  No ID is meant for a sane audience. No ID may

  contain Liberty -oriented content. Pinko discretion
• 0:12
  is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci
• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Well, just ahead of D -Day,
• 0:25
  it's No ID. Welcome back. North Idaho's mainstream
• 0:29
  narrative deconstruction. I'm Scott. Hello, Internet.
• 0:33
  I'm Paul. Yes, D -Day, you say. What's interesting
• 0:37
  about that is there's about three different ironies
• 0:39
  to it and D -Day entailed an invasion, by the
• 0:42
  way. Throw that out there too, where we discuss
• 0:46
  the concept of D -Day put out by people who are
• 0:50
  trying to invade. I'm going to let you kick this
• 0:53
  off. It's a beautiful day. The sky is blue. It's
• 0:56
  gorgeous. The sun is out. It's lovely. I'm happy
• 0:59
  to be here. How are you doing, man? I'm doing
• 1:00
  awesome. I give this day an A. Forget a D, which
• 1:04
  is passing. No, I'm giving it an A. Get it? A
• 1:08
  plus. A plus. Yeah, it's been beautiful. Man,
• 1:12
  summer's here early and we've had the boat out
• 1:15
  already. You know, that thing that we're so stupid
• 1:17
  that we own because you could just have a friend
• 1:19
  with the boat. We took our own boat out. What
• 1:22
  do you think about that? I think you're stupid.
• 1:24
  I'm glad I have a friend with a boat. I'm not
• 1:29
  the one who has to worry about the Kootenai County
• 1:31
  wake laws. So. Yeah, I'm the smart one here.
• 1:36
  Restrictive. Restrictive. Restrictive. Yeah.
• 1:39
  I can only hear Leslie Duncan saying that in
• 1:41
  my head now whenever I go wide open throttle
• 1:43
  down the Spokane. Restrictive. You should. I
• 1:47
  don't have that on the soundboard. I need to
• 1:48
  add that. So D -Day. This is the, okay, I'm gonna,
• 1:54
  for proof, proof of physical existence of a newspaper
• 1:58
  that arrived in my mailbox yesterday. And as
• 2:01
  I've... feels like a full newspaper. And I sent
• 2:04
  Paul a picture of it because he did not receive
• 2:06
  one. I'm assuming because the senders of this
• 2:09
  paper saw a banducci and they were like, don't
• 2:12
  bother, skip that mailbox. I hope so. Save me
• 2:15
  the time. Although I could use it. It would be
• 2:17
  nice to have more fire starter for my wood stove.
• 2:21
  So this is it's called the Republican reader.
• 2:25
  and the headline across the top, they call it
• 2:28
  above the fold with the full color photo, the
• 2:32
  headline in bold D -Day is May 19 in Idaho. So
• 2:36
  that's the primary that's coming up for which
• 2:39
  almost no one shows up to vote and the result
• 2:43
  of which seems to actually matter. So it's the
• 2:46
  election numbers inversion where everyone shows
• 2:48
  up to vote for Cami or Donald. Which actually
• 2:52
  like doesn't affect your life nearly as much,
• 2:54
  even though everybody thinks it does. And nobody
• 2:56
  shows up for the Idaho Republican primary, which
• 2:59
  probably matters the most of everything. Is that
• 3:01
  an oversimplification? I'd say it's just about
• 3:06
  right. It's a midterm election. Republicans in
• 3:10
  the national level are probably going to get
• 3:12
  smacked around pretty good and hard. And they
• 3:15
  deserve to because those bastards passed giant
• 3:18
  ass pieces of legislation that nobody asked for
• 3:20
  and nobody wanted except for MAGA boomers. they
• 3:23
  passed kill switch stuff so now as of 2027 cars
• 3:27
  will have I can't believe this is even a real
• 3:30
  thing our own cars will be able to fully surveil
• 3:33
  us track us they might not turn on if the car
• 3:36
  determines us to be incapable of driving the
• 3:38
  the easy term for it is called is the kill switch
• 3:41
  that's what we're calling it they also passed
• 3:43
  or extended I should say FISA section 702 at
• 3:45
  the national level which is oh you guessed it
• 3:48
  more surveillance and crackdown and things when
• 3:51
  you use the Internet and your phone. And guess
• 3:53
  what's still also around the Patriot Act, the
• 3:55
  TSA, all the different things. So, yeah, Republicans
• 3:58
  deserve to lose. But at the local level, you
• 4:03
  are correct. In Idaho, they say the primary is
• 4:05
  the most important election. And that is true.
• 4:08
  It wouldn't be if the Democrats played cleanly.
• 4:12
  They probably carry 40 percent or 45 percent
• 4:14
  of the vote, a lot. throughout the whole state
• 4:17
  of Idaho, for sure. But instead what they've
• 4:20
  done is infiltrated the Republican Party, because
• 4:22
  it's a closed primary, meaning you have to be
• 4:24
  a registered Republican to vote in the Republican
• 4:26
  primary. So what they're doing is putting up
• 4:29
  candidates, putting an R next to their name,
• 4:33
  R for Republican, and then saying, vote for us.
• 4:36
  This guy is a true blue conservative. They're
• 4:38
  not, but they're saying they are. And the low
• 4:41
  information voter. is easily confused and might
• 4:44
  check the box for a not Republican Republican,
• 4:46
  but they see the R next to the name, they check
• 4:48
  the box. It's an off cycle election too. So there
• 4:51
  will be a smaller turnout. Every vote really
• 4:53
  does matter. But it is, you know, they always
• 4:56
  say, this is the most important election of our
• 4:58
  lifetime. Well, I suppose every election is the
• 5:01
  most important election of our lifetime. It's
• 5:03
  existential. Yeah. This primary election is,
• 5:07
  it is important for local ramifications. quite
• 5:12
  important and it will be a low turnout. So every
• 5:16
  vote matters. Before I quickly describe what
• 5:19
  this newspaper is all about, it was sent by the
• 5:22
  NIR, the North Idaho Republicans. So the irony
• 5:25
  of the D -Day is May 19 in Idaho. The irony of
• 5:31
  them. For Democrats, baby. Right. Yes, it is
• 5:33
  D -Day. And like you said, it's an invasion.
• 5:35
  So this is the perfect, the truth wants to come
• 5:37
  out. It's D -Day. So here are the Rs that we
• 5:41
  say you should vote for. Let me just say quickly
• 5:44
  about the kill switch in the cars. I don't know
• 5:48
  what you're, you know, as long as you keep your
• 5:50
  social credit score up, your car will start just
• 5:51
  fine. What are you complaining about? You're
• 5:54
  right. I should never have thought thoughts against
• 5:59
  the party. That's my bad. If I was a true partisan
• 6:05
  who loved his country and had nothing to hide,
• 6:08
  I would let the government shut down my car when
• 6:12
  they want. If I have nothing to hide, I have
• 6:14
  nothing to fear. Right? So for the glory of the
• 6:18
  motherland, I will take my foot off the gas pedal.
• 6:22
  I will put my foot on the brake and I will hunker
• 6:27
  down in place and wait for the nuclear weapons
• 6:29
  to go off. Everybody in the first row stand up.
• 6:37
  The North Idaho Republican sent a full newspaper.
• 6:41
  It feels probably 20 pages long. Feels like a
• 6:43
  real paper. And yeah, D -Day is May 19th in Idaho.
• 6:46
  Why this year's election can be a turning point
• 6:48
  for North Idaho. The entire paper presents all
• 6:53
  of the North Idaho Republican candidates that
• 6:55
  are Democrats, like Chris DeHazel, for example,
• 6:58
  who has a full page. The second... second page
• 7:01
  when you open it, you see there's her mug and
• 7:03
  her Christopher CDA as the scrappy underdogs.
• 7:08
  The North Idaho Republicans are... Wait, what
• 7:10
  did you say? Where did you see that one sentence
• 7:12
  about, you know, like a return to... What did
• 7:15
  you say it was? Where did you see it? Oh, where
• 7:17
  was it? Shoot. No, I don't know where it was.
• 7:23
  But basically the idea here is they always like
• 7:25
  to paint themselves as the scrappy underdogs.
• 7:27
  And it's ludicrous to put out a paper of this
• 7:30
  size, scope, and magnitude, and this depth and
• 7:33
  comprehension. This is expensive. This is not
• 7:35
  a cheap endeavor. All the mailers that go out,
• 7:37
  they are not cheap endeavors. All of the paid
• 7:39
  ads that are out on Facebook right now, there
• 7:41
  is a lot of money behind this. These are not
• 7:43
  the underdogs. And then if you look at their
• 7:44
  candidates, they're all connected to the big
• 7:49
  cabals, cartels, whatever you want to call them.
• 7:52
  Pick a town, Coeur d 'Alene, Moscow, Sandpoint,
• 7:55
  Boise, pick a town, figure out who's in charge
• 7:58
  of that town who owns the most property, who's
• 8:01
  on the city councils, all that kind of crap.
• 8:04
  And they're all connected to these people. So
• 8:07
  they are the establishment. They are the status
• 8:10
  quo. The candidates they're running are status
• 8:13
  quo candidates. Oh, and as far as Krista Hazel
• 8:16
  goes, she's a known Democrat operative. She's
• 8:20
  donated time and money to full blown Democrat
• 8:25
  campaigns, presidential campaigns too. And done
• 8:28
  so very publicly. This stuff is all very easy
• 8:30
  to find. It's all out there, very easily clickable.
• 8:34
  Now listen, like if you're a Democrat, okay,
• 8:36
  totally back your player. I get it that it makes
• 8:38
  sense. Like you're back who you're going to back,
• 8:41
  support who you're going to support. Fly your
• 8:43
  freak flag, baby. Okay. But what just calls me
• 8:47
  to no end is these leftists, and they are leftists,
• 8:50
  all of them, masquerading as conservative Republicans.
• 8:56
  They actually even have a case. I'll even grant
• 8:58
  them this. Dig this, Scott. I'll even grant them
• 9:01
  this. Compared to Republicans at the national
• 9:05
  level, these NIR, N -I -R types don't look all
• 9:12
  that different from a lot of them. They really
• 9:14
  do look like Massachusetts Republicans. They
• 9:18
  look like New York Republicans. They look like
• 9:19
  a Chicago Republican, but we all know that Massachusetts,
• 9:23
  Chicago, New York Republicans are all basically
• 9:27
  an Oklahoma socialist. It's all relative depending
• 9:33
  on where you're at, but they are all leftists.
• 9:36
  They are not Idaho Republicans, and they are
• 9:39
  certainly not conservative. Here's I think the
• 9:42
  sentence that you were right before we went to
• 9:44
  enter went to air here the for years most of
• 9:48
  these PC races have gone Uncontested the precinct
• 9:51
  committee men races have gone uncontested. However,
• 9:53
  this year nearly every precinct on the ballot
• 9:54
  will offer a choice Challenging the status quo
• 9:58
  that has long dictated our GOP leadership and
• 10:01
  as you said they are the status quo Yeah, they
• 10:05
  are the status quo. They're just not in full
• 10:08
  power. Their power has been challenged over the
• 10:10
  last 10 years. And man, they are big mad about
• 10:13
  it. I'd say 15 years now. I think around 2010
• 10:15
  is when true conservatives started to win some
• 10:21
  elections in North Idaho. And boy, are they big
• 10:25
  mad about it. 12, 15 years later, they're throwing
• 10:29
  everything at it. And they will continue to do
• 10:31
  so for a while until either they are constantly
• 10:34
  rebuffed or they take charge. And you'll know
• 10:38
  one way or the other, if they are rebuffed again,
• 10:41
  and maybe again, you know, in two years from
• 10:43
  now, what they'll probably do is come, they'll
• 10:46
  go away for six months or a year, and they'll
• 10:48
  come back up as a different organization. NIR
• 10:51
  might go away, and a different one will pop up
• 10:54
  in its place, because that's what they've done
• 10:56
  for the last 15, 16 years, if 20 years really,
• 10:59
  is they've just, they've just morphed. From name
• 11:02
  to name organization to organization with slight
• 11:05
  variations of who's involved but not a whole
• 11:07
  lot of variation and every Four to six years.
• 11:11
  It's a new variation and they morph again. So
• 11:15
  that's Potential what's the word? I won't result
• 11:20
  I guess a and then potential result B is if they
• 11:23
  do if they win Then things will quiet down from
• 11:26
  their end and they won't complain as much and
• 11:27
  they won't be as loud and obnoxious Because they're
• 11:29
  in charge again and they're happy Well, the tried
• 11:33
  and true tactic of popping back up under an alias
• 11:36
  goes back quite a way. Just ask Vladimir Ilyich
• 11:40
  Ulyanov. You know what I'm saying, comrade? Well,
• 11:46
  as long as we're on the importance of the local
• 11:49
  stuff, which I guess the older you get... The
• 11:51
  more you harp on that, it's like when you're
• 11:54
  18, you're like, I'm going to vote for George
• 11:56
  Bush and man, I'll be making a difference today.
• 11:58
  And then the older you get, the more you're just
• 12:00
  like, man, your your neighborhood watch guy who
• 12:03
  lives on your cul -de -sac, the board of the
• 12:05
  neighborhood watchman, that's as important as
• 12:07
  it gets. I say that's that's if you grow up,
• 12:10
  it's not necessarily the older you get, it's
• 12:12
  if you grow up. There are lots and lots and lots
• 12:16
  of people aged 40 to 80 who are like. This presidential
• 12:21
  election is the most important election of our
• 12:23
  lifetime. I thought it was four years ago. It
• 12:25
  was four years ago, and now it is again. And
• 12:28
  it's like, yeah, but, you know, Trump, yeah,
• 12:31
  he's fucked a lot of stuff up. But the people
• 12:33
  who ruin my life the most are the county commissioners
• 12:37
  45 minutes away. I guess you don't necessarily
• 12:40
  have to grow up. I remember once saying, like,
• 12:42
  I want to be an artist when I grow up. And my
• 12:43
  dad was like, you can't have it both ways. I'm
• 12:47
  not sure if you caught this. Thanks dad. I'm
• 12:49
  not sure if you caught this out of Rathrum just
• 12:51
  from yesterday. We start at this hour in North
• 12:54
  Idaho where Rathrum Mayor Mike Hill abruptly
• 12:56
  resigned over the weekend. Graham 2's Regan Gallo
• 12:59
  spoke with a city administrator to find out what
• 13:01
  happened and the next steps for the city. City
• 13:04
  of Rathrum officials confirmed with Creme 2 News
• 13:07
  that they received the resignation letter of
• 13:09
  Mayor Mike Hill yesterday afternoon. Now this
• 13:12
  move by the mayor is just one day after an alleged
• 13:16
  incident that he was allegedly involved in that
• 13:19
  law enforcement officials are calling a domestic
• 13:22
  battery incident. In the letter, Hill wrote,
• 13:26
  Please accept this email as formal notice of
• 13:28
  my resignation from my position as mayor of the
• 13:31
  city of Rathrum effective immediately. I am grateful
• 13:34
  for the opportunity to serve, serve, serve the
• 13:36
  residents of Rathdrum and appreciate the trust
• 13:39
  placed in me during my time in office. Today,
• 13:43
  City Administrator Leon Deuce tells me the City
• 13:45
  Council's President John Hodgkins will take over
• 13:48
  the executive role until the City Council can
• 13:50
  meet in person to decide on next steps. We still
• 13:54
  have four elected officials that are at the helm.
• 13:58
  And they will do everything in their power to
• 14:01
  make sure that it's still running their direction
• 14:03
  that it should be running. But for a lot of us,
• 14:08
  we will work hard to keep things as business
• 14:11
  as usual during the absence of a mayor. Law enforcement.
• 14:15
  I wonder if they've considered actually, how
• 14:18
  about the rest of you just also resign? You know,
• 14:20
  I wonder what would happen. You think the city
• 14:22
  of Rathrum would cease to exist? As we know it,
• 14:27
  yes, but as a place where people live and figure
• 14:30
  stuff out? No. Although, I gotta admit, it's
• 14:35
  pretty noble of that guy to take the demotion
• 14:37
  to go from president of the council to just mayor.
