics, feel free
• 53:52
  to run them by me. I get to answer all of Paul's
• 53:54
  questions about the banning of night vision and
• 53:55
  drones and trail cameras. So he goes on, he says,
• 53:58
  night vision is obvious. It's already banned.
• 54:01
  And the use of drones for scouting slash hunting
• 54:04
  is obvious to stop, but banning the use of drones
• 54:06
  for recovery is insane. If somebody shot an animal
• 54:10
  and can't find it, a drone with a thermal camera
• 54:12
  would make quick work of finding that animal.
• 54:14
  But no, I guess it's better to let that one rot
• 54:16
  and go kill some more. Yeah, that'd be a great
• 54:19
  idea. And the trail cameras... he says, are now
• 54:24
  equipped with Bluetooth and instant alerts to
• 54:26
  your phone. So somebody can set up and put six
• 54:29
  cameras all around in a half mile radius. And
• 54:31
  then when they get an alert, they're like, Oh,
• 54:32
  camera four just went off. Yep. That's a big
• 54:34
  buck. I'll go that way. And it's basically cheating
• 54:37
  before you had to physically go back out to the
• 54:40
  SD card and take it home and see what animals
• 54:43
  had captured. So, so they're using it to triangulate
• 54:48
  the position of deer. Now it becomes less of
• 54:50
  a hunt and more of just a A video game. That's
• 54:54
  what he's saying. Yep. He concludes. Thank you.
• 54:57
  What was his name? This is Levi. Levi. Thank
• 55:00
  you, Levi. Levi concludes here. By the way, regarding
• 55:03
  the Austin Powers poacher, it seems like only
• 55:07
  a shitty Hollywood executive could write up a
• 55:10
  script where the guy who dumped the body parts
• 55:12
  somehow forgot his name and address were on the
• 55:14
  box. I'd also bet the lifetime ban was due to
• 55:18
  poaching the moose. He probably could have poached
• 55:20
  a bunch of deer and just gotten fined. But the
• 55:22
  moose is what they really crack down on. They
• 55:24
  do not have around with the moose. Correct. Yeah,
• 55:27
  that's where you cross the line. Deer are basically
• 55:29
  vermin up here. I hate them. I lose a car to
• 55:32
  one every other year. In fact, 2026 is a year
• 55:35
  I might lose another one because it's always
• 55:37
  an even year. I don't know why. It's just the
• 55:39
  way it's worked out. Damn deer. But moose, they
• 55:43
  don't bother me. Also, they're I think they're
• 55:45
  like federally protected. So that makes sense.
• 55:48
  Thank you very much Levi for the yeah, thanks,
• 55:52
  dude and actually here there's actually this
• 55:53
  is awesome a lot of boots on the ground stuff
• 55:55
  this episode I'm really tickled. Thanks everybody.
• 55:58
  There's two more and actually because then I
• 56:00
  don't think they pertain to any clips that we're
• 56:02
  gonna do in the second half So I'm just gonna
• 56:03
  read them now Here's one from Jack Jack said
• 56:06
  I think you should consider doing a quick thing
• 56:08
  on the Midtown deli fiasco She finally won against
• 56:11
  the city and got her drive -through back So actually,
• 56:14
  and I need to look, I sort of tried to figure
• 56:16
  out what he was even referring to and I couldn't
• 56:18
  find it. So I think I need to just go get a sandwich
• 56:20
  from Midtown and ask him what's going on. Now
• 56:23
  that place is around the corner from the racketeer.
• 56:24
  Do you know those ladies? Yeah, they made awesome
• 56:28
  sandwiches. If it's the one I'm thinking about
• 56:30
  that was in the parking lot of the My Favorite
• 56:34
  Things antique shop, then those ladies were super
• 56:38
  cool. I liked them a lot. They had Amazing sandwiches.
• 56:41
  They were huge and the price points on them were
• 56:43
  ridiculous It was like 13 or 14 dollars for the
• 56:45
  biggest sandwich you ever saw that was loaded
• 56:47
  with meat I never could figure out how they made
• 56:49
  any money and they were this super cute sweet
• 56:53
  pair of ladies who were just Like full of piss
• 56:55
  and vinegar and awesome at making sandwiches.
• 56:57
  You could tell that they had some practice All
• 57:00
  right. We'll see what we can find. Thanks, Jack,
• 57:01
  for the tip. And then the final boost on the
• 57:03
  ground report is from our homie who is an insider
• 57:07
  with the city, the spook from Spokane. He wrote
• 57:11
  down the coroner. He said, here's the inside
• 57:13
  info on the coroner thing. I'm not sure I'm allowed
• 57:16
  to say much, but the story is not the story.
• 57:18
  The terminated employee drama was just a last
• 57:20
  straw slash excuse to pull the trigger on the
• 57:23
  contract. We had exposure the way that office
• 57:25
  was doing things, like improper transport. not
• 57:28
  identifying bodies prior to sending them for
• 57:30
  autopsy, things that create major liability for
• 57:33
  us. Ah, okay. Well, that makes sense. I mean,
• 57:38
  I had a hunch. I wondered. He goes on to say
• 57:41
  the 2K per autopsy number is accurate. Whether
• 57:45
  we are cost recovering, I don't know, but we
• 57:48
  can likely get it from other nearby counties.
• 57:50
  So just work from other counties. We have lots
• 57:52
  of contracts for service in the region. Vinha
• 57:54
  didn't handle the issue well. That's the Spokane
• 57:57
  corner. But she's amazing at her job. We have
• 58:00
  a pretty new medical examiner's facility, which
• 58:02
  was not cheap by any means. So as usual, whatever
• 58:06
  the mainstream reported was not actually the
• 58:08
  story. I mean, she could be forgiven in that
• 58:11
  sense, because when you're used to dealing with
• 58:12
  dead people, dealing with alive people is a lot
• 58:14
  harder. They talk back, man. You don't go into
• 58:22
  that industry because you want to deal with people,
• 58:24
  with live people. I'm a people person. Companies
• 58:29
  are not great with dealing with the customers.
• 58:32
  I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers
• 58:33
  don't have to. I have people skills. I am good
• 58:37
  at dealing with people. Can't you understand
• 58:39
  that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
• 58:43
  You should have been a coroner. Fun fact it has
• 58:49
  crossed my mind. It had crossed my mind in my
• 58:51
  younger days. It has crossed my mind several
• 58:54
  times My father has a buddy Mike Orchard who
• 59:00
  is in the industry and The guy has a sense of
• 59:07
  humor that just doesn't quit you there's just
• 59:09
  a certain type and I could be that type I don't
• 59:12
  know. I don't know if that's a flex or not But
• 59:15
  you got to have a good sense of humor You know,
• 59:18
  I can picture you pulling open one of those refrigerated
• 59:22
  drawers where the body is laying and you like
• 59:24
  peel down the sheet to expose the face and you
• 59:26
  say something like, you don't look ugly today.
• 59:33
  Is that before or after I open up a different
• 59:37
  frozen space and pull out my six pack of beer
• 59:40
  and crack one open before I start my rounds?
• 59:45
  Here is the dive into HB93, the... $5 ,000 in
• 59:52
  a gold bullion that the state just plunks down
• 59:55
  into your mailbox if you want to put your kids
• 59:57
  in private school. The Idaho Supreme Court heard
• 59:59
  oral arguments today on whether the state's school
• 1:00:01
  choice tax credit program is constitutional.
