• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Why hello. Welcome back.
• 0:28
  It's No ID. North Idaho's mainstream narrative
• 0:31
  deconstruction. I'm Scott. Hello, Internet. I'm
• 0:35
  Paul. Welcome back. Welcome back. It's good to
• 0:39
  be here. It's always good to be here Scott. How
• 0:41
  are you buddy? I am good Maybe slightly better
• 0:46
  than you, you know being a results oriented individual
• 0:49
  that I am I by that measure I'm literally better.
• 0:57
  Oh Man yeah for now for now, but the tide can
• 1:02
  turn my friend of course it can besides I'll
• 1:04
  tell you what It was high time that you won a
• 1:07
  couple of hands between Jason and I, because
• 1:09
  Jason and I realized the first two times that
• 1:13
  the three of us were together, you didn't really
• 1:15
  have a great run of it. And not necessarily through
• 1:18
  any fault of your own, but we were feeling that
• 1:20
  at some point, if you didn't walk away up from
• 1:24
  a poker night with us, we probably weren't going
• 1:25
  to see much of you anymore. Yes, we we played
• 1:30
  some cards at a friend's house the over the weekend
• 1:34
  in Washington in Washington not in Idaho Yes,
• 1:37
  it was in Washington. We all know it was legal
• 1:39
  is illegal in Idaho. We would never ever break
• 1:41
  the law ever We're law -abiding citizens Because
• 1:46
  legality equates to morality as we all know so
• 1:49
  you even so much as jaywalk. You are a bad person
• 1:54
  We that escalated quickly You've played with
• 1:58
  this, we were playing a short -handed game and
• 2:01
  you're much more familiar with the other players
• 2:04
  than I am. But yeah, we basically spent our pre
• 2:08
  -show show, which we normally just do this show
• 2:10
  where we talk about Idaho and mainstream narratives.
• 2:13
  This time we actually just talked poker. That
• 2:15
  was refreshing. Yeah, for half an hour and then
• 2:18
  we were like, I guess we should probably get
• 2:20
  to work. It was fun. And the thing is, I'm not.
• 2:23
  Well, it's actually really fun. I'll admit. Sorry,
• 2:26
  I'm interrupting. I apologize. Do not interrupt
• 2:28
  me. I'll admit that. Do not interrupt me. Got
• 2:31
  some new drops. They're so timely and relevant.
• 2:37
  Go on. And also a little hurtful. Now I don't
• 2:40
  want to. Well, I was going to say that I don't
• 2:43
  have. I'm scared. An issue with, you know, whatever,
• 2:47
  a couple of losing sessions. I and you and the
• 2:50
  people. slash person we're playing with are all
• 2:53
  actual card players. We don't think about poker
• 2:55
  the way that most people think about it, which
• 2:58
  is they get their panties in a wad about 20 bucks.
• 3:00
  I couldn't care less. Life is one big long session.
• 3:04
  So I could have had 10 losing sessions in a row
• 3:06
  against you guys. It don't make no nevermind
• 3:07
  to me. I'd have been right back there for the
• 3:09
  11th. Hell yeah. That's one of the reasons why
• 3:13
  we're friends. It is actually really refreshing
• 3:15
  to use your word to have run into another person
• 3:19
  who loves the game the way that I love the game
• 3:21
  and the way our mutual friend Jason loves the
• 3:23
  game because for the longest time it was just
• 3:25
  Jason and I and so our options were we play heads
• 3:29
  up which is okay once in a while but I'm not
• 3:32
  a big fan of heads up and frankly taking your
• 3:34
  friend's money and only your friend's money or
• 3:36
  vice versa all the time that it's sort of like
• 3:40
  how they measure GDP you know you buy you buy
• 3:44
  something for a hundred bucks from your friend
• 3:45
  And then a day later, he buys something from
• 3:48
  you for a hundred bucks. And then they measure
• 3:50
  that as $200 worth of GDP. Commerce out of the
• 3:54
  same bullshit. So it's nice to add somebody else
• 3:57
  to the mix, but also somebody who loves the game
• 3:59
  at the level we do. So yeah, talking poker with
• 4:02
  you for the last 30 minutes was really nice.
• 4:05
  I got to have a joke. Yeah, and then we were
• 4:07
  then we were I was trying to cue up this little
• 4:09
  poker rap from the heyday from the poker boom
• 4:12
  from the mid -2000s where it was all over ESPN
• 4:16
  after Chris Moneymaker won the main event and
• 4:18
  With a guy with a name like that. That's his
• 4:20
  real name who won the 2003 main event in Vegas
• 4:23
  and sort of set off that mid -2000s You may recall
• 4:26
  you not only does anybody call us an adult then
• 4:30
  remember that they were, you know, like everybody
• 4:33
  was sort of playing and home games were really,
• 4:36
  were just everywhere at that time. But if you
• 4:37
  go back, like my wife watches, you know, old
• 4:40
  CSI's or old this or that, like shows that were
• 4:43
  on in that era, they were all over those shows
• 4:46
  too. It was like every other scene, there was
• 4:47
  a poker game. Like you could just see how pervasive
• 4:51
  and popular it really became during that time.
• 4:52
  And I want to say it was because Rounders came
• 4:55
  out that time too. Rounders was before, Rounders
• 4:58
  was 98. This is from the 2006 main event on ESPN.
• 5:07
  ProLod Freeman's rap. I'll never forget it. This
• 5:40
  was on ESPN. It sounds like a horrible amateur
• 5:44
  TikTok video. This was on national television
• 5:46
  and they replayed it over and over and over and
• 5:49
  over in that era. Good times. I don't think ESPN
• 5:52
  has ever been better in that moment. Oh, that
• 5:55
  was his peak without question. Yep. It was all
• 5:58
  downhill from there for ESPN. They knew it too.
• 6:00
  They were like, all right, more NBA games now,
• 6:03
  less poker. So speaking of it being it being
• 6:08
  over and being on the downhill, here's a follow
• 6:10
  up from Paul's best friend, Ryan McClintock.
• 6:13
  Well, Ryan McClintock is accused of making threats
• 6:16
  against law enforcement and smashing windows
• 6:18
  at the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office with
• 6:20
  a bat. Now we're seeing that moment that it happened
• 6:23
  with newly released security video. Today I received
• 6:27
  a public records request back from the Kootenai
• 6:30
  County Sheriff's Office for surveillance video
• 6:32
  from the night. of April 4th. The security video
• 6:36
  shows the entrance to what is now the county
• 6:38
  jail administrative office. Court documents say
• 6:41
  McClintock allegedly posted threats on social
• 6:44
  media calling for a show of force. Here's a classic
• 6:47
  mainstream media thing where they're like, court
• 6:50
  documents show that he allegedly posted threats.
• 6:52
  You can just go on the internet and look. He
• 6:54
  didn't allegedly post threats. He just posted
• 6:57
  threats. Why do they say that? Because they're
• 7:03
  them. That's what they do. Mystery solved. Wow.
• 7:06
  We don't even need to do the podcast anymore.
• 7:08
  Show over. Put us out of a job. I guess. All
• 7:11
  right. Well. Well, my work here is done. Let's
• 7:14
  go play some poker. It's been a pleasure. Yeah.
• 7:17
  Well, OK. The the the camera shows. I'm like
• 7:21
  Pavlov's dog. You played that. You played that
• 7:23
  sound drop and all of a sudden like, oh shit,
• 7:24
  is it really over? I got to pee. I'm going to
• 7:27
  make some coffee. If you didn't see it like I
• 7:30
  think we described in initially he has over your
• 7:32
  headphones on Where he's he surely was listening
• 7:35
  to like effing hostile by Pantera or something
• 7:38
  thereabouts And he goes up to the front door
• 7:41
  and he he actually attempts to open the front
• 7:43
  door He just pulls on it, but it's locked and
• 7:46
  then so he's like, well, okay And then he busts
• 7:49
  out the bat and just starts wailing on the windows.
• 7:51
  The guy did just try to enter the building So
• 7:53
  one wonders was he gonna take a bat? to the deputies
• 7:57
  he found inside. I mean, that was that sounds
• 7:59
  like that was probably his plan. Well, I think
• 8:03
  it's fair to say he didn't really think it through.
• 8:07
  So once he got in there, he probably didn't know
• 8:10
  what he was going to do after that. Of course,
• 8:12
  not to get too dark about it, but there's a real
• 8:14
  possibility that this dude was maybe going to
• 8:19
  try the whole suicide by cop route. You never
• 8:21
  know. I mean, guys like that who are super unstable.
• 8:24
  Maybe in his mind he's like, all right, this
• 8:26
  is gonna go one of two ways either I'm gonna
• 8:27
  kick the shit out us out of the popo and they're
• 8:29
  gonna get what's coming to them or They're gonna
• 8:33
  take care of me and I don't have to hurt anymore
• 8:36
  You never know though with guy like it's things
• 8:39
  that don't make sense and never will on social
• 8:41
  media calling for a show of force against law
• 8:44
  enforcement before smashing several windows.
• 8:47
  Police arrested him outside the building without
• 8:50
  incident. Now police say the suspect admitted
• 8:53
  he wanted to incite fear and prove a point about
• 8:55
  what he believed was a local law enforcement
• 8:58
  cover -up. Now court documents say McClintock
• 9:01
  believed two local church pastors were pedophiles
• 9:04
  and that Sheriff Bob Norris was protecting them
• 9:06
  from prosecution. Damage to the sheriff's office
• 9:09
  windows was reported. reported at more than $1
• 9:11
  ,000. And tonight they remain taped up, still
• 9:14
  awaiting those repairs. Now a judge is a total
• 9:18
  rounding error, by the way, $1 ,000. It's $1
• 9:21
  ,000 is what it costs to put, you know, like
• 9:23
  10 guys in prison for one night over there. It's,
• 9:27
  it's a rounding error. It's so funny. It's really
• 9:29
  funny when you hear the mainstream media talk
• 9:32
  about money, they'll talk about a hundred million
• 9:34
  dollars for the Idaho budget. Like it's a rounding
• 9:36
  error because it is And these cuts are killing
• 9:40
  people. How could we possibly cut one percent
• 9:42
  from this budget? Oh, you know, it's only a hundred
• 9:45
  million or whatever. But then a thousand dollars
• 9:48
  when it's the local sheriff's office is all of
• 9:50
  a sudden big money, big money. I mean, these
• 9:53
  cuts are killing people. Now, a judge ordered
• 9:56
  a mental evaluation to determine if the suspect
• 10:00
  is competent to stand trial. His next court hearing,
• 10:03
  though, has not yet been scheduled. What do you
• 10:06
  think the betting line? On that verdict is, I
• 10:09
  would say three to one odds that they find him
• 10:14
  sane, but I would lay five to one odds that he
• 10:18
  is actually not. Sounds about right. Also, when
• 10:22
  you were wondering what he was listening to when
• 10:24
  he was smashing windows, I know what he was listening
• 10:27
  to. Chumbawumba. I'd knock out the windows. Can't
• 10:41
  mess with the classic. We didn't know what we
• 10:44
  had in the 90s. Oh man, I remember Chumbawumba
• 10:48
  coming on Love Line back then when that song
• 10:51
  was, you know, just at its zenith. And they were
• 10:54
  like, oh, and they were super arrogant Brits.
• 10:58
  And looking back, they were probably in their
• 10:59
  mid -early 20s. And these, you know, these just
• 11:02
  like, you know, it had all gone straight to their
• 11:05
  head. And they were just like, they were too
• 11:07
  cool for school. And they were just like... You
• 11:09
  know, they were like leaning back on their chairs
• 11:11
  five feet away from the mic and they were just
• 11:12
  like rocket ship to the moon, baby. You know,
• 11:15
  this is where we're just blasting on the scene
• 11:17
  and wait till they were going to be where the
• 11:19
  next Beatles basically were Chumbawumba. Just
• 11:21
  wait. I don't think anybody I don't think anybody
• 11:25
  knows any other song from them. It was tub thumping
• 11:28
  and then it was bye bye. And it was it's like
• 11:30
  I think it's routinely makes like the top five
• 11:33
  list, you know, behind Macarena and a few others
• 11:36
  for biggest one hit wonders ever. They got something.
• 11:41
  They got that going for him, you know? Oh, yeah.
• 11:43
  Oh, hey, I'm a no hit wonder. So, you know, that's
• 11:45
  one ahead of me. That's for sure. Yet. So far.
• 11:48
  So far. Don't be so hard on yourself, Scott.
• 11:50
  You've got time. You've got time. Well, McClintock
• 11:54
  is, you know, he'll have lots of time. Yeah,
• 11:57
  he's going to have a ton of time. Think about
• 11:59
  his. So it's really it's interesting to hear
• 12:02
  again how this is being reported. Everything
• 12:04
  is so incendiary is not the right word, but sensationalist.
