• 0:27
  ID, Idaho's mainstream media deconstruction of
• 0:31
  Scott. Hello Internet, I'm Paul. Welcome back.
• 0:37
  The rain just stopped. It's been raining two
• 0:40
  days straight up here. And the rain has stopped
• 0:43
  and it is beautiful. Everything is green. It
• 0:45
  smells like rain. I love it. Was it raining like
• 0:48
  that down there? Yes, and the Spokane Riverkeeper
• 0:52
  was seen folding up there easy up and heading
• 0:55
  for home. Nothing to see here, citizens. There's
• 1:01
  water again. But that doesn't mean that things
• 1:05
  are better, it just means things haven't gotten
• 1:07
  worse. We have a follow up on that. That I'll
• 1:11
  play momentarily I do have to say before we get
• 1:14
  started on that a clip from for news now and
• 1:17
  a follow -up from a producer who's been staying
• 1:19
  on top of the Spokane River keeper for us because
• 1:22
  they drive this producer drives by on their commute
• 1:26
  and has seen their presence and they're easy
• 1:28
  up and they're I suppose they're fundraising
• 1:30
  efforts and whatever it is they're doing down
• 1:32
  there on the shores of the dry as a bone Spokane
• 1:36
  River, but before we do that, I have to say that
• 1:38
  I I'm I didn't realize that hello internet was
• 1:42
  something that this is something of a catchphrase
• 1:44
  of yours that way predates this show. I feel
• 1:48
  a little silly that I had never discovered any
• 1:50
  of the racketeers social media pages. This is
• 1:53
  Paul's establishment, the cigar lounge in Post
• 1:55
  Falls. And there's all sorts of amazing stuff
• 1:58
  where you are addressing the internet. Most interestingly,
• 2:02
  absent tutorials. And I'm wondering why you and
• 2:04
  I have never shared absent. You never asked.
• 2:08
  But we have an awesome absinthe fountain at the
• 2:12
  lounge. In fact, it was one of the first things
• 2:14
  I had at the lounge when we opened up. We had
• 2:16
  it. We got it from Germany. It's a it's a European
• 2:19
  made. It sent me back like 300 bones, man. It's
• 2:22
  cool. It's an old school absinthe fountain specifically
• 2:25
  for enjoying absinthe the proper way. It's awesome.
• 2:30
  The Germans craft high quality items. Once in
• 2:33
  a while, they're known for doing that, or at
• 2:35
  least they used to be. Yeah, when I am able to
• 2:38
  imbibe again, we will do the Absinthe Fountain.
• 2:42
  I look forward to that. Is it still there? We
• 2:43
  did all kinds of stuff on social media, man.
• 2:45
  We had a TikTok channel. We had YouTube shorts.
• 2:48
  Of course, we were all over Facebook and Instagram.
• 2:51
  We did it all. Still do, I think. I'm not sure
• 2:54
  what they're... I mean, I don't own it anymore,
• 2:55
  so I'm not sure what exactly all they're up to.
• 2:58
  I see some of the stuff on Facebook. We did some
• 3:01
  pretty baller stuff for a few years. And yeah,
• 3:04
  hello, internet. That's my thing. It always has
• 3:06
  been. Actually, a lot of our stuff was a ton
• 3:09
  of fun to make. We did a lot of creative stuff
• 3:12
  on social media, but a lot of people didn't know
• 3:14
  because we got shadow banned. We got shadow banned
• 3:16
  so hard because we were tobacco and alcohol,
• 3:18
  so you had to really look for us to find us.
• 3:22
  Yeah, not a huge fan of taxes and into premium
• 3:25
  tobacco. This is a danger to society and must
• 3:28
  be silenced. Yep, half naked, dancing, preteen
• 3:33
  girls, totally okay for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,
• 3:37
  and the rest of the internet. Smoking a cigar
• 3:40
  and talking about biblical values and how taxation
• 3:42
  is theft, straight out. Not okay, needs to be
• 3:46
  shadow banned. Yeah. Is the absent fountain still
• 3:51
  there? Yeah, oh yeah. Oh man, okay, how have
• 3:54
  I missed this? I don't know. It literally sits
• 3:59
  atop the back bar. It is a centerpiece of the
• 4:03
  back bar. So you just walk in, look at the center
• 4:08
  of the back bar and there it rests, atop of the
• 4:12
  back bar. I guess I just, one of those things
• 4:15
  where I didn't, it was like hiding in plain sight
• 4:16
  and I guess I didn't know what I was looking
• 4:18
  at, but I feel a little silly. Well, it looks
• 4:21
  so natural it looks so cool It just it looks
• 4:24
  like part of the decor and I and it is but it
• 4:26
  is functional decor dude. It's super cool It's
• 4:29
  just one of those just another one of the you
• 4:30
  know million things that when I was there that
• 4:33
  we did that I did that You know the little things
• 4:36
  that to me were were big things and to most people
• 4:39
  they either didn't notice or you know That's
• 4:41
  how it goes though. That's that's how it goes
• 4:46
  Yeah, I just got a text from half of Post Falls
• 4:49
  city leader leader leadership saying they want
• 4:51
  to ban absinthe because they find it personally
• 4:53
  distasteful. How am I not surprised? It's probably
• 4:57
  because it has two extra percentage points of
• 5:02
  alcohol than it's supposed to or some stupid
• 5:05
  ass thing like that because it is a higher, it's
• 5:07
  a higher ABV type stuff, but it's pretty potent.
• 5:09
  But not for the reasons people think and Wormwood
• 5:14
  yeah Wormwood and you know seeing green fairies
• 5:16
  and all that crap That's a that's a big myth
• 5:18
  that always has been a big myth and then the
• 5:21
  it being bad for you Or killing you because of
• 5:23
  the wormwood actually funny story while we're
• 5:25
  talking about mainstream media deconstruction
• 5:28
  That's what we do here. The anti -absinthe campaign
• 5:31
  began over in Europe at the turn of the century.
• 5:35
  So in 1900, the year 1900, the turn of the century,
• 5:38
  it's an exciting time. This was before everybody
• 5:41
  knew what was coming, World War I, World War
• 5:43
  II, and basically a century of ultimate statism
• 5:47
  and mass murder, unfortunately. But before that
• 5:50
  all started happening, it looked like it was
• 5:52
  going to be awesome. And absinthe was a Very
• 5:55
  very popular drink especially amongst the social
• 5:58
  elite and writers and playwrights and the the
• 6:01
  artistic types and whatnot And the wine industry
• 6:05
  was taking a beating so they got together lobbied
• 6:09
  with the government to then push a very, very
• 6:13
  heavily anti absinthe campaign, got a lot of
• 6:17
  the governments over there to ban it. And then
• 6:18
  those bands made their way across the pond, the
• 6:20
  US. So by the time we're into like the 1920s,
• 6:23
  1930s, absinthe is basically outright banned
• 6:26
  anywhere and everywhere. Or if it's not outright
• 6:28
  banned, it's it's become what was the word I
• 6:33
  want? Anathema. I don't think that's the right
• 6:36
  word I want. It's a pariah of the drink world.
• 6:39
  Nobody will touch it because they've been told
• 6:40
  that it's bad for you. It's dangerous and also
• 6:43
  You know socially unacceptable, but it was a
• 6:45
  hell of a push by the wine industry It's it's
• 6:48
  well documented and the government and the mainstream
• 6:51
  media helped push all that along This is the
• 6:54
  exact same story as what the like I don't know
• 6:57
  what American physicians associate or like, you
• 6:59
  know sort of Western medicine doctors did to
• 7:02
  midwifery Exactly the same tactics where they
• 7:05
  discredited the profession with a propaganda
• 7:07
  campaign because it was threatening their business
• 7:10
  And many and many many many other things. I mean
• 7:14
  pick a pick a topic Pick a topic any topic. It's
• 7:18
  it's not a magic trick. It's actually just it's
• 7:21
  just an extortion racket and We'll we'll we'll
• 7:25
  tell you the context of it So that's what I always
• 7:27
  say with anybody who argues for statism. I just
• 7:31
  go, OK, pick a topic, any topic, pick an industry,
• 7:33
  pick a sector, pick anything, and we'll dig into
• 7:36
  it. And it will take us less than 15 minutes
• 7:39
  to figure out the common denominator, which is
• 7:42
  government getting in the way, passing laws,
• 7:44
  rules, regulations, restrictions, et cetera,
• 7:46
  et cetera, taxes, fees, and fucking stuff up.
• 7:52
  All right. Absent and midwifery. Without fail.
• 7:55
  In the in the running for a show title right
• 7:57
  off the bat. Hell. Yeah, those two go hand -in
• 7:59
  -hand I think you're gonna be a midwife. You
• 8:01
  better know you're absent. That's right All right.
• 8:03
  Let's go to the Spokane River keeper follow -up.
• 8:06
  This is from four news now I'm sorry. This is
• 8:11
  for this is their problem. They said they this
• 8:13
  was out of phase here for the recording they
• 8:17
  did of the I don't know rallyers or whatever
• 8:20
  the chick with the megaphone Something that's
• 8:25
  going to already be hard to listen to is going
• 8:26
  to be even harder to listen to. It'll end momentarily.
• 8:33
  That was part of a Spokane River rally held today
• 8:35
  by the Spokane Riverkeeper. The rally was held
• 8:38
  to raise awareness for a stretch of the river
• 8:40
  that's dried out for the second time in two years.
• 8:43
  Thanks for staying up with us. I'm Derek Dice.
• 8:45
  You can see here people walking along the dry
• 8:47
  bed of where the river typically flows. And they
• 8:51
  had a single Tia running down their cheek like
• 8:53
  that Indian who had all the fast food thrown
• 8:55
  at his feet. Our Dana Purcell went to the rally
• 8:57
  to learn what's causing the river to run dry.
• 9:00
  For the second time in two years and in Spokane's
• 9:03
  history, a stretch of the Spokane River has run
• 9:06
  bone dry. Today we stand. We stand together,
• 9:09
  all of us, and we understand the implications
• 9:12
  of a dry river. Hey, hey. These people are nuts.
• 9:19
  The message of the dangers of a dry river was
• 9:21
  a common theme at today's Spokane River Rally,
• 9:24
  held by the Spokane River keeper. The river will
• 9:26
  take so long to come back, and that's if the
• 9:28
  water can come back in the summer. Last year,
• 9:31
  the Spokane River drying out was a huge shock
• 9:33
  to those in our community. And this year, the
• 9:36
  river dried out two weeks faster than it did
• 9:38
  last year. The Spokane Riverkeepers say this
• 9:40
  is a sign of what's to come if major changes
• 9:43
  are not made. There was water here in 2021. That's
• 9:46
  just five years that we've seen a significant
• 9:48
  change in our in our environment and conditions
• 9:50
  in our river. That's a huge concern when it comes
• 9:52
  to our water resources overall because you know
• 9:55
  we they're all connected and when we see a dramatic
• 9:57
  change like that this is this is the canary in
• 9:59
  the coal mine. There are multiple factors that
• 10:01
  contribute to the low water levels in this section
• 10:03
  of the river. Water can be lost down into the
• 10:05
  aquifer there and snowpack was low this year.
• 10:08
  The organization believes changing regulations,
• 10:11
  regulations, regulations on the post falls dam,
• 10:14
  a major water source for the river could be the
• 10:16
  solution. This is a product that happened over
• 10:20
  time, but it's something that we know we can
• 10:21
  change by increasing flows out of post falls
• 10:24
  dam during our low flow season. Avista, which
• 10:26
  operates the dam, is federally required to reduce
• 10:29
  the water released out of the dam when water
• 10:31
  levels in Lake Coeur d 'Alene drop below certain
• 10:33
  thresholds. They will begin releasing water into
• 10:36
  the river next week after Labor Day. like they
• 10:38
  do every year. From the Spokane River, Daniel
• 10:41
  Purcell. Okay I'd like to read a couple of the
• 10:44
  comments that was underneath this video and let's
• 10:50
  start with this one. There's plenty of water
• 10:54
  at Corbin Park just below the dam in Post Falls
• 10:56
  I've lived in Spokane and Kootenai County since
• 10:57
  2007 it pretty much says this every summer in
• 11:00
  July and August the water is still flowing into
• 11:01
  the aquifer Which is right there between me.
• 11:03
  Okay next one I wish I had nothing better to
• 11:05
  do than go stand in a dry regulated riverbed
• 11:09
  Next one every summer that stretch of the river
• 11:11
  becomes dry. It's normal to be able to walk across
• 11:13
  it on dry rock beds Next one strange how they
• 11:17
  didn't film the portion that was flowing there
• 11:19
  Next one next anyway goes on and on and on like
• 11:23
  it's like it's like oh Man how the examples we
• 11:27
  have of the the camera shot showing the showing
• 11:29
  the one side of whatever it is It's like look
• 11:32
  look at this horrible thing and then if the camera
• 11:35
  just panned, you know two inches to the right
• 11:37
  It's like, oh wait, that's all it's okay Look,
• 11:42
  there's the river flowing and if you just pan
• 11:45
  three inches over Anyway, this doesn't appear
• 11:51
  to be that crazy. The only thing. No, no, it's
• 11:55
  not. This is a cult. What makes it make sense
• 11:57
  is, yes, that that the the the sense of belonging
• 12:00
  that the chick with the megaphone is giving to
• 12:02
  all of the people listening to her, I suppose.