• 1:00:05
  Attorneys for a coalition of education groups
• 1:00:07
  is challenging the law. The group argues the
• 1:00:09
  program violates the state constitution, which
• 1:00:12
  requires the legislature to establish and maintain
• 1:00:15
  one system of free public. Did you hear that?
• 1:00:18
  Listen again to establish and maintain one system
• 1:00:21
  wrong Wrong says it's a system. This is justice
• 1:00:28
  Colleen's on responding to that exact Part that
• 1:00:32
  that exact language in the Constitution She was
• 1:00:36
  responding to the attorney and that attorney
• 1:00:39
  is Marvin M Smith of Holly Troxell, and that's
• 1:00:43
  the law firm repping the repeal HB93 crowd, which
• 1:00:47
  of course is the teachers unions and et cetera.
• 1:00:49
  More importantly, and specifically they are representing
• 1:00:52
  the NEA, the teachers unions. What did I say?
• 1:00:57
  Oh, you got there. I just, sorry, I didn't realize
• 1:00:59
  you were going to get there. I just said it was
• 1:01:01
  important. It's an important distinction to make
• 1:01:02
  that they are representing the anti HB93 side,
• 1:01:05
  but which is specifically the teachers unions.
• 1:01:08
  The groups that it is. That the that holly troxell
• 1:01:12
  is arguing on behalf of is the committee to protect
• 1:01:16
  and preserve the Idaho Constitution Incorporated
• 1:01:18
  that's an advocacy group focus. Oh, yeah any
• 1:01:20
  constitutional provisions or that's a Self -proclaimed
• 1:01:23
  Mormon women for ethical government. That's another
• 1:01:25
  group and school district number 281 in Laetaw
• 1:01:29
  Commonly referred to as the Moscow School District
• 1:01:31
  and also IE a tracks the statewide teachers union
• 1:01:37
  That tracks the IEA, which Idaho's Idaho Educators
• 1:01:41
  Association, I think is what it is. Education.
• 1:01:43
  Which is tied into the NEA, which is the National
• 1:01:47
  Educators Association. But see, the thing is,
• 1:01:50
  it's beautiful. It should be Educators Association
• 1:01:52
  because at least, I mean, even though I would
• 1:01:55
  argue that they're educators, but it isn't even
• 1:01:57
  that, dude. It's the Idaho Education Association.
• 1:02:00
  So because you hate education if you're against
• 1:02:02
  them. See? Oh, dang right. Yep. Yeah, we've been
• 1:02:06
  over this before. We hate education so much we've
• 1:02:09
  decided to educate our own kids because that's
• 1:02:12
  easier than giving them away to somebody else.
• 1:02:18
  There's a bunch of individuals too. So those
• 1:02:20
  are the groups. And then there's actually individuals
• 1:02:22
  petitioners as well. Jerry Evans, a former Republican,
• 1:02:25
  Idaho superintendent of public. instruction.
• 1:02:28
  Martha Hernandez, just some random public school
• 1:02:31
  teacher. Stephanie Mickelson, a Republican member
• 1:02:34
  of the Idaho House of Representatives, and she
• 1:02:36
  voted against HB93 and joined this this cabal
• 1:02:38
  here. Alexis Morgan, who's a parent on behalf
• 1:02:42
  of herself and her minor children, and another
• 1:02:44
  parent, Christine Anderson, on behalf of hers.
• 1:02:47
  So that is the full list of who the law firm
• 1:02:52
  Holly Troxell is representing, as argued by Marvin
• 1:02:55
  M. Smith. So I think one of the most striking
• 1:03:00
  aspects of that list is one of them is a sitting
• 1:03:03
  legislator. And this actually comes up during
• 1:03:07
  this Supreme Court case. It came up and it was
• 1:03:10
  noted that it's a really bad precedent to set
• 1:03:13
  to be a legislator, lose a vote, and then turn
• 1:03:16
  around and sue the state because you lost the
• 1:03:18
  vote. Man, that's a real problem. They're not
• 1:03:24
  supposed to do that. Like, everybody thinks that
• 1:03:27
  somehow the legislation is full of, I don't know,
• 1:03:30
  people who are above the pettiness of regular
• 1:03:33
  humanity. No, they're not. They're actually worse.
• 1:03:36
  They're the pettiness of humanity, but with power
• 1:03:38
  and a God complex. Oh, you mean our leaders?
• 1:03:42
  Leaders, leaders, leaders. Here is Justice Colleen
• 1:03:45
  Zahn responding to that little twist of language
• 1:03:49
  that is oh, so meaningful. A versus one. Plain
• 1:03:54
  language says it's A. system. And I'm struggling
• 1:03:58
  with your argument because at the time the founders
• 1:04:03
  wrote and the state adopted our Constitution,
• 1:04:08
  Idaho's territorial statutes recognized that
• 1:04:10
  there were public schools and there were private
• 1:04:13
  schools. And I believe the year after or around
• 1:04:16
  that time that they adopted the Constitution,
• 1:04:18
  they also recognized parochial schools. So the
• 1:04:22
  founders, being aware that we had at least three
• 1:04:26
  kinds of schools, only one of which was public.
• 1:04:30
  If they intended to say the state could only
• 1:04:33
  appropriate money to public schools, why wouldn't
• 1:04:38
  they use one system? Now remember, that is the
• 1:04:43
  mainstream media shilling on behalf of those
• 1:04:47
  arguing to repeal this bill. They use one instead
• 1:04:51
  of a the group argues the program violates the
• 1:04:54
  state constitution which requires the legislature
• 1:04:57
  To establish and maintain one system of free
• 1:05:00
  public schools They say the state can't directly
• 1:05:03
  give tax dollars to private schools and shouldn't
• 1:05:06
  be able to do so indirectly either. Attorneys
• 1:05:09
  for the state and the legislature argue the tax
• 1:05:11
  credits don't create any system at all and that
• 1:05:13
  parents simply choose where to spend the money,
• 1:05:16
  whether that's a private school, a tutor or a
• 1:05:18
  bookstore. A decision from the court is expected
• 1:05:21
  in the coming weeks. So one of the big arguments
• 1:05:25
  that cracks me up is accountability. You have
• 1:05:29
  you have statists who. couldn't give a damn where
• 1:05:33
  most of the Schmeckles actually go as long as
• 1:05:35
  it just goes somewhere into government and not
• 1:05:37
  my own pocket. Of course, you know, as long as
• 1:05:39
  the money goes to government, they're happy.
• 1:05:40
  But how it gets spent, where and where, you know,
• 1:05:43
  with who after that, it doesn't really matter.
• 1:05:45
  It's the thought that counts, right? Right, Scott?
• 1:05:46
  It's the thought that counts. Now, all of a sudden,
• 1:05:48
  they care. They care now on this one topic. They
• 1:05:52
  care where the money might be going. And the
• 1:05:55
  one time where it actually matters the least
• 1:05:57
  because the money is now back in the pockets
• 1:05:59
  of the people to whom it belongs. This is when
• 1:06:03
  Democrats, some Republicans, statists in general,
• 1:06:05
  now they care. God forbid you get to do what
• 1:06:09
  you want with your own money. They're also extremely
• 1:06:13
  concerned with what the Constitution says. I'd
• 1:06:16
  like to read very quickly from Article 1, Section
• 1:06:19
  1 of the Idaho State Constitution. acquiring,
• 1:06:31
  possessing, and protecting property, pursuing
• 1:06:34
  happiness, and securing safety. Liberty is inalienable.
