No ID is meant for a sane audience. No ID may

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:12.330
contain Liberty -oriented content. PINCO discretion

00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:19.690
is advised. Now, here's No ID with Paul Banducci

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:25.570
and Scott Moskowitz. Alright, I guess we should

00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:28.010
just play the outro straight away. It's No ID.

00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:31.260
It's Idaho's... Mainstream media deconstruction.

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:34.740
I'm Scott. Hello internet. I'm Paul. Yeah The

00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:36.579
25 % of the show has already been done. Yeah,

00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:39.659
we finished it. Yeah pre -show We're in the same

00:00:39.659 --> 00:00:42.640
room and that means French breast coffee fresh

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.000
coffee And it means that we it really feels like

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.899
more than a third of the show. Honestly, if you

00:00:47.899 --> 00:00:51.240
count some of the more casual conversation We're

00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.539
maybe already done. We were discussing having

00:00:53.539 --> 00:00:57.340
a an add -on show that I had aptly named What

00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.820
on earth? where we discussed some national and

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:01.079
some global topics. So we were talking about

00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.439
that. And unfortunately the working title has

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:04.879
to change because we looked it up and there's

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.560
already a podcast called what on earth. I was

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.799
proud of myself though. I thought it was a cool

00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.120
name. Turns out it wasn't that original, but

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.219
so we're thinking we should do a little show

00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:13.980
for that. And then we were talking to Lynn about

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.599
how we also have, should have a post game show,

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.739
but we already did our pregame show, which turns

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:22.439
out was about a third of the show we're going

00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.640
to give you now. that we just did without the

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.819
mics. You know what? Let's let's just start with

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:27.719
what we were talking about. We're just going

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.280
to jump right in. We were talking about snow

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.980
plows and as it pertains to post falls. This

00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:34.519
is going to submit something real fast where

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:36.060
we start the recording that from now on, the

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:37.560
moment you and I sit down in the room together,

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:40.480
we just turn on the mics, put on the headphones,

00:01:40.659 --> 00:01:42.980
turn on the mics and start the show. I can't

00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:45.519
do I need an intro. Call it Paul's pregame. I

00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.849
need an intro. See unless I get something like

00:01:48.849 --> 00:01:52.310
this to start no, I feel like a show Pavlov's

00:01:52.310 --> 00:01:54.709
dog situation here. Okay. Well, I don't know.

00:01:54.790 --> 00:01:58.010
We'll figure that out This is we have not used

00:01:58.010 --> 00:02:01.459
Hagadon news network in quite some time, I think

00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:04.260
since maybe last year for the candidate interviews.

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.340
But I pulled a couple of clips because they were

00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:08.379
the only source that covered some of these stories.

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:10.439
Here's audio from Hagedone News Network about

00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.879
Shoshone County and snow plowing, even though

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.599
it doesn't snow in North Idaho anymore. County

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.020
officials in Wallace say a staffing shortage

00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:19.960
could lead to reduced snowplow routes this winter.

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.419
The local roads department is budgeted for 15

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:26.139
full time employees during non winter months.

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.520
Why in the world? I know Paul's playing air Spanish

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.039
flamenco. I have no idea why this particular

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.979
guitar music is the bed, but that's what they

00:02:33.979 --> 00:02:37.240
chose. Charming but somber. But currently has

00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:41.520
nine. Road supervisor Wayne Corona and shop supervisor

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.659
Larry Hammer told commissioners some routes may

00:02:44.659 --> 00:02:47.539
need to be deprioritized if more workers are

00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:50.939
not hired. Officials say school bus routes and

00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:53.639
main roads would remain the highest priorities

00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.659
full story at Hagadon News Network. So I looked

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:01.080
up there was a an older article from somewhere

00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.460
like in the in April or so where they were trying

00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:06.699
to hire for these positions at 56k a year starting

00:03:06.699 --> 00:03:09.500
salary and they claim and they claimed they said

00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:12.599
that they got no applicants at that number in

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.199
Shoshone. So something is weird and wrong with

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.259
this picture. Those are seasonal jobs, right?

00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:22.110
Cause that's the question. If it's, if it's 56

00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:25.430
K and it's an annual, like a year round job,

00:03:25.469 --> 00:03:28.129
like a normal job, then I could see maybe why

00:03:28.129 --> 00:03:30.669
they might struggle to attract qualified applicants.

00:03:30.990 --> 00:03:34.009
I mean, that's not super low, but it's not super

00:03:34.009 --> 00:03:37.590
hot. It's not competitive, but snow plowing is

00:03:37.590 --> 00:03:40.310
seasonal. So that's my question. Is this, you

00:03:40.310 --> 00:03:42.110
know, six months out of the year, four months

00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:45.289
out of the year, year round, where they drive

00:03:45.289 --> 00:03:47.530
snow plows during the winter. And then, you know,

00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:51.900
they do. County roads works the rest of the year

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:55.599
Yeah, she is the Ted the the headline back then

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.379
with Shoshone County hikes public works pay offered

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:02.719
salary of 52 K generates zero applications So

00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.080
and there was that there was also a report that

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.639
the county was struggling to fill its public

00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.460
works director position with no applications

00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:11.680
at 51 K after two months So there's been this

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.360
is a chronic problem in Shoshone. So it sounds

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.259
like they are full -time gigs. Sounds like it.

00:04:18.259 --> 00:04:20.540
Yeah. I mean, I don't know, unless it's like

00:04:20.540 --> 00:04:22.560
50, it's government work. Maybe it's for like

00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.480
a weekend. I don't know. It's 30, 36 hours a

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.680
week plus all the federal and state and local

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.800
holidays and everything else. Yeah. So then that

00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.939
got me to, um, uh, to, uh, mayor Randy Westland's

00:04:35.939 --> 00:04:38.660
tweet that I was reading. This is where we did

00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:40.800
a half the show before we started the show. See

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.560
the problem here and why they could only offer

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.879
52 K. for the snowplow drivers is because they

00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.459
needed the other 52k that would have also gone

00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:50.779
to the same snowplow driver to afford the snow

00:04:50.779 --> 00:04:52.980
gates for the plow. Oh my God. Okay. See Post

00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:55.000
Falls doesn't have that problem. They're going

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.120
to pay for those snow gates and let, well, they're

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.339
not if Post Falls residents don't pony up more

00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:05.399
money. This is a tweet from Mayor Randy Westland

00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.959
from yesterday, 14 September. It's not Twitter

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.060
anymore, sir. It's X. And he's responding to

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.740
somebody who's bringing up city budget and the

00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:21.000
astronomical numbers, $165 million, 2026, and

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.080
how Mayor Westland, to his credit, has been publicly

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:27.000
discussing cuts. And we're going to, you know,

00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.500
trim this back and look to eliminate this. And

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:30.920
yeah, we're going to we have to raise property.

00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.079
No, it's a multifaceted problem. We have to raise

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.120
property taxes and we have to look for all these

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.500
new sources of revenue possible. And we also

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:40.839
have to cut all these things because we have

00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:42.519
this enormous shortfall. So you need both more

00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.399
revenue, more cutting. But in the tweet from

00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.360
yesterday or whatever the ex post, whatever they

00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.170
call it from yesterday, he said. He's defending

00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:52.290
somebody who was bringing up all these huge numbers

00:05:52.290 --> 00:05:54.790
and some cut he brought up. That's some very

00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:56.850
tiny percentage. Well, I'm sorry, says the mayor,

00:05:56.949 --> 00:05:58.269
but you know, you don't reform a city government

00:05:58.269 --> 00:06:00.629
by magically finding millions of dollars overnight

00:06:00.629 --> 00:06:02.550
and then calling it a day. And he's going on

00:06:02.550 --> 00:06:05.439
part of this tweet is quote. We may get rid of

00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.279
snow gates next. Those are the attachments that

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.899
prevent the plows from leaving a berm of snow

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:13.500
blocking your driveway. Losing those would be

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:15.579
painful for everyone, but unless the residents

00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:18.040
want to keep increasing taxes, the money just

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.980
isn't there. I just thought that was the strangest

00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:24.759
thing to bring up as a specific. The gates on

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.699
the snow plow? We're going to pull the pins and

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.959
get rid of them or or not replace the worn out

00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.180
ones unless you pay more taxes. There's going

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:35.060
to be a berm on your driveway. It's it sounds

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:37.600
like a threat. There's a lot to unpack here.