• 12:07
  The language that is being used for for this
• 12:10
  Wild attack on the sheriff's department. It feels
• 12:15
  so overinflated and sensationalists, uh, you
• 12:18
  know, attack, attack and violence and threats
• 12:23
  and all the different words they use. I mean,
• 12:26
  really, you just have a dude who had a little
• 12:29
  bit of a social media presence who you who smashed
• 12:32
  some windows with the bat. It just happened to
• 12:33
  be cop windows. If he'd smashed anybody else's
• 12:36
  windows, nobody would care as much. Yeah. If
• 12:39
  it was, if it was the mall down the street or
• 12:42
  if it was a private residence, it'd be like,
• 12:44
  ho hum. There'd be no, there'd be no audio to
• 12:46
  play on the show because nobody would have made
• 12:48
  any note of it. Correct. The fact that he went
• 12:51
  after, uh, that he smashed the Cooney County
• 12:54
  sheriff windows. Now it's big, big news. And
• 12:56
  I think this, this really does say a lot. It's
• 13:00
  an institution. You know, one of the things I
• 13:01
  always say is or ask maybe should is what I do
• 13:05
  is like how, how, what is one of the best ways
• 13:07
  to identify a cult? There's hallmarks, there's
• 13:11
  markers for how you identify a cult. Acoustic
• 13:12
  guitars and underage runaways. Usually beads
• 13:17
  and barefoot stuff too, but beards. Oh man, a
• 13:22
  lot of people are in trouble with that one. You're
• 13:26
  not allowed to criticize cults. You're not allowed
• 13:29
  to do anything that would be perceived as a threat
• 13:32
  towards the cult. I mean, really, we're talking
• 13:35
  just vandalism and property damage. That's really
• 13:37
  all this is. If it had been against anybody else,
• 13:39
  a private citizen or a private business or whatever,
• 13:42
  nobody would care. But if it had been against
• 13:45
  the city council building, basically any government
• 13:47
  building, the temples of the state, in this case,
• 13:51
  the temples and the agents of the state, well,
• 13:54
  holy shit, stop the presses. This is big news
• 13:57
  that keeps on newsing. Well, the proprietor or
• 14:01
  thinking about the proprietor, the owner would
• 14:03
  certainly. It would be like if somebody went
• 14:06
  to open my front door, but it was locked and
• 14:08
  then they whipped out a bat and started busting
• 14:10
  the windows. I mean, I would, that would to,
• 14:12
  to the owner, to me, it would feel like a lot
• 14:14
  more than property damage. It would feel like
• 14:18
  I was a dead bolt away from just having my skull
• 14:21
  caved in, you know? So I understand that it's
• 14:23
  like, it's probably more than just that charge,
• 14:26
  even though that's all that was the result. You
• 14:29
  know, I don't, I'm not discounting your overarching
• 14:31
  point of what you just said, but in, in, you
• 14:33
  know, in this case, I'm thinking about how I
• 14:34
  would react if I was on the other side of that
• 14:36
  door. Yeah, you're not wrong. I mean, we would,
• 14:39
  we would, it would feel like a violation. It
• 14:41
  would feel like a threat. It would feel like
• 14:43
  potential violence is about to happen to us.
• 14:45
  And it would feel like a violation just in the
• 14:47
  same way that when some somebody robs you or
• 14:49
  stolen or, or when the state, uh, executes a
• 14:54
  search warrant and basically tosses your place
• 14:56
  and takes a bunch of shit weird it's so weird
• 14:58
  because that's also like a robbery and it feels
• 15:00
  like a violation they leave and you're just like
• 15:02
  oh my god i've been violated um so you're not
• 15:05
  wrong as far as that goes but my point is simply
• 15:08
  the amount of noise being made about it based
• 15:12
  on who is the quote unquote victim in this case
• 15:15
  it's it's the thin blue line it's the institution
• 15:18
  of the state it's their agents the It is one
• 15:21
  of the institutions that right or left, it seems
• 15:24
  you are not allowed to ever criticize or make
• 15:27
  any sort of overture towards the state. That's
• 15:30
  my main point. The state. I also, I think it's
• 15:34
  worth noting when they actually get a taste of
• 15:36
  their own medicine, kind of in a roundabout way
• 15:38
  where they get to feel a little bit of unease,
• 15:40
  you know, boy, do they not like it. I think it's
• 15:43
  worth noting a couple of things about this. For
• 15:45
  one, this, this particular video. where a lot
• 15:49
  of them just have like, you know, when I'm pulling
• 15:51
  from mainstream network affiliate YouTube channels,
• 15:55
  a lot of the videos just have like, you know,
• 15:57
  a handful of views, a couple of comments. Some
• 15:59
  get more traction if they're more like a sensationalist
• 16:02
  or click -patey or whatever. In this case, even
• 16:04
  though it's local and it's not... It's not any
• 16:08
  trans. I need these other things that sort of
• 16:10
  get these get these clicks This one had a lot
• 16:12
  of views and and a lot of comments maybe over
• 16:15
  a hundred and it was a lot of people going like
• 16:18
  well Does anyone want to hear what McClintock
• 16:20
  had to say like is maybe he onto something, you
• 16:22
  know, like You know, what about the people who
• 16:25
  he's accusing of being a PDF files, etc. Etc
• 16:29
  a lot of those comments were on this video I
• 16:31
  thought that was interesting and if if you really
• 16:34
  wanted I saw some of that as well. You're not
• 16:35
  wrong If you wanted sensationalist mainstream
• 16:38
  media, which of course it seems like they do,
• 16:41
  but they only want it in select circumstances,
• 16:43
  because the most sensationalist thing you could
• 16:45
  do is to actually be a reporter and go investigate
• 16:49
  the claims, like McLintock's claims. What's he
• 16:52
  saying? That would be sensationalistic. But I
• 16:55
  haven't seen, mostly because they're not reporters,
• 16:58
  these people are news readers. Journalism, as
• 17:02
  we think we know it, has long died. Journalism
• 17:06
  I mean, they even have a term for it. Now they
• 17:08
  call it an investigative journalism. So there's
• 17:10
  reporting, there's journalism and there's investigative
• 17:12
  journalism. There's not a whole lot of investigative
• 17:15
  journalists around and most of them have an agenda
• 17:19
  just like everybody else. But not that long ago
• 17:22
  to be a news reader, reporter, journalist, whatever
• 17:26
  you want to call it, did meant you did some of
• 17:29
  your own legwork. But I'll tell you what, though,
• 17:33
  there is hope, Scott, because as we've seen in
• 17:35
  Minnesota, Uh, those investigative journalists
• 17:38
  who made a single phone call to the daycares
• 17:40
  to ask them if they were committing fraud. No,
• 17:43
  that's the gold standard, baby. Gold standard.
• 17:46
  Are you guys, uh, are you guys crime in over
• 17:48
  there? Uh, no, no, nothing to see here. Oh, all
• 17:53
  right. Cool. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks for taking
• 17:55
  my call. My work is done. We've investigated
• 17:59
  and found no fraud. Yeah. Uh, To your other point,
• 18:05
  though, it was interesting. I did also because
• 18:08
  I troll the social medias, mainly the book of
• 18:11
  faces. And I saw that the responses to the story
• 18:15
  were a bit more varied than I had expected. I
• 18:18
  did expect a whole lot of, you know, fry him.
• 18:22
  How dare he attack my cops? I expected a lot
• 18:25
  more of that. And instead, it was only about
• 18:26
  50 percent. The whole other 50 percent was kind
• 18:29
  of like, oh, we're kind of curious about what's
• 18:32
  the story here. Right. So, yeah. That was interesting.
• 18:35
  And you're not wrong. We'll see how it develops.
• 18:39
  Hey, any of you produce executive producers of
• 18:41
  any of you guys get the dish on this sort of
• 18:44
  thing before we do, please send it our way. Stories
• 18:47
  like this, even though they're kind of niche
• 18:49
  and they're funky, they're kind of our bread
• 18:52
  and butter and they're in some ways, I think
• 18:55
  stories like this are the most illustrative of
• 18:58
  what's going on around here. Well, here is another
• 19:03
  illustrative what's going on around here. sensationalist
• 19:08
  baloney from the Coeur d 'Alene City Council.
• 19:11
  The mayor is now calling for the city attorney
• 19:13
  to resign. It comes after a fiery debate this
• 19:16
  week between the two over how the city selected
• 19:18
  its new police chief. This is 10 years of documentation
• 19:25
  of city attorneys attacking our police chief.
• 19:30
  That accusation from Co Dan Gook in Tuesday is
• 19:33
  an e says has plagued the city that I've observed
• 19:39
  over that time of disrespect toward our police
• 19:43
  department. Just I think the undermining of my
• 19:45
  authority to make the appointment and then the
• 19:48
  surprise announcement was part of this ongoing
• 19:52
  effort to embarrass our police department. This
• 19:54
  after council voted to approve Greg Yeager's
• 19:57
  the new police chief. The mayor supported the
• 19:59
  other candidate and believed he had the legal
• 20:01
  authority to appoint the chief. But now he's
• 20:04
  asking the city attorney to step down. I wanted
• 20:06
  to let known that this is someone who has lost
• 20:09
  my confidence that is definitely I think undermined.
• 20:12
  an elected official city attorney randy adams
• 20:15
  was not available for an interview but provided
• 20:17
  a statement saying he won't resign and appreciates
• 20:20
  the support he's received from former mayors
• 20:22
  and current city officials and in part the mayor's
• 20:25
  comments were a complete surprise to me i don't
• 20:27
  have any bias against him and give him the same
• 20:30
  opinion i would have given to any mayor or council
• 20:32
  member who asked me the same question my client
• 20:35
  is the city of cortland i would have given him
• 20:37
  the same shitty opinion i would have given everybody
• 20:39
  else So here's the, I actually went and found
• 20:43
  it wasn't, wasn't hard, but I went and found
• 20:45
  the actual just source audio from the meeting
• 20:48
  and the, I didn't see any of the mainstream reports
• 20:53
  actually playing any of the more petulant moments
• 20:56
  from the exchange, but it's, it's pretty good.
• 20:58
  It's a little long, but it's, it's worth it because
• 21:00
  you get to hear the fifth graders masquerading
• 21:03
  a city council members having their ridiculous
• 21:06
  exchanges in these official chambers. Yeah. Okay.
• 21:09
  Before you start this clip, I'm just going to
• 21:11
  preface it with something I think most of us
• 21:13
  probably already know, but we really ought to
• 21:14
  hear again and again and again. I haven't heard
• 21:16
  this audio yet, but I already have an idea of
• 21:18
  what it's going to be like. Cause whether, whether
• 21:21
  whatever council, whatever commission, it's always
• 21:23
  the same people are people everywhere you go.
• 21:25
  The people who rule us are glorious Chalupa supremely
• 21:29
  earlier leaders. They are all basically children
• 21:31
  for the most part. So like, I can't wait to hear
• 21:33
  this, but like, this is the norm. This is a feature,
• 21:36
  not a bug, what we're going to hear. opinion
• 21:38
  of the legal department of the city of Coeur
• 21:40
  d 'Alene that a police chief cannot be appointed
• 21:45
  by the mayor. This is the city attorney. And
• 21:48
  such an appointment would be a violation of the
• 21:50
  city's own adopted policy. And also that the
• 21:55
  method... Okay, hold on. Pause it real fast,
• 21:57
  Scott. So, just for, again, for context, what's
• 22:01
  going on here is Guggen, freshly made mayor of
• 22:05
  the city of Coeur d 'Alene, is... trying to appoint
• 22:09
  the new city police chief. And much to his surprise
• 22:14
  and chagrin, he is experiencing significant pushback,
• 22:19
  but it's not just from the city attorney. Four
• 22:22
  other members of the city council voted against
• 22:26
  Guggen's pick for Coeur d 'Alene city police
• 22:29
  chief. So in Dan Guggen's own mind, who hasn't
• 22:34
  really experienced this sort of thing yet, cause
• 22:36
  he's been, he's been the golden boy. This is
• 22:39
  a coup in his mind and he's blaming the city
• 22:41
  attorney for bringing up statutes that the city
• 22:43
  attorney didn't write they just exist But the
• 22:46
  city attorney is like so hey Dan You thought
• 22:50
  you could do this, but it turns out the law here
• 22:54
  says you can't You're a pussy the City Council
• 22:57
  is like yeah And also we don't want this guy.
• 23:01
  We want this guy now We're talking about shades
• 23:04
  of shit. Anyways, both of the picks that the
• 23:06
  City Council and Dan gookin of Take a look at,
• 23:08
  they all, they all suck. One of them's out of
• 23:09
  like Denver, California. So you know what you're
• 23:11
  going to get there. Did you just say Denver,
• 23:13
  California? Denver, California. Go on. I said
• 23:22
  what I said. Is that it? Okay. That the method
• 23:24
  of appointing a department head is not supported
• 23:27
  by state law. And so Dan Guga is like, I don't
• 23:32
  care about that. Here is what goes on in the
• 23:35
  city of Coeur d 'Alene. You have an unelected
• 23:38
  city attorney. who butts heads with the mayor.
• 23:42
  And that's... Wait, wait, stop it. You got to
• 23:43
  pause it. You have an unelected city attorney
• 23:46
  who, by the way, also gets his... His contract
• 23:49
  comes from the city council and whatnot, so they
• 23:51
  could do something about that if they wanted
• 23:53
  to. An unelected bureaucrat telling a mayor that
• 23:57
  he doesn't get to simply appoint the city chief.
