• 0:22
  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey everybody, welcome back
• 0:29
  to No ID, Idaho's mainstream media deconstruction.
• 0:33
  I'm Scott. Hello internet, I'm Paul live from
• 0:37
  the Clark for compound What a beautiful day I'm
• 0:42
  all about it And you're getting already scar.

• 0:52
  We got to start the show Because yeah, we got
• 0:55
  a I got to go shoot some birds with my kid Normally
• 0:59
  I'm willing to negotiate times, but this time
• 1:02
  I can't do it We got to leave at a certain time
• 1:04
  to get up to the mountains at a certain time
• 1:06
  because that's the magic hour man when the birds
• 1:07
  come out grouse season has officially started
• 1:10
  actually it started on Sunday, but We're going
• 1:14
  you're going up. Where exactly did you say? I'm
• 1:17
  not telling We live up kind of in the mountains
• 1:22
  in the mountains, that's where I'm going You
• 1:27
  were kind of telling me the the it was like an
• 1:29
  heirloom Firearm that was kind of cool. What's
• 1:32
  that about? Yeah, man, my pops At some point
• 1:37
  came by I think through family came by a matching
• 1:39
  pair of a 20 gauge and a 410 Two old shotguns
• 1:43
  that are single shot. They're pretty cool They
• 1:45
  break down in the middle with the lever and they're
• 1:48
  cheese. I think they're older than me and that's
• 1:50
  how I started and Now that's how my boy started
• 1:54
  bagged his first grass last season with the 410
• 1:56
  They'll use the 410 again this season and probably
• 1:58
  graduate up to the 20 gauge next season But yeah,
• 2:01
  I proud pop a moment man watching my son bag
• 2:03
  a grouse with the shotgun that I bagged my first
• 2:05
  cross So that's the that's the good stuff right
• 2:08
  there. That's those are the things that we live
• 2:09
  for pretty cool Yeah, then it's the sort of thing
• 2:12
  that you would expect and hope to hear from guys
• 2:16
  doing a podcast about Idaho from Idaho and about
• 2:19
  Idaho Yep, soon as we're done with the show.
• 2:22
  We're gonna go use an heirloom firearm and shoot
• 2:24
  some birds with one of our multiple kids. Well,
• 2:30
  I mean, I'm a native. I'm a local. And when I
• 2:32
  wear flannel, it's not ironic. And my work boots
• 2:35
  are scuffed up and fucked up because I, well,
• 2:37
  I work in them. So you mean you didn't buy them
• 2:40
  from the store that they're like battered chic?
• 2:45
  No, they're they're leaked. They're leaked. Yeah.
• 2:50
  Oh, man. But why male models? Nah, I'm legit
• 2:55
  Idaho, you know, so I've been accused on more
• 2:59
  than one occasion over the years of being a hipster
• 3:02
  looking kind of guy. And I suppose maybe at times
• 3:03
  I am. But no, the flannel is not ironic. I've
• 3:06
  always worn flannel. The work boots are actual
• 3:07
  work boots. So on and so forth. Well, that's
• 3:12
  a lot of cred. Let's see if the cred will pay
• 3:15
  off. Let's start this week with an Ask Paul.
• 3:17
  Here comes the question. Big or small? Make your
• 3:20
  guess before we call. The game begins. It's Ask.
• 3:23
  Paul brought to you by Pfizer. This is gonna
• 3:26
  be another one of those we're gonna hear the
• 3:28
  whole clip and I've bleeped out the Word the
• 3:31
  what is this topic? What are they reporting on
• 3:33
  this from KTVB new this morning? They're surging
• 3:36
  across the country this year. The worst may not
• 3:39
  be over yet. This It's so good. It has every
• 3:44
  single bullet point McCaw repetition mainstream
• 3:50
  media, the CDC and experts and surging and all
• 3:55
  the buzzwords, all the good ones, just the same
• 3:59
  up two hundred and twelve percent from one case
• 4:02
  to three cases. Well, it's groundhog day again.
• 4:07
  New this morning are surging across the country
• 4:09
  this year. Experts say the worst may not be over
• 4:12
  yet. Abby has more on this for us. Abby, the
• 4:14
  CDC reported emergency room visits for. were
• 4:17
  up 50 % in April compared to the same time last
• 4:21
  year. So definitely there is a rise. Yeah, that's
• 4:24
  right, Maggie. And that same data tracker by
• 4:26
  the CDC shows that by mid -August, related ER
• 4:30
  visits had already surpassed every full August
• 4:33
  on record. They've seen significantly more data
• 4:36
  this summer than in past years in Idaho, too.
• 4:40
  This season is generally from March to October.
• 4:42
  And so far in 2026, there have been more than
• 4:45
  1 ,700 reports in the state. Whoa. It's probably
• 4:49
  because we had a more mild winter this year.
• 4:52
  So that means season could remain a concern well
• 4:56
  into the fall here in Idaho. It's better to stay
• 4:59
  safe than sorry. So get checked by professional
• 5:02
  if you are concerned about very concerned. Did
• 5:06
  that just have everything? It's like AI made
• 5:09
  it with just all of the same bullcrap phrasing
• 5:12
  in terms. It's so good. All right, what are they
• 5:15
  talking about? Yeah, they just inputted the usual
• 5:17
  language they use every single time. I mean,
• 5:19
  it's so formulaic at this point. Once you see
• 5:22
  it, you can't unsee it. It's crazy. I did the
• 5:24
  math, by the way. And because I don't know how
• 5:26
  to read these numbers, I'm not even sure. I think
• 5:29
  basically, what is 1 ,700 out of 2 .2 million,
• 5:32
  the population of Idaho? And it's basically like
• 5:34
  point zero zero zero zero zero seven seven two
• 5:40
  population Sarge Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's
• 5:45
  what it is because what the calculator actually
• 5:46
  spat out at me was seven point seven two seven
• 5:49
  two seven two seven two seven two seven two seven
• 5:51
  two seven two e Dash four which I'm pretty sure
• 5:55
  means it's an exponential to the four or four
• 5:58
  like four zeros To the to the left of this number
• 6:01
  So it would be 0 .0000772 % of the population
• 6:09
  has been struck with Talk about a mild summer
• 6:16
  or a mild winter So that made me think ticks
• 6:22
  mild winter made me think ticks or like Lyme's
• 6:26
  disease or something of that nature because ticks
• 6:28
  have been an issue lately in Idaho Bigger than
• 6:32
  they usually are mean ticks are always around
• 6:34
  but So the weather aspect of it made me think.
• 6:38
  Oh, maybe is that ticks Lyme disease and whatnot
• 6:41
  or from a Rocky Mountain fever? the other thing
• 6:44
  though, they mentioned flu like stuff, so I'm
• 6:46
  guessing that could be influenza or Measles are
• 6:51
  not the flu, but I know they've been like hammering
• 6:54
  the measles things to It's cases of something.
• 6:59
  So it's either like Rocky Mountain fever measles
• 7:02
  or influenza or something along those lines,
• 7:04
  but I'll I'm gonna go with measles Go with measles
• 7:09
  You had your first impulse was ready this morning
• 7:12
  tick -tock surging across. Yes. Okay, I get partial
• 7:15
  credit. Come on partial credit Cause I picked
• 7:18
  up on the mild winter thing. Come on. You got
• 7:20
  to give me your first partial credits. It was
• 7:22
  completely correct. And then you talk yourself
• 7:24
  out. It was, I did too. Oh my God. Abby has more
• 7:28
  on this for us. Abby, the CDC reported emergency
• 7:31
  room visits for tick bites were at 50 % in April.
• 7:34
  So it went from one to one to one and a half.
• 7:38
  Yeah. Or two, two to three. All right, I'm not
• 7:43
  going to play the whole thing, but there you
• 7:44
  go. Tick bites. It's ticks is the is the panic
• 7:47
  du jour. What you should be concerned about.
• 7:51
  Funny, you should mention that I actually this
• 7:54
  might be one of the few times where I raise an
• 7:56
  eyebrow, but not as not out of cynicism, as hard
• 8:01
  as usual, but more like a huh, is are we getting
• 8:04
  a grain of truth from the mainstream media for
• 8:07
  a change? Because once in a while, once in a
• 8:08
  while. they actually you know broken clock is
• 8:11
  right twice a day but the mainstream media it's
• 8:13
  more like once every month but uh they're it's
• 8:17
  it's a it is a worthy concern not because of
• 8:21
  the ticks themselves at face value but the issue
• 8:24
  is of course is uh the limes disease that a lot
• 8:27
  of them carry and the rocky mountain fever that
• 8:30
  a lot of them carry both of which are not so
• 8:32
  great if you're a human and more importantly
• 8:34
  this is where we uh that's where we put on the
• 8:37
  tinfoil hats here particularly with Lyme's disease,
• 8:45
  one of the known symptoms or like ultimate lasting
• 8:50
  effects that you get, even if you kind of can
• 8:53
  get over it, because I don't know if you ever
• 8:54
  are fully treated and cured from Lyme's disease,
• 8:57
  but you can get treatment and not die from it,
• 9:00
  is the inability to eat meat. It's a certain
• 9:03
  kind of proteins that you can no longer consume
• 9:06
  or it'll flare up and get you really good. I
• 9:08
  thought that was Alpha Gal from the Lone Star
• 9:11
  tick. Is that... Is that a different way to say
• 9:14
  Lyme or is that the same symptom for both diseases?
• 9:18
  I believe it might be different symptoms but
• 9:22
  same overall effect. Let me look it up. I'm going
• 9:24
  to look it up in real time. Let me see if the
• 9:27
  robot can do it before you can. As concisely
• 9:30
  as possible, describe the differences if there
• 9:32
  are any between Lyme disease and alpha -gal syndrome.
• 9:37
  Checking. They're very different. Lyme disease
• 9:41
  is a bacterial infection spread by ticks, treated
• 9:45
  with antibiotics. Alpha -gal syndrome is an allergic
• 9:48
  reaction triggered by a tick bite, causing delayed
• 9:52
  allergic symptoms after eating mammal meat. Yeah,
• 9:57
  that all tracks, but that wasn't the question.
• 10:00
  The question was, can Lyme's disease have a similar
• 10:04
  thing going on with consumption of meat? As precisely
• 10:09
  as possible, Can Lyme disease cause that same
• 10:11
  allergic reaction when you eat mammal meat? That's
• 10:17
  a big one. I'll give you that. No, Lyme disease
• 10:20
  itself doesn't cause that meat allergy. That's
• 10:23
  alpha -gal syndrome, a different immune reaction
• 10:26
  triggered by certain tick bites, not the Lyme
• 10:29
  bacteria. I have no idea why it was English.
• 10:33
  Here's what I'm seeing. Apparently, a lot of
• 10:36
  it matters. I didn't know this. Apparently, it
• 10:39
  depends on what tick you get bit by. Lime's disease
• 10:42
  is primarily spread by the black -legged tick,
• 10:44
  while alpha -gal syndrome is primarily triggered
• 10:46
  by the Lone Star tick. And you did mention that
• 10:48
  earlier, the Lone Star tick. But I didn't know
• 10:50
  that it was exclusive to one particular brand
• 10:55
  of tick. Yeah. Well, and I think there's a whole,
• 10:59
  you know, I think my understanding is that the
• 11:00
  Lone Star tick is the product, it's like a DARPA
• 11:03
  creation. Like it's not even, it's not a product
• 11:06
  of nature. I'm being somewhat tongue -in -cheek,
• 11:09
  but kind of not really. Well, no, there is a
• 11:14
  lot of worthwhile evidence that points to man
• 11:20
  -made the alpha -gal syndrome thing being a man
• 11:24
  -made thing. The bio -weapon. I'm a little fuzzy
• 11:27
  on the details, but I've seen and heard enough
• 11:29
  to go, okay, that actually tracks. This could
• 11:31
  make a lot of sense. especially because the timing
• 11:34
  of it also makes you go, hmm, you know, we're
• 11:37
  seeing a rise in tick bites from the Lone Star
• 11:40
  tick that carry this alpha -gal syndrome. You're
• 11:43
  seeing a lot more of it over the last 10 years,
• 11:45
  more than maybe ever, ever. And at the same time,
• 11:48
  it has been in the last 10 years where they've
• 11:50
  straight up admitted to us their agenda to get
• 11:53
  us to eat crickets and, you know, to enjoy bug
• 11:57
  protein. I mean, Again, as always, they tell
• 12:01
  us the truth if you listen. They've been telling
• 12:03
  us for over a decade to our faces, like, meat
• 12:07
  is bad, eat bugs. This is the future. You're
• 12:10
  gonna own nothing, eat bugs, and be happy. And
• 12:13
  then once you know it, alpha -gal syndrome becomes
• 12:16
  a real thing that a lot of people are dealing
• 12:19
  with in the same time period. And, you know,
• 12:22
  hmm. So unrelated to limes then, but nevertheless.
• 12:27
  on brand for the lizard people who rule us and
• 12:32
  the bureaucrats to allow it. Yeah. Oh, you know,
• 12:35
  you know, in the Philippines, cockroaches are
• 12:37
  a delicacy. There's always or there's like an
• 12:40
  ABC report on this new creek, the grasshopper
• 12:44
  powder that's going into this delicious grasshopper
• 12:47
  snack. And then there's a, you know, a Klaus
• 12:49
  Schwab type gets up and with a you know, little
• 12:53
  earpiece microphone gives a Ted talk at Davos
• 12:56
  about how we, you know, we're going to sit global
• 12:58
  sustainability because bugs are going to replace
• 13:00
  meat. And then when guys like you and I are like,
• 13:02
  hey, man, they want us to eat bugs. It's like,
• 13:04
  oh, you guys are just a bunch of conspiracy.
• 13:07
  Like, no, the conspirators tell you. They're
• 13:09
  proud of their telling us. Yeah, they're literally
• 13:11
  telling us. Every year they get together and
• 13:14
  Davos every year Yeah, they give the TED talks
• 13:16
  every year and then it's always under the guise
• 13:18
  of course of climate change and public safety
• 13:20
  and you know, we can't keep doing this to the
• 13:22
  planet so we have to eat crickets because my
• 13:25
  cow farts the cow farts are killing the planet
• 13:27
  and Meanwhile these these same people who talk
• 13:31
  about all this Fly around in their private jets
• 13:34
  and burn more fuel in one trip than you and I
• 13:37
  will in our entire lifetimes and They're eating
• 13:40
  steak Wagyu hand massaged beef man like these
• 13:44
  are the people who whose meals are a thousand
• 13:47
  dollars a plate wherever they go so yeah is this
• 13:52
  some sort of peasant joke that i'm too rich to
• 13:55
  understand Yeah, let's hold still while we feed
• 14:00
  you bugs Also, maybe maybe they're gonna add
• 14:03
  ticks to the menu. Maybe that's what's going
• 14:05
  on here, too They're just getting us used to
• 14:06
  the idea your ticks ticks every well Yeah, but
• 14:09
  they're like think of them as the corn nuts of
• 14:12
  nature. You just pop them in your mouth crunch
• 14:14
  mmm They're real peppery Yeah, yeah real protein
• 14:19
  rich filling Let's do Oh here, you know what?