00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:40.300
Let's start with the original post. The original

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:44.459
post. Is a is a guy who dug in. He's basically

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:46.279
the post was went down the rabbit hole for the

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.000
city of Post Falls, City of Post Falls, according

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.439
to this guy's post, has a budget of one hundred

00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.019
and sixty five million dollars. and the city

00:06:54.019 --> 00:06:55.980
of post falls has roughly 50 ,000 residents.

00:06:56.420 --> 00:07:00.699
So that's 33, we did the math, $3 ,300 for every

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:03.540
man, woman, and child in post falls, which seems

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.339
like a lot. The city of post falls, $165 million

00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:09.639
budget, Scott. Does it just mirror? Does that

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.000
seem like a lot? Like a lot. It seems like a

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.339
fortune for a pretty small city. Yeah. So then

00:07:15.339 --> 00:07:17.699
over the last few weeks as Randy Mayer, Westland,

00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:19.899
like you said, to his credit has tried to be,

00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.800
I think as open about this process as a mayor,

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.720
is probably allowed to be at least thus far has

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.259
identified a few spots where they might make

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:30.100
some cuts, but most of the cuts amount to like

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:32.980
20 grand here or, you know, 15 grand here. So

00:07:32.980 --> 00:07:35.540
the guy in the original post said, okay, budget

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:40.259
of 165 million minus 20 ,000, 20 ,000 is basically

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:44.079
like 0 .00002 % of the budget or something like

00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.399
that. And so the original post is kind of criticizing

00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.360
this whole, what looks to, it looks, it feels

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.680
a little bit like, you know, smoke show a little

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.259
bit of a song and dance here was like, okay,

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:58.199
cool. So you're going to cut 0 .00002 % of the

00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.319
budget. Great. Good for you against 165 million.

00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:05.860
So then that's when Randy Mayer gets on and responds

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:10.620
to this post on X and says, well, you know, it's

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:12.720
harder than it sounds to identify. You can't

00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.949
just overnight find big cuts. Which I think to

00:08:15.949 --> 00:08:17.889
a degree, he's probably not wrong because as

00:08:17.889 --> 00:08:19.829
we, what we know about the system is the system

00:08:19.829 --> 00:08:24.029
is well entrenched. It is hard to cut these things

00:08:24.029 --> 00:08:26.350
once they're established. It's that's the point.

00:08:26.370 --> 00:08:28.870
It's by design. So he's not necessarily wrong

00:08:28.870 --> 00:08:32.870
there, but the way he goes about kind of coming

00:08:32.870 --> 00:08:35.669
off his butt hurt about it. And then essentially

00:08:35.669 --> 00:08:38.289
threatening this residence of post falls with,

00:08:38.509 --> 00:08:40.570
well, Hey, if you don't pay up more, we're going

00:08:40.570 --> 00:08:42.909
to take something that's actually useful to you.

00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:46.019
That's what he's saying. And so we're sitting

00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:51.259
here going, your budget is $165 million. I bet

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:53.279
we can find some things that a lot of people

00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:57.159
here don't want that you could cut. But the thing

00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.240
you threaten us with is the thing a lot of people

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.139
would actually say, yeah, we're actually, if

00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:04.980
you're going to steal the money from us, well,

00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.100
okay, that's a piece of equipment that makes

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:10.269
sense. But this is, this is the formula that

00:09:10.269 --> 00:09:12.389
they use at any level. Like if you recall any

00:09:12.389 --> 00:09:15.029
of the federal shutdowns, they do this with the

00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:17.230
federal shutdowns too. And the federal shutdowns

00:09:17.230 --> 00:09:19.529
themselves are a total misnomer because 85 %

00:09:19.529 --> 00:09:21.570
of the federal government still runs the entire

00:09:21.570 --> 00:09:23.750
time. You know, the news is like the government

00:09:23.750 --> 00:09:25.889
shut down, everybody panic. But then if you look,

00:09:25.929 --> 00:09:27.129
you go, wait a minute, all these people are still

00:09:27.129 --> 00:09:28.470
working. All these people are still getting paid.

00:09:29.289 --> 00:09:30.809
The government's still doing shit. Checks are

00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:33.279
still getting cut. There was no COVID shutdowns.

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.240
Amazon's still functioning. Target and Home Depot

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.580
and Walmart and Walgreens and there's no shutdowns.

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:39.519
There's no shutdowns. But what they do is they

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.779
pick a few select spots that are more forward

00:09:41.779 --> 00:09:43.960
facing or that the public likes, things that

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.659
are popular, and they shut, they close those

00:09:46.659 --> 00:09:49.799
down. So like national parks. The kiosk to enter

00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.000
the park. Classic government strategy to be like,

00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.470
well, without us, you can't go hiking. Nature

00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:59.610
doesn't exist. You have no access to nature if

00:09:59.610 --> 00:10:02.470
the government is shut down. Sorry. Pay up. Let

00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:05.669
me tweak Mayor Westland's tweet to reflect that.

00:10:05.990 --> 00:10:10.250
We may get rid of national parks next. Those

00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:12.789
are those places you like going and enjoying

00:10:12.789 --> 00:10:15.509
the outdoors on public lands, quote unquote.

00:10:16.289 --> 00:10:18.750
Losing those would be painful for everyone. But

00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:20.889
unless the residents want to keep increasing

00:10:20.889 --> 00:10:23.149
taxes, the parks just won't be open. They just

00:10:23.149 --> 00:10:28.879
go away. Okay. Like a fart in the wind. Jesus.

00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.600
Hey peasants, in case you feel like taking a

00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.179
walk on some other property that you don't pay

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:37.600
taxes on, that you do pay taxes on still, because

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:40.279
actually you pay taxes for this too, you can't

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.559
unless you give us more money. So give us more

00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.899
money for the land you own or else you won't

00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:47.080
be able to take a hike on the land that we claim

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.899
that you own. Cause we call it public. I like

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:54.100
your taxes. But yeah, what a way to go about

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:57.659
that. It's it's just sounds. Does he not hear

00:10:57.659 --> 00:11:01.519
how that sounds? Okay, if he did he might not

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.820
say it. Yeah, and this guy this guy is one of

00:11:04.820 --> 00:11:08.879
the most conservative like actual actual fiscally

00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:11.600
conservative and restrained mayors I've ever

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.980
seen in my life anywhere and he's still a fucking

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:17.799
status. Yeah, man hardcore. Yep. Yep, but he

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.460
has to be That is the role you have. There's

00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:24.259
a reason why libertarians never take public office

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:27.100
is because we can't. We'd get in there and be

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:29.480
like, oh, shit, I can't cut any of this. I want

00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:31.159
to get rid of all of this, but I can't. It's

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.519
structurally impossible to get rid of this. I'm

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.159
stuck. Well, as you know, as long as we're on

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.840
paying your fair share, fair share. Right. Here's

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.429
Idahoans paying their fair share. In August,

00:11:42.710 --> 00:11:45.470
Idaho's tax. This is from NPR. Idaho's tax collections

00:11:45.470 --> 00:11:48.549
beat expectations in August. The news comes that

00:11:48.549 --> 00:11:50.429
state officials are trying to hold budget growth

00:11:50.429 --> 00:11:54.190
for a second straight year. Idaho took in 477

00:11:54.190 --> 00:11:58.070
.6 million in August, 37 million more than expected.

00:11:58.389 --> 00:12:01.429
Just about all major tax categories beat expectations.

00:12:01.990 --> 00:12:04.590
Personal income tax led the pack about 41 million.

00:12:04.590 --> 00:12:08.919
We stole more of your income. That's 41 million

00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:12.899
dollars more than expected. 41 million dollars!

