  is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci
• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey, welcome back. It's
• 0:27
  No ID, North Idaho's mainstream narrative media
• 0:31
  deconstruction of Scott. Hello Internet, I'm
• 0:35
  Paul. What a beautiful day. Another day, another
• 0:41
  outraged mob, Scott. They're all over the place.
• 0:45
  The NPCs, they're out in force. You can see the
• 0:47
  glow from their torches. Just once, just once,
• 0:52
  I wish the NPCs would actually be outraged about
• 0:54
  the things that they should be outraged about.
• 0:57
  Things that matter, like paying rent to the government,
• 0:59
  calling it property taxes, or... wanting to do
• 1:03
  anything really on their own property and being
• 1:05
  told they need a permit or having money stolen
• 1:09
  for every hour of their life they are productive
• 1:12
  or having their currency manipulated every minute
• 1:15
  of every day and just print it out of thin air
• 1:18
  like it's nothing because spoiler alert it is
• 1:23
  one can dream Well, I have a perfect property
• 1:27
  tax clip just to piggyback random what you're
• 1:30
  saying. Neighbors in Boise could soon be paying
• 1:32
  more in property taxes, and city leaders say
• 1:35
  it's part of balancing a budget with growing
• 1:37
  demands. I'm senior reporter Riley Shoemaker,
• 1:40
  and I am talking with Boiseans downtown to see
• 1:42
  what they think about paying more. Property taxes
• 1:45
  are a major source of revenue for the city of
• 1:47
  Boise. Wait, I already know. Hold on. What are
• 1:52
  the, okay, how many of them? This will be a I
• 1:55
  don't know. This is an ask Scott. I guess what's
• 1:58
  what do you what do you think the over -under
• 1:59
  is on? How many of these? NPCs living in Boise
• 2:03
  will say well, it's the price we pay for living
• 2:07
  in civilization I Put at least it depending on
• 2:11
  how many of the interview I don't know how many
• 2:13
  you're gonna give us here, but if they interview
• 2:15
  five Two for sure will for sure to if they interview
• 2:19
  three one for sure will possibly still to That's,
• 2:23
  that's the bet I'm taking. Do you want to take
• 2:25
  that bet? I can't take a bet. I'm guaranteed
• 2:29
  to lose. No, that's fine. That's fair. That's
• 2:32
  fair. I just, I was offering a betting line and
• 2:34
  I wanted, you know, we have offered some action.
• 2:36
  If you wanted to take it, it was yours, but I
• 2:38
  understand. I wouldn't bet against me on this
• 2:39
  one either. This by the way, or at all, because
• 2:43
  this is Idaho and betting is illegal. Oh yeah.
• 2:45
  We don't do that here. I'll meet you at state
• 2:47
  gambling allowed. We can in the, the parking
• 2:50
  lot of a, uh, of a gas station at state line,
• 2:53
  we can make the wager there. How about that?
• 2:56
  I'm in. This, by the way, this is from Idaho
• 2:58
  News 6 down in southern Idaho. And they the story
• 3:02
  is that the the proposal on the table, you'll
• 3:05
  you'll never guess is to the maximum allowed
• 3:08
  increase, the three percent per Idaho state laws,
• 3:11
  the maximum you can increase it. That's what
• 3:13
  the city of Boise wants to do in the last show.
• 3:15
  That we did we report it was the ask Paul from
• 3:19
  last show was about the severance package recently
• 3:21
  given to one of the lackeys that Left the city
• 3:25
  and went to some other city in Idaho and was
• 3:28
  given about two hundred thousand dollars in severance
• 3:31
  Between just cash money plus accrued leave -in
• 3:34
  benefits and all those things So when they say
• 3:37
  the budget You know the the is a very important
• 3:41
  source of revenue so that they can deliver services
• 3:43
  Remember that wrapped up in the services is massive
• 3:47
  severance packages for administrative employees
• 3:49
  in addition to potholes. Oh I bet you they spend
• 3:56
  significantly less on potholes than they do on
• 4:00
  personnel expenses You know as such value for
• 4:04
  value the model that this show runs on I did
• 4:07
  receive a Somebody had clipped that a dude named
• 4:11
  Jeff sent me a clip that he made and it was of
• 4:15
  that particular that segment and that's when
• 4:19
  something tickles your funny bone or something
• 4:20
  stands out to you or whatever catches your ear
• 4:23
  and you take to your keyboard or take to your
• 4:26
  phone to send us stuff along those lines whether
• 4:29
  you have a boots on the ground response because
• 4:31
  it's something you know about or you make a clip
• 4:33
  of it like a dude named Jeff did or anything
• 4:36
  of the sort. We have a donation along those lines
• 4:38
  later in the show. That is value returned and
• 4:40
  that's the value for value model that the show
• 4:42
  runs on. So thanks dude named Jeff. It actually
• 4:46
  is a clipping tool that he made I have to hold
• 4:50
  on. Let me look at the name of it here because
• 4:51
  it's at the end of the clip I mean like a program
• 4:53
  that he got program. Yeah, he built it and Wow,
• 4:57
  dude named Jeff talented and handsome he is as
• 5:02
  a matter of fact and he He made this pro. It's
• 5:05
  called Clipperoni Clipperoni calm and what it
• 5:08
  did is it it's pretty cool. I posted it for names
• 5:12
  I posted it to A for app, F for name, dude named
• 5:16
  Jeff. You should have consulted us first before
• 5:19
  you named that thing. We could have done better
• 5:21
  for you. What's wrong with Clipperoni? We could
• 5:23
  have valued you. There's so much better material
• 5:28
  out there. Clipadian bacon? Clipindia? The cool
• 5:38
  part about it is that it auto -populates like
• 5:41
  a bunch of B -roll. So in the clip, which was
• 5:43
  us playing an NPR report on this massive severance
• 5:47
  package of many that the city of Boise doles
• 5:50
  out to the people that Lauren McLean likes doling
• 5:53
  it out to. And it's not just the city of Boise,
• 5:56
  it's every city. Take a look at any city you
• 6:00
  live in and shit happens. Yes, it's not unique
• 6:03
  to Boise. but what's cool about the clip is there's
• 6:07
  a bunch of b -roll integrated into it so like
• 6:09
  you know the city of Boise and then the clip
• 6:11
  shows the what is it the capital and then it's
• 6:16
  you know like oh when administrators and then
• 6:18
  it's showing a desk and it's showing someone
• 6:20
  working at a desk and the the program that dude
• 6:22
  named jeff built auto populates all of this b
• 6:25
  -roll in addition to the transcript and anyway
• 6:28
  it's cool and i posted it on that is clever so
• 6:31
  it's audio or excuse me so it's visual and audio
• 6:33
  it's it's uh it's video i guess not exactly the
• 6:38
  auto -populated b -roll is it Is it AI generated
• 6:41
  or is it, um, yeah, it is, you know, where he's,
• 6:44
  he's muck raked through all the B roll out there
• 6:47
  and, you know, put it all together and it's just
• 6:49
  there at his disposal. I think it's, I think
• 6:51
  it's AI generated. He said, um, it's still cool.
• 6:55
  It's cool. And he, so what did he said? I, uh,
• 6:57
  we had a little back and forth on it. He said,
• 6:59
  uh, I should have tweaked the B roll prompts
• 7:02
  to be more fun or dramatic, but I wanted to see
• 7:04
  what it would do without my input. So it was
• 7:07
  just a just a single prompt and then it was all
• 7:09
  auto generated. But it sounds like he's he's
• 7:11
  tweaking it and made some improvements to it
• 7:13
  recently. And it sounds like it's going to be
• 7:15
  a tool that is made for the public to use. Rock
• 7:20
  on. Way to go. Thanks. Thanks, Jeff. For sending
• 7:24
  that in. And in the meantime, back to this Idaho
• 7:26
  News 6 clip about Boise. Unlike Boise bureaucrats,
• 7:29
  you sure user are a actual contributor to society.
• 7:33
  So thank you. and I am talking with Boiseans
• 7:36
  downtown to see what they think about paying
• 7:38
  more. Property taxes are a major source of revenue
• 7:41
  for the city of Boise, helping fund services
• 7:43
  like police, fire, parks, and libraries. To gauge
• 7:46
  public reaction, I took a question to the streets
• 7:49
  of downtown Boise. Am I ready for my property
• 7:51
  taxes to go up? I know that my taxes are going
• 7:54
  up and there's not much I can do about it, but
• 7:56
  I am not happy about it at all. The city is proposing...
• 7:59
  Have you heard of taurine and feathering, sir?
• 8:02
  I actually am a big fan of the making tar and
• 8:05
  feathering great again movement. Oh, yeah. There
• 8:09
  are dozens of us, dozens. Marsh them down Main
• 8:12
  Street naked. Yeah. What we need to do is call
• 8:15
  up our kind of our sister chapter, Tree of Liberty.
• 8:19
  And we got to merge the two groups and make hangings
• 8:23
  and tarians and featherings great again. And
• 8:25
  I think, I think positive change can come from
• 8:28
  that. Tree looks awfully thirsty. The city is
• 8:32
  proposing a 3 % property tax increase in 2027.
• 8:35
  The maximum increase allowed under Idaho law.
• 8:38
  City budget officials say the proposal is driven
• 8:40
  by rising costs and the need to maintain services
• 8:43
  as Boise continues to grow. Why are costs rising?
• 8:49
  Seems like a natural question one might ask if
• 8:53
  one were curious about, I don't know, anything,
• 8:57
  just general curiosity and not just shilling
• 8:59
  on behalf of the state government. I'm going
• 9:02
  to channel my inner jewels from Pulp Fiction.
• 9:05
  And when they say inflation again, I'm just going
• 9:06
  to point my gun at them. Say inflation again.
• 9:09
  Say inflation again. I dare you. I double dog
• 9:11
  dare you. Say it again. It's rising costs. It's
• 9:14
  rising costs. When we give these massive severance
• 9:17
  packages, it really takes a bite out of our budget.
• 9:20
  And so the costs rise. And the need to maintain
• 9:27
  services as Boise continues to grow. Property
• 9:30
  taxes go into the city's general fund and that
• 9:33
  pays for the majority of the city's services,
• 9:37
  primarily public safety. So big police fire,
• 9:42
  but also critical services. Oh, it's for the
• 9:43
  safety. It's for the safety of the kids. For
• 9:46
  the safety. It's a fire. Just the safety. What
• 9:50
  if your house is on fire? We need 3 % more property
• 9:53
  taxes on account of what if your house is on
• 9:55
  fire? Primarily, public safety, so big police,
• 9:59
  fire, but also critical services like parks and
• 10:03
  libraries. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I thought
• 10:06
  cops and firefighters were the critical services.
• 10:09
  Did she just call parks a critical service? Did
• 10:12
  I hear that right? All the services are critical,
• 10:14
  man. The only thing that's not critical is you
• 10:16
  and your family and your income. but also critical
• 10:22
  services like parks and libraries. Alicia McAndrews
• 10:26
  oversees the city's budget division. She says
• 10:28
  70 % of the city's general fund goes towards
• 10:30
  paying employees who provide those services.
• 10:32
  Some neighbors like. Oh, who called that? He
• 10:35
  said it. I love it. They usually leave that part
• 10:38
  out. But in this case, they actually. 70 % of
• 10:40
  our budget goes to bureaucratic bloat and it's
• 10:44
  it's a jobs program. That's what it is. Jobs
• 10:47
  program. We take your money. We run payroll when
• 10:50
  Paul and I. And they all vote at in the middle
• 10:54
  of the day on a Tuesday in the building that
• 10:56
  they're working in. Yeah. And the off cycle elections
• 10:59
  every time a levy comes up, every time a bond
• 11:02
  comes up, every time anything like this comes
• 11:04
  up, they all vote. And I bet you we can tell
• 11:06
  you which way they vote, Scott. Three guesses
• 11:09
  in the first two don't count. We fund our own
• 11:11
  oppression. Yeah. By the way, like. You know,
• 11:15
  we've mentioned it before but whatever we're
• 11:17
  never gonna stop mentioning it Payroll was never
• 11:20
  biggest line item for our private businesses
• 11:22
  So the notion of taking in revenue so that you
• 11:25
  can run your payroll, you know and then you know
• 11:27
  have the have the Check clear so that all the
• 11:31
  employees get paid makes total sense If I was
• 11:34
  confiscating the revenue forcibly instead of
• 11:36
  having to earn people coming through my doors
• 11:39
  to spend discretionarily, you know how many more
• 11:41
  employees I would have? What incentive would
• 11:44
  I have to not just hire as many people and pay
• 11:46
  them as much as possible? Hello. Congratulations.
• 11:51
  You've just noticed a major distinction between
• 11:53
  the free market and private sector versus the
• 11:57
  state. Why in the world seems like nobody can
• 12:00
  do the math on this or not nobody, but like,
• 12:02
  you know, precious few. Why is nobody doing it?
• 12:04
  It's almost like incentives matter and human
• 12:07
  nature is human nature no matter where you go.
• 12:09
  So if you don't have an incentive to save money
• 12:12
  or to spend money wisely, wow. Well, you're not
• 12:16
  gonna. There's four ways you can spend money.
• 12:19
  Scott, you can spend your own money on yourself.
• 12:22
  You can spend your own money on someone else.
• 12:24
  You can spend someone else's money on yourself.
• 12:26
  You can spend someone else's money on someone
• 12:28
  else. And the vast amount of the government just
• 12:31
  in general are the, are the latter two exclusively.
• 12:35
  It's spending someone else's money on yourself
• 12:36
  and spending someone else's money on someone
• 12:38
  else. And when you are that removed from the
• 12:41
  consequences of your actions and the equations,
• 12:45
  well, You get what we have here. Give me more
• 12:48
  money. Also, I have to point this out now before
• 12:51
  I forget, but isn't it rich and ironic that while
• 12:55
  these, the same politicians who reside down in
• 12:58
  the city of Boise, who have just bitched and
• 13:02
  moaned and whined about 3 % budget cuts at the
• 13:06
  state level, how much are they asking for? Only
• 13:12
  3%. It's only 3 % they're asking for from their
• 13:16
  Slaves, I mean they're citizens. Meanwhile, if
• 13:19
  you cut three percent from them People are literally
• 13:23
  dying. I mean these cuts are killing people literally
• 13:27
  literally literally So how's that for one of
• 13:31
  just the sexiest ironies we could have? Come
• 13:35
  up with today three three thirty three. I think
• 13:40
  we ought to make three three dollars and 33 cents
• 13:44
  a donation tier Because it's super obtainable
• 13:47
  and easy for anybody to do and it and it just
• 13:50
  perfectly represents our the budget ironies 333
• 13:55
  yeah out there. Let's do 33 33. I think $3 and
• 13:59
  33 is a little small Do we not have 33 33 already?