• 1:06:41
  Where were you people when the state was shutting
• 1:06:43
  down private businesses? Where were you? You
• 1:06:49
  care so much about the Constitution. Here's Marvin
• 1:06:53
  Smith, the attorney that I mentioned. This little
• 1:06:56
  vignette sums up the entire other side in one
• 1:07:00
  fell swoop. We're trying to get an educated populace.
• 1:07:04
  And the way we do that is we use public funds,
• 1:07:07
  public lands to fund that so that we have an
• 1:07:12
  entire population that has access to the knowledge
• 1:07:15
  that they need to be part of the power and economic
• 1:07:20
  autonomy of a state. And the only way you do
• 1:07:22
  that is by a general uniform. education system
• 1:07:28
  funded by the state. Oh, that's it. That's the
• 1:07:34
  only way you can possibly be done. The only way.
• 1:07:36
  That's the only way. So these are the people
• 1:07:39
  who there's a saying that we have in our libertarian
• 1:07:44
  orbits that is if we allowed the state to teach
• 1:07:48
  our children how to walk, it would be one generation
• 1:07:52
  or less before status would be arguing that without
• 1:07:55
  the state, no one would be able to walk. But
• 1:08:00
  they make the same argument with everything else
• 1:08:02
  education is the biggest one, but it's any any
• 1:08:05
  everything think of everything we know about
• 1:08:08
  life today and everybody goes well wolf if you
• 1:08:12
  know if the government didn't do X What about
• 1:08:16
  why? Well, if the is it important. Well, yeah
• 1:08:19
  well then people would do it and they'd find
• 1:08:21
  a way to do it more efficiently and turn a profit
• 1:08:23
  and People would pay for it because if it's important,
• 1:08:27
  that's what you do If it's not important, what
• 1:08:29
  are you doing putting a gun to people's heads
• 1:08:31
  and forcing them to do it in the first place
• 1:08:32
  then? Yeah, education is the concept of state
• 1:08:39
  run education is only about 140 years old, really
• 1:08:44
  the way we know it. It's the Prussian model.
• 1:08:46
  It was imported over here from Prussia and one
• 1:08:48
  of the main architects of it over here in America,
• 1:08:51
  Horace Mann, who was in some high ranking position
• 1:08:55
  in Massachusetts. I forget exactly what position
• 1:08:58
  he held. And he was a bureaucrat of some kind,
• 1:09:00
  a very self -important one. He was the architect
• 1:09:03
  of state -run education in the US. And he even
• 1:09:07
  said something along the lines of, our cause
• 1:09:12
  will make of the children hostages to our cause.
• 1:09:16
  Like, this is a, it's, oh man, now I'm going
• 1:09:18
  to pull it up. So Horace Mann considered the,
• 1:09:21
  considered the quote unquote father of American
• 1:09:23
  public education, which is just way, way too
• 1:09:26
  nice of a way to put that. Said we who are engaged
• 1:09:30
  in the sacred cause of education are entitled
• 1:09:32
  to look upon all parents as having given hostages
• 1:09:35
  to our cause Yikes, so even at the outset of
• 1:09:41
  this It was openly hostile towards parents and
• 1:09:46
  this is because parents resisted it was a really
• 1:09:48
  big deal of Massachusetts was the first state
• 1:09:50
  to make Going to school compulsory meaning you
• 1:09:54
  didn't have a choice you you had to send your
• 1:09:56
  kids off to school and if you didn't they'd They'd
• 1:09:59
  come and arrest you, take your kids away from
• 1:10:00
  you and put them in a government run school.
• 1:10:02
  And then you had to deal with all the fallout
• 1:10:05
  from that. It was a foreign concept until the
• 1:10:08
  late 1880s, early 1990s. Up until then, everybody
• 1:10:13
  did, you know, what is considered crazy now and
• 1:10:15
  what Mary and I are doing in homeschool. They
• 1:10:17
  homeschooled their kids or trade schools or parochial
• 1:10:20
  schools or what, you know, any other sundry combinations
• 1:10:23
  of life experience and education. And yet we
• 1:10:26
  had a population that largely Despite what we
• 1:10:29
  are told, because this is an absolute cliche
• 1:10:31
  and it flies in the face of true history, we
• 1:10:35
  had a very educated population for the time and
• 1:10:41
  a literate population as well. There is this,
• 1:10:45
  what's the word I want? It's a false narrative
• 1:10:48
  that's been fed to us over the years that somehow
• 1:10:51
  before public education, no one could read and
• 1:10:53
  no one knew anything about anything. And that
• 1:10:55
  couldn't be further from the truth. You got to
• 1:10:58
  be scientifically trained to determine that Yeah,
• 1:11:03
  yeah, or you never know our homeschooling education
• 1:11:06
  might be taminated and the only way you do that
• 1:11:10
  is by a general uniform education system funded
• 1:11:16
  by a one -size -fits -all the state the state
• 1:11:22
  the state Here is a final report. I was actually
• 1:11:27
  blown away to see that Idaho News 6 actually
• 1:11:32
  interviewed a pro -HB93 dad. More than 4 ,600
• 1:11:37
  Idaho families have applied so far, including
• 1:11:40
  Boise parent Ryan Spoon, whose five children
• 1:11:42
  attend a private Christian school. Whether there's
• 1:11:46
  government funding or involved, that's irrelevant
• 1:11:48
  to us. make choices and make sacrificies as necessary
• 1:11:52
  to put our kids in the school that fit our values.
• 1:11:55
  For Spoon, school choice runs deeper than finances.
• 1:11:58
  My first response to those legislators and the
• 1:12:01
  teachers unions and the public school bureaucrats
• 1:12:04
  would be that it's not your money. It belongs
• 1:12:06
  to the parents. These are money that belongs
• 1:12:09
  to these taxpayers and they are simply choosing
• 1:12:13
  where the money goes that is spent on their own
• 1:12:16
  child's education. Can you believe they are?
• 1:12:18
  That guy's an extremist. He's an extremist. Far
• 1:12:21
  right. Far right. His own child's education.
• 1:12:24
  Far right. Supporters say the credit refunds
• 1:12:26
  tax dollars for families not enrolled in public
• 1:12:28
  schools, while opponents argue it still relies
• 1:12:30
  on the same state dollars that fund Idaho's public
• 1:12:33
  school system. That constitutional question comes
• 1:12:35
  from us. Right. They act like we're just in their
• 1:12:40
  way. We're annoying pains in the ass. Just get
• 1:12:43
  out of the way and let us do whatever we want
• 1:12:45
  with your, I mean, our money. It's almost like
• 1:12:47
  they've never seen a property tax statement.
• 1:12:50
  What the hell are they talking about? Everybody
• 1:12:53
  get out your property tax statements and they
• 1:12:55
  break down line by line what your property taxes
• 1:12:58
  go for and a huge chunk of it. Goes for all the
• 1:13:01
  different school bonds and school levies and
• 1:13:04
  all that kind of crap that they and I mean hundreds
• 1:13:06
  and hundreds and hundreds of dollars You know,
• 1:13:08
  I think my property taxes are about $1 ,800 a
• 1:13:11
  year, which you know, it's all relative right
• 1:13:13
  depending on where you are That's cheap depending
• 1:13:14
  on what you believe. That's way too much to me.
