Hey everybody, welcome back 00:00:29.219 --> 00:00:33.679 to No ID, Idaho's mainstream media deconstruction. 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.880 I'm Scott.

Where exactly did you say? I'm 00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:22.890 not telling We live up kind of in the mountains 00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:27.250 in the mountains, that's where I'm going You 00:01:27.250 --> 00:01:29.430 were kind of telling me the the it was like an 00:01:29.430 --> 00:01:32.290 heirloom Firearm that was kind of cool. What's 00:01:32.290 --> 00:01:37.129 that about? Yeah, man, my pops At some point 00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:39.409 came by I think through family came by a matching 00:01:39.409 --> 00:01:43.590 pair of a 20 gauge and a 410 Two old shotguns 00:01:43.590 --> 00:01:45.510 that are single shot. They're pretty cool They 00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:48.109 break down in the middle with the lever and they're 00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:50.790 cheese. I think they're older than me and that's 00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:54.090 how I started and Now that's how my boy started 00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:56.549 bagged his first grass last season with the 410 00:01:56.540 --> 00:01:58.659 They'll use the 410 again this season and probably 00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:01.500 graduate up to the 20 gauge next season But yeah, 00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:03.540 I proud pop a moment man watching my son bag 00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:05.540 a grouse with the shotgun that I bagged my first 00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:08.300 cross So that's the that's the good stuff right 00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:09.960 there. That's those are the things that we live 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.979 for pretty cool Yeah, then it's the sort of thing 00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:16.060 that you would expect and hope to hear from guys 00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:19.879 doing a podcast about Idaho from Idaho and about 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.680 Idaho Yep, soon as we're done with the show. 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.939 We're gonna go use an heirloom firearm and shoot 00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:29.919 some birds with one of our multiple kids. Well, 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:32.939 I mean, I'm a native. I'm a local. And when I 00:02:32.939 --> 00:02:35.120 wear flannel, it's not ironic. And my work boots 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.479 are scuffed up and fucked up because I, well, 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.379 I work in them. So you mean you didn't buy them 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.479 from the store that they're like battered chic? 00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:50.319 No, they're they're leaked. They're leaked. Yeah. 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.900 Oh, man. But why male models? Nah, I'm legit 00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:59.439 Idaho, you know, so I've been accused on more 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.080 than one occasion over the years of being a hipster 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:03.979 looking kind of guy. And I suppose maybe at times 00:03:03.979 --> 00:03:06.180 I am. But no, the flannel is not ironic. I've 00:03:06.180 --> 00:03:07.879 always worn flannel. The work boots are actual 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:12.259 work boots. So on and so forth. Well, that's 00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:15.139 a lot of cred. Let's see if the cred will pay 00:03:15.139 --> 00:03:17.099 off. Let's start this week with an Ask Paul. 00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:20.199 Here comes the question. Big or small? Make your 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.080 guess before we call. The game begins. It's Ask. 00:03:23.949 --> 00:03:26.409 Paul brought to you by Pfizer. This is gonna 00:03:26.409 --> 00:03:28.050 be another one of those we're gonna hear the 00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:31.270 whole clip and I've bleeped out the Word the 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:33.430 what is this topic? What are they reporting on 00:03:33.430 --> 00:03:36.750 this from KTVB new this morning? They're surging 00:03:36.750 --> 00:03:39.629 across the country this year. The worst may not 00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:44.569 be over yet. This It's so good. It has every 00:03:44.569 --> 00:03:50.939 single bullet point McCaw repetition mainstream 00:03:50.939 --> 00:03:55.699 media, the CDC and experts and surging and all 00:03:55.699 --> 00:03:59.039 the buzzwords, all the good ones, just the same 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.120 up two hundred and twelve percent from one case 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:07.139 to three cases. Well, it's groundhog day again. 00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:09.780 New this morning are surging across the country 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:12.460 this year. Experts say the worst may not be over 00:04:12.460 --> 00:04:14.759 yet. Abby has more on this for us. Abby, the 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:17.699 CDC reported emergency room visits for. were 00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:21.560 up 50 % in April compared to the same time last 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.399 year. So definitely there is a rise. Yeah, that's 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.920 right, Maggie. And that same data tracker by 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.500 the CDC shows that by mid -August, related ER 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:33.540 visits had already surpassed every full August 00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:36.560 on record. They've seen significantly more data 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.319 this summer than in past years in Idaho, too. 00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:42.040 This season is generally from March to October. 00:04:42.060 --> 00:04:45.139 And so far in 2026, there have been more than 00:04:45.139 --> 00:04:49.980 1 ,700 reports in the state. Whoa. It's probably 00:04:49.980 --> 00:04:52.139 because we had a more mild winter this year. 00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:56.339 So that means season could remain a concern well 00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:59.959 into the fall here in Idaho. It's better to stay 00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:02.240 safe than sorry. So get checked by professional 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.839 if you are concerned about very concerned. Did 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:09.279 that just have everything? It's like AI made 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.939 it with just all of the same bullcrap phrasing 00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:15.139 in terms. It's so good. All right, what are they 00:05:15.139 --> 00:05:17.720 talking about? Yeah, they just inputted the usual 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.139 language they use every single time. I mean, 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.439 it's so formulaic at this point. Once you see 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:24.600 it, you can't unsee it. It's crazy. I did the 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.899 math, by the way. And because I don't know how 00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:29.500 to read these numbers, I'm not even sure. I think 00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:32.540 basically, what is 1 ,700 out of 2 .2 million, 00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.939 the population of Idaho? And it's basically like 00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:40.899 point zero zero zero zero zero seven seven two 00:05:40.899 --> 00:05:45.180 population Sarge Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's 00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:46.839 what it is because what the calculator actually 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.379 spat out at me was seven point seven two seven 00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:51.339 two seven two seven two seven two seven two seven 00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:55.139 two seven two e Dash four which I'm pretty sure 00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:58.000 means it's an exponential to the four or four 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.800 like four zeros To the to the left of this number 00:06:01.949 --> 00:06:09.449 So it would be 0 .0000772 % of the population 00:06:09.449 --> 00:06:16.470 has been struck with Talk about a mild summer 00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:22.850 or a mild winter So that made me think ticks 00:06:22.850 --> 00:06:26.649 mild winter made me think ticks or like Lyme's 00:06:26.649 --> 00:06:28.790 disease or something of that nature because ticks 00:06:28.790 --> 00:06:32.709 have been an issue lately in Idaho Bigger than 00:06:32.709 --> 00:06:34.389 they usually are mean ticks are always around 00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:38.509 but So the weather aspect of it made me think. 00:06:38.509 --> 00:06:41.370 Oh, maybe is that ticks Lyme disease and whatnot 00:06:41.370 --> 00:06:44.029 or from a Rocky Mountain fever? the other thing 00:06:44.029 --> 00:06:46.290 though, they mentioned flu like stuff, so I'm 00:06:46.290 --> 00:06:51.470 guessing that could be influenza or Measles are 00:06:51.470 --> 00:06:54.889 not the flu, but I know they've been like hammering 00:06:54.889 --> 00:06:59.089 the measles things to It's cases of something. 00:06:59.089 --> 00:07:02.050 So it's either like Rocky Mountain fever measles 00:07:02.050 --> 00:07:04.110 or influenza or something along those lines, 00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:09.550 but I'll I'm gonna go with measles Go with measles 00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:12.329 You had your first impulse was ready this morning 00:07:12.329 --> 00:07:15.709 tick -tock surging across. Yes. Okay, I get partial 00:07:15.709 --> 00:07:18.819 credit. Come on partial credit Cause I picked 00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:20.699 up on the mild winter thing. Come on. You got 00:07:20.699 --> 00:07:22.639 to give me your first partial credits. It was 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.300 completely correct. And then you talk yourself 00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:28.319 out. It was, I did too. Oh my God. Abby has more 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.120 on this for us. Abby, the CDC reported emergency 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.839 room visits for tick bites were at 50 % in April. 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.300 So it went from one to one to one and a half. 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.040 Yeah. Or two, two to three. All right, I'm not 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.000 going to play the whole thing, but there you 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.540 go. Tick bites. It's ticks is the is the panic 00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:50.800 du jour. What you should be concerned about. 00:07:51.899 --> 00:07:54.480 Funny, you should mention that I actually this 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:56.500 might be one of the few times where I raise an 00:07:56.500 --> 00:08:01.500 eyebrow, but not as not out of cynicism, as hard 00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:04.519 as usual, but more like a huh, is are we getting 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.079 a grain of truth from the mainstream media for 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.860 a change? Because once in a while, once in a 00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:11.439 while. they actually you know broken clock is 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.620 right twice a day but the mainstream media it's 00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:17.720 more like once every month but uh they're it's 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:21.180 it's a it is a worthy concern not because of 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:24.860 the ticks themselves at face value but the issue 00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:27.279 is of course is uh the limes disease that a lot 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.199 of them carry and the rocky mountain fever that 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.620 a lot of them carry both of which are not so 00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:34.879 great if you're a human and more importantly 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.879 this is where we uh that's where we put on the 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:45.379 tinfoil hats here particularly with Lyme's disease, 00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:50.500 one of the known symptoms or like ultimate lasting 00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:53.340 effects that you get, even if you kind of can 00:08:53.340 --> 00:08:54.700 get over it, because I don't know if you ever 00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:57.019 are fully treated and cured from Lyme's disease, 00:08:57.019 --> 00:09:00.440 but you can get treatment and not die from it, 00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:03.460 is the inability to eat meat. It's a certain 00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:06.019 kind of proteins that you can no longer consume 00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.679 or it'll flare up and get you really good. I 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.460 thought that was Alpha Gal from the Lone Star 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:14.059 tick. Is that... Is that a different way to say 00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:16.279 Lyme or is that the same symptom for both diseases? 00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:22.220 I believe it might be different symptoms but 00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:24.700 same overall effect. Let me look it up. I'm going 00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:27.200 to look it up in real time. Let me see if the 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.460 robot can do it before you can. As concisely 00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:32.480 as possible, describe the differences if there 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.039 are any between Lyme disease and alpha -gal syndrome. 00:09:37.299 --> 00:09:41.299 Checking. They're very different. Lyme disease 00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:45.000 is a bacterial infection spread by ticks, treated 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.860 with antibiotics. Alpha -gal syndrome is an allergic 00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:52.539 reaction triggered by a tick bite, causing delayed 00:09:52.539 --> 00:09:57.240 allergic symptoms after eating mammal meat. Yeah, 00:09:57.639 --> 00:10:00.179 that all tracks, but that wasn't the question. 00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:04.320 The question was, can Lyme's disease have a similar 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.019 thing going on with consumption of meat? As precisely 00:10:09.019 --> 00:10:11.889 as possible, Can Lyme disease cause that same 00:10:11.889 --> 00:10:17.110 allergic reaction when you eat mammal meat? That's 00:10:17.110 --> 00:10:20.789 a big one. I'll give you that. No, Lyme disease 00:10:20.789 --> 00:10:23.909 itself doesn't cause that meat allergy. That's 00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:26.710 alpha -gal syndrome, a different immune reaction 00:10:26.710 --> 00:10:29.750 triggered by certain tick bites, not the Lyme 00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:33.509 bacteria. I have no idea why it was English. 00:10:33.509 --> 00:10:36.789 Here's what I'm seeing. Apparently, a lot of 00:10:36.789 --> 00:10:39.580 it matters. I didn't know this. Apparently, it 00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:42.159 depends on what tick you get bit by. Lime's disease 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.700 is primarily spread by the black -legged tick, 00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:46.899 while alpha -gal syndrome is primarily triggered 00:10:46.899 --> 00:10:48.980 by the Lone Star tick. And you did mention that 00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:50.899 earlier, the Lone Star tick. But I didn't know 00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:55.779 that it was exclusive to one particular brand 00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:58.659 of tick. Yeah. Well, and I think there's a whole, 00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:00.679 you know, I think my understanding is that the 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.340 Lone Star tick is the product, it's like a DARPA 00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:06.100 creation. Like it's not even, it's not a product 00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:09.529 of nature. I'm being somewhat tongue -in -cheek, 00:11:09.549 --> 00:11:14.009 but kind of not really. Well, no, there is a 00:11:14.009 --> 00:11:20.470 lot of worthwhile evidence that points to man 00:11:20.470 --> 00:11:24.909 -made the alpha -gal syndrome thing being a man 00:11:24.909 --> 00:11:27.409 -made thing. The bio -weapon. I'm a little fuzzy 00:11:27.409 --> 00:11:29.549 on the details, but I've seen and heard enough 00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:31.669 to go, okay, that actually tracks. This could 00:11:31.669 --> 00:11:34.320 make a lot of sense. especially because the timing 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.480 of it also makes you go, hmm, you know, we're 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.980 seeing a rise in tick bites from the Lone Star 00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:43.000 tick that carry this alpha -gal syndrome. You're 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.240 seeing a lot more of it over the last 10 years, 00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:48.639 more than maybe ever, ever. And at the same time, 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.559 it has been in the last 10 years where they've 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.899 straight up admitted to us their agenda to get 00:11:53.899 --> 00:11:57.740 us to eat crickets and, you know, to enjoy bug 00:11:57.740 --> 00:12:01.100 protein. I mean, Again, as always, they tell 00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:03.960 us the truth if you listen. They've been telling 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.080 us for over a decade to our faces, like, meat 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.720 is bad, eat bugs. This is the future. You're 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.500 gonna own nothing, eat bugs, and be happy. And 00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:16.360 then once you know it, alpha -gal syndrome becomes 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.360 a real thing that a lot of people are dealing 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.460 with in the same time period. And, you know, 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:27.519 hmm. So unrelated to limes then, but nevertheless. 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:32.120 on brand for the lizard people who rule us and 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.320 the bureaucrats to allow it. Yeah. Oh, you know, 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.600 you know, in the Philippines, cockroaches are 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:40.659 a delicacy. There's always or there's like an 00:12:40.659 --> 00:12:44.559 ABC report on this new creek, the grasshopper 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.120 powder that's going into this delicious grasshopper 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.919 snack. And then there's a, you know, a Klaus 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.370 Schwab type gets up and with a you know, little 00:12:53.370 --> 00:12:56.149 earpiece microphone gives a Ted talk at Davos 00:12:56.149 --> 00:12:58.529 about how we, you know, we're going to sit global 00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:00.690 sustainability because bugs are going to replace 00:13:00.690 --> 00:13:02.769 meat. And then when guys like you and I are like, 00:13:02.870 --> 00:13:04.769 hey, man, they want us to eat bugs. It's like, 00:13:04.809 --> 00:13:06.830 oh, you guys are just a bunch of conspiracy. 00:13:07.029 --> 00:13:09.529 Like, no, the conspirators tell you. They're 00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:11.690 proud of their telling us. Yeah, they're literally 00:13:11.690 --> 00:13:14.320 telling us. Every year they get together and 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.240 Davos every year Yeah, they give the TED talks 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.000 every year and then it's always under the guise 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.200 of course of climate change and public safety 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.580 and you know, we can't keep doing this to the 00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:25.080 planet so we have to eat crickets because my 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.860 cow farts the cow farts are killing the planet 00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:31.259 and Meanwhile these these same people who talk 00:13:31.259 --> 00:13:34.259 about all this Fly around in their private jets 00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:37.240 and burn more fuel in one trip than you and I 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.720 will in our entire lifetimes and They're eating 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.830 steak Wagyu hand massaged beef man like these 00:13:44.830 --> 00:13:47.110 are the people who whose meals are a thousand 00:13:47.110 --> 00:13:52.889 dollars a plate wherever they go so yeah is this 00:13:52.889 --> 00:13:55.309 some sort of peasant joke that i'm too rich to 00:13:55.309 --> 00:14:00.539 understand Yeah, let's hold still while we feed 00:14:00.539 --> 00:14:03.539 you bugs Also, maybe maybe they're gonna add 00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:05.120 ticks to the menu. Maybe that's what's going 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.659 on here, too They're just getting us used to 00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:09.539 the idea your ticks ticks every well Yeah, but 00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:12.519 they're like think of them as the corn nuts of 00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:14.700 nature. You just pop them in your mouth crunch 00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:19.919 mmm They're real peppery Yeah, yeah real protein 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:26.070 rich filling Let's do Oh here, you know what? 00:14:26.090 --> 00:14:28.509 We were sent this article. Thank you guys, value 00:14:28.509 --> 00:14:31.789 for value. Everyone that has sent in links and 00:14:31.789 --> 00:14:36.029 articles and quote news reports and stuff. This 00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:38.870 was sent in, he asked to remain anonymous. He 00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:41.990 did say that, well let's play the clip first. 