  No ID is meant for a sane audience. No ID may
• 0:08
  contain Liberty -oriented content. PINCO discretion
• 0:12
  is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci
• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Oh, it's still smack dab
• 0:25
  in the middle of explosive diarrhea month, but
• 0:27
  nevertheless, it's no ID. North Idaho's mainstream
• 0:30
  media deconstruction. I'm Scott. Hello, Internet.
• 0:34
  I'm Paul. No EDM in my neck of the woods, thankfully.
• 0:39
  This sounds like an urban problem, Scott. Sucks
• 0:42
  to be you living in town. Urban is synonymous
• 0:45
  with blacks, according to George Carlin. Oh,
• 0:48
  I usually refer to them as basketball Americans,
• 0:50
  but that works, too. You know, I got a couple
• 0:53
  of texts this week, one of them. was excoriating
• 0:58
  me for not having seen the Emperor's New Groove.
• 1:00
  So your call was heeded by at least one person.
• 1:03
  It was like, what's wrong with you? Good job,
• 1:06
  listeners. It was with a qualifier. Let me pull
• 1:10
  up his message. It says, watch the Emperor's
• 1:14
  New Groove already. It is definitely better than
• 1:16
  whose line is it anyway. And I said, yeah, right.
• 1:20
  And then he said, no, it's surprisingly good.
• 1:22
  But he'd said it's 10 % woker than needed. last
• 1:25
  Disney before it all got so blatant. I'm surprised
• 1:28
  that Paul Banducci would endorse even 1 % wokeness.
• 1:35
  I immediately started thinking about where in
• 1:38
  the movie could I consider it woke. I'm sure
• 1:40
  there's a couple of spots, but they're pretty,
• 1:43
  they're pretty nuanced and they're well woven
• 1:46
  into the story. So it's one of those where I'm
• 1:48
  willing, I will admit I'm willing to forgive.
• 1:51
  Certain percentages of wokeness or certain acts
• 1:53
  or writings of wokeness within a story if the
• 1:56
  story is still well told and it's entertaining
• 1:58
  And it's a good story with good writing and good
• 2:01
  good character development. I will forgive it.
• 2:04
  Okay, it's no You can't win them all man. You
• 2:07
  can't win Like I'm as close to appearance as
• 2:09
  it gets in fact to to this very point my daughter
• 2:12
  much to her Disappointment yesterday asked me
• 2:15
  if I would be willing to go see the new Odyssey
• 2:18
  flick with her And as gently as I could, I said,
• 2:22
  Oh honey, fuck now. Sorry. No, I didn't say it
• 2:28
  like that. Uh, but I said, well, I every, so
• 2:31
  I haven't seen it, but everything I, everything
• 2:33
  I know about it and every, everybody who has
• 2:35
  seen it, who I trust, uh, has said exactly what
• 2:39
  you would expect. I mean, they race swapped everybody,
• 2:41
  ironically enough, while being one of the most
• 2:43
  diverse casts in a Greek epic film, maybe ever,
• 2:48
  you know, you know who they didn't cast? single
• 2:51
  one of At least leading roles a Greek There's
• 2:56
  not a single Greek lead in the Odyssey, but it's
• 2:59
  pretty but it's pretty diverse So, you know,
• 3:03
  it's the bullshit exactly what you'd expect.
• 3:04
  So I said, honey, I don't think so I'm mainly
• 3:06
  on principle I will not give my money to a film
• 3:08
  like that. But when a different film comes along,
• 3:10
  we'll have a daddy -daughter date The other message
• 3:14
  that I got and why I brought this up was with
• 3:17
  regard to EDM and it was like hey You were like,
• 3:20
  Oh, isn't EDM a, you know, a kind of, uh, like,
• 3:23
  you know, it's a kind of house music or something.
• 3:26
  EDM stands for electronic dance music, dumbass.
• 3:30
  It is, it's all electronic music. Well, that's
• 3:32
  EDMM or EDMD, electronic dance music, dumbass,
• 3:37
  EDMDA. Yeah. So, uh, that was a little stupid
• 3:41
  of me. I guess it just, yes, yes, it's a type
• 3:43
  of house music. It's all of it. It's the umbrella
• 3:46
  term. Yeah. It's when you want to drop the bass
• 3:50
  but you don't really know what's up and it covers
• 3:53
  a multitude of sins. Well, now I know. And as
• 3:58
  long as we're on stuff from last week, let's
• 4:01
  follow up on the murder down in Boise by the
• 4:06
  career criminal junkie scumbag guy who... has
• 4:10
  single -handedly, I don't know, siphoned off
• 4:13
  five million dollars of resources, you know,
• 4:17
  just with the public attempting to deal with
• 4:19
  this individual. I have no idea what the number
• 4:20
  is, but it's a lot. So this is kind of a long
• 4:23
  clip, but it is some of, well, for one, it's
• 4:26
  Mayor Lorne McLean responding to, well, I don't
• 4:29
  know, I don't need to describe it. Here's the...
• 4:31
  Her non -apology apology. I guess you know there's
• 4:36
  gonna be... you know, yet another trial and yet
• 4:39
  another jury and yet another truckload of resources
• 4:42
  dumped into this asshole. And this is what NPR
• 4:45
  had to say about the upcoming trial attorneys
• 4:46
  representing the man accused of stabbing to death
• 4:48
  a 25 year old riding a scooter on the Boise Greenbelt
• 4:51
  earlier this month have asked that he be evaluated
• 4:54
  for the mental ability to stand trial. In a hearing
• 4:57
  yesterday, proceedings against defendant Ross
• 4:59
  Wardlaw were paused, and he was ordered to undergo
• 5:02
  a competency evaluation. Following treatment,
• 5:05
  Wardlaw earlier this year was found competent
• 5:07
  for trial in a different case, alleging he had
• 5:09
  threatened another man and a shelter worker with
• 5:11
  a knife. A jury ultimately acquitted him in that
• 5:14
  case, and he was released from custody in May.
• 5:16
  The murder case will remain on hold while Wardlaw
• 5:19
  receives treatment. that's gonna be giving him
• 5:27
  a pedicure while the other team treats him. And
• 5:29
  in any case, this isn't even the first time this
• 5:32
  year that he's been assessed for his mental competency.
• 5:37
  I mean, it's just, it's endless. It's a bottomless
• 5:40
  pool of resources being poured into this one
• 5:42
  person. Okay, so moving along. Go ahead. Yeah,
• 5:54
  yeah. This is KTVB. Now, this is a longer clip,
• 5:56
  but it covers a lot. KTVB decided to send a field
• 6:01
  reporter to speak to Boise Mayor Lauren McLean,
• 6:05
  and this was in response to the, if you recall
• 6:08
  from last show, the two lawmakers who aren't
• 6:12
  even from Boise and what they had to say about
• 6:14
  Boise not enforcing their own vagrancy laws.
• 6:18
  So here's KTVB and their extendo coverage of
• 6:20
  it and what Lauren McLean had to say. A tragedy
• 6:23
  on the green belt has turned political after
• 6:26
  an alleged homicide that left a 25 year old man
• 6:29
  dead. Yes. Dead. Right off the bat. Alleged homicide?
• 6:33
  No, the kid's definitely dead. He's definitely
• 6:36
  dead. Yeah. Somebody who allegedly died via...
• 6:41
  Allegedly. ...knife from somebody else. No, actually
• 6:44
  the thing I just keyed on immediately, and I
• 6:47
  know you heard it too, is, well... A tragedy
• 6:49
  has turned political again, again, like like
• 6:53
  anybody with a brain who points out how this
• 6:55
  could be avoided or how, you know, society as
• 6:59
  a whole could look differently if other policies
• 7:02
  were in place. But we're we're the bad guys.
• 7:05
  We're the bad guys for pointing out the dumpster
• 7:07
  fire that is every blue city. All of these every
• 7:12
  time there's any sort of trauma or story, which
• 7:14
  is all around the clock every day. It all immediately
• 7:18
  gets politicized by both sides. Everybody does
• 7:20
  it all the time. And the reason is that government
• 7:23
  is so involved in everything that everything
• 7:25
  is political because every incident can track
• 7:28
  back to this ordinance or that agency or this
• 7:30
  or that. Everything is political. So everything
• 7:33
  gets politicized. It's a tautology. Yep and we've
• 7:36
  talked about this before and in other discussions
• 7:38
  off air we talk about this with folks and you
• 7:41
  know it's it's the answer to the question well
• 7:43
  I just don't understand why why are we so divided
• 7:45
  you know when the boomers and and their parents
• 7:48
  talk about how back you know back in my day we
• 7:50
  didn't fight so much and we got along better
• 7:52
  and we could disagree but still get along and
• 7:54
  it's like well yeah because back in your day
• 7:56
  only half or maybe 40 percent of everything was
• 8:02
  covered by public policy. Now it's 90%. Well
• 8:05
  over a hundred. Yeah. And the moment that you
• 8:10
  make everything enforceable over the barrel of
• 8:12
  a gun, which is that's government. So the moment
• 8:14
  government is involved, now it's either pay or
• 8:16
  die or comply or die. Fun fact, pro tip. Now
• 8:22
  we have to be involved whether we like it or
• 8:23
  not or now, or at the very least be angry about
• 8:25
  it. So yeah. Yeah. You play stupid games. You
• 8:29
  win the stupidest of prizes. You're politicizing
• 8:32
  it. A tragedy on the green belt has turned political
• 8:35
  after an alleged homicide that left a 25 year
• 8:38
  old man dead. Yes. Dead rather yesterday. Left
• 8:41
  him dead. Yes, that's what it was. Dead rather
• 8:45
  yesterday. This random event that just left this
• 8:47
  person dead. See, again, now I know I haven't
• 8:50
  even we haven't even gotten three seconds into
• 8:51
  it. But look, the first the first two fucking
• 8:53
  sentences are like, OK, the bad guys have made
• 8:57
  it political. There's nothing to see here. There's
• 8:59
  no way it could possibly be blue city politics
• 9:01
  that played in that led up to this. And then
• 9:04
  and then this like this this death is something
• 9:08
  that just happened. Alleged is alleged death.
• 9:11
  Yeah, and she's listen she chokes on it too that
• 9:15
  left a 25 year old man dead. Yes dead rather
• 9:18
  It wasn't a passive event. It's like he fell
• 9:20
  into a manhole It's not like an earthquake happened
• 9:23
  in it or a tree fell on him or he got struck
• 9:25
  by lightning But they're making it sound like
• 9:26
  a passive event where there he was just walking
• 9:28
  down the Beltway and all of a sudden BAM He allegedly
• 9:31
  died to your point that the very first word tragedy
• 9:35
  on the green even the word tragedy No, it's like
• 9:39
  a tornado a tornado in Oklahoma is a tragedy,
• 9:43
  but they always refer to these events as tragedies
• 9:45
  These are like an act of evil and an earthquake
• 9:47
  in Paraguay are two different events, but they
• 9:50
  are both called tragedies by the mainstream media
• 9:52
  Yeah, what one is a violent offense one is an
• 9:57
  aggression one is a crime a fucking crime It's
• 10:00
  a crime. Well a crime occurred in the beltway
• 10:03
  yesterday, but no no, it's just a tragedy A tragedy
• 10:07
  on a green belt has turned political after an
• 10:10
  alleged homicide that left a 25 year old man
• 10:12
  dead. Yes, dead rather yesterday. And then she
• 10:15
  chokes on it. Dead rather 25 year old man dead.
• 10:18
  She was saying it right. She does not like she
• 10:21
  even said it right. A 25 year old man dead, but
• 10:23
  she still choked on it and still left a 25 year
• 10:26
  old man dead. Yes, dead rather yesterday. Checks
• 10:29
  notes. Yeah, he did die. That's okay. We're never
• 10:33
  gonna get don't you dare make this political?
• 10:35
  Yeah, well the far far far like this 25 year
• 10:39
  old Kid who's been robbed of who's been robbed
• 10:42
  of oh my god. Is there his entire life? Okay,
• 10:45
  we're never gonna get the more I think about
• 10:46
  it the angrier I get I know we're not and it's
• 10:48
  all my fault. I'm sorry Let's go. You did this
• 10:50
  to a Scott. It's a tragedy. 25 year old man dead.
• 10:54
  Yes, dead rather yesterday. Idaho House Speaker
• 10:56
  Mike Moyle and Representative Bruce Scog sent
• 10:59
  out a press release saying the city of Boise
• 11:01
  failed to enforce the state's ban on public camping,
• 11:05
  a law that passed last year, making it illegal
• 11:07
  to sleep or lay for prolonged period of time
• 11:11
  in public spaces. Scog and Moyle argue that 25
• 11:15
  year old Jordan Harp's murder could have been
• 11:18
  prevented because because the man accused of
• 11:19
  killing him is homeless. Well, the accusations
• 11:23
  put Boise Mayor Lauren McLean at the center of
• 11:26
  the debate. So this afternoon - Where she likes
• 11:28
  to be. She loves it. Mayor McLean is eating this
• 11:31
  up because it puts her right in the middle of
• 11:33
  things which she loves. She's no stranger to
• 11:36
  quote unquote controversy. She's no stranger
• 11:38
  to taking on the state of Idaho. In her mind,
• 11:40
  she is the bastion of neoliberal sensibilities.
• 11:43
  She is the progressive champion for all blue
• 11:48
  voters in Idaho, and she is loving this. I guarantee
• 11:51
  you, she's loving this. Her political star continues
• 11:54
  to rise. She's gross. This is gross. It's gross.
• 11:57
  They're gross. They're also missing the mark.
• 11:59
  It wasn't homelessness that caused this or a
• 12:01
  lack of enforcement of homelessness. This is
• 12:03
  a series of policy decisions over a decade or
• 12:06
  two, or frankly, it's the legal system. This
• 12:10
  is a legal system issue. The fact that you can
• 12:12
  be picked up like this guy has been so many times
• 12:14
  and spit back out so many times. In a legal system
• 12:18
  that is just completely defunct. Let's start
• 12:20
  there with just legal system reform start there
• 12:25
  There's almost there's almost no limit to how
• 12:28
  far up on the yoke You can pull to get above
• 12:30
  the can't like the the you know, the 10 ,000
• 12:33
  20 30 ,000 foot view especially from like, you
• 12:35
  know the and cap perspective Why is there even
• 12:39
  a public owned, why is there even a city owned
• 12:41
  green belt in the first place? Nobody, it's not
• 12:44
  clear who should be managing this space. Okay,
• 12:46
  we don't, I don't need to get into that. Let's
• 12:48
  do the clip, yeah. So this afternoon, we had
• 12:51
  the chance to talk to her and asked her directly
• 12:53
  how she responds to those claims made in their
• 12:56
  press release. What is your reaction to the accusations
• 13:00
  that say if the city of Boise had followed the
• 13:03
  law that young man would likely be alive They
• 13:05
  should consider hiring a wrongful death attorney
• 13:08
  for possible action against the city of Boise.
