  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey, welcome back to No
• 0:27
  ID. Scott? Hello, Internet. I'm Paul. We're back.
• 0:33
  We are back. We promised weekly. So here we are
• 0:36
  by the hair of our chinny chin chin up on 20
• 0:40
  foot ladders 20 minutes ago so I hear yeah well
• 0:43
  that's my fault today the last couple days turned
• 0:46
  into I was having flashbacks to 2020 when I couldn't
• 0:50
  go a week without something falling off of my
• 0:52
  house and uh this the start of this week has
• 0:54
  been like that as well at a fridge a fridge and
• 0:58
  a freezer decide to sort of refreeze and thaw
• 1:00
  out and refreeze and thaw out overnight and then
• 1:03
  uh warp the floor beneath it so that was cool
• 1:05
  had to deal with that. And then as soon as I
• 1:07
  got the fridge back into place and all hooked
• 1:09
  up to the water and the electric and everything
• 1:11
  again, and it was like, ah, thank God that's
• 1:12
  done with and the floors only marginally damaged.
• 1:15
  Then one of my kids comes in and goes, dad, something
• 1:17
  fell off the side of the house. Like, no. So
• 1:22
  we had to get up on a ladder and reattach it
• 1:24
  with high winds. Last night, I'm assuming that's
• 1:27
  what knocked it off. It's possible, although
• 1:29
  we didn't get those high winds in the valley
• 1:31
  here. So it could be just the passing of time
• 1:33
  and on there for a few years and. I had to reattach
• 1:35
  it. So what was it? You keep saying it. Oh, event
• 1:38
  cover. So we have our the dude who built my house
• 1:41
  was a hack and it was a self build. So not a
• 1:45
  contractor. And the guy cut a lot of corners.
• 1:46
  And one of the weird things he did. So I'm not
• 1:48
  a construction guy, but, you know, a lot of construction
• 1:50
  is just common sense. And normally when you build
• 1:52
  a house, you do one of two things, not both one
• 1:55
  of two things. And that's either have vaulted
• 1:57
  ceilings or you have like attics. This guy did
• 2:00
  both. So the sides of my house have attics. above
• 2:05
  the rooms on the sides of the house, but the
• 2:07
  middle of the house is 30 feet tall and it's
• 2:09
  just vaulted ceilings. And the vaulted ceilings
• 2:12
  connect via airspace to the attics. And if stuff
• 2:14
  is not ventilated just exactly the way it needs
• 2:18
  to be, then mold finds itself all over the place,
• 2:21
  which is a problem we had when we first bought
• 2:23
  the house and we didn't realize what was going
• 2:24
  on. So we had to tear the whole roof off. That
• 2:26
  was a lot of fun. The entire roof. Sheeting and
• 2:29
  all don't ever want to do that again So we set
• 2:31
  it up where the ventilation works the way it
• 2:34
  should but it's very touchy so in this case the
• 2:37
  vent cover fell off and it's a big vent and Air
• 2:40
  will get through it and not go where I needed
• 2:42
  to go to avoid mold through the rest of the roof
• 2:45
  So I had to reattach it and block that airway
• 2:48
  You know, you should just consider, remember
• 2:49
  we were talking a couple shows ago about how
• 2:51
  you just had to sort of practice gratitude when
• 2:53
  the world and your house was falling apart beneath
• 2:55
  your feet. In this case, you know, maybe you
• 2:57
  should just be grateful that you didn't have
• 2:58
  to knock down all four walls, too. It was just
• 3:01
  the roof. I am grateful that I didn't have to
• 3:04
  knock down all four walls. I'm grateful that
• 3:06
  this time all I had to do was just reattach something
• 3:08
  and I didn't die. Yay. You know, the car is in
• 3:12
  excellent condition, other than the wheels and
• 3:15
  the axle and the engine and the frame. Other
• 3:17
  than that, it's a great car. The heater works.
• 3:21
  Yeah. In Idaho, we call them beaters with heaters.
• 3:24
  So as long as you've got the heater, you know.
• 3:26
  You know, I'm always amazed with regard to ventilation,
• 3:29
  how many, you know, let's say bath fans are vented
• 3:34
  into the attic and not out. Or even better, my
• 3:39
  favorite is the overrange microwave that vents
• 3:42
  to nowhere. It actually vents back at your forehead.
• 3:45
  You know, you open the cabinets above the microwave
• 3:48
  and there's no ducting. And you turn the fan
• 3:52
  on, it makes a noise, it sounds like it's ventilating,
• 3:56
  but it's actually just blowing the air out the
• 3:59
  top of the microwave back into your face. It's
• 4:01
  pretty amazing how often things like that exist
• 4:04
  in new housing. Yeah. Ours actually, speaking
• 4:08
  of ours, our microwave had that same setup. You
• 4:11
  turn on the fan and it actually just vented up
• 4:14
  to the ceiling. Right. So we'd look up at our
• 4:17
  ceiling and there was actually like grease stains
• 4:18
  on our ceiling. So I finally was able to call
• 4:22
  in a couple of favors and we were able to pipe
• 4:24
  a vent in from the microwave out through the
• 4:26
  side of the house. Tried to clean up the ceiling
• 4:29
  as best we can and then paint over it and like,
• 4:31
  well. It's as good as it's going to get. So my
• 4:34
  house is definitely the Clark Fork Idaho special.
• 4:37
  If ever there was one that existed. Good times.
• 4:40
  What's amazing is what that set up with those
• 4:42
  over range microwaves is not the exception. It's
• 4:45
  the vast overwhelming majority norm. 49 out of
• 4:49
  50 of them are not ventilated to the outside.
• 4:52
  That's absolutely wild. I didn't know that. How
• 4:54
  do you know that? Because I've become obsessed
• 4:57
  with checking every time I see one of those setups,
• 4:59
  which is quite frequent. I'm like, I just, I
• 5:03
  make a beeline for the captain. Is this something
• 5:07
  you do, Scott, everywhere you visit, the first
• 5:10
  thing you do is beeline into their kitchen and
• 5:11
  be like, oh yeah, you too? I've been told that
• 5:14
  when I was a little tiny kid, like a year old,
• 5:17
  I was obsessed with vacuum cleaners and I would
• 5:19
  go into people's houses and I would like open
• 5:20
  up the closet and be like, is this your vacuum
• 5:22
  cleaner? And they'd be like, yep. And then there'd
• 5:24
  be like five Mississippi of silence. And then
• 5:26
  I'd be like, Can you turn it on? So I've just
• 5:29
  carried that sort of thing with me to my adult
• 5:30
  life, but it's become about the. But now it's
• 5:33
  changed to microwave ventilation. It's crazy.
• 5:36
  And then what I do is I fling the cabinets open
• 5:39
  and then I go, I laugh and turn around to see
• 5:41
  who's looking so I can exclaim, this one's not
• 5:43
  vented either. And then I can shake my head and
• 5:46
  move on with my day. That's pretty much my routine.
• 5:49
  On today's episode of A Touch of the Downs, we
• 5:53
  realize what Scott's into and why he's into it.
• 5:55
  It's a spectrum. I'm high -functioning. No, no.
• 5:58
  You know, they call it... They call it high -masking.
• 6:02
  Do you know that? Oh, okay. No, I had no idea.
• 6:05
  I just call it a little bit of the tisms. Some
• 6:09
  light tism. So hey, you know what speaking high
• 6:12
  speaking of this of high light to moderate autism
• 6:15
  what you got for us today Check this out. We'll
• 6:18
  start light. Well holiday decorating brings joy
• 6:20
  to many families But for some it also brings
• 6:23
  sneezing and congestion doctors say Christmas
• 6:26
  trees and store decorations can trigger allergy
• 6:29
  like symptoms Dr. Chris Brooks with Ohio State
• 6:32
  University says live trees aren't the only culprit
• 6:36
  Artificial trees stored in basements or attics
• 6:39
  collect dust mold and even critter droppings
• 6:42
  that can irritate your nose and lungs. When trees
• 6:45
  are cut down, brought to the house in our indoor
• 6:49
  environment, which can be warmer and more humid
• 6:52
  in the outdoor environment, there can be molds
• 6:54
  that can grow. So Brooks recommends. Well, OK,
• 6:58
  now what do you think that they're going to tell
• 7:00
  you that that doctor recommends? Banning Christmas
• 7:05
  trees is probably going to end up on the FDA's
• 7:08
  list of banned substances. for the entire United
• 7:12
  States. In fact, I can't wait to hear Kennedy
• 7:14
  get up and talk about how HHS has now got an
• 7:20
  entire list of shrubberies, trees, plants, and
• 7:24
  things that are now banned in the household.
• 7:26
  You can't have them. Some boats that are transporting
• 7:29
  holiday decor, we're just going to blow them
• 7:30
  out of the water with stinger missiles. Oh, dude,
• 7:34
  fantastic. You get a bell. You get two bells.
• 7:37
  I can't wait to see how the black market responds
• 7:41
  to the tree ban. And you know, when Mexico and
• 7:46
  Venezuela and all these places get a hold of
• 7:49
  Christmas tree farms and start smuggling them
• 7:52
  through the border, it's going to be fantastic.
• 7:54
  Of course, it's going to put a lot of Idaho people
• 7:57
  out of work. Took up a germs people are gonna
• 8:00
  have problems with that. I'm so glad that you
• 8:03
  did not unlike eat sleep and shop I'm really
• 8:06
  glad that you did not guess What the news is
• 8:09
  gonna tell us that this doctor recommended if
• 8:11
  you have dusty holiday decor here goes So Brooks
• 8:16
  recommends wearing a mask, wearing a mask, wearing
• 8:19
  a mask when unpacking dusty decorations and storing
• 8:23
  holiday items in dry areas to prevent mold. He
• 8:26
  says cleaning artificial trees before setting
• 8:28
  them up can also help reduce symptoms for anyone
• 8:31
  who's affected. Man, I preferred the band. I
• 8:35
  preferred the band. Can you imagine? They're
• 8:40
  serious. Are we going to have to show them our
• 8:43
  Christmas decor? fax cards or something like
• 8:47
  that in order to get into a Christmas concert.