00:14:42.490 --> 00:14:48.840 It is regarding a temporary levy. Either get 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.320 a temporary levy passed or potentially have to 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.980 let go to close to a third of their entire fire 00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:56.220 personnel. That's the reality. Oh, no. The Northern 00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.679 Lakes Fire District is phasing right now. Creme 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.620 2's Christian Garza has more tonight. Either 00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:05.559 get a new temporary levy passed or potentially 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.059 have to let go of close to one third of their 00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:11.419 fire personnel. Could reflect on that. We need 00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:14.799 to get yet another temporary levy passed. Temporary 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.960 levy. OK. Yeah, I was just heading that direction. 00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:20.419 You and I were meeting at the same point at the 00:15:20.419 --> 00:15:23.539 same time. I was like, uh -huh. Uh -huh. You 00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.639 keep using that word. I do not think it means 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.019 what you think it means. That's the reality that 00:15:30.019 --> 00:15:31.940 Northern Lakes Fire District is having to face 00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:36.480 right now. When an emergency call comes in, there's 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.320 no time to think about budgets or balance sheets. 00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:43.169 Don't think! There's only time to respond. But 00:15:43.169 --> 00:15:46.110 for the people answering those calls, the cost 00:15:46.110 --> 00:15:49.049 of being ready is going up. Northern Lakes Fire 00:15:49.049 --> 00:15:51.929 District is asking voters for another temporary 00:15:51.929 --> 00:15:56.110 levy, this time worth $4 .5 million over two 00:15:56.110 --> 00:15:59.009 years. We're pretty far. Is that all that that's 00:15:59.009 --> 00:16:01.629 it? That I'm surprised they didn't say only. 00:16:01.929 --> 00:16:04.110 We're pretty far stretched and you know for us 00:16:04.110 --> 00:16:08.100 we can't afford to. to lose anybody. Kevin Crawford, 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:10.399 the fire chief for Northern Lakes Fire District, 00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:12.960 says the money would go to helping keep the 21 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.360 fire personnel the district was able to hire 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.759 with its last temporary levy. Chief Crawford 00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.720 says the main reason for the million dollar increase 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.659 is due to the inflation of safety gear. I mean 00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:28.159 our message is inflation. You point this out 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:30.860 just came out of nowhere it inflated you point 00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:33.059 this out all the time which is that whenever 00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:36.159 these quote temporary or it's just it's a one 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.000 -time or it's They're gonna build the park and 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:43.240 it's only gonna cost X amount of money What about 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:46.580 later? When you use all that temporary slash 00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:49.580 one time slash just gonna build it money What 00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:51.559 about when the bill comes due to keep the things 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:53.500 all the people you hired the park you built? 00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:57.950 What do you do then? Ask for another temporary, 00:16:58.110 --> 00:17:01.330 Levy. It's temporary! It's only temporary, though. 00:17:02.070 --> 00:17:04.609 And this one only raises your property taxes 00:17:04.609 --> 00:17:09.150 by $100 per $100 ,000 of value of your home, 00:17:09.269 --> 00:17:12.470 which, in the Northern Lakes District... Assessed. 00:17:12.490 --> 00:17:16.130 Oh, excuse me, of assessed value, yes. My bad. 00:17:16.529 --> 00:17:19.029 And coincidentally, in unrelated news... Do you 00:17:19.029 --> 00:17:23.150 know any properties? Go ahead. In unrelated news, 00:17:23.589 --> 00:17:25.569 we've doubled the assessed value of your property. 00:17:26.399 --> 00:17:30.160 Oh, well, I mean inflation. It's inflation. Duh. 00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:33.019 Inflation did it. Yeah. And of course, the best 00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:35.259 part for them is that out there in the Northern 00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:36.980 Lakes Fire District, which basically encompasses 00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:40.180 Athol, parts of Spirit Lake, Bayview, you know, 00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:43.400 it's all, it's all big acreage stuff, you know, 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.839 minimum, mostly, mostly minimum of like five 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.299 acres. All the properties out there, I don't 00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:49.660 know if there's any out there that would ever 00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:51.299 list for less than a million now at this point, 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.759 which is kind of wild when you think about it, 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.079 because growing up, going back to that, I'm an 00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.180 Idaho local who actually wears an ironic flannel 00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:59.720 thing, Athol used to be where the poor people 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.880 lived. We know in the last 20 years nobody would 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:09.559 know this but for ever until about 2010 Athol 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.000 is where poor people it's all rich people most 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.380 of whom 90 % of whom are not from here at all 00:18:14.380 --> 00:18:16.500 They all moved in they bought acreage out there 00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:18.279 because acreage was cheap and then acreage is 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.220 no longer cheap at all out there Nothing is cheap 00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:22.299 out there and everything's broken up into five 00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:26.390 ten fifteen twenty acres. So They're just chomping 00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:28.609 at the bit out there, them taxing districts, 00:18:28.750 --> 00:18:31.049 because you say something like, oh, and it's 00:18:31.049 --> 00:18:35.390 only, it used to be, it used to be $92 per 100 00:18:35.390 --> 00:18:37.630 ,000 of assessed value. Well, all we're doing 00:18:37.630 --> 00:18:42.130 is raising it by $10. Now it's gonna be $102 00:18:42.130 --> 00:18:45.569 per $100 ,000 of assessed value. And you're thinking, 00:18:45.569 --> 00:18:48.450 oh, well, that's not too bad, you know, 450 ,000, 00:18:48.569 --> 00:18:51.589 500 ,000. That's 500 and change a year, which 00:18:51.589 --> 00:18:54.099 is still. Fuck ton if you ask me. But most of 00:18:54.099 --> 00:18:56.299 these properties are assessed at like the millions. 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.559 Starting bid is a million on most of this stuff. 00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.779 So your minimum for most of these properties, 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.319 your minimum bill for this is over $1 ,000 a 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:11.680 year. $1 ,000 a year for 21 firefighters and 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:14.480 this fire station. It's temporary. And you know 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.420 what you don't hear about? You never hear about 00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:20.140 the fire chief. Oh, I don't know. taking a pay 00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:22.400 cut to be able to keep some guys on anything 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.940 like that. These dudes make bank and the regular 00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.779 firefighters make bank. Has anybody ever stopped 00:19:26.779 --> 00:19:29.599 to ask what these what these guys make? It's 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:33.839 a lot. It's insane. That's why the jobs are so 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.380 sought after. The competition is fierce to get 00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:40.359 these jobs because the hours are great and the 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.980 pay is insanely good. And of course, everybody 00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.180 also looks up to them like they're God's gift 00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:48.200 to mankind or something. They're just people 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:53.640 who do a job. But you can't say no to firefighters. 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.059 I'm starting to think we should maybe try to 00:19:58.059 --> 00:20:01.859 raise some temporary funds for no ID and for 00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:04.579 podcasters everywhere What if we do a podcasters 00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:06.519 calendar where we're like, you know We're posing 00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.779 seductively in our in our podcasting uniforms 00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:12.019 next to like next to the pool table at the fire 00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:15.440 It gives you get the the like Chippendales firefighters, 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:16.940 you know, cuz they're they're worshiped like 00:20:16.940 --> 00:20:19.930 the god kings that they are Why don't we do something 00:20:19.930 --> 00:20:21.750 like that? I mean podcasters, you know, we'll 00:20:21.750 --> 00:20:24.309 have we'll have Adam and John we'll have we'll 00:20:24.309 --> 00:20:25.930 have Adam Corolla we'll have you know, we'll 00:20:25.930 --> 00:20:29.069 have some of the Mark Mount Rushmore podcaster 00:20:29.069 --> 00:20:30.789 guys and we'll just have them, you know, just 00:20:30.789 --> 00:20:33.390 with their six -pack abs We'll use AI, you know, 00:20:33.390 --> 00:20:36.410 I feel like we could raise some money that way 00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:41.069 And they would people would chief says the main 00:20:41.069 --> 00:20:43.970 reason for the million -dollar increase is due 00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:46.730 to the inflation of safety gear I mean our mission 00:20:46.730 --> 00:20:49.039 is we're asking for what we need We're not asking 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:51.660 for anything extra. The district says for property 00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.819 owners, the difference between what they're already 00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:55.700 paying and the proposed levy. Have you ever heard 00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:58.119 any of them ever say like, no, we're asking for 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.000 this because we want to buy an ice cream machine. 00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:03.180 Oh, they always say no, no, it's for essentials. 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.180 It's always for essentials. And then the ice 00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:07.700 cream machine just shows up. It's just the things 00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:10.420 we need. And again, for everyone that hears this 00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:12.789 stuff. Ice cream is good for morale. So if you 00:21:12.789 --> 00:21:14.690 guys had your houses on fire, you wouldn't care 00:21:14.690 --> 00:21:16.950 if anybody showed up. Is that it? You guys hate 00:21:16.950 --> 00:21:19.410 firefighters. Is that it? This is how like so 00:21:19.410 --> 00:21:21.690 many people hear this stuff. They just can't 00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:23.670 make the decision. I just hate government employees. 00:21:23.670 --> 00:21:27.670 I won't. And and how the media presents it deconstructing 00:21:27.670 --> 00:21:30.049 how this is from KREM Channel to how they're 00:21:30.049 --> 00:21:32.950 presenting it. It's always a it's always pro 00:21:32.950 --> 00:21:36.910 take more of your money to reallocate your money 00:21:36.910 --> 00:21:39.970 to other people's salaries. And you can't opt 00:21:39.970 --> 00:21:43.630 out. Even how they start the story is like, when 00:21:43.630 --> 00:21:46.490 Tom, Dick, and Harry, your friendly neighborhood 00:21:46.490 --> 00:21:49.470 firefighters who live next door and are loving 00:21:49.470 --> 00:21:52.009 husbands who love their families and need a good 00:21:52.009 --> 00:21:54.750 paying job, when they're out there saving your 00:21:54.750 --> 00:21:56.650 house, they're not thinking about their bills, 00:21:56.990 --> 00:21:59.809 they're thinking about you. There's no time to 00:21:59.809 --> 00:22:02.970 think about the bills, citizens, so pay up through 00:22:02.970 --> 00:22:05.930 the nose or you are heartless. It drives me. 00:22:06.009 --> 00:22:09.250 fucking bonkers. You know what, privatize it. 00:22:09.349 --> 00:22:10.869 We need to privatize it just like anything else. 00:22:10.910 --> 00:22:14.670 You know what they it's they're not heroes. They're 00:22:14.670 --> 00:22:18.109 people who do a job like everybody else. They 00:22:18.109 --> 00:22:20.930 voluntarily took the job like everybody else. 00:22:21.269 --> 00:22:26.470 I get so bent out of shape over especially especially 00:22:26.470 --> 00:22:30.549 first responders getting lionized like they're 00:22:30.549 --> 00:22:32.990 just so awesome and amazing. And so let's give 00:22:32.990 --> 00:22:34.630 them all the money we can possibly give them. 00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:36.670 No, man, you know who's awesome and amazing? 00:22:36.869 --> 00:22:40.049 Like the linemen who keeps my power running in 00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:43.990 a storm and works for a vista. Nobody ever lionizes 00:22:43.990 --> 00:22:47.130 those guys, but those dudes are in it. They're 00:22:47.130 --> 00:22:50.750 in the shit. Like those guys are the heroes. 00:22:52.150 --> 00:22:54.849 And of course, firefighters are basically glorified 00:22:54.849 --> 00:22:57.809 EMS dudes. I know this because my brother -in 00:22:57.809 --> 00:23:01.309 -law worked was trying really hard down the firefighter 00:23:01.309 --> 00:23:03.430 track for years and years and years. You gotta 00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:05.069 get every cert in the book, you gotta do all 00:23:05.069 --> 00:23:06.490 this, jump through all the hoops, you gotta know 00:23:06.490 --> 00:23:08.250 all the right people, it's super competitive, 00:23:08.269 --> 00:23:09.890 and at the end of the day, you mostly don't get 00:23:09.890 --> 00:23:13.130 a slot unless you know somebody. And the vast 00:23:13.130 --> 00:23:15.369 majority of what they do has nothing to do with 00:23:15.369 --> 00:23:17.390 firefighting and everything to do with being 00:23:17.390 --> 00:23:23.250 a glorified EMS in a big red truck. You respond 00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:27.690 to crashes, you respond to medical calls, very 00:23:27.690 --> 00:23:30.549 little of it, especially up here, is firefighting, 00:23:30.650 --> 00:23:32.890 except for when the wildfires break out. or if 00:23:32.890 --> 00:23:34.869 somebody's house happens to I mean, which is 00:23:34.869 --> 00:23:38.390 so rare. It's so rare. And it's it's not to say 00:23:38.390 --> 00:23:41.609 to that like, no heroic actions ever take place 00:23:41.609 --> 00:23:43.650 by any of the guys who do these jobs. Of course, 00:23:43.730 --> 00:23:46.690 they do. Like that, of course, say that that 00:23:46.690 --> 00:23:50.390 a lot of these guys aren't like family men who 00:23:50.390 --> 00:23:54.170 work hard and all of that is true, too. But these 00:23:54.170 --> 00:23:56.269 things remain true independent of one another. 00:23:56.630 --> 00:23:59.549 The media shills on behalf of this structure. 00:24:00.089 --> 00:24:03.609 While a lot of the individuals are just are fine 00:24:03.609 --> 00:24:05.869 good people, you know stand up members of the 00:24:05.869 --> 00:24:08.230 community whatever they're both true It doesn't 00:24:08.230 --> 00:24:10.630 mean that we hate them to an individual and it 00:24:10.630 --> 00:24:12.410 doesn't mean that these are honest presentations 00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:17.430 by the media I Mean our messages we're asking 00:24:17.430 --> 00:24:19.740 for what we need We're not asking for anything 00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:22.079 extra. The district says for property owners, 00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:24.279 the difference between what they're already paying 00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:27.740 and the proposed levy would be about $6 .90. 00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:30.779 These crews respond to emergencies from Hayden 00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:33.559 to Rathdrum and everything in between. Chief 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:35.519 Croft, they didn't even explain it properly though. 00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:38.380 All they said was $6 .90. So if you're listening 00:24:38.380 --> 00:24:40.440 to this and pass, you don't know what's actually 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.380 going on. You just think oh. Oh, it's just $6 00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:45.319 .90 more. Well, who in their right mind would 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.880 say no? No, what it is, is it goes from being 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.099 nine, I think right now the rate is like $95 00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:56.440 per $100 ,000 of assessed value on your property. 00:24:56.559 --> 00:24:59.079 So if your property is worth a million dollars, 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.400 you're paying, so divide a million by 10, right? 00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:05.339 Or divide it by, I guess, 100 ,000. That's 10. 00:25:05.920 --> 00:25:10.750 10 times 95 means your property, tax bill at 00:25:10.750 --> 00:25:13.930 least the portion of it that goes just for these 00:25:13.930 --> 00:25:16.390 guys just for the northern lakes fire district 00:25:16.390 --> 00:25:18.109 that doesn't count anything else that's just 00:25:18.109 --> 00:25:20.769 the fire district that's nine hundred and fifty 00:25:20.769 --> 00:25:25.730 dollars as it is now and they're asking for another 00:25:25.730 --> 00:25:31.309 six what was it 690 on top so okay uh 95 plus 00:25:31.309 --> 00:25:33.650 69 and i know my numbers are pretty damn close 00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:35.349 they may not be exact but they're pretty damn 00:25:35.349 --> 00:25:39.460 close so now you're 101 .9 So you're another 00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:42.960 what is that another 60? 70 some odd dollars 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.099 across a year, which doesn't seem like a lot 00:25:45.099 --> 00:25:47.480 and that's the point They try not to make it 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:49.259 seem like a lot, but you're over a thousand dollars 00:25:49.259 --> 00:25:52.319 a year A thousand dollars a year man. Just for 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.799 this ever does it's just that it's one thing 00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.000 on top of the next on top of the next It's just 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.490 it's a it's a bullet point List that's just a 00:26:00.490 --> 00:26:03.829 thousand items long and maybe not any individual 00:26:03.829 --> 00:26:06.009 one and once again like it doesn't that's all 00:26:06.009 --> 00:26:08.109 Arbitrary like what you consider to be a lot 00:26:08.109 --> 00:26:11.089 is gonna be a person a person It is again about 00:26:11.089 --> 00:26:13.490 how this is being presented by the mainstream. 00:26:13.490 --> 00:26:16.329 That was a piss poor presentation It's six dollars 00:26:16.329 --> 00:26:18.309 and ninety cents. Anyway, moving on like wait 00:26:18.309 --> 00:26:22.930 a minute. No, it's not It's not it's more than 00:26:22.930 --> 00:26:26.190 that and it's across two years so it's doubly 00:26:26.190 --> 00:26:28.829 more than that And then if you are living out 00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:31.089 there and your property is worth what most properties 00:26:31.089 --> 00:26:33.410 worth out there, it's a huge. That's a huge line 00:26:33.410 --> 00:26:37.210 item, man. And then ultimately, it's so frustrating. 