• 0:19
  and Scott Moskowitz. Hey, everybody. Welcome
• 0:25
  back to No ID, North Idaho's mainstream media
• 0:28
  deconstruction. I'm Scott. Hello, Internet. I'm
• 0:32
  Paul. Happy to be here. How you doing, Scott?
• 0:36
  Well, I am. My head is sort of spinning and my
• 0:39
  face is red. This may be one of the more intense,
• 0:42
  maybe the most intense. This is episode number
• 0:44
  19. Every region has a mainstream apparatus.
• 0:47
  What propagandizes? And that's why we're here
• 0:49
  doing deconstruction of the mainstream presentations.
• 0:52
  I was. man, like I was sort of in Tiltville doing
• 0:56
  the show prep today, especially in the last couple
• 0:59
  hours here before we click the live button. And
• 1:01
  just some of the audio I was pulling, I was because
• 1:03
  of this Statesman editorial that you sent me
• 1:05
  just today. So I went and pulled some extra audio.
• 1:07
  We'll get to it. And but boy, man, like I just
• 1:10
  went I was just in a headphones on deep, dark
• 1:15
  rabbit hole back way back in time to the year
• 1:18
  of our Lord to ought to one. And it was not a
• 1:22
  great time. Every now and then I come across
• 1:24
  an article or a or a happening and I just and
• 1:28
  I just know like Scott's gonna It's gonna give
• 1:30
  Scott an ulcer and I send it off and I smile
• 1:33
  and I go we're gonna have a lot of fun with this
• 1:34
  one and Those ones always I cherish those they
• 1:37
  make me laugh Just because you have a busted
• 1:39
  Achilles tendon and now you're trying to give
• 1:41
  me some sort of major medical malady Hey misery
• 1:46
  loves company man, it sure does brother. I mean,
• 1:50
  when are we ever happy? Certainly not today Speak
• 1:55
  for yourself. The sun is shining and It's beautiful
• 1:59
  up here. I sat you know what? I think I think
• 2:01
  I got some vitamin D today I sat in the sunshine
• 2:03
  for about 30 minutes, and I'll tell you what
• 2:05
  it makes a difference I feel good stepped into
• 2:08
  my it is I got this big boot I have to wear for
• 2:12
  my foot for the next like six to twelve weeks
• 2:15
  it is big and it's heavy and I got a strap in
• 2:18
  and it's pain in the ass to get just right and
• 2:20
  get the pressure on the straps just right. And
• 2:22
  you know, a little too far and I can't, and then
• 2:24
  everything hurts because I cut off circulation
• 2:26
  and that's no good. A little too loose and I'm
• 2:28
  just sliding around and that shit's no good.
• 2:30
  It's a, it's a pain in the ass sleeping with
• 2:32
  it sucks. Uh, and I've got a, a, a wedge, a foam
• 2:35
  wedge in it that is supposed to angle my foot
• 2:38
  at kind of where we want it for now while it
• 2:40
  heals for this stage. Uh, it's all very uncomfortable,
• 2:43
  but necessary anyways today. you know, woke up,
• 2:47
  took my boot off, aired it out a little bit,
• 2:49
  stuck my boot back on and it fit perfect. And
• 2:52
  it was just like, ah, today's going to be a good
• 2:55
  day. Sun is shining and my boot fits. Yay. So
• 2:59
  here we are. I'm happy to be here. I think I
• 3:01
  was missing out that vitamin D. See I had, because
• 3:03
  my monitor is facing, there's like a window behind
• 3:06
  me. So in order to cut the glare while I do the
• 3:08
  show prep, you know, I draw the curtain and Turn
• 3:12
  the sort of overhead can lights on so i've been
• 3:13
  sitting under leds with the shades drawn Deep
• 3:17
  down the rest so I that's I should have gone
• 3:19
  outside man. Go go sniff grass or whatever the
• 3:21
  saying is Yeah, I love it as uh, I don't know
• 3:25
  if millennials coined it I think they might have
• 3:26
  either that or the zaniels coined it. But uh,
• 3:28
  yeah touch grass kid touch There you go. Smell
• 3:31
  the flowers and touch the grass Mm -hmm. Yeah
• 3:34
  What do you got for us today scott? Well, I guess
• 3:37
  we probably since I just brought it up We probably
• 3:39
  should just start with this statesman editorial.
• 3:42
  It's as close as I could get to a Scott's shot
• 3:44
  without giving you an actual Scott shot, which
• 3:46
  by the way, for the record, this should be the
• 3:48
  last episode that we are without a Scott shot.
• 3:51
  Again, I apologize for the, for the drought,
• 3:54
  although you're Jewish. So you should be used
• 3:55
  to things like famine and drought and complaining
• 3:57
  about them. And then God bringing you what you
• 3:59
  need and then complaining anyways. So, you know,
• 4:01
  you should be used to it, but I get my computer
• 4:04
  back hopefully tomorrow night or Thursday morning.
• 4:06
  I hope the power button broke and the battery
• 4:09
  died. And it turns out you need both those things
• 4:11
  to operate your computer. Arguably the single
• 4:14
  most important element on the whole laptop is
• 4:17
  the power button. Everything is downstream of
• 4:19
  the power button. Yeah, it turns out if the power
• 4:22
  button doesn't work, there's not a whole lot
• 4:23
  else you can do. Ma 'am, ma 'am, this is the
• 4:27
  customer service rep. Is your TV plugged in?
• 4:31
  I did try turning it off and turning it back
• 4:34
  on. It did not work. Did you, did you try the,
• 4:39
  the open hand, uh, whack on the side, uh, like
• 4:42
  a few, a few reps on the whack? No, no, I saved
• 4:45
  that kind of abuse for my family, not my tech
• 4:48
  stuff. That stuff's expensive. So family's expensive
• 4:52
  too, dude. You only hurt the ones you love. Okay.
• 4:55
  Let's start with this Idaho Statesman editorial.
• 4:58
  The Idaho Statesman is these, I'm not sure what
• 5:01
  the exact status that they're, but they are the
• 5:03
  self -proclaimed most widely read newspaper in
• 5:05
  Idaho. Could be true as far as I know. This is
• 5:08
  an editorial. Once again, Paul sent this to me
• 5:10
  just a couple hours ago. So I've been deep down
• 5:14
  the pulling vintage. Oh, so many years old vintage
• 5:18
  clips to respond to some of the things that are
• 5:22
  stated in this. So this is Scott McIntosh, who
• 5:24
  is the opinion editor over there at the Idaho
• 5:26
  Statesman. I plugged it into Eleven Labs. So
• 5:30
  this is the editorial as read by a voice from
• 5:32
  Eleven Labs. It's stunning that Idaho's Republican
• 5:35
  legislators who constantly claim that they favor
• 5:37
  small government, don't see Senate Bill 1346
• 5:40
  as an egregious and flagrant demonstration of
• 5:43
  government overreach. The bill would ban pregnant
• 5:45
  women from getting an mRNA vaccine and ban you
• 5:47
  from giving your child an mRNA vaccine, even
• 5:50
  if your doctor recommends it. The Senate Health
• 5:52
  and Welfare Committee voted 5 -4 to send the
• 5:54
  bill to the Senate's 14th Order for amendments.
• 5:56
  I did edit some of it for brevity, so this is
• 6:00
  not the entire article word for word. It doesn't
• 6:03
  actually change any of the sentiment of the article.
• 6:05
  There's no manipulation or anything. I just kind
• 6:07
  of trimmed it for brevity. So let's keep going.
• 6:09
  The bill to the Senate's 14th order for amendments.
• 6:11
  Three Republicans, Mark Harris, Julie Van Orden
• 6:13
  and Camille Blalock, joined Democrat Melissa
• 6:16
  Wintrow in wisely voting against the bill. I
• 6:18
  don't think it's freedom to lie to people and
• 6:20
  to manipulate them to make their choice, said
• 6:22
  Dr. David Pate, former president and CEO at St.
• 6:25
  Luke's Health System. That's not a free choice.
• 6:27
  The free choice is to tell you the truth. Make
• 6:29
  no mistake. Senate Bill 1346 is the state government
• 6:32
  making a medical decision for everyone. A government
• 6:35
  making a medical decision. So once again, who
• 6:37
  was that? Where have we seen that before? Oh,
• 6:39
  well, okay. Who was it quoting? Let me reiterate.
• 6:42
  Said Dr. David Pate, former president and CEO
• 6:45
  at St. Luke's Health System. Former president
• 6:48
  and CEO of a medical industrial complex institution
• 6:51
  who had vaccine mandates in 2021 for all of its
• 6:57
  employees. So he's talking about medical freedom
• 7:00
  and medical decisions being made for you. Meanwhile,
• 7:04
  he was the president and CEO of St. Luke's. And
• 7:07
  St. Luke's Health System will require all staff
• 7:09
  to be vaccinated by October 30th. The band -aid
• 7:12
  comes as doctors continue to see a surge surge
• 7:15
  surge in hospitalizations. Surge! We have large
• 7:18
  numbers of COVID patients. They're younger. They're
• 7:23
  sicker. They're being given PCR tests that are
• 7:29
  phony baloney, because they're in the hospital
• 7:31
  for other reasons, and then we shove a PCR test
• 7:33
  up their nostril, which the inventor of the PCR
• 7:35
  test said you're specifically not supposed to
• 7:37
  do, because you could pick up a moon rock if
• 7:41
  you ran enough cycles on a PCR test. But just
• 7:43
  remember, as we crank you full of fear propaganda,
• 7:46
  public, the kids are young and sick. Okay, I
• 7:51
  know I'm sorry I can hear my voice already getting
• 7:52
  like you wouldn't want them to go from sicker
• 7:54
  to sickest Would you because that's like the
• 7:56
  final level that's like the ultimate boss? Yeah,
• 7:59
  that's the m bison of disease That might be a
• 8:04
  little before your time. Were you a Street Fighter
• 8:05
  2 guy? Yeah, I was actually that was a good reference.
• 8:08
  I didn't catch it, but I was a Street Fighter
• 8:10
  2 guy I did I did play Super Nintendo I am old
• 8:14
  enough to remember remember, but I was more of
• 8:16
  a NBA Jam guy from downtown That was kind of
• 8:19
  my that was my jam Is it the shoes? It's the
• 8:25
  classic. The kids will never know. They'll never
• 8:26
  know what we had. They'll never know what they
• 8:27
  don't have. They will not. It was more than they
• 8:29
  got masks and jabs. We got Nintendo, those poor
• 8:32
  kids. So as I was going back and finding, you
• 8:36
  know, obviously in order to find this stuff,
• 8:38
  it's because we're so, so ubiquitously psychotic
• 8:42
  with their nonsense in this time period that
• 8:44
  there's a billion clips you can go and pull.
• 8:46
  And all you got to do is search the terms and
• 8:48
  8 ,000 things come up. But In the course of going
• 8:51
  back and doing this, of course, I'm hearing,
• 8:53
  I mean, it's easy to forget just how much fear
• 8:58
  propaganda and contradictory and nonsensical
• 9:03
  information. The classic flooding the zone tactic
• 9:06
  of propaganda was being thrown at people from
• 9:09
  every possible angle and every possible like
• 9:12
  officialdom talking head from government to corporations
• 9:16
  to, you know, NGO, you name it, hospitals, systems
• 9:19
  like the guy you just heard. It was, it's, it's,
• 9:23
  it's easy to forget. It was a full blown blitz
• 9:27
  and the saving grace of uh, those in power is
• 9:31
  that people, the vast majority of humans, the
• 9:33
  vast, vast majority have the attention span of
• 9:35
  a guppy and the, and the memory of a lemming
• 9:38
  or, or worse. And that's the saving grace. Most
• 9:41
  people have, have forgotten or just conveniently,
• 9:44
  conveniently blocked it out. I mean, a lot of
• 9:45
  people are good at that too. You know, you suffer
• 9:47
  trauma and then you finally get through it and
• 9:49
  you, and you block it out a defense mechanism
• 9:52
  or a coping mechanism, if you will. And you're
• 9:54
  absolutely right. but it's wild to consider.
• 9:57
  I will never forget, because my business was
• 10:00
  shut down. It was affected. Everything about
• 10:02
  my life was affected. Being triply affected at
• 10:05
  that time, because I was under indictment from
• 10:06
  the state of Idaho for money laundering and racketeering,
• 10:09
  all of which was total false and bullshit. But
• 10:13
  I was a political target, and they really leaned
• 10:15
  on us hard for a long time. And while that was
• 10:18
  going on, Idaho shut down my business, too, and
• 10:21
  deemed me and my employees, both of, uh, uh,
• 10:24
  myself and my, and my manager, uh, Zach Malloy
• 10:27
  and non -essential. I mean, so, you know, I go
• 10:31
  home to my family and we shut down for a few
• 10:34
  weeks and I just went, well, shit, now what do
• 10:36
  I do? What do we do? You know, I've been, I have
• 10:38
  been labeled non -essential, but my kids still
• 10:40
  need to eat. I need to eat. The bank doesn't
• 10:44
  care that I'm quote unquote, non -essential or
• 10:46
  not. The mortgage still has to get paid. You
• 10:48
  know, WTF is a, is a real eye opener. And the
• 10:53
  way people responded, most of whom went along
• 10:55
  with it, that was an eye opener. And then to
• 10:56
  your final point, the blitz that was pushed on
• 11:01
  us from every facet of authority in our lives,
• 11:06
  in lockstep, in unison as one, you have to hand
• 11:09
  it to them though, Scott. I mean, it's an impressive
• 11:12
  level of coordination and propaganda, but now
• 11:15
  we know, and that's nice for those of us who
• 11:17
  don't forget, we know what it looks like. And
• 11:21
  that's why we're here doing this. That's a big
• 11:23
  part of why this podcast exists. Yeah. And the,
• 11:29
  the, the nature of the, of presenting an opinion
• 11:35
  such as this publicly in an editorial and then,
• 11:38
  you know, doing quotes for this editorial that
• 11:41
  are so, that are so ridiculously contradictory
• 11:45
  to that, which you perpetrated just, just five
• 11:49
  minutes ago in the most public way possible.