• 14:04
  I think well, we only have a 33 and I that sort
• 14:07
  of that's on me I should have put three and in
• 14:09
  fact, I will I will change it to 33 33 I had
• 14:12
  a missed a perfectly good opportunity to add
• 14:14
  another 33 Yeah, well what what so we do have
• 14:18
  that here already? What's it called then? What
• 14:20
  are we calling it? It's called the no agenda
• 14:21
  naturally. Oh Oh, well, okay. I say we change
• 14:26
  it call it the state budget Maybe okay. I got
• 14:31
  a thing. I got a Think about how much similar
• 14:34
  I know. Yeah, I know I mean I got I don't want
• 14:36
  to take away from the from your inspiration the
• 14:39
  no agenda guys I mean, you know, you know I'm
• 14:40
  not I'm not trying to throw shade in their direction
• 14:42
  much respect and love and all that but I mean,
• 14:45
  come on You can't tell me you're not at least
• 14:48
  tempted here. It's tempting. Think about it.
• 14:52
  Alicia McAndrews oversees the city's budget division.
• 14:54
  She says 70 % of the city's general fund goes
• 14:57
  towards paying employees who provide those services.
• 15:00
  Some neighbors like Ryan Spoon question whether
• 15:02
  high taxes are the best way to meet the city's
• 15:04
  needs. I think government always claims that
• 15:08
  they can fix all the problems if you just give
• 15:10
  them more money. Boise resident Michael Fitzgerald
• 15:13
  says he understands the challenge of keeping
• 15:15
  up with a growing city's needs. We need infrastructure,
• 15:18
  we need our cops, we need people to protect us,
• 15:21
  and we need our fire departments, EMS, our roadways,
• 15:26
  everything in order for us to have a prominent
• 15:29
  society. Every time, Scott. Every single time.
• 15:33
  I love it. In order for us to have a prominent
• 15:35
  society. Buddy says if taxes are going up, residents
• 15:38
  should be able to clearly see where that money
• 15:40
  is being spent. I think if they're going to raise
• 15:43
  those property taxes, then it needs to be absolutely
• 15:45
  clear how it's going to benefit you as an individual.
• 15:47
  The city's proposed budget is expected to be
• 15:49
  released on June 12th with public hearings to
• 15:51
  follow before the budget is finalized later this
• 15:54
  summer. Did you hear what they said about they
• 15:57
  actually say? You know, in rare form, they say
• 16:00
  70 % of the budget goes to payroll. But the city's
• 16:03
  general fund goes towards paying employees who
• 16:05
  provide those services. It is insane who provide
• 16:09
  the services. It's such a load of crap, it's
• 16:13
  unbelievable. Like, okay, I'll give you a quick
• 16:16
  personal anecdote with some land that I'm trying
• 16:19
  to do with the city of Post Falls and I'm trying
• 16:21
  to do a boundary line adjustment, but they want
• 16:24
  a minor subdivision. I don't need to go into
• 16:25
  the details, but I've been, the surveyor that
• 16:29
  I've hired, who's a private contractor, and me,
• 16:32
  have been attempting to figure out why the city
• 16:35
  wants a minor subdivision for something that
• 16:38
  might, the surveyor, was like I don't understand
• 16:40
  why we don't just need to do a boundary line
• 16:42
  adjustment why is the city requiring you to do
• 16:45
  a minor subdivision when you're not trying to
• 16:48
  subdivide and we cannot we just cannot for lover
• 16:51
  money get a response out of the you can't get
• 16:54
  an answer email calls we want we went the guy
• 16:57
  met me down there my surveyor met me down there
• 16:59
  at 10am on a Wednesday last week to just walk
• 17:02
  in to try to talk to somebody nobody would talk
• 17:05
  to us they just had the front desk chick like
• 17:07
  like oh they're they're not in they're not in
• 17:09
  i'm sure they were just hiding in their offices
• 17:11
  this notion that they are like there to serve
• 17:14
  you and this gigantic payroll bloat and they're
• 17:16
  there to render the services it's such a freaking
• 17:18
  load of crap i can't believe anybody buys this
• 17:21
  stuff That's because most people who buy it have
• 17:25
  never actually dealt with it the vast majority
• 17:28
  of people Who defend property taxes who defended
• 17:32
  the DMV who act as if society will collapse without
• 17:35
  the bureaucracy They they barely have ever interacted
• 17:39
  with it. So in their minds it serves a purpose
• 17:43
  But the moment you have to interact with it ask
• 17:46
  them ask any small business owner. There's a
• 17:48
  reason why most Not all, but most small business
• 17:51
  owners tend to lean conservative libertarians
• 17:53
  somewhere on the right side of the modern American
• 17:55
  political spectrum. And it's because you get
• 17:58
  red -pilled pretty quick and then you get black
• 18:01
  -pilled at some point, too, on the system when
• 18:04
  you have to deal with a universal building code
• 18:08
  binder that is 10 inches thick and nobody ever
• 18:12
  could possibly know what the hell is all in it
• 18:14
  ever. And you have to deal with that just to
• 18:18
  remodel a bathroom for your business or to put
• 18:20
  in a load -bearing wall or to put in your bar
• 18:23
  or whatever. As somebody who's remodeled a space
• 18:26
  at, what, four or five times now, different spaces,
• 18:29
  for business purposes, it's an epic nightmare.
• 18:32
  And you go there, and here's how the interaction
• 18:35
  should go. This would be the common sense thing.
• 18:38
  And I think most people think it goes this way.
• 18:41
  because they don't know any better. They've never
• 18:43
  been on the other side of the counter. And they're
• 18:44
  NPCs. They just don't think about it. And they
• 18:46
  don't care because it doesn't affect them. But
• 18:48
  they think it goes like this. We go down. We
• 18:50
  submit our plans. We go, this is what we want
• 18:52
  to do. And then we get told, OK, well, you just
• 18:55
  need this and this. And you're good to go. OK,
• 18:57
  awesome. Let's do it. Nope. What it is instead
• 19:01
  is you have to meet with them, submit plans multiple
• 19:06
  times. And throughout the process of submitting
• 19:08
  plans, You cannot go down there and go, hey,
• 19:12
  here's what we have in mind. Will you look at
• 19:13
  it and then tell us what we can and can't do?
• 19:16
  You can't actually do that. You have to put together
• 19:19
  your plans in the way that you think will serve
• 19:21
  your business best or what you can afford. And
• 19:23
  then you have to submit them for consideration.
• 19:25
  And then they come back to you at some point
• 19:28
  after two or three or four weeks in the hopper.
• 19:30
  And they tell you, no, no, no, this is OK. This
• 19:34
  is OK. This is absolutely not OK. And no. and
• 19:38
  then you talk to them again and you go okay well
• 19:40
  what's the alternative what can I do and they
• 19:42
  tell you we don't know and or we won't say well
• 19:46
  all they can do is review what you've submitted
• 19:49
  and tell you what you can't do and they never
• 19:51
  offer alternatives they never offer help and
• 19:54
  they never at the outset of it just look at it
• 19:56
  all and go okay no you can't do a but you can
• 19:58
  do b and c no nothing like that it is it is an
• 20:03
  arduous process Whenever you deal with the city
• 20:06
  bureaucrats for anything that involves anything
• 20:09
  really just and and the legal system That's a
• 20:12
  whole nother thing to unwrap, but it operates
• 20:14
  the same way you think you got a good case You
• 20:16
  probably don't take everything that's common
• 20:18
  sense and throw it right out the fucking window
• 20:21
  Common sense does not exist. It is all purely
• 20:26
  bureaucracy protocol bylaws sublaws subsections
• 20:30
  and bureaucrats who do the bare minimum because
• 20:33
  they don't have to do anything else. There is
• 20:35
  no incentive to serve the citizen because we're
• 20:39
  not customers, we're tax cows. There's no incentive
• 20:42
  to be helpful because you don't get promoted
• 20:44
  based on being helpful. You get promoted based
• 20:46
  on tenure. How long have you been there? Et cetera,
• 20:49
  et cetera, so on and so forth. It's a systemic
• 20:52
  issue. It's a city thing, it's a county thing,
• 20:55
  it's a state thing, every level. If you are a
• 20:57
  productive member of society and you've dealt
• 20:59
  with it, you tend to get red -pilled and then
• 21:01
  eventually black -pilled by it. And that's why
• 21:03
  our demographic understands that you cannot hate
• 21:07
  the state enough. Well, the only thing I would
• 21:10
  and the fact that Boise's budget goes 70 % for
• 21:13
  payroll, that basically it is purely a jobs program
• 21:17
  at that point that just happens to dabble in
• 21:20
  providing a few services when it can get around
• 21:22
  to it. There's only one thing I would take exception
• 21:26
  to from what you said, which is you said a moment
• 21:29
  ago that, you know, the people who are sort of
• 21:32
  for it or like this sort of NPC type crowd who
• 21:34
  doesn't think about this stuff. You say they
• 21:36
  don't think about it because they don't. It just
• 21:38
  doesn't. It doesn't affect them except for it
• 21:41
  does, man. They get half their freaking labor
• 21:43
  taken away from them and then they turn around
• 21:46
  and defend that fact. They they like sort of
• 21:49
  they go to bat on behalf of their oppressors.
• 21:53
  Yeah, you're absolutely right. What I mean. So
• 21:54
  I was saying it as if it was some like from their
• 21:56
  perspective, like. From MPC's perspective, it
• 22:00
  doesn't affect them. They don't notice, they
• 22:02
  don't know, because if it's not right in front
• 22:04
  of their nose and directly impacts them in a
• 22:06
  way that is visible and overt, then it's not
• 22:09
  their problem. Even then, 2020 and 2021 showed
• 22:13
  us that even when it affects them as directly
• 22:15
  as possible, like hold cloth over your face while
• 22:18
  you go about your life for two years or until
• 22:20
  we tell you otherwise, they'll do that too. If
• 22:23
  it affects them physically, mentally, their kids,
• 22:26
  they will do anything because they believe in
• 22:29
  the inherent legitimacy of the state. So therefore,
• 22:32
  everything that flows from that is inherently
• 22:34
  legitimate. I'll do whatever I'm told for as
• 22:37
  long as I'm told. Well, we live in an age where
• 22:40
  for the last hundred and some odd years, because
• 22:43
  education, well, because indoctrination has been
• 22:46
  run by the state. You basically have, gosh, at
• 22:49
  this point, I don't know, seven, eight. generations
• 22:52
  worth of a culture that has been told non -stop
• 22:55
  from ages four till 20 that the government is
• 23:02
  benevolent, the government is omnipotent, the
• 23:04
  government is powerful, it is God. The government
• 23:07
  is the answer to your problems. I mean, that's
• 23:10
  the whole point of state -run indoctrination
• 23:12
  camps, also known as public education. You get
• 23:16
  kids while they're young and you teach them that
• 23:17
  the state is God and is the answer to everything,
• 23:20
  and they'll fasten the shackles to their own
• 23:21
  ankles. The state. Charming. But effective. I
• 23:28
  mean, it is the reason why most of these people
• 23:30
  are NPCs. It's the reason why most people defend
• 23:33
  heinous things like property taxes. I mean, when
• 23:35
  you really break down a property tax, you are
• 23:38
  paying tax on unrealized gain that has been assessed
• 23:42
  at arbitrary value. based on what the people
• 23:47
  who stand to benefit from it being a higher amount
• 23:50
  say it is. And if you don't pay, they take your
• 23:55
  home. It's structurally indefensible. They take
• 23:59
  your home. And people are just like, this is
• 24:03
  perfectly fine. Without these people threatening
• 24:07
  to take our homes, society would collapse. It
• 24:10
  would be chaos. Anarchy. Oh, Lou Rockwell. This
• 24:14
  is who I was trying to look up. His quote has
• 24:16
  lived with me forever. I saved it on my computer.
• 24:19
  Lou Rockwell says, it isn't a coincidence that
• 24:22
  governments everywhere want to educate children.
• 24:24
  Government education in turn is supposed to be
• 24:28
  is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness
• 24:30
  and its concern for our well -being. The real
• 24:33
  explanation, of course, is less flattering. If
• 24:35
  the government's propaganda can take root as
• 24:37
  children grow up. those kids will be no threat
• 24:39
  to the state apparatus. Indeed, they will fasten
• 24:41
  the chains to their own ankles. And we see it
• 24:45
  in real time every day. Also, for a moment of
• 24:51
  levity, I lost the bet. I don't know why you
• 24:54
  wouldn't have taken that bet, Scott, because
• 24:56
  I took the over on two and you were the dude
• 25:00
  who put together the audio and you knew of the
• 25:03
  three. Ah, dude, you could have, you could have
• 25:06
  crushed me. I mean, I guess thanks for being
• 25:08
  a gentleman, but Also don't I mean you can make
• 25:11
  so I actually was wrong They interviewed three
• 25:13
  Boiseites and two of the three were kind of like
• 25:15
  I was sure about this just one. No the first
• 25:19
  No, the first one or two two. I mean, I'm sorry.
• 25:22
  It was two I thought it was a because they actually
• 25:24
  had a guy on there who was like, oh, you know
• 25:26
  government always says that they'll solve problems
• 25:28
  if they just get more money and then the other
• 25:29
  guy was like What about the cops in the roads?
• 25:32
  So the what there were three there were interviews.
• 25:35
  I thought unless unless I'm mistaken Did they
• 25:37
  only interview two? I thought they interviewed
• 25:39
  three. I thought it was two. Oh, OK. Then it
• 25:42
  was then the first half that I heard I thought
• 25:46
  was a was a separate interview. Well, who knows?
• 25:50
  I mean, we don't. So that's the thing. You can
• 25:51
  edit man on the street interviews to make whatever
• 25:54
  you can make the viewer feel whatever you want,
• 25:56
  depending on how you edit it. So we don't actually
• 25:58
  who knows how many they interviewed. They only
• 26:00
  aired two. I'm shocked that they actually gave
• 26:04
  an opposing point of view to property tax issue.
• 26:07
  Me too. Let's move along here. I was I think
• 26:12
  this is a new no ID record for the amount of
• 26:16
  people who messaged me about this story. And
• 26:20
  it appears to be a non story. But boy, is it
• 26:24
  catching fire on the socials. Oh, I know what
• 26:27
  you're talking about. Don't don't tell me. I
• 26:30
  can guess the sheriff possibly crashing while
• 26:34
  driving drunk story. Right. Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:37
  That's been all over the. all over the Facebooks.
• 26:40
  So first of all, again, value for value where,
• 26:43
  you know, those of you who messaged me about
• 26:46
  this story, thank you for taking to not just
• 26:50
  letting it go by, but you came across it and
• 26:52
  you thought to message message us about it. Awesome.
• 26:55
  That is value returned. Appreciate it. And there
• 26:58
  was a couple that was that message like, hey,
• 27:01
  man, Sheriff Norris was, you know, DUI crashed
• 27:04
  his truck. And then they've messaged later, like,
• 27:07
  Oh, well, it turns out that might be bull crap.