00:26:37.609 --> 00:26:39.910 We go over this, I guess, week after week. But, 00:26:40.069 --> 00:26:41.730 you know, the whole like, it's only this much 00:26:41.730 --> 00:26:45.390 more. Well, fuck you, because you have 25, 30, 00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:47.970 40 different parts of the government, state, 00:26:48.329 --> 00:26:50.130 county, between state, county, city and federal, 00:26:50.210 --> 00:26:52.369 who every single season it's the same. Oh, it's 00:26:52.369 --> 00:26:54.190 only one percent more. It's only three percent 00:26:54.190 --> 00:26:56.349 more. It's only six dollars and 90 cents more. 00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.619 You add it all up and all of a sudden we're at 00:26:58.619 --> 00:27:03.059 50%, man. Like what they take from us, and that's 00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:05.980 just what's seen. Like what we can actually see 00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:08.119 is a line item tax. It's somewhere in the realm 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.420 of 40 to 50 % at this point that is stolen from 00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:14.059 us. That doesn't count the shit that is unseen, 00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:17.160 which is basically goods and services we pay 00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:21.009 more for. because of fees, regulations, and taxes 00:27:21.009 --> 00:27:23.289 that we don't even see on the other side of the 00:27:23.289 --> 00:27:25.609 counter that get baked into the price of what 00:27:25.609 --> 00:27:30.470 we pay because the end user always pays. And 00:27:30.470 --> 00:27:33.250 that's us. We're the end user. And there's no 00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:35.470 opt out to any of it. So it's like, well, so 00:27:35.470 --> 00:27:38.029 you guys are like, if there's an option to like, 00:27:38.289 --> 00:27:40.650 uh, now you're okay. You have an option and your 00:27:40.650 --> 00:27:42.829 house is on fires. You would opt for these guys 00:27:42.829 --> 00:27:45.170 not to show up. First of all, I don't know. You 00:27:45.170 --> 00:27:47.549 didn't give me that choice. I don't even know 00:27:47.549 --> 00:27:49.410 what that world would look like because you don't 00:27:49.410 --> 00:27:52.089 ever give anyone that choice. You just. Okay. 00:27:52.150 --> 00:27:53.410 I don't know. Let's finish this stupid clip. 00:27:53.509 --> 00:27:55.269 I'm going to. Yeah. Well, it would also force 00:27:55.269 --> 00:27:58.180 competition. Yeah, no, I mean, that's my beef 00:27:58.180 --> 00:28:01.019 is like, I don't think cops shouldn't exist. 00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:02.799 I think they shouldn't exist in this form as 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.920 a monopoly. Same thing with firefighters. That's 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.660 the point. It shouldn't be monopolized by one 00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:11.859 Leviathan antiquated entity that will kill me 00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:14.559 if I resist, extract it from me, whether I want 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.500 it or not, and then has no incentive to provide 00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:20.579 the services I want because they don't have to. 00:28:20.900 --> 00:28:23.619 I want it all privatized. I would sign up for 00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:27.079 a private a private thing. Perhaps, or I might 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.799 not. That's on me. It's up to me. But it would 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:32.700 definitely run better and cost less. Chief Crawford 00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:35.960 says if this new levy does not pass, it will 00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:38.839 directly affect those who need help in the future. 00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:40.940 We would have to go back to probably two man 00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:44.140 stations, you know, what we were at in 2018, 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.079 2019, you know, and that would be devastating 00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:51.539 with the growth here. Something else that bears 00:28:51.539 --> 00:28:56.950 mentioning is the nature of all of the reasons 00:28:56.950 --> 00:29:00.769 given for why every why these whatever districts 00:29:00.769 --> 00:29:02.609 entities find themselves in this position and 00:29:02.609 --> 00:29:06.029 it's referred to constantly we've of course discussed 00:29:06.029 --> 00:29:09.230 it as has you know infinity other places the 00:29:09.230 --> 00:29:11.509 inflation everything's going up oh the fire truck 00:29:11.509 --> 00:29:15.390 that used to be 700k is now 1 .3 million so everything 00:29:15.390 --> 00:29:17.869 is inflated all of the equipment is inflated 00:29:17.869 --> 00:29:19.730 they don't mention the salaries and benefits 00:29:19.730 --> 00:29:24.019 but those get inflated and the huge influx, the 00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:25.799 growth, the inflation and the growth, the inflation 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:29.240 and the growth. When you boil down the causes 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.900 for why did this place, why did North Idaho and 00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:35.960 Idaho in general explode in population in the 00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:39.660 last six years? Why did that happen? Well, I 00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:41.660 think we've discussed it ad nauseam as has many, 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:46.900 people like me, my archetype came here because 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.519 of what the state did to us in our former even 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.920 more totalitarian locales. So the state drove 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.740 us here. That drove the population increase was 00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:59.359 how the state behaved. Then the inflation was 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.299 also caused by the state because they turned 00:30:01.299 --> 00:30:04.440 on the Fed money printers and devalued the currencies 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:07.519 ridiculously in the last six years. So literally, 00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:10.400 you got like a someone who is employed by the 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.180 state who's incentivized to keep the money rolling 00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:15.799 in because that's how he draws his salary, explaining 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.210 that the state Doing this and the state doing 00:30:18.210 --> 00:30:20.029 that is the reason even though he doesn't say 00:30:20.029 --> 00:30:21.990 that you see what I'm saying It's also circular 00:30:21.990 --> 00:30:25.109 this all comes down to one thing and then now 00:30:25.109 --> 00:30:27.269 we're told that this apparatus that caused all 00:30:27.269 --> 00:30:29.849 of it in the first place Simply needs to extract 00:30:29.849 --> 00:30:32.210 just a little bit more from us temporarily this 00:30:32.210 --> 00:30:36.410 one time Yeah, meanwhile inflation also has hit 00:30:36.410 --> 00:30:39.240 all of us. It's almost as if they just don't 00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:41.920 care or forget or just it does it doesn't connect 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.019 like our budgets are getting blown apart because 00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:47.599 of inflation. And all of us down below them as 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:50.900 the normal people are like, yeah, we know we 00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:55.140 buy groceries. Leave us alone, please stop taxing 00:30:55.140 --> 00:31:01.240 us. Our wages didn't go up. Unlike Unlike the 00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.119 government, unlike the state, we can't vote a 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:06.799 raise for ourselves. We can't just be like, oh, 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:09.200 all in favor of extracting more from the peasants, 00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:11.819 say aye. We don't get to do that. We are the 00:31:11.819 --> 00:31:14.640 peasants. We're the end users. So we're the ones 00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.799 who get extracted. Wild, man. It is wild stuff. 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.240 Watching these guys talk about how they need 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.940 more money is just it's so gnarly. We need this 00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:30.440 money. We need this money. Let's as long as we're 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.180 on that. Here's the here's my schools from KTVB. 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.700 Our top story here tonight. I was public school 00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:39.859 funding formula has not been updated for decades, 00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:43.119 so now state education leaders are pushing for 00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.539 major changes to it. Aspen Schumpert spoke to 00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:46.940 the Department of Education today and Aspen. 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:48.720 It sounds like they're planning on bringing this 00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.119 up during the next legislative session. Yeah, 00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:52.819 and the department says this model is going to 00:31:52.819 --> 00:31:54.539 reflect what they've been hearing from school 00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:57.359 administrators, parents, families across the 00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.380 state who have an input. on how they want to 00:31:59.380 --> 00:32:03.119 see dollars going to classrooms. Updating the 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:05.859 funding formula has been a conversation, a serious 00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:10.400 conversation for a decade or more in our state. 00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:12.619 Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education 00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:15.220 Chief Financial Officer, says the state hasn't 00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:17.619 updated its public school funding formula since 00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:22.579 1994. Why do they do that? Why do they read the 00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:25.430 news to us? while having another conversation 00:32:25.430 --> 00:32:28.089 going on in the background. That is so irritating. 00:32:28.309 --> 00:32:30.809 I don't understand that. Can you guys go to a 00:32:30.809 --> 00:32:33.109 quiet room, please? Or can you have your segment 00:32:33.109 --> 00:32:35.150 producer tell the people in the background to 00:32:35.150 --> 00:32:37.569 pipe down for 30 seconds? I know it's crazy. 00:32:37.690 --> 00:32:40.150 They're like loudly discussing behind the guy 00:32:40.150 --> 00:32:42.450 with the lav mic. Well, I'm pretty sure they 00:32:42.450 --> 00:32:44.950 set this up where it's like a prerecorded on 00:32:44.950 --> 00:32:47.890 top of another recording type thing so that they 00:32:47.890 --> 00:32:50.730 could absolutely not have that background conversation 00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:54.599 going on. I don't actually I don't know if it 00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:56.700 was in this particular. Yeah. But well, both 00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:58.579 versions happen all the time. What you just described 00:32:58.579 --> 00:33:00.700 happens all the time. And then being in noisy 00:33:00.700 --> 00:33:02.859 rooms where people are just loudly conversing 00:33:02.859 --> 00:33:05.299 right behind the camera guy also happens. Either 00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:07.900 way, I don't know why it's impossible to interview 00:33:07.900 --> 00:33:10.859 Gideon Tolman, the CFO of a state apparatus in 00:33:10.859 --> 00:33:13.000 a quiet space. But apparently it's impossible. 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.180 You want to guess how much Gideon Tolman makes? 00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:23.960 Oh, is he a superintendent? He is the state superintendent. 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:26.380 Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education, 00:33:26.420 --> 00:33:31.380 chief financial officer. Oh, OK. I bet the CFO 00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:36.519 for the Idaho cartel known as Education, this 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.680 dude probably makes over a quarter of a mil. 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:43.279 He's somewhere between 250 and 350. Well, from 00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.319 what I could tell, it's and it's we just have 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:48.299 a we have a base salary that's public record, 00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.579 and that's more like 150. Yeah, but that does 00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:54.559 not include all of the, of course, benefits packages. 00:33:54.779 --> 00:33:57.940 Yep. And that was you got retirement contributions, 00:33:58.299 --> 00:34:00.740 health insurance, dental and vision, life insurance, 00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:03.019 employer payroll taxes and other state benefits 00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:06.099 that are maybe not. public or weren't easily 00:34:06.099 --> 00:34:09.539 findable. So you probably right. You probably 00:34:09.539 --> 00:34:12.719 have per diems for when he travels, you have 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:14.800 guaranteed cost of living adjustments. I'm sure 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:16.960 there's housing allowance stuff baked into there 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.059 somewhere. He may not even he may drive a rig 00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:23.199 that belongs to the school district. So he doesn't 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:25.260 pay for his own rig that stuff happens sometimes 00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:28.719 to did the platinum benefits alone are worth 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:31.159 easily another problem 50 to 100k guaranteed. 00:34:31.730 --> 00:34:33.909 That's how this stuff works. This is that's also 00:34:33.909 --> 00:34:36.309 how they do it. So to save on payroll. Sure, 00:34:36.329 --> 00:34:39.469 of course. Now this is the expert that the mainstream 00:34:39.469 --> 00:34:41.710 media is going to feature to explain to us why 00:34:41.710 --> 00:34:43.869 we need a different funding model for public 00:34:43.869 --> 00:34:46.130 schools. Gideon Tolman, Idaho Department of Education 00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:48.710 Chief Financial Officer, says the state hasn't 00:34:48.710 --> 00:34:51.110 updated its public school funding formula since 00:34:51.110 --> 00:34:54.429 1994. We need to make some updates to reflect 00:34:54.429 --> 00:34:57.190 the changes that have happened in those years. 00:34:57.409 --> 00:34:59.929 Changes like major population boom, technology 00:34:59.929 --> 00:35:02.170 advancements, and a growing number of students 00:35:02.170 --> 00:35:04.670 who need more resources. The Jem State funds... 00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:09.070 That's not true. Enrollment has been decreasing. 00:35:10.769 --> 00:35:13.650 That's one of the issues because the funding, 00:35:14.449 --> 00:35:17.389 that is a lie. That is one of the issues with 00:35:17.389 --> 00:35:19.369 the funding formula that has been brought up 00:35:19.369 --> 00:35:22.409 is that when you get paid per student, but you're 00:35:22.409 --> 00:35:25.630 losing, you're hemorrhaging students, then you 00:35:25.630 --> 00:35:27.849 get less money. And that's one of the big beefs 00:35:27.849 --> 00:35:30.409 right now going around the Idaho public school 00:35:30.409 --> 00:35:34.130 system. They are not, I mean, maybe some districts 00:35:34.130 --> 00:35:36.630 are growing, but there is only a handful of districts 00:35:36.630 --> 00:35:40.670 that are growing. As a state, and on the average, 00:35:41.309 --> 00:35:43.730 the public education system is losing students, 00:35:43.829 --> 00:35:46.690 even in Idaho. It's not as fast in Idaho as it 00:35:46.690 --> 00:35:49.550 is in other places, but it's to the tune of something 00:35:49.550 --> 00:35:51.889 like one or 2 % over the last couple of years. 00:35:53.130 --> 00:35:55.449 Let's hear one more time how they phrase that. 00:35:59.389 --> 00:36:07.869 A growing number of students who need more resources. 00:36:08.030 --> 00:36:10.849 Okay, so it even got me the first time around. 00:36:11.090 --> 00:36:12.610 You're right, I had to replay it a second time. 00:36:12.809 --> 00:36:15.769 Basically, not that the districts are growing 00:36:15.769 --> 00:36:18.309 and that there are more students, but that there 00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:21.630 are more students who need... more resources, 00:36:21.750 --> 00:36:23.829 whatever that means, I guess. Less total, more 00:36:23.829 --> 00:36:28.849 per. More per, yeah. Wow. Yeah, isn't it interesting 00:36:28.849 --> 00:36:30.809 though that it even got you when it blows right 00:36:30.809 --> 00:36:33.869 past you, but that's exactly what they are attempting 00:36:33.869 --> 00:36:35.929 to do. That's the impression that it is meant 00:36:35.929 --> 00:36:43.090 to leave. Oof. Oof. Gotcha, bitch! Man, he even 00:36:43.090 --> 00:36:47.889 got me. But unlike most of them, I had a retort 00:36:47.889 --> 00:36:49.989 ready to rock where it's like, no, no, I actually 00:36:49.989 --> 00:36:52.170 know what's going on here. What you've just said 00:36:52.170 --> 00:36:54.650 is a lie. It turns out what they've said. Well, 00:36:54.789 --> 00:36:57.849 we didn't actually technically say it. Yeah, 00:36:58.090 --> 00:37:02.349 it's not a bald -faced lie, but it's a non -truth, 00:37:02.489 --> 00:37:08.119 which to me is the same as a lie. What motivation 00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:10.820 could the CFO possibly have for talking about 00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:13.039 changing the, I mean, you know, it's almost like 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:15.639 the people whose own interest is deeply involved 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.039 in the way that this whole thing works, maybe 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:24.139 want more money again. They're very good at masking 00:37:24.139 --> 00:37:27.400 themselves as a legitimate private entity. And 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.639 then when you really pull everything back and 00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:32.119 you pull these layers back, you realize who you're 00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:33.719 dealing with. You're dealing with the cartel. 00:37:34.219 --> 00:37:37.179 I would like to ask the robot so we can get some 00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:41.360 specific percentages. Over the last five years, 00:37:41.699 --> 00:37:44.099 as concisely as possible, give me the public 00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:46.539 school enrollment percentages in Idaho. Are they 00:37:46.539 --> 00:37:53.159 going up or going down? One sec. If you mean 00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.519 public school enrollment, it ticked out slightly 00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:01.179 through 2023 -24, then declined for two years. 00:38:01.389 --> 00:38:04.829 So it's down over the last five years span. From 00:38:04.829 --> 00:38:11.550 roughly 314 ,000 in 2023 -24 to about 310 ,000 00:38:11.550 --> 00:38:16.889 in 2025 -26. So down overall. But you'll notice, 00:38:17.449 --> 00:38:21.389 Chauncey said over a five year span, it decreased, 00:38:21.690 --> 00:38:25.909 which means, which means that, so it had an uptick 00:38:25.909 --> 00:38:29.739 between 23 and 24, a small uptick. but that means 00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:34.960 it was decreasing before 2324 and after 2324. 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.900 Yes, and down over the last five years. So which 00:38:37.900 --> 00:38:40.440 is why they have to phrase it the way that they 00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.320 do because enrollment is down. So wouldn't that 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.679 mean you need less money? Yep. Well, and if, 00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:52.139 if so even so even AI is sort of, uh, sort of 00:38:52.139 --> 00:38:55.179 doing the new speak type thing, because if If 00:38:55.179 --> 00:38:58.420 enrollment had only been decreasing from 24 -25 00:38:58.420 --> 00:39:02.039 and 25 -26, then the time span Chauncey used 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:04.900 would have been three years, or two years even, 00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:09.579 not five. But he used five years. So it was decreasing 00:39:09.579 --> 00:39:15.079 before 23 -24 and decreasing after 23 -24. So 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:18.860 sort of like saying it started at 325 ,000, then 00:39:18.860 --> 00:39:25.799 went down to 320, then went down to 310, and 00:39:25.799 --> 00:39:29.900 then ticked back up to 314 and then ticked back 00:39:29.900 --> 00:39:40.059 down the next two years. Surge! A 50 % increase 00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:43.480 in students that need a lot of resources. Well, 00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:45.039 and it's interesting too, because, you know, 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.119 it gives me the text of what I said, my exact 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.079 words over the last five years, as concisely 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:50.639 as possible, give me the public school enrollment 00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.320 figures, sorry, enrollment percentages in Idaho. 00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.039 Are they going up or going down? The answer is 00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:58.760 down. It didn't give you the percentages. You're 00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:01.119 right, it did not. That's interesting. I asked 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:03.500 for percentages, it gave me hard numbers. It 00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:06.360 gave you hard raw numbers. Why did it say it 00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.179 ticked up? It leads with, it ticked up slightly 00:40:09.179 --> 00:40:12.199 through 23 through 24. But I said over the last 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:14.719 five years, as concisely as possible, what are 00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.579 the enrollment percentages? Are they going up 00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:19.300 or going down? For some reason, it picks an arbitrary 00:40:19.300 --> 00:40:22.500 year in that window where it ticked up and it 00:40:22.500 --> 00:40:24.449 leads with that. What does that have to do with 00:40:24.449 --> 00:40:29.829 what I asked? Newspeak, dude, it's so it's everywhere. 