• 12:04
  And the funding. This is a lot of grant money
• 12:07
  and people drawing salaries. I don't know about
• 12:09
  a lot. A lot is sort of a arbitrary statement.
• 12:12
  We've we covered it a couple of shows ago. What
• 12:14
  the board structure looks like compared to what?
• 12:15
  Right. Compared to zero. It's too much compared
• 12:19
  to a lot of other programs and whatnot. It's
• 12:21
  only a couple hundred Only a couple hundred thousand
• 12:25
  But dude that money still a couple hundred thousand
• 12:30
  man that still got extracted from somebody somewhere
• 12:32
  or printed completely out of thin air unbacked
• 12:34
  by revenue and So it either contributes to inflation,
• 12:38
  which is a tax or was extracted somebody as a
• 12:41
  tax It came from somewhere It's been misused.
• 12:46
  Here's another comment. This is another BS story.
• 12:49
  That arm of the Spokane River always goes dry.
• 12:52
  I've driven from Idaho to Long Lake Dam. There's
• 12:54
  plenty of water in the river. Stop your effing
• 12:56
  lying. So at least there's a lot of people underneath
• 12:58
  the video that are sort of recognizing this for
• 13:02
  the nonsense that it is. Yeah, I'm actually surprised.
• 13:06
  I thought for sure it was going to be a total
• 13:07
  dumpster fire in the comment section. I'm sure
• 13:09
  some parts of it still are. but the first five
• 13:11
  or six you rattled off are like, okay, yeah,
• 13:13
  woo, woohoo. You know what? Most of them are
• 13:15
  like this. There is a little bit of sanity still
• 13:17
  here. Yeah. Yep. This is not, it's not like thousands
• 13:20
  of comments thing. I think there's like 20 comments
• 13:22
  or so. And almost all of them are like, Hey,
• 13:24
  Eftards, but not only that, this is a dam controlled
• 13:27
  segment of the river. It's right. It's below
• 13:29
  the Post Falls Dam. Somebody mentioned it in
• 13:32
  the comments, which I love that they got mentioned.
• 13:34
  It was like, Oh, Hey, good, good job creating
• 13:37
  hysteria out of a A regulated flow river. And
• 13:47
  the mainstream media is like, oh, it was lost
• 13:50
  to the aquifer. What do you mean lost? The thing
• 13:55
  we all use to drink out of. So no, it's not lost.
• 13:59
  The same people who complain about the aquifer
• 14:02
  drying up and there not being enough of that
• 14:05
  are now the ones complaining that the river is
• 14:08
  doing what it's always done and what it's supposed
• 14:10
  to do, which is drain into the aquifer. So there's
• 14:15
  fluctuations. We're all going to die. Meanwhile,
• 14:19
  those of us who have lived here for, I don't
• 14:21
  know, more than a year or two know that this
• 14:23
  is how it works every year. I'm a local. And
• 14:25
  so the other people, the other comments, those
• 14:27
  are correct. They're not just anecdotal like,
• 14:30
  oh, you know, I know because I've lived here
• 14:32
  for three years. No, this has always been a thing
• 14:35
  for as long as this infrastructure has been in
• 14:36
  place. I've lived in Post Falls. I've been in
• 14:40
  the Coeur d 'Alene Post Falls areas since 96.
• 14:43
  I've lived in Post Falls since 2010. Oh, not
• 14:47
  anymore now. Now I live out away from all you
• 14:50
  loonies. But yeah, it's a seasonal thing. They
• 14:54
  do the same thing out here. There's the dam just
• 14:57
  on where Montana and Idaho meet. There is a dam
• 15:00
  right there. The dam's up the Clark Fork. And
• 15:03
  I am now forgetting the name of that dam. How
• 15:05
  can I forget the name? I want to call it the
• 15:06
  Great Falls Dam, but that's not quite right.
• 15:08
  It's something. Anyway, it's right there. And
• 15:10
  they control the flow of the Clark Fork. So every
• 15:13
  year, the Ponderay Lake also goes up. It goes
• 15:19
  down every year. And certain parts of the Delta,
• 15:22
  where the Pack River flows in to the Ponderay
• 15:25
  Lake, and there's the Pack River Delta there,
• 15:27
  well, half the year it's full up, and half the
• 15:31
  year it's almost bone dry. And it's a controlled,
• 15:35
  regulated flow out of the Clark Fork that does
• 15:37
  that. Is it the Clark Canyon Dam? No, hold on.
• 15:44
  I can't believe I got to Google it, but I forget.
• 15:48
  I should have it totally memorized. I'm a local.
• 15:51
  No, it's the Cabinet Gorge Dam. OK, there it
• 15:53
  is. It's Cabinet Gorge Dam. Well the cabinet
• 15:57
  mountains so cabinet cabinet mountains are what
• 15:59
  we're in to the north of us and then the bitter
• 16:01
  root Range is south of us south of Clark pork.
• 16:04
  So it's the cabinet gorge dam and it is used
• 16:08
  for utilities and I want to say it's owned by
• 16:10
  a vista and Then then you know above that. There's
• 16:15
  the Knox and Rapids dam. Then there's the Thompson
• 16:18
  Falls dam, which is right outside the town of
• 16:20
  Thompson Falls So on and so forth because you
• 16:24
  know what? For the same people who complain about
• 16:27
  energy and fossil fuels, but for whatever reason
• 16:32
  they hate hydro when hydro is the best form of
• 16:35
  electricity you could possibly ask for. Water
• 16:38
  runs through it, we get electricity. You know,
• 16:41
  I have actually, this is perfect, I have a little
• 16:43
  climate story from Idaho New 6 and it's titled,
• 16:47
  Doctors Investigate Climate Risks to Health in
• 16:50
  Idaho. Doctors. Physicians. They know best. I
• 16:55
  want to just quickly relate this because you're
• 16:58
  local, but of course I'm not. I'm the transplant.
• 17:03
  But I like you better than most locals, so don't
• 17:05
  beat yourself up over it, Scott. Well, the bar's
• 17:07
  low, so I mean, thanks. Yeah, but you crawl over
• 17:13
  it easily enough, so don't worry. I remember
• 17:16
  there being, for all I know, it still exists.
• 17:17
  There was a movement. the Bay Area specifically
• 17:21
  because San Francisco gets its water from Hetch
• 17:25
  Hetchy which is a reservoir in like the Yosemite
• 17:28
  area and it's it's dammed it's dammed by the
• 17:32
  O'Shaughnessy Dam since like the 1920s you know
• 17:35
  back when we built stuff you know for water storage
• 17:37
  and it provides specifically water to San Francisco
• 17:40
  proper and other parts of the Bay Area but it's
• 17:43
  it's particularly fantastic water because it's
• 17:45
  there's like granite sided mountains and it's
• 17:48
  You know, it's clear there's not a lot of sediment,
• 17:50
  et cetera. Well, there was a big movement that
• 17:53
  maybe still exists to restore the Hetch Hetchy
• 17:56
  Valley to get rid of the dam and restore the
• 17:59
  valley to the no water, you know, fields of like
• 18:03
  flowers or whatever in these canyon walls that
• 18:06
  it was prior to 1923. But I always thought it
• 18:09
  was so like if you it's so short sighted and
• 18:12
  in which all this stuff is since record keeping
• 18:15
  began 15 seconds ago. You know, if you put up
• 18:18
  if you had like a time lapse video of let's say,
• 18:21
  5000 years of the Hetch Hetchy Valley, and you
• 18:24
  just set the camera up there at the top looking
• 18:26
  at the it would be full of water, it would be
• 18:29
  empty, it would be full of water would be empty,
• 18:30
  like there's cycles. And the reason it was a
• 18:33
  valley is because it was it was water there at
• 18:35
  some point. So it's like, well, what we really
• 18:37
  want to do us environmentalists, other than,
• 18:39
  you know, install a communist government is restore
• 18:41
  the valley to how it looked in this one really
• 18:44
  narrow window of time. Well, but why? What's
• 18:46
  so special about that particular window of time?
• 18:49
  I always remember thinking that and I never remember
• 18:50
  hearing an answer. It's pretty. It's sure. The
• 18:53
  wildflowers swing in the breeze, man. It's gorgeous.
• 18:57
  That's not all swinging in the breeze, hippies.
• 19:00
  Here's Idaho News 6's climate health. One other
• 19:05
  point to that is it really does highlight, and
• 19:09
  again, you can pick any topic that these people
• 19:11
  work on here, that they don't care how short
• 19:17
  -sighted and retarded they themselves are because
• 19:20
  the effect of their policies is to make everybody
• 19:22
  poorer and to make life worse, objectively worse.
• 19:28
  You would think they are a cult and they are
• 19:32
  a death cult. They don't care if people die.
• 19:34
  They don't care if people live in privation.
• 19:36
  They don't care about any of those things. They
• 19:38
  will sacrifice people on the altar of their own
• 19:43
  pseudo -intellectualism. and faux nobility. It's
• 19:47
  crazy. Like you get rid of that damn, well, where
• 19:50
  does the drinking water for San Francisco come
• 19:52
  from them? Does it come from the same source?
• 19:55
  Will you still use it? But you can't control
• 19:56
  it. So now it's less efficient. It's more expensive.
• 19:59
  It's probably a lower quality of drinking water
• 20:02
  now, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. It's ridiculous.
• 20:07
  Hey, hey, ho ho. all the dams have got clean
• 20:11
  waters got to go yeah yeah wait a minute it's
• 20:14
  like those those are the same people too who
• 20:17
  will also who who next weekend will join the
• 20:19
  free palestine march and they will hold up signs
• 20:21
  and say gays for palestine i yeah same people
• 20:26
  i thought it was the republicans who hate clean
• 20:28
  water now i'm really getting confused why are
• 20:32
  you gay uh here is the climate Right now, the
• 20:38
  view from the Boise Depot is looking pretty clear,
• 20:40
  but for most of the summer, it's actually looked
• 20:42
  like this. Smoke and haze clouding the mountain
• 20:46
  views, and it's a health concern that many doctors
• 20:48
  across the West have been discussing. They're
• 20:51
  concerned. Now there's a kicker at the end of
• 20:52
  this story. I already have an Ask Paul for later
• 20:55
  in the show, so it could have been an Ask Paul.
• 20:57
  But you'll hear it. We'll get to it toward the
• 20:59
  end. I'm senior reporter Riley Shoemaker and
• 21:01
  I spoke with doctors gathering here in Boise
• 21:03
  about how wildfires, smoke, extreme heat and
• 21:06
  droughts are not just an environmental concern,
• 21:09
  but a health care one as well. Dr. Wes has experienced
• 21:13
  smoke from two very different perspectives. Before
• 21:16
  becoming a pulmonary and critical care physician
• 21:19
  at St. Alphonsus, he was fighting fires on the
• 21:22
  front lines. I worked for the BLM in s years
• 21:28
  and was definitely high or poor air quality.
• 21:33
  effects in his patients. S thick smoke in the
• 21:37
  Treasure Both heat and smoke, like you're saying,
• 21:44
  affects almost every organ system. That intersection
• 21:46
  between climate and health is the focus of the
• 21:48
  second annual Regional Climate and Health Symposium
• 21:51
  in Boise, centered on extreme heat, wildfire
• 21:54
  smoke and drought. And Dr. Ethan Sims says low
• 21:57
  water levels and heat can contribute to toxic
• 21:59
  algae blooms, while drought can also leave small
• 22:02
  pools of standing water. So when we see drought,
• 22:05
  ironically, there are more small standing pools
• 22:08
  that let mosquitoes breed and mosquito born.
• 22:11
  infectious diseases are we're all going to die.
• 22:13
  But the symposium is also focused on solutions.
• 22:16
  They like hipster mosquitoes. They suck your
• 22:18
  blood. And they're like, this is ironic. Hipster
• 22:23
  mosquitoes show title. I just love how smoothly
• 22:28
  it's so formulaic. It's so formulaic and so smooth.
• 22:32
  It's second nature now at this point to them
• 22:34
  where it's like now at five. Boise doctors have
• 22:39
  gathered together in Boise to tell you that what
• 22:42
  you don't know about inhaling smoke could kill
• 22:44
  you, everyone you love, and everything around
• 22:47
  you, ironically. Look outside at the air, can't
• 23:02
  you? You're like, oh, it's bad today. OK, get
• 23:04
  ready. So we're going to hear how to limit your
• 23:07
  risk. Dr. Pitcock says doctors can stop breathing,
• 23:10
  monitor air quality, recognize their risk and
• 23:12
  know when to limit exposure. Wear an N95 mask
• 23:15
  or create a clean air. Mask up. Please tell me
• 23:20
  they've offered up a booster for smoke inhalation,
• 23:23
  please. Is there a vaccination for that? Oh my
• 23:30
  God and you know what's great too is one that
• 23:31
  we have to take every season because you know
• 23:34
  this comes around every year just like the Spokane
• 23:37
  River dries up in certain parts every year but
• 23:41
  this time it's an epidemic and if you give us
• 23:43
  enough of your money and rights we can fix it
• 23:47
  through government force we're gonna have a give
• 23:50
  us your money a symposium on the matter the experts
• 23:54
  have gathered in Boise and spoken Where were
• 23:58
  there, you know, so there was a bunch of, of
• 24:00
  course, B -roll, because these are, this is news,
• 24:03
  TV news. And the B -roll, when they mentioned
• 24:06
  the N, and they specified the N95 masks, they
• 24:09
  of course show B -roll of people hiking. in N95
• 24:15
  masks. So they're like on a trail. And I even
• 24:18
  think the ones they showed were like, they were
• 24:20
  reading one of those placards that's like along
• 24:22
  the trail that, oh, and here's a yellow wildflower,
• 24:24
  whatever. They were standing there reading and
• 24:26
  it's like those duck bill. It's like the duck
• 24:29
  bill style masks. But I just have to wonder where
• 24:32
  were all these physicians at the symposiums prior
• 24:35
  to 2020 recommending N95 masks? I don't understand.