• 11:53
  It's it's so I mean, I was trying to think of
• 11:55
  the words and it's it's difficult. I mean, it's
• 11:57
  not hypocrisy It's not it's not like manipulative
• 12:00
  liar. Like who who is this guy? I don't think
• 12:04
  it's freedom to lie to people and to manipulate
• 12:06
  them to make their choice. So dr. David Pate
• 12:09
  Okay, so lying to people that's rich you late
• 12:12
  them to make their choice is That this guy that
• 12:16
  is saying that he loves doing that. He specialized
• 12:18
  in it. Okay, so therefore what are we to make?
• 12:22
  of this. Like, okay, yes, I'm presenting this
• 12:24
  to the public because I know the public has the
• 12:26
  memory of a guppy and so they'll never remember
• 12:28
  what I did. I, it's hard to wrap your, like,
• 12:33
  it's so far beyond hypocrisy. I mean, this is,
• 12:36
  this is such, it's fork -tongued and demonic.
• 12:40
  It's hard for me to imagine that this person
• 12:43
  is a human being. Yeah. I think the term you
• 12:46
  might be looking for, I could be wrong, but the
• 12:48
  term that pops into my mind is it's farcical.
• 12:51
  It is because it's so, it is so outlandish that
• 12:55
  if we weren't living in the times we live in,
• 12:57
  we would think it was parody. We would read this
• 13:01
  and think, Oh man, the onions outdone themselves
• 13:04
  again or Hey Babylon B, you nailed another one.
• 13:07
  Good job. But we are at the point where the Babylon
• 13:10
  B and the onions are basically prophetic. They
• 13:13
  are parody. But we always laugh now. Well, we,
• 13:16
  like me and my circle, we laugh that whatever
• 13:18
  the Babylon be in particular, because they're,
• 13:19
  they're particularly good at this, whatever the
• 13:21
  headline they put out, give it six months or
• 13:23
  less. It's going to happen. The line between
• 13:26
  parody and reality is so thin as to almost not
• 13:30
  exist anymore. So it's farcical when, when you
• 13:32
  have the establishment coming out and telling
• 13:34
  us that government and corporations controlling
• 13:38
  people is bad after building careers on doing
• 13:42
  exactly that. and they're doing it, saying it
• 13:47
  unironically, it's, it's farcical. You're just
• 13:50
  like, you have, this has to be a cosmic joke.
• 13:52
  They're not only saying it unironically, they're
• 13:54
  doing it in sort of like an, like impatient and
• 13:57
  exasperated with us, stupid plebes who just don't
• 14:01
  get it. And we just don't understand that they're
• 14:03
  the medical authorities and like, what is your
• 14:06
  idiot's problem? Will you just sit down and shut
• 14:08
  up? And like, it's, they're like patient with
• 14:10
  us. Pay attention to this propaganda, not that
• 14:13
  propaganda. Our propaganda is the best. If you
• 14:15
  listen to our propaganda, you're smart. If you
• 14:17
  listen to other propaganda, you're dumb. OK,
• 14:20
  well, and there's also there's another layer
• 14:23
  to unpack here. Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Scott. Well,
• 14:25
  I just I just wanted to point out quickly before
• 14:26
  you unpack or the layer that you sent this to
• 14:28
  me with the with the preface of, hey. look at
• 14:32
  what the republicans quote unquote are doing
• 14:34
  a version of the same thing which is they want
• 14:37
  to I did disallow you from making a decision
• 14:40
  that you want to make because they know better
• 14:42
  so what should perfect it's it's all two sides
• 14:47
  of the same thing everyone's an authoritarian
• 14:49
  so it's like oh well we're but we're gonna vote
• 14:51
  i'm not i'm not voting democrat what are you
• 14:53
  crazy i'm gonna vote for the republicans these
• 14:55
  people are all authoritarians Yeah, you two sides
• 14:59
  of the same coin. You basically have one side
• 15:01
  who's like, I'm not going to vote for that side
• 15:03
  because that side wants to ban X. Well, I'm not
• 15:05
  going to vote for the other side because the
• 15:07
  other side wants to make X subsidized and perfectly
• 15:10
  legal. Right. So it's all a parody. One side,
• 15:13
  one side wants to take away my choices. And the
• 15:15
  other side also wants to take away my choices,
• 15:17
  but for, but in a different way. Right. And here
• 15:20
  we are, this is, this is the perfect topic. Like
• 15:22
  one side says you must get vaxxed. and show your
• 15:26
  proof of Vax in order to be a, in order to be
• 15:29
  allowed to participate in society. I God, I can't
• 15:32
  believe we're even saying that. Right. And then
• 15:33
  the other side says, you know, if you do want
• 15:38
  to do these things, nah, you're not allowed to
• 15:41
  band. You're not allowed to make the choice.
• 15:43
  So on both sides, they're not allowed to make
• 15:44
  the choice. So yeah, when I sent this to you,
• 15:46
  because for us, it's a given that the left is
• 15:51
  100 % of the time. If I like it, subsidize it.
• 15:55
  If I don't, ban it. And then you have Republicans
• 15:59
  in general, especially neocons and establishment
• 16:01
  Republicans and even conservatives now more and
• 16:03
  more and more behaving this way. So they really
• 16:05
  don't qualify as conservatives in my book who
• 16:08
  are taking that tack to for their own pet topics.
• 16:12
  So you're, you're all the same. You are statists.
• 16:15
  If I don't like it, ban it. If I do like it,
• 16:17
  subsidize it or keep it, you know, and this topic
• 16:19
  right here, it's perfect. So on one side it was,
• 16:22
  you must get back. You must do this. You have
• 16:24
  no choice. Now, only five years later on the
• 16:27
  other side, it's you can't do these things even
• 16:30
  if you want to. It's wild. And so that's why
• 16:34
  I sent it to your two parts. Number one was just
• 16:37
  the sheer farcical nature of the hospital people
• 16:41
  talk in and like, and the editorial itself and
• 16:44
  the writer of the editor just breathlessly being
• 16:46
  like, government is taking away your choices.
• 16:49
  And all I can think of is like, yeah, that's
• 16:51
  you guys. You do that every day. You love doing
• 16:53
  that. Yeah. You just, you absolutely. But they're
• 16:55
  not wrong. No, they're right. Yep. And unfortunately
• 16:58
  it sucks that they're not wrong. Level two unpack
• 17:01
  is this. You guys are actually correct. Government
• 17:04
  is taking away our choices. It just happens to
• 17:06
  be the other side, the other tribe. And that's
• 17:09
  why you're upset about it. If it was your tribe
• 17:11
  doing the same thing, you'd be about it. They're
• 17:13
  not, they're not upset about it because they,
• 17:14
  they love it. They not only love it, it's like
• 17:17
  the adrenochrome that they guzzle to give them
• 17:20
  life. They thrive on it. They live for it. And
• 17:24
  so therefore, what am I to make of them pretending
• 17:27
  to be mad about that which they most love on
• 17:29
  this earth? It's like I said, it's not inconsistent
• 17:33
  or hypocritical or anything. It's much, much
• 17:35
  more sinister and otherworldly than that. It's
• 17:38
  demonic. It would be funny if it wasn't happening
• 17:44
  on our own planet. Like if we could absorb this
• 17:48
  on a TV show or like, Oh yeah, look, this other
• 17:51
  planet in this other universe or whatever. And
• 17:53
  this is, this is how they behave. And then we
• 17:54
  can laugh and be like, yeah, good thing that
• 17:56
  shit never happens here. Oh, that's funny. No,
• 17:59
  unfortunately it's in our, it's in our universe
• 18:01
  on our planet. I also found myself sort of like
• 18:03
  a little up in my head because, well, you guys
• 18:05
  are pretty COVID again with the COVID and the
• 18:07
  mass, the vaccine, the COVID it's like, yeah,
• 18:10
  well, because everything goes back to it because
• 18:12
  it was only like five minutes ago, let's we forget
• 18:14
  like as the as the days and months are ticking
• 18:17
  off the calendar here, the more and more rosy
• 18:19
  glow over the past is getting painted as is that's
• 18:22
  just how human nature, you know, it all just
• 18:25
  happened. And it all it all sort of painted the
• 18:29
  picture of what officialdom is truly like. So
• 18:32
  we have to keep going back to it when because
• 18:34
  now this Idaho statesman article is from today.
• 18:36
  It's from today. So it's like, how am I supposed
• 18:39
  to not go back to that which happened way back
• 18:43
  in the year of our Lord, two, two, oh, when these
• 18:45
  very same people were relishing in this exact
• 18:48
  same stuff. I'm not supposed to bring it up on
• 18:50
  its way in the past. Like, I'm sorry, I have
• 18:52
  to bring it up. It's just, it's so illustrative
• 18:55
  that COVID as a whole, there's so many facets
• 19:00
  and aspects of it that you can unpack. And all
• 19:03
  of which have a common theme. And that is you
• 19:04
  can't, frankly, you can't hate government enough.
• 19:07
  You just can't. You cannot hate the state as
• 19:09
  a whole enough, and you cannot hate its agents
• 19:12
  and the bureaucrats enough. And you don't, you
• 19:15
  don't hate it enough. So that's why it keeps
• 19:17
  coming up because it is the most illustrative
• 19:20
  moment of our time and probably will be for my
• 19:23
  life and yours. Yes, and it's not the first time
• 19:26
  the state has triggered a mass psychosis event
• 19:29
  and just illustrated for the populace just what
• 19:32
  its true nature is. Certainly not, no. I mean,
• 19:33
  it happens all the time, but it's the most recent.
• 19:37
  Well, yes, but on top of that, it's the first
• 19:39
  time that it has been global. It's the first
• 19:42
  time also the technology has been at the level
• 19:44
  that it is, where we have record of all of it.
• 19:46
  And, you know, of course, they're slowly scrubbing
• 19:48
  parts of the Internet. They are trying to. The
• 19:50
  Internet archives are slowly disappearing. But
• 19:52
  enough of us have saved enough of it. that it's
• 19:56
  out there. So that's also unique in human history
• 19:59
  is that we have record of all of this and enough
• 20:02
  record keepers outside of the mainstream and
• 20:05
  outside of the powers that be that they can't
• 20:08
  get rid of all of it. They can't whitewash all
• 20:10
  of it. So it was global and widespread in a way
• 20:13
  nothing has ever been before in human history.
• 20:14
  We have a record of it in a way nothing ever
• 20:16
  has been in human history. And it was so coordinated
• 20:19
  in a way that nothing has ever been in human
• 20:21
  history yet. And that's what makes it unique.
• 20:23
  And then of course, you know, it happened to
• 20:25
  us. So for our life experience, it's also very
• 20:30
  unique and prescient. As such, before we continue
• 20:34
  on with the second half of this opinion piece
• 20:37
  by the Idaho Statesman, I would like to play
• 20:40
  just to refresh your memory of what that coercion
• 20:46
  for you to make your medical decisions for you
• 20:49
  with lies and fear what that sounds like today
• 20:52
  another lawsuit against vaccine mandates small
• 20:55
  businesses are already contending with a historic
• 20:58
  labor shortage these other guidances then just
• 21:02
  quickly the the the labor shortage that the small
• 21:05
  businesses were dealing with was because of the
• 21:07
  state the state shut down our businesses and
• 21:09
  we had to we had to dump our payrolls because
• 21:12
  we couldn't operate. So the notion that they're,
• 21:15
  oh, well, there's a labor shortage. Why do you
• 21:17
  think that is? The state paid everybody to not
• 21:20
  work. Once, once a couple of weeks went by and
• 21:23
  everybody knew it was going to be longer than
• 21:24
  a couple of weeks. Of course I knew, I knew right
• 21:26
  off the bat because I was a libertarian then
• 21:28
  and I'm a libertarian now. So I called that shot
• 21:30
  on day one. I said, this is going to last as
• 21:32
  long as they'll let it. Yep. I stood in the middle
• 21:36
  of the lounge and I told all of my clients right
• 21:38
  then and there, I said, everybody, here's how
• 21:41
  this is going to go. And we were right. But labor
• 21:45
  shortage, it turns out that when you incentivize
• 21:48
  something, you get more of that something. Shocker,
• 21:52
  right? So they shut the world down, shut down
• 21:56
  productivity in almost every sector, and then
• 21:59
  had no choice because of their own actions, they
• 22:02
  had to solve the problems they created. And of
• 22:05
  course, that meant print more money in one year
• 22:08
  than we have in the history of humankind. Dole
• 22:11
  it out to everybody for not working. So what
• 22:14
  happens when you get paid to not work? What do
• 22:16
  you get more of? And just the weekly reminder
• 22:19
  that they they only partially shut the world
• 22:21
  down because none of the big box stores ever
• 22:23
  stopped operating. So. Yeah, yeah, I always appreciate
• 22:26
  that reminder. Thank you, Scott. That's true.
• 22:28
  It's worse. It makes it worse. It's much worse.
• 22:31
  You know, because it was only in places like
• 22:33
  mine, small businesses where COVID you could
• 22:36
  catch COVID. You couldn't catch it in other places
• 22:38
  like Walmart or Target. Well, I want to continue
• 22:40
  on. This is a super cut that I put together of
• 22:42
  some of this stuff. So let's just let it play
• 22:44
  through. These other guidances from various departments
• 22:48
  are simply only guidances. That's why it's important
• 22:51
  that we codify this through the legislative process.
• 22:53
  If you're unvaccinated, unfortunately, you will
• 22:56
  not be able to participate in many things. That's
• 22:57
  the point we're trying to get across. It's time
• 23:00
  for people to see vaccination as literally necessary
• 23:03
  to living a good and full life. Actually, this
• 23:05
  is fine to go ahead and mandate vaccines at this
• 23:08
  point. So you're going to mandate vaccines for
• 23:11
  folks going indoors? Comply with city vaccine
• 23:14
  mandates. Should police officers, emergency responders
• 23:17
  be mandated to get vaccines? And if not, should
• 23:21
  they be stay at home or let go? Yes and yes.