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:15.940
Wow. Personal income tax led the pack about 41

00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.220
million above state forecasts. That's only one

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:20.600
quarter of the city of folks false budget. 41

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.840
million. That's chump change. Sales tax revenue

00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:24.639
modest. You can only afford like three snow gates

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.610
for that. Sales tax revenue modestly beat predictions

00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:31.610
so far this fiscal year Idaho has collected 51

00:12:31.610 --> 00:12:34.549
million more in taxes than expected Corporate

00:12:34.549 --> 00:12:37.470
income tax is the lone category that is not meeting

00:12:37.470 --> 00:12:40.809
expectations I love that so meanwhile us business

00:12:40.809 --> 00:12:42.309
owners are like yeah, we know we know how to

00:12:42.309 --> 00:12:46.029
avoid this you know like Yeah, but because there's

00:12:46.029 --> 00:12:47.909
a fine line, but a very important distinction

00:12:47.909 --> 00:12:52.639
between tax evasion and tax avoidance Fine line

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:55.299
governor Brad little has ordered a thin green

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.899
line governor Brad little has ordered state officials

00:12:57.899 --> 00:13:00.379
to keep spending flat to avoid further budget

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:02.899
cuts Yeah, totally hold on governor Brad little

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:05.139
has ordered state officials to keep spending

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:11.440
keep spending Keep spending You are ordered to

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.039
keep spending by decree of the governor You must

00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.179
keep to keep spending flat to avoid further budget

00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:21.529
cuts despite ending last fiscal year nearly The

00:13:21.529 --> 00:13:24.950
snow gates. We can't afford them this year. It's

00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:27.409
berms for everyone. Let the peasants eat berms.

00:13:27.549 --> 00:13:29.169
Finally, they're going to give us something and

00:13:29.169 --> 00:13:31.490
it's a berm. Despite ending last fiscal year

00:13:31.490 --> 00:13:34.389
with nearly 620 million dollars in the black.

00:13:34.850 --> 00:13:37.549
OK, there was 620 million dollars in the black.

00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:40.210
They're running profitably. These sons of bitches

00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:43.929
all year when they get on like Matt Todd's podcast

00:13:43.929 --> 00:13:47.190
on the ranch are like, we don't have enough money.

00:13:47.490 --> 00:13:52.779
Give us more money. Gosh, that's rough. In the

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:56.159
black Wow, they're a business and all the customers

00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:57.879
are just where there's so much revenue Coming

00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.659
from our customers way more than we expected

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:02.700
Why didn't we try this before it turns out if

00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:06.220
we just point guns even harder at them. Oh good

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:10.460
times Let's move on hold an election. So they're

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:12.419
pointing guns at themselves and they feel good

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:18.100
about it Speaking of statists here is NPR reporting

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:22.730
on these statesmen Idaho Statesman owner McClatchy

00:14:22.730 --> 00:14:25.009
Media laid off 10 journalists and three editors

00:14:25.009 --> 00:14:27.730
from the Boise newsroom yesterday. Michael Licklama,

00:14:27.769 --> 00:14:30.350
chair of the Idaho News Guild, the union representing

00:14:30.350 --> 00:14:33.750
most statesman reporters, says that's 60 % of

00:14:33.750 --> 00:14:36.649
the newsroom. Licklama was himself laid off,

00:14:36.769 --> 00:14:38.870
a sports reporter at the paper for 12 years.

00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:41.590
He says he got an email Thursday morning notifying

00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:44.389
him of an HR meeting 30 minutes later. Did you

00:14:44.389 --> 00:14:46.590
hear who that was? That was our friend Michael

00:14:46.590 --> 00:14:49.490
Lick Lama. You remember that? The Lama Licker?

00:14:49.649 --> 00:14:51.450
It couldn't have happened to a nicer Lama Licker.

00:14:51.830 --> 00:14:55.070
That was all the notice that I got and got a

00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:57.350
nonsensical explanation that didn't explain any

00:14:57.350 --> 00:14:58.929
reasons why they're doing the things that they're

00:14:58.929 --> 00:15:01.250
doing. Oh, we can help you with this. Hold on.

00:15:02.350 --> 00:15:06.750
Your market value is far outstripped by what

00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:10.110
you want us to pay you. We have to let you go.

00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:13.029
What? Explain any reasons why they're doing the

00:15:13.029 --> 00:15:14.919
things that they're doing. Doesn't it sound too

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.820
like he's obviously doing a radio interview with

00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:18.639
whatever the NPR reporter doesn't sound like

00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:20.759
he's doing it from Cameron Fry's bedroom from

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.779
Ferris Bueller's day off like all of the curtains

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:24.500
are drawn There's just like tissue boxes and

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:27.200
medications all over that the the nightstand

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.440
and he's just laying there on his back staring

00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.059
at the ceiling Barely getting out the words on

00:15:32.059 --> 00:15:33.779
the phone to the reporter You know, he's already

00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:35.740
had three or four cold showers and been through

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:39.090
at least ten boxes of bonbons McClatchy laid

00:15:39.090 --> 00:15:41.549
off staff in newsrooms across the country yesterday.

00:15:41.750 --> 00:15:44.470
An exact count is unknown. The New York Times

00:15:44.470 --> 00:15:47.070
reports McClatchy told employees subscriber revenue

00:15:47.070 --> 00:15:50.649
at the company had fallen 41%. Who cares? Just

00:15:50.649 --> 00:15:52.789
get more from them. Just increase revenue and

00:15:52.789 --> 00:15:54.809
you'll have more revenue than you expected. Dude,

00:15:54.809 --> 00:15:56.870
just vote for a raise. I don't know why this

00:15:56.870 --> 00:15:58.710
is so complicated. It works for government and

00:15:58.710 --> 00:16:00.789
you guys love the government. Just do what they

00:16:00.789 --> 00:16:03.090
do. Threaten people with violence and vote for

00:16:03.090 --> 00:16:05.389
a raise. and why not why not threaten unionize

00:16:05.389 --> 00:16:07.169
or something i oh wait they already are unionized

00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:09.070
you could always threaten the readers too that's

00:16:09.070 --> 00:16:10.789
like you know what we're going to take off the

00:16:10.789 --> 00:16:12.389
front two and back two pages what do you think

00:16:12.389 --> 00:16:14.950
about that unless you pay more yeah a layoff

00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:17.029
notice mcclatchy sent to union leadership in

00:16:17.029 --> 00:16:19.070
the northwest and what was shared with boise

00:16:19.070 --> 00:16:21.809
state public radio listed changing subscriber

00:16:21.809 --> 00:16:24.210
interests in ways people engage with news as

00:16:24.210 --> 00:16:25.690
the reason for its restructuring you know they

00:16:25.690 --> 00:16:27.429
could do to say as a cost saving measure they

00:16:27.429 --> 00:16:30.429
could cut out the obits Well, they finally have

00:16:30.429 --> 00:16:32.870
a good one to write about their own staff ways

00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:35.289
people engage with news as the reason for its

00:16:35.289 --> 00:16:37.769
restructuring The company says it is focusing

00:16:37.769 --> 00:16:40.769
resources on journalism subscribers value and

00:16:40.769 --> 00:16:42.429
what you got a clue You got to cut that clip

00:16:42.429 --> 00:16:45.009
to management says they are restructuring to

00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:48.610
focus on journalism Just focusing resources on

00:16:48.610 --> 00:16:52.789
journalism Focusing resources on journalism.

00:16:52.870 --> 00:16:55.570
That's not what you guys do. So I checked the

00:16:55.570 --> 00:16:59.710
P &L's and I had an epiphany What if? Hear me

00:16:59.710 --> 00:17:02.769
out here. Don't shoot me down yet. What if we

00:17:02.769 --> 00:17:06.029
focused on journalism? What? It can't be done!

00:17:06.990 --> 00:17:09.430
The company says it is focusing resources on

00:17:09.430 --> 00:17:13.670
journalism. But who will report on the LGBTQ

00:17:13.670 --> 00:17:16.269
community occupying the governor's office? Who

00:17:16.269 --> 00:17:19.210
will report that? Let it be known as a black

00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:21.690
and queer individual. The LGBTQ community does

00:17:21.690 --> 00:17:23.309
not speak on my behalf. Oh, well, I guess we

00:17:23.309 --> 00:17:25.890
don't need that position. Yes. Huh? What? journalism

00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:29.029
subscribers value and what serves local communities.