• 14:26
  We were sent this article. Thank you guys, value
• 14:28
  for value. Everyone that has sent in links and
• 14:31
  articles and quote news reports and stuff. This
• 14:36
  was sent in, he asked to remain anonymous. He
• 14:38
  did say that, well let's play the clip first.
• 14:42
  It is regarding a temporary levy. Either get
• 14:48
  a temporary levy passed or potentially have to
• 14:51
  let go to close to a third of their entire fire
• 14:53
  personnel. That's the reality. Oh, no. The Northern
• 14:56
  Lakes Fire District is phasing right now. Creme
• 14:58
  2's Christian Garza has more tonight. Either
• 15:02
  get a new temporary levy passed or potentially
• 15:05
  have to let go of close to one third of their
• 15:08
  fire personnel. Could reflect on that. We need
• 15:11
  to get yet another temporary levy passed. Temporary
• 15:14
  levy. OK. Yeah, I was just heading that direction.
• 15:18
  You and I were meeting at the same point at the
• 15:20
  same time. I was like, uh -huh. Uh -huh. You
• 15:23
  keep using that word. I do not think it means
• 15:26
  what you think it means. That's the reality that
• 15:30
  Northern Lakes Fire District is having to face
• 15:31
  right now. When an emergency call comes in, there's
• 15:36
  no time to think about budgets or balance sheets.
• 15:39
  Don't think! There's only time to respond. But
• 15:43
  for the people answering those calls, the cost
• 15:46
  of being ready is going up. Northern Lakes Fire
• 15:49
  District is asking voters for another temporary
• 15:51
  levy, this time worth $4 .5 million over two
• 15:56
  years. We're pretty far. Is that all that that's
• 15:59
  it? That I'm surprised they didn't say only.
• 16:01
  We're pretty far stretched and you know for us
• 16:04
  we can't afford to. to lose anybody. Kevin Crawford,
• 16:08
  the fire chief for Northern Lakes Fire District,
• 16:10
  says the money would go to helping keep the 21
• 16:12
  fire personnel the district was able to hire
• 16:15
  with its last temporary levy. Chief Crawford
• 16:17
  says the main reason for the million dollar increase
• 16:20
  is due to the inflation of safety gear. I mean
• 16:23
  our message is inflation. You point this out
• 16:28
  just came out of nowhere it inflated you point
• 16:30
  this out all the time which is that whenever
• 16:33
  these quote temporary or it's just it's a one
• 16:36
  -time or it's They're gonna build the park and
• 16:40
  it's only gonna cost X amount of money What about
• 16:43
  later? When you use all that temporary slash
• 16:46
  one time slash just gonna build it money What
• 16:49
  about when the bill comes due to keep the things
• 16:51
  all the people you hired the park you built?
• 16:53
  What do you do then? Ask for another temporary,
• 16:58
  Levy. It's temporary! It's only temporary, though.
• 17:02
  And this one only raises your property taxes
• 17:04
  by $100 per $100 ,000 of value of your home,
• 17:09
  which, in the Northern Lakes District... Assessed.
• 17:12
  Oh, excuse me, of assessed value, yes. My bad.
• 17:16
  And coincidentally, in unrelated news... Do you
• 17:19
  know any properties? Go ahead. In unrelated news,
• 17:23
  we've doubled the assessed value of your property.
• 17:26
  Oh, well, I mean inflation. It's inflation. Duh.
• 17:30
  Inflation did it. Yeah. And of course, the best
• 17:33
  part for them is that out there in the Northern
• 17:35
  Lakes Fire District, which basically encompasses
• 17:36
  Athol, parts of Spirit Lake, Bayview, you know,
• 17:40
  it's all, it's all big acreage stuff, you know,
• 17:43
  minimum, mostly, mostly minimum of like five
• 17:45
  acres. All the properties out there, I don't
• 17:48
  know if there's any out there that would ever
• 17:49
  list for less than a million now at this point,
• 17:51
  which is kind of wild when you think about it,
• 17:52
  because growing up, going back to that, I'm an
• 17:55
  Idaho local who actually wears an ironic flannel
• 17:57
  thing, Athol used to be where the poor people
• 17:59
  lived. We know in the last 20 years nobody would
• 18:02
  know this but for ever until about 2010 Athol
• 18:09
  is where poor people it's all rich people most
• 18:12
  of whom 90 % of whom are not from here at all
• 18:14
  They all moved in they bought acreage out there
• 18:16
  because acreage was cheap and then acreage is
• 18:18
  no longer cheap at all out there Nothing is cheap
• 18:20
  out there and everything's broken up into five
• 18:22
  ten fifteen twenty acres. So They're just chomping
• 18:26
  at the bit out there, them taxing districts,
• 18:28
  because you say something like, oh, and it's
• 18:31
  only, it used to be, it used to be $92 per 100
• 18:35
  ,000 of assessed value. Well, all we're doing
• 18:37
  is raising it by $10. Now it's gonna be $102
• 18:42
  per $100 ,000 of assessed value. And you're thinking,
• 18:45
  oh, well, that's not too bad, you know, 450 ,000,
• 18:48
  500 ,000. That's 500 and change a year, which
• 18:51
  is still. Fuck ton if you ask me. But most of
• 18:54
  these properties are assessed at like the millions.
• 18:56
  Starting bid is a million on most of this stuff.
• 18:59
  So your minimum for most of these properties,
• 19:02
  your minimum bill for this is over $1 ,000 a
• 19:06
  year. $1 ,000 a year for 21 firefighters and
• 19:11
  this fire station. It's temporary. And you know
• 19:14
  what you don't hear about? You never hear about
• 19:16
  the fire chief. Oh, I don't know. taking a pay
• 19:20
  cut to be able to keep some guys on anything
• 19:22
  like that. These dudes make bank and the regular
• 19:24
  firefighters make bank. Has anybody ever stopped
• 19:26
  to ask what these what these guys make? It's
• 19:29
  a lot. It's insane. That's why the jobs are so
• 19:33
  sought after. The competition is fierce to get
• 19:37
  these jobs because the hours are great and the
• 19:40
  pay is insanely good. And of course, everybody
• 19:43
  also looks up to them like they're God's gift
• 19:46
  to mankind or something. They're just people
• 19:48
  who do a job. But you can't say no to firefighters.
• 19:55
  I'm starting to think we should maybe try to
• 19:58
  raise some temporary funds for no ID and for
• 20:01
  podcasters everywhere What if we do a podcasters
• 20:04
  calendar where we're like, you know We're posing
• 20:06
  seductively in our in our podcasting uniforms
• 20:09
  next to like next to the pool table at the fire
• 20:12
  It gives you get the the like Chippendales firefighters,
• 20:15
  you know, cuz they're they're worshiped like
• 20:16
  the god kings that they are Why don't we do something
• 20:19
  like that? I mean podcasters, you know, we'll
• 20:21
  have we'll have Adam and John we'll have we'll
• 20:24
  have Adam Corolla we'll have you know, we'll
• 20:25
  have some of the Mark Mount Rushmore podcaster
• 20:29
  guys and we'll just have them, you know, just
• 20:30
  with their six -pack abs We'll use AI, you know,
• 20:33
  I feel like we could raise some money that way
• 20:36
  And they would people would chief says the main
• 20:41
  reason for the million -dollar increase is due
• 20:43
  to the inflation of safety gear I mean our mission
• 20:46
  is we're asking for what we need We're not asking
• 20:49
  for anything extra. The district says for property
• 20:51
  owners, the difference between what they're already
• 20:53
  paying and the proposed levy. Have you ever heard
• 20:55
  any of them ever say like, no, we're asking for
• 20:58
  this because we want to buy an ice cream machine.
• 21:01
  Oh, they always say no, no, it's for essentials.
• 21:03
  It's always for essentials. And then the ice
• 21:05
  cream machine just shows up. It's just the things
• 21:07
  we need. And again, for everyone that hears this
• 21:10
  stuff. Ice cream is good for morale. So if you
• 21:12
  guys had your houses on fire, you wouldn't care
• 21:14
  if anybody showed up. Is that it? You guys hate
• 21:16
  firefighters. Is that it? This is how like so
• 21:19
  many people hear this stuff. They just can't
• 21:21
  make the decision. I just hate government employees.
• 21:23
  I won't. And and how the media presents it deconstructing
• 21:27
  how this is from KREM Channel to how they're
• 21:30
  presenting it. It's always a it's always pro
• 21:32
  take more of your money to reallocate your money
• 21:36
  to other people's salaries. And you can't opt
• 21:39
  out. Even how they start the story is like, when
• 21:43
  Tom, Dick, and Harry, your friendly neighborhood
• 21:46
  firefighters who live next door and are loving
• 21:49
  husbands who love their families and need a good
• 21:52
  paying job, when they're out there saving your
• 21:54
  house, they're not thinking about their bills,
• 21:56
  they're thinking about you. There's no time to
• 21:59
  think about the bills, citizens, so pay up through
• 22:02
  the nose or you are heartless. It drives me.
• 22:06
  fucking bonkers. You know what, privatize it.
• 22:09
  We need to privatize it just like anything else.
• 22:10
  You know what they it's they're not heroes. They're
• 22:14
  people who do a job like everybody else. They
• 22:18
  voluntarily took the job like everybody else.
• 22:21
  I get so bent out of shape over especially especially
• 22:26
  first responders getting lionized like they're
• 22:30
  just so awesome and amazing. And so let's give
• 22:32
  them all the money we can possibly give them.
• 22:34
  No, man, you know who's awesome and amazing?
• 22:36
  Like the linemen who keeps my power running in
• 22:40
  a storm and works for a vista. Nobody ever lionizes
• 22:43
  those guys, but those dudes are in it. They're
• 22:47
  in the shit. Like those guys are the heroes.
• 22:52
  And of course, firefighters are basically glorified
• 22:54
  EMS dudes. I know this because my brother -in
• 22:57
  -law worked was trying really hard down the firefighter
• 23:01
  track for years and years and years. You gotta
• 23:03
  get every cert in the book, you gotta do all
• 23:05
  this, jump through all the hoops, you gotta know
• 23:06
  all the right people, it's super competitive,
• 23:08
  and at the end of the day, you mostly don't get
• 23:09
  a slot unless you know somebody. And the vast
• 23:13
  majority of what they do has nothing to do with
• 23:15
  firefighting and everything to do with being
• 23:17
  a glorified EMS in a big red truck. You respond
• 23:23
  to crashes, you respond to medical calls, very
• 23:27
  little of it, especially up here, is firefighting,
• 23:30
  except for when the wildfires break out. or if
• 23:32
  somebody's house happens to I mean, which is
• 23:34
  so rare. It's so rare. And it's it's not to say
• 23:38
  to that like, no heroic actions ever take place
• 23:41
  by any of the guys who do these jobs. Of course,
• 23:43
  they do. Like that, of course, say that that
• 23:46
  a lot of these guys aren't like family men who
• 23:50
  work hard and all of that is true, too. But these
• 23:54
  things remain true independent of one another.
• 23:56
  The media shills on behalf of this structure.
• 24:00
  While a lot of the individuals are just are fine
• 24:03
  good people, you know stand up members of the
• 24:05
  community whatever they're both true It doesn't
• 24:08
  mean that we hate them to an individual and it
• 24:10
  doesn't mean that these are honest presentations
• 24:12
  by the media I Mean our messages we're asking
• 24:17
  for what we need We're not asking for anything
• 24:19
  extra. The district says for property owners,
• 24:22
  the difference between what they're already paying
• 24:24
  and the proposed levy would be about $6 .90.
• 24:28
  These crews respond to emergencies from Hayden
• 24:30
  to Rathdrum and everything in between. Chief
• 24:33
  Croft, they didn't even explain it properly though.
• 24:35
  All they said was $6 .90. So if you're listening
• 24:38
  to this and pass, you don't know what's actually
• 24:40
  going on. You just think oh. Oh, it's just $6
• 24:43
  .90 more. Well, who in their right mind would
• 24:45
  say no? No, what it is, is it goes from being
• 24:48
  nine, I think right now the rate is like $95
• 24:52
  per $100 ,000 of assessed value on your property.
• 24:56
  So if your property is worth a million dollars,
• 24:59
  you're paying, so divide a million by 10, right?
• 25:02
  Or divide it by, I guess, 100 ,000. That's 10.
• 25:05
  10 times 95 means your property, tax bill at
• 25:10
  least the portion of it that goes just for these
• 25:13
  guys just for the northern lakes fire district
• 25:16
  that doesn't count anything else that's just
• 25:18
  the fire district that's nine hundred and fifty
• 25:20
  dollars as it is now and they're asking for another
• 25:25
  six what was it 690 on top so okay uh 95 plus
• 25:31
  69 and i know my numbers are pretty damn close
• 25:33
  they may not be exact but they're pretty damn
• 25:35
  close so now you're 101 .9 So you're another
• 25:39
  what is that another 60? 70 some odd dollars
• 25:42
  across a year, which doesn't seem like a lot
• 25:45
  and that's the point They try not to make it
• 25:47
  seem like a lot, but you're over a thousand dollars
• 25:49
  a year A thousand dollars a year man. Just for
• 25:52
  this ever does it's just that it's one thing
• 25:54
  on top of the next on top of the next It's just
• 25:57
  it's a it's a bullet point List that's just a
• 26:00
  thousand items long and maybe not any individual
• 26:03
  one and once again like it doesn't that's all
• 26:06
  Arbitrary like what you consider to be a lot
• 26:08
  is gonna be a person a person It is again about
• 26:11
  how this is being presented by the mainstream.
• 26:13
  That was a piss poor presentation It's six dollars
• 26:16
  and ninety cents. Anyway, moving on like wait
• 26:18
  a minute. No, it's not It's not it's more than
• 26:22
  that and it's across two years so it's doubly
• 26:26
  more than that And then if you are living out
• 26:28
  there and your property is worth what most properties
• 26:31
  worth out there, it's a huge. That's a huge line
• 26:33
  item, man. And then ultimately, it's so frustrating.
• 26:37
  We go over this, I guess, week after week. But,
• 26:40
  you know, the whole like, it's only this much
• 26:41
  more. Well, fuck you, because you have 25, 30,
• 26:45
  40 different parts of the government, state,
• 26:48
  county, between state, county, city and federal,
• 26:50
  who every single season it's the same. Oh, it's
• 26:52
  only one percent more. It's only three percent
• 26:54
  more. It's only six dollars and 90 cents more.
• 26:56
  You add it all up and all of a sudden we're at
• 26:58
  50%, man. Like what they take from us, and that's
• 27:03
  just what's seen. Like what we can actually see
• 27:05
  is a line item tax. It's somewhere in the realm
• 27:08
  of 40 to 50 % at this point that is stolen from
• 27:11
  us. That doesn't count the shit that is unseen,
• 27:14
  which is basically goods and services we pay
• 27:17
  more for. because of fees, regulations, and taxes
• 27:21
  that we don't even see on the other side of the
• 27:23
  counter that get baked into the price of what
• 27:25
  we pay because the end user always pays. And
• 27:30
  that's us. We're the end user. And there's no
• 27:33
  opt out to any of it. So it's like, well, so
• 27:35
  you guys are like, if there's an option to like,
• 27:38
  uh, now you're okay. You have an option and your
• 27:40
  house is on fires. You would opt for these guys
• 27:42
  not to show up. First of all, I don't know. You
• 27:45
  didn't give me that choice. I don't even know
• 27:47
  what that world would look like because you don't
• 27:49
  ever give anyone that choice. You just. Okay.