• 24:03
  Just simmer on that one for a minute. And that's
• 24:06
  this whole story with the police department...
• 24:09
  city attorneys see he didn't give me advice he
• 24:13
  vetoed me and he doesn't have that authority
• 24:16
  in statute I have the authority by statute to
• 24:20
  make an appointment he's using I'm the decider
• 24:22
  here a personnel rule to tell me that I lack
• 24:27
  authority he's not backing me up and in fact
• 24:30
  I have hired private counsel because I've lost
• 24:35
  his faith I have no faith in the city attorney,
• 24:38
  not to advise me as the mayor. I believe he tilts
• 24:43
  the table. This is ten years of documentation
• 24:49
  of city attorneys attacking our police chief.
• 24:55
  Oh, no! That's what happens in this city. How
• 24:58
  do you know something is a cult, Scott? Acoustic
• 25:01
  guitars and underage runaways? And badges. And
• 25:05
  that's what this vote is really all about. It
• 25:08
  is about a power play in City Hall by unelected
• 25:13
  officials Who want to overturn your choice? Well,
• 25:19
  I am the mayor what it's and I have a buddy.
• 25:22
  Oh my god, but it's in the state code Like the
• 25:27
  city attorney is just going it this law This
• 25:29
  is a law that exists and you can't do it this
• 25:32
  way and Dan Guggen's like I'm in charge here
• 25:35
  I am the mayor I pick the police chief How dare
• 25:39
  you, unelected bureaucrat, tell me that I can't
• 25:45
  appoint, in an unelected way, the police chief.
• 25:49
  I am the mayor. Here's what's amazing too. Let's
• 25:52
  not forget. I am the mayor. I am the mayor. Let's
• 25:57
  not forget that I'd like to just quickly remind
• 26:03
  you of the stats from the November 2025 election.
• 26:08
  where Dan Gukin was elected the mayor of Coeur
• 26:10
  d 'Alene, where he's like, hey, remember, I'm
• 26:12
  your choice, not this elected, unelected bureaucrat.
• 26:16
  The official vote count for Dan Gukin was 3 ,265
• 26:21
  votes. He got 34 % of the vote against versus
• 26:25
  Debbie Loughman, Woody McEvers, and John Pulsifer.
• 26:27
  There were 9 ,618 total ballots cast for mayor.
• 26:32
  The city of like 60 ,000 people. Yes, Kootenay
• 26:35
  County's registered voters is over almost a hundred
• 26:38
  eight thousand and the overall turnout was twenty
• 26:41
  eight point four percent. In other words, for
• 26:44
  the city of Coeur d 'Alene that elects the mayor,
• 26:47
  which was Dan Gouken, it's even less than that.
• 26:48
  It is much smaller. Yes. And of the one in four
• 26:54
  roughly people who actually voted, only one in
• 26:58
  three of those voted for Gouken. So what is that?
• 27:02
  Like one seventh, one eighth. Let's not. I mean,
• 27:05
  that's if the proportions are exactly identical,
• 27:07
  but they're not. So it's probably more like one
• 27:09
  in nine. So one ninth. Even that's probably being
• 27:14
  charitable of people in Kootenai County. No,
• 27:17
  one ninth of registered voters, not even the
• 27:19
  population, because the population in Kootenai
• 27:21
  County is close to a quarter of a million now.
• 27:23
  Registered voters is somewhere in the 140, 160
• 27:26
  range. I think maybe 120. You said you said 120.
• 27:29
  According to the ultra net. Yeah, it's like 120
• 27:31
  registered voters in Kootenai. It says 100, 108.
• 27:35
  It says registered voters. 108. Okay. In a county
• 27:38
  that has, it's pushing the quarter of a million,
• 27:40
  I think at this point. Um, so wow. Okay. Yeah.
• 27:46
  Pretty impressive stuff. I am the mayor. I'm
• 27:48
  the mayor. I am the mayor. I didn't, I don't
• 27:51
  You know, I know you don't, you don't have to
• 27:53
  win. Oh, I'm on it, buddy. Don't worry. Don't
• 27:57
  you worry your pretty little head. I've got plenty
• 27:59
  of new gook stuff out of this. By the end of
• 28:02
  today, we are going to be googly for gooking.
• 28:05
  You don't have to win a majority or anything
• 28:08
  like that. Like in order to win an election,
• 28:09
  you just have to win the election as the election
• 28:11
  is structured. So he won the mayor election.
• 28:13
  We understand that. All I'm saying, all we're
• 28:16
  saying is the notion of being like, well, hey,
• 28:18
  man, I'm the public's choice. Like, yeah, while
• 28:21
  you did win the election, I'm not really sure
• 28:24
  you can claim that, like, where everyone's behind
• 28:26
  you, you know? I have a mandate. Three thousand
• 28:30
  people voted for me. All right. Let's keep going
• 28:32
  here. And almost all of them live within three
• 28:35
  city blocks downtown. Oh, my gosh. I am the mayor.
• 28:38
  This is when Dan Guggen at the next interview.
• 28:42
  It's going to go like this with whoever is the
• 28:44
  next city attorney or maybe the police chief
• 28:46
  or maybe the mayor. Either way, I just envision
• 28:48
  all three of those involved in this sort of situation.
• 28:51
  What would you say you do here? Right. I'm a
• 28:56
  people person. I pick the police chief to be
• 28:59
  good for the people. I have people skills. I
• 29:02
  am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand
• 29:05
  that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
• 29:08
  I am the mayor. And I have authority to make
• 29:12
  this appointment. And it is my opinion that the
• 29:16
  city attorney and others have poisoned this council
• 29:20
  and biased them against me and against the police
• 29:25
  chief. Which is so great. That's so great. You
• 29:29
  want to know why. And I know this is pretty heavy
• 29:31
  duty. But I am tired of this shit. I'm tired
• 29:36
  of having a city attorney who doesn't tell me
• 29:39
  what the law is. who tells me his opinion that's
• 29:43
  biased, that he tilts the table. Mr. Mayor, I
• 29:47
  told you what the law says. I am giving you my
• 29:51
  opinion. Please don't interrupt me. Do not interrupt
• 29:53
  me. Do not interrupt me. I'm speaking. Don't
• 29:56
  interrupt the king. Remember, this is the same
• 29:58
  thing that went on with the Kootenai County commissioners
• 30:00
  where, you know, like Bella Kovacs was like,
• 30:03
  yes, excuse me. Who's this on the line? This
• 30:05
  is Bella Kovacs. You totally knew I was calling
• 30:07
  in. It's on the minutes. I'm the assessor and
• 30:09
  we planned this phone call. You wanted me to.
• 30:15
  Oh, yeah, that's a good callback, too. That is
• 30:17
  I forgot about that. They they bring Bella Kovacs
• 30:21
  to them. They're like, you got to come talk to
• 30:23
  us. And then he does. And they're like, who are
• 30:25
  you? Who's this? What the fuck are you talking
• 30:27
  about? I am the county assessor. Oh, my God,
• 30:33
  dude. Here's our supreme leader. Wait, Gukin's
• 30:36
  only been mayor for like what? November of 20
• 30:41
  months. Yeah. 25. I think the election was in
• 30:44
  2025. It was. Yeah. So what? He's been mayor
• 30:48
  for like five months. Yeah. Boy. That escalated
• 30:52
  quickly. I mean that really got out of hand fast.
• 30:57
  I am the mayor. Do not accuse me of doing something
• 31:03
  unethical. Why are you pissing on me? Why do
• 31:08
  you do this? I am not pissing on you. I am giving
• 31:11
  you what? You are not telling him when I asked
• 31:16
  you last Thursday when this when this agenda
• 31:19
  was approved I said do you have an issue with
• 31:22
  this item and you said you did not that's in
• 31:24
  the minutes Why didn't you bring it up then I
• 31:29
  had given you my opinion. I did not want to Yeah,
• 31:33
  that was if I was wondering what that is listen,
• 31:34
  why didn't you bring it up then? Yeah, who's
• 31:36
  somebody's munching on popcorn? Maybe maybe all
• 31:39
  the gallery a good show requires popcorn I had
• 31:44
  given you immediately conjured up the gif of
• 31:46
  Michael Jackson eating popcorn at the movies
• 31:48
  just now. He's like, yeah I did not want to embarrass
• 31:51
  you in front of other people. So you're gonna
• 31:53
  embarrass me in a council meeting? So you're
• 31:55
  gonna do it in front of the council? Apparently
• 31:57
  so. You may, you decided to continue with the
• 32:00
  motion despite legal counsel's decision. This
• 32:03
  is the shit. You guys see the shit that's going
• 32:04
  on right now? You see the pushback from the city
• 32:07
  attorney? You wonder who's been poisoned up here?
• 32:10
  Who's been told not to talk to the police association?
• 32:13
  Not to talk to the interim chief? Who's been
• 32:16
  told to ignore things? This is what's going on
• 32:19
  in this city. And I'm trying to fix it. Speaking
• 32:22
  of shit, Guggen is losing his. He's over here
• 32:25
  just like, I hope you flip your bike over and
• 32:27
  knock your two front teeth out. But I'm getting
• 32:29
  pushback. I have a legal right to make this appointment.
• 32:33
  And if you don't like it, you can sue me. Excuse
• 32:35
  me, Mr. Mayor. What? I respectfully ask that
• 32:42
  we return to some decorum and respect for one
• 32:44
  another. We're here to do business tonight. We
• 32:47
  have an audience full of community members and
• 32:50
  teammates. And I respectfully ask that we try
• 32:54
  to control ourselves and conduct business that's
• 32:57
  best for our citizens. OK, pause it. Pause it,
• 33:00
  please. All right, three things. At least three,
• 33:03
  I think, off the top of my head. Real quick,
• 33:04
  I got to unpack. Number one, Dan Gukin was everybody's
• 33:09
  golden boy down there. He had the support of
• 33:12
  everybody down there, the entire establishment
• 33:14
  almost. Maybe with the exception of like one
• 33:18
  council member down there He was the guy everybody
• 33:21
  wanted so either he's just absolutely lost his
• 33:25
  mind and because he's not getting his way here
• 33:27
  He thinks they're poisoned against him or they
• 33:30
  really did just flip that fast Which would be
• 33:32
  pretty wild to go from a lifelong support of
• 33:35
  this guy because Dan Guggen has been the golden
• 33:37
  boy in Coeur d 'Alene forever So all of a sudden
• 33:41
  either everybody changed their minds or gookin
• 33:43
  is just showing what we already knew to be true
• 33:46
  and that he's Not exactly the most stable guy
• 33:49
  number two is I mean, this is this is just Starting
• 33:54
  to heat up here. He's this is maybe the first
• 33:57
  time he's experienced any kind of real pushback
• 34:00
  Yeah, and if this is how it goes when he experiences
• 34:02
  any real pushback Look out number three is that
• 34:06
  as far as I can tell? what now he may not like
• 34:09
  the way the city attorney went about it and that's
• 34:11
  a legitimate gripe and Those bastards play dirty.
• 34:14
  I don't care what anybody says they're unethical
• 34:16
  and they play dirty. Well, they're immoral They
• 34:19
  may not be unethical, but they're definitely
• 34:20
  immoral and they play dirty But as far as we
• 34:24
  could tell the city attorney whose name just
• 34:27
  now escaped me already It sounds like he's just
• 34:29
  reading off state statutes. Just like this. This
• 34:33
  is what it says dude and Dukukin's I guess pretty
• 34:36
  upset about it Randy Adams is his name, the city
• 34:40
  attorney. Randy Adams, he sounds like the kid
• 34:43
  picked last for T -ball. Oh God, I don't want
• 34:46
  Randy. Not Randy. Mr. Mayor. What? Not Randy.
• 34:51
  You can hear too, let me kind of try to boost
• 34:53
  this. What? You can hear, listen, let me here,
• 34:56
  generate, volume and compression, amplify. Here,
• 35:00
  listen to this, you can hear people laughing.
• 35:02
  Mr. Mayor. What? Everyone the gallery sort of
• 35:07
  laughs. It's a it's almost like it's like the
• 35:09
  the Gooken show and a film in front of a live
• 35:12
  studio audience in Coeur d 'Alene, Idaho It's
• 35:13
  the Dan Gooken show The applause sign lights
• 35:18
  up the laughter sign. Well, I would wager this
• 35:22
  to be fair and in defense of the unknown People
• 35:25
  I can't see or know anything about I would reckon
• 35:27
  I would wager a lot of that is you know how the
• 35:30
  it's the the Uncomfortable laugh the awkward
• 35:32
  laugh like we don't know what to do. This whole
• 35:33
  thing is horrifically uncomfortable. So We're
• 35:36
  going to, we've got to chuckle. Yeah. You know,
• 35:38
  that kind of thing. We've all been there. You
• 35:40
  know, what's up. Here's the very end of this,
• 35:42
  where, um, it sounds, there was a, it was cut
• 35:44
  to this. So I don't know how long had elapsed,
• 35:46
  but he, um, had gotten his wits about him. He
• 35:49
  had taken a couple. For the record, they do,
• 35:52
  uh, film at least last, I know they film all
• 35:56
  of these. So you can get the full unedited, um,
• 35:59
  version of it. I'm pretty sure somewhere on the
• 36:01
  city council website, I think, I think they have
• 36:03
  them all, uh, recorded filmed cataloged. archived,
• 36:07
  yada, yada, yada. So it's all. So even if so,
• 36:09
  if they did cut a bunch of stuff, if you want
• 36:11
  the full meal deal, it's out there. Good luck.