• 27:10
  But it got it got mainstream coverage because
• 27:12
  it was just viral enough. So here is four news
• 27:15
  now. County Sheriff's Office is pushing back
• 27:18
  against online claims that Sheriff Bob Norris
• 27:21
  was involved in a crash earlier this month in
• 27:23
  Coeur d 'Alene. The claims stem from social media
• 27:26
  posts alleging. Norris nearly hit two people
• 27:29
  on May 16th. The sheriff's office says Norris
• 27:32
  couldn't have been involved since he was not
• 27:34
  in the state at the time. The office confirmed
• 27:37
  a crash did happen. They reached out to the driver
• 27:40
  and wished them a full recovery. They did not
• 27:43
  say what led up to that crash. All right. I already
• 27:47
  know. I want to do the Clark Fork story after
• 27:49
  this one because both of them involve a recurring
• 27:52
  theme and the recurring theme is who done it
• 27:56
  and the whodunit is a super easy mystery to solve.
• 28:01
  Who was driving? Well, it should be pretty obvious.
• 28:06
  Either it was Bob Doris or it wasn't Bob Doris.
• 28:09
  How is this a mystery? And when we cover this
• 28:12
  next story that's going to be after this one,
• 28:14
  it's all very similar. Like, well, okay, it's
• 28:17
  either it's this or this and it's super easy
• 28:19
  to verify. How is this hard? Apparently it is
• 28:23
  next to impossible and we haven't gotten to the
• 28:25
  end of the CSI episode yet where it's revealed.
• 28:28
  Here that was a very discombobulated and weird
• 28:31
  way to present from four news. Now here is a
• 28:34
  little here's a Coeur d 'Alene press article
• 28:36
  from May 30th as read by a voice from 11 Labs.
• 28:40
  The title of the article is Norris refutes DUI
• 28:44
  crash rumors. Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris
• 28:47
  refuted allegations that he was involved in a
• 28:50
  recent single vehicle crash near Raising Canes
• 28:53
  after rumors of such circulated on social media.
• 28:56
  Now, by the way, this is there's no guarantee
• 28:57
  that all of this isn't just a ad reads for raising
• 29:01
  canes. Because that's the one thing that appears.
• 29:04
  Oh, my gosh. Think about that. This is part of
• 29:07
  their native. What a brilliant. What a oh, my
• 29:10
  gosh. OK, if that is the case, hat tip, just
• 29:14
  you guys win. You win. Nice job. It's unclear
• 29:18
  who crashed their red Toyota Tundra next to raising
• 29:21
  canes, which has delicious chicken fingers. But
• 29:23
  like it's. They get a lot of coverage. And here's
• 29:26
  a Raising Canes employee talking about what he
• 29:29
  saw happen while he was on shift making that
• 29:31
  delicious chicken that everybody loves. It was
• 29:34
  really tough of this Raising Canes employee to
• 29:36
  take time out of working for Raising Canes, making
• 29:39
  Raising Canes chickens for the people who love
• 29:41
  Raising Canes. It's pretty great. Blogger Casey
• 29:45
  Whalen first shared the allegation. Yeah, I know.
• 29:49
  It's out there. Blogger Casey Whalen first shared
• 29:52
  the allegations Thursday. Publicly posting several
• 29:55
  videos on the matter including an interview with
• 29:58
  a man wearing a raising canes uniform who said
• 30:00
  he witnessed Whoa into the restaurant sign damaging
• 30:03
  it I win there is one problem with this narrative
• 30:06
  the sheriff's office said one who's released
• 30:08
  only one Sheriff Bob Norris was not in the state
• 30:11
  of Idaho on the date and time of this incident
• 30:14
  According to the cordelaine police department
• 30:16
  the crash occurred May 16th and Idaho State Police
• 30:19
  Handled the investigation the driver identified
• 30:22
  by police as Kirk Kelso was driving his vehicle
• 30:25
  during the rainstorm when he lost control of
• 30:27
  his vehicle, according to public records obtained
• 30:30
  by the press. Kelso crashed at the Raising Cane's
• 30:33
  sign and sustained a concussion, according to
• 30:35
  the ISP. He has not been charged with any crime.
• 30:39
  It wasn't even the Raising Cane sign, by the
• 30:41
  way. It was the Safeway sign. But anyway, Wayland's
• 30:44
  video circulated. Well, if it had been the Raising
• 30:45
  Cane's sign, then he would have been charged
• 30:48
  with a crime. You know it. Wayland's video circulated
• 30:51
  on social media. with one receiving more than
• 30:53
  10 ,000 views as of Friday afternoon. London
• 30:57
  Eden, the restaurant employee, told Whelan in
• 30:59
  a video interview that he pulled Norris from
• 31:02
  the vehicle after the crash and that the sheriff
• 31:04
  smelled strongly of alcohol. He also said a female
• 31:07
  passenger in the vehicle, whom Whelan implied
• 31:10
  was Norris' wife, was badly injured. Kelso was
• 31:13
  the vehicle's sole occupant, according to police.
• 31:15
  Norris said he was celebrating - What? Wait,
• 31:17
  what? Yeah, that seems to be a weird - Okay,
• 31:19
  wait a minute, wait a minute, so - What a weird
• 31:22
  way to stop and then start to two separate accounts.
• 31:28
  That's what just happened here. Right. Am I?
• 31:30
  I heard that right. Correct. They just talked
• 31:33
  to eyewitness Raising Cane's employee who says,
• 31:36
  I pulled I pulled Bob Norris from the truck and
• 31:39
  it was Bob Norris, Bob Norris. Not only that,
• 31:42
  but also but a female passenger who was banged
• 31:45
  up real bad. But and then like full stop, but
• 31:49
  no break. Kelso was the sole driver of the truck.
• 31:52
  Yep. So that's one of the main points of strangeness
• 31:56
  or that they're trying to drum up or harp on,
• 32:00
  I don't know, that the truck only had, oh, it
• 32:02
  was only the driver. And Kelso appears to be
• 32:05
  like former Coeur d 'Alene police or former sheriff's
• 32:08
  office. He's associated with law enforcement.
• 32:13
  This is precisely why we pay our 3 % increase
• 32:16
  in property taxes, Scott, to make sure things
• 32:18
  like this don't happen. For protection. Okay,
• 32:21
  here's the end of the article. Here's the end
• 32:23
  of the article. Isn't that how that works? If
• 32:24
  only we had paid more taxes! Kelso was the vehicle's
• 32:28
  sole occupant, according to police. Norris said
• 32:30
  he was celebrating his daughter's high school
• 32:32
  graduation Thursday, while rumors circulated
• 32:35
  that he had crashed a vehicle while driving drunk.
• 32:37
  The actions of this Cane's employee, keyboard
• 32:40
  warriors, and the two -bit so -called online
• 32:42
  journalists ruined what should have been a memorable
• 32:44
  evening for our family, Norris said in a news
• 32:47
  release. So that's the Portland Dress article.
• 32:51
  Yep. I wonder what they call us. I hope we I
• 32:53
  hope we rate as at least a bit and a half. Well,
• 32:56
  and we're not journalists. Let's be clear. We
• 32:58
  are not journalists. So we're like we're like
• 33:01
  five bit journalists or five bit podcasters.
• 33:04
  I don't know. I don't know what the going rate
• 33:05
  is these days. Five stars would recommend. So
• 33:08
  I asked I reached out to Seth Horst, the host
• 33:12
  of the North Idaho Experience, who is former
• 33:14
  law enforcement. And I was asking about I was
• 33:17
  like, hey, so with regard to like inter -agency
• 33:21
  coverups. Like, because what strikes me is the
• 33:23
  what makes this baloney is that the notion of
• 33:27
  ISP and other agencies all working together to
• 33:30
  cover up something like this, like cover up on
• 33:34
  behalf of Norris. And I was like, well, I'm not
• 33:36
  really sure it smells like baloney. But then
• 33:38
  again, like, I don't I'm not putting anything
• 33:39
  past anybody these days. And so Seth said, it
• 33:42
  seems this seems like a real odd one. There is
• 33:44
  no way. That you could get that many officers
• 33:48
  from different agencies to cover up anything
• 33:50
  ISP would have nothing to gain and everything
• 33:53
  to lose not a chance So that's what makes me
• 33:58
  believe this has just got to be bull crap And
• 34:01
  I'm not sure what is motivating the Raising Canes
• 34:04
  employee. Yes, Raising Canes off 95 at neater
• 34:08
  I don't know what would be motivating that person,
• 34:11
  but people do all sorts of weird things for weird
• 34:13
  reasons It's nighter by the way, that's how I
• 34:18
  know you're not from here nighter It's like when
• 34:22
  the county officer was harassing me back in 2023
• 34:27
  and I had that really lovely time with the Post
• 34:31
  Wall City PD and County PD and and he said I
• 34:34
  had been going too fast on Mulan Avenue It's
• 34:40
  Mullen dude Disney movies as it like after Captain
• 34:43
  Mullen one of the one of the guys who created
• 34:45
  history right here in the area Captain John Mullen,
• 34:48
  I think it's John Mullen. The last name was Mullen
• 34:50
  Yeah, like Milan the Disney princess. I thought
• 34:54
  dude you are not from here I'm not man. I'm from
• 34:58
  Los Angeles Wales vagina according to Ron Burgundy
• 35:04
  Okay, let's do uh, I'm gonna do the Von or be
• 35:08
  one Yeah, I definitely do but real quick to rewrite
• 35:12
  to wrap this one up Do we have a conclusive conclusion
• 35:17
  on whether this is legit or not? Because these
• 35:20
  are two completely different stories going on
• 35:23
  here. From what I can gather, as conclusive as
• 35:27
  I can get at this time, it seems like it was
• 35:31
  this Kelso guy, that his former law enforcement
• 35:34
  is just whatever, he's former law enforcement.
• 35:37
  It seems like he might have had some sort of,
• 35:39
  I don't know, a stroke or some sort of medical
• 35:41
  incident in, you know, while driving because
• 35:43
  he hit, he flew around the corner, like a nighter
• 35:48
  onto highway 95 and just didn't even, there was
• 35:52
  no brakes. There was no nothing. He just had
• 35:54
  like 50 something miles an hour in a, in a Toyota
• 35:57
  Tundra just went careening into the ditch and
• 36:00
  crash and took out like a concrete. you know,
• 36:03
  a post or whatever for a street lamp and then
• 36:07
  a smash into the concrete Safeway sign. And it
• 36:10
  just seems like he might've had some sort of
• 36:11
  incident at the wheel. And it, Bob Norris was,
• 36:15
  doesn't seem like he was the guy. There's no
• 36:17
  giant interagency coverup. And maybe, and maybe
• 36:21
  time will tell what is motivating the Raising
• 36:25
  Canes employee who gave the initial, the eyewitness
• 36:28
  employee. As a community, community, community.
• 36:32
  Did NIDR see that coming? Well, if anything comes
• 36:40
  of it, I mean, you know, we'll be sure we'll
• 36:43
  cover it here. But as of now, it's just bullshit.
• 36:45
  This would be bitchin'. If anybody, if any of
• 36:48
  you out there end up getting the dish further
• 36:51
  on this, please hit us up, because my curiosity
• 36:54
  has peaked. Peaked, I say. Yes. I think this,
• 36:57
  though, I will say that if it had indeed been
• 37:01
  Sheriff Bob Norris, we already would probably
• 37:04
  know more about it. And the press, the Coeur
• 37:07
  d 'Alene press, would not let that one go. Like
• 37:10
  they would be all over it like flies on shite.
• 37:14
  Because, you know, the former are parasites and
• 37:16
  the latter is shite and they both deserve each
• 37:18
  other. But funny enough, they both hate each
• 37:21
  other. The press is no friend of Norris and vice
• 37:24
  versa. So if Norris really was finding himself
• 37:26
  in a highly compromising career ending position,
• 37:30
  the press would be all over it, man. I mean,
• 37:32
  we'd be hearing about it for nonstop for two
• 37:36
  weeks every day, every day. So that's what leads
• 37:39
  me to believe that it's fake, fake news. It does
• 37:43
  seem like it. Oh, speaking of fake news, there's
• 37:46
  a correction I would like to make from the last
• 37:49
  show, episode 30 of No ID. It was brought to
• 37:52
  my attention by Matt Todd. the host of the ranch
• 37:55
  who texted that he said that when it was the
• 37:59
  spelling bee story where I was like, oh, did
• 38:02
  you catch that the spelling bee contestants,
• 38:05
  the local kids going to the National Spelling
• 38:06
  Bee were from Kootenai Classical Academy, which
• 38:09
  is a private school. And he said, hey, Kootenai,
• 38:13
  this wasn't the only thing he mentioned. So it
• 38:16
  wasn't like he texted me just to give me this
• 38:18
  correction, but he did say Kootenai Classical
• 38:19
  Academy, not a private school. It's open enrollment
• 38:23
  charter school. Yeah, and it's paid for by tax
• 38:25
  dollars. And I you know what? I was actually
• 38:27
  thinking on my head. I was thinking of The classical
• 38:31
  Christian Academy in Coeur d 'Alene. I just conflated
• 38:33
  them in my head, which is a private private school
• 38:37
  But Kootenai classic so Matt Todd the man with
• 38:39
  two names. He is correct It is a charter school
• 38:42
  the same way the Coeur d 'Alene Charter Academy
• 38:44
  is a charter school. And yes, they do receive
• 38:46
  some Public funding but the distinction with
• 38:50
  charter schools unlike public true blue what
• 38:53
  we would call just I guess public schools They
• 38:55
  don't receive I believe it's state funding It's
• 38:59
  one or the other they either receive federal
• 39:01
  but not state or state but not federal And I
• 39:04
  always forget which one it is. I think it was
• 39:05
  federal but not state. I'm pretty sure I believe
• 39:09
  that is correct. We see I'm gonna look at it
• 39:11
  right now or see federal but not state funding
• 39:15
  question mark It's the other way around. State
• 39:21
  and local funding, not federal. There you go.
• 39:27
  Which makes sense then. They don't have ties
• 39:28
  to the Department of Education. They don't have
• 39:31
  to deal with any of the administration or the
• 39:33
  bureaucracy at the federal level and all that
• 39:36
  that entails. So that's the distinction is their
• 39:40
  funding is exclusively state and local and of
• 39:43
  course fundraisers and stuff like that. The parents
• 39:45
  usually tend to contribute heavily. to charter
• 39:47
  schools as well. I actually went to Coeur d 'Alene
• 39:49
  Charter Academy from seventh grade, eighth grade,
• 39:51
  ninth grade, and part of 10th grade. I spent
• 39:53
  three and a half years there and my wife graduated
• 39:56
  from the Coeur d 'Alene Charter Academy and my
• 39:58
  dad built the basketball program at Coeur d 'Alene
• 40:00
  Charter Academy so that I could play ball while
• 40:02
  I was there. Nice. And then I rewarded his efforts
• 40:05
  by transferring out about a year later. Perfect.
• 40:10
  It wasn't for me. Charter Academy is a great
• 40:12
  college preparatory school if you're into that
• 40:14
  scene, but if you have any interest outside of
• 40:16
  That it's not a great school. Wait, was there
• 40:21
  somebody who was who was really like the establishment
• 40:24
  was pissed that that Todd Banducci had built
• 40:26
  the basketball program was in power. So they
• 40:28
  they they they accused him of attempting to burn
• 40:31
  down the school's basketball program. Actually,
• 40:34
  not too far off. No, really? No, the yeah. Well,
• 40:39
  the principal who was in charge at the time,
• 40:41
  Nels Patati, was actually he was like the nerds
• 40:44
  nerd. And he was at best apathetic, but probably
• 40:50
  more antipathetic towards sports as any, you
• 40:55
  know, nerd tends to be, you know, you always
• 40:57
  know who got picked last for sports and they
• 40:59
  carry it with them forever, wherever they go.