• 27:52
  I don't know. Let's finish this stupid clip.
• 27:53
  I'm going to. Yeah. Well, it would also force
• 27:55
  competition. Yeah, no, I mean, that's my beef
• 27:58
  is like, I don't think cops shouldn't exist.
• 28:01
  I think they shouldn't exist in this form as
• 28:02
  a monopoly. Same thing with firefighters. That's
• 28:04
  the point. It shouldn't be monopolized by one
• 28:07
  Leviathan antiquated entity that will kill me
• 28:11
  if I resist, extract it from me, whether I want
• 28:14
  it or not, and then has no incentive to provide
• 28:17
  the services I want because they don't have to.
• 28:20
  I want it all privatized. I would sign up for
• 28:23
  a private a private thing. Perhaps, or I might
• 28:27
  not. That's on me. It's up to me. But it would
• 28:29
  definitely run better and cost less. Chief Crawford
• 28:32
  says if this new levy does not pass, it will
• 28:35
  directly affect those who need help in the future.
• 28:39
  We would have to go back to probably two man
• 28:40
  stations, you know, what we were at in 2018,
• 28:44
  2019, you know, and that would be devastating
• 28:47
  with the growth here. Something else that bears
• 28:51
  mentioning is the nature of all of the reasons
• 28:56
  given for why every why these whatever districts
• 29:00
  entities find themselves in this position and
• 29:02
  it's referred to constantly we've of course discussed
• 29:06
  it as has you know infinity other places the
• 29:09
  inflation everything's going up oh the fire truck
• 29:11
  that used to be 700k is now 1 .3 million so everything
• 29:15
  is inflated all of the equipment is inflated
• 29:17
  they don't mention the salaries and benefits
• 29:19
  but those get inflated and the huge influx, the
• 29:24
  growth, the inflation and the growth, the inflation
• 29:25
  and the growth. When you boil down the causes
• 29:29
  for why did this place, why did North Idaho and
• 29:32
  Idaho in general explode in population in the
• 29:35
  last six years? Why did that happen? Well, I
• 29:39
  think we've discussed it ad nauseam as has many,
• 29:42
  people like me, my archetype came here because
• 29:47
  of what the state did to us in our former even
• 29:49
  more totalitarian locales. So the state drove
• 29:52
  us here. That drove the population increase was
• 29:55
  how the state behaved. Then the inflation was
• 29:59
  also caused by the state because they turned
• 30:01
  on the Fed money printers and devalued the currencies
• 30:04
  ridiculously in the last six years. So literally,
• 30:07
  you got like a someone who is employed by the
• 30:10
  state who's incentivized to keep the money rolling
• 30:13
  in because that's how he draws his salary, explaining
• 30:15
  that the state Doing this and the state doing
• 30:18
  that is the reason even though he doesn't say
• 30:20
  that you see what I'm saying It's also circular
• 30:21
  this all comes down to one thing and then now
• 30:25
  we're told that this apparatus that caused all
• 30:27
  of it in the first place Simply needs to extract
• 30:29
  just a little bit more from us temporarily this
• 30:32
  one time Yeah, meanwhile inflation also has hit
• 30:36
  all of us. It's almost as if they just don't
• 30:39
  care or forget or just it does it doesn't connect
• 30:41
  like our budgets are getting blown apart because
• 30:45
  of inflation. And all of us down below them as
• 30:47
  the normal people are like, yeah, we know we
• 30:50
  buy groceries. Leave us alone, please stop taxing
• 30:55
  us. Our wages didn't go up. Unlike Unlike the
• 31:01
  government, unlike the state, we can't vote a
• 31:04
  raise for ourselves. We can't just be like, oh,
• 31:06
  all in favor of extracting more from the peasants,
• 31:09
  say aye. We don't get to do that. We are the
• 31:11
  peasants. We're the end users. So we're the ones
• 31:14
  who get extracted. Wild, man. It is wild stuff.
• 31:19
  Watching these guys talk about how they need
• 31:22
  more money is just it's so gnarly. We need this
• 31:25
  money. We need this money. Let's as long as we're
• 31:30
  on that. Here's the here's my schools from KTVB.
• 31:34
  Our top story here tonight. I was public school
• 31:36
  funding formula has not been updated for decades,
• 31:40
  so now state education leaders are pushing for
• 31:43
  major changes to it. Aspen Schumpert spoke to
• 31:45
  the Department of Education today and Aspen.
• 31:47
  It sounds like they're planning on bringing this
• 31:48
  up during the next legislative session. Yeah,
• 31:51
  and the department says this model is going to
• 31:52
  reflect what they've been hearing from school
• 31:54
  administrators, parents, families across the
• 31:57
  state who have an input. on how they want to
• 31:59
  see dollars going to classrooms. Updating the
• 32:03
  funding formula has been a conversation, a serious
• 32:05
  conversation for a decade or more in our state.
• 32:10
  Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education
• 32:12
  Chief Financial Officer, says the state hasn't
• 32:15
  updated its public school funding formula since
• 32:17
  1994. Why do they do that? Why do they read the
• 32:22
  news to us? while having another conversation
• 32:25
  going on in the background. That is so irritating.
• 32:28
  I don't understand that. Can you guys go to a
• 32:30
  quiet room, please? Or can you have your segment
• 32:33
  producer tell the people in the background to
• 32:35
  pipe down for 30 seconds? I know it's crazy.
• 32:37
  They're like loudly discussing behind the guy
• 32:40
  with the lav mic. Well, I'm pretty sure they
• 32:42
  set this up where it's like a prerecorded on
• 32:44
  top of another recording type thing so that they
• 32:47
  could absolutely not have that background conversation
• 32:50
  going on. I don't actually I don't know if it
• 32:54
  was in this particular. Yeah. But well, both
• 32:56
  versions happen all the time. What you just described
• 32:58
  happens all the time. And then being in noisy
• 33:00
  rooms where people are just loudly conversing
• 33:02
  right behind the camera guy also happens. Either
• 33:05
  way, I don't know why it's impossible to interview
• 33:07
  Gideon Tolman, the CFO of a state apparatus in
• 33:10
  a quiet space. But apparently it's impossible.
• 33:14
  You want to guess how much Gideon Tolman makes?
• 33:18
  Oh, is he a superintendent? He is the state superintendent.
• 33:24
  Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education,
• 33:26
  chief financial officer. Oh, OK. I bet the CFO
• 33:31
  for the Idaho cartel known as Education, this
• 33:36
  dude probably makes over a quarter of a mil.
• 33:38
  He's somewhere between 250 and 350. Well, from
• 33:43
  what I could tell, it's and it's we just have
• 33:46
  a we have a base salary that's public record,
• 33:48
  and that's more like 150. Yeah, but that does
• 33:51
  not include all of the, of course, benefits packages.
• 33:54
  Yep. And that was you got retirement contributions,
• 33:58
  health insurance, dental and vision, life insurance,
• 34:01
  employer payroll taxes and other state benefits
• 34:03
  that are maybe not. public or weren't easily
• 34:06
  findable. So you probably right. You probably
• 34:09
  have per diems for when he travels, you have
• 34:12
  guaranteed cost of living adjustments. I'm sure
• 34:14
  there's housing allowance stuff baked into there
• 34:16
  somewhere. He may not even he may drive a rig
• 34:21
  that belongs to the school district. So he doesn't
• 34:23
  pay for his own rig that stuff happens sometimes
• 34:25
  to did the platinum benefits alone are worth
• 34:28
  easily another problem 50 to 100k guaranteed.
• 34:31
  That's how this stuff works. This is that's also
• 34:33
  how they do it. So to save on payroll. Sure,
• 34:36
  of course. Now this is the expert that the mainstream
• 34:39
  media is going to feature to explain to us why
• 34:41
  we need a different funding model for public
• 34:43
  schools. Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education
• 34:46
  Chief Financial Officer, says the state hasn't
• 34:48
  updated its public school funding formula since
• 34:51
  1994. We need to make some updates to reflect
• 34:54
  the changes that have happened in those years.
• 34:57
  Changes like major population boom, technology
• 34:59
  advancements, and a growing number of students
• 35:02
  who need more resources. The Jem State funds...
• 35:05
  That's not true. Enrollment has been decreasing.
• 35:10
  That's one of the issues because the funding,
• 35:14
  that is a lie. That is one of the issues with
• 35:17
  the funding formula that has been brought up
• 35:19
  is that when you get paid per student, but you're
• 35:22
  losing, you're hemorrhaging students, then you
• 35:25
  get less money. And that's one of the big beefs
• 35:27
  right now going around the Idaho public school
• 35:30
  system. They are not, I mean, maybe some districts
• 35:34
  are growing, but there is only a handful of districts
• 35:36
  that are growing. As a state, and on the average,
• 35:41
  the public education system is losing students,
• 35:43
  even in Idaho. It's not as fast in Idaho as it
• 35:46
  is in other places, but it's to the tune of something
• 35:49
  like one or 2 % over the last couple of years.
• 35:53
  Let's hear one more time how they phrase that.
• 35:59
  A growing number of students who need more resources.
• 36:08
  Okay, so it even got me the first time around.
• 36:11
  You're right, I had to replay it a second time.
• 36:12
  Basically, not that the districts are growing
• 36:15
  and that there are more students, but that there
• 36:18
  are more students who need... more resources,
• 36:21
  whatever that means, I guess. Less total, more
• 36:23
  per. More per, yeah. Wow. Yeah, isn't it interesting
• 36:28
  though that it even got you when it blows right
• 36:30
  past you, but that's exactly what they are attempting
• 36:33
  to do. That's the impression that it is meant
• 36:35
  to leave. Oof. Oof. Gotcha, bitch! Man, he even
• 36:43
  got me. But unlike most of them, I had a retort
• 36:47
  ready to rock where it's like, no, no, I actually
• 36:49
  know what's going on here. What you've just said
• 36:52
  is a lie. It turns out what they've said. Well,
• 36:54
  we didn't actually technically say it. Yeah,
• 36:58
  it's not a bald -faced lie, but it's a non -truth,
• 37:02
  which to me is the same as a lie. What motivation
• 37:08
  could the CFO possibly have for talking about
• 37:10
  changing the, I mean, you know, it's almost like
• 37:13
  the people whose own interest is deeply involved
• 37:15
  in the way that this whole thing works, maybe
• 37:20
  want more money again. They're very good at masking
• 37:24
  themselves as a legitimate private entity. And
• 37:27
  then when you really pull everything back and
• 37:29
  you pull these layers back, you realize who you're
• 37:32
  dealing with. You're dealing with the cartel.
• 37:34
  I would like to ask the robot so we can get some
• 37:37
  specific percentages. Over the last five years,
• 37:41
  as concisely as possible, give me the public
• 37:44
  school enrollment percentages in Idaho. Are they
• 37:46
  going up or going down? One sec. If you mean
• 37:53
  public school enrollment, it ticked out slightly
• 37:56
  through 2023 -24, then declined for two years.
• 38:01
  So it's down over the last five years span. From
• 38:04
  roughly 314 ,000 in 2023 -24 to about 310 ,000
• 38:11
  in 2025 -26. So down overall. But you'll notice,
• 38:17
  Chauncey said over a five year span, it decreased,
• 38:21
  which means, which means that, so it had an uptick
• 38:25
  between 23 and 24, a small uptick. but that means
• 38:29
  it was decreasing before 2324 and after 2324.
• 38:35
  Yes, and down over the last five years. So which
• 38:37
  is why they have to phrase it the way that they
• 38:40
  do because enrollment is down. So wouldn't that
• 38:43
  mean you need less money? Yep. Well, and if,
• 38:47
  if so even so even AI is sort of, uh, sort of
• 38:52
  doing the new speak type thing, because if If
• 38:55
  enrollment had only been decreasing from 24 -25
• 38:58
  and 25 -26, then the time span Chauncey used
• 39:02
  would have been three years, or two years even,
• 39:05
  not five. But he used five years. So it was decreasing
• 39:09
  before 23 -24 and decreasing after 23 -24. So
• 39:15
  sort of like saying it started at 325 ,000, then
• 39:18
  went down to 320, then went down to 310, and
• 39:25
  then ticked back up to 314 and then ticked back
• 39:29
  down the next two years. Surge! A 50 % increase
• 39:40
  in students that need a lot of resources. Well,
• 39:43
  and it's interesting too, because, you know,
• 39:45
  it gives me the text of what I said, my exact
• 39:47
  words over the last five years, as concisely
• 39:49
  as possible, give me the public school enrollment
• 39:50
  figures, sorry, enrollment percentages in Idaho.
• 39:53
  Are they going up or going down? The answer is
• 39:56
  down. It didn't give you the percentages. You're
• 39:58
  right, it did not. That's interesting. I asked
• 40:01
  for percentages, it gave me hard numbers. It
• 40:03
  gave you hard raw numbers. Why did it say it
• 40:06
  ticked up? It leads with, it ticked up slightly
• 40:09
  through 23 through 24. But I said over the last
• 40:12
  five years, as concisely as possible, what are
• 40:14
  the enrollment percentages? Are they going up
• 40:16
  or going down? For some reason, it picks an arbitrary
• 40:19
  year in that window where it ticked up and it
• 40:22
  leads with that. What does that have to do with
• 40:24
  what I asked? Newspeak, dude, it's so it's everywhere.
• 40:30
  Even the AI has it. Wow. All right. Let's keep
• 40:33
  going on. Well, it's almost like AI has been
• 40:35
  designed by our lizard overlords. Well, weird.
• 40:39
  Well, you think you think they're going to give
• 40:41
  you a tool like that that isn't that hasn't already
• 40:44
  been trained and curated the way they want? Like
• 40:48
  there's no way that they'll give us a tool to
• 40:50
  tear off our own shackles. Yeah. Changes like
• 40:54
  major population boom, technology advancements,
• 40:57
  and a growing number of students who need more
• 40:59
  resources. The Gem State funds public schools
• 41:02
  based on average daily attendance. Essentially
• 41:04
  what it takes to staff a classroom. And so there's
• 41:07
  a portion of a teacher, a portion of a classified
• 41:11
  staff, and an administrative staff to support
• 41:13
  a classroom. Are you a special education student?
• 41:17
  OK. Did I keep going? No, I'm just going, yeah,
• 41:25
  okay, that was all word salad. You see, it takes
• 41:29
  staff to staff the staff. And then there's a
• 41:33
  staff to support the staff when the staff needs
• 41:36
  a staff support staff. Are you a special education
• 41:40
  student or an English language learner or an
• 41:43
  economically disadvantaged student or in an alternative
• 41:46
  program? And those students require more resources.