• 14:42
  Good job, guy. Way to take the demotion like
• 14:44
  a champ. I wonder, as for the former mayor, kind
• 14:49
  of seems like maybe he's a bit of a bender type,
• 14:51
  you know. It doesn't give any more details, though,
• 14:54
  but Immediately when it was some vague accusation
• 14:58
  of domestic abuse, I immediately thought. There's
• 15:04
  a little bit more on this clip. But for a lot
• 15:06
  of us, we will work hard to keep things as business
• 15:10
  as usual during the absence of a mayor. Law enforcement
• 15:14
  officials report that on Saturday, the Rathdrum
• 15:17
  Police Department requested the Kootenai County
• 15:19
  Sheriff's Office to respond and investigate a
• 15:22
  domestic battery incident due to a potential
• 15:24
  conflict of interest. Officials say the incident
• 15:27
  involved the rathdrum mayor Mike Hill. The sheriff's
• 15:31
  office confirmed there is an active investigation.
• 15:34
  Creme 2 News asked for more details, but we were
• 15:36
  told no further comment will be made at this
• 15:38
  time. Today, we were also denied a public records
• 15:41
  request for the alleged domestic battery incident.
• 15:45
  I am told it is anticipated that City Council
• 15:47
  will discuss next steps at their next meeting
• 15:50
  on May 27th. So we have no details. We're just
• 15:55
  told the mayor potentially did a bad and he's
• 15:59
  resigning. Yep. Right. That's that's it. No,
• 16:02
  you did not. You summed it up. Okay. Moving along.
• 16:07
  Yeah, right. There's no there isn't anything
• 16:09
  else to it. It's it's notable in that the mayor
• 16:13
  resigned amidst these allegations. So it felt
• 16:16
  noteworthy. But you're right. Nobody knows anything.
• 16:18
  And I do like the part where the public were
• 16:20
  like, hey, these are public records. And they're
• 16:23
  like, hmm, nah. Nah, I didn't know you could
• 16:26
  do that. Honestly, I thought sounds like a FOIA
• 16:29
  request is incoming. If somebody cares enough.
• 16:32
  It's like, well, we okay. Well, yeah, sure. We
• 16:34
  will grant the FOIA request, but it's just going
• 16:36
  to be like 12 black bars down the page because
• 16:40
  every letter is redacted. It's just going to
• 16:42
  be like Epstein, the Epstein files. Yeah. The
• 16:46
  only you yada yada yada over the best part. The
• 16:49
  only part that matters is not there. Oh, man.
• 16:53
  Excuse me. I'd like to inquire about public records
• 16:56
  on this public official. How about now? Oh, OK,
• 17:00
  then. Well, but we technically we granted it
• 17:03
  for you. I mean, we did give you the records.
• 17:05
  Yeah. But you you blacked out the only part that
• 17:07
  mattered. Yeah. But we gave it to you. That was
• 17:10
  the best thing. Kicking it back up to the federal
• 17:13
  level for a minute. The obscene files finally
• 17:14
  get released. Every every single page is redacted.
• 17:20
  But then the best part was whoever whoever set
• 17:23
  that up Didn't realize that you could go back
• 17:26
  in and somebody figured out how to get around
• 17:29
  it You could go back in and like get through
• 17:31
  it or around it based on the software they used
• 17:33
  and they did and then they released it I actually
• 17:35
  have them I have them and it's spread all over
• 17:38
  the internet. It's fantastic. I'll email it to
• 17:40
  you if you want. It's pretty great stuff In the
• 17:43
  meantime, state officials want public input on
• 17:46
  how Idaho should prioritize spending opioid settlement
• 17:49
  funds for the upcoming fiscal year. Here's James
• 17:52
  Dawson with more. Past priorities have included
• 17:55
  prevention programs, treatment and recovery along
• 17:58
  with workforce development. Ross Edmonds, who
• 18:00
  co -chairs the Idaho Behavioral Health Council,
• 18:03
  says a ruling from the state attorney general's
• 18:05
  office requires them to only use the funds for
• 18:08
  opioid related projects. There certainly have
• 18:11
  been requests for programming that is across
• 18:17
  substance use disorders, but we've really tried
• 18:19
  to limit this and say this is specifically and
• 18:22
  focused exclusively on opioids. Idaho has received
• 18:27
  about 73 million dollars so far from pharmaceutical
• 18:30
  companies accused of fueling the country's opioid
• 18:32
  crisis. State and local governments each receive
• 18:35
  40 % of those funds while public health districts
• 18:38
  are given the remaining 20%. Residents have until
• 18:42
  June 5th to submit their fee. So the people who
• 18:45
  are individually and directly impacted by opioid
• 18:48
  issues don't get any of that money. The state
• 18:52
  gets that money. Officialdom pushes opiates in
• 19:00
  all of the capacities that officialdom can do
• 19:02
  so for like 30 years or whatever the number is.
• 19:05
  And then when it turns out that heroin is addictive,
• 19:10
  who could have thunk it, officialdom gets the
• 19:13
  money back from the private enterprises, like
• 19:16
  a tiny fraction of the profits that the private
• 19:19
  enterprises made via officialdom's pushing of
• 19:21
  the product. Do I have that about right? Yeah.
• 19:25
  And it doesn't even go to the individual victims,
• 19:29
  I guess would probably be the proper term, I
• 19:30
  suppose. Users is really what I think is the
• 19:32
  appropriate term. No, no. It goes to the government,
• 19:35
  to the state. That's right up there with the
• 19:41
  very brand new things. Again, I'm sorry, I'm
• 19:43
  kicking it back up to the federal level just
• 19:44
  for a second, but it's a great comparison. It's
• 19:46
  like all of the businesses lining up for refunds
• 19:48
  from the tariffs that have now been ruled largely
• 19:51
  unconstitutional. And only a few people have
• 19:55
  even hesitated to ask, so are consumers going
• 20:00
  to get any of that? Or just the businesses who,
• 20:03
  because consumers don't get to line up for it.
• 20:05
  There's no, there's no place where we can go
• 20:07
  online to fed .org and be like, yes, I overpaid
• 20:10
  for gas this month. Can I have my hundred dollars
• 20:13
  back? Nope. Nope. Just, just corporations. Well,
• 20:21
  corporations are people, right? Didn't they make
• 20:23
  that ruling a bit ago? Yeah. Corporations are
• 20:25
  people. So it all checks out. Checks out. Nothing
• 20:31
  more to see here. We called, we investigated,
• 20:33
  they said there was no fraud. No! We believe
• 20:36
  them. Residents have until June 5th to submit
• 20:39
  their feedback to the council. And then the council,
• 20:42
  by June 6th, will reject all feedback and do
• 20:44
  whatever the hell they want. The group hopes
• 20:47
  to vote on recommendations later that month.
• 20:49
  State legislators will have the final say on
• 20:51
  how to spend the money during the upcoming session
• 20:54
  next January. Of course they will. The lawmaker's
• 20:59
  burrito supreme leaders. Lawmakers. You know
• 21:03
  what our Chalupa supreme leaders never ever seem
• 21:06
  to have in their bag of tricks or in there. It's
• 21:08
  like it's a multiple choice question and there
• 21:11
  might be 20 different choices. You know, you've
• 21:13
  got a through W or whatever, but you know what
• 21:16
  never shows up as an answer ever give the money
• 21:20
  back. That's not an option. The people just,
• 21:25
  I don't know. I don't know how you would, in
• 21:28
  this case, I don't know how you would do it because
• 21:29
  it's not tax dollars, but maybe you go down.
• 21:32
  I'm sure I don't know. If there's got to be some
• 21:34
  record, they keep the stats. So there's some
• 21:37
  record of how many people, again, I hate using
• 21:39
  this word because I think we make our own choices.
• 21:42
  So victim's not the word I want to use. User,
• 21:45
  a user of opioids where it has negatively impacted
• 21:48
  their life and give them the damn money or something.
• 21:51
  I don't know. Or instead of giving them just
• 21:53
  cash money, maybe give them a complimentary gift
• 21:58
  basket that's just full of Narcan sticks. That
• 22:02
  would still be a better use of the money than
• 22:04
  letting the government keep it. Well, you don't
• 22:06
  understand, man. They need the money. We need
• 22:08
  this money. Yeah, actually, you're right. Because
• 22:11
  if they didn't have that extra 73 million that
• 22:13
  they're not sure how to spend, but they're going
• 22:15
  to figure out a way to spend it, it would literally
• 22:18
  kill people. It would probably kill those opioid
• 22:20
  users. Literally. Yeah, the state having that
• 22:24
  73 million is what's keeping Idaho opioid users
• 22:26
  alive. I did hear from Matt Todd when he caught
• 22:32
  finally some of the Wintrow clips on our show.
• 22:35
  And he was like, Oh, we finally got some feedback.
• 22:37
  He just started texting me the word literally.
• 22:42
  He was like, I can't believe she was so willing
• 22:44
  to say this stuff out loud. I was like, you can't,
• 22:46
  you can't believe it. Dude, the Democrat bubble
• 22:50
  dwelling Democrats dream of consciousness. It's
• 22:52
  I wouldn't believe it if she could hold it in.
• 22:55
  She doesn't even know that there's something
• 22:56
  to hold in. That's the beauty of freedom of speech
• 22:59
  and why I will defend it forever and ever and
• 23:01
  ever is Because you got to let people who have
• 23:05
  terrible ideas You've got to give them the space
• 23:07
  to say those terrible ideas out loud because
• 23:09
  I think one of the best ways to combat God -awful
• 23:12
  terrible ideas is to let the people who espouse
• 23:15
  them tell the truth and Say it out loud and then
• 23:18
  you get the opportunity to be like, okay now
• 23:20
  what we have here isn't failure to communicate
• 23:22
  It's just plain stupidity Let's see, what do
• 23:28
  I have on my thing here that's very plainly stupid?
• 23:34
  Let's go back to that mailer from NIR. Oh my
• 23:36
  gosh, talk about plain stupid. Man, okay, looking
• 23:39
  at that, it's so them too. It's so on brand because
• 23:42
  you can almost hear the American national anthem
• 23:45
  in the background when you look at the front
• 23:46
  page. It's all, it's the American flag in a mosaic
• 23:49
  with pictures of our glorious Chalupa Supreme
• 23:52
  Leader, leader, leaders, all looking happy while
• 23:55
  they leader, leader, lead the state. and everybody's
• 23:59
  smiling and in suits and ties and so clean and
• 24:01
  crisp and America. And it's so overt that if
• 24:09
  you have any scrap of sense at all, you look
• 24:13
  at that and you can't not roll your eyes. I look
• 24:16
  at this and I just go, my God, this is what it
• 24:19
  looks like when you cosplay as a conservative.
• 24:21
  This is what they think conservative looks like
• 24:25
  now. when what they're really doing is this is
• 24:28
  probably what conservative looks like in the
• 24:29
  early 2000s, but it's not what it looks like
• 24:31
  now. They're cosplaying. Krista Hazel was spotted
• 24:36
  in Black Bay Park sort of like dancing about,
• 24:39
  you know, she was larping along with a bunch
• 24:41
  of other NIR people as a Republican. So they
• 24:47
  had a functional nuclear family? Were they athletic
• 24:52
  and in shape? Yeah. It's far, far right. And
• 24:56
  being a chief. Did they pray before they ate
• 24:58
  their lunch? Let's go in the opposite direction
• 25:04
  of the nuclear family and cover. I'm trying to
• 25:08
  think of where to start. Something about Medicaid.
• 25:10
  Well, well, close people who, well, not really.
• 25:14
  Eh, whatever. The ACLU of Idaho. I was just trying,
• 25:16
  I'm trying to think about where to start it.
• 25:18
  Cause I have like three different versions of
• 25:20
  the mainstream coverage of this. And I think
• 25:23
  I want to start it with NPR. The ACLU of Idaho
• 25:25
  has filed a lawsuit against the state's latest
• 25:28
  anti -transgender bathroom bill. Julie Luketa
• 25:31
  has more. Now it's an anti -transgender bathroom,
• 25:35
  which is sort of weird. So now are they advocating
• 25:39
  for transgender bathrooms specifically? I don't
• 25:43
  know, but they went backwards because trans ban
• 25:45
  was way catchier. Yeah, I mean they're usually
• 25:48
  pretty good at branding, but they're they're
• 25:50
  they're morphing this one on the daily But now
• 25:52
  it's it's an anti -transgender bathroom latest
• 25:56
  anti -transgender bathroom pill Julie Lucchetta
• 25:59
  has more what does that make any sense to you?
• 26:02
  What is that phrase? Nope? Okay? Well here. Here's
• 26:05
  the here's Julie Luke. We have a new pronunciation
• 26:07
  of Julie Lucchetta this week Julie Lucchetta
• 26:10
  has more Julie Lucchetta, so if you remember
• 26:12
  last week Julie Lucchetta Julie Luqueta. I thought
• 26:15
  it was, uh, isn't it like Luquita? Uh, Julie,
• 26:18
  her, here's how she says it. Julie Luqueta. Julie
• 26:21
  Uqueta. So this week, this week it's Julie Luqueta.
• 26:26
  Julie Luqueta. And last week it was Julie Luqueta.
• 26:30
  Julie Luqueta. Julie Luqueta. Julie Luqueta.
• 26:33
  And how it's actually pronounced. Julie Luqueta.
• 26:36
  I look forward to next week's. So what it'll
• 26:37
  be, it'll be the, uh, it'll be anti -trans humanity
• 26:42
  bill. and it'll be Julie Loquita. Julie Frittata
• 26:48
  reporting. Julie Loquita has more. On the genocide
• 26:51
  of transsexual bathrooms. Under HB 752, people
• 26:56
  who use public restrooms that do not align with
• 26:59
  their birth sex can face felony charges and five
• 27:02
  years in prison for a second offense. The lawsuit
• 27:06
  filed Wednesday says the bill puts people under
• 27:09
  surveillance in places where privacy is - Oh,
• 27:12
  now they're concerned about surveillance. In
• 27:14
  this case, very concerned. Privacy is expected
• 27:17
  for everyone. Cal Olson, an attorney for the
• 27:21
  plaintiffs, says it also exposes trans people
• 27:24
  to harassment. This law leaves transgender people
• 27:27
  in the impossible and exhausting position of
• 27:30
  trying to determine what is allowed on a daily
• 27:33
  basis almost anywhere in their public lives.
• 27:36
  Uh -huh. I mean, you kind of did that to yourself
• 27:39
  when you decided to be the thing you weren't
• 27:41
  and embrace your mental illness. That's sort
• 27:44
  of on you, Boo. I'll leave and take it a, I'll
• 27:48
  pull up on the grounded Kootenay heli even further
• 27:52
  above the canopy and say, what about the part
• 27:55
  where You actually love what you just described,
• 27:59
  asshole attorney guy. This law leaves transgender
• 28:01
  people in the impossible and exhausting position
• 28:04
  of trying to determine what is allowed on a daily
• 28:07
  basis almost anywhere in their public lives.
• 28:10
  That was the world, or many parts of it, from
• 28:14
  2020 through 2022, was the exhaustive daily what
• 28:19
  is allowed and what isn't and what the hell is
• 28:21
  this reality around me. And where were you a
• 28:24
  civil rights attorney asshole? Were you defending
• 28:27
  any of the same people who went like, hey man,
• 28:30
  what happened to reality? Can we just like get
• 28:32
  back to it? Nah, you weren't doing any of that.
• 28:35
  So I can't come to any other conclusion other
• 28:37
  than you love what you just described. Except
• 28:40
  for when they don't. Except for when they don't.
• 28:43
  I'll give you just here's a quick. Where is this?
• 28:47
  Pulled up a little bit about this guy. Scroll
• 28:50
  up. Didn't sound like a guy. Why are you gay?
• 28:54
  OK, his name is Kel Olson is a significant regional
• 28:59
  and national LGBTQ civil rights attorney. So
• 29:02
  he's real into civil rights, but just couldn't
• 29:04
  tell that from their voice. In extremely specific
• 29:08
  circumstances, is this person concerned with
• 29:11
  civil rights? He's especially prominent in Idaho's
• 29:14
  recent anti -trans legal battle. So even even
• 29:16
  Chachi BD frames it as anti -trans. So there's
• 29:19
  baked in propaganda courtesy of the Internet.
• 29:22
  He is not trying. pro children. It's the same
• 29:26
  thing when they talk about like anti -abortion.