• 41:02
  And they kind of fought my dad the whole way.
• 41:05
  Some people pushed hard in our favor and but
• 41:07
  Nels Patati and a couple others fought against
• 41:09
  it. But, you know, we got it going and it was
• 41:11
  cool. It was cool, man. It was a big deal putting
• 41:14
  together a basketball program. It's no small
• 41:15
  thing. Dad credit to my dad for that. I don't
• 41:18
  know if he listens to these but if you do good
• 41:19
  job dad So the nerd tried to take out the jock
• 41:23
  the actually, you know reminds me of reminds
• 41:25
  you of Jeremy Piven's character from old school
• 41:28
  This is me leaving yeah, whatever nerd Hey, it's
• 41:36
  younger brother cheese cheese We just needed
• 41:42
  a tank to show up and really mess stuff up. Where
• 41:45
  were you, Will Ferrell? Maintain our composure.
• 41:49
  Actually, funny story, because my dad actually
• 41:51
  was, he was basically a rocket scientist. He
• 41:55
  went to the Air Force Academy and studied multiple
• 41:57
  languages and did trigonometry and quantum physics.
• 42:00
  And I mean, it was an officer doing rocketry
• 42:03
  type stuff, intense stuff. So he was, but he
• 42:06
  also played football, basketball, rugby. He boxed,
• 42:09
  you know, so that was my dad. He was what happened
• 42:13
  to you man. Geez. I don't know. I'm I'm a disappointment.
• 42:17
  I made peace with it ten years ago I'm a podcaster.
• 42:21
  That's what I do. There you go. You proud of
• 42:23
  me now dad You proud of me now? Let's do the
• 42:28
  Bonner be the story up in your neck of the woods
• 42:32
  Yay. All right. So speaking of things that don't
• 42:35
  make sense, but should be really easy mysteries
• 42:37
  to solve I should put that x -files File back
• 42:40
  on, hold on. So while you're pulling that up,
• 42:43
  do you want to share the audio? Sure. This is
• 42:46
  the Bonner B, which is a Hagadon media owned
• 42:49
  property. So all these different papers that
• 42:52
  purport to be local and on the surface seem like
• 42:54
  they are, are all owned by the same conglomerate
• 42:57
  and run by the ghost of Duane Hagadon, who reportedly
• 43:01
  had an office off of Neater at one point. Anyway,
• 43:04
  this is an article entitled I'll kill you. That
• 43:07
  was another. Oh, by the way, I was also corrected
• 43:09
  by another producer for saying entitled when
• 43:13
  I said, hey, go check out episode 19 of this
• 43:15
  show. And so you can see what the Idaho Statesman
• 43:18
  is all about. And that show is entitled Jansport
• 43:21
  Inferno. This particular producer said it's not
• 43:24
  entitled, it's titled. Mr. Grammar Nazi, and
• 43:27
  I said, you know what? You're right. So this
• 43:30
  article is titled, The BCRCC Declares Clark Fork
• 43:34
  Seat Vacant, and it is as read by a voice from
• 43:36
  11 Labs because it is from a print newspaper.
• 43:55
  as defined in Idaho code, and declared the seat
• 43:58
  vacant. Rudd said Clark Fork community members
• 44:00
  raised questions about Heisel's residency and
• 44:03
  whether the address on his candidate filing aligned
• 44:05
  with where he lived. To be a qualified elector
• 44:08
  as a precinct committeeman, a person must be
• 44:10
  a registered voter in the precinct for at least
• 44:12
  six months prior to the election. Heisel, who
• 44:15
  received the 54 .1 % votes to defeat incumbent
• 44:19
  Dmitry Borisov in the May 19th primary election,
• 44:22
  owns property on Ninth Avenue in Clark Fork.
• 44:25
  but told the Daily Bee that he rents that property
• 44:27
  out. The address on Ninth Avenue is the one that
• 44:30
  Heisel listed on his candidate filing and voter
• 44:32
  registration as his residency. Heisel told the
• 44:35
  Daily Bee he keeps personal belongings and furniture
• 44:38
  at a house on First Avenue in Clark Fork, which
• 44:40
  is owned by his parents. In the executive session,
• 44:43
  Rudd said that Heisel acknowledged that the residence
• 44:45
  on his voter registration is not where he lives,
• 44:48
  and the committee determined he did not meet
• 44:50
  the qualified elector requirements. Rudd said
• 44:53
  that the BCRCC will appoint a new qualified elector
• 44:56
  for the Clark Fork Precinct at a future meeting.
• 44:59
  Scott Herndon, who has recently elected the Republican
• 45:01
  nominee for the District 1 State Senate seat,
• 45:04
  said Friday that the matter has been sent to
• 45:06
  the Bonner County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
• 45:08
  He said a false residency on a voter registration
• 45:11
  form can constitute felony perjury under Idaho
• 45:14
  code. Heisel said in his response to the challenge
• 45:17
  that he has acted in good faith throughout the
• 45:19
  entire process, and requested that the challenge
• 45:21
  be denied on a county level. So this is the town
• 45:25
  of Clark Fork, which is up off the northeast
• 45:28
  end of Lake Ponderay, and this is your neck of
• 45:30
  the woods. Yeah, that's where I live. So, you
• 45:33
  know, whatever, I'm doxing myself, but I don't
• 45:35
  care. Hold on. I pulled up something else for
• 45:37
  this. This could be good. I don't know if you
• 45:39
  ever watch sci fi channel, but if you did, you're
• 45:41
  going to recognize this theme song. Yeah, the
• 45:47
  Outer Limits. So there is nothing wrong with
• 45:50
  your television. Your listeners slash producers.
• 45:54
  We have another mystery to solve. A real, genuine
• 45:59
  whodunit. The question is, does Jensen Heisel
• 46:04
  live or not live where he's supposed to live
• 46:06
  in order to be a precinct committeeman? That's
• 46:11
  it. Doesn't seem very difficult to prove, but
• 46:15
  then again, maybe Sheriff Norris is living in
• 46:17
  that house off 9th. Hey, maybe he's driving that
• 46:21
  house off 9th. You know what they're thinking
• 46:25
  about? They're thinking about opening up a Raising
• 46:26
  Canes in Clark Fork. Oh, I swear, if a Raising
• 46:31
  Canes goes up in the next couple of months, we're
• 46:33
  going to know this whole our lives are a lie.
• 46:36
  This whole thing is a sham. Simulation is a simulation.
• 46:40
  Oh, my God. Raising Canes or it must be like
• 46:44
  the the nodes from which should operate or something.
• 46:47
  I don't know. I don't know the technical terms,
• 46:49
  but here's the skinny. All right. That sucks.
• 46:52
  I thought this is going to I forgot the old school
• 46:54
  is just narrative. There's the signpost up ahead.
• 46:58
  Next stop, the Twilight Zone. Dude, so I nailed
• 47:02
  it with the X -Files file. Not so much with the
• 47:04
  outer limits. I thought it'd be cool. Didn't
• 47:06
  work as well as I thought in my mind. But really,
• 47:08
  that's it. That's the long and the short of it.
• 47:10
  So it's a huge controversy, supposedly, depending
• 47:12
  on who you ask. Yeah. All 12 people who live
• 47:14
  up there are in a tizzy. There are dozens of
• 47:19
  us. Dozens. We will not stand for this. And poor
• 47:25
  Heisel's over here just like, you know how much
• 47:27
  rejection I face every day. It's making headlines.
• 47:32
  The fact that this is a headline is kind of goofy,
• 47:34
  but OK. And if you listen to the article again,
• 47:39
  I'm more of a reader than I am a listener when
• 47:40
  it comes to like actually reading an article.
• 47:43
  I don't do books on tape. I can't do it. I got
• 47:45
  to read it to really process it. But for you
• 47:47
  guys who listen to the 11 labs telling of it
• 47:50
  or find the article yourself. and if you read
• 47:52
  it and you know what to look for there's three
• 47:54
  or four things that you notice right off the
• 47:56
  bat and it's just such classic mainstream media
• 47:58
  yellow journalism uh combined with the exactly
• 48:02
  what you'd expect responses of the npcs who live
• 48:05
  and vote and drive near us it's crazy so what
• 48:09
  do they drive on primary election happens please
• 48:14
  don't take our roads please don't take our roads
• 48:16
  they drive on the things we couldn't possibly
• 48:18
  ever build if you didn't steal my money and threaten
• 48:21
  me with my house that's the flat surface that
• 48:24
  we can't figure out how to build without extortion.
• 48:27
  But that's another topic for another time or
• 48:30
  for every time. But I digress. Primaries happened
• 48:34
  a couple of weeks ago. In the primaries, we vote
• 48:36
  for precinct committee men at the county level.
• 48:38
  Every county has a precinct committee. The precinct
• 48:40
  committees are important because precinct committee
• 48:42
  men or women, I guess, if you're into that sort
• 48:44
  of thing, have a say in ultimately who ends up
• 48:49
  on the ballot for primaries. Now, they don't
• 48:51
  get to tell you that you can't be on the ballot
• 48:53
  for primaries. But without the endorsement of
• 48:55
  the precinct committee in the county for the
• 48:57
  district you are going to represent, you're going
• 49:00
  to have a really hard time of it. Having the
• 49:02
  Republican or the Democrat brand behind you makes
• 49:04
  a big difference. They also pass resolutions.
• 49:07
  And in general, they just sort of they represent
• 49:08
  the people, and they represent the party brand,
• 49:10
  and they're supposed to kind of move the ball
• 49:12
  forward. And they also help run elections and
• 49:15
  do ballot stuffing. Sorry, not ballot stuffing,
• 49:19
  but like. campaign stuffing parties, and they
• 49:22
  walk neighborhoods, they knock doors, they're
• 49:25
  the eyes and the ears and the feet and the knees.
• 49:29
  So it's the lowest kind of level you usually
• 49:32
  start with to get involved into politics, but
• 49:33
  it also is an incredibly and surprisingly at
• 49:36
  times influential thing. So it matters. Anyways,
• 49:40
  the guy in my district, Clark Fork, I didn't
• 49:44
  vote for him, but I don't know him. I voted for
• 49:46
  Dmitry Borisov, the guy who lost, because I prefer
• 49:49
  Dmitry. But that's OK, no biggie. This dude who
• 49:52
  won, Jensen Heisel, after he won, some complaints
• 49:55
  were filed that he's representing the district
• 49:59
  that I'm in, the Clark Fork district, but he
• 50:01
  doesn't live here. Or at least the address doesn't
• 50:03
  match with where he lives. So the Bonner County
• 50:07
  Precinct Committee looks it up and goes, yeah.
• 50:10
  yeah this doesn't match this doesn't track there's
• 50:12
  stuff going on here that doesn't make any sense
• 50:14
  and they investigated it and decided they didn't
• 50:16
  like what they found and on friday just this
• 50:19
  last friday they voted to deque disqualified
• 50:22
  jensen heisel from holding the seat so now the
• 50:25
  seat is open and the committee the precinct committee
• 50:28
  will now get together and figure out who they
• 50:30
  want to fill the slot that'll probably take a
• 50:32
  week or two uh they have to figure out a who's
• 50:35
  dumb enough to do it and uh b you know, if they
• 50:39
  if they like him enough or her enough to do it,
• 50:42
  and so on and so forth. So that'll be a process.
• 50:45
  But the way the press is showing this, it's so
• 50:48
  obviously against the BRCC or BCRCC, which is
• 50:52
  still tentatively run by mostly true conservatives.
• 50:55
  So the press hates them. So if you read this
• 50:59
  article, the way it's framed is the BCRCC, Bonner
• 51:03
  County Precinct Committee, Bonner Republican,
• 51:04
  blah, blah, blah. Anyways, they're the bad guys
• 51:06
  for making this an issue. Meanwhile, poor Jensen
• 51:09
  Heisel is the victim for not following the law.
• 51:14
  And it's interesting that in this article, two
• 51:18
  different Heisel -owned properties are mentioned,
• 51:20
  one on 9th Street and one on 10th Street or something,
• 51:23
  one where his parents live and one that he rents
• 51:26
  out to someone else. He does not live at either
• 51:28
  of these properties. And one of them he used
• 51:32
  for his address to file and to run. curiously
• 51:38
  omitted is where he actually lives. This should
• 51:43
  be super easy to solve in five minutes. Do you
• 51:48
  live in the district? Yes or no. Show us your
• 51:52
  address. Like, ta -da! Mystery solved. But nope.
• 51:58
  Instead, the press writes a whole article about
• 51:59
  it, framing him as the victim, talking about
• 52:02
  how he owns a bunch of property in Clark Fork,
• 52:04
  but we never hear about where he actually lives.
• 52:07
  So to what end? like to make him the victim in
• 52:12
  the Bonner County Republican precinct committee,
• 52:14
  the bad guys. So the establishment wants this
• 52:17
  guy in there. Is that the conclusion? I don't
• 52:21
  know if that's the case, but I do know that the
• 52:23
  establishment and the mainstream media definitely
• 52:24
  want to do take any opportunity to paint Scott
• 52:28
  Herndon and Rudd and the again, the main, the
• 52:32
  conservative led BCRCC as the bad guys any chance
• 52:36
  they get. So they do this in Kootenai County
• 52:38
  all the time too. The Coeur d 'Alene Press did
• 52:39
  this with the Kootenai County Precinct Committee
• 52:42
  all the time. Things that were ceremonial, it's
• 52:47
  not the word I want, but procedural, things that
• 52:49
  were law, bylaws, things that, you know, you
• 52:51
  got to do a certain way. Well, if the Kootenai
• 52:54
  County Precinct Committee would address those
• 52:57
  issues, and as they rightly should, then the
• 53:00
  Coeur d 'Alene Press would report as, report
• 53:02
  it as if they were the bullies as if like how
• 53:05
  dare they bring up these issues of decorum or
• 53:08
  these issues of of laws and bylaw and you know
• 53:10
  how how dare they and whoever they were going
• 53:12
  after if they were going after somebody who was
• 53:15
  a north idaho republican you know nir person
• 53:17
  that the press loves well then they got painted
• 53:20
  as the victim and the cooney county precinct
• 53:22
  committee got painted as the bullies and the
• 53:24
  same thing is happening here now i don't know
• 53:26
  jensen heisel personally i don't know his politics
• 53:29
  I don't know if he's a good guy or if he's an
• 53:31
  asshole or what. What I do know is this should
• 53:34
  be simple to solve. If the guy lives in his district
• 53:37
  and he has legal residence, this should be a
• 53:40
  non -issue. If he doesn't, he can't hold the
• 53:43
  seat. Legally, he can't hold the seat. But man,
• 53:47
  people are outraged. You get on Facebook and
• 53:50
  people are like, how could the BCRCC do this?