• 41:51
  Why does an economically disadvantaged student
• 41:54
  require more? Aren't they going to school for
• 41:56
  free already? Do you walk in is public education?
• 42:02
  I mean, I haven't been in for 20 years. I graduated
• 42:04
  in 06. But things change so much that if you
• 42:08
  walk in and they're like, hey, take this questionnaire,
• 42:11
  you take it like, oh, it turns out you're poor.
• 42:12
  Come with us. They lead you into another section
• 42:15
  of the school. They're like, this is for the
• 42:16
  poor kids where we give you more stuff or more
• 42:19
  resources. Welcome to the poor wing. Well, that
• 42:22
  section has an ice cream machine. There's more
• 42:23
  resources. Oh, that's where the ice cream is
• 42:27
  good for morale. Tolman says the current model
• 42:29
  worked well when everyone was going to their
• 42:32
  neighborhood schools. But now there are other
• 42:34
  options like charter schools and online learning.
• 42:36
  Yes, probably past time to take a look at how
• 42:40
  to better. incorporate those other elements into
• 42:44
  our funding formula. This summer. So what you
• 42:47
  have is we finally figured out a way to starve
• 42:50
  these bastards of the money because that's the
• 42:52
  only way to beat the government at its own game,
• 42:54
  literally just to starve them of cash any way
• 42:56
  you can. And the answer was to do alternative
• 43:01
  schooling. And now our generation, Scott, yours
• 43:04
  and mine, we're really doing it in a way that
• 43:06
  hasn't been seen in 100 years or more. And now
• 43:10
  the schools are like, oh, this formula doesn't
• 43:13
  work. Like they're down three whole percent and
• 43:17
  the formula is already failing them because it's
• 43:20
  not enough money. So now they're now they have
• 43:22
  to change the rules, change the formula so they
• 43:25
  can be funded a different way and get as much
• 43:28
  money as possible a different way, because we
• 43:30
  can't be doing it based on how many students
• 43:33
  we teach anymore. We have to do it based on another
• 43:36
  metric yet to be seen. I mean, these cuts are
• 43:41
  killing people. The formula worked fantastic
• 43:43
  when basically nobody opted out. But now that
• 43:47
  a noticeable percentage of people are opting
• 43:49
  out, this is unacceptable. This summer, State
• 43:52
  Department of Ed staff traveled the state to
• 43:54
  hear from school leaders, teachers, and families
• 43:57
  on what should be prioritized. They always include
• 44:00
  that part, too. I know we're taking forever on
• 44:02
  this one, but there's so much to break down in
• 44:05
  every damn sentence. Families. It's always important
• 44:07
  that they include that last part, right? Teachers,
• 44:10
  administrators, educators, and, of course, the
• 44:13
  most important part of this equation, families.
• 44:15
  But you know the families? They don't give a
• 44:18
  shit about families. They only give a shit about
• 44:20
  the families who are heavily invested in the
• 44:24
  public indoctrination system. Those are the families
• 44:26
  they want to hear from, and those are the families
• 44:27
  that are being referred to in this report. You
• 44:30
  know the families that they hate? That's us.
• 44:34
  We're those families, Scott. They don't give
• 44:36
  a shit about us and our families. In fact, they
• 44:38
  hate us. We're the reason they're scrambling
• 44:40
  for money. Even though When I pay my property
• 44:44
  taxes and my income taxes and my sales taxes
• 44:46
  and my gambling taxes and my alcohol taxes, a
• 44:48
  bunch of that shit still goes into their slush
• 44:51
  funds. So they still get a bunch of my money.
• 44:54
  I never get it back. We educate on our own dime,
• 44:58
  but they hate us anyways because of what we represent.
• 45:01
  And because when we pull our kids out, they don't
• 45:04
  get the attendance. So they get less money, less
• 45:06
  of my money. We're not the families they care
• 45:10
  about. Well, let's interview Gideon Tolman, the
• 45:14
  Idaho CFO for the public, the Idaho Department
• 45:17
  of Education. Let's interview his wife and see
• 45:19
  what she says. Okay, well, that's what the families
• 45:21
  have to say. Teachers and families on what should
• 45:24
  be prioritized in the funding model. Tolman says
• 45:27
  three main topics kept coming up, including enrollment
• 45:30
  -based funding, which the state used briefly
• 45:33
  during the pandemic to provide stable budgets
• 45:35
  to districts. If you have 90 % of your students
• 45:38
  coming or 100 % of your students coming, It's
• 45:40
  the same fixed cost for running the building,
• 45:43
  staffing the building, having a teacher in the
• 45:46
  classroom. Idahoans also want to see the public
• 45:49
  education budget grow to reduce the burden on
• 45:51
  taxpayers when districts continually ask for
• 45:54
  bonds and levies. Not all Idahoans. Let's hear
• 45:56
  that. Thank you for speaking for me though. What
• 45:58
  did they just say? Idahoans want more money taken
• 46:01
  from their own pockets. How did they phrase that?
• 46:03
  Idahoans also want to see the public education
• 46:05
  budget grow to reduce the burden on taxpayers
• 46:08
  when districts continually ask for bonds and
• 46:10
  levies. They want to see the budget grow, which
• 46:13
  comes from the taxpayers, but then to reduce
• 46:16
  the burden on taxpayers when they're asked for
• 46:18
  money. What? What does I don't understand? Well,
• 46:23
  it doesn't make sense if you don't think about
• 46:25
  it, but yes, somehow. Please tax us harder so
• 46:31
  that we can be taxed less hard. Idahoans want
• 46:33
  it! All Idahoans want. More taxation so we can
• 46:39
  have less taxation. But it might work for us.
• 46:44
  And they hope to see more support for special
• 46:46
  education, which public schools are required
• 46:49
  to provide. No, I don't. The best support for
• 46:53
  special education is for parents to nut up and
• 46:55
  take care of their own children in a homeschool
• 46:58
  environment where they'll get the attention and
• 46:59
  love they deserve. That is the best program for
• 47:03
  special education kids is you teaching your kids
• 47:07
  and loving on them and giving them the education
• 47:10
  that works for them. I know. Crazy, right? I'm
• 47:13
  probably going to get called a fascist now. There
• 47:17
  is about a hundred million dollar gap between
• 47:20
  what schools receive for special education student
• 47:25
  costs. what those costs actually are. While federal
• 47:29
  money covers some special education funding,
• 47:32
  Tolman says it's not enough. But that state funding
• 47:36
  is based on every district and charter having
• 47:38
  6 % of their student population qualified as
• 47:42
  special education. And we know that for most
• 47:44
  districts and charters, it's actually closer
• 47:46
  to double that, more like 12 % of their student
• 47:49
  population as special education. So that gap
• 47:52
  between 6 % and 12%. Is this guy literally making
• 47:55
  the argument that I think he's making where he's
• 47:57
  like, so as far as statistics go, reports say
• 48:01
  that 6 % of our student body is retarded, but
• 48:04
  it's actually double that 12 % of our kids are
• 48:08
  retarded. Give us more money. That's what he's
• 48:10
  saying. They're they're wildly underestimating
• 48:13
  the percentages of mongos. And so we need it's
• 48:16
  what we have is not enough. It's not enough.
• 48:18
  So that gap between the six and 12 % is then
• 48:21
  I'm sorry, Mr. Mr. CFO. Mongo is a wildly outdated
• 48:25
  term. Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, the retards is
• 48:27
  way more retards. So that gap between the six
• 48:30
  and 12. Think of the children, but even worse.
• 48:34
  Think of the retarded children. Think of them.
• 48:38
  Leave. So that gap between the 6 and 12 percent
• 48:42
  is then covered by supplemental levies. Now the
• 48:45
  Department of Ed is working with state lawmakers
• 48:47
  to create a model they'll pitch during the upcoming
• 48:50
  legislative session. Is it a matter of redistributing
• 48:54
  the existing amount of money that we have for
• 48:57
  public schools? Is it adding more money? Is it
• 49:00
  a combination of both? And at this point, we
• 49:02
  think it'll probably be a combination of both.
• 49:05
  Two years ago, the department. I'm pretty sure
• 49:07
  this guy is a gay communist, which are basically
• 49:10
  the same thing. I know it's a redundancy, but
• 49:12
  I'm pretty sure this dude is a gay communist.
• 49:14
  That is so good. So this is one of those instances
• 49:16
  where he starts interviewing himself. Is it about
• 49:19
  redistribution? I think it is. Is it about taking
• 49:24
  more from people? I think it is. And at the end
• 49:27
  of the day, what do I think? I think we need
• 49:29
  to do both. We need to take more and we need
• 49:32
  to redistribute harder. At the end of the day,
• 49:35
  it's about students. Money. It's all about the
• 49:40
  staff. Money. And the special needs students.
• 49:44
  Money. Hey, don't worry, though. I brought my
• 49:49
  own questions for this interview. So That's OK.
• 49:52
  Don't worry. Do I think it's enough? Tolman says
• 49:55
  it's not enough. We I think that's that might
• 50:02
  be a sound bite right there. It's so perfectly
• 50:05
  tied into the Melissa Wintrow or whatever, and
• 50:10
  then tied in with the other gal. So you could
• 50:11
  basically the we it's not enough. These cuts
• 50:14
  are killing people. I like your taxes. Boom,
• 50:17
  boom, boom. Just if we all just pay Idaho cartel
• 50:20
  in a nutshell right there. I like your taxes.
• 50:22
  I like your taxes. Literally. Something like
• 50:27
  that. It's not enough. You know, if any of these
• 50:30
  people had their way, then most of these special
• 50:33
  needs students wouldn't even be alive anyways.
• 50:35
  They would have been aborted. So what are they
• 50:37
  complaining about? Oh, that's right. They're
• 50:38
  complaining because now they're a problem because
• 50:40
  they're alive. It's not enough. But all these
• 50:45
  crazy leftists, if they knew these kids were
• 50:47
  going to be special needs, would have just killed
• 50:49
  them in the womb anyways. Because compassion
• 50:52
  and whatnot Let's do mid show. What do you think
• 51:00
  on that topic? Yeah, another another thing about
• 51:03
  money seems like a good place speaking of being
• 51:06
  smothered in the cradle This is a value for value
• 51:11
  show no ID Yes, we are the opposite of all of
• 51:16
  this stuff. We don't redistribute We don't ask
• 51:20
  for, well, I guess we do ask for more, but we
• 51:22
  ask for it. We don't demand it. It's not temporary.
• 51:26
  This is an ongoing proposition. We're being honest
• 51:29
  with you with regard to how we are asking for
• 51:33
  not demanding, not putting it to a vote until
• 51:35
  you vote correctly, just asking for value in
• 51:39
  return if you find our program valuable. That's
• 51:41
  the value for value model. Well, one thing we
• 51:43
  don't do is trot out our retarded children and
• 51:46
  use them as a human shield for funding. So at
• 51:50
  the very least, you know, we don't stoop to that
• 51:53
  level. You're welcome, America. Well, see, the
• 51:55
  thing is, is we thought there was only one retard
• 51:57
  hosting no ID, but there's actually two. It's
• 51:59
  a much higher percentage than we previously thought.
• 52:02
  So we need this just more. They did. These hosts
• 52:04
  need more resources. 100 % surge in retardation
• 52:08
  on the no ID podcast. And if all else fails,
• 52:13
  you can always move back to the an epidemic and
• 52:15
  he'll be fine. It's a pandemic. It's a pandemic
• 52:19
  of, I don't even know. I've gotten lost in my
• 52:23
  own references. The CDC might get involved. The
• 52:26
  experts at the CDC. There's a data tracker. The
• 52:29
  experts! Yes, there's a data tracker for no ID.
• 52:34
  Yeah, yeah. There's not been a surge. There's
• 52:37
  no surge. It's not value season. value season.
• 52:43
  I'm sure we have some back to school special
• 52:45
  we can offer, but I don't know what it is because
• 52:47
  I don't know when school starts. So I'm here.
• 52:50
  They're they're moving home. We start. We say
• 52:53
  we start school. Well, it's earlier and earlier
• 52:55
  every year. So I think right after Independence
• 52:57
  Day, they're going to start school. Studies show
• 53:01
  that ample classroom time and zero breaks or
• 53:04
  outside time or sunshine or recess or body movement
• 53:07
  improves. Test scores. So the value for value
• 53:14
  model, which is more money. What the show runs
• 53:16
  on more money. We need money. I need money. The
• 53:23
  money does. All right. But if we're going to
• 53:25
  talk like that, we got to address the tarantula
• 53:28
  in the room. We're doing it. We're getting there.
• 53:30
  I want to go through all the different ways that
• 53:32
  you can return value to this program because
• 53:34
  it's a multitude of ways that you can return
• 53:37
  value. If you find our program valuable and that
• 53:40
  is time talent and treasure and that there's
• 53:43
  a lot of different bullet points under that subheading
• 53:46
  And time and talent you've heard a little bit
• 53:48
  of already it already where people have producers
• 53:51
  you guys are Producers of this program you help
• 53:54
  us make the show by submitting show art, which
• 53:57
  I got a couple of those this week articles and
• 54:00

  time and talent stuff? Oh, I got to read this
• 55:16
  message that was sent in and it says, hey, the
• 55:20
  river, the part of the river they were complaining
• 55:22
  about on the news. Well, it has water again.
• 55:25
  So I guess give the river keeper another hundred
• 55:27
  K. So one of our producers noticed that the river
• 55:33
  hath runneth dry and that all the cattle fell
• 55:37
  over. But it runneth dry no longer. And now there's
• 55:39
  water. I'm sure we'll be what we'll do is we'll
• 55:42
  cover that. We'll do audio from the mainstream
• 55:45
  media report on the the water being back in that
• 55:49
  part of the river that I'm sure is going to air
• 55:50
  and I'm sure you never. And that was only a couple
• 55:53
  of weeks ago, too, that we ran that that we ran
• 55:56
  that maybe less. What was it? Two weeks, three
• 55:58
  weeks, two weeks. Hey, it's a crisis. Oh, wait.
• 56:00
  Hey, the water's back. Anyway, moving along.
• 56:05
  Who was who was that who sent the article or
• 56:07
  was he they wanted him? It was a message It was
• 56:10
  that was that was that was Jack for the executive
• 56:13
  producer Jack who sent it was just a heat He
• 56:16
  just sent in a message because I think he was
• 56:18
  driving by and he noticed it and so that's the
• 56:21
  sort of value return I'm talking about where
• 56:22
  you keep us. Thank you Jack. Yeah You send us
• 56:25
  feedback on the stuff you're hearing on this
• 56:27
  program. It goes along love follow -ups like
• 56:29
  that Yeah, that's fantastic because it gives
• 56:31
  it gives such great credence to what we're doing
• 56:33
  here. Exactly. Oh, also leaving ratings or reviews.
• 56:38
  I've mentioned that the last couple shows if
• 56:40
  you just if you whatever you think of the program,
• 56:42
  I click the five stars if you think that it's
• 56:45
  worthy of it or whatever you think we have earned
• 56:48
  on whatever platform you're listening on. Ratings
• 56:50
  and reviews are helpful. And I guess like and
• 56:54
  subscribe on YouTube. I know it's so cliche and
• 56:56
  lame to say because everybody says it but we
• 56:58
  are on YouTube also. In fact, in fact, that's
• 57:00
  where I do my listening when I listen back to
• 57:02
  these shows to critique myself. Like and subscribe.