• 29:28
  It's like, or, or I'm pro choice. Oh, so you're
• 29:32
  for the slaughter of children or like, or you're
• 29:35
  anti -abortion. It's like, yes, I am anti the
• 29:37
  murder of children, but better yet, let's put
• 29:39
  it this way. I'm pro kids. Like hashtag let kids
• 29:43
  live. It's all, it's everything is inverted.
• 29:46
  You know, that's the, the, my body, my choice
• 29:48
  crowd were like, well, uh, there's another body.
• 29:51
  like have you considered that argument that there's
• 29:54
  another body but then when it actually just is
• 29:56
  your body and pharma wants to hold you down they're
• 29:58
  like oh yeah no it's um because you're unclean
• 30:01
  it's literally everything this affects everyone
• 30:04
  you don't get the jab grandma will die but if
• 30:07
  you kill your baby it doesn't harm anyone at
• 30:10
  all brought to you by pfizer kel olson He works
• 30:15
  with Lambda Legal. So I said, did Cal or Lambda
• 30:18
  Legal litigate any civil rights violations regarding
• 30:21
  government authoritarianism, quote, during COVID?
• 30:24
  There's no evidence that Lambda Legal or Kel
• 30:26
  Olson became a legal force specifically challenging
• 30:29
  COVID era lockdowns, vaccine mandates, or broader
• 30:31
  pandemic emergency powers in the way that some
• 30:34
  civil liberties or conservative legal groups
• 30:36
  did. What they did litigate during the COVID
• 30:38
  period, they focused heavily on anti -discrimination,
• 30:41
  especially LGBTQ plus healthcare issues, HHS
• 30:46
  non -discrimination enforcement, protection of
• 30:48
  vulnerable populations during COVID challenges
• 30:50
  to Trump and blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so
• 30:52
  in other words, I thought everybody was part
• 30:54
  of the vulnerable population during COVID. That's
• 30:56
  why they made us all mask up and stay home. Seems
• 30:59
  like that's what happened. But maybe we're misremembering
• 31:02
  it. I don't know. Maybe none of that ever happened.
• 31:04
  Not really sure. Maybe the simulation has been
• 31:06
  has been reset. I don't think so. I was there,
• 31:09
  Gandalf. Three thousand years ago, I was there.
• 31:13
  So what they specifically what they did not do.
• 31:17
  They did not lead any lawsuits against stay at
• 31:20
  home orders, mask mandates, vaccine mandates,
• 31:22
  lockdown executive authority, federal COVID emergency
• 31:25
  powers as unconstitutional overreach. So in other
• 31:28
  words, when real discrimination flared up and
• 31:32
  they went, hey, member of the general public,
• 31:35
  show your papers or you can't go to a restaurant.
• 31:37
  These people were nowhere to be found. Do you
• 31:40
  really care about discrimination? Do you really
• 31:43
  care about civil rights? What do you actually
• 31:45
  care about? Kel Olson and Lam DeLegal. Am I supposed
• 31:52
  to answer that? This law leaves transgender people
• 31:55
  in the impossible and exhausting position of
• 31:58
  trying to determine what is allowed on a daily
• 32:01
  basis, almost anywhere in their public lives.
• 32:04
  The law applies to all governmental buildings
• 32:06
  and places of public accommodation, including
• 32:10
  private businesses. Speaking at a press conference.
• 32:13
  Now, that is where I disagree. They have a point
• 32:16
  there. And I would. I would back them on that
• 32:20
  because now there's a very clear and defined
• 32:22
  line, private businesses, private property. If
• 32:25
  I'm a business owner, I have a right to put whatever
• 32:28
  Dr. Seuss bullshit kind of bathrooms in my place
• 32:31
  I want to. And you have a right to use them or
• 32:34
  not, or patronize me or not. It's that simple.
• 32:36
  It really is that simple. Now, when we were talking
• 32:38
  government property that I don't think should
• 32:42
  exist, but it does, well, then whatever the law
• 32:45
  of the land is, obviously you got to... It has
• 32:49
  to apply to government property. Public spaces,
• 32:52
  which are, I mean, it's when I say public spaces,
• 32:55
  I suppose that would be anything that's not private
• 32:57
  property, so it's publicly funded. Yeah, you
• 33:00
  don't have a right to, you know, flop your wiener
• 33:02
  out in front of my daughter when my daughter's
• 33:04
  in the girl's bathroom. You just don't. But in
• 33:06
  somebody else's business, I suppose you do. And
• 33:09
  then I have a right to be like, well, I'm never
• 33:12
  coming here again. See ya. Well, not only that,
• 33:14
  if that exact situation happened, I'm... might
• 33:17
  be liable to go Ryan McClintock on the business's
• 33:20
  windows. Just the business's windows? I might
• 33:23
  go Ryan McClintock on some people. For legal
• 33:28
  reasons, these are jokes. I don't like violence.
• 33:33
  We've asked this question before, and it's really
• 33:36
  the overarching question as we continue to harp
• 33:38
  on. Is liberty a value? Is it a value? If the
• 33:43
  second you start going, well, yeah, I mean, sure,
• 33:45
  yeah, private businesses, but, you know, you
• 33:48
  should have the liberty to do what you want in
• 33:49
  your establishment. But in this instance, but
• 33:51
  what about indoor smoking? Well, I don't like
• 33:53
  cigarette smoke. It's unhealthy for your employees.
• 33:56
  You should have the right to, you know, conduct
• 33:59
  your business as you want, but there can't be
• 34:01
  buts. As soon as you introduce a but, there's
• 34:05
  no caveats. It's just a blanket statement. And
• 34:07
  the second you introduce The first, but as reasonable
• 34:11
  as it might sound to you in your head, you don't
• 34:13
  stand for liberty. Correct. And that's something
• 34:17
  that's a drum I've been beating for a long time,
• 34:19
  Scott. It's not a long time is so complicated.
• 34:22
  That's what I argue with. Actually, I argue more
• 34:25
  with conservatives, people on the right over
• 34:27
  this than I do with people on the left. People
• 34:29
  on the left do tend to be in this regard a little
• 34:32
  more consistent. They'll just straight up tell
• 34:35
  you that they think the state is the answer to
• 34:37
  everything. They don't necessarily say it in
• 34:39
  that exact fashion, but they carry the thread
• 34:41
  throughout everything they do. Meanwhile, a lot
• 34:44
  of conservatives, particularly MAGA type conservatives,
• 34:47
  will be the first ones to rant and rail against
• 34:50
  the ATF, for example, or federal taxes, or this,
• 34:54
  that, or the other. But they're the first ones
• 34:56
  to. back the blue locally when the local cops
• 34:59
  are just as bad or worse. Who do you think is
• 35:02
  the first ones on the line to come and arrest
• 35:05
  you for jaywalking or for not paying your taxes
• 35:08
  or for whatever thing the state conjures up?
• 35:11
  It's the local cops. That's who comes to get
• 35:13
  you. But MAGA is like, yeah, screw the ATF, but
• 35:15
  back the blue. Screw federal taxes. But that's
• 35:19
  crazy talk to get rid of property taxes. You
• 35:22
  like roads, don't you? They also are the ones
• 35:25
  who say, You know, I have my rights, but we should
• 35:29
  keep weed illegal You know and poker illegal
• 35:33
  too and alcohol laws are something that protect
• 35:37
  protect us and Usually it's I believe in freedom,
• 35:41
  but And then I just go you don't then you don't
• 35:45
  believe in freedom the moment you put a qualifier
• 35:47
  or a caveat on it Then freedom is to you. It's
• 35:51
  not a principle. It's a preference Now we're
• 35:55
  dealing in preferences and opinions. And that's
• 35:59
  a really important distinction, because most
• 36:00
  people would tell you that it's a principle to
• 36:03
  them, but it's not. It's preferences and opinions.
• 36:05
  And the difference between preferences and opinions
• 36:07
  and principle is that preferences and opinions
• 36:10
  change situationally. They're situational things.
• 36:13
  Principle carries the thread throughout, even
• 36:16
  if it means self -sacrifice. There are things
• 36:20
  I don't like, but I will tolerate. I don't like
• 36:22
  cigarette smoke. Tough shit, I guess. I don't
• 36:26
  know. Well, it's funny you mentioned that because
• 36:28
  on Facebook about two weeks ago, a Facebook friend
• 36:31
  of mine replied to a post I made about the lounge
• 36:35
  and being allowed to do what you want with your
• 36:37
  business. And actually that got brought up. It's
• 36:40
  like, no, no, I think that's a good law. Smoking
• 36:43
  bans are a good law. Oh, you know what? It was
• 36:45
  actually when I reposted one of our episodes
• 36:48
  a couple of weeks back. I reposted it on my personal
• 36:50
  profile. It was the band bingo. And he got on
• 36:53
  there and he goes, actually, I think smoking
• 36:55
  bans are a good idea. Those are a good thing.
• 36:57
  Government should do that. Because he doesn't
• 36:57
  like it. Yeah. And I was like, well, you're wrong
• 37:01
  because it's my business and I should do what
• 37:03
  I want. And I was also, by the way, you of all
• 37:05
  people know that like my business was an indoor
• 37:07
  lounge. And he's like, get fucked, guy. He's
• 37:13
  a guy who's sort of in the same orbit as me for
• 37:16
  paintball, but he's not around nearly as much.
• 37:18
  So I hope when I come back to paintball, Hopefully
• 37:21
  at the end of this, I'm hoping in the next few
• 37:23
  September, October, I'm hoping to be back on
• 37:26
  the scene. God, I hope, I hope he's out there
• 37:28
  on the other side of the field. It's going to
• 37:30
  be great. Anyways, I digress. Yeah. And I mean,
• 37:32
  I know how it sounds to people who are inclined,
• 37:37
  who, which was you at one point in your life
• 37:40
  and me until somewhat recently in my life with
• 37:42
  that are inclined to go, well, yeah, well, but,
• 37:45
  and then think of a couple of exceptions. I know
• 37:48
  how it's like, so You anarchists are freaking
• 37:51
  nuts, man. So in other words, you just want to
• 37:53
  like go into a restaurant. You don't know if
• 37:55
  maybe they're just like there's just roaches
• 37:58
  crawling all over the they open the pot of rice
• 38:01
  to scoop your, you know, your little serving
• 38:03
  into your in your ramen bowl. And it's just roaches
• 38:07
  scurry when they open the rice maker. That's
• 38:11
  what that's what you want. It's like, yeah, dude,
• 38:13
  yes. Like if the if the alternative is that and
• 38:16
  I can't like trust a restaurant. versus what
• 38:19
  we live in now which is this insane authoritarian
• 38:22
  framework of exactly what they described earlier
• 38:25
  of you don't know what the hell is what is permitted
• 38:27
  and what is impossible and exhausting position
• 38:30
  of trying to determine what is allowed on a daily
• 38:34
  basis almost anywhere in their public lives okay
• 38:37
  that that's the alternative that we currently
• 38:38
  live in if the alternative is I don't know which
• 38:41
  restaurant to go to because no one left any reviews
• 38:43
  about the the rice roach place then yeah dude
• 38:46
  I freaking prefer the rice roach place I choose
• 38:50
  dangerous liberty over safe tyranny every day,
• 38:53
  every minute of every day. People say that all
• 38:56
  the time. Most of them don't actually believe
• 38:57
  it. They don't actually believe it. No, they
• 38:59
  don't. Yeah, there's even, there's so much to
• 39:02
  unpack on that whole thing. It does drive me
• 39:05
  pretty good in bonkers. Let's fin - Rice Roach,
• 39:09
  by the way, is in running for a show title. Let's
• 39:10
  finish this clip. Well, there's a, that actually
• 39:12
  is a pretty good one. So there's a, there's a
• 39:14
  - Common little meme that goes around the internet
• 39:17
  and it's in the leftist the leftist circles really
• 39:20
  love it once in a while that pops up in the wild
• 39:22
  on my feet and it's a and Rand and Charles Murray
• 39:25
  and it's a couple about and Rand Paul, you know
• 39:28
  walk into a bar and Then die from out from tainted
• 39:32
  alcohol. Yeah, and it's like, you know in the
• 39:35
  classic leftist fedora hat tip check and mate
• 39:39
  Capitalism is bad free markets are bad and lack
• 39:42
  of regulations are bad Like, yeah, right. OK,
• 39:45
  because because as a bar owner, there's a real
• 39:48
  incentive for me to kill my customers. That makes
• 39:51
  a ton of sense. Yep. That's what I want. I want
• 39:54
  dead customers couldn't possibly be incentivized
• 39:57
  to instead provide good, good service, things
• 40:01
  that don't kill my revenue base. You know, so
• 40:06
  on and so forth, because incentives matter. That
• 40:09
  part gets left out. It's like you could be the
• 40:12
  most. jerkiest jerk on planet Earth. But if you,
• 40:15
  if you like money and you work in the service
• 40:18
  industry or most industries for that matter,
• 40:19
  you have to provide a good or a service that
• 40:21
  people want. And unless you're the only one who
• 40:23
  can do it, well, you have to be competitive and
• 40:26
  not just on price, but on availability, on efficiency,
• 40:29
  on customer service. That's all just natural
• 40:32
  human interaction. Not only that, the actual
• 40:36
  true monolithic - Markets police themselves pretty
• 40:39
  well. The actual true monolithic purveyor of
• 40:42
  poison. is the freaking state. That's who actually
• 40:45
  pervades the poison in the first place. Consider,
• 40:48
  for example, the inverted food pyramid that made
• 40:51
  everybody fat and retarded. That came from the
• 40:54
  freaking state. The state. Hello? Hello? Hello?
• 40:59
  Or when the government, it's documented that
• 41:02
  during the prohibition years, the government
• 41:04
  intentionally poisoned and killed thousands of
• 41:08
  Americans. by tainting illegal alcohol sources
• 41:12
  and then distributing it on purpose. They knew
• 41:15
  what they were doing and they were using it as
• 41:17
  a scare tactic, trying to get people to not participate
• 41:20
  in the alcohol black market. That is real. We're
• 41:25
  finishing this NPR clip. Said he has no other
• 41:29
  choice but to leave the state. Speaking at a
• 41:32
  press conference, plaintiff Diego Fabel said...
• 41:35
  Oh, that's what I wanted to play. Dude, here's
• 41:37
  one of those unbelievable names again. Listen
• 41:39
  to this. Speaking at a press conference, plaintiff
• 41:42
  Diego Fabel said he has no other choice but to
• 41:46
  leave the state. Diego Fabel, who's living in
• 41:50
  a fantasy land, thinks he needs to now leave
• 41:53
  the state. This is just like Lindsay Hecox. Every
• 41:58
  single time, the public -facing people always
• 42:01
  have these ridiculous on -the -nose names. The
• 42:04
  simulation. Yeah, well, I suppose when they when
• 42:07
  they when they go to court, will that be their
• 42:09
  D day and the D stands for something else? Said
• 42:13
  he has no other choice but to leave the state.
• 42:17
  Living in fear every time I leave the house is
• 42:20
  not sustainable. So this law is that right? Because
• 42:23
  I'll bet you you spent from 2020 through 2022
• 42:25
  doing exactly that. Being afraid of the air,
• 42:28
  you freaking phony. You love living in fear.
• 42:30
  It just depends on the circumstances. Well, being
• 42:34
  afraid means perpetual victimhood. Perpetual
• 42:37
  victimhood is really a nice place to live. So
• 42:42
  this law is forcing me to leave my treasured
• 42:44
  friends and community behind. In an email, a
• 42:47
  spokesperson for the attorney general said his
• 42:49
  office was looking forward to defending the law.
• 42:53
  Julie Luketa, Boise State Public Radio. Wait,
• 42:55
  I'm sorry, isn't it? Julie Luketa. I was just
• 43:06
  thinking about the prohibition stuff, so I looked
• 43:08
  it up real fast so I could have slightly harder
• 43:10
  numbers. And I was immediately confronted with
• 43:14
  two incredibly different, speaking of mainstream
• 43:17
  media, two incredibly different narratives, one
• 43:20
  from USA Today and one from National Geographic.