• 24:39
  I need a, I'm looking, I'm in the market for
• 24:41
  a mask. I need something that says, I want to
• 24:43
  get in shape, but I also don't want lung cancer.
• 24:47
  What do you got? I love the outdoors, but I'm
• 24:51
  terrified of the outdoors. You said at the beginning,
• 24:55
  like, what are they going to recommend? Don't
• 24:57
  breathe? You were right. Yeah. and Dr. Zim says
• 25:01
  of course I was because the same people who want
• 25:03
  to blow up the dams and say gays for Palestine
• 25:06
  are also the same ones who basically like what
• 25:08
  you don't know about the air will kill you so
• 25:11
  you should probably just stop living just stop
• 25:14
  living you you gray man NPC you don't deserve
• 25:18
  to enjoy your life put your mask back on take
• 25:20
  your vaccine oh by the way this one doctor spent
• 25:24
  four years working for BLM a government agency
• 25:27
  that's always up to no good by the way So they're
• 25:30
  basically gospel here. They're an expert. And
• 25:32
  what do they have to say? Smoke is bad, okay?
• 25:36
  And we need the government to help. Without the
• 25:40
  government, how would we know that we shouldn't
• 25:42
  breathe smoke, Scott? Also, screw those guys.
• 25:47
  I'm going to smoke two cigars today. See, now
• 25:50
  I can't stop flashing on racketeer material where
• 25:52
  you between the clenched teeth that was holding
• 25:54
  a cigar said, I don't even hardly smoke anymore.
• 26:00
  we're also going to talk can use like tree plantin
• 26:08
  hot areas with things lik creating more shade
• 26:13
  to re The goal is to prevent so Organizers tell
• 26:20
  me that this is a conversation that they don't
• 26:22
  want just doctors involved in. So if you want
• 26:24
  to look for more information on how you can visit
• 26:27
  one of these symposiums or learn more on these
• 26:29
  topics, you can head to this story on IdahoNews6
• 26:31
  .com. So I kept that. I kept that in because
• 26:34
  I attempted to then, oh, so they want more than
• 26:37
  just doctors and bureaucrats discussing this.
• 26:39
  You gray man NPC should be involved in this too.
• 26:42
  Go to this. Go to find it. I attempted to find
• 26:45
  it. It doesn't mean it's not there. It just means
• 26:47
  it was not easily findable. I did not find it.
• 26:49
  And one has to wonder what it would say if I
• 26:52
  did. Maybe, I mean, you know what, it'd be like
• 26:55
  an Amazon link to N95 masks, which by the way,
• 26:58
  on the box says, does not prevent anything. The
• 27:03
  process is probably something along the lines
• 27:04
  of file this form in triplicate, tell us everything
• 27:07
  about you, and we might let you give comment
• 27:10
  at some point. Maybe. Unless you're Tyler Kane
• 27:14
  from DFLOC Idaho, in which case you will not
• 27:17
  be allowed to comment. Your comment probably
• 27:20
  has to be pre -screened as well. Let us know
• 27:23
  what your comment is and we will see if we'll
• 27:26
  let you through. Because we care. Should we do
• 27:31
  an Ask Paul? I love Ask Pauls. Alright. I'm down.
• 27:36
  Here comes the question. Big or small, make your
• 27:39
  guess before we call. The game begins. It's Ask
• 27:42
  Paul. brought to you by Pfizer. Well, Americans
• 27:45
  could finally be falling out of love with pumpkin
• 27:49
  spice lattes industry data shows for the past
• 27:51
  year apple and caramel apple. I did this one
• 27:54
  for you because it's actually it's not idocentric.
• 27:56
  It was on four news now which is an Idaho affiliate
• 27:58
  array. whatever the same affiliates we always
• 28:00
  use on this program. But it was, I suppose, like,
• 28:03
  I don't know, a national trend, which they do
• 28:05
  a bunch of the time as well. And I just love
• 28:06
  it because I can't think of anything more, anything
• 28:09
  less Paul Manducci than a pumpkin spice latte.
• 28:13
  So I had to just make and it was a hilarious
• 28:15
  kicker. So that's why this is here. Pumpkin spice
• 28:17
  lattes industry data shows for the past year,
• 28:20
  apple and caramel apple flavors have been gaining
• 28:22
  significant ground at coffee shops. And for the
• 28:24
  first time in a decade, McDonald's is dropping
• 28:26
  pumpkin spice from its fall menu. And on Pinterest,
• 28:29
  searches in August for **** latte syrup skyrocketed
• 28:33
  more than 900%, possibly indicating a larger
• 28:37
  shift in taste. So I'm pretty sure this is by
• 28:40
  the the beep lobby that is paying for this propaganda
• 28:44
  that, you know, they're the physicians and they're
• 28:46
  trying to discredit midwives. It's a native ad.
• 28:48
  It's something something like that. Yeah, it's
• 28:49
  like a national. This just in our product is
• 28:52
  cool again. OK, so what is it? What syrup? You
• 28:57
  don't need to worry about pumpkin spice. That's
• 29:01
  so five minutes ago Put away your broad -brim
• 29:06
  hat and your burnt orange colored scarves and
• 29:10
  embrace And some other form of squash that would
• 29:15
  be hilarious Well, they just said Apple so you
• 29:22
  lined me up with how the Apple stuff is Becoming
• 29:25
  more popular. So that's the most intuitive guess
• 29:28
  here is is apple or caramel apple Mmm Like vanilla
• 29:36
  Caramel vanilla vanilla. It's gotta be caramel
• 29:38
  something. I mean, I think I feel like I'm being
• 29:41
  like I'm gonna out think myself here So I'm gonna
• 29:42
  go with caramel apple And on Pinterest searches
• 29:48
  I didn't hear no bell And on Pinterest searches
• 29:53
  in August for banana latte syrup skyrocketed
• 29:56
  more than 900 % possibly indicating. Oh, 900%.
• 30:00
  Okay. So you're saying like, instead of one person
• 30:03
  looking for it, nine people looked for it. That's
• 30:06
  what you're telling me here. But gross. This
• 30:08
  is definitely a propaganda campaign from big
• 30:12
  banana without question. They're trying to discredit
• 30:14
  pumpkin spice. Absolutely. Dude, somewhere in
• 30:17
  the background, Dole cut a hundred thousand dollar
• 30:20
  check for this. Everyone wants a banana. We've
• 30:25
  had a fortuitous banana harvest in Ecuador this
• 30:28
  year. What do we do with all of these extra bananas?
• 30:33
  I thought that was great. Let's try to make them
• 30:35
  popular again. Oh, dude. No, no, no, no, no.
• 30:42
  No. Bananas are popular. You sure about that?
• 30:46
  It's more popular than ever before. Nine million
• 30:49
  percent increase according to Pinterest, which
• 30:51
  I'm not even sure. Do people still? I guess they
• 30:54
  still use Pinterest. I don't know. The experts,
• 30:58
  the experts at Pinterest have decided that what
• 31:01
  you don't know about banana could make your autumn
• 31:04
  suck. Let me read this from that's fantastic.
• 31:12
  I never would have. I never would have guessed
• 31:14
  that ever in a trillion years. Yeah, you know,
• 31:17
  you've been getting me good lately. You know
• 31:20
  how much rejection I face every day? I made it
• 31:23
  into an Ask Paul because I was trying to imagine
• 31:26
  you like pouring vanilla, caramel, apple, banana
• 31:30
  syrup into your instant coffee and I was like,
• 31:34
  this is as un -Paul as it gets, so I'm gonna
• 31:37
  trip him up here. I am a black coffee guy, straight
• 31:42
  up. I don't ever do anything to my coffee. Nothing
• 31:45
  black coffee. The only that is the only way to
• 31:48
  drink it. Anything else is telling me you don't
• 31:50
  like coffee. Plain and simple. Yeah. And it's
• 31:55
  so the so the point is you buy good coffee, which
• 31:59
  I know a guy around here, local roaster. I'm
• 32:01
  going to name him. Actually, I'm going to shout
• 32:02
  him out. He does not sponsor the show, but I
• 32:06
  had a cup of his coffee this morning. So this
• 32:08
  show is partially powered by Spencer Lambas.
• 32:10
  who owns Wilder Coffee Roasting and he's a local
• 32:14
  dude right here in North Idaho and his coffee
• 32:16
  is freaking fantastic. I got a half pound of
• 32:19
  his Colombian blend and a half pound of his Ethiopian
• 32:21
  blend and they are damn good. It's all good stuff.
• 32:27
  So worth every penny. Buy good coffee, drink
• 32:29
  good coffee. Do not put banana in your coffee.
• 32:34
  I just like, you know, I guess I don't like coffee,
• 32:38
  then I which is true. I get I like coffee and
• 32:41
  cream. I like the combo. So if you're like, well,
• 32:43
  you don't like coffee, I suppose that's true.
• 32:47
  I mean, I hate to be the one to break it to you.
• 32:50
  That's yeah, that's fine. I've had like, oh,
• 32:54
  well, if you have the pour over and the this
• 32:56
  and it's very fruity, you know, my my coffee
• 32:59
  snob brother, which I'm sure comes as a shock
• 33:02
  to you not at all, travels with his own coffee
• 33:04
  setup. I mean, we have, you know, we have an
• 33:06
  espresso maker, we have the French press, we
• 33:09
  have drip pot, we have... I've been the beneficiary
• 33:11
  of all of them. You make good coffee. Well, thank
• 33:14
  you. And we have all of these different methods.
• 33:16
  And despite that, he still travels with his own
• 33:18
  coffee setup. And but whatever you do to each
• 33:21
  his own. But I've had the, you know, like, oh,
• 33:23
  well, there's a reason. Does he add stuff to
• 33:25
  it? No, he drinks it straight. No, he doesn't
• 33:27
  have anything. Oh, good man. But the you know,
• 33:29
  the point is like, oh, you drink it straight.
• 33:31
  Well, if you just like these flavors are just
• 33:33
  a completely different in the single origin and
• 33:35
  there's like very fruity flavors and it's completely
• 33:37
  different than your standard, you know, whatever
• 33:39
  shot of espresso or cup a cup of drip pot. And
• 33:42
  it's true. But I still just prefer cream. So
• 33:46
  I suppose I don't like coffee. I like cream and
• 33:49
  coffee. That's unsurprisingly wonder bread of
• 33:53
  you. My wife makes her own sourdough and you
• 33:56
  know it It's it looks amazing I would I was gonna
• 34:01
  say it is amazing, but I can't eat any gluten
• 34:04
  Still so but that's unfortunate. You'll know
• 34:07
  When I when I can't when I can again, I'll hit
• 34:10
  you guys up for a loaf and a cup of coffee She
• 34:12
  oh and we'll gladly share it and actually we've
• 34:14
  shared it with your kids. So they can you can
• 34:17
  If you need a testimonial, you only need to go
• 34:19
  to your own offspring for one. And that the starter
• 34:22
  that makes that sourdough is from that same brother.
• 34:25
  So it's all very on brand. Yeah, picturesque
• 34:29
  stuff looks like it should be in a magazine bread.
• 34:33
  I miss bread. I miss bread. Here is I have a
• 34:38
  couple of notes this week from producers. One
• 34:42
  of them was attached to a clip that I was sent
• 34:45
  about. ice and posts in post falls That's kind
• 34:50
  of a longer presentation. So I think I want to
• 34:52
  do that in second half So here's another note
• 34:55
  then and it's a story of it's a property tax
• 34:58
  story. This was sent in from Eman Eman has been
• 35:02
  an executive producer in the past, although not
• 35:04
  in a long time So let me read at least part of
• 35:07
  his note here. It's a little long So I'll just
• 35:09
  kind of try to keep it. He's an executive producer.
• 35:11
  Once again, he sent something in Well, he's a
• 35:15
  producer executive producers donate in the treasure
• 35:18
  category. In this case, this is a time and talent
• 35:21
  contribution, which is also, of course, appreciated
• 35:23
  in the value for value model. Yeah, yeah. He
• 35:27
  says, hello, no IDs. He made a point of minimizing
• 35:31
  it. He said, I am subscribed to this guy's emails.
• 35:35
  He linked to it. See my below screen. And these
• 35:38
  wabbit holes seemed apropos for your explanation.
• 35:40
  Who knew that Stafford, Texas? even existed in
• 35:43
  this capacity. And this is a city that has eliminated
• 35:47
  city property taxes, which I'll get to in a moment.
• 35:49
  He said, I quite enjoy your show, and I'm still
• 35:54
  an avid listener to your entertaining and educational
• 35:56
  bantering. I was sorry to hear of Mark Fitzpatrick's
• 36:00
  decision to sell the Old State Saloon. We've
• 36:03
  eaten there twice during road trips, and we met
• 36:06
  him. And he joined us at our table during lunch.
• 36:10
  We had a 15 minute conversation with him. And
• 36:12
  this is right after he became world famous for
• 36:14
  introducing heterosexual awesomeness month. He
• 36:17
  and his wife... Which you would think would be
• 36:18
  way less controversial than it was. So weird.