00:40:30.190 --> 00:40:33.250 Even the AI has it. Wow. All right. Let's keep 00:40:33.250 --> 00:40:35.590 going on. Well, it's almost like AI has been 00:40:35.590 --> 00:40:39.570 designed by our lizard overlords. Well, weird. 00:40:39.969 --> 00:40:41.550 Well, you think you think they're going to give 00:40:41.550 --> 00:40:44.750 you a tool like that that isn't that hasn't already 00:40:44.750 --> 00:40:48.010 been trained and curated the way they want? Like 00:40:48.010 --> 00:40:50.409 there's no way that they'll give us a tool to 00:40:50.409 --> 00:40:54.929 tear off our own shackles. Yeah. Changes like 00:40:54.929 --> 00:40:57.530 major population boom, technology advancements, 00:40:57.909 --> 00:40:59.829 and a growing number of students who need more 00:40:59.829 --> 00:41:02.329 resources. The Gem State funds public schools 00:41:02.329 --> 00:41:04.809 based on average daily attendance. Essentially 00:41:04.809 --> 00:41:07.710 what it takes to staff a classroom. And so there's 00:41:07.710 --> 00:41:11.170 a portion of a teacher, a portion of a classified 00:41:11.170 --> 00:41:13.929 staff, and an administrative staff to support 00:41:13.929 --> 00:41:17.829 a classroom. Are you a special education student? 00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:25.170 OK. Did I keep going? No, I'm just going, yeah, 00:41:25.289 --> 00:41:29.789 okay, that was all word salad. You see, it takes 00:41:29.789 --> 00:41:33.750 staff to staff the staff. And then there's a 00:41:33.750 --> 00:41:36.289 staff to support the staff when the staff needs 00:41:36.289 --> 00:41:40.150 a staff support staff. Are you a special education 00:41:40.150 --> 00:41:43.489 student or an English language learner or an 00:41:43.489 --> 00:41:46.969 economically disadvantaged student or in an alternative 00:41:46.969 --> 00:41:51.590 program? And those students require more resources. 00:41:51.849 --> 00:41:54.170 Why does an economically disadvantaged student 00:41:54.170 --> 00:41:56.070 require more? Aren't they going to school for 00:41:56.070 --> 00:42:02.309 free already? Do you walk in is public education? 00:42:02.489 --> 00:42:04.610 I mean, I haven't been in for 20 years. I graduated 00:42:04.610 --> 00:42:08.710 in 06. But things change so much that if you 00:42:08.710 --> 00:42:11.070 walk in and they're like, hey, take this questionnaire, 00:42:11.150 --> 00:42:12.789 you take it like, oh, it turns out you're poor. 00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:15.159 Come with us. They lead you into another section 00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:16.559 of the school. They're like, this is for the 00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:19.519 poor kids where we give you more stuff or more 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:22.079 resources. Welcome to the poor wing. Well, that 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:23.739 section has an ice cream machine. There's more 00:42:23.739 --> 00:42:27.179 resources. Oh, that's where the ice cream is 00:42:27.179 --> 00:42:29.960 good for morale. Tolman says the current model 00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:32.000 worked well when everyone was going to their 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:34.500 neighborhood schools. But now there are other 00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:36.719 options like charter schools and online learning. 00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:40.940 Yes, probably past time to take a look at how 00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:44.860 to better. incorporate those other elements into 00:42:44.860 --> 00:42:47.960 our funding formula. This summer. So what you 00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:50.159 have is we finally figured out a way to starve 00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:52.280 these bastards of the money because that's the 00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.000 only way to beat the government at its own game, 00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:56.780 literally just to starve them of cash any way 00:42:56.780 --> 00:43:01.340 you can. And the answer was to do alternative 00:43:01.340 --> 00:43:04.059 schooling. And now our generation, Scott, yours 00:43:04.059 --> 00:43:06.639 and mine, we're really doing it in a way that 00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:10.809 hasn't been seen in 100 years or more. And now 00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:13.989 the schools are like, oh, this formula doesn't 00:43:13.989 --> 00:43:17.510 work. Like they're down three whole percent and 00:43:17.510 --> 00:43:20.329 the formula is already failing them because it's 00:43:20.329 --> 00:43:22.210 not enough money. So now they're now they have 00:43:22.210 --> 00:43:25.429 to change the rules, change the formula so they 00:43:25.429 --> 00:43:28.250 can be funded a different way and get as much 00:43:28.250 --> 00:43:30.969 money as possible a different way, because we 00:43:30.969 --> 00:43:33.449 can't be doing it based on how many students 00:43:33.449 --> 00:43:36.409 we teach anymore. We have to do it based on another 00:43:36.409 --> 00:43:41.610 metric yet to be seen. I mean, these cuts are 00:43:41.610 --> 00:43:43.969 killing people. The formula worked fantastic 00:43:43.969 --> 00:43:47.030 when basically nobody opted out. But now that 00:43:47.030 --> 00:43:49.570 a noticeable percentage of people are opting 00:43:49.570 --> 00:43:52.829 out, this is unacceptable. This summer, State 00:43:52.829 --> 00:43:54.789 Department of Ed staff traveled the state to 00:43:54.789 --> 00:43:57.170 hear from school leaders, teachers, and families 00:43:57.170 --> 00:44:00.409 on what should be prioritized. They always include 00:44:00.409 --> 00:44:02.409 that part, too. I know we're taking forever on 00:44:02.409 --> 00:44:05.190 this one, but there's so much to break down in 00:44:05.190 --> 00:44:07.969 every damn sentence. Families. It's always important 00:44:07.969 --> 00:44:09.989 that they include that last part, right? Teachers, 00:44:10.730 --> 00:44:13.210 administrators, educators, and, of course, the 00:44:13.210 --> 00:44:15.289 most important part of this equation, families. 00:44:15.969 --> 00:44:18.329 But you know the families? They don't give a 00:44:18.329 --> 00:44:20.929 shit about families. They only give a shit about 00:44:20.929 --> 00:44:24.190 the families who are heavily invested in the 00:44:24.190 --> 00:44:26.190 public indoctrination system. Those are the families 00:44:26.190 --> 00:44:27.849 they want to hear from, and those are the families 00:44:27.849 --> 00:44:30.889 that are being referred to in this report. You 00:44:30.889 --> 00:44:33.750 know the families that they hate? That's us. 00:44:34.010 --> 00:44:36.130 We're those families, Scott. They don't give 00:44:36.130 --> 00:44:38.630 a shit about us and our families. In fact, they 00:44:38.630 --> 00:44:40.769 hate us. We're the reason they're scrambling 00:44:40.769 --> 00:44:44.039 for money. Even though When I pay my property 00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.280 taxes and my income taxes and my sales taxes 00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:48.900 and my gambling taxes and my alcohol taxes, a 00:44:48.900 --> 00:44:51.619 bunch of that shit still goes into their slush 00:44:51.619 --> 00:44:54.039 funds. So they still get a bunch of my money. 00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.280 I never get it back. We educate on our own dime, 00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.599 but they hate us anyways because of what we represent. 00:45:01.139 --> 00:45:04.079 And because when we pull our kids out, they don't 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.880 get the attendance. So they get less money, less 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.800 of my money. We're not the families they care 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.139 about. Well, let's interview Gideon Tolman, the 00:45:14.139 --> 00:45:17.659 Idaho CFO for the public, the Idaho Department 00:45:17.659 --> 00:45:19.880 of Education. Let's interview his wife and see 00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:21.840 what she says. Okay, well, that's what the families 00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.820 have to say. Teachers and families on what should 00:45:24.820 --> 00:45:27.719 be prioritized in the funding model. Tolman says 00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.820 three main topics kept coming up, including enrollment 00:45:30.820 --> 00:45:33.139 -based funding, which the state used briefly 00:45:33.139 --> 00:45:35.699 during the pandemic to provide stable budgets 00:45:35.699 --> 00:45:38.380 to districts. If you have 90 % of your students 00:45:38.380 --> 00:45:40.969 coming or 100 % of your students coming, It's 00:45:40.969 --> 00:45:43.630 the same fixed cost for running the building, 00:45:43.969 --> 00:45:46.250 staffing the building, having a teacher in the 00:45:46.250 --> 00:45:49.090 classroom. Idahoans also want to see the public 00:45:49.090 --> 00:45:51.750 education budget grow to reduce the burden on 00:45:51.750 --> 00:45:54.170 taxpayers when districts continually ask for 00:45:54.170 --> 00:45:56.829 bonds and levies. Not all Idahoans. Let's hear 00:45:56.829 --> 00:45:58.960 that. Thank you for speaking for me though. What 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:01.199 did they just say? Idahoans want more money taken 00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:03.199 from their own pockets. How did they phrase that? 00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:05.480 Idahoans also want to see the public education 00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.079 budget grow to reduce the burden on taxpayers 00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.480 when districts continually ask for bonds and 00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:13.139 levies. They want to see the budget grow, which 00:46:13.139 --> 00:46:16.039 comes from the taxpayers, but then to reduce 00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:18.599 the burden on taxpayers when they're asked for 00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:23.159 money. What? What does I don't understand? Well, 00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:25.239 it doesn't make sense if you don't think about 00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:31.150 it, but yes, somehow. Please tax us harder so 00:46:31.150 --> 00:46:33.769 that we can be taxed less hard. Idahoans want 00:46:33.769 --> 00:46:39.510 it! All Idahoans want. More taxation so we can 00:46:39.510 --> 00:46:43.710 have less taxation. But it might work for us. 00:46:44.010 --> 00:46:46.670 And they hope to see more support for special 00:46:46.670 --> 00:46:49.269 education, which public schools are required 00:46:49.269 --> 00:46:53.250 to provide. No, I don't. The best support for 00:46:53.250 --> 00:46:55.869 special education is for parents to nut up and 00:46:55.869 --> 00:46:58.050 take care of their own children in a homeschool 00:46:58.050 --> 00:46:59.690 environment where they'll get the attention and 00:46:59.690 --> 00:47:03.090 love they deserve. That is the best program for 00:47:03.090 --> 00:47:07.570 special education kids is you teaching your kids 00:47:07.570 --> 00:47:10.309 and loving on them and giving them the education 00:47:10.309 --> 00:47:13.980 that works for them. I know. Crazy, right? I'm 00:47:13.980 --> 00:47:17.920 probably going to get called a fascist now. There 00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:20.820 is about a hundred million dollar gap between 00:47:20.820 --> 00:47:25.039 what schools receive for special education student 00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:29.670 costs. what those costs actually are. While federal 00:47:29.670 --> 00:47:32.030 money covers some special education funding, 00:47:32.429 --> 00:47:36.030 Tolman says it's not enough. But that state funding 00:47:36.030 --> 00:47:38.550 is based on every district and charter having 00:47:38.550 --> 00:47:42.130 6 % of their student population qualified as 00:47:42.130 --> 00:47:44.889 special education. And we know that for most 00:47:44.889 --> 00:47:46.650 districts and charters, it's actually closer 00:47:46.650 --> 00:47:49.809 to double that, more like 12 % of their student 00:47:49.809 --> 00:47:52.750 population as special education. So that gap 00:47:52.750 --> 00:47:55.929 between 6 % and 12%. Is this guy literally making 00:47:55.929 --> 00:47:57.980 the argument that I think he's making where he's 00:47:57.980 --> 00:48:01.920 like, so as far as statistics go, reports say 00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:04.679 that 6 % of our student body is retarded, but 00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:08.599 it's actually double that 12 % of our kids are 00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:10.980 retarded. Give us more money. That's what he's 00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:13.400 saying. They're they're wildly underestimating 00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.159 the percentages of mongos. And so we need it's 00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:17.780 what we have is not enough. It's not enough. 00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:21.760 So that gap between the six and 12 % is then 00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:25.179 I'm sorry, Mr. Mr. CFO. Mongo is a wildly outdated 00:48:25.179 --> 00:48:27.780 term. Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, the retards is 00:48:27.780 --> 00:48:30.639 way more retards. So that gap between the six 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:33.699 and 12. Think of the children, but even worse. 00:48:34.809 --> 00:48:38.329 Think of the retarded children. Think of them. 00:48:38.730 --> 00:48:42.150 Leave. So that gap between the 6 and 12 percent 00:48:42.150 --> 00:48:45.469 is then covered by supplemental levies. Now the 00:48:45.469 --> 00:48:47.550 Department of Ed is working with state lawmakers 00:48:47.550 --> 00:48:50.170 to create a model they'll pitch during the upcoming 00:48:50.170 --> 00:48:54.400 legislative session. Is it a matter of redistributing 00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:57.179 the existing amount of money that we have for 00:48:57.179 --> 00:49:00.119 public schools? Is it adding more money? Is it 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:02.320 a combination of both? And at this point, we 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:04.900 think it'll probably be a combination of both. 00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:07.420 Two years ago, the department. I'm pretty sure 00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:10.400 this guy is a gay communist, which are basically 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:12.400 the same thing. I know it's a redundancy, but 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.519 I'm pretty sure this dude is a gay communist. 00:49:14.619 --> 00:49:16.719 That is so good. So this is one of those instances 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.960 where he starts interviewing himself. Is it about 00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:24.159 redistribution? I think it is. Is it about taking 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:27.219 more from people? I think it is. And at the end 00:49:27.219 --> 00:49:29.679 of the day, what do I think? I think we need 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.280 to do both. We need to take more and we need 00:49:32.280 --> 00:49:35.760 to redistribute harder. At the end of the day, 00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:40.199 it's about students. Money. It's all about the 00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:43.940 staff. Money. And the special needs students. 00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:49.420 Money. Hey, don't worry, though. I brought my 00:49:49.420 --> 00:49:52.090 own questions for this interview. So That's OK. 00:49:52.150 --> 00:49:55.429 Don't worry. Do I think it's enough? Tolman says 00:49:55.429 --> 00:50:02.590 it's not enough. We I think that's that might 00:50:02.590 --> 00:50:05.429 be a sound bite right there. It's so perfectly 00:50:05.429 --> 00:50:10.070 tied into the Melissa Wintrow or whatever, and 00:50:10.070 --> 00:50:11.889 then tied in with the other gal. So you could 00:50:11.889 --> 00:50:14.829 basically the we it's not enough. These cuts 00:50:14.829 --> 00:50:17.269 are killing people. I like your taxes. Boom, 00:50:17.309 --> 00:50:20.309 boom, boom. Just if we all just pay Idaho cartel 00:50:20.309 --> 00:50:22.559 in a nutshell right there. I like your taxes. 00:50:22.940 --> 00:50:27.420 I like your taxes. Literally. Something like 00:50:27.420 --> 00:50:30.099 that. It's not enough. You know, if any of these 00:50:30.099 --> 00:50:33.239 people had their way, then most of these special 00:50:33.239 --> 00:50:35.199 needs students wouldn't even be alive anyways. 00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:37.159 They would have been aborted. So what are they 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:38.619 complaining about? Oh, that's right. They're 00:50:38.619 --> 00:50:40.320 complaining because now they're a problem because 00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:45.860 they're alive. It's not enough. But all these 00:50:45.860 --> 00:50:47.840 crazy leftists, if they knew these kids were 00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:49.420 going to be special needs, would have just killed 00:50:49.420 --> 00:50:52.989 them in the womb anyways. Because compassion 00:50:52.989 --> 00:51:00.750 and whatnot Let's do mid show. What do you think 00:51:00.750 --> 00:51:03.590 on that topic? Yeah, another another thing about 00:51:03.590 --> 00:51:06.309 money seems like a good place speaking of being 00:51:06.309 --> 00:51:11.610 smothered in the cradle This is a value for value 00:51:11.610 --> 00:51:16.150 show no ID Yes, we are the opposite of all of 00:51:16.150 --> 00:51:20.860 this stuff. We don't redistribute We don't ask 00:51:20.860 --> 00:51:22.920 for, well, I guess we do ask for more, but we 00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:26.480 ask for it. We don't demand it. It's not temporary. 00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:29.519 This is an ongoing proposition. We're being honest 00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:33.059 with you with regard to how we are asking for 00:51:33.059 --> 00:51:35.639 not demanding, not putting it to a vote until 00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:39.059 you vote correctly, just asking for value in 00:51:39.059 --> 00:51:41.599 return if you find our program valuable. That's 00:51:41.599 --> 00:51:43.000 the value for value model. Well, one thing we 00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.820 don't do is trot out our retarded children and 00:51:46.820 --> 00:51:50.269 use them as a human shield for funding. So at 00:51:50.269 --> 00:51:53.030 the very least, you know, we don't stoop to that 00:51:53.030 --> 00:51:55.550 level. You're welcome, America. Well, see, the 00:51:55.550 --> 00:51:57.710 thing is, is we thought there was only one retard 00:51:57.710 --> 00:51:59.889 hosting no ID, but there's actually two. It's 00:51:59.889 --> 00:52:02.090 a much higher percentage than we previously thought. 00:52:02.170 --> 00:52:04.610 So we need this just more. They did. These hosts 00:52:04.610 --> 00:52:08.130 need more resources. 100 % surge in retardation 00:52:08.130 --> 00:52:13.090 on the no ID podcast. And if all else fails, 00:52:13.110 --> 00:52:15.230 you can always move back to the an epidemic and 00:52:15.230 --> 00:52:19.900 he'll be fine. It's a pandemic. It's a pandemic 00:52:19.900 --> 00:52:23.840 of, I don't even know. I've gotten lost in my 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:26.820 own references. The CDC might get involved. The 00:52:26.820 --> 00:52:29.139 experts at the CDC. There's a data tracker. The 00:52:29.139 --> 00:52:32.480 experts! Yes, there's a data tracker for no ID. 00:52:34.340 --> 00:52:37.340 Yeah, yeah. There's not been a surge. There's 00:52:37.340 --> 00:52:42.539 no surge. It's not value season. value season. 00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:45.579 I'm sure we have some back to school special 00:52:45.579 --> 00:52:47.519 we can offer, but I don't know what it is because 00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:50.760 I don't know when school starts. So I'm here. 00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.159 They're they're moving home. We start. We say 00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:55.920 we start school. Well, it's earlier and earlier 00:52:55.920 --> 00:52:57.920 every year. So I think right after Independence 00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:01.360 Day, they're going to start school. Studies show 00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:04.460 that ample classroom time and zero breaks or 00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:07.719 outside time or sunshine or recess or body movement 00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:14.199 improves. Test scores. So the value for value 00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:16.280 model, which is more money. What the show runs 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:23.780 on more money. We need money. I need money. The 00:53:23.780 --> 00:53:25.539 money does. All right. But if we're going to 00:53:25.539 --> 00:53:28.860 talk like that, we got to address the tarantula 00:53:28.860 --> 00:53:30.599 in the room. We're doing it. We're getting there. 00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:32.400 I want to go through all the different ways that 00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.239 you can return value to this program because 00:53:34.239 --> 00:53:37.519 it's a multitude of ways that you can return 00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.690 value.

Well, it has water again. 00:55:25.190 --> 00:55:27.289 So I guess give the river keeper another hundred 00:55:27.289 --> 00:55:33.389 K. So one of our producers noticed that the river 00:55:33.389 --> 00:55:37.070 hath runneth dry and that all the cattle fell 00:55:37.070 --> 00:55:39.989 over. But it runneth dry no longer. And now there's 00:55:39.989 --> 00:55:42.760 water. I'm sure we'll be what we'll do is we'll 00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:45.980 cover that.

I know it's so cliche and 00:56:56.519 --> 00:56:58.239 lame to say because everybody says it but we 00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.480 are on YouTube also. In fact, in fact, that's 00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:02.480 where I do my listening when I listen back to 00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:06.820 these shows to critique myself.