• 13:10
  Look I want to say that Now she I have to point
• 13:15
  this out and this is a no agenda has Mentioned
• 13:19
  this many times look starting your sentence with
• 13:23
  look you will hear public of public officials
• 13:27
  a government douchebags in general, but it's
• 13:30
  it's not it's not unique to that set, but it
• 13:32
  is used tactically overwhelmingly by that set,
• 13:36
  which is like they all went to the same clockwork
• 13:40
  orange style crash course for condescending douchebags
• 13:45
  that stand at podiums. Oh, you beat me to it.
• 13:47
  It's so smarmy and condescending to lead a sentence
• 13:51
  with look. You're trying to like establish yourself
• 13:54
  as an authority figure and an authority figure
• 13:56
  that's exasperated. They're even being asked
• 13:58
  this question by you stupid plebes who just don't
• 14:02
  get it. Look, let me explain. It's defensive
• 14:05
  and it's condescending. Like, hey, you filthy,
• 14:09
  shitty plebes. How dare you inconvenience me
• 14:12
  and force me to defend myself. So I'm going to
• 14:14
  defend myself. And that's again, we said it right
• 14:16
  off the bat. Whatever she says, even if she attempts
• 14:18
  an apology, it's a sorry, not sorry. Look, I'm
• 14:21
  real sorry. OK. Always reminds me of this gem.
• 14:26
  So let me be clear. So let me be clear. Look,
• 14:28
  let me be clear. Let me be clear about America's
• 14:32
  intentions. Let me be clear. The United States
• 14:34
  government has no interest. Look, look, let me
• 14:37
  be clear. GM. so let me be clear let me be clear
• 14:41
  let me be clear this unhoused person that unalived
• 14:46
  this young man collaboration with russia not
• 14:50
  confrontation yeah you get the idea it's just
• 14:53
  a more it's a more diplomatic way of doing the
• 14:56
  exact same tactical maneuver linguistically and
• 14:59
  you know uh commie Kamala Harris, aka Kami, you
• 15:03
  know, she tried the same thing with the let me
• 15:05
  be clear, but she has such a smarmy condescending
• 15:08
  affect that it reads, it read better coming out
• 15:12
  of Obama because as elocution and oratory goes,
• 15:15
  he was more polished, or at least he sounded
• 15:18
  more diplomatic and less condescending, but it
• 15:20
  is equally condescending in structure. He was
• 15:25
  actually a rather good orator, but without the
• 15:30
  assistance of the teleprompter, absolutely atrocious,
• 15:34
  as most people tend to be. So it's not necessarily
• 15:36
  unique to Obama. But everybody gave a guy like
• 15:39
  Obama so much credit for being such a great speaker
• 15:42
  and well -spoken. But when you look up on YouTube,
• 15:45
  it's all there. The moment the guy gets out from
• 15:48
  behind his teleprompter and it all is hot garbage
• 15:50
  and a half. Biden did it too. There's lots of
• 15:53
  clips of Biden doing the let me be clear thing.
• 15:55
  And he got away with it. So Obama got away with
• 15:57
  it because he was black. and southern sounding,
• 15:59
  even though he was from Chicago. But if you ever
• 16:01
  notice and half black, we went back through that
• 16:03
  montage. He would always go in kind of almost
• 16:06
  a southern drawl, Midwestern, northern, north,
• 16:11
  south kind of drawl, like the northern part of
• 16:14
  the south. And so he could get away with it.
• 16:16
  Deep voice, southern drawl. Let me be clear.
• 16:18
  Biden could get away with it because he was old.
• 16:20
  It's like, OK, Grandpa, yes, please be clear.
• 16:23
  Kamala couldn't get away with it because she
• 16:25
  was just bitchy about it. Look, first I want
• 16:29
  to say that the family of Mr. Harps is hurting
• 16:33
  right now. And this was totally inappropriate.
• 16:36
  This is not the right time to play. This is a
• 16:38
  version of, won't somebody please think of the
• 16:41
  children? Somebody please think of the children!
• 16:43
  You were asked a specific, well, sort of specific
• 16:45
  question, and your response is, people are hurting.
• 16:49
  That's not an answer, but okay. First I want
• 16:52
  to say... that the family of Mr. Harps is hurting
• 16:56
  right now. And this was totally inappropriate.
• 16:59
  Really? This is not the right time to play politics.
• 17:02
  This is the time to recognize and support that
• 17:06
  a family is grieving and a community is struggling.
• 17:09
  Lauren McLean has found a moment where it's not
• 17:11
  the right time to play politics. How do you like
• 17:13
  that? Weird. Huh? Oh, I love it. I love being
• 17:16
  lectured by the gal who's pushed policies that
• 17:19
  lead to things like this. right before she then
• 17:23
  changes the tone of the conversation and is like,
• 17:25
  but let's all come together. This is a time for
• 17:27
  mourning and a time to not worry about these
• 17:31
  things, but also after she just got finished
• 17:34
  scolding us. Look, have you tried thinking to
• 17:37
  the children? And to think about what we have
• 17:41
  done to keep the city safe and then what investments
• 17:45
  Whoops. Sorry. And then give us your money. I
• 17:49
  didn't even mean to pause it there. My index
• 17:53
  finger twitched on the space board investment.
• 17:57
  Oh, my God. So in one sentence, we're not even
• 18:01
  one sentence in and it went lecture, deflection.
• 18:09
  We need your money. We need this money. It's
• 18:12
  only going to be the whole willing partnership.
• 18:15
  could make possible to keep Boise and every city
• 18:18
  in the safe in the state safe. They allege that
• 18:21
  you won't follow the law. We're a nation of laws.
• 18:23
  Idahoans expect public officials to follow the
• 18:25
  law. Well, she's already shown she won't follow
• 18:27
  the law. She fought the state for like a year
• 18:29
  on the gay pride flag shit like. used public
• 18:32
  resources to fight the state of Idaho on removing
• 18:35
  the gay pride flag from city hall, which by the
• 18:39
  way is a government property and government property,
• 18:42
  which I don't agree with any of that shit to
• 18:44
  begin with. And I'm not a big believer in the
• 18:46
  power of sky cloth either, but in the, for the
• 18:49
  sake of propriety and appropriateness, the, the
• 18:53
  Idaho state government should only fly. Oh, I
• 18:56
  don't know the Idaho flag. Right. What other
• 18:59
  flag would we fly? Why would you do anything
• 19:00
  else? But, uh, you know, Mary McLean has spent
• 19:04
  a year plus, uh, and lots of resources fighting
• 19:08
  the state on that and being non -compliant. We
• 19:11
  are breaking the law when it suits them, but
• 19:13
  that's everybody a bill, a million laws, and
• 19:16
  we don't agree on them. So we're going to break
• 19:18
  the ones we don't like. Uh, look, I like the
• 19:22
  law when I like the law. Okay. They say they're
• 19:24
  sad and infuriated to see possible preventable
• 19:26
  crime occur in Boise because they won't enforce
• 19:28
  said law. Do you and the city of Boise enforce
• 19:32
  the camping ban law that went into effect last
• 19:34
  year? We do. I want to be clear about that. Let's
• 19:37
  be clear. We met with the attorney general shortly
• 19:39
  after the law. What else is she going to say?
• 19:40
  No, we totally don't. Well, we tell you idiots
• 19:45
  that we do, but guess what? Do you commit crimes
• 19:54
  or not? Well, no, totally. I totally don't commit
• 19:56
  crimes. Sure don't. Committed a crime in my life.
• 19:58
  Oh, okay. Well, good enough for us. Is there
• 20:04
  any fraud going on here? Did we import Minnesota
• 20:05
  reporters? No, no. No, no. I want to be clear
• 20:10
  about that. We met with the Attorney General
• 20:12
  shortly after the law was passed. I had a conversation
• 20:15
  with him about what he was looking for. We...
• 20:18
  our city that changed our ordinances to follow
• 20:21
  the law. And from the beginning, the police officers
• 20:24
  enforce the law. They are doing their job. And
• 20:27
  I am so proud of them. Now, you notice what she
• 20:30
  does is a slight of hand. She's now saying, oh,
• 20:34
  she's talking about Boise P .D. when the question
• 20:37
  was never up. And in point of fact, they even
• 20:39
  made a point to say Boise P .D. is nothing to
• 20:41
  do about it. And does a great job specifically
• 20:44
  talking about city leader, leader leadership.
• 20:47
  And she does the slight of. where she pivots
• 20:49
  to how great the police department is. We have
• 20:52
  the best police department ever. Pay no attention
• 20:56
  to anything else. This is actually a master class.
• 20:59
  How dare you say that PD is not doing their job?
• 21:03
  Look, they're doing their job! We changed our
• 21:07
  ordinances for this! We have great cops! And
• 21:12
  from the beginning, the police officers enforced
• 21:14
  the law. They are doing their job, and I am so
• 21:18
  proud of them. And I think it's really unfortunate
• 21:20
  that they're being accused of not doing their
• 21:22
  job. They're not? You are. Oh, wait. No, no.
• 21:24
  I don't think anybody's accused them. It's they've
• 21:26
  accused. You are. Oh. Hello. of neglecting their
• 21:31
  job. They are here first and foremost. Now you
• 21:34
  know why I was yelling. I told Paul before the
• 21:36
  show, he said, hey, wait, when we connected,
• 21:38
  you're on Clean Video. He was like, how are you
• 21:39
  doing this morning? I was like, well, I'm cleaning
• 21:41
  the spittle off of my Dell monitor because I've
• 21:44
  been yelling at my freaking my setup here for
• 21:47
  the last hour and a half. And now you know why.
• 21:48
  Are here first and foremost. Who buys this bullshit?
• 21:51
  Half the populace, my friend. OK, I have background
• 21:55
  music. I found it. I found the background music
• 21:57
  I need for this. All right, I'm ready. are here
• 22:02
  first and foremost to serve our residents, to
• 22:06
  keep the city safe, and to ensure that all of
• 22:09
  us, not only are safe, we've seen our crime continue
• 22:12
  to reduce. This was a terrible, terrible crime.
• 22:16
  Tragedy. But they are there to make sure that
• 22:19
  people not only feel safe, but that we are safe,
• 22:21
  and will continue to do that day in, day out.
• 22:24
  How does it feel to see accusations from your
• 22:27
  state legislators? How does it feel? Yeah, great
• 22:31
  question. Investigative journals. Oh, by the
• 22:32
  way, wait till they get the second half of this
• 22:34
  clip is when they talk to Bruce Scog and we can
• 22:37
  hear the difference in how the questions are
• 22:39
  framed and posed. When you're supposed to work
• 22:40
  hand in hand. I'm blown away that she hasn't
• 22:42
  used the word community yet. Is it coming? I've
• 22:46
  got to be coming. Yeah, over and over. What's
• 22:48
  the over under on this? Like, OK, I think when
• 22:52
  she wraps up, because people, politicians love
• 22:54
  to wrap up with. And if we all come together
• 22:57
  as a community, community, community, community,
• 23:00
  we can fix this. Give me your money. Uh, three
• 23:03
  times. She's going to say it three times. Taking,
• 23:05
  I'm taking the, uh, taking the over. You want
• 23:08
  the under? Well, I - Oh, you've heard it. So
• 23:10
  you already know. All right. I'm taking the over,
• 23:13
  I guess. Self -imposed over. Three. How does
• 23:16
  it feel to see accusations from your state legislators?
• 23:20
  when you're supposed to work hand -in -hand.
• 23:22
  How does it feel to be surrounded by assholes,
• 23:24
  Ms. McLean? Ms. Leader, leader, her glorious,
• 23:27
  splendid, burrito supreme leader? Look, cities
• 23:31
  around the state... Oh, she did it again, listen.
• 23:33
  Look, cities around the state... Look, cities
• 23:35
  around the state, look. Look, cities around the
• 23:37
  state have asked the state, the legislature,
• 23:41
  for investment in mental health support, in addiction
• 23:45
  support, in support to meet folks... that are
• 23:49
  experiencing homelessness to get them off the
• 23:51
  streets. We have none of that funding from the
• 23:53
  state, and yet Boiseans know. Oh, it turns out
• 23:56
  the problem was we don't get enough money. Money,
• 23:58
  they need money. I need money. We have none of
• 24:02
  that funding from the state, and yet Boiseans
• 24:05
  know that we're gonna roll up our sleeves, get
• 24:07
  to work, and try to figure out how we can do
• 24:09
  it to the best of our ability to put people first,
• 24:13
  to keep this community safe, to create solutions.
• 24:16
  Oh yeah. But again. Like at this moment in time
• 24:19
  when legislators from outside of the city have
• 24:22
  chosen to play politics, when our community is
• 24:26
  grieving is really unfortunate and inappropriate.
• 24:30
  And instead we should be learning from what happened
• 24:32
  and making sure that this doesn't happen again.
• 24:35
  And that takes true work. and investment, investment,
• 24:39
  investment, something that day in, day out, the
• 24:42
  city council, our residents, our business leaders,
• 24:45
  and partners in the community have demonstrated
• 24:47
  they're willing to do, and I remain committed
• 24:49
  to doing that. Does it almost feel like this
• 24:51
  was a campaign? You said investment four times
• 24:53
  so far. Investment four, community two. Keep
• 24:58
  it rolling. We'll get to another awesome, hard
• 25:02
  -hitting question from this investigative, independent,
• 25:05
  friendly neighborhood journalist reporter. Does
• 25:07
  it almost feel like this was a campaign note
• 25:09
  from these legislators? How does it feel? How
• 25:12
  does it make you feel? In a really tragic situation?
• 25:16
  Is Mayor McLean on the couch? And is the investigative
• 25:20
  journalism, is this a therapy? This is a - Fucking
• 25:23
  therapy session disguised as journalism. The
• 25:26
  reporter has her legs crossed and she has a clipboard
• 25:28
  and McLean is laying on her back on a fainting
• 25:30
  couch. In a really tragic situation. As a modern
• 25:32
  woman, from modern woman to modern woman, how
• 25:35
  does it make you feel when people criticize your
• 25:37
  shitty policies? I don't like the fact that somebody
• 25:41
  who doesn't live right here gets to have a say
• 25:43
  in anything. What about all the people who do
• 25:45
  live here who agree with Skog? All we, all I
• 25:49
  know. girl is that we need more money to invest
• 25:54
  and I love our cops. Does it almost feel like
• 25:58
  this was a campaign note from these legislators
• 26:02
  in a really tragic situation? Look, look, look,
• 26:06
  look, look, look, I can't, I can't explain to
• 26:09
  you what, what they're thinking. It's really
• 26:11
  unbelievable. You know why? Because leftists
• 26:14
  actually don't have any real empathy. They fail
• 26:17
  every Turing test that you can put in front of
• 26:19
  them. They don't know what it's like to think
• 26:21
  like anybody else. They can't. They are incapable
• 26:24
  of actually understanding minorities, of actually
• 26:27
  understanding anybody who disagrees with them.