• 36:15
  I am going to pull the council right now. Thank
• 36:17
  you. And I do admit that I get very passionate
• 36:20
  about things. So this was late. I don't know
• 36:22
  how much later, but this was this was later.
• 36:24
  The other thing. Yeah. The other thing I wanted
• 36:27
  to unpack real fast. Sorry. I apologize, but
• 36:28
  I got to say this to you. This matters. Well,
• 36:31
  I'm doing it. What, Scott? What? How dare you
• 36:37
  tilt the table against me? I am the host of this
• 36:41
  show. Ah, crap. You win. It's the very last part
• 36:51
  of it. And then you can. OK, if this had been
• 36:52
  almost anybody other than Guggen, they would
• 36:54
  not have gotten away with this. Like, OK, it
• 36:57
  made news. We got the audio files at the press
• 37:00
  reported it. But. really look at how it's been
• 37:04
  reported. It has been treated with kid gloves,
• 37:06
  just like, Oh, there's Dan Gukin having a fit,
• 37:08
  but that's okay. Good old Dan. Like if this had
• 37:12
  been like my dad at an NIC council meeting, heads
• 37:17
  would have exploded. All the heads would have
• 37:19
  exploded. It would have been national news. You
• 37:22
  know, the fucking mother Jones would have called
• 37:24
  up and been like, Oh, we heard about the nuclear
• 37:27
  meltdown. Do you want to tell us the story and
• 37:30
  why Todd is so evil? far right Ku Klux Klan or
• 37:34
  Todd Hitler. Banducci throws temper tantrum amid
• 37:38
  issues, threats, issues, threats to city attorney
• 37:43
  wants to like a tyrant wants to appoint so and
• 37:48
  so and have no vote anti anti -democracy, you
• 37:51
  know, anti -democracy mayor wants to appoint
• 37:55
  chief police and shouts. I am the mayor. I make
• 37:58
  the decisions. I mean, just imagine all the different
• 38:00
  ways this would play. So I had to get that out
• 38:03
  there because we deconstruct this stuff. They
• 38:06
  are treating this with such kid gloves. It's
• 38:08
  so obvious. Had it been anybody else, especially
• 38:11
  anybody of a conservative volition, mines would
• 38:14
  have been lost. Let's illustrate that point,
• 38:17
  Rook. The initial network affiliate That I had
• 38:21
  played was, I believe, four news now. The Crime
• 38:23
  Channel 2's was a little bit shorter. And let's
• 38:26
  break away from the full source audio and just
• 38:28
  go back to one of the mainstream media's presentations
• 38:30
  of it to your point. This morning, Coeur d 'Alene
• 38:32
  Mayor Dan Guggen formally requested the city
• 38:34
  attorney, Randy Adams, resign. He formally requested
• 38:37
  resign. Guggen was not happy with how he handled
• 38:41
  Tuesday's city council meeting when they were
• 38:43
  choosing the next police chief. He told our news
• 38:46
  partners. That's it. That's how they say it.
• 38:48
  So either they didn't listen to the audio, like
• 38:51
  we have, or what do you know, they have an agenda.
• 38:55
  Because had this been a different person saying
• 38:57
  the same things, they would have reported this
• 39:00
  so differently. The Coeur d 'Alene press, Adams
• 39:02
  waited until the council meeting to bring up
• 39:04
  his concerns about one of the candidates, Dave
• 39:06
  Hager. Gukin had appointed Hager and says Adams
• 39:09
  did this to embarrass him. Right now, Adams is
• 39:12
  out of office until May, so we were not able
• 39:14
  to get a comment from him. Regardless, though,
• 39:17
  the council chose Greg Yeager to be the new police
• 39:20
  chief. Yes, he's on a six week from Denver, Colorado,
• 39:24
  Denver, California, Denver, California. And last
• 39:26
  we heard he was in Maui, the Philippines, the
• 39:31
  city attorney or I don't know. Yeah. Whoever
• 39:33
  the hell. Yeah. Adams on vacation. I know what
• 39:35
  you're doing there. After hearing most of this
• 39:38
  source audio here, does does that report sound
• 39:41
  to you? like a an assessment of what was actually
• 39:45
  of what went on here. Is this a rhetorical question?
• 39:49
  Because right now, here's how I feel. Gotcha,
• 39:51
  bitch. Yeah. Here's the here's the very red handed.
• 39:54
  The very last part of this, where at some time
• 39:57
  later, I don't know if it was the next day or
• 40:00
  later in the day or whatever, once the rolling
• 40:03
  boil of Gooken's blood had stopped, this is what
• 40:05
  he said. Good luck. No, here, hold on. Thank
• 40:08
  you. And I do admit here here it is channeling
• 40:11
  his inner Liam Neeson Good luck, and I do admit
• 40:15
  that I get very passionate about things I get
• 40:18
  really wound up and I can get real excited Especially
• 40:22
  when I think I'm being abused he's being abused
• 40:24
  Oh being abused or Dan they never ever ever would
• 40:28
  allow most people to get away with that Here
• 40:31
  is a new No ID exclusive. I have a Dan Gukin
• 40:35
  supercut that I used some of our old audio from
• 40:39
  him and some of this new audio. And here's what
• 40:41
  I put together for your enjoyment. I am the mayor
• 40:43
  and I felt really gay last night. I have authority
• 40:47
  to come over for a gay time. I am tired of pussy.
• 40:51
  And if you don't like it, you can sue me. Bless
• 40:59
  you. Bless you, Scott Moskowitz. You're welcome.
• 41:04
  I am tired of pussy. Yeah, we know. Gay. Yeah,
• 41:09
  dude, you're amazing. Shut up and take my money.
• 41:13
  Yes, that's a great point. Where are we at here?
• 41:16
  44? Yeah, good enough. Speaking of shut up and
• 41:18
  take my money. We have tons more to get to. I
• 41:22
  can't believe we only did two clips on that first
• 41:24
  segment. What can you do? You knew it was going
• 41:25
  to take a while. That one is too good. This program
• 41:30
  runs on value for value. No idea is a sponsor
• 41:33
  free show. there are no advertisers and there
• 41:36
  are no sponsors we will never have those we remain
• 41:39
  free from outside influence liberty is the overarching
• 41:43
  theme of this show and as such we run on the
• 41:47
  value for value model and not the advertiser
• 41:49
  model value for value means that if you find
• 41:53
  our program valuable that you contribute back
• 41:55
  value to the show simple as that we try to bring
• 41:58
  the value with this program it's free there's
• 42:00
  no paywalls there's no subscriber only content
• 42:02
  We just put the show out there every Thursday.
• 42:04
  And if you find it valuable, we ask that you
• 42:06
  contribute back value to the show. No ID show
• 42:09
  .com is where you can go to do all that. There
• 42:11
  are some new new features on the website, including
• 42:14
  a little wall of founding donors and honoring
• 42:19
  the founding donors of this program. Did you
• 42:20
  check out that graphic? You showed it to me last
• 42:24
  night. Yeah, just what? Yes. And I'm wondering
• 42:26
  how if you did what the mainstream media does
• 42:29
  and does not even listen to the source audio,
• 42:31
  you just like glance and go, okay, that's her
• 42:32
  part. Or if you actually like, you know, zoomed
• 42:34
  around and took a look at it, there was a lot
• 42:35
  going on. Okay. Well, if you're going to put
• 42:37
  me on the spot like that, and I'm going to know,
• 42:39
  I'm going to, I brought the receipts. I brought
• 42:41
  the receipts. You son of a bitch. I did look
• 42:43
  at it and I quote, it's Ron Swanson meets no
• 42:49
  ID. I like it. So yeah, I did take a look at
• 42:53
  it. I took a look at the no step on snake flag
• 42:55
  I took a look at the lookouts. I thought that
• 42:57
  was cool I liked how you incorporated the list
• 43:00
  of notes with it said bias and Framing and basically
• 43:04
  all the shitty things that mainstream media does
• 43:07
  I like that We have a themed coffee mug and now
• 43:09
  I think we need to make merch really feel like
• 43:11
  that's the next thing Right, right. I mean right,
• 43:16
  you know between the state budget cuts And our
• 43:18
  budget cuts, we're killing our listeners, Scott.
• 43:21
  It's time we step up our game. Literally. So
• 43:24
  sorry. No, I thought it was great. So you sent
• 43:27
  me the graphic. I looked at it. I have the receipts.
• 43:30
  Go check your phone, Hoser. Put me on blast like
• 43:32
  that. How dare you? Well, for one, I asked. I
• 43:35
  was just asking questions, man. And I thought
• 43:38
  you would appreciate the sky cloth that I integrated.
• 43:43
  I did appreciate the sky cloth. So how dare you
• 43:47
  embarrass me in front of the rest of this council
• 43:49
  and tilt the table? I'm the mayor of these things
• 43:52
  in private next time. I am the color commentary.
• 43:57
  I'm good with the people and the words. What
• 44:00
  the hell is wrong with you people? Please go
• 44:03
  check it out. It's at the bottom. It's at the
• 44:05
  bottom of the website. It's a cool graphic. And
• 44:07
  if you have been a a donor to this program, if
• 44:11
  you have contributed back value in the form of
• 44:15
  uh, treasure specifically, uh, you might just
• 44:18
  find your name on that plaque. Yes. And that
• 44:21
  is the it's guaranteed. You will true that it's
• 44:23
  not really like a treasure hunt. It's like a,
• 44:25
  it's going to be there and you don't even need
• 44:27
  a map. Just get on the interwebs, look it up
• 44:30
  and go find your name for the record. Since Scott
• 44:33
  decided to put me on blast, I'm going to fight
• 44:35
  back a little bit here. That was my idea. The
• 44:38
  wall of fame, by the way. So everybody who gets
• 44:40
  this, enjoy your name and this awesome graphic
• 44:43
  that Scott did make. but the idea was mine. And
• 44:46
  as we all know, intellectual property is nine
• 44:49
  tenths of the law. So get bent, Moskowitz. Ew.
• 45:13
  could be in any form of those things that you
• 45:17
  contribute back to the show, taking your time
• 45:19
  to send boots on the ground reports or a notes
• 45:23
  about, you know, feedback notes or by the way,
• 45:28
  I have one of those that I have to pull up here.
• 45:30
  Even if you never have contributed actual like
• 45:32
  hard currency to the show, anybody who submits
• 45:36
  worthy Guggen audio files, your name goes on
• 45:39
  the wall of fame too. It's just as good as cash.
• 45:41
  Just find us some more juicy stuff. Scott needs
• 45:44
  to keep working on that super cut and make it
• 45:46
  even better. Yes. So I'll read this quickly as
• 45:51
  a note that came in from, he actually still,
• 45:55
  it leads off with no need to share my name. So
• 45:57
  I will not. He says, thanks for sharing value
• 46:00
  to me. I'm going to go investigate the hockey
• 46:02
  situation. Also, Wayne Gretzky, AKA the great
• 46:06
  It's actually the great one, but aka the great
• 46:09
  has some kind of involvement with the rink down
• 46:11
  there He's talking about frontier ice, which
• 46:13
  we had mentioned on the last program is building
• 46:16
  a new sheet over there in Coeur d 'Alene Yes,
• 46:18
  he does and I knew that he does I think he founded
• 46:21
  a hockey school and stuff because Gretzky has
• 46:22
  a has a place on Lake Coeur d 'Alene I've run
• 46:24
  into him on the lake who doesn't yeah, right
• 46:27
  exactly. Yeah. No, I don't I know he actually
• 46:29
  haunts the area He does, and I saw his ghost
• 46:32
  and his wife's ghost and I'll relate this quickly
• 46:35
  because it was a good one. A few years ago on
• 46:37
  the lake I spotted his boat and he had just commissioned
• 46:39
  this boat from I think Stan Crafter was one of
• 46:42
  those custom beautiful wood boats and it had
• 46:45
  been featured in the press and I had seen pictures
• 46:49
  of this new boat that had been delivered to Gretzky.
• 46:52
  And so I spotted it. Like, I think it was Memorial
• 46:55
  Day or Labor Day or whatever a few years ago.
• 46:57
  And we were over in Beauty Bay, me and some friends,
• 47:00
  we had our boat, we had a couple of jet skis
• 47:02
  and I saw it. I was like, that's Gretzky. So
• 47:05
  I took a jet ski and I buzzed over there and,
• 47:07
  you know, just to be a stalker crew. You took
• 47:09
  a jet ski to go hang out with Gretzky? Yeah.
• 47:12
  You're a poet and you didn't even know it. Yeah.