And 00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:00.780 that. It goes a long way to helping keep the 00:58:00.780 --> 00:58:02.980 lights on and keeping this program going. It 00:58:02.980 --> 00:58:05.219 takes a lot of effort and work to execute the 00:58:05.219 --> 00:58:08.360 show every week. As such, we did have an offline 00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:10.820 conversation this week, and I think this is what 00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:12.280 you were just mentioning a moment ago, Paul, 00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.900 where it's worth addressing. And you want me 00:58:15.900 --> 00:58:18.460 to take the lead on it or you got thoughts or 00:58:18.460 --> 00:58:23.219 set it up? I say you take the lead on it. I think 00:58:23.219 --> 00:58:25.760 your setups are good. And when there's spots 00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:27.260 to knock them down, I'll knock it down because 00:58:27.260 --> 00:58:30.119 I have a few thoughts, but I know you do, too. 00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:31.920 So I'll let you if you're up for it, I'll let 00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.599 you start. OK, gotcha. So so we received a message 00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:36.780 this week from one of our executive producers, 00:58:36.780 --> 00:58:41.860 and he said that we ought to consider how we're 00:58:41.860 --> 00:58:46.139 coming across when we discuss the treasure portion. 00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:51.400 of time talent treasure and our need for it slash 00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:54.880 how Paul and I and the show are thinking about 00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.380 money and And a couple of different specifics 00:58:58.380 --> 00:59:01.139 he brought up one that we've mentioned repeatedly 00:59:01.139 --> 00:59:04.559 That we haven't really done anything with the 00:59:04.559 --> 00:59:06.960 money that has been donated thus far that it's 00:59:06.960 --> 00:59:08.539 just sort of like ah We'll just we're just sort 00:59:08.539 --> 00:59:10.659 of it's sitting in the account and we don't have 00:59:10.659 --> 00:59:14.139 we haven't had any like Clear expenditures or 00:59:14.139 --> 00:59:16.119 capital investments or more equipment or whatever 00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:19.420 because it was sort of a a fixed initial Startup 00:59:19.420 --> 00:59:21.019 costs for the show, which is just you know, whatever 00:59:21.019 --> 00:59:23.659 the microphones and all that sort of thing And 00:59:23.659 --> 00:59:26.239 then the ongoing costs are they are there I mean, 00:59:26.260 --> 00:59:28.699 you know the the web hosting and all of the different 00:59:28.699 --> 00:59:32.300 ways that you continue to pay to Keep the show 00:59:32.300 --> 00:59:34.900 out there in the ether those are ongoing, but 00:59:34.900 --> 00:59:37.179 they're not crazy I mean, it's nothing like the 00:59:37.179 --> 00:59:38.940 retail hospitality world that Paul and I came 00:59:38.940 --> 00:59:41.059 from where the overhead is huge The overhead 00:59:41.059 --> 00:59:43.559 is relatively small and so therefore we haven't 00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:45.500 used much of it We've we've we've mentioned that 00:59:45.500 --> 00:59:47.840 a lot and then also Paul specifically brought 00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:51.360 up that You know, he's been making good money 00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:54.739 doing his what he's been doing for I don't know 00:59:54.739 --> 00:59:56.679 a day job if you want to call it that in the 00:59:56.679 --> 00:59:58.119 last year and then like, you know You've said 00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.650 like neither one of us needs the money And so 01:00:00.650 --> 01:00:02.809 this executive producer had mentioned that we 01:00:02.809 --> 01:00:05.550 might want to consider how we're coming across 01:00:05.550 --> 01:00:09.329 when we discuss money in that way and people's 01:00:09.329 --> 01:00:13.349 motivation to then donate. So I guess I'll step 01:00:13.349 --> 01:00:16.210 in and now with a couple of things. So and it's 01:00:16.210 --> 01:00:18.289 a it was about some valid points that he brought 01:00:18.289 --> 01:00:21.769 up. And I was I was irked about it, not at him, 01:00:21.969 --> 01:00:25.960 but just at the situation, because, well. I'm 01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:27.719 unfiltered. You know, me in particular, I can 01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:29.679 get myself in trouble. I say things and I mean 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:31.099 one thing with them and other people hear something 01:00:31.099 --> 01:00:34.000 else. I'm unfiltered. I'm an open book. Pretty 01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.000 much. It's just how it is. My wife likes to use 01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:38.619 the term authentic. Apparently, that's a buzzword 01:00:38.619 --> 01:00:40.960 now. But yeah, I mean, I mean what I say, I say 01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:43.559 what I mean, I am what I am. And I mean, you 01:00:43.559 --> 01:00:45.039 guys at this point, if you listen, you know, 01:00:45.539 --> 01:00:48.679 so there's a couple a couple of things in there. 01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:51.400 Going back to the beginning is One thing that 01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:53.219 we also haven't mentioned that I'll mention now 01:00:53.219 --> 01:00:55.980 is that Scott and I both have put up a couple 01:00:55.980 --> 01:00:58.260 grand of our own money into this to get it started. 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.320 So we're not we're not being blithe about any 01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:05.639 of it. And we don't mean to come off as if We're 01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:08.260 not grateful or that we don't need it or anything 01:01:08.260 --> 01:01:10.559 like that We've actually invested our a significant 01:01:10.559 --> 01:01:14.079 chunk of our own coin to get started and so the 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:16.360 the executive producer donations They mean they 01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:18.719 actually do mean a lot to us. I hope we have 01:01:18.719 --> 01:01:21.179 conveyed that I mean, I've tried to be as great 01:01:21.179 --> 01:01:24.119 sound as grateful as I am and I think Scott too 01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:27.500 Because it's really cool. It's a sign. It's a 01:01:27.630 --> 01:01:30.030 What's the word I want like I have a lot of respect 01:01:30.030 --> 01:01:31.769 for somebody who puts their money where their 01:01:31.769 --> 01:01:33.949 mouths are where their principles are and in 01:01:33.949 --> 01:01:35.710 this case That's you guys executive producers 01:01:35.710 --> 01:01:39.110 doing that for us And we ourselves have done 01:01:39.110 --> 01:01:41.710 it for this show and if I guess I want to get 01:01:41.710 --> 01:01:44.630 a little a little Cliche or campy with it. I 01:01:44.630 --> 01:01:46.929 could say we've done it for you guys our listeners 01:01:47.449 --> 01:01:51.329 So we're into it a chunk of change as well the 01:01:51.329 --> 01:01:53.469 donations we've the executive producer contributions 01:01:53.469 --> 01:01:57.050 We've received have I would say at this juncture 01:01:57.050 --> 01:02:00.130 just about covered it So we're breaking even 01:02:00.130 --> 01:02:03.050 on the show give or take now the reason why we've 01:02:03.050 --> 01:02:06.289 mentioned we haven't Spent much of the funds 01:02:06.289 --> 01:02:09.369 is because once we did the initial outlay for 01:02:09.369 --> 01:02:11.929 all of the equipment for the software and then 01:02:11.929 --> 01:02:14.539 took Gosh, what was it, man? 20 hours of our 01:02:14.539 --> 01:02:16.420 time to get our just to get our audio set up. 01:02:16.440 --> 01:02:18.019 I mean, it was a lot. It's probably about across 01:02:18.019 --> 01:02:20.619 three or four sessions. It was a lot. And of 01:02:20.619 --> 01:02:22.659 course, you know, mostly because we're special 01:02:22.659 --> 01:02:25.480 needs. We're special needs hosts. That's a high 01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:28.159 percentage of retards trying to trying to work 01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:30.760 the potentiometers around here. Well, at that 01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:33.579 time, it was 50 percent of us was was caveman 01:02:33.579 --> 01:02:35.500 retarded. And that was me. I'll own up to it. 01:02:35.539 --> 01:02:37.539 Scott had to hold my like lead me by the nose 01:02:37.539 --> 01:02:39.099 here to get this stuff figured out. It's just 01:02:39.099 --> 01:02:41.679 not my jam. But we got it. We got it eventually. 01:02:42.170 --> 01:02:44.289 But the point is is it was definitely a major 01:02:44.289 --> 01:02:46.969 time investment and a monetary investment So 01:02:46.969 --> 01:02:49.909 we don't take your investment into us for granted. 01:02:50.130 --> 01:02:53.610 We just haven't hadn't Spent a bunch of it yet 01:02:53.610 --> 01:02:56.809 because well We didn't have really any big major 01:02:56.809 --> 01:02:58.449 expenditures and Scott and I are not the kind 01:02:58.449 --> 01:03:01.610 of guys to spend just for the sake of spending 01:03:01.610 --> 01:03:06.360 We have a few Yeah, no ice cream machines in 01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:08.059 the studio, man. We just we just haven't done 01:03:08.059 --> 01:03:09.579 it. You know, we're happy with a French press 01:03:09.579 --> 01:03:12.159 cup of coffee and a cigar. We keep it pretty 01:03:12.159 --> 01:03:16.179 simple. But the equipment that we run, it's expensive. 01:03:16.219 --> 01:03:19.039 So what in our minds, we've been saving the funds 01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:21.880 for either if we there's a couple of marketing 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:23.780 campaigns we've been mulling over. Those are 01:03:23.780 --> 01:03:26.119 not cheap. We haven't pulled the trigger on anything 01:03:26.119 --> 01:03:28.099 yet because we're trying to find something that 01:03:28.099 --> 01:03:30.679 will provide an excellent rate of return. And 01:03:30.679 --> 01:03:33.050 that's hard to find. And everything, they're 01:03:33.050 --> 01:03:34.570 all expensive. It's just whether or not the rate 01:03:34.570 --> 01:03:36.949 of return justifies it. But also hardware, if 01:03:36.949 --> 01:03:40.309 the hardware goes down, right off the bat, we're 01:03:40.309 --> 01:03:43.010 anywhere from $200 to $500 to replace hardware. 01:03:43.730 --> 01:03:47.489 So we've just been judiciously eyeballing what 01:03:47.489 --> 01:03:49.449 we want to do next and making sure that we have 01:03:49.449 --> 01:03:52.449 the coin to back it. And that's really it. It's 01:03:52.449 --> 01:03:54.590 nothing about us being blithe and just being 01:03:54.590 --> 01:03:55.909 like, oh, well, it doesn't matter. And we'll 01:03:55.909 --> 01:03:58.030 just let it sit here forever and ever. Don't 01:03:58.030 --> 01:04:00.860 worry. it'll get used at some point and it is 01:04:00.860 --> 01:04:03.940 very much appreciated. And then as far as I guess 01:04:03.940 --> 01:04:07.179 me talking about my day job and you know Scott 01:04:07.179 --> 01:04:09.539 and I both have part -time day jobs and we're 01:04:09.539 --> 01:04:11.780 also both in positions where we've sold our businesses 01:04:11.780 --> 01:04:15.679 and and we're in an interesting spot of life 01:04:15.679 --> 01:04:17.940 that is unique but also I think necessary for 01:04:17.940 --> 01:04:20.780 both of us as we rebuild our lives in different 01:04:20.780 --> 01:04:23.400 ways and heal physically and mentally and emotionally 01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:25.440 from different things and you know both of us 01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:28.380 have been through a lot. in the last few years. 01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:31.440 And so I think we're it's been a blessing to 01:04:31.440 --> 01:04:33.679 both of us. It's given us the time to put this 01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:35.679 project together. Is it a path? So now I'm going 01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:38.500 to do the the Department of Education CFO thing. 01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:41.679 I'm bringing my own questions now. Is it a project 01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:45.340 of passion, a passion project? Yes. Does it mean 01:04:45.340 --> 01:04:48.659 a lot to us? Yes. Do we put a lot of time and 01:04:48.659 --> 01:04:52.179 energy into it? Yes. Scott, in particular, though, 01:04:52.340 --> 01:04:54.420 to Scott's credit, he does 80 percent of the 01:04:54.420 --> 01:04:57.360 heavy lifting. And I really appreciate it. So 01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.139 I'm the lucky one. I get to show up and be the 01:05:00.139 --> 01:05:02.659 color commentary and I come prepared with some 01:05:02.659 --> 01:05:04.920 things and I send a lot of articles when they 01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:07.019 come across my desk, but Scott's the one who 01:05:07.019 --> 01:05:12.260 really sets the show up. So this is a labor of 01:05:12.260 --> 01:05:15.920 love that we hope will turn into something that's, 01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:17.599 you know, something we do maybe more than once 01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:19.980 a week, something that does generate revenue 01:05:19.980 --> 01:05:22.500 and becomes a we have a business that we have 01:05:22.500 --> 01:05:27.460 a literal LLC, we file taxes, we show revenue, 01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.840 yada, yada, yada, yada, so on and so forth. So 01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:32.820 yeah, contributions are part of that formula. 01:05:33.039 --> 01:05:35.139 And we really do appreciate them. And they are 01:05:35.139 --> 01:05:37.800 part of our business, a business we genuinely 01:05:37.800 --> 01:05:42.320 sincerely hope will grow and can only grow via 01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:46.369 you guys. spreading the word and, you know, putting 01:05:46.369 --> 01:05:48.550 in contributions when and where you find value 01:05:48.550 --> 01:05:52.269 with us. And that's kind of the deal. So yeah, 01:05:52.409 --> 01:05:54.789 when I when I mentioned like, yeah, making decent 01:05:54.789 --> 01:05:56.989 money right now my job, it's not because I'm 01:05:56.989 --> 01:05:59.309 trying to brag or flex or say we don't need it. 01:05:59.309 --> 01:06:02.210 It's more just like I was saying it more because 01:06:02.210 --> 01:06:04.550 I was telling a story about how irritated I was 01:06:04.550 --> 01:06:06.449 at the government and how much time of mine they 01:06:06.449 --> 01:06:08.510 abused. It was like, hey, fuck you. I'm billing 01:06:08.510 --> 01:06:11.889 you for this. But I was also out of gratitude. 01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.340 So yeah, you know, but there's also the other 01:06:15.340 --> 01:06:17.219 thing too is, you know, when you, you know, you 01:06:17.219 --> 01:06:20.000 say you make exit X amount an hour, but when 01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:22.639 you, you know, you work 15, 20 hours a week doing 01:06:22.639 --> 01:06:24.800 that, it's not like a full -time gig where you're, 01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:28.719 you know, and the math is different than people 01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:33.760 might think, but, but even then Scott and I were 01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:35.519 talking about that too. Cause that point got 01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:37.159 brought up and you know, we were kind of told, 01:06:37.159 --> 01:06:38.460 well, you shouldn't talk about what you make 01:06:38.460 --> 01:06:39.940 in your day job. Cause then people might not 01:06:39.940 --> 01:06:42.099 want to donate. And I was thinking, well, Okay, 01:06:42.099 --> 01:06:44.519 that's kind of fair. But at the same time, I 01:06:44.519 --> 01:06:46.880 mean, we all, you know, when you buy a pair of 01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:49.880 Air Jordans, are you thinking like, Oh, I'm not 01:06:49.880 --> 01:06:51.440 going to buy this pair of Jordans because the 01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:53.099 guy who owns the brand is already a billionaire. 01:06:53.840 --> 01:06:56.840 Or when you listen to other podcasts that have 01:06:56.840 --> 01:06:59.380 famous and wealthy people running the podcast, 01:06:59.420 --> 01:07:01.760 and that's, you know, and people pay them money 01:07:01.760 --> 01:07:05.480 advertisers and donate donations and contributors. 01:07:05.659 --> 01:07:07.920 I mean, nobody's nobody's shitting on them for 01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:10.659 making good money. So I don't think our people 01:07:10.659 --> 01:07:12.840 are going to do the same. At least I hope not. 01:07:12.940 --> 01:07:14.579 Yeah, I hope not, too. I mean, yeah, that's all 01:07:14.579 --> 01:07:17.199 very well stated and just to round it out before 01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:18.980 we head into second half of show here, you know, 01:07:19.019 --> 01:07:21.719 just to use the the mothership, no agenda and 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:24.800 the pioneers of this model as the direct corollary 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:26.719 to what we're talking about here and to what 01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:29.820 to the point you just made. you know, both both 01:07:29.820 --> 01:07:33.360 John and Adam were mainstream media figures who 01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.500 had, you know, large paydays over extended periods 01:07:36.500 --> 01:07:38.900 of time from the publications where they work 01:07:38.900 --> 01:07:42.280 for an MTV and PC magazine and and venture, you 01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:45.960 know, and businesses started and sold and the 01:07:45.960 --> 01:07:48.579 Adam even took a business public and, you know, 01:07:48.659 --> 01:07:52.380 John wrote 18 ,000 books. I mean, you know, it's 01:07:52.380 --> 01:07:54.880 not as if I mean, what does what does quote needed 01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:57.880 the money even mean? you know, it really just 01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:00.360 became its own thing where regardless of their 01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:02.559 personal financial positions, what you would 01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:04.980 you think you know about them or whatever, it 01:08:04.980 --> 01:08:07.739 was an ongoing source that that's what they they 01:08:07.739 --> 01:08:09.980 made their living, or they made their income 01:08:09.980 --> 01:08:12.880 on the show that no agenda was their full time 01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:15.199 job, as they continue to point out. So what what 01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:17.000 they did or didn't have in the bank or their 01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:19.420 net worth, that that's sort of like not the point. 01:08:19.420 --> 01:08:23.020 And the producers, many of whom here here this 01:08:23.020 --> 01:08:24.880 program, too, and we appreciate all of you just 01:08:24.880 --> 01:08:28.939 like they appreciate you. It's like immaterial. 