• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey, welcome back. It's
• 0:26
  No ID. North Idaho's mainstream media deconstruction.
• 0:30
  Because all the regions have mainstream apparatuses
• 0:32
  that propagandize. I'm Scott. Hello internet,
• 0:36
  I'm Paul. How are we doing today? I'm assuming
• 0:40
  but when you say we you're you're talking to
• 0:41
  your laptop, right? How are we doing today? And
• 0:43
  you're like petting the top of it. Yeah Yeah,
• 0:45
  and then it does that like hello Dave or good
• 0:48
  morning, Dave. Good morning Paul. Actually, it
• 0:50
  just calls you Dave. It's still broken. Good
• 0:53
  morning, Dave. Oh chat GTP. You tried. Good job.
• 0:58
  All right. Well, I don't use chat GTP or any
• 1:01
  of them. I don't use any of them. You use AI
• 1:03
  though, which is, you know, helps us out. But
• 1:06
  I've never used it caveman in the Clark Fort
• 1:09
  castle. That's what I am I kind of heard somebody
• 1:12
  making that Basically, there's two there's the
• 1:16
  divergent camps where you know There's like there's
• 1:18
  the people that are like trying to be trying
• 1:21
  to master the technology and be you know The
• 1:24
  the first wave of people who know how to use
• 1:26
  it so they can be valuable in the in the AI economy
• 1:29
  And then the other half is just moving as deep
• 1:32
  into the woods as they can Yeah I'd say that's
• 1:37
  pretty close. Just probably there's a third group
• 1:38
  that sort of just doesn't care. I would be firmly
• 1:41
  in the in -between. I don't care, Cam, but I
• 1:44
  also am trying to get as far out into the woods
• 1:45
  as possible. But that's been for 20 years. Yeah,
• 1:48
  that's not new. Yeah, that part's not new. It's
• 1:51
  not. I thought the woods were cool way before
• 1:53
  AI came out. Here we are. I mean, there's a bunch
• 1:56
  of different stuff that used to be called like
• 1:59
  AI used to be called CGI. No, we don't call it
• 2:02
  that anymore. You don't understand, man. This
• 2:04
  is a computer manipulating images and videos
• 2:06
  to make it look different. Yeah. Isn't, isn't
• 2:09
  that CGI? No, no, no. This is AI. Did I lose
• 2:14
  you? Good points. No, no, I would just, I'm processing.
• 2:18
  Pondering what I said. I'm a slow processor.
• 2:19
  It's been a long, dude. Yeah. The episode of
• 2:22
  Paul's bum leg continues. I'd had to actually,
• 2:26
  so you're going to love this. It's in theme with
• 2:28
  me not thinking about you or caring ever. So
• 2:30
  I went, I was actually in Post Falls yesterday.
• 2:33
  Oh, and I didn't tell you. Yeah, no, yeah, I
• 2:35
  know right on purpose. I thought about it the
• 2:38
  whole way down I was thinking about you the whole
• 2:39
  way down and how I wasn't gonna let you know
• 2:41
  I was in town No, I had ended up in the urgent
• 2:45
  care because I flailed in the middle of the night
• 2:48
  while dreaming and woke up and popped something
• 2:51
  in my Achilles tendon that I'm trying to heal.
• 2:54
  Oh Had one of those oh just classic. Oh shit.
• 2:57
  Oh my god. What did I just do to myself moments?
• 3:00
  Yeah Yeah, so the next morning I'm all bruised
• 3:04
  and everything hurts and I had to come down and
• 3:06
  make sure that everything was still intact in
• 3:08
  the way it was supposed to be. Thankfully, they
• 3:11
  said, yeah, you did. You'd set yourself back
• 3:14
  a couple of weeks, but you're still intact. So
• 3:17
  sometimes when my dog is flopped out on her side
• 3:20
  in the middle of the stone tile floor deep in
• 3:22
  her REM cycle and she's like sort of halfway
• 3:26
  running and whimpering in her sleep. And I'm
• 3:28
  always like, oh, she's got to be like in her
• 3:30
  dream. She's chasing a rabbit. you know, through
• 3:33
  a field or something like that. Like, do you
• 3:35
  remember what it is you were doing? Maybe playing
• 3:37
  basketball in your dream? That'd be ironic. Yeah.
• 3:41
  In fact, I was wearing my pajamas that had the
• 3:43
  number 13 all over them. No, I don't remember
• 3:47
  the dream specifically, but I do remember I was
• 3:50
  going fast. I think I was on a toboggan or a
• 3:53
  car in a car or something. I don't know. I just
• 3:55
  know I was going fast. And then I like stopped
• 3:58
  really quickly as well. And then I lurched forward
• 4:02
  in my dream. I also lurched forward and flailed
• 4:05
  in the real life. It's so lame, too, man, because
• 4:07
  I sleep with this big ass boot, this air cast
• 4:10
  boot. It's just huge and retarded. And I scrunched
• 4:14
  my foot and my leg in there and keep it all nice
• 4:17
  and snug and compressed so that this kind of
• 4:19
  shit doesn't happen. And I so violently woke
• 4:21
  up from my dream that it didn't matter. Oh, dude,
• 4:25
  no, not fun. So anyway, so now I'm now I'm visualizing
• 4:29
  because Paul and his The roommate that he has
• 4:33
  the benefits with sleep in a very small bed like
• 4:36
  like I think it's a is it a full No, it's a queen.
• 4:39
  It's okay. See well since I'm used to a king,
• 4:43
  you know It seems that everything seems like
• 4:45
  a twin basically, but you see my wife and I we
• 4:48
  don't have relationship issues We don't need
• 4:49
  that much space. We like yeah, but your boot
• 4:52
  does each other Yeah, unfortunately, you're sleeping
• 4:56
  with that boot is like sleeping with a dog on
• 4:58
  the bed. It takes up so much space. It's dumb
• 5:00
  And we have our kid, too, still. We have a room
• 5:05
  for our child, who just turned one this month,
• 5:08
  and he's never slept in his own room yet. I'm
• 5:12
  telling you, for such a little human being, kids
• 5:14
  take up a lot of space. I'm sure you probably
• 5:16
  know that, too. You've got a two -year -old,
• 5:17
  three -year -old, too. Yeah, she's two, and she
• 5:21
  was upstairs in her own room. I think it was
• 5:23
  only maybe three months, four months, and then
• 5:25
  we had her out of our room and into her own room
• 5:26
  and on a different floor of the house. She has
• 5:30
  her own king bed. You know, you joke, but as
• 5:34
  of last week, she is in her queen bed. She's
• 5:37
  in her big girl bed and bye -bye went the crib
• 5:40
  that converted to a bed. She's now this tiny
• 5:42
  little kid in this huge queen bed. I did not
• 5:44
  sleep in a queen bed until I was like 24 years
• 5:46
  old. That sounds about right for me too. In my
• 5:49
  college years, I actually downgraded. I went
• 5:51
  from a nice bed when I was staying with my folks,
• 5:54
  living with my folks. Just a foal, which is a
• 5:57
  weird name, by the way, for a foal. is like smaller
• 5:59
  than a queen. Right. Queen is smaller than a
• 6:02
  king. Those those make sense. But a full is actually
• 6:04
  it's even smaller. I don't know. All right. We
• 6:08
  should probably get to this deconstruction. Yeah.
• 6:11
  A final thought on the small like the full. Shouldn't
• 6:14
  the full be the biggest bed possible? But instead,
• 6:16
  it's like fourth of six. Doesn't make sense.
• 6:19
  It's like, you know, used to be small, medium
• 6:21
  and large, you know, at the at the Carl's Jr.
• 6:23
  Now it's like medium, large and XL. Everything's
• 6:27
  all messed up. I don't know what's what. Well
• 6:29
  when it comes to my master bedroom It's the closest
• 6:33
  we can get is like going to Burger King because
• 6:34
  I just told Mary that we're gonna biggie size
• 6:36
  everything and she can have it her way Okay,
• 6:41
  let's uh speaking of having things your way I
• 6:43
  don't know why that's related, but I want to
• 6:45
  pick up where we left off in episode 19 and We
• 6:49
  left off by promising that we would lead today's
• 6:52
  show with some of your thoughts for Matt Todd,
• 6:56
  the host of The Ranch and his feedback that he
• 6:59
  sent us that we didn't get a chance to read on
• 7:00
  the last show because we got so obsessed with
• 7:03
  playing his interview with Melissa Wintrow that
• 7:06
  we just didn't get to it. So I want to start
• 7:08
  today's show with it. I think before I read and
• 7:11
  sort of refresh the memory of what the subject
• 7:14
  and it's basically about the Idaho budget and
• 7:17
  your assertions slash our assertions on I think
• 7:21
  episode 18. About the or might even been 17 the
• 7:24
  growth of the budget and having and in the last
• 7:27
  What is it six or seven years as you mentioned
• 7:29
  a bunch of times it has grown by like approaching
• 7:32
  70 % Yeah, well the numbers are in the last seven
• 7:37
  years The Idaho State budget has grown by 66
• 7:41
  % as far as sheer dollars goes now There are
• 7:44
  a number of politicians most of which reside
• 7:47
  on the left and a lot of them are republics now
• 7:49
  I use air quotes Republicans who? Act and behave
• 7:53
  an awful lot like Democrats who have been going
• 7:55
  around recently almost make it a damn Talking
• 7:59
  tour out of it letting everybody know that actually
• 8:02
  actually It's only like a 2 % increase because
• 8:05
  of inflation and the way we do budgets and it's
• 8:08
  like, okay Well on paper you are not wrong depending
• 8:13
  on how you math stuff out, but neither Are we
• 8:17
  wrong because the truth is the Idaho budget in
• 8:20
  sheer dollars is 60 percent larger than it was
• 8:22
  seven years ago. And we spend a ton more money
• 8:26
  and we still tax ourselves pretty heavily while
• 8:29
  we're doing it. So the man with two names, Mr.
• 8:33
  Matt Todd, who I know has a an excellent podcast
• 8:35
  and listens to many, many different sides and
• 8:39
  many different important people, sent some feedback.
• 8:43
  But we'll get into that. So I guess kick us off,
• 8:45
  Scott. I would like to kick it off by playing
• 8:48
  another clip from his interview with Melissa
• 8:51
  Wintrow. In this one, you'll actually hear his
• 8:53
  voice, the previous clips we played of her speaking
• 8:56
  that we were bashing the government into the
• 8:59
  ground by only giving the agencies 98 % of their
• 9:02
  budget and et cetera. This part I didn't play
• 9:05
  on the last show, but I want you to hear just
• 9:07
  another sort of stereotypical... Democrat stream
• 9:12
  of consciousness from that is emanating from
• 9:14
  Wintro and then Matt's reaction so you can actually
• 9:18
  hear his voice some of my colleagues like what's
• 9:20
  your endgame here if you don't want to fund the
• 9:23
  government what is your endgame is it anarchy
• 9:25
  is it every man for himself like what is it because
• 9:28
  that's not the community or yeah no she's using
• 9:30
  it like a pejorative isn't that funny like what
• 9:32
  are you saying every time Anarchy? Everybody
• 9:35
  does. Everybody on the right, the neo -right,
• 9:39
  the neo -left, even conservatives most of the
• 9:41
  time. You say the word anarchists and they conjure
• 9:44
  up images of young people in Portland smashing
• 9:47
  Starbucks windows in the name of anarchy. Yes,
• 9:50
  yes. The backpack with the A with the circle
• 9:53
  and the bracelet with the spikes on it. Yeah,
• 9:57
  except all of those people are hardcore authoritarian
• 10:00
  statists. They're not anarchists at all. They're
• 10:03
  leftists who want their version of a bigger government.
• 10:07
  And most people just are lazy and haven't done
• 10:10
  the research to actually know what anarchist
• 10:11
  means. So that's a term I all, cause I am an
• 10:14
  anarcho capitalist. I know what it actually means
• 10:16
  and terms have, you know, words and terms actually
• 10:19
  have real meaning. And if you take the time to
• 10:21
  know what those are, That you're a better person
• 10:24
  for it, but most people don't take the time So
• 10:27
  anarchy gets used as a pejorative 99 % of the
• 10:29
  time So I'm gonna play the rest of this through
• 10:31
  and there's also a couple more of her weird laugh
• 10:35
  tells So if you don't want to fund the government,
• 10:38
  what is your anarchy? Is it every man for himself?
• 10:40
  Like what is it? Because that's not the community
• 10:43
  or the world I want to live in if we all just
• 10:45
  pay our fair share Right, right, right. We can
• 10:49
  have a sidewalk to walk on, get the potholes
• 10:52
  fixed, make sure the lights are on, the broadband
• 10:55
  is there. I can send my kid to school. There's
• 10:58
  a college down the road. Lights, broadband. You
• 11:01
  know all that boring stuff that we couldn't do
• 11:03
  without government. And not only that, I pay
• 11:05
  for the lights separately. I pay for internet
• 11:08
  separately. You take the money for public schools.
• 11:10
  I'm not using your public schools. I'm in a home
• 11:12
  school. I wouldn't send my kid to public school
• 11:14
  for love or money. Are you kidding me? The tell
• 11:18
  here is how benign she makes everything sound.
• 11:22
  Like they are the common sense stance. She's
• 11:26
  the reasonable one. Oh, you know, just a normal
• 11:29
  person who wants all these things. And the premise
• 11:31
  that I'm operating from is that we could never
• 11:33
  possibly have these things unless everybody allowed
• 11:35
  the government to point a gun at their head and
• 11:38
  steal as much of their money as we could humanly
• 11:41
  do. You know lights are on broadband is there
• 11:44
  I can send my kid to school. There's a college
• 11:47
  down the road I mean these are all things that
• 11:49
  help thriving communities and it and it shouldn't
• 11:52
  be every man for himself all the time like it's
• 11:54
  just ridiculous to You know, I can't tell you
• 11:57
  something. I really dislike to pay your fair
• 12:01
  share articulation That was you tell me how to
• 12:04
  better. No, I'm not no. No, I'm not that's kind
• 12:07
  of the part I wanted you to hear she uses the
• 12:09
  the the classic, uh, just as, as effed out and
• 12:14
  like, I don't know, what do you even call that?