• 1:13:16
  That's $1 ,800 too much Because the government
• 1:13:20
  charging me rent over the barrel of a gun to
• 1:13:22
  live in my house is bullshit But I digress two
• 1:13:26
  -thirds of that bill is bonds and levies for
• 1:13:30
  the Sandpoint School District that we don't participate
• 1:13:32
  in. It's my money. This is not a hard concept.
• 1:13:37
  Leave me the fuck alone. Stop taking my money.
• 1:13:39
  Let me use it for my own children. Thank you
• 1:13:42
  very much. who opposes the program, calls the
• 1:13:56
  tax credit a drain on public resources. We need
• 1:13:59
  this money more than ever for public education,
• 1:14:02
  for the health care of Idahoans. This is $50
• 1:14:05
  million going out the door right now to some
• 1:14:09
  of the wealthiest families in the state to subsidize
• 1:14:11
  their private school tuition. And in order to
• 1:14:14
  cover that expense, we are now cutting care to
• 1:14:16
  children with disabilities. Think of the distance
• 1:14:21
  not even think of the children Scott. It's think
• 1:14:23
  of the disabled children Democratic representative,
• 1:14:31
  Atlanta. Where is it? Hold on. We need this money.
• 1:14:33
  We need this money. We need this money Give her
• 1:14:36
  money. God. That's a sound. Give her her money.
• 1:14:39
  They're a private school tuition these people
• 1:14:40
  and in order it's always they say it's about
• 1:14:42
  the children But no, it's it's this it's always
• 1:14:44
  about this money Money, we need this money. We
• 1:14:48
  need the money Give us your money. Going out
• 1:14:53
  the door right now to some of the wealthiest
• 1:14:55
  families in the state to subsidize their private
• 1:14:58
  school tuition. And in order to cover that expense,
• 1:15:01
  we are now cutting care to children with disabilities.
• 1:15:04
  For Spoon, the credit simply reinforces a choice
• 1:15:06
  his family had already made. Is it nice to get
• 1:15:10
  our own tax money back? Yes, of course it is.
• 1:15:13
  Yes. My battle has really been to allow other
• 1:15:15
  people to make the same choice that we already
• 1:15:18
  have the freedom to. The case was filed by the
• 1:15:21
  Idaho Education Association, several public school
• 1:15:23
  parents, and Republican lawmaker Representative
• 1:15:26
  Stephanie Jo Mickelson. It names the Idaho State
• 1:15:28
  Tax Commission and the state of Idaho and asks
• 1:15:31
  the court to strike down the credit as unconstitutional,
• 1:15:33
  arguing it violates Idaho's requirement to fund
• 1:15:35
  a, quote, uniform and thorough public school
• 1:15:38
  system. Attorneys defending the law say the legislature
• 1:15:41
  has broad authority to set tax policy and reimburse
• 1:15:44
  private education expenses. After the justices
• 1:15:47
  hear arguments on the case, the ruling could
• 1:15:49
  determine how far Idaho can go in expanding school
• 1:15:52
  choice. Further, I hope. The state. We need this
• 1:15:56
  money. The state. We need this money. The state.
• 1:16:01
  We'll see what happens. So a word on the street
• 1:16:03
  is that the anti -HP93 folks, the ones who were
• 1:16:08
  suing, did not have a great day in court. That
• 1:16:11
  is the word, is that overwhelmingly they did
• 1:16:13
  not have a great day in court, actually, and
• 1:16:15
  were rebuffed. time and time again, which is
• 1:16:18
  encouraging. I don't have a lot of faith in the
• 1:16:20
  Supreme Court. Justices, by and large, they're
• 1:16:23
  pretty far to the left. But in this case, I think
• 1:16:26
  they're seeing, whether they like it or not,
• 1:16:30
  the way that HB93 was done, the authors of it
• 1:16:33
  knew this was coming. They knew this was going
• 1:16:35
  to happen. So they did it in a really good way.
• 1:16:38
  It's hard to challenge. Kudos to them for the
• 1:16:40
  foresight there. I love it. I love it. I hope
• 1:16:43
  it is what they are afraid of those on the other
• 1:16:46
  side. They're afraid it will open the door to
• 1:16:48
  more school choice. That's what I hope it will
• 1:16:49
  do. One hundred percent. And that's what this
• 1:16:51
  is about. The money is the big one. The power
• 1:16:54
  is the other big one. You know, they're afraid
• 1:16:56
  to lose the money and they will. People keep
• 1:16:59
  choosing to exit their system and they should.
• 1:17:01
  Damn it. And they're afraid to lose the power
• 1:17:03
  that comes along with that. And man, there's
• 1:17:05
  a ton of power. Also, side note, you know, what's
• 1:17:08
  interesting is when statists and leftists Fight
• 1:17:13
  for really anything. It's almost always to force
• 1:17:17
  everyone into their box To the state uniform
• 1:17:22
  You know get into this box also pay for you this
• 1:17:26
  box pay for the handcuffs that keep you in here
• 1:17:28
  You must be a part of this or die or we you know
• 1:17:33
  Kidnap you and take you to jail or maim or kill
• 1:17:35
  you if you resist, you know comply or die Meanwhile
• 1:17:38
  guys like mr. Spoon myself you and those of our
• 1:17:41
  ilk We're always fighting for the exact opposite.
• 1:17:45
  Nobody said you couldn't pay more taxes if you
• 1:17:48
  don't want to. Nobody said you can't go to public
• 1:17:50
  school if you don't want to. All we're trying
• 1:17:52
  to do is fight for the freedom of others to do
• 1:17:56
  as they please and exit the system, not pound
• 1:17:59
  you into the box and force you to stay there.
• 1:18:02
  You ever notice that? There's a huge distinction.
• 1:18:05
  We're fighting to break free. They're fighting
• 1:18:07
  to contain, oppress, and repress. He's absolutely
• 1:18:11
  right. Steel. There's also the part where Article
• 1:18:15
  One, Section One mentions that liberty is inalienable.
• 1:18:19
  Does anyone? Is anybody home? Oh, they don't
• 1:18:23
  care about that. Hello? Anybody? I don't care
• 1:18:26
  about that. Okay. All right. So HB 93, we will,
• 1:18:33
  no ID will continue to follow that story as it
• 1:18:36
  unfolds. I realize I haven't done, I didn't do
• 1:18:40
  Scott's shots after the value for value break.
• 1:18:43
  Yes, dagger. I'm ready. Hold on, let me stand
• 1:18:47
  up. It's salvageable. I gotta get on my Adidas
• 1:18:49
  tracksuit, hold on. Okay, let's go. Oh yeah.
• 1:18:55
  Send it. That's right, gotta limber up, Scott.
• 1:19:06
  Time for the knockout blow. Let's go. All right.