• 8:50
  I can't. They want you to wear a mask while you
• 8:57
  decorate. How about now? Yeah, no, thanks, man.
• 9:02
  Oh, God. Would you have guessed that if I gave
• 9:05
  you five more guesses they were going to tell
• 9:07
  you to freaking mask up? I don't. Should have
• 9:11
  I don't think I would have that's just not the
• 9:13
  way my brain thinks I was thinking, you know
• 9:16
  get rid of it clean it Store it in a better environment
• 9:21
  You know just give up Christmas you crazy Christians
• 9:25
  Take your pick masks was actually not on that
• 9:28
  bingo card. I should know better though. That's
• 9:30
  embarrassing hide your faces guys That's the
• 9:32
  always the answer. I can't wait to see the family
• 9:36
  Christmas cards with the family Christmas pictures
• 9:38
  that come from that one Yep, just like, you know,
• 9:41
  people really did do that in 2020 and 2021. Absolutely.
• 9:45
  Come on, kids gather around the tree. We got
• 9:47
  to take pictures for grandma and papa and everybody
• 9:50
  put on a face diaper. Here we go. Oh, my God.
• 9:55
  All right. I don't want to. You're the reason
• 9:57
  everything sucks. You're a menace to society,
• 9:59
  son. Go to your room. Hey, grandma, my cheeks
• 10:02
  hurt. We need to move on to something serious.
• 10:04
  How about. some junkies in jail. In the meantime,
• 10:08
  we are also tracking an investigation with the
• 10:10
  Kootenai County Sheriff's Office after multiple
• 10:13
  fentanyl overdoses took place in the Kootenai
• 10:15
  County Jail. That incident happened on Saturday.
• 10:18
  Crime Chief Regan Gallo spent today investigating
• 10:20
  into this situation and she is joining us now
• 10:23
  live with more on what she knows. Regan. Yeah,
• 10:26
  well the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office tells
• 10:28
  me that six inmates experienced overdose symptoms.
• 10:32
  And at the time of this incident, Kootenai County
• 10:35
  Sheriff's Office asked local law enforcement
• 10:37
  and partner agencies to only arrest crew. That
• 10:40
  was a nice little emphasis there. I wouldn't
• 10:42
  mind you throwing in that baseline just throughout
• 10:44
  the show. That was pretty good. arrest crucial
• 10:46
  offenders because here staffing was so low six
• 10:50
  out of the nine sheriff deputies at the jail
• 10:52
  had to transport that's a isn't that because
• 10:54
  money right when does that not the answer see
• 10:58
  the reason why drugs got into cootie county jail
• 11:01
  is because we don't have enough money give us
• 11:04
  your money He's at the jail had to transport
• 11:08
  those inmates to the hospital leaving only three
• 11:11
  deputies on site and they say this created a
• 11:14
  critical staffing. This chick's like breathless
• 11:17
  too. Like calm down. She's excited. It was critical.
• 11:21
  She needs to get a hold of some of that fentanyl
• 11:23
  for herself. Just, you know, calm the nerves.
• 11:25
  Critical staffing issue. Trying to figure out
• 11:28
  how it was induced. as well as who supplied it
• 11:31
  once it was inside the jail. That's right. By
• 11:32
  the way, that is the voice of the same lieutenant
• 11:35
  who was meeting with the Kootenai County Commissioners
• 11:37
  about the heli, Mark Ellis. I wonder if he's
• 11:41
  going to go back to the Kootenai County Commissioners
• 11:43
  and be like, and this is why we need a helicopter.
• 11:46
  We totally would not have had drugs in the jail
• 11:48
  if you just give us a helicopter. We could have
• 11:52
  gotten up in this helicopter and flown around
• 11:54
  the whole town and dropped Narcan everywhere.
• 11:58
  And then this never would have happened. County
• 12:01
  Sheriff's Office say they arrested current inmate
• 12:03
  37 year old Raymond D Spezi for possession of
• 12:06
  a controlled substance inside a correctional
• 12:09
  facility. Lieutenant Mark Ellis says none of
• 12:11
  the inmates who took fentanyl died and Narcan
• 12:14
  was administered. The main question remains how
• 12:17
  the drugs got inside the facility. Lieutenant
• 12:20
  Ellis added the situation highlighted two issues.
• 12:23
  First, contraband items being brought and passed
• 12:25
  through the jail. One of the biggest threats
• 12:28
  we have right now is that drugs are being laced
• 12:31
  into the U .S. mail to come into our inmates.
• 12:33
  And so for this year's budget, we put in for
• 12:35
  a mail scanner that would actually be able to
• 12:37
  detect any illegal drugs on the mail. And second,
• 12:40
  low jail staffing. Our staffing right now is
• 12:42
  very low. We only have about nine deputies inside
• 12:44
  the entire jail for 500 inmates. He says for
• 12:47
  about 500 inmates in the Cooney County Jail,
• 12:50
  it is standard to have 13 deputies per shift.
• 12:52
  Right now, only nine deputies are staffed per
• 12:56
  shift. That took about six of our deputies of
• 12:59
  our nine deputies. being transported to the hospital.
• 13:02
  So when you have a critical incident like this,
• 13:04
  it's pretty shattering. It really depletes all
• 13:07
  our resources real quick. We actually, our patrol
• 13:09
  deputies came in, they came in to help with the
• 13:11
  investigations and then to make sure the jail
• 13:13
  was still safe. Lieutenant Ellis also noted more
• 13:15
  deputies are being hired, but it can take time
• 13:18
  for both onboarding and training. Lieutenant
• 13:21
  Ellis also says he cannot confirm that fentanyl
• 13:25
  in this specific situation came in through the
• 13:28
  mailing system. However, he notes that contraband
• 13:31
  items coming through the mailing system is one
• 13:33
  of the jail's biggest vulnerabilities, which
• 13:35
  is why they are trying to address the issue with
• 13:38
  new mailing scanners. That's a little bit like,
• 13:41
  say, like the argument that gun ban enthusiasts
• 13:46
  use. Usually he's like, look. look over here
• 13:49
  somebody got killed by a gun and that's why we
• 13:51
  need to ban assault rifles yep but the guy used
• 13:53
  a 357 like yeah an assault pistol rifle thing
• 13:59
  a fully non -semi -automatic revolver so we need
• 14:03
  to ban this other thing i mean i'm being a little
• 14:06
  glib because it's easy to be glib but they're
• 14:09
  in a tough spot they have policies they have
• 14:11
  to follow or they get sued they have policies
• 14:14
  they have to follow or they get fired policies
• 14:16
  they have to follow or their consequences ensue,
• 14:20
  because that's the framework in place. But I'll
• 14:22
  tell you what would help a lot with the staffing
• 14:24
  issue. This is pretty crazy. So stick with me
• 14:27
  here. Don't put people in jail for victimless
• 14:31
  crimes. I'm just saying one of the reasons why
• 14:35
  Kootenai County is overflowing and beyond capacity
• 14:38
  year after year after year is because we put
• 14:42
  people in jail for doing drugs. So, I feel like
• 14:59
  it's so self -evident, I'm tripping over my own
• 15:02
  words to even make the point, but it blows my
• 15:04
  mind how many people talk about this and don't
• 15:06
  notice the fact that when you put people in jail
• 15:08
  for victimless crimes, which they shouldn't be
• 15:10
  there in the first place, and then you're shocked
• 15:11
  that the jail is overflowing, and then you complain
• 15:15
  that you need more money, from a thinking person's
• 15:17
  perspective, how about no? Along those lines,
• 15:20
  check this out. This is a different story, but
• 15:22
  to your freaking point, a federal civil rights
• 15:24
  lawsuit is now putting the Idaho Department of
• 15:27
  Correction back under scrutiny after the family
• 15:30
  of a late inmate says the state failed to protect
• 15:32
  him behind bars. Milo Warnock was jailed on a
• 15:35
  DUI and later beaten to death by a cellmate.
• 15:38
  And I'm hearing from an attorney and a former
• 15:41
  insider who say the system failed him. Milo Warnock
• 15:44
  was held by but placed with a very d ended up
• 15:58
  being brutally and killed without any p IDOC
• 16:06
  or their staff that to protect him is now at
• 16:10
  civil rights lawsuit filed accusing IDOC of violating
• 16:16
  Warnick's constitutional rights and causing his
• 16:18
  wrongful death. Court records show Warnick, a
• 16:21
  non -violent offender, was housed in Maximum
• 16:24
  Security G Block, an area described in the lawsuit
• 16:27
  as chronically understaffed. He was placed in
• 16:30
  a cell with James Johnson, a seven time convicted
• 16:33
  felon with a documented history of violence.
• 16:35
  Johnson later pleaded guilty to first degree
• 16:37
  murder and was sentenced to life in prison. The
• 16:40
  lawsuit alleges that for more than an hour, no
• 16:42
  correctional officer conducted required safety
• 16:44
  checks while Warnick was being attacked. Attorneys
• 16:47
  say both Warnick and Johnson warned staff that
• 16:50
  their housing placement was dangerous and asked
• 16:52
  to be separated. The Department of Correction
• 16:54
  did not take action to protect Milo and the inevitable
• 16:58
  happened. The lawsuit alleges multiple violations
• 17:00
  of federal law, including dangerous housing placement,
• 17:03
  ignoring requests to move, chronic understaffing
• 17:06
  and failure to conduct proper safety checks.