• 36:22
  What a time to be alive. Even the word controversial.
• 36:25
  When the label controversial gets applied is
• 36:27
  very interesting. When the left is offended,
• 36:29
  things are controversial. That's pretty much
• 36:31
  how it works. May he move on to bigger and better
• 36:34
  things, Eman goes on and says, I hope y 'all
• 36:37
  keep us appraised of his and the saloon's future
• 36:39
  paths. We definitely will as long as the mainstream
• 36:41
  continues to report on it, which they probably
• 36:43
  will. So he follows, he just, he concludes his
• 36:46
  note. He says, by the way, I enjoy your interview,
• 36:48
  interviews of others. I think you're both good
• 36:50
  interviewers and your careful choice of interviewees
• 36:52
  is appropriate for your show. And then he now,
• 36:55
  now this is a larger font. I hope you might revisit
• 36:58
  your thoughts on the frequency of interviews.
• 37:01
  Now we're back to the smaller font and the last
• 37:04
  part of this Scott during your latest episode
• 37:07
  it seemed to me that you referred to John John
• 37:09
  D John C Dvorak several times in the present
• 37:11
  tense And I was beginning to think that maybe
• 37:14
  he'd had a reincarnation moment that I wasn't
• 37:16
  aware of but then you use the past tense later
• 37:17
  on Yeah, well, I'd feel like John C Dvorak, you
• 37:20
  know He is sort of still in the present tense
• 37:22
  because he lives on through the show and then
• 37:25
  maybe through my soundboard We know that You
• 37:28
  know, I mean that, you know, that guy's kind
• 37:30
  of he's still very much alive in many ways. So
• 37:32
  I don't really know what tends to use, I guess.
• 37:37
  And he says, Paul, I could use whatever you feel
• 37:39
  like in the moment, Scott. Just like my toddler
• 37:44
  is doing right now. That's a good point. Paul,
• 37:48
  I could care less if someone is gay, but I do
• 37:51
  have a problem with getting their lifestyle shoved
• 37:53
  in my face. However, while there may be many
• 37:56
  gays who are commies, I don't think the two are
• 37:59
  synonymous. I think Scott met a couple in North
• 38:02
  Idaho at a party who were conservative, and when
• 38:05
  asked about them bucking the trend, so to speak,
• 38:07
  they replied with something like, yeah, we're
• 38:09
  conservative and gay, but we're not stupid. I
• 38:11
  could use some high profile examples of conservative
• 38:12
  gays here, but I think you get my drift. Thanks
• 38:14
  for all your hard work, and that's from Eman.
• 38:17
  Thank you for the note, Eman. And he was addressing
• 38:20
  you saying that the two are synonymous. the stories
• 38:24
  referring to, I can't remember if I've ever shared
• 38:26
  it on this show, but they live up on the mountain
• 38:31
  next to our friends. I think they're originally
• 38:33
  from Hawaii. But there was some conversation
• 38:36
  I was having at one point, and one of the guys,
• 38:38
  they're very philosophically would be on board
• 38:40
  with sort of us. And I can't remember whatever
• 38:43
  story was in the news at the time, this was a
• 38:45
  few years ago, but one of the guys was like,
• 38:47
  I can't believe the stuff they expect me to buy
• 38:50
  into. I'm gay, I'm not retarded. And that always
• 38:54
  stuck with me like yeah, it's And I try to make
• 38:57
  that point all the time I'm never sure how successful
• 38:59
  it is at getting across that like that's why
• 39:02
  I guess you Scott is like hey Hey, I'm gay. I'm
• 39:04
  not retarded not a retard that I you know, I
• 39:08
  always try to differentiate like it's the mainstream
• 39:11
  media that continues to sell political Ideologies
• 39:14
  as related to sexual orientation. That's why
• 39:17
  I keep saying there's no such thing as the LG
• 39:18
  or race or whatever else. Yeah, yeah. In particular,
• 39:23
  you hammer on that. You hammer on all that hammer
• 39:26
  on that all the time, Scott. I don't hammer on
• 39:28
  it so vocally as often because to me, it's just
• 39:30
  a given. But I do say things like, yeah, being
• 39:34
  gay and commie, they go hand in hand or they're
• 39:36
  synonymous. A lot of the time being I'm being
• 39:37
  cheeky. But I'm also observing the demographic
• 39:41
  trends. Demographics are something I'm very interested
• 39:43
  in, and demographics are destiny. And also, the
• 39:47
  stats don't lie. Typically, if you are X, you're
• 39:49
  also going to be Y, although that doesn't always
• 39:52
  mean that you are. But the odds are good. And
• 39:56
  I'm a betting man. I play the odds. So I'm being
• 39:59
  cheeky, and I'm an odds layer when I say something
• 40:02
  like that. But yeah, I fully recognize there's
• 40:04
  always exceptions to every rule, and I enjoy
• 40:07
  meeting them. And I met a lot of them at the
• 40:08
  lunch. Let it be known as a black and queer individual,
• 40:12
  the LGBTQ community does not speak on my behalf
• 40:15
  or yours. I don't want to be ultimately I don't
• 40:18
  want to be associated with that crowd. And just
• 40:20
  because of what I do behind a closed door, does
• 40:21
  that mean I have to assimilate and be with that?
• 40:25
  Be with that? No, you don't. And nobody says
• 40:29
  you have to. Well, that's not true. They do.
• 40:31
  I don't. Frankly, I don't care as long as you.
• 40:35
  believe government sucks and taxation is theft,
• 40:38
  we're gonna get along. I don't care what you're
• 40:40
  like. I'm more at home amongst a neighborhood
• 40:43
  full of atheists who are anarchists than I am
• 40:45
  a neighborhood full of Christians who are statists.
• 40:48
  What do you stand for? That's the only question
• 40:50
  that I care about at all. Mm -hmm. Easy. Easy
• 40:53
  enough. But yeah, good stuff. Thanks, Eman. Just
• 40:56
  to quickly follow up on the property tax link
• 40:59
  that he sent, he sent a link to, I think it's
• 41:01
  a blog that he reads, and it's about this city,
• 41:04
  Stafford, Texas, and the first couple lines are
• 41:06
  kind of funny. Just outside Houston. Southwest
• 41:08
  of Houston. Unsurprising that Paul knows about
• 41:11
  it. Well, what do you know about it? If this
• 41:15
  is the one I'm thinking of, they have no property
• 41:19
  taxes, but they also... This is the town I'm
• 41:24
  thinking of they may or may not have abolished
• 41:27
  their local police force as well And then it
• 41:33
  went in favor of a contract a private sector
• 41:36
  police force Knowing full well that with a contract
• 41:39
  system that came up like it was I think an annual
• 41:41
  renewal Then they could do what they needed to
• 41:44
  do every year review things and be like now you're
• 41:46
  out someone else is in But the corruption was
• 41:49
  so bad That have that and this it made had made
• 41:53
  headlines a few years back But the corruption
• 41:55
  was so bad and the people were so upset about
• 41:57
  it that they did actually abolish their their
• 41:59
  local PD So it was no longer city PD instead
• 42:02
  They picked up a private sector security contract
• 42:05
  and that's that's what they use for police and
• 42:08
  wouldn't you know it satisfaction went up Revenue
• 42:11
  went down which is what you want if you're a
• 42:14
  sane person and customer service went up because
• 42:17
  again wouldn't you know it When you're dealing
• 42:19
  with someone who doesn't have a monopoly on violence
• 42:22
  and doesn't have a legal right to violate your
• 42:25
  rights, they have to treat you more as a customer
• 42:28
  and less as a tax cow or dirty plebe or an us
• 42:32
  versus them. Funny how that works. Now, I don't
• 42:35
  know if that was Stafford or not, but I know
• 42:36
  it was a Texas town that abolished their police
• 42:40
  department. But seeing as how Stafford did it
• 42:42
  with their property taxes, I'm wondering if they
• 42:45
  also did it with their police department. It
• 42:47
  says the the city is funded through the municipal
• 42:49
  services are funded through sales taxes and franchise
• 42:52
  taxes now I'm curious what they mean when they
• 42:54
  say franchise taxes Yeah, and so I read a quote.
• 42:57
  I was reading briefly I didn't get a chance to
• 42:59
  do a deep dive but something along the lines
• 43:01
  of they take in far more the city does in sales
• 43:04
  tax revenue than a standard city on account of
• 43:07
  the type of industry that is located there like
• 43:09
  per capita they have a very high per capita concentration
• 43:13
  of high, high generator, like big employers,
• 43:19
  even though there's only, you know, X thousand
• 43:20
  people in the town. And so because they hammer
• 43:23
  sales tax revenue, they were able to eliminate
• 43:25
  the property tax or something thereabouts. Interesting.
• 43:30
  Trying to find some more stuff on it. It is proving
• 43:33
  harder, at least for an initial. This good old
• 43:37
  fashioned Google search while you're doing that,
• 43:40
  proving harder to come up. The the blog that
• 43:43
  Eman linked to you'll you'll like the opening
• 43:46
  a couple lines from it the socially engineered
• 43:49
  tax slaves have been indoctrinated in their quote
• 43:52
  free schooling to mindlessly accept all forms
• 43:55
  of status thievery not limited to property taxation
• 43:58
  these tax slaves push back on the unconstitutionality
• 44:00
  of taxation by asking how various goods and services
• 44:03
  would ever possibly be provided for them in their
• 44:05
  communities if they were not stolen from they
• 44:07
  then wrongly ascribe rights to basic goods and
• 44:10
  services like education that education is anything
• 44:12
  but a right, just like a stranger's children's
• 44:15
  braces and clothing and toys are not rights either.
• 44:17
  And it goes on from there. But it's sort of holding
• 44:20
  up this Texas city as an exemplary for having
• 44:24
  eliminated property taxes and showing how, hey,
• 44:26
  it's not impossible. Well, it's true, but they've
• 44:32
  shifted the burden. What keeps coming up is sales
• 44:35
  tax funding is where most of it comes from. It
• 44:37
  says the city funds its operations and public
• 44:38
  services primarily through quote, strong commercial
• 44:42
  sales tax revenues generated by its large business
• 44:46
  base. So my guess would be that they have, so
• 44:53
  like unlike Post Falls, which is 85 % residential
• 44:57
  or more, it sounds like Stafford may be the opposite
• 45:01
  way where it says it had 16 to 18 ,000 residents
• 45:04
  and maybe their proper, maybe their, Makeup of
• 45:10
  the city is maybe like the other way, you know
• 45:11
  80 20 or it's 80 80 % businesses 20 % Residential
• 45:16
  and so they can just they can hammer the businesses
• 45:19
  there. Here's what it is spread it across evenly
• 45:22
  Oh, you found it? Check it out. Yeah. So it abolished
• 45:24
  its city property tax in nineteen ninety five.
• 45:26
  It didn't eliminate property taxes. Generally,
• 45:29
  residents still pay school district, county,
• 45:31
  community college and other local property taxes.
• 45:32
  The city itself simply charges zero and it replaces
• 45:35
  the revenue primarily with sales taxes. Currently,
• 45:38
  the city gets one point five percent of the eight
• 45:40
  point two five percent combined sales tax plus
• 45:42
  a bit of a business activity is unusually important
• 45:45
  because Stafford has roughly twenty seven thousand
• 45:47
  people commuting into the city to work each day
• 45:49
  and only seventeen thousand. That's what it is.
• 45:51
  So I was right, there it is. Well, I mean, I
• 45:56
  was partially right, at least as far as the makeup,
• 45:58
  because again, like a city like Post Falls can't
• 46:00
  do that. And one of the issues Post Falls has
• 46:03
  discussed for the last 10 years, 15 years is
• 46:05
  how versus Coeur d 'Alene, Coeur d 'Alene has
• 46:07
  a, when it comes to property taxes, Coeur d 'Alene
• 46:09
  has a much bigger base of commercial property
• 46:12
  taxes to pull from, whereas in Post Falls, the
• 46:15
  homeowner gets squeezed especially hard as a
• 46:18
  ratio versus Coeur d 'Alene. Because it's mainly
• 46:21
  post falls is mainly residential. So the burden
• 46:24
  falls on homeowners Whereas in Coeur d 'Alene,
• 46:27
  it's a little more even of a split and less of
• 46:30
  a burden falls on the homeowners So that's what
• 46:34
  I had in mind when I was thinking maybe this
• 46:36
  is what how things were and I was right if they
• 46:38
  have about 16 I think it was 16 to 18 ,000 people
• 46:42
  in the city, but they have One and a half times
• 46:45
  that who move who come in every day to work That
• 46:48
  implies a ton of commercial property and a ton
• 46:52
  of commercial business that they can then scalp
• 46:55
  a percentage point or two off the top. So yeah,
• 46:57
  that tracks. Well, yeah. 8 .5 % sales tax, like
• 47:03
  that blows, man. That adds up. I mean, 6 % already
• 47:08
  is retarded at the Idaho level. I mean, it's
• 47:10
  so ridiculous. But 8 .5%, good Lord. Have we
• 47:14
  all just pay our fair share, right? Right. Speaking
• 47:20
  of fair share. Oh, yeah. This program runs on
• 47:25
  value for value. So we ask, not demand, ask that
• 47:31
  you pay your fair share. Right. And whatever
• 47:34
  your fair share is, is entirely up to you. Whatever.
• 47:39
  I would never use that term. I just want it on
• 47:41
  record. I will never use the term fair share.