• 1:19:12
  So this is so perfect. What I have for you today
• 1:19:14
  is so perfect. And you actually leaned right
• 1:19:18
  into it without even knowing that you had leaned
• 1:19:20
  right into it with the opening salvo today. The
• 1:19:23
  preamble actually stumbled right across what
• 1:19:26
  I was going to talk to you about for Scott shots
• 1:19:28
  today. So I know you've been traveling down to
• 1:19:31
  California, a place everybody always wants to
• 1:19:34
  go. You know, lovely place. Lots of lots of lovely
• 1:19:36
  people down there. The weather and. Airlines
• 1:19:40
  are always a great time. You know, lots of lovely
• 1:19:42
  people that you're shoved into a metal tube with
• 1:19:44
  and whatnot. And I knew you were gonna run into
• 1:19:47
  the mask, the mask holes. So I dialed this up
• 1:19:51
  for you. Just a little bit of trivia. This is
• 1:19:53
  really more of an ask Scott, but you know, Scott
• 1:19:55
  shots, whatever. We're gonna roll it. When did
• 1:19:59
  airlines stop requiring masks on US commercial
• 1:20:04
  flights? And it was following a federal judge's
• 1:20:08
  ruling. A federal judge had to rule on it to
• 1:20:11
  void the national transportation mask mandate
• 1:20:14
  that had come down from on high. And that was
• 1:20:16
  also supported, by the way, by the major airlines.
• 1:20:19
  And it didn't get rid of masks entirely. It just,
• 1:20:22
  quote unquote, allowed or forced, depending on
• 1:20:26
  your perspective, American, Delta, United, Southwest
• 1:20:29
  to make masks optional. So what month? What year
• 1:20:36
  what year will be for sure what year I think
• 1:20:38
  you can get this and then what month if you're
• 1:20:40
  feeling for frisky Well, the thing is is I'm
• 1:20:44
  I'm known in my Circles for being sort of weird
• 1:20:48
  as maybe as part of my tisms thing where I'm
• 1:20:51
  really good at month and year of events, including
• 1:20:54
  in like, not even like in other people's lives.
• 1:20:56
  Like my buddy would be like, Oh yeah, no, I went
• 1:20:58
  to that party. Like, and you, you know, at the
• 1:21:00
  what's -her -face's wedding. I'm like, no, no,
• 1:21:03
  you had already moved then. Like you, you moved
• 1:21:05
  in August of 2009. And they were like, how the
• 1:21:07
  hell do you know that? And like, I don't know
• 1:21:09
  why I know that, but I do. So I can remember
• 1:21:13
  the videos where like, you know, there's some,
• 1:21:16
  some passenger in seven a is filming and like
• 1:21:19
  they came over the loud speaker and they're like,
• 1:21:20
  okay, you can officially. And then like everyone
• 1:21:23
  threw their masks up into the air. Like they
• 1:21:24
  were graduating, you know, I remember like a
• 1:21:26
  graduation. Yeah. Yeah. There was like a whole
• 1:21:28
  spat spate of them. Is it spatter spate? Spate
• 1:21:32
  spate. Yeah. Cause spats a fight. Okay. I'm going
• 1:21:35
  to say my recollection is that was. like March
• 1:21:40
  or April of 2022, right at the switch from when,
• 1:21:46
  yes, because overnight it went from, it was Ukraine,
• 1:21:49
  Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. They started hammering
• 1:21:51
  the Ukraine algo overnight. Everything switched
• 1:21:55
  from COVID to Ukraine. And I'm pretty sure that
• 1:21:57
  was March of 2022. You are, you are a man in
• 1:22:02
  the words of the great Ben Kenobi. He's more
• 1:22:04
  machine now than man. April 18th, 2022. There
• 1:22:13
  it is. Yeah. Damn. I am. I'm actually very impressed.
• 1:22:17
  Well done. I mean, I knew you'd get close, but
• 1:22:20
  hot damn Scott. That's impressive. And you also
• 1:22:22
  are right. Immediately. It switched from masks
• 1:22:25
  to Ukraine. Isn't that crazy? That was only three
• 1:22:28
  years ago. Oh, four, I guess now almost four,
• 1:22:31
  almost four. It was a little over two years after
• 1:22:34
  two weeks to slow the spread. So they just, they
• 1:22:36
  just misspoke. They meant two years to slow the
• 1:22:38
  spread. So the campaign glitch, it was a typo.
• 1:22:43
  And yeah, I just like, I, I, I, for whatever
• 1:22:45
  reason, I'm just wired to know these date stamps.
• 1:22:48
  I don't, I don't take any credit for it. It's
• 1:22:50
  just something that's innate and it's not even
• 1:22:52
  necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it's sort
• 1:22:54
  of like, well, I don't know why I know that.
• 1:22:55
  And it's weird that I do. In this case, I mean,
• 1:22:58
  I was following along just because because every
• 1:23:00
  day I would wake up and be like, I cannot believe
• 1:23:03
  I'm living in this reality. And you know, one
• 1:23:05
  of the things that's easy to forget, because
• 1:23:07
  now we're out sort of, well, I say on the other
• 1:23:10
  side, except we're really not because as I just
• 1:23:11
  reported, plenty of people are forever face hiders.
• 1:23:14
  But there was no guarantee that any of that was
• 1:23:19
  ever going to end. you know like we know now
• 1:23:22
  what that end date was but when it's september
• 1:23:25
  of 2021 and it's just day after day after week
• 1:23:27
  after month after like it doesn't who the hell
• 1:23:30
  knows when it's going to end correct yeah and
• 1:23:35
  it got a little touch and go there for a while
• 1:23:38
  where we thought is this it is this this our
• 1:23:40
  new reality is this I'm telling you, you would
• 1:23:43
  see stuff like, you know, like the, the, the,
• 1:23:46
  like a quote educator would be like, you know,
• 1:23:48
  with all the little masked up kids, we wear our
• 1:23:50
  mask to school. We wear our masks. They're like
• 1:23:53
  doing, they're like, they're training them up.
• 1:23:55
  They're crate training them. So, I mean, there
• 1:23:57
  was absolutely, it could have easily just gone
• 1:24:00
  on in perpetuity and it did two years is a very
• 1:24:03
  long time. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. And there's
• 1:24:09
  been hints of it coming back. Well, they've tried
• 1:24:13
  a few times. They've tried it many times before
• 1:24:16
  the COVID thing. They tried it with the swine
• 1:24:18
  flu and the SARS and the bird flu and the Zika.
• 1:24:21
  They tried that exact playbook a bunch of times.
• 1:24:24
  It caught on and became a mass psychosis event
• 1:24:27
  in 2020, but it wasn't like they didn't try to
• 1:24:30
  pull start that engine a bunch of times over
• 1:24:32
  the years. They tried it subsequently a bunch
• 1:24:34
  of times too. They did it with monkeypox, which
• 1:24:36
  then became mpox. but then they realized that
• 1:24:39
  too many people realized that that only applied
• 1:24:41
  to gay dudes. What else did they try? I didn't
• 1:24:44
  go over so well. I liked swine flu. Swine flu
• 1:24:47
  was my favorite. Just because the jokes were
• 1:24:50
  limitless. It was amazing. And you've heard it
• 1:24:54
  with, too. You even heard it a little on this
• 1:24:55
  show with the influenza and they try that all
• 1:24:59
  the time, too. So, yeah, the notion of them wanting
• 1:25:01
  to keep it up and make it a forever thing. And
• 1:25:03
  to some extent, it is. I mean, it is because,
• 1:25:06
  like I said, plenty of people have never given
• 1:25:08
  it up and never will. Well, funny thing about
• 1:25:12
  all of those, the SARS, bird flu, swine flu,
• 1:25:15
  influenza, COVID -19, COVID -87, whatever, whatever,
• 1:25:19
  whatever. Omicron, Delta. Yup. You got it. You
• 1:25:23
  know where I was headed. You're on it. It's like,
• 1:25:25
  it will always be with us, always and forever
• 1:25:27
  in some way, shape or form, some strain. It's
• 1:25:30
  an evergreen topic. And so there will always
• 1:25:32
  be the looming threat of, you know, Maybe, maybe
• 1:25:35
  a particularly nasty one pops up and then they're
• 1:25:38
  going to try to make us do it all over again.