00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:33.930
Not you. Says the statesman's laid -off staff

00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:36.569
is devastated at how employees and the local

00:17:36.569 --> 00:17:39.750
community are being treated. You go back 20 years

00:17:39.750 --> 00:17:42.750
or so ago and we had a hundred people in our

00:17:42.750 --> 00:17:45.849
newsroom. Now we're gonna have nine. Because

00:17:45.849 --> 00:17:48.519
you're irrelevant. You totally didn't do this

00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:50.920
to yourselves though. All they've been saying

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.380
is nobody could have seen this coming. It was

00:17:53.380 --> 00:17:56.099
a total shock to everybody. We did on this program,

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.119
I don't know what, 10, 12 episodes ago, they

00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:01.440
went on strike. They struck. And we mentioned

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:04.640
that this, I think explicitly we mentioned that

00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.339
something like this might be coming down the

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:10.579
pipe because that's what follows when you strike

00:18:10.579 --> 00:18:12.740
and do this sort of thing. And make demands.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.880
The company is on the verge of bankruptcy. What

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.990
should we do? I know. We'll go on strike and

00:18:16.990 --> 00:18:19.890
ask for more money. We got fired? Who could have

00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:21.750
seen this coming? What did we do to deserve this?

00:18:21.750 --> 00:18:25.990
Not the HR department. We're journalists. Hey,

00:18:26.009 --> 00:18:28.309
check it out, Scott. So we are definitely on

00:18:28.309 --> 00:18:31.690
our way up because now we only have seven fewer

00:18:31.690 --> 00:18:33.789
staff members than the Idaho Statesman, dude.

00:18:34.210 --> 00:18:37.490
The Idaho Statesman only has 350 % bigger staff

00:18:37.490 --> 00:18:44.549
than us. 350%. The result of that is our community

00:18:44.549 --> 00:18:48.529
will get less of the news they need and more

00:18:48.529 --> 00:18:51.890
politicians, more companies, more, you know,

00:18:51.950 --> 00:18:54.289
shady business will get away with more things

00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:56.069
because there are fewer watchdogs. Oh, sure.

00:18:56.250 --> 00:18:58.930
That's right. That's right. Listen, the bad guys

00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:01.329
are going to get away with more because the Idaho

00:19:01.329 --> 00:19:03.609
statesman isn't there to stop them to account.

00:19:03.930 --> 00:19:05.950
We're going to keep the politicians and bureaucrats

00:19:05.950 --> 00:19:08.950
to account. And then this guy wonders why he's

00:19:08.950 --> 00:19:13.089
irrelevant and fired. Says the literal mouthpiece

00:19:13.089 --> 00:19:16.630
for the apparatus. Crazy. Can you really be that?

00:19:17.289 --> 00:19:19.829
What bubble must this guy live in? I don't know,

00:19:19.910 --> 00:19:21.930
but I'm imagining this guy imagining himself

00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:25.509
as Clark Kent. We're like, a politician that

00:19:25.509 --> 00:19:27.769
I don't like did something I don't like. Where's

00:19:27.769 --> 00:19:31.009
the nearest phone booth? Changes into his investigative

00:19:31.009 --> 00:19:33.150
journalism outfit, complete with his fedora and

00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:36.670
his glasses. Point me to the conspiracy. I'll

00:19:36.670 --> 00:19:39.690
track it down. Dun -dun -dun -dun. We have more

00:19:39.690 --> 00:19:41.450
things because there are fewer watchdogs in this

00:19:41.450 --> 00:19:47.210
community. Watchdogs. It's so good. This guy

00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:50.029
really believes that. He does. unionized newsroom

00:19:50.029 --> 00:19:52.130
employees went on a one -day strike earlier this

00:19:52.130 --> 00:19:54.630
year protesting AI content and what they called

00:19:54.630 --> 00:19:57.049
unfair wages. They had just finally reached a

00:19:57.049 --> 00:19:59.269
contract with McClatchy a few months ago. The

00:19:59.269 --> 00:20:00.990
Oklahoma says they're organizing with unions

00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:03.309
across the country now to see what options they

00:20:03.309 --> 00:20:06.170
have, and they plan to enforce the terms of their

00:20:06.170 --> 00:20:07.589
current contract. We're going to unionize even

00:20:07.589 --> 00:20:11.250
harder now. That'll show you. Did you hear the

00:20:11.250 --> 00:20:14.970
NPR reporter channeling the unions, sort of threatening?

00:20:15.210 --> 00:20:17.170
Listen, this is the very end of the clip. And

00:20:17.170 --> 00:20:19.490
they plan to enforce the terms. of their current

00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:24.450
contract, quote, to a T. To a T. So now that

00:20:24.450 --> 00:20:27.730
there are seven of us left, we're really, we

00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:29.950
mean it this time. We really mean it this time.

00:20:30.289 --> 00:20:34.390
We have the power, don't you know? In the age

00:20:34.390 --> 00:20:36.750
where machines are gonna take most of our jobs.

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.740
And rightfully so because most people actually

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:42.980
have such little market value. It's crazy. People

00:20:42.980 --> 00:20:44.740
think they're so much more valuable than they

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:47.440
actually are. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.640
so sad and it'd be so sad if it wasn't so hilarious,

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.759
but just the notion that these guys complain

00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.720
about AI taking their jobs and instead of thinking

00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:58.779
to themselves the way I would think, which is

00:20:58.779 --> 00:21:00.980
how can I be better at my job or how can I add

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:03.059
more tools to my tool belt? Or like, you know,

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.869
my job is at risk. How can I add more value to

00:21:06.869 --> 00:21:09.289
the company so they want to keep me around or

00:21:09.289 --> 00:21:11.369
add more tools to my tool belt? So when I do

00:21:11.369 --> 00:21:15.529
lose this job, I have other skill sets. No, these

00:21:15.529 --> 00:21:20.269
NPCs can only think of one thing, strike. Demand,

00:21:20.289 --> 00:21:22.950
demand more, demand more, give us more or else

00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:25.109
company that's literally telling you to your

00:21:25.109 --> 00:21:27.250
face. We can't afford you. And your response

00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:30.940
is pay me more. And then. They fire you and you're

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:33.539
like, oh, it just came out of nowhere. Whoa.

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.299
How could this have happened? Who's going to

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:38.700
stop the bad guys now? When Lick Lama was in

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:41.420
need, I have to actually pull that up. I've you

00:21:41.420 --> 00:21:44.000
I get the feeling you're not like encyclopedically

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.160
familiar with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. No. Are

00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:48.460
you? No, I knew you weren't. OK, I'm actually

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:49.819
going to tell you something absolutely shocking

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:51.519
here. Don't you dare tell me you've never seen

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.799
it. Oh, my God. I know all the tropes. I know

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:56.420
the memes. I know the tropes. I've never seen

00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:58.019
it. It's not my brand of humor, man. It's not

00:21:58.019 --> 00:22:09.539
my brand of humor. I'm sorry. Hello? Cameron

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:14.059
babe, what's happening? Very little. How do you

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:20.579
feel? Shredded. Is your mother in the room? She's

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:23.559
in Decatur. Unfortunately, she's not staying.

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.380
Where are you? I'm taking the day off. Now get

00:22:28.380 --> 00:22:29.940
dressed and come on. This is us doing the show

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:32.220
and Michael Licklam is in Cameron's bedroom.

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:34.799
Hell yeah. That's all in your head. Come on over.

00:22:35.210 --> 00:22:36.809
It's a hole in your head. I feel like complete

00:22:36.809 --> 00:22:39.829
shit, Ferris. I can't go anywhere. I'm sorry

00:22:39.829 --> 00:22:42.430
to hear that. Now come on over here and pick

00:22:42.430 --> 00:22:47.029
me up. Maybe we should reach out to the statesmen.

00:22:51.289 --> 00:22:53.150
I'm thinking we're gonna have some show art here

00:22:53.150 --> 00:23:02.170
maybe. Yes. Dang. You're not dying. You just

00:23:02.170 --> 00:23:07.720
can't think of anything good to do. You know,

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:09.480
that's actually the statesman journalists in

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.920
a nutshell right there. You're not dying You

00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:13.920
just can't think of anything good to do You know,

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:16.579
I am NOT a big John Hughes guy either, you know

00:23:16.579 --> 00:23:20.559
16 candles pretty pink breakfast club But Ferris

00:23:20.559 --> 00:23:22.740
Bueller's is an exception. I'm sure it's phenomenal.