• 43:25
  Then if I pull up a third, which is going to
• 43:27
  be the most legitimate it'd be by like reason
• 43:30
  The reason organization a libertarian think tank,
• 43:34
  but I don't have time to pull that one up But
• 43:36
  so the first two articles USA today is the government
• 43:39
  the US government poisoned some alcohol during
• 43:42
  prohibition That's just the headline and then
• 43:45
  the one below it National Geographic their headline
• 43:47
  is Americans knew their booze was poisoned and
• 43:50
  drank it anyway So the first headline is an apologist
• 43:56
  for the for the government poisoning its own
• 43:58
  citizens and The second headline goes beyond
• 44:01
  being an apologist for the US government killing
• 44:03
  their own people and straight up blames the victims
• 44:08
  Meanwhile for the all of prohibition over 10
• 44:11
  ,000 Americans were poisoned to death by the
• 44:14
  US government And that's just the ones we know
• 44:16
  about those are the ones that they could trace
• 44:18
  and they knew and they call it the chemists war
• 44:20
  And it was a deliberate enforcement tactic that
• 44:24
  the government used to poison industrial alcohol,
• 44:27
  then let it be distributed out there so that
• 44:30
  people would drink it, get ill and not want to
• 44:33
  drink alcohol anymore. And it said they killed
• 44:35
  about 10 ,000 people that we know of. And the
• 44:39
  mainstream media apologizes for it or blames
• 44:43
  the people who got poisoned. Yeah, that's the
• 44:48
  mainstream media for you right there. I don't
• 44:53
  know what you're talking about, dude. If it weren't
• 44:55
  for the state, there'd be roaches in my rice.
• 44:58
  If it weren't for the state, I'd have clean alcohol.
• 45:02
  Here is Four News Now's version of the story.
• 45:06
  The one you heard before was in PR. Here's a
• 45:08
  different one. State of Idaho is facing another
• 45:11
  lawsuit over its new bathroom law. Melissa Sue
• 45:13
  Robinson, a transgender Idahoan who's running
• 45:16
  for governor, is asking a judge for a temporary
• 45:19
  injunction against House Bill 752. The bill is
• 45:22
  set to be. Now here's a mainstream media piss
• 45:26
  poor presentation unless you're propagandizing
• 45:29
  on behalf of. the quote, trans community, in
• 45:32
  which case it's perfect, but as an actual presentation
• 45:35
  to inform the viewer of what's happening, it's
• 45:37
  very, very bad. Melissa Sue Robinson, a transgender
• 45:42
  Idahoan who's running for governor. Melissa Sue
• 45:44
  Robinson, a transgender Idahoan who's running
• 45:47
  for governor. Now, what would you think that
• 45:49
  there, what do you get out of that? That she's
• 45:55
  really optimistic. Well, for one, it's a guy.
• 45:59
  when they say transgender Idahoan, it's not clear
• 46:03
  because they don't make it clear. And I'm not
• 46:05
  expecting the mainstream, obviously, of course,
• 46:06
  to say that or say it's a guy or anything. But
• 46:09
  it is a it's a guy and you'll hear why it's important
• 46:11
  in a moment. It's the same thing they do to they're
• 46:16
  trying to humanize their central figure of the
• 46:21
  story is the same tactic that they do. In fact,
• 46:23
  I bet I bet in that NIR newspaper at some point
• 46:27
  when they profile any of the female candidates,
• 46:30
  maybe even all of the female candidates, they'll
• 46:33
  have things like mother of three. Who the fuck
• 46:37
  cares? OK, I get, you know, I mean, you're a
• 46:41
  mom. That's cool. So are a lot of people. But
• 46:44
  it's one of those things. Oh, OK, she's a mother
• 46:47
  of three. I am a mother. And that means she's
• 46:49
  going to be more relatable and softer, a gentler
• 46:52
  touch and, you know, more more human. That's
• 46:55
  the tactic that's employed. That's the tactic.
• 46:57
  Have you have you see that a lot too with the
• 46:59
  public education stuff when the teachers they
• 47:02
  really hammer home when a teacher is a mom teacher
• 47:05
  mother of three oh okay well we should listen
• 47:09
  to her because she's a mother of three andrea
• 47:13
  yates was a mother of three as well don't don't
• 47:17
  google andrea yates it'll make you want to puke
• 47:21
  i'm not gonna yeah uh did you have you started
• 47:23
  listening to phil hendry yet do you click on
• 47:25
  that link i send you I'm sorry. No, I suck, but
• 47:28
  it is on my top. It is top of my list. Leave
• 47:30
  me alone. One of his, one of his characters,
• 47:33
  one of his characters archives, Bobby, Bobby
• 47:35
  Dooley short for Roberta. Uh, she's the president
• 47:38
  of the Western estates homeowners association.
• 47:40
  She is a, she is a mother. I am a mother. She
• 47:43
  would use that all the time. It's of course for
• 47:47
  the future. Yep. Okay, let's keep now. It's just
• 47:50
  top of my list man. I promise I'm gonna get to
• 47:52
  it and then you and I'll have one more thing
• 47:54
  in common I'm afraid though. We might have too
• 47:56
  much in common and our chemistry might be too
• 47:58
  good at that point You know what ruined it you
• 48:00
  make a good point is asking a judge for a temporary
• 48:03
  injunction against House Bill 752 the bill is
• 48:06
  set to become law July 1st. It'll criminalize
• 48:09
  a transgender person use person's use of a restroom,
• 48:13
  changing room or locker room that does not align
• 48:16
  with their sex assigned at birth. Robinson's
• 48:18
  lawsuit alleges that last month she was using
• 48:21
  the woman's restroom in her apartment in Nampa
• 48:23
  when another woman called Robinson, a man Robinson
• 48:26
  alleges. The woman also said quote, if I catch
• 48:29
  you in a woman's restroom, there will be. trouble.
• 48:32
  The lawsuit claim situations like this will only
• 48:34
  get worse after the law takes effect. Lawmakers
• 48:37
  and supporters of 752 say it's meant to protect
• 48:40
  women and girls in private areas. So one more
• 48:44
  time. You claim situations like this will only
• 48:46
  get worse after the law takes effect. Situations
• 48:49
  like situations like hey, you're a dude. You
• 48:52
  don't belong in here. It's like situations where
• 48:56
  a woman is confronted by a dude wearing a wig.
• 49:00
  in the women's room and is like, hey, man, this
• 49:03
  is you shouldn't be in here. And if you if I
• 49:06
  see you in the women's room again, there's going
• 49:08
  to be trouble out of the mouth of a woman in
• 49:10
  a women's restroom. Situations like that will
• 49:14
  get worse. What does that mean? You know, I can't
• 49:21
  I can't help but think of how awful women in
• 49:24
  general are. This is going to get me in so much
• 49:26
  trouble. But women are so awful. They hate each
• 49:30
  other. They hate themselves. They hate each other
• 49:33
  like imagine a war imagine a world where men
• 49:36
  just don't do it quite the same way I mean, we'll
• 49:38
  rib each other. We'll give each other shit. We're
• 49:39
  competitive We want to beat each other to the
• 49:41
  top. But then for the most part we're like shake
• 49:43
  each other's hands and be like, yeah, we're kind
• 49:45
  of To a degree we're like on the same team and
• 49:48
  you know better luck next time pal I kicked your
• 49:51
  ass and you might kick mine next time whatever
• 49:53
  but like this gal who's reporting on this is
• 49:58
  taking the side of a man who is cosplaying as
• 50:02
  a woman and Must just hate herself or hate other
• 50:06
  women like and this is the state of modern feminism,
• 50:09
  too Which is even crazier imagine being part
• 50:11
  of a group whose sole purpose supposedly is to
• 50:14
  advance the advance the cause of women while
• 50:17
  you actively campaign for the demise of women
• 50:20
  and you Quite literally see women as replaceable
• 50:23
  enough that men can use their bathroom Men can
• 50:27
  place in sports alongside them and against them.
• 50:30
  Men can have babies too. You hate women. The
• 50:36
  suicidal empathy is insane. It's a borderline
• 50:41
  medical mental condition at this point that an
• 50:44
  entire swath of the population has. And of course,
• 50:47
  ironically enough, men, even the demented men
• 50:51
  who want to be women still deep down kind of
• 50:54
  understand the advantage they have by competing
• 50:56
  with women. So men who already have the edge
• 51:00
  leverage the edge even harder now. This is your
• 51:05
  weekly no ID reminder that this isn't even about
• 51:08
  trans people. It's a specific subset of them
• 51:11
  that look like dudes with five o 'clock shadow
• 51:14
  with wigs and dresses. Because if Blair White
• 51:17
  was in this women's restroom, this lady who was
• 51:20
  like, Hey, what are you doing in here? wouldn't
• 51:22
  have noticed anything. It would have just been
• 51:24
  a chick in the women's room. Half of Thailand
• 51:27
  could probably use the bathroom and no one would
• 51:29
  know any different. Because it's like, you know
• 51:32
  what, if you are going to go the tranny route,
• 51:34
  well, at least have the decency to be a good
• 51:36
  one. Be a convincing one at least, you hoser.
• 51:38
  I was in the women's... Okay, I'm running for
• 51:41
  Idaho governor and I just want everyone to know
• 51:43
  that I was in the restroom doing the helicopter
• 51:46
  in the mirror and some lady was like, hey, what
• 51:49
  are you doing in here? So vote for me. Actually,
• 51:52
  I think it was more like I was in the restroom
• 51:53
  during the helicopter and Sheriff Norris called
• 51:56
  me up and was like, I want to buy it. OK, you
• 52:02
  know, well, if you want to like, oh, Norris,
• 52:04
  you dirty boy, you're grounded. If you want to
• 52:08
  buy yourself some an executive producer title
• 52:13
  on this show, then please participate in our
• 52:17
  value for value model. That is what our show
• 52:20
  runs on. Our helicopters are way less expensive.
• 52:24
  That's right. Because it doesn't run on jet A
• 52:26
  like the grounded heli of Kootenay. It runs on
• 52:30
  value for value. Value for value. It runs on
• 52:32
  vodka and poker. It's a very simple model value
• 52:37
  for value. There are no advertisers or sponsors
• 52:40
  on this show and there never will be. We remain
• 52:43
  free. We value liberty. People get told what
• 52:47
  to say and what not to say when they participate
• 52:49
  in the advertiser model, which basically all
• 52:51
  media does. I and Paul do not want content on
• 52:56
  this program dictated by outside forces that
• 53:00
  have products to push. So therefore we have chosen
• 53:02
  the value for value model. It goes like this.
• 53:04
  I don't want anything dictated. You should visit
• 53:08
  the public restrooms down in Nampa and see what
• 53:10
  happens. Yeah, they'll dictate for you all day
• 53:13
  long. If you find our program valuable, then
• 53:18
  we ask that you... I'm sorry. No, you're not.
• 53:21
  We ask that you send value back to us. It's really...
• 53:25
  Clearly, we're not sponsored. Otherwise, I'd
• 53:27
  never get to say anything that I would like to
• 53:29
  say. We try to bring the value with every episode
• 53:33
  that we put out there. We put out the show every
• 53:35
  Thursday. And there it is on the internet, on
• 53:39
  your podcast players, on the YouTubes, in all
• 53:42
  of the forums that you can find audio. There
• 53:45
  you'll find our show, a new episode every Thursday,
• 53:48
  and we try to bring the value with our episodes.
• 53:50
  But we record every Tuesday so that Scott has
• 53:53
  at least two days to edit out all the shit I
• 53:55
  say. To make it just exactly like I want. He's
• 53:59
  over here like, it's gotta be family friendly.
• 54:01
  And I'm like, fuck that. Fuck you fuck you fuck
• 54:06
  you You're cool If you find our show valuable
• 54:12
  we ask that you contribute value back That's
• 54:14
  the model and there are many ways to do it time
• 54:17
  talent and treasure are the main drivers of value
• 54:20
  returned time and talent means For one word of
• 54:25
  mouth taking the time to tell people about the
• 54:27
  show That's big value returned if you like our
• 54:30
  program and find it valuable, please tell other
• 54:32
  people about the show send them the link Do not
• 54:35
  be shy to spread the word. Time is also show
• 54:40
  art. I have a couple actually pieces of show
• 54:43
  art that were submitted, so I might could use
• 54:45
  it for this week's show, depending on what we
• 54:48
  decide for show title. Right now, I'm really
• 54:50
  liking Rice Roach, so we'll see. Yeah, Rice Roach
• 54:52
  is a solid entry so far. Also, if you guys, as
• 54:55
  always, I really love it when you all contact
• 54:57
  us with the dish, or I guess they're calling
• 55:00
  it spilling the tea now, but I'm going to keep
• 55:03
  with... you know, the dish. I like that better.
• 55:05
  It's old school. We're going in that direction.
• 55:07
  I'm hoping. I'm so, so, so hoping somebody steps
• 55:11
  up and reaches out with follow ups on Dan Gukin's
• 55:14
  meltdown from last week's city council meeting.
• 55:16
  Gosh, I'm hoping it's just so good. It's too
• 55:18
  good. Oh, I have so many good ones. As I reflected,
• 55:22
  by the way, on that, it's honestly kind of frightening
• 55:26
  that this is who has found their way to the mayoral
• 55:30
  chair. Like, Yeah, but it's not surprising. It's
• 55:35
  terrifying, but it's not surprising. The more
• 55:38
  I thought about it, and as I was like editing
• 55:41
  the show and I heard the clips again, the more
• 55:42
  I was like, this person is so, they're just so
• 55:46
  pathetically in love with power. Like they're
• 55:49
  just, you could just tell he's tickled pink,
• 55:53
  that he gets to be the guy banging the gavel
• 55:55
  and telling everyone that he's the God King.
• 55:59
  I am the mayor. Listen to that. I am the mayor.
• 56:04
  Look where I have gotten minions. I am the mayor.
• 56:07
  I am tired of this shit. Do not interrupt me.
• 56:11
  And he's banging again. Do not interrupt me.
• 56:13
  Do not interrupt me. It's pathetic. It's honestly
• 56:16
  freaking pathetic. These people are just ridiculous.
• 56:20
  It's so indicative of the current state of affairs.
• 56:24
  Oh, man. Well, Courtney. And what's even crazier
• 56:28
  about it is that he actually ended up on Candlelight
• 56:32
  Christians, they put out some sort of pamphlet
• 56:34
  or mailer not too long ago that included Dan
• 56:38
  Guggen as a recommended precinct committeeman
• 56:41
  for the Republican Precinct Committee. Isn't
• 56:44
  that just even crazier? Good luck. Wild. Okay,
• 56:49
  well, in any case, back to the value for value
• 56:51
  thing. Here, Dan was having this moment. This
• 56:54
  is outrageous. Where are the armed men who come
• 56:57
  in to take the protesters away? Where are they?
• 56:59
  This kind of behavior is never tolerating in
• 57:02
  Boracua. You shout like that, they put you in
• 57:04
  jail right away. No trial, no nothing. Journalists,
• 57:09
  we have a special jail for journalists. Especially
• 57:11
  for journalists. What? I am the mayor. You're
• 57:15
  all going to jail. I am the mayor. Do not interrupt
• 57:19
  me. It's too good. It's so embarrassing. Imagine,
• 57:25
  imagine acting like that in such a public way.
• 57:29
  not being embarrassed imagine being able to get
• 57:33
  away with that and the entire downtown cartel
• 57:36
  allows it they seem to quite like it okay in
• 57:39

  returned in the form of fiat currency and Doing
• 58:50
  so makes you an executive producer. You are all
• 58:54
  producers. You're not listeners of the show your
• 58:56
  producers you help us make the show and People
• 58:59
  who do who return value in the form of currency
• 59:02
  become executive producers this week. There are
• 59:05
  two of them And I'd like to start with, well,
• 59:11
  it's anonymous. It's signed a C -N -H -G, and
• 59:15
  then in parentheses, it says completely normal.
• 59:18
  C -N -H -G. And in parentheses, it says completely
• 59:24
  normal human being. So that's who sent this.
• 59:29
  Oh, nobody who donates to us is a completely
• 59:31
  normal human being. Survey says that was a lie.