• 1:25:40
  Right. And the, the notion of, I guess, many
• 1:25:44
  people in the year of our Lord to ought to, Oh,
• 1:25:48
  became aware of disease. Like, Oh my God, disease
• 1:25:51
  is a thing. Holy crap. Where were you when you
• 1:25:55
  first learned about germs? I was 35 and it was
• 1:25:58
  2020. Wearing a mask. Let's move on to the last
• 1:26:03
  couple of clips for this week's show. This will
• 1:26:06
  go a little lighter so I don't feel so bad as
• 1:26:08
  we come to the conclusion like I have the last
• 1:26:10
  couple of weeks where I'm like, wow, this is
• 1:26:11
  just a nothing but a Endless black pill hole
• 1:26:15
  and I know I don't know that Yeah, I listen back
• 1:26:18
  to the last well I listen back to all of them
• 1:26:20
  mainly just to critique myself and I thought
• 1:26:22
  they were thought they were all right They weren't
• 1:26:24
  as dark. They weren't as dark listening back
• 1:26:26
  to them as they felt doing them. I promise you
• 1:26:28
  that I don't know if you've listened to them,
• 1:26:29
  but You know, it does feel that way. Like you
• 1:26:32
  you don't how you how we feel actually executing
• 1:26:36
  in the moment is not necessarily how it reads
• 1:26:39
  on the other side. So I'm with you there. Maybe
• 1:26:41
  it just feels darker than it is. But in any case,
• 1:26:43
  I really wanted to air on the light side here
• 1:26:45
  as we end this week's show. So here are a couple
• 1:26:48
  of good ones. Firefighters from three North Idaho
• 1:26:50
  jurisdictions could receive the Idaho Medal of
• 1:26:53
  Honor after the ambush attack on Canfield Mountain
• 1:26:55
  last June. Well, the Idaho Medal of Honor nomination
• 1:26:58
  is meant to shine light on four firefighters
• 1:27:01
  for their bravery, selflessness, and for some,
• 1:27:05
  the ultimate sacrifice during the response of
• 1:27:08
  the ambush attack on Canfield Mountain. Leaders
• 1:27:12
  in North Idaho's firefighting communities say
• 1:27:14
  they have nominated four individuals for the
• 1:27:17
  Idaho Medal of Honor. The nominees include Coeur
• 1:27:20
  d 'Alene battalion chief John Morrison, Kootenai
• 1:27:23
  battalion chief Frank Harwood, firefighter Dave
• 1:27:26
  Tistall, and Northern Lakes captain Fritz Wiedenhoff.
• 1:27:30
  Fire officials say Morrison and Harwood made
• 1:27:32
  the ultimate sacrifice to protect their community.
• 1:27:35
  Both were shot and killed while responding to
• 1:27:38
  a fire on Canfield Mountain. Officials say Tisdall
• 1:27:41
  and Wietenhoff's actions prevented other first
• 1:27:44
  responders from entering the active threat zone,
• 1:27:47
  likely preventing other lives lost. Now we are
• 1:27:51
  told the Idaho Medal of Honor Commission is supposed
• 1:27:53
  to make their decision on February 10th. It'll
• 1:27:57
  be hard to imagine them not granting them the
• 1:28:00
  Medal of Honor. Like, no, we've rendered a decision
• 1:28:04
  and we're against it. Next. Oh man, come back
• 1:28:10
  when it's an even worse tragedy, then we'll consider
• 1:28:12
  it. No, that's, yeah, good for them. That's a,
• 1:28:16
  that's a feel good story for sure. I have to
• 1:28:21
  put away my conspiracy theory tinfoil hat for
• 1:28:23
  a minute, I suppose. But cause really what I
• 1:28:25
  want to talk about, the thing I want to talk
• 1:28:27
  about is, is the event itself and how quickly
• 1:28:30
  it popped up and how quickly it went away and
• 1:28:33
  how you don't, you know, we never really heard
• 1:28:35
  anything about it. There really weren't any answers.
• 1:28:38
  There really wasn't. Everybody had lots of theories,
• 1:28:40
  but it remains a curiosity that everybody has
• 1:28:45
  already kind of forgotten about, except for the
• 1:28:47
  people who were directly affected. Well, that's
• 1:28:50
  a red flag, isn't it? It makes me think of the
• 1:28:52
  Vegas shooting, and it's a story for - Would
• 1:28:54
  be in my book. 15 seconds, and then whoop, it's
• 1:28:56
  everybody. We're gonna pull the Men in Black
• 1:29:00
  mind eraser flashbang thing on the populace,
• 1:29:02
  and we'll algo you into something else to think
• 1:29:05
  about. Yeah, it has a very similar feeling actually
• 1:29:09
  in some ways a very the whole thing has a very
• 1:29:11
  similar feeling I mean you have a lone actor
• 1:29:13
  you have For lack of a better term. I know this
• 1:29:16
  is not the proper term, but you know assault
• 1:29:18
  rifle style weapons Obviously, you know don't
• 1:29:21
  know nobody flame me on that. Please. I'm a pro
• 1:29:23
  2a guy So I'm not over here going to you got
• 1:29:25
  a machine gun, but he had you know, they had
• 1:29:28
  AR style weapons and start Shooting down on the
• 1:29:33
  people and of course the biggest one was like
• 1:29:35
  40 some odd people But both of them were in situations.
• 1:29:38
  It was like what were they doing there? How did
• 1:29:40
  they get there? How did the held all that? Yeah,
• 1:29:42
  a lot of it just doesn't add up and then just
• 1:29:45
  Here I tried to do a feel -good story and we
• 1:29:50
  took a dark dog crap. I ruined it didn't I know
• 1:29:52
  but I did well I have questions Why are you the
• 1:29:56
  way that you are? Honestly, every time I try
• 1:29:59
  to do something fun or exciting, you make it
• 1:30:03
  not that way. I hate so much about the things
• 1:30:10
  that you choose to be. Paul is the Toby of no
• 1:30:15
  ID. I am the Toby of no ID. I was HR at times
• 1:30:23
  for the racketeer, which was hilarious and a
• 1:30:25
  nightmare for everybody else. Paul was known
• 1:30:28
  for like, you know pinching his employees butts
• 1:30:30
  and stuff, but they were all dudes I was mainly
• 1:30:34
  known for pinching my own butt. Thank you very
• 1:30:35
  much. I keep my hands to myself I'm more of a
• 1:30:39
  emotional Wounds type kind of guy, you know,
• 1:30:42
  I'd like it's harder to prove in court and those
• 1:30:45
  scars never heal So very much into verbal abuse
• 1:30:48
  and emotional abuse not physical abuse. It's
• 1:30:50
  too much work easier proof The racketeer employees
• 1:30:54
  were known for having eating disorders. So now
• 1:30:55
  I'm finally making the connection Why do you
• 1:30:59
  think I lost so much weight when I was working
• 1:31:00
  there? Well, it has been the warmest winter on
• 1:31:04
  record since 1934 and the lowest snowpack recorded
• 1:31:07
  since the 1980s here in Idaho. Not only is the
• 1:31:11
  lack of snow affecting tourism, business and
• 1:31:13
  recreation, but it's also a major concern for
• 1:31:16
  the state's irrigation system, agriculture and
• 1:31:19
  a wildfire season. A snowpack is the layer of
• 1:31:22
  snow that builds up in Idaho's mountains during
• 1:31:24
  the winter acting as a. Hey, did you hear that?
