  No ID is meant for a sane audience. No ID may
• 0:08
  contain Liberty -oriented content. PINCO discretion
• 0:12
  is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci
• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey, from North Idaho. Welcome
• 0:27
  back. It's No ID, Idaho's mainstream narrative
• 0:30
  deconstruction. I'm Scott. Hello internet, I'm
• 0:34
  Paul welcome back indeed There is significantly
• 0:38
  less smoke in the air today. Isn't that wonderful?
• 0:41
  Oh, it's so nice summers back just for the very
• 0:44
  tail end of the like, you know 84 days of warm
• 0:49
  weather we get we got a few of them back here
• 0:51
  at the end feels good August has been a little
• 0:54
  cooler than it usually is and I'm not complaining
• 0:56
  about it. I like it cold though when I'm a northern
• 0:59
  boy. I like it I do too even though I'm Southern
• 1:02
  California originally I'm supposed to like surfing
• 1:06
  and they you know putting the aluminum foil At
• 1:10
  the at my face to reflect the Sun while I'm in
• 1:12
  the lounge chair, you know with the cucumbers
• 1:14
  over my eyes No, I've always from a snowboard.
• 1:17
  I talky. I think I was born in the wrong province.
• 1:21
  I Hear California has some mountains and places
• 1:24
  where it snows I've heard we live up in the mountains
• 1:30
  It's true. It's true. California is a big state.
• 1:33
  There's all sorts of terrain and topography.
• 1:37
  It gets the reputation of the palm trees and
• 1:39
  the coast, but there's plenty of other altitude
• 1:42
  and snow sports and cold weather. It depends
• 1:46
  where you go. I mean, Mendocino is a whole lot
• 1:48
  different than San Diego. I just like the idea.
• 1:53
  Well, really it's the visual I have. Of you just
• 1:56
  with the cucumbers on your eyes looking all hot
• 1:59
  to trot out there catching some rays. I'm sure
• 2:01
  you bronze really well Well, I have olive skin
• 2:04
  like your wife uh -huh You know what got me to
• 2:10
  thinking here at the top here in the the intro
• 2:12
  you know should we just strike the the Liberty
• 2:15
  oriented content part of the Show open because
• 2:19
  I feel like a lot of people the the notion of
• 2:21
  Liberty oriented content you know it's we warn
• 2:24
  them you know listener discretion but i think
• 2:27
  a lot of people they have a real problem with
• 2:29
  liberty oriented content as we were discussing
• 2:31
  in our pre -show show before we hit the record
• 2:33
  button people not not not fans of that now you
• 2:36
  guys are no good man you look you're into what
• 2:37
  now liberty i would submit that those aren't
• 2:43
  the listeners we want They're not interested
• 2:45
  in Liberty. You're probably listening to the
• 2:47
  wrong No, you're definitely listening to the
• 2:49
  wrong listening to the wrong podcast Or maybe
• 2:51
  you're listening to exactly the podcast you should
• 2:53
  be and if somehow you've mustered the fortitude
• 2:55
  to continue listening to something you think
• 2:57
  you disagree with Yeah, give us a chance to open
• 3:01
  your mind a little bit. I Love that and I hope
• 3:05
  that'd be really cool if we had some hate listens
• 3:06
  out there that maybe we're being converted slowly
• 3:09
  But surely that I would love it, too What I'm
• 3:13
  what I'm more concerned with is that I'm very
• 3:15
  unconcerned with the the notion of the people
• 3:18
  who think they are for Liberty But then actually
• 3:22
  react badly to a lot of the things that are brought
• 3:25
  up It's not unique to us that just is conceptually
• 3:28
  that copper They get brought up on the show and
• 3:30
  in in forums similar and they think they're Liberty
• 3:33
  oriented people but in point of fact I Mean that
• 3:39
  that's most people man. I've been I've been proselytizing
• 3:43
  the good news of libertarianism for 15 years
• 3:46
  now because I started as a neocon and kind of
• 3:49
  went to more libertarian, conservative, constitutionalist
• 3:51
  -ish, then found my way to the minarchy. But
• 3:55
  as I followed the concepts of don't hurt people
• 3:58
  and don't take their stuff and realized that
• 3:59
  that's precisely what the state does and what
• 4:01
  the state is and what it's built on, then I fully
• 4:05
  went full anarchist about 10 years ago, 8, 10
• 4:09
  years ago. But it's just a logic train. If you
• 4:13
  own yourself and you have self -ownership physically
• 4:16
  of yourself, your mind, your body, your spirit,
• 4:18
  your soul, and you believe that, then everything
• 4:22
  else flows outward from that. The non -aggression
• 4:25
  principle, the concepts of self -ownership, slavery
• 4:28
  versus liberty. At what percent is it slavery?
• 4:34
  Somebody takes the fruits of your labors, whether
• 4:36
  it's what, 10%, 5%, 80%, 100%. At what point
• 4:40
  is it no longer slavery? I argue it's at 0%.
• 4:44
  Is it no longer slavery? It's just soft slavery
• 4:47
  when it's 15%, 30%. Polite slavery when they
• 4:51
  make you fill out a form. You know, they warn
• 4:54
  you a couple of times before they beat you, whip
• 4:56
  you, kill you, chain you to the wall, lock you
• 4:59
  in a cell, kill you for resisting. You know,
• 5:01
  it's just more polite. So that's most people,
• 5:04
  Scott, that you describe. Lots of, on both sides,
• 5:08
  lots of people who go, I'm all for liberty, but,
• 5:10
  and it goes, well, if you follow that up with
• 5:12
  a caveat, you're not for liberty. So I stop worrying
• 5:15
  about catering to those people and just go, well,
• 5:17
  if they're interested in hearing what I have
• 5:19
  to say, cool, maybe we can get them to open their
• 5:22
  minds a little bit. I think a lot of people,
• 5:24
  Scott, if you give them the opportunity to follow
• 5:26
  the logic train that I have followed and that
• 5:29
  you are following as well. and they're interested
• 5:32
  and willing to do it, they find themselves in
• 5:35
  similar spots as us. Yes, once they can finally
• 5:41
  address the underlying premise beneath which
• 5:44
  most of their thought processes are operating,
• 5:47
  which is that the state is ultimately benevolent,
• 5:52
  but with some, yeah, there's corruption, and
• 5:56
  yeah, there's this, and yeah, there's that, but
• 5:57
  ultimately, it's must exist governance equals
• 6:01
  government and it must exist and it's ultimately
• 6:05
  here to look out for you and provide things for
• 6:07
  you and it's they wouldn't use the word benevolent
• 6:10
  but they if you do not recognize that it is ultimately
• 6:13
  malevolent the opposite becomes true in your
• 6:17
  head sort of by default whether you know it or
• 6:19
  not and then from that premise flows all of well
• 6:24
  I don't want to belabor it Maybe let's start.
• 6:27
  It's chock full of contradictions. It's chock
• 6:29
  full of contradictions. The idea that people
• 6:31
  are so bad they need to be governed, but somehow
• 6:32
  we're going to be able to find people who will
• 6:35
  govern responsibly when given ultimate power
• 6:38
  and a monopoly on violence and sole discretion
• 6:41
  to use it. Well, that makes no sense. That makes
• 6:44
  no sense at all. So we could start there. I think
• 6:47
  the best place to start is asking the question,
• 6:50
  do you own yourself? Because it's philosophical,
• 6:53
  it's ideological, and it's political. It's all
• 6:55
  the above. Do you own yourself? And if you answer
• 6:59
  yes, then everything you say you believe, you
• 7:03
  espouse, has to flow outward from that premise,
• 7:06
  which then immediately means you don't hurt people,
• 7:10
  you don't take their stuff, you don't fuck with
• 7:12
  them, and you don't allow it to be done to you
• 7:14
  or those in your care. And then go from there.
• 7:19
  Well, we're going to deconstruct this week's
• 7:22
  mainstream media narratives and Get in a sense
• 7:25
  of from the lens from which were we do that on
• 7:29
  this program? Because the mainstream media acts
• 7:32
  as a mouthpiece as a question This is a great
• 7:36
  here. We'll start with a PSA. We do these once
• 7:39
  in a while because the mainstream puts them out
• 7:40
  They don't mean him as PSA's. It's just another
• 7:44
  You know six o 'clock news story that they work
• 7:47
  in there during the hour -long broadcast But
• 7:48
  we're gonna give it to you as a PSA from the
• 7:51
  no ID show to you And this one is not about airplane
• 7:53
  turbulence new tonight at six o 'clock the Idaho
• 7:56
  Attorney General's office says they helped an
• 7:58
  Idahoan from being scammed someone received a
• 8:00
  call from a scammer claiming to be a Wells Fargo
• 8:03
  Investigator a scammer told the man his bank
• 8:06
  account had been compromised the caller convinced
• 8:09
  him to withdraw $14 ,000 and mail it to a Florida
• 8:13
  address for quote safekeeping. The man did just
• 8:16
  that and realized afterward that he'd melt away
• 8:19
  his entire savings in cash to a stranger. He
• 8:22
  called the Idaho Super Protection Division. They
• 8:25
  located the UPS truck, hauling that cash and
• 8:28
  stop it before it reached Florida. The full $14
• 8:31
  ,000 was returned to that man. The AG's office
• 8:35
  says to be skeptical of anyone claiming to be
• 8:38
  a bank, a law enforcement agency, a court or
• 8:41
  a utility company who is demanding demanding
• 8:43
  money to protect you from a threat and never
• 8:45
  give out any personal or account information
• 8:47
  to someone who called you. What does that sound
• 8:51
  like to you? Beware of entities who strong arm
• 8:56
  you and ask you for money. For your safety. The
• 9:01
  biggest entity that strong arms you and demands
• 9:04
  your money. Listen again of anyone claiming to
• 9:06
  be a bank, a law enforcement agency, a court
• 9:09
  or a utility company who is demanding money to
• 9:12
  protect you from a threat and never give out
• 9:14
  any personal or account information. Unless it's
• 9:17
  an actual law enforcement agency. Unless it's
• 9:22
  us. Unless it's us. One of the in our libertarian
• 9:26
  circles, one of the things we love to say is
• 9:28
  that the state is not anti -crime. the state
• 9:32
  is the biggest criminal on planet earth every
• 9:35
  state is a criminal they are the criminals they
• 9:38
  are the gang they're not anti -crime they are
• 9:42
  anti -competition we always say don't steal guys
• 9:46
  the government hates competition here from the
• 9:50
  last episode this is episode number 42 of of
• 9:53
  no id from the last episode 41 deconstruction
• 9:56
  of some comments made by colonel bill gardener
• 10:01
  And that's the head of the Idaho State Patrol.
• 10:03
  They're very good at masking themselves as a
• 10:06
  legitimate private entity. And then when you
• 10:08
  really pull everything back and you pull these
• 10:11
  layers back, you realize who you're dealing with.
• 10:13
  You're dealing with the cartel. What's he speaking
• 10:17
  of? Weird. Well, their competition. And the people
• 10:22
  who sort of the subjects that we're sort of discussing
• 10:25
  here at the top, the notion of liberty minded
• 10:28
  people who think that they're liberty minded.
• 10:30
  but in point of fact recoil at the things that
• 10:33
  they're hearing in this opening vignette and
• 10:36
  Are like what are you idiots talking about people
• 10:39
  like Bill Gardner are good? He's not heading
• 10:42
  up a cartel these people are here to protect
• 10:45
  you So therefore they need to forcibly confiscate
• 10:48
  money from you in order to protect you What does
• 10:50
  that sound like claiming to be a bank a law enforcement?
• 10:53
  Agency a court or a utility company who is demanding
• 10:56
  money to protect you from a threat That's how
• 11:00
  they hear it. They're like you guys are psycho
• 11:03
  The bill Garner and the ISP and the entire apparatus
• 11:06
  that that they that they represent Idaho's government
• 11:09
  at every level federal government at every level
• 11:12
  while yes There is corruption and there is that
• 11:15
  ultimately these people are here to protect you.
• 11:17
  They're here to provide you services They're
• 11:19
  here to take care of you citizen now hold still
• 11:23
  Well It's a pretty crazy notion, don't you think,
• 11:28
  Scott, that the state, which has a vested interest
• 11:31
  in being perceived as legitimate and benevolent,
• 11:35
  would spend an inordinate amount of resources
• 11:38
  to quote unquote, educate the entire population
• 11:43
  about how benevolent it is. Why do you think
• 11:49
  they fight so hard to preserve state -run education,
• 11:54
  state -run schools? You know, these institutions
• 11:57
  that effectively look and behave like prisons,
• 12:00
  where you submit your children to them for eight
• 12:03
  hours a day, 12 to 16 years of their most formative
• 12:07
  lives, of the most formative years of their lives,
• 12:10
  and the entire way, they are told to obey. They
• 12:16
  are told to fit in the box. They are bi -state
• 12:19
  agents, by the way, teachers. our agents of the
• 12:22
  state as well they draw their paychecks from
• 12:24
  the government which ultimately then is either
• 12:26
  printed out of thin air via the fed or it's extracted
• 12:29
  from us by the way so the whole apparatus forces
• 12:33
  us to fund it then turns around and teaches each
• 12:36
  new generation that it is god it is a good god
• 12:40
  and it is a necessary god shut up sit down conform
• 12:43
  don't ask questions we put they put you in with
• 12:48
  only people your age for 16 years of your life
• 12:52
  tell you where to go when you can go there what
• 12:56
  is acceptable what is not acceptable and There
• 13:01
  we are so You know that system's been in place
• 13:05
  for a hundred. That's the Prussian model. That's
• 13:07
  been in place since the late 1800s It's not because
• 13:10
  the government is benevolent and was like, you
• 13:11
  know what we want everyone to be literate It
• 13:13
  was they said you know what we need everybody
• 13:15
  to be compliant. We need good soldiers and we
• 13:18
  need good factory workers That's what that system
• 13:21
  is for. What you just said, it is bordering on
• 13:25
  impossible to shake people from the premise that
• 13:28
  actually it's because they want us to be literate
• 13:31
  and they want to care for us. They just cannot
• 13:33
  be shaken from it. The notion that - Well, the
• 13:36
  programming is, it's good. It's very good. It's
• 13:39
  very good programming. It's well entrenched and
• 13:41
  it is really hard to get people deprogrammed.
• 13:45
  The notion that we could possibly eliminate property
• 13:47
  taxes, that's absolutely ridiculous. I haven't
• 13:50
  even given it any serious thought because they're
• 13:52
  a complete, they're a given. They are for your
• 13:55
  good. Don't you appreciate the services that
• 13:58
  are rendered to you on account of us charging
• 14:00
  you rent for the property that you own? I will
• 14:03
  not even entertain the notion of eliminating
• 14:05
  property taxes because it's so bloody stupid.
