  No ID is meant for a sane audience. No ID may
• 0:08
  contain Liberty -oriented content. PINCO discretion
• 0:12
  is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci
• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Alright, I guess we should
• 0:25
  just play the outro straight away. It's No ID.
• 0:28
  It's Idaho's... Mainstream media deconstruction.
• 0:31
  I'm Scott. Hello internet. I'm Paul. Yeah The
• 0:34
  25 % of the show has already been done. Yeah,
• 0:36
  we finished it. Yeah pre -show We're in the same
• 0:39
  room and that means French breast coffee fresh
• 0:42
  coffee And it means that we it really feels like
• 0:46
  more than a third of the show. Honestly, if you
• 0:47
  count some of the more casual conversation We're
• 0:51
  maybe already done. We were discussing having
• 0:53
  a an add -on show that I had aptly named What
• 0:57
  on earth? where we discussed some national and
• 0:59
  some global topics. So we were talking about
• 1:01
  that. And unfortunately the working title has
• 1:03
  to change because we looked it up and there's
• 1:04
  already a podcast called what on earth. I was
• 1:06
  proud of myself though. I thought it was a cool
• 1:07
  name. Turns out it wasn't that original, but
• 1:10
  so we're thinking we should do a little show
• 1:12
  for that. And then we were talking to Lynn about
• 1:13
  how we also have, should have a post game show,
• 1:16
  but we already did our pregame show, which turns
• 1:20
  out was about a third of the show we're going
• 1:22
  to give you now. that we just did without the
• 1:24
  mics. You know what? Let's let's just start with
• 1:26
  what we were talking about. We're just going
• 1:27
  to jump right in. We were talking about snow
• 1:29
  plows and as it pertains to post falls. This
• 1:32
  is going to submit something real fast where
• 1:34
  we start the recording that from now on, the
• 1:36
  moment you and I sit down in the room together,
• 1:37
  we just turn on the mics, put on the headphones,
• 1:40
  turn on the mics and start the show. I can't
• 1:42
  do I need an intro. Call it Paul's pregame. I
• 1:45
  need an intro. See unless I get something like
• 1:48
  this to start no, I feel like a show Pavlov's
• 1:52
  dog situation here. Okay. Well, I don't know.
• 1:54
  We'll figure that out This is we have not used
• 1:58
  Hagadon news network in quite some time, I think
• 2:01
  since maybe last year for the candidate interviews.
• 2:04
  But I pulled a couple of clips because they were
• 2:06
  the only source that covered some of these stories.
• 2:08
  Here's audio from Hagedone News Network about
• 2:10
  Shoshone County and snow plowing, even though
• 2:12
  it doesn't snow in North Idaho anymore. County
• 2:14
  officials in Wallace say a staffing shortage
• 2:17
  could lead to reduced snowplow routes this winter.
• 2:20
  The local roads department is budgeted for 15
• 2:23
  full time employees during non winter months.
• 2:26
  Why in the world? I know Paul's playing air Spanish
• 2:28
  flamenco. I have no idea why this particular
• 2:31
  guitar music is the bed, but that's what they
• 2:33
  chose. Charming but somber. But currently has
• 2:37
  nine. Road supervisor Wayne Corona and shop supervisor
• 2:41
  Larry Hammer told commissioners some routes may
• 2:44
  need to be deprioritized if more workers are
• 2:47
  not hired. Officials say school bus routes and
• 2:50
  main roads would remain the highest priorities
• 2:53
  full story at Hagadon News Network. So I looked
• 2:57
  up there was a an older article from somewhere
• 3:01
  like in the in April or so where they were trying
• 3:03
  to hire for these positions at 56k a year starting
• 3:06
  salary and they claim and they claimed they said
• 3:09
  that they got no applicants at that number in
• 3:12
  Shoshone. So something is weird and wrong with
• 3:15
  this picture. Those are seasonal jobs, right?
• 3:19
  Cause that's the question. If it's, if it's 56
• 3:22
  K and it's an annual, like a year round job,
• 3:25
  like a normal job, then I could see maybe why
• 3:28
  they might struggle to attract qualified applicants.
• 3:30
  I mean, that's not super low, but it's not super
• 3:34
  hot. It's not competitive, but snow plowing is
• 3:37
  seasonal. So that's my question. Is this, you
• 3:40
  know, six months out of the year, four months
• 3:42
  out of the year, year round, where they drive
• 3:45
  snow plows during the winter. And then, you know,
• 3:47
  they do. County roads works the rest of the year
• 3:51
  Yeah, she is the Ted the the headline back then
• 3:55
  with Shoshone County hikes public works pay offered
• 3:58
  salary of 52 K generates zero applications So
• 4:02
  and there was that there was also a report that
• 4:04
  the county was struggling to fill its public
• 4:05
  works director position with no applications
• 4:08
  at 51 K after two months So there's been this
• 4:11
  is a chronic problem in Shoshone. So it sounds
• 4:15
  like they are full -time gigs. Sounds like it.
• 4:18
  Yeah. I mean, I don't know, unless it's like
• 4:20
  50, it's government work. Maybe it's for like
• 4:22
  a weekend. I don't know. It's 30, 36 hours a
• 4:25
  week plus all the federal and state and local
• 4:27
  holidays and everything else. Yeah. So then that
• 4:30
  got me to, um, uh, to, uh, mayor Randy Westland's
• 4:35
  tweet that I was reading. This is where we did
• 4:38
  a half the show before we started the show. See
• 4:40
  the problem here and why they could only offer
• 4:42
  52 K. for the snowplow drivers is because they
• 4:45
  needed the other 52k that would have also gone
• 4:48
  to the same snowplow driver to afford the snow
• 4:50
  gates for the plow. Oh my God. Okay. See Post
• 4:52
  Falls doesn't have that problem. They're going
• 4:55
  to pay for those snow gates and let, well, they're
• 4:58
  not if Post Falls residents don't pony up more
• 5:01
  money. This is a tweet from Mayor Randy Westland
• 5:05
  from yesterday, 14 September. It's not Twitter
• 5:08
  anymore, sir. It's X. And he's responding to
• 5:14
  somebody who's bringing up city budget and the
• 5:16
  astronomical numbers, $165 million, 2026, and
• 5:21
  how Mayor Westland, to his credit, has been publicly
• 5:25
  discussing cuts. And we're going to, you know,
• 5:27
  trim this back and look to eliminate this. And
• 5:29
  yeah, we're going to we have to raise property.
• 5:31
  No, it's a multifaceted problem. We have to raise
• 5:34
  property taxes and we have to look for all these
• 5:36
  new sources of revenue possible. And we also
• 5:38
  have to cut all these things because we have
• 5:40
  this enormous shortfall. So you need both more
• 5:42
  revenue, more cutting. But in the tweet from
• 5:44
  yesterday or whatever the ex post, whatever they
• 5:46
  call it from yesterday, he said. He's defending
• 5:50
  somebody who was bringing up all these huge numbers
• 5:52
  and some cut he brought up. That's some very
• 5:54
  tiny percentage. Well, I'm sorry, says the mayor,
• 5:56
  but you know, you don't reform a city government
• 5:58
  by magically finding millions of dollars overnight
• 6:00
  and then calling it a day. And he's going on
• 6:02
  part of this tweet is quote. We may get rid of
• 6:05
  snow gates next. Those are the attachments that
• 6:08
  prevent the plows from leaving a berm of snow
• 6:10
  blocking your driveway. Losing those would be
• 6:13
  painful for everyone, but unless the residents
• 6:15
  want to keep increasing taxes, the money just
• 6:18
  isn't there. I just thought that was the strangest
• 6:20
  thing to bring up as a specific. The gates on
• 6:24
  the snow plow? We're going to pull the pins and
• 6:27
  get rid of them or or not replace the worn out
• 6:29
  ones unless you pay more taxes. There's going
• 6:32
  to be a berm on your driveway. It's it sounds
• 6:35
  like a threat. There's a lot to unpack here.
• 6:37
  Let's start with the original post. The original
• 6:40
  post. Is a is a guy who dug in. He's basically
• 6:44
  the post was went down the rabbit hole for the
• 6:46
  city of Post Falls, City of Post Falls, according
• 6:49
  to this guy's post, has a budget of one hundred
• 6:51
  and sixty five million dollars. and the city
• 6:54
  of post falls has roughly 50 ,000 residents.
• 6:56
  So that's 33, we did the math, $3 ,300 for every
• 7:00
  man, woman, and child in post falls, which seems
• 7:03
  like a lot. The city of post falls, $165 million
• 7:07
  budget, Scott. Does it just mirror? Does that
• 7:09
  seem like a lot? Like a lot. It seems like a
• 7:12
  fortune for a pretty small city. Yeah. So then
• 7:15
  over the last few weeks as Randy Mayer, Westland,
• 7:17
  like you said, to his credit has tried to be,
• 7:19
  I think as open about this process as a mayor,
• 7:23
  is probably allowed to be at least thus far has
• 7:26
  identified a few spots where they might make
• 7:28
  some cuts, but most of the cuts amount to like
• 7:30
  20 grand here or, you know, 15 grand here. So
• 7:32
  the guy in the original post said, okay, budget
• 7:35
  of 165 million minus 20 ,000, 20 ,000 is basically
• 7:40
  like 0 .00002 % of the budget or something like
• 7:44
  that. And so the original post is kind of criticizing
• 7:47
  this whole, what looks to, it looks, it feels
• 7:50
  a little bit like, you know, smoke show a little
• 7:53
  bit of a song and dance here was like, okay,
• 7:55
  cool. So you're going to cut 0 .00002 % of the
• 7:58
  budget. Great. Good for you against 165 million.
• 8:02
  So then that's when Randy Mayer gets on and responds
• 8:05
  to this post on X and says, well, you know, it's
• 8:10
  harder than it sounds to identify. You can't
• 8:12
  just overnight find big cuts. Which I think to
• 8:15
  a degree, he's probably not wrong because as
• 8:17
  we, what we know about the system is the system
• 8:19
  is well entrenched. It is hard to cut these things
• 8:24
  once they're established. It's that's the point.
• 8:26
  It's by design. So he's not necessarily wrong
• 8:28
  there, but the way he goes about kind of coming
• 8:32
  off his butt hurt about it. And then essentially
• 8:35
  threatening this residence of post falls with,
• 8:38
  well, Hey, if you don't pay up more, we're going
• 8:40
  to take something that's actually useful to you.
• 8:43
  That's what he's saying. And so we're sitting
• 8:46
  here going, your budget is $165 million. I bet
• 8:51
  we can find some things that a lot of people
• 8:53
  here don't want that you could cut. But the thing
• 8:57
  you threaten us with is the thing a lot of people
• 9:00
  would actually say, yeah, we're actually, if
• 9:03
  you're going to steal the money from us, well,
• 9:05
  okay, that's a piece of equipment that makes
• 9:07
  sense. But this is, this is the formula that
• 9:10
  they use at any level. Like if you recall any
• 9:12
  of the federal shutdowns, they do this with the
• 9:15
  federal shutdowns too. And the federal shutdowns
• 9:17
  themselves are a total misnomer because 85 %
• 9:19
  of the federal government still runs the entire
• 9:21
  time. You know, the news is like the government
• 9:23
  shut down, everybody panic. But then if you look,
• 9:25
  you go, wait a minute, all these people are still
• 9:27
  working. All these people are still getting paid.
• 9:29
  The government's still doing shit. Checks are
• 9:30
  still getting cut. There was no COVID shutdowns.
• 9:33
  Amazon's still functioning. Target and Home Depot
• 9:35
  and Walmart and Walgreens and there's no shutdowns.
• 9:37
  There's no shutdowns. But what they do is they
• 9:39
  pick a few select spots that are more forward
• 9:41
  facing or that the public likes, things that
• 9:43
  are popular, and they shut, they close those
• 9:46
  down. So like national parks. The kiosk to enter
• 9:49
  the park. Classic government strategy to be like,
• 9:53
  well, without us, you can't go hiking. Nature
• 9:56
  doesn't exist. You have no access to nature if
• 9:59
  the government is shut down. Sorry. Pay up. Let
• 10:02
  me tweak Mayor Westland's tweet to reflect that.
• 10:05
  We may get rid of national parks next. Those
• 10:10
  are those places you like going and enjoying
• 10:12
  the outdoors on public lands, quote unquote.
• 10:16
  Losing those would be painful for everyone. But
• 10:18
  unless the residents want to keep increasing
• 10:20
  taxes, the parks just won't be open. They just
• 10:23
  go away. Okay. Like a fart in the wind. Jesus.
• 10:30
  Hey peasants, in case you feel like taking a
• 10:32
  walk on some other property that you don't pay
• 10:35
  taxes on, that you do pay taxes on still, because
• 10:37
  actually you pay taxes for this too, you can't
• 10:40
  unless you give us more money. So give us more
• 10:42
  money for the land you own or else you won't
• 10:44
  be able to take a hike on the land that we claim
• 10:47
  that you own. Cause we call it public. I like
• 10:50
  your taxes. But yeah, what a way to go about
• 10:54
  that. It's it's just sounds. Does he not hear
• 10:57
  how that sounds? Okay, if he did he might not
• 11:01
  say it. Yeah, and this guy this guy is one of
• 11:04
  the most conservative like actual actual fiscally
• 11:08
  conservative and restrained mayors I've ever
• 11:11
  seen in my life anywhere and he's still a fucking
• 11:14
  status. Yeah, man hardcore. Yep. Yep, but he
• 11:17
  has to be That is the role you have. There's
• 11:20
  a reason why libertarians never take public office
• 11:24
  is because we can't. We'd get in there and be
• 11:27
  like, oh, shit, I can't cut any of this. I want
• 11:29
  to get rid of all of this, but I can't. It's
• 11:31
  structurally impossible to get rid of this. I'm
• 11:33
  stuck. Well, as you know, as long as we're on
• 11:36
  paying your fair share, fair share. Right. Here's
• 11:39
  Idahoans paying their fair share. In August,
• 11:42
  Idaho's tax. This is from NPR. Idaho's tax collections
• 11:45
  beat expectations in August. The news comes that
• 11:48
  state officials are trying to hold budget growth
• 11:50
  for a second straight year. Idaho took in 477
• 11:54
  .6 million in August, 37 million more than expected.
• 11:58
  Just about all major tax categories beat expectations.
• 12:01
  Personal income tax led the pack about 41 million.