• 1:31:28
  that builds up in Idaho's mountains during. Oh
• 1:31:30
  my goodness. Mountains during the winter. I wonder
• 1:31:33
  how old she is. It did see it was that so honed.
• 1:31:38
  A snowpack is the layer of snow that builds up
• 1:31:40
  in Idaho's mountains during the winter, acting
• 1:31:42
  as the state's natural water storage system.
• 1:31:46
  As temperatures warm in the spring and summer,
• 1:31:48
  that snow slowly melts, feeding rivers, reservoirs
• 1:31:51
  and the irrigation canals across the state. We
• 1:31:54
  like her. kind of in the mountains. supports
• 1:31:58
  everything from a drinking water supplies to
• 1:32:02
  wildfire prevention, helpi cooler and less prone
• 1:32:06
  to Idaho's dry months. Idaho says, especially
• 1:32:11
  in norther are a concern not just bec but also
• 1:32:16
  because of the w an extremely abnormal yea had
• 1:32:21
  this kind of a warm Did you hear the beginning
• 1:32:25
  of the report? What has been the warmest winter
• 1:32:27
  on record since 1934? Warmest winter on record
• 1:32:32
  since 1934. So guess what happened in 1933? You'll
• 1:32:37
  never guess. What happened? Prohibition. Wasn't
• 1:32:45
  it repealed in 1933? Yeah, that's why it was
• 1:32:48
  the warmest. There's lots of beer to drink. We
• 1:32:53
  need some warm weather. Nobody could feel how
• 1:32:54
  cold it was. Right. Not just because of the low
• 1:32:58
  snowpack, but also because of the warm temperatures.
• 1:33:01
  It's an extremely abnormal year. We've never
• 1:33:03
  had this kind of a warm temperature before. Except
• 1:33:06
  for when it's the warmest winter. He doesn't
• 1:33:09
  know that. That poor guy. You're beat. It's the
• 1:33:12
  warmest winter as a local. I can confirm, sir.
• 1:33:16
  So I might even have said something. Little bit
• 1:33:19
  hyperbolic like that and like, you know, Scott
• 1:33:22
  you go who wouldn't you know is the snow and
• 1:33:24
  I go? Oh, well, it's the bet the lowest I've
• 1:33:26
  ever seen ever is you know, and that's true unprecedented
• 1:33:30
  snow I've ever seen so I would because Idaho
• 1:33:34
  didn't exist before I was born I would have naturally
• 1:33:36
  assumed this is probably the warmest and lowest
• 1:33:39
  it's ever been But whatever I'm not gonna pick
• 1:33:42
  on that guy. He's not I mean when he is technically
• 1:33:45
  wrong, but he's not far off I just they do and
• 1:33:47
  it is a problem They do this, you know, I'm kicking
• 1:33:50
  in on it because this is part of the global warming
• 1:33:53
  slash climate change framing and propaganda.
• 1:33:56
  Oh, you think that's where he's coming from?
• 1:33:58
  I know it is. And if it isn't consciously, the
• 1:34:01
  sort of language that is coming flying out of
• 1:34:05
  his mouth is because of that algo training on
• 1:34:08
  that sort of language. It's the warmest blank,
• 1:34:10
  it's the coldest blank on record since... fill
• 1:34:14
  -in -the -blank year. So you pick whatever year
• 1:34:17
  that thing that you want to highlight started
• 1:34:19
  at, 1982, 1956, 1933, whatever the number is,
• 1:34:23
  and then you say, it's the warmest on record
• 1:34:24
  since then. It's catastrophizing language, and
• 1:34:28
  it's used deliberately, whether this guy knows
• 1:34:29
  it or not. That's what's going on. No, that's
• 1:34:32
  a good call. You're 100 % correct, and I was
• 1:34:35
  too busy giving you the benefit of the doubt
• 1:34:37
  to pick up on that. Oh, come on, you should know
• 1:34:39
  better than that, dude. I know. Remember, everyone
• 1:34:42
  else is an idiot. Remember? Come on. I guess
• 1:34:46
  I just getting soft in my old age. It's at least
• 1:34:50
  the 1980s. This is really kind of an unprecedented
• 1:34:54
  situation. Now what's interesting this year is
• 1:34:57
  that the precipitation is actually above average,
• 1:34:59
  but the temperatures are so warm that a snowpack
• 1:35:02
  really isn't accumulating. The issue has definitely
• 1:35:05
  not been precipitation as I, as we up here in
• 1:35:09
  Tork Fork can attest. There's been Plenty of
• 1:35:12
  precipitation, plenty of water. Just makes its
• 1:35:15
  way to the lowest spot really quick, which is
• 1:35:17
  a problem. We do need more snowpack though. But
• 1:35:21
  hey, take heart. We got two inches today. Before
• 1:35:24
  we recorded, we got two inches up here. I don't
• 1:35:26
  know about you lowly plebes down in the lowlands,
• 1:35:28
  but up here in the high mountains, we got in
• 1:35:31
  the mountains. We live up kind of in the mountains.
• 1:35:35
  Yeah, and you got snow. I realize I've just done
• 1:35:37
  it. We did get a little dusting, but it's all
• 1:35:39
  gone now already, because on account of the unprecedented
• 1:35:42
  warm temperatures that were totally presidented,
• 1:35:44
  but just not for a long unprecedented time. Right.
• 1:35:48
  No, that makes sense. I'm tracking. I'm tracking.
• 1:35:50
  Let's conclude this week's no ID episode 13 with
• 1:35:55
  a total just. Empty calories good times. I want
• 1:36:00
  to leave my desk here feeling mighty fine. Okay
• 1:36:03
  as Idahoans I gotta say we don't ask for much
• 1:36:06
  right? We just want good roads a reliable truck
• 1:36:09
  and maybe eight characters to tell the world
• 1:36:12
  who we are But that's where things get a little
• 1:36:14
  complicated if you have driven behind a car and
• 1:36:17
  thought how would the world did that thing get
• 1:36:19
  approved. They must have gotten lucky because
• 1:36:22
  a lot of the requested plates don't actually
• 1:36:24
  make it onto the car. Between January 1st and
• 1:36:26
  December 31st, Idaho rejected hundreds of personalized
• 1:36:30
  plates, 852 to be exact. So let's take a look
• 1:36:34
  at them. 0 -0 -0 -4 -20 submitted for a kid's
• 1:36:39
  birthday and 4 -20 -20 an anniversary. How sentimental.
• 1:36:44
  Both projected for allegedly celebrating something
• 1:36:46
  the state prefers not to be celebrated. We know
• 1:36:50
  Idaho loves its potatoes, but maybe not that
• 1:36:53
  much. Baked, as in baked potato, was rejected.