• 17:08
  It also brings a wrongful death claim on behalf
• 17:11
  of Warnick's disabled son. The Idaho Department
• 17:13
  of Correction has not yet responded to our request
• 17:16
  for comment. So just to. Not necessarily is DUI
• 17:21
  a victimless crime. It might be, it might not
• 17:23
  be, depending on how egregious we're talking
• 17:26
  about, but part of the problem is that there's
• 17:28
  so much in between zero and a hundred with regard
• 17:31
  to DUI. I also don't know anything about this
• 17:34
  guy's criminal history to why he would be in
• 17:36
  such a position that he finds himself repeated
• 17:39
  whatever and DUIs of people driving under the
• 17:43
  influence can of course create victims with their
• 17:45
  actions. However, There is a lot of gray area.
• 17:48
  I've heard enough stories of, oh, you know, you
• 17:52
  you had two and a half beers and you blew one
• 17:55
  point whatever over the legal limit. And so anyway,
• 17:58
  I just that that story, what you said reminded
• 18:00
  me of it because, you know, here's a guy who's
• 18:02
  like a nonviolent offender. What's that guy doing
• 18:05
  in that jail cell? Well, everything about the
• 18:07
  situation is wrong from top to bottom. I can't
• 18:10
  I can't even make any jokes about it. I'm not
• 18:12
  going to. I've been through the system a couple
• 18:16
  of times, and all of it has been for, of course,
• 18:18
  nonviolent offenses, victimless crimes. And it's
• 18:22
  all been politically motivated and things of
• 18:25
  that nature. And I won't go into that. But suffice
• 18:27
  it to say, I have enough experience with the
• 18:28
  system to tell you that it's shocking, but not
• 18:31
  surprising. And it's messed up. And the DUI scene
• 18:36
  is a cottage industry for all departments everywhere
• 18:40
  nationally. They're particularly aggressive about
• 18:43
  it up here. And it is a money -making machine.
• 18:48
  They give each other awards for it. The cops
• 18:50
  do. They give each other awards for who can pop
• 18:53
  the most DUIs. And it's popular. That's the problem
• 18:55
  is everybody has been conditioned to think that
• 18:59
  it's like the almost short of being racist or
• 19:02
  something like that. A DUI is one of the worst
• 19:04
  crimes you can commit, which is absurd. And so
• 19:08
  there's a whole lot of support for being aggressive
• 19:11
  on DUIs, which is also a victimless crime. Is
• 19:14
  it foolish? Yes. Is it smart? No. Should you
• 19:17
  do it? No. But you got systemic issues from top
• 19:21
  to bottom. Number one, point zero eight. Like
• 19:23
  that's different for everybody. Everybody's size,
• 19:26
  shape, who they are, how they, how they, their
• 19:29
  body chemistry, their biochemistry, how they
• 19:31
  metabolize stuff. It's all very different. Two
• 19:33
  beers to one person is different than two beers
• 19:36
  to another person. And yet you've standardized
• 19:38
  it across the entire population. Somehow, that's
• 19:41
  the way to go. And then once you're in the system,
• 19:43
  it's hard to extricate yourself from the system.
• 19:45
  And it's expensive. And every step of the way,
• 19:47
  they charge you for everything. It is a money
• 19:51
  machine. It's a cottage industry all on its own.
• 19:54
  And there's entire companies that make all of
• 19:57
  their bread on this cottage industry. And the
• 20:01
  County legal system, it props them up. And the
• 20:04
  police departments, it helps prop them up. The
• 20:06
  money money gets funneled towards both of them,
• 20:08
  too. So There's a real incentive to keep it pumping.
• 20:12
  At the end of the day, it's pre -crime. So I
• 20:15
  disagree. You know, again, I'm not pro -DUI.
• 20:17
  Everybody immediately goes, oh, you're pro -DUI
• 20:19
  or you're, you know, it's like, no, obviously
• 20:21
  I'm not. It's a foolish to drive under the influence.
• 20:25
  The act itself is a victimless act. It's when
• 20:31
  something happens in there, then they're, you
• 20:32
  know, you damage somebody's property or them
• 20:34
  and then you've got a real case. Now there's
• 20:36
  a crime. then you should go to jail and you should
• 20:39
  pay restitution and all that kind of stuff. But
• 20:41
  otherwise it's pre -crime. That is what Dewey's
• 20:43
  are, it's pre -crime. Very expensive, revenue
• 20:47
  -generating pre -crime for the county and the
• 20:49
  state and all the departments that suckle at
• 20:52
  that teat. So this guy goes into jail for essentially
• 20:56
  pre -crime, hurts nobody, and gets killed by
• 21:01
  his roommate, bunkmate. That's messed up. It's
• 21:05
  a messed up story. And so now I think this is
• 21:08
  here's another but I know we're going to go back
• 21:10
  to the fentanyl OD in the Kootenai County jail.
• 21:12
  But before we do, this is I believe what and
• 21:15
  this again, this also just happened. This is
• 21:19
  what people I believe are envisioning when they
• 21:21
  think of DUI without any nuance. Well, on November
• 21:24
  29th, a drunk driver killed Anika Wilson and
• 21:27
  her boyfriend Leo Shepherd. Now Anika's family
• 21:31
  is pushing for stricter DUI laws in Idaho. So
• 21:34
  the two were driving from Springfield, Utah to
• 21:36
  Boise when a drunk driver got on the wrong side
• 21:39
  of the interstate and hit their car head on.
• 21:43
  Officers arrested the driver in Salt Lake County
• 21:45
  on two counts of automobile homicide and driving
• 21:48
  under the influence. Anika's aunt, Jennifer Wilson,
• 21:51
  says the family wants stricter punishments for
• 21:54
  drunk driving in both Utah and Idaho. There needs
• 21:57
  to be more deterrent. for people who are inebriated
• 22:01
  driving under the influence, whether it's alcohol,
• 22:03
  drugs, whatever. In Idaho, the first DUI within
• 22:06
  10 years is a misdemeanor and up to six months
• 22:09
  in jail. More DUIs after that could mean up to
• 22:13
  one year in jail. The Wilsons say these punishments
• 22:15
  are not enough to deter people from drunk driving.
• 22:18
  They say Idaho and Utah legislators need to increase
• 22:21
  the minimum sentencing for DUI offenders. create
• 22:24
  more DUI checkpoints, and take away licenses
• 22:27
  from offenders. The problem is that in between
• 22:31
  getting rad -assed falling down drunk on a on
• 22:35
  a handle of Jack Daniels and then getting on
• 22:39
  an off ramp and going down I -90 on the wrong
• 22:43
  side of the road and killing two people in a
• 22:46
  head -on collision and my cousin at 22 years
• 22:50
  old getting popped point one oh after three beers
• 22:55
  well that's called the same thing they're both
• 22:58
  DUI there's just not enough nuance there those
• 23:02
  are not the same thing correct but the system
• 23:05
  is largely not built to account for nuance that's
• 23:08
  part of the problem that's why mandatory minimum
• 23:11
  sentencing is such an issue that's one will I'm
• 23:13
  sure we'll touch on at some point someday and
• 23:17
  of course This is so predictable, you know, somebody
• 23:20
  suffers a tragedy and then because it is a tragedy,
• 23:24
  man, it's such a modern day human thing to suffer
• 23:28
  a tragedy and then be like, this should never,
• 23:30
  ever, ever happen again. Go on a crusade. And
• 23:32
  that's right. And the answer to making sure this
• 23:36
  never, ever happens again is to restrict everybody
• 23:39
  else's freedoms more. You know, what we need
• 23:42
  is less freedom always. If it just if it just
• 23:45
  saves one life. then it's worth giving up all
• 23:48
  of your freedoms and money. And I can hear how,
• 23:52
  you know, the Pearl Clutchers would like, you
• 23:56
  know, take a very, very sharp, deep breath in
• 23:59
  at that. No. Are you saying that you should be
• 24:03
  free to drive drunk? Like that's how they hear
• 24:06
  what you just said. And obviously, I'm super
• 24:09
  pro drunk driver because that's, you know, if
• 24:12
  if if I'm anti Biden, that must mean I'm pro
• 24:14
  Trump. There's no way that you can have an opinion
• 24:19
  that is not completely dichotic. Here's a perfect
• 24:22
  example of having something happen to you personally
• 24:26
  and then going on a crusade and how it might
• 24:28
  not be what it appears. McDonald's used to cook
• 24:32
  their french fries in beef tallow. That's how
• 24:35
  they gained their reputation as the world's most
• 24:38
  amazing french fries, 50s, 60s, 70s. There was
• 24:42
  a guy whose name is escaping me. Who suffered
• 24:45
  a heart attack and he was a very wealthy guy
• 24:48
  and he it was he was fairly young you might have
• 24:50
  been in like his 30s mid late 30s something like
• 24:52
  that look up his name and He became convinced
• 24:57
  that his heart attack was caused by Cholesterol
• 25:01
  from animal fat because that was the I suppose
• 25:04
  prevailing You know wisdom at the time, you know
• 25:08
  from the boomers who were like, you know eating
• 25:10
  margarine And had the upside -down food pyramid,
• 25:13
  you know, and so he went on a personal crusade
• 25:16
  He he he literally like used his fortune to buy
• 25:20
  Full -page ads in the New York Times and you
• 25:24
  know go on, you know buy his way on to talk shows
• 25:27
  He went on a one -man crusade to eliminate animal
• 25:31
  fats from I guess the American diet and but by
• 25:35
  targeting the fast food industry because in his
• 25:37
  mind he believed this was the culprit His pressure
• 25:41
  campaign is ultimately what led McDonald's to
• 25:45
  cease using beef tallow to cook their fries and
• 25:47
  I think in like 1991 or two or something like
• 25:50
  that They finally caved and made the change and
• 25:52
  of course enough to this day They're cooked in
• 25:55
  whatever the hell, you know vegetable oil not
• 25:58
  animal fat The fries have never been the same
• 26:01
  They've never changed back. Although now finally
• 26:04
  in recent years is starting to become more mainstream
• 26:09
  again that people are realizing, oh, that was
• 26:12
  never the right move in the first place. That
• 26:14
  whole thing was based on it. Yeah, well, it turns
• 26:15
  out that beef tallow is great for you and now
• 26:19
  everything's moving back the other direction.