• 12:04
  We stole more of your income. That's 41 million
• 12:08
  dollars more than expected. 41 million dollars!
• 12:13
  Wow. Personal income tax led the pack about 41
• 12:15
  million above state forecasts. That's only one
• 12:18
  quarter of the city of folks false budget. 41
• 12:20
  million. That's chump change. Sales tax revenue
• 12:22
  modest. You can only afford like three snow gates
• 12:24
  for that. Sales tax revenue modestly beat predictions
• 12:28
  so far this fiscal year Idaho has collected 51
• 12:31
  million more in taxes than expected Corporate
• 12:34
  income tax is the lone category that is not meeting
• 12:37
  expectations I love that so meanwhile us business
• 12:40
  owners are like yeah, we know we know how to
• 12:42
  avoid this you know like Yeah, but because there's
• 12:46
  a fine line, but a very important distinction
• 12:47
  between tax evasion and tax avoidance Fine line
• 12:52
  governor Brad little has ordered a thin green
• 12:55
  line governor Brad little has ordered state officials
• 12:57
  to keep spending flat to avoid further budget
• 13:00
  cuts Yeah, totally hold on governor Brad little
• 13:02
  has ordered state officials to keep spending
• 13:05
  keep spending Keep spending You are ordered to
• 13:11
  keep spending by decree of the governor You must
• 13:15
  keep to keep spending flat to avoid further budget
• 13:18
  cuts despite ending last fiscal year nearly The
• 13:21
  snow gates. We can't afford them this year. It's
• 13:24
  berms for everyone. Let the peasants eat berms.
• 13:27
  Finally, they're going to give us something and
• 13:29
  it's a berm. Despite ending last fiscal year
• 13:31
  with nearly 620 million dollars in the black.
• 13:34
  OK, there was 620 million dollars in the black.
• 13:37
  They're running profitably. These sons of bitches
• 13:40
  all year when they get on like Matt Todd's podcast
• 13:43
  on the ranch are like, we don't have enough money.
• 13:47
  Give us more money. Gosh, that's rough. In the
• 13:52
  black Wow, they're a business and all the customers
• 13:56
  are just where there's so much revenue Coming
• 13:57
  from our customers way more than we expected
• 14:00
  Why didn't we try this before it turns out if
• 14:02
  we just point guns even harder at them. Oh good
• 14:06
  times Let's move on hold an election. So they're
• 14:10
  pointing guns at themselves and they feel good
• 14:12
  about it Speaking of statists here is NPR reporting
• 14:18
  on these statesmen Idaho Statesman owner McClatchy
• 14:22
  Media laid off 10 journalists and three editors
• 14:25
  from the Boise newsroom yesterday. Michael Licklama,
• 14:27
  chair of the Idaho News Guild, the union representing
• 14:30
  most statesman reporters, says that's 60 % of
• 14:33
  the newsroom. Licklama was himself laid off,
• 14:36
  a sports reporter at the paper for 12 years.
• 14:39
  He says he got an email Thursday morning notifying
• 14:41
  him of an HR meeting 30 minutes later. Did you
• 14:44
  hear who that was? That was our friend Michael
• 14:46
  Lick Lama. You remember that? The Lama Licker?
• 14:49
  It couldn't have happened to a nicer Lama Licker.
• 14:51
  That was all the notice that I got and got a
• 14:55
  nonsensical explanation that didn't explain any
• 14:57
  reasons why they're doing the things that they're
• 14:58
  doing. Oh, we can help you with this. Hold on.
• 15:02
  Your market value is far outstripped by what
• 15:06
  you want us to pay you. We have to let you go.
• 15:10
  What? Explain any reasons why they're doing the
• 15:13
  things that they're doing. Doesn't it sound too
• 15:14
  like he's obviously doing a radio interview with
• 15:16
  whatever the NPR reporter doesn't sound like
• 15:18
  he's doing it from Cameron Fry's bedroom from
• 15:20
  Ferris Bueller's day off like all of the curtains
• 15:22
  are drawn There's just like tissue boxes and
• 15:24
  medications all over that the the nightstand
• 15:27
  and he's just laying there on his back staring
• 15:29
  at the ceiling Barely getting out the words on
• 15:32
  the phone to the reporter You know, he's already
• 15:33
  had three or four cold showers and been through
• 15:35
  at least ten boxes of bonbons McClatchy laid
• 15:39
  off staff in newsrooms across the country yesterday.
• 15:41
  An exact count is unknown. The New York Times
• 15:44
  reports McClatchy told employees subscriber revenue
• 15:47
  at the company had fallen 41%. Who cares? Just
• 15:50
  get more from them. Just increase revenue and
• 15:52
  you'll have more revenue than you expected. Dude,
• 15:54
  just vote for a raise. I don't know why this
• 15:56
  is so complicated. It works for government and
• 15:58
  you guys love the government. Just do what they
• 16:00
  do. Threaten people with violence and vote for
• 16:03
  a raise. and why not why not threaten unionize
• 16:05
  or something i oh wait they already are unionized
• 16:07
  you could always threaten the readers too that's
• 16:09
  like you know what we're going to take off the
• 16:10
  front two and back two pages what do you think
• 16:12
  about that unless you pay more yeah a layoff
• 16:14
  notice mcclatchy sent to union leadership in
• 16:17
  the northwest and what was shared with boise
• 16:19
  state public radio listed changing subscriber
• 16:21
  interests in ways people engage with news as
• 16:24
  the reason for its restructuring you know they
• 16:25
  could do to say as a cost saving measure they
• 16:27
  could cut out the obits Well, they finally have
• 16:30
  a good one to write about their own staff ways
• 16:32
  people engage with news as the reason for its
• 16:35
  restructuring The company says it is focusing
• 16:37
  resources on journalism subscribers value and
• 16:40
  what you got a clue You got to cut that clip
• 16:42
  to management says they are restructuring to
• 16:45
  focus on journalism Just focusing resources on
• 16:48
  journalism Focusing resources on journalism.
• 16:52
  That's not what you guys do. So I checked the
• 16:55
  P &L's and I had an epiphany What if? Hear me
• 16:59
  out here. Don't shoot me down yet. What if we
• 17:02
  focused on journalism? What? It can't be done!
• 17:06
  The company says it is focusing resources on
• 17:09
  journalism. But who will report on the LGBTQ
• 17:13
  community occupying the governor's office? Who
• 17:16
  will report that? Let it be known as a black
• 17:19
  and queer individual. The LGBTQ community does
• 17:21
  not speak on my behalf. Oh, well, I guess we
• 17:23
  don't need that position. Yes. Huh? What? journalism
• 17:25
  subscribers value and what serves local communities.
• 17:30
  Not you. Says the statesman's laid -off staff
• 17:33
  is devastated at how employees and the local
• 17:36
  community are being treated. You go back 20 years
• 17:39
  or so ago and we had a hundred people in our
• 17:42
  newsroom. Now we're gonna have nine. Because
• 17:45
  you're irrelevant. You totally didn't do this
• 17:48
  to yourselves though. All they've been saying
• 17:50
  is nobody could have seen this coming. It was
• 17:53
  a total shock to everybody. We did on this program,
• 17:56
  I don't know what, 10, 12 episodes ago, they
• 17:58
  went on strike. They struck. And we mentioned
• 18:01
  that this, I think explicitly we mentioned that
• 18:04
  something like this might be coming down the
• 18:06
  pipe because that's what follows when you strike
• 18:10
  and do this sort of thing. And make demands.
• 18:12
  The company is on the verge of bankruptcy. What
• 18:14
  should we do? I know. We'll go on strike and
• 18:16
  ask for more money. We got fired? Who could have
• 18:19
  seen this coming? What did we do to deserve this?
• 18:21
  Not the HR department. We're journalists. Hey,
• 18:26
  check it out, Scott. So we are definitely on
• 18:28
  our way up because now we only have seven fewer
• 18:31
  staff members than the Idaho Statesman, dude.
• 18:34
  The Idaho Statesman only has 350 % bigger staff
• 18:37
  than us. 350%. The result of that is our community
• 18:44
  will get less of the news they need and more
• 18:48
  politicians, more companies, more, you know,
• 18:51
  shady business will get away with more things
• 18:54
  because there are fewer watchdogs. Oh, sure.
• 18:56
  That's right. That's right. Listen, the bad guys
• 18:58
  are going to get away with more because the Idaho
• 19:01
  statesman isn't there to stop them to account.
• 19:03
  We're going to keep the politicians and bureaucrats
• 19:05
  to account. And then this guy wonders why he's
• 19:08
  irrelevant and fired. Says the literal mouthpiece
• 19:13
  for the apparatus. Crazy. Can you really be that?
• 19:17
  What bubble must this guy live in? I don't know,
• 19:19
  but I'm imagining this guy imagining himself
• 19:21
  as Clark Kent. We're like, a politician that
• 19:25
  I don't like did something I don't like. Where's
• 19:27
  the nearest phone booth? Changes into his investigative
• 19:31
  journalism outfit, complete with his fedora and
• 19:33
  his glasses. Point me to the conspiracy. I'll
• 19:36
  track it down. Dun -dun -dun -dun. We have more
• 19:39
  things because there are fewer watchdogs in this
• 19:41
  community. Watchdogs. It's so good. This guy
• 19:47
  really believes that. He does. unionized newsroom
• 19:50
  employees went on a one -day strike earlier this
• 19:52
  year protesting AI content and what they called
• 19:54
  unfair wages. They had just finally reached a
• 19:57
  contract with McClatchy a few months ago. The
• 19:59
  Oklahoma says they're organizing with unions
• 20:00
  across the country now to see what options they
• 20:03
  have, and they plan to enforce the terms of their
• 20:06
  current contract. We're going to unionize even
• 20:07
  harder now. That'll show you. Did you hear the
• 20:11
  NPR reporter channeling the unions, sort of threatening?
• 20:15
  Listen, this is the very end of the clip. And
• 20:17
  they plan to enforce the terms. of their current
• 20:19
  contract, quote, to a T. To a T. So now that
• 20:24
  there are seven of us left, we're really, we
• 20:27
  mean it this time. We really mean it this time.
• 20:30
  We have the power, don't you know? In the age
• 20:34
  where machines are gonna take most of our jobs.
• 20:37
  And rightfully so because most people actually
• 20:39
  have such little market value. It's crazy. People
• 20:42
  think they're so much more valuable than they
• 20:44
  actually are. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't
• 20:47
  so sad and it'd be so sad if it wasn't so hilarious,
• 20:49
  but just the notion that these guys complain
• 20:53
  about AI taking their jobs and instead of thinking
• 20:56
  to themselves the way I would think, which is
• 20:58
  how can I be better at my job or how can I add
• 21:00
  more tools to my tool belt? Or like, you know,
• 21:03
  my job is at risk. How can I add more value to
• 21:06
  the company so they want to keep me around or
• 21:09
  add more tools to my tool belt? So when I do
• 21:11
  lose this job, I have other skill sets. No, these
• 21:15
  NPCs can only think of one thing, strike. Demand,
• 21:20
  demand more, demand more, give us more or else
• 21:22
  company that's literally telling you to your
• 21:25
  face. We can't afford you. And your response
• 21:27
  is pay me more. And then. They fire you and you're
• 21:30
  like, oh, it just came out of nowhere. Whoa.
• 21:33
  How could this have happened? Who's going to
• 21:35
  stop the bad guys now? When Lick Lama was in
• 21:38
  need, I have to actually pull that up. I've you
• 21:41
  I get the feeling you're not like encyclopedically
• 21:44
  familiar with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. No. Are
• 21:46
  you? No, I knew you weren't. OK, I'm actually
• 21:48
  going to tell you something absolutely shocking
• 21:49
  here. Don't you dare tell me you've never seen
• 21:51
  it. Oh, my God. I know all the tropes. I know
• 21:54
  the memes. I know the tropes. I've never seen
• 21:56
  it. It's not my brand of humor, man. It's not
• 21:58
  my brand of humor. I'm sorry. Hello? Cameron
• 22:09
  babe, what's happening? Very little. How do you
• 22:14
  feel? Shredded. Is your mother in the room? She's
• 22:20
  in Decatur. Unfortunately, she's not staying.
• 22:25
  Where are you? I'm taking the day off. Now get
• 22:28
  dressed and come on. This is us doing the show
• 22:29
  and Michael Licklam is in Cameron's bedroom.
• 22:32
  Hell yeah. That's all in your head. Come on over.
• 22:35
  It's a hole in your head. I feel like complete
• 22:36
  shit, Ferris. I can't go anywhere. I'm sorry
• 22:39
  to hear that. Now come on over here and pick
• 22:42
  me up. Maybe we should reach out to the statesmen.
• 22:51
  I'm thinking we're gonna have some show art here
• 22:53
  maybe. Yes. Dang. You're not dying. You just
• 23:02
  can't think of anything good to do. You know,
• 23:07
  that's actually the statesman journalists in
• 23:09
  a nutshell right there. You're not dying You
• 23:10
  just can't think of anything good to do You know,
• 23:13
  I am NOT a big John Hughes guy either, you know
• 23:16
  16 candles pretty pink breakfast club But Ferris
• 23:20
  Bueller's is an exception. I'm sure it's phenomenal.
• 23:22
  I'll get around. It's fabulous movie. Maybe when
• 23:25
  I have my own Lick Lama style crash out. I'll
• 23:29
  put on Ferris Bueller's day off and make myself
• 23:31
  feel better. I want to somehow get like a guy
• 23:33
  like in Cameron's bedroom, but he's licking llamas
• 23:37
  or something. I don't know. I have to have to
• 23:38
  work it out in my head. But, you know, if you
• 23:40
  like to and call me in the morning, if you lick
• 23:43
  llamas, you might get a disease. You know, they've
• 23:45
  been hammering. Well, they are always hammering
• 23:47
  on something epidemic. This is from KREM Channel
• 23:51
  2. It's titled Measles Cases Comma Deaths on
• 23:54
  the Rise Nationwide. The entire mainstream apparatus
• 23:58
  is getting blanketed with this. So obviously,
• 24:00
  Pfizer did a huge ad buy, huge ad buy. And here's
• 24:04
  what everything is sounding like from coast to
• 24:06
  coast. Lama tested. A 40 -year -old woman is
• 24:08
  the latest measles -related death that was now
• 24:10
  reported in Pennsylvania. And it is the third
• 24:13
  death in the state this year involving the virus
• 24:15
  as the U .S. deals with it. That's like one every
• 24:19
  three months. You're gonna die. You know who
• 24:36
  Dr. Celine Gounder is, right? An expert. Does
• 24:47
  she sound familiar to you? Raw milk? Think of
• 24:51
  it as raw sewage. That is Dr. Celine Gounder,
• 24:54
  who thinks that cows poop out of their udders.