• 57:07
  Smash that like button. Oh, man. If I had an
• 57:11
  air horn, I'd play it. I'm glad you know Time
• 57:16
  and talent that's pretty well covers I think
• 57:18
  of the ways to contribute back time and talent
• 57:20
  to this program Oh boots on the ground reports
• 57:22
  I have a boots on the ground report from one
• 57:24
  of our insiders with the city of Spokane we'll
• 57:27
  get to that in second half a show I have a clip
• 57:29
  and then I have a Sweet some insider knowledge
• 57:33
  that you would you will not find in the mainstream
• 57:35
  So that sort of stuff is huge if your area of
• 57:38
  expertise stuff that you think we ought to know
• 57:40
  that is not easily findable That sort of thing.
• 57:42
  Everyone's an expert in something. So boots on
• 57:45
  the ground reports are extremely appreciated.
• 57:47
  So thanks, everybody, for contributing back value
• 57:50
  to our program. And please continue to do so.
• 57:52
  Now, the treasure portion of time talent treasure
• 57:55
  is, of course, just straight up currency. And
• 57:58
  that. It goes a long way to helping keep the
• 58:00
  lights on and keeping this program going. It
• 58:02
  takes a lot of effort and work to execute the
• 58:05
  show every week. As such, we did have an offline
• 58:08
  conversation this week, and I think this is what
• 58:10
  you were just mentioning a moment ago, Paul,
• 58:12
  where it's worth addressing. And you want me
• 58:15
  to take the lead on it or you got thoughts or
• 58:18
  set it up? I say you take the lead on it. I think
• 58:23
  your setups are good. And when there's spots
• 58:25
  to knock them down, I'll knock it down because
• 58:27
  I have a few thoughts, but I know you do, too.
• 58:30
  So I'll let you if you're up for it, I'll let
• 58:31
  you start. OK, gotcha. So so we received a message
• 58:34
  this week from one of our executive producers,
• 58:36
  and he said that we ought to consider how we're
• 58:41
  coming across when we discuss the treasure portion.
• 58:47
  of time talent treasure and our need for it slash
• 58:51
  how Paul and I and the show are thinking about
• 58:54
  money and And a couple of different specifics
• 58:58
  he brought up one that we've mentioned repeatedly
• 59:01
  That we haven't really done anything with the
• 59:04
  money that has been donated thus far that it's
• 59:06
  just sort of like ah We'll just we're just sort
• 59:08
  of it's sitting in the account and we don't have
• 59:10
  we haven't had any like Clear expenditures or
• 59:14
  capital investments or more equipment or whatever
• 59:16
  because it was sort of a a fixed initial Startup
• 59:19
  costs for the show, which is just you know, whatever
• 59:21
  the microphones and all that sort of thing And
• 59:23
  then the ongoing costs are they are there I mean,
• 59:26
  you know the the web hosting and all of the different
• 59:28
  ways that you continue to pay to Keep the show
• 59:32
  out there in the ether those are ongoing, but
• 59:34
  they're not crazy I mean, it's nothing like the
• 59:37
  retail hospitality world that Paul and I came
• 59:38
  from where the overhead is huge The overhead
• 59:41
  is relatively small and so therefore we haven't
• 59:43
  used much of it We've we've we've mentioned that
• 59:45
  a lot and then also Paul specifically brought
• 59:47
  up that You know, he's been making good money
• 59:51
  doing his what he's been doing for I don't know
• 59:54
  a day job if you want to call it that in the
• 59:56
  last year and then like, you know You've said
• 59:58
  like neither one of us needs the money And so
• 1:00:00
  this executive producer had mentioned that we
• 1:00:02
  might want to consider how we're coming across
• 1:00:05
  when we discuss money in that way and people's
• 1:00:09
  motivation to then donate. So I guess I'll step
• 1:00:13
  in and now with a couple of things. So and it's
• 1:00:16
  a it was about some valid points that he brought
• 1:00:18
  up. And I was I was irked about it, not at him,
• 1:00:21
  but just at the situation, because, well. I'm
• 1:00:25
  unfiltered. You know, me in particular, I can
• 1:00:27
  get myself in trouble. I say things and I mean
• 1:00:29
  one thing with them and other people hear something
• 1:00:31
  else. I'm unfiltered. I'm an open book. Pretty
• 1:00:34
  much. It's just how it is. My wife likes to use
• 1:00:36
  the term authentic. Apparently, that's a buzzword
• 1:00:38
  now. But yeah, I mean, I mean what I say, I say
• 1:00:40
  what I mean, I am what I am. And I mean, you
• 1:00:43
  guys at this point, if you listen, you know,
• 1:00:45
  so there's a couple a couple of things in there.
• 1:00:48
  Going back to the beginning is One thing that
• 1:00:51
  we also haven't mentioned that I'll mention now
• 1:00:53
  is that Scott and I both have put up a couple
• 1:00:55
  grand of our own money into this to get it started.
• 1:00:58
  So we're not we're not being blithe about any
• 1:01:02
  of it. And we don't mean to come off as if We're
• 1:01:05
  not grateful or that we don't need it or anything
• 1:01:08
  like that We've actually invested our a significant
• 1:01:10
  chunk of our own coin to get started and so the
• 1:01:14
  the executive producer donations They mean they
• 1:01:16
  actually do mean a lot to us. I hope we have
• 1:01:18
  conveyed that I mean, I've tried to be as great
• 1:01:21
  sound as grateful as I am and I think Scott too
• 1:01:24
  Because it's really cool. It's a sign. It's a
• 1:01:27
  What's the word I want like I have a lot of respect
• 1:01:30
  for somebody who puts their money where their
• 1:01:31
  mouths are where their principles are and in
• 1:01:33
  this case That's you guys executive producers
• 1:01:35
  doing that for us And we ourselves have done
• 1:01:39
  it for this show and if I guess I want to get
• 1:01:41
  a little a little Cliche or campy with it. I
• 1:01:44
  could say we've done it for you guys our listeners
• 1:01:47
  So we're into it a chunk of change as well the
• 1:01:51
  donations we've the executive producer contributions
• 1:01:53
  We've received have I would say at this juncture
• 1:01:57
  just about covered it So we're breaking even
• 1:02:00
  on the show give or take now the reason why we've
• 1:02:03
  mentioned we haven't Spent much of the funds
• 1:02:06
  is because once we did the initial outlay for
• 1:02:09
  all of the equipment for the software and then
• 1:02:11
  took Gosh, what was it, man? 20 hours of our
• 1:02:14
  time to get our just to get our audio set up.
• 1:02:16
  I mean, it was a lot. It's probably about across
• 1:02:18
  three or four sessions. It was a lot. And of
• 1:02:20
  course, you know, mostly because we're special
• 1:02:22
  needs. We're special needs hosts. That's a high
• 1:02:25
  percentage of retards trying to trying to work
• 1:02:28
  the potentiometers around here. Well, at that
• 1:02:30
  time, it was 50 percent of us was was caveman
• 1:02:33
  retarded. And that was me. I'll own up to it.
• 1:02:35
  Scott had to hold my like lead me by the nose
• 1:02:37
  here to get this stuff figured out. It's just
• 1:02:39
  not my jam. But we got it. We got it eventually.
• 1:02:42
  But the point is is it was definitely a major
• 1:02:44
  time investment and a monetary investment So
• 1:02:46
  we don't take your investment into us for granted.
• 1:02:50
  We just haven't hadn't Spent a bunch of it yet
• 1:02:53
  because well We didn't have really any big major
• 1:02:56
  expenditures and Scott and I are not the kind
• 1:02:58
  of guys to spend just for the sake of spending
• 1:03:01
  We have a few Yeah, no ice cream machines in
• 1:03:06
  the studio, man. We just we just haven't done
• 1:03:08
  it. You know, we're happy with a French press
• 1:03:09
  cup of coffee and a cigar. We keep it pretty
• 1:03:12
  simple. But the equipment that we run, it's expensive.
• 1:03:16
  So what in our minds, we've been saving the funds
• 1:03:19
  for either if we there's a couple of marketing
• 1:03:21
  campaigns we've been mulling over. Those are
• 1:03:23
  not cheap. We haven't pulled the trigger on anything
• 1:03:26
  yet because we're trying to find something that
• 1:03:28
  will provide an excellent rate of return. And
• 1:03:30
  that's hard to find. And everything, they're
• 1:03:33
  all expensive. It's just whether or not the rate
• 1:03:34
  of return justifies it. But also hardware, if
• 1:03:36
  the hardware goes down, right off the bat, we're
• 1:03:40
  anywhere from $200 to $500 to replace hardware.
• 1:03:43
  So we've just been judiciously eyeballing what
• 1:03:47
  we want to do next and making sure that we have
• 1:03:49
  the coin to back it. And that's really it. It's
• 1:03:52
  nothing about us being blithe and just being
• 1:03:54
  like, oh, well, it doesn't matter. And we'll
• 1:03:55
  just let it sit here forever and ever. Don't
• 1:03:58
  worry. it'll get used at some point and it is
• 1:04:00
  very much appreciated. And then as far as I guess
• 1:04:03
  me talking about my day job and you know Scott
• 1:04:07
  and I both have part -time day jobs and we're
• 1:04:09
  also both in positions where we've sold our businesses
• 1:04:11
  and and we're in an interesting spot of life
• 1:04:15
  that is unique but also I think necessary for
• 1:04:17
  both of us as we rebuild our lives in different
• 1:04:20
  ways and heal physically and mentally and emotionally
• 1:04:23
  from different things and you know both of us
• 1:04:25
  have been through a lot. in the last few years.
• 1:04:28
  And so I think we're it's been a blessing to
• 1:04:31
  both of us. It's given us the time to put this
• 1:04:33
  project together. Is it a path? So now I'm going
• 1:04:35
  to do the the Department of Education CFO thing.
• 1:04:38
  I'm bringing my own questions now. Is it a project
• 1:04:41
  of passion, a passion project? Yes. Does it mean
• 1:04:45
  a lot to us? Yes. Do we put a lot of time and
• 1:04:48
  energy into it? Yes. Scott, in particular, though,
• 1:04:52
  to Scott's credit, he does 80 percent of the
• 1:04:54
  heavy lifting. And I really appreciate it. So
• 1:04:57
  I'm the lucky one. I get to show up and be the
• 1:05:00
  color commentary and I come prepared with some
• 1:05:02
  things and I send a lot of articles when they
• 1:05:04
  come across my desk, but Scott's the one who
• 1:05:07
  really sets the show up. So this is a labor of
• 1:05:12
  love that we hope will turn into something that's,
• 1:05:15
  you know, something we do maybe more than once
• 1:05:17
  a week, something that does generate revenue
• 1:05:19
  and becomes a we have a business that we have
• 1:05:22
  a literal LLC, we file taxes, we show revenue,
• 1:05:27
  yada, yada, yada, yada, so on and so forth. So
• 1:05:30
  yeah, contributions are part of that formula.
• 1:05:33
  And we really do appreciate them. And they are
• 1:05:35
  part of our business, a business we genuinely
• 1:05:37
  sincerely hope will grow and can only grow via
• 1:05:42
  you guys. spreading the word and, you know, putting
• 1:05:46
  in contributions when and where you find value
• 1:05:48
  with us. And that's kind of the deal. So yeah,
• 1:05:52
  when I when I mentioned like, yeah, making decent
• 1:05:54
  money right now my job, it's not because I'm
• 1:05:56
  trying to brag or flex or say we don't need it.
• 1:05:59
  It's more just like I was saying it more because
• 1:06:02
  I was telling a story about how irritated I was
• 1:06:04
  at the government and how much time of mine they
• 1:06:06
  abused. It was like, hey, fuck you. I'm billing
• 1:06:08
  you for this. But I was also out of gratitude.
• 1:06:12
  So yeah, you know, but there's also the other
• 1:06:15
  thing too is, you know, when you, you know, you
• 1:06:17
  say you make exit X amount an hour, but when
• 1:06:20
  you, you know, you work 15, 20 hours a week doing
• 1:06:22
  that, it's not like a full -time gig where you're,
• 1:06:24
  you know, and the math is different than people
• 1:06:28
  might think, but, but even then Scott and I were
• 1:06:33
  talking about that too. Cause that point got
• 1:06:35
  brought up and you know, we were kind of told,
• 1:06:37
  well, you shouldn't talk about what you make
• 1:06:38
  in your day job. Cause then people might not
• 1:06:39
  want to donate. And I was thinking, well, Okay,
• 1:06:42
  that's kind of fair. But at the same time, I
• 1:06:44
  mean, we all, you know, when you buy a pair of
• 1:06:46
  Air Jordans, are you thinking like, Oh, I'm not
• 1:06:49
  going to buy this pair of Jordans because the
• 1:06:51
  guy who owns the brand is already a billionaire.
• 1:06:53
  Or when you listen to other podcasts that have
• 1:06:56
  famous and wealthy people running the podcast,
• 1:06:59
  and that's, you know, and people pay them money
• 1:07:01
  advertisers and donate donations and contributors.
• 1:07:05
  I mean, nobody's nobody's shitting on them for
• 1:07:07
  making good money. So I don't think our people
• 1:07:10
  are going to do the same. At least I hope not.
• 1:07:12
  Yeah, I hope not, too. I mean, yeah, that's all
• 1:07:14
  very well stated and just to round it out before
• 1:07:17
  we head into second half of show here, you know,
• 1:07:19
  just to use the the mothership, no agenda and
• 1:07:21
  the pioneers of this model as the direct corollary
• 1:07:24
  to what we're talking about here and to what
• 1:07:26
  to the point you just made. you know, both both
• 1:07:29
  John and Adam were mainstream media figures who
• 1:07:33
  had, you know, large paydays over extended periods
• 1:07:36
  of time from the publications where they work
• 1:07:38
  for an MTV and PC magazine and and venture, you
• 1:07:42
  know, and businesses started and sold and the
• 1:07:45
  Adam even took a business public and, you know,
• 1:07:48
  John wrote 18 ,000 books. I mean, you know, it's
• 1:07:52
  not as if I mean, what does what does quote needed
• 1:07:54
  the money even mean? you know, it really just
• 1:07:57
  became its own thing where regardless of their
• 1:08:00
  personal financial positions, what you would
• 1:08:02
  you think you know about them or whatever, it
• 1:08:04
  was an ongoing source that that's what they they
• 1:08:07
  made their living, or they made their income
• 1:08:09
  on the show that no agenda was their full time
• 1:08:12
  job, as they continue to point out. So what what
• 1:08:15
  they did or didn't have in the bank or their
• 1:08:17
  net worth, that that's sort of like not the point.
• 1:08:19
  And the producers, many of whom here here this
• 1:08:23
  program, too, and we appreciate all of you just
• 1:08:24
  like they appreciate you. It's like immaterial.