• 14:07
  That is the attitude from a lot of people who
• 14:09
  think that they're liberty -minded people. Yeah,
• 14:13
  well the the neighborhood gang whether it's the
• 14:15
  City Council or the county or the state or the
• 14:18
  feds whatever each neighborhood looks a little
• 14:20
  different But the effect is the same the neighborhood
• 14:22
  gang has a finish has effectively convinced the
• 14:25
  neighborhood That without that gang being in
• 14:29
  place a different gang might move in and hurt
• 14:31
  you more Like you know without us other gangs
• 14:35
  might hurt you and they'll probably hurt you
• 14:37
  more. So go ahead give us your rights Give us
• 14:39
  your money and we're only taking 40 % citizens.
• 14:42
  So don't you worry. We're looking out for you
• 14:44
  because if it wasn't for us, that gang over there
• 14:46
  would take 50%. So we got your back. They're
• 14:51
  very good at masking themselves as a legitimate
• 14:54
  private entity. And then when you really pull
• 14:56
  everything back and you pull these layers back,
• 14:59
  you realize who you're dealing with. You're dealing
• 15:00
  with the cartel. Here is KREM. The difference
• 15:04
  between the state and Regular gangs private sector
• 15:08
  gangs the several differences number one is at
• 15:10
  least private sector gangs have the decency to
• 15:12
  turn a profit So I already respect them more
• 15:15
  just for that alone Number two is that I have
• 15:18
  the option to fight back now are there there's
• 15:22
  always consequences to every action, but I have
• 15:24
  a legitimate option of fighting back because
• 15:27
  right now if the cop if I if I don't pay my property
• 15:30
  taxes and they put a lien on my house and then
• 15:33
  they come to seize my home and I shoot back Everybody
• 15:37
  will go, well, he had it coming. That's what
• 15:40
  he deserved. He should have done the process.
• 15:42
  He should have filed the right paperwork. He
• 15:44
  should have just paid his taxes. He should have
• 15:45
  just complied. What a monster. Why did the ATF
• 15:49
  sniper take out the guy's pregnant wife? Well,
• 15:53
  you know, she's adjacent to the scoff law. Yeah,
• 15:57
  Ruby Ridge is a great example of this. Like,
• 15:59
  you know, most people say they hate government
• 16:03
  because they just don't like who's in charge.
• 16:05
  I hate government because I know the government
• 16:07
  agents will shoot a woman in the head while she's
• 16:10
  holding her baby in her arms, kill the family
• 16:13
  dog, kill the other son, ruin an entire family's
• 16:17
  existence over a shotgun that's two inches too
• 16:20
  short. The government set them up within the
• 16:23
  first place. We are not the same, not even close.
• 16:31
  With private sector gangs, I can negotiate with
• 16:34
  private sector gangs. I can pit them against
• 16:36
  each other. Private sector gangs compete with
• 16:38
  each other. I can shoot back. Is it the best
• 16:41
  choice? It depends on the situation. You never
• 16:43
  know. But if the whole neighborhood rises up,
• 16:45
  well, then the local neighborhood gang has a
• 16:47
  lot harder of a time. There are options at my
• 16:50
  disposal. Whereas the way things are now, it's
• 16:54
  one way or I die, slash are kidnapped and put
• 16:59
  in prison. And people are programmed to see that
• 17:03
  as inevitable and civilized and just the way
• 17:07
  things are and legitimate. All of which is wrong.
• 17:11
  And it doesn't have to be this way. It never
• 17:14
  had to be this way. It still doesn't have to
• 17:16
  be this way, especially not with modern technology.
• 17:18
  With modern technology, we can have, oh my God,
• 17:21
  like if the state wasn't on our necks and we
• 17:23
  just threw off the yoke of the state. Imagine
• 17:27
  the. abundance we would enjoy, the prosperity
• 17:30
  we would enjoy. Wow. Here is a creme channel
• 17:36
  two out of Spokane reporting on the reopening
• 17:39
  of said public schools in the aftermath of the
• 17:42
  fires. It's been two weeks since fires destroyed
• 17:44
  hundreds of homes in the Spokane area fires this
• 17:48
  morning. Spokane Public Schools is welcoming
• 17:50
  teachers and staff back to three schools in some
• 17:53
  of the hardest hit neighborhoods. Creme T's Regan
• 17:56
  Gallo is live with a look at how the district
• 17:58
  has worked to make sure those schools are safe
• 18:00
  and what still needs to happen before students
• 18:02
  return next week. a week before the students
• 18:06
  return. Good morning. Yeah, yeah, good morning
• 18:10
  Tim. They are going to be back to school next
• 18:13
  Wednesday. I believe that's August 26 and right
• 18:16
  now one of those three properties that was under
• 18:18
  those level three evacuation zones is flat middle
• 18:21
  school, which is right behind us right now. I
• 18:23
  want to show you just nearly how they escape
• 18:25
  the flames here at the middle school right behind
• 18:27
  me. You catch that early how they escape the
• 18:29
  escape, escape, escape, escape the. Escape escape
• 18:35
  escape the professional reporter the flames here
• 18:38
  escape the flames by fleeing to the mountains
• 18:42
  Kind of in the mountains And like, oh, you grammar
• 18:47
  Nazis. Is that it? The whole show is just about
• 18:49
  calling out people for their grammar. Yeah, it's
• 18:51

• 18:54
  Get it right right behind me. Completely singed
• 18:57
  area and just behind these trees here that looked
• 18:59
  burned as Fairmont Memorial Park, which also
• 19:02
  was impacted by those flames. Some graves were
• 19:06
  burned. We reported on that about a week ago.
• 19:08
  And if you just come walk this way right here
• 19:11
  is where Flat Middle School is just to show you
• 19:13
  how close the flames came to. impacting the school.
• 19:16
  And this morning as well, we're actually seeing
• 19:19
  some trucks, wood chippers coming out of this
• 19:21
  area too, because it backs up to Dwight Merkel
• 19:23
  and many of those trees in that area were burned
• 19:25
  as well. So a lot of complexity during this back
• 19:28
  to school time. And finally today, doors are
• 19:31
  opening for these three schools, including flat
• 19:33
  middle school for staff and teachers to come
• 19:35
  back. to as testing has deemed it safe for them
• 19:38
  to return. So what did that testing include?
• 19:41
  OK, so they conducted a independent testing by
• 19:45
  fulcrum environmental consulting to assess the
• 19:48
  impacts of wildfire. Fulcrum environmental consulting
• 19:50
  only charged the district two hundred and fifty
• 19:52
  thousand dollars. Independent test. I don't actually
• 19:54
  know the number, but it wasn't free. Independent
• 19:56
  testing by fulcrum environmental consulting.
• 19:59
  And not that it shouldn't. What are you saying?
• 20:00
  It should have been free. The company should
• 20:02
  just work for free now. I'm just saying all these
• 20:04
  little things add up. They're testing. What are
• 20:07
  they testing exactly? Oh, the air quality. Well,
• 20:09
  why don't you just mask the kids up? That protects
• 20:11
  them, doesn't it? Pepperidge Farm remembers 2020,
• 20:15
  guys. You see, Pepperidge Farm remembers. What
• 20:17
  a great opportunity for them to float a levee
• 20:21
  come next spring because of the added expense
• 20:23
  of reopening the schools during summer vacation.
• 20:29
  So they conducted a independent testing by Fulcrum
• 20:32
  Environmental Consulting to assess the impacts
• 20:35
  of wildfire smoke. This included installing air
• 20:38
  quality sensors, bringing HVAC systems back online,
• 20:41
  and also replacing those HVAC systems. Again,
• 20:44
  all these three schools' air quality conditions
• 20:46
  were found to be... That's not cheap. Well, and
• 20:48
  what have they done up to this point? They didn't
• 20:50
  have air quality sensors, so what have they been
• 20:52
  doing for the last 2 ,000 years? Looking at the
• 20:58
  air? Testing it out the old -fashioned way Like
• 21:02
  licking their index finger and sticking it up.
• 21:05
  I Don't dying I guess is probably what we've
• 21:07
  all been doing without knowing we've just been
• 21:10
  dying from bad air quality That just got us out
• 21:13
  of nowhere. We're all gonna die HVAC systems.
• 21:17
  Again, all these three schools air quality conditions
• 21:19
  were found to be in good to moderate range, determining
• 21:22
  that it was safe for staff to return and more
• 21:25
  testing will continue this week before students
• 21:27
  return next week. Part school should be spaces.
• 21:31
  I bet that IQ points have gone up a few points
• 21:37
  for the students while they've been away from
• 21:39
  school this summer. What you want to bet? And
• 21:41
  then it'll drop back down when school starts.
• 21:44
  Yeah, that's probably about right. But don't
• 21:46
  worry, Paul. We'll just drop the standards to
• 21:48
  whatever their IQ gets to. Our school should
• 21:50
  be spaces where... This is, by the way, what
• 21:52
  I wanted. This is the most amazing part of this
• 21:54
  clip. I believe this is the superintendent. Our
• 21:57
  school should be spaces where kids feel loved
• 21:59
  and cared for and that they belong. And that's
• 22:02
  true any day, at any time. It's particularly
• 22:06
  important right now. And I believe we've got
• 22:09
  incredible staff and teachers that are ready.
• 22:12
  to step up and fill that space. And it's about
• 22:14
  providing as much normalcy as possible. This
• 22:18
  coming from the entities that went full totalitarian
• 22:22
  dystopia on the kids for varying lengths of time
• 22:26
  in Spokane, I don't know, what was it? A year,
• 22:28
  six months, a year, two years in some places,
• 22:31
  maybe not in Spokane. but they just really they
• 22:33
  just want to show you they're just reminding
• 22:35
  you how much they love you they care for you
• 22:37
  and they want to provide normalcy but let's pretend
• 22:40
  we're going to pretend that 2020 and 2021 never
• 22:43
  happened and we never showed our true nature
• 22:46
  which is abusive in a physical and mental sense
• 22:49
  well that was the new normal scott remember oh
• 22:53
  oh right yeah yeah very important word yeah that
• 22:57
  was that was normalcy for a couple of years the
• 22:59
  new normal And we were all in it together, exactly
• 23:03
  the same way, with the same rules for everybody.
• 23:07
  Nobody knew what to do. We were working with
• 23:09
  incomplete information, so we had to wrestle
• 23:12
  the mask back over the kid's nose if they dared
• 23:14
  drop it down at their desk. What did you want
• 23:17
  us to do? We'd love and care for the kids. Yeah,
• 23:21
  well, the best course of action when you have
• 23:24
  incomplete information is definitely to charge
• 23:27
  full speed ahead. with full throated measures
• 23:31
  of whatever you're planning to do. That's usually,
• 23:34
  that is the best time. We don't really know what's
• 23:36
  going on, but by God, we are gonna do it so hard.
• 23:40
  If everything we do saves just one life. I'll
• 23:45
  be here providing n important here as kids ar
• 23:50
  into the classroom. We als officials that 164
• 23:55
  homes families were destroyed i that 164 number
• 24:04
  might be maybe even more students how many lived
• 24:09
  under one complexity here as people into the
• 24:15
  class room. Many trying to focus on studie at
• 24:20
  home. Families being di deal with. We're going
• 24:24
  t this morning as teachers back inside, maybe
• 24:27
  hopf of them about how they 'r an important time
• 24:31
  to get and to get curriculum read to talk this
• 24:35
  morning. We' middle school for now repo back
• 24:39
  to you. And obviously the most devastating time
• 24:44
  of many of these families lives, presumably,
• 24:47
  you know, losing your homes, you know, entire
• 24:49
  blocks, neighborhoods have been just flattened.
• 24:54
  Well, these families lives have been completely
• 24:57
  disrupted in the worst of ways. So I don't think
• 25:00
  we're we're not trying to make fun of that because
• 25:02
  that's a that is a legitimate thing. It's a legitimate
• 25:05
  bummer and definitely feel for those families.
• 25:08
  I think mainly what we're focusing on here and
• 25:11
  making fun of is just how breathlessly complex
• 25:15
  apparently it is to fix a few things, test the
• 25:19
  air and make sure it's safe to go back to the
• 25:21
  school buildings. That's the part that gets me.
• 25:25
  And again, make no mistake, they're gonna come
• 25:28
  begging for money really soon. The formula is
• 25:32
  the same. So that's what I'm keying in on. Yeah,
• 25:35
  no, it doesn't diminish the, oh man, what's the
• 25:38
  word I want? But I guess disruption is the word
• 25:40
  I got right now. that these families are experiencing.
• 25:43
  Kind of catastrophic and traumatic. So that part
• 25:46
  sucks. It's terrible. Well, speaking of begging
• 25:49
  for money or a version of it, several people
• 25:53
  sent this to me and I hope you saw it as well.
• 25:56
  The statement put out a public statement by the
• 25:58
  mayor of Post Falls, Randy Westland, from yesterday
• 26:02
  regarding the article pulled up. Okay, well,
• 26:05
  it's the looming deficit. I it's a written statement.
• 26:08
  I plugged it into 11 labs So these are Randy
• 26:11
  Westland's words from his public statement yesterday
• 26:14
  as read by an AI voice The city is in a difficult
• 26:18
  financial position inflation and skyrocketing
• 26:21
  expenses have far outstripped tax revenue driving
• 26:23
  us toward insolvency We can see a substantial
• 26:26
  deficit on the horizon that will only get worse
• 26:28
  over time and it's not just us Every local taxing
• 26:32
  district in Idaho is in the same position We're
• 26:35
  starting to feel the long -term effects of the
• 26:37
  rapid devaluation of the dollar. It's going to
• 26:39
  get worse The response from many elected officials
• 26:43
  will credit to mayor Westland for even using
• 26:46
  terminology along those lines it's refreshing
• 26:49
  to hear that from a official even tangentially
• 26:54
  related to Government to that. It's not just
• 26:57
  like inflation inflation Well, it's a devaluation
• 27:00
  of the currency, which was, of course, caused
• 27:02
  by government, although not Randy Westland's
• 27:04
  government. Well, not maybe a little bit, but
• 27:10
  I mean, they're all part of the same. Well, what
• 27:13
  I mean by that is that Randy hasn't been in power
• 27:15
  long enough to have had to have moved the needle
• 27:17
  as the mayor of Post Falls. But but the point
• 27:22
  still stands and I firmly, firmly argue it. argue
• 27:25
  for this and agree with this is that every every
• 27:28
  government at every level below the feds because
• 27:30
  inflation is a monetary it's exclusively a monetary
• 27:33
  policy effect and it can only happen at the federal
• 27:37
  level because only the feds have the power to
• 27:40
  well create more paper money to print more fiat
• 27:43
  currency as they have done and on overdrive since
• 27:47
  we untethered from gold in 1971 So that is a
• 27:51
  federal level monetary policy phenomenon and
• 27:53
  exclusively that Inflation is the devaluation
• 27:58
  of the dollar. It is a loss of purchasing power
• 28:01
  It is not that goods and services cost more.