• 47:14
  So what I did is I buzzed over there. Oh, I knew
• 47:16
  it. I title waved him. No, I just buzzed over
• 47:19
  there and I just kind of went up and he had,
• 47:21
  so it hits. Go back to California, bitch. Aren't
• 47:26
  you from Smell, eh? No, Denver. Denver, yeah,
• 47:31
  Denver, Mississippi. The boat was full of like
• 47:35
  big buff looking, like they look like professional
• 47:37
  athletes. And it was Gretzky and his wife was
• 47:39
  there and there was a lot of people in the boat,
• 47:40
  as you might imagine. And I sort of buzzed over
• 47:43
  there and I just kind of like. tip my cap and
• 47:45
  I was like, uh, Hey, just, you know, just wanted
• 47:48
  to say, uh, you know, hockey is a big part of
• 47:49
  my life and you're the reason, uh, you're, you're
• 47:51
  a big part of the reason. So, uh, you know, you,
• 47:53
  you rock whatever tip of the cap and, you know,
• 47:56
  he gave me the little tip of the cap back. And
• 47:57
  then the, all the other professional athlete
• 47:59
  guys who were all, you know, young twenties,
• 48:01
  whatever started going like, Oh, damn legend
• 48:05
  legend. And I learned later that there was some,
• 48:09
  like a charity golf tournament that Gretzky was
• 48:11
  one of the either sponsors or hosts or whatever.
• 48:14
  And these were, those were NFL players. They
• 48:16
  were professional football players and they were
• 48:18
  out there with him. So from their perspective,
• 48:21
  you know. So on a boat full of NFL players, it's
• 48:24
  the hockey guy who gets recognized. Who's been
• 48:26
  retired for 30 years. Yeah. Like, you know, I
• 48:29
  went over there and like I could care, I didn't
• 48:31
  even notice or could give a, give a flying about
• 48:36
  who any of those guys were. I was just there
• 48:38
  to say hi to Gretzky, the star who's been retired
• 48:40
  for a million years. So those guys were like,
• 48:43
  damn dude, legend. Well -deserved. Yeah, well,
• 48:47
  you and I, neither of us watch Hand Eggs, so
• 48:49
  how are we gonna know what the full book writers
• 48:50
  look like? Touche. So just to continue the anonymous's
• 48:54
  note here, Wayne Gretzky, AKA The Great One,
• 48:56
  has some kind of involvement with The Rink down
• 48:58
  there. I have a set of sweats. Gretzky hockey
• 49:01
  sweats, sweatpants that he gave my brother. It's
• 49:04
  a local thing. My brother and I grew up playing
• 49:07
  and are both huge fans. I also enjoyed Paul's
• 49:10
  appearance on Dave's podcast. I think he's talking
• 49:13
  about the backlash. It's not very backlash with
• 49:16
  Dave Riley. There you go. It's not very often.
• 49:18
  I learned a thing, new things about the quote
• 49:21
  community, close quote leaders, leaders, leaders.
• 49:24
  And he spelled it L I T E R S. So we see what
• 49:27
  you did there. Anonymous. Nice. Fun note. And
• 49:30
  you know what's funny too? There's actually a
• 49:32
  note from I believe executive producer Kevin
• 49:35
  Killian sent a note about the rink too. It's
• 49:37
  funny that that that particular clip at the very
• 49:40
  end of the show was what inspired the most amount
• 49:43
  of you never know what's going to get people
• 49:45
  to the bells to go off. Let me pull up Kevin's.
• 49:48
  Hockey strikes me as one of those things that's
• 49:50
  like a pseudo underground type activity. It's
• 49:55
  a community that exists and it's bigger than
• 49:57
  everybody thinks and somehow manages to keep
• 50:00
  a low profile. But there's plenty of people who
• 50:02
  share its orbit. You're right. That's a good
• 50:05
  assessment. So here's Kevin says, Ari hockey
• 50:09
  rinks slash times all of the youth sports slash
• 50:13
  figure skating. They require. parental involvement,
• 50:17
  like transportation. Parents have jobs and kids
• 50:19
  have school, 8 to 5 Monday through Friday, or
• 50:21
  thereabouts. That leaves a small window of evenings
• 50:24
  slash weekends for all of the rec leagues and
• 50:27
  travel teams and late nights for beer league.
• 50:30
  My guess that frontier is empty, is just straight
• 50:32
  up empty during the daytime Monday to Friday.
• 50:35
  And he said, I'm flying home from Indianapolis
• 50:37
  listening. So he's probably right. And like I
• 50:39
  said, I've never even gone over there. And maybe
• 50:42
  it just is empty. competitive tournament paintball
• 50:45
  actually works the same way that's very, very
• 50:47
  narrow windows of time when we play. And it's
• 50:49
  because, um, well, a number of different reasons,
• 50:52
  but a very important reason that often gets overlooked.
• 50:54
  Same thing with hockey. Neither of them are inexpensive
• 50:57
  activities. They're not an expensive sports.
• 51:00
  The gear is expensive to continue to play is
• 51:03
  expensive. The travel is just, it is not expensive.
• 51:05
  It's not cheap to play. Whereas with soccer,
• 51:08
  you need a ball. That's it. That's all you need
• 51:11
  a ball with basketball. you need hoops, but just
• 51:16
  it, just a hoop even in there. And they're everywhere.
• 51:19
  You know, with football, you need an egg shaped
• 51:23
  ball. That's about it. I mean, play it, I guess
• 51:26
  to play it hardcore, you need, you need some
• 51:28
  gear too. But anyways, the point is you have
• 51:31
  to have a job to be able to play hockey or to
• 51:34
  afford your kids to play hockey. Same thing with
• 51:35
  paintball. Like there are very few guys in the
• 51:38
  competitive tournament paintball world who aren't
• 51:39
  squared away. They have to be their lives have
• 51:42
  to be squared away. You can't play at a high
• 51:44
  level unless you are. I think that probably tracks
• 51:46
  pretty hard with hockey, too. And I would also
• 51:48
  wager that the communities both share a lot of
• 51:50
  similar values, culture, ideas about things.
• 51:54
  That helps. Helps a lot. I appreciate the always
• 51:57
  love the feedback. It's tons of fun. Thanks,
• 51:59
  guys. And thanks for the insight on that, Kevin,
• 52:01
  because, yeah, that tracks. I think the sport
• 52:03
  I love paintball shares a lot of similarities
• 52:07
  there. I'll give you a quick uh, even finer point
• 52:10
  about the notion of of equipment and what it
• 52:13
  takes to actually participate in the sport and
• 52:15
  why You know kicky ball is the chosen sport of
• 52:18
  the third world even within hockey Like there's
• 52:22
  still a tier there that everybody recognizes
• 52:24
  like i'm a i'm a goaltender and I have been my
• 52:27
  whole life like since since I basically started
• 52:28
  playing it's really the only position i've ever
• 52:30
  played and Even amongst the equipment of hockey
• 52:34
  players Goaltender equipment is the most expensive
• 52:37
  of that and everyone knows that and so therefore
• 52:40
  like in beer league you pay either not at all
• 52:44
  or Like half of what everyone else pays because
• 52:47
  everyone knows that for one There's not that
• 52:50
  many goalies and you can't have a game without
• 52:51
  a goalie and for two all of your stuff is more
• 52:54
  expensive Yeah, yeah there again similarities
• 52:58
  a little bit It executes a little differently,
• 53:01
  but paintball is the same way. You've got your
• 53:03
  front players, your back players. The mid position
• 53:06
  is kind of going away these days, but there was
• 53:08
  mid positions too. And your back players, they
• 53:11
  got to walk out there with 10 pods of paint.
• 53:14
  And they're shooting half a case per point, whereas
• 53:17
  your front players were shooting three pods,
• 53:20
  two pods maybe. It's a huge discrepancy in who's
• 53:23
  shooting how much paint based on the job. And
• 53:26
  you always do team paint. You do team paint.
• 53:28
  You don't make your back players pay their own
• 53:29
  paint bill because that'd be a pretty shitty
• 53:31
  thing to have to do to basically pay triple to
• 53:34
  get less of the glory. But your job is just as
• 53:37
  important. Well, speaking of important ways,

• 54:01
  No ID show .com. Yeah, do me a favor, guys. Show
• 54:08
  appreciation for the time Scott put in to rebuild
• 54:11
  and all that stuff, because all of the ideas
• 54:13
  were mine because I'm pretty awesome. But all
• 54:15
  of the execution were Scott's because I made
• 54:20
  I made the Hebrew do the work. Well, I like being
• 54:23
  here, man. At least I get Sirloin. And as of
• 54:28
  a couple nights ago some of my some of my Schmeckles
• 54:30
  at the poker table I spent most of the drive
• 54:40
  home just slowly sniffing the bills. I hope for
• 54:45
  nothing less. I would actually be disappointed
• 54:46
  if you didn't Yeah, well, I think we can do second
• 54:51
  half. Do you have a song? an intermission song?
• 54:53
  I do. I do. And actually I had one dialed up
• 54:55
  that I really, really liked, but because I pivoted,
• 54:59
  I'm going to pivot actually and go with something
• 55:01
  else because it, now that I had put it into everybody's
• 55:04
  head earlier on, I'm going to just pay them off.
• 55:07
  We're going to play it. Okay. Well, I'm going
• 55:09
  to go hit the head. I'll be right back. I know
• 58:31
  who's known for like the gen state. I mean, when
• 58:38
  are we ever happy when listening to fun songs
• 58:41
  like this? Tub thumping. I haven't heard that
• 58:45
  song all the way through in quite a while. It's
• 58:48
  been a long while and I thought We got to give
• 58:51
  the people what they want Scott I can't dial
• 58:53
  up 15 seconds of that song and then not give
• 58:55
  them the rest of it. So We can't yes. Yeah, I
• 58:58
  mean for a you know a song that came out right
• 59:00
  around the time Wayne Gretzky retired I'm sure
• 59:02
  people are missing it. You didn't know what we
• 59:05
  had You never truly know what you have until
• 59:07
  it's gone speaking of that In Idaho tonight,
• 59:12
  where the Gem State remembers former Governor
• 59:14
  Dirk Kempthorne. He died at the age of 74 in
• 59:16
  Boise last night. Current Idaho Governor Brad
• 59:19
  Little ordered flags to half staff until the
• 59:23
  day after his memorial service. Kempthorne was
• 59:25
  elected governor of the Gem State back in 1998
• 59:28
  and reelected in 2002. He later served as Secretary
• 59:31
  of the Interior for the Bush administration from
• 59:34
  2006 to 2009. Governor Little released a statement
• 59:38
  saying a part quote, Friendship goes back to
• 59:41
  our college days where Dirk and I shared the
• 59:43
  same state government class, an experience that
• 59:45
  helped set the course for a lifetime of public
• 59:48
  service service for him. Dirk's career was marked
• 59:50
  by extraordinary service. Uniparty 101. We were
• 59:55
  in the same frat. We frequently occupied the
• 59:59
  same back rooms. Yeah, one side worked for the
• 1:00:03
  Clinton administration, one side worked for the
• 1:00:05
  Bush administration, but they all attended each
• 1:00:06
  other's parties and weddings and bar vitzvas
• 1:00:08
  and everything else. Dirk's career was bought
• 1:00:11
  by extraordinary service service at every level.
• 1:00:15
  Now, former governor, Ken Thorne, are you the
• 1:00:16
  one purposely doubling that service service?
• 1:00:20
  No, no. The mainstream media is just bringing
• 1:00:23
  the point up. Now, of course, it's me, dude.
• 1:00:24
  No shit. Really? That's the second time they've
• 1:00:26
  done that. And it's it's just like leader, leader,
• 1:00:29
  leaders, man. Yeah, no, you have your years of
• 1:00:30
  service, service, service, a lifetime of public
• 1:00:33
  service service for him. Dirk's career was bought
• 1:00:36
  by it's not service. my extraordinary service,
• 1:00:40
  service at every level. I love the part where
• 1:00:43
  you thought that might not have been me. All
• 1:00:46
  right, let's finish this. I thought it was you.
• 1:00:48
  It is me. Of course it's me. Okay. Hey, you think
• 1:00:53
  the newsreader is glitching out? Hey, listen,
• 1:00:56
  the last speech we listened to by Governor Little,
• 1:01:00
  he told us about how he was trying to pervert
• 1:01:03
  the state. Yeah, Touche. Yeah. And you know what
• 1:01:08
  I'm talking about. I'm picking up what you're
• 1:01:10
  putting down. Now, former Governor Ken Thorne
• 1:01:12
  was the chairman of the USS Idaho Commissioning
• 1:01:15
  Committee, and back in January, the U .S. Navy
• 1:01:17
  announced the submarine's engine room would be
• 1:01:19
  named after him. Our Boise Sister Station spoke
• 1:01:22
  with him at the time about the honor. I've been
• 1:01:25
  there since day one for the ship, and we have
• 1:01:28
  such a team that surrounds us. So when I say
• 1:01:31
  humble, there's a lot of folks that need to receive
• 1:01:34
  accolades for what they've done for this ship.