• 26:20
  It turns out that real butter is good for you.
• 26:23
  Which is a shocker, who knew? It turns out that
• 26:25
  all of the things, plants and animals that God
• 26:28
  put on this earth for us to consume are what
• 26:31
  we are meant to consume. What a shock. So the
• 26:40
  whole point here that I'm making is when you
• 26:42
  have that phenomenon of the individual who goes
• 26:46
  on a like sort of Fanatical crusade because of
• 26:49
  something that happened to them personally It
• 26:52
  comes out, you know much later that that whole
• 26:56
  thing was like a fog of personal war. And you
• 27:00
  see what I'm saying? It becomes sort of ideological.
• 27:02
  Well, like, what are you saying, Scott? Are you
• 27:04
  pro -heart attack? Like, that's kind of the same
• 27:06
  thing. Were you pro -driving under the influence?
• 27:09
  Like, no, I just - No, I'm pro -French fries
• 27:11
  being delicious. As you and I know, and as everybody
• 27:16
  who has the same philosophy as we do, freedom
• 27:20
  carries risk. That's the trade -off. Like, as
• 27:23
  Thomas Sowell Has said with the greatest economist
• 27:26
  of our time and there are and that's in good
• 27:28
  company There's a lot of good economists in the
• 27:31
  Austrian school of thought there that he that
• 27:33
  he keeps good company with but he's one of my
• 27:35
  faves if not my all -time fave and as he says
• 27:37
  there there is no such thing as a perfect solution
• 27:39
  only trade -offs and the problem is most people
• 27:42
  are always on the hunt for the perfect solution
• 27:44
  and ultimately it means usually more money out
• 27:46
  of everybody else's pockets and less freedom
• 27:48
  and But there's the trade -off freedom requires
• 27:52
  some risk. It is not perfectly safe. It can't
• 27:55
  be by by its very nature. It's impossible. So
• 28:00
  there are a lot of us who are willing to accept
• 28:03
  a higher level of risk than others. And that's
• 28:05
  where the state comes in and wrecks everything,
• 28:08
  because people who want less risk, they can still
• 28:10
  find ways to live their lives with less risk,
• 28:14
  find ways to mitigate it, and they're free to
• 28:15
  do so and power to you, man. But the moment you
• 28:19
  get the state involved now, Everybody has to
• 28:22
  live that way. And that's the problem. I don't
• 28:25
  desire security. I desire freedom. However, those
• 28:30
  who desire security get to strip me of my freedom.
• 28:34
  And it's a race to the bottom. So what are you
• 28:37
  guys saying? You're saying that in order to,
• 28:39
  you know, have more liberty that you want to
• 28:41
  risk being on the road with people who are drunk.
• 28:43
  And I think, yeah, the answer and have french
• 28:45
  fries. Yes. Yes. I believe you should be free
• 28:48
  to buy a tub of tallow drenched french fries
• 28:53
  and have a beer in the center console and go
• 28:57
  home with those things in your in your rig and
• 29:00
  listen to rock and roll while you do it and have
• 29:03
  a great time and Until you do something that
• 29:07
  harms somebody else in some way should perform
• 29:10
  it until you do have at it man Enjoy those fries
• 29:13
  and that beer You have the right to do so I'm
• 29:17
  willing to take those risks and I know someone
• 29:19
  might also say well You've never been impacted
• 29:21
  by a drunk driver. No, that's not true Very close
• 29:24
  family friend of ours who was like a grandfather
• 29:26
  to me a very kindly man He was killed by a drunk
• 29:29
  driver shoot when I was like 12 years old and
• 29:31
  I know other people I'm not unaffected. It's
• 29:34
  just That's the trade -off now. I need to okay.
• 29:38
  Hold on. Who was the guy who? went on the campaign
• 29:45
  to make McDonald's stop using beef tallow. Worse.
• 29:51
  To make McDonald's worse. There he is. Phil Sokoloff
• 29:57
  is his name. Oh, here's his great how more like
• 30:01
  Phil sucks a lot. Nice. Sokoloff was an. Oh,
• 30:06
  this is how chat. He describes him an Omaha based
• 30:09
  health activist. People less healthy even though
• 30:14
  he didn't know he was doing it Slash businessman
• 30:17
  who led the campaign the pressure McDonald's
• 30:18
  to stop by okay, blah blah after surviving a
• 30:21
  heart attack in 1966 Sokoloff founded what he
• 30:25
  called the National Heart Savers Association
• 30:28
  and that That institution sounds way better than
• 30:32
  the National Frye Worseners Association. That
• 30:36
  was their original name He began a public crusade
• 30:40
  against saturated fats. He spent a significant
• 30:42
  amount of money on full -page newspaper ads,
• 30:44
  like I was saying, and strong headlines like
• 30:47
  the poisoning of America, calling out excessive
• 30:50
  fat, and the use of beef, tallow, and fries,
• 30:53
  especially targeting McDonald's. The pressure
• 30:54
  is widely credited. Okay, but that's kind of
• 30:56
  what I said. So that was his name, Phil Sokoloff.
• 30:58
  Meanwhile, aspartame in sodas is cool, and margarine
• 31:01
  is cool. Those are okay. That's the thing this
• 31:04
  this this guy like he's he was 180 degrees wrong
• 31:07
  in his premise, but he was fanatical. He had
• 31:10
  the fanaticism behind him of someone who had
• 31:13
  been personally wronged by what he viewed, you
• 31:16
  know, with this thing that he viewed that did
• 31:18
  it to him. But he was not correct in his premise.
• 31:22
  And so he spent his whole life fighting an upside
• 31:24
  down battle. And he made everyone's health worse,
• 31:28
  even though that wasn't his intention. It's a
• 31:31
  pretty sick irony, isn't it? Clown world. We
• 31:35
  need to do something more lighthearted, but I
• 31:37
  want to go back to the fentanyl thing because
• 31:38
  I have a couple other sources and how they covered
• 31:40
  it. Kind of lighthearted. Yeah, yeah, it's very
• 31:42
  I will say this. I'm very impressed. Say what
• 31:46
  you want about tweakers, but their resourcefulness
• 31:49
  is unmatched, unmatched. I mean, you know, like
• 31:53
  I walk into a field. And I look and I go, this
• 31:56
  is beautiful. Look at that sunset. They walk
• 31:58
  into a field and they go look at all that copper.
• 32:00
  I can strip out of those sprinklers. They always
• 32:02
  find a way. Here's how NPR Idaho NPR covered
• 32:07
  it. The dulcet tones of NPR now to a jail in
• 32:12
  North Idaho where a half dozen inmates experienced
• 32:15
  a reported overdose of fentanyl. The Kootenai
• 32:18
  County Sheriff's Office says this past weekend
• 32:20
  two inmates appear to be overdosing. Staff identified
• 32:24
  four other inmates shortly thereafter. They had
• 32:26
  signs of overdose. They administered Narcan and
• 32:29
  all six were transported to a local hospital
• 32:32
  for treatment before returning to jail. Meanwhile,
• 32:35
  one of those six inmates was charged with drug
• 32:38
  possession inside a correctional institution.
• 32:45
  I wonder if he's already in jail for drug possession.
• 32:48
  I kind of I want to know what are the original
• 32:50
  charges? It's got to be like also drug possession.
• 32:53
  So they just slap another one on for good measure
• 32:55
  there. That'll teach you, you know, if we put
• 32:58
  them in jail, Scott, they won't have access to
• 33:00
  drugs along those lines. Have you noticed how
• 33:04
  the drug boat, which is just wall to wall in
• 33:08
  the national scene, the drug boat stuff, everyone's
• 33:11
  just paras on fire about the drug boats on both
• 33:13
  sides. Have you noticed how? it is being framed
• 33:18
  as something that is being done to quote Americans.
• 33:23
  These drugs are being funneled over here and
• 33:27
  they're killing, they're killing 25 billion Americans
• 33:31
  every second. That's the framing is that this
• 33:33
  is happening to you. I mean, even I mean, if
• 33:36
  you hear what are the NPR jail in North Idaho
• 33:38
  where a half dozen inmates experienced a reported
• 33:41
  overdose, they experienced an overdose. They
• 33:44
  just they were eating their meal off of their
• 33:47
  little plastic tray and they experienced an overdose.
• 33:49
  What happened? I just find the whole thing to
• 33:53
  be unbelievable. How how in the world is this
• 33:58
  is we're sort of talking about this a little
• 33:59
  bit the other because we were texting about this
• 34:01
  story. How are so many people like, oh, every
• 34:04
  other story is someone had some sort of a shank
• 34:08
  that had been smuggled into them. They have drugs,
• 34:12
  they have contraband, they're trading, you know,
• 34:15
  for cigarettes, for commissary money. Like how
• 34:17
  in the world, and I think we know the answer,
• 34:20
  how so much stuff seems to be getting into jails.
• 34:23
  It has to be because the jail overseers are either
• 34:26
  looking the other way or part of it. Am I missing
• 34:28
  something? How else is that happening? It's a
• 34:31
  really great question. I don't know. That's why
• 34:34
  I say I'm so impressed because when they process
• 34:37
  you in, they are very thorough. They check everything.