• 28:04
  They are not more expensive It is that your dollar
• 28:07
  buys less and those those are two different things
• 28:10
  There is an important distinction there and I
• 28:12
  would wager Randy Westland understands that distinction
• 28:15
  So it's nice to hear him say it. It's nice to
• 28:17
  hear him identify it. But to my other point,
• 28:21
  pretty much since the Federal Reserve has been
• 28:23
  a thing, and federal grants have been a thing,
• 28:26
  and federal money flowing to the states has been
• 28:28
  a thing, at the state level, the county level,
• 28:30
  and the municipal level, every time any of those
• 28:33
  levels of government accept federal funds for
• 28:36
  anything, a grant, a program, expansion of Medicaid
• 28:40
  in Idaho, et cetera, it has contributed to the
• 28:44
  inflationary pressure because when when at the
• 28:48
  federal budget level only it depends and it depends
• 28:51
  on who you ask but 60 to 70 percent of the federal
• 28:55
  budget comes from taxation so that means the
• 28:59
  other 30 to 40 percent is effectively it's on
• 29:02
  it's unfunded there is no revenue i guess like
• 29:06
  re in real terms coming in so it is quite literally
• 29:09
  just created out of thin air which Let's be honest,
• 29:13
  all of it is printed out of thin air to begin
• 29:14
  with, fiat currency is. But for 30 % to 40 %
• 29:19
  of the budget every year, it's straight up just
• 29:21
  printed. Just boom. We need it, we print it.
• 29:25
  Which adds to inflation. So cities, counties,
• 29:29
  states, all basically suckling at the teat of
• 29:34
  the federal largesse directly contributes to
• 29:38
  the inflationary pressure we all feel. So yes,
• 29:41
  Post Falls is absolutely responsible, a culpable
• 29:44
  contributing factor, all of the above. I'd say
• 29:48
  less so under Randy for now. Although under his
• 29:53
  grow revenue section, one of the things he plans
• 29:55
  to do is pursue new grant opportunities. That
• 30:01
  will be from the federal government. So if you
• 30:05
  get a million dollar grant, it means in between
• 30:09
  Four hundred three and four hundred thousand
• 30:11
  dollars of that million dollar grant is just
• 30:14
  freshly printed money that hasn't been collected
• 30:17
  as revenue and then redistributed. It's just
• 30:19
  been poof created out of nowhere. Right in the
• 30:23
  immediate. Touche the rapid devaluation of the
• 30:28
  dollar. It's going to get worse. The response
• 30:31
  from many elected officials will be to raise
• 30:33
  taxes by the maximum amount. Put levy overrides
• 30:36
  on the ballot, burn through savings, and hope
• 30:38
  things somehow get better. Post falls is going
• 30:41
  to be different. We will not leave a crisis for
• 30:43
  those who come after us. We will be proactive.
• 30:47
  Government must live within its means, just like
• 30:49
  everyone else. To that end, I'm releasing my
• 30:52
  plan to streamline government and make significant
• 30:54
  cuts. It outlines the problem and lists key strategies
• 30:58
  for attacking the problem from every angle. No
• 31:00
  stone will be left unturned. This is a draft
• 31:03
  document because this process cannot be done
• 31:05
  without public input. The people should decide
• 31:08
  how we spend their money and which services we
• 31:10
  cut. I want to hear your input. I will incorporate
• 31:13
  this community feedback into the draft and then
• 31:16
  bring this document to the City Council to ask
• 31:18
  for formal adoption. This process of reform will
• 31:21
  take years and the path will not be easy. But
• 31:24
  we will not run from the problems we were elected
• 31:26
  to solve. Like always, Post Falls will set the
• 31:29
  gold standard for other cities to follow. Did
• 31:38
  I lose you? No, I was asking about the same thing.
• 31:42
  I think we're both just pondering what we just
• 31:45
  heard there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On one hand, I
• 31:51
  applaud Randy Westland for taking this approach.
• 31:54
  It is in this day and age. It's a bit of a novel.
• 31:58
  It shouldn't be a novel approach, but it is a
• 32:00
  little bit of a novel approach. I think he's
• 32:02
  probably being the most honest about it of any
• 32:04
  local politician I've heard in some time. That
• 32:06
  includes the county committee, county commissioners,
• 32:08
  Bonner County commissioners. It's a definitely
• 32:11
  a far cry and a hell of a contrast against the
• 32:14
  city of Coeur d 'Alene, which is just, you know,
• 32:17
  has done nothing but wring their hands over their
• 32:19
  budget for years and years and years. And then
• 32:20
  they just take the three percent every year and
• 32:22
  then go, oh, well, what else can we do? We're
• 32:25
  just going to hike your taxes again. I don't
• 32:27
  think they've cut a damn thing ever. It's like
• 32:30
  you and I were talking about off air before this
• 32:32
  is. It's all it's all shit. This just is a lighter
• 32:36
  shade of shit and still at the same time again
• 32:39
  Like as I'm reading this one of the one of the
• 32:41
  main bullet points of the plan is to as I end
• 32:44
  quote You know pursue new grant opportunities.
• 32:47
  Well, unless you're finding I guess private charities
• 32:51
  or private organizations that are handing out
• 32:54
  grants to the government Well that unless you
• 32:57
  find something like that, which I don't think
• 32:58
  really exists. The only thing that can mean is
• 33:01
  federal grants And federal grants still comes,
• 33:05
  it still is a tax on us in one way or the other,
• 33:08
  either it's money that has been literally ripped
• 33:10
  from our wallets or it's inflationary policy
• 33:13
  that then just destroys the purchasing power
• 33:16
  of what's left in our wallets, which is a tax
• 33:19
  on the other side of the dollar. So it's refreshing,
• 33:24
  but I'm not super impressed. It's better than
• 33:27
  Coeur d 'Alene. It's better than Sandpoint. So
• 33:31
  he's got that going for him. I am tired of this
• 33:34
  shit So mayor of Coeur d 'Alene Dan and gookin
• 33:39
  I did see some comments or maybe it was one comment.
• 33:44
  It was probably made in multiple places by whoever
• 33:47
  the hell said well, what about this, you know
• 33:49
  was something like you could save a 400 ,000
• 33:52
  and Mayor Weston was like that doesn't does not
• 33:55
  even cover the increased cost of insurance for
• 33:59
  employees that line item. So stuff like that,
• 34:04
  well, it's like, well, it's a given. I mean,
• 34:05
  it's a given. There's the employees get raises
• 34:08
  scheduled. They have all of their health insurance
• 34:10
  paid for scheduled. There's nothing we can do
• 34:13
  about any of that, even though those are the
• 34:16
  biggest or among the biggest line items, you
• 34:19
  know, week after week after quarter after time
• 34:21
  of memorial. But these are sacred cows. They
• 34:24
  cannot be touched. Even though whenever you dig
• 34:27
  in to where the majority of any given whatever
• 34:30
  is going it is salary and benefits packages for
• 34:34
  the staff The people that are that are tasked
• 34:37
  with solving the problem are the problem How
• 34:40
  do you solve that? I? Have the answer pick me
• 34:45
  pick me um You can't I'm gonna. Oh, I was gonna
• 34:49
  call on gookin Everybody everybody always has
• 34:53
  an opinion on what should be cut And of course,
• 34:56
  everybody disagrees on what should be cut because,
• 34:58
  you know, everybody else, everybody says XYZ
• 35:00
  should be cut, but not ABC because, you know,
• 35:04
  everybody's got their favorite thing, you know,
• 35:05
  cut this for that guy, but don't you dare cut
• 35:07
  the thing I like. And you could totally save
• 35:10
  a quarter of a million dollars. And then the
• 35:13
  mayor or the county commissioner or the governor
• 35:15
  is like, yeah, I guess, cool. But that's basically
• 35:17
  just a rounding error in our budget. And the
• 35:19
  things that it goes towards are legal obligations
• 35:22
  that we can't get away from. So it's like, oh,
• 35:24
  hey, Mayor Westland, you could totally save a
• 35:26
  bunch of money if you do this. And Westland goes,
• 35:28
  you sure about that? You know, or as every. conservative
• 35:38
  ever has learned when they join the government
• 35:41
  and they're like, I'm going to fix these problems.
• 35:44
  And a lot of us who have already, you know, we're
• 35:46
  at this point blackpilled. We were like, no,
• 35:50
  you can't. the system is literally designed for
• 35:54
  you to not be able to fix it, because it's not
• 35:57
  broken. This is how it's designed. And they go,
• 36:00
  oh, what do you know? We're going to try it again.
• 36:02
  But it might work for us. Right. And this is
• 36:06
  something that you've said before, and it's stuck
• 36:08
  with me, which is like, yeah, there is no, you
• 36:11
  join your school board, you do this and that.
• 36:13
  You're going to try to fix something that's operating
• 36:15
  exactly as it's set up to be operating. Rots
• 36:19
  a rock. Rod's a ruck. If you look at every single
• 36:25
  example of conservatives for a time having control
• 36:28
  of a school board, of a city council, of a county
• 36:33
  commission, you name it, anything, libertarians,
• 36:36
  conservatives, every time they try and on the
• 36:37
  rare occasion, they win and gain control. It
• 36:40
  only lasts for a sliver of time because the moment
• 36:43
  that they maybe are starting to be somewhat effective,
• 36:47
  people are upset. because government employees
• 36:50
  lose their jobs. It's always a classic sob story.
• 36:52
  Then the people are like, wait a minute, you
• 36:53
  can't do that. Linda here lost her job of 20
• 36:56
  years working for the state. Well, what did Linda
• 36:58
  do? Well, she filed the papers real good. We
• 37:01
  don't need that. But Linda's job, you name it,
• 37:07
  to extrapolate that out in a million ways. And
• 37:10
  then the conservatives lose the election and
• 37:12
  it's all over and they tried and they lasted,
• 37:14
  you know, two to six years. And then everything
• 37:16
  goes back to the way it was. NIC is a good example
• 37:19
  of that. Every school district in this area is
• 37:21
  a good example of that. All the city councils
• 37:22
  are a good example of that. It's just over and
• 37:25
  over again. It's like Groundhog Day. Well, what
• 37:28
  if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
• 37:32
  What would you say you do here, Linda? You do
• 37:35
  here I deal with the goddamn customers. So the
• 37:38
  engineers don't have to I have people skills
• 37:41
  I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand
• 37:45
  that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
• 37:49
  When we move off of this topic you remind me
• 37:52
  I have a story about customers Okay. Well, that's
• 37:56
  now it's all you a great time to do that. I was
• 37:58
  gonna do an ask ball before mid show So go ahead
• 38:01
  fine. Yeah, hit me with it Story time. Okay,
• 38:05
  so there I was minding my own business last week
• 38:09
  Living my life my dial -up tune for this. I think
• 38:13
  I got a good tune for this and I had already
• 38:17
  paid my Idaho State taxes And was feeling pretty
• 38:22
  salty about it six weeks ago I Thought it was
• 38:26
  all done and over with and then BAM blammo. I
• 38:29
  get a letter in the mail It says I owe another
• 38:32
  $131, and it's all late penalty because I paid
• 38:38
  my taxes too late. Paid them in full, but not
• 38:42
  soon enough. So I go, well, why didn't I get
• 38:49
  a letter about this the first go round? Instead,
• 38:51
  the only letter I get is a demand letter that
• 38:53
  says if you don't pay this $131, $130 .99 in
• 38:57
  10 days or less, We put a lien on your home.
• 39:00
  We put a lien on whatever property that you have
• 39:03
  registered with the state and we can garnish
• 39:05
  your wages. It's like, oh man. Yeah, this is
• 39:08
  government. I don't know who thinks government
• 39:10
  is a cool benevolent thing because don't just
• 39:13
  miss a tax payment. See how it goes. So I go
• 39:19
  online and I pay the damn thing because there's
• 39:22
  really no way around this one. So I don't even
• 39:25
  bother wasting my time. I just go pay it and
• 39:28
  After I pay it the landing page that comes up
• 39:33
  is a please rate us page It says Feedback opportunity
• 39:45
  how satisfied are you with the service you received
• 39:48
  from the Idaho State Tax Commission? Service
• 39:52
  and you could give it one to five stars and leave
• 39:55
  a comment So naturally I gave it one star would
• 39:59
  not recommend and in the comments said taxation
• 40:02
  is theft and the state is a gang of parasitic
• 40:04
  extortionists go to hell They're very good at
• 40:09
  masking themselves as a legitimate private entity
• 40:12
  and then when you really pull everything back
• 40:15
  and you pull these layers back You realize who
• 40:17
  you're dealing with you're dealing with the cartel.
• 40:19
  Yeah, rate us on you know with a cartel But these
• 40:23
  guys but hey They're a polite cartel. And all
• 40:28
  they did was threaten to take my home, my cars,
• 40:31
  and my wages. If I didn't pay in 10 days. Yeah.
• 40:36
  But remember, citizen, that without them, society
• 40:41
  would collapse. We'd all just rape and murder
• 40:44
  and kill each other. We would probably steal
• 40:47
  each other's stuff if the government wasn't there
• 40:49
  to steal it for us. and call us a customer. Yes,
• 40:57
  customer, rate your experience at our establishment.
• 41:01
  Dude, can you imagine this? You're going down
• 41:04
  the street and some guy mugs you at Knife Point
• 41:07
  and as he's running away goes, like and follow
• 41:12
  me on Yelp. Oh my God. or hands you a business
• 41:20
  card before he walks away and goes, hey, when
• 41:23
  we're done here, if you don't mind taking five
• 41:25
  minutes and answering the survey for us, I'd
• 41:27
  really appreciate it. All right. Thanks for your
• 41:29
  shit. Bye. Yeah. Here's a little piece of paper
• 41:32
  and a golf pencil. Oh, good stuff. What I'm going
• 41:36
  to get a kick out of that. Yeah. Oh, and here's
• 41:38
  the other thing as an aside as a second part
• 41:41
  of this story early in 2025. So last year, we're
• 41:46
  talking a year and a half ago, I sold my business.
• 41:49
  And I sold the business in mid -April. I hadn't
• 41:52
  had payroll since the end of March on paper.
• 41:56
  Well, eight months goes by, I think. Nine months.
• 42:00
  And I get a notice in the mail from the Idaho
• 42:04
  Department of Labor. And of course, the tax commission
• 42:07
  is kind of behind all of it as well, like as
• 42:09
  another layer underneath if you got to get that
• 42:11
  far. But first, it's the Department of Labor.