• 59:35
  This is a shiny Schmeckle donation. which is
• 59:39
  999 and the shiny schmeckle donation from a completely
• 59:45
  normal human being. He says, uh, Paul and Scott,
• 59:51
  I have been listening since episode one. I have
• 59:53
  endured much. I have grown as a person. I have
• 59:57
  questioned my life choices at least twice per
• 59:59
  episode. Please accept, please accept this modest
• 1:00:03
  donation, which I justify as self care. Not enabling
• 1:00:08
  my parasocial relationship with strangers who
• 1:00:11
  do not know I exist May your may your tangents
• 1:00:16
  remain only moderately derailed if we ever meet
• 1:00:20
  in real life I will deny all of this and just
• 1:00:22
  say I listen occasionally That's from a CNHG
• 1:00:30
  thanks, you know that was yeah, thank CNHG that
• 1:00:35
  That was pretty fantastic. I hope I hope we do
• 1:00:38
  meet at some point so that you can deny it. That'd
• 1:00:41
  be pretty I mean, there's a possibility I always
• 1:00:44
  announce when I'm coming down. So you're telling
• 1:00:46
  me there's a chance I'm gonna take this opportunity
• 1:00:49
  to say when I'm coming down next. I'm coming
• 1:00:50
  down on the 21st. Hey 21st of May. No, actually,
• 1:00:55
  okay because I'm so good about forgetting about
• 1:00:57
  Scott I'm actually coming down on the 13th to
• 1:01:00
  hang out with you Scott. Look who I didn't forget
• 1:01:02
  this time, right? Well, because I wrote the rest
• 1:01:05
  purpose of hanging out with you. I wrote the
• 1:01:08
  rest of your clan into it. So you couldn't you
• 1:01:10
  couldn't cut me out of the deal. I might try
• 1:01:13
  to I actually might try to hit up the lounge
• 1:01:15
  either before or after. So there might be some
• 1:01:17
  lounge time. I haven't decided. You and I got
• 1:01:19
  to talk about that afterwards. But yeah, coming
• 1:01:22
  down on the 21st. I'm going to try to get some
• 1:01:24
  lounge time there and to I'll announce it next
• 1:01:26
  week when I know for sure. But I'd love to I'd
• 1:01:28
  love to meet you here. She who is. shall not
• 1:01:32
  be named, but is a regular human, but also traumatized
• 1:01:35
  by our podcast. We'll see. Hopefully. I'm not
• 1:01:38
  sure if this, if a CNHG is local or not. I do
• 1:01:41
  notice that be on account of no, no agenda producers
• 1:01:45
  who tune into our show. I do see downloads from
• 1:01:47
  all over the U S and even there's been a couple
• 1:01:50
  like this, Canada and Mexico here and there.
• 1:01:53
  I'm not saying the numbers are gigantic. I'm
• 1:01:55
  just saying there are downloads from every, from
• 1:01:57
  a lot of different places you wouldn't expect.
• 1:01:59
  So I'm not even sure that this person is local,
• 1:02:01
  but if they are come hang out the racketeer for
• 1:02:03
  sure. Yeah Yeah, we'll keep you posted and in
• 1:02:07
  the meantime this week's other executive producer
• 1:02:10
  is a row of ducks to to to to from Daniel Mercer
• 1:02:16
  Daniel says hi I found your guys podcast after
• 1:02:20
  seeing Scott on the North Idaho experience. Hey,
• 1:02:23
  a North Idaho experience donation. All right.
• 1:02:26
  Yeah. The North Idaho experiences. They it's
• 1:02:30
  a bunch of former law enforcement. I think I've
• 1:02:32
  mentioned before, I went and did their show back
• 1:02:34
  in December. So you and I had only done a handful
• 1:02:37
  of episodes at that time. And I went and did
• 1:02:40
  their show. They are they've become they don't
• 1:02:42
  they've become realtors where they kind of specialize
• 1:02:45
  in relocating former or retired law enforcement
• 1:02:48
  that are looking to move to Freedomville. And
• 1:02:51
  they also do. That's ironic, isn't it? They have
• 1:02:55
  a YouTube channel, they have a podcast, they
• 1:02:57
  have a lot of different media that they it's
• 1:02:59
  I think it kind of started as a marketing machine.
• 1:03:01
  And it definitely still is for the real estate
• 1:03:04
  transactions. But the show is on its own is pretty
• 1:03:08
  good. They do interesting interviews. They actually
• 1:03:11
  just did one last week, I think it was. I watched,
• 1:03:15
  I just finished watching it today and I was going
• 1:03:17
  to ask you about it. I was like, Scott, you were
• 1:03:18
  on that show, but I never saw that one post.
• 1:03:20
  Did it post? Wow. The reach was excellent as
• 1:03:24
  you can hear. You never told me when it posted.
• 1:03:27
  You told me about it and you were like, yeah,
• 1:03:28
  it hasn't posted yet. They have a lot in the
• 1:03:30
  queue. And I was like, oh, okay. I'll wait. I
• 1:03:32
  guarantee you I sent you the link. I'm sure I
• 1:03:34
  sent you the link. It just got buried. I'll bet
• 1:03:37
  you a beer and a cigar. I think I'm going to
• 1:03:39
  lose this bet, but just to be like, I'm pretty
• 1:03:42
  sure I've lost this bet already before I even
• 1:03:43
  made it, but that's okay. That's okay. I'm happy
• 1:03:46
  to buy a beer and a cigar. I probably owe you
• 1:03:47
  something anyways. I don't know, reparations
• 1:03:49
  or something. Who the hell knows. Where I was
• 1:03:52
  going with that is they had one of the most recent
• 1:03:55
  podcasts had Brent Regan, the chairman of the
• 1:03:59
  Kootenai County. And it is, it's only about an
• 1:04:01
  hour long and it's not all politics. I think
• 1:04:03
  they jumped into it around the 12 or 15 minute
• 1:04:06
  mark. It's very, very well worth listening to.
• 1:04:10
  It's really, it'd be funny if it wasn't so shitty
• 1:04:14
  how well NIR and those people have vilified Brent
• 1:04:18
  Regan. And I don't think he's perfect. Nobody's
• 1:04:20
  perfect, of course. But he's very well thought
• 1:04:23
  out. He's very well spoken, and he's an intelligent
• 1:04:26
  guy. And he's not this nightmarish tyrant that
• 1:04:29
  everybody likes to paint. They just like to paint
• 1:04:31
  him that way when they don't get what they want.
• 1:04:33
  You know who likes to paint him that way, Paul?
• 1:04:35
  Nightmarish tyrants. That's not funny. Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  There's actually a tactic, right? A deflection,
• 1:04:42
  I think is what it's called. Projection. Projection.
• 1:04:45
  Thank you. Yep. Yeah. Accused your opponent of
• 1:04:48
  doing the things you're actually doing. The NIR.
• 1:04:51
  The Alinsky tactics. Yep. Oof. They're so good
• 1:04:52
  at that. That's like tactic number one for them.
• 1:04:56
  But anyways, plug in that podcast. Yes. We'll
• 1:04:59
  check it out. The Reagan interview was great.
• 1:05:01
  Yes. So Mr. Mercer, welcome. Indeed and Mark
• 1:05:05
  Fitzpatrick did an episode with him too. So yeah,
• 1:05:06
  what many episodes? I'll have to watch that one,
• 1:05:09
  too Definitely check out my episode before any
• 1:05:11
  of those, you know, of course man kind of importance
• 1:05:13
  In any case, yeah found your guys podcast from
• 1:05:17
  North out of experience Your show has altered
• 1:05:19
  the way I hear media even random YouTube videos
• 1:05:23
  feel like they now come with messaging I didn't
• 1:05:25
  used to notice sometimes it is fascinating. Sometimes
• 1:05:28
  it is a little distracting. I don't think I'm
• 1:05:31
  more cynical If anything, I'm more aware that
• 1:05:33
  every piece of information is being assembled
• 1:05:35
  rather than simply delivered. That awareness
• 1:05:38
  doesn't go away once you have it. OK. Thanks
• 1:05:41
  for bringing the value. Once you see it or hear
• 1:05:44
  it, you cannot unsee or unhear it. It's you can't.
• 1:05:48
  Now you know. Thank you very kindly, Daniel Mercer.
• 1:05:52
  And yes, indeed. Welcome. We appreciate it a
• 1:05:54
  lot. If you would like to become an executive
• 1:05:57

• 1:06:19

• 1:06:20
  a lot? Is it a little? That's going to be the
• 1:06:24
  outro. I'm just doing it every time now at the
• 1:06:26
  end of our value for value segment because it
• 1:06:28
  just makes me laugh. I love it. I'm doing it.
• 1:06:30
  Yeah, I do have a tune dialed up for intermission
• 1:06:33
  while we go to our own respective private bathrooms
• 1:06:38
  that are both men and women bathrooms, but there
• 1:06:42
  will only be men in mine. I see that. There's
• 1:06:44
  an Idaho gubernatorial candidate doing the helicopter
• 1:06:46
  in my restroom. What do I do? Are you packing
• 1:06:51
  heat right now? All of the dudes in dresses in
• 1:06:57
  the first row stand up. You gotta know, I'll
• 1:07:21
  never love It's gotta be love I said it You gotta
• 1:07:30
  know, I'm feelin' love This will be in our garden
• 1:08:02
  I said I'm in the air It's a drippin' rose So
• 1:08:11
  this oughta be my warden Of anything there that's
• 1:08:19
  made of gold Hide and flicker the hair It can
• 1:09:28
  make you old Another hole to dig my soul in You
• 1:10:57
  know, with a name like Chet Faker, I feel like
• 1:11:00
  he should be involved in one of these trans lawsuits.
• 1:11:05
  I was actually thinking a very similar thing.
• 1:11:10
  All right. Welcome to the second half of show.
• 1:11:12
  You're on no ID. Oh, man. Chemistry. Let's start
• 1:11:18
  second half with. Boise State University will
• 1:11:22
  rename Cesar Chavez Lane on campus in the wake
• 1:11:24
  of significant sexual assault allegations made
• 1:11:27
  against the famed labor leader earlier this year
• 1:11:30
  Chavez died decades ago, but a report in the
• 1:11:32
  New York Times detailed years of abuse against
• 1:11:35
  girls and women in his orbit including the what
• 1:11:38
  of the United farm workers Dolores Huerta You
• 1:11:41
  mean to say what another supreme glorious leader
• 1:11:45
  leader leader and a labor labor leader leader
• 1:11:47
  at that Was abusive to people underneath him?
• 1:11:51
  No. No! And when we say people underneath him?
• 1:11:58
  That reporting has led many entities across the
• 1:12:00
  country to revisit decisions establishing monuments
• 1:12:03
  or naming public spaces in honor of Chavez. Boise
• 1:12:06
  State says about 2 ,500 students, faculty and
• 1:12:09
  staff responded to a survey, the majority supporting
• 1:12:12
  renaming the road which runs along the north
• 1:12:14
  edge of campus against the Boise River. Three
• 1:12:17
  new names will be considered. Friendship Lane,
• 1:12:20
  Peregrine Lane. Perfect. Ask Paul. The last one
• 1:12:26
  is the best. How gay are the three? Are the three
• 1:12:29
  proposed names going to be like, you know, as
• 1:12:31
  they're all going to be super gay, like actual
• 1:12:33
  gay, not just metaphorically gay, literally gay.
• 1:12:35
  No, they're going to be gay. For the last one,
• 1:12:40
  which is the best one because it's a return to
• 1:12:43
  the original name. Which I don't do any of the
• 1:12:46
  people that make the decisions to make these
• 1:12:48
  naming changes ever We could ever like look in
• 1:12:50
  the mirror and go like hmm Maybe our judgment
• 1:12:52
  wasn't so great in the first place and we should
• 1:12:54
  have never renamed it But in any case we can
• 1:12:56
  do an on the flyass ball for the final one Here
• 1:12:58
  comes the question big or small make your guess
• 1:13:01
  before we call the game begins. It's asked Brought
• 1:13:05
  to you by Pfizer I didn't prepare it. So I'm
• 1:13:08
  gonna hit the pot I'm gonna try and hit the pause
• 1:13:10
  button at just the right time Three new names
• 1:13:12
  will be considered. Friendship Lane, Peregrine
• 1:13:14
  Lane, or a return to the road's original name.
• 1:13:17
  Okay, what's the road's original name? Friendship
• 1:13:19
  Lane, or Peregrine, which is the Falcon. So you
• 1:13:22
  got friendship, you got birds, or... Actually,
• 1:13:29
  it would be so funny if it was just Boise Lane.
• 1:13:32
  You're so close. Yeah, I mean it's got to be
• 1:13:35
  something like Jem Jem Lane or Boise Lane or
• 1:13:38
  Treasure Valley Lane or something. I'm gonna
• 1:13:40
  give you a hint. I'm gonna give you a hint. Hey
• 1:13:41
  North Idaho. Well, let me ask the North Idaho
• 1:13:46
  NAACP guy. What do you think we should tell him?
• 1:13:48
  It's just it's just a version of affirmative
• 1:13:50
  action. He should probably agree with that. Show
• 1:13:53
  some respect. Okay, geez. I'm just asking dude.
• 1:13:56
  I'm sorry. I'm asking if Paul can can can I give
• 1:13:59
  him a hint? He's reluctantly nodding yes. Keep
• 1:14:03
  in mind that it's at Boise State. Oh, come on.
• 1:14:11
  Is it Boise State Lane? Yeah, you're right there.
• 1:14:15
  I'm not sure if you're going to get it, but I'll
• 1:14:16
  give you one more. University Lane. Oh, College
• 1:14:20
  Boulevard. Campus Lane. Campus Lane. Who the
• 1:14:24
  hell goes with Campus Lane? I never heard Campus
• 1:14:26
  Lane. That sounds like that sounds like the weird
• 1:14:28
  one of the weird tents where they're all weird
• 1:14:30
  at Burning Man or something. It's like, come
• 1:14:32
  on down to Campus Lane. No, no, I'll avoid that
• 1:14:35
  quadrant. Thank you. Return to the roads original
• 1:14:38
  name campus lane before it was chained. Why would
• 1:14:40
  they have changed it in the first place? That's
• 1:14:42
  what I want to know. Yeah, exactly. They love
• 1:14:45
  changing names Remember before it was turns out
• 1:14:48
  to Marxists are total pieces of shit professionally
• 1:14:51
  and personally Before it was changed to honor
• 1:14:54
  Chavez nearly 20 years ago Those three names
• 1:14:57
  will be submitted to the county and then the
• 1:14:59
  city of Boise for vetting process expected to
• 1:15:01
  take as long as six weeks According to you know
• 1:15:04
  what they're gonna go with They're going to go
• 1:15:06
  with Friendship Lane. They're going to go with
• 1:15:09
  the gayest of the three. They're absolutely going
• 1:15:11
  to go with Friendship Lane. You know they are.
• 1:15:14
  The mayor's going to cut the ribbon on Friendship
• 1:15:17
  Lane like they built something novel or something
• 1:15:19
  like that and be like, and now we can have the
• 1:15:22
  most inclusive road in Boise, Friendship Lane.
• 1:15:26
  And if you are an ally, you too can walk down
• 1:15:29
  this street and block traffic to show your support
• 1:15:32
  for all the gayness. And remember, only on account
• 1:15:37
  of the state does this road exist. Oh, yeah.
• 1:15:41
  Thanks taxpayers. Hey, speaking of, since I already
• 1:15:45
  got one of my hopefully to ask Paul's, I've got
• 1:15:48
  stuff for you. Send it. Oh, yeah. All right.
• 1:16:00
  It's been a couple of weeks, so you better stretch.
• 1:16:03
  Remember, I brought my my big city. You sit on
• 1:16:07
  the ball and you bounce around. We're doing exercises
• 1:16:10
  on that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, podcasting on a
• 1:16:14
  yoga ball. I hope Jim from the office doesn't
• 1:16:16
  come stick a knife in the side of it. Let's go.
• 1:16:21
  What a time to be alive. Podcasting on a yoga
• 1:16:24
  ball. And I'll tell you what, if this was the
• 1:16:26
  office, I would definitely be the Dwight Schrute
• 1:16:28
  to your gym helper. Let's go. Give it to me.