• 12:16
  It's so ridiculous to even use that phrasing.
• 12:18
  It's so cartoonish to say something so stupid,
• 12:21
  like pay your fair share. Like it was on a teleprompter,
• 12:24
  but it isn't, it's just, this is her stream of
• 12:26
  consciousness, but it just goes to show you how
• 12:28
  programmed even the stream of consciousness is.
• 12:31
  You know, it's like, it's like her brain is a
• 12:33
  teleprompter for her own thoughts. The second
• 12:37
  that Matt Todd challenges her on it, she immediately
• 12:39
  reverts back to, well, what do you have that's
• 12:42
  better? Exactly. She can't even fathom that anybody
• 12:45
  would object to that. Is there anything else
• 12:46
  out there? Well, you tell me. I mean, what should
• 12:49
  I say? To pay your fair share. Articulation.
• 12:53
  Did you keep me telling me how to better say
• 12:54
  that? No, I'm not. I've never even considered
• 12:56
  how that might sound to some people and maybe
• 12:59
  another way to say that. Of course, like the...
• 13:02
  It's so self -evidently ridiculous to say something
• 13:05
  like that. Any thinking person, the first question
• 13:08
  that would pop into one's head would be, who
• 13:10
  is gatekeeping what a fair share is? Who decides
• 13:15
  that? The whole attitude that these folks have,
• 13:21
  and they are everywhere, from the federal level
• 13:24
  all the way to your HOA. They live amongst us.
• 13:27
  They are the majority, actually. Here's the general
• 13:30
  attitude that they don't say, that they say without
• 13:33
  actually saying it, especially when you challenge
• 13:35
  them. Can't we have a civil discussion about
• 13:38
  my plans to have you thrown in a cage if you
• 13:41
  don't pay for what I want? Like I'm the unreasonable
• 13:45
  one. There's an example I always like to use
• 13:48
  where, you know, imagine you're in a neighborhood.
• 13:50
  Most people live in neighborhoods and imagine
• 13:52
  your neighbors come to your door and there's,
• 13:55
  let's just say there's three of them and they're
• 13:56
  the heads of the HOA and they've got another
• 13:59
  guy with them, a fourth, who's pretty big and
• 14:02
  intimidating. And they go, Hey, so we've decided
• 14:04
  there's too much crime in the neighborhood and
• 14:06
  we decided we need to hire security. And we've
• 14:10
  also decided that we're going to do this as a
• 14:13
  neighborhood and everybody has to pay their fair
• 14:15
  share for this guy here, the security or for
• 14:18
  the contract. And I go, well, I don't feel that
• 14:21
  there's too much crime or I don't feel threatened
• 14:24
  or I don't have an issue or maybe I do, but hey,
• 14:26
  that's okay. I can defend myself. I will happily
• 14:30
  leave the defense of my family and my home to
• 14:32
  me, please. and i'll keep my money or i'll hire
• 14:35
  my own firm if i want or whatever other number
• 14:38
  of options and they go no you don't understand
• 14:39
  that's not how this works your dues are going
• 14:42
  up a hundred dollars a month and if you don't
• 14:44
  pay your those dues they go to this guy to keep
• 14:47
  the neighborhood safe this guy whose job it is
• 14:50
  to keep the neighborhood safe is going to come
• 14:52
  to you and kidnap you and put you in a cage and
• 14:56
  if you resist he will hurt you if you resist
• 14:59
  enough he'll kill you In any other circumstance
• 15:03
  other than what we've been conditioned to accept
• 15:06
  now That is patently absurd and your immediate
• 15:11
  knee -jerk reaction is to go fuck that situation
• 15:14
  like that's That's ridiculous. I would never
• 15:17
  we would never do that, but that's That's exactly
• 15:21
  how all of this works Okay, I'd like to now read
• 15:27
  some of Matt's feedback for for us after he had
• 15:30
  listened to the points that we were making. And
• 15:33
  like I said, I think it was more you, but in
• 15:35
  any case, on the most. Yeah, it was me. OK. I
• 15:39
  didn't want to like, shirk responsibility or
• 15:41
  anything, but you know. No, no, no, it was it
• 15:43
  was me. I saw the texts and it was directed directly
• 15:46
  at me. And in fact, I think he even referred
• 15:48
  to me as your boy. Yeah, something like tell
• 15:53
  your boy, blotty, blotty, blotty, blotty. It's
• 15:55
  like, damn, Matt Todd. All right. All right.
• 15:57
  Well, yeah. OK, so let's see. I'm just going
• 15:59
  to read from his text. This is this is quoting
• 16:01
  him. Population and inflation paired together
• 16:05
  have made a huge impact. Idaho is one of the
• 16:07
  hottest retirement destinations in the country.
• 16:09
  So you have people coming here that are largely
• 16:11
  unproductive. Retired people draw on our services
• 16:14
  much more aggressively than people our age. They
• 16:17
  also do not like paying taxes, which no one does.
• 16:20
  But retired people from SoCal move here and refuse
• 16:24
  to vote for a single bond or levy associated
• 16:26
  with services because they were hypertaxed in
• 16:28
  California. That's a huge problem here in the
• 16:31
  Treasure Valley. Well, just for extra context,
• 16:35
  Matt Todd also wrote a lot of this in response
• 16:37
  to one of the things I had said about making
• 16:39
  growth pay for itself, like why can't we do that
• 16:42
  or how can we do that? So he's so Matt's also
• 16:45
  referring to the fact that it's been basically
• 16:48
  impossible for growth to pay for itself because
• 16:50
  of the nature of the growth that we've experienced
• 16:53
  here in Idaho. Yes. Okay. That's a good point.
• 16:57
  Exactly. So this is the last point of this text.
• 17:00
  And there were a couple more below it. But the
• 17:02
  last point of the one I was just reading, and
• 17:04
  this is the most important part, how your boy
• 17:06
  feels, quote unquote, the state should be run
• 17:10
  with growth, growth, paying for growth is not
• 17:12
  the way it's actually run. Our taxing system
• 17:15
  does not have that mechanism currently. HB 389
• 17:19
  from 2021 changed the tax structure. It used
• 17:22
  to be that if you had a hundred houses in a town
• 17:25
  and you added 10, you now had 10 % more property
• 17:28
  tax revenue. That seems common sense. HB 389
• 17:32
  changed that completely and said instead, look,
• 17:35
  what's your budget? A million dollars? Great.
• 17:37
  If you have a hundred houses paying for that,
• 17:39
  then it's $10 ,000 per house. Fine. If you add
• 17:42
  10 more houses, your budget remains $1 million.
• 17:45
  But now it's distributed across 110 houses, not
• 17:48
  100. So each house now pays $9 ,090. That's how
• 17:52
  the tax system works here right now. Growth does
• 17:55
  not pay for growth. Yeah. So I'll be honest,
• 17:59
  I did not know that. I'm glad Matt Todd brought
• 18:01
  that up. I did not know that. That's a tough
• 18:04
  that puts particularly county governments and
• 18:08
  city governments as well in a tough spot. As
• 18:11
  a taxpayer and a property owner, I love it because
• 18:15
  then it means the more people who come here,
• 18:17
  and we are in a growing state, theoretically
• 18:20
  the less I should be paying in property taxes
• 18:22
  because the bill stays the same but gets split
• 18:25
  amongst more residents, which I think is a great,
• 18:28
  it's a great deal. Or I should say a better deal.
• 18:31
  A great deal would be not paying rent to the
• 18:33
  government at all on the property that I should
• 18:36
  own and theoretically do own. But if you pay
• 18:39
  rent, you don't own. But that is a challenge
• 18:42
  for the county governments. There's no way I
• 18:46
  can argue otherwise. What do you do about that?
• 18:49
  I know a lot of the cities in the counties have
• 18:51
  responded with increased impact fees, which then
• 18:53
  goes back to the other issue of housing affordability.
• 18:56
  Impact fees are a huge reason why housing is
• 18:58
  less affordable. So that feels like a lose -lose.
• 19:04
  As far as the demographics of who are moving
• 19:06
  here, again, Matt Todd is correct. We see it
• 19:09
  in Bonner County and Kootenai County heavily.
• 19:12
  The populations up here are heavily geriatric.
• 19:15
  The average age in North Idaho is, I think it's
• 19:18
  in the mid to high 50s. And a huge, huge, huge
• 19:21
  portion of that is retirees or people who are
• 19:23
  close to retiring who moved up here, largely
• 19:25
  from California. And a lot of them, Kootenai
• 19:27
  County in particular, has a huge swath of retired
• 19:32
  police, law enforcement, police chiefs, et cetera,
• 19:34
  et cetera. Mostly, again, from California. They're
• 19:37
  retired. They come up. They have insane benefits,
• 19:41
  platinum benefits, double platinum benefits and
• 19:44
  pensions and all that kind of stuff. And ironically,
• 19:46
  they're the first people who will talk about
• 19:48
  how much they hate taxes while living off of
• 19:50
  benefits that are bankrupting the state they
• 19:52
  move from. They also are, of course, super pro
• 19:57
  cop, super anti freedom when it comes to things
• 20:00
  like poker and marijuana. And they are. Yeah,
• 20:03
  it's one of the reasons why the county is. so
• 20:05
  anti -freedom in a few ways. So yeah, challenges.
• 20:09
  And you're right, they don't contribute when
• 20:11
  it comes to payroll and they don't vote for levies
• 20:15
  or bonds, which I don't either, because I don't
• 20:18
  want to pay more. I want to pay less and I should
• 20:20
  pay less. So should everybody. So, well, I hear
• 20:24
  there's more to read. So yes, there's more to
• 20:26
  read. Yep. So let me go on here. Just to bury
• 20:29
  this point, he says, there are actually two budgets
• 20:32
  the general fund the Idaho taxpayer dollars and
• 20:34
  the total budget that's tax dollars with federal
• 20:37
  dollars which are all they're all coming from
• 20:40
  the same place which is us but okay see that's
• 20:43
  and that's another thing like you know oh well
• 20:45
  we only have a six percent income tax rate and
• 20:48
  Idaho's taxes are like you know relatively low
• 20:50
  and this that yeah i know but everyone still
• 20:52
  plays federal tax like We're still all working
• 20:55
  for half the year for various government apparatuses.
• 20:59
  So it'd be nice if once in a while that was acknowledged
• 21:02
  because while Idaho might be a thing, the federal
• 21:05
  thing remains a thing. OK. Well, Matt Todd's
• 21:09
  going to definitely talk about that second point
• 21:12
  about the general fund versus the total budget,
• 21:14
  because the politicians down there in Boise,
• 21:16
  that's how they play that game all the time.
• 21:19
  Like Medicaid expansion was pushed something
• 21:23
  that if we didn't do we were gonna miss out on
• 21:26
  federal dollars and that was one of the biggest
• 21:28
  points the proponents of it used to get Medicaid
• 21:31
  expansion passed with the voters by saying oh
• 21:34
  well the the feds will cover most of the bill
• 21:36
  and so we really won't actually bankrupt the
• 21:39
  state of course that was survey says that was
• 21:41
  a lie already it only took a few years because
• 21:44
  every other state has shown that to be a lie
• 21:45
  and number two is that, well, if we don't take
• 21:48
  those federal dollars, some other state will,
• 21:50
  and it's our money anyways, we might as well
• 21:51
  take it. Well, yes and no. Yeah, we get taxed
• 21:55
  at the federal level, and that sucks, just like
• 21:57
  everything else. But a ton of federal dollars
• 22:00
  are just printed out of thin air. See, the state
• 22:04
  can't do that. The state is not allowed, no state
• 22:07
  is allowed to print money out of thin air, but
• 22:09
  the federal government can, and that's where
• 22:12
  the billions and billions and billions of dollars
• 22:15
  come from. That eclipse receipts so, you know
• 22:19
  the federal the government has receipts what
• 22:21
  they get in taxes and has expenditures what they
• 22:23
  spend and they never are the same Well, how do
• 22:26
  you come up with that gap where you spend more
• 22:29
  than you take in and taxes you print it out of
• 22:31
  thin air That's that's why they you know took
• 22:33
  the dollar off the gold standard in 1971 or two
• 22:37
  so they can fund wars and do shit like that So
• 22:40
  what you what you're doing? when you use it,
• 22:43
  when these politicians are like, yeah, but our
• 22:45
  federal, the federal dollars, it's like, thank
• 22:47
  you for furthering the bankrupt, your grandchildren,
• 22:50
  your children, your grandchildren and your great
• 22:52
  grandchildren. Because what you've done is just
• 22:54
  contribute heavily to inflation, which is just
• 22:56
  another tax on the people who are living now.
• 22:59
  And it's debt for your children, grandchildren
• 23:01
  and great grandchildren. Congratulations idiots.
• 23:06
  Okay. Let me continue on with this. population
• 23:09
  over the last six years. I'm not calling Matt
• 23:10
  Todd an idiot, by the way. That's not what I'm
• 23:12
  talking about. I'm talking about the politicians
• 23:13
  who act as if federal dollars are just sky pennies.