• 1:01:36
  I'm amazed. I'm just amazed, and it's a tremendous
• 1:01:41
  honor. Then you pay for it. I will, for the rest
• 1:01:44
  of my life, support that ship, that crew, and
• 1:01:49
  the family. Now I have some USS Idaho clip here
• 1:01:53
  quickly, and you know, Brad Little gave a speech
• 1:01:56
  at the commissioning, and that just happened
• 1:01:59
  a couple days ago. I do find it funny where he
• 1:02:02
  was like, you know, you just heard the voice
• 1:02:03
  of the late Dirk Kempthorne, and he said, I find
• 1:02:08
  it humbling or I'm humbled by the notion of the
• 1:02:11
  engine room of this speedy sea cucumber is named
• 1:02:15
  after me. Well, it seems to me to be the opposite
• 1:02:20
  of humbling. Why would you be humbled by that?
• 1:02:22
  It seems like if it wasn't named after you, that
• 1:02:26
  you were passed over, that would be humbling.
• 1:02:28
  If somebody named a rock hard sea wiener after
• 1:02:31
  me, I would be very proud. I would be too. How
• 1:02:35
  many missiles does this thing have? You guys
• 1:02:37
  aren't firing blanks, right? You guys got a lot
• 1:02:39
  of semen in here? How many semen can you fit
• 1:02:41
  in this? That big crew? How fast does this thing
• 1:02:45
  go? Can it go in reverse? How deep? You see this
• 1:02:54
  a lot with like, let's say, let's say I remember
• 1:02:57
  hearing it growing up. What? You see this a lot.
• 1:02:58
  What are you, Senator Handy from Idaho? I've
• 1:03:03
  seen people in every way, shape or form all over
• 1:03:05
  the world going to the bathroom. I've seen it
• 1:03:08
  in every way, shape or form all over the world.
• 1:03:11
  the sort of opposite descriptors being used for
• 1:03:15
  stuff where it like seems to be sort of inverted.
• 1:03:17
  I remember always hearing, oh, bullies, you know,
• 1:03:20
  school bullies, they're, they're cowardly. They're
• 1:03:22
  really cowardly. And I remember thinking cowardly.
• 1:03:26
  I, there are a lot of things like assholes and
• 1:03:28
  you know, dumbbells or whatever they are, but
• 1:03:30
  cowardly. No, no more like calculated. Right.
• 1:03:35
  Cowards don't go up and shove people into lockers.
• 1:03:37
  Cowards run the opposite direction and with their
• 1:03:40
  tail between their legs. Cowards let it happen.
• 1:03:43
  Yes. And they also like you would hear it with
• 1:03:46
  I remember you describe like when Columbine happened.
• 1:03:50
  Oh, this very cowardly act. It's a cowardly act.
• 1:03:53
  When people commit atrocities, it is oftentimes
• 1:03:56
  described by the mainstream as a cowardly act.
• 1:03:59
  It seems like the opposite of that. It's a lot
• 1:04:01
  of things like evil and depraved, but cowardly,
• 1:04:05
  that seems like an inversion. It's a coping mechanism.
• 1:04:07
  It's something you say to make yourself or others
• 1:04:10
  feel better. You know, be like, Oh, well, they're
• 1:04:12
  just cowards. It's like, well, what they did
• 1:04:15
  was really shitty, but not cowardly. It seems
• 1:04:18
  like it takes some balls. So I found that to
• 1:04:21
  be interesting and it happens a lot. Okay. So
• 1:04:24
  here is some U .S. So dirt campthorn died, big
• 1:04:28
  whoop. I mean, you know, everybody, well, all
• 1:04:32
  the establishmentarians, of course, are all big
• 1:04:34
  into it. And it's just an excuse to it's another
• 1:04:37
  opportunity. Here's the Colts again, Scott. It's
• 1:04:40
  another opportunity for leader worship, leader,
• 1:04:43
  leader, leader worship. It's like, oh, he was
• 1:04:45
  a great man. And now we name a boiler room after
• 1:04:48
  him inside a sea cucumber. And we're probably
• 1:04:51
  going to put a memorial of him somewhere. And
• 1:04:52
  we're going to fly the flags at half mass. It's
• 1:04:55
  like, honestly, who cares? Another ruler dies.
• 1:05:02
  I know it sounds really insensitive now I'm not
• 1:05:05
  saying he was a bad man or that I hope for his
• 1:05:07
  death But it is worth considering that there
• 1:05:11
  are so many people out there in in Idaho in Kootenai
• 1:05:15
  County in Idaho on planet Earth who are so much
• 1:05:18
  better people who have done better things Crazier
• 1:05:22
  things more interesting things harder things
• 1:05:25
  here higher caliber people by a mile and when
• 1:05:28
  they die We don't put the flags at half mast.
• 1:05:31
  It just, it drives me crazy. You know, like we
• 1:05:34
  ought to honor the plumbers and the linemen and
• 1:05:39
  those people before we ever think about honoring
• 1:05:43
  governors. I don't care. I care about the people
• 1:05:47
  who actually form society and do good things
• 1:05:51
  in it without the accolades or the rock hard
• 1:05:54
  sea cucumbers being named after them. Here is
• 1:05:59
  the commission story on said sea cucumber and
• 1:06:02
  this morning the US Navy officially commissioned
• 1:06:04
  the USS Idaho in Connecticut It's the first Navy
• 1:06:07
  combat vessel to carry the state's name and more
• 1:06:09
  than a hundred years of major milestones since
• 1:06:12
  it was it was commissioned in Connecticut Commission
• 1:06:15
  the USS Idaho in Connecticut. It's the first
• 1:06:17
  Navy combat vessel Well, you know what they should
• 1:06:20
  have done. This is already wrong. This is wrong
• 1:06:23
  in so many ways the USS, Idaho Should have been
• 1:06:26
  put into pond array lake and that's where it
• 1:06:28
  should stay. It should patrol pond array lake
• 1:06:32
  Make sure that Loch Ness doesn't get us You mean
• 1:06:35
  Nessie Oh Nessie. Yeah, people think she's in
• 1:06:39
  Scotland. She's in pond array lake. That place
• 1:06:40
  is deep, man You know Loch Ness is deep, but
• 1:06:44
  it's very small. You ever seen Loch Ness compared
• 1:06:47
  to pond array? I mean, it's like it's a tiny
• 1:06:50
  droppiest drop in the bucket of pond array Nice.
• 1:06:57
  And no, I have never compared the two bodies
• 1:06:59
  of water because I'm a busy person with a life.
• 1:07:03
  A hundred years, a major milestone since it was
• 1:07:06
  first named back in 2015. The nuclear powered
• 1:07:08
  submarines already finished sea trials and extensive
• 1:07:11
  testing. Organizers say it reflects a growing
• 1:07:14
  connection between Idaho and the Navy. Governor
• 1:07:16
  Little spoke at the ceremony. Oh, get ready.
• 1:07:19
  Idaho and the ocean. That is why this moment
• 1:07:21
  matters so much to the people of Idaho. We must
• 1:07:24
  commit ourselves to pervert what to preserving
• 1:07:28
  our state as the place. Oh, sorry. I might have
• 1:07:31
  mixed in some State of the Union there to pervert
• 1:07:34
  to preserve. I mean, I mean, preserve. Sorry.
• 1:07:37
  Have a Navy submarine. No, for a minute there.
• 1:07:41
  I actually thought that was a legit speech for
• 1:07:43
  the USS Idaho. Nice job, Scott. Thank you. Thank
• 1:07:46
  you very much. Have a Navy submarine bear our
• 1:07:52
  name. is not just an honor, it's a profound responsibility.
• 1:07:56
  It is a symbol of trust. Trust that the name
• 1:08:00
  Idaho will be carried with pride and distinction
• 1:08:03
  across the world's oceans. The now commissioned
• 1:08:07
  sub will become an active duty warship. We're
• 1:08:11
  here to break down the narrative, right? Bullshit.
• 1:08:15
  Nobody cares. Only you care. Only the leaders
• 1:08:17
  care. That's it. It's chest, it's chest thumping.
• 1:08:23
  Colts love chest thumping. How much that thing
• 1:08:26
  cost? I wonder how much, you know, speaking of
• 1:08:29
  feel good moments, I would be curious to pencil
• 1:08:31
  out how much that bad boy cost the residents
• 1:08:34
  of the state of Idaho. How much did we unwillingly
• 1:08:37
  pay for that fucking thing? Okay. The USS Idaho.
• 1:08:40
  What is the estimated what? Build cost? Sure.
• 1:08:45
  Okay. Let's see what the internet. Well, that'd
• 1:08:47
  be just build costs too. That's not development
• 1:08:48
  costs or anything like that. Just build. Start
• 1:08:52
  this is okay. Okay. This is amazing on the fly
• 1:08:56
  How many zeros the question big or small make
• 1:08:59
  your guess before the game begins? The USS, Idaho
• 1:09:06
  SSN 799 is Virginia class block for fast attack
• 1:09:11
  sea cucumber and is generally estimated to have
• 1:09:14
  cost about what to build I Don't know what any
• 1:09:18
  of that means But it sounds pretty fancy, and
• 1:09:21
  I know it's pretty new. I'm gonna go with, man,
• 1:09:26
  I know nothing about sea cucumbers. I mean, do
• 1:09:32
  we know how many semen fit inside of it? You
• 1:09:34
  might help me out. Just answer the question.
• 1:09:37
  Okay, okay, I bet you this bad boy's gotta be
• 1:09:41
  somewhere close to a billion dollars. No, not
• 1:09:47
  even close? No, the North Idaho NAACP judge is
• 1:09:51
  laughing hysterically. He's choking on his coffee.
• 1:09:53
  It's coming out through his nose. 2 .6, Billy.
• 1:09:59
  Wow. Wow. I was being charitable, wasn't I? Whoa.
• 1:10:03
  Who doesn't like the wing? Who doesn't like that
• 1:10:09
  again? Didn't someone just tell us they didn't
• 1:10:11
  like that? No, no. It was Jason who was like,
• 1:10:14
  I don't like the whistle. And I was like, what,
• 1:10:16
  what are you talking about? The whistle? And
• 1:10:18
  he's like, and I said, you mean the bell? He's
• 1:10:20
  like, yeah, too much bell. See, this is a, I
• 1:10:24
  thought he was talking about that. No, no. He
• 1:10:26
  was also talking about the bell, but I told him
• 1:10:28
  the same thing. I said, then donate asshole.
• 1:10:31
  And you get, you get to say how much bell, but
• 1:10:33
  until you, I don't, until I see a shiny schmeckle
• 1:10:35
  from you, you shut up. Right. Okay. Okay. Let's
• 1:10:42
  move on. Now hold on. I have to do, no, hold
• 1:10:45
  on. 2 .7 billion. Billion? Yeah. Billion. This
• 1:10:50
  nuclear sub is 2 .7 billion. Billion? Yeah, the
• 1:10:53
  nuclear sub. Hold on. Just give me a second.
• 1:10:59
  I'm bad at the maths, but I have a calculator,
• 1:11:01
  so... That cost every single man, woman, and
• 1:11:09
  child in Idaho, $1 ,300. How do you like that?
• 1:11:16
  So about half of my property taxes went to that
• 1:11:20
  submarine this year. Yes, that's just for that's
• 1:11:22
  for one sea cucumber and a vast array of equipment
• 1:11:26
  for all the different branches. And that's just
• 1:11:28
  one part of the state apparatus. Yeah. Now, and
• 1:11:34
  one little organism in the whole sea of aquatic
• 1:11:36
  killy life now. And what's great is when They
• 1:11:41
  have their authoritarian spaz outs and stick
• 1:11:45
  crowbars through the bicycle spokes of the world
• 1:11:49
  and economy. And then they're like, good news,
• 1:11:52
  we're sending you a $600 check in the mail. You're
• 1:11:56
  welcome. It's always some amount like that. In
• 1:12:00
  the most egregious of circumstances, it's like
• 1:12:03
  1 ,300 bucks. Oh, my favorite. Well, the most
• 1:12:07
  recent one, incidentally, you notice it, a track
• 1:12:09
  record here with Orange Man. is we were told
• 1:12:13
  in every American is going to get refunds from
• 1:12:16
  these tariffs because it's not actually Americans
• 1:12:19
  who pay the taxes on these tariffs. It's other
• 1:12:21
  countries, the very good countries, but they're
• 1:12:24
  not as good as us, but they're going to pay the
• 1:12:26
  tariffs. We're going to make them pay. And then
• 1:12:28
  we're going to make sure that you guys get the
• 1:12:31
  money. Guess what's not happening right now,
• 1:12:35
  Scott. We're not getting the money. What you
• 1:12:38
  want to know who is getting the money. Walmart.
• 1:12:41
  What yeah, I'm sure you heard about that that
• 1:12:43
  doesn't sound right a big corporation no turns
• 1:12:47
  out That now that refunds are being given and
• 1:12:52
  applied for it's the companies that get to apply
• 1:12:55
  for and receive Refunds not the people who bought
• 1:12:59
  the stuff. Oh Thank you very much You're welcome
• 1:13:03
  America Here is speaking of money out of the
• 1:13:08
  pockets of the non -leader, leader, leaders.