• 34:43
  How would you know again? To paraphrase the public
• 34:46
  radio guy experience. And you're saying they
• 34:50
  check everything? Everything. It's not a good
• 35:11
  time. So it does. I'm impressed. How how do you
• 35:15
  get drugs in there? It's hard to get stuff in
• 35:17
  and out of there. Like when I got mailed, my
• 35:20
  things legitimately mailed like books and letters
• 35:23
  and things like that that were supposed to get
• 35:25
  to me, they never even got to me. Ten days and
• 35:27
  that shit never got to me. And only when I was
• 35:28
  getting processed out and they were like, oh,
• 35:30
  by the way, we have all your personal belongings.
• 35:32
  Not cool. They'll hold your stuff if they don't
• 35:34
  like you. Let's do something like just there's
• 35:37
  one more thing that comes to mind before we move
• 35:39
  on to something a little more light hearted about
• 35:41
  the drugs. This is another thing you and I were
• 35:43
  joking about. How in the world are folks in these
• 35:47
  situations? You've got a parole officer that
• 35:49
  checks on you every other day. You know, you're
• 35:51
  in a you're in a prison cell. How are some of
• 35:54
  these folks enjoying the high? That's a great
• 35:58
  question, too. That would be stressful. You know,
• 36:02
  but then again, we're dealing with. We're dealing
• 36:04
  with people who are known, I think, you know,
• 36:05
  they have a history of making suboptimal decisions,
• 36:07
  which is why they kind of find themselves where
• 36:09
  they find themselves. But it does make you wonder,
• 36:13
  like, what did you expect to get out of this?
• 36:15
  Other than a free hospital trip, I guess. You
• 36:18
  know, I know people who, you know, who are total
• 36:21
  or like normal, sane individuals who don't have
• 36:23
  any problem with the law or any parole officer
• 36:25
  knocking on any door. And, you know, they take
• 36:27
  like half a hit off a joint and they feel all
• 36:31
  paranoid. It definitely depends on how your brain
• 36:34
  works and there are a lot of people who are that
• 36:36
  way actually Marijuana cannabis is excellent
• 36:39
  at bringing the focus in I know folks who lift
• 36:43
  weights on cannabis because they feel like they
• 36:46
  get better returns because they can focus more
• 36:48
  on their movements and their finer Muscle movements
• 36:51
  actually they get more out of it. It's interesting
• 36:53
  the jujitsu community Yeah, the jujitsu community
• 36:58
  is actually big into cannabis because they feel
• 37:01
  that They get better focus and jujitsu is a discipline
• 37:05
  that requires a great deal of focus so on and
• 37:08
  so forth but there's another contingent of the
• 37:10
  population that have a much harder time with
• 37:12
  it because While it may allow you to hone in
• 37:14
  and focus on things if you have a more active
• 37:17
  mind or you're more anxiety prone it can help
• 37:21
  Force you to focus in on things that cause you
• 37:24
  anxiety and stress and it will elevate that that
• 37:27
  situation So I know folks who can't engage in
• 37:30
  cannabis at all because of those reasons. It's
• 37:33
  rough. So I have no experience when it comes
• 37:36
  to fentanyl. I don't plan to add that to my resume
• 37:39
  anytime soon. So I don't know how that one behaves,
• 37:42
  other than most of the time it sends you to the
• 37:44
  hospital. But it makes you want to ask these
• 37:46
  people, like, why are you the way that you are?
• 37:50
  Okay, here's some empty calories before we take
• 37:54
  a quick breather here. Also in Idaho, the Transportation
• 37:56
  Department has announced the winners of its Name
• 37:58
  a Snowplow contest. The two winners were Control

  like just cook the freaking Star Wars in the
• 38:53
  beef tallow man. That's what everybody wants
• 38:55
  Yes, and let me drink it while I drive All right,
• 38:59
  that said this show is a value for value proposition.
• 39:04
  No ID is a value for value podcast That means
• 39:08
  that if you like what you hear and what you are
• 39:12
  hearing is now every Thursday, thank you then
• 39:15
  we ask that you contribute if you find it valuable
• 39:17
  that you contribute value back to the show and
• 39:20
  You can do so with your time your talent or your
• 39:22
  treasure at no ID show calm There's a contact
• 39:26
  widget where you can get in touch with us and
• 39:28
  send us boots on the ground reports. There is
• 39:32
  there are links to PayPal and Venmo and YouTube
• 39:36
  and Patreon and all of these things that are
• 39:38
  supposedly avenues by which to see our content
• 39:41
  and send donations. That's the treasure portion.
• 39:44
  If you find our show worthwhile and like something
• 39:48
  you'd like to see continue to be posted every
• 39:50
  Thursday. Oh, by the way, another, it's something
• 39:53
  we've have failed to mention. Another thing that
• 39:55
  is valuable is spreading the word, letting people
• 39:59
  know about the show. Podcasts spread by word
• 40:02
  of mouth. That is the real marketing behind anything
• 40:06
  that develops from the ground up. Especially
• 40:08
  because we're struggling with our email list.
• 40:10
  So a lot of the emails are going into spam, even
• 40:13
  when we've been interacting with them. My own,
• 40:15
  I'm still having troubles with it going into
• 40:17
  spam, even after I've marked it, not spam. So
• 40:21
  if somehow you've managed to find this podcast
• 40:23
  and you are on the email list or you want to
• 40:26
  get on the email list, you go to our website
• 40:28
  and you get on the email list. But if you are
• 40:30
  on that list and you still aren't seeing them,
• 40:32
  please check your spam and also let other people
• 40:35
  know to check their spam and then try to market,
• 40:37
  not spam. See if that works. Hopefully it does.
• 40:41
  Also, as far as value for value goes, I think
• 40:43
  it's important to note that if you value what
• 40:45
  we do, we do appreciate the time, talent and
• 40:47
  treasure. But if you decide you hate what we
• 40:50
  do, you can't ask us for refunds. Sorry. It only
• 40:53
  works one way. Much like another entity that
• 40:55
  comes to mind. The government. Is that where
• 40:58
  we were going with that? I did get here. Just
• 41:00
  so you know, this is a real notice that I got
• 41:04
  from the county. I'd like to read it to you.
• 41:06
  So thank you guys. No ID show .com. And please
• 41:09
  send us some value back in any form you see fit.
• 41:19
  And thank you in advance. Or if you got hot tips,
• 41:22
  let us know, man. Or if you got just feedback
• 41:24
  or criticism or compliments. Obviously, we prefer
• 41:27
  the former over the latter. But, you know, you
• 41:30
  do you, boo. Tell us what's up. We're listening.
• 41:33
  Dear Kootenay County taxpayers. This letter is
• 41:37
  to clarify a component of your included property
• 41:39
  tax bill. This amount displayed. uh it is due
• 41:42
  for several reasons because there's a judgment
• 41:45
  levy a lawsuit was filed against the state of
• 41:47
  idaho challenging the values of operating property
• 41:50
  belonging to avista and rathdrum power the legal
• 41:55
  challenge resulted in a reduction of in the value
• 41:58
  of these properties for the past tax years which
• 42:00
  is 2020 through 2024 as a result of this court
• 42:04
  ruling kootenai county is required to facilitate
• 42:06
  a refund of a portion of the taxes previously
• 42:09
  paid by these companies The affected taxing districts,
• 42:12
  having already budgeted for and utilized these
• 42:14
  funds, experienced a loss in revenue. How this
• 42:17
  affects your bill. Idaho law permits taxing districts
• 42:20
  to issue an additional levy within two years
• 42:22
  to recover their proportionate share of the refunded
• 42:28
  money. I heard about this. The levy rate listed
• 42:30
  on your statement includes this additional judgment
• 42:32
  levy. This is the mechanism by which these districts
• 42:34
  are recapturing the funds that were lost due
• 42:36
  to the tax refunds issued to Avista and Rathrum
• 42:39
  Power. We understand that tax increases can raise
• 42:42
  questions. We are providing this information
• 42:44
  to ensure that you can go fry ice and give us
• 42:47
  your money immediately. Sincerely, the Kootenai
• 42:49
  County treasurer. OK, so now here's what we messed
• 42:53
  up. We lost in court. Now you guys get to help
• 42:56
  us pay. That's my understanding. Now, if you
• 42:58
  distill this down, I read it like three times.
• 43:00
  So I was making sure I read this right. They
• 43:02
  overvalued the properties of Avista and Rathrum
• 43:06
  Power. Avista and Rathrum Power sued. or whatever,
• 43:10
  used the legal system to say, hey, you're overvaluing
• 43:14
  our properties and therefore overtaxing us. That
• 43:17
  was found to be true. Kootenai County did overvalue
• 43:19
  and overtax. Had to then refund the companies
• 43:22
  that they overcharged in the first place. And
• 43:24
  in order to, quote, recapture the money, they
• 43:27
  just raise taxes on the citizens. Levy is the
• 43:32
  proper term, sir. It's a much more polite term.
• 43:34
  Sorry, Levy, my mistake. Isn't that wonderful?
• 43:40
  Home rentership man. What a dream Let's go to
• 43:46
  This okay. Here's another important story from
• 43:48
  this past week because we covered Teresa left
• 43:53
  and pull getting dragged out of that KCR CC town
• 43:57
  hall that wasn't really a town hall and how the
• 44:00
  sheriff Bob Norris was not going to be charged
• 44:03
  in that incident for directing some plain clothes
• 44:06
  security guards to essentially grab her by her
• 44:10
  hammer and sickle and drag her out of the of
• 44:13
  the auditorium. And just to get one of them.
• 44:16
  And she did. Yeah. Oh, always a good sign biting.
• 44:20
  Just in three security guards charged in relation
• 44:22
  to the incident at the Kootenai County Republican
• 44:25
  Central Committee Town Hall that happened earlier
• 44:27
  this year. Appeared to have their cases dropped.
• 44:30
  Jesse Jones, Christopher Berg and Russell Dunn
• 44:33
  were facing several charges, including battery.