• 53:53
  This is awful. We don't even live in a democracy
• 53:56
  anymore. And then you got a few like, and they're
• 53:59
  the majority, the end. And it's mainly again,
• 54:01
  it falls into two categories. So the people who
• 54:03
  are outraged by this fall into one of two categories.
• 54:06
  Category one is the people who voted for Heisel
• 54:08
  Jensen, Jensen Heisel. And they're just mad that
• 54:10
  their boy can't sit there now. And okay, I get
• 54:13
  that category two are the NPCs who didn't even
• 54:16
  clearly didn't even read the article. They just
• 54:18
  read the headline or they read parts of the article
• 54:20
  and just don't know how to read the lines. And
• 54:24
  they're just outraged by it. And then there's
• 54:27
  the third demographic who's like me, who I can't
• 54:30
  resist, and I get on there and I'm like, hey,
• 54:32
  so three things to think about, none of you are
• 54:33
  thinking about. Like, this should be easy to
• 54:35
  solve. Where does he live? And then it's that
• 54:38
  easy. Legally, it has to be this way. So like
• 54:41
  the guy or not, what are the point of the rules?
• 54:45
  So that makes me think, well, there's a fourth
• 54:47
  category then. The fourth category, it might
• 54:50
  even be the biggest one. They're actually fake.
• 54:53
  These comments are fake. They're not they're
• 54:55
  not from real people. It's just phony, baloney.
• 54:57
  Oh, you think you think you think the bots are
• 55:02
  alive and well on the on the press article posts?
• 55:05
  I think they I think they're alive and well on
• 55:07
  every post that that happens on all of social
• 55:09
  media. I think most of social media is fake and
• 55:12
  gay. Well, I don't agree. I don't disagree with
• 55:16
  you there. I think locally the odds of there
• 55:19
  being maybe less, you know, maybe less percentage
• 55:23
  up here. Much less. Yeah. I mean, we're talking
• 55:25
  local Clark Fork politics, man. Yeah. Maybe I
• 55:27
  guess in an instance like that, like you just
• 55:29
  can't do too many fake profiles because like
• 55:32
  the communities are small enough to where most
• 55:34
  people know most people. And so how many how
• 55:36
  many, you know, hairy paratestes can possibly
• 55:39
  be commenting on these things. And then and then
• 55:42
  and then coming across like someone who didn't
• 55:44
  even do anything besides read the headline. It's
• 55:46
  also really sad to consider that there are real
• 55:49
  people out there who. Uh, they do just read the
• 55:52
  headline and then they do mash their keyboards
• 55:55
  and like, okay. Really? You just really that
• 55:59
  lame and fake and gay you're faking gay, but
• 56:02
  you're real. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh,
• 56:06
  I'm sure that it's a mixture of everything, but
• 56:08
  I would say let fewer bots than anything else.
• 56:11
  If, if any truly, I mean, you know, you look,
• 56:12
  you look at the, uh, the comment section and
• 56:15
  it's. I think it's pretty obvious that it's mostly
• 56:18
  people who live here who are just, you know,
• 56:20
  MPCs are going to MPC. They're not that different
• 56:22
  from bots in a lot of ways. Distinction without
• 56:26
  a difference. They have blood coursing through
• 56:31
  their veins and pumping hearts. But beyond that,
• 56:33
  they're basically automatons. But it just blows
• 56:36
  my mind how we could be so outraged over something
• 56:39
  that should be. It's procedural. That's it. It
• 56:42
  is strictly procedural, like. How are we pissed
• 56:45
  off over this? And also, how is this a mystery?
• 56:48
  But there we are. That's the world we live in.
• 56:50
  So whoever fills the slot, they're going to come
• 56:54
  in already in just in a situation where there's
• 56:57
  going to be at least two more press articles
• 56:59
  about it. And whoever fills the slot is going
• 57:01
  to be accused of who knows what, you know, backroom
• 57:04
  deals are going to be accused of being a puppet
• 57:07
  for the current regime or, you know, this whole
• 57:09
  thing was orchestrated and they better be ready.
• 57:15
  Well, you know what I'm ready for I'm ready for
• 57:18
  mid show and a little value for value. How about
• 57:21
  you? Hell, yeah. Yeah Value for value as mentioned
• 57:26
  a couple times throughout the first part of this
• 57:28
  program is the model that this show runs on No
• 57:31
  idea is a value for value proposition Which means
• 57:34
  there are no advertisers and no sponsors other
• 57:38
  than of course raising canes Yes, raising canes
• 57:42

  link and otherwise let them know that this program
• 59:25
  exists and they might like it. Or even if they

  don't like it, it'll at least help them stay
• 59:29
  up on what's going on up in Idaho. I find it's
• 59:34
  best to just lead with this listen to this awesome
• 59:37
  podcast and if you don't then you don't love
• 59:39
  me or The other way that I prefer is and if you
• 59:43
  don't then I don't love you Emotional blackmail
• 59:46
  is absolutely value returned I toxic at all I
• 59:53
  do a newsletter that comes out once a week and
• 59:57
  just previewing the topics of that week's episode.
• 1:00:00
  And you can sign up for that newsletter. They're
• 1:00:02
  also on noidshow .com. This is all at noidshow
• 1:00:05
  .com. And you guys should because the art alone,
• 1:00:10
  just that all on its own is worth the price of
• 1:00:13
  admission, which is free, by the way. For those
• 1:00:16
  of you who like to leech off of our magnificent
• 1:00:19
  talents, the price is free. Are you executive
• 1:00:22
  producers? That's a different story, but the
• 1:00:23
  art alone is worth it. I'm kidding. I love you
• 1:00:27
  all. I'm just feeling spicy. Speaking of, uh,
• 1:00:32
  treasure and executive producers, you are all
• 1:00:34
  producers of this program. Uh, yep. If you can
• 1:00:39
  measure the treasure there are measures for treasure
• 1:00:42
  at no ID show calm there like we mentioned earlier
• 1:00:44
  There are some up classic no ID amounts if you'd
• 1:00:47
  like to become an executive producer of the show
• 1:00:49
  by returning value in the form of treasure That
• 1:00:53
  can be a dollar it could be a million dollars
• 1:00:56
  Value means many different things to many different
• 1:00:58
  people and we love numerology and as such let's
• 1:01:01
  do this week's executive producers of whom there
• 1:01:06
  are dos And the first one is numerology. Thirty
• 1:01:13
  three dollars from. Oh, hey, what are you talking
• 1:01:16
  about? Thirty three. Repeated executive producer
• 1:01:20
  Jack Kramer is back with thirty three dollars
• 1:01:22
  and his note says catching the X in especially.
• 1:01:28
  That's what tickled Jack's funny bone from last
• 1:01:31
  week's episode. And that was a especially donation.
• 1:01:34
  So here's this is for you, Jack, especially.
• 1:01:36
  especially than it could be especially hard.
• 1:01:39
  As professor of political science, Jacqueline
• 1:01:41
  Kettler. Uh -huh. That is a university professor
• 1:01:44
  saying especially repeatedly on the National
• 1:01:47
  Treasure NPR. Especially especially than it could
• 1:01:49
  be especially hard. Especially. Yeah. You need
• 1:01:53
  an you need an especial kind of baseball mitt
• 1:01:55
  to catch that kind of language. So that was another
• 1:01:58
  thing that Matt Todd mentioned was he said that
• 1:02:00
  that Jackie, as he called her, has been on his
• 1:02:03
  show a couple of few times, and he enjoys her
• 1:02:06
  as a person, and I'm sure she actually does sound
• 1:02:08
  like a really nice lady. I'm just taking exception
• 1:02:11
  to, or at least pointing out, the notion that
• 1:02:14
  a university professor, that you've achieved
• 1:02:17
  that level of the academic ladder, and you're
• 1:02:19
  saying especially, man, it's just not a good
• 1:02:22
  look. Yeah, I got nothing, I agree. Right, totally.
• 1:02:29
  Well, Jack's got something, and he had 33 bucks,
• 1:02:32
  and we thank you, Jack, for that. And we are
• 1:02:36
  as annoyed as you are. Yep. And next up is I
• 1:02:42
  can't remember. This might be maybe only like
• 1:02:44
  the second or third female executive producer.
• 1:02:49
  And this is from Katie Prescott, who sent us
• 1:02:52
  a shiny schmeckle, which is that is nine, nine,
• 1:02:58
  nine. And Katie said. If Boise can give $200
• 1:03:04
  ,000 to some bum for, quote, severance, I can
• 1:03:09
  send a shiny schmeckle into the No I .D. show.
• 1:03:12
  Now that is sound logic. Katie Prescott, way
• 1:03:15
  to go. Yeah. Very sound logic. Yeah. And that.
• 1:03:20
  You get a bell. Couple of bells. That is excellent.
• 1:03:23
  Excellent. Thank you, Katie. I love the way her
• 1:03:27
  brain works. What she thought to do upon hearing
• 1:03:30
  that. was send us some cash. That's awesome.
• 1:03:35
  And so take note, by the way, that that is between
• 1:03:38
  a dude named Jeff. He clipped that in his Clipperoni
• 1:03:43
  Pepperoni. And Katie Prescott sent us a shiny
• 1:03:48
  Schmeckle. So obviously that resonated. Yeah.
• 1:03:52
  Well, it should. And I'm glad it did. Again,
• 1:03:56
  it's one of those things that most people, NPCs,
• 1:03:58
  man, they don't know, they don't care. They're
• 1:04:00
  not interested in learning about it. You know,
• 1:04:03
  bureaucrats and people who work for the government,
• 1:04:04
  they are heroes, tireless heroes and leader,
• 1:04:07
  leader, leaders. But when you really break it
• 1:04:10
  down, most of the time, they're just people just
• 1:04:13
  like us who make way too much money, providing
• 1:04:15
  very little value to society. And typically just
• 1:04:19
  telling you what you can and can't do with your
• 1:04:20
  own stuff, while also stealing your stuff. I
• 1:04:24
  like your taxes. But don't forget, society would
• 1:04:27
  collapse without them. I like your taxes. There
• 1:04:31
  you go. Keep your eyes off my taxes. I'm happy
• 1:04:40
  to be a bureaucrat. That's Lori Wolf. That is
• 1:04:48
  Lori Wolf who does budget stuff for the state
• 1:04:51
  of Idaho with the with the king governor. It
• 1:04:56
  hurts. It physically hurts to hear that. I'm
• 1:04:59
  trying to see if I have a sound bite that really.
• 1:05:01
  It really puts into perspective. No, I don't
• 1:05:04
  have anything for this. I probably do. So about
• 1:05:06
  killing tyrants, but oh, well. Oh, I'm shocked.
• 1:05:10
  OK, go to no ID show. If you'd like to become
• 1:05:17
  an executive producer, there are clickable buttons
• 1:05:19
  for all that stuff or for any form of time and
• 1:05:22
  talent return. So thank you very kindly, everybody.
• 1:05:26
  Guys. Yes. Yeah. It's time then for second half
• 1:05:30
  a show. Which which means DJ Paul. Oh, wait,
• 1:05:34
  are we taking a taking a potty break? Yeah, okay,
• 1:05:37
  so Do do do do do do I I have decided it's not
• 1:05:43
  a song I had originally planned for ever actually
• 1:05:48
  but after listening to the The X Files mystery
• 1:05:53
  with Bob Norris and the Outer Limits mystery
• 1:05:56
  with Clark Fork. I I think this makes sense.
• 1:05:59
  It's a yeah just people who don't know which
• 1:06:02
  way is up. So here we go. tell you all the things
• 1:07:18
  that you wanna hear from me too the one that's
• 1:07:26
  lost here you say you spend the day on and we
• 1:07:31
  can just play i'm sure you're really nice but
• 1:07:35
  remember your name and i kinda hate myself for
• 1:07:39
  leaving in this place last night was it with
• 1:07:59
  you or were you with me i'm so sick of this This
• 1:08:04
  is ridiculous think my liver is bout to give
• 1:08:07
  in this pretty eminent walls closing in space
• 1:08:10
  limited anything to fill this hole of emptiness
• 1:08:13
  now I'm on to this way to I just wanna know the
• 1:08:21
  stress is gonna end Love the way she make me
• 1:08:23
  say ah again Though it's not a man told I'm honoring
• 1:08:27
  Fly away and stop and then I start again Steady
• 1:08:30
  nodding man, I'm a goner if I don't find what
• 1:08:32
  I be searching all up in All the bottles and
• 1:08:35
  pretty models and Just a way to leave and step
• 1:08:38
  up out of me Drink a smoke or needle in the artery
• 1:08:41
  Tell my honesty and my modesty Disappear while
• 1:08:44
  I am on this Odyssey all I want to do is see
• 1:08:47
  it clear trying to get to anywhere but here I
• 1:09:32
  hear a gift of gab in there. You did. Yeah, my
• 1:09:36
  man This is why we're friends Scott. Nice job.
• 1:09:39
  Damn, man. I like I love you. You are at least
• 1:09:42
  my third best friend At least that means I might
• 1:09:46
  even be number two Dude, you rank top three take
• 1:09:49
  it while you can get it. How's that? I know a
• 1:09:51
  lot of people. Hey you do Wow. Yeah. Oh Put on
• 1:10:12
  the gloves let's go gonna need them in a bloody
• 1:10:16
  some knuckles today I'm wrapping my fist with
• 1:10:19
  a white tape screw gloves. Oh, yeah Put in your
• 1:10:24
  mouthpiece Rubbing my shoulders. Oh good. Let's
• 1:10:30
  get a bucket to spit into you. You might need
• 1:10:32
  it Do you remember all the riots in 2020? I have
• 1:10:41
  which farm remembers I cannot forget no matter
• 1:10:44
  how hard I try. Well there were a lot and some
• 1:10:49
  of them were pretty big and a lot of them were
• 1:10:52
  ironic to the max because it was a lot of imported
• 1:10:56
  like bust in white people. Oh yeah. Trying to
• 1:11:00
  represent Black Lives Matters while they set
• 1:11:04
  black neighborhoods and black businesses on fire.
• 1:11:07
  You know things that make sense if you don't
• 1:11:09
  think about it. So fast forward to now. and anybody
• 1:11:12
  who actually still remembers or thinks it's talk
• 1:11:15
  worthy, which is very, very way too few of us.
• 1:11:20
  And there's an interesting question that's that's
• 1:11:22
  been asked in a recent poll from the it's a presidential
• 1:11:27
  election study in 2024. Now, why they asked this
• 1:11:30
  in the presidential election study, I do not
• 1:11:32
  know. But hey, there's a lot of things I don't
• 1:11:34
  know. And the question is, they ask respondents
• 1:11:39
  to estimate in dollar terms, the amount of damage
• 1:11:43
  that was done by the George Floyd slash Black
• 1:11:47
  Lives Matter protests in 2020. And a really interesting
• 1:11:51
  thing occurs. But before I tell you the interesting
• 1:11:55
  thing, first, how much damage in dollar terms
• 1:11:59
  do you think was done? And this is in cities
• 1:12:02
  coast to coast, like the total amount of damage
• 1:12:05
  and destruction, property destruction? Yeah,
• 1:12:09
  as far as I can tell it doesn't narrow it down
• 1:12:11
  to the st. Louis stuff or to the Wisconsin stuff
• 1:12:14
  It just said the poll was just it says caused
• 1:12:18
  by the George Floyd slash Black Lives Matter
• 1:12:20
  protests in 2020 So it is just in 2020 though
• 1:12:24
  But it is not exclusive to like st. Louis and
• 1:12:29
  and Wisconsin Right. Um, yeah, so that's gonna
• 1:12:33
  be I'm sure it's based on like insurance claim
• 1:12:36
  data, I'm sure is where the number comes from.