• 26:29
  They lack genuine empathy while accusing anybody
• 26:34
  who disagrees with them of that same crime. The
• 26:37
  only empathy leftists really, really take a firm
• 26:41
  hold on is suicidal empathy. That's the only
• 26:45
  kind of empathy that left us understand. And
• 26:47
  it's the coin of the realm. Look, I can't I can't
• 26:51
  explain to you what what they're thinking. It's
• 26:54
  really unbelievable that we've got a family who's
• 26:57
  lost a loved one, a community that is calling
• 27:00
  on us asking questions. Are they three? And yes,
• 27:04
  they're safe. We're going to keep working hard
• 27:05
  to keep them safe. Oh yeah, super safe. I bet
• 27:09
  that young man felt pretty safe when he was getting
• 27:11
  stabbed to death. Yes. I bet when he, when the
• 27:13
  guy, when that crackhead jumped out of the bushes
• 27:15
  and started stabbing him, I bet that other dude
• 27:17
  was like, but wait, mayor says we're safe. The
• 27:21
  PD keeps us safe. The entity that is a knife
• 27:24
  free zone. How did the knife even get here? Look
• 27:27
  at the lamp post. There's a sign with a knife
• 27:29
  with the circle with the line going through it.
• 27:32
  The sign says no camping, no loitering and no
• 27:35
  knifing. Isn't it nice when they one of the one
• 27:39
  of the figurehead leader leader leaders of the
• 27:41
  apparatus that most threatens our well -being
• 27:43
  and safety Assures us about keeping us safe and
• 27:46
  safe keep them safe Department we have an ordinance
• 27:50
  for this Scott. We changed at least two ordinances
• 27:54
  Keep them safe. Keep them safe. Keep them safe
• 27:57
  So whenever we mark whenever we do a flashbang
• 28:00
  the baby story, we can just play this keep them
• 28:02
  safe. Yep All right, moving along. A police department
• 28:06
  that puts their lives in harm's way to keep our
• 28:10
  residents safe. Oh, we're back to that. That's
• 28:12
  fast. That's what we're doing. I can't begin
• 28:13
  to explain to you what they were thinking. That's
• 28:15
  what we're doing. You're not doing that, Mayor
• 28:16
  McClain. Shut up. She can't begin to explain
• 28:18
  to you what they were thinking, even though they
• 28:20
  said what they were thinking in the press release.
• 28:23
  They basically, they outlined their thoughts,
• 28:25
  but look at me. Begin to explain to you what
• 28:28
  they were thinking in sending a press release
• 28:30
  rather than offering partnership What are those
• 28:33
  proactive solutions right people are asking that
• 28:35
  question right now? How are you making the green
• 28:36
  belt safer? How are you making the community
• 28:38
  safer? I really appreciate that question because
• 28:40
  we want to know that we're doing that a Greenbelt
• 28:44
  perspective we've invested in safety Widening
• 28:47
  to keep people safe. We know traffic areas invested
• 28:51
  again that we need more lighting and the last
• 28:53
  couple years We've been investing in more lighting
• 28:55
  and will continue Folks are concerned, and just
• 29:06
  to be clear, it's folks with an X. I'm so so
• 29:28
  tired of that. It's great. You have to take this
• 29:30
  word back. This is absurd. I want to I think
• 29:33
  I'm going to have to start by just sending a
• 29:35
  postcard to every single politician in the state
• 29:37
  with the definition, the pure definition of an
• 29:41
  of invest. What does invest mean? And then underneath
• 29:43
  it be like you think a meme with the guy from
• 29:47
  Princess Bride be like, you keep using that word.
• 29:49
  I do not think it means what you think it means.
• 29:51
  It gets used in the, in the micro too, just like
• 29:53
  a normal conversation by normal non -leader,
• 29:55
  leader, leader types where people use the word
• 29:57
  invest when they mean spend happens all the time.
• 30:00
  It's not invest. I went to the, I went to Costco
• 30:03
  literally at Costco. I invested in a, in a 24
• 30:08
  a pack of eggs. You, you invested in it. So you
• 30:12
  basically on a micro level, you invested in ending
• 30:14
  hunger temporarily. Yay for you. That's literally
• 30:22
  what they're doing is like, yeah, I bought eggs.
• 30:24
  I fed a child. I invested in ending hunger. I
• 30:27
  invested in nutrition so that they can have face
• 30:32
  to face interactions with our residents, demonstrate
• 30:35
  that they're there for them. We will continue
• 30:37
  making those investments. All right. So that's
• 30:41
  nine. I'm pretty sure that's nine. OK, we're
• 30:44
  going to need to do it like I think maybe for
• 30:46
  a show gag. We just need to, maybe it's a drinking
• 30:49
  game or a bingo game. No ID bingo. All right.
• 30:53
  I'm going to simmer on this, Scott. We need something,
• 30:55
  a counter. Like every time we hear the word invest,
• 30:58
  community or leader. Or safety. Do you know how
• 31:00
  many times she used the word safety in that,
• 31:02
  in this clip? I mean, it's got to be a dozen.
• 31:06
  Here at long last is the second half of this
• 31:08
  clip where the, all of a sudden the investigative
• 31:10
  reporters turn very investigative. because now
• 31:14
  they're going to attempt to get one of the far
• 31:16
  -right KKKers on the line to figure out why they
• 31:19
  hate Boise PD and why they refuse to think of
• 31:23
  the children. And like you heard the mayor say,
• 31:26
  they are enforcing this law and we did reach
• 31:28
  out to be PD. We asked the mayor and the mayor
• 31:32
  said we are enforcing the law. So like you now
• 31:35
  know, the mayor said it, we are enforcing the
• 31:38
  law. Good God, man. We'll be right back after
• 31:41
  these messages from Pfizer. How many citations
• 31:43
  have they've enforced under this 2025 law? In
• 31:47
  2025, BPD issued a total of 62 citations from
• 31:51
  when it was implemented in May. And so far this
• 31:54
  year, they've issued 53 citations. It's been
• 31:58
  nearly one year and three months, which brings
• 32:00
  the total to 115 citations. The city says officers
• 32:04
  have to give a 24 hour notice before they remove
• 32:07
  them from the encampment. Well, there are two.
• 32:11
  So is that for one, like is so they go through
• 32:13
  the number of citations. I suppose they're trying
• 32:15
  to illustrate how enforcy BPD is being. But like
• 32:19
  the Schmeckel, like is that a lot? Is that a
• 32:21
  little? What is the context? Also, the notion
• 32:24
  of citations. What do you think a junkie who's
• 32:28
  sleeping on the freaking green belt cares about
• 32:30
  a citation? What do they care? You know, I'm
• 32:36
  actually still just thinking about how hostile
• 32:39
  and lexury, and I told you so, this reporter
• 32:43
  lady sounds. And the mayor. I mean, it's just...
• 32:48
  It's pervasive in the mainstream media. It's
• 32:51
  pervasive in our glorious Chalupa supreme leader
• 32:53
  leaders and This MSM group of people they're
• 32:57
  not sponsored by Pfizer man. They're sponsored
• 32:59
  by The city of Boise in this case, but basically
• 33:03
  there's their mouthpieces for the state Not the
• 33:06
  state of Idaho, but like the state the state
• 33:09
  and they're not even hiding it Well, there are
• 33:13
  two lawmakers making these accusations. Speaker
• 33:15
  of the House, Mike Moyle, who wouldn't do an
• 33:17
  interview with us because he's quote, out of
• 33:19
  town. And the other lawmaker is representative
• 33:22
  Bruce Skog. Quote, out of town. Like they say
• 33:26
  incredulously, like we don't really know if he's
• 33:28
  out of town. Maybe he's dodging our questions.
• 33:31
  I mean, what the hell is this? This is a total
• 33:33
  sp - fucking clown show, man. Or maybe they don't
• 33:35
  want to talk to you because you're biased and
• 33:38
  you're not actually reporters and you're just
• 33:40
  a propaganda outlet who's going to manipulate
• 33:42
  or edit my statements. I mean, I don't I wouldn't
• 33:44
  want to talk to you either. Not that, you know,
• 33:47
  law makers are like there's there's condoning
• 33:52
  of them hiding or not speaking publicly. But
• 33:54
  I can understand why I wouldn't they wouldn't
• 33:56
  want to speak to KTVB. But Bruce Scog did. And
• 34:00
  the other lawmaker is representative Bruce Scog.
• 34:03
  He was in town and our Cooper Morgan caught up
• 34:05
  with him who claims the city needs more enforcement
• 34:09
  of public camping law. He says the city needs
• 34:13
  more enforcement, claims the verbiage is interesting
• 34:17
  and deliberate. These words are typed into a
• 34:20
  teleprompter. Think about the use of the word
• 34:22
  claimed. They are deliberate. I didn't say it.
• 34:26
  I declared it. I declare bankruptcy and someone
• 34:36
  gets killed by a drunk driver peripherally as
• 34:39
  leadership. There may be some responsibility
• 34:42
  and that's the case here. If those laws are not
• 34:45
  being enforced on the parks downtown Boise and
• 34:48
  on the green belt, then peripherally the leadership
• 34:51
  may share some responsibility. Of course, the
• 34:54
  murder is the primary responsible person for
• 34:57
  what happened. Absolutely. Where are you kind
• 34:59
  of getting that information from? What? What
• 35:05
  kind of a question is that? It seems like it
• 35:07
  was much more heavily edited. Did I miss something?
• 35:11
  He didn't list any statistics. He didn't list
• 35:14
  any legislative facts. Yeah, what information?
• 35:19
  Maybe I just missed it. He didn't say anything
• 35:24
  where the natural response would be like, source.
• 35:28
  What's your source? It was chopped up and edited
• 35:32
  very heavily, this segment. Obviously I wasn't
• 35:34
  there in the editing room, so I don't know how
• 35:37
  much more of the McLean interview was cut up,
• 35:38
  but this one just sounded a lot choppier. I guess
• 35:41
  they had to, I don't know, they had to do a lot
• 35:43
  more maneuvering to get it ready for air, such
• 35:45
  that they could make Scog look like as far righty
• 35:48
  KKK -y as possible, and have the friendly neighborhood
• 35:52
  reporter sound as smart as possible, even though,
• 35:54
  listen to this question. Where are you kind of
• 35:56
  getting that information? Where are you kind
• 35:58
  of getting that information? Okay. Where are
• 36:01
  you kind of getting that information from? Why
• 36:03
  are you talking like that? Many people are calling
• 36:06
  or sending me notes. One man that lives off the
• 36:09
  green belt, he's the one that first alerted me.
• 36:11
  He said, this is still going on. I know you worked
• 36:14
  on some legislation in 2025, kind of described
• 36:18
  to me that legislation. And no follow up to that.
• 36:20
  They just switched topics. Well, where are you
• 36:23
  getting that information? Well, actually my constituents
• 36:26
  Yeah, call me up and tell me what's going on
• 36:28
  outside their house. So anyways And again, we
• 36:36
  don't we don't know what the actual conversation
• 36:38
  sounded like because they chop it up so heavily
• 36:40
  which is why the Moyle was quote out of town
• 36:44
  close quote and didn't want to talk to these
• 36:47
  people because you never know how they're gonna
• 36:48
  chop it up to make it sound and We don't either
• 36:51
  because I don't have the source audio, but here's
• 36:53
  what they gave us. Kind of describe to me that
• 36:56
  legislation and what the aim of it is safety
• 36:59
  -wise. Why do you, why kind of describe it? Why
• 37:01
  not just describe it? Just freaking describe
• 37:03
  it. Don't kind of describe it. Kind of describe
• 37:07
  to me. Okay. Kind of describe to me that legislation
• 37:11
  and what the aim of it is safety -wise. But the
• 37:15
  bill was brought for public safety. for the homeless,
• 37:19
  for those who are out camping, and also for the
• 37:22
  citizens. It's not to arrest anyone. Nobody gets
• 37:25
  arrested on this bill. But a city can lose public
• 37:29
  funding if it's found they're intentionally ignoring
• 37:33
  enforcement of this law. Do you and House Speaker
• 37:37
  Mike Moyle believe that this was influenced by
• 37:41
  that presence of homelessness? Well, if the reports
• 37:44
  are true that the man who committed this act
• 37:47
  was homeless and was camping regularly around
• 37:50
  the parks, yes. The cause of the murder is the
• 37:54
  murderer himself. But secondarily or peripherally,
• 37:58
  it's caused by not enforcing the law against
• 38:01
  the camping. Who is not enforcing the law? Well,
• 38:05
  the city of Boise is responsible for enforcing
• 38:08
  the no camping ban on public properties in their
• 38:11
  city. And if that's not being done, they are
• 38:14
  responsible. I make no claims against Boise City
• 38:17
  Police Department. They are an excellent police
• 38:19
  department. Top to bottom. I love the Boise PD.
• 38:23
  They're the best. What is one of the ways, Scott,
• 38:28
  that we can easily identify a cult? Acoustic
• 38:33
  guitars and underage runaways. Also, you can't
• 38:36
  criticize it. And you have to trip over yourself.
• 38:41
  to slobber all over it and, and lick the boot.
• 38:44
  So, I mean, truly metaphorically lick the boot.
• 38:47
  So, so hard, both these two people who would
• 38:51
  never be caught dead, shaking hands, other than
• 38:53
  for a photo op that might benefit them both,
• 38:56
  both go out of their way to tell us how much
• 39:01
  we love our cops. Just, I have, I have to throw
• 39:05
  that in there. Colt, it's a colt. Also the fellow
• 39:10
  who's conducting this interview is. It's like
• 39:14
  watching a bunch of retards trying to fuck a
• 39:16
  doorknob out there. It is so bad. They are responsible.
• 39:22
  I make no claims against Boise City Police Department.
• 39:24
  They are. And you know what's funny too is in
• 39:26
  here, here he is in no uncertain terms. Saying
• 39:29
  it's not Boise PD. I'm talking about they're
• 39:31
  wonderful and fantastic. I'm talking about the
• 39:33
  leadership Fantastic, and then the leader of
• 39:36
  the leader leader leadership turns around and
• 39:38
  goes. Why are you insulting Boise PD? Look don't
• 39:41
  insult Boise PD Excellent police department top
• 39:47
  to bottom, but they have to follow the direction
• 39:49
  of their council and their man So you don't believe
• 39:51
  it's a ground level issue. It's a leadership
• 39:55
  issue at the city of Boise Well, being a former
• 39:58
  city councilman myself, in my city, yes. Do you
• 40:01
  think it's at all dangerous to put out something
• 40:02
  that says that homelessness is so closely related
• 40:05
  to this incident? Listen to the framing of that
• 40:09
  question. That's the thing that's dangerous.