• 47:44
  Imagine using that. Gross. So unironically and
• 47:48
  so unself -awarely that you would actually use
• 47:52
  that phrase. How freaking brain -dead commie
• 47:55
  do you have to be to use that exact phrase? It's
• 47:59
  pretty self -evident. It's unbelievable. Have
• 48:01
  we all just pay our fair share, right? She's
• 48:04
  serious. That's Melissa Wintrow. She's a, you
• 48:07
  know, an Idaho State Rep title. She's a legislator
• 48:10
  in Idaho. Yes, she is. Yep. Blood red, Idaho.
• 48:13
  Yep. This is her too. Something you shouldn't
• 48:16
  have to endure. Right. People elected her. OK.
• 48:24
  This program is a value for value proposition,
• 48:26
  meaning that your fair share is what you determine
• 48:30
  it to be. And it's based on whatever value you
• 48:33
  think you got from this program. Not the value
• 48:35
  we're telling you that you get, even though we
• 48:37
  are saying that we try to make this a valuable
• 48:39
  program. We are just straight up saying, hey,
• 48:42
  assess what value means to you, assess what value
• 48:45
  you got out of this program, and whatever that
• 48:47
  is, send it back to us. The ways you can do that
• 48:50
  are time, talent, and treasure. We've done a
• 48:53
  lot of time and talent stuff this week, and we
• 48:56
  appreciate it a lot. Several notes, lots of articles,
• 49:00
  and a couple of sound clips. People, you guys
• 49:03
  really stepped up and contributed back in the
• 49:05
  time and talent category, and that's a big part
• 49:07
  of the model, and it's awesome. Tell them people
• 49:09
  about the show spreading the word Forwarding
• 49:12
  the newsletter sending people the link to the
• 49:14
  podcast or a YouTube video or whatever or otherwise
• 49:17
  making people aware that this program exists
• 49:19
  word of mouth is how shows like this grow so
• 49:22
  If you find it valuable send it along to friends
• 49:26
  and enemies alike personal referrals always the
• 49:29
  best and Talent I did get a show art submission
• 49:33
  this week, which was really more of a man. Oh,
• 49:37
  yeah Yeah, but it was like a meme, which is not
• 49:39
  doesn't really work for show art. It's funny
• 49:41
  and I appreciated the submission. So but anyway,
• 49:44
  maybe as a consolation prize, you can include
• 49:47
  the meme in our next email. Sure, I'll do that.
• 49:51
  Which that you can sign up for if you'd like.
• 49:52
  I do a one email a week on Fridays and it just
• 49:55
  previews the topics of that week's program. And
• 49:58
  I try to make it funny and interesting. You can

• 50:18
  And Paul, by the way, does not add anything to
• 50:20
  the newsletter. No, he just consumes the newsletter
• 50:22
  straight up. And if you do anything to the newsletter,
• 50:25
  man, that just means you don't like newsletters.
• 50:28
  I do. I do. I take my newsletter black. The treasure
• 50:33
  portion of Time Challenge and Treasure. is exactly
• 50:35
  what it sounds like fiat currency or barter the
• 50:39
  treasure portion is all via either venmo or paypal
• 50:44
  or it's or even cash we've gotten cash donations
• 50:46
  from people oh dude named jeff's tool cliparoni
• 50:51
  i just got a message from him that came in during
• 50:52
  the show here so i haven't had a chance to read
• 50:54
  it but he i believe is Oh, cool. Describing some
• 50:57
  new features of his tool Clipperoni, which is
• 51:00
  super cool that he's been providing us to use
• 51:03
  that that would be a value for value. That would
• 51:04
  be a barter because it's something you pay for.
• 51:07
  But thanks to you, we've been putting it to use.
• 51:09
  I say we it's the royal way. Scott's been putting
• 51:11
  it to use, but I love seeing it. So, yes, any
• 51:16
  executive producers, any amount, any frequency,
• 51:20
  please remember us at no ID show dot com. And
• 51:22
  do you are you queued up with a song, DJ Paul?
• 51:26
  It's a little on the longer side, but we're gonna
• 51:29
  do it cuz uh Thus saith the river keeper right?
• 52:35
  I've lost you Such a selfish thing to say I've
• 52:47
  never seen nothing beautiful Watching you slip
• 52:55
  away of your angel. And to keep you right here
• 53:22
  with me, I'll meet you on the other side. And
• 53:28
  darling, now let your soul King in Idaho. But
• 54:04
  it might work for us. this isn't the state for
• 54:19
  you. I'm happy to be a bureaucrat. And if you
• 54:45
  don't like it, you can sue me. I'm happy to be
• 55:21
  a bureaucrat. So And if all else fails, he can
• 57:29
  always move back to the motherland of Israel
• 57:31
  and he'll be fine. And live next to the Jordan.
• 57:37
  All right. Second half. I would like to do this
• 57:41
  little bit of a longer presentation about Post
• 57:44
  Falls and ice. I think I want to save the producer
• 57:49
  who sent this in asked to remain anonymous, and
• 57:51
  I think I want to read their note. After the
• 57:54
  audio, I think makes the most sense. So here's
• 57:56
  the setup. This is from Idaho News 6. Whoops.
• 58:01
  Try again. The Idaho Department of Correction
• 58:03
  has a new partnership with Immigration's Customs
• 58:06
  Enforcement. Under the agreement, authorized
• 58:08
  IDOC officials may serve warrants from ICE to
• 58:11
  Idaho inmates. The agreement also formalizes
• 58:14
  practices like identifying individuals for immigration
• 58:17
  detainment and facilitating due process hearings
• 58:20
  for those undergoing deportation proceedings.
• 58:24
  In a press release, Idaho Governor Brad Little
• 58:26
  writing that the agreement is another tool to
• 58:28
  make sure these inmates are transferred to federal
• 58:31
  custody when their Idaho sentences are complete,
• 58:34
  adding that the gem state will continue working
• 58:36
  with the Trump administration to support the
• 58:39
  enforcement of the nation's laws. So that this
• 58:42
  is the story from Post Falls is not about inmates
• 58:45
  necessarily, but I just kind of wanted to play
• 58:47
  that to illustrate. Oh, you know, Idaho's on
• 58:50
  board with ice. You know, generally speaking,
• 58:52
  that's kind of the vibe. Now, do you know what's
• 58:56
  the context? Yes, exactly. Now, I'm not sure
• 58:59
  if you saw this. This next one is from KTBV titled
• 59:03
  Post Falls contractor questions whether a homo
• 59:06
  homeowner played role in ice raid. A Post Falls
• 59:09
  contractor is questioning whether a homeowner
• 59:11
  played a role in an ICE operation that led to
• 59:14
  two of his longtime workers being deported. The
• 59:17
  homeowner denies contacting ICE, but as our Brenda
• 59:20
  Rodriguez shows us, the contractor says a comment
• 59:23
  made before the workers were detained has left
• 59:26
  him questioning what exactly happened. Now you
• 59:30
  know the reporter that KTVB has assigned to this
• 59:33
  story is Brenda Rodriguez. I haven't heard much
• 59:38
  from her. That doesn't mean she's not a frequent
• 59:40
  contributor, but I haven't heard her name much,
• 59:42
  but she's on this story. For more than six years,
• 59:45
  Aaron Mote, owner of Direct Siding Idaho, has
• 59:49
  relied on the same 12 person crew. They've worked
• 59:52
  on hundreds of homes and have become people that
• 59:55
  he knows he can count on. I know who these people
• 59:58
  are. I trust them in every single project and
• 1:00:00
  every single home that I send them to. And it
• 1:00:02
  just breaks my heart to see these people ripped
• 1:00:05
  apart from their homes and families. On Saturday,
• 1:00:09
  August 15th, Ice raided his construction site
• 1:00:12
  in Post Falls, leaving him without two of his
• 1:00:14
  workers. And all I hear was tears on the phone.
• 1:00:18
  trying to respond to my team member Eileen, who's
• 1:00:22
  an American citizen, and it was just heartbreaking
• 1:00:25
  to hear. Moat says he does not know why his crew
• 1:00:28
  was targeted, but he says that there was an incident
• 1:00:32
  with the homeowner before hiring him on as a
• 1:00:34
  client. He invited us into their home and during
• 1:00:37
  that conversation with his wife, he said we want
• 1:00:40
  to hire your Mexicans. I really politely explained
• 1:00:43
  to the gentleman that these people aren't Mexicans.
• 1:00:46
  They're from Honduras originally. and they've
• 1:00:48
  been with me for six plus years and they've served
• 1:00:51
  over 200 residential clients for me and a ton
• 1:00:54
  of apartments. Moat believes that this operation
• 1:00:56
  may have been connected to that homeowner, but
• 1:00:59
  he acknowledges that he does not know who made
• 1:01:01
  that call to ICE. Even on a residential street
• 1:01:04
  in Post Falls, Idaho, you can see how divided
• 1:01:06
  this issue is. There was nothing else but racial
• 1:01:09
  profiling at best and at worst possibly. possibly
• 1:01:13
  a malicious homeowner who invited us there. In
• 1:01:16
  a phone call, the homeowner asked to remain anonymous
• 1:01:19
  and declined an interview with KTVB but denied
• 1:01:22
  calling eyes. In the video circulating on social
• 1:01:25
  media, the homeowner can be seen getting upset
• 1:01:28
  as people record and confront him about the workers.
• 1:01:31
  I asked the guy if he had any illegals working
• 1:01:34
  for him. He said no, they were all dead. Do you
• 1:01:36
  hire undocumented people? No, I file I. follow
• 1:01:42
  every single law. Was that a cut? I had to embellish
• 1:01:48
  it a little bit. But only a little bit. Here's
• 1:01:52
  what it actually sounded like. That's what it
• 1:01:57
  really sounded like. So he definitely stumbled.
• 1:02:01
  I follow every single law required. I couldn't
• 1:02:05
  help myself. follow every single law required
• 1:02:13
  as a as a contractor to do my job. We do not
• 1:02:16
  discriminate. We're not allowed to discriminate
• 1:02:18
  on the basis of race or immigration status. And
• 1:02:21
  I'm simply always looking for the best, most
• 1:02:23
  qualified individual. Eyes confirmed in a statement
• 1:02:26
  to KTVB that 30 year old Marlin Zalea Castellanos
• 1:02:29
  was granted voluntary return while 25 year old
• 1:02:32
  Edwin Matute Figueroa received a final order
• 1:02:35
  of removal on March 1st, 2017. I says both men
• 1:02:39
  were were deported to Honduras at the end of
• 1:02:41
  August, leaving it scrambling to find... Honduras.
• 1:02:46
  So this gal whose last name is Rodriguez, Rodriguez,
• 1:02:50
  sounds not Latino at all until she starts saying
• 1:02:55
  things like Honduras. It's funny that, and you
• 1:02:58
  hear that a lot in the mainstream media, you
• 1:03:00
  know, it's like, oh, yes, the absinthe machine
• 1:03:03
  is from Deutschland. You can just say Honduras.
• 1:03:07
  Why are we suddenly? Anyway, but they do it all
• 1:03:10
  the time. I says both men. No, no, I'm not into
• 1:03:13
  dark beers. Thank you, though. I says both men
• 1:03:16
  were deported to Honduras at the end of August,
• 1:03:19
  leaving scrambling to find qualified workers
• 1:03:22
  to finish the job. But for Marlin's family, the
• 1:03:25
  impact goes far beyond an unfinished construction
• 1:03:28
  job. Yeah. Anyway, so now I will I kept this
• 1:03:33
  in because they. I guess I forgot to edit it,
• 1:03:35
  but it's the news. Miss Rodriguez is now speaking
• 1:03:40
  by phone to the Spanish speaking, I suppose,
• 1:03:43
  wife of the guy because she's still here, I think.
• 1:03:45
  And but he's been deported back to Honduras.
• 1:03:49
  And so there's just a lot of back and forth in
• 1:03:52
  Spanish and their subtitles. And she's basically
• 1:03:54
  being like, oh, our our family and our 12 kids,
• 1:03:58
  you know, the dad's gone and stuff. Oh, that's
• 1:04:03
  a bummer, man. You know, folk, so the people
• 1:04:05
  like that, the argument, especially again, I'm
• 1:04:07
  an anarchist, so I do believe in the free movement
• 1:04:10
  of peoples and people who will contribute to
• 1:04:13
  the culture and society that we want. I wish
• 1:04:15
  they would stay here. I wish we would keep them
• 1:04:17
  here. Sounds like these dudes were productive.
• 1:04:20
  Cool. Stay. The fact that we spend resources
• 1:04:24
  to send them, that's where you're gonna get a
• 1:04:27
  lot of pushback from people. Meanwhile, in, you
• 1:04:31
  know, Minnesota, just erect another leering center
• 1:04:35
  and everybody's cool with it over there. We can't
• 1:04:37
  get rid of those people, of course, but we can
• 1:04:39
  get rid of the hardworking, not Mexican Hondurans
• 1:04:42
  in Idaho. But we can't get rid of the Somalis
• 1:04:46
  over there who contribute very little of value
• 1:04:48
  to the culture or to whatever it is we're trying
• 1:04:50
  to build, I guess. Yeah, that sucks, man. That's
• 1:04:54
  a bummer. The whole thing is so I feel for him.
• 1:04:57
  It's like, well then, but then there's all these,
• 1:04:59
  you know, the illegals and they come here and
• 1:05:01
  they use all these, uh, services and the welfare
• 1:05:03
  and the food stamps and the, this and the government,
• 1:05:05
  uh, payouts for the daycare. And it's like, yeah,
• 1:05:08
  why is all that even in, why is all that in place?