• 24:56
  It's heavily fecal contaminated. Think about,
• 24:59
  you know, where the cows, you know, their feces
• 25:01
  are. I wonder if they're going to follow up and
• 25:04
  tell us how many people who drink raw milk got
• 25:06
  the measles. A record number. A record number.
• 25:09
  Oh. Cases are surging. This is why cases, cases,
• 25:12
  cases are solved. It's probably only raw drink
• 25:16
  milkers who got measles. Raw drink milkers? Raw
• 25:18
  milkers. It's a show title. Raw drink milkers.
• 25:23
  And you know what milkers are, right? Measles
• 25:27
  is one of the most infectious diseases known
• 25:30
  to man. So this is the go -to expert for when
• 25:35
  pharma or big dairy or any conglomerate industries
• 25:40
  want to have somebody shill on national television.
• 25:43
  Sponsored by Pfizer. Dr. Celine Gounder is one
• 25:45
  of the go -to's. Brought to you by Pfizer. Because
• 25:48
  she's always willing to say anything to fear
• 25:50
  monger into a camera lens. I'd love to see the
• 25:53
  video of her because I bet her white doctor laboratory
• 25:57
  coat has just like patches of all her sponsors,
• 26:01
  like Pfizer and Moderna. The stethoscope around
• 26:06
  her neck just moving out of the way and check
• 26:08
  the logo underneath. There's all these logos
• 26:09
  and patches. This is why it requires such high
• 26:13
  levels of immunity to prevent community transmission.
• 26:17
  If you fall below 95 % vaccination, you're going
• 26:20
  to see community spread at some point. We're
• 26:23
  at 94 .9. Sound the alarm. Pennsylvania is home
• 26:26
  to the largest current outbreak in the country.
• 26:29
  The latest measles -related death. We're gonna
• 26:30
  blame the Quakers. A 40 -year -old woman with
• 26:32
  underlying conditions who had not been vaccinated.
• 26:36
  I looked up, I was like... Now, they said a 40
• 26:39
  -year -old woman with underlying conditions and
• 26:41
  they didn't specify. I was like, she's 750 pounds
• 26:44
  and had stage seven brain cancer. Or has some
• 26:47
  sort of heart, some pulmonary disease or some
• 26:49
  kind of, you know, like super AIDS mixed with
• 26:52
  asthma or something like that. She got, oh, you
• 26:55
  know, you make the AIDS comparison, you kid,
• 26:57
  but wait till later in this clip. I tried to
• 26:59
  look up, like, what were those comorbidities
• 27:02
  or whatever? Couldn't find it. Doesn't seem to
• 27:04
  be publicly available information. But I guarantee
• 27:07
  you she had 18 different things and was 600 pounds.
• 27:10
  Oh, it's like how with COVID. I mean, we're I
• 27:12
  know we're I know we beat that horse till it's
• 27:14
  dead and dead and dead. But most everybody who
• 27:17
  died from COVID was one of three or all of three
• 27:19
  things over the age of 65 overweight or over
• 27:24
  medicated. and had underlying health issues.
• 27:27
  And even that it was bull crap because they got
• 27:29
  incentivized to change the death certificates,
• 27:31
  yeah. Bit by a shark, death by COVID. In a statement
• 27:34
  posted on Facebook, Jefferson County coroner
• 27:36
  Greg Furlong said, this is a heartbreaking loss
• 27:39
  for the family and an unfortunate reminder that
• 27:42
  measles can be a serious and potentially life
• 27:45
  -threatening disease. Dr. Gounder reminds that
• 27:48
  measles is much more than a fever or rash. Measles
• 27:52
  infects the immune system. So you can think of
• 27:54
  it a little bit like In the case of measles is
• 27:58
  AIDS. I win. Measles infects the immune system.
• 28:05
  So you can think of it a little bit like HIV.
• 28:07
  In the case of measles, it is erasing your immune
• 28:10
  system's memory to various infections or vaccination.
• 28:16
  Hey, immune system, come on over here. Okay.
• 28:19
  We're going to, I'm going to put you in the hat.
• 28:21
  Okay. It's a normal top hat. See audience? It's
• 28:23
  a normal top hat. Now into the top hat goes the
• 28:26
  immune system. To various infections. Well, you
• 28:29
  see this top hat with the Pfizer patch on it,
• 28:31
  if we put it into this top hat, we pull it back
• 28:34
  out and it's still there. The top hat doesn't
• 28:36
  have the Pfizer patch. Poof, it's gone. To various
• 28:40
  infections or vaccinations you got in the past.
• 28:43
  And that leaves... So your prior vaccinations
• 28:44
  don't matter. Yeah, you've erased them. Your
• 28:47
  body doesn't remember them any longer. to various
• 28:51
  infections or vaccinations you got in the past.
• 28:54
  And that leaves infants and children highly vulnerable
• 28:58
  to bacterial infection. Highly vulnerable. Won't
• 29:00
  somebody please think of the children? We went
• 29:02
  from middle -aged women to babies. And that leaves
• 29:05
  infants and children highly vulnerable to bacterial
• 29:09
  infections. And then in the next two to three
• 29:10
  years, during this window where their immune
• 29:12
  system is not properly protecting them, they
• 29:15
  then get these other infections and that's what
• 29:17
  they ultimately die from. I don't see what the
• 29:22
  big deal is about. I mean, we have a middle -aged
• 29:24
  woman lecturing us about children in this day
• 29:26
  and age. We should probably just keep those two
• 29:29
  subgroups separated from each other anyways.
• 29:33
  Dr. Celine Gounder is not allowed to buy exercise
• 29:35
  bands. No. Won't somebody please think of the
• 29:38
  children? Anyway, do you sell any other silicone
• 29:41
  rubber products? Or a vaccine for getting the
• 29:43
  big sad so you don't strangle your own kids?
• 29:46
  Was that too on the nose? Too soon. Measles vaccination
• 29:49
  rates have dropped significantly since the pandemic.
• 29:52
  Oh, gee, why might that be? You watchdog journalists,
• 29:56
  why might that be? Hey, you be quiet without
• 29:58
  them. people be getting away with this shit significantly
• 30:01
  since the pandemic while vaccine exemptions not
• 30:04
  for medical reasons have increased. Oh, is that
• 30:07
  right? I wonder why I guess people have just
• 30:11
  gotten way dumber, huh? Health officials stress
• 30:14
  two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97 % effective
• 30:18
  and provide protection for life for most. Wait,
• 30:22
  I thought I thought I thought it was erasing
• 30:25
  our immune systems and I thought the other vaccinations
• 30:27
  didn't matter. So what's the deal? I don't understand.
• 30:31
  My memory's been erased. I don't even remember
• 30:32
  what this clip was about. I need to boost. Boost.
• 30:36
  Super boost. I absolutely loved that clip. That
• 30:38
  was just a phenomenal. It was on Creme Channel
• 30:41
  too, but there was no like Idaho specific thing
• 30:44
  in here, even though it was on an Idaho affiliate,
• 30:46
  because every affiliate from coast to coast is
• 30:48
  being blanketed with it. Dr. Selene Gounder did
• 30:50
  the national. you know, whatever, spokesperson
• 30:52
  rollout, like she always does. She and several
• 30:55
  others are in like a recur, they're like a Rolodex
• 30:57
  of shills that get called upon for this incident.
• 30:59
  So measles, it just killed a 40 year old unvaccinated
• 31:02
  woman. It's going to kill all the babies and
• 31:05
  infants. It's going to kill you. It's like AIDS,
• 31:08
  but, but not if you get vaccinated. That's what
• 31:11
  they're, that's what they said. Sign me up. I'll
• 31:13
  take two. They're small. Brought to you by Pfizer.
• 31:18
  Okay. That was measles. So look out. The air
• 31:21
  is dangerous. Thank God for these watchdogs.
• 31:25
  Man, what would we do without them in the mainstream
• 31:27
  media? Doing the Lord's work out there, man.
• 31:28
  Oh my God. God, there's only nine of them left
• 31:30
  at the Statesman. What are we going to do? Okay,
• 31:35
  we're only at 33. Huh. We're getting through
• 31:39
  a lot of clips today. How's about, do you want
• 31:43
  to do ice or Coeur d 'Alene schools? Let's do
• 31:49
  Coeur d 'Alene schools. Because we gear up for
• 31:51
  election season, people in Coeur d 'Alene will
• 31:53
  have to decide whether they want to pay more
• 31:55
  for schools. Can you imagine? And if you vote
• 32:00
  no, you're a heartless monster who hates kids.
• 32:04
  Won't somebody please? All of the money obviously
• 32:08
  goes to the kids, not to the teachers unions
• 32:12
  or the buildings or anything like that or the
• 32:14
  administrative costs. No, it goes to the kids,
• 32:17
  right? Right, Scott? Doesn't it go to the kids?
• 32:19
  Well teachers pay and unfortunately if you're
• 32:22
  gonna if unless you're gonna pay more the art
• 32:25
  program and the music program They're just they're
• 32:27
  gonna go the way of the snowplow Sorry unless
• 32:30
  you want to pay more that is The school district's
• 32:33
  current levy is expiring so they're running a
• 32:36
  replacement levy right now property owners pay
• 32:38
  $91 a year per $100 ,000 of assessed value you
• 32:42
  notice how they never actually give the full
• 32:44
  number like They never, they always do that.
• 32:47
  They break it down that way. We talked about
• 32:48
  this just two episodes ago with the fire levy.
• 32:51
  We talk about it only $105 per a thousand per
• 32:55
  a hundred thousand dollars of assessed value.
• 32:57
  Of course, in an area where your assessed property
• 32:59
  is anywhere between 1 .1 and 2 .5 million dollars,
• 33:02
  but it's only $105 per a hundred thousand of
• 33:06
  assessed value. They never ever, ever actually
• 33:09
  go, okay. So the median home valuation in Coeur
• 33:12
  d 'Alene is 650 ,000. 6 .5 times $95 is, I can't
• 33:20
  do math, but we're somewhere in the realm of
• 33:22
  like $800, $900. That's the bill. So you're $900
• 33:26
  annual for this, give or take. They never actually
• 33:29
  say it like that, ever. Well, breaking it down
• 33:31
  in that fashion is the job of llama licking watchdog
• 33:34
  journalists like us. Yeah. If the levy passes,
• 33:38
  that would go up to $110. Whoa! That means if
• 33:41
  your house is worth $600 ,000, you would pay
• 33:43
  about $114 more per year. Oh, but they don't
• 33:46
  give us the full number! Now let's make this
• 33:48
  to the increase, because it's only $114, man.
• 33:50
  Paul just whacked the table about as hard as
• 33:52
  he could. $114, you would pay about $114 more
• 33:55
  per year. I actually thought maybe, just maybe,
• 33:57
  they were going to give us the total there for
• 33:59
  a minute. I was going to eat my own words, but
• 34:00
  nope, I know what I'm talking about. They didn't
• 34:03
  do it. Natalie Keller tells us what that money's
• 34:06
  for. Oh, we have three. What is that money for?
• 34:08
  And the first two don't count. The school district
• 34:11
  says that extra money is needed to help keep
• 34:13
  up with inflation and keep paying for current
• 34:16
  expenses. As those costs go up. It's inflation's
• 34:19
  fault. Inflation did it. Inflation did it. As
• 34:21
  those costs go up, the district says it needs
• 34:24
  more money to pay for things like salaries, academic
• 34:27
  programs, and school safety. The district needs
• 34:29
  more money. Whoops. The levy would also pay for
• 34:33
  athletics and extracurriculars, technology, classroom
• 34:37
  supplies, and other operating expenses. Those
• 34:40
  levy dollars wouldn't go toward any new expenses.
• 34:43
  Same stuff before and as before, and it's just
• 34:46
  costing more as everybody knows. The levy amounts
• 34:49
  to about a quarter of the district's funding.
• 34:51
  That's because the district doesn't get enough
• 34:53
  federal and state money to pay for everything.
• 34:56
  In Idaho, school funding is based off average
• 34:59
  attendance in each district. not the actual number
• 35:02
  of students enrolled. That means the district
• 35:05
  loses about $45 every time a student is absent.
• 35:09
  We have pretty good daily attendance at around
• 35:12
  92%, but that means you're leaving 8 % funding
• 35:15
  on the table. So this this levy does help fill
• 35:17
  that gap as well. The district says if the levy
• 35:20
  doesn't pass, they have to make significant cuts,
• 35:23
  including layoffs, larger class sizes and reducing
• 35:26
  services. That's how involved that levy really
• 35:29
  is. We've been very fortunate. The levy has been.
• 35:34
  supported by our community since the 80s. I like
• 35:37
  his hesitation when he was trying to figure out
• 35:38
  how to phrase that. The levy has been extracted,
• 35:42
  stolen from, for 40 plus years. supported by
• 35:47
  our support since the eighties. And I think we
• 35:49
  do a really good job of getting the, the message
• 35:52
  out as to what that levy funds. We do read. We
• 35:55
  do a great job of propagandizing it every election
• 35:57
  cycle. Well, yeah, you do because you have the
• 36:00
  press as your mouthpiece. You have all of the
• 36:02
  leader, leader, leaders is your mouthpiece. All
• 36:04
  of the watchdogs is your mouthpiece. Every. Oh,
• 36:08
  and, and I love my favorite part is all of the
• 36:09
  teachers who send little Johnny and little Jenny
• 36:11
  home for weeks on end and say, tell your parents
• 36:15
  to vote. Yes. or else life as you know it will
• 36:17
  end here. The message out as to what that levy
• 36:21
  funds and the necessity of that funding, it's
• 36:25
  really a fundamental levy. If it passes, the
• 36:28
  new taxes would take effect next summer and continue
• 36:31
  for the next two years. And if the levy does
• 36:34
  not pass in November... Then you're going to
• 36:36
  get put. It's going to get put in front of you
• 36:38
  until you vote correctly. You stupid bleeds.