• 23:21
  He says population over the last six years has
• 23:23
  gone up 12 percent and inflation nationwide is
• 23:27
  26 percent. It's a little higher in areas of
• 23:30
  Idaho. Think property acquisition for a new highway
• 23:32
  or road in the Treasure Valley. It's insanely
• 23:35
  expensive. These two numbers would account for
• 23:37
  roughly 38 percent inflation of cost. Well, the
• 23:42
  general fund, Idaho taxpayer dollars, has only
• 23:44
  gone up 43 percent. That is the money we are
• 23:48
  paying the state and they are spending. So over
• 23:50
  the past six years, the budget has only increased
• 23:52
  roughly one percent per year per year over inflation
• 23:57
  and population growth adjusted. Yes. But this
• 24:00
  is also important to note is that the more states
• 24:04
  take federal dollars to do all of this crap the
• 24:09
  faster inflation increases because you are printing
• 24:13
  the money out of thin air it is it's a doom loop
• 24:16
  it is an infinity doom loop you cannot bitch
• 24:20
  about inflation which is strictly a monetary
• 24:23
  policy phenomenon the only way you get inflation
• 24:27
  the only way is by printing more fiat currency
• 24:32
  free market doesn't do inflation if like the
• 24:35
  free market does deflation prices come down always
• 24:39
  in a free market because of innovation technology
• 24:42
  pursuit of efficiency etc etc inflation is strictly
• 24:47
  a loss of purchasing power it doesn't necessarily
• 24:50
  even mean the definition isn't your money buys
• 24:52
  less or that things cost more in fact people
• 24:55
  think inflation means things cost more no it
• 24:58
  means your currency is worth less. It is devalued.
• 25:03
  You have less purchasing power. And that's only
• 25:05
  because of who's printing it. Yep. So again,
• 25:09
  these politicians talk about how the budget is
• 25:11
  actually only increased to one percent because,
• 25:13
  well, inflation blew everything up. It's like,
• 25:15
  that's your fault. Yes. That is your fault. Here
• 25:19
  is the last part of it, of Matt's message. The
• 25:23
  total budget fund has increased 48 percent, which
• 25:25
  is 10 .9 billion from 2019 to 16 .1 billion in
• 25:30
  2025. But this accounts for the increase of federal
• 25:34
  dollars coming into the state. So things like
• 25:37
  Medicaid that started around $400 million and
• 25:40
  are now at $900 million. That's a $500 million
• 25:43
  increase. False. Medicaid is at $1 .4 billion.
• 25:46
  That's not a correct number. So the first number
• 25:49
  at $400 million, that's what they projected Medicaid
• 25:52
  expansion would cost. The number is $1 .4 billion
• 25:55
  right now. That's why we're where we're at and
• 25:58
  trying to figure out how to cut things. And when
• 26:00
  the ballot initiative for Medicaid expansion
• 26:03
  happened about four or five years ago, those
• 26:05
  of us who opposed it said that was going to happen.
• 26:08
  It's a guarantee. Why? Because it's happened
• 26:11
  in every other single state, every one that has
• 26:14
  passed Medicaid expansion. And eventually the
• 26:17
  federal dollars wane. They don't ever fully run
• 26:20
  out, but they do decrease. The state has to pick
• 26:23
  up the tab. of a program that costs double, triple,
• 26:27
  or quadruple what it's projected to cost, but
• 26:30
  with less federal dollars covering it. And Idaho
• 26:32
  is getting to experience that in real time right
• 26:35
  now. I'm just taking it face value, even aside
• 26:40
  from the number 900 million versus 1 .4 billion,
• 26:43
  the accuracy of those numbers. Just even from
• 26:46
  a conceptual standpoint, let me read the rest
• 26:47
  of this message. That's a $500 million increase,
• 26:50
  he says, but that's all Fed money, not Idaho
• 26:54
  taxpayer money. Idaho's portion has increased
• 26:57
  from $40 million to $90 million. It's all Fed
• 27:02
  money, not Idaho taxpayer money. That's a distinction
• 27:06
  without a difference. It's all the same source.
• 27:10
  It's all us. It's all extracted from the populace.
• 27:14
  Idaho taxpayers are federal taxpayers. Am I missing
• 27:20
  something? Yeah, we feel the effects of the monetary
• 27:23
  policies, the fiscal policies. We feel the effects
• 27:26
  at the federal level, the state level, the county
• 27:28
  level, and the city level. We feel the effects
• 27:30
  of all of it. And we feel the effects compounded.
• 27:34
  And this isn't like we're reading off of what
• 27:36
  Matt Todd sent us. And he was responding to a
• 27:39
  lot of what we and I were saying. And so this
• 27:42
  is going to feel like it's directed exclusively
• 27:44
  at him. It's not. But this all is worth addressing.
• 27:48
  And again, who Matt Todd spends all day interviewing
• 27:51
  on his podcast, which is excellent, by the way,
• 27:54
  I've listened to a few of them. And actually
• 27:56
  credit to you, Matt Todd, for sitting there and
• 27:57
  listening to a lot of these ass hats say what
• 28:00
  they say, without interjecting every 30 seconds,
• 28:02
  because I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. This
• 28:06
  is what we were saying on the last episode, like
• 28:07
  he is a consummate host and it is a show that
• 28:09
  neither Paul or I could do for three consecutive
• 28:12
  minutes without our hair catching fire. Correct.
• 28:16
  True facts. That's why we'll stay in our lane
• 28:19
  and happily do what we do. And Matt Todd, God
• 28:22
  bless you for doing what you do. But what we're
• 28:26
  dealing with here is people, again, politicians
• 28:30
  and the people that Matt Todd interviews, who
• 28:32
  deal in these budgetary gimmicks. That's what
• 28:34
  this is. Budget is just gamesmanship. It's who
• 28:38
  can hide stuff where or call stuff what and make
• 28:42
  it sound palatable. I mean, talk to anybody who's
• 28:46
  played this game and they'll tell you this. It's
• 28:48
  a joke. So to your point, Scott, it is a difference
• 28:52
  without a distinction or a distinction without
• 28:54
  a difference. Excuse me. It truly is. They just
• 28:58
  play this game really, really, really well. And
• 29:00
  it's gross. And so the overarching point, if
• 29:05
  hopefully I'm not jumping the gun here, but I'm
• 29:06
  just going to jump the gun anyways. My overarching
• 29:08
  point, and I think Scott's too, and a lot of
• 29:11
  us who are in the more libertarian camp, we,
• 29:13
  we know about these details, like we know that
• 29:18
  there's this nitty gritty that Matt Todd has
• 29:20
  brought to our attention where, yeah, when you
• 29:22
  math it out like this and you look at the budget
• 29:24
  and the state budget versus the general fund
• 29:27
  versus the total budget and the fact that inflation
• 29:30
  did this and growth did this and it's like, yes,
• 29:33
  factually, nitty gritty, you're not wrong. Our
• 29:36
  point is, It's all messed up and it shouldn't
• 29:39
  be this way in the first place. That's the premise
• 29:41
  I'm operating from. So when I make the statements
• 29:44
  I make, when I say the things I do, I'm operating
• 29:46
  from a premise that is taking all of this already
• 29:51
  for granted. Like, I know this. Some of the numbers
• 29:54
  I'm not 100 % on. So thank you, Matt Todd, for
• 29:59
  bringing some of the specific numbers up. But
• 30:01
  I already know this is the bullshit that's going
• 30:03
  on and how they calculate it and how they justify
• 30:05
  what they do. So then when I say what I say,
• 30:08
  I'm already taking that in, and then I'm just
• 30:09
  going, it shouldn't be like this at all. And
• 30:12
  the fact that it is, it's disgusting. And so
• 30:14
  here's what we should do instead, or not do,
• 30:16
  or sometimes I don't have the solution, but I
• 30:19
  know what the problem is. The problem is government.
• 30:22
  The solution is less of it. And can't see, you
• 30:27
  know, really the benefits of government. the
• 30:31
  benefits of government. You just don't, you just,
• 30:34
  there you go again, Paul. You just don't get
• 30:36
  it, man. You just don't see the benefits of government.
• 30:39
  Just open your eyes, man. The snozberries taste
• 30:45
  like berries. Okay, let's, there's a, that sounded
• 30:50
  like one of Wintrow's laugh tells. Let's move
• 30:53
  along to, uh, as long as we're on, um, Idaho
• 30:56
  government and budgets. The Idaho Senate rejected
• 30:58
  the state's largest appropriations budget bill
• 31:01
  of the session Thursday. I knew that there was
• 31:04
  some that were against it on both sides, but
• 31:07
  I didn't think it would die. the death that it
• 31:09
  did." Senate Bill 1375, the $5 .7 billion Health
• 31:14
  and Human Services maintenance budget for fiscal
• 31:16
  year 2027 funds everything from foster care and
• 31:20
  Medicaid to psychiatric hospitals and mental
• 31:23
  health services, keeping critical programs running
• 31:26
  for thousands of Idahoans. This is the granddaddy
• 31:30
  of all of your appropriation bills that you will
• 31:32
  hear this year. But the bill didn't just fail.
• 31:35
  More than two -thirds of the Senate voted no.
• 31:38
  I don't think this is sustainable for our state
• 31:42
  at the rate we're going here with the health
• 31:44
  and welfare. Opponents like Senator Glenaida
• 31:47
  Zyderveld have concerns the state is too dependent
• 31:50
  on federal dollars and she's worried about long
• 31:52
  -term sustainability. We're seeing changes of
• 31:55
  percentages where the federal is starting to
• 31:58
  decrease the amount that they're paying on a
• 32:00
  lot of the different programs in the state. Senator
• 32:03
  Winthrop should take note because that is actually
• 32:06
  a common sense take. on life and reality. Like,
• 32:10
  hey, check out the numbers, the real numbers,
• 32:13
  not the budget gimmicks, but the real numbers.
• 32:16
  This is not sustainable. No, what's not sustainable
• 32:20
  is that an intern has to have a roommate while
• 32:24
  working at the Boise Capitol. That's what's not
• 32:26
  sustainable. Well, if you have a roommate, then
• 32:30
  it makes collecting all those aluminum cans easier
• 32:32
  because there's two of you instead of just one.
• 32:35
  Crushing those Miller High lives on a lot of
• 32:38
  the different programs in the state has to increase
• 32:40
  their percentage. Senator Melissa Wintrow worries
• 32:42
  the ongoing 5 % budget cuts for the two agencies
• 32:46
  will keep costing Idaho and services jobs and
• 32:49
  in some cases their lives, their lives after
• 32:52
  the assertive community program with personalized
• 32:55
  mental health services. OK, we gotta pause it
• 32:57
  again like. We already discussed the whole like
• 33:01
  people will die aspect. So I'm not even gonna
• 33:03
  validate that with a response is so retarded
• 33:05
  I mean literally huts are killing people literally
• 33:09
  literally. Yep, literally killing people You
• 33:13
  know what else is literally not true the government
• 33:16
  creates jobs That's not true everything the government
• 33:21
  does and has and spends either was con conjured
• 33:24
  out of thin air inflation or Was extracted from
• 33:30
  somebody else who was more productive and efficient
• 33:32
  and made and made the money So no you didn't
• 33:36
  create anything you simply took it and then put
• 33:40
  it towards something else that the free market
• 33:42
  deemed unworthy of Resources literally literally
• 33:47
  so no you're not creating jobs You're creating
• 33:51
  parasites But at best at best you are redistributing
• 33:56
  and I would say grossly mis -allocating resources
• 33:59
  that you stole from somebody else and putting
• 34:01
  it towards something they wouldn't do without
• 34:04
  the threat of violence. Personalized mental health
• 34:08
  services was cut by health and welfare and Medicaid
• 34:11
  contractor Magellan. The program was canceled
• 34:14
  December 1 and I got word today that four people
• 34:17
  now are associated with deaths of those teams
• 34:19
  being cut. But Senator Jim Guthrie called this
• 34:23
  a quote defining moment in the state's history
• 34:26
  and drew a sharp line between today and the last
• 34:29
  time Idaho faced cuts this deep towards the tail
• 34:32
  end of the Great Recession. Financial pain, in
• 34:35
  my opinion, is in large part self -inflicted.
• 34:38
  Guthrie, a 16 -year Idaho senator, pointed to
• 34:40
  last year's historic $450 million in tax cuts,
• 34:44
  passed before a realistic... Oh, of course. You
• 34:48
  thought he was going to... I should have maybe
• 34:49
  done the nasty ball. It's like a... No. Oh. I
• 34:53
  know it. I'm well aware of Guthrie. I knew it
• 34:56
  was going to be some bullshit similar to that,
• 34:58
  but I actually was going to say, but I didn't
• 35:00
  want to interrupt the clip, I was going to say,
• 35:02
  that's the... only common sense thing I've heard
• 35:04
  out of Guthrie's mouth in probably five years.
• 35:06
  And then of course he follows it up with a, and
• 35:09
  it's because we haven't taxed ourselves hard
• 35:11
  enough. This dude's a Republican by the way.
• 35:15
  Yeah. He calls himself a conservative Republican,
• 35:19
  whatever. Financial pain, in my opinion, is in
• 35:23
  large part self -inflicted. Guthrie, a 16 -year
• 35:26
  Idaho senator, pointed to last year's historic
• 35:29
  $450 million in tax cuts, passed before a realistic
• 35:33
  revenue number was set as the root of the crisis.
• 35:36
  We're not tightening our belts at all. We're
• 35:39
  not taking a pay cut. We're not compromising
• 35:42
  our benefits. We are tightening the belts of
• 35:46
  Idaho citizens and the feedback from my constituents.
• 35:50
  is that they are not happy about it. You know,
• 35:53
  this issue gets painted as a conservative liberal
• 35:55
  issue. It's really a human issue. Can you please
• 36:00
  provide some real time Paul translation? What
• 36:02
  the hell is this guy talking about? He is effectively
• 36:08
  making the case that we haven't taxed ourselves
• 36:11
  enough. We've put ourselves as a state in this
• 36:14
  position because of tax cuts from last year.
• 36:19
  But tightening the belts means apparently Taxing
• 36:24
  people more like he's saying we we I mean when
• 36:28
  he says we I'm guessing he means the legislators
• 36:30
  themselves That's me. I don't know. I guess himself
• 36:34
  his colleagues. We haven't tightened our belts.
• 36:37
  We're making everybody else tighten their belts
• 36:39
  Because we aren't taxing them enough to pay for
• 36:43
  this budget. It doesn't make any sense So somehow
• 36:46
  tax so so somehow budget cuts are tightening
• 36:49
  the belt But taxing people harder is not. I'm
• 36:54
  going to play one more time because my eyes are
• 36:58
  spinning around like pinwheels. We're not tightening
• 37:00
  our belts at all. I just want to go on record
• 37:02
  that when you take more money from people that
• 37:05
  means they have less money to spend. No, no,
• 37:08
  no, no. What you just said is so factual. No,
• 37:10
  no, no. That can't be right. That doesn't make
• 37:13
  any sense at all. If we take more tax dollars
• 37:16
  from people that loosens their belt or something.