• 42:14
  And they're bothering me about two things. First
• 42:18
  off, they say that I owe like $800 on my unemployment
• 42:22
  insurance policy that you have to have as an
• 42:26
  employer in Idaho. You have to have it. They
• 42:28
  force you to buy it and they force you to buy
• 42:30
  it from them. So speaking of cartels and monopolies,
• 42:34
  and they were missing three quarterly reports
• 42:36
  that you also have to file. So not only do you
• 42:39
  have to pay out of your own pocket to, quote
• 42:42
  unquote, do unemployment insurance, which, oh,
• 42:44
  by the way, you can't collect under a lot of
• 42:46
  different circumstances if you do end up getting
• 42:48
  laid off or fired or injured or whatever, although
• 42:50
  injuries is workers comps. That's a whole nother
• 42:52
  can of worms. And that's a whole nother insurance
• 42:55
  bill that I as an employer pay. So a lot of the
• 42:59
  time you can't even collect UI. But boy, how
• 43:01
  do you they collect it from you, the employer.
• 43:04
  Remember, though, that this is, what is it for?
• 43:07
  The insurance policy that we force you to get.
• 43:11
  It's for your protection and safety. That's why
• 43:15
  we force you to be a bank, a law enforcement
• 43:17
  agency, a court or a utility company who is demanding
• 43:21
  money to protect you from a threat. It's for
• 43:24
  your. I feel so protected. Try and file a claim.
• 43:30
  But it's for your safety. It's to protect you
• 43:33
  citizen. Hold still while we protect you. Why
• 43:36
  are you squirming? I'm squirming because I don't
• 43:40
  like giving interest free loans out, let alone
• 43:42
  to the government. Yeah. So when they did this,
• 43:47
  obviously I fire right back. I get on the horn
• 43:49
  and I go, Hey, if you guys had done three seconds
• 43:52
  of research and it should already be in your
• 43:54
  system, we dissolved that corporation last year.
• 43:56
  So, you know, it's, it is now I think May of
• 43:59
  2026 when I'm having this conversation and I'm
• 44:01
  like, in October, in October, I fully dissolved
• 44:06
  that corporate that S corp. It's gone. And oh,
• 44:08
  by the way, if you also had done the due diligence
• 44:10
  to check your own records, we haven't had payroll
• 44:14
  since March, the first quarter of 2025. So I
• 44:19
  don't owe you shit. Said it obviously a little
• 44:22
  more politely, but not by much. I don't know
• 44:23
  you crap. Yes. And I get an email back a day
• 44:30
  later that says, actually, after looking your
• 44:33
  case up, we owe you $145 .65 from overpayments
• 44:39
  from spring of 2025. Ah, our bad. So if you fill
• 44:46
  out these four different forms, we can get you
• 44:49
  your money back. So I do. The check shows up
• 44:55
  three weeks later. Guess who it's made out to
• 44:59
  Scott The corporation that was dissolved Look
• 45:09
  at you. Yeah, guess what I can't do with it Anything
• 45:15
  it's a paperweight. Well, that was gonna say
• 45:17
  that's this is the entity that specializes in
• 45:20
  worthless paper So it makes perfect sense. Yeah
• 45:22
  Yep. Yep, pretty good. So I get on the horn and
• 45:25
  I go hey WTF, I filled out all your bullshit.
• 45:29
  I gave you specific instructions, specific instructions
• 45:32
  on where to send it, who to make it out to, the
• 45:34
  whole thing. So they go, oh, our bad, we'll fix
• 45:38
  it. But you've got to fill out two more different
• 45:41
  forms, one to nullify this, they call them warrants
• 45:44
  instead of checks, but to nullify this warrant
• 45:46
  and one to request a replacement warrant. Oh
• 45:48
  my God. Fine. Fine. And then also please, please
• 45:51
  include the instructions on who to make it out
• 45:53
  to. I was like, God damn it. I did that already,
• 45:55
  but okay. So I fill out two more forms, send
• 45:57
  it off and they go, all right, cool. We got you,
• 45:58
  bro. Two weeks later, the check shows up. Can
• 46:01
  you guess who it was made out to Scott? Oh man.
• 46:04
  I mean, it can't possibly be. It's got to be
• 46:06
  like Dan Gukin. It can't possibly be the same
• 46:09
  ding, ding S corp. The one in the same. Good
• 46:16
  job. Twice What would you say You do here? Whoever's
• 46:25
  on what you just said is one of the most insanely
• 46:28
  idiotic things I have ever heard Everyone in
• 46:32
  this room is now dumber for having listened to
• 46:35
  it. May God have mercy on your soul. I award
• 46:38
  you no point now I am six to seven hours into
• 46:43
  this between the phone calls, the emails, and
• 46:46
  filing all of their fucking paperwork. For $130.
• 46:49
  Hey, you're at the federal minimum wage. For
• 46:51
  $145, sir. $145. Oh, sorry. Oh, my god. So I
• 46:57
  get on the horn again, and I go, hey. WTF and
• 47:02
  the response comes back from somebody else because
• 47:05
  the first guy was now on vacation for two weeks
• 47:08
  So I have to re Go over the whole thing with
• 47:15
  with this gal this gal who has no idea what's
• 47:18
  going on So I got a filler in and she says oh,
• 47:21
  yeah. Well, here's all the paperwork You got
• 47:24
  to fill out to have us fix it and I was like
• 47:26
  bitch I did, so I just uploaded everything again
• 47:31
  and I said, here it all is again. I'm not redoing
• 47:33
  it. You do something with it. Two days goes by.
• 47:37
  No, this is a long story, but this is like, it's
• 47:40
  a hundred miles of bad road anytime you deal
• 47:42
  with the government. Finally, I get a response
• 47:44
  that says, oh, hey, so all that's cool and all
• 47:47
  the stuff you gave me, but now we need you to
• 47:49
  physically mail back both of the bad checks.
• 47:53
  You got to mail them to us. And I was like, like
• 47:56
  a physical mail like in the envelope with a stamp
• 47:58
  and everything and she goes yeah we the the accounting
• 48:01
  department says they got to have them or they
• 48:03
  can't issue a third check so then i go no i'm
• 48:08
  not doing that i'm not doing that i'm seven hours
• 48:10
  into this And now you want me to spend my time
• 48:13
  to drive down to the post office, because I'm
• 48:15
  going to have to send it with receipt confirmation.
• 48:18
  I straight up told them, I said, your guys' incompetence
• 48:20
  demands that I now have to have receipt confirmation,
• 48:24
  which costs me $5 .55. I looked it up. The stamp
• 48:27
  is $0 .82. I looked it up. It's going to cost
• 48:29
  me an hour to get to in there, because I live
• 48:31
  in the rural area. And it's going to cost me
• 48:33
  three gallons of gas at $4 .60 a gallon. I'm
• 48:36
  invoicing you. I'll invoice you for all of it.
• 48:39
  Plus my seven hours that I already have into
• 48:41
  this and I average about $150 an hour with my
• 48:44
  current work, which is, which is actually low.
• 48:46
  I low balled it just to be quote unquote polite
• 48:49
  and said, yeah, this is bullshit. So then I get
• 48:52
  the top gal, Nancy, I think was her name, who
• 48:56
  said, Mr. Banducci, we know it's really a bummer,
• 49:00
  yada, yada, yada. But like legally this is now
• 49:02
  how it has to be done because of what happened,
• 49:04
  yada, yada, yada. And, uh, and I said, Fine,
• 49:08
  I'll do it, but I'm invoicing you and this is
• 49:11
  absolute bullshit and you all are incompetent.
• 49:13
  I'm invoicing you, yeah. And I sent it all off.
• 49:17
  It took them three more weeks to send me my check
• 49:22
  and I got it. I got it last Friday. You did get
• 49:27
  it and it's made out to? I did. Fade out to now
• 49:33
  that check that my wife is actually as we speak
• 49:35
  depositing. I said it's made out to who? To Paul
• 49:38
  Banducci. Like it should have been the first
• 49:41
  time. Whoa. I actually scanned in the check stubs
• 49:45
  or the useless checks. I scanned it all in along
• 49:49
  with the instructions on what to do and emailed
• 49:51
  it back to everybody on the other end and said,
• 49:53
  look, here it all is. How come this doesn't work?
• 49:56
  And they said, no, we need it. We need it physical.
• 49:58
  You have to send it, mail it to us. So we got
• 50:01
  it Friday and it will now cover the late penalty
• 50:07
  that I just paid to the state of Idaho yesterday.
• 50:10
  Perfect. Yay. Excellent. So everything you should
• 50:14
  know about government. Now, you know. I can't
• 50:19
  wait for the Irving to get back from his six
• 50:22
  -week vacation on the French Riviera. See, what
• 50:25
  happened is Governor Pervert, he made a declaration
• 50:29
  that that guy's entire department should get
• 50:31
  a six -week all -expenses paid vacation. So if
• 50:33
  the guy's gone, obviously, when he gets back
• 50:35
  and he looks at your invoice and then he does
• 50:37
  that thing where he crumples it up and tosses
• 50:39
  it backwards over his shoulder into a waste paper
• 50:41
  basket, that's going to be especially satisfying.
• 50:45
  And what's crazy about all of that is that after
• 50:47
  I would get done telling a story like this, most
• 50:50
  people out there will just have this reaction.
• 50:53
  That's the coolest fucking story I've ever heard
• 50:55
  in my entire life. That's insane. Can I hear
• 50:57
  it again? Do you have time? And then just move
• 51:00
  on with their lives. A lot of outs, a lot of
• 51:04
  what have yous. But hey, you know, but if we
• 51:07
  didn't pay our property taxes, society would
• 51:10
  fucking collapse somehow. They're a given. They're
• 51:13
  an absolute given. Our alien overlords have have
• 51:17
  foisted them on us. There's absolutely nothing
• 51:18
  we can do about it. We can't possibly consider
• 51:21
  any premise that suggests that they're immoral
• 51:24
  or confiscatory or wrong or that the services
• 51:28
  that they say, no, no, no, no, no. They're just
• 51:29
  a given. They're they're etched into the into
• 51:32
  the tablet. from Sinai, now cough it up citizen
• 51:34
  and hold still for the services. Stop squirming!
• 51:38
  I am one happy customer. They're very good at
• 52:02
  masking themselves as a legitimate private entity
• 52:05
  And then when you really pull everything back
• 52:07
  and you pull these layers back you realize who
• 52:10
  you're dealing with you're dealing with the cartel
• 52:12
  You ready to do an ask Paul before mid show?
• 52:15
  Let's do it Here comes the question big or small
• 52:18
  make your guess before we call the game begins.
• 52:21
  It's asked brought to you by Pfizer. This is
• 52:25
  a little bit of a longer clip than normal for
• 52:28
  an asphalt. It's from NPR. It's about a minute
• 52:30
  30 seconds and I've bleeped out all the instances.
• 52:32
  We're going to guess at the end. One of Idaho's
• 52:34
  largest public health entities is putting up
• 52:36
  a quarter million dollars to battle a growing
• 52:39
  infestation of as George Prentice reports, a
• 52:42
  growing number of Idahoans say it's nowhere near
• 52:45
  enough and it's long overdue. Calls began coming
• 52:48
  into city halls across the region years ago,
• 52:51
  and now residents and even officials are using
• 52:54
  words like infestation or invasion. City and
• 52:57
  county governments said they didn't have the
• 52:59
  authority or funding to create special abatement
• 53:02
  districts for invasive b****. So the problem
• 53:05
  was pushed to the state legislature. The one
• 53:08
  thing we can't do is nothing. that could result
• 53:10
  in a truly out of control situation. Nah, I just
• 53:13
  have to, we're gonna stop it there because I
• 53:15
  have to highlight this soundboard material. One
• 53:18
  thing we can't do is nothing. Does that not just
• 53:22
  sum up everything we've been talking about? That's
• 53:25
  the only thing you should do, asshole! The only
• 53:28
  thing! The one thing we can't do is nothing.
• 53:32
  That's the one thing we can't do. Now hold still
• 53:34
  because we can't do nothing. That could result
• 53:36
  in a truly out of control situation. That's Boise
• 53:39
  Democratic Representative Steve Birch. I can't
• 53:41
  believe they actually labeled him Democrat, but
• 53:44
  they said Democratic. He's a Democrat. But whatever,
• 53:47
  they at least labeled him this time. That's Boise
• 53:49
  Democratic Representative Steve Birch. Democratic,
• 53:52
  yeah. But his bill asking the Idaho Department
• 53:54
  of Agriculture to take the lead on the problem
• 53:56
  failed to pass the Idaho House. Meanwhile, at
• 53:59
  city halls in Boise, Garden City, Cuna, Meridian,
• 54:02
  and Starr, complaint calls continue to grow almost
• 54:05
  as fast as the... population. There's just a
• 54:08
  real need in Ada County for somebody to convene
• 54:11
  all the players that want to address that problem.
• 54:14
  That central district health director Kristen
• 54:16
  Ryan last Friday asking the district's board
• 54:19
  to reallocate $250 ,000 to get a prevention program
• 54:23
  going in Ada County. Meanwhile, the latest signs
• 54:26
  to pop up in Boise front yards read while you
• 54:29
  debate, we populate with a larger than life image
• 54:33
  of a mother surrounded by dozens of. baby. A
• 54:37
  county health official says they've been getting
• 54:39
  into feedlots, dairies and commercial kitchens.
• 54:44
  What are they talking about? Illegal immigrants.
• 54:52
  Oh, just because it was an invasion, huh? Want
• 54:55
  to guess again? Well, they're popping up all
• 54:58
  over the place they breed like crazy They're
• 55:01
  found all over big ag down there and in southern,
• 55:05
  Idaho, South, Idaho Undocumented workers People
• 55:14
  don't have a problem with it till they show up
• 55:15
  on your lawn All right, all right, hold on it's
• 55:21
  got to be it's got to be like Like ground squirrels
• 55:26
  or something would be my guess North Idaho NAACP
• 55:32
  guy You're in the right right you're in the right
• 55:38
  vein it is rodentia, okay But it's not squirrels
• 55:42
  one of Idaho's largest public health entities
• 55:44
  is putting up a quarter million dollars to battle
• 55:46
  a growing infestation of rats as George Prentice
• 55:50
  reports a girl rats about rats Rats well ground
• 55:55
  squirrels prayer ground rodents basically, you
• 55:59
  know prairie prairie dogs. They're They're just
• 56:02
  cuter rats. They're cute. Of course they are.
• 56:05
  Yeah, they for sure are But yeah, so we're talking
• 56:08
  straight -up rats then rats. Yep interesting
• 56:11
  Not a problem that has been common to rural areas
• 56:16
  rats are typically city folk problems Well, so
• 56:19
  I dug into it a little bit because I thought
• 56:21
  the same thing I was like what? what is happening
• 56:23
  here that all of a sudden there's a rat problem?