00:23:22.819 --> 00:23:25.000
I'll get around. It's fabulous movie. Maybe when

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.119
I have my own Lick Lama style crash out. I'll

00:23:29.150 --> 00:23:31.029
put on Ferris Bueller's day off and make myself

00:23:31.029 --> 00:23:33.289
feel better. I want to somehow get like a guy

00:23:33.289 --> 00:23:37.049
like in Cameron's bedroom, but he's licking llamas

00:23:37.049 --> 00:23:38.369
or something. I don't know. I have to have to

00:23:38.369 --> 00:23:40.509
work it out in my head. But, you know, if you

00:23:40.509 --> 00:23:43.009
like to and call me in the morning, if you lick

00:23:43.009 --> 00:23:45.190
llamas, you might get a disease. You know, they've

00:23:45.190 --> 00:23:47.349
been hammering. Well, they are always hammering

00:23:47.349 --> 00:23:51.170
on something epidemic. This is from KREM Channel

00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:54.869
2. It's titled Measles Cases Comma Deaths on

00:23:54.869 --> 00:23:58.390
the Rise Nationwide. The entire mainstream apparatus

00:23:58.390 --> 00:24:00.529
is getting blanketed with this. So obviously,

00:24:00.750 --> 00:24:04.430
Pfizer did a huge ad buy, huge ad buy. And here's

00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:06.529
what everything is sounding like from coast to

00:24:06.529 --> 00:24:08.369
coast. Lama tested. A 40 -year -old woman is

00:24:08.369 --> 00:24:10.869
the latest measles -related death that was now

00:24:10.869 --> 00:24:13.029
reported in Pennsylvania. And it is the third

00:24:13.029 --> 00:24:15.549
death in the state this year involving the virus

00:24:15.549 --> 00:24:19.170
as the U .S. deals with it. That's like one every

00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:36.190
three months. You're gonna die. You know who

00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:47.950
Dr. Celine Gounder is, right? An expert. Does

00:24:47.950 --> 00:24:51.660
she sound familiar to you? Raw milk? Think of

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:54.279
it as raw sewage. That is Dr. Celine Gounder,

00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:56.299
who thinks that cows poop out of their udders.

00:24:56.380 --> 00:24:59.319
It's heavily fecal contaminated. Think about,

00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:01.740
you know, where the cows, you know, their feces

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:04.400
are. I wonder if they're going to follow up and

00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:06.619
tell us how many people who drink raw milk got

00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:08.940
the measles. A record number. A record number.

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:12.279
Oh. Cases are surging. This is why cases, cases,

00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:16.160
cases are solved. It's probably only raw drink

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.640
milkers who got measles. Raw drink milkers? Raw

00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:23.200
milkers. It's a show title. Raw drink milkers.

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.579
And you know what milkers are, right? Measles

00:25:27.579 --> 00:25:30.539
is one of the most infectious diseases known

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:35.680
to man. So this is the go -to expert for when

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:40.640
pharma or big dairy or any conglomerate industries

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.039
want to have somebody shill on national television.

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.640
Sponsored by Pfizer. Dr. Celine Gounder is one

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.140
of the go -to's. Brought to you by Pfizer. Because

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:50.859
she's always willing to say anything to fear

00:25:50.859 --> 00:25:53.900
monger into a camera lens. I'd love to see the

00:25:53.900 --> 00:25:57.119
video of her because I bet her white doctor laboratory

00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.140
coat has just like patches of all her sponsors,

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:06.680
like Pfizer and Moderna. The stethoscope around

00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:08.440
her neck just moving out of the way and check

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:09.920
the logo underneath. There's all these logos

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.700
and patches. This is why it requires such high

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:17.019
levels of immunity to prevent community transmission.

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:20.839
If you fall below 95 % vaccination, you're going

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.210
to see community spread at some point. We're

00:26:23.210 --> 00:26:26.769
at 94 .9. Sound the alarm. Pennsylvania is home

00:26:26.769 --> 00:26:29.109
to the largest current outbreak in the country.

00:26:29.690 --> 00:26:30.950
The latest measles -related death. We're gonna

00:26:30.950 --> 00:26:32.869
blame the Quakers. A 40 -year -old woman with

00:26:32.869 --> 00:26:35.450
underlying conditions who had not been vaccinated.

00:26:36.470 --> 00:26:39.569
I looked up, I was like... Now, they said a 40

00:26:39.569 --> 00:26:41.410
-year -old woman with underlying conditions and

00:26:41.410 --> 00:26:44.609
they didn't specify. I was like, she's 750 pounds

00:26:44.609 --> 00:26:47.130
and had stage seven brain cancer. Or has some

00:26:47.130 --> 00:26:49.890
sort of heart, some pulmonary disease or some

00:26:49.890 --> 00:26:52.630
kind of, you know, like super AIDS mixed with

00:26:52.630 --> 00:26:55.509
asthma or something like that. She got, oh, you

00:26:55.509 --> 00:26:57.609
know, you make the AIDS comparison, you kid,

00:26:57.670 --> 00:26:59.869
but wait till later in this clip. I tried to

00:26:59.869 --> 00:27:02.910
look up, like, what were those comorbidities

00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:04.640
or whatever? Couldn't find it. Doesn't seem to

00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.420
be publicly available information. But I guarantee

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:10.819
you she had 18 different things and was 600 pounds.

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:12.980
Oh, it's like how with COVID. I mean, we're I

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:14.980
know we're I know we beat that horse till it's

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:17.240
dead and dead and dead. But most everybody who

00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.799
died from COVID was one of three or all of three

00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:24.960
things over the age of 65 overweight or over

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.690
medicated. and had underlying health issues.

00:27:27.690 --> 00:27:29.789
And even that it was bull crap because they got

00:27:29.789 --> 00:27:31.529
incentivized to change the death certificates,

00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:34.250
yeah. Bit by a shark, death by COVID. In a statement

00:27:34.250 --> 00:27:36.509
posted on Facebook, Jefferson County coroner

00:27:36.509 --> 00:27:39.509
Greg Furlong said, this is a heartbreaking loss

00:27:39.509 --> 00:27:42.470
for the family and an unfortunate reminder that

00:27:42.470 --> 00:27:45.430
measles can be a serious and potentially life

00:27:45.430 --> 00:27:48.390
-threatening disease. Dr. Gounder reminds that

00:27:48.390 --> 00:27:52.569
measles is much more than a fever or rash. Measles

00:27:52.569 --> 00:27:54.650
infects the immune system. So you can think of

00:27:54.650 --> 00:27:58.650
it a little bit like In the case of measles is

00:27:58.650 --> 00:28:05.170
AIDS. I win. Measles infects the immune system.

00:28:05.289 --> 00:28:07.089
So you can think of it a little bit like HIV.

00:28:07.569 --> 00:28:10.829
In the case of measles, it is erasing your immune

00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:14.869
system's memory to various infections or vaccination.

00:28:16.309 --> 00:28:18.990
Hey, immune system, come on over here. Okay.

00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:20.950
We're going to, I'm going to put you in the hat.

00:28:21.099 --> 00:28:23.920
Okay. It's a normal top hat. See audience? It's

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.099
a normal top hat. Now into the top hat goes the

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:29.519
immune system. To various infections. Well, you

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:31.720
see this top hat with the Pfizer patch on it,

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:34.200
if we put it into this top hat, we pull it back

00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:36.380
out and it's still there. The top hat doesn't

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:40.059
have the Pfizer patch. Poof, it's gone. To various

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:42.440
infections or vaccinations you got in the past.

00:28:43.140 --> 00:28:44.920
And that leaves... So your prior vaccinations

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.240
don't matter. Yeah, you've erased them. Your

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.660
body doesn't remember them any longer. to various

00:28:51.660 --> 00:28:54.019
infections or vaccinations you got in the past.