• 37:19
  We're not tightening our belts at all. No. We're
• 37:22
  not taking a pay cut. No, you never do. We're
• 37:24
  not compromising our benefits. Why would you?
• 37:27
  We are tightening the belts of Idaho citizens
• 37:30
  by taking less of their tax dollars and the feedback
• 37:34
  from my constituents is that they are not happy
• 37:40
  about it. They're not. So in other words, his
• 37:42
  constituents are tugging on a shirt sleeve and
• 37:44
  saying, hey, Senator, could you please continue
• 37:46
  to tax me at the higher rate that you did last
• 37:48
  year? Or before the tax cuts? Is that what he's
• 37:51
  saying? Or his constituents fit into two boxes,
• 37:57
  welfare recipients and people who are affluent
• 38:01
  and white liberals who want to pay more taxes,
• 38:03
  because that's a thing. You mispronounced effluent.
• 38:07
  Yeah, the A and the E. The E is silent. OK, let's...
• 38:11
  It's, it's, it's a little confusing. Uh, I guess
• 38:14
  you spend enough time, 16 years, you spend enough
• 38:17
  time around the Capitol building and you start
• 38:19
  to get some sort of a brain parasite or, or maybe
• 38:22
  we're the weirdos that don't understand what
• 38:24
  he's saying, I guess. Oh yeah. Yeah. No, we're
• 38:27
  so again, as Winthrow would say, we're like,
• 38:30
  they're the people of common sense. You and I
• 38:32
  are the crazies. We're the crazies. Not these
• 38:35
  ass hats who have been in Congress for state
• 38:37
  Congress for almost two decades. Go home boomers.
• 38:41
  Just please, go home. Retire. Just go away. You
• 38:45
  people are a cancer. All of you. Anybody above
• 38:49
  the age of 55 who's still in politics and been
• 38:52
  there for more than a decade, you're a cancer.
• 38:53
  Go away. Please. You know, this issue gets painted
• 38:57
  as a conservative liberal issue. It's really
• 39:00
  a human issue. But as for me, I'm comfortable
• 39:06
  with how my no vote will define me. New and revised
• 39:09
  maintenance budget. So in other words, so now
• 39:11
  he's saying he voted no on 1375 on the HHS budget.
• 39:16
  Yeah, yeah, they voted it down because it included
• 39:19
  cuts that they didn't want. New and revised maintenance
• 39:24
  budget for Health and Human Services will hit
• 39:27
  the state's Joint Finance Appropriations Committee
• 39:29
  Monday. Of course, anything passed out of JFAC
• 39:31
  will need a Senate and House approval. So this
• 39:33
  process really starts all over again. All over.
• 39:38
  Was one of the more confusing soliloquies from
• 39:41
  one of these delightful leader, leader, leaders
• 39:44
  over there at the Capitol, like what, and he's
• 39:46
  a conservative Republican and that's what he's
• 39:51
  got to say into a microphone. He would call himself
• 39:55
  a conservative Republican, but he's nothing of
• 39:58
  the sort and his track record shows he's nothing
• 40:00
  of the sort. Also, that word salad that he just
• 40:03
  spit out, that is the norm. That's not a phenomenon.
• 40:06
  That's how they talk down there. So it's the
• 40:09
  same thing as with Matt Todd's texts. Again,
• 40:12
  I'm not trying to target Matt Todd himself. I
• 40:14
  know he's he's using the terminology that a lot
• 40:17
  of his interviewees use, but it's word salad.
• 40:22
  It's budget word salad. It's gimmicks. It's nonsense.
• 40:25
  I have to I have to assume like I don't know
• 40:27
  what to go back to, like, you know, assuming
• 40:30
  the case. OK, they're just reptiles. Like, you
• 40:32
  know, you unzip their skin suit and they're just
• 40:34
  you know, they're messing with us. Like, OK,
• 40:35
  I could accept that. Or because if that's not
• 40:38
  the case, then like there's just a lot of low
• 40:42
  intellect individuals in these positions. That
• 40:44
  guy that we just heard is an idiot. Like Melissa
• 40:47
  Wintrow is not a bright person. I hate to use
• 40:50
  that sort of language. It's very harsh. And what
• 40:52
  are you saying, Scott? Who the hell are you?
• 40:55
  I mean, like you're and you're right. Who the
• 40:56
  hell am I? Like to make these sorts of value
• 40:59
  judgments like. Well, for one, these people are
• 41:02
  supposed to be representing me to some degree.
• 41:05
  That's conceptually supposed to be the idea here.
• 41:09
  Melissa Wintrow, she never has considered the
• 41:13
  notion of other terminology to use besides pay
• 41:17
  your fair share. That's a stupid woman. She's
• 41:21
  a great person. She's an NPC. That's an NPC,
• 41:23
  exactly. Where is your brain, lady? Non -player
• 41:26
  character. What are you talking about? He uses
• 41:28
  the same 10 talking point like it's like a non
• 41:31
  -player character from an RPG role from a role
• 41:34
  -playing video game like Skyrim or or Fallout
• 41:36
  or any of them anybody who plays games at all
• 41:38
  and unlike and I'm not a much of a gamer but
• 41:40
  I've got some experience because I'm in that
• 41:42
  generation and NPCs have the same canned responses
• 41:47
  the same five or six canned responses No matter
• 41:50
  what you say, no matter what you do, it's the
• 41:52
  same five or six things. No concept of what's
• 41:54
  going on around them. They all look the same,
• 41:57
  act the same, behave the same. And every city
• 41:59
  you go to on the map in this video game, they
• 42:03
  are there. And then it's like voted in by NPCs.
• 42:10
  Matt Todd short circuited her very limited programming
• 42:14
  by pushing back a little bit. It's like you can
• 42:16
  tell she's never been around someone who pushed
• 42:19
  back. on that point. You could feel it. It was
• 42:23
  immediate. It was immediate and visceral. Like
• 42:25
  how, how dare you? You know, I kind of tell you
• 42:29
  something. I really dislike the pay your fair
• 42:33
  share articulation. That was, tell me how to
• 42:36
  better say that. What should I do? I don't know.
• 42:38
  I've never even thought about it. It's crazy.
• 42:41
  Angry. You educate me then you tell me how we
• 42:45
  do it. So condescending. God. And like, Way to
• 42:49
  way to be a jerk and man. I hope I hope he mansplained
• 42:52
  to the shit out of it to her. Well, see, OK,
• 42:54
  but see, this would have been a perfect. Again,
• 42:56
  far be it for me, dude, like I'm not going to
• 42:58
  I'm not telling the guy how to do a show by any
• 42:59
  means, but like, you know, why I wouldn't be
• 43:01
  able to do it. Like, but yeah, but here I go.
• 43:04
  A question like prompt the NPC, make them explain
• 43:08
  themselves. So the obvious question, like I said
• 43:11
  a moment ago, who is gatekeeping? What a fair
• 43:14
  share is lady. You know, like, I wouldn't add
• 43:17
  the lady in a condescending tone, necessarily,
• 43:19
  but like, prune to them, man. Explain thyself.
• 43:23
  Have you thought about it? No, no, actually keep
• 43:24
  her on her toes and be like, so explain this
• 43:26
  to me, ladies. Well, I don't know, the jury's
• 43:32
  out, man. Her hair is very, very short. Let's
• 43:37
  move on here. Real quick though. I do want to
• 43:39
  circle back to the question that you asked about
• 43:42
  the IQ aspect of these people. Most of them are
• 43:45
  not intelligent. They really just don't seem
• 43:47
  like bright people. Yeah. No, they're not. They're
• 43:50
  not. They're cunning and they're clever. Well,
• 43:52
  again, that's a systemic thing. Think of all
• 43:54
  the people we know who are in power. Just because
• 43:59
  they're in power doesn't mean they are intelligent
• 44:02
  or wealth or wealth thought out. or have a good
• 44:06
  handle on basic economics or philosophy or ideological
• 44:10
  things or have thought their positions out. Most
• 44:14
  of them are incapable of that. That's not what
• 44:15
  they do. They're where they are because they
• 44:18
  are cunning and they are clever. And they gravitate
• 44:22
  towards the mechanisms of power. And powerful
• 44:26
  people help put them there. Moneyed people, people
• 44:28
  who have an agenda. Think of it this way, Scott.
• 44:30
  If you were a person who had an agenda and wanted
• 44:34
  to accomplish things and you do your own benefit
• 44:37
  or your business's benefit or your interest or
• 44:39
  the interests of your union or whatever, would
• 44:41
  you want somebody in office who was an independent,
• 44:46
  thoughtful person? Or would you want somebody
• 44:49
  just smart enough to repeat the talking points
• 44:52
  you feed them while voting the way you want them
• 44:55
  to and just well spoken enough to repeat those
• 44:58
  talking points and then pull the lever? Like,
• 45:01
  what would you want? A or B? Well, I mean, clearly
• 45:05
  it's a rhetorical question, so B. Yeah, and so
• 45:08
  that's why almost, with a few exceptions, everybody
• 45:11
  in the legislative body, at the state level,
• 45:14
  at the federal level, are NPCs elected by NPCs
• 45:19
  and bankrolled by people who want NPCs as their
• 45:24
  representatives. I guess when you combine...
• 45:28
  You don't want smart, thoughtful people in power.
• 45:29
  No, you don't. And in fact, you know, when you.
• 45:31
  Well, they don't. I do. When you combine those
• 45:35
  two things like the cunning and the strategic
• 45:38
  and power hungry and all those things, and you
• 45:40
  combine that with high intellect, you get Robert
• 45:43
  Moses in New York and you get he's in power unchecked.
• 45:47
  for 50 years and single -handedly shapes all
• 45:52
  of the city of New York and downstream, many
• 45:54
  other of the contemporary urban infrastructure
• 45:57
  we think of when we think of American cities,
• 46:00
  flowed from one guy because he was both smart
• 46:03
  and cunning. So you're right. We really don't
• 46:06
  want that. Yeah. Well, he was also unprincipled
• 46:11
  in the way that you and I would consider being
• 46:12
  principled. He would be an opportunist. Yeah,
• 46:16
  well that would be I sort of think of that as
• 46:18
  that's an important caveat because I want I want
• 46:20
  thoughtful intelligent people as legislators
• 46:22
  who also Share my values and have principles.
• 46:26
  Well, yeah, I don't have this thing called government.
• 46:28
  That's what we should have as our representatives
• 46:30
  Yes, but we just were I we you changed from cunning
• 46:33
  to thoughtful and reasoned like yes, but that's
• 46:36
  that's why we're saying like well You don't want
• 46:38
  cunning and and and smart you want like thoughtful
• 46:41
  and reasonable and smart? But those people to
• 46:45
  gravitate to government, generally speaking.
• 46:48
  Yeah, but instead most of the people who are
• 46:50
  sitting in the legislative body in Idaho or everywhere
• 46:53
  else are like this. But why male models? Are
• 46:59
  you kidding? I just explained it all to you.
• 47:02
  Okay, you know what, you know what, MPC legislator,
• 47:04
  just vote yay on this one, okay? Just shut up
• 47:07
  and vote yay. What is this? It doesn't matter,
• 47:10
  just vote yay. Yep. Let's move on here before
• 47:15
  our midpoint breather to, I guess, sort of a
• 47:19
  fun way. Consider this a public service announcement
• 47:22
  from the No ID Show via the network affiliates
• 47:26
  to you. Panpoint says to look out for some new
• 47:28
  scams that are targeting both businesses and
• 47:31
  individuals. A local developer reported the most
• 47:34
  latest incident. They got an email claiming to
• 47:36
  be... Now, was that a teleprompter flub? The
• 47:38
  most latest incident? It should be the most recent
• 47:41
  incident or the latest incident, but it came
• 47:44
  out as the most latest incident. I'm going to
• 47:47
  blame the teleprompter as opposed to the news
• 47:49
  reader. What do you think? I think that I feel
• 47:52
  I have an even higher sense of urgency now because...
• 47:55
  Not only is it the latest, it's the most latest.
• 47:58
  Breaking! A local developer reported the most
• 48:01
  latest incident. They got an email claiming to
• 48:03
  be from Sandpoint officials. The scammer asked
• 48:06
  for them to pay fees related to a development
• 48:08
  application. Luckily, the developer did not fall
• 48:11
  for the scam, but it's a good reminder, the city
• 48:13
  will never request payment via wire transfer.
• 48:17
  No, they won't, but you know how they will request
• 48:19
  payment. Property tax bills, utility district
• 48:22
  bills, special assessment notices, federal and
• 48:24
  state deficiency notices, estimated tax payment
• 48:26
  reminders, audit adjustment notices, delinquency
• 48:28
  notices, fines from criminal or traffic cases,
• 48:31
  civil judgments, restitution orders, court fees
• 48:33
  and filing fees, parking tickets, code enforcement
• 48:35
  citations, environmental or regulatory fines,
• 48:38
  vehicle registration renewal notices, driver
• 48:40
  license renewal registration, blah blah blah
• 48:42
  blah blah. Site inspection fees, sewer fees,
• 48:44
  electrical fees. Impact fees, inspection fees.
• 48:47
  Oh, and by the way, Those are not requested.
• 48:51
  Never. Requested. Never are they requested. We
• 48:55
  are not the customer and those are not requests.