• 1:13:11
  Every two years, voters in Shoshone weigh in
• 1:13:14
  on school district funding. And on May 19th,
• 1:13:16
  they'll see that supplemental levy once again.
• 1:13:19
  He's not quite John Webb, but he's attending
• 1:13:23
  the John Webb School of Elocution. Once again,
• 1:13:25
  I'm your Shoshone neighborhood reporter, Joey
• 1:13:27
  Martin, talking with neighbors and the superintendent
• 1:13:30
  of schools to break down what $300 ,000 per year
• 1:13:33
  does for the small school. school district. So
• 1:13:35
  I think it's a good idea. It's a common sentiment
• 1:13:38
  among neighbors in Shoshone. For the last 20
• 1:13:40
  years, voters like Marilyn Tapia have said yes
• 1:13:43
  to support a reoccurring two -year supplemental
• 1:13:45
  levy. I think it's good. Kids here do deserve
• 1:13:47
  to have a really good school district. I think
• 1:13:49
  it's good. Have a lot of awesome programs that
• 1:13:51
  they could be implemented. I don't know what
• 1:13:52
  they do with the money, but it's for kids. Superintendent
• 1:13:54
  of schools Rob Waite says if it isn't broken.
• 1:13:56
  don't fix it. It's not a new levy, it's just
• 1:13:59
  a continuation of the funding that's been in
• 1:14:01
  place for over 20 years. According to the primary
• 1:14:05
  election ballot, the two -year $300 ,000 levy
• 1:14:08
  will help support a wide array of activities
• 1:14:10
  and supplies for the district, but it also covers
• 1:14:12
  the school's ability to run all -day kindergarten
• 1:14:15
  and maintain a four -day school week. One of
• 1:14:17
  our school goals is to have student contact time.
• 1:14:20
  And so this levy will help support to make sure
• 1:14:22
  that we can continue the all day kindergarten
• 1:14:24
  that we've had. The second part is another program
• 1:14:28
  that we've had for several years, which is called
• 1:14:29
  our extended day program. The extended day program
• 1:14:32
  gives the school an extra 30 minutes a day built
• 1:14:34
  into the year that helps cover state required
• 1:14:37
  student teacher contact time. Wait tells me it's
• 1:14:39
  been very successful in Shoshone. Because we
• 1:14:42
  believe students do better when they have more
• 1:14:44
  contact time with their teachers. As for cost,
• 1:14:46
  homeowners are looking at just under $75 per
• 1:14:49
  $100 ,000 of assessed property value. That's
• 1:14:51
  all. Oh, that's how they do it. That's all. Yeah,
• 1:14:54
  that's all they do. That's all. That's all it
• 1:14:55
  is. $1 ,000 of assessed. In a region where houses
• 1:14:58
  have now been assessed at over half a million
• 1:15:00
  dollars. So let's see. That'd be 75 times five,
• 1:15:06
  which is only. Three hundred and seventy five
• 1:15:10
  dollars. Oh, come on. That's only like one fourth
• 1:15:13
  your share of the USS C cucumber Come on. What
• 1:15:15
  are you complaining about? It's only a car payment
• 1:15:17
  and you're right. It is only one fourth of my
• 1:15:19
  share of a C cucumber So I guess I mean when
• 1:15:22
  you look at it from that angle Well, and also
• 1:15:25
  let's not forget that this is assessed value
• 1:15:27
  in your house So it doesn't you know, this is
• 1:15:29
  it's it's so saith the assessor and what they
• 1:15:32
  say is well Did I so I sold I sold it at that
• 1:15:34
  price and I'm like, no no, it's just what we
• 1:15:36
  tell you it's worth It doesn't matter if you
• 1:15:38
  buy for $90 ,000 150 but back when the time Wayne
• 1:15:41
  Gretzky retired what we're telling you it's worth
• 1:15:44
  is what you owe now pay up and hold still for
• 1:15:46
  the services Or lose your home Or we'll take
• 1:15:50
  your home by force. Because we all know the most
• 1:15:54
  neighborly thing you can do is force your neighbor
• 1:15:58
  to pay for the thing you want under threat of
• 1:16:00
  taking their home very, very neighborly of you.
• 1:16:03
  Yes, that is the government. It's what makes
• 1:16:05
  Idaho, Idaho. This is what I keep hearing. It's
• 1:16:07
  all about the government. Hold still while the
• 1:16:09
  government shows you what Idaho means. Which
• 1:16:10
  is the same cost as the existing levy that expires
• 1:16:13
  this summer. Meaning if approved, taxpayers will
• 1:16:16
  see. We're already stealing from you. Don't worry.
• 1:16:19
  We're not stealing any more than we did last
• 1:16:21
  year. Just the same amount. Don't worry about
• 1:16:23
  it. Meaning, if approved, taxpayers will see
• 1:16:25
  no change at all. It's been a contradiction in
• 1:16:27
  this district not to increase the amount of money
• 1:16:30
  and the and the ask for how much money we have.
• 1:16:33
  We have respect for the taxpayers and we don't
• 1:16:35
  want to. Well, they know in Shoshone County that
• 1:16:38
  there's a low appetite for for this kind of bullshit.
• 1:16:42
  They're they're in a county where most people
• 1:16:44
  are like, no, get bent. But the communities in
• 1:16:47
  a community, community, communities in the town,
• 1:16:50
  like Kellogg, Kellogg on its own will, will win
• 1:16:54
  the day. And Kellogg is where most of the teachers
• 1:16:57
  live and it's where the biggest part of the school
• 1:16:59
  district is. And so in the same way that, you
• 1:17:02
  know, Sandpoint moves the needle in Bonner County.
• 1:17:05
  And then the same way that Bonners Ferry moves
• 1:17:06
  the needle in Boundary County in the same way
• 1:17:08
  that Coeur d 'Alene moves the needle in Kootenay
• 1:17:10
  County, Kellogg moves the needle in Shoshone
• 1:17:12
  County. So. it'll pass and it'll pass mainly
• 1:17:15
  because of Kellogg, but they still have to ask
• 1:17:18
  for less than they would like to because they
• 1:17:20
  know that Shoshone County as a whole is really
• 1:17:23
  not a fan of this sort of thing. Ask for more.
• 1:17:27
  We try to keep it at the bare minimum to provide
• 1:17:30
  these sort of things that are in the levy. The
• 1:17:32
  levy needs a simple majority to pass reporting
• 1:17:34
  in Shoshone. I'm your neighborhood reporter,
• 1:17:36
  Joey Martin, Idaho News 6. Now neighborhood reporter,
• 1:17:39
  I'm just your neighborhood reporter now note
• 1:17:42
  what happened in this presentation from the mainstream
• 1:17:45
  media They had a lady on in the beginning who's
• 1:17:49
  she's just a voter who's voted. Yes on this sort
• 1:17:51
  of stuff Lots of times and they thought as a
• 1:17:53
  voter Scott. She's a neighbor She's a neighbor
• 1:17:55
  a neighbor voter community neighbor who voted
• 1:17:58
  yes on this many times before and she would speak
• 1:18:00
  a see she likes kids Okay, she's a fan of the
• 1:18:03
  key of children and and so therefore she votes
• 1:18:06
  yes on the money thing because what about The
• 1:18:08
  children. You got to throw around. Like you got
• 1:18:15
  to be careful how much you throw around liking
• 1:18:16
  children. The key though, just I'm channeling
• 1:18:19
  my Dimitri Martin. He had a great sketch. He
• 1:18:22
  was like, it's really important to make the distinction.
• 1:18:24
  It's like, you got to be, got to be general about
• 1:18:26
  it. Not specific. Cause you, if you walk in and
• 1:18:28
  you're like, yeah, no, I, I really love 12 year
• 1:18:30
  olds. I love 12 year olds. We'd be like, no,
• 1:18:32
  no bro. No, you got to be less specific. You
• 1:18:35
  just say, I love kids. Oh, right. Okay. I love
• 1:18:38
  kids very neighborly. I'm very neighborly with
• 1:18:41
  the children. Yeah. And so it had, it had that
• 1:18:44
  lady at the beginning. It had the state superintendent
• 1:18:46
  of schools talking about how we're not, we're
• 1:18:48
  not increasing. No, we're just, nothing's increasing.
• 1:18:50
  Uh, everything's fine. Just, just, you know,
• 1:18:52
  nothing. Nevermind the fact that if we, if we
• 1:18:54
  didn't pass it, then our taxes would decrease.
• 1:18:57
  Like, so it is no, no, but it's not increasing
• 1:19:01
  increase. Well, it's an increase from what it
• 1:19:03
  would be if we weren't getting raped and pillaged.
• 1:19:06
  What? No, no, no, no. You don't understand, man.
• 1:19:08
  Nothing's increasing at all. Channeling your
• 1:19:11
  inner Dan Gooke in there. What? What? What? Do
• 1:19:16
  not interrupt me. The mainstream media. Sorry.
• 1:19:20
  Sorry, everybody. I get a little passionate about
• 1:19:23
  being taxed. Get a little, you know, I get a
• 1:19:26
  little worked up about having things stolen from
• 1:19:28
  me without my consent. If you'll forgive me.
• 1:19:31
  The mainstream media This is not a news report.
• 1:19:35
  This is promotion on behalf of public schools
• 1:19:39
  and levies. Promotion. There is no alternative
• 1:19:42
  voice. There's no neutral presentation. There's
• 1:19:45
  no, well, here's what somebody who opposes this
• 1:19:47
  might say. Here's what a community neighbor who
• 1:19:51
  is not for this thinks. There's none of that.
• 1:19:54
  It's completely one -sided. This is promotion.
• 1:19:58
  Yeah, it basically amounts to a native ad. It's
• 1:20:00
  a native ad. It's not really, but it basically
• 1:20:02
  is. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. For all intents
• 1:20:07
  and purposes, that's what it is. It's a native
• 1:20:09
  ad. Yes, it is. And you know, the other thing
• 1:20:10
  about these levies, do you know where the votes
• 1:20:14
  take place for these levies, the voting places?
• 1:20:17
  I'm going to guess Denver, California or Connecticut.
• 1:20:21
  Oh, Ponderay Lake, actually. Ponderay. The school
• 1:20:26
  buildings. Almost always every once in a while
• 1:20:31
  depending on your district and your community
• 1:20:32
  and your community It might be a firehouse The
• 1:20:36
  one of the firefighter stations or whatnot, but
• 1:20:39
  almost always these votes take place inside the
• 1:20:42
  school buildings That's why they always win because
• 1:20:47
  the teachers and the administrators who leech
• 1:20:50
  off of this system whose livelihoods depend on
• 1:20:52
  it So, of course they have a bias and they have
• 1:20:54
  an agenda and it more money always for them more
• 1:20:57
  money They can walk down the hall and cast a
• 1:21:01
  vote. And there's several hundreds of them. And
• 1:21:03
  in Shoshone County, several hundreds moves the
• 1:21:05
  needle. Meanwhile, regular people, the ones footing
• 1:21:09
  the bill, work. They have jobs. They have to
• 1:21:14
  vote somehow, either at the very beginning of
• 1:21:16
  their day on their way to work, in the middle
• 1:21:18
  of their day at lunch, or at the end of the day
• 1:21:20
  on their way home from work, assuming they have
• 1:21:22
  a normal schedule. And a lot of people don't
• 1:21:24
  have a normal schedule, so they can't fit that
• 1:21:26
  in. That's also why mainly it's retired people
• 1:21:29
  who carry the vote. Older people vote en masse
• 1:21:31
  versus anybody below the age of 50, but a ton
• 1:21:34
  of that is because older people have the time,
• 1:21:35
  they're retired, they have flexible schedules,
• 1:21:37
  they can vote. Meanwhile, those of us who actually
• 1:21:42
  pay the most in proportion to what we generate
• 1:21:44
  and need the money, our own money the most, and
• 1:21:47
  have the least amount of time in our working
• 1:21:48
  and raising families, we have to go out of our
• 1:21:52
  way to cast a ballot. But not those who work
• 1:21:55
  in education. They get to walk down the hall.
• 1:21:58
  It is practically a part of their just workday.
• 1:22:02
  That's why they carry these votes so easily.
• 1:22:04
  It's so easy for them to win. And then, of course,
• 1:22:08
  the media pushes these native ads for them too.
• 1:22:12
  And bada bing bada boom. You could be paying
• 1:22:14
  $400 a month or a year less in property taxes.
• 1:22:17
  It's not like we could use that money or anything.
• 1:22:19
  That's a car payment, by the way. That's a whole
• 1:22:21
  car payment. No big deal. Just be grateful that
• 1:22:25
  it's not going up. Here, speaking of eduimacators,
• 1:22:29
  here's more from that delightful organization.
• 1:22:32
  The new back and forth between the governor and
• 1:22:35
  the state's largest teachers union. The Idaho
• 1:22:37
  Education Association issued a vote of no confidence
• 1:22:39
  in Governor Brad Little yesterday. It came after
• 1:22:42
  he signed into law a bill preventing teachers
• 1:22:44
  unions from using any taxpayer resources to conduct
• 1:22:47
  union activities. The governor shrugged off the
• 1:22:50
  criticism. We'll get to that in a moment. First,
• 1:22:53
  Julie Luketa spoke with the union. Now, before
• 1:22:55
  we continue on with this, here's what's new.