• 23:25
  The mandates are working. Rutgers University
• 23:28
  in New Jersey will now become the first known
• 23:30
  college to require students to be vaccinated
• 23:33
  before returning to campus in the fall. I think
• 23:36
  that's a great idea. you get the vaccine or you
• 23:39
  stop coming to work. University systems that
• 23:41
  are going to mandate the vaccine in order to
• 23:44
  come on campus. More universities and employers
• 23:47
  have started to impose vaccine mandates. Vaccines
• 23:51
  are how we end the pandemic. A BC health authority
• 23:54
  is apologizing after a vaccine clinic handed
• 23:57
  out yellow stars to people getting their second
• 24:00
  COVID vaccine. If you want to do business with
• 24:02
  the federal government, get your workers vaccinated.
• 24:06
  Basques went back on in Disneyland yesterday
• 24:09
  for anyone vaccinated or not who steps indoors
• 24:12
  at the amusement park. That's another reminder
• 24:15
  of just how absurd every, you know, oh, you know,
• 24:18
  just get the shot and then it'll all be fine.
• 24:20
  And then, of course, once, you know, 90 percent
• 24:23
  of the I don't know what the numbers are. A lot
• 24:25
  of people lined up. So when they write the textbooks.
• 24:29
  Sorry for interrupting. Just when they write
• 24:32
  the textbooks on this. on COVID, the textbooks
• 24:35
  that go into public schools. It's gonna be just
• 24:38
  like how they tell the story about FDR ending
• 24:40
  the depression, which is a total false narrative.
• 24:45
  It's a 100 % provably false narrative. A shocker,
• 24:50
  right? Government intervention screws everything
• 24:52
  up. But that's for another time, as far as unpacking
• 24:56
  that particular subject. But this is just like
• 24:58
  how modern historians always rank FDR as like
• 25:01
  top three. And he's the one who ended the depression
• 25:04
  and heralded in a new time period for the working
• 25:08
  man in American history and he was, yada, yada,
• 25:10
  yada. But the guy was a desperate who tried for
• 25:13
  like a fourth term, even though he already got
• 25:15
  three, which was more than you're supposed to
• 25:16
  get in the first place. That's why they have
• 25:18
  the constitutional amendment about that. Put
• 25:21
  Japanese people in internment camps, et cetera,
• 25:24
  et cetera. I could go on, but yet textbooks and
• 25:27
  historians, modern ones, rank him as one of the
• 25:30
  best. It's going to happen with COVID too. You're
• 25:32
  going to, you're going to see it in public schools.
• 25:34
  Kids are going to be raised to think that it
• 25:37
  was vaccine mandates and passports that ended
• 25:40
  COVID. The next round of books that are in print
• 25:43
  that cover modern history or civics, it's in
• 25:48
  there. And if it hadn't been for the brave actions
• 25:51
  of our pharmaceutical companies and our leader,
• 25:53
  leader, leaders, forcing everybody to get vaxxed,
• 25:57
  it could have gone on for 10 more years and people
• 25:59
  could have gotten. young people could have gotten
• 26:02
  sicker and sickest and deadest. It's a cult.
• 26:05
  We call them, you probably heard this before,
• 26:08
  branch covideans. They're a cult. Yikes. In the
• 26:14
  2023 version of some, like, I don't know, civics
• 26:18
  or American history, whatever the textbook was,
• 26:20
  somebody sent me a picture of their, of their
• 26:22
  like 15 year old sophomore daughter's textbook
• 26:25
  or the 2023 edition. It already had. a passage
• 26:28
  in there about the pandemic and Fauci saved us.
• 26:30
  And that's the story. What you described already
• 26:32
  happened. Well, Crud, I'd like to say I'm an
• 26:37
  oracle, but apparently it already happened. I
• 26:39
  didn't know it happened, but apparently it already
• 26:41
  happened. And I called it a couple of years late.
• 26:43
  I mean, I don't know. Does that count, Scott?
• 26:44
  Like if you don't know something has already
• 26:46
  happened and you call your shot and it and it
• 26:49
  turns out to be true. You're just a couple of
• 26:52
  years late, but you didn't know. You get like
• 26:54
  half credit. I think that makes you that makes
• 26:56
  you Nostra dumbass. Okay, here's one more. Here's
• 27:04
  one more. I came across this, I just had to play
• 27:06
  it. It's the delightful governor of Oregon at
• 27:10
  the time, Kate Brown knows her, and she is going
• 27:14
  to very officially from her governor's desk as
• 27:18
  part of the, as one of the cogs in the apparatus
• 27:20
  of officialdom, describe to you that you still
• 27:23
  must cover your face even if you've got the shot,
• 27:26
  even though they all said the opposite five minutes
• 27:28
  earlier. Friday, August 27th, masks will be required
• 27:32
  in all public outdoor settings. Outside. Regardless
• 27:35
  of vaccination status. Doesn't matter. This is
• 27:37
  not a drill. Not a drill. In addition, the Oregon
• 27:40
  Health Authority strongly recommends masking
• 27:43
  and outdoor gatherings at private residences.
• 27:46
  Mask in your house. Because the virus knows no
• 27:47
  boundaries. The virus knows no boundaries. So
• 27:50
  that's the sort of messaging that was just wall
• 27:52
  to wall. Now I want to go back to the Idaho Statesman
• 27:57
  editorial. which is just has its panties in a
• 28:02
  wad about a big government telling people what
• 28:05
  to do with regard to medical decisions. I don't
• 28:07
  think it's freedom to lie to people and to manipulate
• 28:09
  them to make their choice. That's not a free
• 28:15
  choice. The free choice is to tell you the truth.
• 28:17
  Make no mistake. Yeah, he loves freedom and truth.
• 28:20
  The free choice is to tell you the truth. Make
• 28:22
  no mistake, Senate Bill 1346 is the state government
• 28:25
  making a medical decision for everyone. Think
• 28:27
  about it this way. People were all up in arms
• 28:30
  over vaccine mandates during the COVID pandemic.
• 28:32
  They didn't want the government telling them
• 28:34
  how to handle medical decisions, even in the
• 28:36
  interest of public health and safety during a
• 28:38
  health care crisis. So when we do it. Oh, yeah.
• 28:40
  But that time was different. Yes. And now that
• 28:42
  is the only there is no other mention of the
• 28:46
  vaccine mandate period. He just blows right by
• 28:49
  it. It's like, oh, well, yeah, they were all
• 28:51
  up in arms about the vaccine mandates. And then
• 28:54
  you would think the next thing would be to explain
• 28:57
  how it's different or explain no they don't explain
• 28:59
  anything they just he just blows past it think
• 29:02
  about it this way people were all up in arms
• 29:04
  over vaccine mandates during the covid pandemic
• 29:06
  yeah how dare we didn't want the government telling
• 29:08
  them how to handle medical decisions we're not
• 29:10
  even in the interest of public health and safety
• 29:12
  during a health care crisis what more data do
• 29:14
  you need said jeff coller professor of rna biology
• 29:17
  and therapeutics at johns hopkins university
• 29:20
  Ah, Johns Hopkins. And he's a professor of RNA
• 29:24
  biology. And he's just exasperated with a stupid
• 29:27
  plebs that we just won't listen to him. Just
• 29:30
  shut up and do what he says. What more data do
• 29:33
  you want, you idiots? I'll tell you, it's I think
• 29:37
  that he needs more data. And that is the data
• 29:40
  on all of the people who didn't have terrible
• 29:42
  things going on inside their bodies that now
• 29:44
  do over the last few years, things that they
• 29:46
  weren't predisposed to things that never cropped
• 29:47
  up on any scans or blood work or anything. And
• 29:49
  then all of a sudden uncle Tom's suffering a
• 29:52
  cardiac arrest or a pulmonary something, something
• 29:55
  in their leg or the best athletes in the world
• 29:58
  on live TV are collapsing on the court or the
• 30:02
  field or what have you. And some of them aren't
• 30:05
  getting back up. Yeah, the thing is though, when
• 30:07
  you get bogged down in that stuff, when you get
• 30:09
  bogged down in that stuff, everyone's getting
• 30:12
  an unfalsifiable face statement arguments. Like,
• 30:16
  well, had he not got the shot, he wouldn't have
• 30:17
  fallen down. Unfalsifiable face statement. Well,
• 30:20
  had he done this, then that would have happened.
• 30:22
  Unfalsifiable face statement. I'm not getting
• 30:24
  bogged down in any of that. I'm just telling
• 30:26
  guys like this that are so fed up with me and
• 30:29
  they just want to know what more information
• 30:31
  I need so that I just comply with their BS. I
• 30:33
  don't actually care if it was proven beyond a
• 30:36
  shadow of a doubt that he was right. He can go
• 30:38
  cram it up sideways. What do you think about
• 30:40
  that? What more data do you need? Said Jeff Coller,
• 30:43
  professor of RNA biology and therapeutics at
• 30:46
  Johns Hopkins University, an executive committee
• 30:48
  member at the Alliance for mRNA Medicines. I
• 30:50
  mean, you can make claims that maybe the FDA
• 30:52
  is in bed with Moderna or Pfizer and they're
• 30:54
  hiding it. But you really think the European
• 30:56
  Medicines Agency is? You think the Canadians
• 30:58
  are? You think the Australians are? Wait, wait,
• 31:03
  wait, let him finish, let him finish, because
• 31:04
  this is going to be great. This is the same guy
• 31:07
  who just wants to know what more data us idiots
• 31:09
  need. I mean, you can make claims. I just like
• 31:11
  the fact that he automatically assumes that there
• 31:13
  can't possibly, maybe there's, okay, maybe there's
• 31:16
  some corruption in America, maybe. But do you
• 31:18
  think there could possibly be corruption in Europe
• 31:20
  or Australia? Places where people also live and
• 31:24
  people do people things? There couldn't possibly
• 31:26
  be corruption anywhere else. I mean, you can
• 31:29
  make claims that maybe the FDA is in bed with
• 31:31
  Moderna or Pfizer and they're hiding it, but
• 31:34
  you really think the European Medicines Agency
• 31:36
  is? You think the Canadians are? You think the
• 31:38
  Australians are? You think the Brazilian government
• 31:41
  is doing the same thing? This would really represent
• 31:43
  one of the largest conspiracies in human history.
• 31:46
  You don't say, dude. And he's saying it like,
• 31:49
  hey, you tinfoil dumbasses, you really think
• 31:51
  that this sort of collusion is going on with
• 31:55
  like, oh, so what every government is colluding,
• 31:57
  is that it? Well, over to Brazil, where it has
• 32:00
  the third highest number of COVID cases globally,
• 32:04
  and an immunization plan is underway. The health
• 32:07
  ministry delivered the final plan, or the first
• 32:10
  plan, rather. The final solution. On Friday to
• 32:12
  the federal attorney office and Supreme Court.
• 32:15
  The Brazilian Ministry of Health began to apply
• 32:17
  the bivalent anti -COVID -19 vaccine in 17 states,
• 32:21
  which improves immunity against the original
• 32:23
  Omicron variants. Oh, thank you, mainstream media
• 32:26
  talking head in Brazil. shilling on behalf of
• 32:28
  the vaccine companies in Brazil? Hmm, it's almost
• 32:31
  like there's collusion between the Brazilian
• 32:32
  government and Pfizer. That would never happen.
• 32:41
  Scott, there is no way that Pfizer would ever
• 32:46
  want to have a bigger share in one of the biggest
• 32:49
  markets in the world. Brazil. We have some breaking
• 32:55
  news. The Pfizer COVID vaccine appears to neutralize
• 32:59
  the variants first identified in Brazil and the
• 33:03
  UK. Australia has clinched a potentially game
• 33:06
  -changing deal to triple its access to Pfizer
• 33:09
  vaccines to one million doses a week from July
• 33:12
  19th as Sydney almost certainly faces another
• 33:15
  seven -day lockdown extension. This is great
• 33:17
  news. Brought to you by Pfizer. No, we just how
• 33:22
  what what what are what are us idiot plebes thinking?
• 33:25
  You know, first we need more data Do we need
• 33:28
  to listen to this guy and then what do you get?
• 33:30
  You know who we would just remove our tinfoil
• 33:31
  hat long enough to realize how stupid it is to
• 33:34
  assume that other governments might be colluding
• 33:36
  with large pharmaceutical companies They publish
• 33:39
  this stuff on Iran. I mean what is going on?
• 33:45
  farce It's a, it's a farce to scam. This is all
• 33:51
  a simulation. Like if we're, yeah, I was just
• 33:54
  going to say it. Damn. You always just say we're
• 33:55
  living in the matrix and I want to refund. I'm
• 33:58
  done being a human battery for a, no, you know
• 34:00
  what? No, I'll keep being a human battery. Just,
• 34:02
  could you, can you change out the operating system,
• 34:04
  please? Can you give me a different simulation?
• 34:06
  My machine overlords, please give me something
• 34:09
  else. It really speaks to like, how like how
• 34:12
  delicious beef is and how good sex feels that
• 34:14
  I cause otherwise I would just exit stage left.
• 34:16
  Like I'm trying to think about like, what is
• 34:18
  even keeping me in this ridiculous simulation?
• 34:20
  And it's just cause like, yeah, I guess the good
• 34:22
  stuff is like pretty good cigars taste good,
• 34:23
  you know, I mean, what are we doing? Well, it's
• 34:28
  a, well, you and I have talked about off off
• 34:30
  air before is, you know, especially when we suffer
• 34:33
  and trial after trial through periods of our
• 34:35
  lives is you still got to practice gratitude.
• 34:37
  And it's the little things they add up, they
• 34:39
  matter. And there's a lot of good little things.