• 44:36
  They removed a woman who they say was disturbing
• 44:38
  that meeting at the time, but the investigation
• 44:41
  unveiled some violations by the private security
• 44:43
  firm. Those three guards cases have been vacated
• 44:47
  according to online court records. of Lear Asset
• 44:50
  Management. That's Paul Tourette and Michael
• 44:53
  Keller are still facing charges as of today.
• 44:57
  So this lady, it's the meeting was put on by
• 45:03
  essentially a private organization, but in a
• 45:05
  public place. And the private organization paid
• 45:09
  a fee to the school district in order to utilize
• 45:14
  the space. So it was the Kootenai County Precinct
• 45:19
  Committee. So they had power over the space.
• 45:23
  It was a public space, but effectively a private
• 45:27
  event that was open to the public. So they're
• 45:31
  painting it as if it was a public meeting in
• 45:34
  a public space. And that's how the left and the
• 45:38
  NIR Republican, the North Idaho Republicans and
• 45:40
  all of those loons are positing the whole thing.
• 45:43
  And so of course they make it a First Amendment.
• 45:46
  Issue as well and they don't obviously they don't
• 45:48
  care at all about the first amendment They have
• 45:50
  total contempt for the first amendment like we've
• 45:52
  been saying so anytime you say that you know
• 45:54
  that you know that they're just using it as a
• 45:56
  Weapon as like any time they tell you to think
• 45:59
  of the children and you know You got to grab
• 46:00
  your wallet because really it just means more
• 46:02
  money But the same people who stand on a mountain
• 46:04
  of aborted children are the ones who will lecture
• 46:06
  me about taking care of kids Yeah. It's interesting
• 46:20
  that the owners of the company are still under
• 46:22
  the gun. So I find that fascinating. I'm glad
• 46:25
  to hear that three of the guys are now no longer
• 46:29
  facing the charges. Again, that's a step in the
• 46:32
  right direction. There should have never been
• 46:33
  charges in the first place. We should also, and
• 46:36
  here's where conservatives tend to continue to
• 46:39
  fail. At what point as a conservative, do you
• 46:43
  put two and two together and go Even in Kootenai
• 46:46
  County, the people who are in charge of everything,
• 46:51
  the city councils and the legal system itself
• 46:56
  are against us because the prosecuting, the Kootenai
• 47:01
  County prosecuting, what the hell they call that
• 47:04
  guy, the main prosecuting attorney. Yeah, the
• 47:06
  city attorney name of the top guy. Yeah, the
• 47:09
  city, the county attorney, the city attorney
• 47:10
  is like. They're the guys who call the shots
• 47:12
  on what gets prosecuted. And then they filter
• 47:14
  that down to their little lackeys who all too
• 47:17
  happily will then prosecute whatever they're
• 47:19
  told to prosecute. It's a systemic issue. The
• 47:22
  fact that this is being prosecuted and it's obviously
• 47:26
  a political prosecution. At what point do you
• 47:29
  as a conservative go, yeah, like these institutions
• 47:33
  that I think are on my side or are here to protect
• 47:36
  me don't do that at all. In fact, they do the
• 47:39
  opposite. Like how many more times? You have
• 47:41
  to see it to understand it. And even in Kootenay
• 47:44
  County. And that's where conservatives are just
• 47:45
  completely off them. They're just off their rockers.
• 47:48
  They don't get it. You know, I am happy to see
• 47:50
  that three of the guys are now out from under
• 47:52
  the gun. But there's two dudes, business owners
• 47:55
  who are facing a hell of an uphill battle. And
• 47:57
  it's very stressful to go through that. It's
• 47:59
  a horrible experience. The state has infinity
• 48:01
  dollars. They can come after you for as long
• 48:03
  as they want, as hard as they want. They can
• 48:05
  reach for the moon. And if they fail, well, they
• 48:08
  just move on to the next one. But if they win,
• 48:11
  it ruins your life. Meanwhile, as the citizen,
• 48:16
  you have to you have to nut up a ton of money
• 48:18
  to defend yourself. Time is money. The longer
• 48:20
  it goes, the more expensive it is. The stakes
• 48:22
  are crazy high. Your freedom is on the line.
• 48:24
  Oftentimes a lot of your, you know, your livelihood
• 48:27
  is on the line. Your savings are on the line.
• 48:30
  The power structure, the power dynamic is so
• 48:33
  tilted towards the state. and people who've never
• 48:36
  been through it will look at that and go, oh
• 48:37
  yeah, but you still have rights and it's still
• 48:39
  a, you know, it's a justice system. No, not even
• 48:41
  close. It's a clown court, man. You can develop
• 48:44
  ulcers. You can develop marital problems. You
• 48:47
  can develop all sorts of second order effects
• 48:50
  that come from dealing with something like that.
• 48:52
  And much like, you know, the micro version of
• 48:54
  it where, you know, you get a... a BS moving
• 48:57
  violation ticket and you fight it and you take
• 49:01
  the day off of work on the Tuesday to go down
• 49:03
  to the courtroom. And then the issuing ossifer
• 49:07
  doesn't actually show up. And then so the ticket
• 49:09
  gets dismissed. There's no like restitution.
• 49:12
  There's no anything. It's just like, OK, yeah,
• 49:14
  you don't have to pay next. One hundred percent.
• 49:18
  If you have a full time job and you can't, you
• 49:22
  know, it's hard to get time off. It's a problem
• 49:24
  already. Because the court system, the legal
• 49:27
  system operates within bankers hours, normal
• 49:29
  bankers hours. So if you have a job that operates
• 49:31
  inside any of those hours, but you have to show
• 49:33
  up. If you don't show up for court, then you
• 49:36
  get a bench warrant for your arrest for failure
• 49:38
  to appear or things like that. You just don't
• 49:40
  have a choice. The board is tilted. It's their
• 49:43
  game. Let's see if this, the other, I had one
• 49:47
  other clip from this incident. I just want to
• 49:49
  see if it had any other information that we missed.
• 49:52
  That the other that the other clip didn't it
• 49:54
  also has the advantage of having Teresa Kami
• 49:57
  pole yelling in the background the Nat pops of
• 50:00
  her screaming is always continuing coverage this
• 50:02
  morning Charges against security personnel involved
• 50:05
  in a confrontation at Kootenai County's Town
• 50:08
  Hall are now dropped The four personnel had been
• 50:12
  charged with battery. Okay. Well, that's baloney.
• 50:14
  It wasn't Kootenai County's Town Hall, right?
• 50:16
  Isn't isn't It wasn't in a private organization's
• 50:18
  town hall like you were saying it's it was the
• 50:20
  kcrcc's event Yeah, it was it was the kootenai
• 50:22
  county republican precinct committees event So
• 50:25
  you got ron burgundy telling everyone that it
• 50:27
  was the county that put the event on so that's
• 50:28
  not at kootenai county's town hall are now dropped
• 50:32
  The four personnel had been charged with battery
• 50:35
  and false imprisonment after forcibly removing
• 50:37
  a shouting woman from a town hall They claimed
• 50:40
  they were acting under the protection of direction
• 50:43
  rather Did you hear that that is a? textbook
• 50:48
  example of the of the truth wanting to come out.
• 50:51
  It happens all the time with the teleprompter
• 50:53
  readers, and they just can't help themselves.
• 50:55
  And then you can hear like he he's like, oh,
• 50:58
  and false. And they claim they were acting under
• 51:00
  the protection of direction rather well as Kootenai
• 51:03
  County Sheriff Bob Norris. They claim they were
• 51:07
  acting under the protection of they claimed wasn't
• 51:10
  it on video? Yeah, they claimed. Also, I like
• 51:14
  the part two where like oh they they forcibly
• 51:16
  removed a shouting woman like they put her in
• 51:18
  a trebuchet and just launched her out of there
• 51:20
  They asked her to leave like six times. Didn't
• 51:22
  they a lot? Yeah. Yeah, it was it was Exactly
• 51:26
  what you'd expect. I mean they tried they tried
• 51:28
  they tried and then finally they went all right
• 51:29
  Here's what we got to do because we're gonna
• 51:31
  drag you out of here and much much to your much
• 51:33
  to your delight Teresa Kami pole because this
• 51:36
  was the entire idea I mean, this is the exact
• 51:38
  yeah, unfortunately they played in it's a lose
• 51:41
  -lose situation for the Cooney County Republican
• 51:44
  precinct committee folks, because what do you
• 51:46
  do? Like you're trying to run a meeting. You
• 51:47
  want it to be productive. She's disrupting it.
• 51:50
  She won't leave. So if you let her end the meeting
• 51:54
  there, then she wins. And apparently removing
• 51:57
  her, she wins, at least in the eyes of folks
• 52:01
  who are too lazy to get their facts right or
• 52:04
  who lean that way anyways. And so, of course,
• 52:06
  you know, their narrative is the truth. It's
• 52:09
  the way they behave. It's brilliant on the part
• 52:11
  of of these folks in town, these leftists, they
• 52:14
  craft the narrative, they frame it their way,
• 52:17
  and then they do these things and make themselves
• 52:20
  out to be the victims and everybody else out
• 52:22
  to be the bad guys. It's cunning. You got to
• 52:23
  give them credit, you know. And you'll notice
• 52:25
  that the gal, Theresa Borenpole, she's not being
• 52:28
  prosecuted for assaulting the security guards.
• 52:32
  She spit at him. She bit him. She refused to
• 52:35
  leave a place after being told she needs to leave.