• 56:28
  There's not like a definitive. It seems to have
• 56:30
  started somewhere around 2020. And from what
• 56:34
  I could tell, the closest guess would be like,
• 56:37
  well, there's a bunch of development. on account
• 56:40
  of the migration, the 2020 migration, where now
• 56:43
  there's a lot of development, where it was previously
• 56:47
  agriculture land, and now there's subdivisions,
• 56:50
  and maybe some Norway rats, like these non -native
• 56:54
  rats got on, a small population came in a pod,
• 57:00
  or a U -Haul or whatever, and then established,
• 57:03
  and then it takes... a few years for it to become
• 57:05
  noticeable as the breeding exponentializes or
• 57:08
  whatever. And but all of this obviously is speculation.
• 57:12
  But yeah, there seems to be there were like no
• 57:14
  rat calls ever. And then it was like, oh, and
• 57:17
  then there was a few last year. Another was like
• 57:19
  80 this year. And there just seemed to be rats
• 57:21
  everywhere where there weren't before. I don't
• 57:25
  know. It's sort of a confusing story. Curiouser
• 57:29
  and curiouser. Well, we'll hear more about it,
• 57:31
  I'm sure, if it continues to be a problem. Yeah,
• 57:34
  it will be a problem quickly if it's I mean rats
• 57:38
  doesn't tend to be a slow problem Well, you did
• 57:42
  hear at the top there that there's a quarter
• 57:44
  million bucks coming from Health entities is
• 57:48
  putting up a quarter million dollars to battle
• 57:50
  a growing infestation of rats as George Prentice
• 57:53
  report No, no, I heard it. I heard it as always
• 57:55
  the solution is more money and a government agency
• 57:59
  slash committee slash Whatever the hell And that
• 58:03
  whatever program that they build, it will be
• 58:06
  there forever now. It'll be permanent. It doesn't
• 58:09
  matter. It's a temporary program. It'll be there
• 58:11
  forever. And I guarantee you this, too. They
• 58:13
  won't ever get rid of the rats. They might make
• 58:16
  a dent. They probably won't. And now you have
• 58:19
  job security for however many more bureaucrats
• 58:22
  in another government program that only starts
• 58:25
  at a quarter of a million dollars. I'm actually
• 58:27
  shocked it's that small. Shocked well if you
• 58:30
  hear what that's as George Prentice reports a
• 58:33
  growing number of Idahoans say it's nowhere near
• 58:35
  enough It's nowhere near enough It never is so
• 58:39
  there you go that doesn't matter what the problem
• 58:41
  is the solution is more money and power for government
• 58:45
  and In no way will the apparatus that forms around
• 58:49
  the solving of this problem be incentivized to
• 58:51
  grow the problem Nope doesn't work like that
• 58:53
  never never ever be enough That's more soundboard
• 58:59
  material there take my money. Yeah, really. Okay.
• 59:02
  Well speaking of that there said we always seem
• 59:03
  to be transitioning into the Into the mid show
• 59:06
  because it's like something about money and there's
• 59:08
  the money the money's been confiscated. We're
• 59:10
  spending the money We there's not enough money.
• 59:12
  Well, hey, it's not our fault man. Don't hate
• 59:14
  the players hate the game It's just because the
• 59:17
  state is a greedy bastard and all it does is
• 59:19
  extort and take and kill and steal and and up
• 59:23
  and money well Speaking of not enough money,
• 59:27
  this program is a value for value show. We've
• 59:32
  taken the vow of poverty by being a value for
• 59:36
  value proposition. No ID. This podcast is a value
• 59:39
  for value podcast. And it means that you're never
• 59:42
  going to hear, you know, sponsors or advertisers
• 59:45
  on this show like, you know, Yelp or whatever.
• 59:49
  If you go to our website, you're never going
• 59:51
  to have a pop up that's like, hey, how did we
• 59:53
  do customer? It's not going to be like that.
• 59:56
  It's all just going to be based on we don't really
• 59:58
  want to know. And we don't. That's true. You
• 1:00:00
  know, just accolades only. You know, if it's
• 1:00:03
  a one star, just keep it yourself. Did you ever
• 1:00:05
  have, by the way, both of us come from the the
• 1:00:08
  retail hospitality backgrounds? We ran a brick
• 1:00:10
  and mortar establishment where people voluntarily
• 1:00:13
  spent their time and their money. Did you ever
• 1:00:15
  have the ridiculous one star reviews that was
• 1:00:18
  based that like told you more about the person?
• 1:00:21
  Because it was like, you know, twenty five star
• 1:00:23
  reviews and there's one one star review and someone's
• 1:00:25
  like, I asked for ice for my water and the guy
• 1:00:29
  only gave me two cubes, one star like shit like
• 1:00:31
  that. In the in my entire career for the racketeer,
• 1:00:37
  anyways, it was a 12 year career bulldog in the
• 1:00:39
  racketeer, but I'm going to just count the racketeer
• 1:00:41
  because that was cigar lodges that towards the
• 1:00:43
  end. Yep. So twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty
• 1:00:45
  three, twenty four, twenty five. We ended up
• 1:00:47
  racking up over two hundred some odd reviews,
• 1:00:49
  I think. And I had two that were one star. I
• 1:00:54
  don't know, one, I think that was one star. One
• 1:00:57
  or two that were two stars, two that were four
• 1:01:00
  stars, and everything else that was five star.
• 1:01:04
  We actually had a stellar, stellar record. But
• 1:01:08
  to your point, all three of the ones that were
• 1:01:14
  basically less than four stars, were exactly
• 1:01:17
  what you're describing. One of them was guys
• 1:01:21
  who came in and they, my employee was in the
• 1:01:24
  restroom and they came in, saw that there were
• 1:01:27
  like 12 customers having a great time and didn't
• 1:01:29
  stay long enough to let my employee come out
• 1:01:31
  of the restroom and like serve them. They left
• 1:01:34
  in a huff. and then left and then left a review
• 1:01:36
  about it and we're like oh you know we we got
• 1:01:39
  a tour of the whole place and still couldn't
• 1:01:41
  find anybody manning the store and man it's you
• 1:01:43
  know awfully trusting of people and yada yada
• 1:01:46
  so you know i wrote a response was like hey the
• 1:01:48
  uh you know the 12 other happy customers there
• 1:01:50
  didn't give it away that somebody was somebody
• 1:01:54
  was staffing the place and oh by the way we had
• 1:01:56
  two bathrooms and if you toured the whole place
• 1:01:58
  like you say you would have noticed one of the
• 1:01:59
  bathrooms had somebody in it and deductive reasoning
• 1:02:01
  would have you know You could have figured that
• 1:02:04
  one out. And then my other favorite one was a
• 1:02:07
  gal who read us the riot act for not being generic
• 1:02:11
  enough. Her two biggest complaints were that
• 1:02:14
  we were busy, we were full and popular on a Friday
• 1:02:18
  night, and that we didn't serve Guinness or any
• 1:02:22
  of the other generic beers. In fact, and I quote,
• 1:02:24
  and the reviews are still there. You can Google
• 1:02:26
  the racketeer and you'll find it. And I quote,
• 1:02:31
  They served too many local beers that I'd never
• 1:02:35
  heard of. Why can't you serve stuff like Guinness?
• 1:02:38
  Drink macro. Yeah. And then they compared us
• 1:02:43
  to Legends of Fire at Quest, which is the definition
• 1:02:46
  of a generic touristy cigar lounge where they,
• 1:02:49
  everything, all the products there are generic
• 1:02:51
  and shitty, but that's what she liked. And we
• 1:02:53
  didn't do that. So that was one of my favorites.
• 1:02:56
  It's too bad generic and shitty would be not
• 1:02:59
  a terrible show title, but we already used shitty
• 1:03:01
  last week So it's not in the running, but I like
• 1:03:03
  generic and shitty It's funny that you say not
• 1:03:08
  didn't have Guinness because I remember we the
• 1:03:10
  the same story where we just had you know loads
• 1:03:12
  of of great reviews over the years and there
• 1:03:14
  were a handful of these One stars from which
• 1:03:18
  again just told you more about the person writing
• 1:03:20
  it than it did about the establishment And the
• 1:03:23
  the standouts were one probably the most memorable
• 1:03:26
  was the lady who was like, yeah, one star, like
• 1:03:28
  I came in, we were at a craft beer bar at 21,
• 1:03:32
  rotating taps. That's how we build ourselves
• 1:03:34
  and that's what we were. And the lady was like,
• 1:03:37
  I came in, I had a terrific experience, great
• 1:03:40
  atmosphere, great ambiance, super helpful staff,
• 1:03:43
  tried the best cider I'd ever had in my life,
• 1:03:45
  brought my boyfriend back the next week so he
• 1:03:47
  could try it and it wasn't on tap anymore, one
• 1:03:50
  star. No way. Yeah, absolutely. And like you
• 1:03:53
  said, these are all still there. You can just
• 1:03:55
  go Google it. The hop grenade in Northern California.
• 1:03:57
  Fantastic. Yep. Uh, so actually I couldn't help
• 1:03:59
  myself. I Googled the racketeer lounge. We have
• 1:04:02
  178 Google reviews. Almost all of them are from
• 1:04:04
  when I was running the show and we have 4 .9.
• 1:04:09
  That's almost in the world we live in. That's
• 1:04:11
  almost physically impossible, right? And we did
• 1:04:14
  it. Yep. Yeah, but you know, you get the idea.
• 1:04:17
  I'm sure you guys were right up there, too. But
• 1:04:19
  yeah, you know, best experience ever. One star
• 1:04:22
  because they rotated the taps like they say they
• 1:04:25
  do every week. Yeah. Yep. That was the review.
• 1:04:29
  One star. And I remember the first part of it
• 1:04:32
  was like complimenting everything about the establishment.
• 1:04:34
  So not three stars. I mean, one star. OK. In
• 1:04:39
  any case, value for value. is basically what
• 1:04:42
  we're describing our establishments as having
• 1:04:43
  done, providing a valuable experience with premium
• 1:04:47
  tobacco or craft beer and the places to hang
• 1:04:50
  out and consume and enjoy those products. And
• 1:04:52
  then the value contributed back by the people
• 1:04:55
  who voluntarily patronized our establishments.
• 1:04:59
  It's sort of that model, which is if you find
• 1:05:02
  this place to be valuable, you want to go hang
• 1:05:04
  out there and then you kick value back. for the
• 1:05:07
  value you're consuming. Now obviously there's
• 1:05:08
  more structure to the retail establishments because
• 1:05:10
  they're set prices. This place is just as voluntary,
• 1:05:16
  this podcast, this value for value podcast, just
• 1:05:19
  as voluntary but less structured. It's just a
• 1:05:22
  straight up free market model which is that if
• 1:05:24
  you find value in our product that we try to
• 1:05:26
  make valuable every week, every Thursday, that
• 1:05:29
  you kick value back to us. you gotta contribute
• 1:05:32
  value to the things that you want to stick around.
• 1:05:34
  If you want them to continue, value is needed.
• 1:05:38
  And value can be many forms, specifically time,
• 1:05:41
  talent, or treasure. And you know, ratings, speaking
• 1:05:43
  as long as we're on ratings and reviews, there
• 1:05:46
  is value there. That's something that I never
• 1:05:48
  say, mostly because I'm not really sure if it's
• 1:05:50
  actually that valuable, but I keep being told
• 1:05:52
  that it is. So contributing back value with time
• 1:05:55
  looks like leaving a review, rating or leaving
• 1:05:59
  a review or both. on whatever platform you're
• 1:06:01
  consuming this show on so you know it's it's
• 1:06:04
  a pretty pretty small time investment um you
• 1:06:10
  know if you're gonna leave a one star try and
• 1:06:11
  be a little bit more compelling with why we suck
• 1:06:13
  than what we just described um and if you'd like
• 1:06:16
  to leave more than one star we would greatly
• 1:06:19
  appreciate it uh rating and reviewing is a spot
• 1:06:22
  somewhere where you can even give us stars i
• 1:06:25
  don't even know where it's at But more power
• 1:06:27
  to you, I guess. I think if it's YouTube, go
• 1:06:29
  ahead and, you know, give us a thumbs up or a
• 1:06:31
  subscription, a subscribe or whatever. If it's
• 1:06:33
  on Facebook, I think it's also just a thumbs
• 1:06:35
  up or a follow. Well, all of the all of the the
• 1:06:39
  listening platforms for the audio Spotify, Apple
• 1:06:42
  podcasts, all of the podcast, all the podcasting
• 1:06:44
  2 .0 apps, Podverse and, you know, yeah, they
• 1:06:48
  all have tells you what I know about the. about
• 1:06:50
  the space. Sorry. Yeah, Paul knows as much about
• 1:06:53
  podcast apps as he does about outlook alert settings.
• 1:06:57
  I also know as much about all of those things
• 1:06:59
  as I do about apparently, Anthony Fauci's heritage.
• 1:07:03
  Oh, yeah. Okay, before we continue on with value
• 1:07:06
  for value, and then we'll get to second. We've
• 1:07:08
  got some Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? We'll do
• 1:07:12
  it right now. Speaking of value, since we value
• 1:07:15
  your listenership and we value the truth and
• 1:07:18
  honesty and well, I guess Paul's got prison.
• 1:07:23
  Paul's got some humble pie to eat or some crow
• 1:07:25
  to scarf down or something here. All right. Here,
• 1:07:29
  I'll let you set it up, Scott. Will and I'll
• 1:07:32
  set it up by saying that I a couple I heard feedback
• 1:07:35
  from two different people one Directly and one
• 1:07:37
  indirectly about a particular moment from last
• 1:07:40
  episode episode 41 where we were discussing His
• 1:07:44
  Royal Highness Lord Anthony Fauci who you know
• 1:07:48
  after on the he was whatever the congressional
• 1:07:50
  hearings and stuff So that had come up and there
• 1:07:51
  was a throwaway line that Paul delivered that
• 1:07:54
  I just Sort of laughed off and we moved right
• 1:07:56
  on and I had a couple different people go like
• 1:07:58
  what did Paul mean by that? and I gave a couple
• 1:08:02
  different theories of what I thought you meant
• 1:08:04
  by it, and then when we were discussing it today
• 1:08:06
  before the show, both of my theories were incorrect
• 1:08:09
  and the truth was much simpler. Let me just say
• 1:08:11
  that contributing back time with feedback about
• 1:08:15
  what you're hearing, whether you're sending us
• 1:08:18
  notes, talking about it with us, texting us,
• 1:08:20
  et cetera, sending us articles. Got lots of those
• 1:08:22
  this week. You know, the statement by Mayor Westland,
• 1:08:26
  all that. All of those are value returned in
• 1:08:28
  the time category. And I appreciate it. But here
• 1:08:31
  is the moment from Episode 41 in question. You
• 1:08:33
  know, he's going to end up being Professor Emeritus
• 1:08:35
  at fucking Berkeley or something. They're going
• 1:08:38
  to give him half the universities on the planet
• 1:08:41
  will all give him an honorary degree and call
• 1:08:43
  him a hero. And he's he's going to do fine. platinum
• 1:08:46
  parachute for a guy like that and if all else
• 1:08:48
  fails you can always move back to the motherland
• 1:08:50
  of israel and he'll be fine so i asked paul i
• 1:08:54
  said what i think i know what you meant by that
• 1:08:57
  but like i don't know i got asked by a couple
• 1:08:58
  people what you meant And you said, yeah, yeah.