• 1:36:57
  So was S -L -A -P -A -H -0, which means Steve
• 1:37:01
  loves potatoes. Then there's the bodily functions,
• 1:37:05
  which is extensive. All fart. One farted. I be
• 1:37:11
  farting. Got to poop. Need to pee. I know this
• 1:37:16
  message was clear. Who thinks these are great
• 1:37:18
  ideas? Just don't advertise them. Someone tried
• 1:37:21
  to explain pee -pee. That's what a granddaughter
• 1:37:25
  calls her grandpa. Even if it's your family,
• 1:37:27
  it's not gonna slide. Just like seven F -N -K
• 1:37:31
  -I -D -Z, which means seven fun kids because
• 1:37:34
  they have quite the packed van. or 0fxsgvn for
• 1:37:40
  Xander, Sarah, and Gavin. There's bdasm0n for
• 1:37:46
  Band Dance Archery Swim Mom, and this one, Fatty,
• 1:37:50
  said to be a daughter's name. Um, I think we
• 1:37:53
  should chat about this, but it was rejected for
• 1:37:55
  being an insult, which I agree with the state
• 1:37:57
  on that one. And 11 iterations of plates like
• 1:38:00
  these. D -E -E -Z -N -T -5, they stock nuts and
• 1:38:04
  bolts for work. D -Z -Z -N -U -T, named after
• 1:38:08
  their dog Dez and cat Nuz. Different spellings,
• 1:38:12
  but same outcome. Rejected for referencing intimate
• 1:38:15
  body parts. Business has tried too. Nutbiz, because
• 1:38:19
  they grow and manage almond orchards. Denied
• 1:38:24
  IDAHOE1, an excavation company. Denied 1DAH0E,
• 1:38:30
  because they make a yard tool called the Idaho.
• 1:38:33
  Hard pass. BUTSTFF, which goes with their business
• 1:38:37
  brand. Absolutely not. And then there are the
• 1:38:41
  plates that tried to be wholesome, but just couldn't
• 1:38:43
  quite make it through. Like 00B's. A Boise State
• 1:38:48
  plate, because go Broncos, and a tribute to a
• 1:38:51
  mom who is allergic to bees. Well, that's rejected
• 1:38:54
  for intimate body parts. Some plates weren't
• 1:38:57
  so subtle, like this one. No. This one? Absolutely
• 1:39:02
  not. And this one. H -A -L -F -A -5 -5, a cancer
• 1:39:07
  survivor story, which, if true, I feel like that
• 1:39:10
  should be one of the only ones that gets a pass.
• 1:39:12
  All of those were denied because Idaho doesn't
• 1:39:14
  do nuance on license plates. Even the ag community
• 1:39:18
  wasn't safe. Branch names like F -Caw -F, Farm
• 1:39:23
  -T -R -D, a nickname for the farm truck, and
• 1:39:26
  M -U -V -B -T -C -H for moving cows, all not
• 1:39:30
  making it to market. But out of all of them,
• 1:39:33
  this is my personal favorite. Y zero U DTF. You
• 1:39:37
  down to fish? Are you? You want to catch something?
• 1:39:44
  Are you down to fish? Are you DTF? I remember
• 1:39:49
  one of my favorites. I didn't see it in person.
• 1:39:52
  I saw a picture of it and it was it was a California
• 1:39:54
  plate and it just looked like a random It actually
• 1:39:58
  looked like just like a state assigned random
• 1:39:59
  number. But when looked in a mirror, like when
• 1:40:02
  you like a rear view mirror, side mirror, it
• 1:40:04
  said has hole because it was like, you know,
• 1:40:08
  the A S S was like a five, five H zero at like,
• 1:40:13
  it, it just didn't look like anything unless
• 1:40:15
  you feel it in a mirror and in a mirror, it was
• 1:40:16
  just nice asshole. That's, that's clever. And
• 1:40:20
  the DB didn't care. None of them compare with
• 1:40:23
  my buddy, Jordan Curry and what he's done with
• 1:40:26
  his license plate. He found a way to get taxation
• 1:40:30
  is theft on his license plate Really? It's not
• 1:40:33
  the whole phrase obviously, but it's if I remember
• 1:40:36
  right it's like T X and T like FT or something
• 1:40:45
  like that I can't remember you get seven letters
• 1:40:47
  and how he did it was it was it worked It actually
• 1:40:50
  worked see that's the thing the the vanity plates
• 1:40:52
  have to they're like Halloween costumes where
• 1:40:54
  if any explanation whatsoever is required. It
• 1:40:57
  doesn't work It has to read at a glance. Correct.
• 1:41:00
  And he figured it out. I wish I had the picture
• 1:41:02
  so I could go off of it, but it was perfect and
• 1:41:04
  it worked. And that is it's the only time I might
• 1:41:07
  consider actually spending extra money on a vanity
• 1:41:09
  plate because that is the ultimate hilarity is
• 1:41:11
  and he's in it. He is an anarcho capitalist just
• 1:41:13
  like I am. So we did give him a rash of hell
• 1:41:17
  for me. Like you, you spent extra money. You
• 1:41:19
  gave the government more money to get that vanity
• 1:41:22
  plate. And he goes, I know it's ironic, but I
• 1:41:25
  couldn't help myself. The state. Take my money
• 1:41:29
  so I can make fun of you. Oh, and let me ask
• 1:41:30
  you for your permission, by the way, and hope
• 1:41:32
  you don't reject it. Yeah, well, Jordan, he fully
• 1:41:36
  went into it eyes wide open. He understands the
• 1:41:38
  irony. That dude, he's cool. I feel like I'm
• 1:41:43
  bizarro Jordan Curie because wasn't he your co
• 1:41:49
  -host when you ventured into podcast land in
• 1:41:51
  yesteryear? Correct. Yes, that is right. Actually,
• 1:41:54
  when we did the short lived podcasts, I think
• 1:41:57
  we had six episodes and I think we referred to
• 1:42:00
  it as and Capistan if memory serves. Yes, I was
• 1:42:05
  a great podcast. I listened to some episodes
• 1:42:07
  of it when I was first talking to you about this
• 1:42:08
  and Capistan radio, wasn't it? Yeah, that's right.
• 1:42:12
  I sent them to you because I wanted you to see
• 1:42:14
  some of my past work to make sure you were going
• 1:42:16
  into this partnership eyes wide open and you
• 1:42:19
  knew what you were getting. Ad, you didn't run
• 1:42:21
  away, so I guess jokes on you. Yeah, in Cabo
• 1:42:25
  San radio. That might be my favorite sound bite.
• 1:42:33
  If I may be so vain. You got to send that to
• 1:42:35
  me because my wife would get a kick out of that.
• 1:42:38
  Your wife, yeah. Who's used to this sort of,
• 1:42:40
  this is what it's like to be married to Paul.
• 1:42:42
  You don't look ugly today. How do I look in this
• 1:42:45
  dress? No, no, no. No, podcasts and marriage
• 1:42:49
  are two different worlds. Never shall the two
• 1:42:52
  meet or co -mingle. Okay, thank you guys for
• 1:42:58
  checking out episode number 13 of No ID. Please
• 1:43:01
  remember us at noidshow .com. Time, talent, and
• 1:43:05
  treasure, the value for value model. And until
• 1:43:08
  episode 14 from Post Falls, I'm Scott. It was
• 1:43:11
  a hell of a good time, guys. Thanks for sticking
• 1:43:13
  with us. From the Clark Fork Castle, I'm Paul
• 1:43:15
  Banducci. Taxation is theft. We should build
• 1:43:22
  a wall and make California pay for it.