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:58.059
And that leaves infants and children highly vulnerable

00:28:58.059 --> 00:29:00.079
to bacterial infection. Highly vulnerable. Won't

00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.839
somebody please think of the children? We went

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:05.880
from middle -aged women to babies. And that leaves

00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:09.059
infants and children highly vulnerable to bacterial

00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:10.839
infections. And then in the next two to three

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.920
years, during this window where their immune

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:15.940
system is not properly protecting them, they

00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:17.960
then get these other infections and that's what

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.200
they ultimately die from. I don't see what the

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:24.579
big deal is about. I mean, we have a middle -aged

00:29:24.579 --> 00:29:26.980
woman lecturing us about children in this day

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:29.299
and age. We should probably just keep those two

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:31.339
subgroups separated from each other anyways.

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:35.799
Dr. Celine Gounder is not allowed to buy exercise

00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.900
bands. No. Won't somebody please think of the

00:29:38.900 --> 00:29:41.099
children? Anyway, do you sell any other silicone

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:43.480
rubber products? Or a vaccine for getting the

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:45.259
big sad so you don't strangle your own kids?

00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:49.420
Was that too on the nose? Too soon. Measles vaccination

00:29:49.420 --> 00:29:51.940
rates have dropped significantly since the pandemic.

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.000
Oh, gee, why might that be? You watchdog journalists,

00:29:56.140 --> 00:29:58.640
why might that be? Hey, you be quiet without

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.240
them. people be getting away with this shit significantly

00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:04.420
since the pandemic while vaccine exemptions not

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:07.339
for medical reasons have increased. Oh, is that

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:11.980
right? I wonder why I guess people have just

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:14.599
gotten way dumber, huh? Health officials stress

00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.960
two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97 % effective

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:22.099
and provide protection for life for most. Wait,

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:25.279
I thought I thought I thought it was erasing

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.799
our immune systems and I thought the other vaccinations

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:31.119
didn't matter. So what's the deal? I don't understand.

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.539
My memory's been erased. I don't even remember

00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:36.079
what this clip was about. I need to boost. Boost.

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.960
Super boost. I absolutely loved that clip. That

00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:41.240
was just a phenomenal. It was on Creme Channel

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.059
too, but there was no like Idaho specific thing

00:30:44.059 --> 00:30:45.720
in here, even though it was on an Idaho affiliate,

00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.059
because every affiliate from coast to coast is

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:50.099
being blanketed with it. Dr. Selene Gounder did

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:52.549
the national. you know, whatever, spokesperson

00:30:52.549 --> 00:30:55.230
rollout, like she always does. She and several

00:30:55.230 --> 00:30:57.390
others are in like a recur, they're like a Rolodex

00:30:57.390 --> 00:30:59.490
of shills that get called upon for this incident.

00:30:59.930 --> 00:31:02.990
So measles, it just killed a 40 year old unvaccinated

00:31:02.990 --> 00:31:05.789
woman. It's going to kill all the babies and

00:31:05.789 --> 00:31:08.210
infants. It's going to kill you. It's like AIDS,

00:31:08.910 --> 00:31:11.670
but, but not if you get vaccinated. That's what

00:31:11.670 --> 00:31:13.690
they're, that's what they said. Sign me up. I'll

00:31:13.690 --> 00:31:17.170
take two. They're small. Brought to you by Pfizer.

00:31:18.009 --> 00:31:21.420
Okay. That was measles. So look out. The air

00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:25.160
is dangerous. Thank God for these watchdogs.

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:27.440
Man, what would we do without them in the mainstream

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:28.740
media? Doing the Lord's work out there, man.

00:31:28.740 --> 00:31:30.779
Oh my God. God, there's only nine of them left

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:35.039
at the Statesman. What are we going to do? Okay,

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:39.400
we're only at 33. Huh. We're getting through

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:43.359
a lot of clips today. How's about, do you want

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:49.819
to do ice or Coeur d 'Alene schools? Let's do

00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:51.759
Coeur d 'Alene schools. Because we gear up for

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:53.680
election season, people in Coeur d 'Alene will

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:55.660
have to decide whether they want to pay more

00:31:55.660 --> 00:32:00.980
for schools. Can you imagine? And if you vote

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:04.079
no, you're a heartless monster who hates kids.

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:08.960
Won't somebody please? All of the money obviously

00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:12.440
goes to the kids, not to the teachers unions

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.700
or the buildings or anything like that or the

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:17.339
administrative costs. No, it goes to the kids,

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.500
right? Right, Scott? Doesn't it go to the kids?

00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:22.940
Well teachers pay and unfortunately if you're

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:25.660
gonna if unless you're gonna pay more the art

00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:27.640
program and the music program They're just they're

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.079
gonna go the way of the snowplow Sorry unless

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.539
you want to pay more that is The school district's

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:36.039
current levy is expiring so they're running a

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:38.480
replacement levy right now property owners pay

00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:42.640
$91 a year per $100 ,000 of assessed value you

00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:44.099
notice how they never actually give the full

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:47.400
number like They never, they always do that.

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.960
They break it down that way. We talked about

00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:50.960
this just two episodes ago with the fire levy.

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:55.759
We talk about it only $105 per a thousand per

00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:57.099
a hundred thousand dollars of assessed value.

00:32:57.140 --> 00:32:59.220
Of course, in an area where your assessed property

00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:02.500
is anywhere between 1 .1 and 2 .5 million dollars,

00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:06.160
but it's only $105 per a hundred thousand of

00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.059
assessed value. They never ever, ever actually

00:33:09.059 --> 00:33:12.299
go, okay. So the median home valuation in Coeur

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:20.759
d 'Alene is 650 ,000. 6 .5 times $95 is, I can't

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.680
do math, but we're somewhere in the realm of

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:26.700
like $800, $900. That's the bill. So you're $900

00:33:26.700 --> 00:33:29.140
annual for this, give or take. They never actually

00:33:29.140 --> 00:33:31.519
say it like that, ever. Well, breaking it down

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.720
in that fashion is the job of llama licking watchdog

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.140
journalists like us. Yeah. If the levy passes,

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:41.400
that would go up to $110. Whoa! That means if

00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:43.980
your house is worth $600 ,000, you would pay

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:46.660
about $114 more per year. Oh, but they don't

00:33:46.660 --> 00:33:48.160
give us the full number! Now let's make this

00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.339
to the increase, because it's only $114, man.

00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.759
Paul just whacked the table about as hard as

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.599
he could. $114, you would pay about $114 more

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:57.900
per year. I actually thought maybe, just maybe,

00:33:57.940 --> 00:33:59.160
they were going to give us the total there for

00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:00.819
a minute. I was going to eat my own words, but

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:03.000
nope, I know what I'm talking about. They didn't

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.059
do it. Natalie Keller tells us what that money's

00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:08.500
for. Oh, we have three. What is that money for?

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:11.079
And the first two don't count. The school district

00:34:11.079 --> 00:34:13.719
says that extra money is needed to help keep

00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.619
up with inflation and keep paying for current

00:34:16.619 --> 00:34:19.300
expenses. As those costs go up. It's inflation's

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:21.619
fault. Inflation did it. Inflation did it. As

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:24.079
those costs go up, the district says it needs

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:27.280
more money to pay for things like salaries, academic

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.820
programs, and school safety. The district needs

00:34:29.820 --> 00:34:33.659
more money. Whoops. The levy would also pay for

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:37.000
athletics and extracurriculars, technology, classroom

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.300
supplies, and other operating expenses. Those

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:43.219
levy dollars wouldn't go toward any new expenses.

00:34:43.500 --> 00:34:46.699
Same stuff before and as before, and it's just

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:49.260
costing more as everybody knows. The levy amounts

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:51.480
to about a quarter of the district's funding.

00:34:51.739 --> 00:34:53.860
That's because the district doesn't get enough

00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:56.280
federal and state money to pay for everything.

00:34:56.900 --> 00:34:59.820
In Idaho, school funding is based off average

00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:02.840
attendance in each district. not the actual number

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:05.539
of students enrolled. That means the district

00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:09.380
loses about $45 every time a student is absent.

00:35:09.739 --> 00:35:12.000
We have pretty good daily attendance at around

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.000
92%, but that means you're leaving 8 % funding

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.440
on the table. So this this levy does help fill

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:20.039
that gap as well. The district says if the levy

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:23.039
doesn't pass, they have to make significant cuts,

00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:26.800
including layoffs, larger class sizes and reducing

00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.639
services. That's how involved that levy really

00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.420
is. We've been very fortunate. The levy has been.