• 1:16:32
  I don't even like turnips. OK, I got two for
• 1:16:36
  you because I promised you a bonus, even though
• 1:16:38
  you actually Didn't deserve one at the end of
• 1:16:40
  last postcast. I was gonna take one away from
• 1:16:43
  you But then I thought no, I probably still owe
• 1:16:45
  you one from something else. I don't remember
• 1:16:47
  what I did wrong I don't either so I'll go back
• 1:16:50
  and listen to it But there was something because
• 1:16:52
  I took one away. It was well deserved Okay, so
• 1:16:57
  in 2020 For the latter half of the year. There
• 1:17:02
  was a severe shortage of hand sanitizer Hand
• 1:17:05
  sanitizer was kind of in at the time, you know,
• 1:17:08
  it was hip. It was cool everybody had it everybody
• 1:17:10
  wanted it everybody needed a hand sanitizer,
• 1:17:12
  you know, because This thing that you can get
• 1:17:15
  that's non -contact and it's through the air
• 1:17:18
  It's stopped by hand sanitizer But only if you're
• 1:17:22
  six feet away to the left instead of to the north
• 1:17:25
  or the south six feet away to the west and hand
• 1:17:27
  sanitizer you're good, but You go to my bar You're
• 1:17:33
  dead. So the heroes of the day all of the clothes
• 1:17:37
  down and there was like 1 ,100 of them There
• 1:17:40
  were like 1 ,100 of them, which is actually incredible
• 1:17:42
  that there are that many in the country. God
• 1:17:44
  bless America. Distilleries that were all closed
• 1:17:47
  down, almost all of them, because there was a
• 1:17:51
  way to make some money, stepped up and started
• 1:17:54
  making hand sanitizer. Because it turns out ethanol,
• 1:17:57
  one of the leading ingredients of hand sanitizer,
• 1:17:59
  is also, shocker, one of the leading ingredients
• 1:18:02
  in the product that these distilleries work with.
• 1:18:05
  So they step up. And a lot of them donate. boxes
• 1:18:09
  and I mean tons and tons and tons of hand sanitizer
• 1:18:12
  and a lot of them sell it some of them at cost
• 1:18:14
  some of them for small margins in the end not
• 1:18:16
  much money is made but it helps their local communities
• 1:18:20
  it keeps the distilleries relevant you know keeps
• 1:18:23
  them relevant to their local communities community
• 1:18:25
  community communities but this is a good thing
• 1:18:27
  they help out it's a feel -good right everybody
• 1:18:30
  feels good yay well I'm giving you a multiple
• 1:18:34
  choice I'm actually taking it easy on you today
• 1:18:36
  you get a it's multiple choice so These distilleries
• 1:18:40
  step up and are the heroes of the day and in
• 1:18:45
  response at the end of 2020 towards the very
• 1:18:49
  end of 2020 December 2020 How were they treated
• 1:18:53
  did the FDA? hinder their manufacturing of hand
• 1:18:59
  so a did the FDA hinder their manufacturing of
• 1:19:02
  hand sanitizer through aggressive regulation
• 1:19:05
  regarding the denaturing of the alcohol be slap
• 1:19:10
  them with over $14 ,000 in fines for the end
• 1:19:13
  of 2020. C, slap them with over $14 ,000 in fines
• 1:19:19
  for the beginning of 2021. D, keep these distilleries
• 1:19:23
  shut down through the end of 2020. Or E, harass
• 1:19:28
  them in 2022 regarding some issues with slight
• 1:19:32
  impurities in parts per millions for acetalhaldehyde.
• 1:19:38
  some of the recipes having some impurities and
• 1:19:41
  it was a couple hundred distilleries. Did the
• 1:19:44
  FDA do E, that? A, B, C, D or E? Well, for one,
• 1:19:50
  acetaldehyde is a very disgusting off flavor
• 1:19:53
  in beer, which I in a guided off flavor training
• 1:19:58
  tasting thing that we did on the show back on
• 1:20:00
  the Brewing Network years ago. I had to taste
• 1:20:03
  acetaldehyde among many other horrible off flavors
• 1:20:05
  and diacetyl stuff. Acetaldehyde might be the
• 1:20:08
  worst of them all. God is it bad. It has to be.
• 1:20:12
  It has to be all of the above. You didn't give
• 1:20:16
  me an all of the. Yeah, right. Because, yeah,
• 1:20:21
  like only finding them once. No, they for sure
• 1:20:25
  more than once. Keeping them shut down, harassing
• 1:20:28
  them two years after two weeks to slow the spread,
• 1:20:31
  being very aggressive in their regulatory enforcement
• 1:20:35
  because the air was. All of it had to have happened.
• 1:20:39
  Uh, yeah, I didn't give you an all of the above
• 1:20:41
  cause I didn't think you'd need it. I mean, but
• 1:20:45
  I thought the multiple choice thing was kind
• 1:20:47
  of fun. I thought I might just maybe might trip
• 1:20:49
  you up because it's so absurd. This is so absurd,
• 1:20:53
  but you and I both are cynical enough and we,
• 1:20:55
  we understand the world enough to know that.
• 1:20:58
  Yeah. Yeah. F all of the above. Yeah. We understand
• 1:21:03
  the nature of the state. That's how, that's how
• 1:21:05
  it can only go that way. Oh my God. So dig this
• 1:21:09
  during the production in mid 2020, it just, it
• 1:21:12
  starts off perfect. A bunch of the distilleries
• 1:21:15
  step up and they're like, yeah, we'll help. And
• 1:21:17
  then the FDA steps in and goes, yeah, but you
• 1:21:19
  need to make sure you denature all of the alcohol
• 1:21:21
  so that it's not fit for drinking before you
• 1:21:23
  produce any hand sanitizer. So that stopped a
• 1:21:27
  bunch of the distilleries from doing it when
• 1:21:29
  they said they were going to do it. It held them
• 1:21:31
  back a couple of months and it increased the
• 1:21:32
  cost. Weird. Weird how regulation does that.
• 1:21:35
  So a number of distilleries that took the months
• 1:21:37
  to finally make this hand sanitizer and it cost
• 1:21:40
  more than it should have because of FDA denaturing
• 1:21:43
  regulations Then they get through all of it We're
• 1:21:47
  at the end of 2020 and these distilleries over
• 1:21:50
  like 900 of them get a letter in the mail from
• 1:21:53
  the FDA and Are being told that they owe over?
• 1:21:56
  $14 ,000 in fees the reason being is because
• 1:22:02
  the moment that they made the hand sanitizer
• 1:22:05
  they were classified as Not a compounding agency,
• 1:22:10
  but close to basic it's something to do with
• 1:22:14
  the cares act and it basically What they classify
• 1:22:20
  them as over -the -counter drug monograph facilities
• 1:22:23
  now? I don't know what the hell a monograph facility
• 1:22:25
  is but effectively it's an over -the -counter
• 1:22:27
  drug production site and per FDA regs that facility,
• 1:22:34
  aka the distillery, then owes the FDA over $14
• 1:22:39
  ,000 in fees, which go directly to the FDA to
• 1:22:46
  fund enforcement capabilities for these regulations.
• 1:22:51
  Beautiful. Yeah, it's perfect. Then as they start
• 1:22:56
  fighting it in January, They, a bunch of them
• 1:22:59
  get letters from the FDA saying they owe another
• 1:23:02
  14 grand for 2021. Sure. It's another year. Yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Cause it's another year and it's the beginning
• 1:23:10
  of the year. So they get slapped with another
• 1:23:14
  14 grand. And there's a bunch of them are still
• 1:23:20
  closed down. Oh yeah. They were part of the,
• 1:23:25
  the, the statistics of the businesses that closed
• 1:23:27
  and never reopened. A lot of them. Some of them
• 1:23:30
  finally did reopen. But at the time when all
• 1:23:33
  of this is going on, almost all of them are still
• 1:23:37
  closed out. So they're being lauded as local
• 1:23:41
  heroes. And even the government, by its own admission,
• 1:23:43
  is like, yeah, thanks to you guys, we could fill
• 1:23:46
  the need for hand sanitizer. That'll be $28 ,000.
• 1:23:49
  Thanks for your help. Also, you still aren't
• 1:23:51
  allowed to reopen. Get fucked. Hold on. Let's
• 1:23:54
  just pass an enormous devaluation of the currency
• 1:23:59
  bill, and we'll call it Okay, we're going to
• 1:24:01
  go cares to show them how much we care. So what
• 1:24:04
  do we make the C and the A and the R and the
• 1:24:05
  E stand for? Crap, assholes, retards, everybody
• 1:24:14
  sucks. You know who doesn't suck? I do. I'm reading
• 1:24:21
  it on Wiki. You got it. Perfect. We didn't even
• 1:24:24
  do an Ask Paul, but you nailed it. Here is a
• 1:24:28
  bunch of people who don't suck. Plumbers. What
• 1:24:31
  do we do to replace the aging? Retiring quickly
• 1:24:34
  and not being replaced plumbers in Idaho. Plumbing
• 1:24:37
  is now one of the most in -demand careers in
• 1:24:39
  Idaho. Both industry and state leaders, leaders,
• 1:24:43
  leaders are working to turn that around. Yeah,
• 1:24:45
  Morgan, industry leaders say it's a combination
• 1:24:48
  of an aging workforce, a booming population,
• 1:24:51
  and a new... Just in case you're new here and
• 1:24:53
  this is your first day and you're wondering why
• 1:24:54
  leaders got repeated three times, the people...
• 1:24:57
  In you know, the lawmaker leaders, they're not
• 1:25:01
  leaders. They're the opposite of leaders I like
• 1:25:03
  to harp on it because the mainstream does this
• 1:25:05
  constantly where they they they announce over
• 1:25:08
  and over and over that they the Representatives
• 1:25:11
  who are supposed to represent we the people who
• 1:25:15
  are the leaders Get referred to as leaders because
• 1:25:19
  glorious leaders the mainstream thinks Or I guess
• 1:25:22
  they all wish we lived in a monarchy. I'm not
• 1:25:24
  sure what their deal is, but boy, do they bow
• 1:25:26
  down to the state. Both industry and state leaders.
• 1:25:29
  Hold on, Scott. Speaking of being new here, clearly
• 1:25:31
  you still are because I hadn't finished my Scott
• 1:25:34
  shots. You actually just went right on. I mean,
• 1:25:36
  was I boring you? I'm sorry. So very deeply sorry.
• 1:25:39
  You had another one? I had another one and I
• 1:25:42
  wasn't even finished with the first. You asked.
• 1:25:43
  Oh, gee, sorry. Because there was there was part
• 1:25:46
  E where in 2022. I'm finishing. On pure fucking
• 1:25:51
  principle, I'm finishing. In 2022, the FDA came
• 1:25:55
  back on 200 of these distilleries and tried to
• 1:26:00
  slap them with more fines. Because after testing,
• 1:26:05
  apparently the FDA went post -COVID and tested
• 1:26:09
  everybody's hand sanitizers. And some of them
• 1:26:11
  were found to be out of compliance. Too much
• 1:26:14
  acetalaldehyde. I don't know how to say it, but
• 1:26:16
  that's how you say it for sure. Acetalaldehyde.
• 1:26:18
  enough, which won't kill you. Uh, but you know,
• 1:26:21
  in like, if you drink a drum, a 55 gallon drum
• 1:26:24
  of it, it will, it'll kill you. If you drink
• 1:26:27
  50 parts per million and a couple of these concoctions,
• 1:26:31
  yeah, water will kill you too. Well, yeah, I
• 1:26:32
  mean too much, too much of a good thing, baby.
• 1:26:34
  But you also get a subtle aldehyde from, you
• 1:26:37
  know, bananas and other things like it's found
• 1:26:40
  naturally in your fruits and in other things.
• 1:26:42
  And so you, you know, and in higher quantities
• 1:26:44
  than it was found in the hand sanitizer. So 2022
• 1:26:48
  COVID is over. These places are trying to pick
• 1:26:50
  up the pieces of their lives and their businesses.
• 1:26:53
  And the FDA comes back around when they're no,
• 1:26:56
  and by the way, Scott, none of them are, are
• 1:26:58
  producing hand sanitizer. They're, they're going
• 1:27:00
  back. They've all gone back to just distilling
• 1:27:02
  alcohol like there's like they would do. And
• 1:27:06
  two years later, the FDA comes back and says,
• 1:27:09
  we might find you for these. Yay. The good news
• 1:27:13
  is none of them actually had to pay the 28 grand.
• 1:27:16
  for the fines because there was such an uproar
• 1:27:19
  and it made headlines lickety split. And it was
• 1:27:22
  it was so egregious. I mean, it has to be epically
• 1:27:25
  egregious for it to get reversed. But it was
• 1:27:27
  it was reversed. It was so egregious and enough
• 1:27:30
  people complained that the FDA actually did back
• 1:27:31
  off. So fortunately, these distilleries did not
• 1:27:34
  have to pay for the for the privilege of helping
• 1:27:38
  the government with its hand sanitizer shortage.
• 1:27:42
  It also goes to show what what what a what a
• 1:27:46
  hollow phony baloney apparatus the entire The
• 1:27:50
  state finding you is anyway where it's like it
• 1:27:53
  looks it's so official. It sounds so official
• 1:27:55
  enforcement mechanisms exist and then Sometimes
• 1:27:59
  they're like, um, all right. Yeah, never mind.
• 1:28:03
  Oh, dude Well, I mean if we want to go down that
• 1:28:05
  rabbit show which we should at some point Not
• 1:28:07
  today cuz I got another Scott shots and I don't
• 1:28:09
  want to get rudely interrupted again All of the
• 1:28:13
  laws that they suspended during COVID. Yeah,
• 1:28:17
  I am the mayor of this podcast. Do not interrupt
• 1:28:20
  me when I'm talking. I do finally see it my way,
• 1:28:23
  Scott. Thank you. I am the mayor. OK, I thought
• 1:28:28
  you were still going there. Go right ahead. But
• 1:28:31
  all of the stuff they suspended during COVID,
• 1:28:34
  one of the biggest things in Idaho was the alcohol
• 1:28:36
  laws. They suspended a whole bunch of the alcohol
• 1:28:38
  laws. All of a sudden you could do cocktails
• 1:28:39
  to go. That was new. It had been illegal up until
• 1:28:42
  COVID. you could open container laws were suspended.
• 1:28:46
  The big thing was cocktails to go. You could
• 1:28:47
  actually sell packaged cocktails up and people
• 1:28:51
  could leave with them. Like made cocktails that
• 1:28:53
  you make at the bar, not like the canned cocktails,
• 1:28:55
  but actually I could make a cocktail at the bar,
• 1:28:58
  sell it to a patron and have them walk out with
• 1:29:01
  it. And all of a sudden, poof, it was legal from
• 1:29:05
  20. from the middle of the end of 2020 until
• 1:29:09
  they closed it back up around 2022, I think it
• 1:29:13
  was, or 2023. So it's illegal again. It is now
• 1:29:16
  illegal again in the state of Idaho. But I mean,
• 1:29:20
  did anybody die? Did we know any different? No,
• 1:29:23
  we just got some of our freedoms back. So that's
• 1:29:26
  one example in a gorillion examples of how capricious
• 1:29:29
  and arbitrary the state is. It's everybody talks
• 1:29:33
  as if we would die without the state. No, actually
• 1:29:35
  we would flourish. We would have a much better
• 1:29:37
  life. Now, speaking of much better lives and
• 1:29:41
  flourishing, here's my second Scott shots for
• 1:29:43
  you. Okay. In 2020, there were 9 ,092 breweries
• 1:29:51
  in the U .S. in 2024. How many do you think there
• 1:29:58
  were? Okay. So that well, it's almost two years
• 1:30:02
  ago already now. So. We are. Yeah. And so that's
• 1:30:07
  OK. Well, and I want to you said, you know, COVID
• 1:30:10
  is over post -COVID when you were talking about
• 1:30:12
  the year 2022. I just want to be clear that when
• 1:30:16
  you say COVID is over, COVID ended overnight
• 1:30:19
  when the mainstream narrative, the algo scroll,
• 1:30:23
  started shoving Ukraine down everyone's throats,
• 1:30:26
  literally overnight. The Facebook, the Facebook
• 1:30:30
  profile wreaths went from I'm vaxxed to the I
• 1:30:36
  stand with Ukraine. That's how we know. Yes.