• 48:58
  Toll road invoices, red light, camera invoices,
• 49:01
  tax lien notices, treasury offset program notices,
• 49:04
  notices from contracted collection agencies acting
• 49:07
  for government. License plate sticker fees. Oh
• 49:10
  wait. Oh my God. Hold on. So you're telling me
• 49:15
  there's a chance. There's another one. There
• 49:20
  was a glut of these. The Idaho Transportation
• 49:23
  Department says a new wave of scam text messages
• 49:25
  is going around right now. The messages claim
• 49:28
  that you have to pay a traffic citation online,
• 49:30
  or a vehicle registration is overdue. That doesn't
• 49:33
  sound like something ITD would do. ITD says these
• 49:36
  are fraudulent, and they are not connected to
• 49:37
  any official DMV. If you get one of these messages,
• 49:40
  do not click any links, and do not give any personal
• 49:43
  information or payment information. Yeah, yeah,
• 49:45
  yeah, no. See, that's a scam. See, when you get
• 49:47
  like a, you know... Messages claim that you have
• 49:50
  to pay a traffic citation online or a vehicle
• 49:53
  registration is over Yeah, yeah, so if you get
• 49:56
  a site if you get a yes, you get you need to
• 49:58
  pay a vehicle registration or a traffic citation
• 50:00
  online Now that's a total scam, but when ITV
• 50:03
  sends you official notifications that say pay
• 50:06
  that's totally on the up and up. Oh You bastard
• 50:10
  you beat me to it. I'm just gonna say it. Yeah,
• 50:12
  no, no When, when the government does it, it's
• 50:15
  perfectly legitimate. When the not government
• 50:17
  does it, it's a scam and it's totally not okay.
• 50:20
  Stealing people's money is not okay. Except for
• 50:24
  when we do it, all those other times, there's
• 50:27
  a quote and I forget who it's by, but they list
• 50:29
  off all of the things like gambling, for example,
• 50:31
  gambling and fees for this and fees for that.
• 50:33
  And it says, so the, the, the state is not actually
• 50:36
  against any of these things. The state is against
• 50:40
  competition. Der. Yeah. It's just that the government
• 50:44
  doesn't like competition. There's another way
• 50:46
  of saying it too, that I've always liked. It's
• 50:47
  like, don't steal. The government hates competition.
• 50:51
  In fact, do you remember the, so speaking of,
• 50:53
  ah, this should be a great Scott shots. I, but
• 50:55
  it's, I can't set it up as a Scott shots, but
• 50:58
  if you recall the summer of love in Seattle during
• 51:01
  the 2020 madness. Ah, yes. The fiery, but mostly
• 51:04
  peaceful. Yeah. No, no, no. That was a, I think
• 51:06
  you're thinking of like in St. Louis, that was
• 51:08
  St. Louis, the summer of love. was, uh, was a
• 51:11
  little less fiery, but it was a little more hilarious.
• 51:14
  Yeah. And they set up the no -go zone. The chop,
• 51:17
  chop, Chaz or whatever it was called. Yeah. Yeah.
• 51:20
  Chaz. You got it. Chap, chop, Chaz, whatever.
• 51:22
  I think it changed three or four times. Wasn't
• 51:23
  it that they let the hippies kind of do their
• 51:25
  thing? Yeah. Yeah. Like the commies got a, like
• 51:26
  a four block radius. Yep. Yeah, they did. And
• 51:29
  it turns out the commies who always rant and
• 51:31
  rave about owning the means of production, the
• 51:34
  workers owning the means of production, it turns
• 51:35
  out none of them knew how to produce anything.
• 51:37
  They set up a community farm that failed within
• 51:39
  three weeks because nobody knew how to plant
• 51:42
  anything. They only know how to grow weed indoors.
• 51:45
  The list of stories from that, it's, it's incredible.
• 51:48
  We could break that down all day, but I won't.
• 51:50
  My main point was that for about a month or two,
• 51:53
  there was a couple of gangsters who took over
• 51:57
  parts of Chaz and set stuff up where you couldn't
• 52:00
  do certain things unless you paid these guys,
• 52:03
  these gangsters fees for effectively what were
• 52:07
  permits, permits to trade, permits to move about
• 52:10
  the Chaz zones freely, permits to do this out
• 52:13
  of the other. And it made headlines, national
• 52:16
  headlines. And all of these reporters and government
• 52:19
  agents were breathlessly talking about how how
• 52:22
  horrible these gangsters were for making people
• 52:24
  pay to do things that they should be able to
• 52:27
  do without having to pay for it and all of the
• 52:29
  things that the gangsters are making people pay
• 52:32
  for were things the government makes us pay for
• 52:35
  hello does any of this sound familiar i got well
• 52:40
  it's drown hog day again it's still just once
• 52:43
  a year isn't it well you know where you um You
• 52:48
  are not going to have fee, impact fees or permits
• 52:52
  to operate or anything else extracted from you
• 52:56
  forcibly. The No ID Show. Instead, it's all voluntary.
• 53:02
  Yep. There's no, like, you know, there's no pay
• 53:06
  walls. There's no, oh, you have to pay in order
• 53:08
  to get access to this or that. Nope. This is
• 53:10
  the value for value model that we run on, on
• 53:13
  No ID. We just put the show out there, gratis.
• 53:17
  and there's no barrier to entry, there's no nothing.
• 53:21
  It's just the show every Thursday. If you find
• 53:25
  the show valuable, we ask that you voluntarily
• 53:28
  contribute value back to the show. That's value
• 53:31
  for value, and it's the polar opposite of that
• 53:34
  which we have been discussing heretofore. Although
• 53:37
  I don't know, man, maybe we should get a couple
• 53:39
  of gangsters to do our dirty work for us. I'm
• 53:42
  telling you what, if I could vote to give myself
• 53:44
  a raise and then go out there and point a gun
• 53:47
  at people to extract the money, I still wouldn't
• 53:50
  do that because I have principles. But it sounds
• 53:53
  nice, doesn't it? Lots of people do it. The benefits
• 53:56
  of government. Hold on, I'm going to do it very
• 53:59
  carefully here. The benefits of no ID. The benefits
• 54:03
  of no ID. So if you see the benefits of no ID
• 54:07
  and you don't donate, you're literally killing
• 54:10
  people. Literally killing people. In fact, I
• 54:14
  think four people died just during this commercial
• 54:16
  break. Yes, exactly. It's really no commercials.
• 54:23
  That's the whole idea. So the value for value
• 54:25
  model means that we are free from, there's no
• 54:27
  brackish outside influence on this show. There's
• 54:30
  no ads, there's no sponsors, and there never
• 54:32
  will be. It's just value for value. So contributing
• 54:36
  back value to the show looks like this. Time,
• 54:39
  talent, or treasure. if you find our program
• 54:41
  valuable. And you know what, if you don't, why
• 54:43
  are you listening? If you're hearing what I'm
• 54:45
  saying. Orbid curiosity. Yeah, a hate listen.
• 54:48
  I'll take a hate listen. But you know what? There's
• 54:51
  value in that too, in a way. I think so. I mean,
• 54:55
  that's why every time we do this, I'd say, tell
• 54:57
  your friends, tell your enemies, tell everybody.
• 55:00
  I'll take a hate listen. You never know what
• 55:02
  you might learn or what we might learn. Maybe
• 55:05
  somebody who's hate listening sends us some insider
• 55:07
  information about... how messed up the budget
• 55:09
  is. That is an excellent point about value returned
• 55:14
  time talent treasure the time and talent portion
• 55:17
  It absolutely includes what Paul just mentioned
• 55:19
  which is telling people about the show word -of
• 55:21
  -mouth is just about the hugest non treasure
• 55:25
  Value add you could give so keep us in mind send
• 55:28
  people the link let people know about the show.
• 55:30
  That's how shows grow Any form of audio or visual
• 55:34
  or articles or boots -on -the -ground reports
• 55:37
  that you wish to contribute is all value returned
• 55:40
  All of this can be done at NoIDShow .com. There
• 55:43
  are buttons to click for treasure donations and
• 55:47
  there's a contact button for all sorts of other,
• 55:50
  all the time and talent portion. NoIDShow .com,
• 55:54
  the value for value model. Oh, you know what?
• 55:57
  Actually, I knew it. I knew there was one other
• 55:59
  thing I wanted to mention before we move on to
• 56:01
  second half of the show. It's been mentioned
• 56:04
  before by other proprietors of this model that
• 56:07
  people love a reason. to donate. They want to
• 56:11
  donate, but they just sort of need a reason,
• 56:13
  which is why, you know, the guys on No Agenda,
• 56:15
  for example, run all, you know, they do all sorts
• 56:17
  of promotions. Oh, you know, you become a knight,
• 56:19
  you can become a Commodore. There's, you know,
• 56:21
  wedding anniversary and it's 88888, you know,
• 56:24
  the stuff like that. So I figure, you know, this
• 56:26
  is episode number 20. So we're now, we're now,
• 56:31
  I don't know, that seems like an important number.
• 56:33
  You know, I think of a $20 bill. And you know,
• 56:36
  let's be honest about it. Twenty dollar bills
• 56:38
  are just about what five dollar bills used to
• 56:40
  be. So if you if you're sticking with us and
• 56:44
  you're here on episode number 20, kick us 20
• 56:47
  bucks. I don't know. Seems like a do for anybody.
• 56:51
  Yeah. If you donate twenty one dollars that we
• 56:56
  can read off for our twenty first episode next
• 56:59
  week, we will dub it the blackjack and you will
• 57:01
  be the blackjack. Perfect. I like that much better.
• 57:06
  So twenty one dollars. Yes. As our show becomes
• 57:08
  a legal drinking age and as I sip on my Guinness
• 57:11
  out of my pint glass here at the desk, that's
• 57:13
  perfect. Twenty one dollars so we can read them
• 57:16
  off on the next show. And you know, actually,
• 57:18
  I'll relate this quickly. You know, I have a
• 57:20
  signed snowboard that I that I won at the launch
• 57:26
  party for Adam Carolla's morning show after he
• 57:29
  left Love Line, which I worked on. for the Santa
• 57:31
  Barbara affiliate, which I've mentioned, that
• 57:33
  was like my first radio job. And when he left
• 57:35
  that show and took over Howard Stern's slot on
• 57:38
  the West Coast in 2006, when Stern went to satellite
• 57:41
  radio, I went to the launch party for his morning
• 57:44
  show. And it was at some, it was in LA and it
• 57:46
  was at some, I forget, some swanky sort of like
• 57:49
  restaurant, like a catered event. And they had
• 57:52
  a sort of little mini casino set up for entertainment.
• 57:55
  they had blackjack tables and they but it was
• 57:58
  it was just like they just gave you like some
• 57:59
  chips and you could win a bunch of prizes that
• 58:01
  were donated like it wasn't real money right
• 58:03
  and so I remember I was like that was the first
• 58:05
  thing I went and did especially 2006 like I was
• 58:08
  heavy into poker at that time and I was like
• 58:10
  oh a table game so I went and sat right down
• 58:13
  And literally like the emcee of the party got
• 58:16
  on the mic was like, Hey, welcome to the launch
• 58:17
  party. Well, like, and, and, you know, you know,
• 58:19
  the appetizers in the back, make sure to tip
• 58:21
  your weight staff. And then, uh, you know, for
• 58:23
  the table games, like you're getting this many
• 58:25
  in chips and, uh, the first, the first five people
• 58:28
  to be dealt a suited blackjack will win a, one
• 58:33
  of a array of prizes. And there was a whole,
• 58:35
  I don't know, maybe 20 different prices. Well,
• 58:37
  the coolest thing up there was like a snowboard
• 58:39
  that Adam had signed, and it had a bunch of like
• 58:42
  97 .1 FM signage. It was like a custom snowboard.
• 58:45
  And the very first hand off of that deck for
• 58:49
  me was Ace Jack of Spades, and I won that snowboard.
• 58:52
  Nice. You were destined for that snowboard. Have
• 58:55
  you ever used it? Do you snowboard? I do snowboard.
• 58:58
  I never did use it. It's just it's been like
• 59:00
  a wall mount thing. And yeah, I still have it.
• 59:02
  It's in my studio. Cool. So $21 would be awesome
• 59:07
  for the next show number 21 no ID show calm PayPal
• 59:10
  Venmo and all the other stuff and thank you very
• 59:13
  kindly in advance No ID show calm. No ID Okay,
• 59:22
  just poured myself another Guinness ice. Hey.
• 59:26
  Yeah. Yeah, that sounds amazing Sounds amazing.
• 59:29
  Oh, yeah, it is. I miss beer. God. I miss beer
• 59:33
  I just got an email actually that popped into
• 59:36
  my inbox from the Idaho Family Policy Center,
• 59:41
  updating me on a few things. One of those things
• 59:44
  being House Bill 752, criminal penalties for
• 59:52
  knowingly and willfully using the wrong restroom.
• 59:56
  So there's House Bill 607. Which creates it says
• 1:00:01
  creates a legal duty for all government buildings
• 1:00:03
  and places of public accommodation to maintain
• 1:00:05
  separate restrooms showers changing areas and
• 1:00:08
  changing areas for biological males and biological
• 1:00:10
  females This is the kind of stuff where I just
• 1:00:13
  think like I can't believe we have to make this
• 1:00:15
  a law Yeah, and then there's house bill 752 which
• 1:00:20
  complements house bill 607 and actually my representative
• 1:00:25
  Cornell razor from district one Up here introduced
• 1:00:29
  it and it creates criminal penalties for any
• 1:00:33
  person who knowingly and willfully enters a restroom
• 1:00:36
  designated for the other biological sex. So basically
• 1:00:39
  the first bill, 607, says anything that's government
• 1:00:42
  or public, boys gotta go where boys should go
• 1:00:45
  and girls gotta go where girls should go. And
• 1:00:47
  then this bill, House Bill 752, adds teeth to
• 1:00:50
  it, which I'm a little confused why you wouldn't
• 1:00:53
  add teeth to the first bill. Why have two separate
• 1:00:56
  bills? And then there's House Bill 602, which
• 1:01:00
  is a bill that prohibits Sharia law in American
• 1:01:04
  courts in Idaho, which also blows my mind that
• 1:01:08
  there even has to be a law about that. How is
• 1:01:10
  that even a thing? It's like you've already lost.