• 36:41
  And if the levy does not pass in November, it
• 36:44
  would be up to the school board to decide whether
• 36:46
  they want to try to do it again. Which why don't
• 36:49
  we ever get that option, Scott, when we vote
• 36:52
  no. And on the rare, on the rare occasion that
• 36:55
  no wins, which happens once in a blue moon and
• 36:58
  they get to fucking do it again anyway. Three
• 37:01
  months later. But we never, ever, ever get to
• 37:04
  mulligan when no wins. Like when yes wins, I
• 37:07
  should say. When yes for the levy wins, we never
• 37:11
  get to be like, oh, well, let's do it. Put the
• 37:12
  levy up there again. I'd like a revote, please.
• 37:14
  Yeah, revote. The district says it needs more
• 37:16
  money. Well, that's why. That's the answer. The
• 37:18
  district says it needs more money. You'll never
• 37:21
  guess what the district says it needs. The district
• 37:23
  doesn't get enough. Is this an ask Paul? Is it
• 37:26
  getting enough? The district doesn't get enough.
• 37:28
  Wait, I know this one. Ask Paul. OK, let's just
• 37:32
  do it. All right. I don't even know what the
• 37:34
  question is going to be. I wish I had my sound
• 37:35
  bite. Here comes the question. Big or small?
• 37:38
  Make your guess before we call. The game begins.
• 37:40
  It's ask Paul. Brought to you by Pfizer. Does
• 37:44
  the district get enough? Money. You want to try
• 37:49
  that again? Does the district get enough? Money.
• 37:53
  Sticking with money. Does the district get enough?
• 37:56
  I'll take more money. For nine hundred doesn't
• 38:00
  get enough I win doesn't get enough doesn't get
• 38:04
  enough more extra money Many more shmeckles,
• 38:07
  please The district says it needs more money.
• 38:11
  We need a some show art that has well It's groundhog
• 38:14
  fat again slobby person with this giant ass tray
• 38:20
  full of food the coin Please peasants. Give me
• 38:25
  more or maybe us as the plebes, the peasants
• 38:29
  who are being extorted. We just go like, please
• 38:32
  sirs, maybe keep some more of what was ours to
• 38:35
  begin with. I don't know something. We'll, we'll.
• 38:36
  Okay. I mean, I immediately flashed on Ben Stiller's
• 38:39
  character from dodge ball at the very end where
• 38:41
  he's eating the chicken and he's in the fat suit,
• 38:44
  you know, something like that. Yeah. I won that
• 38:46
  tournament fucking Chuck Norris. And now he's
• 38:50
  eating the giant tub of ice cream. Actually really,
• 38:53
  maybe the better one would be, uh, Ben Stiller
• 38:55
  from Zoolander was like, how can the kids learn
• 38:59
  how to read good if they can't even fit inside
• 39:02
  the building? A center for ants? Yes. The district
• 39:06
  doesn't get enough. It needs to be at least three
• 39:12
  times bigger. More money. He's absolutely right.
• 39:17
  All right. Let's move along here. One more and
• 39:20
  then we'll do a mid show. Uh, this is as long
• 39:24
  as I, you know what I would love again for them
• 39:26
  to, uh, I said this earlier when we were off
• 39:28
  show when we should have had the mics rolling
• 39:30
  in the pre -show show, the city of Coeur d 'Alene
• 39:33
  and the city, all the cities, all government
• 39:35
  entities should have a website page dedicated
• 39:39
  to their budget where we, we as the filthy peasants
• 39:42
  who are forced to fund this bullshit can go and
• 39:45
  look line for fucking line. At the budget and
• 39:49
  it needs to be like so it's 2026 We should be
• 39:51
  able to see 2025 at backwards and the school
• 39:55
  districts should do the same damn thing instead
• 39:57
  of them Propagandizing to us. Well, what does
• 39:59
  this stuff go for? Oh, you know all the stuff
• 40:01
  we used to buy before Nothing's changed instead
• 40:04
  like don't show me Show me Like where is the
• 40:08
  money going? You know 80 % of it of course to
• 40:10
  payroll is all because you know government's
• 40:12
  a jobs program But every time they do this and
• 40:15
  they tell us is for school supplies and children
• 40:17
  and teachers pay, but then you, anytime you dig
• 40:20
  into it and you peel it back, it's, it's, it's
• 40:22
  administrative costs and building maintenance
• 40:25
  and shit like that payroll and payroll. Yeah.
• 40:28
  But, but when it comes to payroll, even it's
• 40:31
  admin costs, like teachers who are making 60,
• 40:35
  70 K who always work nine months out of the year,
• 40:38
  by the way, and complain, it's not enough. Plus
• 40:39
  platinum, Benny's and complain is not enough.
• 40:41
  The money doesn't get to them anyways, and it's
• 40:44
  their own administrative structure that's devouring
• 40:47
  the dollars that they want. But they also support
• 40:51
  for it. They support the union and they built
• 40:54
  this own system that then takes their dollars
• 40:57
  that they want from us and instead it goes to
• 40:59
  admin costs. You have superintendents making
• 41:02
  six figures and teachers making $48 ,000 and
• 41:07
  they just don't connect the dots. I don't know
• 41:10
  what makes you think you have the right to look
• 41:12
  at their budget line items. You're only compulsory.
• 41:16
  The funding is coming from you in a compulsory
• 41:18
  fashion. But as the funder who has no choice
• 41:21
  but to fund them, I don't know why in the world
• 41:22
  you would think you should be able to see where
• 41:25
  the money's going. It's crazy, right? Therein
• 41:26
  is the rub. And they have the gall to look us
• 41:29
  in the eye and call it public schools or call
• 41:32
  it public lands. But the moment you step foot
• 41:35
  on anything they call public XYZ, If you step
• 41:39
  foot on it without their permission, they can
• 41:41
  trespass your ass. If it's public lands, they
• 41:45
  bar and gate the roads. You're not allowed to
• 41:47
  go there now. If you try to go to national forest
• 41:49
  stuff or whatever and you miss the kiosk and
• 41:51
  don't pay for your ticket to get in, they can
• 41:53
  arrest you for that. You can't do anything without
• 41:56
  permission. If I walked on, you know, you and
• 41:59
  I, if we went down to Post Falls High School
• 42:00
  right now to go shoot some hoops, they trespass
• 42:03
  our asses. We're not allowed to do that. But
• 42:05
  they have the gall to force us to pay for it
• 42:08
  and call it a public school When I read the power
• 42:13
  broker, which I might have described to you or
• 42:15
  on this program I can't remember about Robert
• 42:16
  Moses in New York the the parks director quote
• 42:19
  -unquote who became the Tsar of all things bridges
• 42:22
  roads and parks and by extension the rest of
• 42:25
  the US followed because city planners were sort
• 42:27
  of working underneath the god -king Robert Moses
• 42:30
  from the 20s through the 60s well his first large
• 42:33
  is for the project that sort of first put them
• 42:36
  on the map and started this meteoric rise was
• 42:38
  Jones Beach State Park out in Long Island. And
• 42:41
  they described I'm showing Paul on the map right
• 42:43
  now because we're in the same room. They described
• 42:45
  what they had to go through because they couldn't
• 42:48
  really eminent domain it because all of this
• 42:50
  land along the way from the city out to this
• 42:53
  reach stretch of white sandy beach. It was all
• 42:56
  the robber barons. It was all their properties,
• 42:58
  the legacy family properties of, uh, you know,
• 43:01
  the Jews. Uh, yeah. And so, and, and so they,
• 43:04
  there was, so you, so you mean, uh, Fauci's relatives.
• 43:07
  Yeah. Fauci. Yeah. We're okay. Always have to
• 43:10
  play this. If all else fails, he can always move
• 43:11
  back to the motherland of Israel and he'll be
• 43:13
  fine. They had, he had to pull a lot of maneuvers.
• 43:17
  Um, It was complicated and they couldn't just
• 43:20
  eminent domain it they would depend the families
• 43:21
  were too powerful They couldn't do to them what
• 43:24
  they can do to us so that's what made me think
• 43:27
  of it is there was there was a Descriptions in
• 43:30
  the book about how when families would attempt
• 43:33
  to drive out there as automobiles came on the
• 43:36
  scene in the 20s and 30s but before sort of before
• 43:38
  the park was in existence they would Try driving
• 43:42
  through property that belonged to one of these
• 43:45
  families. Good luck there's gates, there's guards,
• 43:48
  there's no, no, no, you can't go on this land.
• 43:50
  This long belongs to the Rothschilds. It kind
• 43:53
  of sounds like what you were just describing
• 43:55
  a little bit, doesn't it? That the public lands
• 43:57
  you were just describing. Yeah. And if you do
• 43:59
  get through the Rothschilds property to get to
• 44:01
  that quote unquote public park, you still don't
• 44:04
  have permission. Like unless you have permission,
• 44:06
  you don't get to do anything. But by golly, we
• 44:09
  paid for it. Well, they did. I didn't. I didn't
• 44:12
  live in New York in 1930, but you get the idea.
• 44:15
  It's like, It blows my mind, man, when people
• 44:17
  talk about, like, well, if we didn't have the
• 44:19
  federal government, we wouldn't have any national
• 44:21
  parks and all the land would get developed by
• 44:22
  megacorps. It's like, first off, OK, cool. That
• 44:26
  means the tax base grows. And secondly, I'd probably
• 44:28
  have more access to most of it. And they'd still
• 44:32
  charge me for it, but they'd open up the roads
• 44:34
  I want to hunt. Either way, I pay, but I'd get
• 44:38
  more access. And if I have a complaint, I can
• 44:40
  talk to somebody. Yes. Hi Jews. There's some
• 44:44
  potholes. Yes. Hello Netanyahu. Hey, could you
• 44:47
  open up old Forest Service Road 509 for me? I'd
• 44:50
  like to do some grouse hunting this weekend.
• 44:52
  And I was thinking since we're on such friendly
• 44:54
  terms and I know your buddy Scott Moskowitz,
• 44:56
  maybe you could do me a solid. That doesn't sound
• 44:58
  like a Jewish name. Oh, excuse me. Scott Stein
• 45:03
  Goldberg Moskowitz. Oh yeah. I know that. I know
• 45:05
  that family. Yeah. That's the one. They're bankers,
• 45:08
  I'm pretty sure. Here is one more before mid
• 45:11
  show. And this is we've done a we did one of
• 45:13
  these a few shows ago. This is the latest pre
• 45:16
  -roll promo that NPR is running for another NPR
• 45:20
  podcast that, you know, 30 seconds before it
• 45:23
  starts, whatever it is you're trying to listen
• 45:25
  to. This is what plays. What's up? You good?
• 45:29
  Yeah. Oh, there we go. OK. OK. I feel like I've
• 45:32
  been yelling into the microphone the whole time
• 45:34
  because I couldn't hear myself very well. It's
• 45:35
  just because my volume was turned down on the
• 45:37
  odd mobile. Have I been yelling into the mic?
• 45:39
  No. OK. I'll take care of it in post. This is
• 45:43
  the pre -roll currently running on NPR. I was
• 45:46
  going to do a NASPOL, but it was unguessable.
• 45:49
  What can sheep tell us about the history of Idaho
• 45:51
  in partnership with the Community Library in
• 45:54
  Ketchum and the Trailing of the Sheep Festival?
• 45:56
  The second season of our podcast, Sheepstories,
• 45:59
  returns. The stories from ranchers, herders,
• 46:01
  and communities across the Wood River Valley.
• 46:03
  I thought this was a story about taxpayers for
• 46:04
  a minute. That's why I loved it. Hear how sheep
• 46:08
  shaped Ketchum, how ranching is changing, and
• 46:10
  how generations of people and even sheepdogs
• 46:12
  have kept this way of life moving forward. Sheepstories
• 46:16
  season two. Listen right now on your favorite
• 46:18
  podcast app. Yes, we're going to install the
• 46:21
  flock cameras and while while you're observing
• 46:23
  the flock camera Why don't you listen to sheeps
• 46:26
  of Idaho the yes how sheep have shaped Idaho
• 46:29
  from the watchdogs at NPR? So flock cameras and
• 46:33
  catch them are basically going to be like that
• 46:35
  song from Jack Johnson people pictures of people
• 46:38
  taking pictures of people taking so flock cameras
• 46:42
  watching sheep or watching sheep in catch it
• 46:46
  wow that Who put this out? NPR? Oh my god. It's
• 46:49
  NPR. Pander harder, NPR, please. Pander even
• 46:51
  harder. I mean, that's some pretty pandery stuff
• 46:53
  right there. Hey, Idaho, banjo, sheep stuff.
• 46:57
  Pander, pander, pander. What can sheep tell us
• 47:02
  about the history of Idaho? They can't tell us
• 47:04
  anything. They're too busy paying taxes. Well,
• 47:07
  you know what they say. You can shear a sheep
• 47:08
  many times, but you can only skin them once.
• 47:14
  You gotta clip that too. All right, well, this
• 47:18
  one's already this full of gems. I got so many.
• 47:20
  That's honestly half the work I do in this show
• 47:22
  is pulling sound drops from the episode we just
• 47:25
  did. That's some fine work, by the way, Scott.
• 47:27
  Fine work from you, sir. This is some good stuff
• 47:30
  this week. Isn't it? The district doesn't get
• 47:33
  enough. They don't get enough. We need money.
• 47:37
  The district says it needs more money. So does
• 47:40
  no ID. Let's be honest about it. Whatever we're
• 47:43
  getting, the district doesn't get enough. It's
• 47:45
  not enough. That's the the value for value model
• 47:50
  is what the show runs on. And a little bird told
• 47:53
  me to be more concise with this stupid segment.
• 47:55
  So that's what I'm going to do. We try to put
• 47:58
  out a valuable product with this show. We try
• 47:59
  to make it valuable every week. If you find the
• 48:02
  show to be valuable, you use it as a part of
• 48:06
  your weekly routine, which I've I've gotten many
• 48:08
  messages that. It is like a Thursday morning
• 48:10
  routine for a fair amount of people. It's just
• 48:12
  that they're in their podcast app Thursday morning
• 48:14
  and they go to work or they commute. They put
• 48:16
  in their head earbuds and they listen to the
• 48:19
  show like clockwork. If you find it valuable,
• 48:21
  which presumably if you're doing that, you do,
• 48:24
  then return some value to the program with your
• 48:26
  time, talent or treasure. That's the model. Time
• 48:31
  and talent is. Sending us articles sending us
• 48:34
  show audio telling a friend about the show sending
• 48:37
  them links forwarding the newsletter Which you
• 48:39
  can sign up for at no ID show calm or any other
• 48:42
  form of? Correspondence and sending stuff back
• 48:44
  to us like boots on the ground reports like notes
• 48:48
  about stuff We missed like notes about stuff.