• 34:40
  So, so we're going to take this moment in the
• 34:42
  broadcast to just say that practice gratitude
• 34:46
  and touch grass and get some sunshine. Those
• 34:49
  things do help a lot. They really do. And pray.
• 34:52
  I mean, I'm a man of faith and sometimes I'm
• 34:54
  really wondering like, okay, God, you know, I
• 34:58
  know you made everything, but boy, do I have
• 34:59
  some questions about why. The questions you ask,
• 35:02
  but at the end of the day, you look around and
• 35:04
  you go, I got a beautiful wife. I got beautiful
• 35:06
  kids. You know, we live in a beautiful place.
• 35:08
  I like the people I hang out with, except for
• 35:11
  that guy, Scott, that I do a podcast with. You
• 35:13
  don't really hang out with me for the record.
• 35:15
  And you're like, Oh yeah, I was at the lounge
• 35:17
  yesterday. What were you doing? Yeah. Yeah. And
• 35:20
  I've made a, I've really made a, basically a
• 35:22
  profession too, out of promising to like buy
• 35:24
  you drinks and cigars and then making you foot
• 35:26
  the bill anyways. Every time we're in the lounge
• 35:28
  at the end of the night, which is really the
• 35:30
  perfect time to say it. Paul's like, Oh, I owed
• 35:32
  you a second. It is the perfect time. You're
• 35:35
  so damn quick to get up and pay the tab before,
• 35:37
  before I realize it. I'm like, Hey, Oh shit,
• 35:39
  you already did it. But I digress. Like I way
• 35:41
  digress here. The point is, is there's still
• 35:43
  a lot of beauty in the world, but man, stuff
• 35:45
  like this does make you wonder where you just
• 35:46
  like, can we, can we like pull the Pull the cartridge
• 35:51
  out of the Nintendo blow on it a couple of times
• 35:53
  put it back in press reset. Let's see Yeah, see
• 35:56
  what we get. Well and see the do that You got
• 35:58
  to do the hot air first and then the cold air
• 36:01
  and then it's that's how it works Dude, that's
• 36:05
  fine. I'll go get the blow dryer You go get the
• 36:07
  keyboard air sprayer thing turn it upside and
• 36:09
  between the two of us. We'll get it done It was
• 36:12
  just to wrap that up. I mean, you know, the statesman,
• 36:14
  it's just another mainstream propaganda apparatus.
• 36:17
  I mean, there's nothing new under the sun. It's
• 36:20
  what's what's amazing is that that I suppose
• 36:23
  thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands
• 36:26
  of Idahoans read it and they just nod their heads.
• 36:28
  Oh, yeah. Yeah. Republicans are are are are terrible.
• 36:32
  Yes. Well, there's there's some to there's something
• 36:35
  to be said for that couple of things because
• 36:37
  you mentioned that and I was thinking about that,
• 36:38
  too. about them claiming to be the most widely
• 36:41
  read publication in Idaho or I guess newspaper
• 36:44
  in Idaho. I think the bar is pretty low. I think
• 36:47
  the bar is pretty low. You don't really hear
• 36:49
  much about subscriber numbers of these mainstream
• 36:52
  media sources anymore, especially print. They
• 36:55
  don't really tout their numbers and when they
• 36:57
  do, they don't give you specific numbers. They
• 36:59
  might give you a percentage. Like the press did
• 37:03
  when they were patting themselves on the back
• 37:04
  a few weeks, a few podcasts ago. Remember we
• 37:07
  highlighted their their editorial where they
• 37:09
  were, where they basically said, yeah, so we've
• 37:10
  checked in on ourselves and it turns out we're
• 37:12
  pretty awesome. And they mentioned that, you
• 37:15
  know, readership was up by like 8 % or something.
• 37:17
  Well, you know, 8 % of 3000 isn't that many people,
• 37:23
  but 8 % sounds pretty good. Don't it? Well, the
• 37:25
  Statesman they're in Boise and Boise is the worst
• 37:29
  place in Idaho is anybody who lives outside of
• 37:31
  Boise and how people who live in Boise will probably,
• 37:33
  a lot of them, not all will tell you. Boise sucks,
• 37:36
  it's not Idaho, it's South Idaho, man. If we
• 37:38
  could cut the line at Lewis Inn and kick the
• 37:40
  rest of that shit down south out of here, yeah,
• 37:42
  I'd be down. And then we'd only have to battle
• 37:45
  Coeur d 'Alene and Sandpoint. Oh, man, that would
• 37:48
  be so awesome. But again, I digress. So they
• 37:51
  naturally have a bigger market, a much bigger
• 37:53
  market. So even if they take a much smaller percentage
• 37:56
  of a much bigger market, they're still gonna
• 37:57
  have a higher readership. That's number one.
• 37:59
  Number two is they're probably one of the oldest,
• 38:01
  if not the oldest, legacy mouthpieces. So that's
• 38:04
  obviously going to help you. And people who fully
• 38:07
  disagree with them are going to read them too,
• 38:08
  just to know what they're up against. You know,
• 38:11
  that's a fact. All right. In the meantime, let's
• 38:14
  do a couple more here because we're almost already
• 38:16
  at a mid show point here. The registration sticker
• 38:20
  bill, they are like, oh, we shouldn't have to
• 38:21
  put red stickers on our license plate because
• 38:24
  the guy who sponsored the bill had his intern
• 38:26
  go do it for him and realized that it was kind
• 38:28
  of stupid. Well, it passed. This is for Idaho
• 38:30
  drivers out there. Starting on July 1st, coming
• 38:32
  up this year, motorists will no longer have to
• 38:35
  display a registration sticker on their license
• 38:37
  plate instead a valid license plate and up to
• 38:40
  date vehicle registration will be what you need
• 38:43
  to comply with state law. The state estimates
• 38:45
  the change will actually save money. around $300
• 38:48
  ,000 annually in materials and production costs.
• 38:52
  And just to be clear, law enforcement will still
• 38:54
  verify vehicle registration during traffic stops
• 38:56
  or routine checks. Just to be clear, we're not
• 38:59
  surveilling you any less. We just want you to
• 39:01
  understand, dear citizen, we will have our eye
• 39:04
  on you and know exactly who you are, where you're
• 39:05
  going, where you're coming from, and et cetera.
• 39:10
  Nailed it. Lest you be confused. Oh, definitely.
• 39:15
  So it's a good thing That face value, it's a
• 39:19
  good thing because, hey, now we're theoretically
• 39:23
  anyways, operating more efficiently, which I
• 39:26
  applaud. Will we see a return on that money?
• 39:28
  No, of course not. A, because it's too small
• 39:30
  an amount to matter anyway. So what are you going
• 39:32
  to do? Give everybody 25 cents back in this state.
• 39:36
  And B, they always have find a way to spend it
• 39:38
  no matter what. But it's a nice thought. It's
• 39:40
  a way to tidy some things up, save a few bucks.
• 39:43
  add a couple of extra administrative positions
• 39:45
  that you now can afford. Cause I'm sure somebody
• 39:48
  is getting a new job. It's a hundred grand plus
• 39:51
  Benny's and they will continue to surveil us
• 39:54
  as hard or harder. In fact, there are some, I,
• 39:56
  what I believe to be a pretty, uh, realistic
• 40:00
  expectations from those of us again, in my circle
• 40:02
  that think this is going to be the excuse they
• 40:04
  use to increase surveillance as a whole and the
• 40:09
  tools and local governments will actually, here's,
• 40:11
  here's where this gets shittier into the nature
• 40:13
  of how government works. Local governments will
• 40:15
  do the dirty work for the state and and for the
• 40:18
  feds. So because that's how this works. A lot
• 40:21
  of the time, the moment the state gets out of
• 40:23
  the game, the local governments like, well, we'll
• 40:25
  pick up the slack for you. We'll do your dirty
• 40:27
  work because, you know, for instance, Kootenay
• 40:29
  County Sheriff Bob Norris wants license plate
• 40:31
  readers and wants ways to be able to surveil
• 40:34
  you at every stop at any every stoplight, every
• 40:37
  intersection, anywhere you go where they can
• 40:39
  set up a camera. they're gonna and tag you and
• 40:43
  bag you and know where you're going, where you've
• 40:45
  been, how long, when you come back through there,
• 40:47
  when, when, when the road pirates are out, every
• 40:50
  plate that they can run, they're going to run
• 40:53
  regardless of whether you're suspicious or not,
• 40:55
  or they'll come up with an excuse for why you're
• 40:57
  suspicious and run your plates. Anyways, all
• 41:00
  of that, it's all going to happen more than it
• 41:03
  already does. It's already happening, but it's
• 41:04
  going to go on steroids. And at some point in
• 41:06
  Kootenay County, you know, there's going to be
• 41:08
  more tools to surveil. Bonner County will be
• 41:10
  next because Sandpoint runs the roost here and
• 41:12
  Sandpoint City Council and Sandpoint PD will
• 41:14
  be like we need these things because my drugs
• 41:18
  and stuff and we never know what Canadians might
• 41:22
  be doing when they come through here and yadda
• 41:24
  yadda bullshit blah yeah so on and so forth so
• 41:26
  that's common it's common I hate to be so cynical
• 41:29
  about it but unfortunately government gives us
• 41:31
  no reason to not be so it's cool right now but
• 41:34
  ultimately we're going to look back on it maybe
• 41:36
  in five years and be like, damn, I kind of wish
• 41:37
  they'd mail me those stupid stickers and take
• 41:39
  down the traffic light cameras. Well, and I,
• 41:43
  on the, on the road pirate tip, I did, I don't
• 41:46
  remember where I heard it, but I remember hear
• 41:49
  someone go and think about law enforcement. Someone
• 41:52
  in law enforcement was like, it's actually not
• 41:54
  the $300 ,000 a year savings or whatever is being
• 41:57
  touted. It actually represents a several million
• 41:59
  dollar loss because when you get rid of the red
• 42:03
  stickers, there's actually a lot of citations
• 42:05
  that would have been issued that now aren't going
• 42:07
  to be able to be issued. And so you're actually
• 42:09
  you're going to end up with a massive revenue
• 42:11
  net loss, which OK, fine. I heard that argument.
• 42:14
  Well, but I mean, your apparatus is illegitimate.
• 42:17
  Like that's an illegitimate premise that you
• 42:20
  just started from. You're harassing the citizens.
• 42:24
  Is it a truthful premise, things being what they
• 42:26
  are? Maybe it is. Yes. Is it immoral and unethical
• 42:29
  and illegitimate? Right. Yes. Right. And that
• 42:33
  is an argument that opponents of the bill made.
• 42:35
  including law enforcement people. I mean, a lot
• 42:37
  of police chiefs came out against it and they
• 42:39
  were like, well, then, you know, how are we going
• 42:41
  to pull people over and take more of their money?
• 42:43
  It's going to be harder for us to, to extract
• 42:45
  revenue from the dirty peasants. I mean, that
• 42:48
  really is basically what they said. Just a different
• 42:50
  language. How are we going to extract revenue
• 42:52
  from people while they're driving without those
• 42:55
  tags? What more data do you dirty peasants need?
• 42:57
  You're so annoying. Just Shut up and give us
• 43:02
  your money. Lord. OK, well, hey, if you want
• 43:05
  to take a take the edge off, take a little stress
• 43:07
  off, you know, get rid of your cynicism for an
• 43:09
  afternoon. All right. I want to try this out.
• 43:13
  This sounds pretty cool. It is a cafe coming
• 43:15
  to our area. It is similar to the idea of, say,
• 43:18
  a cat cafe. But this new cafe is coming to Coeur
• 43:21
  d 'Alene later this month, and it's really unusual.
• 43:25
  Hold on. Do you know what a cat cafe is? I'm.
• 43:29
  Guessing it's a cafe where they allow cats to
• 43:31
  hang out. So you can like go and get a coffee
• 43:34
  and sit in a chair and, and get. Yeah, yeah,
• 43:39
  exactly. I'll have, I'll have a vanilla latte
• 43:42
  and some toxoplasmosis sprinkled over the top.
• 43:44
  Could you do a design with it, please? Let's
• 43:46
  like, what is that? Does it come with a side
• 43:47
  of Benadryl? Cause I'm allergic. What is a cat
• 43:51
  cafe? Cats. This is what I'm really wondering.
• 43:54
  Cats roam freely in the lounge area, so it's
• 43:56
  not like they're in a pen or anything. They're
• 43:58
  just like wandering around the place. OK, yeah,
• 44:01
  that's what a cat cafe is. OK, it's not a zoo.
• 44:04
  If it was a zoo, then we'd put them in pens,
• 44:06
  you know, which is perfectly humane. Oh yeah,
• 44:08
  no, it's it's a great to wholesome afternoon
• 44:10
  to spend with your kids. OK, here's the rest
• 44:12
  of this cafe that's coming to court. It will
• 44:15
  be full of these little guys. That's right. This
• 44:18
  is the happy hour Cafe goats. It's the Cappy
• 44:23
  Hour Cafe. Maybe I should have done Ask Paul
• 44:25
  on this one. Is it Cappabara? It'll be at Big
• 44:32
  Red's barn and will offer a reservation -only,
• 44:35
  Brazilian -inspired Cappy Bar experience. They'll
• 44:38
  serve specials to Brazilian -inspired coffees.
• 44:40
  Check. That sounds amazing. And tea as well.
• 44:44
  Wait, do they have Brazilian -inspired vaccines?
• 44:46
  Oh, there were none. There were none, you conspiracy
• 44:48
  theorists. What do you think? The government
• 44:49
  is called the government of Brazil is colluding
• 44:51
  with Pfizer. What are you nuts? This is Capybara
• 44:54
  Cafe sponsored by Pfizer. Well, actually, I was
• 44:57
  wondering as I was listening to this, like, is
• 44:59
  this a is this a native ad? Did the Big Red Barn
• 45:01
  pay for this? This one is not as obvious. I'm
• 45:05
  not sure. They may be dead because there was
• 45:07
  some specifics given, like the date it's opening
• 45:09
  or whatever. But these news anchor ladies are,
• 45:13
  you know, they're so, they just love animals.