• 1:01:13
  What? Can you imagine if we were over in Saudi
• 1:01:16
  Arabia and they were having these similar debates,
• 1:01:19
  be like, yeah, and we need to pass a law to keep
• 1:01:22
  Christianity out of our court system. It'd be
• 1:01:25
  like oh, I thought you guys did that a thousand
• 1:01:27
  years. I was gonna say basically you're just
• 1:01:29
  admitting the Christianity is one it's on its
• 1:01:32
  way You're you're you're attempting to pour hot
• 1:01:34
  oil from it from the theater from the turret,
• 1:01:37
  but it's it's too late The the armies are at
• 1:01:39
  the gates What a time to be alive I have a I
• 1:01:43
  have a clip on the the the quote trans thing
• 1:01:46
  you want to hear it Please tell me they keep
• 1:01:48
  using the word trans ban. I love that trans bands
• 1:01:51
  the world got you down Try trans bands The Idaho
• 1:01:55
  House quickly passed a bill yesterday that would
• 1:01:58
  make it a crime for transgender people to use
• 1:02:01
  a restroom, locker room, or shower facility that
• 1:02:04
  does not match their sex at birth. The measure
• 1:02:08
  would apply to both government and private businesses.
• 1:02:12
  Anyone caught knowingly violating the bill would
• 1:02:14
  be charged with a misdemeanor for the first offense
• 1:02:16
  and a felony for a second incident within five
• 1:02:19
  years. Republican Representative Barbara Ehart
• 1:02:22
  says society never used to bat an eye at keeping
• 1:02:26
  bathrooms separated by sex. I do not understand
• 1:02:29
  why we seem to all of a sudden have a problem
• 1:02:31
  with discerning who is who and where we eat should
• 1:02:34
  be. Representative Clay Handy, one of the few
• 1:02:37
  Republicans to oppose the bill, says allowing
• 1:02:39
  transgender people to use the bathroom isn't
• 1:02:42
  a problem. I've seen people in every way shape
• 1:02:45
  or form all over the world. Okay, wait a minute.
• 1:02:47
  Nobody said trans people couldn't use a bathroom.
• 1:02:51
  That's not what they said. Not what we said.
• 1:02:53
  That's not what this is. Yeah, it's not what
• 1:02:55
  we said. But good job there, mainstream media.
• 1:02:58
  I do sort of feel for the, what was her name?
• 1:03:02
  Representative Barbara Ehart says, I sort of
• 1:03:04
  feel a little sympathy for poor Barbara Ehart.
• 1:03:08
  I'll take her at her word when she says like
• 1:03:10
  she's like exasperated and doesn't understand
• 1:03:13
  like what's going on. I do not understand why
• 1:03:15
  we seem to all of a sudden have a problem with
• 1:03:17
  discerning who is who and where we each should
• 1:03:20
  be. Yeah, she doesn't like read the little red
• 1:03:22
  book. Then you'll start to understand what's
• 1:03:24
  going on. Under people to use the bathroom isn't
• 1:03:27
  a problem. I've seen people in every way shape
• 1:03:29
  or form all over the world going to the bathroom.
• 1:03:32
  And to tell you the truth, I didn't want to know
• 1:03:34
  that about him. I've seen people all over the
• 1:03:38
  world going to the bathroom. I tell you, that
• 1:03:41
  explains a lot. I have looked through my fair
• 1:03:45
  share of two way mirrors. Let me tell you. And
• 1:03:47
  to tell you the truth, I don't know if there
• 1:03:49
  are many people who are sexually aroused by watching
• 1:03:51
  someone go to the bathroom. House lawmakers easily
• 1:03:54
  pass the measure for yourself. Oh man. There
• 1:04:01
  are dozens of us around the world. Yeah. Dozens
• 1:04:03
  of us. I've also never met a never nude. That
• 1:04:10
  doesn't mean we don't exist. Yes. I'm so glad
• 1:04:11
  you got that reference. I mean, I love that dude.
• 1:04:15
  You got to sound bite that this dude representative
• 1:04:18
  handy has just told us he has witnessed people
• 1:04:23
  around the world going to the bathroom. And it's
• 1:04:26
  totally cool. I've seen people. But he makes
• 1:04:30
  sure that we know it's not an arousing experience.
• 1:04:33
  I've seen people in every way, shape or form
• 1:04:35
  all over the world going to the bathroom. And
• 1:04:38
  to tell you the truth, I know it's ridiculous,
• 1:04:41
  ridiculous. Thank you, Representative Handy,
• 1:04:45
  for for for engaging in the science of this.
• 1:04:48
  So we didn't have to one more time. I've seen
• 1:04:51
  people in every way, shape or form all over the
• 1:04:53
  world going to the bathroom. There's only a few
• 1:05:01
  seconds left. And to tell you the truth, I don't
• 1:05:03
  know if there are many people who are sexually
• 1:05:05
  aroused by watching someone go to the bathroom.
• 1:05:07
  This man has never been on the internet. House
• 1:05:10
  lawmakers easily passed the measure, which now
• 1:05:12
  goes to the Senate for consideration. There you
• 1:05:14
  go. That's just the best. You got to soundbite
• 1:05:18
  that, Scott. The world needs that soundbite.
• 1:05:22
  Oh, good Lord. Yeah. Every time I think this
• 1:05:28
  simulation couldn't possibly get more ridiculous.
• 1:05:34
  Okay, real quick though, breaking this down.
• 1:05:36
  Number one, we caught what the mainstream media
• 1:05:39
  did there right away, where if you weren't paying
• 1:05:42
  attention, you would think that it was a trans
• 1:05:45
  ban on just using bathrooms in general. So that's
• 1:05:48
  a misdirection. It's not, no, you can't go to
• 1:05:51
  a bathroom. It's you just got to go where, well,
• 1:05:53
  you belong. But on the other side of breaking
• 1:05:57
  this down at the same time, I agree with Repp,
• 1:06:00
  with Earhart about the whole like, why do we,
• 1:06:03
  she kind of exasperatedly is like, the fact that
• 1:06:05
  we got to make this a law is kind of stupid,
• 1:06:07
  but we got to make it a law. And this is a common
• 1:06:09
  sense law. Well, yes, but also no, you lose me
• 1:06:14
  the moment you impose it on private business.
• 1:06:16
  And that's a problem. If I own any private business,
• 1:06:20
  especially in like hospitality, Well, that's
• 1:06:22
  my prerogative, and it is the prerogative of
• 1:06:24
  my patrons to patronize me or not, to be my customer
• 1:06:31
  or not, because especially in a place like Idaho,
• 1:06:33
  you're going to be well -known pretty quick,
• 1:06:35
  especially in North Idaho, as the place where
• 1:06:38
  anybody can, where Representative Handy is going
• 1:06:41
  to have a great time because anybody can use
• 1:06:43
  any bathroom and he can watch. Or a more traditional
• 1:06:47
  place where men go where men go and chicks go
• 1:06:49
  where chicks go. I've seen people in every way
• 1:06:53
  shape or form all over the world going to the
• 1:06:55
  bathroom That is never gonna knock it off that
• 1:06:59
  is an evergreen Okay, let's move along oh to
• 1:07:06
  the oh Man, this is um forgive me. Here's I have
• 1:07:10
  to subject you to more NPR, but they know they
• 1:07:14
  I know I'm so sorry, but they did some coverage
• 1:07:16
  on the sixth annual the relatively new tradition
• 1:07:20
  so we're told of Idaho Women's Day. People braved
• 1:07:24
  rain and strong winds this past weekend to gather
• 1:07:28
  at the state Capitol for Idaho Women's Day and
• 1:07:32
  Jackson Holmes was there. Saturday's event marked
• 1:07:37
  the sixth annual gathering since Idaho Women's
• 1:07:40
  Day was declared in 2020. It was decided by the
• 1:07:43
  legislature that March 14th would be Idaho Women's
• 1:07:47
  Day to celebrate Idaho contributions from now
• 1:07:52
  until perpetuity. So many of the young women
• 1:07:55
  you see here today, perpetuity means their grandchildren,
• 1:07:58
  their granddaughters may come to a similar celebration
• 1:08:01
  just like this. That's Marcia Bravo, a member.
• 1:08:05
  Is that what perpetuity means? I'm so glad she
• 1:08:09
  woman -splained it for me. With phenomenal elocution,
• 1:08:13
  listen to this lady. From now until perpetuity.
• 1:08:16
  So many of the young women you see here today,
• 1:08:19
  perpetuity means their grandchildren, their granddaughters
• 1:08:21
  may come to a similar celebration just like this.
• 1:08:25
  That's Marcia Bravo, a member of the Southwest
• 1:08:28
  of Idaho chapter of the National Organization
• 1:08:31
  of Women, the group behind the event. She says
• 1:08:34
  the goal of the event is to create a space for
• 1:08:37
  positivity and celebration. Gee, another very
• 1:08:41
  obviously missing adjective before the National
• 1:08:46
  Organization for Women. Do you remember how NPR
• 1:08:48
  sounds when they cover political organizations
• 1:08:51
  to the right of Mao? Conservative Christian Policy
• 1:08:54
  Group, the far -right activists. And when they
• 1:08:57
  cover now, what do they say? That's Marcia Bravo,
• 1:09:00
  a member of the Southwest Idaho chapter of the
• 1:09:03
  National Organization of Women. It's just a national
• 1:09:06
  organization for women, just for women. So brave.
• 1:09:13
  You notice they put it right before St. Patrick's
• 1:09:18
  Day, which I think is perfect. It's apropos.
• 1:09:21
  You give women their day on the 14th, and because
• 1:09:23
  they're going to take two or three days to continue
• 1:09:26
  to not shut up about it, you finally get to drink
• 1:09:28
  to forget on the 17th. Obviously, this is from
• 1:09:34
  NPR, but there was other news. crews there too.
• 1:09:39
  So I saw some visuals of what it actually looked
• 1:09:42
  like. There were not very many people down there
• 1:09:44
  at the Capitol. There's some news reports. I
• 1:09:46
  think I have a, here's KTBV saying it was like
• 1:09:49
  a thousand, I think. We'll finish the NPR report.
• 1:09:52
  It didn't look like that many, but there wasn't
• 1:09:54
  just women. There was a mix of women and men.
• 1:09:58
  What they had in common is of course that they're
• 1:10:02
  lefties. She says the goal of the event is to
• 1:10:05
  create a space for positivity and celebration.
• 1:10:08
  And Commies. This year's rally featured guest
• 1:10:10
  speakers from across the state. Muffy Davis is
• 1:10:13
  a Paralympic gold medalist and former Idaho state
• 1:10:17
  representative. What's missing from that description,
• 1:10:19
  Paul? Her political affiliation. And former Idaho
• 1:10:23
  state representative. Democrat state representative.
• 1:10:27
  Democrat. Do you think that there's a possibility
• 1:10:29
  they would have omitted Republican if that's
• 1:10:32
  what she were? Far right. conservative clu clux
• 1:10:36
  klan far -right activist our great seal of the
• 1:10:39
  state of idaho still in use today was designed
• 1:10:43
  in 1891 by emma edwards green and if you look
• 1:10:47
  closely you'll see something powerful a man and
• 1:10:52
  a woman standing side by side equal in stature
• 1:10:57
  wait are they advocating for traditional marriage
• 1:10:59
  right now Not only that, she's making the distinction
• 1:11:02
  between men and women. This woman is a far -right
• 1:11:04
  activist. This is crazy. I think they just played
• 1:11:08
  themselves. And if you'll notice over here, a
• 1:11:12
  traditional relationship of a biological male
• 1:11:14
  and a biological woman on our state flag. So
• 1:11:20
  brave. Equal in stature. That image was intentional.
• 1:11:32
  Davis says Idaho is the only state in the country
• 1:11:34
  where a woman designed seal is still in use.
• 1:11:39
  That makes us number, we're number one then.
• 1:11:41
  We're like the most feminist state, right? Don't
• 1:11:43
  we get points for that? And not only that, you
• 1:11:46
  know, the 19th Amendment was, what was it, 1920,
• 1:11:50
  1919? Idaho, women were voting in Idaho in, I
• 1:11:54
  looked it up, 1896, way before the 19th Amendment.
• 1:11:59
  We're hella progressive. A lot of Western states
• 1:12:02
  are that way though. Most Western states tended
• 1:12:05
  to be more, quote unquote, progressive. than
• 1:12:09
  the Eastern and Midwest states. Because when
• 1:12:12
  you're on the frontier and you're hacking a living
• 1:12:14
  out of the wilderness, there's a lot of issues
• 1:12:16
  that you just, you don't care about. Everybody
• 1:12:18
  has to pull their weight and everybody kind of,
• 1:12:21
  you know, a household is what matters. That's
• 1:12:23
  right. It's the household. You know what? We
• 1:12:25
  just, we just watched you warrior women trudge
• 1:12:28
  across the, the, you know, manifest destiny barefoot
• 1:12:32
  and eight months pregnant. while carrying another,
• 1:12:36
  you know, three other kids and walking alongside
• 1:12:39
  the wagon, the covered wagon, we feel like, yeah,
• 1:12:42
  you've probably earned the right to vote. Yeah,
• 1:12:46
  well, there's certain things you don't fight
• 1:12:47
  over when you're when survival is a lot tougher.
• 1:12:50
  You know, it's the same thing like there's a
• 1:12:52
  there's a misconception that the frontier folk
• 1:12:55
  were the most racist folks or they were the least
• 1:12:59
  tolerant folks. It's actually quite the opposite.
• 1:13:01
  It's quite the opposite. There was a lot of intermingling
• 1:13:04
  between Native Americans and frontier folks because
• 1:13:06
  it's just how it happened You were with them
• 1:13:07
  and everybody had a hard time scratching and
• 1:13:09
  living out of the wilderness So as much as you
• 1:13:11
  could you didn't kill you traded, you know, you
• 1:13:14
  intermarried. Yeah, you made life work You didn't
• 1:13:17
  care necessarily who was what color what you
• 1:13:21
  cared about was are we all gonna eat this month?
• 1:13:24
  Any any body worth their salt who's done any
• 1:13:27
  looking into the history of the frontier culture?