• 48:50
  We got right anything like or stuff. We got wrong
• 48:52
  which happens to me apparently like every other
• 48:54
  week No, I do show them all you know I shoot
• 48:57
  my shot you can't win them all But if I was playing,
• 48:59
  if I was a baseball player, I'd be like super
• 49:01
  mega pro because I'm batting like 700. The time
• 49:05
  and talent portion are very important parts of
• 49:07
  the no agent. Geez of the no ID value for value
• 49:11
  model. And I'm having a Freudian slip because
• 49:14
  the model comes from no agenda. The mothership
• 49:17
  that has pioneered it. for about almost 20 years.
• 49:20
  And it's a simple and honest model. It means
• 49:23
  there's no sponsors. It means there's no advertisements.
• 49:25
  It means there's no outside influences like Pfizer
• 49:28
  or Big Dairy or public sector unions or anything
• 49:32
  like that that makes people be, you know, whatever
• 49:34
  the opposite of a watchdog journalist is. Not
• 49:38
  this show value for value Time talent treasure
• 49:40
  the treasure portion is hugely important it takes
• 49:43
  a lot of work and time and effort to execute
• 49:45
  this program and Treasure helps keep the lights
• 49:48
  on helps keep you know helps pay the bills. Let's
• 49:51
  let's be real No ID show calm sign up for the
• 49:54
  newsletter return value with treasure whatever
• 49:56
  treasure means to you a buck a hundred bucks
• 49:59
  a thousand bucks only you can determine what
• 50:01
  value is means a lot of different things to a
• 50:03
  lot of different people. So we'll just say thanks
• 50:05
  in advance. Do you have a song? I should have
• 50:07
  asked you that. I do. You are my citadel, you
• 50:43
  are my wish, you are my baby blow, oh, oh, oh
• 50:47
  You still like liquor to get me inspired, but
• 50:50
  you look so beautiful, my new supplier I used
• 50:53
  to like smoking to stop all the thinking, but
• 50:55
  I found a different bus The world is a curse,
• 50:59
  it'll kill if you let it I know they got pills,
• 51:02
  I can't help you forget it, they bottle - I don't
• 54:01
  usually do two cups, but I'm going to do it today.
• 54:04
  Throwing caution to the wind. Just a party animal
• 54:07
  like that. Two cups of coffee. Somebody stop
• 54:10
  me. I'm still pretty loaded personally. Paul
• 54:13
  brought, what was the, the roaster you mentioned
• 54:15
  in the last show? Oh, Wilder. Yeah. Wilder coffee
• 54:17
  roasting. Now we have it in the flesh. Yeah.
• 54:19
  Delicious. Even though I didn't make it right.
• 54:22
  Screwed that up. Yeah. But even, even all messed
• 54:24
  up is it was delicious. So imagine when, when
• 54:26
  we do it right. Whatever I made with my cup of
• 54:30
  coffee was not enough All right, well speaking
• 54:36
  of goods and things like making a cup of coffee
• 54:39
  and The story you relate I believe it was just
• 54:43
  the last show about your daughter and the coffee
• 54:47
  Stand or shop. Oh, yeah, she worked out before
• 54:49
  yeah, but it's actually Scott shots time. Oh
• 54:53
  I can't play my audio because I'm here in person
• 54:55
  and I don't have my Laptop. Oh, I'll do it, but
• 54:59
  I can't like I was saying earlier. I need an
• 55:00
  intro otherwise. It's not gonna work All right,
• 55:06
  yeah, that's right. That's um I'm running at
• 55:08
  sunrise in a beanie and a sweatsuit. I'm doing
• 55:13
  shadow boxing. Let's go I'm on the... I don't
• 55:17
  know if I'm on the right side of the tracks or
• 55:18
  the wrong side of the tracks, but I'm on the
• 55:20
  tracks. Oh look, he's in downtown Los Angeles.
• 55:22
  You'll find out soon enough, Scott. He's a Jew
• 55:24
  and all. They'll let you know. There's fires
• 55:26
  burning in metal trash cans. Oh, it's LA. Yeah,
• 55:29
  downtown LA. Tire fires. That's right. Alright,
• 55:33
  let's go. What do we got? So, I love it. I'm
• 55:37
  pretty proud of myself because this ties into
• 55:39
  our What on Earth segment as well. I'm just gonna
• 55:42
  call it that till we get a better name, but...
• 55:45
  Okay, Scott. So this made big news at the beginning
• 55:49
  of this year. Although the survey was done in
• 55:53
  2024. So why it took like a year and a half,
• 55:54
  I don't know. But a survey by Northwestern Mutual,
• 55:59
  which is a wealth management company out of the
• 56:01
  Northeast, even though they're called Northwestern,
• 56:04
  interviewed their boomer clients. Actually, I
• 56:08
  think they interviewed all their clients, but
• 56:09
  most of them are boomers because boomers hold
• 56:10
  most of the wealth. So it just kind of works
• 56:13
  out that way. I got a couple of I got a couple
• 56:16
  of questions here. So number one first question
• 56:19
  boomers hold a grand total of How much in like
• 56:24
  in real doll in dollar terms how much wealth?
• 56:30
  in the country of America so just across America
• 56:33
  How much wealth is concentrated in the hands
• 56:36
  of the single generation known as boomers now?
• 56:38
  We're including South America or just North North
• 56:41
  America No, we included the US of A. Okay, just
• 56:44
  clarifying. America. US of United States. Is
• 56:46
  there any other America? I don't even know of
• 56:49
  any other Americas. Well, there's the South one.
• 56:51
  In the words of that lady who was the ambassador
• 56:54
  to NATO, fuck South America. Fuck the EU. And
• 56:56
  North America. Victoria Nuland. It's just the
• 56:58
  US of A. Yeah. America. And you know what? Fuck
• 57:01
  the EU. Yeah, you know, America. I knew that
• 57:03
  on the soundboard, actually. Okay, boomers. uh
• 57:07
  control i think it's um i think it's like in
• 57:10
  the 70s 77 percent oh you're going for percentage
• 57:16
  so i was saying oh total numbers like dollars
• 57:19
  oh my god i don't even wouldn't even know how
• 57:21
  to guess that uh how much uh one 1 .2 trillion
• 57:29
  uh where's your where's your booing or your wrong
• 57:33
  buzzer an estimated $122 trillion. Oh, get out
• 57:39
  of town. Are you, are you serious? Dead serious.
• 57:42
  Now that of course includes real, that's real
• 57:43
  estate. That's not just like, that's not just
• 57:45
  loose, loose Schmeckles flying around. That's
• 57:47
  every that's assets. That's real estate. You
• 57:50
  know, that's everything. But in real dollar terms,
• 57:52
  it's a hundred and like 22 trillion doll hairs.
• 57:57
  That is hard to, that you can't wrap your mind
• 58:00
  around really what that even means. That's, that's
• 58:03
  insane. Okay. With, well, I guess we'll be more
• 58:10
  specific. Right now they're saying 90ish to 95
• 58:13
  trillion, but a projected 124 trillion to be
• 58:17
  transferred upon, you know, when like as the,
• 58:20
  as that generation passes away. Yeah. It's going
• 58:22
  to be transferred to the in -home care during
• 58:24
  the last month of their life. Yeah. Okay. Follow
• 58:27
  -up question. What percentage is that of all
• 58:31
  the wealth? Accumulated wealth in the United
• 58:35
  States and so okay. Well going with my 70 something
• 58:39
  percent Well that that was so that that's the
• 58:43
  answer. I meant the first time 70 77 percent
• 58:47
  It's somewhere in between 55 and 75. Oh Depends
• 58:51
  on who you ask I'm wrong. It's but Mean I said
• 58:57
  77 over high -end assembly. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
• 58:59
  over half Yeah, so I looked at three or four
• 59:01
  different articles and I'm gonna go with just
• 59:03
  like just over half Yeah the ish percent cuz
• 59:06
  some say close to 70 some say close to 60 some
• 59:08
  say close to 52 the average consent the Consensus
• 59:11
  average is like 55 percent. Okay, sure. Okay,
• 59:15
  but here's where it gets really good and what
• 59:17
  I'm really driving at what percentage of What
• 59:25
  percentage of them, of boomers polled, say they
• 59:29
  plan to leave anything to their kids or grandkids?
• 59:34
  Well, given that die with nothing is like a cornerstone.
• 59:38
  It was like a best seller. That's a predominant
• 59:42
  ethos. Obviously not everyone agrees with that.
• 59:46
  Some that will leave nothing don't think they're
• 59:48
  gonna, but they will torch it all off in the
• 59:51
  last couple of months. paying in home care. I
• 59:54
  mean, I wouldn't imagine it would be that high.
• 59:59
  25 % that day. Close enough. Less than 22 % of
• 1:00:05
  boomers polled say they intend to leave anything
• 1:00:08
  at all to their kids or grandkids. One in five
• 1:00:12
  will openly admit I'm not leaving them jack crap.
• 1:00:15
  Yeah. And only 11 % polled say that leaving anything
• 1:00:19
  for their kids or their grandkids. is of any
• 1:00:22
  high importance. One in ten. One in ten. So nine
• 1:00:27
  in ten say it's not important to leave them anything?
• 1:00:29
  Nine out of ten boomers say it is not important
• 1:00:32
  to them to build, maintain, or leave generational
• 1:00:37
  wealth. Whoa. I wonder... Now think of that and
• 1:00:42
  go, okay, there's a hundred, right now there's
• 1:00:44
  roughly a hundred trillion in play. And by the
• 1:00:47
  time that the boomers are all fully finally dead
• 1:00:50
  and gone, it's going to be projected, you know,
• 1:00:52
  $125 trillion worth of assets, supposedly that's,
• 1:00:57
  you know, maybe could be transferred. 90 % of
• 1:01:01
  that will never see their, their, uh, their kids
• 1:01:07
  or their grandkids or at the least, at least
• 1:01:09
  it's not important to them that it does. Well,
• 1:01:12
  yeah, that's true. So 80%, maybe it will make
• 1:01:15
  their best efforts because they'll kick off and
• 1:01:17
  their living trust is that I mean, I don't I
• 1:01:21
  I wouldn't I wonder how that was phrased by the
• 1:01:24
  pollster because you know the question was something
• 1:01:26
  like Agree or disagree you I don't think it's
• 1:01:29
  it like the you know I'm saying like a lot is
• 1:01:31
  in the way the question is that I can't speak
• 1:01:32
  to but but For those of us who engage in things
• 1:01:36
  like history politics Dem philosophy ideology
• 1:01:39
  and demographics typically we also those of us
• 1:01:42
  who do that I'm speaking for myself. I guess
• 1:01:44
  have an interest in demographics as well Uh,
• 1:01:46
  this rings true, like everything we know about
• 1:01:49
  the, the generations between the silent generation,
• 1:01:52
  which is the boomers parents, the boomers gen
• 1:01:55
  X millennials and Gen Z. So across the five generations
• 1:01:58
  that are kind of in play right now, this checks
• 1:02:00
  all the boxes that we know about boomers throw
• 1:02:03
  that throw into this that another, an estimated
• 1:02:06
  over 40 % of them haven't even put together a
• 1:02:08
  will yet. So not only do they not intend to like
• 1:02:11
  leave, a lot of them don't intend to leave anything
• 1:02:12
  anyways. Almost half don't have a will? But almost
• 1:02:15
  half of them have not even considered or given
• 1:02:17
  enough thought or care to even put together a
• 1:02:20
  legal document to just help their kids or grandkids
• 1:02:23
  figure out what to do with all whatever shit
• 1:02:25
  they do leave behind. They're not in their 50s
• 1:02:29
  anymore. No, they're not. In fact, the youngest
• 1:02:31
  boomers are 62 this year. Almost half do not
• 1:02:36
  have a will. 1964. is the cutoff. So how's that
• 1:02:43
  for some sobering stats for you? And I could
• 1:02:46
  go on. There's a few other stats, but I don't
• 1:02:48
  want to drag us too... I'll do one more. Then
• 1:02:52
  they broke these boomers into a different strat.
• 1:02:54
  I don't want to drag us down more, but here I
• 1:02:55
  go. But here I go. I can't help it because it's
• 1:02:58
  just like a car crash. You don't want to watch,
• 1:03:00
  but you can't look away. They define wealthy
• 1:03:04
  as a million or more and investible assets here,
• 1:03:07
  according in this poll, this is how they define
• 1:03:08
  it. And then, so they take that strata of boomers,
• 1:03:12
  a million or more in investible assets. And they
• 1:03:14
  say over 45 % of people in that strata, baby
• 1:03:19
  boomers in that strata, intend to keep all of
• 1:03:22
  their money and spend it all in their lifetime.
• 1:03:24
  Yeah. Die with nothing. Yeah. Die with nothing.
• 1:03:28
  Can you imagine Working as hard as we've worked
• 1:03:32
  you and I doing what we've done the sacrifices
• 1:03:34
  we've made and all that kind of shit Just like
• 1:03:36
  just for ourselves just to turn around and be
• 1:03:39
  like that. Fuck you kids. I did all this for
• 1:03:43
  me also Give me those payroll taxes for my Social
• 1:03:47
  Security and for my Medicare. Fuck you and fuck
• 1:03:51
  you again Even though both of those are going
• 1:03:53
  insolvent and all of that money comes straight
• 1:03:56
  out of working people's paychecks the young But
• 1:03:59
  nah, you give me that too. Just simmer on that
• 1:04:06
  for a minute. Oh, die with zero. Not nothing,
• 1:04:08
  zero. Die with zero. So this sobering moment
• 1:04:11
  brought to you by not Pfizer, because otherwise
• 1:04:14
  more of them would be dead already. You know,
• 1:04:18
  like, well, it's our money, man. Do whatever
• 1:04:20
  we want. Yeah, I suppose you can. No, I disagree.