• 1:30:39
  The nature of the air didn't change and never
• 1:30:42
  changed. The only thing that changed was the
• 1:30:45
  hollow space in between people's ears and how
• 1:30:48
  they were perceiving reality from being scared
• 1:30:50
  of the flu to being scared of Russians. Pretty
• 1:30:53
  much it. Twenty twenty four from nine just over
• 1:30:58
  nine thousand. It had to have been it had to
• 1:31:02
  have gone down, I'd say about two thousand. So
• 1:31:04
  we're probably I would say we're looking at like
• 1:31:06
  maybe seventy six hundred and change at that
• 1:31:08
  time. I need a buzzer, a buzzer and I need a
• 1:31:14
  bell. Oh, no. So we're just going to go with
• 1:31:17
  this. You know how much rejection I face every
• 1:31:19
  day. Wrong. But I could absolutely forgive you
• 1:31:24
  for thinking that. And I did, too, when I was
• 1:31:26
  looking this up for you. By the way, I picked
• 1:31:29
  an industry that courses near and dear to your
• 1:31:31
  heart. You know, like the breweries. So I thought
• 1:31:34
  you might have a chance of getting this, but
• 1:31:36
  I looked it up and went, Oh man, Scott has a
• 1:31:38
  chance because this is well within his, at least
• 1:31:39
  his former industry, but this was very counterintuitive
• 1:31:42
  in 2024. They actually were 9 ,842. It went up.
• 1:31:49
  It did. I was shocked to see it. I was absolutely
• 1:31:52
  shocked to see it. Now there is something significant
• 1:31:56
  about 2024, but I'm not going to spoil it. Now.
• 1:32:00
  Twenty twenty six. What is the projected number
• 1:32:02
  of breweries at the end of twenty twenty six?
• 1:32:04
  So then now that's probably more accurate is
• 1:32:07
  that that seven can change numbers. I'm sure
• 1:32:11
  it's gone down. Well, geez, now I'm guessing
• 1:32:14
  myself. Yeah, no, I would stick with that same
• 1:32:17
  guess. I would be like, well, maybe maybe that's
• 1:32:19
  twenty twenty seven thousand ish. Yeah, seventy
• 1:32:21
  five hundred. All right. You're close. You're
• 1:32:24
  you're close ish. Close ish. So you're telling
• 1:32:29
  me there's a chance. Yeah, close enough. $8 ,179.
• 1:32:34
  OK, so down but not quite. Now, why 2024 is significant
• 1:32:38
  and why I use from 2020 to 2024 is because 2024
• 1:32:41
  was the last year that the number of breweries
• 1:32:45
  opening outpaced the number of breweries closing.
• 1:32:49
  2025 and 2026, it has gone the opposite direction
• 1:32:52
  and hard. So the projection for 2026, cause it's
• 1:32:56
  not done, but is 8179, which is oddly specific.
• 1:33:00
  I'm not sure how they get super specific like
• 1:33:02
  that, but what really surprised me was the 2024
• 1:33:07
  being 9 ,800 and change versus 2020 being 9 ,000
• 1:33:10
  and change. I figured it would be significantly
• 1:33:12
  decreased. Now what is true and here's where
• 1:33:15
  here's a good case of how like you can make the
• 1:33:18
  numbers kind of do anything and numbers can be
• 1:33:20
  very counterintuitive and but still indicative.
• 1:33:26
  Breweries still close at an epically high rate.
• 1:33:30
  We're talking, so when I was looking this up,
• 1:33:31
  it was in between three and 400 a year. And that's
• 1:33:36
  just across the US. That's not global. That's
• 1:33:37
  across the US. Three to 400 breweries per year
• 1:33:41
  close. COVID was, the 2021 was especially egregious.
• 1:33:47
  It was like 800. But crazily enough, I don't
• 1:33:54
  I just people are either that stupid that crazy
• 1:33:56
  or that cool or all the above more breweries
• 1:34:00
  Opened up then closed. I don't know how I don't
• 1:34:04
  know what people are thinking like and if you
• 1:34:06
  would look around and you but Brewers aren't
• 1:34:08
  actually that smart. Most of them just like beer.
• 1:34:10
  So they're like I like beer I'll open a brewery
• 1:34:11
  and I can speak from I could speak to this because
• 1:34:13
  Tons and tons of my friends were brewers and
• 1:34:15
  when I did the bulldog pipe and cigar and the
• 1:34:17
  racketeer I was pretty into the local brewing
• 1:34:19
  scene. This was a big part of what we did And
• 1:34:22
  most of them would say the same thing. Brewers
• 1:34:23
  aren't smart. If they were, they wouldn't be
• 1:34:26
  brewing. So, you know, most people are like,
• 1:34:30
  I like beer. I'll do a brewery. And then they
• 1:34:31
  realize, oh, man, this is a terrible way to make
• 1:34:34
  money. It's a great way to lose money. Yeah,
• 1:34:37
  dude, three to four hundred a year close, but
• 1:34:40
  more would open up. I couldn't believe that.
• 1:34:42
  Yeah, I mean, 2025 now as I'm thinking about
• 1:34:45
  it, you know, for one, there's a bunch of inertia.
• 1:34:47
  You know, like a bunch of people with plans,
• 1:34:49
  you know, in 2018, 2019, 2020. There they were
• 1:34:54
  of the opinion, which we said on the last show,
• 1:34:56
  you know, the the crap ring industry largely
• 1:34:59
  responded like you would expect the commies to,
• 1:35:01
  which is complete acquiescence to the state and
• 1:35:04
  a total misread on every every facet of reality,
• 1:35:08
  believing that it was a pause button and inertia
• 1:35:11
  from plans that existed pre 2020. And then going
• 1:35:14
  like, OK, well, we've pressed play again here
• 1:35:16
  in 2023. So let's just continue on with our plan.
• 1:35:20
  So there's probably a bunch of that. There's
• 1:35:23
  also the part where a lot of the consequences
• 1:35:25
  took more time to come to fruition. Like I'll
• 1:35:30
  give you a couple of large scale examples. Let's
• 1:35:32
  use the 21st Amendment Brewery and Rogue Brewing,
• 1:35:35
  which were two large distribution networks, craft
• 1:35:38
  brewers that had been around for, you know, decade,
• 1:35:42
  two decades were distributing coast to coast,
• 1:35:45
  you know, package. They had brew pubs. They,
• 1:35:47
  you know, they were huge craft beer players.
• 1:35:49
  Well, they'd be considered the middle. They'd
• 1:35:52
  be considered mid -tier size -wise because they're
• 1:35:55
  not the macros like Budweiser or Bud Light. Not
• 1:35:57
  even close. Or Michelob or whatever. But yeah,
• 1:35:59
  not even remotely close. But they're also not
• 1:36:02
  microbrews. So they were the in -betweeners.
• 1:36:05
  And the mid -sized breweries basically would
• 1:36:06
  be the way to put rogue. And jeez, and Palace
• 1:36:10
  Point and all those others. Yeah, your Sierra
• 1:36:12
  Nevadas, your dog fish heads, your more established
• 1:36:16
  craft breweries. Yeah, Midsize, exactly. And
• 1:36:18
  most of them are either gone or have been bought
• 1:36:21
  up by AB. Yeah, and that's the point, right?
• 1:36:26
  I just did right. That's the point, right? Right?
• 1:36:29
  Like, I have to affirm my own stupid statement.
• 1:36:32
  God. Right. See, the milieu gets you. Right.
• 1:36:35
  I mean, the lack of breweries is literally killing
• 1:36:37
  people. Right. They took some time to show the
• 1:36:43
  devastation of what happened in changing of people's
• 1:36:47
  habits permanently in those mass psychosis years.
• 1:36:51
  Both rogue and 21st Amendment folded in 2025,
• 1:36:55
  a full five years later. But the damage was done.
• 1:37:00
  The depth charge went off in 2020. So, yeah,
• 1:37:03
  there's also just it took time for and then they,
• 1:37:06
  by the way, a lot of them still have never done
• 1:37:08
  the math on what happened. I think we've mentioned
• 1:37:10
  this before. They'll still blame inanimate objects
• 1:37:13
  like, quote, the pandemic. Yep. Anyway. Yeah,
• 1:37:17
  which is which is wild. And I mean, never in
• 1:37:19
  a million years, 10 years ago, even five years
• 1:37:22
  ago, you know, even in 2020, 21, if you had asked
• 1:37:25
  me to lay money down on the betting line for
• 1:37:27
  like a brewery like rogue closing. I would have
• 1:37:32
  taken that bet and I've been like, nah, no way.
• 1:37:34
  Rogue might struggle. They might get bought out,
• 1:37:37
  but I don't ever see them closing. Chapter seven,
• 1:37:41
  baby. See you later. Yeah. Well, it couldn't
• 1:37:43
  have happened to nicer communists. Amen. Okay.
• 1:37:48
  It's shitty, but there's a tinge of satisfaction
• 1:37:51
  from me. I got to be honest, which is like your
• 1:37:54
  own shitty policies, your shitty philosophy and
• 1:37:57
  your shitty leader, leader, leaders that you
• 1:37:59
  voted for did that to you. And I'll say the same
• 1:38:02
  thing about people now when it comes to the Trump
• 1:38:04
  stuff. It'd be like, yeah, you like paying more
• 1:38:06
  for stuff? I don't. It sucks that you guys make
• 1:38:09
  me pay more for stuff because of your stupidity.
• 1:38:11
  But boy, I hope you guys are enjoying it. If
• 1:38:14
  only somebody would have warned you. Let's go.
• 1:38:21
  Do you want to do that plumber story or should
• 1:38:23
  I not? Either either that or again, I'm glad
• 1:38:28
  you finally see it my way. Thank you, Scott.
• 1:38:29
  Do not interrupt me. Did we have any plans to
• 1:38:32
  cover the May Day? I don't have May Day audio.
• 1:38:37
  Do you? Oh No, no, but I had the article that
• 1:38:41
  I thought was just it was it was actually as
• 1:38:43
  short as it was stupid Oh, yeah, go for it Friday
• 1:38:48
  was May Day and all 12 communists Were out in
• 1:38:54
  force anybody without a job was out there The
• 1:38:57
  protesters gathered on US 95 probably for a slash
• 1:39:02
  no Kings protest as well. I'm sure there was
• 1:39:04
  a lot of overlap there and their demands. They
• 1:39:09
  had a list of demands and the Coeur d 'Alene
• 1:39:11
  press actually printed it quote to demonstrate
• 1:39:14
  the power of the people. Many of us will be refusing
• 1:39:17
  business as usual. The release continued no work,
• 1:39:21
  no school, no shopping. Take that capitalism,
• 1:39:26
  their demands per their release. There's only
• 1:39:29
  three, by the way, three demands here. Number
• 1:39:31
  one, tax the rich. Our families, not their fortunes
• 1:39:35
  come first. I'm not sure how those are correlated
• 1:39:37
  at all, but okay. Number two, no ice, no war,
• 1:39:42
  no private army serving authoritarian power.
• 1:39:47
  Should we tell them, Scott? I don't know if communism
• 1:39:50
  works. Okay. Number three, hands off our vote.
• 1:39:57
  Expand democracy, not corporate power. Is their
• 1:40:00
  vote connected to their pants or something like
• 1:40:03
  that? Anyways, those were their demands. And
• 1:40:07
  then the article ends. That was it. That was
• 1:40:11
  the article. Good job, Portland Press. Good job,
• 1:40:13
  communists. Proud of you guys. Some fine work.
• 1:40:21
  One thing I do agree with them is I'm pretty
• 1:40:23
  anti -ice in my water as well. Room temp water
• 1:40:26
  is the way to go. Most of the rest of the world
• 1:40:29
  is, for whatever reason, really anti -ice. You
• 1:40:32
  just can't get ice cubes anywhere else you go.
• 1:40:34
  It's a very American thing. I mean, they used
• 1:40:36
  to pay to have ice harvested from frozen lakes.
• 1:40:39
  How far we've fallen. Anytime anybody always
• 1:40:44
  posts on the social media about how superior
• 1:40:46
  European, it's not even communism, but European
• 1:40:50
  economics are, I just laugh in the number of
• 1:40:54
  AC units that I own. Well, who is going to fix
• 1:40:58
  the plumbing? You know what we don't have? We
• 1:40:59
  don't have heat stroke deaths every summer. Thanks,
• 1:41:03
  Europe. Here. Well, who's going to fix? Yeah.
• 1:41:08
  Here's your segue. Speaking of AC and plumbing.
• 1:41:11
  Plumbing is now one of the most in -demand careers
• 1:41:14
  in Idaho. Both industry and state leaders, leaders,
• 1:41:18
  leaders are working to turn that around. Yeah,
• 1:41:20
  Morgan, industry leaders say it's a combination
• 1:41:23
  of an aging workforce, a booming population and
• 1:41:26
  a new generation that may not have the full.
• 1:41:29
  Did you mean to say a boomer population? The
• 1:41:32
  boomer population, which, by the way, I already
• 1:41:34
  have an idea for the show art. I want to see
• 1:41:39
  a lineup of all of our top state leader, leader,
• 1:41:44
  leaders, bureaucrats in plumbers outfits. OK,
• 1:41:48
  well, it's kind of if we call the show Rice Roach,
• 1:41:50
  that won't make any sense. But I don't care.
• 1:41:53
  I love it. Well, then you can put them in pest
• 1:41:55
  control outfits. Rice Roach. Hey, I love it.
• 1:41:59
  Or it could be checking the plumbing. Yeah, Morgan
• 1:42:02
  industry leaders say it's a combination of an
• 1:42:05
  aging workforce, a booming population and a new
• 1:42:08
  generation that may not have the full picture
• 1:42:10
  of the job. The need is there. Idaho is growing
• 1:42:13
  fast and the people who keep our water running
• 1:42:16
  can't keep up. It was really prevalent. I would
• 1:42:18
  say about five or six years ago when the Valley
• 1:42:21
  started it really see a boom. Joshua McQueenie,
• 1:42:23
  a manager at Prime Plumbing in Caldwell, says
• 1:42:26
  the strain grows tighter with all the new infrastructure
• 1:42:28
  demands in the state. We haven't seen a slowdown.
• 1:42:31
  The Idaho Workforce Development Council says
• 1:42:33
  in 2023, plumbers were ranked 33rd in the state
• 1:42:36
  among in -demand jobs. But by 2024, that demand
• 1:42:39
  for plumbers rose to the top of the list, then
• 1:42:42
  fell to second last year. That means demand for
• 1:42:45
  plumbers is higher than the supply of qualified
• 1:42:47
  candidates. I think where we fail in the plumbing
• 1:42:50
  industry is reaching out to the younger generation.
• 1:42:53
  McWinnie says the average age of a plumber is
• 1:42:55
  50 years old and each retirement is hard to replace.
• 1:42:59
  That's changing though. That is changing. Wait,
• 1:43:02
  was that really a sound drop that they were about
• 1:43:04
  to use? A toilet flush? It's a nat pop of a toilet
• 1:43:07
  flushing, yes. No way. You're gonna love the
• 1:43:11
  voice over the nat pop. They think that plumbers
• 1:43:18
  just deal with poop. They think that plumbers
• 1:43:20
  just deal with poop over the sound of a flushing
• 1:43:23
  toilet. Thank you so much. They also deal with
• 1:43:29
  septic systems. They think that plumbers just
• 1:43:34
  deal with poop. They don't understand that plumbers
• 1:43:38
  are in construction, the service industry, commercial
• 1:43:43
  industry. There's plumbers that work in dams
• 1:43:46
  on boats. The state is trying to close that gap.
• 1:43:51
  Marco Serratos manages trade and industry programs
• 1:43:54
  at the Idaho Division of Career Technical Education.
• 1:43:57
  What are you doing? I'm fixing the plumber shortage.
• 1:44:00
  Yeah, I'm sitting at my desk fixing the plumber
• 1:44:02
  shortage. And what did she say? Because you know
• 1:44:04
  what fixes the plumber shortage? Bureaucrats.
• 1:44:07
  The state. It's always the state. Oh, wait, hold
• 1:44:11
  on. Let me guess. At the end of this report,
• 1:44:12
  it's going to be like, and we're building another
• 1:44:14
  program because apparently the launch program
• 1:44:16
  wasn't enough. We're going to build another program.
• 1:44:20
  Give us your money so we can create more plumbers.