• 1:13:31
  We'll find that to be true. It also, it trends
• 1:13:34
  even just human culture in general and the phony
• 1:13:39
  notion of racism and other sorts of ism in general
• 1:13:43
  because even the most virulent and cartoonishly
• 1:13:47
  extreme forms of this stuff like, you know, the
• 1:13:51
  Holocaust or chattel slavery, like, oh yeah,
• 1:13:54
  well, but the Nazi guards were, you know, they
• 1:13:56
  were sleeping with some of the attractive women
• 1:13:58
  prisoners or, you know, the slave owners, he's
• 1:14:01
  breeding with like the, so how much do you really
• 1:14:03
  hate the blacks and the Jews? Is that a rhetorical
• 1:14:08
  question? Here's KTVB's coverage of the same
• 1:14:12
  women's day. I'm kidding. people gathered today
• 1:14:20
  at the Capitol for Idaho Women's Day. It was
• 1:14:23
  not a thousand people. It became an official
• 1:14:25
  day in 2020 that was enacted by the state to
• 1:14:28
  celebrate 100 years of women's right to vote.
• 1:14:33
  The National Organization for Women's Chapter
• 1:14:35
  here in Idaho put on the event as they're celebrating
• 1:14:38
  their 60th anniversary this year. Again, no political
• 1:14:41
  label and you know they're 60 years old. The
• 1:14:44
  you know the the most prominent or I think she
• 1:14:48
  was the most prominent co -founder of, now, is
• 1:14:51
  Betty Friedan. Have you ever read The Feminine
• 1:14:53
  Mystique? No. Have you? I have. She is commie.
• 1:15:01
  Why? Because you're gonna know thy enemy, dude.
• 1:15:04
  You know? It's the same reason I read the Little
• 1:15:05
  Red Book. I want to understand the commies, dude.
• 1:15:08
  I want to know the commies so that when they
• 1:15:11
  are in my vicinity, I see them, I smell them,
• 1:15:13
  I feel them. Idaho is one of the first states
• 1:15:16
  to grant a woman... Okay, Representative Handy.
• 1:15:19
  Hey, I've witnessed a lot of commies from behind
• 1:15:22
  a two -way mirror in my day. And let me tell
• 1:15:25
  you, when commies pee, it just looks like the
• 1:15:28
  rest of us. Idaho is one of the first states
• 1:15:30
  to grant a woman the right to vote well before
• 1:15:33
  the 19th Amendment passed. We're one of the first
• 1:15:36
  states to vote women into our legislature. Women
• 1:15:39
  have played strong roles throughout Idaho's history.
• 1:15:43
  We continue to and we will into the future. The
• 1:15:45
  organization says their mission is to support
• 1:15:48
  women, uplift women, and fight for women's rights.
• 1:15:52
  They hope people know that women play a significant
• 1:15:55
  role in Idaho's history and their mothers, sisters,
• 1:15:58
  daughters, and coworkers here in our community.
• 1:16:02
  I just want to be crystal clear. They're fighting
• 1:16:04
  for left -wing women's rights because women to
• 1:16:08
  the right of Mao do not agree with the political
• 1:16:11
  objectives of the National Organization for Women.
• 1:16:13
  So when they say they are representing women
• 1:16:15
  and the mainstream media shills on their behalf
• 1:16:17
  and omits all political labels, everybody is
• 1:16:20
  full of crap as usual. It's worth noting that
• 1:16:28
  right after we, on a national level, gave women
• 1:16:32
  the right to vote, the prohibition was the next
• 1:16:35
  amendment after that. You know what? I'm going
• 1:16:41
  to take a sip of my Guinness and really ponder
• 1:16:43
  what the implications of that statement. Here's
• 1:16:50
  a few more. Let's do a little lightning round
• 1:16:52
  here because I got a bunch more clips and stuff
• 1:16:54
  we didn't get to because we're so bloody long
• 1:16:56
  -winded. Oh, well, you know what we haven't gotten
• 1:16:57
  to? I can't believe I almost let this slip by.
• 1:17:00
  Here we go. We got to do this. And if this is
• 1:17:02
  the last thing we do today, it's fine because
• 1:17:03
  this is what we got to do. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
• 1:17:09
  back, baby. And I almost forgot. You really got
• 1:17:16
  to limber up this time, Scott. Jumping jacks.
• 1:17:19
  I'm doing burpees. Burpees. No, dude, it's been
• 1:17:22
  a few weeks. Really stretch it out. I don't want
• 1:17:24
  you to pull anything. I feel it in my core. Going
• 1:17:25
  to the doctor sucks. Drop down and do 10. Let's
• 1:17:30
  go. Let's go. Send it. It's time. It has been
• 1:17:38
  well past due time for Scott's shots. And the
• 1:17:42
  thing I've got for you today, Scott, is the little
• 1:17:45
  dated I apologize, because I had it queued up
• 1:17:47
  for the sixth. This popped into my inbox on March
• 1:17:52
  6th, and I was so excited to share it with you.
• 1:17:56
  The following recording, which was going to be
• 1:17:58
  March 10th. So we're a little behind the curve.
• 1:18:00
  But you know what? That's OK, because it's still
• 1:18:02
  great. And you're going to nail it. You're going
• 1:18:05
  to go seven for seven. You're six for six so
• 1:18:06
  far. You're going to go seven for seven. I know
• 1:18:08
  you are. I never said this would be hard. I just
• 1:18:10
  said it would be fun. Things I tell my wife.
• 1:18:16
  March 6th, 2026 marks a six -year anniversary
• 1:18:23
  of what? March 6 2020 That kind of sounds so
• 1:18:34
  that's early it's before two weeks to slow the
• 1:18:37
  spread because I think that conference was like
• 1:18:40
  March like 17 19 I want to say so March 6 2020
• 1:18:45
  is Maybe the oh no flights from China we're going
• 1:18:51
  to stop the inbound travel from China? That's
• 1:18:54
  what I'm going to go with. I'm going to give
• 1:18:57
  you a bell anyways, because you're close enough.
• 1:18:58
  All right. What is it? I can't believe I wasn't
• 1:19:00
  on the nose. Yeah. What was it? It actually is
• 1:19:03
  the official day of when the first COVID lockdowns
• 1:19:07
  were imposed. Oh, in San Francisco? And I consider,
• 1:19:10
  yeah, in New York. And I consider flight restrictions
• 1:19:13
  to be part of the lockdown. But March 6th, 2020
• 1:19:18
  is the first day. of the COVID lockdowns in several
• 1:19:22
  regions of the United States, mainly, primarily
• 1:19:24
  New York and California is where it started.
• 1:19:28
  And then not long after, I'll give you a followup,
• 1:19:31
  a part B, it gave rise to what absolutely ridiculous,
• 1:19:38
  I mean, beyond the pale ridiculous policy at
• 1:19:42
  the doctor's office. That was implemented right
• 1:19:48
  at this time or like just subsequently? Within
• 1:19:52
  about a week or two. What policy did it get?
• 1:19:58
  It's an open -ended one, so there's five or six
• 1:20:00
  or ten you could probably pick, so it's kind
• 1:20:02
  of not fair, but hey, it's a follow -up question.
• 1:20:04
  I do what I want. Yeah, yeah. Well, it was before
• 1:20:06
  masks, so I know it wasn't that. Masks were,
• 1:20:09
  like, actually weeks later. He's good. He's good.
• 1:20:13
  You're good on that. Oh, it's got to be surfaces,
• 1:20:17
  like disinfecting surfaces. Oh, you're so good.
• 1:20:21
  Oh, you, you did better at this one than the
• 1:20:23
  primary one. Well done. You get, you get a third
• 1:20:24
  bell for that. Okay. Is when the implementation
• 1:20:27
  of the clean pen dirty pen. Oh yeah. At the doctor's
• 1:20:32
  offices. Yep. Yep. Yep. That sounds right. Oh
• 1:20:39
  God. Which persisted long after. Yes. We figured
• 1:20:44
  out it didn't, that COVID had nothing to do with
• 1:20:48
  being transmitted. via surfaces. I mean, we figured
• 1:20:52
  that one out what three weeks in, but for the
• 1:20:55
  entirety of the COVID madness, years, clean pens,
• 1:20:59
  dirty pens at the doctor's office while we're
• 1:21:01
  wearing our masks. Yeah. I mean, the, the, even
• 1:21:07
  the thing is just like, even if you were, even
• 1:21:09
  if you were good times, even if you were convinced
• 1:21:12
  that that was like the right, like, Oh yes, it's
• 1:21:15
  effective. It's an effective thing to be doing
• 1:21:17
  because it does live on surfaces. The the notion
• 1:21:22
  that you think you can actually do things in
• 1:21:25
  a diligent enough fashion To be effective in
• 1:21:29
  the practice. Okay, the practice in theory works.
• 1:21:32
  So therefore we're gonna implement it you think
• 1:21:35
  You what is you have like a little vestibule
• 1:21:37
  like the vacuum sealed vestibule on the spaceship
• 1:21:40
  that like in between you and space Like give
• 1:21:42
  me a break dude. People are delusional. Okay,
• 1:21:45
  you know I'm looking at my my photo on my phone
• 1:21:48
  because my wife and I were in New York in that
• 1:21:52
  week of March of 2020 just coincidentally we
• 1:21:55
  were there for and one of my brother's artist
• 1:21:57
  was doing a show in Manhattan and so we had gone
• 1:22:01
  to see her show And there's, so I'm looking at
• 1:22:05
  my, I'm looking at March 9, 2020, and I'm standing
• 1:22:08
  in the high line. My wife and I are standing
• 1:22:10
  in the high line in lower Manhattan, looking
• 1:22:13
  out over the, over the Bay. So you're saying
• 1:22:17
  March 6, we flew out back to, back to California
• 1:22:20
  on like March, I think 10th or 11th. And so,
• 1:22:24
  but I don't, and we, in that few days there,
• 1:22:26
  March 7, 8, 9. Things were weird like there was
• 1:22:30
  a weird vibe everywhere like cuz it was like
• 1:22:33
  the weird something was imminent and everybody
• 1:22:35
  knew it But it was still the literal last days
• 1:22:38
  of normalcy. We went to restaurants. We did the
• 1:22:41
  normal thing. Nothing was closed yet No, and
• 1:22:46
  that's because even though the policies were
• 1:22:48
  now freshly on the books and being implemented
• 1:22:51
  in a couple of those spots namely the two spots
• 1:22:54
  you actually flew from and then returned to They
• 1:22:57
  weren't being enforced yet. You weren't seeing
• 1:23:00
  it happen. Enforce, E -N, space, force, because
• 1:23:05
  people were still trying to decide whether or
• 1:23:08
  not they were on board with it, if you'll recall.
• 1:23:10
  Remember, there was a week or two, even in those
• 1:23:13
  places, where people kind of went, huh, and then...
• 1:23:18
  And then our glorious leaders, leaders, leaders
• 1:23:21
  said, no, no, this is for real. And if you don't
• 1:23:23
  do it, we're gonna enforce it over the barrel
• 1:23:25
  of a gun. And then that's when most people went,
• 1:23:27
  oh, shit, okay, well, I don't wanna get in trouble
• 1:23:28
  and everybody else is doing it. All right, on
• 1:23:31
  comes the mask, out go the dirty pens, so on
• 1:23:34
  and so forth. And then the full culture shock
• 1:23:37
  of the branch Covidians is in full effect and
• 1:23:40
  visible everywhere we are. But that first week
• 1:23:42
  or two, if you recall, was very much, everybody
• 1:23:46
  was sort of feeling it out. Yes. And with the
• 1:23:51
  exception of a couple of pockets of people, most
• 1:23:53
  people didn't immediately strap on the mask and
• 1:23:57
  stand in the spot six feet from the other spot.
• 1:23:59
  Most people did not. They were waiting to see,
• 1:24:02
  A, if it was going to be enforced, and B, what
• 1:24:04
  everybody else was going to do. Yeah, yes. Even
• 1:24:07
  maybe more the latter than the former of those
• 1:24:09
  two things. I agree. Yeah, yeah. So in no particular
• 1:24:12
  order, but I had to letter them. Yes. One other
• 1:24:15
  thing too on the dirty pens, clean pens thing
• 1:24:17
  that I just have to throw in there is like, because
• 1:24:19
  it's one of, you know, just like everything else
• 1:24:20
  of this nature, it makes sense if you don't think
• 1:24:22
  about it, but you're talking about an industry
• 1:24:24
  that every single thing they use that involves
• 1:24:30
  any sort of penetration of your body or use along
• 1:24:34
  or in your body or anything that doesn't cost
• 1:24:38
  a thousand dollars to replace is disposable.
• 1:24:41
  Everything is disposable. So If this was really
• 1:24:45
  what they said it was, the pens would be disposable.
• 1:24:50
  It would come prepackaged like syringes do. They
• 1:24:53
  come prepackaged. You got to break the seal.
• 1:24:56
  You never reuse the syringe. You use it what
• 1:24:58
  it's for. You use it once and you throw it away,
• 1:25:00
  just like a bunch of other things in the medical
• 1:25:02
  industry. It's one use, single use, and then
• 1:25:04
  you throw it away. Individual packaging. You
• 1:25:06
  break the packaging. You use the pen. You toss
• 1:25:08
  it in a dirty pen bin. Yes, the special dirty
• 1:25:12
  pen bin with like the biohazard logo. Yep. Yep.
• 1:25:17
  We're like, here's a clean pen. Now it's dirty,
• 1:25:20
  but don't worry, we're going to wash it and get
• 1:25:21
  it back to you. Yeah, it's the equivalent of
• 1:25:25
  the old in public bathrooms in like the 1970s
• 1:25:30
  and 80s. You would sometimes see the paper towel
• 1:25:33
  dispenser, but it was a it was like a cloth on
• 1:25:37
  a roller that just went around and around and
• 1:25:39
  around. Yep, those still exist in certain like
• 1:25:43
  old bars. Yeah, there's still a few of them out
• 1:25:45
  there, mainly in like old bars or places like
• 1:25:48
  that where, you know, these mama pop shops where
• 1:25:50
  they just don't want to mess with, but they nowadays,
• 1:25:52
  they usually give you a stack of paper towels
• 1:25:54
  on the actual countertop. Yeah, the bottom third
• 1:25:57
  of which are just soaked. Yep. But hey, I appreciate
• 1:26:02
  the thought. But no, there's a few of them still
• 1:26:04
  out there, but I know what you're talking about.