01:08:29.220 --> 01:08:31.939 If you find the program valuable, then please 01:08:31.939 --> 01:08:33.720 contribute that value to the program, whatever 01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:36.699 the value means to you. It's as simple as that. 01:08:37.039 --> 01:08:39.619 And of course we want this to become an ongoing 01:08:39.619 --> 01:08:41.859 source of revenue like Paul mentioned. That this 01:08:41.859 --> 01:08:44.760 could be our full -time job, man, that's a dream, 01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:46.840 or at least something that continues to be worthwhile 01:08:46.840 --> 01:08:49.680 for everybody involved. you hearing it and us 01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:52.340 doing it. This is the sort of project that has 01:08:52.340 --> 01:08:54.640 it has growth potential and basically the more 01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:57.060 the more value that people derive from us hopefully 01:08:57.060 --> 01:08:59.659 the more they contribute back or the more contributors 01:08:59.659 --> 01:09:01.699 we get or executive producers we get and you 01:09:01.699 --> 01:09:04.720 know it'll be a self -fulfilling prophecy basically 01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:08.000 the more we get put back in the more we will 01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:10.479 put back out and yeah this could this becomes 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:13.090 a thing that is maybe I was going to say a full 01:09:13.090 --> 01:09:16.710 part time job, but like, you know, something 01:09:16.710 --> 01:09:19.350 that is more than what it is right now. It's 01:09:19.350 --> 01:09:21.789 absolutely something we're willing to do. It 01:09:21.789 --> 01:09:24.569 all just depends on how things go. Exactly. So 01:09:24.569 --> 01:09:27.529 with all that being said, we will never beg and 01:09:27.529 --> 01:09:30.609 we will always be grateful. Yeah, well, I can 01:09:30.609 --> 01:09:32.310 just hear John Dvorak being like, well, you guys, 01:09:32.430 --> 01:09:33.869 you better get used to begging because that's 01:09:33.869 --> 01:09:35.850 the value for value model. And I do have, by 01:09:35.850 --> 01:09:38.050 the way, I put together it's not my style. I 01:09:38.050 --> 01:09:41.069 put it. Yeah, nor mine. And I put together a 01:09:41.130 --> 01:09:43.930 A Dvorak soundboard, which I've been reluctant 01:09:43.930 --> 01:09:47.170 to use because I don't know if it's like disrespectful 01:09:47.170 --> 01:09:49.510 or an homage. I think of it like an homage and 01:09:49.510 --> 01:09:51.710 I have a lot of good stuff, but I haven't been 01:09:51.710 --> 01:09:55.609 using it. And so, but just so you guys, it's, 01:09:55.609 --> 01:09:57.970 it's there and all those things that Paul said. 01:09:58.109 --> 01:10:01.130 That's a good point. I'll, I'll maybe I'll start 01:10:01.130 --> 01:10:02.829 working a minute. You guys got to tell me though, 01:10:03.010 --> 01:10:05.859 if it's disrespectful. Well, that'll be up to 01:10:05.859 --> 01:10:07.699 the executive producers to give you feedback 01:10:07.699 --> 01:10:09.960 on that. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's 01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:14.020 cool. You're paying homage. Yeah. No issues here. 01:10:14.340 --> 01:10:17.319 With all that being said, to become an executive 01:10:17.319 --> 01:10:20.399 producer of this program, contributing value 01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:23.319 back in the treasure category, please go to KnowIDShow 01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:25.220 .com where there are many different methods to 01:10:25.220 --> 01:10:31.079 do that. PayPal, Venmo, and Patreon. And I think 01:10:31.079 --> 01:10:33.319 YouTube is, I'm not sure if we're eligible on 01:10:33.319 --> 01:10:34.779 YouTube yet, but there's lots of different ways 01:10:34.779 --> 01:10:36.760 that you can kick back value. And that could 01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:39.020 mean anything. That could mean a dollar, it can 01:10:39.020 --> 01:10:42.640 mean $10, it can mean $1 ,000. Value means many 01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:44.899 different things to many different people. So 01:10:44.899 --> 01:10:47.470 if you've gotten value out of this show, Please 01:10:47.470 --> 01:10:49.449 consider what that means and kick some value 01:10:49.449 --> 01:10:52.229 back to us. It goes a long, long way, and we 01:10:52.229 --> 01:10:55.670 appreciate it. All right, NoIDShow .com. DJ Paul, 01:10:55.850 --> 01:10:57.989 you got a song while we take a pee break before 01:10:57.989 --> 01:11:00.550 we head into second half. Yeah, I got a good 01:11:00.550 --> 01:11:03.489 one that I pulled up while we were talking about 01:11:03.489 --> 01:11:06.289 the education system and needing more money and 01:11:06.289 --> 01:15:07.560 retarded kids. That's not a great question! not 01:15:07.560 --> 01:15:14.760 deserve government funding. Nobody does. Oh, 01:15:14.760 --> 01:15:19.340 really? You're being mean. Oh, really? Yeah. 01:15:22.819 --> 01:15:25.699 Second half of show, which, of course, Dvorak 01:15:25.699 --> 01:15:28.460 loved. It's a little different on this program, 01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:31.880 though. I don't have any UFO clips, but I do 01:15:31.880 --> 01:15:33.539 have I'd like to get to that boots on the ground 01:15:33.539 --> 01:15:36.779 report I reference. So let's start with what 01:15:36.960 --> 01:16:00.699 the message pertains to, which is... it will 01:16:00.699 --> 01:16:03.359 take even more time before any of the federal 01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:05.699 funding gets distributed to them. Derek Strom 01:16:05.699 --> 01:16:08.119 asked county leaders leaders leaders why this 01:16:08.119 --> 01:16:11.569 process is taking so long. Just over three years 01:16:11.569 --> 01:16:14.090 after hundreds of people lost their homes in 01:16:14.090 --> 01:16:17.350 the gray and Oregon Road fires, many still need 01:16:17.350 --> 01:16:20.289 help. It was announced 20 months ago that Spokane 01:16:20.289 --> 01:16:23.550 County would receive 44 million in federal disaster 01:16:23.550 --> 01:16:26.109 funding to help. The county actually received 01:16:26.109 --> 01:16:28.529 that money at the beginning of this year, but 01:16:28.529 --> 01:16:31.250 fire victims haven't seen any of it at work yet. 01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:34.119 So far, the only money the county has spent from 01:16:34.119 --> 01:16:36.560 that grant is for a contract with the Spokane 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:39.180 Region Long -Term Recovery Group to coordinate 01:16:39.180 --> 01:16:42.020 which victims still need help. We'll provide 01:16:42.020 --> 01:16:44.239 the data back of what the need is out there. 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.880 We don't get involved with how they're gonna... 01:16:49.049 --> 01:16:52.170 you know, how much is towards rebuilding? How 01:16:52.170 --> 01:16:55.029 much is towards repair? How much is towards a 01:16:55.029 --> 01:16:56.890 new construction that even though the Spokane 01:16:56.890 --> 01:16:59.510 region long term recovery group has a contract 01:16:59.510 --> 01:17:02.270 in place with the county to navigate fire victims 01:17:02.270 --> 01:17:04.510 to some of these new resources that the county 01:17:04.510 --> 01:17:07.109 will be funding doesn't know when this federal 01:17:07.109 --> 01:17:09.689 money will actually start being distributed to 01:17:09.689 --> 01:17:12.779 fire victims. George Dahl is the county's administrator 01:17:12.779 --> 01:17:15.380 for housing and community development. He says 01:17:15.380 --> 01:17:17.699 the funding will start going out to organizations 01:17:17.699 --> 01:17:20.020 that help victims with housing projects in the 01:17:20.020 --> 01:17:22.420 next two months, but it could take longer for 01:17:22.420 --> 01:17:25.380 the work to actually begin. We're hearing a lot 01:17:25.380 --> 01:17:27.939 about trees and folks wanting trees removed. 01:17:28.180 --> 01:17:31.300 We've got a lot of debris that still remains 01:17:31.300 --> 01:17:34.739 on personal property. There's also other damages 01:17:34.739 --> 01:17:37.899 that have occurred when you think about the fire 01:17:37.899 --> 01:17:41.000 response. The county has decided to divide that 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:43.819 44 million into several categories with half 01:17:43.819 --> 01:17:46.239 of the funding going towards housing. Some of 01:17:46.239 --> 01:17:48.340 that will include building new homes and will 01:17:48.340 --> 01:17:51.439 be spent first. Other areas include infrastructure 01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:54.520 and economic revitalization. Long term recovery 01:17:54.520 --> 01:17:57.539 group says it already has identified 85 people 01:17:57.539 --> 01:17:59.920 that are in need of this funding. It encourages 01:17:59.920 --> 01:18:02.500 anyone who still needs help to contact them. 01:18:03.069 --> 01:18:05.069 There's a couple different points on this clip 01:18:05.069 --> 01:18:06.869 for one I just want to reiterate these were the 01:18:06.869 --> 01:18:10.029 fires from 2023 not the reason once this is over 01:18:10.029 --> 01:18:13.590 three years ago for two that 44 million dollars 01:18:13.590 --> 01:18:16.970 it doesn't appear to be like cash that was distributed 01:18:16.970 --> 01:18:19.529 that's Collecting interest for the city of Spokane 01:18:19.529 --> 01:18:21.510 or Spokane County or anything like that It appears 01:18:21.510 --> 01:18:24.829 to be like a credit line that has yet to be drawn 01:18:24.829 --> 01:18:29.529 down upon And so here this was and the other 01:18:29.529 --> 01:18:31.489 thing is that this was sent in this clip was 01:18:31.489 --> 01:18:35.079 sent in by Forgive me, because it's been a couple 01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:38.100 of weeks, but this was contributed by a producer, 01:18:38.300 --> 01:18:40.359 not the same producer that gave me the boots 01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:43.659 on the ground report about it. So I'd like to 01:18:43.659 --> 01:18:49.340 read his message now. This is good click bait, 01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:52.659 he says, but it is truly a speed of government 01:18:52.659 --> 01:18:56.899 story. Thema required a super robust public participation 01:18:56.899 --> 01:18:59.020 process and report of how the funds would be 01:18:59.020 --> 01:19:01.680 used for public benefit. Lots of meetings and 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:04.859 then a Fed review and approval. We've hired a 01:19:04.859 --> 01:19:07.500 couple legit disaster reconstruction firms from 01:19:07.500 --> 01:19:10.340 the southeast that typically do hurricanes but 01:19:10.340 --> 01:19:13.119 are prepared to move fast unlike the recovery 01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:14.939 group that was stood up right away and hasn't 01:19:14.939 --> 01:19:17.779 done much. Since a lot of homes are already rebuilt, 01:19:18.460 --> 01:19:21.220 I'm hoping a portion will go to quote maraudes. 01:19:21.470 --> 01:19:25.050 That's for you Paul as both fire areas could 01:19:25.050 --> 01:19:29.329 use some improved evacuation routes So it looks 01:19:29.329 --> 01:19:31.649 like this. Oh and his you know, I said a good 01:19:31.649 --> 01:19:33.550 info Thank you. And he said that this is a little 01:19:33.550 --> 01:19:35.869 different because the dollars go through HUD 01:19:35.869 --> 01:19:39.729 Which is actually better than FEMA He says I 01:19:39.729 --> 01:19:41.569 personally still haven't been reimbursed for 01:19:41.569 --> 01:19:44.930 work that I did post -fire and FEMA usually takes 01:19:44.930 --> 01:19:48.319 about four years And so that's the part that's 01:19:48.319 --> 01:19:50.340 amazing is that a lot of these houses have just 01:19:50.340 --> 01:19:52.979 already been rebuilt, I guess out of people's 01:19:52.979 --> 01:19:55.180 insurance claims or their own pockets or comp. 01:19:56.180 --> 01:19:58.420 That's even more interesting. That's the Department 01:19:58.420 --> 01:20:01.659 of Housing and Urban Development. Yeah. So the 01:20:01.659 --> 01:20:06.119 thing that stood out to me immediately was the 01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:09.659 fires were three years ago. And about three years 01:20:09.659 --> 01:20:14.039 ago, 44 million was basically committed or appropriated 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:18.319 to to relief. The funds didn't show up to the 01:20:18.319 --> 01:20:23.199 county until the beginning of this year. So it 01:20:23.199 --> 01:20:30.939 took them two, two and a half years to move the 01:20:30.939 --> 01:20:33.859 money, not even money, but the line of credit. 01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:36.659 Make the line of credit available. Yeah, it took 01:20:36.659 --> 01:20:39.060 over two and a half years for the feds just to 01:20:39.060 --> 01:20:42.270 complete that step. And then the county, Spokane 01:20:42.270 --> 01:20:45.789 County, engaged the services of a third party, 01:20:45.850 --> 01:20:49.710 an NGO, I'm going to guess, that specializes 01:20:49.710 --> 01:20:51.770 in this sort of thing, but of course takes its 01:20:51.770 --> 01:20:54.270 sweet time. And this NGO has taken anywhere from 01:20:54.270 --> 01:20:59.949 six to eight months to data collect, I guess, 01:20:59.970 --> 01:21:03.710 to see who's going to get what. But I mean, if 01:21:03.710 --> 01:21:07.770 this is what you do as an organization and it's 01:21:07.770 --> 01:21:10.989 taking you this long, I wonder how much that 01:21:10.989 --> 01:21:14.710 contract is worth too. It's probably a pretty 01:21:14.710 --> 01:21:17.670 penny. So yeah, the things I immediately keyed 01:21:17.670 --> 01:21:19.350 in on were, wow, two and a half years for the 01:21:19.350 --> 01:21:21.050 feds to move the money or the line of credit 01:21:21.050 --> 01:21:24.130 over to the county of Spokane. And then anywhere 01:21:24.130 --> 01:21:27.069 from six to eight months for the NGO that they've 01:21:27.069 --> 01:21:31.270 hired to do their work to figure out how to distribute 01:21:31.270 --> 01:21:33.130 funds and they're not even done and nobody's 01:21:33.130 --> 01:21:36.260 been paid. Right, I don't think this should be 01:21:36.260 --> 01:21:39.220 a thing to begin with because again, that's that's 01:21:39.220 --> 01:21:42.199 literal Federal Reserve printer money that is 01:21:42.199 --> 01:21:45.939 the printer goes brr money the 44 million just 01:21:45.939 --> 01:21:49.800 brr printed out of thin air Like well, it's yeah. 01:21:49.859 --> 01:21:51.880 I mean as we all know it's all printed out of 01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:54.640 thin air But when I say printed out of thin air, 01:21:54.720 --> 01:21:57.979 I mean, it's not backed by any revenue source 01:21:57.979 --> 01:22:01.579 to incoming and so basically I think we've talked 01:22:01.579 --> 01:22:04.090 about this last go -around or maybe two two episodes 01:22:04.090 --> 01:22:08.010 ago. But the stats on it are basically 30 to 01:22:08.010 --> 01:22:11.109 40 % of every federal dollar that is spent has 01:22:11.109 --> 01:22:13.609 no revenue or income behind it. So that means 01:22:13.609 --> 01:22:17.470 for every hundred dollars that the federal government 01:22:17.470 --> 01:22:21.869 spends anywhere from 60 to 70 of those dollars 01:22:21.869 --> 01:22:24.550 are backed by some form of revenue, whether that's 01:22:24.550 --> 01:22:30.250 income. 30 to $40 of every hundred dollars is 01:22:30.250 --> 01:22:34.670 straight up just burr printed. and just injected 01:22:34.670 --> 01:22:38.390 into the quote unquote economy. That is definitely 01:22:38.390 --> 01:22:42.409 this money, this quote unquote line of credit. 01:22:42.850 --> 01:22:46.590 So these same people then turn around later and 01:22:46.590 --> 01:22:48.789 go, well, we need a bigger budget because of 01:22:48.789 --> 01:22:50.430 inflation. And then everybody goes, well, how 01:22:50.430 --> 01:22:52.630 did inflation happen? And it's like, well, because 01:22:52.630 --> 01:22:56.270 of all of this, 44 million here, 444 million 01:22:56.270 --> 01:23:00.739 over there, and most of it's. Yes. And if you 01:23:00.739 --> 01:23:05.920 object to that, then you don't want Spokane residents 01:23:05.920 --> 01:23:07.939 who lost their houses and fires to be able to 01:23:07.939 --> 01:23:11.199 rebuild. Correct. Although I thought that's what 01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:13.100 private insurance was for. That's why they force 01:23:13.100 --> 01:23:15.699 us to buy it, right? That's the whole scam and 01:23:15.699 --> 01:23:18.760 scheme on that thing is you have to have it. 01:23:18.779 --> 01:23:20.399 If you have a mortgage, you have to have it because 01:23:20.399 --> 01:23:23.260 the bank demands it. And fire is one of the few 01:23:23.260 --> 01:23:25.779 things that is straight up like actually covered. 01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:27.680 You know, they have a million in one waste and 01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:30.060 never pay out on your policy. But fire is almost 01:23:30.060 --> 01:23:32.680 always one of the things where there's just like 01:23:32.680 --> 01:23:36.520 it's covered. You got to pay. Yeah, which is 01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:39.859 why when when committing insurance fraud, fire 01:23:39.859 --> 01:23:42.359 is the chosen way every time nobody commits insurance 01:23:42.359 --> 01:23:46.279 fraud by leaky pipes. They never pay for water 01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:48.380 damage, but they'll pay for a burnt building. 01:23:49.820 --> 01:23:52.380 Now, and that's, you know, that's an aside. That's 01:23:52.380 --> 01:23:55.399 neither here nor there. The main point to this 01:23:55.399 --> 01:23:58.020 is, yeah, two and a half years to move the line 01:23:58.020 --> 01:24:01.140 of credit into position. Another almost full 01:24:01.140 --> 01:24:04.939 year to not even yet distribute it, to tally 01:24:04.939 --> 01:24:06.439 up how they're going to distribute it. And they're 01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:09.520 still not done. Give me a break. This is government 01:24:09.520 --> 01:24:11.720 inaction. And yeah, so the executive producer 01:24:11.720 --> 01:24:13.920 who sent it to us, well done. And thank you because 01:24:13.920 --> 01:24:16.920 congratulations, everybody who goes, but without 01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:19.380 my government, how would we do disaster relief? 01:24:19.609 --> 01:24:22.329 Well, the private sector that had all of its 01:24:22.329 --> 01:24:24.909 money still in its pockets would have taken care 01:24:24.909 --> 01:24:28.529 of this three years ago. That's another great 01:24:28.529 --> 01:24:34.829 point that is so hard to measure. What financial 01:24:34.829 --> 01:24:37.989 position the average homeowner or somebody who 01:24:37.989 --> 01:24:41.010 loses their house in a fire like this would be 01:24:41.010 --> 01:24:44.250 in if not for the confiscatory environment that 01:24:44.250 --> 01:24:46.289 we all find ourselves in? What if they'd been 01:24:46.289 --> 01:24:48.729 keeping half of their income that gets taken 01:24:48.729 --> 01:24:51.029 away year after year after decade after decade? 01:24:51.310 --> 01:24:52.890 What financial position would they be in? What 01:24:52.890 --> 01:24:55.649 would their insurance policies actually look 01:24:55.649 --> 01:24:57.949 like if they were real market based policies, 01:24:58.029 --> 01:25:00.909 et cetera, et cetera? And the community itself. 