• 1:12:40
  I'm going to say probably, let's say like 1 .4
• 1:12:44
  billion. I'm going to give it to you. I mean,
• 1:12:49
  you're off by a 0 .4, but whatever. What's the
• 1:12:53
  number cited? You're way in the minority though.
• 1:12:57
  Okay. So the number is over a billion, but it
• 1:13:02
  hovers around a billion. It says over a billion.
• 1:13:04
  So I'm going to give it to you because I'm cool.
• 1:13:08
  But an interesting thing occurs when you break
• 1:13:13
  it down by political affiliation and they break
• 1:13:16
  it down three ways, liberal, moderate and conservative.
• 1:13:20
  What percentage out of 100 % of liberals got
• 1:13:27
  that right? You know, I actually think it goes
• 1:13:35
  the other way. Cause this is that there's been
• 1:13:38
  a lot of sort of counterintuitive stuff in this,
• 1:13:40
  in this particular game. And also as I, because
• 1:13:42
  I'm using that as my jumping off point, I'm like,
• 1:13:45
  well, probably lefties would overestimate not
• 1:13:52
  underestimate by a lot. And I don't know, 85
• 1:13:58
  % of them overestimated something like that.
• 1:14:09
  So, so horribly wrong. In fact, you out -thought
• 1:14:13
  yourself, Scott. You out -thought yourself in
• 1:14:15
  the wrong direction. No, sir. 94 % of liberal
• 1:14:21
  respondents responded that they thought the damage
• 1:14:23
  was less than a billion dollars. And while that
• 1:14:27
  may not seem like important or significant, when
• 1:14:29
  you break it down further, we're going to go
• 1:14:31
  like this. 28 % of liberals responded. 28 % that
• 1:14:35
  they thought the damage was less than a million
• 1:14:38
  dollars. 41 % of liberal respondents said they
• 1:14:45
  thought it was in between $1 million and $10
• 1:14:47
  million. So 69 % think it was less than $10 million.
• 1:14:56
  That's got to be a function of the media and
• 1:15:01
  their algo feeding them. Yeah, damn you! That
• 1:15:05
  was going to be my follow -up question. You suck,
• 1:15:09
  but you're so awesome. That was part three. You
• 1:15:11
  jumped the gun, asshole. You're the worst. Why
• 1:15:13
  do I even do this? It's like I've lost all purpose
• 1:15:17
  in my life here. This is ridiculous. Why do I
• 1:15:20
  even do this? You know, I try and I try and I
• 1:15:23
  find cool things and I set it up for you and
• 1:15:25
  you can't even let me set it up. You just got
• 1:15:27
  to knock it down before I even set it up. You're
• 1:15:28
  like my one year old when I'm trying to build
• 1:15:30
  blocks for him. He just knocks everything down
• 1:15:32
  and he's all adorable and cute and smart and
• 1:15:35
  just doesn't care about my feelings. Yeah. No.
• 1:15:41
  So that was the damn it, man. That was the punchline.
• 1:15:44
  Okay. So When they broke it down politically,
• 1:15:49
  15%, but conservatives actually didn't do tons
• 1:15:52
  better. Only 15 % of conservatives said it was
• 1:15:54
  over a billion. So to everyone was underestimating
• 1:15:57
  it. It was more of an equal spread though. Only,
• 1:16:00
  only 11 % of conservatives said less than a million.
• 1:16:03
  30 % of conservatives said one to 10 million,
• 1:16:05
  10 to 30 % said 10 to 100 million. 13 percent
• 1:16:10
  said 100 million to a billion and 15 percent.
• 1:16:12
  This is all conservatives now I'm talking about
• 1:16:14
  said over a billion. So conservatives did better
• 1:16:16
  by an order of two and a half. I mean, two, two
• 1:16:19
  point five times better than the, you know, six
• 1:16:22
  percent versus 15 percent. But it's just wild.
• 1:16:26
  Moderates weren't much better. Moderates were
• 1:16:28
  seven percent. And then the punch line here,
• 1:16:32
  there was a follow up question and a follow up
• 1:16:36
  graph to this. And what they did was they measured
• 1:16:40
  the level of trust placed in the mainstream media.
• 1:16:47
  How much do you trust journalism in America?
• 1:16:52
  And I kid you not, in complete direct correlation,
• 1:16:57
  the farther to the left you go, as you identify
• 1:17:00
  as a liberal, and those people who said they
• 1:17:03
  thought the damage was less than a million, on
• 1:17:05
  a scale of one to six, their trust level, their
• 1:17:08
  average trust level, 4 .7. Then on the opposite
• 1:17:13
  end, and it ratchets down, it goes then to 4
• 1:17:15
  .3 for those people who thought 1 million to
• 1:17:18
  10 million trust level, then trust level of 3
• 1:17:21
  .8 for people who guessed 10 million to 100 million
• 1:17:25
  in damages, then trust level of 3 .3 for those
• 1:17:29
  who said 100 million to a billion in damages,
• 1:17:31
  and then trust level of 3 .2 for those who responded
• 1:17:35
  that damages had to have been over a billion
• 1:17:37
  dollars. So it directly correlates with your
• 1:17:40
  lack of trust or your or your trust in the modern
• 1:17:45
  mainstream media. Yeah. And how you got the answer
• 1:17:48
  right or wrong. Yeah. Well, a couple of things
• 1:17:50
  stand out. For one, the the percentages of like,
• 1:17:54
  you know, quote, conservatives or Republicans
• 1:17:56
  that you just read off, man, just goes to show
• 1:17:57
  you how much of that set consumes mainstream
• 1:18:00
  media, too. Thirty freaking percent is one to
• 1:18:03
  ten million dollars. 30%. Yeah, like in one night.
• 1:18:07
  I don't know how you could do that. You know,
• 1:18:09
  you watch for one night. If you just watched
• 1:18:12
  the one hour Fox News special even on on what
• 1:18:15
  was going on and you saw any of the video footage,
• 1:18:18
  you would have to immediately know that's that's
• 1:18:21
  hundreds of millions of dollars in damage that's
• 1:18:23
  going on right now in St. Louis alone. But man,
• 1:18:27
  when I saw that come through and I found and
• 1:18:29
  I found that stuff, I just like I. saw some of
• 1:18:32
  it come through into an email for me because
• 1:18:33
  I subscribed to different emails that bring this
• 1:18:35
  sort of information to me. And then I did a little
• 1:18:37
  digging on my own and it was just like, Oh, I
• 1:18:39
  got to share this with Scott. I mean, and, and
• 1:18:42
  the other part too, where the, the low end of
• 1:18:44
  the trust scale is over three out of six. So
• 1:18:48
  in other words, you trust, you trust mainstream
• 1:18:50
  media more than half the time and yet, and you're
• 1:18:52
  the skeptic. Yeah. Oh, okay. It's wow. It's amazing
• 1:19:00
  that so I I always use the term that the you
• 1:19:03
  know, the more you get to understand Kind of
• 1:19:06
  the average human being who lives out there the
• 1:19:08
  more you question how they don't drive themselves
• 1:19:10
  into the ditch on the way home Every day like
• 1:19:12
  how do they manage to stay on the road? But we
• 1:19:15
  really solved that mystery today as well. They
• 1:19:17
  don't they just crash into raising cane signs.
• 1:19:19
  There you go Well, just think, if it wasn't for
• 1:19:26
  the state and the roads, there'd be nothing to
• 1:19:31
  careen off of into a ditch. How could we crash
• 1:19:35
  into Raising Cane's wonderful chicken house if
• 1:19:38
  we didn't have roads? Let's listen to some of
• 1:19:42
  the trustworthy more than half the time, say
• 1:19:46
  the skeptic, mainstream media and how they covered
• 1:19:49
  the KCRCC electing a new chair, the Brent Reagan.
• 1:19:55
  Oh, man, it's so gross. I don't know if I can
• 1:19:58
  take any more of that. But all right, for you,
• 1:20:00
  for you, dear listeners, I will endure this.
• 1:20:03
  All right. Here's here's Idaho NPR quote covering
• 1:20:07
  it. They are just breathless with excitement.
• 1:20:11
  This is such a big. OK, I have to preface this.
• 1:20:13
  I'm sorry. This is such it's a big deal, dude.
• 1:20:15
  No, this is a big deal because so for two years
• 1:20:18
  we will have very conservative legislators from
• 1:20:22
  coming out of districts three, four and five.
• 1:20:25
  Kootenay County encompasses districts three,
• 1:20:27
  four and five. And a grand total of like, I want
• 1:20:30
  to say 10 legislators, but for between the House
• 1:20:33
  and the Senate. It's a lot. It's a he and for
• 1:20:37
  1516 years, districts three, four and five have
• 1:20:41
  been pretty, pretty good and actually truly conservative.
• 1:20:45
  And it's been it's been pretty okay. Not not
• 1:20:48
  perfect, not great, but you know, they at least
• 1:20:50
  are card -carrying conservatives for the most
• 1:20:52
  part. That changes now. We get two more years
• 1:20:56
  of that because the old Kootenai County Republican
• 1:20:59
  precinct committee put forth true conservative
• 1:21:03
  candidates for this election cycle and for this
• 1:21:06
  midterm election cycle, conservative candidates
• 1:21:08
  carried the day. But in two years, when the Kootenai
• 1:21:11
  County precinct committee puts forth candidates
• 1:21:14
  for the primaries, which again, primaries are
• 1:21:16
  where it's at in Idaho, unfortunately, uh they
• 1:21:19
  will put their thumb on the scale for the uh
• 1:21:23
  establishmentarian candidates and we we well
• 1:21:26
  i guess we who care about liberty i'm not a conservative
• 1:21:29
  because conservatives lose me on a lot of liberty
• 1:21:31
  topics themselves but they're closer than the
• 1:21:34
  establishment uh conservatives lost cootney county
• 1:21:37
  and that very well means that conservatives may
• 1:21:39
  have lost districts three four and five to the
• 1:21:42
  tune of about a dozen legislators for what could
• 1:21:45
  be decades It's a big deal and it's a bad, bad
• 1:21:49
  deal because you had the NIR, the North Idaho
• 1:21:52
  Republicans with shit tons of money and support
• 1:21:54
  and establishment connections who are the leftists,
• 1:21:58
  cosplaying as Republicans, cosplaying as conservatives
• 1:22:00
  who were on the other side and they have now
• 1:22:03
  taken over the official Republican brand in Kootenai
• 1:22:05
  County as well. So not only do they have their
• 1:22:07
  own NIR backing, but they have the Republican
• 1:22:10
  brand in their hands as well. So it's all over
• 1:22:15
  but the crying. for potentially decades, and
• 1:22:17
  it could swing Idaho leftward pretty hard for
• 1:22:23
  decades. It's a big deal. And so, yeah, NPR and
• 1:22:27
  the press and all of the mainstream apparatus
• 1:22:31
  mouthpieces, they are just breathlessly excited
• 1:22:34
  about this because life as we know it in Idaho
• 1:22:37
  will shift. The state Republican Party is getting
• 1:22:42
  a big gift from an outgoing far right, far right
• 1:22:45
  political leader in the panhandle. Here's James
• 1:22:47
  Dawson to explain. On Saturday, the Kootenai
• 1:22:50
  County Republican Central Committee voted to
• 1:22:52
  give half of its bank account, or about $64 ,000,
• 1:22:56
  to its counterparts at the state level. It said
• 1:22:58
  in a Facebook post, the money will be used to
• 1:23:01
  defeat a ballot initiative to restore abortion
• 1:23:03
  rights in Idaho. As first reported by the Coeur
• 1:23:06
  d 'Alene Press, the gift comes after moderates
• 1:23:08
  made big gains in last week's precinct elections,
• 1:23:12
  including toppling Chairman Brent Reagan. Boise
• 1:23:15
  State political science professor Jacqueline
• 1:23:17
  Kettler says these sorts of things happen across
• 1:23:19
  the country from time to time. Current officeholders
• 1:23:23
  or leadership will kind of... It's the same lady,
• 1:23:26
  by the way. This is the especially lady. Current
• 1:23:28
  officeholders or leadership will kind of take
• 1:23:31
  actions potentially to reduce the power or possible
• 1:23:37
  influence of those that may come after them.
• 1:23:40
  In addition to cutting its bank account in half,
• 1:23:43
  the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee
• 1:23:45
  also voted to close some of its social media
• 1:23:47
  accounts, which Kettler says could limit the
• 1:23:50
  reach of new members. The committee is set to
• 1:23:53
  vote on its new leadership tonight in Coeur d
• 1:23:55
  'Alene. And the establishment won. On those votes
• 1:23:59
  as well. So the chairman the new chairman Ron
• 1:24:01
  Jacobson is an establishment guy the co -chair
• 1:24:05
  the vice chair a bunch of the officers Who also
• 1:24:08
  get to vote by the way, they also get to vote.
• 1:24:11
  So basically what was a 37 to 37 tie between
• 1:24:17
  NIR members and the actual conservatives and
• 1:24:21
  then there were four independent quote -unquote
• 1:24:24
  independence really all four of them were fucking
• 1:24:26
  crazies. They're crazy. I know, I know of all
• 1:24:30
  of them. And so supposedly they're like the swing
• 1:24:33
  votes, but really what they are is a bunch of
• 1:24:35
  pedantic morons who will make sure that the NIR
• 1:24:38
  faction get their way every time because they'll
• 1:24:41
  try to cut deals that they think they have the
• 1:24:43
  power to cut. And then they're going to, and
• 1:24:44
  then they lose. This is what happened actually
• 1:24:46
  for chairman too. And then they lose and they
• 1:24:48
  get their asses kicked. And what ends up happening
• 1:24:50
  is the establishment wins. Because well, yeah,
• 1:24:55
  yeah, dude, it's so retarded and those are the
• 1:24:57
  moderates Yeah, the quote -unquote moderates
• 1:25:02
  The far -right lost far -right lost and then
• 1:25:08
  moderates Now what's the doubt and I just did
• 1:25:12
  real quick on the on the Internet's define moderate
• 1:25:15
  the first definition that comes up reasonable
• 1:25:19
  restrained or not excessive Literally the first
• 1:25:23
  word of the definition is reasonable. Yeah. Well,
• 1:25:28
  these are the people who think it's reasonable
• 1:25:30
  to take your home if you don't pay them tribute.