• 1:04:23
  That's not the way you're supposed to look at
• 1:04:25
  it. That's not the way that for 10 ,000 years
• 1:04:26
  of human history, that's not the way people looked
• 1:04:28
  at it. And biblically, that is not the way we
• 1:04:30
  are supposed to be that we are told biblically
• 1:04:33
  that it is a family unit, like that you do things
• 1:04:36
  for the generations after based on the generations
• 1:04:39
  before. The chill, let the children come to me
• 1:04:42
  says Jesus, the children matter. We do this for
• 1:04:45
  them. Like nowhere in the Bible ever does it
• 1:04:47
  say die with zero. No. Well, and I mean, he,
• 1:04:50
  with the most toys wins and I'm a stone cold
• 1:04:52
  capitalist. So I'm all about the accumulation,
• 1:04:54
  not for the sake of the accumulation, but for
• 1:04:56
  the sake of then being able to, uh, instead of
• 1:04:58
  trading my time for money, instead of being,
• 1:05:00
  and then instead of doing that, getting to enjoy
• 1:05:03
  my time with my kids. and my grandkids and sharing
• 1:05:07
  in the whole generational wealth aspect with
• 1:05:11
  them so they can enjoy their time with their
• 1:05:13
  spouses and their kids and we'll all still work
• 1:05:16
  and do what we do because we're productive people
• 1:05:18
  and people have a drive to work naturally but
• 1:05:20
  we're not just straight trading time for money
• 1:05:22
  and we don't have to worry about where the next
• 1:05:24
  meal comes from or whether or not my kids can
• 1:05:27
  afford a house Not even trading time for money
• 1:05:29
  or trading time for ones and zeros, as you pointed
• 1:05:32
  out in the last episode. It's the worst of the
• 1:05:34
  worst of the worst fiat currency because now
• 1:05:38
  it doesn't even have the decency to be like...
• 1:05:41
  real toilet paper style money that you can hold
• 1:05:43
  in your hand. And it is toilet paper, but you
• 1:05:45
  could at least use it for toilet paper or light
• 1:05:47
  it on fire and keep yourself warm for a few minutes.
• 1:05:50
  We can't even do that now. It's all just ones
• 1:05:51
  and zeros. You literally trade your time for
• 1:05:53
  ones and zeros in a, in a thinking machine that
• 1:05:56
  you never see touch, hold, tangibly do anything
• 1:05:59
  with other than just trade it to some other thinking
• 1:06:01
  machine. Thinking machine is a decent show title.
• 1:06:05
  Wild times, man. Yeah, and I I mean lest this
• 1:06:09
  sound like sour grapes I just want to say it
• 1:06:11
  anecdotally like this doesn't apply to me personally
• 1:06:15
  You know I might now it remains to be seen if
• 1:06:18
  my boomer folks are gonna torch it all off to
• 1:06:21
  in -home care at the very end But up till now
• 1:06:23
  It has, no, they've used, it has been like, oh,
• 1:06:26
  let's build generational and I'm not keeping
• 1:06:28
  it all for me. I'm down to help you, my kids.
• 1:06:31
  So it's not, it's not even sour grapes. From
• 1:06:34
  either of us. At least, yeah, from either of
• 1:06:35
  us. Well, you and I both have shared similar
• 1:06:36
  stories, especially between us and our respective
• 1:06:38
  fathers. and then our respective mothers who
• 1:06:41
  supported our fathers as our fathers supported
• 1:06:44
  us in ways where they invested in us and our
• 1:06:48
  businesses and then we repaid them in kind and
• 1:06:51
  we made sure to be the best investments we could
• 1:06:53
  be and return on the investment for our fathers.
• 1:06:57
  Uh, and so both of us, you know, we have similar
• 1:06:59
  stories there. So yeah, no, it's not a, it's
• 1:07:01
  not a bitterness thing or sour grapes. We're
• 1:07:03
  just reporting on it because it's, it's, these
• 1:07:04
  are the patterns. This, this is what's, even
• 1:07:06
  though it isn't true for us, we're not just saying
• 1:07:08
  it because we're bugged by it. We're just saying
• 1:07:10
  it because it's true. It is true. And it is something
• 1:07:12
  that plagues people our age and people our age
• 1:07:15
  who have kids. It is, it affects everybody. It's
• 1:07:18
  relevant. It reverberates it. Um, and it has
• 1:07:22
  all kinds of political and ideological and philosophical
• 1:07:26
  implications going forward. Why are people having
• 1:07:31
  fewer kids than ever in the first world? What's
• 1:07:34
  the number one reason? Fluoride in the water?
• 1:07:37
  And finances. Finances. Everybody, you know,
• 1:07:43
  if you can't afford the basics or you feel like
• 1:07:46
  you can't afford the basics or a house, a house,
• 1:07:49
  which right now is very tough for most people,
• 1:07:52
  you won't have kids. The district says it needs
• 1:07:54
  more money. More yeah, we need there's more kids
• 1:07:58
  equals more money. Well, and I guess I'll end
• 1:08:00
  with this again. It's not it isn't bitterness
• 1:08:02
  or sour grapes But it is unbiblical The way it's
• 1:08:07
  been done and it is intentional. There's a it
• 1:08:09
  is an intentional systemic thing I mean at the
• 1:08:11
  turn of the 20th century Families looked very
• 1:08:15
  different than they do now only a hundred and
• 1:08:17
  some odd years later and that is by design That's
• 1:08:21
  intentional. The first they broke apart the multi
• 1:08:24
  -generational family, which had always been a
• 1:08:25
  thing. Then they attacked the nuclear family,
• 1:08:28
  which had also always been a thing. And now we're
• 1:08:31
  where we are now, where everybody is lonely and
• 1:08:32
  poor. Well, except for boomers, they're lonely
• 1:08:35
  and wealthy. Staring out the window of their
• 1:08:39
  Italian villa at the ocean while they FaceTime
• 1:08:42
  their kids. Yeah, as they live on the island
• 1:08:45
  out there somewhere or they up on the hill or
• 1:08:47
  whatever and their kids are down there trying
• 1:08:49
  to afford rent and they're like, you know, why
• 1:08:51
  don't my kids visit me? Why don't my kids have
• 1:08:53
  kids? Why don't I have grandkids? And they're
• 1:08:55
  staring at their million dollar portfolios and
• 1:08:58
  thinking, gosh, I wish I could earn better percentages
• 1:09:00
  on this. Instead, they could just, I don't know,
• 1:09:02
  take a couple hundred K out, help their kids
• 1:09:04
  with a down payment, bring their kids into the,
• 1:09:07
  you know, be like, Hey, let's do this. I'll help
• 1:09:10
  you with a house. You can start having babies
• 1:09:12
  and let's move closer together. And I don't know,
• 1:09:14
  be a family unit, unit, but yeah, I bring it
• 1:09:17
  all up because it has real world implications
• 1:09:18
  and we're seeing them right now. And what you're
• 1:09:22
  going to have a hard time affording is everything.
• 1:09:26
  You'll owe nothing to be happy about it while
• 1:09:28
  you're munching on your cricket paste. Diesel's
• 1:09:31
  now more than six dollars a gallon in Idaho.
• 1:09:33
  That's 740 in Spokane. And the price of diesel
• 1:09:35
  is driving up other costs. Oh, check this out.
• 1:09:38
  I was just down in Smalley over the weekend at
• 1:09:41
  the Art Dealing Brothers at an opening in his
• 1:09:43
  gallery. How much was it down there? $9 .99 for
• 1:09:47
  diesel. And the thing is, if for all I know,
• 1:09:50
  it could be more. The marquee doesn't go any
• 1:09:52
  higher. It's three spaces for the digital marquee.
• 1:09:56
  It doesn't go any higher. What are they going
• 1:10:00
  to do? Well, what they do is they swap out the
• 1:10:02
  numbers for letters and put A -R -M. or MP, like
• 1:10:08
  when you look at lobster at a fancy restaurant.
• 1:10:10
  If you have to ask, you can't afford it. If you
• 1:10:12
  have to ask, you can't afford it. According to
• 1:10:13
  our news partners. Can I buy a quarter of a gallon?
• 1:10:17
  Yeah, actually, we're doing that now, sir. Yes,
• 1:10:18
  yes, you may. You could buy a quarter of a gallon.
• 1:10:20
  That's awesome. So you can get about halfway
• 1:10:22
  down La Brea toward Melrose and then you're going
• 1:10:25
  to have to turn right back around and fill up.
• 1:10:26
  It's 740 in Spokane. I was just in Spokane Valley
• 1:10:29
  this morning. Dude, I don't know. I couldn't
• 1:10:31
  believe it. I've never seen it that high ever
• 1:10:33
  in my lifetime. I don't know if it's just a,
• 1:10:35
  it was a, I don't know a glitch or what, but
• 1:10:39
  the new Walmart gas station at state line is,
• 1:10:43
  which is on the Idaho side. You know, they just
• 1:10:45
  opened up a huge gas station there at that Walmart
• 1:10:48
  next to the Maverick and the nom nom. There's
• 1:10:50
  three of them right in between. Yep. Now the
• 1:10:52
  meat of that gas sandwich had the marquee at
• 1:10:54
  $8 and something. So it was eight something for
• 1:10:58
  fuel. Well, you know, you know, the market they're
• 1:11:00
  hitting is the Washingtonian market. that values
• 1:11:04
  the convenience as they go back and forth from
• 1:11:06
  Spokane in and out. They must. Because Idaho
• 1:11:08
  people aren't going to pay that. Like any of
• 1:11:09
  us who live here, we're not paying that. We'll
• 1:11:11
  just go three miles further inland. I'll ride
• 1:11:14
  my electric scooter, man. Are you kidding? According
• 1:11:17
  to our news partners in the Coeur d 'Alene press,
• 1:11:19
  the average Idaho household has already paid
• 1:11:21
  an additional $3 ,300 or more for goods and services.
• 1:11:26
  Hey, $3 ,300? That's how much the city of Post
• 1:11:28
  Falls steals from us every year. Damn, take that
• 1:11:32
  post falls. According to our news partners in
• 1:11:34
  the Coeur d 'Alene press, the average Idaho household
• 1:11:36
  has already paid an additional $3 ,300 or more
• 1:11:40
  for goods and services due to rising costs. As
• 1:11:43
  a result, some families have been forced to cut
• 1:11:46
  down on necessities like groceries. And this
• 1:11:48
  is the first time ever that diesel prices have
• 1:11:51
  gone over that $6 market gallon, the rising cost.
• 1:11:54
  Breaking news at five, what you don't know about
• 1:11:56
  not eating could kill you. What should we cut?
• 1:12:00
  Um, I don't know food costs are hitting snow
• 1:12:02
  gates, duh cause are hitting farmers. Sorry kids
• 1:12:05
  We can't pay the bills this month. So uh, no
• 1:12:07
  snow gates for you Well, who cares if there's
• 1:12:09
  a berm we can't go to the grocery store anyway,
• 1:12:12
  and we can't afford gas Thanks for saving me
• 1:12:13
  the money. I can't get out of my driveway I can't
• 1:12:16
  I don't have to pay for gas that I can't afford
• 1:12:17
  fuel tanks groceries that I can't afford. This
• 1:12:19
  is great No, this all works out. The car is a
• 1:12:21
  paperweight, dude. The fuel tank's empty But
• 1:12:23
  hey, the good news is the city of Post Falls
• 1:12:25
  got theirs Cause are hitting farmers, especially
• 1:12:28
  yard diesel fuel powers, trucks, trains, tractors,
• 1:12:31
  ships and construction vehicles. All the things
• 1:12:34
  that bring us stuff. Yeah. To pay more to ship
• 1:12:36
  goods. Well, then consumers pay the price. This
• 1:12:40
  is a farm crisis. And, uh, you know, I'm out
• 1:12:42
  here picking corn, you know, $5 a bushel and
• 1:12:46
  paying nearly $7 a gallon for This is a real
• 1:12:49
  guy. He was a part of this segment and he was
• 1:12:52
  a, I guess he was part of Idaho Ag. Agriculture
• 1:12:54
  is king in Idaho. But I love him so very deeply.
• 1:13:00
  Listen to his athlete. I really wish they'd use
• 1:13:01
  so good. On the sheep and banjo segment as well.
• 1:13:05
  That would have been just Ketchum Idaho remembers.
• 1:13:10
  Next up on NPR, it's the corn picking hour. This
• 1:13:13
  is a farm crisis. And you know, I'm out here
• 1:13:16
  picking corn, you know, $5 a bushel. and paying
• 1:13:19
  nearly $7 a gallon for diesel fuel. Last year,
• 1:13:24
  the number of US farms dropped by 15 ,000. This
• 1:13:27
  is according to the US Department of Agriculture.
• 1:13:30
  And if diesel prices continue to rise, many workers,
• 1:13:33
  or many worry rather, more farmers may have to
• 1:13:35
  shut down because of the financial strain. So
• 1:13:39
  that's where we're heading. But we never ever,
• 1:13:42
  of course, will mention the fact that if the
• 1:13:43
  government stopped taxing fuel as hard as it
• 1:13:47
  does, it might help. It might help. Just throw
• 1:13:50
  that out there. You know, the extra three dollars
• 1:13:53
  a gallon that Washington State slaps on their
• 1:13:55
  fuel, it just, it might make a difference. No,
• 1:13:58
  no. Call me crazy. You don't cut anything, dude.
• 1:13:59
  I mean, these cuts are killing people. You don't
• 1:14:02
  want to cut, are you kidding me? You look like
• 1:14:05
  people dying. Is that it? I love it when people
• 1:14:07
  can't afford food because they have to give the
• 1:14:09
  government more money. Yeah, that's nothing.
• 1:14:11
  Nothing is as compassionate as taking money from
• 1:14:14
  the peasants while telling them that if you don't
• 1:14:16
  take the money from them, they will starve. I
• 1:14:19
  like your taxes. Uh, but wait a minute, uh, Lori
• 1:14:22
  Wolf who works with governor pervert on the budget.
• 1:14:24
  I object to that. Maybe this isn't the state
• 1:14:26
  for you. Oh, okay. Guess I can't live here. So
• 1:14:29
  if we don't like it, just leave. No, fuck you.
• 1:14:32
  I'm not the one who sucks. You leave. One of
• 1:14:35
  the best lines from office space. He's the one
• 1:14:36
  who sucks. Yeah. We need some show or an AI art
• 1:14:40
  for this one too. Where like the, the night,
• 1:14:43
  the night's on horseback as they're extracting
• 1:14:45
  from the peasants and go, if we don't take this
• 1:14:49
  from you. you'll starve to death. People eat
• 1:14:52
  by this though. That's what's so crazy about
• 1:14:53
  this is like we let people listen to this and
• 1:14:55
  they just go, Oh man. Well, and people on the
• 1:14:58
  left will be like, it's all Trump's fault. A
• 1:15:00
  lot of it is, but, and his people. And then people
• 1:15:03
  on the right are like, Oh, it is fucking Biden.