01:25:01.270 --> 01:25:03.529 So and to extrapolate on that, not just the individuals 01:25:03.529 --> 01:25:05.409 who are affected, but the community that was 01:25:05.409 --> 01:25:08.140 affected and the neighbors. Helping neighbors 01:25:08.140 --> 01:25:10.840 effective that the church around the corner Who 01:25:10.840 --> 01:25:12.640 has a bigger budget because people have more 01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:14.279 money in their pockets and therefore they feel 01:25:14.279 --> 01:25:17.439 more willing to tithe People and that there are 01:25:17.439 --> 01:25:20.260 gobs and gobs of studies on this the freer the 01:25:20.260 --> 01:25:22.500 more homogenous and more economically freer society 01:25:22.500 --> 01:25:25.720 is The more they give to charity both in time 01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:29.359 resources and currency When you are when you 01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:31.880 do well economically and you are free to choose 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:35.510 it charity increases. That's why America, even 01:25:35.510 --> 01:25:38.010 now, America is still the most charitable country 01:25:38.010 --> 01:25:40.489 on an individual level, the most charitable country 01:25:40.489 --> 01:25:43.090 on earth and always has been since the beginning, 01:25:43.569 --> 01:25:45.470 because it's the most economically free, it's 01:25:45.470 --> 01:25:49.069 the most voluntarily based, and it's also our 01:25:49.069 --> 01:25:51.329 culture and our morals and ethics and value system. 01:25:52.050 --> 01:25:56.149 But the more that the government becomes God, 01:25:56.430 --> 01:25:59.569 and fills the role that communities, neighbors, 01:25:59.789 --> 01:26:01.890 churches and private organizations and charities 01:26:01.890 --> 01:26:05.329 used to do and did much better, by the way, the 01:26:05.329 --> 01:26:07.369 more government fills that role and sweeps them 01:26:07.369 --> 01:26:10.109 aside, the less people are inclined to do it 01:26:10.109 --> 01:26:12.430 on their own because it's like, well, I only, 01:26:12.430 --> 01:26:14.750 you know, I keep 50 % when it's all said and 01:26:14.750 --> 01:26:17.630 done. 50 % is mine to keep. Government already 01:26:17.630 --> 01:26:19.329 got everything else. I got nothing else to spare. 01:26:20.029 --> 01:26:22.409 I'm not interested. Go away. I gave it the office 01:26:22.409 --> 01:26:24.750 and the office was the office of the IRS. Go 01:26:24.750 --> 01:26:29.449 away. Well here people have more money in their 01:26:29.449 --> 01:26:31.470 pockets to help and they have more willingness 01:26:31.470 --> 01:26:34.430 to do it when they haven't already been Sheared 01:26:34.430 --> 01:26:37.050 three times sideways by their government like 01:26:37.050 --> 01:26:40.350 a sheep Have we all just pay our fair share, 01:26:40.350 --> 01:26:45.170 right? Switching now to an actual private sector 01:26:45.170 --> 01:26:48.970 I guess transaction it hasn't happened yet, but 01:26:48.970 --> 01:26:51.630 the possibility of that transaction is being 01:26:51.630 --> 01:26:53.970 reported on by the mainstream. This is from KTVB 01:26:55.019 --> 01:26:57.460 Well, you've probably seen this one making the 01:26:57.460 --> 01:26:59.920 rounds online. The old state saloon in downtown 01:26:59.920 --> 01:27:02.340 Eagle is up for sale. And if you followed the 01:27:02.340 --> 01:27:04.979 saloon over the last few years, you know it's 01:27:04.979 --> 01:27:08.819 a place that's never exactly been short on attention. 01:27:09.380 --> 01:27:11.420 Now the question getting people talking, is it 01:27:11.420 --> 01:27:15.100 just why it's for sale? It's who buys it? What 01:27:15.100 --> 01:27:19.600 this place becomes next? So first, what? Exactly 01:27:19.600 --> 01:27:22.819 is for sale. Well, think of this more or less, 01:27:22.819 --> 01:27:25.100 I should say, like buying a bar and more like 01:27:25.100 --> 01:27:27.399 booking a flight on a budget airline. Just quickly 01:27:27.399 --> 01:27:30.460 for context in case you are not aware. Yeah, 01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:32.340 well, I guess she'll explain her statement in 01:27:32.340 --> 01:27:35.369 a minute, but I just want to. Provide context 01:27:35.369 --> 01:27:38.050 that the old state saloon is mark Fitzpatrick's 01:27:38.050 --> 01:27:41.329 business mark Fitzpachter just ran in the primary 01:27:41.329 --> 01:27:44.210 against governor pervert and pervert took it 01:27:44.210 --> 01:27:46.130 of course, so he's and he's been very much in 01:27:46.130 --> 01:27:49.449 the public eye, you know doing stuff like Oh 01:27:49.449 --> 01:27:51.989 a heterosexual awesome this month or you know 01:27:51.989 --> 01:27:54.829 free beer if you report illegals to ice, you 01:27:54.829 --> 01:27:56.989 know stuff like that He's a he's always in the 01:27:56.989 --> 01:27:59.590 national crosshairs because he's using his business 01:27:59.590 --> 01:28:03.979 and as a political platform The building is included 01:28:03.979 --> 01:28:06.380 in the - As two guys who have worked in hospitality 01:28:06.380 --> 01:28:11.079 and retail for the last decade and a half. The 01:28:11.079 --> 01:28:13.720 balls on that guy, I respect it. I mean, I did 01:28:13.720 --> 01:28:15.800 a similar thing. I was in a position and I did 01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:19.380 not to the level that Mark Fitzpatrick has done, 01:28:19.380 --> 01:28:22.439 but I was pretty close to that level. And you 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:24.399 find out real quick that the moment you ruffle 01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:26.500 the establishment feathers, boy howdy, there's 01:28:26.500 --> 01:28:29.000 a target on your back and it never goes away. 01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:32.979 The customers you retain, are loyal for life 01:28:32.979 --> 01:28:36.220 and you better know how to just run a business 01:28:36.220 --> 01:28:39.460 well because there's backlash you suffer financially 01:28:39.460 --> 01:28:43.439 also. So I give a lot of credit to Mark. It's 01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:47.560 not business savvy at all to do what he and I 01:28:47.560 --> 01:28:52.039 did but sometimes principles are more important 01:28:52.039 --> 01:28:54.319 and if you're business savvy enough you can still 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:56.840 take what you have left as far as your business 01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:58.060 and your customers go and you can still make 01:28:58.060 --> 01:29:00.619 a thriving good business out of it. I think Mark 01:29:00.619 --> 01:29:03.859 though I think he got, like I did, got pretty 01:29:03.859 --> 01:29:05.500 beat up and pretty worn down at a certain point 01:29:05.500 --> 01:29:07.279 and just kind of went, yeah, all right, it's 01:29:07.279 --> 01:29:10.060 time. Time for a different phase of life. The 01:29:10.060 --> 01:29:12.279 building is included in the initial price, but 01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:14.699 everything else, well, it's going to cost you. 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:17.680 The building at 50 East State Street is listed 01:29:17.680 --> 01:29:22.210 for $2 .4 million. The liquor license is being 01:29:22.210 --> 01:29:27.149 offered separately for $500 ,000. Oh, and then 01:29:27.149 --> 01:29:29.609 there's the name. The Old State Saloon brand 01:29:29.609 --> 01:29:32.470 is not automatically included. The listing says 01:29:32.470 --> 01:29:34.890 it could be purchased or licensed separately 01:29:34.890 --> 01:29:39.510 by the right buyer. Owner Mark Fitzpatrick says 01:29:39.510 --> 01:29:43.050 on his listing that he is not selling because 01:29:43.050 --> 01:29:46.050 the business failed or because he decided to 01:29:46.050 --> 01:29:50.409 shut up, but because he's quote made the decision. 01:29:50.619 --> 01:29:53.420 to put old state saloon on the market rather 01:29:53.420 --> 01:29:57.060 than allow those people or this business to be 01:29:57.060 --> 01:30:00.579 used as leverage against me. A full explanation 01:30:00.579 --> 01:30:03.739 will come later. And when it does, it will make 01:30:03.739 --> 01:30:05.960 sense to any American who still believes the 01:30:05.960 --> 01:30:08.659 system is supposed to protect free speech and 01:30:08.659 --> 01:30:11.039 private enterprise rather than punish people 01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:13.960 for exercising them. The saloon has built its 01:30:13.960 --> 01:30:16.180 brand around Fitzpatrick's Christian. You can 01:30:16.180 --> 01:30:18.399 just hear the derision and the contempt from 01:30:18.399 --> 01:30:21.060 this lady. I mean, like I've I don't think I've 01:30:21.060 --> 01:30:24.859 ever heard this kind of contempt during a report 01:30:24.859 --> 01:30:27.680 about somebody selling their business and like 01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:31.340 for two point four million dollars. Yeah. Oh, 01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:34.279 the nerve. Oh, and the liquor license is separate. 01:30:34.420 --> 01:30:36.000 It's like, yeah, bitch, that happens all the 01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.699 time. It happens right there all the time. Like 01:30:38.699 --> 01:30:41.819 I didn't hear anybody acting this way in Coeur 01:30:41.819 --> 01:30:43.899 d 'Alene when, you know, Hagadon buys everything 01:30:43.899 --> 01:30:49.260 up like anytime it's a mainstream player. like 01:30:49.260 --> 01:30:51.479 Hagadon or the movers and shakers down in Boise, 01:30:51.859 --> 01:30:54.979 you never get a breathless, a breathlessly contemptible 01:30:54.979 --> 01:30:58.119 report like this. Instead, it's like, oh, and 01:30:58.119 --> 01:31:01.100 Hagadon, who has been the cornerstone of the 01:31:01.100 --> 01:31:04.819 economic increases and economic activity of Coeur 01:31:04.819 --> 01:31:08.510 d 'Alene. who owns everything down there. They're 01:31:08.510 --> 01:31:10.210 buying up another thing. And isn't that just 01:31:10.210 --> 01:31:12.470 great? Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, and by the way, the 01:31:12.470 --> 01:31:14.949 newspaper is also owned by Hagedon. So pay no 01:31:14.949 --> 01:31:17.350 attention to the fact that all of the articles 01:31:17.350 --> 01:31:21.470 are independent journalists. Yeah. Oh yeah. Super 01:31:21.470 --> 01:31:25.939 independent. Yeah. The saloon has built its brand 01:31:25.939 --> 01:31:28.119 around Fitzpatrick's Christian and conservative 01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:30.260 views and describes his customers and business 01:31:30.260 --> 01:31:33.300 partners as like -minded people. So naturally, 01:31:33.479 --> 01:31:35.920 when a place known for taking a stance goes up 01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:38.960 for sale, people start taking stances on who 01:31:38.960 --> 01:31:42.039 should buy it and what should happen next. And 01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:43.920 one of those ideas has gone beyond the comment 01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:46.899 section. An online fundraiser started Friday 01:31:46.899 --> 01:31:50.020 trying to raise three million dollars to buy 01:31:50.020 --> 01:31:53.319 old state saloon and turn it into a gay bar and 01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:56.720 lgbtq plus community space But don't get it twisted. 01:31:56.819 --> 01:32:00.100 This would not be a co -op situation where everyone 01:32:00.100 --> 01:32:03.779 owns it the organizers say Donate donations are 01:32:03.779 --> 01:32:06.399 not investments meaning donors would not receive 01:32:06.399 --> 01:32:13.300 ownership Pause it I do love this. So it turns 01:32:13.300 --> 01:32:16.699 out that the communists don't actually want to 01:32:16.699 --> 01:32:20.119 do communism once they have the money. Yes. We're 01:32:20.119 --> 01:32:23.560 going to raise money to buy old state salute 01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:28.619 for the people. It's going to be an LGBTQ up, 01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:32.279 down, left, right, start, select community space. 01:32:32.539 --> 01:32:36.859 We're going to gather together as one people's 01:32:36.859 --> 01:32:39.699 comrades. And when we're done for whatever we 01:32:39.699 --> 01:32:44.010 do behind For the people owned by the people 01:32:44.010 --> 01:32:47.729 and penetrating the people But just so you guys 01:32:47.729 --> 01:32:51.210 know We totally buy the business. These are just 01:32:51.210 --> 01:32:52.890 donations. We're gonna take all the money and 01:32:52.890 --> 01:32:56.170 we're gonna go full Capitalist on this business 01:32:56.170 --> 01:32:58.710 and we're gonna have revenue and pocket it all 01:32:58.710 --> 01:33:02.390 bitches We're gonna make so much money from those 01:33:02.390 --> 01:33:08.000 fags We have our end of show ISO right there 01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:13.500 I've got I've got a meme that I got to share 01:33:13.500 --> 01:33:15.720 with you at some point is dude It's like from 01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:18.039 the they live I think movie where you wear the 01:33:18.039 --> 01:33:19.800 special glasses and you can tell they're aliens 01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:22.460 you take the glasses off and You know, they look 01:33:22.460 --> 01:33:24.460 like normal human beings. Yeah, and it's this 01:33:24.460 --> 01:33:27.909 dude looking at a pride parade and on the banner, 01:33:28.069 --> 01:33:29.750 the banners of the pride parade, there's like 01:33:29.750 --> 01:33:31.729 sponsored by Visa, it's sponsored, you know, 01:33:31.750 --> 01:33:34.029 brought to you by Pfizer and all these corporate 01:33:34.029 --> 01:33:35.829 sponsors of the pride parade on the banners. 01:33:36.850 --> 01:33:40.449 And then the next one is he puts the shades back 01:33:40.449 --> 01:33:42.449 on and it basically says, give us your money 01:33:42.449 --> 01:33:47.729 homos. And if the group doesn't ultimately buy 01:33:47.729 --> 01:33:50.600 the property, it says remaining money. after 01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:53.380 documented costs related to the attempt, would 01:33:53.380 --> 01:33:56.199 be donated to organizations working on LGBTQ 01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:59.939 civil and human rights in Idaho. So far, they 01:33:59.939 --> 01:34:11.079 have raised $5 ,700. Very, very, very impressive. 01:34:12.840 --> 01:34:16.460 It turns out under communists don't want to put 01:34:16.460 --> 01:34:18.460 their own money where their mouths are. They 01:34:18.460 --> 01:34:20.920 want to put your money where their mouths are 01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:23.579 and other things where their mouths are, too. 01:34:25.699 --> 01:34:28.239 What a bunch of freaks. This part of the group 01:34:28.239 --> 01:34:30.439 doesn't ultimately buy the property. It says 01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:33.390 remaining money. after documented costs related 01:34:33.390 --> 01:34:35.189 to the attempt. We still keep your money. After 01:34:35.189 --> 01:34:37.670 documented costs related to the attempt. So I 01:34:37.670 --> 01:34:39.729 hate to break the news to you guys, but we needed 01:34:39.729 --> 01:34:41.710 to pocket it all. We needed to pay ourselves. 01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:45.939 I also would like to point out. We couldn't write 01:34:45.939 --> 01:34:47.300 this, we couldn't write this. I know, it's too 01:34:47.300 --> 01:34:50.359 good, right? And I gotta point out, what is it? 01:34:50.460 --> 01:34:53.939 So far, they have raised about LGBTQ civil and 01:34:53.939 --> 01:34:57.300 human rights in Idaho. And then the LGBT plus 01:34:57.300 --> 01:35:01.239 community, there is no, this is your biannual 01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:05.239 no ID reminder, there is no LGBT plus community, 01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:07.920 it's baloney, the mainstream presents this to 01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:11.039 you as if it is about gays, it has nothing to 01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:14.500 do with gays. black and queer individual the 01:35:14.500 --> 01:35:17.439 LGBTQ community does not speak on my behalf or 01:35:17.439 --> 01:35:20.020 yours i don't want to be in that crowd i don't 01:35:20.020 --> 01:35:21.880 want to you know what it is about you know what 01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:26.720 it is about scott money uh -huh they're basically 01:35:26.720 --> 01:35:29.420 they may not be a community where one can speak 01:35:29.420 --> 01:35:31.979 for all but they're definitely a political action 01:35:31.979 --> 01:35:35.300 committee always good for raising money Always 01:35:35.300 --> 01:35:37.239 good for raising money. That's how I, you know, 01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:39.140 the fight will never ever end. They'll just keep 01:35:39.140 --> 01:35:41.260 adding alphabet letters to this, to this line 01:35:41.260 --> 01:35:43.119 of things because it can never end because the 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:45.939 moment it ends, the money train ends. If you 01:35:45.939 --> 01:35:47.699 don't have any more things to, it's like when 01:35:47.699 --> 01:35:50.270 we gave him gay marriage. And a lot of us said, 01:35:50.390 --> 01:35:52.529 yeah, it's not gonna stop a gay marriage. You 01:35:52.529 --> 01:35:54.930 know, I'm a libertarian, so my whole spiel is 01:35:54.930 --> 01:35:56.649 just get the state out of marriage to begin with. 01:35:56.770 --> 01:35:58.630 You shouldn't need a state certificate to be 01:35:58.630 --> 01:36:00.470 married and all of that stuff, and that's a whole 01:36:00.470 --> 01:36:02.810 nother aside. So fuck the state, they shouldn't 01:36:02.810 --> 01:36:05.750 belong in marriage at all. They don't give permission. 01:36:06.010 --> 01:36:08.329 God, that's between us and God. God gives permission. 01:36:08.649 --> 01:36:10.369 Of course, I don't think he's pro -gay marriage 01:36:10.369 --> 01:36:12.329 either, but whatever, what you do, you do you, 01:36:12.409 --> 01:36:16.770 boo. You do you. But we did when that when that 01:36:16.770 --> 01:36:18.270 issue was, you know, we're talking the early 01:36:18.270 --> 01:36:20.930 2000s, you'll remember Scott, but all of a sudden, 01:36:20.970 --> 01:36:22.670 yeah, it's not going to end there. Once they 01:36:22.670 --> 01:36:24.409 get gay marriage, the next thing will be, you 01:36:24.409 --> 01:36:28.010 know, bestiality or pedophilia. Or there's no 01:36:28.010 --> 01:36:30.050 such thing as gender. You're blurring that you're 01:36:30.050 --> 01:36:32.149 saying you're basically saying that gender doesn't 01:36:32.149 --> 01:36:34.090 matter. And everyone, of course, just called 01:36:34.090 --> 01:36:36.479 the people that said that. names like, you know, 01:36:36.479 --> 01:36:38.460 you just hate gays. But of course, now here we 01:36:38.460 --> 01:36:40.579 are where they're claiming it's actually even 01:36:40.579 --> 01:36:42.859 a step further. There is no such thing as gender. 01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:45.420 Yeah, it's a social construct, don't you know? 01:36:45.539 --> 01:36:47.699 But of course, it's a social construct that our 01:36:47.699 --> 01:36:50.159 entire political action committee movement is 01:36:50.159 --> 01:36:53.659 based around. And somehow you can be a fourth 01:36:53.659 --> 01:36:59.359 wave feminism feminist while also being for trans 01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:03.800 stuff. And gender is made up. but women are better 01:37:03.800 --> 01:37:09.380 than men at everything but my pay gap yeah it 01:37:09.380 --> 01:37:12.359 makes sense if you don't think about it jinks 01:37:12.359 --> 01:37:14.180 which man i'll tell you what the gender pay gap 01:37:14.180 --> 01:37:16.760 if that was real no man would ever get hired 01:37:16.760 --> 01:37:20.100 again yeah why would you hire a man i wouldn't 01:37:20.100 --> 01:37:22.060 if i could pay a woman 70 cents on the dollar 01:37:22.060 --> 01:37:24.250 i'd never hire a man again Yeah, what about that 01:37:24.250 --> 01:37:27.689 beautiful bartender at the at the racketeer for 01:37:27.689 --> 01:37:29.750 those couple of years? Like you paid her 70 cents 01:37:29.750 --> 01:37:31.510 on the dollar rate or probably 75 cents. I mean, 01:37:31.649 --> 01:37:33.569 she was she was really. Oh, yeah. Rachel. Yeah, 01:37:33.609 --> 01:37:35.670 Rachel. She was a sweetheart. And she was she 01:37:35.670 --> 01:37:38.529 was also super intelligent, too. She was she 01:37:38.529 --> 01:37:40.590 was one of my favorites. Rachel was cool. She 01:37:40.590 --> 01:37:43.810 was super cool. All class, baby. And yeah, no, 01:37:43.930 --> 01:37:46.289 I definitely I definitely did not pay her 70 01:37:46.289 --> 01:37:51.619 cents on the dollar. Sixty. 