• 40:12
  It's not the homeless people with massive criminal
• 40:15
  records stabbing 25 -year -old kids on their
• 40:18
  way to and from home. No, no, it's you, Skog,
• 40:24
  who is dangerous for Talking about it And if
• 40:29
  you listen like you could ask that the question
• 40:31
  is stupid in the first place But you could still
• 40:34
  ask it like why did you put this out not don't
• 40:37
  you think it's sort of dangerous that you did
• 40:40
  this the framing is hilarious like as usual everything
• 40:46
  the MSM does betrays its own baloney, do you
• 40:50
  think it's at all dangerous to put out something
• 40:51
  that says that homelessness is so closely related
• 40:54
  to to this incident? Yeah, why would an incident
• 40:58
  where a homeless junkie murdered somebody after
• 41:01
  being caught and released and caught and released
• 41:03
  like a freaking sturgeon 1 ,800 times? Isn't
• 41:08
  it a little dangerous to put it out there that
• 41:11
  homelessness has something to do with a crime
• 41:13
  involving a homeless person? Do you think it's
• 41:15
  at all dangerous to put out something that says...
• 41:17
  Sorry. Even if the claim or even if making the
• 41:22
  connection was a flawed connection, and they
• 41:26
  were unrelated things. Nothing about it is dangerous.
• 41:30
  There's nothing inherently dangerous at all about
• 41:32
  that statement or drawing that connection, even
• 41:35
  if it's flawed or wrong. So it's just, you cannot
• 41:38
  hate these people enough. You just cannot hate
• 41:41
  the MSM enough for them to call that dangerous,
• 41:45
  even if it was inaccurate. It's not dangerous.
• 41:49
  Nobody's called for the... firebombing of the
• 41:52
  homeless camps. Nobody's called for the deportation
• 41:54
  of them. Nobody's called for the execution of
• 41:56
  them or the quarantining or the rounding up.
• 41:58
  Nothing of the sort. The battle, if you can even
• 42:01
  call it that, is super soft. And it's basically
• 42:03
  like, hey, Boise Mayor, you and your sinko fans
• 42:07
  suck. Your policies suck. And you aren't upholding
• 42:10
  the law the way it's been designed specifically
• 42:13
  to make sure these sorts of incidents don't happen.
• 42:16
  And one happened. And now I'm drawing the connection.
• 42:19
  And this He is just a retard. He's like, don't
• 42:23
  you think it's dangerous to talk about that and
• 42:25
  make that connection? What? So if Skogg, see
• 42:30
  this is the problem when boomer, being the boomers
• 42:33
  that they are, they're not quick on their feet.
• 42:35
  You asked me that question and I'd immediately
• 42:37
  turn it around on the guy and be like, well,
• 42:38
  don't you think it's dangerous to be on the green
• 42:40
  belt where homeless people can stab you to death?
• 42:43
  Do you think it's at all dangerous to put out
• 42:45
  something that says that homelessness is so closely
• 42:48
  related to? to this incident? Well, that's not
• 42:52
  my intent, or Speaker Moyle's intent. Look at
• 42:55
  this guy. He's backtracking. Yeah, right. I know.
• 42:58
  It's not my intent. He's defending himself. That
• 43:01
  question that he just got pitched was a softball
• 43:06
  and one that he could have hit a home run on
• 43:08
  and fired right back at the interviewer and just
• 43:12
  nailed him to the wall on it. And instead, what
• 43:14
  does he do? He soft pedals backwards. I didn't
• 43:16
  mean to. I don't know why they don't do that.
• 43:19
  These are our GOP leader, leader, leaders in
• 43:22
  the state of Idaho. And this is why Idaho is,
• 43:25
  everybody thinks it's red. It's not. Idaho is
• 43:27
  a car that is red on the outside, but with a
• 43:30
  blue engine. Well, that's not my intent or Speaker
• 43:35
  Moyle's intent. The intent of the press release
• 43:37
  is that a law is not being enforced that should
• 43:39
  be being enforced for public safety. 115 camps
• 43:44
  in total have been cleaned up since May of 2025
• 43:49
  to the current day. Is that a question? I did
• 43:54
  not edit that. That's how it aired. That was
• 43:57
  a statement, not a question. Also, the stats
• 44:00
  are conflicting because unless they're using
• 44:02
  two different sets of stats, the news lady who
• 44:06
  just lectured us a few minutes ago gave numbers
• 44:09
  of citations, the number of citations that were
• 44:12
  issued, which was like 120 something across a
• 44:15
  year. I think this kid is using that same stat
• 44:19
  because the number was pretty damn close, but
• 44:21
  then he's saying encampments. It's a pretty loose
• 44:24
  use of the word encampment, if that's how he's
• 44:26
  using it, because an encampment would entail
• 44:28
  like a community, tongue not in cheek when I
• 44:31
  use that word this time, but like a community
• 44:33
  of homeless people, kind of a full encampment.
• 44:37
  I mean, common sense is, Scott, when you use
• 44:40
  the term encampment, it conjures up images of
• 44:43
  multiple people, multiple tents. you know, sort
• 44:46
  of a little tent village, if you will, pulling
• 44:48
  together, not a single person camping out. But
• 44:53
  that's the way this kid is making it sound, as
• 44:57
  if like they've cleaned up all these encampments
• 44:59
  already. No, I think he's referring to the 120
• 45:02
  citations that have been issued. Even if it were,
• 45:05
  let's say the stats match. She had said encampments
• 45:08
  cleared and he's repeating the same thing. It
• 45:10
  still is meaningless. It has no context. 115
• 45:13
  out of how many? If they were cleared, did they
• 45:16
  come back in a different form the next day? Did
• 45:18
  they move 30 feet down, like back in San Francisco
• 45:21
  to defeat parking enforcement? You know, you're
• 45:24
  only allowed to park here two hours and you would
• 45:26
  just rub the chalk off and move a block away,
• 45:28
  but in the same general vicinity, like, did I
• 45:32
  move my car? I mean, yeah, I guess I technically
• 45:34
  did, but there it is over there, half a block
• 45:36
  away. There's no context at all to 115 encampments
• 45:41
  cleared. And this isn't even a question. It's
• 45:43
  basically just like a, hey, asshole, they already
• 45:45
  clear all this stuff. Are you are you asking
• 45:50
  me something? Certainly, that's a positive sign.
• 45:52
  Police are getting rid of the encampments, but
• 45:55
  reports that we are getting people are camping
• 45:57
  in the daytime, sometimes right on the green
• 46:00
  belt. Boise Police Department did send us stats
• 46:03
  about camps cleaned up. I'll tell you what, everybody's
• 46:09
  playing top cover for Boise police department.
• 46:11
  Again, I can't, I have to push this a little
• 46:14
  bit. Like everybody, everybody, the mayor, Skog,
• 46:18
  these MSM chodes, like this whole thing is swirling
• 46:22
  around and everybody's like, but you know, the
• 46:25
  Boise police, they're all right. They're doing
• 46:27
  good. Also we asked them and they gave us the
• 46:30
  numbers and it's all good guys. It's all good.
• 46:33
  Boise Boise police for for president 2028 Boise
• 46:37
  police. Boise police department did send us stats
• 46:42
  about camps cleaned up. How can you say that
• 46:46
  they aren't enforcing the law? He just told you
• 46:49
  that. He just said his constituents are telling
• 46:52
  him that there are encampments on the green.
• 46:55
  Well, on top of that, how can you say that paperwork?
• 46:59
  Again, it doesn't make any sense. This kid is
• 47:01
  an idiot. Boise says they sent you the reports.
• 47:06
  How can you make this claim? OK, well, what's
• 47:09
  in the reports then? Maybe the reports say that
• 47:14
  it was pretty low. Maybe it was high. Maybe whatever.
• 47:16
  But again, you're just absolutely lacking context.
• 47:21
  I was going to say ask these questions, but he's
• 47:23
  not asking questions. He's issuing statements.
• 47:26
  How can you say this guy, this kid? I can't not
• 47:29
  stand this kid. He has this job because he he
• 47:32
  is somebody's nephew. I guarantee it. Like somebody
• 47:36
  who up in the network, this is their nephew,
• 47:39
  maybe their kid, but more likely their nephew.
• 47:41
  And they're just like, OK, please, just give
• 47:44
  this kid a job. Will you? He's a fucking moron.
• 47:47
  Like no one else will hire him. Come on. And
• 47:50
  Judy, will you just give this kid a job? Please
• 47:52
  just start him out there and see what happens.
• 47:54
  And, you know. Just give the kid a job. I have
• 47:58
  a network nepotism is now in the running for
• 48:00
  show title How can you say network nepotism?
• 48:03
  Yeah, there's no way this kid interviewed for
• 48:06
  it There's no way what would it be like interviewing
• 48:09
  this kid who who went like he doesn't ask questions
• 48:12
  He gives statements. So maybe and maybe it's
• 48:14
  a reversal when he's asked a question and expected
• 48:17
  to give a statement He responds with a question.
• 48:19
  So I'd be like I'd be like So, where do you see
• 48:23
  yourself in five years? So kind of like where
• 48:27
  did you get your information for these questions
• 48:30
  in this interview that you're asking me? Can
• 48:32
  you name your source? Can you sort of kind of
• 48:35
  name your source? How can you say that they aren't
• 48:39
  enforcing the law? People that are down at the
• 48:43
  parks people that are using the green belt are
• 48:47
  seeing campers Long -term not just one night
• 48:51
  camping right there, and it's causing danger
• 48:54
  How can you guys at least work with the city
• 48:57
  to help tackle this problem? Again, again, throwing
• 49:01
  in the at least, you can say, how can you, how
• 49:05
  can you guys at least work with the city to help
• 49:08
  tackle this problem? How can you help? How can
• 49:10
  you guys work with the city to help tackle this
• 49:12
  problem? When you throw in the at least, it just
• 49:15
  is like, you're a giant asshole in every conceivable
• 49:19
  way. Is there a way you can at least just do
• 49:22
  this one part? I got nothing. OK. It's like,
• 49:29
  did I lose you? Sure. How can you guys at least
• 49:32
  work with the city to help tackle this problem?
• 49:35
  I know for a fact that Senator Cody Galloway
• 49:37
  has met with the mayor after the passage of this
• 49:40
  law and before, and has worked with her to try
• 49:44
  to make this effective. I don't know what's gone
• 49:47
  on recently in recent months. Why did you feel
• 49:49
  the need to jump in on the conversation with
• 49:52
  Moyle? And what the hell? This isn't an interview,
• 49:56
  Scott. This is an interrogation. Exactly. This
• 49:59
  whole thing is an interrogation. Contrast that
• 50:01
  contrasted with the therapy session. How do you
• 50:04
  feel, Ms. McLean? How do you feel? Hey, is your
• 50:07
  assistant getting you a latte? Do you want to
• 50:08
  refill? How do you feel about it? This is I mean,
• 50:14
  the contrast is incredibly stark. It's impressively
• 50:18
  stark. Wow. Isn't it fantastic? It is, but we're
• 50:23
  almost done with it. So in the wrong ways. Yeah,
• 50:26
  it's a long presentation. I'm sorry. We're killing
• 50:28
  it over here. I'm in the House. I'm the chairman
• 50:32
  and the speaker is the speaker of the House.
• 50:34
  So we're representing the House members who voted
• 50:37
  for this bill and we send this out. Now when
• 50:40
  I asked about future plans, Scott says Idaho
• 50:42
  needs more investment in mental health care,
• 50:44
  but not the kind of approach he says has failed
• 50:46
  in cities like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco,
• 50:48
  and LA. He argues those cities have spent millions
• 50:51
  on homelessness without solving the problem.
• 50:53
  He says Idaho should avoid following that path,
• 50:56
  but Morgan just kind of showed him those stats,
• 50:58
  and he kept pointing to people that were on the
• 51:01
  green belt saying they had seen these homeless
• 51:04
  encampments, and that's really where this issue
• 51:06
  stems from. This kid just reaffirmed what Skog
• 51:11
  was saying. Yep. He just said it. He kinda sorta
• 51:14
  reaffirmed it. And I was gonna say between my
• 51:21
  interview your interview here I think that was
• 51:23
  the big question right is where do we even go
• 51:25
  from here? We even had Deborah golden Boise who
• 51:27
  said if they're so concerned about people camping
• 51:29
  on the green belt You usually have a mental illness.
• 51:32
  Why don't they fund mental health programs? Yeah,
• 51:35
  that would be the big question for for both is
• 51:37
  you know, the city is trying to do it with lack
• 51:39
  of funding from budget cuts from the state this
• 51:42
  year these cuts are yeah that one and a half
• 51:49
  percent ultimately I think that got cut that's
• 51:51
  what it was this poor young man is dead yeah
• 51:56
  Melissa Wintour was right these cuts are literally
• 51:59
  killing people I mean these cuts cut that 1 .5
• 52:02
  percent that's it that's it there he is case
• 52:05
  in point now homeless point we need money dude
• 52:08
  I'm sure that that guy as he's stabbing that
• 52:11
  poor young man to death was like You should've
• 52:13
  approved that one and a half percent, you fucker!
• 52:17
  If only you'd made the budget bigger I wouldn't
• 52:20
  have to do this You know, the city is trying
• 52:22
  to do it with lack of funding from budget cuts
• 52:25
  from the state this year But it sounds like that
• 52:28
  that might be something on the radar as long
• 52:30
  as it doesn't look like these big cities Is that
• 52:32
  right? Yeah, he kind of explained it like avoiding
• 52:34
  that kind of homeless that bigger cities like
• 52:39
  Seattle and Portland you can see there and so
• 52:41
  But it's just kind of a complex situation Homelessness
• 52:46
  is just kind of a complex situation. It's very
• 52:48
  complex and It's you know, now it's very complex,
• 52:52
  right? Right. Yeah, right. Oh, well, that's because
• 52:54
  you're an idiot. I Can't do this anymore. All
• 52:57
  right, we're done what you've just said Is one
• 53:00
  of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever
• 53:03
  heard Everyone in this room is now dumber for
• 53:07
  having listened to it. May God have mercy on
• 53:09
  your soul. I award you no points Okay, here's
• 53:17
  a little before we do a we're already at freaking
• 53:19
  Mitchell. We need to take a shower after that
• 53:21
  one's telling us give us a Give us something
• 53:24
  that'll wash this one off. We need the ace Ventura
• 53:27
  rape shower How about we'll do this is very short
• 53:32
  this is a promo from KIFI News 8, it's an East
• 53:40
  Idaho local news Emporium. And this was a promo
• 53:43
  that they ran that I thought was awesome. Today,
• 53:46
  the Teton Dam is quiet. The river flows freely.
• 53:50
  But 50 years ago this week, this was the site
• 53:53

  American history. The devastating collapse of

• 54:19
  unsolved mysteries? How did they do from a marketing
• 54:23
  standpoint? Was this to the catch your attention
• 54:24
  and really make you want to tune in at eight?