• 1:22:58
  This is the same set of, you know, talking heads
• 1:23:01
  are on these reports frequently. And listen again.
• 1:23:05
  So that's how she says her name. You'll hear
• 1:23:08
  it at the end. And here's how the the initial
• 1:23:11
  guy says it. Is how she says her name. And it's
• 1:23:19
  not as if the host doesn't know this is the same
• 1:23:22
  people that are always doing these things. Why
• 1:23:25
  in the world are you, it'd be like if I was like
• 1:23:27
  Paul Bandukiki, and you were, and then at the
• 1:23:30
  end of the show, you were like, I'm Paul Banducci.
• 1:23:31
  But then just every single week I was like, Paul
• 1:23:33
  Bandukuki, like, are you listening to how I pronounce
• 1:23:36
  my name in? Why can't you say? Julie Yukita?
• 1:23:39
  Julie Yukita? Instead you're like, Julie Luketa.
• 1:23:42
  Julie Luketa. What the hell's wrong with these
• 1:23:44
  people? What the hell is wrong with you people?
• 1:23:48
  It's a genuine question. I don't understand it.
• 1:23:50
  Yeah, but it's not important enough. You're not
• 1:23:51
  important enough for me to care. What other conclusion
• 1:23:56
  is there to draw? Frankly, any immigrant that
• 1:24:01
  comes across our border, if they don't change
• 1:24:03
  their name to Williams or Smith or White, then
• 1:24:07
  I'm not going to pronounce their name. Don't
• 1:24:11
  tell me what to do. We'll get to that in a moment.
• 1:24:14
  First, Julie Luketa spoke with the union. IEA
• 1:24:18
  spokesperson Mike Journey says members are frustrated
• 1:24:21
  and disappointed. I think there's a lot of soul
• 1:24:23
  searching going on among our members about whether
• 1:24:26
  or not Governor Little truly is a pro -public
• 1:24:29
  education advocate. Unless you acquiesce to the
• 1:24:35
  every demand of the public union, then you don't
• 1:24:39
  support learning. A pro -public education advocate.
• 1:24:42
  But don't you know it's all about the kids, right?
• 1:24:44
  It's all about the kids. Give us your money.
• 1:24:48
  Right. Just like the city council meeting in
• 1:24:51
  Coeur d 'Alene is all about the citizens. It's
• 1:24:52
  totally not about the little leaders at the top
• 1:24:54
  squabbling amongst each other. No, no, no. It's
• 1:24:56
  about the citizens. And this is about the kids.
• 1:24:59
  Under HB 516, union members cannot pay dues through
• 1:25:03
  the district's payroll system, nor use district
• 1:25:06
  facilities for meetings. This law is an attack
• 1:25:09
  on their rights to organize and advocate for
• 1:25:14
  their colleagues. It levels the playing field.
• 1:25:16
  It means you don't get to use taxpayer funded
• 1:25:18
  facilities and taxpayer funded systems to prop
• 1:25:21
  up your association, which is also taxpayer funded.
• 1:25:25
  This law is an attack on their rights to organize
• 1:25:29
  and advocate for their colleagues in the workplace.
• 1:25:33
  It also limits their ability to collaborate with
• 1:25:36
  school districts and have discussions with administrators
• 1:25:39
  at their workplace. In some cases, it prevents
• 1:25:43
  members from using pay time off to advocate at
• 1:25:47
  the legislature. It's going to make the work
• 1:25:49
  of the union more difficult and that's its intent.
• 1:25:52
  Governor Little expressed concerns over the broad
• 1:25:55
  language of the bill before signing it earlier
• 1:25:57
  this month. Julie, you get that? Boise State
• 1:26:00
  Public Radio news. IEA in the past has endorsed
• 1:26:04
  Brad Little in his campaigns for governor, but
• 1:26:06
  that seems an impossibility now as Little seeks
• 1:26:09
  a third term. Meeting reporters in Coeur d 'Alene
• 1:26:11
  yesterday, the governor gave a verbal shrug to
• 1:26:14
  IEA's criticism. I'll make my case to the teachers
• 1:26:17
  any day about what I've done for teacher pay,
• 1:26:21
  starting teacher pay, veteran teacher pay, career
• 1:26:23
  ladder, insurance. All the things we've done
• 1:26:26
  for education. All the things he just rattled
• 1:26:36
  off is palming the teachers. It's greasing the
• 1:26:40
  palm of the teachers and the administrators.
• 1:26:42
  It has nothing to do with the children. Or education,
• 1:26:46
  as in learning things. What about this pay and
• 1:26:50
  what about that benefit? What about this pay
• 1:26:51
  and that pay and this pay and that pay for education?
• 1:26:54
  Well, how are we supposed to recruit good teachers,
• 1:26:57
  man, if we don't pay well? Okay, I just, it's
• 1:27:01
  a conflation of the two things. I mean, you'll
• 1:27:03
  forgive us for being a little cynical when we
• 1:27:05
  hear these sorts of words coming out of your
• 1:27:07
  guys' mouth. I mean, it's ridiculous. Like, I
• 1:27:09
  don't know, people homeschool their kids for,
• 1:27:12
  they don't get paid for it, but they're very
• 1:27:14
  concerned with education. So maybe there isn't
• 1:27:17
  necessarily a correlation between money and education.
• 1:27:21
  The thing that the system cares most about it
• 1:27:25
  can be summed up in one word money money always
• 1:27:29
  so what are you guys saying man you're saying
• 1:27:31
  teachers should work for free yeah okay buddy
• 1:27:34
  that's what we're saying let's finish this all
• 1:27:38
  the things we've done for education that audio
• 1:27:40
  shared with us by spokane public radio idaho's
• 1:27:43
  primary election is about a month away okay it
• 1:27:46
  was almost over all right well anyway just uh
• 1:27:48
  just remember how much it is worth noting that
• 1:27:50
  They do use the terms interchangeably, teachers
• 1:27:53
  and education, as if they are the same thing.
• 1:27:55
  They're not the same thing. One is supposed to
• 1:27:57
  beget the other, but we're so far from that now.
• 1:28:00
  They're miles and miles and miles apart. In fact,
• 1:28:02
  I would argue that the former gets in the way
• 1:28:04
  of the latter. Well, it's a little little contrived
• 1:28:10
  now because this was the ask Paul that I had
• 1:28:12
  prepared We did a fun on the fly one before but
• 1:28:15
  I have it. So let's just do it Here comes the
• 1:28:18
  question redemption round small make your guess
• 1:28:20
  before we call the game begins. It's asked Brought
• 1:28:24
  to you by Pfizer now, this isn't necessary It
• 1:28:27
  isn't actually really it's on an Idaho story,
• 1:28:29
  even though it was carried on an Idaho affiliate
• 1:28:31
  And so I don't know why it was there, but it
• 1:28:33
  was and it's freaking hilarious. I will be floored,
• 1:28:37
  if you can guess this. Swedish researchers say
• 1:28:40
  contamination is having an effect on salmon.
• 1:28:43
  A two year study found salmon given tiny implants
• 1:28:47
  of swim faster than non implanted salmon. What
• 1:28:53
  are they referring to? What can you give salmon
• 1:28:56
  that make it swim faster? You want to hear it
• 1:28:59
  again? OK, just so I understand, they actually
• 1:29:01
  have done a conducted a study where they purposely
• 1:29:04
  put blank in salmon. That is correct. And I didn't
• 1:29:08
  look, I should have looked up what government
• 1:29:10
  agency was funding that important research for
• 1:29:12
  $55 million. It said Swedish. It said Swedish
• 1:29:15
  researchers. Swedish researchers say contamination
• 1:29:19
  is having an effect on salmon. Yes. And it's,
• 1:29:22
  yes, you're right. It is Sweden. Something contamination.
• 1:29:25
  Okay. So it's something getting in the water,
• 1:29:28
  but they're now doing research on it to see the
• 1:29:32
  effects on salmon. A two year study found salmon
• 1:29:35
  given tiny implants of swim faster than non implanted
• 1:29:41
  salmon. I mean, this could be anything that could
• 1:29:46
  leach into the water. So make some swim faster,
• 1:29:50
  faster. So they're, there's no way motivated.
• 1:29:54
  Okay. It's gotta be something to do with like
• 1:29:58
  testosterone. It's testosterone. Stuff or your
• 1:30:01
  ED pill chemicals or something like that because
• 1:30:04
  I'm thinking you know salmon are motivated They
• 1:30:06
  do their thing swim faster. We're gonna go with
• 1:30:09
  ED stuff like Viagra type stuff getting into
• 1:30:13
  the water somehow Swedish researchers say cocaine
• 1:30:17
  contamination is having an effect on salmon.
• 1:30:20
  Hey, actually, I'm not half wrong. Given tiny
• 1:30:22
  implants of cocaine. Swim faster than non -cocaine
• 1:30:27
  implanted salmon. It took a study for them to
• 1:30:31
  figure that out. And you're right, you were halfway
• 1:30:35
  there. I mean, in a way, in a roundabout way,
• 1:30:39
  I was kind of there. So here's the real question,
• 1:30:43
  though, more importantly. We know that they've
• 1:30:45
  made a movie called cocaine shark They also made
• 1:30:48
  a movie that I think had two parts called cocaine
• 1:30:50
  bear area to expect cocaine salmon next like
• 1:30:55
  in the wilds of Alaska You thought being on land
• 1:30:59
  made you safe You thought wrong? It's like oh
• 1:31:03
  my god. It's cocaine bear run get the water and
• 1:31:06
  then oh my god. No, it's cocaine salmon I would
• 1:31:09
  seek I would get in line to see cocaine salmon.
• 1:31:12
  I would and if you'll excuse the phrase line
• 1:31:19
  We'd have to do a watch party for all of the
• 1:31:21
  cocaine animals at that point. We just have to
• 1:31:24
  shut ourselves in for 12 hours and just watch
• 1:31:26
  them all. And that watch party would definitely
• 1:31:28
  go on until five o 'clock in the morning because
• 1:31:30
  that's the kind of party it would be, you know.
• 1:31:33
  Well, we would definitely be bumping. By the
• 1:31:42
  way, I owe you an apology. No Scots shots today.
• 1:31:45
  I apologize to you and more importantly to our
• 1:31:48
  executive producers. I'm going to make up for
• 1:31:50
  it with two. Scott's shots next week. I promise.
• 1:31:54
  Pinky swear. Oh, I screwed it up. I hit the button.
• 1:31:59
  Damn it. You son of a bitch. Now we have to offload
• 1:32:02
  a second. That's fine. That's fine. We can keep
• 1:32:04
  talking. Okay. It's an extra two minutes. Sorry.
• 1:32:08
  Now I only owe Scott one Scott's shots. Just
• 1:32:12
  lost his bonus one. Your finger want to slip
• 1:32:14
  again, man? You'll be down to zero. I'm telling
• 1:32:17
  you what. Say what again? Say what again? I dare
• 1:32:20
  you. I'm so very deeply sorry. Well, I'm looking,
• 1:32:25
  yeah, I'm looking for it. I always loved those
• 1:32:26
  Scott shot segments, even though I really need
• 1:32:28
  to get back on track, man. Going like over my
• 1:32:31
  last three. I don't even know what to do with
• 1:32:33
  myself. Yeah. Well, I've been low. I've been
• 1:32:35
  softballing them in there pretty good for a while.
• 1:32:38
  And I decided it was time to up the ante a little
• 1:32:40
  bit. You know, as soon as you got comfortable,
• 1:32:41
  I had to shake it up. Yeah. That's fair. Firm,
• 1:32:45
  but fair. Dude, cocaine salmon. I love that.
• 1:32:50
  And then they're like, Hey, well, how much money
• 1:32:52
  did that cost the taxpayer? Like how many grams
• 1:32:55
  per? Yeah. How many grams did the taxpayer pick
• 1:33:00
  up? Yeah. And they're like, and then it turns
• 1:33:02
  out after our exhaustive two year study that
• 1:33:05
  cost us $50 million, it turns out that when salmon
• 1:33:09
  rail lines, they are slightly sped up. They are
• 1:33:13
  more productive. Who knew? Ask anybody in Miami.
• 1:33:16
  They could tell you that you could have saved
• 1:33:17
  so much time and money. Just go down to Miami
• 1:33:19
  and be like, Hey, are you more productive during
• 1:33:21
  such and such time of the day? All of the salmon.
• 1:33:24
  Why do you ask? They were also overheard telling
• 1:33:26
  all the other salmon how much they love them.
• 1:33:32
  So in other news, salmon population is set to
• 1:33:35
  explode next season. Well, we're gonna explode
• 1:33:38
  on the next episode of no ID. This was number
• 1:33:41
  26 and we'll see you for that explosion on episode
• 1:33:44
  number 27 and until then from Post Falls I'm
• 1:33:47
  Scott and I'm Paul taxation is theft what