• 1:44:24
  Plumbers are in construction, the service industry,
• 1:44:30
  commercial industry. There's plumbers that work
• 1:44:32
  in dams on boats. The state is trying to close
• 1:44:35
  that gap. Marco Serratos manages trade and industry
• 1:44:40
  programs at the Idaho Division of Career Technical
• 1:44:43
  Education. He says without cutting corners on
• 1:44:45
  quality, local colleges started to restructure
• 1:44:48
  apprenticeship programs to make education easier
• 1:44:51
  to access. How do we get these students the education
• 1:44:54
  they need, but also in a way that's delivered
• 1:44:59
  quickly? The CTE department is advocating for
• 1:45:02
  more programs in high schools where students
• 1:45:05
  can get a head start with credit. Hey, I have
• 1:45:08
  a solution. Guess what? What? People who homeschool
• 1:45:11
  are already on top of this shit because you know
• 1:45:13
  what? What? We're not stuck in classrooms for
• 1:45:16
  eight hours a day. You know what we do with our
• 1:45:17
  kids? We teach them things, worldly things, and
• 1:45:20
  then they get apprenticeships and then they learn
• 1:45:22
  trades and they learn how to do stuff in the
• 1:45:24
  real life before they leave the house. That's
• 1:45:27
  how you do it, you jackasses. How are you doing
• 1:45:30
  education without large amounts of money? I thought
• 1:45:32
  money is education. Turns out paying teachers
• 1:45:38
  more wasn't the answer all along. What? Turns
• 1:45:41
  out, who knew? Actually, my nephew, who is 17,
• 1:45:46
  has been apprenticing for an electrician position
• 1:45:49
  to become a journeyman. He's already been, what
• 1:45:52
  is he now, 10 months? Almost a year? He's been
• 1:45:55
  apprenticing, I think, for almost a year now.
• 1:45:58
  Apprenticing is that some sort of state program?
• 1:46:00
  That's an acronym a P like what does it stand
• 1:46:02
  for? Yeah, it stands for I don't know I had something
• 1:46:08
  No, no tax the beautiful part is no taxpayer
• 1:46:13
  money required Just just people doing people
• 1:46:16
  things and you know living their lives and going
• 1:46:18
  Oh, hey, here's a career that might work for
• 1:46:20
  our son and their son going Yeah, I'm interested
• 1:46:22
  in this career and then they're like, okay Well,
• 1:46:24
  you have time to do this around homeschooling.
• 1:46:26
  So There you go. I don't understand. It's amazing,
• 1:46:30
  right? I know. Well, it's crazy. It's a concept
• 1:46:33
  so amazing that it worked for 10 ,000 years and
• 1:46:35
  we only stopped doing it in the 1880s. But without
• 1:46:39
  funding to start programs or teachers willing
• 1:46:41
  to sign up to teach them. There was people to
• 1:46:46
  leave. See, you never give me those kinds of
• 1:46:48
  Ask Pauls because you know I'll win those. Too
• 1:46:50
  easy. But without funding to start programs.
• 1:46:53
  But without funding, what are we to do? Without
• 1:46:55
  funding. How will we ever how did we ever get
• 1:46:59
  plumbers before we had public school? How how
• 1:47:02
  can we ever get the things we need? But without
• 1:47:06
  funding to start programs or teachers willing
• 1:47:08
  to sign up to teach them the pipeline Oh Backed
• 1:47:12
  up teachers who don't know anything They don't
• 1:47:14
  know they don't you mean teachers who don't have
• 1:47:16
  real -world skills because the only thing that
• 1:47:18
  they have to be to become a teacher is certification
• 1:47:20
  teacher certification You know most teachers
• 1:47:23
  go to college for teaching basically at the education
• 1:47:27
  sector, they go through, they take their prereqs,
• 1:47:30
  they take the required courses, then they have
• 1:47:31
  to go get their extra shit for teachers to be
• 1:47:34
  certified. And then they go into teaching and
• 1:47:37
  they've never had a real job in their lives.
• 1:47:40
  You insulted our heroic teachers and you stepped
• 1:47:44
  all over this amazing mainstream media pun to
• 1:47:48
  sign up to teach them. The pipeline stays backed
• 1:47:51
  up. The pipeline stays backed up. I'm not even
• 1:47:56
  going to acknowledge that with a response. them
• 1:47:58
  the pipeline stays backed up getting people to
• 1:48:02
  leave the industry where they're making a lot
• 1:48:03
  of money to go into education where it doesn't
• 1:48:06
  pay as well what shut up dude has anybody ever
• 1:48:10
  called a plumber have any of these people ever
• 1:48:12
  called a plumber i think he's saying you don't
• 1:48:15
  need trade schools for plumbing you need apprenticeships
• 1:48:18
  but you could do trade schools and if you did
• 1:48:20
  do trade schools there absolutely is a profit
• 1:48:22
  incentive there 100 and they would get paid just
• 1:48:26
  fine and Furthermore, I imagine most or all of
• 1:48:30
  the people in those kinds of facilities who would
• 1:48:32
  be teaching the trades as as is the case now
• 1:48:35
  worked in those trades and have the experience
• 1:48:40
  and probably have the financial incentive because
• 1:48:43
  they ran a business or they were in business
• 1:48:45
  in those businesses and they probably did OK
• 1:48:47
  and they're switching over. I mean, everybody's
• 1:48:50
  situation is different, but come on. But that
• 1:48:52
  dude statism is like. What am I aiming at here?
• 1:48:58
  There's a term and I can't think of it, but whatever
• 1:49:01
  non -creativity is, uncreativity, being non -creative
• 1:49:05
  or boring or stupid or lame, the inability to
• 1:49:09
  creatively problem solve, that is the coin of
• 1:49:11
  the realm of statists. Because the only thing
• 1:49:14
  they can ever think of is we need a government
• 1:49:17
  program. We could never happen without a government
• 1:49:20
  program. All of the participants in this program
• 1:49:24
  that we're looking for the funding to program
• 1:49:26
  the funding with are gonna all wear the same
• 1:49:28
  silver jumpsuits. But we don't have the funding
• 1:49:32
  for the jumpsuits, so we could never ever get
• 1:49:34
  this done. We need the funding. It can't be solved.
• 1:49:38
  We need this money. Money. People to leave the
• 1:49:43
  industry where they're making a lot of money
• 1:49:45
  to go into education where it doesn't pay as
• 1:49:47
  well becomes a barrier for us. If Idaho can't
• 1:49:50
  turn that corner, Serato says the impact will
• 1:49:53
  show up in your wallet. Which actually is kind
• 1:49:56
  of a funny acknowledgement that they're making.
• 1:49:58
  It's sort of a funny thing they're admitting
• 1:50:00
  there. It's like, yeah, being a plumber pays
• 1:50:02
  too well, so they don't want to stop being plumbers.
• 1:50:04
  They don't want to be teachers. They want to
• 1:50:06
  continue to be plumbers. I mean, like, oh. Thanks
• 1:50:10
  for saying that part out loud. Well, and you
• 1:50:11
  can do this. That's what apprenticeship is. Somebody
• 1:50:14
  getting paid to be a plumber is teaching somebody
• 1:50:16
  else to be a plumber. Yeah. Well, call me crazy,
• 1:50:19
  but that's how it's been done for 10 ,000 years
• 1:50:21
  of human history. I mean, as long as there's
• 1:50:22
  been trades, that's how it was always done. Apprenticeship
• 1:50:26
  always. But one of the reasons why we can't,
• 1:50:30
  you don't see that almost ever anymore is because
• 1:50:33
  we have a K through 12 K through 16, I guess.
• 1:50:38
  I don't know what you'd call it, because 16 is
• 1:50:40
  not a grade, but K through 12 plus college, where
• 1:50:43
  for their entire formative lives, our kids are
• 1:50:47
  stuck in schools that resemble prisons, and they're
• 1:50:49
  told where to go, when they can go, and they're
• 1:50:51
  taught nothing of worldly value. Nothing. They're
• 1:50:54
  taught obedience to the state. They're taught
• 1:50:56
  conformity and obedience. And they don't have
• 1:50:59
  the ability or the time to do apprenticeships,
• 1:51:02
  because they're there in prison for eight to
• 1:51:03
  10 hours a day. Go to school. You're there for
• 1:51:06
  eight hours. Then go to track and field or basketball
• 1:51:09
  That's another couple hours every other day and
• 1:51:12
  then all of a sudden you look up and you've done
• 1:51:14
  nothing but play sports and gone to public school
• 1:51:17
  When not that long ago it was alright, you know
• 1:51:20
  what you need to know You're always learning
• 1:51:24
  Here's some real -life experience Also, here's
• 1:51:27
  a trade and here's somebody who will take you
• 1:51:29
  on and you have the time to do it and you're
• 1:51:31
  16 You're 14. You're 15. You're 17 you're learning
• 1:51:35
  as you go. That's how it used to be. That's how
• 1:51:39
  I think it will be again, Scott. I think the
• 1:51:41
  worm is turning. They call Gen Alpha, not Gen
• 1:51:45
  Z. The tail end of Gen Z, I think they might
• 1:51:48
  lump in, but Gen Alpha, they're calling the tool
• 1:51:50
  belt generation. And the last parts of Gen Z.
• 1:51:53
  So like my teenage daughter, she's 15. She's
• 1:51:55
  the last couple of years of Gen Z. My son, he's
• 1:51:58
  11. He's Gen Alpha, sort of towards the beginning
• 1:52:02
  of Gen Alpha. They're the tool belt generation.
• 1:52:06
  Meaning they're going to be the ones that are
• 1:52:08
  going to eschew college in huge swaths and take
• 1:52:11
  on the trades because they know better. They
• 1:52:13
  know college is a sham. They're not going to
• 1:52:15
  go 100k into debt like their millennial idiot
• 1:52:17
  parents, aunts and uncles did. And then, you
• 1:52:20
  know, come out on the other side with no viable
• 1:52:22
  skills and 100k in debt. No, no, they're looking
• 1:52:25
  at that. They're like, fuck that. I'll go be
• 1:52:27
  an electrician. Well, and the millennials were,
• 1:52:29
  I'll go into it. by their boomer parents who
• 1:52:32
  didn't give them, really present any other options
• 1:52:35
  and quite looked down on blue -collar work. That's
• 1:52:39
  true pervade that messaging ubiquitously. So
• 1:52:43
  because I can hear how people like, you know,
• 1:52:45
  the the status inclined, you know objected. Okay.
• 1:52:48
  Yeah, that's really fantastic You and arco idiots,
• 1:52:50
  but you can't have apprenticeships if nobody's
• 1:52:54
  interested in doing it man. So what are we supposed
• 1:52:55
  to do? Nobody's interested in doing it Yeah,
• 1:52:57
  because you set up a whole system like Paul just
• 1:52:59
  described that squashed interest in you didn't
• 1:53:03
  really didn't really cultivate interest in anything,
• 1:53:06
  actually, let alone the trades. So you're now
• 1:53:09
  leaning, you're saying like, well, why don't
• 1:53:11
  we just do more of that same system? We'll just
• 1:53:14
  create another program from that system that
• 1:53:16
  squashed all this in the first place. Also, I
• 1:53:21
  don't know how it is this easy to forget, but
• 1:53:23
  on the job training has always been a thing.
• 1:53:26
  When did we forget this part? If I'm a plumber,
• 1:53:30
  or I guess if I'm the owner of a plumbing company,
• 1:53:33
  I have a vested interest in taking on good employees
• 1:53:38
  and sometimes taking on apprentices. There are,
• 1:53:42
  depending on who you talk to, you prefer it because
• 1:53:44
  then you can train somebody up in the way you
• 1:53:46
  want them. You can pay them, you can pay them
• 1:53:49
  starting wages, which is always nice to do as
• 1:53:52
  an employer because that's, you know, you pay
• 1:53:54
  people what their value is and their value is
• 1:53:56
  low while they're training, but they still get
• 1:53:58
  something. That's the trade off, right? They
• 1:54:00
  learn a trade. They learn a skill. They get paid.
• 1:54:03
  a low wage, and then they get better and they
• 1:54:06
  get paid better. They get trained up the way
• 1:54:09
  the company owner wants. And then, you know,
• 1:54:11
  that's how you replace the workforce. That's
• 1:54:13
  how that's always happened. Well, and that's
• 1:54:16
  not rocket science for crying out loud. It's
• 1:54:19
  it's actually what was it? Something else you
• 1:54:22
  and I dealt with a couple of weeks back where
• 1:54:23
  you're like, it's so stupid. The fact that we're
• 1:54:25
  even discussing it is stupid. That's like every
• 1:54:29
  other topic on this program. Yeah, I suppose
• 1:54:32
  that's fair. Well, and that's another thing that
• 1:54:34
  goes back to the apparatus of officialdom that
• 1:54:37
  has that has hammered so thoroughly independent
• 1:54:41
  proprietors like plumbers with taxes and regulatory
• 1:54:45
  burden on their operations that had they if they
• 1:54:49
  were free from that, it would be infinitely easier
• 1:54:52
  to. do stuff like have apprentices or pay more
• 1:54:55
  employees or otherwise generate the workforce
• 1:54:58
  that will replace you or keep your company going
• 1:55:00
  or work alongside you or whatever. The thing
• 1:55:03
  that the mainstream narrative advocates for,
• 1:55:07
  like more programs to generate plumbers, that's
• 1:55:10
  the apparatus that's responsible for the shortage
• 1:55:12
  in the first place. Correct. There's a little
• 1:55:18
  more left on this, but you know what? Forget
• 1:55:20
  it. It's enough. It's just all the time. All
• 1:55:29
  right, we are at the end. Let's do a final, very
• 1:55:32
  short public service message on behalf of the
• 1:55:37
  mainstream fire messaging of Idaho. from the
• 1:55:41
  Know ID Show to you. This state of Idaho is adopting
• 1:55:43
  the Ready Set Go wildfire evacuation program
• 1:55:46
  as the statewide standard for public evacuation.
• 1:55:49
  Take notes, guys. Under the Ready Set Go framework,
• 1:55:52
  evacuation messaging is structured into progressive
• 1:55:55
  action levels. Those are designed to communicate
• 1:55:57
  risk and public response. The first stage is
• 1:56:00
  ready, which means to prepare for possible evacuation.
• 1:56:03
  Set is the next stage, which means to be ready
• 1:56:06
  to leave at a moment's notice. And then finally,
• 1:56:08
  go means to leave right away. Did you write all
• 1:56:11
  that down? What? Well, it's very important. I
• 1:56:17
  mean, you know, many, I would say at least between
• 1:56:19
  five and 10 burrito supreme leaders got paid
• 1:56:23
  $150 ,000 a year to come up with that plan. That's
• 1:56:29
  probably a true statement. Oh, man. You know,
• 1:56:32
  I was actually in a great mood when we started
• 1:56:34
  this podcast. I was in a great mood and I just
• 1:56:39
  realized I progressively devolved into just Seething
• 1:56:43
  anger. I'm going to go. I'm going to have to
• 1:56:44
  go outside and touch grass as the kids would
• 1:56:46
  say. Just remember that it's okay. It's still
• 1:56:49
  a beautiful day. Government still sucks just
• 1:56:52
  as hard or harder as it did yesterday. Black
• 1:56:57
  Hill. Oh, man. No, life was good. It's got to
• 1:57:03
  remember life was good. We still have running
• 1:57:04
  water for now till we run out of plumbers. The
• 1:57:07
  toilets flush as of today. For now. Yes, all
• 1:57:13
  of this really is not meant to be a black pill.
• 1:57:16
  I'm saying that tongue in cheek. What I hope
• 1:57:19
  that you guys are getting out of this and our
• 1:57:21
  intention is actually to shrink your amygdala
• 1:57:26
  and just remember to not get spun up over all
• 1:57:30
  of the different mainstream feedings that you're
• 1:57:32
  getting of all of this baloney. Like it's just
• 1:57:34
  all baloney. And like once you sort of realize
• 1:57:37
  that, it's hopefully... a way to be a little
• 1:57:40
  more grounded and a little calmer. That's how
• 1:57:42
  I find this format to be helpful. And I hope
• 1:57:44
  you do too. Yeah, we are the Hammond Swiss sandwich
• 1:57:50
  in a world of baloney hoagies. That's the improv
• 1:57:56
  training right there. This was episode number