• 45:14
  Humans are the worst, you idiots. Just what more
• 45:17
  data do you need? But animals, boy, do they love
• 45:19
  them. So it's possible that they just actually
• 45:21
  did this sort of organically. I don't know. It's
• 45:23
  unclear. That's amazing. And tea as well. And
• 45:26
  acai bowls and light tropical snacks. But I think
• 45:28
  the real win is it sounds like they'll have capybaras
• 45:32
  or a capybara i'm not sure i need to sign up
• 45:35
  immediately this is so up my alley they're so
• 45:38
  cute and i was told once when visiting a preserve
• 45:41
  that they love human interaction so there you
• 45:45
  go perfect there you go just one time at the
• 45:49
  preserve i was told that they love humans we
• 45:52
  didn't get to see or touch any capybara but i
• 45:54
  was told they love human interaction Jokes and
• 45:58
  cynicism aside. I think that sounds fun and that
• 46:00
  sounds cool and I'll tell you what if I lived
• 46:02
  in the area I might be tempted to check it out.
• 46:04
  That's kind of cool. Can't be bar are they're
• 46:06
  fun. They're funny. They're cool I don't know
• 46:07
  anything about them, but they they look like
• 46:09
  they'd be fun to interact with and have a can
• 46:12
  just sit there and have a coffee with I'd give
• 46:16
  it a try and and for the record by all accounts
• 46:20
  the people who run Reds Big Barn which is in
• 46:24
  Hayden, if I'm not mistaken. We're talking about
• 46:25
  the place in Hayden where it's sort of like a
• 46:26
  petting zoo they've got in Hayden. They're good
• 46:29
  people and they actually do take really good
• 46:31
  care of their animals and they bust their asses
• 46:34
  to make that business go. I can't imagine it
• 46:36
  being easy. That is a tough business model and
• 46:38
  they've been around for, gosh, I don't know.
• 46:40
  I think they've made it eight some odd years.
• 46:42
  They started before COVID and somehow managed
• 46:45
  to make it through and they're locals and they're
• 46:47
  decent people. Capybara Cafe sounds fun. Go check
• 46:50
  it out. then you know what, maybe you and I will
• 46:53
  have to not hang out there together. I think
• 46:56
  that's awesome. I will also have to not pay for
• 46:58
  your ticket. I'll tell you, I would definitely,
• 47:03
  infinitely, no comparison, rather hang out in
• 47:06
  a cappy cafe than a cat cafe. God, cats, no thanks.
• 47:10
  Oh yeah. That's not even close. Not even close.
• 47:13
  I would pay like 10 times the amount to hang
• 47:15
  out with a capybara versus not cats. Here's a
• 47:20
  final one before we take a little breather to
• 47:22
  describe the model for this show on which, you
• 47:25
  might have noticed, you haven't heard any advertisements.
• 47:28
  This is breaking news breaking breaking breaking
• 47:31
  news out of Kootenai County tonight. Sheriff's
• 47:34
  deputies, Coeur d 'Alene police and the ATF.
• 47:36
  Those federal agents are investigating an explosives
• 47:40
  incident at the county fairgrounds today. Sheriff's
• 47:43
  office says that two vendors at the Northwest
• 47:45
  Gold and Treasure Show got into a dispute yesterday
• 47:48
  and then today a son of one of the vendors approached
• 47:51
  the other and threw a backpack under their table.
• 47:54
  The backpack caught fire and was quickly thrown.
• 48:04
  I haven't asked Scott, what do you suppose the
• 48:09
  odds are that of the two parties involved in
• 48:14
  the dispute, one of them was Islamist and one
• 48:19
  of them was Jewish? They're at a gold show, they
• 48:23
  argue, and then a bomb is thrown. Like over a
• 48:31
  hundred percent, but the name deputies though
• 48:34
  arrested 21 year old John Marsh from John Marsh
• 48:38
  Marsh, Marsh, Marsh, Marsh, Hamid. Yeah. Marsh
• 48:41
  or Marshenstein. They changed it at Ellis Island.
• 48:47
  John Marsh, Marsh, Hamid and I'll be Marshenstein
• 48:50
  Mordecai, Marchenstein. All right. Well, it was
• 48:56
  worth it. It was worth an ask, you know. Well,
• 48:58
  he is from California, though. Here's the end
• 49:00
  of it. Deputy arrested 21 year old John Marsh
• 49:03
  from Mid Pines, California, and charged him with
• 49:06
  suspected arson, aggravated assault and suspected
• 49:09
  arson. Well, he threw a flaming backpack allegedly
• 49:14
  suspected arson. I love that, too. It's possible
• 49:20
  he might have done it. What gave it away? The
• 49:23
  backpack. It's on fire. It was what we're not
• 49:26
  entirely sure that it was a it was a A Jansport
• 49:31
  Inferno that someone tossed out the door. Damn,
• 49:37
  what a perfectly good waste of a perfectly good
• 49:39
  North Face backpack. I do wonder, then it was
• 49:43
  like, oh, the two vendors were, you know, Abdulbin
• 49:46
  Mohammed and Mordehide Mendelstein were in a
• 49:49
  dispute. And then the next day, one of their
• 49:51
  sons... the patriarch's son went and did his
• 49:54
  dirty work. Yeah. Do you think that he was like,
• 49:57
  Hey, you know, like, you know, John, you got
• 49:59
  to go do this for me. Or did the kid take it
• 50:01
  upon himself? If it's the former man, way to
• 50:04
  sacrifice your first born. I mean, boomers. Okay.
• 50:10
  And with that, I'm not going to go to war son,
• 50:14
  but you're the right age for it. So, you know,
• 50:19
  Who wants to go die for Israel? Hold on, I gotta
• 50:23
  go deposit my social security check. Oh my gosh,
• 50:24
  she even checks those boxes because again on
• 50:26
  one side It's like who wants to go die for Israel
• 50:29
  and on the other side. It's like here's son.
• 50:30
  You're a man now There's an exploding backpack
• 50:32
  You know what to do speaking of Israel and money
• 50:36
  by the OJs this show no ID Runs on the value
• 50:41
  for value model as I mentioned a moment ago.
• 50:44
  We do not have and will never have sponsors ads
• 50:48
  live reads or any other form or explosive backpacks.
• 50:52
  Well, I did just plug Jansport. And by the way,
• 50:54
  if you lit a Jansport backpack on fire, it would
• 50:57
  still be usable because boy are those things
• 50:59
  workhorses. Yes, Jansport. But no, I actually
• 51:06
  see now that actually is a great illustration.
• 51:09
  I actually really was hobbling all of my audio
• 51:11
  gear up to my office today. I have to wear a
• 51:13
  backpack because I'm on crutches. And guess how
• 51:16
  much of my audio equipment I could fit into that
• 51:18
  Jansport. How much, Paul? So many compartments.
• 51:22
  I could fit all of it times three. What will
• 51:25
  they think of now? All right. I apologize. Please
• 51:30
  continue. So, well, that's a good point about
• 51:34
  the value for value model, which I will describe
• 51:35
  momentarily, is that if you hear us mentioning
• 51:39
  something like the Big Red Barn or Jansport Backpacks
• 51:42
  or anything else, you can rest assured that we
• 51:45
  actually just like it. If you're hearing us plug
• 51:48
  a product or speak highly of something, it's
• 51:50
  because that's what we think. Not because that's
• 51:52
  what we were paid to say or paid not to say.
• 51:55
  And that's what happens in the advertiser model
• 51:57
  that this show does not run on. We instead run
• 51:59
  on value for value. That simply means that if
• 52:03
  you find this show valuable, if you find it to
• 52:05
  be a valuable addition to your rotation on your
• 52:08
  podcasts, then we ask that you return value to
• 52:12
  us. And there are many different ways to do that.
• 52:14
  Time, talent and treasure. Now we are gratefully
• 52:16
  borrowing this model, as I like to say from time
• 52:19
  to time. from No Agenda, from Adam and John and
• 52:22
  the pioneers of the model at No Agenda. I should
• 52:24
  say that John just had a double bypass surgery.
• 52:29
  So the show has taken a weird turn for the moment
• 52:32
  while for the first time ever in almost 20 years,
• 52:35
  John's wife is filling in on the other end of
• 52:37
  the microphone. So it's Adam and Mimi for the
• 52:40
  timing. It's been kind of a strange few days.
• 52:44
  Way to take down the patriarchy, Mimi. Way to
• 52:47
  punch through that glass ceiling. and replace
• 52:50
  a man with a woman. Well, word has it that...
• 52:54
  Women listen to podcasts too. Word has it that
• 52:57
  Adam's only given 70 cents on the dollar from
• 53:00
  all the donations, so... No, that makes sense.
• 53:03
  That's economical. You got to, you know, one
• 53:04
  does have to consider these things. Payroll's
• 53:06
  not cheap. It is not so our our well wishes of
• 53:10
  course to John and for all the no agenda producers
• 53:12
  that are out there list that are here and This
• 53:14
  show because we're you know, we're media deconstruction
• 53:17
  shows. Those are our homies and big inspirations
• 53:19
  for us So Godspeed to Iraq feel better and hope
• 53:23
  yeah avoid infection and hope you heal up and
• 53:25
  and you are not in pain As somebody who just
• 53:28
  went through post -op is going through post -op
• 53:30
  stuff man. I wish you no pain Value for value
• 53:37
  really do be like that The time, the talent,
• 53:40
  or the treasure is the way you can return value
• 53:43
  to the show. And that means, for one, I don't
• 53:47
  think we've mentioned in a couple shows, big
• 53:49
  value returned is telling people about the show.
• 53:52
  Word of mouth is how things grow in the most
• 53:56
  organic and robust way possible. So if you like
• 54:00
  the show, please tell people about it when you
• 54:03
  find yourself in these sorts of conversations.
• 54:04
  Just keep us in mind. Send people the link. Yeah,
• 54:08
  word of mouth, huge value returned. That would
• 54:10
  be the time portion. Tell your friends, tell
• 54:13
  your enemies, you know, I mean, my goal is to
• 54:16
  kind of make everybody upset. So. Well, we're
• 54:19
  going to get to that in the second half of show.
• 54:21
  I can't wait. And so that would be the time portion.
• 54:25
  The talent portion is any sort of, you know,
• 54:29
  audio or visuals you'd like to cut together,
• 54:31
  show art or art, you know, stuff like you're
• 54:34
  hearing on the show clips, news clips, whatever.
• 54:38
  any correspondence you want to send us, there's
• 54:40
  a send us a message button at the bottom of our
• 54:42
  website. All of this, by the way, is at no ID
• 54:44
  show .com. And the treasure on the ground reports,
• 54:47
  hot tips, they go follow ups. Actually, we've
• 54:50
  had great, we really appreciate the follow ups
• 54:52
  on topics we tackle. And the inside dish on some
• 54:54
  of those things for people who are conveniently
• 54:56
  placed in positions to know more than we do.
• 54:59
  We appreciate that quite a bit. And then also
• 55:01
  the interactions we get where sometimes Scott
• 55:04
  or I usually me might say something that's slightly
• 55:07
  inaccurate or not quite on the nose and we get
• 55:10
  a correction. And I do actually appreciate that
• 55:12
  because we strive for factual consistency and
• 55:16
  objective truth. So, you know, when you're, when
• 55:19
  you're spitting things the way we are at the
• 55:20
  pace we are, it's important to be well informed
• 55:23
  and factually correct. So we appreciate that.
• 55:25
  And I know actually our second half of the show
• 55:26
  is going to tackle some of that, a gentleman
• 55:28
  who's contributed in that way. And I'm looking
• 55:30
  forward to breaking that down. Absolutely. And
• 55:33
  the treasure portion. Is donations to the show
• 55:37
  financial treasure is obviously huge needless
• 55:40
  to say and that can be done in a number of ways
• 55:43
  Patreon is available for One -time donations
• 55:46
  or recurring donations signing up for those is
• 55:49
  extremely helpful and any amount there's some
• 55:52
  pre There's some like predetermined tiers there
• 55:55
  on the page you can sign up for you can pick
• 55:57
  a number or you can do Venmo or PayPal and pick
• 55:59
  a any number, whatever is an important number
• 56:02
  to you. We love numerology. We love, uh, you
• 56:05
  know, whatever important dates or by the way,
• 56:07
  speaking of that, you know, the row of ducks
• 56:08
  is fun. The shiny Schmeckle thing is fun. I enjoy
• 56:11
  those. Those are good. The last thing about,
• 56:13
  uh, John and his, um, and his heart attack, uh,
• 56:16
  you know, the big, the magic number is, uh, 33
• 56:18
  always has been, uh, he had his heart attack
• 56:21
  on three, three. Did he really? Isn't that, isn't
• 56:25
  that crazy? I guess suppose that's I mean, not
• 56:28
  to put this kind of voodoo on the poor guy, but
• 56:30
  that's kind of like us discussing my number 13
• 56:32
  and then me going down. Well, aha. Yep. Weird.
• 56:36
  Henceforth and right after. I know, I know you
• 56:38
  put things out there. I don't believe in that
• 56:40
  kind of crap. No, of course not. All right. Go
• 56:44
  to no ID show dot com and help Paul, you know,
• 56:48
  pay cover his medical costs for his busted Achilles,
• 56:51
  even though he doesn't believe in the unlucky
• 56:52
  number 13. No, yeah show the low low price of
• 56:56
  like a thousand dollars a month. You too can
• 56:58
  take care of a broken podcaster Let's do second
• 57:08
  half of show This is from the ranch podcast hosted
• 57:14
  by Matt Todd We brought him up on the last show
• 57:16
  and we have some more correspondence to share
• 57:19
  and but before we do that I wanted to play I
• 57:22
  was listening to his interview with and he it's
• 57:24
  It's not easy to keep up on. I mean, the guy's
• 57:26
  doing like 11 million interviews every day. It's
• 57:29
  crazy, the work ethic. Seriously, we're proud
• 57:33
  of ourselves. We're doing once a week, and this
• 57:34
  guy's doing like five interviews a day. I don't
• 57:36
  know how a guy with two first names can be so
• 57:40
  prolific. It's impressive. Can you imagine what
• 57:43
  he would be like if he had three first names?