• 1:26:05
  Those things are hilarious. So yeah, well, this
• 1:26:07
  will turn it a little bit to the side that hasn't
• 1:26:09
  been used in at least 20 minutes. And now it's
• 1:26:10
  clean. Makes about as much sense. If you point
• 1:26:14
  the pen this way, you can't get COVID. But if
• 1:26:16
  you point the pen that way, instant cancer COVID,
• 1:26:19
  you're dead. Quick lightning round here before
• 1:26:24
  we wrap up this 20th episode of your No ID Show.
• 1:26:29
  Here is what a the most recent native ad buy
• 1:26:33
  sounds like and this one Actually, there's a
• 1:26:36
  couple and they occurred across multiple networks.
• 1:26:39
  So this might have been a pretty expensive buy
• 1:26:41
  for birdies. Today was a holiday near and dear
• 1:26:45
  to the hearts of math and food lovers alike.
• 1:26:47
  March 14th is pie day because it's 314 and a
• 1:26:51
  local pie shop served up a sweet deal to celebrate
• 1:26:54
  customers lined up outside birdies pie shop.
• 1:26:57
  The shop offered their popular personal sweet
• 1:27:00
  pies for $3 .14 and they were ready for the influx
• 1:27:04
  of customers. They prepared more than 5000 personal
• 1:27:08
  pies just for today. That was 4 News Now's version
• 1:27:12
  of it. Here is Creme's version of it. By the
• 1:27:14
  way, one of my favorite days. Tomorrow is Pi
• 1:27:17
  Day because it is 314. You can celebrate the
• 1:27:20
  day with personal sweet pies for only $3 .14
• 1:27:24
  at Bernie's Pie Shop. By the way, they have 20
• 1:27:27
  different flavors as well as a variety of gluten
• 1:27:30
  -free options. It's a crash course in native
• 1:27:33
  ads. That's when advertisements that are paid
• 1:27:35
  for are made to sound like news reports. I just
• 1:27:40
  want to note that Idaho Women's Day and Pi Day
• 1:27:46
  intersect, which I find to be highly appropriate.
• 1:27:56
  Maybe that's how Birdies was able to make 5 ,000
• 1:27:58
  pies, is they utilized those 1 ,000 women who
• 1:28:00
  gathered for Women's Day, and they're like, oh
• 1:28:02
  good, you're all here. Each of you made five
• 1:28:04
  pies. Now we're ready. Here is another native
• 1:28:09
  ad buy across multiple networks. And this one
• 1:28:12
  is by, I'd never heard of it before, but apparently
• 1:28:14
  they're all the rage, Raising Canes. Coeur d
• 1:28:17
  'Alene welcomes its first Raising Canes. The
• 1:28:19
  new restaurant is at the intersection of Highway
• 1:28:21
  95 and Nider Avenue. Specific, by the way, the
• 1:28:24
  telltale markers of this sort of stuff, specificity.
• 1:28:27
  Oh, it's three dollars and fourteen cents and
• 1:28:30
  it's available on this day. Oh, here is the location.
• 1:28:33
  It's at the intersection of Maine and Maine.
• 1:28:36
  When they when they're giving you specific bullet
• 1:28:39
  points like that, those are bullet points that
• 1:28:41
  were given to the news readers by the ad department.
• 1:28:44
  Alexander Coneyards is live there this morning.
• 1:28:48
  Doors open at 9, but those folks have been lined
• 1:28:51
  up for hours already. Yeah, even more than hours.
• 1:28:55
  Some folks have been lined up since yesterday.
• 1:28:57
  This morning I've got Daisy Mateo with me now.
• 1:29:01
  You know what raising chains is. I, well, I had
• 1:29:04
  never heard of it, but I looked it up. It's like
• 1:29:06
  a chicken, chicken fingers. Yeah. Right. It's
• 1:29:08
  just a chicken joint. Just like, yeah, just like
• 1:29:10
  Popeyes is just like, you know, a couple of the
• 1:29:13
  other places are. I mean, it's good. It's I mean,
• 1:29:18
  fried chicken is great. Fried chicken is great.
• 1:29:19
  And there's a waiting in line for almost a whole
• 1:29:25
  day. Fried chicken. Oh, it gets better. I didn't
• 1:29:28
  think we had that kind of demographic here wait
• 1:29:30
  until you hear the two gals that the the news
• 1:29:34
  that the the field reporter interviewed and the
• 1:29:36
  reason they do it and can we do an ask Paul Sure,
• 1:29:42
  here comes the question big or small make your
• 1:29:44
  guess before we call the game begins. It's asked
• 1:29:48
  Paul brought to you by Pfizer. What reason do
• 1:29:51
  you think they're going to give for why they
• 1:29:53
  got in line? They're black So in other words,
• 1:29:59
  she's like, Hey, what do you guys do in here?
• 1:30:00
  And they're going to be like, we're black. That's
• 1:30:07
  the reason they quite like that. Oh man. Is that
• 1:30:10
  your final answer? Like half of my final answer.
• 1:30:15
  No, they're probably from, um, they're probably
• 1:30:16
  from somewhere else and they're excited to have
• 1:30:18
  a, and they were somewhere else that had a raising
• 1:30:20
  canes and they're probably stoked that now there's
• 1:30:22
  one where they live now. It's, it's so much dumber.
• 1:30:25
  It's so much dumber. Oh, it's even dumber than
• 1:30:28
  being black or from out of town. They are white,
• 1:30:30
  just so you know, these are white girls. I know,
• 1:30:32
  I know, but, you know. Oh, yes. Oh, and then
• 1:30:35
  now, hey, in Hayden, there's a new, well, Watermelons
• 1:30:38
  Are Us, and all the lines there is full of blacks
• 1:30:40
  too, according to Paul. Yeah, but that one's
• 1:30:42
  a trap because it's in Hayden. So like, that's
• 1:30:44
  a trap, avoid that one. Okay, I don't know if
• 1:30:49
  you're gonna guess it's so dumb that it might
• 1:30:51
  not be guessable But you're gonna kick yourself.
• 1:30:53
  You guys have been here since 4 p .m Okay. Wow.
• 1:30:56
  Tell me a little bit more about just what made
• 1:30:58
  you guys decide to come out here so early We
• 1:31:00
  literally just saw some guy already sitting here
• 1:31:02
  at noon. I guess he was here since noon So when
• 1:31:05
  we drove by we just went home and got all our
• 1:31:07
  stuff in here as quick as we could They saw someone
• 1:31:09
  else in line What? We just saw No They saw someone
• 1:31:17
  in line and they were like, this must be good.
• 1:31:21
  Scott, I'd like to refer you back to the 19th
• 1:31:24
  amendment and how some parts of our constitution
• 1:31:31
  just aren't, they're just not right. They're
• 1:31:35
  just not right. It's so good. Oh my God. These
• 1:31:38
  people vote. They live amongst us. They drive,
• 1:31:40
  they vote. This actually is why COVID happened.
• 1:31:45
  Exactly. Well, I just saw somebody wearing a
• 1:31:47
  mask and I thought, huh, I guess I'll put mine
• 1:31:49
  on too. Sure, who needs a face? No, I never ever
• 1:31:53
  ever would have guessed that. Who has the kind
• 1:31:57
  of life where you can just stop what you're doing
• 1:31:59
  and join a queue just because someone's in the
• 1:32:02
  queue? I've never heard of that. I don't even
• 1:32:04
  know what it is, but I - That's incredible. People
• 1:32:06
  are waiting for it. It must be good. I gotta
• 1:32:07
  find a sound bite. Okay, hold on. I gotta have
• 1:32:10
  something for this. What was that? I can keep
• 1:32:15
  you on, Mike. Oh, it's Patrick Starr. Oh, I don't
• 1:32:18
  get it. I don't get it. He doesn't get it. Or
• 1:32:21
  maybe this one. We just saw a line and we thought
• 1:32:28
  we'd join it. It's about it. I remember seeing
• 1:32:34
  once a like a hidden camera, I think TV show.
• 1:32:36
  I don't even remember what it was exactly, but
• 1:32:38
  they had set up a camera in like a shopping.
• 1:32:40
  Center parking lot and was aimed at the entrance
• 1:32:43
  to a grocery store and they had set up a folding
• 1:32:45
  like a card table kind of like a Girl Scout cookie
• 1:32:48
  table right at the entrance of the you know the
• 1:32:50
  automatic double doors and They had gathered
• 1:32:52
  a bunch of rocks from the parking lots planter
• 1:32:55
  beds like you know Just you not not pebbles But
• 1:32:59
  just like like a ground cover and they had put
• 1:33:01
  the rocks in a basket on the card on the folding
• 1:33:05
  table And they had a sign on there that said
• 1:33:07
  free take one and then they set up a hidden camera
• 1:33:10
  and there was there was people going in and out
• 1:33:12
  of the the grocery store and you saw people like
• 1:33:15
  stop and look at the rock they pick up the rock
• 1:33:18
  they examine it like someone like smells it like
• 1:33:22
  and then they sort of like look around and then
• 1:33:25
  into the purse it goes and they walk away Here's
• 1:33:35
  one more. That's it. This podcast is over. We
• 1:33:38
  have to end it with that. Here's one more. It
• 1:33:41
  can't be talked. I got to do one more of the
• 1:33:43
  raising canes. Here's another network how they
• 1:33:46
  covered it. Again, this is an ad buy. and fingers
• 1:33:48
  are officially on the way to North Idaho. Coeur
• 1:33:51
  d 'Alene's Raising Cane's opens this morning
• 1:33:52
  at 9 a .m. so in about two hours now. It's at
• 1:33:55
  the corner of US Highway 95 and 90. This is a
• 1:33:59
  live look at what's going on there. In the past
• 1:34:01
  few hours it has turned from a line around the
• 1:34:04
  corner to an actual party where people are having
• 1:34:07
  free coffee, hanging out, just waiting for them
• 1:34:10
  to open up. Just so we are kind of all on the
• 1:34:13
  same page with traffic, this is a busy spot.
• 1:34:15
  Both the Idaho Transportation Department and
• 1:34:17
  Coeur d 'Alene police will be out to help direct
• 1:34:19
  traffic. If it gets busy enough, they will make
• 1:34:22
  it so people can only turn right out of the Raising
• 1:34:24
  Cane's parking lot. It's like a bazoolander that
• 1:34:27
  you cannot turn left. But this morning, we have
• 1:34:29
  our photographer out there live and he actually
• 1:34:31
  spoke with the person who was first in line for
• 1:34:34
  this new Raising Cane. Get ready, get ready for
• 1:34:36
  an intellectual powerhouse coming up. Scott,
• 1:34:40
  please tell me that his reasoning for it was
• 1:34:42
  like, well, I saw that no one else was in line,
• 1:34:45
  so I got in line. I'm also running for 19th Congressional
• 1:34:50
  District for Melissa Wintrow seat, vote for me.
• 1:34:53
  I actually live right in these apartments a block
• 1:34:56
  away from here. Loved raising kids my whole life.
• 1:35:01
  I've been to the one in Vegas, loved it ever
• 1:35:03
  since. Found out that we were doing one here
• 1:35:05
  and I was like... You know, got to be out here
• 1:35:08
  first again. And then heard that they gave the
• 1:35:10
  gift basket was only for the first person. So
• 1:35:13
  I got here at noon yesterday, which all my friends
• 1:35:15
  thought that I was crazy, but it pays off. Yeah.
• 1:35:18
  Noon yesterday with a gift basket. Sorry, sir.
• 1:35:21
  But I think I agree with your friends. That's
• 1:35:23
  kind of crazy. Hey, looks like it works though.
• 1:35:26
  He won. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. There
• 1:35:29
  you go. That's what native ads sound like on
• 1:35:32
  North Idaho Network Affiliate TV. What an illustrative
• 1:35:39
  narrative on the state of human beings. And yes,
• 1:35:43
  and... Do these people not have jobs? Yes, the
• 1:35:45
  state of human beings and the mainstream media,
• 1:35:48
  what covers them? Also, I have to note that it's
• 1:35:52
  probably the only time ever we'll hear the mainstream
• 1:35:54
  media excitedly say, you can only go right. We'll
• 1:36:02
  be right back after these messages from now,
• 1:36:05
  the National Organization for Girls. And Pi Day.
• 1:36:12
  And in unrelated news, Pi Day. In unrelated news.
• 1:36:18
  Oh, man. Well, I don't know if that 20 and 19th
• 1:36:21
  Amendment, Scott, 19th Amendment and 20th Amendment.
• 1:36:24
  Just going to keep throwing that out there. Evergreen
• 1:36:26
  topics. I'm I'm all about the 21st Amendment
• 1:36:29
  currently because I've got my third empty glass
• 1:36:31
  of Guinness in front of me. And to be honest
• 1:36:34
  about it, I really can't tell if this show was
• 1:36:37
  garbage or not. It started getting real wonked
• 1:36:39
  out toward the end here. I think three wasn't
• 1:36:43
  enough. This was a six pack kind of podcast.
• 1:36:47
  I have to because Paul sounds alone. Paul can't
• 1:36:49
  drink beer right now. So I got a drink for the
• 1:36:51
  both of us. I'll catch up someday. Well, it's
• 1:36:57
  not sad times over at no ID show .com. Please
• 1:36:59
  remember us there value for value $21 would be
• 1:37:03
  a phenomenal donation to kick our way because
• 1:37:07
  the episode Yep, blackjack is coming up. The
• 1:37:13
  next episode. So, we hope that we see you then.

• 1:37:23