• 1:09:04
  And the answer as usual tends to be the most
• 1:09:07
  simple, but also the most absurd, you know, Scott's
• 1:09:10
  got a couple of different theories and they're
• 1:09:11
  all right. They're all wrong for the right reasons
• 1:09:14
  or right for the wrong reasons. It turns out
• 1:09:15
  I'm just, I'm just a putz this whole time. It's
• 1:09:19
  so embarrassing. It's proof that, you know, I'm,
• 1:09:23
  I'm spot on most of the damn time, but there
• 1:09:25
  are times when I just swing in a miss so hard,
• 1:09:29
  so hard. and this is one of those times where,
• 1:09:33
  you know, that like the baseball poem of mighty
• 1:09:37
  Casey, mighty Casey struck out. I thought this
• 1:09:42
  whole time, I thought Fauci was Jewish. Yeah,
• 1:09:46
  I thought he was Jewish. So the comment was kind
• 1:09:51
  of a throwaway comment, but for a totally different
• 1:09:53
  reason because it was, because Israel, the state,
• 1:09:57
  the nation, the state of Israel, Led the charge
• 1:10:00
  on being one of the most if not the most authoritative
• 1:10:05
  and authoritarian Countries on planet earth during
• 1:10:08
  the kovat years They they were all about the
• 1:10:12
  vax passports the the shutdowns the walls the
• 1:10:16
  triple masking the quintuple vaccine You know
• 1:10:20
  and the whole thing of course was massively and
• 1:10:22
  sickly grossly ironic for a for a nation that
• 1:10:26
  was born out of the Holocaust to be the nation
• 1:10:30
  in the world that was known for basically show
• 1:10:32
  us the papers during COVID. And so, you know,
• 1:10:36
  me operating under the premise that Fauci was
• 1:10:39
  Jewish. I think that's why I said what I said
• 1:10:41
  is like, yeah, you know, so if all else fails,
• 1:10:43
  he'll be able to go back to his motherland, Israel,
• 1:10:46
  and they'll hail him as a hero and he'll be set
• 1:10:47
  for life and he'll be fine. That's what that
• 1:10:50
  was all about. Furthermore, just for context,
• 1:10:53
  and Scott knows this, but you know, we discussed
• 1:10:56
  it before the show is like, I am not one of those
• 1:11:00
  guys who is like anti Semitic for the sake of
• 1:11:03
  being anti Semitic. There's a lot of folks that
• 1:11:06
  in North Idaho, there are definitely some folks
• 1:11:07
  who can fit that bill and they hold the worldview
• 1:11:10
  that I will make fun of all day. We're like,
• 1:11:13
  the Jews control the world. They control everything.
• 1:11:16
  But at the same time, the Jews are somehow an
• 1:11:18
  inferior race. Yeah, that's not me. And I also
• 1:11:23
  don't think the Jews are the reason everything
• 1:11:25
  sucks or that they control the world. However,
• 1:11:26
  if you do a little bit of research, you'll see
• 1:11:28
  that the people who wear the tiny hats do have
• 1:11:30
  their hands on a lot of things. There's a lot
• 1:11:33
  of money. There's a lot of power. There's a lot
• 1:11:34
  of influence. I mean, you know, in the media
• 1:11:36
  industries alone, there's a fuck ton of goldsmiths
• 1:11:39
  and goldbergs and whatever else, whatever have
• 1:11:42
  you. You know, I'm a noticer. You have to be
• 1:11:46
  to be on a podcast like this. And and there you
• 1:11:50
  go. So I'm operating under the, I was operating
• 1:11:53
  under the false premise. Like this whole time
• 1:11:54
  I thought, yeah, Anthony Fauci was, was of Jewish
• 1:11:57
  lineage. So Israel made sense. But I don't think,
• 1:12:01
  I don't think the Jews are why COVID was, you
• 1:12:04
  know, I'd like, I don't think the Jews ushered
• 1:12:06
  in COVID to destroy us all. You know, that's,
• 1:12:09
  that's not the narrative. Well, then there's
• 1:12:12
  a reverse logic that goes on with that premise,
• 1:12:15
  where you look at any given fill in the blank,
• 1:12:17
  and it's like, well, look, see, that guy's a
• 1:12:19
  Jew, that guy's a Jew, and that woman's a Jew.
• 1:12:21
  And it's like, yeah, but what about those other
• 1:12:23
  four people also, not Jews? Like, you're just
• 1:12:26
  pointing out the Jews and saying they're Jews.
• 1:12:28
  Well, they're disproportionately, yeah, no, Jews
• 1:12:30
  are disproportionately represented in a lot of
• 1:12:33
  areas of influence, the things you agree with
• 1:12:35
  and the things you don't agree with, because
• 1:12:36
  Jews are a tiny population. It's definitional
• 1:12:39
  well and ultimately I am gonna call a spade a
• 1:12:41
  spade and I am I play the humor angle because
• 1:12:44
  you know you got to laugh about these things
• 1:12:46
  and I'm a big believer and there's pretty with
• 1:12:50
  a few major exceptions or like Like heinous exceptions.
• 1:12:54
  I guess I should say there's really no holds
• 1:12:56
  barred so Everybody gets a poke in the eye, whether
• 1:12:59
  that's the Jews, the Italians, otherwise known
• 1:13:01
  as the WAPs, or whether that's statists, or whether
• 1:13:04
  that's conservatives who don't think they're
• 1:13:06
  statists, but they are. I mean, everybody gets
• 1:13:08
  a piece, that's for sure. Including myself at
• 1:13:10
  times, because I also can be very self -deprecating
• 1:13:13
  about being a wild -eyed anarchist libertarian,
• 1:13:15
  because you gotta laugh about that too. Nobody's
• 1:13:17
  safe. Well, yeah, well, nobody's safe because
• 1:13:20
  influence peddlers and assholes and tyrants and
• 1:13:23
  authoritarians and etc. come in all shapes and
• 1:13:26
  sizes. Because it's humanity, man. It's humanity
• 1:13:29
  that's the problem. So like like the post fall
• 1:13:32
  city government or any other taxing entity, how
• 1:13:36
  are the people that are tasked to solve the problem
• 1:13:38
  going to solve the problem when they are the
• 1:13:39
  problem? When they are the problem. What a great
• 1:13:43
  question, Scott. Thank you. So anyways, to the
• 1:13:46
  on the value for value point, I'm circling it
• 1:13:49
  back around for you all. We do appreciate all
• 1:13:51
  of the feedback. We see it all. We try to respond
• 1:13:54
  and react to all of it in some way, shape or
• 1:13:56
  form. I appreciate the questions that got asked
• 1:13:58
  and hopefully that clears it up. It was, you
• 1:14:02
  know, it was pretty simple. Yes, the definitive
• 1:14:04
  much simpler than worth clearing it up. Yeah,
• 1:14:06
  it's pretty funny. Like the like when I asked,
• 1:14:09
  you know, Paul off there before the show, like,
• 1:14:12
  you know, well, you know, what's that? And Paul
• 1:14:13
  was very is like, what? He was confused by the
• 1:14:15
  question. What do you mean? Like, yeah. And it's
• 1:14:19
  like, what? Oh, oh, oh, I see. I see the problem
• 1:14:23
  here. And then we. Yeah. Fauci's a Catholic,
• 1:14:27
  just for the record. So dumb on my part. Of course,
• 1:14:30
  he's not a Catholic at all. He's a status reptile
• 1:14:33
  is what he is. Give me a break. He's what we
• 1:14:36
  would call an East Coast Catholic. You know,
• 1:14:38
  there's trad Catholics and there's East Coast
• 1:14:40
  Catholics. The trad Catholics are the people
• 1:14:44
  I definitely respect a lot more. Still disagree
• 1:14:46
  on a number of things, but I have a lot of friends
• 1:14:48
  in the trad Catholic community for good reason.
• 1:14:50
  They fight hard, they work hard, they smoke hard,
• 1:14:52
  they drink hard. You know, they're not going
• 1:14:54
  to steal from you. I like there's a lot of reasons
• 1:14:57
  to like them. But the East Coast Catholics, there's
• 1:14:58
  a lot of reasons to dislike them. You know, and
• 1:15:02
  as long as we'll go, we'll finish up here with
• 1:15:04
  value for value. I did want to just read this
• 1:15:06
  because I saw it. I don't know whose quote it
• 1:15:08
  is or who wrote it, but it's terrific. As long
• 1:15:10
  as we're on St. Fauci and the state of Israel
• 1:15:15
  or a lot of other states that were, you know,
• 1:15:18
  the vaccine passports and like, oh, well, you
• 1:15:21
  need to get the jab or else the protected need
• 1:15:24
  to be protected from the unprotected by forcing
• 1:15:27
  the unprotected to use the protection that didn't
• 1:15:29
  protect the protected see do you see it all makes
• 1:15:33
  perfect sense now hold still citizen if you don't
• 1:15:35
  why are you squirming yes yeah make sense if
• 1:15:38
  you don't think about it okay uh to finish up
• 1:15:41
  time talents show us your max card or else or
• 1:15:44
  else Yes, so that's it. That's the model. Contribute
• 1:15:51
  back to our program, please, if you find it valuable
• 1:15:53
  with your time, your talent, or your treasure.
• 1:15:55
  NoIDShow .com is where to go to do all of that.
• 1:15:57
  And we do not have any executive producers this
• 1:16:00
  week. And that is the treasure portion of Time,
• 1:16:02
  Talent, Treasure. Value means many different
• 1:16:05
  things to many different people. So that could,
• 1:16:07
  you know, a dollar could be a lot to you. Ten
• 1:16:09
  thousand dollars could mean nothing or anything
• 1:16:11
  in between. So I have to admit, it's a little
• 1:16:13
  disappointing that we have no executive producers
• 1:16:15
  this week. So just try and keep that in mind
• 1:16:18
  and please support us if you find our work to
• 1:16:20
  be valuable, support the things that you like
• 1:16:22
  so that they stick around. That's pretty good
• 1:16:24
  streak, though. We had a pretty good streak.
• 1:16:26
  We had a really good streak. It's been a while
• 1:16:28
  since we since we were dry on that side of things.
• 1:16:31
  But hey, yeah, no worries. We still appreciate
• 1:16:33
  everybody listening. Thank you, guys. Please
• 1:16:36
  remember us at no ID show .com. The value for
• 1:16:38
  value model for the win. And then we'll do second
• 1:16:42
  half of show here. Do you have a song? I do.
• 1:16:45
  I do. And I just I it hit me 30 seconds ago of
• 1:16:49
  what the perfect. Don't play like Havana or something.
• 1:16:56
  I hope you guys love it as much as Scott's gonna
• 1:16:58
  hate it. Diddle, diddle, diddle, diddle, man.
• 1:17:30
  I'd build a big tall house where the roof's quite
• 1:17:35
  a dozen, right in the middle of the town. A fine
• 1:17:40
  tin roof where the real one floors below. There
• 1:17:46
  would be one long staircase just going up, and
• 1:17:50
  one ever longer coming down, and one more leading
• 1:17:55
  nowhere just for show. If I were a rich man,
• 1:18:04
  yabba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba
• 1:18:06
  dum, all day long I'd bitty bitty bum, if I were
• 1:18:12
  a wealthy man. I see my wife, my goldie, looking
• 1:18:36
  like a rich man's wife with a proper double chin.
• 1:18:41
  Supervising appeals to her heart's delight. I
• 1:18:47
  see her putting on airs and strutting like a
• 1:18:51
  peacock. Oh, what a happy mood she's in. Screaming
• 1:18:56
  at her servants day and night. The most important
• 1:19:05
  man in town will come to pardon me. They will
• 1:19:09
  ask me to advise them, like Solomon the Wise.
• 1:19:17
  If you please, Reptavia, pardon me, Reptavia.
• 1:19:25
  Posing problems that would cross their revised
• 1:19:29
  eyes. And it won't make one bit of difference
• 1:19:45
  if I answer right or wrong. When you're rich,
• 1:19:51
  they think you really know. If I were a rich
• 1:19:58
  man... If I were a wealthy man... You wouldn't
• 1:20:12
  have to work hard Lord who made the lion and
• 1:20:20
  the lamb You decreed I should be what I am Would
• 1:20:25
  it spoil some vast eternal plan? If I were a
• 1:20:33
  whale You know, I'm reminded of a few weeks ago
• 1:20:47
  when Paul was like, hey, man, I'm doing some
• 1:20:51
  reconciliation on the spreadsheet. Are you going
• 1:20:53
  to deposit the last few weeks of listener donation
• 1:20:57
  of a producer donations or are you just going
• 1:21:02
  to hoard them or are you going to put them in
• 1:21:04
  the bank? And to which I responded, my people
• 1:21:07
  own the banks. I'm hoarding it either way. Yeah,
• 1:21:11
  it's pretty good. OK, second half of show. All
• 1:21:18
  right, I'm ashamed to say I don't have anything
• 1:21:22
  for you this week. I went down a couple of rabbit
• 1:21:25
  trails and I didn't like where any of them went
• 1:21:28
  because they weren't interesting. I thought they
• 1:21:29
  were going to be and they weren't. So my Scots
• 1:21:33
  shots flamed out this week, but I'll be back
• 1:21:36
  next week. I will find something. I promise.
• 1:21:40
  But I went down three three different paths on
• 1:21:43
  the kovat stuff and all of it was not because
• 1:21:45
  not because it did not support What I was thinking
• 1:21:49
  or anything like that, but it all just turned
• 1:21:51
  out to be so humdrum and lame that I just went
• 1:21:54
  well You know what then let's just move on to
• 1:22:01
  I got some good stuff on the as long as we're
• 1:22:03
  on Okay, they will skip the hey what happened
• 1:22:05
  during the kovat stuff and we'll go to this week's
• 1:22:09
  mainstream media. Here's how to think about health
• 1:22:12
  stuff. Idaho health officials are reporting the
• 1:22:15
  first human case of West Nile virus season. It's
• 1:22:19
  in southern Idaho and the Department of Health
• 1:22:21
  and Welfare says a Canyon County resident over
• 1:22:24
  65 years old developed West Nile meningitis and
• 1:22:27
  was hospitalized. Over 65 years old? They say
• 1:22:30
  Canyon? West Nile meningitis and was hospitalized.
• 1:22:34
  The Department of Health and Welfare says a Canyon
• 1:22:37
  County resident over... Canyon County. Canyon?