• 1:05:11
  What's the problem? Well, the solution is pretty
• 1:05:15
  simple. Again, as an anarchist, it's, that's
• 1:05:18
  not a problem if we don't have that shit in place.
• 1:05:20
  You get rid of the entitlements, you get rid
• 1:05:21
  of the welfare, you get rid of all that shit.
• 1:05:23
  And guess what? Bingo. Not a problem. And if
• 1:05:26
  you make it easier to become a U .S. citizen,
• 1:05:30
  then people don't have to hop the fence. They
• 1:05:33
  can, if they want to contribute, they can join
• 1:05:35
  up and contribute. If they don't feel like contributing
• 1:05:38
  to society and whatever it is we're doing over
• 1:05:40
  here and they come on over, they don't have the
• 1:05:43
  apparatus at their disposal to take advantage
• 1:05:45
  of because it doesn't exist. So it's on both
• 1:05:48
  sides of it, basically. Get rid of the bureaucracy,
• 1:05:52
  make it easier to become a citizen or to live
• 1:05:55
  here, to be here, to pursue the dream. And also
• 1:05:59
  don't offer up all of the different freebies
• 1:06:03
  to illegals or American citizens alike. I don't
• 1:06:06
  think it should exist at all, no matter who's
• 1:06:09
  using it. Ta -da! Problem solved. Here's the
• 1:06:14
  last part of this clip. And that's where Moat
• 1:06:16
  says there's a disconnect between the immigration
• 1:06:18
  enforcement he thought he was voting for and
• 1:06:21
  what he says he's seeing in his own community.
• 1:06:34
  I added that in, sorry. They never ask questions
• 1:06:36
  like that of Biden voters, though. Like, have
• 1:06:38
  you noticed? They never ever be like, you know,
• 1:06:40
  any of the any of the awful shit that Biden did,
• 1:06:43
  too. Not that I'm saying one's better than the
• 1:06:45
  other. It's all hot garbage. It's hot garbage.
• 1:06:47
  It's just is the hot garbage the blue color?
• 1:06:50
  Is the hot garbage the red color? Like whatever.
• 1:06:53
  What flavor of boot leather are we arguing over
• 1:06:55
  today? But the mainstream media is so disingenuous
• 1:06:57
  and dishonest about all of it. They would never,
• 1:06:59
  ever, ever, ever ask a question like that of
• 1:07:01
  anybody on the left. Did you vote for the Biden
• 1:07:04
  administration? Are you happy with what the Biden
• 1:07:07
  administration has done to fuck up your business?
• 1:07:10
  I'm surprised she didn't say regime. Here's how
• 1:07:13
  he answered it. Yes, I proudly voted for this
• 1:07:15
  administration believing that the problems would
• 1:07:17
  be focused on. No, he said proudly. Yes, I proudly
• 1:07:20
  voted for this administration believing that
• 1:07:22
  the real issues would be focused on and believing
• 1:07:25
  that real criminals and rapists would be focused
• 1:07:28
  on. Do you regret that vote now? Why did you
• 1:07:34
  choose that particular crime to single out? You
• 1:07:36
  could have just stopped at criminals. and believing
• 1:07:39
  that real criminals and rapists would be focused
• 1:07:42
  on. Do you regret that vote? Yeah? Oh yeah? Well,
• 1:07:45
  how about this? Didn't work out the way you thought
• 1:08:05
  it would. Did it? Turns out it doesn't matter
• 1:08:08
  who's in charge. It's always a dumpster fire
• 1:08:10
  When I wanted people deported I didn't mean my
• 1:08:14
  employees damn it I I would be remiss if I didn't
• 1:08:19
  include this little clip from Blazing Saddles
• 1:08:22
  qualifications rape murder awesome and rape you
• 1:08:27
  said rape twice I like rape Sorry Do you regret
• 1:08:36
  that you're hired? Voting for Donald Trump or
• 1:08:40
  the auto pen I've got to have faith that the
• 1:08:44
  administration can hear the feedback that's coming
• 1:08:46
  from real Americans right now this oh my gosh,
• 1:08:49
  this is This is like Stockholm syndrome. Well,
• 1:08:53
  did he beat me yesterday? Yeah Did he beat me
• 1:08:57
  less hard than the other guy who was colored
• 1:08:59
  blue? Maybe a little will he beat me today or
• 1:09:02
  tomorrow? Well, I hope he listens to me first.
• 1:09:06
  I gotta believe that he's raping, I mean listening.
• 1:09:11
  I've got to have faith that the administration
• 1:09:13
  can hear the feedback that's coming from real
• 1:09:15
  Americans right now. This happening right now
• 1:09:18
  all across America, this quiet push, this is
• 1:09:21
  not okay and this is not what we voted for. A
• 1:09:23
  quiet push. It's not so quiet this morning. Well,
• 1:09:30
  yeah, I drink my coffee black. Well, yeah, it's
• 1:09:33
  two workers quieter. Now, KTVB also asked ICE
• 1:09:38
  whether either man had a criminal history. The
• 1:09:41
  agency did not respond to that question. No,
• 1:09:44
  you mean other than being illegal. And that's
• 1:09:46
  of course what you always hear people and see
• 1:09:48
  people say, like, well, they're automatically.
• 1:09:51
  They are criminals because they crossed the border
• 1:09:53
  illegally. So everyone who's here illegally,
• 1:09:55
  whether they committed the act of rape, murder,
• 1:09:57
  arson, or rape, is a criminal. I'm not saying
• 1:10:00
  I necessarily agree with that. And once again,
• 1:10:02
  I have to say it, but like as an anarchist, this
• 1:10:04
  is another thing we harp on all the time is legality
• 1:10:08
  does not equate morality or ethics, but most
• 1:10:12
  people act as if it does because it's legal.
• 1:10:15
  That automatically means it's moral or it's immoral
• 1:10:17
  if what you're doing is illegal. And people are
• 1:10:20
  wrong on both sides of it. So the people on the
• 1:10:22
  left who are like, we should let anybody in all
• 1:10:24
  the time, no matter what, it doesn't matter.
• 1:10:26
  And we should give them all the goodies and freebies.
• 1:10:28
  They are super duper wrong. And also they ignore
• 1:10:31
  the fact that just by illegally being here, you're
• 1:10:35
  a criminal. And then on the other side, you have
• 1:10:38
  the people who are like, wow, we got to get rid
• 1:10:39
  of everybody and deport them all. And if you're
• 1:10:42
  an illegal, anything you, you know, if you commit
• 1:10:44
  a crime of any kind, you're a terrible human
• 1:10:48
  being. Hey, I back the blue and you know, we
• 1:10:51
  don't tolerate criminals. And it's like, well,
• 1:10:53
  jaywalking is a crime. So, you know, or rolling
• 1:10:57
  through a stop sign is a crime. Does that make
• 1:10:59
  you a terrible human being? Well, according to
• 1:11:02
  conservatives, yep. If you're a criminal, you're
• 1:11:06
  a scumbag. I still can't get over it. So it's
• 1:11:08
  so everybody's everybody's wrong. Welcome to
• 1:11:10
  this episode of everybody's wrong again, because
• 1:11:14
  the answer is always more freedom, not less,
• 1:11:17
  fewer rules, not more. an understanding that
• 1:11:19
  if your moral compass is dictated by what is
• 1:11:22
  legal, you're a shit person. And if you vote
• 1:11:27
  the way this guy voted and then still is like,
• 1:11:30
  yeah, but maybe, maybe if they listen. It's the
• 1:11:38
  worst kind of Stockholm syndrome ever. I gotta
• 1:11:41
  believe he's listening to me. Hello. Are you
• 1:11:45
  listening? He beat me so hard last night. Maybe
• 1:11:48
  he's tired out and he'll listen to me this morning.
• 1:11:51
  But it was for my own good, the beating was.
• 1:11:54
  For my own good. I mean, we're laughing here
• 1:12:04
  so that we don't cry because the whole thing
• 1:12:06
  is a bummer. It's a bummer like eight ways to
• 1:12:09
  Sunday. I feel bad. The two, the guys. clearly
• 1:12:11
  productive human beings who should be here. They
• 1:12:14
  should be allowed to stay here and work for their
• 1:12:16
  dream. The quote unquote American dream, whatever,
• 1:12:19
  whatever amount of that still exists, I guess,
• 1:12:21
  they should be able to pursue it. People should
• 1:12:23
  be free to move where they wish to be. At the
• 1:12:27
  same time, you play stupid games, you win stupid
• 1:12:29
  prizes. But at the end of the day, the common
• 1:12:32
  denominator is people are stupid and government
• 1:12:33
  sucks. And I'm sorry for everybody. Yeah, don't
• 1:12:37
  worry if you vote harder. in the most important
• 1:12:40
  election of our lifetime that's coming up, you
• 1:12:43
  might get listened to. Well, and I can hear how
• 1:12:47
  people that would, you know, that, you know,
• 1:12:49
  especially like the more sort of conservative
• 1:12:51
  type, you want to call it that would react to
• 1:12:53
  that like, well, yeah, they should be able to
• 1:12:55
  work for the dream, like you'd said, but why
• 1:12:57
  didn't they just come here legally then? Well,
• 1:13:00
  it's a process is a nightmare. Ask anybody who's
• 1:13:03
  tried to do it legally. I wouldn't. Yeah, it's
• 1:13:07
  ridiculous most of most Americans don't deserve
• 1:13:09
  don't deserve to be American and they could never
• 1:13:12
  pass the test They could never pass the test
• 1:13:15
  and wouldn't and most of them wouldn't be able
• 1:13:17
  to go through the process themselves because
• 1:13:18
  the amount of time Paperwork the bullshit hoops.
• 1:13:22
  You got to jump through it's insane. It needs
• 1:13:24
  to be reformed and it never will be Because that
• 1:13:28
  would be a solution solutions Scott Don't work
• 1:13:33
  when you're in the government Well, it's like
• 1:13:37
  when you're trying to join the local school board
• 1:13:40
  and you're trying to, quote, fix a broken system,
• 1:13:43
  but the system isn't broken. And so therefore
• 1:13:46
  you can't fix it. It's functioning exactly as
• 1:13:48
  it should. Also, if the justification for your
• 1:13:52
  existence is based on the problem existing, you
• 1:13:56
  can never solve the problem. Here's the note
• 1:14:00
  that accompanied this clip that was sent in by
• 1:14:03
  our anonymous Well, actually anonymous boots
• 1:14:06
  on the ground. I have worked as a contractor
• 1:14:09
  in both Idaho and Washington, and I have to wonder
• 1:14:12
  what this guy was thinking. I'm sure these fellas
• 1:14:16
  are hard workers. Most guys swinging a hammer
• 1:14:18
  all day are. But after many years in the business,
• 1:14:21
  I can tell you there's a pretty simple way to
• 1:14:23
  know whether you're playing by the rules. If
• 1:14:25
  a guy can't fill out an i9 and you can't put
• 1:14:28
  him on a W2, you've got yourself a problem. And
• 1:14:31
  if the solution is, well, we'll just pay in cash
• 1:14:33
  and nobody needs to know. Congratulations, you've
• 1:14:35
  managed to turn your labor problem into a tax
• 1:14:37
  problem, too. You can't run a construction company
• 1:14:40
  on the honor system and a coffee can full of
• 1:14:43
  cash. Come on now. Well, you you should be able
• 1:14:48
  to. I think you should be able to. But unfortunately,
• 1:14:50
  in the world we live in, it can come with massive
• 1:14:53
  repercussions if you get caught. So it's a bummer.
• 1:15:00
  But you should be able to run your business that
• 1:15:02
  way. Handshakes and cash? It's how it used to
• 1:15:05
  be done and the world didn't fall apart. God
• 1:15:07
  forbid. Actually, it's funny that that comes
• 1:15:10
  up because just last night I was helping an MRSA
• 1:15:12
  fill out some online paperwork for a part -time
• 1:15:15
  gig she's getting at a coffee shop in Clark Fork.
• 1:15:18
  Oh, one that hasn't been shut down by the health
• 1:15:20
  department yet? No, not this one. Wow, how refreshing.
• 1:15:24
  This one got signed off. Yeah, yeah, they must
• 1:15:26
  have had the right paperwork in order. Woo, good
• 1:15:29
  for them. Speaking of paperwork, to take this
• 1:15:32
  goofy, it's cool that she's doing it. I don't
• 1:15:35
  mean to be dismissive of it. But it's a part
• 1:15:37
  -time job at a coffee shop. And there was a ridiculous
• 1:15:40
  amount of paperwork involved. I9s, W4s. Tax filing
• 1:15:44
  stuff social security number stuff this that
• 1:15:47
  and the other and everything was done online
• 1:15:49
  Including syncing up the bank for direct deposit
• 1:15:52
  because apparently nobody cuts checks anymore
• 1:15:54
  It's all just direct deposit and I sat there
• 1:15:58
  thinking about all of this and I was this is
• 1:15:59
  this is fucking ridiculous Like we live in the
• 1:16:02
  matrix the fact that we can't even go work at
• 1:16:04
  a local coffee shop Making nine dollars an hour
• 1:16:08
  plus tips and you have to do all of this It's
• 1:16:12
  bullshit and all for a wage that you never see,
• 1:16:17
  you never touch, you never feel, nothing. It's
• 1:16:21
  literally ones and zeros. You trade your time
• 1:16:25
  and let the government take a big old piece and
• 1:16:28
  all you ever see out of it is ones and zeros
• 1:16:31
  on a screen. That then for whatever reason, the
• 1:16:33
  banking system accepts and your mortgage broker
• 1:16:36
  accepts and people accepts, but it's nothing,
• 1:16:39
  it's worthless, it means nothing. When you just
• 1:16:42
  sit down, light up a cigar, grab a beer or something,
• 1:16:45
  and really think about this, it's the fucking
• 1:16:48
  Matrix. It's crazy. I think I'd like to contemplate
• 1:16:53
  it over some absinthe and a cup of black coffee.