• 57:46
  I can only imagine what he'd be like if they
• 57:48
  were hyphenated. Here's Democrat Melissa Wintrow
• 57:53
  on his show. And they were discussing, of course,
• 57:58
  as all the news, all of the scuttlebutt at the
• 58:02
  Capitol, the budget cuts. I want you to hear
• 58:05
  the type of language that people like Melissa
• 58:07
  Wintrow use when given a long -form forum and
• 58:12
  a microphone, and you get to hear some of her
• 58:14
  stream of consciousness. I mean, these cuts are
• 58:17
  killing people, literally. And we could right.
• 58:21
  I mean, now, obviously, this was like, I don't
• 58:23
  know, a 40 minute interview, maybe even longer.
• 58:25
  So this was, you know, just a select portion
• 58:28
  of it. But this from where I'm starting it through
• 58:32
  here, there's either no edits or very there's
• 58:34
  probably actually no edits. I mean, it's not
• 58:36
  like I cut that together from something else.
• 58:38
  She just was like, yeah, you're if you're for
• 58:41
  cutting the budget, you're a murderer. I mean,
• 58:43
  these cuts are killing people literally. And
• 58:47
  we could easily stop this and get out of this
• 58:50
  mindset of cutting and that we don't have enough
• 58:53
  to say we do have enough. We can use some of
• 58:56
  the rainy day funds and we don't have to use
• 58:57
  all of them. Just some of them will help a ton.
• 59:00
  Reduce all this stress. Let the revenue stabilize.
• 59:04
  Keep our government running and quit bashing
• 59:07
  it into the ground. Let me tell you, I got an
• 59:09
  email from a state employee before we continue
• 59:11
  on bashing it into the ground. I would like to
• 59:15
  remind everybody that these agencies, most of
• 59:19
  which shouldn't exist and are not the appropriate
• 59:21
  role of government, most of these agencies are
• 59:25
  all of them getting 96 % of their budget, 98
• 59:31
  % of their budget. The over -the -top language,
• 59:36
  we're bashing it into the ground by only giving
• 59:40
  them 98 % of their budget. I also want to, so
• 59:44
  100%. But I also want to highlight the fact that
• 59:47
  how blithely, willingly they are to, that was
• 59:54
  poor grammar, how blithe and willing they are
• 59:56
  about the rainy day fund. That's for emergencies.
• 1:00:01
  This is not an emergency. In their, in their
• 1:00:03
  mind, any, any, if you take one penny out of
• 1:00:06
  the jar, it's an emergency. Yeah, I know. And
• 1:00:10
  that is the way these people think you are not
• 1:00:12
  wrong, but they are wrong. Uh, this is just the
• 1:00:15
  inability to make the ends meet because the state
• 1:00:17
  does more than it's supposed to do by a long
• 1:00:19
  shot. And you can't have it both ways. You can't,
• 1:00:22
  you can only skin people so deep until you're
• 1:00:25
  cutting muscle and bone and, and people just
• 1:00:27
  are, have had enough of it. And Idaho tends to
• 1:00:29
  have a little bit less of a tolerance for it.
• 1:00:33
  Um, more than we should still, but less than
• 1:00:36
  most other places like California where they'll
• 1:00:38
  just, just govern me harder, daddy, cut me some
• 1:00:40
  more. In Idaho, a little less of that, but still
• 1:00:44
  too much. These people can't fathom the fact
• 1:00:46
  that maybe you're not supposed to be doing all
• 1:00:48
  of this. These are budgeting issues. This is
• 1:00:53
  not an emergency. I immediately think of, at
• 1:00:58
  the moment she mentioned the rainy day fund and
• 1:01:00
  how she was about it, I just thought, if you
• 1:01:02
  don't run your household this way, you can't.
• 1:01:05
  You cannot run household economics this way.
• 1:01:08
  And I guarantee you, she doesn't. So it's okay
• 1:01:13
  for the government to do it because it's other
• 1:01:15
  people's money and you're buying power with other
• 1:01:17
  people's money But and you can grandstand all
• 1:01:20
  day about it too and pretend that you get the
• 1:01:22
  moral credit for helping others It was money
• 1:01:25
  extracted through force, but you would never
• 1:01:27
  dream of touching the rainy day fund Because
• 1:01:30
  it's broken or we have to replace a major appliance
• 1:01:33
  or I fell down the stairs and broke my leg or
• 1:01:37
  I was playing basketball and snapped my Achilles.
• 1:01:39
  That's an emergency. That's how you, that's when
• 1:01:41
  you use the rainy day fund. You don't use the
• 1:01:42
  rainy day fund because I want to go to massage
• 1:01:46
  therapy once a week and that's expensive. So
• 1:01:50
  I said I need to do it once a month, but if I
• 1:01:52
  don't go every week, well, I'm dying a little
• 1:01:55
  bit faster. I'm killing myself. Revenues stabilize,
• 1:01:59
  keep our government running and quit bashing
• 1:02:02
  it into the ground. Let me tell you, I got an
• 1:02:05
  email from a state. They're the reasonable ones
• 1:02:07
  and we're the unreasonable ones. Our thing is
• 1:02:11
  live within your means personally and government
• 1:02:13
  wise. And their response is you're a monster.
• 1:02:17
  You're bashing us into the ground. You're a murderer.
• 1:02:20
  I got an email from a state employee who said,
• 1:02:23
  thank you for saying that for state employees.
• 1:02:25
  Let me tell you how my life is. Couple of her
• 1:02:28
  colleagues actually have two roommates so they
• 1:02:31
  can pay the bills and she talked about how she
• 1:02:33
  was collecting aluminum cans around the office
• 1:02:36
  in the neighborhood to get in more money for
• 1:02:38
  her rent. I couldn't believe like state employees
• 1:02:42
  Hashtag that never happened many raises were
• 1:02:44
  raising their insurance and so they're actually
• 1:02:46
  gonna go backward in their pay scale This is
• 1:02:50
  how we're I don't care and work for the state.
• 1:02:52
  We're not get a different job There's something
• 1:02:55
  more productive with your life. There's so much
• 1:02:56
  to unpack there. Like, okay, oh my god. Your
• 1:03:00
  job depends on thieving from me. Get bent. Well,
• 1:03:05
  you don't understand, dude. I mean, she has to
• 1:03:07
  suffer the indignity of having roommates. She
• 1:03:10
  should have a single family house to herself.
• 1:03:13
  I have four roommates. A wife and three children.
• 1:03:17
  And they take everything I have. No, I can't
• 1:03:19
  even split rent five ways or mortgage five ways
• 1:03:22
  with them. You know, I mean, I'll tell you what
• 1:03:23
  the perks with my immediate roommate, they're
• 1:03:26
  pretty good. You know, I dig that. But see, I
• 1:03:31
  mean, preventing you from wanting to no clip
• 1:03:33
  right out of this simulation. That's you guy.
• 1:03:38
  It's the sex. That's the sound. One of the things
• 1:03:44
  that. drives me bonkers is how Democrats in particular
• 1:03:48
  are the worst about this, but Republicans are
• 1:03:50
  guilty of it too, is they talk about how work
• 1:03:54
  is undignified, especially certain kinds of work.
• 1:03:58
  And they use this same thing for immigration,
• 1:04:00
  right? Going back to the immigration issue where
• 1:04:01
  it's like, well, without illegal immigration,
• 1:04:02
  who will mow our lawns and pick our fruit? As
• 1:04:04
  if it's a lower kind of work. Like it's too good
• 1:04:07
  for Americans. We admit that it's too good for
• 1:04:09
  Americans. It's a lowly job and we need illegal
• 1:04:12
  immigrants to do it. Well, this idea that, uh,
• 1:04:15
  and they had to go out there and collect cans
• 1:04:17
  to make the ends meet. Well, you know what? I've
• 1:04:21
  shoveled mule shit for 5 .25 an hour. I've bucked
• 1:04:25
  hay for $7 an hour. And if you talk to most people
• 1:04:29
  who start out as productive individuals and never
• 1:04:31
  quit being productive and work from an early
• 1:04:33
  age, like I did, because work is. Work is sanctifying.
• 1:04:37
  Work is dignifying. It doesn't matter what work
• 1:04:39
  you're doing. We are designed by God to work.
• 1:04:44
  And life is hard. You got bills to pay. Like
• 1:04:47
  the idea that somebody's got to maybe take a
• 1:04:49
  second job. And in this case, this never happened.
• 1:04:51
  I guarantee you this never happened. It's so
• 1:04:54
  over the top. It's a farce. They did not go collect
• 1:04:57
  aluminum cans to go make rent. And on the off
• 1:05:02
  chance that it is true. then they deserve to
• 1:05:05
  be collecting aluminum cans to make ends meet.
• 1:05:08
  Because if you're so uncreative and so unproductive
• 1:05:10
  and unintelligent of a human being, of course,
• 1:05:12
  state employees, so I'm being redundant here,
• 1:05:15
  that you can't figure out another way to make
• 1:05:17
  more than a nickel per can, I'll tell you what,
• 1:05:21
  I'll give you a spoon and I'll have you dig a
• 1:05:23
  pool in my backyard and I'll pay you $5 an hour
• 1:05:27
  and you'll still make more doing that than you
• 1:05:29
  are collecting cans. You're an idiot and you
• 1:05:31
  deserve to be poor. She had to have a side hustle.
• 1:05:34
  This is inhumane. She should be getting rich
• 1:05:37
  working for the state It's it galls me and it
• 1:05:41
  is it's a victimhood mentality is where it's
• 1:05:43
  rooted and it's this idea that work unless it's
• 1:05:47
  the exact kind of work that we think is Good
• 1:05:52
  the good kind of work then everything else is
• 1:05:53
  undignified God forbid we have to do something
• 1:05:56
  that might be considered undignified To make
• 1:05:58
  stuff happen to make things work man as a business
• 1:06:01
  owner And you know this too, Scott, there's a
• 1:06:04
  million undignified things we've had to do where
• 1:06:07
  it's like, not, not where we've compromised our
• 1:06:09
  principles or compromised our morals, our ethics,
• 1:06:12
  but things where we're just like, we're up in
• 1:06:14
  the attic, like, you know, wearing a respirator,
• 1:06:16
  cleaning up rat crap, uh, you know, be like,
• 1:06:19
  whatever, just cleaning the space while we're
• 1:06:21
  doing the demo before we can build our place.
• 1:06:23
  Like it's dirty, it's sweaty, it's all nighters,
• 1:06:26
  you know, for both places that I built, I painted
• 1:06:29
  the damn walls myself. I scraped the goo off
• 1:06:32
  the floors so we could lay down a different,
• 1:06:34
  you know, ripped up the carpet and scraped the
• 1:06:35
  goo off of like, I got my hands dirty. I got
• 1:06:38
  the blisters and even when we're running the
• 1:06:41
  business and we're successful, I'm still the
• 1:06:42
  guy who is sometimes cleaning the bathrooms because
• 1:06:46
  no one else sees it and we'll do it. Sometimes
• 1:06:48
  cleaning. the grease trap underneath the sink
• 1:06:50
  where the stuff builds up because employees aren't
• 1:06:52
  that great. Even the good ones aren't that great.
• 1:06:54
  They don't, it's not theirs. So they don't see
• 1:06:56
  all the stuff and you know, a lot of people are
• 1:06:59
  kind of a not my job kind of person anyways,
• 1:07:00
  or they're, I'm not, you don't pay me enough
• 1:07:02
  to do this. So the owner picks up the slack or
• 1:07:04
  other productive people in their own settings,
• 1:07:07
  pick up the slack anyways, long winded. But the
• 1:07:09
  point is you can tell like there's so much to
• 1:07:11
  unpack just with this, the idea that certain
• 1:07:15
  work is dignified and certain work is not. you
• 1:07:18
  should only ever have to work eight hours a day,
• 1:07:21
  four and a half days a week to make the ends
• 1:07:23
  meet. And if you have to work more than that,
• 1:07:25
  well, oh my God, it's so unfair. It's killing
• 1:07:28
  people. The fact that cutting, yeah, it's literally
• 1:07:31
  killing people. You know, a 2 % cut is the end
• 1:07:34
  of the world. We're going to raid the rainy day
• 1:07:36
  fund for something that is a budgeting problem,
• 1:07:39
  not an emergency. It's and so on and so forth.
• 1:07:41
  I mean, there's just so much here. There is,
• 1:07:43
  and we're going to run out of show here. I still
• 1:07:45
  have a little bit more to play from this. Yeah,
• 1:07:46
  and I'm going to run out of battery on my phone.
• 1:07:49
  I have to bring this up because I looked a little
• 1:07:51
  bit into Melissa Wintrow's background because
• 1:07:53
  you mentioned the victim mentality. I'm going
• 1:07:56
  to try and state this as articulately as I can
• 1:07:59
  without being, I screw up the word articulately,
• 1:08:01
  that's ironic, but without being presumptive.