• 1:22:40
  Oh, Canyon County. No wonder. Oh, man. I was
• 1:22:45
  just thinking, what bad luck. Like, you're from
• 1:22:47
  Kenya, you immigrate over here, and you still
• 1:22:50
  get West Nile virus? Any resident over 65 years
• 1:22:55
  old developed West now over six years, so they
• 1:22:57
  could have been a hundred and seventy four Just
• 1:22:59
  we just know that they're over 65 a resident
• 1:23:01
  over 65 years old developed West now meningitis
• 1:23:04
  and was hospitalized Officials say older adults
• 1:23:07
  and people with a weakened immune systems face
• 1:23:10
  a higher risk of from absolutely everything in
• 1:23:15
  life I Was just gonna say that but then my next
• 1:23:18
  question my follow -up question then is are they
• 1:23:20
  gonna make him die all alone in quarantine, like
• 1:23:25
  they did so many others a few years back for
• 1:23:27
  other reasons. Yes. That also puts you at higher
• 1:23:31
  risk if you were older. Your family can watch
• 1:23:34
  you through the window, but only if they're double
• 1:23:37
  masked. They're not even. No, that's too close.
• 1:23:40
  They have to watch you through a live feed. Oh,
• 1:23:43
  yes. On the Internet. I don't know, man. Are
• 1:23:44
  you sure you can't get it through a fiber optic
• 1:23:47
  cable? I hear a lot goes through this a lot of
• 1:23:49
  transmission. This isn't an episode. This isn't
• 1:23:53
  a what was that movie VHS? Is that what it was
• 1:23:56
  called or the one where she comes with the TV?
• 1:23:59
  One of the horror films were like the chick comes
• 1:24:02
  to the TV poltergeist I Don't know any of them
• 1:24:06
  the ring I don't watch because I don't watch
• 1:24:08
  that genre now that might have been it right
• 1:24:10
  There's like three or four of them. Oh, I think
• 1:24:11
  it was the franchise of the ring Yeah, we're
• 1:24:14
  like if you watch the tape you die like a couple
• 1:24:16
  weeks later. Yeah, the ring. Yeah that But anyways,
• 1:24:19
  the point is this poor Kenyan man is sick and
• 1:24:23
  hopefully they're not going to make him die alone.
• 1:24:27
  Officials say older adults and people with weakened
• 1:24:30
  immune systems face a higher risk of severe illness.
• 1:24:34
  They're urging people to use insect repellent
• 1:24:36
  protective clothing and dump any standing water
• 1:24:39
  around their home. Thank you. They always end
• 1:24:41
  with the the practical advice from the official
• 1:24:43
  experts. So that's a very deeply appreciated
• 1:24:46
  KREM Channel 2. The experts say re -landscaping
• 1:24:51
  your lawn should take care of this problem. But
• 1:24:54
  you're over 65, so don't throw out your back.
• 1:24:58
  Because what you don't know about re -landscaping
• 1:25:00
  your lawn could hurt your back. I have a quick
• 1:25:05
  story about the ring. the movie and that movie
• 1:25:09
  came out some I think 2004 or five and my girlfriend
• 1:25:13
  at the time and I watched it and she was into
• 1:25:15
  horror movies and I never really liked them but
• 1:25:17
  we watched it like at home like on DVD and you
• 1:25:20
  know she's scared frightening movie and like
• 1:25:22
  you said the whole the whole premise was you
• 1:25:25
  you watch this video and then a couple weeks
• 1:25:27
  later like you die we went to sleep that night
• 1:25:31
  and at like four o 'clock in the morning we're
• 1:25:34
  both sort of startled awake and we hear this
• 1:25:38
  noise, loud noise coming from the living room.
• 1:25:40
  It's like, what the hell is that? And like we
• 1:25:46
  go and I open my bedroom door and I was like
• 1:25:49
  up on the second floor and I like look down the
• 1:25:52
  landing like in the living room. And there's
• 1:25:54
  like the glow of the TV and it's like the TV's
• 1:25:59
  on. I don't know how it turned on. And it's like
• 1:26:02
  it's on like a fire and brimstone preacher. Like
• 1:26:06
  giving a like assertment. I don't even know what
• 1:26:09
  the hell channel was. This is back in the days
• 1:26:11
  when I still had like Comcast, you know. So it
• 1:26:13
  was, I don't know, somewhere deep at the four
• 1:26:14
  hundreds of fire. I was like, what in the hell?
• 1:26:19
  We had just watched the ring. So I like went
• 1:26:22
  downstairs. I'm like looking around like, what
• 1:26:24
  the hell? I turned the volume all the way down.
• 1:26:28
  Like, wow. I had no explanation. I turned the
• 1:26:31
  TV off. I went back upstairs. to this day i have
• 1:26:37
  no idea how that tv turned on or why it was on
• 1:26:41
  that channel no explanation and is the day we
• 1:26:44
  watched the freaking ring but you're still here
• 1:26:48
  so yeah you got that going for you well my people
• 1:26:52
  control the media so it doesn't affect me you
• 1:26:54
  know That's true. You're immune this whole time
• 1:26:57
  and apparently controls HHS and the CDC the I
• 1:27:01
  mean like, you know, cuz you're plugged in with
• 1:27:03
  Fauci and all aren't you? Yes. Well, I know him
• 1:27:07
  as a immune Fauci Steen, you know from before
• 1:27:10
  his family changed the name Yeah, yeah Anthony
• 1:27:13
  Goldsmith Fauci Bergenstein Go back to the homeland
• 1:27:17
  here is uh oh man the most racist thing i've
• 1:27:23
  ever said and it was accidental go back to your
• 1:27:25
  homeland oh it's not even his homeland So speaking
• 1:27:29
  of non -Jews. The towering evergreen that stands
• 1:27:34
  in Capitol Square in Washington D .C. to represent
• 1:27:37
  the people of the United States during Christmas
• 1:27:39
  time, also called the People's Tree, will be
• 1:27:42
  harvested in North Idaho this fall. Recently,
• 1:27:46
  Forest Service officials revealed an 80 -foot
• 1:27:48
  tall grand fir has been chosen from the Salmon
• 1:27:51
  River Ranger District. Zach Peterson is a staff
• 1:27:54
  officer for the Nez Perce Clearwater National
• 1:27:56
  Forests. He says the tree will be harvested in
• 1:27:58
  but they can't cut this giant fir down like a
• 1:28:02
  normal tree. We'll have a crane and the tree
• 1:28:05
  will get cut at the base and then it will get
• 1:28:08
  lifted up and then put onto the custom Capitol
• 1:28:11
  Christmas tree trailer. The exact location of
• 1:28:15
  the tree will remain secret until a few weeks
• 1:28:17
  before harvesting time in mid -October. Okay,
• 1:28:20
  so at the Capitol, at the religious center of...
• 1:28:24
  the Stateville will be a North Idaho tree, 80
• 1:28:29
  foot, you know, 200 year old tree that, of course,
• 1:28:33
  we the citizens, we could never fell a tree like
• 1:28:35
  that, but you know who can? No, nope. They'd
• 1:28:39
  never let us touch a tree like that. However,
• 1:28:41
  that'd be a federal offense. Oh, man. It's good
• 1:28:45
  to be king. It's good to be king. Because on
• 1:28:47
  the king's land, you can't hunt the king's deer
• 1:28:50
  or the king's trees, but they can take yours.
• 1:28:55
  Yeah, I wonder how much that operation is gonna
• 1:28:57
  cost as a first thing I think of is how much
• 1:29:00
  is that gonna cost anything? $50 ,000 tree $75
• 1:29:03
  ,000 tree. I Mean a crane dude in the crane Probably
• 1:29:07
  a staff of what 12 and then transport costs in
• 1:29:11
  the truck and then you go and then once you get
• 1:29:12
  it there You got to get it all set up and I don't
• 1:29:15
  think they make tree stands Generic tree stands
• 1:29:18
  that fit such a tree. Yes. Hi Walmart Um, so
• 1:29:22
  I'm looking for a tree stand and, but it needs
• 1:29:25
  to be a fairly big circumference. Yeah. Do you
• 1:29:28
  guys have anything that's like a six feet in
• 1:29:30
  diameter and can withstand? Oh, I don't know
• 1:29:35
  about three tons of tree. No. Can I special order
• 1:29:40
  that? What if I put it on layaway? Can I, Oh,
• 1:29:42
  Hey, do you guys, uh, do you guys allow a payment
• 1:29:45
  plans? Cause you know, Idaho's budget's a little
• 1:29:49
  rough right now. So you know what I'm saying?
• 1:29:51
  Taxing entities are strapped, you know, hold
• 1:29:54
  on the crane operator needs to take a two -week
• 1:29:55
  vacation. I Am curious mid -cut Let's ask the
• 1:30:01
  robot how much would a 80 -foot pine tree weigh
• 1:30:06
  approximately Chicken so for an 80 -foot pine
• 1:30:13
  a typical range for the whole tree is roughly
• 1:30:17
  three to eight tons It depends. Oh, you did.
• 1:30:20
  Oh, I was right. It's fur. Sorry. You're right.
• 1:30:22
  Fur. But that's probably three to eight. Well,
• 1:30:24
  so there's a huge range. So, yeah, many tons.
• 1:30:27
  That's true. That's a hell of an operation to
• 1:30:29
  pull a tree like that. That's crazy. Fur is even
• 1:30:33
  heavier. Eight thousand to sixteen thousand pounds,
• 1:30:36
  four to eight tons. So I undersold it. Yeah,
• 1:30:39
  you did. When I said three tons. Good gravy.
• 1:30:43
  Dude, I'm telling you, that's a fifty thousand
• 1:30:45
  dollar tree, if not more. That we cut down and
• 1:30:49
  set up and sacrifice to the god of government
• 1:30:52
  all hail the state the state Merry Christmas
• 1:30:57
  Here is remember that your Christmas could have
• 1:31:00
  easily been 20 % better if the state hadn't stolen
• 1:31:04
  all your money and stuff the state From the that's
• 1:31:09
  the Salmon River that they said they were gonna
• 1:31:10
  be pulling that from in North, Idaho now on to
• 1:31:13
  the Spokane River Here's another creme channel
• 1:31:16
  2 presentation about oh my god The river hath
• 1:31:20
  runneth dry for the second year in a row parts
• 1:31:22
  of the Spokane River are running dry today creme
• 1:31:24
  Tuesday Brandon T Jones went to the river to
• 1:31:26
  talk with experts experts experts about why we
• 1:31:29
  are seeing this There's no sounds of waves crashing
• 1:31:32
  against the shore no fish making their way upstream
• 1:31:35
  instead bone dry conditions in large rocks everywhere
• 1:31:39
  you look bone dry and it just sends everything
• 1:31:41
  is dead everywhere i like the rocks everywhere
• 1:31:45
  you look there's rocks bone dry conditions in
• 1:31:48
  large rocks everywhere you look and it just sends
• 1:31:52
  chills of my spine that this is um large rocks
• 1:31:55
  this is this is awful joel schultz is the spokane
• 1:31:58
  river keeper Joel Schultz is the Spokane Riverkeeper.
• 1:32:02
  So these are the experts that the anchor at the
• 1:32:04
  top was referring to. This guy is please tell
• 1:32:07
  me that he wears a hat like a wizard hat like
• 1:32:10
  Gandalf and he has a staff and he goes out there
• 1:32:13
  at least once a day in the middle of the river
• 1:32:15
  with a staff like over his head and talks to
• 1:32:19
  the river. Something just something like that.
• 1:32:23
  Keeper of the river. You know, what you're describing
• 1:32:26
  sounds a little bit like Moses parting the Red
• 1:32:28
  Sea. So I don't know, what are you a Jew? This
• 1:32:34
  is awful. Go back to your river. This is awful.
• 1:32:39
  Joel Schultz is the Spokane River keeper. And
• 1:32:41
  according to the organization, last year was
• 1:32:44
  the first time in recorded history this section
• 1:32:47
  of the river ran dry. Now I should mention we're
• 1:32:49
  here at Barker Road. Notice they don't say when
• 1:32:52
  they're recorded history. started since records
• 1:32:56
  keeping began in 2007 or whatever. No, I don't
• 1:33:00
  know what it is. I tried to sort of track that
• 1:33:01
  down, but there's too many different start points
• 1:33:03
  depending on which records you're talking about.
• 1:33:04
  But listen to how he says it. Last year was the
• 1:33:06
  first time in recorded history. In recorded history.
• 1:33:11
  This section of the river ran dry. Now I should
• 1:33:13
  mention we're here at Barker Roads just upstream
• 1:33:15
  and just downstream of Sullivan Road. So this
• 1:33:17
  is really the Spokane Valley that we're looking
• 1:33:19
  at. And this is the same stretch that went dry
• 1:33:20
  last year. And speaking of last year. This section
• 1:33:23
  didn't dry out until August 19th. This time around
• 1:33:26
  the dry conditions began two weeks earlier. And
• 1:33:29
  now experts experts are literally trying to find
• 1:33:33
  the leak. We're studying that with Spokane Community
• 1:33:36
  College and we're actually looking at how much
• 1:33:38
  water is leaking out of the bottom of the river,
• 1:33:40
  seeping into the bottom of the river, because
• 1:33:41
  that's where the water is going just straight
• 1:33:43
  through the bed of the river down into our aquifer.
• 1:33:45
  That's happening at a faster rate. But I thought
• 1:33:49
  it was. I thought it was climate change and it
• 1:33:52
  was too hot and too dry. And so that would lead
• 1:33:54
  to like more evaporation. And also because we
• 1:33:56
  had so much less snow this year and way less
• 1:33:59
  runoff and more rain. But now they're telling
• 1:34:02
  us that it's just that the the river is leaking
• 1:34:06
  out the bottom. Into the aquifer. They do know
• 1:34:10
  that goes into the aquifer, right? Well, he's
• 1:34:13
  yeah. And he said that. So did he? Did he mess
• 1:34:16
  up his talking? Going just straight through the
• 1:34:18
  bed of the river down into our aquifer. But that's
• 1:34:20
  happening at a faster rate. Low flows heading
• 1:34:22
  into the river have also contributed to the dry
• 1:34:24
  state of the section. But ultimately, there's
• 1:34:27
  no confirmed answers right now for why this is
• 1:34:30
  happening. And this whole ecosystem has just
• 1:34:33
  been destroyed by this lack of water, right?
• 1:34:35
  They used to be crayfish and fish and macroinvertebrates
• 1:34:37
  and it's just the whole ecosystem and that ecosystem
• 1:34:40
  is now gone. After Labor Day, the flow will improve
• 1:34:43
  artificially due to drainage from Lake Coeur
• 1:34:45
  d 'Alene, but until then, things will remain
• 1:34:47
  dry and the Spokane Riverkeeper We'll keep searching
• 1:34:51
  for answers. This seems to be telling us something.