• 54:27
  Mean it was the most cataclysmic the most cataclysmic
• 54:32
  Yeah, sure. You've seen Hurricane Katrina and
• 54:33
  you saw what happened to Pontchartrain in the
• 54:35
  levees But it was nothing compared to the Teton
• 54:38
  Dam in Idaho in the 70s Yeah, no, this is a good
• 54:42
  history channels unsolved mysteries hook right
• 54:45
  here it was it failed the basically the moment
• 54:50
  it was first filled so it was a federal dam project
• 54:53
  it was an earth dam and When it was when the
• 54:56
  reservoir was first filled, it basically leaked
• 54:59
  and then immediately collapsed after, of course,
• 55:02
  having all the engineering and being signed off
• 55:04
  on by all of them. Oh, yeah. No, this is good.
• 55:06
  Everything's good. And then they filled the reservoir
• 55:08
  and the entire thing just collapsed and then
• 55:10
  sent three hundred thousand acre feet of water
• 55:13
  basically all the way from west east to west
• 55:16
  across Idaho and flooded a bunch of towns. Luckily,
• 55:19
  nobody like lived here then, you know. But yeah.
• 55:22
  It was a pretty, I mean, it was a cataclysmic
• 55:24
  failure. I just loved the part where they were
• 55:26
  like, it was the most cataclysmic and it's like,
• 55:29
  okay, were you, you did see what happened with
• 55:31
  Katrina, right? The entire history of America.
• 55:34
  Yeah. I love it. Yeah. Sensationalist love. I
• 55:37
  wonder how much that cost in today's adjusted
• 55:40
  dollars in 1970. No, I'm looking at it now on
• 55:44
  the map and there's a reason why I don't really
• 55:46
  know. And it's because it's in South East Idaho.
• 55:51
  Southeast Idaho might as well be on the moon.
• 55:54
  Well, they might have filmed parts of the fake
• 55:57
  moon landing in that region for that reason.
• 56:00
  I mean, it already looks like the moon. It's
• 56:02
  a huge fat spot. It's possible. Actually, hot
• 56:05
  take on that, if you want a quick hot take aside.
• 56:08
  And this one is courtesy of my good friend, Steve
• 56:10
  Pegg. First time I ever heard it was from him
• 56:12
  a few years back. And I went, that tracks. I
• 56:14
  like it. We did go to the moon. There's no doubt
• 56:17
  about it. We went to the moon. The reason why
• 56:20
  none of the video footage really adds up to what
• 56:22
  we know about moon physics and space physics
• 56:24
  is because it was filmed in studio. The thought
• 56:29
  process here is like they didn't really have
• 56:31
  the easy capability to actually film that shit,
• 56:36
  but knowing human nature and knowing the American
• 56:38
  public and in the age of TV now where everybody's
• 56:41
  used to having images of everything, it was imperative
• 56:44
  that the world had images. And you could and
• 56:48
  could could see it. So I think we went, I think
• 56:54
  the video footage actually very well could have
• 56:56
  been staged for the purpose of giving the world
• 56:59
  a visual of what it would be. So, in other words,
• 57:03
  we, we did take it, but we did actually do it,
• 57:06
  but we faked the documentation of doing it not
• 57:09
  not in the way you would think, but yes, I mean,
• 57:12
  so an aspect of it was faked, but. You know,
• 57:15
  NASA's real and space travels real and the moon
• 57:17
  landing was real. But the visual representation
• 57:19
  of it had to be curated. Well, there was what
• 57:22
  was that movie that just came out a couple of
• 57:24
  years ago that was that exact premise? Did you
• 57:27
  see it? No. Hold on, let's see. Describe the
• 57:33
  movie that came out within the last few years
• 57:35
  that showed a faked moon landing, but that we
• 57:38
  really went to the moon. Looking that up. Oh,
• 57:44
  cool. Looking it up. Sounds like Fry Me To The
• 57:46
  Moon, 2024 with Scarlett Johansson and Channing
• 57:50
  Tatum. It's a romantic comedy set against the
• 57:53
  Apollo 11 era where a government's PR person
• 57:58
  is asked to stage a backup fake moon landing
• 58:00
  in case the real mission fails. Spoiler, the
• 58:04
  real landing succeeds and the fake moon landing
• 58:07
  idea in the film is just a fictional what if
• 58:11
  scenario, not a claim that the moon landing was
• 58:14
  fake. The movie doesn't - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
• 58:17
  there you go. So did you see that movie? It's
• 58:18
  actually a good movie. No, I have not seen that
• 58:22
  movie. Good movie. I'm curious. Those are two
• 58:25
  actors I tend to avoid, but I'll take a look.
• 58:29
  Well, and it's, there's also, I'm pretty sure
• 58:31
  a name for when they, they, you know, whatever
• 58:35
  three liter agencies put out movies about stuff
• 58:37
  like a Zoolander is MK Ultra, but you put it
• 58:42
  out as some as like a work of fiction or a satire
• 58:45
  or a comedy to pit like the paint the notion
• 58:48
  of thinking that that was a thing like oh, it's
• 58:49
  ridiculous like it's a absurd slapstick comedy
• 58:53
  that we would use You know mind control techniques
• 58:56
  to create Manchurian candidates. That's a conspiracy
• 58:58
  theory. But then meanwhile like oh, you know
• 59:00
  MK Ultra was definitely real, but we don't do
• 59:03
  it anymore So maybe this is just one of those
• 59:05
  movies like we're putting it out there is fiction
• 59:08
  But why male models? Alright. As soon as you
• 59:14
  mentioned Zoolander, I had to dial that one.
• 59:15
  I know. There's just so many, so many... I don't
• 59:19
  want to hear your excuses! Alright, no excuses.
• 59:22
  Let's get to mid -show before we come up with
• 59:24
  more excuses to continue this baloney. And that's
• 59:28
  where we pitch to you guys what is not baloney,
• 59:32
  which is the value for value model. It is very
• 59:34
  straightforward. No baloney about it. It's super
• 59:37
  simple and it goes something like this. We try
• 59:42
  to put out a valuable product with this show
• 59:44
  and comes out every Thursday and we put our heart
• 59:48
  and soul kind of sort of look, we kind of sort
• 59:52
  of put our heart and soul into this. And if you
• 59:56
  find it valuable, if you don't you think it's
• 1:00:00
  dangerous, Scott, to be put to be putting out
• 1:00:03
  something like this. Don't you just think it's
• 1:00:04
  so dangerous? Don't you kind of think it's sort
• 1:00:08
  of dangerous to be running the value for value
• 1:00:10
  model? If you find our program valuable, here's
• 1:00:14
  the proposition Then we ask that you return value
• 1:00:18
  to the show and value means many different things
• 1:00:21
  to many different people Five dollars could be
• 1:00:24
  a lot to you or five thousand dollars could mean
• 1:00:27
  nothing It takes all kinds and there are many
• 1:00:30
  different ways to return value not just treasure.
• 1:00:33
  It's time talent or treasure in fact those are
• 1:00:36
  the mechanisms by which we ask you to return
• 1:00:39
  value if you find the show valuable. At noidshow
• 1:00:42
  .com, there is mechanisms to do all that. There's
• 1:00:47
  a contact button if you'd like to send us any
• 1:00:49
  form of communication, feedback, articles, show
• 1:00:53
  art. news clips, audio, anything like that. There
• 1:00:58
  are treasure buttons, PayPal and Venmo and all
• 1:01:01
  that, if you'd like to kick back some treasure
• 1:01:03
  our way. So time, talent, or treasure are all
• 1:01:06
  greatly appreciated modes of value returned in
• 1:01:08
  the value for value model. I'm thinking I'd like
• 1:01:11
  to, we do have an executive producer this week,
• 1:01:13
  I'm thinking I would like to maybe read this
• 1:01:16
  note. while we're here from speaking of investment
• 1:01:20
  and boomers. This is an anonymous boomer who
• 1:01:23
  wrote us this note and I'd like to ambush you
• 1:01:26
  with it. In episode 37, it's episode 37 asset
• 1:01:33
  versus commodity is the title. In episode 37,
• 1:01:35
  Paul describes, quote, treating housing like
• 1:01:38
  an asset, but what housing is supposed to be
• 1:01:40
  is a commodity, close quote. So now his note
• 1:01:42
  says, no. In fact, double no. Not only did boomers
• 1:01:46
  not create this as if pre -boomers housing was
• 1:01:50
  a commodity, the entire notion is fiction. Housing
• 1:01:52
  is most certainly an asset and not a commodity.
• 1:01:56
  Never was a commodity and never will be. While
• 1:01:59
  AI can have reliability issues, defining the
• 1:02:01
  differences between assets and commodities is
• 1:02:03
  a question that it can easily handle with decent
• 1:02:05
  accuracy. I added yellow highlights. And then
• 1:02:07
  here, this is a little, it's kind of a lot of
• 1:02:10
  words because it's basically a copy pasted. chat
• 1:02:12
  gpt thing but uh here i'll read a couple of them
• 1:02:15
  uh an asset is a broad term while a commodity
• 1:02:18
  is a specific type of asset in other words all
• 1:02:21
  commodities are assets but most assets are not
• 1:02:23
  commodities so then it goes through a bunch of
• 1:02:27
  Asset anything of economic value that can provide
• 1:02:30
  future benefit or generate cash flow commodity
• 1:02:32
  a basic standardized interchangeable good used
• 1:02:35
  in commerce Basic building block of the economy
• 1:02:38
  that is bought and sold primarily by weight volume.
• 1:02:40
  Okay This is just too many words, but the notion
• 1:02:43
  of he's challenging your assertion that housing
• 1:02:46
  should be a commodity He's saying it's an asset
• 1:02:48
  and it's always been an asset So he's he's refusing
• 1:02:54
  commodity as capital is part of the issue there,
• 1:02:58
  which they can be interchangeable. Assets, commodities,
• 1:03:02
  capital. Capital sort of encompasses all of it,
• 1:03:05
  I suppose. But capital can be time, energy, labor,
• 1:03:08
  fiat currency, hard currency, raw materials,
• 1:03:12
  intellect, IP, whatever. That's capital. So I
• 1:03:18
  guess capital is the big umbrella under which
• 1:03:20
  assets and commodities exist. So a car is not
• 1:03:27
  an asset or if it is, it's a depreciating asset.
• 1:03:32
  If you're making payments on your car, it's not
• 1:03:33
  an asset because it's not making you any money.
• 1:03:35
  It's not an investment in that way where you
• 1:03:38
  make money back. Now, it's a tool that allows
• 1:03:42
  you to get where you need to go. It's a commodity.
• 1:03:45
  It's a bunch of raw resources put together into
• 1:03:48
  a useful thing that you then use to get to work
• 1:03:51
  or to run your errands or to live your life the
• 1:03:52
  way you want to live. But it doesn't direct unless
• 1:03:55
  you use your car directly to earn you money or
• 1:03:58
  capital or revenue. It's not an asset It's an
• 1:04:02
  expense same thing with your house. My house
• 1:04:04
  is an expense. I pay a mortgage My house does
• 1:04:07
  not generate revenue. It generates expenses.
• 1:04:10
  I have upkeep I have the mortgage I have property
• 1:04:14
  taxes What my point my main point is that? Homes
• 1:04:19
  should not be considered assets. We shouldn't
• 1:04:22
  treat them that way Because the moment we treat
• 1:04:24
  them that way, assets must necessarily increase.
• 1:04:27
  We want them to increase in value. If you have
• 1:04:30
  that mentality around housing or your homes,
• 1:04:33
  well, then they only ever get more expensive.
• 1:04:36
  And it's one piece of the puzzle between the
• 1:04:39
  Federal Reserve and its monetary policy between
• 1:04:43
  the government and its fiscal policy. that has
• 1:04:46
  devalued the dollar, debased it basically down
• 1:04:48
  to less than 1 % of what it was when the Federal
• 1:04:50
  Reserve opened up in 1913, or was chartered in
• 1:04:53
  1913, and then began operating in 1914. Just
• 1:04:56
  in time, by the way, to help fund, help America
• 1:05:01
  pay for World War I. Impeccable timing. That's
• 1:05:03
  a whole other history lesson. Yeah, it's absolutely
• 1:05:06
  impeccable timing. America never could have participated
• 1:05:08
  in World War I. if the Federal Reserve did not
• 1:05:11
  exist. Because war is expensive. War is really
• 1:05:14
  expensive. So the only way you can afford long
• 1:05:16
  -term, high -intensity, long -term war is you
• 1:05:19
  have to debase the currency. That's just historical.
• 1:05:21
  Just take a look at history. Any nation, any
• 1:05:24
  country, any empire, they err at war all the
• 1:05:27
  time, they debase the currency, they fall. But
• 1:05:30
  I digress. Houses being viewed as assets the
• 1:05:33
  way they are now and as wealth preservers is
• 1:05:36
  not what should be happening. It is what is happening.
• 1:05:40
  That's no argument. And yeah, boomers definitely
• 1:05:43
  put it into overdrive. It didn't. Maybe it didn't
• 1:05:46
  start with boomers. I would make the case that
• 1:05:47
  it really that the mentality really did start
• 1:05:50
  with either the generation behind boomers, their
• 1:05:53
  parent boomers, parents or boomers themselves.
• 1:05:55
  And if it didn't start there, they're the ones
• 1:05:57
  who put it into overdrive with the real estate
• 1:06:00
  industry being what it is. I mean, that's boomer
• 1:06:02
  built, man. Like the silent generation. They
• 1:06:05
  weren't all a bunch of realtors. Fast forward
• 1:06:07
  to now, and every boomer, Gen Xer, and millennial
• 1:06:10
  is a damn real estate agent. Everybody's got
• 1:06:12
  a real estate license. Real estate is a whole
• 1:06:15
  industry unto itself. And it shouldn't be. You
• 1:06:18
  shouldn't need 18 people involved to buy or sell
• 1:06:21
  your house. It shouldn't be 900 pages of paperwork.
• 1:06:25
  It shouldn't be, oh, what did the Fed say interest
• 1:06:28
  rates are today? And that dictates my mortgage.
• 1:06:30
  And it shouldn't be Oh, most of my wealth is
• 1:06:33
  in my house. So I need my house to be worth more.
• 1:06:36
  And it prices out the younger generations. That's
• 1:06:38
  what it is. But that's not what it should be.
• 1:06:42
  That's my point. And now commodities and assets,
• 1:06:45
  there's interchangeability there, but they're
• 1:06:46
  not the same. And no, if you're if you're paying
• 1:06:48
  a mortgage and you're paying property taxes,
• 1:06:51
  your house is not an asset. It's a liability.
• 1:06:54
  It's like your car. If your car payment, just
• 1:06:56
  like anything else that you incur expenses on,
• 1:06:58
  it's a liability. If it generates revenue. It's
• 1:07:01
  an asset. And the fact that we've used houses
• 1:07:03
  as a way to hedge against inflation and as a
• 1:07:06
  way to protect, basically store wealth and whatnot.