• 1:08:04
  But I suppose there's going to have to be a little
• 1:08:06
  bit of that here, so forgive me in advance. Melissa
• 1:08:08
  Wintrow Was a producer of the vagina monologues
• 1:08:14
  in Boise earlier in her career. Oh Now say no
• 1:08:17
  more if you look up the origin of the vagina
• 1:08:21
  monologues and its creator its creator was Just
• 1:08:26
  as a victim as victim gets the entire thing is
• 1:08:30
  premised around assault and she was sexually
• 1:08:34
  abused by her father for many many years and
• 1:08:37
  then she had the you know, the horrible string
• 1:08:38
  of abusive relationships, of course, you know
• 1:08:40
  in her like Yeah, spoiler alert for anybody who
• 1:08:42
  isn't familiar with the vagina monologue monologues
• 1:08:46
  Vagina monologues. It's not as fun or sexy as
• 1:08:49
  it sounds. It's actually the opposite It's a
• 1:08:51
  it's a hundred miles a bad road. Yep. So in other
• 1:08:54
  words what I'm trying to say is you know, the
• 1:08:56
  aggressive facial piercings, the tattoos, all
• 1:08:59
  that stuff that came with it and then later,
• 1:09:01
  you know, becoming a, just sort of doing it in
• 1:09:04
  an outgoing way and creating this thing that
• 1:09:07
  became a cultural phenomenon in the 90s. There
• 1:09:10
  is something about that, how do I say it? Like,
• 1:09:15
  you know, if you get into that, like, I don't
• 1:09:17
  know anything about Melissa Wintrow's personal
• 1:09:19
  background. It would surprise me if a lot of
• 1:09:22
  that stuff was not the case for her too. There
• 1:09:25
  does seem to be something that when that sort
• 1:09:29
  of stuff happens to you when you're younger,
• 1:09:31
  this is the sort of person you become when you're
• 1:09:33
  older, every perpetual victimhood and seeing
• 1:09:35
  the world through that lens. If your childhood
• 1:09:39
  is like X, you are more likely, significantly
• 1:09:43
  more likely in some cases, to be like Y in your
• 1:09:47
  adulthood and so on and so forth. It's like the
• 1:09:50
  statistic that boys who grow up in a home without
• 1:09:52
  a father are like a hundred percent more likely
• 1:09:55
  to commit crime. Now, I think, you know, that's
• 1:09:57
  not actually the statistic. It's probably less
• 1:10:00
  than that. And I'm being a little hyper hyperbolic
• 1:10:02
  here, but it's the truth. Fatherless homes are
• 1:10:04
  bad and the results speak for themselves. Same
• 1:10:07
  thing here with women who, who are like this
• 1:10:11
  gal and have the, have the mentality that they
• 1:10:13
  do guarantee you we can check some or all of
• 1:10:16
  the boxes of what, you know, what happened to
• 1:10:18
  her. or how she was wired or how she was raised,
• 1:10:21
  because nothing bad necessarily even has to happen
• 1:10:24
  to her. It's just how her parents raised her
• 1:10:25
  or the environment or a combination of all of
• 1:10:27
  those things. Let's finish this before we run
• 1:10:31
  out of show. This is how we're taking care of
• 1:10:33
  business. We're not. I mean, it's shameful to
• 1:10:36
  me. Well, I agree with her there. Could you run
• 1:10:39
  a business this way? You're not a business We
• 1:10:42
  don't run a business again. I think I said this
• 1:10:44
  on your show before When you look at the budget
• 1:10:46
  documents on the website, you'll see the population
• 1:10:48
  and inflation have soared and the budget is a
• 1:10:52
  flat line regardless of For the last two decades,
• 1:10:56
  if you factor in inflation and population, we
• 1:10:58
  are still at a flat line. We have not grown this
• 1:11:02
  budget out of control. What people will say is,
• 1:11:04
  oh, the budget's growing. Well, of course it
• 1:11:05
  is, nominally, because of inflation and so forth.
• 1:11:09
  But if you put those other two factors in there,
• 1:11:11
  we are not doing what we should. We have over
• 1:11:15
  a billion dollars of school facilities. repairs
• 1:11:20
  that are needed. We cut school funding again.
• 1:11:23
  I mean, I don't want to hear it. We are not doing
• 1:11:25
  well, and this legislature is failing Idaho.
• 1:11:28
  There, I said it. A lot of the school districts
• 1:11:31
  have tens of millions of dollars. In fact, the
• 1:11:37
  school district 271, which is in Coeur d 'Alene,
• 1:11:39
  is one of the top five most wealthy districts
• 1:11:41
  in the entire state, and they have tens of millions
• 1:11:43
  of dollars at their disposal. The Boise districts,
• 1:11:46
  they have hundreds of millions of dollars at
• 1:11:48
  their disposal. They never talk about that, but
• 1:11:50
  they actually, they have money in the bank, so
• 1:11:53
  to speak, like hard cash money. And it is also
• 1:11:57
  known, well known, if you look that a lot of
• 1:12:00
  these districts have a lot of the money because
• 1:12:04
  of the COVID funds that were dispersed four or
• 1:12:06
  five years ago that still haven't been spent
• 1:12:08
  or fully haven't, have not fully been spent.
• 1:12:10
  There is a ton of cash that they're sitting on
• 1:12:14
  that they're not willing to spend. Now the rural
• 1:12:16
  districts, they get hosed pretty hard. And that's,
• 1:12:19
  that's by default. That's just kind of how everything's
• 1:12:22
  designed, but you don't see the urban districts
• 1:12:25
  that are sitting on millions and millions of
• 1:12:26
  millions of dollars offering the rural districts
• 1:12:28
  any help. No, they're just soaking. They just
• 1:12:29
  want to pass another bond or soak the taxpayer
• 1:12:32
  more or bitch and moan at the legislature Boise
• 1:12:35
  saying, give us more, give us more. There is
• 1:12:38
  money, plenty of money. There is. And again,
• 1:12:41
  you know, we've already covered this part, but
• 1:12:42
  the vast majority of the Idaho budget is already
• 1:12:44
  spent on education. What more data do you need?
• 1:12:48
  Last part of it with regard to federal dollars.
• 1:12:51
  There are some folks that won't vote on anything
• 1:12:54
  because it's federally funded, and they're overly
• 1:12:58
  concerned, I think, about national debt, which
• 1:13:01
  I'd like to see that same concern come into fruition
• 1:13:04
  when we're talking about tax cuts and how that
• 1:13:06
  increases the debt. And can't see, you know,
• 1:13:12
  really the benefits of government and the importance
• 1:13:16
  of taking that federal funding because that's
• 1:13:18
  because we're paying attention. So, yeah, you'll
• 1:13:20
  see people just foot drag and never vote for
• 1:13:22
  those kind of things, even if it does mean it'll
• 1:13:25
  benefit the welfare of our state. So, yeah, I
• 1:13:27
  don't for one, I don't know what's so funny.
• 1:13:29
  Like what's she laughing about when we're talking
• 1:13:30
  about tax cuts and how that increases? Why is
• 1:13:34
  that so funny? Like physically? In the world
• 1:13:38
  we live in, where physics exists, tax cuts don't
• 1:13:41
  increase the debt. Spending increases the debt.
• 1:13:46
  This is so basic, it hurts me in my heart that
• 1:13:50
  I have to explain it. But Paul, you're just,
• 1:13:54
  you're failing to see the benevolent overlord
• 1:13:57
  godlike nature of government. The benefits of
• 1:14:00
  government. The benefits of government. The benefits
• 1:14:03
  of government. You just don't get the benefits
• 1:14:05
  of government, man. You just don't get it. You
• 1:14:06
  just don't say, how much more data do you need?
• 1:14:08
  You just don't get it. Hold still while we thrust
• 1:14:11
  benefits at you. I'm very benefited. Poor Matt
• 1:14:15
  has to sit across from the table from this lady
• 1:14:18
  and not... and just kind of hold his tongue.
• 1:14:20
  I mean he doesn't hold his tongue like he participates
• 1:14:22
  plenty and he's a he's a good host but uh man
• 1:14:25
  I could not do the show he's doing let's put
• 1:14:27
  it that way as is abundantly clear yeah yeah
• 1:14:30
  there's a reason why we're doing what we're doing
• 1:14:32
  and he does what he does we're near the end here
• 1:14:36
  and a couple more and I do want to maybe we'll
• 1:14:38
  save it actually um some of the stuff with Matt
• 1:14:41
  do you mind saving it I think we'll make this
• 1:14:44
  is it well we're We're making this decision in
• 1:14:46
  real time. I think it's a good idea to table
• 1:14:48
  it, but I absolutely want to lead out with it
• 1:14:51
  on our next show. And we're going to have to
• 1:14:55
  make sure people have this last clip with this
• 1:15:00
  Winthrop gal in their minds so that there's context
• 1:15:04
  for why we're doing what we're doing. Like it's
• 1:15:07
  a little bit of a teaser, Matt Todd brought up
• 1:15:09
  some salient points in response to a lot of what
• 1:15:13
  we said on the last podcast regarding budgetary
• 1:15:15
  issues in the state. And none of them were wrong
• 1:15:18
  or inaccurate, but I want to address them a bit
• 1:15:21
  deeper and more properly because it's perspective
• 1:15:25
  and narrative and premise and lens, the lens
• 1:15:27
  to which we view the world all matters. And a
• 1:15:29
  lot of what I say, and Scott as well, I don't
• 1:15:32
  mean to speak for Scott, but I know that it's
• 1:15:34
  the same thing too. But here I go. But here I
• 1:15:36
  go is that a lot of what we say carries already
• 1:15:40
  the, the inferred understanding of these things.
• 1:15:43
  We're like, I, we know things are this particular
• 1:15:46
  way X, Y, Z, but we also believe vehemently that
• 1:15:50
  they shouldn't be. And so what we say sort of
• 1:15:54
  carries with it, the, the understanding, especially
• 1:15:58
  if you guys know us that like, we know this,
• 1:16:02
  but it's all horrible and bullshit and shouldn't
• 1:16:04
  exist. I'm going to be a, um, a grammar Nazi
• 1:16:09
  fine point on it. And it's, it's actually the
• 1:16:11
  problem is because you say, well, we're inferring,
• 1:16:14
  we're implying it. The problem, the problem is
• 1:16:17
  that it isn't inferred by many people. And so
• 1:16:20
  therefore they, it's the, the, it's not sort
• 1:16:23
  of taken in the spirit in which it's intended,
• 1:16:25
  uh, because they, we assume that the lens we're
• 1:16:28
  implying is being inferred, but it isn't correct.
• 1:16:32
  Yeah. And a lot of that too is that I've spent
• 1:16:34
  the last 15, Well, 20 years really progressing
• 1:16:36
  from what would be a Bush junior voting neocon
• 1:16:41
  to a conservative, to a conservative libertarian,
• 1:16:44
  to a libertarian, to, I guess, to a constitutionalist
• 1:16:48
  and to a, a minarchist, then a liberal, a full
• 1:16:51
  blown libertarian, and then a full blown anarcho
• 1:16:52
  -capitalist. And I spent 20 years making that
• 1:16:54
  progression. And it's in politics, history, geography,
• 1:16:59
  civics, economics, are all things I love. I read
• 1:17:02
  on them daily. And that doesn't make me the foremost
• 1:17:04
  authority or an expert, but I know what I'm talking
• 1:17:07
  about. And because I have spent so much time
• 1:17:11
  doing that, a lot of concepts that to me are
• 1:17:13
  just like automatic that I know are not inferred
• 1:17:16
  by others. And the premise from which I'm starting,
• 1:17:19
  I'm sometimes way away from the premise someone
• 1:17:21
  else is starting from because they haven't spent
• 1:17:24
  the 10, 20 years grappling with all of the concepts
• 1:17:27
  like taxation being theft or you own Your, you
• 1:17:30
  know, self ownership, for example, you talk about
• 1:17:32
  self ownership and people immediately aren't
• 1:17:34
  quite sure that that's a basic concept to me.
• 1:17:36
  You own yourself. And if you own yourself and
• 1:17:39
  everything else flows out from there and your
• 1:17:42
  principles are dictated by that and so on and
• 1:17:45
  so forth. Anyways, so a lot of what I say. You
• 1:17:49
  know, it's hard to for others to infer necessarily.
• 1:17:52
  So anyways preface This is a long preface But
• 1:17:55
  so when we do address some of these things from
• 1:17:57
  Matt Todd and I haven't actually spoken with
• 1:17:59
  him personally I don't know him personally by
• 1:18:01
  all accounts. He's a good guy. Scott's mainly
• 1:18:02
  done the interacting with him When we go to do
• 1:18:05
  this, it's not to attack or defend it's more
• 1:18:09
  to clarify and Also, I do love so much engaging
• 1:18:13
  on these sorts of things to the point where I
• 1:18:14
  hope we get to have Matt with us for a podcast,
• 1:18:18
  or maybe he'll have us with him. I don't know,
• 1:18:20
  one or the other or both. I think that all of
• 1:18:22
  that is in the future. Yeah, I hope so, because
• 1:18:25
  it'll be so much fun to suss a lot of this out
• 1:18:27
  from all of our perspectives combined. It'll
• 1:18:32
  be really fun, I think. And actually from all
• 1:18:34
  the back and forth that we have, I don't actually
• 1:18:36
  think we're really very far apart. I think we
• 1:18:38
  have a lot more in common than we don't. He's
• 1:18:41
  getting a hell of a lot of specifics thrown at
• 1:18:43
  him on a daily basis. Now I kind of want to just
• 1:18:45
  do that and end the show with it. But you make
• 1:18:47
  the call, Scott. It's yours. So either we end
• 1:18:49
  the show with it or we start the next one. We're
• 1:18:51
  going to table it. We're going to lead off the
• 1:18:52
  next show. In the meantime, I just want to do
• 1:18:54
  a couple more quick ones, mostly because I have
• 1:18:57
  this. I like this actually, because now Matt
• 1:18:58
  gets to just like hang on the edge of a seat
• 1:19:01
  and wonder like, what's that? What's that crazy
• 1:19:02
  asshole Paul going to do next episode? I'm coming
• 1:19:05
  for you, Matt. I'm coming for you. Jingle that
• 1:19:09
  I want to play is the reason that I want to do
• 1:19:12
  this. Ask Paul instead. Here comes the question.
• 1:19:15
  Big or small, make your guess before we call.