• 1:34:55
  And if we listen, we could probably fix it. From
• 1:34:57
  Spokane Valley. Well, I thought that was your
• 1:34:59
  job. You're the river keeper. You listen. Let
• 1:35:02
  me guess. If we just listen closely. Telling
• 1:35:05
  us something. And if we listen, we could probably
• 1:35:07
  fix it. Government needs more money and power.
• 1:35:12
  Just listen to the river. Listen to how the news
• 1:35:17
  reader signs off. From Spokane Valley. Brandon
• 1:35:20
  T. Jones, Crim 2 News. Good Lord. Somebody died.
• 1:35:26
  You know what? I think we just got to get into
• 1:35:30
  this kind of vibe here. Listen to the river.
• 1:35:36
  You think I'm an ignorant savage. Because I don't
• 1:35:40
  know where the water goes. Must be so. But it's
• 1:35:45
  dry now. And the ecosystem, it's gone forever.
• 1:35:58
  It's what they should have played over that clip.
• 1:36:01
  I did a little digging and I was like, okay,
• 1:36:05
  the expert, experts, experts, that is the Idaho
• 1:36:09
  or the Spokane Riverkeeper. Who is that? Because
• 1:36:13
  of course the mainstream media doesn't tell us
• 1:36:15
  they just present this expert who's telling us
• 1:36:17
  how the river is dry the wells run dry Paw came
• 1:36:21
  down with dysentery and we're all gonna die Spokane
• 1:36:25
  Riverkeeper found it in 2009 the original structure
• 1:36:29
  was a a project, it was like a sub program of
• 1:36:33
  the Center for Justice, which was a Spokane nonprofit
• 1:36:36
  focused on legal advocacy and social and environmental
• 1:36:40
  justice. So there's some some good all the buzzwords
• 1:36:43
  for you in a strangely enough, March of 2020.
• 1:36:48
  I wonder what happened in that month. That what
• 1:36:51
  were they doing in the river in March of 2020?
• 1:36:54
  They weren't allowed to be there. The Spokane
• 1:36:57
  Riverkeeper became a separate 501c3 nonprofit
• 1:37:01
  with its own board and staff, and the original
• 1:37:05
  umbrella organization seems to have folded. So
• 1:37:09
  that parent organization that is. So it all it
• 1:37:13
  started from a law firm. We used to call those
• 1:37:18
  shell companies, Scott. That's what we used to
• 1:37:19
  call things like that. Shell companies disguised
• 1:37:24
  as nonprofits. That now it's that the Spokane
• 1:37:27
  River keeper has it seems like they have around
• 1:37:30
  I dug into like its form 990 and tried to figure
• 1:37:33
  out like how many board members where its funding
• 1:37:35
  is coming from Etc. They seem to have about 500
• 1:37:39
  K in assets or like in money in the bank They
• 1:37:43
  have a staff. It seems like about 300 something
• 1:37:46
  thousand of that goes to salaries for the people
• 1:37:50
  that like the guy you just heard and the I don't
• 1:37:54
  know if it's the majority, but it seems like
• 1:37:56
  somewhere around a couple hundred thousand dollars
• 1:37:59
  of their annual operations. But the funding comes
• 1:38:03
  from government grants. Government grants. Yeah,
• 1:38:06
  that's where all the funding for all that shit
• 1:38:08
  comes from. If you got rid of federal grants
• 1:38:10
  overnight, almost all of that, which all of these
• 1:38:13
  types of things would shrivel up and die. And
• 1:38:15
  they should. They would never exist in a free
• 1:38:19
  market where people got to actually spend their
• 1:38:23
  own money on the stuff they wanted. So that's
• 1:38:26
  what the official expert that the mainstream
• 1:38:31
  presents. And they don't mention anything about
• 1:38:33
  any of this. They just present him as the Spokane
• 1:38:36
  Riverkeeper. He is the keeper of the river. Just
• 1:38:38
  this mysterious expert, the Riverkeeper. Yeah,
• 1:38:42
  yeah. Well, very illustrative of the way things
• 1:38:45
  work. I thought so. Hold still while we keep
• 1:38:49
  your river. From all right leaking I guess down
• 1:38:54
  into the aquifer from whence it came in the first
• 1:38:56
  place. Yeah, I mean problem solved What are they
• 1:38:59
  complaining about their vote there everybody
• 1:39:00
  complains about the aquifer being lower? Well,
• 1:39:03
  there you go problem solved. Let's see. It turns
• 1:39:05
  out it's Getting filled up by the Spokane River
• 1:39:08
  now. Maybe I'm just an ignoramus I thought that
• 1:39:11
  the I thought that the Spokane River is the aquifer
• 1:39:14
  It's just a place where the aquifer is high enough
• 1:39:16
  to be visible. Am I wrong about that? I don't
• 1:39:21
  know. Okay, let's ask the robot. The Spokane
• 1:39:25
  River, is that the same thing as the Rathdrum
• 1:39:28
  Prairie Aquifer? It's just, it's a visible portion
• 1:39:31
  of it? Oh, is it a big one? No, I don't think
• 1:39:36
  so, Scott. But I do think there's a way through
• 1:39:38
  between grassroots movements, new technologies,
• 1:39:41
  and even that basic quintessential ability that
• 1:39:44
  all humans have to work together. I have faith
• 1:39:47
  that we can solve almost any problem. Did you?
• 1:39:50
  What was that? What? Turn it off, Scott. Ew.
• 1:39:55
  I don't know, but they're all part of the same
• 1:39:57
  water system, but I don't think they are the
• 1:40:00
  same thing, Scott. OK, I guess I have it wrong.
• 1:40:04
  Well, maybe you should just look it up on the
• 1:40:05
  regular Internet. Is the Spokane River the same
• 1:40:11
  thing as the Wrathrim Prairie? Well, this says
• 1:40:17
  it forms a single highly connected water system,
• 1:40:20
  duh, we know that, spanning northern Idaho and
• 1:40:23
  eastern Washington. So yeah, it's part of the
• 1:40:25
  same water system, we know that. But they are
• 1:40:27
  two separate parts of the same water system.
• 1:40:32
  Okay, yeah, so the Spokane River does provide
• 1:40:36
  a significant portion, over 40 % of the annual
• 1:40:39
  recharge of the underground aquifer. Okay. All
• 1:40:45
  right. So I had that wrong. That comes from the
• 1:40:47
  Coeur d 'Alene River, which is fed by the St.
• 1:40:50
  Joe River and, excuse me, that comes from the
• 1:40:53
  Coeur d 'Alene Lake, which is fed by the St.
• 1:40:55
  Joe River and the Coeur d 'Alene River. Yes.
• 1:40:58
  And that's runoff, right? That's the mountain
• 1:41:00
  runoff that's feeding the lake? Lots of it. Yeah.
• 1:41:05
  Yeah. Okay. Well, there you go. A hydrology lesson
• 1:41:08
  about the inland Northwest. It's not exclusively,
• 1:41:10
  but a big portion of it. Yeah. Well, so there
• 1:41:14
  you go value for value you learned so much in
• 1:41:17
  the last ten minutes And we just ask that you
• 1:41:20
  return some value if you find that to be the
• 1:41:22
  case Let's see, we got one more there has there
• 1:41:27
  was like a rash of arson stories It seems like
• 1:41:31
  all of a sudden there's like arsonists starting
• 1:41:32
  little fires everywhere in the aftermath of these
• 1:41:34
  big boys Here are two presentations to round
• 1:41:38
  out here episode number 42 of no ID this these
• 1:41:42
  are Both also from crem a lot of stuff from crem
• 1:41:45
  this week Ranchers in southern Idaho are accusing
• 1:41:48
  firefighters of arson. They say they had just
• 1:41:51
  gotten done with fighting the fires themselves
• 1:41:53
  when reports came in of US Wildland Fire Service
• 1:41:56
  crews lighting fire on private land that they
• 1:41:59
  had just worked to save. Now the Washington County
• 1:42:02
  Sheriff Matt Thomas confirmed the firefighters
• 1:42:05
  were back burning the area and ordered their
• 1:42:08
  crews to stop. Back burning is a common firefighting
• 1:42:11
  tactic, one that is meant to eliminate brush
• 1:42:13
  and fuel in the path of. an ongoing fire. However,
• 1:42:17
  rancher Kirk Chandler. But it only works if the
• 1:42:20
  other side of it is on fire. If the other side
• 1:42:23
  of it is not on fire and you just light a fire.
• 1:42:27
  All right. Chandler says that he got Chandler
• 1:42:33
  says that he got fire crews setting fire to his
• 1:42:35
  neighbor's property, which was four miles away
• 1:42:38
  from the nearest fire. The next morning to go
• 1:42:41
  up there and see all of them up there. Those
• 1:42:44
  same crews lighting fires and burning up what
• 1:42:48
  you had saved the day before is arson. It's just
• 1:42:53
  flat arson. The ranchers say they did not agree
• 1:42:56
  to the back burn and want to see someone else
• 1:42:58
  held responsible for the damages. The Tartar
• 1:43:01
  fire burned more than 158 ,000 acres. The fire
• 1:43:05
  incident command team says it has been working
• 1:43:07
  closely with local landowners and ranchers and
• 1:43:10
  said everyone shares the same goal of suppressing
• 1:43:12
  the fire as apparently not closely enough. Like
• 1:43:17
  how do you mess that one up? Hey, we're going
• 1:43:20
  to start a fire. And not tell anyone about it,
• 1:43:26
  I guess. The fire as safely and quickly as possible.
• 1:43:30
  So that like, oh, there was a, that was not a
• 1:43:33
  nap, but it was just, yeah, behind the repeater.
• 1:43:39
  Here's one more. And this one was up in Coeur
• 1:43:43
  d 'Alene. Right now, investigators are looking
• 1:43:46
  into two fires that started within a mile of
• 1:43:48
  each other in Coeur d 'Alene over the weekend.
• 1:43:49
  Grip 2's Christian Garza has been in North Idaho
• 1:43:51
  looking into this case all day. He shares what
• 1:43:54
  police know so far. All day scorched earth and
• 1:43:57
  burnt tree trunks. That's all that's left after
• 1:43:59
  this first fire broke out near North Mineral
• 1:44:02
  Drive just west of Highway 95 in Coeur d 'Alene.
• 1:44:05
  But just 20 minutes later, officials got the
• 1:44:07
  call saying that there was another fire on North
• 1:44:09
  Wheatfield Drive. Now when they arrived on scene,
• 1:44:11
  they found one house completely engulfed in flames.
• 1:44:14
  As you can see, the house is completely destroyed,
• 1:44:17
  but the flames didn't just destroy that house.
• 1:44:19
  They also crossed over and destroyed this neighbor's
• 1:44:22
  house, making it unlivable as well. There was
• 1:44:24
  a I heard a first like kind of boom and I smelled
• 1:44:27
  a little bit of smoke. North Wheatfield Drive
• 1:44:30
  is quiet today after a weekend of sirens. Honestly,
• 1:44:33
  I think we're just in utter shock. Lisa Tacho
• 1:44:35
  and her neighbors were awakened Saturday morning
• 1:44:37
  after a house right across the street from them
• 1:44:40
  caught fire, leaving one home destroyed and another
• 1:44:43
  unlivable. Yeah, this is actually our good friends.
• 1:44:46
  They just got married last Saturday. They moved
• 1:44:49
  into that home not even two months ago. The couple
• 1:44:51
  who lives here did not want to go on camera,
• 1:44:53
  but they tell me that instead of making new memories
• 1:44:55
  in this space, they now face months of uncertainty.
• 1:44:59
  But the fire that displaced them isn't the only
• 1:45:01
  fire that happened in Coeur d 'Alene over the
• 1:45:03
  weekend. Coeur d 'Alene Police Department says
• 1:45:05
  another fire started just down the road after
• 1:45:08
  investigating. Officials say this specific fire
• 1:45:10
  has been ruled as arson. As for the house fire,
• 1:45:14
  officials are continuing to investigate how it
• 1:45:16
  started, but confirmed that they believe the
• 1:45:18
  circumstances surrounding the incident are suspicious
• 1:45:21
  in nature. Tetra says the neighborhood is on
• 1:45:23
  edge given the lack of information at this point,
• 1:45:25
  but she says she's just glad that no one was
• 1:45:28
  hurt. Our mindset, you know, like this can be
• 1:45:31
  replaced. They can find a new home. We're just
• 1:45:35
  glad that our friends are OK in Coeur d 'Alene
• 1:45:37
  Christian Garza. Crime 2 news. So I don't know
• 1:45:39
  if they they spun up. Relax by Frankie Goes to
• 1:45:43
  Hollywood to activate all of these arsonists,
• 1:45:45
  but there seem to be a whole hell of a lot of
• 1:45:47
  them. Are they copycats? Is it a coincidence?
• 1:45:50
  This is just... I mean, I don't know. It's weird.
• 1:45:58
  It's weird. But I'm still thinking about the
• 1:46:03
  firefighters down south who just set new fires.
• 1:46:09
  What? it's like watching a bunch of retards trying
• 1:46:12
  to fuck a doorknob out there what do you say
• 1:46:14
  is arson it's just flat arson it's arson dude
• 1:46:18
  it's like uh it's like fahrenheit 451 where the
• 1:46:21
  firemen set the fires yeah yeah good times hey
• 1:46:26
  why are you setting my uh why are you setting
• 1:46:29
  my back 40 on fire oh we're helping we're helping
• 1:46:35
  Well firefighters do good work you guys are such
• 1:46:37
  assholes. Yeah, I know here. We are here. We
• 1:46:40
  are on episode. I can't wait for the for next
• 1:46:44
  year's fire firefighter bond and they when they
• 1:46:48
  you know float another bond next year all the
• 1:46:51
  ranchers come out and Maybe don't pass it for
• 1:46:55
  the first time ever No, man. I don't think that's
• 1:46:58
  an option Thank you for supporting this program
• 1:47:02
  We'll be back next Thursday with episode 43 of
• 1:47:06
  No ID. Please remember us value for value. No
• 1:47:08
  ID show .com. Support the things that you like
• 1:47:11
  if you wish for them to continue. And I have
• 1:47:16
  the people's tree. That's the only thing I have
• 1:47:18
  written down from for a show title from the Christmas
• 1:47:21
  tree story. Anything else jump out at you? Yeah,
• 1:47:23
  I like it. All right. Nothing in particular.
• 1:47:25
  Nothing in particular or Anthony Goldsmith Fauci
• 1:47:29
  burger. Oh, just because he's a doctor and he's
• 1:47:33
  nebushy, he's got to be a Jew. Is that it? All
• 1:47:38
  right. I specifically chose a Hebrew as my podcast
• 1:47:42
  partner because I hate them so much. They control
• 1:47:45
  everything, man. So you have this media product
• 1:47:47
  is hosted by a Jew. What a coincidence. Well,
• 1:47:50
  I can't beat them. Join them until the next one.
• 1:47:53
  Also going to be hosted by a Jew in a WAP from