• 1:07:10
  And it's on paper. It's documented that boomers,
• 1:07:13
  a vast amount of their wealth is put into their
• 1:07:15
  houses, which is why they're so damn touchy and
• 1:07:18
  cagey about housing. They need their houses to
• 1:07:22
  cost more because of the structure they've set
• 1:07:25
  up or that they've Maybe they didn't set it up
• 1:07:28
  their parents did but that they really played
• 1:07:31
  ball with and then passed on to us I'm saying
• 1:07:35
  it shouldn't be that way because what you do
• 1:07:37
  is take something that should be an easily tradable
• 1:07:40
  commodity that supply easily meets demand and
• 1:07:44
  regulations don't choke to death and that everybody
• 1:07:47
  needs just like water and food and cars and it
• 1:07:51
  makes it into An appreciating asset that only
• 1:07:56
  older folks and wealthier folks can access And
• 1:07:59
  I'm a die -hard capitalist. So it's not a this
• 1:08:01
  isn't a like it's not a class war type thing
• 1:08:04
  I don't view things through that lens where it's
• 1:08:06
  like the oppressed Everyone should live in the
• 1:08:08
  same apartment All concrete 15 story apartment
• 1:08:13
  building should look exactly the same. I'm Paul
• 1:08:15
  Banducci. Nope Yeah, no, that's totally yeah,
• 1:08:18
  totally me totally my take Yeah, the anarcho
• 1:08:22
  capitalist who basically every day says nature
• 1:08:25
  is hierarchical and so is human nature. And we
• 1:08:28
  all fall where we fall based on our efforts,
• 1:08:31
  our efforts, our intellect and our luck and how
• 1:08:33
  we're able to rearrange capital. Because that's
• 1:08:35
  what the market is. The market is how good are
• 1:08:37
  you at arranging capital in a profitable way?
• 1:08:39
  That's what that is. And capital can look like
• 1:08:41
  anything, labor, time, money, finances, support,
• 1:08:44
  networks, raw material, IP, whatever you name
• 1:08:47
  it. So, yeah, the issue isn't like Oh, you're
• 1:08:51
  so terrible for owning a house. It's, hey, as
• 1:08:54
  a culture and as a society, we really fucked
• 1:08:56
  this up. And it shouldn't be that way. And it's
• 1:08:59
  a combination of fiscal policy, monetary policy,
• 1:09:02
  bad, bad cultural mentality that has all contributed
• 1:09:06
  to the fact that, you know, my kids can't afford
• 1:09:09
  to live here unless I help them a lot, which
• 1:09:12
  we plan to do. Housing should be a commodity,
• 1:09:17
  a comrade. We should view housing as a commodity.
• 1:09:24
  I'm not like, but you can't force you. I'm not
• 1:09:26
  saying we force it. I'm just saying it's a mentality.
• 1:09:30
  But if it's this easy, man, in a free market,
• 1:09:33
  housing would be more of a commodity. If if we
• 1:09:40
  deregulated, I'm advocating for free markets.
• 1:09:45
  Fuck you. The way we go to the grocery store
• 1:09:55
  and buy a loaf of bread, the way we buy a car
• 1:09:57
  is the same way we would buy a house if housing
• 1:10:01
  was a true free market where builders could fucking
• 1:10:04
  build, property owners could let developers develop,
• 1:10:07
  do their thing. Like if we had actual property
• 1:10:09
  rights, it wasn't regulated into the damn dirt,
• 1:10:13
  pun not intended. And if a quarter of the cost
• 1:10:17
  of a new build wasn't bureaucracy, then we'd
• 1:10:20
  be there already. We just need a free market.
• 1:10:25
  OK, one more question before we move on here
• 1:10:27
  before I know we're belaboring it, but I have
• 1:10:29
  to know. Yeah, like this went way off the. Yeah,
• 1:10:32
  it did. Let me let me ask this. Yeah, maybe it
• 1:10:36
  is a higher percentage of adult Americans realtors
• 1:10:41
  now than used to be through history. Duh. Checking
• 1:10:48
  that now. Yes, broadly, the share of adult Americans
• 1:10:55
  working as real estate agents did rise quite
• 1:10:59
  a bit compared with earlier decades. Okay, there
• 1:11:03
  you go. So that assertion seems to have teeth.
• 1:11:06
  And you can, I mean, anecdotally, you can sort
• 1:11:08
  of just come to that conclusion. All right. Okay,
• 1:11:13
  how about this? In 1970, there were 91 ,000 realtors,
• 1:11:17
  plus or minus a couple hundred. In 2020, there
• 1:11:19
  are 1 .4 million realtors. And that doesn't count
• 1:11:24
  mortgage brokers. That doesn't count title loan
• 1:11:28
  officers and all of their staff, the mortgage
• 1:11:30
  broker companies and their staffs, the title
• 1:11:33
  companies and their staffs. It doesn't count
• 1:11:36
  the banking industry and the arm of the bankers.
• 1:11:40
  that originate the loans, then repackage the
• 1:11:43
  loans, then sell the loans. That doesn't count
• 1:11:44
  the army of federal and state regulators who
• 1:11:47
  regulate all of this bullshit. By the time it's
• 1:11:51
  all said and done, I guarantee you that number
• 1:11:52
  is quintuple. It's five to seven million, bare
• 1:11:57
  minimum, who are connected directly to the real
• 1:12:01
  estate industry. And most of them offer nothing
• 1:12:05
  of actual value. We like the fact that all of
• 1:12:08
  this is here for people to just buy and sell
• 1:12:10
  their home. It's a trap. That's the tragedy.
• 1:12:14
  That's a tragedy. And everybody takes their piece
• 1:12:16
  to a couple of percentage points here, a couple
• 1:12:18
  of percentage points there, a couple of thousand
• 1:12:20
  and fees here, a couple of thousand of fees there.
• 1:12:22
  And most of them actually bring no no fucking
• 1:12:24
  value to the transaction. It's all under the
• 1:12:28
  guise of consumer protection and making sure
• 1:12:30
  everybody's ass is covered. And then at the end
• 1:12:32
  of the day, if you got to turn around and sue
• 1:12:34
  somebody, you can't. It's damn near impossible,
• 1:12:37
  believe me, believe me. As somebody who's had
• 1:12:41
  to rip apart their house for mold, the bank says,
• 1:12:43
  not our problem. The title company says, not
• 1:12:45
  our problem. The insurance company says, not
• 1:12:47
  our problem. The realtor's gone. The moment the
• 1:12:50
  ink dries and they get their check, it's nobody's
• 1:12:53
  problem. The moment the transaction's finished,
• 1:12:54
  but everybody's involved and takes a massive
• 1:12:56
  piece. By the way, I just looked it up. 2023,
• 1:12:59
  it bumped up to 1 .54 million realtors. It's
• 1:13:05
  a contrived industry that shouldn't exist or
• 1:13:07
  should exist at about 10 % of its size now, its
• 1:13:12
  current size. But man, it's so big, it devours
• 1:13:15
  everything. Unless you are running a cigar lounge,
• 1:13:21
  you know, what good are you? You work for the
• 1:13:24
  government or your realtor, is that it? It does
• 1:13:28
  cover a wide swath of people. Hey, I never said
• 1:13:31
  most people were useful or intelligent. I just
• 1:13:34
  said they deserve to be free. No matter how much
• 1:13:38
  I despise humanity in general or people individually,
• 1:13:42
  I still wholeheartedly believe in their right
• 1:13:44
  to be as free as I want to be. And that's what
• 1:13:47
  separates me from them. We're not the same. We
• 1:13:52
  have one executive producer this week. I'm sorry
• 1:13:54
  that it took a million years to get to it. Yeah,
• 1:13:57
  it's Scott's fault. He did this to us. There
• 1:13:59
  is unfortunately not much to it because it is
• 1:14:02
  another anonymous and their note only says NEIN
• 1:14:08
  NEIN NEIN because it is a shiny schmeckle But
• 1:14:14
  there's so yeah, that's it there other than that.
• 1:14:16
  There's no note to read and there's no name to
• 1:14:18
  read So it's just an anonymous shiny schmeckle.
• 1:14:20
  Thank you very much And thank you anonymous boomer
• 1:14:23
  for the note about the housing commodity versus
• 1:14:25
  asset We appreciate the feedback a lot and if
• 1:14:27
  you would like to become an executive producer
• 1:14:29
  of no ID this week is episode number 38 if you'd
• 1:14:34
  like to become an executive producer of episode
• 1:14:36
  39 or any subsequent episode, please go to no
• 1:14:39
  ID show calm and Help us out with the value for
• 1:14:42
  value model by returning value if you please.
• 1:14:45
  And with that said, we have a lightning round
• 1:14:47
  coming up. The question is, the value that people
• 1:14:49
  are bringing us, Scott, are they assets? Are
• 1:14:52
  they liabilities? Are they capital? Look, they're
• 1:14:56
  kind of sorta assets and commodities at the same
• 1:14:58
  time. And technically a depreciating asset at
• 1:15:03
  that, because as we just sit on the currency
• 1:15:05
  and our cute little bank account, I know just
• 1:15:07
  gets more and more worthless every month. Scott,
• 1:15:10
  we should probably spend some of it at some point
• 1:15:12
  on something. You're right. Damn. I need another
• 1:15:16
  one of these phone windscreen covers that go
• 1:15:19
  over the top of the microphone. Let me bring
• 1:15:21
  a wheelbarrow full of cash down to my local.
• 1:15:25
  Is there even yours has bite marks in it because
• 1:15:27
  you ran out of bread. Uh, okay. Uh, do you want
• 1:15:33
  to... I'll give myself a bell for the triple
• 1:15:34
  entendre there. The song. Would you like to insert
• 1:15:37
  it later so we can just move on here? Oh, I got
• 1:15:39
  it. No, we're good. You got it. All right. Yeah.
• 1:15:42
  Yep. Go. Fly me to the moon. Let me play among
• 1:15:53
  the stars. Let me see what spring is like on...
• 1:16:00
  Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand.
• 1:16:11
  In other words, baby, kiss me. Fill my heart
• 1:16:21
  with song and let me sing forevermore. for all
• 1:16:31
  I worship and adore. In other words, please be
• 1:16:40
  true. In other words. You sing Conversation day
• 1:18:09
  made that one easy. Uh, I also realize I was
• 1:18:13
  all out of sorts earlier. I forgot to do this.
• 1:18:15
  I'll take you down there for 25. 25 Schmeckles.
• 1:18:20
  I don't know how much. I don't know what that
• 1:18:21
  is. Is that a lot? Is it a little and I got this
• 1:18:26
  for you. Ah, you know what time it is, Scott?
• 1:18:29
  It's been a little while and I apologize. I make
• 1:18:32
  up for it though. I know, but I gave you plenty
• 1:18:35
  of time to heal up from the last bruising I gave
• 1:18:37
  you. Yeah, don't be like me don't pitch a nerve
• 1:18:55
  in your back like I did on Saturday Okay So it's
• 1:19:00
  a multi -parter. Mm -hmm. I know how much you
• 1:19:03
  love those and I'm gonna start with a question
• 1:19:06
  Scott There is a movement going around a and
• 1:19:13
  no not not what you're thinking not a bowel movement
• 1:19:15
  a fashion movement That is specific oh Man all
• 1:19:24
  right sorry that What do you eight years old?
• 1:19:29
  At least I'm not the one who applied for that
• 1:19:30
  vanity plate I'd be farting And I mean it could
• 1:19:34
  yeah, it could always be worse. There is a fashion
• 1:19:37
  movement that is cropping up to fight, block
• 1:19:42
  cameras and other facial recognition technology.
• 1:19:46
  The farther along we get down this dystopian
• 1:19:49
  simulation, the more surveilled of a population
• 1:19:52
  we become. In fact, in the UK in particular,
• 1:19:56
  so the first world of course, we're the worst
• 1:19:58
  about it because nothing says freedom like surveillance
• 1:20:01
  everywhere. In the UK, there are 1 .2 million
• 1:20:05
  cameras in London alone. And that's that is slowly
• 1:20:11
  trickling over to us as we already are seeing,
• 1:20:13
  for instance, the city of Caldwell, Idaho, to
• 1:20:15
  bring it back towards Idaho, is in an uproar
• 1:20:18
  right now. Specifically, a few concerned citizens
• 1:20:20
  are in an uproar and pressuring the city council
• 1:20:22
  and the local PD to cancel the flock contract
• 1:20:26
  that they've got in the city in the city of Caldwell,
• 1:20:28
  Idaho. So anybody who thinks it'll never happen
• 1:20:31
  here. Whoops, it's already here, but there is
• 1:20:36
  a fashion trend. Growing already which is designed
• 1:20:40
  where you can wear different things designed
• 1:20:43
  to counteract facial recognition things like
• 1:20:49
  different clothing patterns this Some really
• 1:20:53
  sometimes it's basic stuff where the quite literally
• 1:20:54
  it's like other people's faces or even or different
• 1:20:57
  license plates on like a Hawaiian style shirt
• 1:21:00
  Sometimes it's a lot more High tech like infrared
• 1:21:03
  lights that are embedded into the jacket or the
• 1:21:07
  hoodie that you might wear that cause issues
• 1:21:09
  there's specific camo like they call it AI camo
• 1:21:15
  patterns that actually embed in the textile adversarial
• 1:21:20
  algorithms that disrupt facial recognition software
• 1:21:24
  and so on and so forth now to get a little more
• 1:21:28
  for those of us who maybe you know, aren't interested
• 1:21:31
  in wearing license plates on a Hawaiian shirt
• 1:21:33
  or maybe getting some of the other fancy stuff.
• 1:21:36
  There's always the good old fashioned thing of,
• 1:21:38
  you know, hats, scarves, sunglasses. Oh, also
• 1:21:42
  speaking of sunglasses, there's a company called
• 1:21:45
  Sunfe Optical that sells sunglasses with reflective
• 1:21:50
  coatings. So it conceals your eyes, facial recognition,
• 1:21:53
  which the eyes is really important. That's like
• 1:21:55
  the central point from which facial recognition
• 1:21:57
  algorithms work. That's a big lead -up into the
• 1:22:01
  question. You and I are both obviously anti -maskers.
• 1:22:04
  Well, not anti -maskers, but we're pro -choice
• 1:22:07
  on the mask situation. If you want to wear one,
• 1:22:09
  you can. At this point, if you are, we're going
• 1:22:12
  to mock you mercilessly because you deserve it.
• 1:22:16
  But how do you feel about masks when it comes
• 1:22:22
  to surveillance, Scott? Wearing a mask. So what
• 1:22:27
  is this softball? How do I feel? You're like
• 1:22:31
  the chick questioning Lauren McClain. I'm starting
• 1:22:35
  soft. I told you it was a multi -parter. Oh,
• 1:22:38
  yeah. All right. How do I? I how do I feel about
• 1:22:43
  it with with regard to not being surveilled by
• 1:22:47
  cameras? Like like, you know, are you asking
• 1:22:49
  me what would I wear a mask to support a camera?