• 52:39
  And the Coeur d 'Alene Police Department has
• 52:42
  made it clear that they will not trespass disruptors
• 52:46
  or protesters at these meetings so again if you
• 52:51
  conservatives if you think the cops are on your
• 52:53
  side what are you doing i'm gonna just press
• 52:57
  it i know it loses i know it loses people up
• 52:59
  here because it's just such an untouchable topic
• 53:01
  but if we're going to be clear thinking folks
• 53:03
  it has to be addressed especially up here where
• 53:06
  the back the blue momentum is huge Incidentally,
• 53:11
  Sheriff Norris, we mentioned this last podcast
• 53:12
  too, or two podcasts ago, but Sheriff Norris
• 53:16
  pardoned isn't the proper term, but basically
• 53:18
  was cleared of any wrongdoing by Raul Labrador's
• 53:20
  office. Raul Labrador, who's the attorney general
• 53:22
  of Idaho, and this was a few weeks ago, investigated
• 53:25
  the situation and found no wrongdoing on the
• 53:28
  part of Sheriff Norris. So of course, the government
• 53:31
  employee was the first one to get let off the
• 53:34
  hook. then the employees of the private corporation
• 53:37
  were let off the hook. Now it's the owners of
• 53:39
  the private company that are being raked over
• 53:40
  the coals. Public enemy number one, private small
• 53:43
  business owners. Yeah. Right. There you go. By
• 53:47
  the way, here's a speaking of a state attorney
• 53:49
  general, a quick correction from the last show
• 53:52
  when we you had mentioned the Idaho the state
• 53:56
  Supreme Court taking a look at the story about
• 53:59
  the Supreme Court taking a look at HB 500, the
• 54:02
  quote, transgender athletic ban bill, I wanted
• 54:05
  to clarify that it's not the Idaho State Supreme
• 54:08
  Court that's going to be looking at it. It's
• 54:10
  SCOTUS. No. Oh, OK. I was unaware of that. I
• 54:13
  knew I thought it was Idaho. And I'll admit,
• 54:16
  that's my fault. I just figured it was a given.
• 54:18
  We knew that it was being challenged. That's
• 54:22
  my fault. I just assumed it was being challenged
• 54:24
  at the state level. It is all the way up at the
• 54:27
  big old national stage and that's happening in
• 54:29
  January. Making waves. Well, doesn't that just
• 54:32
  fit that Idaho makes headlines for what the media
• 54:36
  will refer to as a trans ban bill? So in the
• 54:42
  national media headlines, oh my gosh, you know
• 54:46
  they're going to have a field day with it because
• 54:48
  it's blood red Idaho bringing up a trans ban
• 54:52
  bill. They're gonna run with that one. You know,
• 54:54
  they are speaking of running That's what you
• 54:57
  have to do if you're late for school and there's
• 54:59
  no bus We got our first taste of winter this
• 55:02
  weekend parents in Spirit Lake growing more concerned
• 55:05
  as their kids are now facing the harsh reality
• 55:08
  of getting to school without a bus the Lakeland
• 55:10
  School District cut several bus routes after
• 55:12
  a levy failed and families were given just two
• 55:14
  weeks notice before the school year began Alexandra
• 55:17
  Coney art shows us the impact these cuts are
• 55:19
  having now as temperatures continue to drop Snow
• 55:23
  covered sidewalks, poorly lit streets. That's
• 55:26
  the new route some kids in Spirit Lake are walking
• 55:28
  to school. It's manageable for those who live
• 55:31
  near schools, but far more difficult for those
• 55:34
  in the outskirts. It just seems a little bit.
• 55:38
  unrealistic to expect kids to walk two miles
• 55:40
  each way every day to go to school, especially
• 55:43
  in the winter. Marin Meyer has two sixth grade
• 55:45
  sons and a 16 year old daughter. We usually had
• 55:48
  the bus come by right here at the street corner
• 55:50
  across from my house. That changed when the Lakeland
• 55:53
  School District cut eight bus routes. When it
• 55:55
  was nice out, the boys and Sadie like they rode
• 55:58
  their bikes, you know, to school and back and
• 56:00
  it was no big deal. But we were all really kind
• 56:02
  of nervous to see what was going to happen when
• 56:03
  the snow started falling. There are still some
• 56:05
  buses running for kids who live more than one
• 56:08
  and a half to two miles away from school. However,
• 56:11
  parents tell me that walk often ends up feeling
• 56:14
  long and is especially concerning in these conditions.
• 56:18
  I can't wait for all of the like the grandparents
• 56:22
  of these kids already have these stories lined
• 56:24
  up walking both ways uphill. Right. Yeah. In
• 56:28
  knee deep snow. I mean, like back in my day.
• 56:30
  Yeah. I didn't even have buses. I would have
• 56:34
  had a bus if we had only just given up a little
• 56:37
  bit more of our money. By the way, do you know
• 56:39
  what the Lakeland School District Superintendent
• 56:42
  makes its public information? I bet you it's
• 56:46
  six figures. $160 ,000. More specifically, I
• 56:50
  bet how much? $160 ,000. I was going to guess
• 56:56
  specifically $120 ,000. Wow, I was off by another
• 56:59
  $40 ,000. Yeah. So I wonder how many... How many
• 57:03
  bus routes could come back if school administrators
• 57:08
  would chip in? There's stats all over the place
• 57:13
  about how for state run state run indoctrination
• 57:16
  camps, as they really should be called, because
• 57:18
  that's what they are. Enrollment over the last
• 57:21
  two, three decades, enrollments up eight percent,
• 57:24
  nine percent, you know, growing population still.
• 57:27
  The addition of teachers is up like 17 percent.
• 57:32
  But the growth of administrative positions and
• 57:36
  just straight -up admin is like 70 ish percent
• 57:40
  across all school districts. It's huge the bulk
• 57:44
  of funding now for indoctrination camps goes
• 57:49
  towards administrative roles and administration
• 57:52
  So every time these people complain about not
• 57:56
  having money for enough money for teachers and
• 57:58
  not having enough money for schools or books
• 58:00
  First off, there's hundreds of millions of dollars.
• 58:02
  There's so much money out there for schools.
• 58:05
  I mean, oh my gosh, that's a whole nother podcast
• 58:08
  we could do on how that stuff works. But if they
• 58:11
  really cared, then administrators would chip
• 58:14
  in, take a pay cut. How many buses would that
• 58:18
  help us afford? I know how this sounds to people
• 58:21
  who don't think along these lines. I can hear
• 58:26
  the responses, you know, like, well, what are
• 58:28
  you guys saying? Like, you know, you need money
• 58:31
  to attract talent. Teachers and administrators
• 58:34
  are necessary to run schools. I thought it was
• 58:37
  all about the kids. You can't. No, no, no, please.
• 58:40
  No. That's that's just what you use when you
• 58:41
  need a country. Won't somebody please think of
• 58:44
  the children. I do love that, though. It's all
• 58:46
  about the kids, but also like pay me six figures.
• 58:50
  Well, and so like, yeah. Well, so what are you
• 58:52
  guys saying? Like they're supposed to the superintendent
• 58:55
  is supposed to voluntarily take a pay cut so
• 58:57
  that the bus routes won't get cut. No, no, I
• 59:00
  don't need. Now I'll just speak for myself. I
• 59:03
  think this is kind of what we are saying. And
• 59:05
  you can tell me if you want to put a finer point
• 59:06
  on it. What we're saying is that. There is no
• 59:11
  amount of money that could be levied or increased
• 59:14
  via property taxes or otherwise raised from the
• 59:18
  citizenry that would solve these problems. No
• 59:23
  matter what amount was being taken and funneled
• 59:26
  toward, quote, schools, there would still be
• 59:29
  chronic under this and not enough of that and
• 59:33
  administrators making this and they need their
• 59:35
  five percent rate all of these issues would remain
• 59:37
  in place you would just be doing so at a different
• 59:39
  threshold the superintendent would be making
• 59:42
  215k a year and you would need to give teachers
• 59:45
  seven percent raises and we would need the arts
• 59:47
  program in the music program well no if you want
• 59:49
  that then you need to give us this all of that
• 59:51
  would remain it would just remain at a higher
• 59:54
  noise floor that's what we're saying it's never
• 1:00:00
  enough It's never enough point to a number that
• 1:00:03
  is enough. It will never ever stop. It will never
• 1:00:06
  be enough. The moment they have more money, it's
• 1:00:10
  spent on something else. Usually administration,
• 1:00:14
  not books, just more administration. There's
• 1:00:17
  no incentive to do otherwise. That's the thing.
• 1:00:20
  That's that is the nature of state departments
• 1:00:22
  and state programs and government. Anything that
• 1:00:24
  is the nature of it. Take all the money you can
• 1:00:26
  spend all of it and then ask for more. Despite
• 1:00:31
  that being true, You know what people really
• 1:00:57
  get worked up about gas prices are continuing
• 1:00:59
  to fall around the nation including here in the
• 1:01:02
  Inland Northwest According to gas buddy lower
• 1:01:04
  prices are expected to last into the new year
• 1:01:06
  in Spokane prices are down 5 .4 cents over the
• 1:01:09
  last week averaging 370 a gallon Coeur d 'Alene
• 1:01:13
  seeing an even bigger drop triple -a puts the
• 1:01:15
  average there at 299 a gallon down 10 cents from
• 1:01:18
  last week the national average is down 5 cents
• 1:01:20
  compared to last week to sitting at around $2
• 1:01:23
  90 cents a gallon that's what people really get
• 1:01:28
  animated about. Gas prices. Even though if you
• 1:01:31
  calculate the difference in your annual gas costs,
• 1:01:35
  even if you're commuting a lot and you have what
• 1:01:39
  seems like a large, it's $2 .95 a gallon versus
• 1:01:43
  California, it's $4 .28 a gallon, like these
• 1:01:46
  amounts that seem massive or, I mean, when it
• 1:01:49
  comes to gas prices, the difference on the marquee
• 1:01:52
  from the highway, you look at it, the difference
• 1:01:55
  between 349 a gallon and 309 a gallon, people
• 1:01:58
  would drive halfway across creation to go to
• 1:02:01
  that other gas station where it was 309 a gallon.