• 1:15:05
  We're still dealing with Biden. And meanwhile,
• 1:15:08
  us who break this stuff down are just like, this
• 1:15:11
  is at every level, everybody in charge. And worst
• 1:15:14
  of all, the peasants themselves who go for this.
• 1:15:17
  It's, it's Reagan's fault. Oh, we're still dealing
• 1:15:19
  with Carter. I mean, just pick a fricking time
• 1:15:22
  window. Yup. Yup. God. The, the, the car, it's
• 1:15:26
  a carousel, man. It never stops. Just you get
• 1:15:28
  on and you can't get off. I believe I came in
• 1:15:31
  episode 11, 13 was of this show was cartel carousel.
• 1:15:36
  Yup. Goes round and round it goes. Okay. Here
• 1:15:39
  is This is real charming as long as we're on
• 1:15:45
  public schools. A new tort claim filed against
• 1:15:47
  the Lewiston School District alleges a district
• 1:15:49
  coach made sexual abuse material of students.
• 1:15:53
  Idaho Ed News reports the claim filed August
• 1:15:55
  18th, names 19 -year -old Ty Lewis, an assistant
• 1:15:59
  football coach at Lewiston High School, and alleges
• 1:16:01
  the district was negligent when it hired and
• 1:16:03
  retained him at the school. Lewis is currently
• 1:16:06
  like in high school himself. I was going to say
• 1:16:07
  19. He graduates in the half a semester. And
• 1:16:11
  then they're like, maybe they graduated him as
• 1:16:15
  a formality because he wasn't actually going
• 1:16:16
  to graduate. So they graduate him and then they
• 1:16:18
  turn around and they hire him. We can't hold
• 1:16:20
  you back a third consecutive year. So why don't
• 1:16:22
  you just walk here? We'll give you your gown.
• 1:16:24
  We'll give you your rolled up paper. And now
• 1:16:26
  why don't you just turn right back around and
• 1:16:27
  join the faculty. His name's Tyrell. What was
• 1:16:31
  it? Ty Lewis? What are the odds he's a basketball
• 1:16:40
  American? What makes you think that? Well, I
• 1:16:45
  don't know. The fact that he's 19, coaching football,
• 1:16:48
  comes right out of the pipeline and right back
• 1:16:50
  into the pipeline. I don't know. I could be totally
• 1:16:51
  wrong. Oh, you're going to look him up. Yeah.
• 1:16:53
  Oh boy. Great. Ty Lewis and Lewiston football
• 1:16:57
  images. That's a lady He's definitely oh, that's
• 1:17:04
  not a lady no what okay wait a minute if that's
• 1:17:08
  describe him Exactly what you would expect, but
• 1:17:12
  if it was a creepy dude who keeps bad stuff on
• 1:17:14
  his hard drive in the basement And he likes Minecraft
• 1:17:18
  pimply -faced Heavily like morbidly obese dude
• 1:17:23
  long straight hair thinning like dirty blonde
• 1:17:27
  hair, but it looks greasy. The kind of dark circles
• 1:17:30
  under your eyes that say I watch computer screens
• 1:17:32
  12 hours a day. Yeah. No way. How does that guy
• 1:17:36
  get a job as an assistant football coach? Also,
• 1:17:39
  he is totally a baseball American. So I'm wrong.
• 1:17:44
  Way wrong. Like that is not at all who I envisioned.
• 1:17:47
  Like that's if you told me that it was somebody
• 1:17:50
  who they found like parts of such and such or
• 1:17:53
  so and so in the freezer. Yeah, that's what it
• 1:17:55
  looks like. So it's not Tyrone, it's like Tyler
• 1:17:58
  Tyson or something. Tyson meets. Tyson meets.
• 1:18:02
  Lewis is currently in Nez Perce County Jail facing
• 1:18:04
  multiple felony counts of sexual abuse and sexual
• 1:18:07
  exploitation. He has not entered a plea. He is
• 1:18:10
  next due in court September 29th. Lewiston School
• 1:18:13
  District Superintendent Tim Sperber told Ed News,
• 1:18:16
  the school district will quote, vigorously defend
• 1:18:18
  itself against these claims. It will vigorously
• 1:18:21
  defend itself. So, and of course it's a tort
• 1:18:22
  claim. which simply means, hey, we want money
• 1:18:26
  for this transgression we are saying happened.
• 1:18:29
  And either they're going to vigorously defend
• 1:18:31
  themselves with attorneys. And guess who's going
• 1:18:33
  to pay for those? Us. Or they are. Well, they'll
• 1:18:36
  do that either way. And then they'll either just
• 1:18:39
  have the legal bills from the tort claim or they'll
• 1:18:42
  settle. And guess who's going to pay for that?
• 1:18:44
  Us. Either way, we lose. It's a it's a game.
• 1:18:47
  Oh, you know what? That's a game we should make
• 1:18:49
  up. It's like we lose. That's the only, there's
• 1:18:53
  just one outcome. There's one outcome. Yeah.
• 1:18:54
  Yeah. There are many choices, but there aren't
• 1:18:57
  cause it's a monopoly and either way we lose.
• 1:19:00
  I'm writing this down for show out a board game
• 1:19:02
  where all options are losing options. And there
• 1:19:05
  are only one, there's only one option. So that's
• 1:19:11
  fun. It's so weird to me. People are always so
• 1:19:13
  afraid of monopoly .com, but they just fall in
• 1:19:15
  love with monopoly .gov. I don't get it. Oh.
• 1:19:19
  But without them, companies would have a monopoly.
• 1:19:22
  And there'd be no outdoors. And who would hire
• 1:19:25
  the sexualizing troglodytes for the football
• 1:19:28
  team in Lewis and Clark High School? So you like
• 1:19:31
  potholes, is that it? That's it. How'd you know?
• 1:19:34
  Wow, that actually I would not have guessed if
• 1:19:37
  that truly is the guy. So the internet says it.
• 1:19:41
  Boy, was I wrong. All right, now I'm batting
• 1:19:43
  650 instead of 700. My percentages went way down
• 1:19:46
  there. So I have, I shared this, this was a conversation
• 1:19:50
  before the show went live. I was saying that
• 1:19:52
  there was a, because what you just said reminded
• 1:19:55
  me of the monopoly .conversa .gov. You've mentioned
• 1:19:58
  before that when people watch movies or TV series,
• 1:20:02
  they They root for the underdog, they root for
• 1:20:04
  the person going against the state or the system,
• 1:20:06
  whatever. But then they turn the TV off and in
• 1:20:10
  real life, they vote for the system. And anyone
• 1:20:12
  who questions the system, they just, they angrily
• 1:20:14
  take to their keyboards to ask them why they
• 1:20:16
  like potholes. They must be punished. Those recalcitrant
• 1:20:20
  rebels must be punished. Yeah, anything. Divergent
• 1:20:23
  series, Hunger Games series, Star Wars. We could
• 1:20:27
  go on and on and on and on and on and in every
• 1:20:30
  single one of them if you look at the markers
• 1:20:32
  for the government and you look at the markers
• 1:20:36
  for the rebels and and Cross -reference them
• 1:20:39
  with real life. It's the same except for whatever
• 1:20:43
  reason the moment people turn off the TV. They're
• 1:20:45
  like I must have my property taxes taken from
• 1:20:48
  me. I simply must. Nothing that I enjoy in life
• 1:20:51
  would exist if I wasn't stolen from. We root
• 1:20:53
  for the rebels in a new hope and then they blow
• 1:20:55
  up the Death Star and we're like, yes, the galaxy
• 1:20:57
  is saved. But in real life, when I tell somebody
• 1:21:00
  I'd like to use a drone to crash into the county
• 1:21:04
  data center to wipe all of our debts and all
• 1:21:06
  of our property taxes, then somebody goes, well,
• 1:21:08
  that sounds like domestic terrorism. You're the
• 1:21:10
  bad guy. What are you talking about? No, they
• 1:21:13
  are the Imperials. They're the Death Star. They're
• 1:21:16
  the ones stealing from us. And if I don't comply,
• 1:21:19
  they kill you. I thought we were voting for the
• 1:21:21
  underdogs. So I mentioned this to you before
• 1:21:24
  the show started, that when I was down in LA,
• 1:21:27
  I noticed from the right outside the gallery
• 1:21:29
  on huge billboards there on on the brea next
• 1:21:34
  to each other, you got the one huge billboard
• 1:21:36
  of gun violence is the number one killer of children
• 1:21:41
  in America and it was for some some dot org you
• 1:21:44
  know it's LA the next billboard over is the new
• 1:21:47
  Jason Statham movie where he's like looking around
• 1:21:50
  a corner while holding like a Glock 40 it's a
• 1:21:55
  billboard of a gun holding a gun holding a gun
• 1:21:58
  but in the movies that's okay Here is, as long
• 1:22:04
  as we're on data centers. Speaking of which,
• 1:22:06
  if that billboard actually cared about children,
• 1:22:07
  then they actually would have put, uh, women,
• 1:22:10
  number one killer of children. I mean, dude,
• 1:22:16
  abortions is like however many millions a year,
• 1:22:18
  dude. They don't care about kids. As long as
• 1:22:21
  we're on data centers, here's another one from
• 1:22:23
  the Haganone News Network. Regional power planners
• 1:22:26
  say more energy resources will be needed as data
• 1:22:29
  centers and electricity demand grow across the
• 1:22:32
  Pacific Northwest. The Northwest Power and Conservation
• 1:22:36
  Council expects the region's power system to
• 1:22:39
  grow 50 % to 100 % by 2046. A proposed plan calls
• 1:22:44
  for more energy efficiency savings, renewable
• 1:22:47
  energy, storage, and natural gas resources between
• 1:22:51
  2027 and 2032. During a meeting in Coeur d 'Alene,
• 1:22:56
  public comments raised questions about grid reliability,
• 1:23:00
  climate impacts, and the future of renewable
• 1:23:03
  energy. Full story at Hagadon. Right, so yeah,
• 1:23:07
  during the public comment at the Coeur d 'Alene
• 1:23:08
  City Council meeting where Mayor Gooke was heard
• 1:23:11
  saying, shut up. Do not interrupt me. You weren't
• 1:23:15
  even talking, Mr. Mayor, it was in the middle
• 1:23:17
  of the public comment. They were actually, they
• 1:23:18
  were talking about hydropower, and that's what
• 1:23:20
  Gukan was like, why are you pissing on me? And
• 1:23:23
  calling it hydropower. Why are you pissing on
• 1:23:27
  me? I have so many of them, it took me a minute.
• 1:23:31
  When your sound bank for Gukan drops is so rich,
• 1:23:35
  it takes too long to find the sound bot, the
• 1:23:37
  sound drop. I love it. I am tired of this shit.
• 1:23:39
  Yeah, well, us too. So that fun little do dab
• 1:23:45
  boppy report there basically said nothing other
• 1:23:47
  than hey y 'all the area is growing and we project
• 1:23:52
  that we're gonna need more power so some people
• 1:23:55
  got together and talked about it more at hagano
• 1:23:58
  news network .com that's what it said yep the
• 1:24:02
  more you know yeah well there is a lot of i mean
• 1:24:05
  it's climate change that's the most important
• 1:24:07
  part in that they talked about that too we got
• 1:24:08
  to be careful you know And this is, I have to
• 1:24:12
  wonder if all the, the ALPRs and the data centers,
• 1:24:16
  the algo is hammering everyone. Data centers
• 1:24:18
  and ALPRs, hammering everyone. Data centers bad,
• 1:24:21
  flock bad. So what is this up? What is this as
• 1:24:25
  part of the whole 2030 agenda, the 15 minute
• 1:24:27
  smart city, whatever the you'll own nothing and
• 1:24:29
  be happy thing is, build back better. Flock bad
• 1:24:33
  and data centers bad. Why are they hammering
• 1:24:35
  those things? Yeah, but regular ALPRs, good.
• 1:24:41
  Axon. Okay. Motorola. Okay. We don't care. Right.
• 1:24:44
  It's weird. Do those ones get missed or, or like
• 1:24:47
  with our, our buddy Luca, you know, who sits
• 1:24:50
  in that camp where he's council councilman Luca
• 1:24:54
  post falls and he's a friend. I like him. He's
• 1:24:56
  a good dude, but he, I don't know how you square
• 1:24:59
  this up where he's touting from the rooftops
• 1:25:02
  post falls, flock free since forever. And I'm
• 1:25:05
  like, I can't help myself. So I have to respond.
• 1:25:07
  I'm like, yeah, that's great. But you still use
• 1:25:09
  the license plate readers and they're Motorola.
• 1:25:12
  So, and then his response is, yeah, but they
• 1:25:14
  don't do the same thing as flock. Right. And
• 1:25:15
  I go, yeah, but they still, they still read my
• 1:25:18
  license plate. When I go places, it's surveillance
• 1:25:20
  and I don't want to be surveilled. You're not
• 1:25:22
  any better. That's a good thing. It's the classic
• 1:25:25
  shades of the stages of grief, the state version
• 1:25:29
  of it. We're like, oh, we don't do that. Well,
• 1:25:30
  we do do that, but it's good. Well, it's a classic
• 1:25:32
  conservative thing is really what it is where
• 1:25:34
  it's like, well, when my team's in charge, it's
• 1:25:37
  OK. Or, yeah, I'm not a big fan of government
• 1:25:40
  except for when I am a big fan of government
• 1:25:43
  because it's the government I like, or it's the
• 1:25:45
  right amount of government run by the correct
• 1:25:48
  people, at least for now. Yeah, but I don't want
• 1:25:52
  to be surveilled. Yeah, but it's okay because
• 1:25:54
  it's the right kind of surveillance. Do you like
• 1:25:58
  crime? Well, okay. Well, here is what Post Falls
• 1:26:05
  might be doing, or at least partly, with the
• 1:26:08
  surveillance apparatus. Over in Idaho, the Post
• 1:26:10
  Falls Police Department arrested 15 people since
• 1:26:12
  they started working with the 287G ICE program
• 1:26:15
  two months ago, becoming the first city in Idaho
• 1:26:17
  to do so. Now, we did last show, we did the ice
• 1:26:22
  rated dude siding company in Post Falls and deported
• 1:26:25
  a couple back to Honduras. And this is the more
• 1:26:29
  I guess. like the monthly jobs report for how
• 1:26:32
  many deportations were made? ICE agents accompanied
• 1:26:34
  some patrol officers during the program's training
• 1:26:37
  period between August 24th and the 28th. During
• 1:26:40
  just that four -day period, 13 people were arrested
• 1:26:42
  for allegedly violating federal immigration law,
• 1:26:45
  with two more arrested in the weeks following.