• 1:22:52
  Yeah. Anti -mask for COVID bullshit, but pro
• 1:22:56
  -mask for thwarting surveillance. I think it's
• 1:23:00
  an obvious answer, but I wanted to start with
• 1:23:02
  this. I wouldn't be for it, no. Hiding your face
• 1:23:05
  in public is the most anti -social dystopian
• 1:23:08
  bullshit I can possibly imagine, in all contexts.
• 1:23:12
  Even to fight against surveillance? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:23:17
  I just yeah, like if you're if you're so in other
• 1:23:19
  words, so what does that mean? Like if you're
• 1:23:21
  going to adopt that as this is my tactic to fight
• 1:23:24
  surveillance, then I'm forever hiding my face
• 1:23:26
  every time I leave my house, or even in my house.
• 1:23:29
  I like what's what is what is the long term play?
• 1:23:32
  Well, I don't know. I don't know if there I don't
• 1:23:34
  know if there is a better long term play. I don't
• 1:23:37
  know. That's Yeah, that's I mean, we're now thinking
• 1:23:40
  about we're now in a society where people are
• 1:23:43
  everyone well once again this already happened
• 1:23:45
  but if that became a permanent state of things
• 1:23:47
  like it was for a long time where like almost
• 1:23:50
  everybody was had their face hidden in public
• 1:23:52
  that's that's a it's a literal it's it's a dystopia
• 1:23:55
  in such an absurd fashion as to be not even worthy
• 1:23:58
  of dystopian science fiction Yeah, but in a twist
• 1:24:03
  of irony, the thing that they forced us to do
• 1:24:05
  for COVID might be one of the most easy and obvious
• 1:24:09
  weapons against further surveillance, at least
• 1:24:11
  as far as facial recognitions go. So I just think
• 1:24:14
  it's interesting. And you didn't answer quite
• 1:24:18
  the way I expected, so the plot continues to
• 1:24:20
  thicken. See, this is why this was a good intro
• 1:24:23
  and a good question. You say no. At what point
• 1:24:27
  is it even worth it? Like, what are we living
• 1:24:31
  for? Like to live in such a dystopian, anti -social
• 1:24:35
  hellscape where all of the robot citizens have
• 1:24:40
  no faces? Give me a freaking break. What kind
• 1:24:43
  of reality is that? I don't even want to be a
• 1:24:45
  part of it. Well, it's a reality that exists
• 1:24:47
  in certain places right now. Just ask the Brits.
• 1:24:50
  Yeah. You know, and for all of the chest -thumping
• 1:24:54
  that Americans like to do, oh, it'll never happen
• 1:24:57
  here. Oh, my freedom. Oh, I've got more guns
• 1:24:59
  than them. well look at all the stuff we've let
• 1:25:01
  slide so far that's where we are right now so
• 1:25:05
  this is a real possibility for the future and
• 1:25:07
  you say it's absurd i agree it is absurd but
• 1:25:09
  it's also a real possibility in our lifetimes
• 1:25:13
  absolutely in our lifetimes so it's a question
• 1:25:15
  worth asking you know how many you cut down one
• 1:25:18
  flock camera in minecraft obviously for legal
• 1:25:21
  reasons these are jokes uh how many more spring
• 1:25:24
  up You know, or how how hard do they start prosecuting
• 1:25:27
  people eventually for it or make public examples
• 1:25:30
  of people for it? Yeah, next thing, you know,
• 1:25:31
  we're 20 years in and it's like, well, guess
• 1:25:34
  I'm wearing a baseball cap, reflective sunglasses
• 1:25:37
  and a scarf or a mask. I guess this ties into
• 1:25:42
  my other question. Now, you keep simmering on
• 1:25:45
  that. If you got more to say, I want to hear
• 1:25:46
  it because you did surprise me, actually. I think
• 1:25:49
  I think ultimately what matters, though, isn't
• 1:25:51
  isn't how you and I want it to be. or how absurd
• 1:25:54
  we think it is, it's the fact that it may very
• 1:25:57
  well be coming. Yeah, and that's cool. I guess
• 1:25:59
  I'm thinking about it. It's like there's just
• 1:26:01
  no like if I can't have even the most basic human
• 1:26:06
  level of freedom as to like not have to hide
• 1:26:09
  my face, which is you are your face. Everything
• 1:26:13
  else about you is unrecognizable out of context,
• 1:26:15
  except your face. Then I don't like I'm just
• 1:26:19
  that's that's just a level of not free, even
• 1:26:21
  though that obviously not free already. That
• 1:26:25
  would be a level of not free as like I'm just
• 1:26:27
  I'm checking out at that point. Where do you
• 1:26:31
  go? Where do we run to? Nowhere. I'm not running
• 1:26:34
  nowhere. I'm not hiding my face. You got to hold
• 1:26:36
  me down. I like it. Interesting. Well, I don't
• 1:26:41
  like it. I don't like the topic. I like how interesting
• 1:26:44
  it is. The whole premise and like even that this
• 1:26:46
  is a discussion is absolutely insane. Imagine
• 1:26:48
  having this discussion with someone even just
• 1:26:51
  10 years ago. I mean, the notion was so foreign.
• 1:26:54
  Oh, 100 % actually, which is the perfect segue
• 1:26:57
  to my follow up. Imagine if this technology,
• 1:27:03
  we're only six years outside of COVID, but really
• 1:27:05
  we're like four years outside of COVID. most
• 1:27:08
  places ended in 2020 quote unquote ended in 2022.
• 1:27:12
  Thank God, right? That we didn't have the flock
• 1:27:14
  cameras just four years ago during the COVID
• 1:27:18
  shutdowns. But what we did have were whistleblower
• 1:27:23
  portals and COVID -19 snitch hotlines, hundreds
• 1:27:29
  of them, even in just America alone. Now I tried
• 1:27:31
  to actually pull, I spent an hour trying to like,
• 1:27:35
  It's amazing how the internet has been scrubbed,
• 1:27:37
  Scott. There's so much that's just not out there
• 1:27:40
  anymore, or you have to really, really dig to
• 1:27:42
  get to it. I tried to find the total number of
• 1:27:45
  hotlines across just the US, and it couldn't
• 1:27:49
  give it to me. Not the full number. It kept breaking
• 1:27:51
  it down into different ways that weren't very
• 1:27:53
  helpful. So finally, I gave up and I said, okay,
• 1:27:55
  how many states had state -created hotlines?
• 1:28:04
  So... How many states, Scott? Yeah, yeah. How
• 1:28:06
  many states have secreted hotlines? I'm trying
• 1:28:10
  to think of if there would be an exception. It's
• 1:28:13
  got to be 50. Surprisingly, really, it was only
• 1:28:19
  eight. Only. Oh, so the vast majority did not.
• 1:28:25
  Really not. But don't you worry. The counties
• 1:28:28
  and the towns made up for it. I see. Yeah. Municipal
• 1:28:33
  hotlines. They were all over the place. In fact,
• 1:28:35
  this is really going to bake your noodle up.
• 1:28:38
  So eight states. See if you can name a couple.
• 1:28:41
  Give me like two or three. California, Oregon,
• 1:28:45
  Washington. I did this last time and I was wrong,
• 1:28:49
  but Massachusetts. New York, New York. I'll stop
• 1:28:54
  you there at four. Five. OK, I'll stop you there.
• 1:28:57
  You're you're 40 percent correct. California,
• 1:29:01
  not on the list. New York, not on the list. Oregon,
• 1:29:06
  also not on the list, but Washington and Massachusetts
• 1:29:08
  on the list, yeah. And the reason why, because
• 1:29:11
  I thought the same thing. I thought where, and
• 1:29:13
  I went looking, where's New York? Where's California?
• 1:29:15
  There is no way that these places did not, well,
• 1:29:18
  they didn't have to. That's why. Because New
• 1:29:21
  York, California, Oregon, the counties and the
• 1:29:24
  cities did the work for them. Okay. So the list
• 1:29:27
  of eight is Washington, Kentucky, of all places,
• 1:29:32
  Massachusetts, Minnesota, Minnesota, New Jersey,
• 1:29:39
  Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland. Those are your
• 1:29:43
  states that had a statewide hotline. Now places
• 1:29:47
  like New York, California, et cetera, et cetera,
• 1:29:49
  they didn't need it because the counties and
• 1:29:51
  cities did the dirty work for them. So once I
• 1:29:54
  figured that out, because I was like, what the
• 1:29:55
  heck? How is this possible that these states
• 1:29:58
  aren't on the list? Then I entered, it was like,
• 1:30:01
  how many hotlines were in California? In the
• 1:30:05
  thousands. In the thousands. And the biggest
• 1:30:09
  one was LA, where they actually set up a rewards
• 1:30:15
  system for snitching on your neighbor. That was
• 1:30:20
  the highest profile one. But in a city of 10,
• 1:30:24
  12 million people, six times the size of Idaho.
• 1:30:26
  They set up a rewards -based COVID -19 snitch
• 1:30:30
  system. Anyways, LA led the charge on that, but
• 1:30:34
  that's why I can't get better numbers than that,
• 1:30:37
  because there were so many. For context though,
• 1:30:41
  in the state of Massachusetts, from March to
• 1:30:46
  October of 2020, this is just in the state of
• 1:30:49
  Massachusetts, over 200, Thousands niche calls
• 1:30:52
  were made. Boy, you really got to be proud of
• 1:30:56
  yourself. I thought that was participated in
• 1:30:57
  that. Yes. Yes. Hi. Yes. Hi. I wanted to tell
• 1:31:02
  you that I was standing by my window, twitching
• 1:31:04
  my curtains, waiting for somebody to do something.
• 1:31:07
  And I saw a woman who had her mask down below
• 1:31:11
  her nose walking alone on the sidewalk. I just
• 1:31:14
  thought you should know. Things you can't make
• 1:31:19
  up. And if you think that red states like Idaho
• 1:31:21
  were immune from this, think again. In our very
• 1:31:26
  own backyard, just up in Rathrum was a high profile
• 1:31:28
  case about a young, youngish couple, early thirties,
• 1:31:31
  I think, who had to have a garage sale because
• 1:31:33
  the guys husband's dad died and left, you know,
• 1:31:38
  and boomered them real good and hard with a bunch
• 1:31:40
  of just stuff. And they had nowhere to put it.
• 1:31:44
  They couldn't afford storage. So it was like,
• 1:31:46
  we kind of, we got a yard sale this shit. So
• 1:31:48
  they, They did it and they tried to space everything
• 1:31:51
  out and they hold on to their close neighbors.
• 1:31:54
  Anonymous Boomer just texted me and said, hey,
• 1:31:56
  man, boomers didn't invent hoarding. No, definitely
• 1:32:02
  not. No, they just, as with many things, took
• 1:32:04
  it to just a whole new level for sure. So, yeah,
• 1:32:08
  even in our own backyard. You you try to sell
• 1:32:11
  your old kids clothes that they've outgrown,
• 1:32:14
  believe it or not, jail. Believe it or not, jail.
• 1:32:19
  What a pride generating time you got everyone
• 1:32:22
  should be just so proud of themselves Yep, you
• 1:32:26
  totally believed reasonable things and acted
• 1:32:28
  like reasonable people a lot of you Yeah, yeah
• 1:32:34
  you and I just we didn't care we just wanted
• 1:32:37
  it really it was because we hated America and
• 1:32:39
  we wanted grandma to die It's the same reason
• 1:32:41
  why we're against the budget now and why we're
• 1:32:44
  for budget cuts. It's the same thing We just
• 1:32:46
  want people to die I mean these cuts are killing
• 1:32:50
  people. Literally. Never gets old. All right.
• 1:32:54
  Rapid fire. What you got early. All right. Second
• 1:32:56
  half of show. We'll do a lightning round here
• 1:32:58
  because I have to have a show. We got to literally
• 1:33:01
  one of the clips in that first segment. So let's
• 1:33:04
  do we did the tea time. Here is a oh, hey, good
• 1:33:07
  news for, you know, my education lottery will
• 1:33:11
  return the largest chunk of money in its thirty
• 1:33:13
  seven year history to the people of Idaho. Today,
• 1:33:16
  on behalf of Idahoans, Governor Brad little accepted
• 1:33:19
  the record setting dividend check of 90 mil.
• 1:33:22
  million dollars, yes, from the Iowa State Lottery
• 1:33:25
  Commission. This year's return 15 million more
• 1:33:28
  than last year's. As always, it benefits Idaho
• 1:33:31
  public schools and buildings. Oh, thank God.
• 1:33:36
  OK, so there you go. The lottery is a wonderful
• 1:33:39
  mechanism by which the state promotes my education.
• 1:33:43
  And that's all there is to see here. And I'm
• 1:33:45
  going to say the story through a beaming smile.
• 1:33:47
  And we'll be right back after these messages
• 1:33:48
  from Pfizer. That's from KTVB. Let me just sum
• 1:33:52
  that one up real quick. Degenerate, oh man, I'll
• 1:33:55
  tell you what, scratch tickets and lotto tickets
• 1:33:57
  primarily sold to degenerates and people who
• 1:34:00
  are, not that being poor makes you degenerate,
• 1:34:02
  but degenerates and people typically of the lower
• 1:34:05
  economic echelons. So they're being preyed upon
• 1:34:08
  by the state who makes anything else illegal.
• 1:34:12
  Can't play poker in your home, but you can play
• 1:34:14
  that scratch ticket. and then they take that
• 1:34:16
  money and put it into failing public school system
• 1:34:19
  that complains about not having enough money,
• 1:34:21
  but 90 million more, there you go. Yeah, it's
• 1:34:25
  great. There's like all the all the argumentation
• 1:34:27
  like, you know in circa 1986 1987 when they were
• 1:34:31
  implementing the the Ottawa State Lottery when
• 1:34:33
  they were like see what it'll do is it'll help
• 1:34:35
  us fund education and then it'll just make up
• 1:34:37
  for these You know help make up for these giant
• 1:34:39
  budget shortfalls in education and then you fast
• 1:34:42
  forward to now and it's never stopped being budget
• 1:34:45
  shortfalls in education $90 million, Scott. Yeah.
• 1:34:50
  So what a time to be alive. Poker is illegal.
• 1:34:52
  Scratch tickets are sanctioned by the state.