• 1:02:04
  But if you actually look at it at the end of
• 1:02:05
  the year, you saved about 185 bucks. If that
• 1:02:10
  I mean, if you have a 15 gallon tank, and you're
• 1:02:14
  saving even half a dollar per gallon, that's
• 1:02:19
  $7 .50. What's more important, though, Truly.
• 1:02:24
  And the thing that nobody talks about when it
• 1:02:25
  comes to gas is the gas taxes. Everybody likes
• 1:02:29
  to pick on the owners of gas stations and the
• 1:02:33
  oil companies for scalping everybody. But ironically
• 1:02:36
  enough, as a percentage, your local and state
• 1:02:40
  and federal governments actually make a significantly
• 1:02:43
  higher margin and profit on a gallon of gas than
• 1:02:46
  the companies who actually do the work to bring
• 1:02:48
  it up out of the ground, refine it and bring
• 1:02:50
  it to you. It's wild. But lower gas prices are
• 1:02:55
  nice and we should celebrate the beautiful little
• 1:02:58
  things look like it's a Christmas miracle. I've
• 1:03:02
  a couple more for this week on no ID. Let's hear
• 1:03:08
  this nice sort of semi threatening public service
• 1:03:12
  announcement from Shoshone Thompson and Moon
• 1:03:14
  Mountain passes in Chacon Shoshone County are
• 1:03:17
  officially closed for the season. Both passes
• 1:03:20
  will not reopen until late April or early May.
• 1:03:23
  The Shoshone County Sheriff's Office says they
• 1:03:25
  have had issues in the past with people who think
• 1:03:28
  they can beat the hazardous weather conditions.
• 1:03:31
  Our news partners, the Shoshone News Press, say
• 1:03:33
  SCSO will combat this by making people pay the
• 1:03:36
  cost of any rescue operations. They have to threaten
• 1:03:41
  you a little bit there at the end. Don't you
• 1:03:42
  try it. You're going to pay. Don't you do it.
• 1:03:48
  And you know that is that is directly. correlated
• 1:03:51
  to what has, what just happened. It just showed
• 1:03:54
  like last month or two months ago where, you
• 1:03:56
  know, all of the hullabaloo about search and
• 1:03:58
  rescue, not being managed properly for the, for
• 1:04:00
  the hunter. They got himself killed up there.
• 1:04:03
  They're just like, let's just, let's just get
• 1:04:04
  out in front of this one right now. I mean, the
• 1:04:08
  Shoshone County Sheriff is like, no, I, you know,
• 1:04:10
  I don't want to get fired too. Let's just get
• 1:04:12
  out in front of this issue right now. Public
• 1:04:14
  service announcement. Here we go. Meanwhile,
• 1:04:18
  the guy who just got ousted is like, damn it,
• 1:04:20
  why did I think of that? Here's another fun one,
• 1:04:24
  because, you know, we're now in the we're now
• 1:04:26
  getting into the dog. You know, are there dog
• 1:04:29
  days of winter? And, you know, they talk about
• 1:04:31
  the dog days of summer. What are those called
• 1:04:32
  in the winter? Hmm. I'll get back to you on that.
• 1:04:37
  OK. This past week we got the first taste of
• 1:04:40
  winter weather. For many drivers the first time
• 1:04:42
  in a while they had to navigate some snowy roads.
• 1:04:45
  A class in North Idaho helping people become
• 1:04:47
  reacquainted with winter driving. When it comes
• 1:04:50
  to driving in the snow there's a lot to learn
• 1:04:53
  and there are a lot who want to learn it. An
• 1:04:56
  influx of people moving into the northwest as
• 1:04:58
  everybody knows. People that haven't been driving
• 1:05:01
  in the snow very, very much or at all. And then
• 1:05:04
  we also have the newer drivers, the people that
• 1:05:06
  are just getting their driver's license. That's
• 1:05:08
  why we do these classes. The classes are hosted
• 1:05:10
  by Idaho State Police and the Idaho Transportation
• 1:05:13
  Department. Their first tip might seem obvious,
• 1:05:16
  but it's one that's stuck with the students.
• 1:05:19
  Slow down, back up, take your time. Just like
• 1:05:23
  shady corners or icy and, you know, just slow
• 1:05:27
  down. ISP says driving too fast for the conditions,
• 1:05:31
  as well as following too close, are the top causes
• 1:05:33
  for accidents. Following the people in front
• 1:05:36
  of them, the summertime is a three second rule.
• 1:05:38
  We're going to bump that up to probably nine,
• 1:05:40
  10 seconds in the wintertime. We live up kind
• 1:05:44
  of in the mountains, so our roads don't get plowed
• 1:05:48
  very much. The mountains. Did you catch it? I
• 1:05:50
  did catch it. The mountains. Mountains. It's
• 1:05:55
  the same word as the last kid. What is that?
• 1:05:58
  What is the mystique about the word mountains
• 1:06:05
  that they can't use? They got to omit the T?
• 1:06:08
  We live up kind of in the mountains, so our roads
• 1:06:12
  don't get plowed very much. My parents wanted
• 1:06:16
  me to get the education about winter driving
• 1:06:20
  that I... Now you notice she says winter drive
• 1:06:23
  about winter driving it. She didn't say winter.
• 1:06:26
  How come she finds the T for winter? Kind of
• 1:06:29
  in the mountains. Everybody got against mountains.
• 1:06:33
  You gotta admire the consistency about winter
• 1:06:35
  driving that I need. The two hour class covered
• 1:06:38
  things from tire tread to not crowding snowplows
• 1:06:42
  to proper hand placement on the steering wheel.
• 1:06:44
  I've been driving for over 40 years, but one
• 1:06:47
  thing I took away was the nine and three. When
• 1:06:49
  I took drivers out, it was 10 and two. But the
• 1:06:52
  best piece of advi attention to what's going
• 1:06:56
  of the mistakes that I see would be distracted
• 1:07:00
  drivin looking at their cell pho music in North
• 1:07:04
  Idaho and M for News Now. Some of the m people
• 1:07:10
  are making is just the road in the first pla
• 1:07:17
  piece of health advice if you absolutely cannot
• 1:07:20
  stay home. So Brooks recommends wearing a mask,
• 1:07:23
  wearing a mask, wearing a mask. So definitely
• 1:07:27
  if you have to drive in your car by yourself.
• 1:07:31
  Now, I still once in a blue moon, I will still
• 1:07:33
  see that in the dog days of the mass psychosis
• 1:07:37
  event. I saw it all the time. Studies have shown
• 1:07:41
  that if you wear a mask alone in your car during
• 1:07:45
  winter, you get up to 45 % better traction in
• 1:07:49
  the snow. If you have a powered by Dee's nuts
• 1:07:54
  sticker on the rear window of your Acura, you
• 1:07:57
  gain 40 horsepower. You get like 60 % less, less
• 1:08:01
  traction, but more horsepower. Yeah, that makes
• 1:08:03
  sense. Let's leave you guys with this for this
• 1:08:06
  week. I'm sure you'll be devastated to know that
• 1:08:10
  Idaho got a report card from a activist organization
• 1:08:15
  in the People's Republic of California, and you'll
• 1:08:17
  never guess what they graded us. The nonprofit,
• 1:08:20
  the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence,
• 1:08:22
  has given the state of Idaho an F for what the
• 1:08:26
  California -based NGO says is Idaho's lack of
• 1:08:29
  strong gun control laws. It's the center's annual
• 1:08:32
  scorecard grading and ranking each state on the
• 1:08:35
  strength of gun laws. Idaho is not alone. There
• 1:08:39
  are nearly two dozen states that received an
• 1:08:41
  upgrade in the annual scorecard. The center says
• 1:08:45
  Idaho is some of the weakest gun laws in the
• 1:08:47
  nation. Yeah, go Idaho. We put the F in firearms.
• 1:09:03
  We just wanted you to know that you got an F.
• 1:09:06
  We feel bad for you. Oh, yeah. Well, we're Utah's
• 1:09:10
  top hat and we don't think about you at all.
• 1:09:13
  All right. Think about the hubris you have to
• 1:09:17
  have as a state to give another state a report
• 1:09:20
  card on anything. But at least of all, something
• 1:09:24
  that doesn't even impact you. Good job, California.
• 1:09:27
  Way to be self -important. Thank you, California.
• 1:09:32
  You're doing a yeoman's job lecturing the nation.
• 1:09:36
  Yeah. If only they put as much effort into, I
• 1:09:39
  don't know, sound economics or anything that
• 1:09:41
  didn't suck. You know, the best way to bring
• 1:09:46
  down home prices up here in North Idaho and to
• 1:09:50
  otherwise, you know, less traffic, all of the
• 1:09:53
  sort of problems with growth, is to make California
• 1:09:56
  livable again. One can only hope. But until that
• 1:10:01
  day, we'll have to keep giving classes on how
• 1:10:03
  to drive in the snow. Yeah, but keep your hands...
• 1:10:07
  It's left hand at 12 and right hand holding a
• 1:10:10
  breakfast burrito. and make sure that if you're
• 1:10:13
  or beer if or beer and make sure that if you're
• 1:10:16
  in the left lane if somebody comes up behind
• 1:10:19
  you they have it's the autobahn i mean you you
• 1:10:20
  let them pass i don't care if you're doing 100
• 1:10:22
  if someone comes up behind you for safety you
• 1:10:25
  must let them pass if they want to pass i think
• 1:10:28
  that's pretty much how i would if you're in the
• 1:10:29
  left lane you better be driving with a british
• 1:10:32
  accent that's all i know My wife is standing
• 1:10:34
  here giving me the she's using her index finger
• 1:10:37
  and pointing at a wrist so I think that means
• 1:10:40
  we're done tonight Firm but fair Thank you everyone