• 1:08:29
  If you find the program valuable, then please
• 1:08:31
  contribute that value to the program, whatever
• 1:08:33
  the value means to you. It's as simple as that.
• 1:08:37
  And of course we want this to become an ongoing
• 1:08:39
  source of revenue like Paul mentioned. That this
• 1:08:41
  could be our full -time job, man, that's a dream,
• 1:08:44
  or at least something that continues to be worthwhile
• 1:08:46
  for everybody involved. you hearing it and us
• 1:08:49
  doing it. This is the sort of project that has
• 1:08:52
  it has growth potential and basically the more
• 1:08:54
  the more value that people derive from us hopefully
• 1:08:57
  the more they contribute back or the more contributors
• 1:08:59
  we get or executive producers we get and you
• 1:09:01
  know it'll be a self -fulfilling prophecy basically
• 1:09:04
  the more we get put back in the more we will
• 1:09:08
  put back out and yeah this could this becomes
• 1:09:10
  a thing that is maybe I was going to say a full
• 1:09:13
  part time job, but like, you know, something
• 1:09:16
  that is more than what it is right now. It's
• 1:09:19
  absolutely something we're willing to do. It
• 1:09:21
  all just depends on how things go. Exactly. So
• 1:09:24
  with all that being said, we will never beg and
• 1:09:27
  we will always be grateful. Yeah, well, I can
• 1:09:30
  just hear John Dvorak being like, well, you guys,
• 1:09:32
  you better get used to begging because that's
• 1:09:33
  the value for value model. And I do have, by
• 1:09:35
  the way, I put together it's not my style. I
• 1:09:38
  put it. Yeah, nor mine. And I put together a
• 1:09:41
  A Dvorak soundboard, which I've been reluctant
• 1:09:43
  to use because I don't know if it's like disrespectful
• 1:09:47
  or an homage. I think of it like an homage and
• 1:09:49
  I have a lot of good stuff, but I haven't been
• 1:09:51
  using it. And so, but just so you guys, it's,
• 1:09:55
  it's there and all those things that Paul said.
• 1:09:58
  That's a good point. I'll, I'll maybe I'll start
• 1:10:01
  working a minute. You guys got to tell me though,
• 1:10:03
  if it's disrespectful. Well, that'll be up to
• 1:10:05
  the executive producers to give you feedback
• 1:10:07
  on that. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's
• 1:10:09
  cool. You're paying homage. Yeah. No issues here.
• 1:10:14
  With all that being said, to become an executive
• 1:10:17
  producer of this program, contributing value
• 1:10:20
  back in the treasure category, please go to KnowIDShow
• 1:10:23
  .com where there are many different methods to
• 1:10:25
  do that. PayPal, Venmo, and Patreon. And I think
• 1:10:31
  YouTube is, I'm not sure if we're eligible on
• 1:10:33
  YouTube yet, but there's lots of different ways
• 1:10:34
  that you can kick back value. And that could
• 1:10:36
  mean anything. That could mean a dollar, it can
• 1:10:39
  mean $10, it can mean $1 ,000. Value means many
• 1:10:42
  different things to many different people. So
• 1:10:44
  if you've gotten value out of this show, Please
• 1:10:47
  consider what that means and kick some value
• 1:10:49
  back to us. It goes a long, long way, and we
• 1:10:52
  appreciate it. All right, NoIDShow .com. DJ Paul,
• 1:10:55
  you got a song while we take a pee break before
• 1:10:57
  we head into second half. Yeah, I got a good
• 1:11:00
  one that I pulled up while we were talking about
• 1:11:03
  the education system and needing more money and
• 1:11:06
  retarded kids. That's not a great question! not
• 1:15:07
  deserve government funding. Nobody does. Oh,
• 1:15:14
  really? You're being mean. Oh, really? Yeah.
• 1:15:22
  Second half of show, which, of course, Dvorak
• 1:15:25
  loved. It's a little different on this program,
• 1:15:28
  though. I don't have any UFO clips, but I do
• 1:15:31
  have I'd like to get to that boots on the ground
• 1:15:33
  report I reference. So let's start with what
• 1:15:36
  the message pertains to, which is... it will
• 1:16:00
  take even more time before any of the federal
• 1:16:03
  funding gets distributed to them. Derek Strom
• 1:16:05
  asked county leaders leaders leaders why this
• 1:16:08
  process is taking so long. Just over three years
• 1:16:11
  after hundreds of people lost their homes in
• 1:16:14
  the gray and Oregon Road fires, many still need
• 1:16:17
  help. It was announced 20 months ago that Spokane
• 1:16:20
  County would receive 44 million in federal disaster
• 1:16:23
  funding to help. The county actually received
• 1:16:26
  that money at the beginning of this year, but
• 1:16:28
  fire victims haven't seen any of it at work yet.
• 1:16:31
  So far, the only money the county has spent from
• 1:16:34
  that grant is for a contract with the Spokane
• 1:16:36
  Region Long -Term Recovery Group to coordinate
• 1:16:39
  which victims still need help. We'll provide
• 1:16:42
  the data back of what the need is out there.
• 1:16:44
  We don't get involved with how they're gonna...
• 1:16:49
  you know, how much is towards rebuilding? How
• 1:16:52
  much is towards repair? How much is towards a
• 1:16:55
  new construction that even though the Spokane
• 1:16:56
  region long term recovery group has a contract
• 1:16:59
  in place with the county to navigate fire victims
• 1:17:02
  to some of these new resources that the county
• 1:17:04
  will be funding doesn't know when this federal
• 1:17:07
  money will actually start being distributed to
• 1:17:09
  fire victims. George Dahl is the county's administrator
• 1:17:12
  for housing and community development. He says
• 1:17:15
  the funding will start going out to organizations
• 1:17:17
  that help victims with housing projects in the
• 1:17:20
  next two months, but it could take longer for
• 1:17:22
  the work to actually begin. We're hearing a lot
• 1:17:25
  about trees and folks wanting trees removed.
• 1:17:28
  We've got a lot of debris that still remains
• 1:17:31
  on personal property. There's also other damages
• 1:17:34
  that have occurred when you think about the fire
• 1:17:37
  response. The county has decided to divide that
• 1:17:41
  44 million into several categories with half
• 1:17:43
  of the funding going towards housing. Some of
• 1:17:46
  that will include building new homes and will
• 1:17:48
  be spent first. Other areas include infrastructure
• 1:17:51
  and economic revitalization. Long term recovery
• 1:17:54
  group says it already has identified 85 people
• 1:17:57
  that are in need of this funding. It encourages
• 1:17:59
  anyone who still needs help to contact them.
• 1:18:03
  There's a couple different points on this clip
• 1:18:05
  for one I just want to reiterate these were the
• 1:18:06
  fires from 2023 not the reason once this is over
• 1:18:10
  three years ago for two that 44 million dollars
• 1:18:13
  it doesn't appear to be like cash that was distributed
• 1:18:16
  that's Collecting interest for the city of Spokane
• 1:18:19
  or Spokane County or anything like that It appears
• 1:18:21
  to be like a credit line that has yet to be drawn
• 1:18:24
  down upon And so here this was and the other
• 1:18:29
  thing is that this was sent in this clip was
• 1:18:31
  sent in by Forgive me, because it's been a couple
• 1:18:35
  of weeks, but this was contributed by a producer,
• 1:18:38
  not the same producer that gave me the boots
• 1:18:40
  on the ground report about it. So I'd like to
• 1:18:43
  read his message now. This is good click bait,
• 1:18:49
  he says, but it is truly a speed of government
• 1:18:52
  story. Thema required a super robust public participation
• 1:18:56
  process and report of how the funds would be
• 1:18:59
  used for public benefit. Lots of meetings and
• 1:19:01
  then a Fed review and approval. We've hired a
• 1:19:04
  couple legit disaster reconstruction firms from
• 1:19:07
  the southeast that typically do hurricanes but
• 1:19:10
  are prepared to move fast unlike the recovery
• 1:19:13
  group that was stood up right away and hasn't
• 1:19:14
  done much. Since a lot of homes are already rebuilt,
• 1:19:18
  I'm hoping a portion will go to quote maraudes.
• 1:19:21
  That's for you Paul as both fire areas could
• 1:19:25
  use some improved evacuation routes So it looks
• 1:19:29
  like this. Oh and his you know, I said a good
• 1:19:31
  info Thank you. And he said that this is a little
• 1:19:33
  different because the dollars go through HUD
• 1:19:35
  Which is actually better than FEMA He says I
• 1:19:39
  personally still haven't been reimbursed for
• 1:19:41
  work that I did post -fire and FEMA usually takes
• 1:19:44
  about four years And so that's the part that's
• 1:19:48
  amazing is that a lot of these houses have just
• 1:19:50
  already been rebuilt, I guess out of people's
• 1:19:52
  insurance claims or their own pockets or comp.
• 1:19:56
  That's even more interesting. That's the Department
• 1:19:58
  of Housing and Urban Development. Yeah. So the
• 1:20:01
  thing that stood out to me immediately was the
• 1:20:06
  fires were three years ago. And about three years
• 1:20:09
  ago, 44 million was basically committed or appropriated
• 1:20:14
  to to relief. The funds didn't show up to the
• 1:20:18
  county until the beginning of this year. So it
• 1:20:23
  took them two, two and a half years to move the
• 1:20:30
  money, not even money, but the line of credit.
• 1:20:33
  Make the line of credit available. Yeah, it took
• 1:20:36
  over two and a half years for the feds just to
• 1:20:39
  complete that step. And then the county, Spokane
• 1:20:42
  County, engaged the services of a third party,
• 1:20:45
  an NGO, I'm going to guess, that specializes
• 1:20:49
  in this sort of thing, but of course takes its
• 1:20:51
  sweet time. And this NGO has taken anywhere from
• 1:20:54
  six to eight months to data collect, I guess,
• 1:20:59
  to see who's going to get what. But I mean, if
• 1:21:03
  this is what you do as an organization and it's
• 1:21:07
  taking you this long, I wonder how much that
• 1:21:10
  contract is worth too. It's probably a pretty
• 1:21:14
  penny. So yeah, the things I immediately keyed
• 1:21:17
  in on were, wow, two and a half years for the
• 1:21:19
  feds to move the money or the line of credit
• 1:21:21
  over to the county of Spokane. And then anywhere
• 1:21:24
  from six to eight months for the NGO that they've
• 1:21:27
  hired to do their work to figure out how to distribute
• 1:21:31
  funds and they're not even done and nobody's
• 1:21:33
  been paid. Right, I don't think this should be
• 1:21:36
  a thing to begin with because again, that's that's
• 1:21:39
  literal Federal Reserve printer money that is
• 1:21:42
  the printer goes brr money the 44 million just
• 1:21:45
  brr printed out of thin air Like well, it's yeah.
• 1:21:49
  I mean as we all know it's all printed out of
• 1:21:51
  thin air But when I say printed out of thin air,
• 1:21:54
  I mean, it's not backed by any revenue source
• 1:21:57
  to incoming and so basically I think we've talked
• 1:22:01
  about this last go -around or maybe two two episodes
• 1:22:04
  ago. But the stats on it are basically 30 to
• 1:22:08
  40 % of every federal dollar that is spent has
• 1:22:11
  no revenue or income behind it. So that means
• 1:22:13
  for every hundred dollars that the federal government
• 1:22:17
  spends anywhere from 60 to 70 of those dollars
• 1:22:21
  are backed by some form of revenue, whether that's
• 1:22:24
  income. 30 to $40 of every hundred dollars is
• 1:22:30
  straight up just burr printed. and just injected
• 1:22:34
  into the quote unquote economy. That is definitely
• 1:22:38
  this money, this quote unquote line of credit.
• 1:22:42
  So these same people then turn around later and
• 1:22:46
  go, well, we need a bigger budget because of
• 1:22:48
  inflation. And then everybody goes, well, how
• 1:22:50
  did inflation happen? And it's like, well, because
• 1:22:52
  of all of this, 44 million here, 444 million
• 1:22:56
  over there, and most of it's. Yes. And if you
• 1:23:00
  object to that, then you don't want Spokane residents
• 1:23:05
  who lost their houses and fires to be able to
• 1:23:07
  rebuild. Correct. Although I thought that's what
• 1:23:11
  private insurance was for. That's why they force
• 1:23:13
  us to buy it, right? That's the whole scam and
• 1:23:15
  scheme on that thing is you have to have it.
• 1:23:18
  If you have a mortgage, you have to have it because
• 1:23:20
  the bank demands it. And fire is one of the few
• 1:23:23
  things that is straight up like actually covered.
• 1:23:25
  You know, they have a million in one waste and
• 1:23:27
  never pay out on your policy. But fire is almost
• 1:23:30
  always one of the things where there's just like
• 1:23:32
  it's covered. You got to pay. Yeah, which is
• 1:23:36
  why when when committing insurance fraud, fire
• 1:23:39
  is the chosen way every time nobody commits insurance
• 1:23:42
  fraud by leaky pipes. They never pay for water
• 1:23:46
  damage, but they'll pay for a burnt building.
• 1:23:49
  Now, and that's, you know, that's an aside. That's
• 1:23:52
  neither here nor there. The main point to this
• 1:23:55
  is, yeah, two and a half years to move the line
• 1:23:58
  of credit into position. Another almost full
• 1:24:01
  year to not even yet distribute it, to tally
• 1:24:04
  up how they're going to distribute it. And they're
• 1:24:06
  still not done. Give me a break. This is government
• 1:24:09
  inaction. And yeah, so the executive producer
• 1:24:11
  who sent it to us, well done. And thank you because
• 1:24:13
  congratulations, everybody who goes, but without
• 1:24:16
  my government, how would we do disaster relief?
• 1:24:19
  Well, the private sector that had all of its
• 1:24:22
  money still in its pockets would have taken care
• 1:24:24
  of this three years ago. That's another great
• 1:24:28
  point that is so hard to measure. What financial
• 1:24:34
  position the average homeowner or somebody who
• 1:24:37
  loses their house in a fire like this would be
• 1:24:41
  in if not for the confiscatory environment that
• 1:24:44
  we all find ourselves in? What if they'd been
• 1:24:46
  keeping half of their income that gets taken
• 1:24:48
  away year after year after decade after decade?
• 1:24:51
  What financial position would they be in? What
• 1:24:52
  would their insurance policies actually look
• 1:24:55
  like if they were real market based policies,
• 1:24:58
  et cetera, et cetera? And the community itself.
• 1:25:01
  So and to extrapolate on that, not just the individuals
• 1:25:03
  who are affected, but the community that was
• 1:25:05
  affected and the neighbors. Helping neighbors
• 1:25:08
  effective that the church around the corner Who
• 1:25:10
  has a bigger budget because people have more
• 1:25:12
  money in their pockets and therefore they feel
• 1:25:14
  more willing to tithe People and that there are
• 1:25:17
  gobs and gobs of studies on this the freer the
• 1:25:20
  more homogenous and more economically freer society
• 1:25:22
  is The more they give to charity both in time
• 1:25:25
  resources and currency When you are when you
• 1:25:29
  do well economically and you are free to choose
• 1:25:31
  it charity increases. That's why America, even
• 1:25:35
  now, America is still the most charitable country
• 1:25:38
  on an individual level, the most charitable country
• 1:25:40
  on earth and always has been since the beginning,
• 1:25:43
  because it's the most economically free, it's
• 1:25:45
  the most voluntarily based, and it's also our
• 1:25:49
  culture and our morals and ethics and value system.