00:35:34.339 --> 00:35:37.099
supported by our community since the 80s. I like

00:35:37.099 --> 00:35:38.840
his hesitation when he was trying to figure out

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:41.480
how to phrase that. The levy has been extracted,

00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:47.409
stolen from, for 40 plus years. supported by

00:35:47.409 --> 00:35:49.570
our support since the eighties. And I think we

00:35:49.570 --> 00:35:52.250
do a really good job of getting the, the message

00:35:52.250 --> 00:35:55.349
out as to what that levy funds. We do read. We

00:35:55.349 --> 00:35:57.969
do a great job of propagandizing it every election

00:35:57.969 --> 00:36:00.170
cycle. Well, yeah, you do because you have the

00:36:00.170 --> 00:36:02.250
press as your mouthpiece. You have all of the

00:36:02.250 --> 00:36:04.929
leader, leader, leaders is your mouthpiece. All

00:36:04.929 --> 00:36:08.150
of the watchdogs is your mouthpiece. Every. Oh,

00:36:08.150 --> 00:36:09.949
and, and I love my favorite part is all of the

00:36:09.949 --> 00:36:11.829
teachers who send little Johnny and little Jenny

00:36:11.829 --> 00:36:15.050
home for weeks on end and say, tell your parents

00:36:15.050 --> 00:36:17.849
to vote. Yes. or else life as you know it will

00:36:17.849 --> 00:36:21.630
end here. The message out as to what that levy

00:36:21.630 --> 00:36:25.030
funds and the necessity of that funding, it's

00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:28.230
really a fundamental levy. If it passes, the

00:36:28.230 --> 00:36:31.510
new taxes would take effect next summer and continue

00:36:31.510 --> 00:36:34.170
for the next two years. And if the levy does

00:36:34.170 --> 00:36:36.960
not pass in November... Then you're going to

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.619
get put. It's going to get put in front of you

00:36:38.619 --> 00:36:41.000
until you vote correctly. You stupid bleeds.

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.059
And if the levy does not pass in November, it

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:46.320
would be up to the school board to decide whether

00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:49.980
they want to try to do it again. Which why don't

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:52.480
we ever get that option, Scott, when we vote

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.559
no. And on the rare, on the rare occasion that

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:58.920
no wins, which happens once in a blue moon and

00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.039
they get to fucking do it again anyway. Three

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:04.159
months later. But we never, ever, ever get to

00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.679
mulligan when no wins. Like when yes wins, I

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:11.019
should say. When yes for the levy wins, we never

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:12.800
get to be like, oh, well, let's do it. Put the

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:14.219
levy up there again. I'd like a revote, please.

00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:16.460
Yeah, revote. The district says it needs more

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:18.780
money. Well, that's why. That's the answer. The

00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:21.619
district says it needs more money. You'll never

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:23.480
guess what the district says it needs. The district

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:26.739
doesn't get enough. Is this an ask Paul? Is it

00:37:26.739 --> 00:37:28.599
getting enough? The district doesn't get enough.

00:37:28.889 --> 00:37:32.710
Wait, I know this one. Ask Paul. OK, let's just

00:37:32.710 --> 00:37:34.030
do it. All right. I don't even know what the

00:37:34.030 --> 00:37:35.670
question is going to be. I wish I had my sound

00:37:35.670 --> 00:37:38.130
bite. Here comes the question. Big or small?

00:37:38.329 --> 00:37:40.710
Make your guess before we call. The game begins.

00:37:40.969 --> 00:37:44.929
It's ask Paul. Brought to you by Pfizer. Does

00:37:44.929 --> 00:37:49.090
the district get enough? Money. You want to try

00:37:49.090 --> 00:37:52.030
that again? Does the district get enough? Money.

00:37:53.429 --> 00:37:55.989
Sticking with money. Does the district get enough?

00:37:56.230 --> 00:38:00.000
I'll take more money. For nine hundred doesn't

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.099
get enough I win doesn't get enough doesn't get

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:07.940
enough more extra money Many more shmeckles,

00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:11.219
please The district says it needs more money.

00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.940
We need a some show art that has well It's groundhog

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:20.599
fat again slobby person with this giant ass tray

00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:25.539
full of food the coin Please peasants. Give me

00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:29.880
more or maybe us as the plebes, the peasants

00:38:29.880 --> 00:38:32.300
who are being extorted. We just go like, please

00:38:32.300 --> 00:38:35.139
sirs, maybe keep some more of what was ours to

00:38:35.139 --> 00:38:36.719
begin with. I don't know something. We'll, we'll.

00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:39.940
Okay. I mean, I immediately flashed on Ben Stiller's

00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:41.880
character from dodge ball at the very end where

00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.039
he's eating the chicken and he's in the fat suit,

00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:46.800
you know, something like that. Yeah. I won that

00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:50.300
tournament fucking Chuck Norris. And now he's

00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:53.059
eating the giant tub of ice cream. Actually really,

00:38:53.059 --> 00:38:55.900
maybe the better one would be, uh, Ben Stiller

00:38:55.900 --> 00:38:59.980
from Zoolander was like, how can the kids learn

00:38:59.980 --> 00:39:02.840
how to read good if they can't even fit inside

00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:06.519
the building? A center for ants? Yes. The district

00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:12.179
doesn't get enough. It needs to be at least three

00:39:12.179 --> 00:39:16.760
times bigger. More money. He's absolutely right.

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:20.800
All right. Let's move along here. One more and

00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:24.539
then we'll do a mid show. Uh, this is as long

00:39:24.539 --> 00:39:26.940
as I, you know what I would love again for them

00:39:26.940 --> 00:39:28.820
to, uh, I said this earlier when we were off

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:30.619
show when we should have had the mics rolling

00:39:30.619 --> 00:39:33.679
in the pre -show show, the city of Coeur d 'Alene

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.960
and the city, all the cities, all government

00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.219
entities should have a website page dedicated

00:39:39.219 --> 00:39:42.119
to their budget where we, we as the filthy peasants

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.199
who are forced to fund this bullshit can go and

00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.050
look line for fucking line. At the budget and

00:39:49.050 --> 00:39:51.809
it needs to be like so it's 2026 We should be

00:39:51.809 --> 00:39:55.170
able to see 2025 at backwards and the school

00:39:55.170 --> 00:39:57.369
districts should do the same damn thing instead

00:39:57.369 --> 00:39:59.329
of them Propagandizing to us. Well, what does

00:39:59.329 --> 00:40:01.050
this stuff go for? Oh, you know all the stuff

00:40:01.050 --> 00:40:04.010
we used to buy before Nothing's changed instead

00:40:04.010 --> 00:40:08.489
like don't show me Show me Like where is the

00:40:08.489 --> 00:40:10.750
money going? You know 80 % of it of course to

00:40:10.750 --> 00:40:12.510
payroll is all because you know government's

00:40:12.510 --> 00:40:15.539
a jobs program But every time they do this and

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:17.440
they tell us is for school supplies and children

00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.019
and teachers pay, but then you, anytime you dig

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:22.159
into it and you peel it back, it's, it's, it's

00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.019
administrative costs and building maintenance

00:40:25.019 --> 00:40:28.139
and shit like that payroll and payroll. Yeah.

00:40:28.340 --> 00:40:31.920
But, but when it comes to payroll, even it's

00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:35.300
admin costs, like teachers who are making 60,

00:40:35.340 --> 00:40:38.139
70 K who always work nine months out of the year,

00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:39.760
by the way, and complain, it's not enough. Plus

00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:41.480
platinum, Benny's and complain is not enough.

00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:44.199
The money doesn't get to them anyways, and it's

00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.280
their own administrative structure that's devouring

00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.440
the dollars that they want. But they also support

00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:54.699
for it. They support the union and they built

00:40:54.699 --> 00:40:57.199
this own system that then takes their dollars

00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:59.840
that they want from us and instead it goes to

00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:02.340
admin costs. You have superintendents making

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:07.420
six figures and teachers making $48 ,000 and

00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:10.559
they just don't connect the dots. I don't know

00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.480
what makes you think you have the right to look

00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.880
at their budget line items. You're only compulsory.