50. I'm hard to negotiate. 01:37:52.119 --> 01:37:54.960 She's Ukrainian. I basically said 50 cents on 01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:59.380 the dollar plus a potato every day. The Ukrainians 01:37:59.380 --> 01:38:02.619 are really into potatoes. And she fell to her 01:38:02.619 --> 01:38:05.899 knees and said, oh, thank you. She's like, oh, 01:38:05.939 --> 01:38:08.380 comrade, thank you. They hate the Russians, but 01:38:08.380 --> 01:38:12.140 they're still communist adjacent at times. Not 01:38:12.140 --> 01:38:15.880 Rachel though. Rachel and her family, they hate 01:38:15.880 --> 01:38:17.399 the Russians and they hate communism. They're 01:38:17.399 --> 01:38:19.439 stone cold capitalists. Of course they are. She's 01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:21.220 working at the racketeer. It's a prerequisite. 01:38:21.439 --> 01:38:22.920 Yeah. Well, yeah, it's like, like I'm going to 01:38:22.920 --> 01:38:25.460 hire, it's the best of my abilities. Obviously 01:38:25.460 --> 01:38:27.319 we try to hire people who share our values. Cause 01:38:27.319 --> 01:38:29.140 the last thing I want to do is explain to my 01:38:29.140 --> 01:38:33.539 employees, basic economics. Like why don't, why 01:38:33.539 --> 01:38:36.300 don't I make your wage, Paul? It's like actually 01:38:36.539 --> 01:38:38.720 Get over here and I'll show you. You don't want 01:38:38.720 --> 01:38:41.100 to make my wage you retard. Just go back to work. 01:38:43.460 --> 01:38:46.500 I work 80 hours a week and it averages to $4 01:38:46.500 --> 01:38:48.979 an hour. I'm in hospitality and retail, you moron. 01:38:49.380 --> 01:38:52.119 You average $25 an hour with tips. Do you want 01:38:52.119 --> 01:38:54.260 to trade? Oh, here's some paperwork for you too. 01:38:55.020 --> 01:38:58.439 Yeah. All right. A couple more for this week. 01:38:58.920 --> 01:39:01.119 We were on the private sector there briefly. 01:39:01.420 --> 01:39:03.500 Let's go back to the public stuff and I guess 01:39:03.500 --> 01:39:06.159 it's all money this week. with the rural health 01:39:06.159 --> 01:39:09.720 care system. Real quick, I will finish up on 01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:12.140 the Mark Fitzpatrick thing. I feel for the guy 01:39:12.140 --> 01:39:13.880 and I totally understand where he's coming from. 01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:15.859 It's one of those where I know exactly where 01:39:15.859 --> 01:39:17.819 he's coming from because when I exited my business, 01:39:18.100 --> 01:39:20.100 there was absolutely an element of that involved 01:39:20.100 --> 01:39:21.979 too. It was mainly to protect my health because 01:39:21.979 --> 01:39:24.739 of other things that were going on. But I'll 01:39:24.739 --> 01:39:27.500 tell you what, it is a real relief. It is a huge 01:39:27.500 --> 01:39:31.899 relief to not have a business like that that 01:39:31.899 --> 01:39:35.279 people can punish you through. I experienced 01:39:35.279 --> 01:39:38.079 that for 12 years and there were times that even 01:39:38.079 --> 01:39:41.800 even me I still felt muzzled because I just knew 01:39:41.800 --> 01:39:43.859 there were certain things and I said almost everything 01:39:43.859 --> 01:39:45.279 you couldn't say but there were still certain 01:39:45.279 --> 01:39:47.060 things was like if I lose if I say this then 01:39:47.060 --> 01:39:50.060 I'll lose even some of the guys I have who are 01:39:50.060 --> 01:39:52.539 still my loyal clients you know so it just it 01:39:52.539 --> 01:39:54.800 sucked that aspect of it sucked not the whole 01:39:54.800 --> 01:39:56.500 experience I loved what I did for a living but 01:39:56.500 --> 01:39:59.079 I'll tell you what Scott it is a relief to not 01:39:59.079 --> 01:40:01.640 have to have that hanging over my head now. I'm 01:40:01.640 --> 01:40:03.819 a private citizen. I do what I want. I say what 01:40:03.819 --> 01:40:08.659 I want. I go where I want. And get fucked if 01:40:08.659 --> 01:40:11.220 you don't like it. What are you going to do? 01:40:11.399 --> 01:40:14.699 Not buy cigars from me? Well, that does strike 01:40:14.699 --> 01:40:18.420 me as an option. Yeah. It totally is an option 01:40:18.420 --> 01:40:23.550 now. So this and I had a I did not have a similar 01:40:23.550 --> 01:40:26.510 experience with my retail hospitality establishment 01:40:26.510 --> 01:40:30.590 because I, unlike Paul, was not the sole decision 01:40:30.590 --> 01:40:33.609 maker. There were partners. And so we decided 01:40:33.609 --> 01:40:36.609 early on in the beginning that there would be 01:40:36.609 --> 01:40:39.569 no political stances taken whatsoever in the 01:40:39.569 --> 01:40:41.250 business's name. It would just be completely 01:40:41.250 --> 01:40:42.989 washed of all that stuff, which it's actually, 01:40:43.510 --> 01:40:46.149 it's not terribly difficult to do that. You just 01:40:46.149 --> 01:40:49.000 don't. You just stick with what you do. You know, 01:40:49.039 --> 01:40:50.979 we're a craft beer bar and come in for a premium 01:40:50.979 --> 01:40:53.060 craft beer experience. There's no, you don't 01:40:53.060 --> 01:40:55.420 need to make posts on social media. You don't 01:40:55.420 --> 01:40:57.960 need to post signs in your door with the trans 01:40:57.960 --> 01:41:00.000 Maoist flag, with the sticker. You don't need 01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:01.859 to do anything. Of course, many people choose 01:41:01.859 --> 01:41:04.159 to and when it's your business alone, like it 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:06.439 was Paul's, then you know, more power to you. 01:41:06.460 --> 01:41:10.460 And I can hear the reaction of all the LGBTQ 01:41:10.460 --> 01:41:12.659 plus crowd that doesn't actually exist. We're 01:41:12.659 --> 01:41:15.520 like, yeah, sure, man. You're free to take whatever 01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:17.239 chance you want. But that doesn't mean that you 01:41:17.239 --> 01:41:20.340 get freedom from consequences. And we just never 01:41:20.340 --> 01:41:22.720 wanted to deal with any of that in any direction. 01:41:23.330 --> 01:41:26.270 Even if you don't do that, though, there still 01:41:26.270 --> 01:41:31.069 is plenty of ways that you are vulnerable when 01:41:31.069 --> 01:41:32.770 you have a business like that. Like you said, 01:41:32.850 --> 01:41:35.270 people can use it as a vehicle by which to attack 01:41:35.270 --> 01:41:37.130 you. And I'll give you like just a quick example 01:41:37.130 --> 01:41:39.029 that has nothing to do. I mean, it is political, 01:41:39.029 --> 01:41:42.189 but it's not overt like this in nature. I know 01:41:42.189 --> 01:41:45.590 someone who's a proprietor who just got finished 01:41:45.590 --> 01:41:49.289 settling a lawsuit with one of those professional 01:41:49.289 --> 01:41:52.300 sue you over ADA people. where they go and they 01:41:52.300 --> 01:41:54.020 don't they just like, oh, you have your step 01:41:54.020 --> 01:41:56.140 is one inch too high. So they're going to file 01:41:56.140 --> 01:41:57.779 a suit to the you can just settle with them. 01:41:57.779 --> 01:41:59.619 So they're just they're just making cash grabs. 01:41:59.779 --> 01:42:02.060 That's just another way you can get your financially 01:42:02.060 --> 01:42:04.520 attacked because you're you're daring to operate 01:42:04.520 --> 01:42:07.619 your own establishment. People like that deserve 01:42:07.619 --> 01:42:10.699 a special level of hell. Like in Dante's Inferno 01:42:10.699 --> 01:42:12.619 or something a special level of hell where when 01:42:12.619 --> 01:42:15.979 they die, they actually do like they are crippled 01:42:15.979 --> 01:42:18.359 for all eternity. Yeah, just can't move. They're 01:42:18.359 --> 01:42:21.460 like a quadriplegic. And they're sitting in the 01:42:21.460 --> 01:42:23.600 lake of fire and they just don't get to move. 01:42:23.800 --> 01:42:26.899 Yeah, eighth circle, fourth pit. And also not 01:42:26.899 --> 01:42:28.539 only do you not get to move there, there should 01:42:28.539 --> 01:42:30.220 be some way of like, you know what, you're also 01:42:30.220 --> 01:42:32.909 going to have, you're going to have like a permanently 01:42:32.909 --> 01:42:35.289 increased heartbeat and your hair is going to 01:42:35.289 --> 01:42:37.350 fall out in clumps on account of all the the 01:42:37.350 --> 01:42:40.010 anxiety that is produced by when you you know 01:42:40.010 --> 01:42:41.770 that you have to read these emails and you're 01:42:41.770 --> 01:42:43.670 getting served and it's on your mind all the 01:42:43.670 --> 01:42:46.270 time and it's like ruining the rest of your of 01:42:46.270 --> 01:42:48.369 your waking hours because this thing is gnawing 01:42:48.369 --> 01:42:50.609 at you or is when to go I'll do you one better 01:42:50.609 --> 01:42:54.090 you just have an itch on your nose that you never 01:42:54.090 --> 01:42:56.430 get to scratch because you can't move your arms 01:42:56.430 --> 01:42:57.829 because you're a quadriplegic can't move your 01:42:57.829 --> 01:43:00.659 arms that's right there you go fuck you That 01:43:00.659 --> 01:43:02.500 does seem like an appropriate punishment. I know 01:43:02.500 --> 01:43:04.539 it's insane. There's a lot of examples like that 01:43:04.539 --> 01:43:07.819 where, you know, the just one of the myriad ways 01:43:07.819 --> 01:43:11.979 in which the free and free and prosperous society 01:43:11.979 --> 01:43:13.899 we've set up for ourselves where liberty is a 01:43:13.899 --> 01:43:17.380 value is set up structurally to attack the entrepreneurial 01:43:17.380 --> 01:43:23.680 type. Yep. So I don't blame Mark one bit if he 01:43:23.680 --> 01:43:25.939 can get out and get even close to asking price 01:43:25.939 --> 01:43:28.689 good on him. And then I suspect he I don't think 01:43:28.689 --> 01:43:30.189 he's going to quit being politically active. 01:43:30.489 --> 01:43:31.810 What it will do is it will free him up to be 01:43:31.810 --> 01:43:33.970 even more politically active. He'll be able to 01:43:33.970 --> 01:43:36.489 work, invest a bunch of it, breathe easy financially 01:43:36.489 --> 01:43:40.449 and then not suffer any any, quote unquote, retribution 01:43:40.449 --> 01:43:42.390 or punishment for doing what he's been doing. 01:43:42.390 --> 01:43:44.050 And that's taken a stand and being politically 01:43:44.050 --> 01:43:46.670 active. So I don't blame him one bit. It all 01:43:46.670 --> 01:43:51.210 makes sense to me. He got like 20. It was in 01:43:51.210 --> 01:43:53.710 between 20 and 25 percent, I think, of the vote 01:43:53.710 --> 01:43:55.489 when he ran for governor, which for an upstart 01:43:55.489 --> 01:43:57.670 like that was pretty good. And Kootenai County 01:43:57.670 --> 01:44:00.890 almost voted more for him than they did for Little. 01:44:00.909 --> 01:44:02.869 It was close. It was like fifty five, forty five 01:44:02.869 --> 01:44:06.729 in Kootenai County. Oh, I'm shocked. I mean, 01:44:06.729 --> 01:44:10.829 it is kind of shocking. OK, here is maybe we'll 01:44:10.829 --> 01:44:12.670 close out this week with this final one back 01:44:12.670 --> 01:44:15.750 to more public sector funding, but this time 01:44:15.750 --> 01:44:17.649 it's for all the people who live in the middle 01:44:17.649 --> 01:44:20.060 of nowhere. With the rural healthcare system 01:44:20.060 --> 01:44:22.180 on life support, Idaho is getting nearly - Oh, 01:44:22.239 --> 01:44:24.720 then I'm for it. It's good for me, I'm for it 01:44:24.720 --> 01:44:28.159 now. It's on life support on life's get it because 01:44:28.159 --> 01:44:30.000 this is a story about Medicaid medical stuff 01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:32.279 You know some on life support Idaho is getting 01:44:32.279 --> 01:44:34.600 nearly right billion dollars in federal funding 01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:37.439 to transform Rural health care delivery over 01:44:37.439 --> 01:44:40.699 the next five years about 186 million dollars 01:44:40.699 --> 01:44:43.659 per year the money comes from 50 billion dollars 01:44:43.659 --> 01:44:46.279 Congress set aside last year as a part of the 01:44:46.279 --> 01:44:49.119 one big beautiful bill act It's to revitalize 01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:51.399 rural health care all across the country money 01:44:51.399 --> 01:44:53.899 printer go burr health and welfare says this 01:44:53.899 --> 01:44:56.579 funding is especially important because rural 01:44:56.579 --> 01:44:58.819 communities face some of the most difficult health 01:44:58.819 --> 01:45:02.600 care situations from long, expensive travel to 01:45:02.600 --> 01:45:06.340 limited emergency services. We have pregnant 01:45:06.340 --> 01:45:11.119 moms that are having to travel hours and maybe 01:45:11.119 --> 01:45:14.319 risk giving birth on the road, right? And so 01:45:14.319 --> 01:45:18.039 I'm really hoping we can close some of those 01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:22.079 access gaps with these funds. And I feel very 01:45:22.079 --> 01:45:24.930 optimistic that we will be able to do that. The 01:45:24.930 --> 01:45:28.050 funding is how you can do it deregulate the entire 01:45:28.050 --> 01:45:30.430 industry, allow the free market to work its magic 01:45:30.430 --> 01:45:32.390 and then you would have health care services 01:45:32.390 --> 01:45:39.220 come to them. Fixed. Problem solved. No, it's 01:45:39.220 --> 01:45:43.020 going to take four years for us to even get the 01:45:43.020 --> 01:45:44.880 possibility of solving the problem in front of 01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:46.560 us. It's got to go through a lot of committees 01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:48.920 before we can start having the conversation about 01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:52.140 solving the problem. I do like access gaps as 01:45:52.140 --> 01:45:53.800 a show title. So I'm going to add that to the 01:45:53.800 --> 01:45:55.840 list. Access gaps is good. Well, it'll take at 01:45:55.840 --> 01:45:57.840 least three years just for the money or the line 01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:00.539 of credit to move over to the state of Idaho. 01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:03.260 And then another year or two for them to tabulate 01:46:03.260 --> 01:46:05.920 who should get the money. And by that time, a 01:46:05.920 --> 01:46:07.600 good portion of the rural population that needed 01:46:07.600 --> 01:46:10.199 the medical care is dead. Dead. Problem solved. 01:46:10.199 --> 01:46:13.359 Funding is open to hospitals, clinics and health 01:46:13.359 --> 01:46:16.239 providers. Or if a community does not have those, 01:46:16.600 --> 01:46:18.760 it's also available to non -traditional health 01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:21.920 care spaces like schools, libraries and community 01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:25.659 centers. OK, non -traditional health care spaces. 01:46:26.960 --> 01:46:28.699 Listen to that close. So we're going to funnel 01:46:28.699 --> 01:46:31.289 more money into these. other institutions that 01:46:31.289 --> 01:46:33.369 are always asking for more money. Dude, this 01:46:33.369 --> 01:46:35.729 is a back door. This is a back door mechanism 01:46:35.729 --> 01:46:38.069 is what this is. And normally I'm into that kind 01:46:38.069 --> 01:46:42.310 of action, but not with this. Listen one more 01:46:42.310 --> 01:46:45.710 time to that closing vignette of word, sality 01:46:45.710 --> 01:46:48.829 messaging. The funding is open to hospitals, 01:46:49.069 --> 01:46:52.210 clinics and health providers or. First of all, 01:46:52.489 --> 01:46:55.529 health providers, as in they provide you health. 01:46:57.420 --> 01:46:59.960 Well, what are you talking about man doctors 01:46:59.960 --> 01:47:03.520 and stuff do provide health? Okay, the funding 01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:06.840 is open to hospitals clinics and health providers 01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:09.979 or if a community does not have those it's also 01:47:09.979 --> 01:47:12.300 available to non -traditional health care spaces 01:47:12.300 --> 01:47:15.399 like schools libraries and community centers 01:47:15.399 --> 01:47:18.060 It's so they have to tie it in somehow. So they're 01:47:18.060 --> 01:47:19.880 like, well, you know, it can be for all these 01:47:19.880 --> 01:47:22.520 other things They're non -traditional health 01:47:22.520 --> 01:47:26.020 care spaces as in they have nothing to do with 01:47:26.020 --> 01:47:29.260 that But yeah, what about your local cigar lounge? 01:47:30.199 --> 01:47:33.779 Yeah, come on. No, it's not. It's a non -traditional 01:47:33.779 --> 01:47:37.739 health care space. Dude, my bartenders definitely 01:47:37.739 --> 01:47:40.939 double this health providers. Absolutely. I felt 01:47:40.939 --> 01:47:43.840 I felt better coming out of mental health, spiritual 01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:48.140 health, no cap. I felt better leaving the racketeer 01:47:48.140 --> 01:47:52.100 than I did walking in 100 % of the time. Yes, 01:47:52.420 --> 01:47:55.319 and I'm using the past tense I shouldn't be it's 01:47:55.319 --> 01:47:58.279 it holds today When I when you and I went last 01:47:58.279 --> 01:48:01.100 week and I walked out of there I felt back take 01:48:01.100 --> 01:48:03.640 a big breath in through my nose and I walked 01:48:03.640 --> 01:48:05.760 to my car with my chest puffed out just a little 01:48:05.760 --> 01:48:13.039 bit more than it was when I walked in non -traditional 01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:14.380 space. All right. Well, I got a couple more, 01:48:14.420 --> 01:48:16.579 but you know what? I think it is time for you 01:48:16.579 --> 01:48:20.199 to go hunt some birds. Yep. I think just, man, 01:48:20.199 --> 01:48:22.180 all I can think about is this money printer go 01:48:22.180 --> 01:48:26.600 brrrr. Every story. 50 billion dollars. You know, 01:48:26.600 --> 01:48:28.199 I'm sorry. Yeah, this was a little bit of a one 01:48:28.199 --> 01:48:30.880 dimensional show this week and it was just nothing 01:48:30.880 --> 01:48:34.840 but money. Well, it's not our fault that the 01:48:34.840 --> 01:48:37.800 state is one dimensional. So sometimes, you know, 01:48:37.819 --> 01:48:40.060 we need this money. One dimensional. We need 01:48:40.060 --> 01:48:43.399 this money. Always. It's not enough. It's not 01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:45.779 enough, Paul. Whatever you gave, whatever you 01:48:45.779 --> 01:48:49.260 gave, whatever we took, it's not enough. Yeah. 01:48:49.380 --> 01:48:51.460 Gave. Yeah. Nice. Nice guy. See, they're giving 01:48:51.460 --> 01:48:54.460 you two. Yeah, they are. I caught myself, but 01:48:54.460 --> 01:48:56.840 still it comes flying out of my stupid retarded 01:48:56.840 --> 01:49:01.140 mouth. We can't help it sometimes. The formula 01:49:01.140 --> 01:49:04.720 is the same. It starts like this. We have sort 01:49:04.720 --> 01:49:08.380 of a problem here. It ends like this. Money! 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:12.960 That's the whole show. All right. That's the 01:49:12.960 --> 01:49:15.659 whole, yeah, if the show was the state, yes. 01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:18.859 That's well, and that by default, it's become 01:49:18.859 --> 01:49:20.600 this program, at least this episode. All right, 01:49:20.600 --> 01:49:22.159 we'll go we'll be more diversified next week. 01:49:22.439 --> 01:49:25.699 We will have some diversity. We value diversity 01:49:25.699 --> 01:49:29.560 on this program as part of the podcaster plus 01:49:29.560 --> 01:49:33.300 community. So here I got heirloom, heirloom firearm, 01:49:33.659 --> 01:49:37.359 battered sheik, mammal meat, value season, full 01:49:37.359 --> 01:49:42.560 part time job or access gaps.

It takes work to execute this program 01:49:54.859 --> 01:49:56.920 that both Paul and I put in. It's our heart and 01:49:56.920 --> 01:50:00.159 soul. And so we ask humbly that if you actually 01:50:00.159 --> 01:50:02.739 not humbly, no, the opposite, it would be not 01:50:02.739 --> 01:50:06.000 humble to, it would be humble to not ask.