• 1:19:17
  The game begins. It's Ask. Brought to you by
• 1:19:21
  Pfizer. When state lawmakers are accused of bad
• 1:19:25
  behavior, State House justice begins with an
• 1:19:28
  ethics trial. Under a new bill introduced Monday,
• 1:19:31
  those trials in the Idaho House would no longer
• 1:19:33
  be open to the public. The proposal from Republican
• 1:19:36
  Representative Vito Barbieri would keep all ethics
• 1:19:40
  proceedings secret. That's unless a committee
• 1:19:42
  finds a member has violated the law, didn't disclose
• 1:19:45
  conflicts of interest, or otherwise their conduct
• 1:19:48
  was unbecoming of a legislator. Here's Barbieri.
• 1:19:52
  Because this is an internal matter, because this
• 1:19:54
  is an ethics issue within the House itself, the
• 1:19:57
  only time that anything would come out would
• 1:19:59
  be when the Ethics Committee makes a report to
• 1:20:01
  the whole House as to a recommendation of an
• 1:20:04
  ethics violation. The most recent ethics trial
• 1:20:08
  came in 2021 when a legislative intern accused
• 1:20:11
  former representative Aaron von Ellinger of raping
• 1:20:14
  her. He was later convicted of rape by an Ada
• 1:20:17
  County jury and is serving a 20 -year sentence.
• 1:20:20
  Barbieri submitted a letter to the judge in von
• 1:20:23
  Ellinger's criminal case attesting only 20 years
• 1:20:27
  for rape. What would you expect it to be? More
• 1:20:32
  than 20 years. okay well the the ask paul was
• 1:20:36
  what what did the uh letter say he was later
• 1:20:38
  convicted of rape by an aida county jury and
• 1:20:40
  is serving a 20 -year sentence barbary submitted
• 1:20:44
  a letter to the judge in von ellinger's criminal
• 1:20:46
  case attesting testing what attesting to uh the
• 1:20:53
  other dude's innocence judges what are the judges
• 1:20:58
  gonna give it to him yeah they say close enough
• 1:21:01
  attesting to his character okay Calling him,
• 1:21:04
  quote, an upstanding person, genuine in character
• 1:21:07
  and straightforward in thought, end quote. The
• 1:21:10
  bill would also exempt ethics complaint records.
• 1:21:12
  It was basically like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's
• 1:21:14
  a, he's a good guy. He's a real upstanding guy.
• 1:21:16
  And straightforward in thought. Well, I guess
• 1:21:18
  from such a letter of attestation, one could
• 1:21:20
  infer that maybe Erlinger was innocent. Yeah.
• 1:21:24
  That's why I think that's why the judges decided
• 1:21:26
  to give it to you. The bill would also exempt
• 1:21:28
  ethics complaint records from public disclosure
• 1:21:30
  and prevent attorneys from representing parties
• 1:21:33
  within the case. The proposal needs to clear
• 1:21:36
  a public hearing before it could reach the House
• 1:21:38
  floor. That is fascinating. First of all, before
• 1:21:41
  we unpack this, I just want to say I love the
• 1:21:45
  jingle. Thank you, Scott. You're welcome. That
• 1:21:48
  was my first attempt. I wasn't all that happy
• 1:21:50
  with it, but I'm glad you are pleased as punch.
• 1:21:52
  It doesn't have to be awesome. It just has to
• 1:21:54
  be about me. Yeah As the kids would say I feel
• 1:22:02
  heard or seen I don't know whatever it is kids
• 1:22:05
  are stupid So this definitely does not pass the
• 1:22:09
  eye test it definitely it makes a thinking person
• 1:22:12
  cock their head and go Why would you want that?
• 1:22:16
  But on the other hand I could see how procedures
• 1:22:19
  of that nature Could absolutely and I'm sure
• 1:22:23
  are maybe not as much in Idaho, but I guarantee
• 1:22:25
  you they are in other settings weaponized Cause
• 1:22:29
  as you and I both know, you may prevail in a
• 1:22:32
  court of law, but the court of public opinion
• 1:22:35
  is at times even more merciless and cold and
• 1:22:39
  uncaring and certainly less logical. And that's
• 1:22:41
  saying something because the bar is already crazy
• 1:22:43
  low when it comes to logic and common sense for
• 1:22:45
  the legal system anyways. So we're talking the
• 1:22:47
  lowest of low bars, but it's so easy to be guilty
• 1:22:51
  in the court of public opinion. while being innocent
• 1:22:53
  for reals or found innocent in a court of law.
• 1:22:56
  And the damage is already done. The rape of a
• 1:22:58
  name is a thing. That is a thing. And that's
• 1:23:04
  a common one that gets thrown around too, especially
• 1:23:06
  in the hashtag me too and the hashtag always
• 1:23:08
  believe her era. A lot of damage was done when
• 1:23:13
  it was really at its height a few years ago.
• 1:23:15
  And it has been done more since and still is
• 1:23:18
  being done where all it takes is an accusation.
• 1:23:22
  there goes your career potentially not always
• 1:23:25
  but potentially if you can withstand it but not
• 1:23:27
  everybody can not everybody has the money and
• 1:23:29
  the time the ability the personality the legal
• 1:23:33
  defense fund not everybody can withstand such
• 1:23:35
  a thing now this isn't me presuming innocence
• 1:23:37
  either you know yeah what do you think scott
• 1:23:40
  well i i mean i'm with you in that it doesn't
• 1:23:43
  i don't like the notion of the state doing no
• 1:23:46
  we're doing this in secret Like, no, you're representatives
• 1:23:49
  of the people. You don't get to do anything in
• 1:23:51
  secret. Yeah, I kind of think that once you once
• 1:23:54
  you work for the government, when you when you
• 1:23:56
  draw any sort of money from the government and
• 1:23:59
  are supposedly an agent or a representative or
• 1:24:01
  an employee or whatever you want to call it,
• 1:24:04
  your life is public, man, whether you like it
• 1:24:06
  or not. Too bad you chose it. Yeah, that's kind
• 1:24:09
  of my thing, too. And it's like, well, you put
• 1:24:11
  this thing and that thing can happen if it needs
• 1:24:13
  to be secret. You don't understand, Scott. Like,
• 1:24:15
  OK, maybe I don't understand. But the notion
• 1:24:17
  of the state doing anything in secret does not
• 1:24:19
  sit well. From a mainstream media deconstruction
• 1:24:22
  standpoint, I did like the part where they wanted
• 1:24:24
  to discredit by being like, oh, look, see, he
• 1:24:27
  wrote a letter for the rapist. See? No, that's
• 1:24:30
  a good catch. I did notice it. I focus on other
• 1:24:33
  stuff, but it was not lost on me. Yeah. They're
• 1:24:35
  like, Oh, and the one guy who, so the last ethic
• 1:24:38
  issue was about four or five years ago. Right.
• 1:24:40
  It was a guy who did rape and the guy who wants
• 1:24:43
  to push this bill supported the guy who did rape.
• 1:24:47
  So dear reader, make your own judgment call.
• 1:24:52
  Yes. This, this NPR podcast is brought to you
• 1:24:55
  by Pfizer by the Republicans love rape. It's
• 1:25:03
  not that far off. The final one for this week,
• 1:25:06
  and speaking of attorneys. A years long effort
• 1:25:09
  to negotiate a water rights settlement between
• 1:25:11
  the state of Idaho and the Coeur d 'Alene tribe
• 1:25:13
  ended yesterday with the signing of a new deal.
• 1:25:16
  Negotiations dated back to 2008 and included
• 1:25:19
  other stakeholders, including the city of Coeur
• 1:25:22
  d 'Alene, Benoist County, Potlatch, and its timber
• 1:25:25
  subsidiaries. Let me guess, the tribe got everything.
• 1:25:28
  Well, the way that they're presenting it is that
• 1:25:31
  everybody got everything. Oh, the tribe's happy.
• 1:25:35
  The Waterfront Resident Association is happy.
• 1:25:38
  If the tribe is happy with the deal, I'm telling
• 1:25:41
  you right now, if the tribe is happy with any
• 1:25:43
  deal ever, it's because the tribe got everything.
• 1:25:46
  They are never happy unless they win everything.
• 1:25:51
  And yet the mainstream apparatus led by Brad
• 1:25:54
  Little and Raul Malamute seem to think that everyone
• 1:25:57
  is happy. And local property owners and property
• 1:25:59
  owners associations. Governor Brad Little and
• 1:26:01
  State Attorney General Raul Labrador characterized
• 1:26:04
  the settlement as a win for local communities
• 1:26:06
  that rely on water connected to Lake Coeur d
• 1:26:08
  'Alene and tribal leaders who said the agreement
• 1:26:11
  protects their homelands. Settlement the man
• 1:26:14
  who does not live there said everyone wins Settlement
• 1:26:17
  ends years of litigation over tribal water rights
• 1:26:20
  in North, Idaho Which courts had previously affirmed
• 1:26:23
  but without ruling on specific details. Now,
• 1:26:26
  here's what's fantastic about this The fight
• 1:26:29
  has been going on since 2008. So the the legal
• 1:26:33
  battles old enough to vote Well, if the Democrats
• 1:26:36
  had their way, you know, yeah, I think 14 is
• 1:26:38
  no no no now that the now that the legal battle
• 1:26:41
  is dead now it can vote according to the Democrats.
• 1:26:47
  I just want to point out that they've buried
• 1:26:50
  the hatchet and now they can vote. In all these
• 1:26:53
  years, they can paint it as everybody winning.
• 1:26:56
  But guess who, as ever, is actually getting hosed
• 1:27:00
  in all of this? You'll never guess. Is this another
• 1:27:04
  Ask Paul? I can't wait. Here comes the question.
• 1:27:07
  Big or small, make your guess before we call.
• 1:27:09
  The game begins. It's Ask. Brought to you by
• 1:27:13
  Pfizer. Who is getting hosed in 20 years of litigation?
• 1:27:18
  White property owners. It's the other side of
• 1:27:24
  the coin. Did I win? No, judges say no. Because,
• 1:27:29
  you know, it's taxpayers, which is a lot of white
• 1:27:32
  property owners. So you mean white property owners?
• 1:27:34
  Well, not exclusively, you know. Oh no, not exclusively.
• 1:27:41
  Oh, okay. Okay. So like, but I'm like 92 % correct
• 1:27:45
  or higher. That's still an A, sir. That's still
• 1:27:48
  a problem is that the, the, one of the judges
• 1:27:51
  is from the, uh, North Idaho NAACP. So he held
• 1:27:54
  up a big no sign. Oh, well, I guess that's that
• 1:28:01
  then I lose. The, uh, the federal affirmative
• 1:28:04
  action, the, the federal government is providing
• 1:28:09
  the attorneys for the tribe. Well, they have
• 1:28:12
  to Scott legally. I know, but I'm just telling
• 1:28:15
  you what's going on. And I mean, they don't have
• 1:28:17
  to. And the tribe has so much money. They do
• 1:28:20
  legally from what I from what I read, it's a
• 1:28:22
  part of love because something you know, the
• 1:28:23
  Oh, the the reservations are held in trust by
• 1:28:26
  the US government. And then so I have to trust
• 1:28:29
  has to provide attorneys, there is legalese for
• 1:28:32
  why the federal government is doing the litigating
• 1:28:34
  on behalf of the tribe. That's however, okay.
• 1:28:37
  Okay. I mean, when it comes to Indian fair, Indian
• 1:28:39
  affairs, again, throw out logic and common sense.
• 1:28:42
  Yes. And also throw out a bet on green triple
• 1:28:44
  zero, which I hear they've added now to the wheel.
• 1:28:47
  Whoa. Whoa. Okay, so the federal government,
• 1:28:51
  whatever the legal reasons, is paying the attorneys
• 1:28:54
  for the tribe. And the state of Idaho is paying
• 1:28:56
  for the attorneys for the all the other side,
• 1:28:59
  you know, the property, the white property owners,
• 1:29:02
  and the this and the that. So in other words,
• 1:29:04
  both sides of the litigation is getting covered
• 1:29:07
  by government apparatuses. Yeah, tax dollars.
• 1:29:11
  And then they're like, wow, it went on for 20
• 1:29:13
  years. Well, wow. Wow. 20 years. I asked chat
• 1:29:20
  GPT to do a reasonable estimate, like, you know,
• 1:29:23
  based on, you know, attorney's averages per hour
• 1:29:25
  and how many paralegals and what the over 18
• 1:29:27
  years of litigation, it was closer to 20. You
• 1:29:32
  know, somebody ought to call up, uh, Wendro and
• 1:29:37
  tell her we found it. We found where the money
• 1:29:39
  went. Like you want to, you want to keep propping
• 1:29:41
  up Medicare. There it is. There was the $20 million
• 1:29:44
  that you could have reclaimed from the tribe
• 1:29:47
  or at least half of that $10 million you could
• 1:29:49
  have reclaimed from the tribe. And that ought
• 1:29:51
  to prop up Medicaid like you want to for another,
• 1:29:53
  I don't know, eight months. Well, the thing is,
• 1:29:56
  is you're not going to have, you can't, it's
• 1:29:57
  not going to be from the tribe. You're going
• 1:29:58
  to have to get it back from Dewey Cheatham and
• 1:30:00
  Howe. And that money has long since been spent
• 1:30:02
  on waterfront property. Ironically. I want a
• 1:30:08
  new matrix. Life is a scam. Ain't it grand? Guess
• 1:30:17
  we just let's go sleep with our wives. What else
• 1:30:19
  do we got? Yeah. Yep. That's that's I'm taking
• 1:30:23
  off my pants right now. Oh Thank you. So I can
• 1:30:28
  get ready for the government to fuck me Thank
• 1:30:33
  you everybody for tuning into this train wreck
• 1:30:35
  of a show known as no ID Whatever hundred miles
• 1:30:40
  of mediocre road We will how will we how will
• 1:30:44
  we pave mediocre row without the state? My God,
• 1:30:49
  the questions. I can never answer. I don't know.
• 1:30:51
  I don't have any answers for this. My libertarian
• 1:30:53
  mind has been blown. I'm going to just keep taking
• 1:30:57
  off my pants. This is the world's longest unzip.