• 1:16:57
  Yeah, yeah, you'll definitely be chasing green
• 1:16:59
  fairies then. But not because of the absinthe,
• 1:17:02
  just because of the madness that is derived from
• 1:17:04
  thinking about what they've done to us. I'd write,
• 1:17:08
  and the part where none of it is actually like,
• 1:17:10
  oh, central bank digital currencies, a conspiracy
• 1:17:13
  theory. Really? I mean, it seems like we're already
• 1:17:15
  most of the way there. Like you said, nothing
• 1:17:17
  is ever actually tangible at all. It's just the
• 1:17:19
  final step. I mean, they can already drain your
• 1:17:22
  accounts. They can freeze your accounts. Everything
• 1:17:25
  is a one and a zero. Extract what they want from
• 1:17:27
  your accounts automatically now. The only thing
• 1:17:30
  they haven't done is turn it into a CBDC. Yeah,
• 1:17:35
  which when they do that, then they then they
• 1:17:37
  can also turn it off. But they effectively can
• 1:17:41
  turn it off now. Well, and they showed that with
• 1:17:45
  the whole trucker protest up in Canada, if you
• 1:17:49
  didn't, they supposedly turn off the truck. Oh,
• 1:17:52
  hey, you guys want to be on this snowy interstate
• 1:17:56
  in wherever they were, Ottawa, like, well, good
• 1:17:58
  luck, because now you just your bank card doesn't
• 1:18:00
  work. How are you going to get supplies? Yeah,
• 1:18:02
  the trucker convoy. Well, first they shut down
• 1:18:06
  the first GoFundMe setup that they had. Then
• 1:18:09
  they attacked the second GoFundMe setup that
• 1:18:12
  they had. It was two different. I think it was
• 1:18:13
  first it was GoFundMe and then it was something
• 1:18:14
  else, or one and then the other. I don't remember
• 1:18:16
  what. So a second one popped up and they were
• 1:18:19
  still getting funds. So then the ultimate solution
• 1:18:21
  that the Canadian government pursued was to seize
• 1:18:23
  all of the assets, which they did, jail a bunch
• 1:18:27
  of the people in the trucker convoys, which they
• 1:18:29
  did, and then prosecute them. And they never
• 1:18:32
  got the money back either. So they straight up
• 1:18:36
  just seized the funds. And I believe they labeled
• 1:18:38
  it something like domestic terrorism so that
• 1:18:40
  that way, the funds were forfeit. They could
• 1:18:43
  never get it back. It's funding domestic terrorism.
• 1:18:48
  And the Canadian government just took it. Yay,
• 1:18:51
  government. But without them, don't forget that
• 1:18:53
  without them, we'd all rape and pillage and enslave
• 1:18:56
  each other and murder each other. And it would
• 1:18:57
  be anarchy in the streets and chaos. Without
• 1:19:01
  them to do these things to us, somebody somewhere
• 1:19:07
  might come along and attempt to do something
• 1:19:09
  similar, but not nearly as bad or as big in scale
• 1:19:12
  or scope to us. Maybe. But I also can shoot back.
• 1:19:19
  I'm allowed to shoot. But in that scenario, I'm
• 1:19:21
  also allowed to defend myself. So, oh no. Thank
• 1:19:29
  you Anonymous Boots on the Ground for the audio
• 1:19:32
  clip and for the note. And I got a couple more
• 1:19:37
  for this week. Here is... more housing stuff.
• 1:19:41
  Also with Idaho home prices ou local wages can
• 1:19:46
  support h and city officials from a are discussing
• 1:19:50
  whether b help. I'm senior reporter the idea
• 1:19:55
  is not new, but s home. Idaho's population has
• 1:20:03
  grown and so has the cost of having a place to
• 1:20:06
  call home. Ali Robbie, executive director of
• 1:20:09
  the pro housing advocacy group. Gem State Housing
• 1:20:11
  Alliance says housing costs also a Democrat senator.
• 1:20:15
  They don't mention that. So just for your edification
• 1:20:17
  says housing costs have increased by 40 % over
• 1:20:20
  the last decade, while local wages have struggled
• 1:20:23
  to keep up young people who want to stay and
• 1:20:26
  work here in Idaho who are stuck in our rental
• 1:20:29
  market. paying $2 ,000 a month worth of rent
• 1:20:32
  who can't afford to get into a $500 ,000 home.
• 1:20:35
  That's not a starter home. Robbie acknowledges
• 1:20:37
  that developers have built thousands of houses
• 1:20:39
  in recent years, but estimates about 95 % are
• 1:20:42
  larger single family homes in suburban neighborhoods.
• 1:20:45
  Thursday, city officials, planners, and I wonder
• 1:20:47
  why. Why do you think that is? Do you think it
• 1:20:50
  could possibly be due to something like, oh,
• 1:20:53
  I don't know, zoning restrictions and laws and
• 1:20:56
  regulations and density. Restrictions and laws
• 1:20:59
  and regulations and what you can put where and
• 1:21:01
  why and how much and how many parking lots you
• 1:21:04
  got to have and You know, I mean, I'm just gonna
• 1:21:08
  throw throw something out there that I wonder
• 1:21:11
  I wonder in recent years, but estimates about
• 1:21:16
  95 % are larger single -family homes in suburban
• 1:21:19
  neighborhoods. Thursday, city officials, planners,
• 1:21:22
  and housing professionals from Boise and CUNA
• 1:21:24
  to McCall, Nampa, and Moscow gathered virtually
• 1:21:27
  to discuss another option. They gathered virtually
• 1:21:30
  in their N95 masks. Gathered virtually to discuss
• 1:21:34
  another option. Oh good, I'm so glad that the
• 1:21:35
  experts got together for another symposium because
• 1:21:38
  they've done so much good so far. Why isn't the
• 1:21:42
  market doing the things that the market clearly
• 1:21:44
  needs. Let's figure out how we can interject
• 1:21:46
  more in the market to fix the problem. Smaller
• 1:21:49
  homes on smaller lots. Matthew Adams, a principal
• 1:21:53
  and landscape architect with the land group in
• 1:21:55
  Eagle, explained how those developments differ
• 1:21:57
  from a typical subdivision. When we say small
• 1:21:59
  lot, we're talking about as low as 933 square
• 1:22:03
  feet for the entire plotted lot that compares
• 1:22:05
  with the roughly 5000 square foot lot. Adam says
• 1:22:08
  is common in many communities. Small lot homes
• 1:22:11
  may sound like you know there's a middle ground,
• 1:22:13
  right? I'm just going to throw that out there
• 1:22:15
  too. There's somewhere in between and. this is
• 1:22:18
  where the stuff gets stupid too is because you've
• 1:22:20
  got people who are like no it's got to be five
• 1:22:22
  acres in the county or or it's not going to work
• 1:22:26
  and then they could just say it's the county
• 1:22:28
  and then the cities or people like this guy are
• 1:22:31
  like well we could do you know 900 square feet
• 1:22:35
  and most people are like uh That's that's a lot
• 1:22:39
  too, but on the opposite end of things that's
• 1:22:41
  really high density and also I don't know if
• 1:22:43
  I want that I'm sure some people will though.
• 1:22:45
  So if the market says yes, then yeah, I could
• 1:22:47
  build them but There's a lot of room in the middle
• 1:22:51
  there between five acres and 900 square feet
• 1:22:54
  Like maybe just maybe we let property owners
• 1:23:01
  do what they want to do with their own property
• 1:23:04
  or developers do what they want to do with the
• 1:23:07
  property they bought that will respond to what
• 1:23:11
  the market wants and get out of their way so
• 1:23:16
  that they can actually provide a good and a service
• 1:23:19
  at a proper market price that hasn't been twisted
• 1:23:23
  and warped due to, you know, you guessed it,
• 1:23:28
  the usual common denominator. Well, your premise...
• 1:23:31
  Again, I'm just going to throw that out there.
• 1:23:32
  Your premise is baloney in the first place. It's
• 1:23:34
  not their property. You got to pay rent to the
• 1:23:36
  government. Right, right. Property rights. I
• 1:23:39
  know. I should know better. What kind of lunatic
• 1:23:42
  nonsense is that? What, are you new here? Is
• 1:23:45
  this your first day? Yeah. Small lot homes may
• 1:23:50
  sound like a new approach to Idaho's housing
• 1:23:52
  shortage, but advocates say they're actually
• 1:23:54
  return to how many older neighborhoods were built.
• 1:23:57
  Boise area urban planner Chris Stanley says they
• 1:23:59
  could also create more options between apartments
• 1:24:02
  and large suburban homes. We've been really,
• 1:24:05
  really good at building two types of homes in
• 1:24:07
  the last 50 years. Mostly single family homes
• 1:24:10
  and apartments and. There's middle ground to
• 1:24:14
  be had here. Supporters say smaller lots can
• 1:24:16
  reduce and shut up you. I said that. Yes, in
• 1:24:24
  the expert symposium of the No ID program, radical
• 1:24:28
  and wild -eyed anarchist Paul Banducci got lucky
• 1:24:32
  and said one right thing. You know, the worst
• 1:24:36
  part of this is that they'll listen to him, but
• 1:24:38
  they won't listen to me. Like I could say I'd
• 1:24:41
  say forever for years and years and years. Everybody
• 1:24:43
  just rolls their eyes. And then all of a sudden
• 1:24:44
  some quote unquote expert pops up and is like,
• 1:24:46
  Hey, what if we Hey guys, what if we split the
• 1:24:49
  difference and I'm over there going, that's what
• 1:24:51
  I've been saying the whole time. And all of a
• 1:24:54
  sudden everybody goes, oh yeah. Yeah, that's
• 1:24:56
  a, you know, that's a really good idea. Why don't
• 1:24:59
  we just split the difference? Supporters say
• 1:25:02
  smaller homes and lots can reduce land, building,
• 1:25:04
  and infrastructure costs, though that does not
• 1:25:06
  guarantee a lower price. This year, Idaho lawmakers
• 1:25:09
  required cities with at least 10 ,000 people
• 1:25:11
  to allow accessory dwelling units and lots as
• 1:25:14
  small as 1 ,500 square feet. Robbie says those
• 1:25:17
  changes could remove barriers to building more
• 1:25:19
  housing options. Building more housing will not
• 1:25:22
  guarantee a lower price. There's no way to know.
• 1:25:26
  There's no way to know that if we start to meet
• 1:25:28
  demand, pressure on prices might change. Nah,
• 1:25:34
  that's that's not how supply and demand works
• 1:25:36
  at all. There's there's no possible way that
• 1:25:39
  that could possibly be a thing. It's like at
• 1:25:42
  the beginning of Trump's term last year, I don't
• 1:25:45
  know, middle of 25 or something like that. He
• 1:25:47
  was there's this housing thing was really a big
• 1:25:50
  thing at the federal level. Maybe it was the
• 1:25:52
  beginning of this year, the end of last year,
• 1:25:53
  whatever. And he's floating some bill Trump and
• 1:25:55
  his people are about, you know, well, we need
• 1:25:57
  to make sure that corporations can't own homes
• 1:25:59
  because corporations aren't people. And it's
• 1:26:01
  like, well, first off, corporations only own
• 1:26:03
  one point nine percent of the homes in the rental
• 1:26:05
  market. So the smallest portion of the rental
• 1:26:08
  market across the country by far. Secondly, all
• 1:26:12
  the stats show that corporate owned rentals actually
• 1:26:15
  are about four to six percent less expensive.
• 1:26:20
  They get maintained very well. They are accessible
• 1:26:23
  to everybody who can, of course, who can afford
• 1:26:25
  it. But they're not really the main issue. So,
• 1:26:28
  of course, it's it's a deflection thing. And
• 1:26:30
  then the Democrats on the other side are like,
• 1:26:32
  well, you know, that's sort of it. But that's
• 1:26:34
  sort of not what we need is more rules and regulations.
• 1:26:37
  And the Republicans are like, well, we need less
• 1:26:38
  rules and regulations, except on this group that
• 1:26:42
  we now hate. all of a sudden because it's politically
• 1:26:44
  expedient. So ultimately, what it came down to
• 1:26:47
  was Democrats basically said, you know, building
• 1:26:49
  more housing isn't going to lower the cost of
• 1:26:51
  housing. And Republicans said, yes, it will.
• 1:26:54
  But that's a bad thing because boomers. And of
• 1:26:59
  course, the huge factor, like maybe the single
• 1:27:03
  biggest factor hampering everybody's ability
• 1:27:05
  to afford this or, you know, starter home that.
• 1:27:10
  your teenage daughter is attempting to have a
• 1:27:13
  part time, I don't know if it's a full part time
• 1:27:16
  job or just a part time job, but Good for you.