• 1:25:52
  But the more that the government becomes God,
• 1:25:56
  and fills the role that communities, neighbors,
• 1:25:59
  churches and private organizations and charities
• 1:26:01
  used to do and did much better, by the way, the
• 1:26:05
  more government fills that role and sweeps them
• 1:26:07
  aside, the less people are inclined to do it
• 1:26:10
  on their own because it's like, well, I only,
• 1:26:12
  you know, I keep 50 % when it's all said and
• 1:26:14
  done. 50 % is mine to keep. Government already
• 1:26:17
  got everything else. I got nothing else to spare.
• 1:26:20
  I'm not interested. Go away. I gave it the office
• 1:26:22
  and the office was the office of the IRS. Go
• 1:26:24
  away. Well here people have more money in their
• 1:26:29
  pockets to help and they have more willingness
• 1:26:31
  to do it when they haven't already been Sheared
• 1:26:34
  three times sideways by their government like
• 1:26:37
  a sheep Have we all just pay our fair share,
• 1:26:40
  right? Switching now to an actual private sector
• 1:26:45
  I guess transaction it hasn't happened yet, but
• 1:26:48
  the possibility of that transaction is being
• 1:26:51
  reported on by the mainstream. This is from KTVB
• 1:26:55
  Well, you've probably seen this one making the
• 1:26:57
  rounds online. The old state saloon in downtown
• 1:26:59
  Eagle is up for sale. And if you followed the
• 1:27:02
  saloon over the last few years, you know it's
• 1:27:04
  a place that's never exactly been short on attention.
• 1:27:09
  Now the question getting people talking, is it
• 1:27:11
  just why it's for sale? It's who buys it? What
• 1:27:15
  this place becomes next? So first, what? Exactly
• 1:27:19
  is for sale. Well, think of this more or less,
• 1:27:22
  I should say, like buying a bar and more like
• 1:27:25
  booking a flight on a budget airline. Just quickly
• 1:27:27
  for context in case you are not aware. Yeah,
• 1:27:30
  well, I guess she'll explain her statement in
• 1:27:32
  a minute, but I just want to. Provide context
• 1:27:35
  that the old state saloon is mark Fitzpatrick's
• 1:27:38
  business mark Fitzpachter just ran in the primary
• 1:27:41
  against governor pervert and pervert took it
• 1:27:44
  of course, so he's and he's been very much in
• 1:27:46
  the public eye, you know doing stuff like Oh
• 1:27:49
  a heterosexual awesome this month or you know
• 1:27:51
  free beer if you report illegals to ice, you
• 1:27:54
  know stuff like that He's a he's always in the
• 1:27:56
  national crosshairs because he's using his business
• 1:27:59
  and as a political platform The building is included
• 1:28:03
  in the - As two guys who have worked in hospitality
• 1:28:06
  and retail for the last decade and a half. The
• 1:28:11
  balls on that guy, I respect it. I mean, I did
• 1:28:13
  a similar thing. I was in a position and I did
• 1:28:15
  not to the level that Mark Fitzpatrick has done,
• 1:28:19
  but I was pretty close to that level. And you
• 1:28:22
  find out real quick that the moment you ruffle
• 1:28:24
  the establishment feathers, boy howdy, there's
• 1:28:26
  a target on your back and it never goes away.
• 1:28:29
  The customers you retain, are loyal for life
• 1:28:32
  and you better know how to just run a business
• 1:28:36
  well because there's backlash you suffer financially
• 1:28:39
  also. So I give a lot of credit to Mark. It's
• 1:28:43
  not business savvy at all to do what he and I
• 1:28:47
  did but sometimes principles are more important
• 1:28:52
  and if you're business savvy enough you can still
• 1:28:54
  take what you have left as far as your business
• 1:28:56
  and your customers go and you can still make
• 1:28:58
  a thriving good business out of it. I think Mark
• 1:29:00
  though I think he got, like I did, got pretty
• 1:29:03
  beat up and pretty worn down at a certain point
• 1:29:05
  and just kind of went, yeah, all right, it's
• 1:29:07
  time. Time for a different phase of life. The
• 1:29:10
  building is included in the initial price, but
• 1:29:12
  everything else, well, it's going to cost you.
• 1:29:15
  The building at 50 East State Street is listed
• 1:29:17
  for $2 .4 million. The liquor license is being
• 1:29:22
  offered separately for $500 ,000. Oh, and then
• 1:29:27
  there's the name. The Old State Saloon brand
• 1:29:29
  is not automatically included. The listing says
• 1:29:32
  it could be purchased or licensed separately
• 1:29:34
  by the right buyer. Owner Mark Fitzpatrick says
• 1:29:39
  on his listing that he is not selling because
• 1:29:43
  the business failed or because he decided to
• 1:29:46
  shut up, but because he's quote made the decision.
• 1:29:50
  to put old state saloon on the market rather
• 1:29:53
  than allow those people or this business to be
• 1:29:57
  used as leverage against me. A full explanation
• 1:30:00
  will come later. And when it does, it will make
• 1:30:03
  sense to any American who still believes the
• 1:30:05
  system is supposed to protect free speech and
• 1:30:08
  private enterprise rather than punish people
• 1:30:11
  for exercising them. The saloon has built its
• 1:30:13
  brand around Fitzpatrick's Christian. You can
• 1:30:16
  just hear the derision and the contempt from
• 1:30:18
  this lady. I mean, like I've I don't think I've
• 1:30:21
  ever heard this kind of contempt during a report
• 1:30:24
  about somebody selling their business and like
• 1:30:27
  for two point four million dollars. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:30:31
  the nerve. Oh, and the liquor license is separate.
• 1:30:34
  It's like, yeah, bitch, that happens all the
• 1:30:36
  time. It happens right there all the time. Like
• 1:30:38
  I didn't hear anybody acting this way in Coeur
• 1:30:41
  d 'Alene when, you know, Hagadon buys everything
• 1:30:43
  up like anytime it's a mainstream player. like
• 1:30:49
  Hagadon or the movers and shakers down in Boise,
• 1:30:51
  you never get a breathless, a breathlessly contemptible
• 1:30:54
  report like this. Instead, it's like, oh, and
• 1:30:58
  Hagadon, who has been the cornerstone of the
• 1:31:01
  economic increases and economic activity of Coeur
• 1:31:04
  d 'Alene. who owns everything down there. They're
• 1:31:08
  buying up another thing. And isn't that just
• 1:31:10
  great? Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, and by the way, the
• 1:31:12
  newspaper is also owned by Hagedon. So pay no
• 1:31:14
  attention to the fact that all of the articles
• 1:31:17
  are independent journalists. Yeah. Oh yeah. Super
• 1:31:21
  independent. Yeah. The saloon has built its brand
• 1:31:25
  around Fitzpatrick's Christian and conservative
• 1:31:28
  views and describes his customers and business
• 1:31:30
  partners as like -minded people. So naturally,
• 1:31:33
  when a place known for taking a stance goes up
• 1:31:35
  for sale, people start taking stances on who
• 1:31:38
  should buy it and what should happen next. And
• 1:31:42
  one of those ideas has gone beyond the comment
• 1:31:43
  section. An online fundraiser started Friday
• 1:31:46
  trying to raise three million dollars to buy
• 1:31:50
  old state saloon and turn it into a gay bar and
• 1:31:53
  lgbtq plus community space But don't get it twisted.
• 1:31:56
  This would not be a co -op situation where everyone
• 1:32:00
  owns it the organizers say Donate donations are
• 1:32:03
  not investments meaning donors would not receive
• 1:32:06
  ownership Pause it I do love this. So it turns
• 1:32:13
  out that the communists don't actually want to
• 1:32:16
  do communism once they have the money. Yes. We're
• 1:32:20
  going to raise money to buy old state salute
• 1:32:23
  for the people. It's going to be an LGBTQ up,
• 1:32:28
  down, left, right, start, select community space.
• 1:32:32
  We're going to gather together as one people's
• 1:32:36
  comrades. And when we're done for whatever we
• 1:32:39
  do behind For the people owned by the people
• 1:32:44
  and penetrating the people But just so you guys
• 1:32:47
  know We totally buy the business. These are just
• 1:32:51
  donations. We're gonna take all the money and
• 1:32:52
  we're gonna go full Capitalist on this business
• 1:32:56
  and we're gonna have revenue and pocket it all
• 1:32:58
  bitches We're gonna make so much money from those
• 1:33:02
  fags We have our end of show ISO right there
• 1:33:08
  I've got I've got a meme that I got to share
• 1:33:13
  with you at some point is dude It's like from
• 1:33:15
  the they live I think movie where you wear the
• 1:33:18
  special glasses and you can tell they're aliens
• 1:33:19
  you take the glasses off and You know, they look
• 1:33:22
  like normal human beings. Yeah, and it's this
• 1:33:24
  dude looking at a pride parade and on the banner,
• 1:33:28
  the banners of the pride parade, there's like
• 1:33:29
  sponsored by Visa, it's sponsored, you know,
• 1:33:31
  brought to you by Pfizer and all these corporate
• 1:33:34
  sponsors of the pride parade on the banners.
• 1:33:36
  And then the next one is he puts the shades back
• 1:33:40
  on and it basically says, give us your money
• 1:33:42
  homos. And if the group doesn't ultimately buy
• 1:33:47
  the property, it says remaining money. after
• 1:33:50
  documented costs related to the attempt, would
• 1:33:53
  be donated to organizations working on LGBTQ
• 1:33:56
  civil and human rights in Idaho. So far, they
• 1:33:59
  have raised $5 ,700. Very, very, very impressive.
• 1:34:12
  It turns out under communists don't want to put
• 1:34:16
  their own money where their mouths are. They
• 1:34:18
  want to put your money where their mouths are
• 1:34:20
  and other things where their mouths are, too.
• 1:34:25
  What a bunch of freaks. This part of the group
• 1:34:28
  doesn't ultimately buy the property. It says
• 1:34:30
  remaining money. after documented costs related
• 1:34:33
  to the attempt. We still keep your money. After
• 1:34:35
  documented costs related to the attempt. So I
• 1:34:37
  hate to break the news to you guys, but we needed
• 1:34:39
  to pocket it all. We needed to pay ourselves.
• 1:34:43
  I also would like to point out. We couldn't write
• 1:34:45
  this, we couldn't write this. I know, it's too
• 1:34:47
  good, right? And I gotta point out, what is it?
• 1:34:50
  So far, they have raised about LGBTQ civil and
• 1:34:53
  human rights in Idaho. And then the LGBT plus
• 1:34:57
  community, there is no, this is your biannual
• 1:35:01
  no ID reminder, there is no LGBT plus community,
• 1:35:05
  it's baloney, the mainstream presents this to
• 1:35:07
  you as if it is about gays, it has nothing to
• 1:35:11
  do with gays. black and queer individual the
• 1:35:14
  LGBTQ community does not speak on my behalf or
• 1:35:17
  yours i don't want to be in that crowd i don't
• 1:35:20
  want to you know what it is about you know what
• 1:35:21
  it is about scott money uh -huh they're basically
• 1:35:26
  they may not be a community where one can speak
• 1:35:29
  for all but they're definitely a political action
• 1:35:31
  committee always good for raising money Always
• 1:35:35
  good for raising money. That's how I, you know,
• 1:35:37
  the fight will never ever end. They'll just keep
• 1:35:39
  adding alphabet letters to this, to this line
• 1:35:41
  of things because it can never end because the
• 1:35:43
  moment it ends, the money train ends. If you
• 1:35:45
  don't have any more things to, it's like when
• 1:35:47
  we gave him gay marriage. And a lot of us said,
• 1:35:50
  yeah, it's not gonna stop a gay marriage. You
• 1:35:52
  know, I'm a libertarian, so my whole spiel is
• 1:35:54
  just get the state out of marriage to begin with.
• 1:35:56
  You shouldn't need a state certificate to be
• 1:35:58
  married and all of that stuff, and that's a whole
• 1:36:00
  nother aside. So fuck the state, they shouldn't
• 1:36:02
  belong in marriage at all. They don't give permission.
• 1:36:06
  God, that's between us and God. God gives permission.
• 1:36:08
  Of course, I don't think he's pro -gay marriage
• 1:36:10
  either, but whatever, what you do, you do you,
• 1:36:12
  boo. You do you. But we did when that when that
• 1:36:16
  issue was, you know, we're talking the early
• 1:36:18
  2000s, you'll remember Scott, but all of a sudden,
• 1:36:20
  yeah, it's not going to end there. Once they
• 1:36:22
  get gay marriage, the next thing will be, you
• 1:36:24
  know, bestiality or pedophilia. Or there's no
• 1:36:28
  such thing as gender. You're blurring that you're
• 1:36:30
  saying you're basically saying that gender doesn't
• 1:36:32
  matter. And everyone, of course, just called
• 1:36:34
  the people that said that. names like, you know,
• 1:36:36
  you just hate gays. But of course, now here we
• 1:36:38
  are where they're claiming it's actually even
• 1:36:40
  a step further. There is no such thing as gender.
• 1:36:44
  Yeah, it's a social construct, don't you know?
• 1:36:45
  But of course, it's a social construct that our
• 1:36:47
  entire political action committee movement is
• 1:36:50
  based around. And somehow you can be a fourth
• 1:36:53
  wave feminism feminist while also being for trans
• 1:36:59
  stuff. And gender is made up. but women are better
• 1:37:03
  than men at everything but my pay gap yeah it
• 1:37:09
  makes sense if you don't think about it jinks
• 1:37:12
  which man i'll tell you what the gender pay gap
• 1:37:14
  if that was real no man would ever get hired
• 1:37:16
  again yeah why would you hire a man i wouldn't
• 1:37:20
  if i could pay a woman 70 cents on the dollar
• 1:37:22
  i'd never hire a man again Yeah, what about that
• 1:37:24
  beautiful bartender at the at the racketeer for
• 1:37:27
  those couple of years? Like you paid her 70 cents
• 1:37:29
  on the dollar rate or probably 75 cents. I mean,
• 1:37:31
  she was she was really. Oh, yeah. Rachel. Yeah,
• 1:37:33
  Rachel. She was a sweetheart. And she was she
• 1:37:35
  was also super intelligent, too. She was she
• 1:37:38
  was one of my favorites. Rachel was cool. She
• 1:37:40
  was super cool. All class, baby. And yeah, no,
• 1:37:43
  I definitely I definitely did not pay her 70
• 1:37:46
  cents on the dollar. Sixty. 50. I'm hard to negotiate.