• 1:25:33
  Yeah. Reasonable. Yeah. A 3 % increase in your
• 1:25:38
  taxes is reasonable, but a 3 % decrease in their
• 1:25:41
  budget is murder. You're bashing it into the
• 1:25:44
  ground. You're eviscerating it. It's an all out
• 1:25:46
  attack. These are the people who protect the
• 1:25:50
  status quo because the status quo works for them.
• 1:25:52
  It doesn't matter how asinine or ridiculous the
• 1:25:56
  laws on the books are, they're not interested
• 1:25:58
  in changing those laws, they're interested in
• 1:25:59
  adding to them. But, you know, reasonable. With
• 1:26:05
  the elections a couple nights ago, the NIR types
• 1:26:09
  picked up like half a dozen more votes because
• 1:26:12
  you don't have to be a precinct committeeman
• 1:26:14
  to be the chairman of the committee. So like
• 1:26:18
  Ron Jacobson, he wasn't the PC, but he got voted
• 1:26:21
  in. and he gets a vote and so on and so forth
• 1:26:24
  and down the line. So NIR, they actually picked
• 1:26:26
  up like six or seven more votes that night. So
• 1:26:30
  now it's more like 44 to 37, give or take, and
• 1:26:34
  then four crazies in the mix who think they have
• 1:26:37
  power, but they really aren't worth anything
• 1:26:39
  now because NIR has all the votes they need forever.
• 1:26:44
  You'll have to forgive me and try not to, you
• 1:26:48
  know, just drive your car off of the no roads
• 1:26:51
  and careening to a ditch because I'm going to
• 1:26:53
  play the Coeur d 'Alene Press's coverage of this.
• 1:26:56
  And I want you to hear more of the mainstream
• 1:26:58
  apparatus and how they're presenting this. And
• 1:27:00
  it gives a little bit more details on the man
• 1:27:02
  you just mentioned, Ron Jacobson. It's the Coeur
• 1:27:04
  d 'Alene Press, so it's a print article as read
• 1:27:06
  by that same voice from 11 Labs. For the first
• 1:27:08
  time in a decade, the KCRCC has a new leader.
• 1:27:11
  It voted to choose former Post Falls Mayor Ron
• 1:27:14
  Jacobson as chair. picking him over precinct
• 1:27:16
  committeemen and State Senator Ben Tose by a
• 1:27:19
  margin of 63 to 9. Before the vote, Jacobson
• 1:27:22
  told the assembled precinct committeemen that
• 1:27:24
  he believes division is harming the Republican
• 1:27:26
  Party and that they can find common ground on
• 1:27:29
  most issues. I'm tired of infighting, he said.
• 1:27:33
  I'm tired of separation. Jacobson served three
• 1:27:36
  terms on the Post Falls. I'm also tired of you
• 1:27:38
  Post Falls residents showing your faces. Now
• 1:27:41
  mask up. Jacobson served three terms on the Post
• 1:27:44
  Falls City Council. and three more as mayor.
• 1:27:46
  By the way, I did see some people going like,
• 1:27:48
  well, yeah, but, you know, Mayor Jacobson, he
• 1:27:51
  later apologized and said that he was wrong on
• 1:27:54
  the masks issue. Man, don't you guys get it?
• 1:27:57
  Who in the world thinks they have the authority
• 1:28:00
  over another human being in such fashion? These
• 1:28:03
  are dangerous people. Just wait for the next
• 1:28:05
  opportunity that Ron Jacobson has to be wrong
• 1:28:07
  about something. Jacobson served three terms
• 1:28:10
  on the Post Falls City Council and three more
• 1:28:12
  as mayor in November. He lost his bid for a fourth
• 1:28:16
  mayoral term to Randy Westland, who is a precinct
• 1:28:19
  committeeman, and nominated Jacobson for chair.
• 1:28:22
  Thursday's vote came a little more than a week
• 1:28:24
  after longtime chair Brent Regan lost his precinct
• 1:28:27
  to Rick Montandon, opening the door to the possibility
• 1:28:30
  of new leadership. Though the party rules allow
• 1:28:33
  for Republicans who are not precinct committeemen
• 1:28:36
  to be placed in leadership positions, no one
• 1:28:38
  nominated Regan on Thursday night. Candidates
• 1:28:41
  backed by Kootenay Freedom Caucus A PAC bankrolled
• 1:28:44
  by the KCRCC secured 37 seats, while candidates
• 1:28:48
  supported by rival PAC North Idaho Republicans
• 1:28:50
  picked up 33 seats. The remaining four seats
• 1:28:53
  on the Central Committee were won by Republican
• 1:28:55
  candidates unaffiliated with either group. Jacobson
• 1:28:58
  said, the Central Committee can achieve great
• 1:29:00
  things through cooperation. You're much more
• 1:29:03
  successful when you play as a team as opposed
• 1:29:05
  to fighting with each other, Jacobson said. We
• 1:29:09
  should play as a team. Now that we've won. Let's
• 1:29:13
  come together and agree. Yep. They're just the
• 1:29:17
  reasonable ones. There's a phrase I always like
• 1:29:22
  to use for the quote unquote moderates or the
• 1:29:26
  reasonable as they like to call themselves. Basically,
• 1:29:29
  the way they frame every conversation when you
• 1:29:32
  really listen is can't we have a civil discussion
• 1:29:35
  about my plans to have you thrown in a cage if
• 1:29:37
  you don't pay for what I want? Why are we so
• 1:29:39
  divided? This division is your fault, they say.
• 1:29:43
  as they pass more laws like it blows. It drives
• 1:29:47
  me nuts when people talk about division and then
• 1:29:50
  blame people like me for being the ones who are
• 1:29:54
  divisive when I'm I'm the person who would never
• 1:29:58
  do anything like I'm not the person trying to
• 1:30:02
  exert my will on somebody else. So I'm basically
• 1:30:05
  it's benign. I'm a I'm a I'm a negative or a
• 1:30:08
  benign or a zero or whatever you want to call
• 1:30:10
  it. We're like I'm not the one aggressing other
• 1:30:13
  people. So there's nothing divisive. I don't
• 1:30:16
  do anything divisive. People who want less control
• 1:30:19
  over your life are the non -divisive ones. The
• 1:30:22
  thing that is divisive is the positive thing.
• 1:30:26
  And by positive, I don't mean like it's a good
• 1:30:28
  moral thing. I mean like negative action, positive
• 1:30:30
  action, meaning like you either do something
• 1:30:32
  or you don't do something or you do the opposite
• 1:30:34
  of something. So when you're the one doing the
• 1:30:40
  act, That is the divisive thing. When you're
• 1:30:45
  the one saying, hey, I have an idea. Let's do
• 1:30:47
  this. And guess what? We'll steal money. We'll
• 1:30:49
  take it from everybody else. And if we have enough
• 1:30:52
  people who agree with us, then it's legit and
• 1:30:54
  we can take it. And I go, no, I don't want to
• 1:30:58
  do that. And they go, why are you being divisive?
• 1:31:01
  That's right. Yeah. We come for you and then
• 1:31:04
  you object and then you're the divisive one.
• 1:31:07
  Yep. You just stop coming for me. This whole
• 1:31:09
  problem would be solved. They point a gun at
• 1:31:13
  us and they say, give us your rights. And we
• 1:31:15
  just go, no. And they go, is that a threat? Are
• 1:31:20
  you threatening us? That's pretty much it. Well,
• 1:31:24
  I wasn't, but. And then half of our fellow citizens
• 1:31:27
  are like, but what about the roads? Yeah. So.
• 1:31:36
  I know things got a little serious around here
• 1:31:37
  for a minute, but it's been on my mind pretty
• 1:31:40
  hard for the last few weeks because it's a bummer,
• 1:31:42
  man, and it's going to change things, and it's
• 1:31:44
  going to be almost impossible to ever reclaim
• 1:31:47
  it. And I'm going to put it out there, man. A
• 1:31:51
  big part of it was the candlelight Christian
• 1:31:54
  fellowship crazies. That church and their people
• 1:31:58
  did this because they spurred the infighting
• 1:32:03
  in the conservative wing of things. They're the
• 1:32:06
  ones who started it, they fanned to the flames,
• 1:32:08
  and they cost a number of good conservative people
• 1:32:12
  their seats. And they even came out and endorsed
• 1:32:15
  people who were NIR people just out of spite
• 1:32:20
  because they had personal beefs. A very classic
• 1:32:25
  example of why conservatives ultimately tend
• 1:32:28
  to lose a lot. Yeah, because you can't see the
• 1:32:32
  force for the trees and you can't understand
• 1:32:34
  there's a difference between tactics and strategy
• 1:32:36
  and they both have to work in tandem or else
• 1:32:39
  you lose and you have to see you have to be able
• 1:32:42
  to see the 10 foot view the thousand foot view
• 1:32:44
  and the 10 ,000 foot view or else you lose you
• 1:32:48
  have to put your ego aside or else you lose because
• 1:32:53
  leftists are collectivists, and collectivists
• 1:32:55
  do work in lockstep, and they're not smart people,
• 1:32:58
  but they're cunning and they're clever, and they
• 1:33:00
  know well enough that if they work together and
• 1:33:02
  they have the money, they win. So, goodbye Kootenay
• 1:33:08
  County. I'm so glad I live up here, Scott. And
• 1:33:11
  then once they win, they can totally, in a non
• 1:33:15
  -divisive way, come for you. And they will. Right.
• 1:33:20
  They will. Let's do one for before we wrap here.
• 1:33:23
  Let's do a for a little levity because I find
• 1:33:25
  a lot of this to be hilarious. Let's do a follow
• 1:33:27
  up on the so -called ice trial in that one. This
• 1:33:32
  is in Spokane, but we had our boots on the ground
• 1:33:34
  report a couple shows ago from the inside of
• 1:33:37
  the courthouse there and some of the amusing
• 1:33:39
  goings on as all of the commie crazies gather
• 1:33:43
  for. Well, you'll hear the names. Breaking news
• 1:33:47
  now in a high profile story. Creme 2 News has
• 1:33:49
  been following for months now. Just hours ago,
• 1:33:51
  a jury reached a verdict in the case against
• 1:33:53
  three defendants charged in connection with last
• 1:33:55
  summer's anti ice protest in Spokane. Creme 2's
• 1:33:57
  Regan Gallo was in the federal courtroom today
• 1:33:59
  as the sentences were handed down. She has more
• 1:34:01
  now from downtown Spokane. Well, in a packed
• 1:34:06
  courtroom, tears were seen on several faces as
• 1:34:10
  a federal jury returned a guilty verdict. Now,
• 1:34:14
  for justice for all, Jack Archer and Bajan Mabawala,
• 1:34:18
  they were found. Let's play those one more time.
• 1:34:20
  Mabawala? Yeah, yeah. Justice for all. Is this
• 1:34:23
  guy an Arrested Development character? Blah,
• 1:34:27
  blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, is he related to
• 1:34:29
  blah, blah, blah? So I looked up all three of
• 1:34:32
  these seem to be legit names. justice, and then
• 1:34:35
  it's F -O -R -A -L -L, and I can't, I mean, just
• 1:34:39
  relying on what the internet spits back to me,
• 1:34:41
  so who the hell knows, but the internet was like,
• 1:34:43
  well, we don't see any public records that would
• 1:34:45
  indicate that name has been changed, so. Maybe
• 1:34:47
  it's actually a birth name here. Here they are
• 1:34:50
  again. Jury returned a guilty verdict. Now for
• 1:34:54
  justice for all Jack Archer and Bajan Mabawala.
• 1:34:58
  What's Jack Archer doing in there? Come on, buddy.
• 1:35:01
  Yeah. One of these things is not like the other.
• 1:35:03
  He's the one who gets to cut a deal when they
• 1:35:07
  end up in Britain. He walks. Good job, Agent
• 1:35:11
  Archer. Now for justice for all Jack Archer and
• 1:35:15
  Bajan Mabawala. They were found guilty of conspiring
• 1:35:18
  to impede or injure officers during Spokane's
• 1:35:22
  downtown ice protest last June. Several people,
• 1:35:26
  including the three defendants, showed disappointment
• 1:35:29
  and tears following the verdict. And this comes
• 1:35:31
  after a two week trial and the jury had been
• 1:35:35
  in deliberation to two weeks Wednesday afternoon.
• 1:35:38
  Now Bayesian mobile Wallace father spoke to a
• 1:35:41
  crowd of supporters afterwards sharing his reaction.
• 1:35:46
  fought for, what my son is standing for, what
• 1:35:50
  justice is standing for, what Jack is standing
• 1:35:52
  for, are the freedoms that separate this country.
• 1:35:56
  Isn't it hilarious when commies pretend to care
• 1:35:58
  about freedoms? I wish that they cared this much
• 1:36:01
  about, again, all the same list I always roll
• 1:36:05
  off here. You're this passionate about people
• 1:36:09
  breaking the law. And so when it comes to illegal
• 1:36:12
  immigration, you're like, yeah, this is about
• 1:36:14
  freedom. Okay. I actually, I can, I can see a
• 1:36:17
  side of that conversation. I can't, I'm a libertarian.
• 1:36:20
  I believe in the free movement of peoples and
• 1:36:22
  the arbitrary lines. That's all. Of course I
• 1:36:25
  see the point. You don't care about freedom.
• 1:36:27
  It's disingenuous. Yeah. And if you gave a shit
• 1:36:29
  at all about actual freedom or anything that
• 1:36:32
  you think that you're saying here, that you would
• 1:36:33
  be right next to me as I tell them, no, you can't
• 1:36:36
  take my house and you can't tax me out of it.
• 1:36:38
  And no, get your hands out of my pockets and
• 1:36:42
  I'll, I'll, I'll travel where I want. Thank you
• 1:36:44
  very much. And also don't tax me, bro. But what
• 1:36:47
  about the roads? Nope. Well, without the roads,
• 1:36:52
  we couldn't have a legal immigration. So freedoms
• 1:36:57
  that separate these freedoms from the dictatorships
• 1:37:01
  and the banana republics of this planet. The
• 1:37:03
  Spokane mayor, Lisa Brown, said in a statement
• 1:37:06
  today, since the federal charges were filed,
• 1:37:08
  I have maintained that this prosecution was politically
• 1:37:12
  motivated. It was meant to make an example out
• 1:37:14
  of people who disagreed with federal immigration
• 1:37:16
  policy. Councilwoman Kate Tell is also appealed.
• 1:37:20
  And didn't didn't they like actually physically
• 1:37:23
  impede federal agents? I mean, Right. That's
• 1:37:27
  the step, which is really interesting that the
• 1:37:29
  charge is conspiring to impede as far as I could
• 1:37:32
  tell unless unless I missed it. That was the
• 1:37:34
  charge. No other charges like conspiring. But
• 1:37:38
  didn't they actually do the thing? Yeah. And
• 1:37:42
  like let air out of the tires or slash the tires
• 1:37:44
  of a federal vehicle. Or I mean, like that seems
• 1:37:46
  like yes. Like you're you're doing the thing.