• 1:27:19
  She's going to get she's going to get a W2. OK,
• 1:27:22
  she's going to have like, you know, 20, 30, 20
• 1:27:24
  something percent of her labor just taken away
• 1:27:26
  from her. Her parents are getting hammered for
• 1:27:29
  by the state to pay rent on the property they
• 1:27:31
  supposedly own. Otherwise, the house will get
• 1:27:33
  taken away. I mean, there's all these millions
• 1:27:35
  of ways that you're just getting rung like bar
• 1:27:38
  rags. And then people like Ali Robby turn around
• 1:27:41
  and Democrat state senator turn around and go.
• 1:27:44
  Man, you know, what's up with affordability?
• 1:27:46
  I want to spearhead this new symposium and I
• 1:27:49
  have this organization and I'm going to speak
• 1:27:50
  about how concerned I am, which I'm not saying
• 1:27:53
  she's not genuine. I'm just saying that the number
• 1:27:56
  one factor in all of this never gets addressed.
• 1:27:59
  Well, I would actually make the argument that
• 1:28:00
  none of it's genuine because if it was genuine,
• 1:28:02
  they would take the five whole minutes to dig
• 1:28:06
  a little deeper and find the common denominator.
• 1:28:09
  Just five whole minutes is all it would take.
• 1:28:11
  Or maybe 15 minutes to have a conversation with
• 1:28:15
  any developer and any guy in construction, any
• 1:28:18
  construction company owner. Whether they're a
• 1:28:22
  general contractor or a subcontractor, talk to
• 1:28:24
  any of them. Hey, what's the biggest thing holding
• 1:28:27
  you back? And you're going to get the answers.
• 1:28:31
  Something to do with labor, regulation. zoning
• 1:28:35
  laws, something to that effect. And any of those,
• 1:28:38
  if you dig deeper into any of those, it always
• 1:28:41
  boils down to rules, taxation, regulation, red
• 1:28:45
  tape. I'm pretty sure the person who was asked
• 1:28:49
  that question would not hesitate. I'm pretty
• 1:28:53
  sure they would just have the answer for you
• 1:28:55
  straight away. Hey man, employing somebody on
• 1:28:59
  the up is a sucker's game. because you as the
• 1:29:04
  employer spend almost 20 % more to employ them,
• 1:29:07
  you know, officially and they lose 20 % by being
• 1:29:10
  officially employed. It's a sucker's game. The
• 1:29:13
  only reason we would do it is because we're afraid
• 1:29:16
  of going to prison if they catch us for not doing
• 1:29:18
  it. Oh, I'm so gonna apply. The group plans to
• 1:29:29
  select three to five Idaho cities to work with
• 1:29:31
  expert consultants on local housing solutions,
• 1:29:34
  including potentially reviewing their zoning
• 1:29:36
  codes. Applications for that are due on October
• 1:29:38
  1st reporting in Boise. Yeah, there you go. Government
• 1:29:43
  is a jobs program. How much more money, how much
• 1:29:45
  money is going to be spent analyzing this that
• 1:29:48
  we could, we just did here for free and we came
• 1:29:50
  up with the right answer. They're going to spend
• 1:29:52
  millions analyzing this. It's a, ah, you cannot
• 1:29:56
  hate the state enough. It's just a jobs program.
• 1:29:58
  for people who hate you they do whether they
• 1:30:03
  know it themselves or not okay here is uh let's
• 1:30:07
  see one final one this was also sent in um value
• 1:30:11
  for value about panhandle health the highly credible
• 1:30:15
  and super useful organization known as Panhandle
• 1:30:18
  Health. Well, three top leaders at the Panhandle
• 1:30:20
  Health District have abruptly resigned. Here's
• 1:30:23
  what we know. Last night, the board accepted
• 1:30:26
  the resignations of Director Eric Kettner, Human
• 1:30:29
  Resources Specialist Sandy Briggs, and Financial
• 1:30:32
  Officer Christine Krummer. It's unclear why the
• 1:30:36
  three left. Board member Thomas Fletcher is now
• 1:30:41
  serving as interim director and will also oversee
• 1:30:44
  the district's fi serves five north Idaho c tracking
• 1:30:50
  infectious disea than 40 in the same way legal
• 1:30:55
  papers to appear in getting sued. That's how
• 1:30:59
  serves you. Hey, you got Well, not if we don't
• 1:31:07
  say the ones who shut down th Yeah, that was
• 1:31:13
  them. Yep. Yeah. Fuck you guys. Panhandle? Yeah,
• 1:31:18
  Panhandle Health. They're Kootenai and Bonner.
• 1:31:20
  They do multiple counties. Panhandle Health,
• 1:31:24
  my friend, that incorporates the Panhandle. I
• 1:31:27
  don't know how many districts it all encompasses,
• 1:31:29
  but they reach up here too. Thank you Panhandle
• 1:31:33
  Health for keeping us safe, closing down a little
• 1:31:36
  local coffee stand. We can breathe easier thanks
• 1:31:41
  to you Panhandle Health. Actually, that's a story
• 1:31:44
  that is worth telling. It basically was a younger
• 1:31:46
  gal in her late 20s who owns Bucking Beans in
• 1:31:48
  Sagal, Idaho. She saw an opportunity to put a
• 1:31:51
  second Bucking Bean coffee shop here in Clark
• 1:31:53
  Fork. She poured tens of thousands of dollars
• 1:31:55
  into renovating it and adding new equipment.
• 1:31:58
  Their high crime was selling pre -made snacks
• 1:32:02
  and foods, like little breakfast burritos and
• 1:32:04
  whatnot and things that you just heat up in the
• 1:32:05
  microwave and things. And they didn't. They weren't
• 1:32:07
  prepped on site. It was all pre -made stuff,
• 1:32:09
  simple stuff. Their high crime was selling food
• 1:32:12
  without a permit. And they required a particular
• 1:32:15
  kind of permit because they were on septic. But
• 1:32:17
  then after going through all of the rigamarole,
• 1:32:19
  it was determined that they weren't on the right
• 1:32:20
  kind of septic or that the septic system that
• 1:32:23
  they needed didn't exist underneath the building
• 1:32:25
  that was already there. And they couldn't do
• 1:32:27
  anything about it. So they weren't allowed to
• 1:32:30
  operate. They got red tagged and they never reopened.
• 1:32:34
  So this gal who took a huge risk and actually
• 1:32:38
  was for a few weeks when they were open, had
• 1:32:41
  a great response from the community. They were
• 1:32:43
  turning good business. And my daughter got to
• 1:32:44
  work for her for all of about three or four weeks
• 1:32:46
  and made good money and enjoyed her job as a
• 1:32:48
  barista and had a great time. And it was right
• 1:32:51
  three miles from our house, shut down, red tagged.
• 1:32:56
  Five people lost their part -time work and an
• 1:32:59
  owner lost tens of thousands of dollars. And
• 1:33:01
  it was Panhandle Health who did it because you're
• 1:33:04
  not allowed to do this thing unless you have
• 1:33:06
  the right septic system, even though they never
• 1:33:07
  put any food down the drain because they weren't
• 1:33:09
  making anything there. Government. So my daughter
• 1:33:15
  got a first row seat to what the government does
• 1:33:20
  to entrepreneurs and to businesses. This is a,
• 1:33:24
  this, this thing should have been an absolute
• 1:33:26
  nothing burger and they should never have had
• 1:33:27
  to deal with it. They should have been left alone
• 1:33:29
  to run their business. They hurt nobody. They
• 1:33:31
  hurt nothing. No health was at risk. No systems
• 1:33:34
  were at risk. There was nothing bad that could
• 1:33:37
  physically happen in the universe we inhabit,
• 1:33:40
  but they ran afoul of the state code and panhandle
• 1:33:44
  health. Yeah, so shutter the coffee stand fire
• 1:33:48
  the teenage employees Deport the guys putting
• 1:33:51
  up siding on residential houses and give the
• 1:33:54
  panhandle health people raises Public health
• 1:33:59
  programs the board released a statement shortly
• 1:34:01
  after saying mask up you stupid gray NPCs I think,
• 1:34:07
  wait, what did it really say? Approving the resignation
• 1:34:09
  saying that its leadership is, quote, going to
• 1:34:12
  continue to work to ensure a smooth transition
• 1:34:15
  and maintain uninterrupted delivery of essential
• 1:34:18
  public health. Thank God. They've deemed themselves
• 1:34:21
  essential. They are essential. It's just not
• 1:34:27
  the six people that they put out of work up here.
• 1:34:30
  in a depressed area, by the way, one that is
• 1:34:32
  considered by the government to be a depressed
• 1:34:34
  and economic depression zone. But hey, we kept
• 1:34:39
  everybody safe. Minus six jobs. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.
• 1:34:49
  Seal claps for everyone. Thank you so very deeply,
• 1:34:52
  Panhandle Health. Thank you to the producers
• 1:34:54
  who said that, once again, that was submitted.
• 1:34:56
  Thank you very much for keeping us in front of
• 1:34:58
  mind and sending stuff our way. That is not a
• 1:35:00
  story that I would have seen, by the way, because
• 1:35:02
  it was not on, I had to really dig for that clip.
• 1:35:07
  It was not easily findable. So it's not something
• 1:35:08
  I would have found on my own. I'd be curious
• 1:35:10
  if we get a follow up on that, if there's any
• 1:35:12
  reason why, or what maneuvering is going on,
• 1:35:15
  because the three people they rattled off are
• 1:35:17
  all died in the wool leftists. Sandy Riggs, her
• 1:35:20
  other name most of us know her by is Sandy Patano.
• 1:35:23
  She's married to Jack Riggs, whose son is Peter
• 1:35:27
  Riggs, and the Riggs Patano dynasty around here,
• 1:35:30
  they own all kinds of shit, and they're a big
• 1:35:32
  name, and they are a big part of the North Idaho
• 1:35:34
  Republican organization that has actively actively
• 1:35:39
  campaigned against anything and everything that
• 1:35:42
  is remotely conservative or libertarian. They
• 1:35:44
  are the face of the establishment around here
• 1:35:48
  in Sandpoint, Coeur d 'Alene. If it's establishment,
• 1:35:51
  especially if they call themselves conservative
• 1:35:53
  Republicans, but they're part of the establishment,
• 1:35:55
  there's links to the Patano -Riggs family. They're
• 1:35:58
  big shakers and movers. They like to, they sit
• 1:36:01
  on all the boards just like all their friends.
• 1:36:03
  I mean, everybody's related or they're friends
• 1:36:06
  or they're all in business together. They all
• 1:36:08
  sit on the boards, the Kootenai health board,
• 1:36:11
  the NIC boards, the Panhandle health boards,
• 1:36:14
  the 2020, the 2030 boards, the URD boards. They're
• 1:36:18
  all the same fucking people. So it's interesting
• 1:36:21
  to hear that three of them have resigned. This,
• 1:36:24
  you know what sounds like good news, but color
• 1:36:28
  me a skeptic because every time something like
• 1:36:29
  this happens, it's almost never because justice
• 1:36:32
  got served and it's almost always because they
• 1:36:34
  found some other legal loophole or some some
• 1:36:38
  lawfare maneuver that they could use to strengthen
• 1:36:41
  their stranglehold on the machinations of power
• 1:36:45
  around here. So keep a wary eye out on that.
• 1:36:51
  We will continue keeping an eye out and I hope
• 1:36:54
  there are follow ups on a lot of this stuff.
• 1:36:57
  Like that one, I mean, especially when they lead
• 1:36:59
  with like, oh, it's you know, there's there was
• 1:37:01
  no explanation given or, you know, a reason was
• 1:37:04
  not forthcoming. Hopefully that means a reason
• 1:37:06
  will come out at some point. That's probably
• 1:37:10
  they found some loophole where if they do something,
• 1:37:13
  some political, some legal maneuver, then they
• 1:37:16
  can come back on the board and get appointed
• 1:37:18
  for another seven years and never have to face
• 1:37:20
  an election. Whoops. Oh, yeah, of course. That's
• 1:37:25
  like that's how they do stuff. That's how they
• 1:37:27
  do things around here. While talking about democracy,
• 1:37:33
  by the way, that's always my favorite part. Conservatives
• 1:37:37
  and libertarians are a threat to democracy. People
• 1:37:40
  who want less government are a threat to democracy.
• 1:37:44
  And I'm thinking, well, actually, I guess you're
• 1:37:47
  right. Yeah, I am a threat to democracy because
• 1:37:49
  democracy is tyranny of the masses and I want
• 1:37:51
  nothing to do with it. And I want them to have
• 1:37:53
  the smallest weapon possible. kill me with. I
• 1:37:59
  remember reading once somebody said, just replace
• 1:38:02
  the word democracy with bureaucracy. And then
• 1:38:05
  all of their quotes will make sense. They're
• 1:38:07
  a threat to our bureaucracy. And they always
• 1:38:12
  say our to our legitimate our legitimate, our
• 1:38:15
  legitimate, essential bureaucracy. It's legal.
• 1:38:18
  It's all legal, baby. So it's moral and ethical.
• 1:38:21
  It's legal. Yep. Hey, let's all hang Bob all
• 1:38:25
  in favor. I all opposed just Bob It was legal
• 1:38:37
  just think of how savage it would have been if
• 1:38:40
  it had been marauders Instead of us. It could
• 1:38:43
  have been so much worse. Okay quickly absent
• 1:38:46
  and midwifery or hipster mosquitoes absent and
• 1:38:54
  midwifely. Okay, all right. Please remember us.
• 1:38:57
  Well, I don't know. You like the other one? They're
• 1:38:59
  both good. You pick then. All right, I'll pick.