• 1:37:52
  She's Ukrainian. I basically said 50 cents on
• 1:37:54
  the dollar plus a potato every day. The Ukrainians
• 1:37:59
  are really into potatoes. And she fell to her
• 1:38:02
  knees and said, oh, thank you. She's like, oh,
• 1:38:05
  comrade, thank you. They hate the Russians, but
• 1:38:08
  they're still communist adjacent at times. Not
• 1:38:12
  Rachel though. Rachel and her family, they hate
• 1:38:15
  the Russians and they hate communism. They're
• 1:38:17
  stone cold capitalists. Of course they are. She's
• 1:38:19
  working at the racketeer. It's a prerequisite.
• 1:38:21
  Yeah. Well, yeah, it's like, like I'm going to
• 1:38:22
  hire, it's the best of my abilities. Obviously
• 1:38:25
  we try to hire people who share our values. Cause
• 1:38:27
  the last thing I want to do is explain to my
• 1:38:29
  employees, basic economics. Like why don't, why
• 1:38:33
  don't I make your wage, Paul? It's like actually
• 1:38:36
  Get over here and I'll show you. You don't want
• 1:38:38
  to make my wage you retard. Just go back to work.
• 1:38:43
  I work 80 hours a week and it averages to $4
• 1:38:46
  an hour. I'm in hospitality and retail, you moron.
• 1:38:49
  You average $25 an hour with tips. Do you want
• 1:38:52
  to trade? Oh, here's some paperwork for you too.
• 1:38:55
  Yeah. All right. A couple more for this week.
• 1:38:58
  We were on the private sector there briefly.
• 1:39:01
  Let's go back to the public stuff and I guess
• 1:39:03
  it's all money this week. with the rural health
• 1:39:06
  care system. Real quick, I will finish up on
• 1:39:09
  the Mark Fitzpatrick thing. I feel for the guy
• 1:39:12
  and I totally understand where he's coming from.
• 1:39:14
  It's one of those where I know exactly where
• 1:39:15
  he's coming from because when I exited my business,
• 1:39:18
  there was absolutely an element of that involved
• 1:39:20
  too. It was mainly to protect my health because
• 1:39:21
  of other things that were going on. But I'll
• 1:39:24
  tell you what, it is a real relief. It is a huge
• 1:39:27
  relief to not have a business like that that
• 1:39:31
  people can punish you through. I experienced
• 1:39:35
  that for 12 years and there were times that even
• 1:39:38
  even me I still felt muzzled because I just knew
• 1:39:41
  there were certain things and I said almost everything
• 1:39:43
  you couldn't say but there were still certain
• 1:39:45
  things was like if I lose if I say this then
• 1:39:47
  I'll lose even some of the guys I have who are
• 1:39:50
  still my loyal clients you know so it just it
• 1:39:52
  sucked that aspect of it sucked not the whole
• 1:39:54
  experience I loved what I did for a living but
• 1:39:56
  I'll tell you what Scott it is a relief to not
• 1:39:59
  have to have that hanging over my head now. I'm
• 1:40:01
  a private citizen. I do what I want. I say what
• 1:40:03
  I want. I go where I want. And get fucked if
• 1:40:08
  you don't like it. What are you going to do?
• 1:40:11
  Not buy cigars from me? Well, that does strike
• 1:40:14
  me as an option. Yeah. It totally is an option
• 1:40:18
  now. So this and I had a I did not have a similar
• 1:40:23
  experience with my retail hospitality establishment
• 1:40:26
  because I, unlike Paul, was not the sole decision
• 1:40:30
  maker. There were partners. And so we decided
• 1:40:33
  early on in the beginning that there would be
• 1:40:36
  no political stances taken whatsoever in the
• 1:40:39
  business's name. It would just be completely
• 1:40:41
  washed of all that stuff, which it's actually,
• 1:40:43
  it's not terribly difficult to do that. You just
• 1:40:46
  don't. You just stick with what you do. You know,
• 1:40:49
  we're a craft beer bar and come in for a premium
• 1:40:50
  craft beer experience. There's no, you don't
• 1:40:53
  need to make posts on social media. You don't
• 1:40:55
  need to post signs in your door with the trans
• 1:40:57
  Maoist flag, with the sticker. You don't need
• 1:41:00
  to do anything. Of course, many people choose
• 1:41:01
  to and when it's your business alone, like it
• 1:41:04
  was Paul's, then you know, more power to you.
• 1:41:06
  And I can hear the reaction of all the LGBTQ
• 1:41:10
  plus crowd that doesn't actually exist. We're
• 1:41:12
  like, yeah, sure, man. You're free to take whatever
• 1:41:15
  chance you want. But that doesn't mean that you
• 1:41:17
  get freedom from consequences. And we just never
• 1:41:20
  wanted to deal with any of that in any direction.
• 1:41:23
  Even if you don't do that, though, there still
• 1:41:26
  is plenty of ways that you are vulnerable when
• 1:41:31
  you have a business like that. Like you said,
• 1:41:32
  people can use it as a vehicle by which to attack
• 1:41:35
  you. And I'll give you like just a quick example
• 1:41:37
  that has nothing to do. I mean, it is political,
• 1:41:39
  but it's not overt like this in nature. I know
• 1:41:42
  someone who's a proprietor who just got finished
• 1:41:45
  settling a lawsuit with one of those professional
• 1:41:49
  sue you over ADA people. where they go and they
• 1:41:52
  don't they just like, oh, you have your step
• 1:41:54
  is one inch too high. So they're going to file
• 1:41:56
  a suit to the you can just settle with them.
• 1:41:57
  So they're just they're just making cash grabs.
• 1:41:59
  That's just another way you can get your financially
• 1:42:02
  attacked because you're you're daring to operate
• 1:42:04
  your own establishment. People like that deserve
• 1:42:07
  a special level of hell. Like in Dante's Inferno
• 1:42:10
  or something a special level of hell where when
• 1:42:12
  they die, they actually do like they are crippled
• 1:42:15
  for all eternity. Yeah, just can't move. They're
• 1:42:18
  like a quadriplegic. And they're sitting in the
• 1:42:21
  lake of fire and they just don't get to move.
• 1:42:23
  Yeah, eighth circle, fourth pit. And also not
• 1:42:26
  only do you not get to move there, there should
• 1:42:28
  be some way of like, you know what, you're also
• 1:42:30
  going to have, you're going to have like a permanently
• 1:42:32
  increased heartbeat and your hair is going to
• 1:42:35
  fall out in clumps on account of all the the
• 1:42:37
  anxiety that is produced by when you you know
• 1:42:40
  that you have to read these emails and you're
• 1:42:41
  getting served and it's on your mind all the
• 1:42:43
  time and it's like ruining the rest of your of
• 1:42:46
  your waking hours because this thing is gnawing
• 1:42:48
  at you or is when to go I'll do you one better
• 1:42:50
  you just have an itch on your nose that you never
• 1:42:54
  get to scratch because you can't move your arms
• 1:42:56
  because you're a quadriplegic can't move your
• 1:42:57
  arms that's right there you go fuck you That
• 1:43:00
  does seem like an appropriate punishment. I know
• 1:43:02
  it's insane. There's a lot of examples like that
• 1:43:04
  where, you know, the just one of the myriad ways
• 1:43:07
  in which the free and free and prosperous society
• 1:43:11
  we've set up for ourselves where liberty is a
• 1:43:13
  value is set up structurally to attack the entrepreneurial
• 1:43:17
  type. Yep. So I don't blame Mark one bit if he
• 1:43:23
  can get out and get even close to asking price
• 1:43:25
  good on him. And then I suspect he I don't think
• 1:43:28
  he's going to quit being politically active.
• 1:43:30
  What it will do is it will free him up to be
• 1:43:31
  even more politically active. He'll be able to
• 1:43:33
  work, invest a bunch of it, breathe easy financially
• 1:43:36
  and then not suffer any any, quote unquote, retribution
• 1:43:40
  or punishment for doing what he's been doing.
• 1:43:42
  And that's taken a stand and being politically
• 1:43:44
  active. So I don't blame him one bit. It all
• 1:43:46
  makes sense to me. He got like 20. It was in
• 1:43:51
  between 20 and 25 percent, I think, of the vote
• 1:43:53
  when he ran for governor, which for an upstart
• 1:43:55
  like that was pretty good. And Kootenai County
• 1:43:57
  almost voted more for him than they did for Little.
• 1:44:00
  It was close. It was like fifty five, forty five
• 1:44:02
  in Kootenai County. Oh, I'm shocked. I mean,
• 1:44:06
  it is kind of shocking. OK, here is maybe we'll
• 1:44:10
  close out this week with this final one back
• 1:44:12
  to more public sector funding, but this time
• 1:44:15
  it's for all the people who live in the middle
• 1:44:17
  of nowhere. With the rural healthcare system
• 1:44:20
  on life support, Idaho is getting nearly - Oh,
• 1:44:22
  then I'm for it. It's good for me, I'm for it
• 1:44:24
  now. It's on life support on life's get it because
• 1:44:28
  this is a story about Medicaid medical stuff
• 1:44:30
  You know some on life support Idaho is getting
• 1:44:32
  nearly right billion dollars in federal funding
• 1:44:34
  to transform Rural health care delivery over
• 1:44:37
  the next five years about 186 million dollars
• 1:44:40
  per year the money comes from 50 billion dollars
• 1:44:43
  Congress set aside last year as a part of the
• 1:44:46
  one big beautiful bill act It's to revitalize
• 1:44:49
  rural health care all across the country money
• 1:44:51
  printer go burr health and welfare says this
• 1:44:53
  funding is especially important because rural
• 1:44:56
  communities face some of the most difficult health
• 1:44:58
  care situations from long, expensive travel to
• 1:45:02
  limited emergency services. We have pregnant
• 1:45:06
  moms that are having to travel hours and maybe
• 1:45:11
  risk giving birth on the road, right? And so
• 1:45:14
  I'm really hoping we can close some of those
• 1:45:18
  access gaps with these funds. And I feel very
• 1:45:22
  optimistic that we will be able to do that. The
• 1:45:24
  funding is how you can do it deregulate the entire
• 1:45:28
  industry, allow the free market to work its magic
• 1:45:30
  and then you would have health care services
• 1:45:32
  come to them. Fixed. Problem solved. No, it's
• 1:45:39
  going to take four years for us to even get the
• 1:45:43
  possibility of solving the problem in front of
• 1:45:44
  us. It's got to go through a lot of committees
• 1:45:46
  before we can start having the conversation about
• 1:45:48
  solving the problem. I do like access gaps as
• 1:45:52
  a show title. So I'm going to add that to the
• 1:45:53
  list. Access gaps is good. Well, it'll take at
• 1:45:55
  least three years just for the money or the line
• 1:45:57
  of credit to move over to the state of Idaho.
• 1:46:00
  And then another year or two for them to tabulate
• 1:46:03
  who should get the money. And by that time, a
• 1:46:05
  good portion of the rural population that needed
• 1:46:07
  the medical care is dead. Dead. Problem solved.
• 1:46:10
  Funding is open to hospitals, clinics and health
• 1:46:13
  providers. Or if a community does not have those,
• 1:46:16
  it's also available to non -traditional health
• 1:46:18
  care spaces like schools, libraries and community
• 1:46:21
  centers. OK, non -traditional health care spaces.
• 1:46:26
  Listen to that close. So we're going to funnel
• 1:46:28
  more money into these. other institutions that
• 1:46:31
  are always asking for more money. Dude, this
• 1:46:33
  is a back door. This is a back door mechanism
• 1:46:35
  is what this is. And normally I'm into that kind
• 1:46:38
  of action, but not with this. Listen one more
• 1:46:42
  time to that closing vignette of word, sality
• 1:46:45
  messaging. The funding is open to hospitals,
• 1:46:49
  clinics and health providers or. First of all,
• 1:46:52
  health providers, as in they provide you health.
• 1:46:57
  Well, what are you talking about man doctors
• 1:46:59
  and stuff do provide health? Okay, the funding
• 1:47:03
  is open to hospitals clinics and health providers
• 1:47:06
  or if a community does not have those it's also
• 1:47:09
  available to non -traditional health care spaces
• 1:47:12
  like schools libraries and community centers
• 1:47:15
  It's so they have to tie it in somehow. So they're
• 1:47:18
  like, well, you know, it can be for all these
• 1:47:19
  other things They're non -traditional health
• 1:47:22
  care spaces as in they have nothing to do with
• 1:47:26
  that But yeah, what about your local cigar lounge?
• 1:47:30
  Yeah, come on. No, it's not. It's a non -traditional
• 1:47:33
  health care space. Dude, my bartenders definitely
• 1:47:37
  double this health providers. Absolutely. I felt
• 1:47:40
  I felt better coming out of mental health, spiritual
• 1:47:43
  health, no cap. I felt better leaving the racketeer
• 1:47:48
  than I did walking in 100 % of the time. Yes,
• 1:47:52
  and I'm using the past tense I shouldn't be it's
• 1:47:55
  it holds today When I when you and I went last
• 1:47:58
  week and I walked out of there I felt back take
• 1:48:01
  a big breath in through my nose and I walked
• 1:48:03
  to my car with my chest puffed out just a little
• 1:48:05
  bit more than it was when I walked in non -traditional
• 1:48:13
  space. All right. Well, I got a couple more,
• 1:48:14
  but you know what? I think it is time for you
• 1:48:16
  to go hunt some birds. Yep. I think just, man,
• 1:48:20
  all I can think about is this money printer go
• 1:48:22
  brrrr. Every story. 50 billion dollars. You know,
• 1:48:26
  I'm sorry. Yeah, this was a little bit of a one
• 1:48:28
  dimensional show this week and it was just nothing
• 1:48:30
  but money. Well, it's not our fault that the
• 1:48:34
  state is one dimensional. So sometimes, you know,
• 1:48:37
  we need this money. One dimensional. We need
• 1:48:40
  this money. Always. It's not enough. It's not
• 1:48:43
  enough, Paul. Whatever you gave, whatever you
• 1:48:45
  gave, whatever we took, it's not enough. Yeah.
• 1:48:49
  Gave. Yeah. Nice. Nice guy. See, they're giving
• 1:48:51
  you two. Yeah, they are. I caught myself, but
• 1:48:54
  still it comes flying out of my stupid retarded
• 1:48:56
  mouth. We can't help it sometimes. The formula
• 1:49:01
  is the same. It starts like this. We have sort
• 1:49:04
  of a problem here. It ends like this. Money!
• 1:49:09
  That's the whole show. All right. That's the
• 1:49:12
  whole, yeah, if the show was the state, yes.
• 1:49:16
  That's well, and that by default, it's become
• 1:49:18
  this program, at least this episode. All right,
• 1:49:20
  we'll go we'll be more diversified next week.
• 1:49:22
  We will have some diversity. We value diversity
• 1:49:25

• 1:49:29
  community. So here I got heirloom, heirloom firearm,
• 1:49:33
  battered sheik, mammal meat, value season, full
• 1:49:37

• 1:49:46
  enough. Thank you guys for participating in our
• 1:49:50
  value for value model. That's what we run on
• 1:49:51
  on no ID. It takes work to execute this program
• 1:49:54
  that both Paul and I put in. It's our heart and
• 1:49:56
  soul. And so we ask humbly that if you actually
• 1:50:00
  not humbly, no, the opposite, it would be not
• 1:50:02