• 1:37:48
  You're not conspiring to do the thing. You conspired
• 1:37:51
  and you did it. Yeah. Like you guys were all
• 1:37:53
  you were all in like this year. You were in a
• 1:37:55
  Safeway parking lot next to the loading zone
• 1:37:58
  at one o 'clock in the morning. And you were
• 1:38:00
  like tapping all your fingers against each other
• 1:38:03
  as you were thinking about what you were going
• 1:38:05
  to do. Or were you just in the street slashing
• 1:38:08
  the tires of an ICE vehicle? Which I mean, you
• 1:38:14
  know. Brass balls. I'll give you credit. All
• 1:38:16
  right. You got some sand and you're standing
• 1:38:18
  up for what you believe. A credit where credit
• 1:38:20
  is due. I just wish damn it. You guys would do
• 1:38:22
  that for things that are a little closer to home.
• 1:38:24
  That's the thing. Well, they're not things that
• 1:38:26
  I'm with you on the courage. But it's they weren't
• 1:38:28
  they're not standing up for the things they believe
• 1:38:29
  in. They don't believe in anything. They're standing
• 1:38:31
  up for that which they were algo'd into that
• 1:38:33
  day. Yeah. Well, you get caught damaging federal
• 1:38:36
  property or impeding a federal investigation.
• 1:38:38
  I don't know what's political about that. Like
• 1:38:40
  they got to charge you with that shit no matter
• 1:38:42
  what your politics are. Always. I guess the only
• 1:38:45
  thing that might make it political is, is what
• 1:38:47
  the, um, I'd be curious to hear what the sentencing
• 1:38:49
  is on it. Like what, what, what they, what their
• 1:38:52
  punishment ends up being. Now, if their punishment
• 1:38:54
  is like, you know, crazy out there, then, then
• 1:38:58
  yeah, you could maybe make the case that, oh,
• 1:38:59
  this was a, this was political and the punishment
• 1:39:02
  shows that. But you know, you did what you did
• 1:39:05
  and the feds are going to get you, man. That
• 1:39:08
  part's not political. You, you play stupid games,
• 1:39:11
  you win stupid prizes. And hell, I kind of agree
• 1:39:14
  with them on some things and have respect for
• 1:39:17
  them even on some things, but also they're retarded.
• 1:39:21
  Here is the rest of the mainstream city of Spokane
• 1:39:25
  figures speaking on behalf of the NPC protesters.
• 1:39:30
  This prosecution was because the first one, if
• 1:39:32
  you heard, was the mayor today since the federal
• 1:39:35
  charges were filed. The Spokane mayor, Lisa Brown,
• 1:39:38
  said in a statement today, since the federal
• 1:39:40
  charges were filed, I have maintained that this
• 1:39:43
  prosecution was politically motivated. It was
• 1:39:45
  meant to make an example out of people who disagreed
• 1:39:48
  with federal immigration policy. Councilwoman
• 1:39:50
  Kate Tellis. No, it's not an example of people
• 1:39:53
  who disagree. It's an example of people who got
• 1:39:56
  in the streets and slashed tires. There's a lot
• 1:39:59
  of people who disagree with federal immigration
• 1:40:01
  policy who didn't exhibit that behavior who aren't
• 1:40:04
  being prosecuted. Isn't it interesting how people
• 1:40:09
  break the law when they see fit and then they'll
• 1:40:12
  tout the law the moment that it suits their purposes.
• 1:40:16
  Preference over principle. That's both sides.
• 1:40:20
  Absolutely. I mean, conservatives will thump
• 1:40:21
  their chests and be like, you know, I'll do whatever
• 1:40:24
  I want with my guns. Forget the law. But don't
• 1:40:28
  you dare gamble or smoke weed and then I'll bring
• 1:40:31
  out the law on your ass or cross that border.
• 1:40:35
  You know liberals are like just on the opposite
• 1:40:38
  of things, you know, they'll break they'll break
• 1:40:40
  the laws for marijuana and they'll break the
• 1:40:42
  laws for Prostitution and they'll break the laws
• 1:40:45
  for illegal immigration. But don't you dare think
• 1:40:47
  about not paying your taxes Here's the last part
• 1:40:52
  of the clip Councilwoman Kate Telles also appeared
• 1:40:55
  outside the courthouse after the verdict and
• 1:40:57
  told me she is disappointed and looking forward
• 1:41:00
  for justice prevailing. Councilwoman Sarah Distic
• 1:41:03
  also shared her disappointment to the crowd of
• 1:41:05
  supporters outside the courthouse today. This
• 1:41:08
  is a continuing developing story that we will
• 1:41:10
  continue to report on. Okay, I'm just going to
• 1:41:14
  throw it out there right now that these people
• 1:41:16
  who are parading in the streets, these elected
• 1:41:18
  leader, leader, leaders who are talking this
• 1:41:21
  way and behaving this way are the same leader
• 1:41:25
  leader leaders who just last year or two years
• 1:41:28
  ago now prosecuted a small handful of teenagers
• 1:41:32
  for defacing rainbow crosswalks in downtown Spokane
• 1:41:38
  because the teenagers were having themselves
• 1:41:39
  a day and they thought it'd be fun and fun and
• 1:41:42
  it was actually funny to basically put graffiti
• 1:41:46
  on rainbow crosswalks because the city of Spokane
• 1:41:49
  for pride month made their crosswalks all rainbowy
• 1:41:52
  naturally. And a group of, of youths like rode
• 1:41:56
  their bikes on some of the crosswalks and like
• 1:41:58
  left tire marks and did some, I think they did
• 1:42:00
  some spray paint. They did a few, I mean, like,
• 1:42:03
  you know, minor stuff, stuff you shouldn't be
• 1:42:06
  doing again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
• 1:42:08
  Cause what do you expect is going to happen?
• 1:42:10
  But what they didn't expect was for the city
• 1:42:12
  to come down with the full force of the learner.
• 1:42:15
  And it did. And it prosecuted them for defacing
• 1:42:17
  public property. and went after them hard. But
• 1:42:22
  these are the same people, though. Sounds politically
• 1:42:24
  motivated. Do that to teenagers. Sounds politically
• 1:42:27
  motivated, mayor of Spokane. Huh. It's just rules
• 1:42:32
  for thee, but not for thee, for me. Or, you know,
• 1:42:34
  I like the stuff I like and I don't like the
• 1:42:37
  stuff I don't like. So, you know, this over here
• 1:42:39
  is justice and this over here is injustice because
• 1:42:44
  I say so. The law is just whatever I want it
• 1:42:48
  to be. I sit here and I disagree with almost
• 1:42:52
  all of it. Everybody's wrong as usual. That is
• 1:42:56
  why government should not exist or be way, way
• 1:43:01
  smaller because here we are. We can't agree on
• 1:43:04
  anything. So why on God's green earth would we
• 1:43:06
  allow a small handful of people to dictate this
• 1:43:08
  to us? Here is the reason that government can
• 1:43:12
  never, it's never smaller and it only goes the
• 1:43:15
  other way because the public wants it on account
• 1:43:17
  of the mainstream, which is why we do this show.
• 1:43:19
  I'm going to play us out with this final clip.
• 1:43:21
  I know we're out over time, but the gas prices
• 1:43:25
  might fluctuate and it might not be relevant
• 1:43:27
  by next week's show. So I got to play us out
• 1:43:29
  with this. You got to tell me what is missing
• 1:43:31
  from this Four News Now report. This is nearly
• 1:43:34
  80 cents cheaper. You know what? Yes, it is.
• 1:43:37
  Here comes the question. Big or small, make your
• 1:43:40
  guess before we call. The game begins. It's Ask.
• 1:43:44
  Paul. Brought to you by Raising Canes. The Raising
• 1:43:48
  Canes. So it's the first word got cut off, but
• 1:43:51
  it's gas is nearly 80 cents cheaper per gallon
• 1:43:54
  in Idaho compared to Washington, and that's causing
• 1:43:57
  many drivers to head across the border. New data
• 1:43:59
  confirms there have been more trips from Washington
• 1:44:01
  to Post Falls since gas prices spiked earlier
• 1:44:04
  this year. Derek Strom spoke with customers about
• 1:44:07
  how much they're saving. Driver analytics company
• 1:44:09
  Arity released new data that confirms drivers
• 1:44:12
  are heading to Idaho for cheaper gas, and in
• 1:44:14
  the past few months that number jumped by nearly
• 1:44:17
  10 % when gas prices spiked. Visits across the
• 1:44:20
  border have come down slightly since then, but
• 1:44:23
  the data shows Washington drivers are still heading
• 1:44:25
  to Post Falls more often. Even though that data
• 1:44:28
  from Arity shows fewer people making the trip
• 1:44:31
  from Washington to Post Falls for cheaper gas
• 1:44:33
  prices, many of the gas stations here in State
• 1:44:36
  Line are still seeing lines. the pump. State
• 1:44:39
  lines al for people who don't really prices.
• 1:44:45
  I used to live in drive all the way here. J and
• 1:44:50
  cigarettes and for g at the two gas stations
• 1:44:54
  t that its owners are build set to open next
• 1:44:58
  month. We a lot. A lot of people ge This hopefully
• 1:45:05
  will make it a lot easier. The way the pumps
• 1:45:06
  are set up is a lot better. The manager at the
• 1:45:10
  Liberty Stop and Go and State Lines says the
• 1:45:12
  cheaper nicotine products also draws people from
• 1:45:14
  Washington. For customers like Rick Lloyd, the
• 1:45:17
  amount he saves on both cigarettes and gas will
• 1:45:19
  keep him coming back. This is like a 14 -ing
• 1:45:23
  gallon change. So if it's empty, it is about
• 1:45:26
  a buck difference. You're gonna save 14 bucks
• 1:45:28
  about. Come over here, buy a carton of cigarettes,
• 1:45:30
  you save another 30, and that's 45 bucks back
• 1:45:33
  in your pocket. In state line, Derek Strom, Four
• 1:45:36
  News Now. Now that's a minute and 50 second clip
• 1:45:39
  that didn't include the most obvious question
• 1:45:43
  one would ask upon hearing the premise of this
• 1:45:45
  story. What didn't they include? I'll take why
• 1:45:49
  are prices higher in Washington than they are
• 1:45:51
  in Idaho, Trebek, and then I'll answer the question.
• 1:45:55
  I will take what are taxes, Trebek, for a thousand.
• 1:46:01
  Hello! I win! I win! It's almost like, it's almost
• 1:46:06
  like money goes where it's most respected. It's
• 1:46:09
  like capital will flee to where it is most protected
• 1:46:13
  and most respected and goes the furthest always.
• 1:46:17
  I mean, the, the town of state line, Idaho is
• 1:46:22
  completely built around Washington sucking as
• 1:46:26
  hard as it does. And I'm dead serious. Like it's,
• 1:46:28
  it's that if Washington ever decided to stop
• 1:46:33
  eating shit and get better, the town of Stateline,
• 1:46:38
  Idaho would probably dry up and go away. It wouldn't
• 1:46:40
  be, it wouldn't, it wouldn't exist. Like it depends
• 1:46:43
  on Washington being so shitty. Yeah. Tobacco
• 1:46:47
  taxes, liquor taxes and gas taxes. And, and Stateline
• 1:46:52
  has an abundance of all of those products at
• 1:46:55
  a significantly lower price. And it, and they
• 1:46:58
  don't even have to compete on, on actual price.
• 1:47:01
  It's not like they're offering the product cheaper.
• 1:47:05
  It's just that the taxes are less expensive,
• 1:47:09
  so therefore the product can be offered cheaper.
• 1:47:13
  Here's an ask Scott or an ask Paul, I guess,
• 1:47:17
  kind of speaks for itself. But can you guess
• 1:47:20
  the number one performing liquor store in Idaho?
• 1:47:29
  Well, I think it's been mentioned on this program,
• 1:47:31
  although it's been months. Is it at State Line?
• 1:47:35
  There's the State Line, the Post Falls State
• 1:47:38
  Line Liquor Store. You win again. And then the
• 1:47:40
  Post Falls, the actual Post Falls Liquor Store,
• 1:47:42
  the one that's just off of Spokane Street is
• 1:47:44
  the third best performing store in the whole
• 1:47:47
  state. That's my home store. Can you, I bet you
• 1:47:51
  can guess why. Anyways, we could go on like this
• 1:47:53
  forever. Yeah, no kidding. Oh, more mysteries.
• 1:47:56
  Hold on. Let me get the X -Files thing back on.
• 1:47:58
  Why, why does this happen? Why do Washingtonians
• 1:48:02
  come over here and buy stuff? Why do people do
• 1:48:05
  the things they do? Hey, I know. Makes no sense.
• 1:48:08
  Let's do a two minute report and not even ask
• 1:48:11
  that question. Well, just it just hangs in the
• 1:48:15
  air. It's just this magical phenomenon of Idaho
• 1:48:17
  gas prices being less expensive. And then we'll
• 1:48:21
  interview four people, all of whom are lighting
• 1:48:25
  one cigarette off the next, apparently. If only
• 1:48:28
  there was a way to figure out. Why people bought
• 1:48:30
  more stuff in Idaho. If only we could figure
• 1:48:33
  out who drove that truck into Raising Cane's
• 1:48:37
  sign. And if only we could figure out where the
• 1:48:40
  hell Jensen Heilman lives. We could solve all
• 1:48:43
  the world's problems this week. But these and
• 1:48:46
  many more answers are just too difficult to figure
• 1:48:50
  out. This NPR report brought to you by Raising
• 1:48:55
  Cane's. OK, well, that's that's episode number
• 1:49:00
  31 of your No ID Show. That was fun. In the can.
• 1:49:04
  And we don't really ask a lot of questions either,
• 1:49:06
  other than just what is wrong with everybody?
• 1:49:09
  Why is everyone wrong about everything all the
• 1:49:11
  time? Why is everyone such an NPC? Can't you
• 1:49:14
  people see what's going on here? I feel like
• 1:49:16
  I'm taking crazy pills. Those are the type of
• 1:49:19
  questions we ask. But why mail money? Why? It's
• 1:49:23
  a legitimate question. Why are you the way that
• 1:49:27
  you are? Why? Why, why, why? Well, I know why.
• 1:49:35
  Money! Money! If you money move a couple of keys
• 1:49:39
  away from the Y and go to the W instead www .noidshow
• 1:49:45
  .com that's where you can go to do all the things
• 1:49:49
  return value to our program because our program
• 1:49:51
  runs on value for value if of course you find
• 1:49:54
  the show valuable everything is downstream of
• 1:49:57
  that if you don't well why did you I'm not really
• 1:50:00
  sure why you made it this far in the show but
• 1:50:02
  thanks well I'll tell you what We're cheaper.
• 1:50:06
  The podcast is cheaper over here in Idaho than
• 1:50:08
  it is in Washington. So now I understand why
• 1:50:10
  the spook from Spokane and all of his buddies
• 1:50:13
  listen to us because we're less expensive. Well,
• 1:50:16
  you made a mistake even asking why. That's not
• 1:50:18
  a relevant question. I didn't ask why. I gave
• 1:50:22
  the answer. I didn't ask the question. Okay.
• 1:50:25
  Well, what's wrong with you? Don't you listen?
• 1:50:27
  You never listen to a word I say. Huh? Noidyshow
• 1:50:33