• 1:34:54
  Uh, they siphon off a bunch of the money, give
• 1:34:56
  it to a failing school system. And even at 90
• 1:35:00
  million, it's not enough. Yeah. What a time to
• 1:35:03
  be alive. I want off the simulation. If you ask
• 1:35:06
  what would be enough? Oh, that's hilarious. Nobody
• 1:35:08
  ever asks that. Here is NPR. And speaking of
• 1:35:12
  money and needing money, this is the pre -roll
• 1:35:14
  that NPR is running before all of their programming
• 1:35:17
  right now. This is Idaho's NPR. I think that
• 1:35:20
  they are... running different versions of this
• 1:35:22
  on, depending on the NPR affiliate, but here's
• 1:35:24
  Idaho's version. When Congress defunded public
• 1:35:27
  media, thousands of you stepped up, increasing
• 1:35:29
  your monthly gift to help us survive year one
• 1:35:32
  without federal funding. We made it, but that
• 1:35:35
  loss isn't going away. So if you haven't increased
• 1:35:38
  your monthly contribution yet, now's the time.
• 1:35:41
  And if you're not a sustaining owner, join us.
• 1:35:43
  A monthly gift to Boise State Public Radio gives
• 1:35:46
  us the steady, reliable support we need for year
• 1:35:49
  two and B. Don't even bother looking into what
• 1:35:57
  a tiny percentage of the actual budget, the federal
• 1:36:00
  part of it was. It's something like four out
• 1:36:03
  of five dollars. This has nothing to do with.
• 1:36:05
  So the vast majority of the dollars haven't been
• 1:36:07
  touched. And of course, if you ask, oh, well,
• 1:36:10
  if you if you raise this like what would be enough
• 1:36:12
  to keep it to sustaining and thriving NPR, which
• 1:36:14
  is a government funded news gathering, which
• 1:36:17
  we and then we wonder why it's pro -government.
• 1:36:19
  no answer because that question is never asked.
• 1:36:23
  Sponsored by the state. Uh, my favorite part
• 1:36:26
  of that was not even, it wasn't even like, there
• 1:36:30
  was almost no thank you in there at all. And
• 1:36:32
  not only was there no thank you, but instead
• 1:36:34
  of, and instead of saying like, Hey, thanks for
• 1:36:36
  your donation of whatever, uh, in year one, boy,
• 1:36:39
  we sure would be appreciative if you, if you
• 1:36:41
  did that again in year two, no, it was, Hey,
• 1:36:45
  cool for the money in year one, you know, it
• 1:36:48
  would be great. is if you doubled that for year
• 1:36:52
  two, if you gave more than you did in year one.
• 1:36:55
  We need this money. It's not even a like, hey,
• 1:36:57
  could you do it again? It was, hey, could you
• 1:36:59
  do it again, but more. I need money. At least
• 1:37:18
  Mr. Krabs had the decency to be grateful for
• 1:37:20
  a few pennies even. Here is another NPR report
• 1:37:24
  about the poser posing as a lady. A North Idaho
• 1:37:29
  drag performer is dropping his defamation lawsuit
• 1:37:31
  against a Christian lobbying group which said
• 1:37:34
  he exposed his genitals to the public in 2022.
• 1:37:37
  James Dawson reports. Eric Posey who performs
• 1:37:40
  as Mona Lisa Million sued the Idaho Family Policy
• 1:37:43
  Center two years ago saying the group repeatedly
• 1:37:46
  almost a show title, saying the group repeatedly
• 1:37:49
  said he exposed his genitals in front of a Coeur
• 1:37:52
  d 'Alene crowd that included children. Local
• 1:37:54
  prosecutors declined to charge Posey after viewing
• 1:37:57
  raw footage of the performance, saying there
• 1:37:59
  was a raw footage performance, saying there was
• 1:38:02
  no evidence of a crime. Last year, a judge partially
• 1:38:05
  sided with the performer by ruling the center
• 1:38:08
  couldn't couch their statements as opinions,
• 1:38:10
  which are protected by law. But the two sides
• 1:38:13
  agreed to dismiss the case in February before
• 1:38:16
  a six -day trial was scheduled in April. Neither
• 1:38:19
  side immediately responded to a request for comment,
• 1:38:22
  and no details of a potential settlement were
• 1:38:24
  outlined in court documents. Posey successfully
• 1:38:27
  sued Far -Ripe Far -Ripe Far -Ripe blogger Summer
• 1:38:30
  Bushnell for making similar comments and posting
• 1:38:33
  a doctored video with his crotch blurred. She's
• 1:38:36
  yet to voluntarily pay any of the $1 .1 million
• 1:38:39
  a jury awarded him two years ago. So that's what
• 1:38:42
  you get when you have a government -funded media.
• 1:38:44
  You have them labeling, you're doing editorializing
• 1:38:48
  to demonize an entire, whatever it imagines to
• 1:38:51
  be a group of people. You could just say a blogger,
• 1:38:53
  but instead you decide to call her a far -right
• 1:38:56
  blogger, whatever the hell that means. Far -right
• 1:38:58
  blogger. Never mind that the Posey is a far -left
• 1:39:01
  drag queen. Far -left commie, pinko, drag performer,
• 1:39:06
  Mona Lisa Million. Okay, so interesting too that
• 1:39:11
  these people are so against raw milk, but they're
• 1:39:13
  so into raw footage Raw milk think of it as raw
• 1:39:19
  sewage Let's do one more before we call it a
• 1:39:24
  show since we're over time But I feel like the
• 1:39:26
  second half was the more like the second eighth
• 1:39:29
  And speaking of an eighth, let's talk about marijuana.
• 1:39:32
  Folks in Idaho will not see medical marijuana
• 1:39:34
  on the ballot coming up in November. The secretary
• 1:39:37
  of state says the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act
• 1:39:39
  did not get enough valid signatures. However,
• 1:39:42
  voters will decide on House Joint Resolution
• 1:39:44
  4, which would amend the state constitution to
• 1:39:46
  take the power to legalize marijuana, narcotics
• 1:39:49
  and other psychoactive substances out of the
• 1:39:52
  hands of voters. Here is more to that story.
• 1:39:54
  Right now, there are two ways to pass a law in
• 1:39:57
  Idaho. The traditional way, when the legislature
• 1:39:59
  passes a bill and the governor signs it into
• 1:40:01
  law. And the less common ballot initiative, which
• 1:40:04
  allows Idaho voters to pass a law. This new resolution
• 1:40:07
  would take that second option away from voters
• 1:40:09
  for initiatives that would change laws around
• 1:40:11
  drugs like marijuana and narcotics, meaning only
• 1:40:14
  the legislature would have the power to, for
• 1:40:16
  example, legalize marijuana in the state of Idaho.
• 1:40:19
  Look, you kind of sort of won't make the right
• 1:40:22
  decision, so we have to do it for you. Meaning
• 1:40:24
  only the legislature would have the power to,
• 1:40:26
  for example, legalize marijuana in the state
• 1:40:29
  of Idaho. Idaho is one of 24 states that has
• 1:40:32
  that ballot initiative process. Right now, seven
• 1:40:35
  of them have restrictions like this that prevent
• 1:40:37
  voters from changing laws around certain topics,
• 1:40:39
  but none of them relate to drugs. Meaning if
• 1:40:42
  Idaho passes this resolution, it would become
• 1:40:44
  the only state in the country that would bar
• 1:40:46
  voters from changing laws around drugs like marijuana
• 1:40:49
  through a ballot initiative. Lawmakers behind
• 1:40:52
  the resolution say legalizing marijuana would
• 1:40:54
  be in direct conflict with the state constitution's
• 1:40:57
  clause on purity and morality, while the natural
• 1:40:59
  medicine... A clause that shouldn't exist. Purity.
• 1:41:03
  Think about that word. Yeah, purity and morality.
• 1:41:06
  Purity. Yeah. We demand that you be pure, populace.
• 1:41:11
  Well, what does that mean? And isn't that not
• 1:41:13
  available on this plane anyway? If you poke around
• 1:41:17
  the Idaho constitution... It's super duper preachy
• 1:41:20
  and super duper paternalistic. It's actually
• 1:41:23
  pretty scary. It's pretty scary shit. When it
• 1:41:25
  first came to be a hundred years ago, it should
• 1:41:29
  have caused concern even then. But one of the
• 1:41:32
  reasons why I think it didn't is because it was
• 1:41:35
  Mormons who mostly, mostly Mormons who put it
• 1:41:37
  together. It was a South Idaho thing and North
• 1:41:39
  Idaho at the time, you know, you doubt again,
• 1:41:42
  dabbling in Idaho history, North Idaho and South
• 1:41:45
  Idaho have always basically been two states and
• 1:41:47
  North Idaho at that time didn't like people here
• 1:41:51
  up here didn't really see themselves as part
• 1:41:53
  of whatever was going on down there. They didn't
• 1:41:56
  really see themselves as the same state. I mean,
• 1:41:58
  yeah, sure. The boundaries were there, but nobody
• 1:41:59
  really operated like we were all Idahoans. We
• 1:42:03
  still don't to a degree. So. North Idaho hadn't
• 1:42:07
  like nothing to say about this Constitution,
• 1:42:09
  but it's got it's got Mormon fingerprints all
• 1:42:11
  over it It's paternalistic preachy and controlling.
• 1:42:14
  I love the part where What a time to be alive
• 1:42:17
  again where here we are in the state of Idaho
• 1:42:19
  where people talk about my freedoms and man do
• 1:42:23
  they just Pound their beat their chests dump
• 1:42:25
  their hearts about my freedom, but God forbid
• 1:42:28
  we have the freedom to own or indulge in a plant
• 1:42:32
  something that quite literally grows out of the
• 1:42:34
  ground and it happens in nature. To turn beer
• 1:42:40
  into beer or turn something into alcohol, it
• 1:42:43
  requires human intervention. Weed just grows,
• 1:42:47
  but we've outlawed it. And also, they're going
• 1:42:50
  to take it a step further, of course, and we're
• 1:42:53
  going to try to take away Idaho citizens' rights
• 1:42:56
  to vote on legalizing it. Hello, peasants! which
• 1:43:01
  is such an elitist thing to do. And just because
• 1:43:06
  we're here and why not, salt in the wound, the
• 1:43:08
  thing that did make the ballot, do you know what
• 1:43:10
  made the ballot, Scott, for November? The Abortion
• 1:43:14
  Initiative, yeah. Yep. They're trying to bring
• 1:43:17
  back abortion in the state of Idaho. So that
• 1:43:18
  got, so slaughtering children garnered enough
• 1:43:22
  support to get on the ballot and you don't see
• 1:43:25
  the legislature scrambling to make it impossible
• 1:43:28
  for citizens to vote on that one. But somehow,
• 1:43:33
  bodily autonomy, actual bodily autonomy, where
• 1:43:35
  you don't murder anybody, you just smoke a plant,
• 1:43:38
  that failed. And the legislature is tripping
• 1:43:40
  over themselves to try to make it impossible
• 1:43:42
  to change that. Look, citizens, you might vote
• 1:43:45
  to make yourselves impure. So what choice have
• 1:43:48
  you left us? Lawmakers behind the resolution
• 1:43:51
  say legalizing marijuana would be in direct conflict
• 1:43:54
  with the state Constitution's clause on purity
• 1:43:56
  and morality while the Natural Medicine Alliance
• 1:43:59
  of Idaho says too many people are prescribed
• 1:44:01
  opioids and legalizing medical marijuana would
• 1:44:04
  provide a safer alternative for people who need
• 1:44:06
  it. The campaign gathering signatures to put
• 1:44:10
  the medical marijuana initiative on the ballot
• 1:44:12
  took a poll of voters back in February. They
• 1:44:14
  say it showed 83 % of likely voters back medical
• 1:44:17
  cannabis legalization, including 74 % of Republicans,
• 1:44:21
  95 % of Democrats, and 92 % of independents.
• 1:44:26
  Unfortunately for all those percentages of voters,
• 1:44:29
  we, the pure leader, leader, leaders, don't care.
• 1:44:34
  I think the issue was They didn't have a lot
• 1:44:38
  of signature collection sites. When I looked
• 1:44:42
  on the map, because I did look it up, the closest
• 1:44:44
  one to us, us being, I guess, me where I live
• 1:44:47
  in North, North Idaho, was one spot in Coeur
• 1:44:50
  d 'Alene. There was it. That was it. There was
• 1:44:53
  one collection point in Coeur d 'Alene, which
• 1:44:55
  blew me away. In Coeur d 'Alene, of all places,
• 1:44:57
  you'd think there'd at least be a couple across
• 1:44:59
  Kootenai County, but no, there was one. And there
• 1:45:01
  was none in Bonner County or Boundary County.
• 1:45:05
  i think across the state there were maybe a dozen
• 1:45:07
  and a half so it's really hard to collect enough
• 1:45:10
  signatures when you don't have a lot of places
• 1:45:14
  set up to collect signatures so i think that's
• 1:45:16
  where they drop the ball if they try again and
• 1:45:18
  they actually get out there to collect signatures
• 1:45:20
  i think they'll get them you know whereas the
• 1:45:22
  abortion the proponents are supporters of child
• 1:45:25
  slaughter they just there's a lot more steam
• 1:45:27
  behind that one so they collect signatures easily
• 1:45:30
  the whole thing is sad boo What a time to be
• 1:45:34
  alive we are welcome to Idaho we're unable to
• 1:45:38
  Vote anything for ourselves and so we can we
• 1:45:41
  can't give the citizens a vote citizens a vote,
• 1:45:45
  please What do you think this is? Oh, and by
• 1:45:47
  the way strongly consider covering your face
• 1:45:49
  in public from here on out on account of we're
• 1:45:53
  surveilling you around the clock This is yes.
• 1:45:57
  Yeah Marijuana. No, no scratch tickets. Yes Poker?
• 1:46:02
  No. You want to get high? Freedom of movement?
• 1:46:05
  No. Flock cameras? Yes. Welcome to Idaho. Freedom.
• 1:46:10
  And this is the free state of Idaho. Freedom.
• 1:46:14
  Yeah. Being able to get home safely without being
• 1:46:17
  stabbed to death on your scooter? No. Political
• 1:46:20
  football? You're insulting Boise PD. You're insulting
• 1:46:24
  Boise PD. This is absolutely ridiculous. Boise
• 1:46:26
  PD. I'm so proud of you. How dare you insult
• 1:46:28
  Boise PD. I will insult any and every cult. Oh,
• 1:46:35
  man. OK, so now you know. Now you know why I
• 1:46:38
  was having a particularly hard time before this.
• 1:46:42
  It's never that fantastic to pull these stupid
• 1:46:44
  clips, but this one, it was a particularly especially
• 1:46:47
  having to go back and edit Mayor McLean. Oh,
• 1:46:51
  my God, like insufferable. You think you think
• 1:46:54
  we're long winded and stupid on this show with
• 1:46:56
  our asset and commodity confusion? We don't hold
• 1:47:00
  a candle to the leader, leader, leaders. I'll
• 1:47:01
  freaking tell you what. Man, it's a clinic. OK.
• 1:47:06
  Well, we're amount of assets that our leader,
• 1:47:09
  leader, leaders squander. They just need the
• 1:47:12
  money, man. I need more money. Give them more
• 1:47:15
  money. There wouldn't be homeless people if you
• 1:47:18