• 1:26:48
  The police say officers found evidence either
• 1:26:50
  by admission or in available records that there
• 1:26:52
  were immigration violations taking place. The
• 1:26:55
  Post Falls Police Department says they do not
• 1:26:57
  anticipate that number of arrests to be typical.
• 1:26:59
  for future operations. So don't worry. We're
• 1:27:01
  just using the surveillance apparatus to deport
• 1:27:04
  illegals. That's all. That's all it's being used
• 1:27:06
  for. Yeah, yeah. As usual, we're not coming for
• 1:27:08
  you. No, no. So don't worry about it. No, no,
• 1:27:10
  no. It's not a problem. We'll give you that idea.
• 1:27:12
  You know, it's that tax we just put in place.
• 1:27:15
  It's only for the top 10 percent. It's not for
• 1:27:17
  the rest of you. Don't worry about it. Well,
• 1:27:21
  here's another. thing that your taxes are going
• 1:27:25
  to pay for no matter what happens. More schools
• 1:27:27
  needing more money for, I guess, more payouts.
• 1:27:29
  Boise School District will pay $34 ,000 to a
• 1:27:32
  former female student who says she encountered
• 1:27:34
  a transgender girl in the women's bathroom. I
• 1:27:37
  thought it was really interesting that they just
• 1:27:39
  said former female student. Like she was formally
• 1:27:42
  a female. Wouldn't you say... Female is a social
• 1:27:45
  construct, I thought. I don't know why they're,
• 1:27:47
  yeah, they're assuming her gender. I'm not really
• 1:27:49
  sure why. But wouldn't you say a female former
• 1:27:51
  student? Not a former female student? Poissy
• 1:27:54
  School District will pay $34 ,000 to a former
• 1:27:57
  female student. She used to be a female. Well,
• 1:27:59
  I'll tell you what happened when she saw that
• 1:28:01
  other trans person in the bathroom. She was like,
• 1:28:03
  I got to get in on this. And so she's trans now
• 1:28:05
  too, but upset about it. So she's suing. Maybe
• 1:28:08
  that's it. Seeing this trans made me trans. Well,
• 1:28:11
  they just, they looked so happy and well adjusted.
• 1:28:13
  I just had to be part of whatever that person
• 1:28:14
  was involved in. So happy and well adjusted.
• 1:28:17
  Yeah. Look, you look just like that assistant
• 1:28:18
  coach from the football team. Boise School District
• 1:28:21
  will pay $34 ,000 to a former female student
• 1:28:24
  who says she encountered a transgender girl in
• 1:28:27
  the women's bathroom. James Dawson has more on
• 1:28:29
  the lawsuit she filed last year. The girl who
• 1:28:32
  was 15 years old at the time sued the school
• 1:28:34
  district after she said she heard deep grunting
• 1:28:37
  coming from a stall in the girls bathroom at
• 1:28:39
  Boise High School in 2025. The Idaho Family Policy
• 1:28:43
  Center, which wrote Idaho's law banning transgender
• 1:28:46
  people from using school restrooms that align
• 1:28:48
  with their gender identity, took the girl's case
• 1:28:51
  to court. Boise School District's decision to
• 1:28:54
  settle came after an Ada County judge rejected
• 1:28:56
  its motion to dismiss the lawsuit in late July.
• 1:29:00
  Federal courts had temporarily halted Idaho's
• 1:29:02
  law from being enforced when the girl had her
• 1:29:04
  bathroom encounter, though it's now in full effect.
• 1:29:07
  Caleb Pierce, the director of the Idaho Family
• 1:29:09
  Policy Center's legal arm, said in a statement,
• 1:29:12
  quote, We will hold accountable any school district
• 1:29:15
  that chooses to violate the law, and we will
• 1:29:17
  continue to champion the safety, privacy and
• 1:29:20
  dignity of students across Idaho. I definitely
• 1:29:22
  wrote down bathroom encounters. I was going to
• 1:29:24
  ask you to do it. Yeah, man. Where's Larry Craig
• 1:29:26
  when we need him? Who's that carrying on the
• 1:29:29
  tradition of bathroom encounters? Larry Craig
• 1:29:32
  used to be a senator, a national senator from
• 1:29:34
  Idaho. And the thing that ended his career was
• 1:29:37
  he got caught toe -tapping other dudes in the
• 1:29:40
  airport bathroom. I've seen people in every way
• 1:29:44
  shape or form all over the world going to the
• 1:29:46
  bathroom. Was he was he very vocally anti -gay
• 1:29:49
  too probably? He was considered a yeah your typical
• 1:29:54
  conservative Christian yada yada yada. He was
• 1:29:56
  an establishmentarian kind of candidate. Like
• 1:29:59
  Senator Jim Risch or Crapo, you know, Mike Crapo,
• 1:30:03
  those just old as fuck and you can never vote
• 1:30:06
  them out. And they're basically white, old stodgy
• 1:30:08
  Mormon dudes who are, you know, quote unquote,
• 1:30:11
  I'm the conservative that votes for Idaho. And
• 1:30:14
  then and then ban, ban, ban Kratom. And yeah,
• 1:30:17
  you know, just establishmentarian. Yeah. Deep
• 1:30:20
  grunting coming from a stall in the girls. Grunting.
• 1:30:24
  OK. Really had to work something out in there.
• 1:30:28
  Who does number two work for? Deep grunting.
• 1:30:33
  All right, a couple more for this week, we're
• 1:30:35
  almost there. Somebody goes, I have to go powder
• 1:30:38
  my nose. Let's see, we've done most of them.
• 1:30:44
  I think I have one more. Oh, here, we'll close
• 1:30:47
  out with this one. I was alluding to it earlier,
• 1:30:50
  but I never actually got to it. Your daughter
• 1:30:53
  having the... A job swept out from under her
• 1:30:56
  feet and the owner of the coffee shop. Yeah,
• 1:30:59
  so here is another version of it. This these
• 1:31:01
  things are always happening. Here's one that
• 1:31:03
  KTVB reported on new tonight. What started off
• 1:31:06
  as a simple teaching opportunity turned into
• 1:31:08
  a call for help after a Meridian woman's roadside
• 1:31:12
  snack stand was shut down for violating city
• 1:31:16
  code. Cooper Morgan joins us now. Good. You spoke
• 1:31:19
  with this woman. What's the issue here? Food
• 1:31:21
  safety, Justin? No, she says. Meridian code enforcement
• 1:31:24
  told her the problem was traffic and zoning,
• 1:31:27
  that her little roadside stand was getting too
• 1:31:29
  popular and too professional for the neighborhood
• 1:31:31
  to apply. But she argues that shouldn't matter
• 1:31:34
  because earlier this year, the Idaho legislature
• 1:31:36
  passed a direct -to -consumer law that she believes
• 1:31:41
  protects what she was doing. I just love the
• 1:31:43
  fact that she was, what was the problem? Was
• 1:31:46
  it food safety? No, it was that she was too successful.
• 1:31:49
  Too popular. It's not an American flag hung on
• 1:31:52
  this home. It's something a little more Northwest.
• 1:31:56
  We left Bigfoot. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.
• 1:32:01
  That's this is the woman and she might be a little
• 1:32:03
  nervous because she's getting interviewed by
• 1:32:05
  a watchdog journalist. We left Bigfoot. I grew
• 1:32:10
  up in the Pacific Northwest. It's a big thing.
• 1:32:13
  Before Melissa or she's had to roll part of that
• 1:32:15
  lovable creature away and hide it. I was in tears.
• 1:32:19
  The children were in tears. Bigfoot's hiding.
• 1:32:21
  What do we do? I've never been put in this position.
• 1:32:25
  The carts once held Bigfoot's munchies, cookies,
• 1:32:28
  popcorn, and snacks. She says neighbors loved
• 1:32:30
  it. Even the HOA president stopped by, wished
• 1:32:33
  her luck, and bought treats. That's actually
• 1:32:35
  something. When the HOA gives you the green light,
• 1:32:39
  what HOA is she in? That never happens. Wow.
• 1:32:43
  That's actually the most shocking part of this
• 1:32:45
  story. till the point that I got a notification
• 1:32:49
  from my landlord that code enforcement contacted
• 1:32:53
  him and said that I could no longer have the
• 1:32:57
  carts out in front of the house nor continue
• 1:33:00
  baking at this time or insist she did her homework.
• 1:33:04
  She points to the direct to Consumer Act passed
• 1:33:06
  by the Idaho Legislature in 2026, which allows
• 1:33:10
  homemade food from home kitchens and these homes
• 1:33:13
  under certain labeling rules. She says she was
• 1:33:16
  following them, even adding insurance she wasn't
• 1:33:19
  required to carry. For a landlord to be able
• 1:33:21
  to tell me I broke a lease, anything like that,
• 1:33:24
  I would have never done it without permission.
• 1:33:26
  Meridian City Code enforcement, she says, saw
• 1:33:29
  it differently, pointing to traffic and how it
• 1:33:31
  all looked. Too professional, too popular. It's
• 1:33:34
  going to get bigger than what the neighborhood
• 1:33:35
  can handle as far as traffic. It wasn't just
• 1:33:37
  about money. Part of every popcorn. Everything
• 1:33:40
  is for them to say. Do you know what a bureaucrat's
• 1:33:43
  worst nightmare is, Scott? That somebody somewhere
• 1:33:47
  is doing something without permission and you
• 1:33:49
  even heard her a minute ago like I wouldn't have
• 1:33:51
  done this without permission and yet still I
• 1:33:53
  Never would have done something creative and
• 1:33:55
  cool and productive if I if I'd known that I
• 1:33:57
  couldn't that I wasn't allowed and the government
• 1:33:58
  Wouldn't let me can I please I would have just
• 1:34:01
  stayed in my box Please done nothing please part
• 1:34:05
  of every popcorn sale went to charity popcorn
• 1:34:07
  with a purpose for the item humane society as
• 1:34:10
  well as started baking my own corn Kitchen to
• 1:34:17
  help with teaching my home school kids What it's
• 1:34:21
  like to kind of? Hate her and she was oh my god.
• 1:34:27
  This is is this not this is the most American
• 1:34:29
  thing I've heard all day homeschooling family
• 1:34:33
  teaching life lessons to their kids about Capitalism
• 1:34:36
  and free market and ethics and work and drive
• 1:34:39
  and marketing. I mean, all the different awesome
• 1:34:41
  things that used to be America only to be snookered
• 1:34:45
  and shut down by America, by the government.
• 1:34:49
  If that's not peak 2026 America, Scott, I don't
• 1:34:52
  know what is. And you definitely taught your
• 1:34:54
  kids valuable lessons. Unfortunately, they learned
• 1:34:57
  other lessons than you set out to teach them,
• 1:35:00
  which was don't bother kids. The government will
• 1:35:03
  stop you. The state. Yeah, that's the lesson.
• 1:35:07
  What was the point? Yeah. Hey, do you want to
• 1:35:10
  be an entrepreneur? Get fucked. Well, if they
• 1:35:13
  or do it, you can't do anything without permission
• 1:35:16
  at the very least. If they just would have followed
• 1:35:17
  the rules, they were trying to even do that.
• 1:35:21
  What it's like to kind of start your own little
• 1:35:24
  operation. Now she says it's become a lesson
• 1:35:26
  in government and tells her three boys, Tristan,
• 1:35:30
  Leland and Colton, and that you don't give up
• 1:35:32
  on something you believe in. You just don't.
• 1:35:35
  They fight. Now, we reached out to the City of
• 1:35:37
  Meridian for more details, but since it's an
• 1:35:39
  ongoing case, they can't talk about it. It's
• 1:35:42
  an ongoing investigation and we can't talk about
• 1:35:44
  it. And oh, by the way, don't worry, we'll investigate
• 1:35:46
  ourselves and find we've done nothing wrong.
• 1:35:48
  And but before we do any of that, we're going
• 1:35:49
  to vote ourselves raises and install more ALPRs.
• 1:35:52
  Now we reached out to the city of Meridian for
• 1:35:54
  more details, but since it's an ongoing case,
• 1:35:56
  they can't talk about the specifics in this instance.
• 1:35:59
  The city spokesperson did tell us, though, that
• 1:36:02
  Orton needs a home occupancy permit first and
• 1:36:04
  that they are reviewing with the legal team to
• 1:36:06
  make sure their code is in compliance with that
• 1:36:08
  new law. Need a permission slip first. Confusing
• 1:36:11
  little situation between that. It's not confusing.
• 1:36:13
  But she's claiming. Yeah. And as you said, Cooper,
• 1:36:16
  brand new law. So. they need to align their code
• 1:36:18
  or make sure it's already aligned with that law.
• 1:36:21
  Thank you. Or just or just shut up and go away
• 1:36:24
  and leave people alone. Dream on, dude. When
• 1:36:27
  you have the neighborhood. What world do you
• 1:36:29
  live in? I know. There's the signpost up ahead.
• 1:36:34
  I did like this. This lady's laugh. They are
• 1:36:38
  Sasquatch lady. Yeah. Soundboard material. But
• 1:36:47
  I'm rooting for her. Of course. So hard. I hope
• 1:36:50
  she fights it. I mean, even the HOA green -lit
• 1:36:53
  it. I'm still... That is mind blowing. It is
• 1:36:56
  mind blowing. That's the part I still... Everything
• 1:36:58
  else about this is totally formulaic. It all
• 1:37:00
  makes sense. Yeah, but the part where she's like,
• 1:37:02
  even the HOA wished us the best of luck. I'm
• 1:37:04
  like, what? He came by, you know, as he was using
• 1:37:08
  his walker and the tennis balls on the bottom
• 1:37:10
  were dragging against the sidewalk and he bought
• 1:37:12
  our goods. He said, good luck. Yeah. Huh. Wow.
• 1:37:17
  Talk about the Twilight Zone. Yeah. The HOA approved.
• 1:37:23
  Let's do one, what time is it? 1 .47. Do I have
• 1:37:27
  one short one? Dude, we still got, we still got
• 1:37:30

• 1:37:34
  probably it. I might've missed one, but whatever.