00:41:16.139 --> 00:41:18.500
The funding is coming from you in a compulsory

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:21.480
fashion. But as the funder who has no choice

00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:22.920
but to fund them, I don't know why in the world

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.059
you would think you should be able to see where

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:26.820
the money's going. It's crazy, right? Therein

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:29.199
is the rub. And they have the gall to look us

00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.239
in the eye and call it public schools or call

00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:35.780
it public lands. But the moment you step foot

00:41:35.780 --> 00:41:39.789
on anything they call public XYZ, If you step

00:41:39.789 --> 00:41:41.869
foot on it without their permission, they can

00:41:41.869 --> 00:41:45.030
trespass your ass. If it's public lands, they

00:41:45.030 --> 00:41:47.110
bar and gate the roads. You're not allowed to

00:41:47.110 --> 00:41:49.429
go there now. If you try to go to national forest

00:41:49.429 --> 00:41:51.449
stuff or whatever and you miss the kiosk and

00:41:51.449 --> 00:41:53.909
don't pay for your ticket to get in, they can

00:41:53.909 --> 00:41:56.550
arrest you for that. You can't do anything without

00:41:56.550 --> 00:41:59.090
permission. If I walked on, you know, you and

00:41:59.090 --> 00:42:00.570
I, if we went down to Post Falls High School

00:42:00.570 --> 00:42:03.690
right now to go shoot some hoops, they trespass

00:42:03.690 --> 00:42:05.920
our asses. We're not allowed to do that. But

00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:08.179
they have the gall to force us to pay for it

00:42:08.179 --> 00:42:13.000
and call it a public school When I read the power

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.460
broker, which I might have described to you or

00:42:15.460 --> 00:42:16.980
on this program I can't remember about Robert

00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:19.760
Moses in New York the the parks director quote

00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.820
-unquote who became the Tsar of all things bridges

00:42:22.820 --> 00:42:25.880
roads and parks and by extension the rest of

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.980
the US followed because city planners were sort

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:30.039
of working underneath the god -king Robert Moses

00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:33.900
from the 20s through the 60s well his first large

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:36.119
is for the project that sort of first put them

00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.619
on the map and started this meteoric rise was

00:42:38.619 --> 00:42:41.340
Jones Beach State Park out in Long Island. And

00:42:41.340 --> 00:42:43.280
they described I'm showing Paul on the map right

00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.699
now because we're in the same room. They described

00:42:45.699 --> 00:42:48.179
what they had to go through because they couldn't

00:42:48.179 --> 00:42:50.940
really eminent domain it because all of this

00:42:50.940 --> 00:42:53.519
land along the way from the city out to this

00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.050
reach stretch of white sandy beach. It was all

00:42:56.050 --> 00:42:58.449
the robber barons. It was all their properties,

00:42:58.650 --> 00:43:00.949
the legacy family properties of, uh, you know,

00:43:01.030 --> 00:43:04.550
the Jews. Uh, yeah. And so, and, and so they,

00:43:04.550 --> 00:43:07.309
there was, so you, so you mean, uh, Fauci's relatives.

00:43:07.369 --> 00:43:10.210
Yeah. Fauci. Yeah. We're okay. Always have to

00:43:10.210 --> 00:43:11.869
play this. If all else fails, he can always move

00:43:11.869 --> 00:43:13.750
back to the motherland of Israel and he'll be

00:43:13.750 --> 00:43:17.409
fine. They had, he had to pull a lot of maneuvers.

00:43:17.570 --> 00:43:20.150
Um, It was complicated and they couldn't just

00:43:20.150 --> 00:43:21.889
eminent domain it they would depend the families

00:43:21.889 --> 00:43:24.889
were too powerful They couldn't do to them what

00:43:24.889 --> 00:43:27.469
they can do to us so that's what made me think

00:43:27.469 --> 00:43:30.530
of it is there was there was a Descriptions in

00:43:30.530 --> 00:43:33.769
the book about how when families would attempt

00:43:33.769 --> 00:43:36.230
to drive out there as automobiles came on the

00:43:36.230 --> 00:43:38.670
scene in the 20s and 30s but before sort of before

00:43:38.670 --> 00:43:42.789
the park was in existence they would Try driving

00:43:42.789 --> 00:43:45.030
through property that belonged to one of these

00:43:45.030 --> 00:43:48.000
families. Good luck there's gates, there's guards,

00:43:48.340 --> 00:43:50.579
there's no, no, no, you can't go on this land.

00:43:50.739 --> 00:43:53.739
This long belongs to the Rothschilds. It kind

00:43:53.739 --> 00:43:55.179
of sounds like what you were just describing

00:43:55.179 --> 00:43:57.059
a little bit, doesn't it? That the public lands

00:43:57.059 --> 00:43:59.699
you were just describing. Yeah. And if you do

00:43:59.699 --> 00:44:01.719
get through the Rothschilds property to get to

00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:04.059
that quote unquote public park, you still don't

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:06.300
have permission. Like unless you have permission,

00:44:06.519 --> 00:44:09.880
you don't get to do anything. But by golly, we

00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:12.820
paid for it. Well, they did. I didn't. I didn't

00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:15.039
live in New York in 1930, but you get the idea.

00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.920
It's like, It blows my mind, man, when people

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:19.320
talk about, like, well, if we didn't have the

00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.039
federal government, we wouldn't have any national

00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:22.920
parks and all the land would get developed by

00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:26.219
megacorps. It's like, first off, OK, cool. That

00:44:26.219 --> 00:44:28.780
means the tax base grows. And secondly, I'd probably

00:44:28.780 --> 00:44:32.460
have more access to most of it. And they'd still

00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:34.260
charge me for it, but they'd open up the roads

00:44:34.260 --> 00:44:38.559
I want to hunt. Either way, I pay, but I'd get

00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:40.699
more access. And if I have a complaint, I can

00:44:40.699 --> 00:44:44.300
talk to somebody. Yes. Hi Jews. There's some

00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:47.840
potholes. Yes. Hello Netanyahu. Hey, could you

00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.840
open up old Forest Service Road 509 for me? I'd

00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.199
like to do some grouse hunting this weekend.

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.159
And I was thinking since we're on such friendly

00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:56.400
terms and I know your buddy Scott Moskowitz,

00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:58.619
maybe you could do me a solid. That doesn't sound

00:44:58.619 --> 00:45:03.239
like a Jewish name. Oh, excuse me. Scott Stein

00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:05.760
Goldberg Moskowitz. Oh yeah. I know that. I know

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:08.530
that family. Yeah. That's the one. They're bankers,

00:45:08.530 --> 00:45:11.489
I'm pretty sure. Here is one more before mid

00:45:11.489 --> 00:45:13.710
show. And this is we've done a we did one of

00:45:13.710 --> 00:45:16.389
these a few shows ago. This is the latest pre

00:45:16.389 --> 00:45:20.449
-roll promo that NPR is running for another NPR

00:45:20.449 --> 00:45:23.530
podcast that, you know, 30 seconds before it

00:45:23.530 --> 00:45:25.110
starts, whatever it is you're trying to listen

00:45:25.110 --> 00:45:28.989
to. This is what plays. What's up? You good?

00:45:29.989 --> 00:45:32.719
Yeah. Oh, there we go. OK. OK. I feel like I've

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.099
been yelling into the microphone the whole time

00:45:34.099 --> 00:45:35.559
because I couldn't hear myself very well. It's

00:45:35.559 --> 00:45:37.559
just because my volume was turned down on the

00:45:37.559 --> 00:45:39.460
odd mobile. Have I been yelling into the mic?

00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.159
No. OK. I'll take care of it in post. This is

00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:46.599
the pre -roll currently running on NPR. I was

00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:48.099
going to do a NASPOL, but it was unguessable.

00:45:49.619 --> 00:45:51.659
What can sheep tell us about the history of Idaho

00:45:51.659 --> 00:45:54.039
in partnership with the Community Library in

00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:55.659
Ketchum and the Trailing of the Sheep Festival?

00:45:56.059 --> 00:45:58.360
The second season of our podcast, Sheepstories,

00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:00.820
returns. The stories from ranchers, herders,

00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:03.019
and communities across the Wood River Valley.

00:46:03.099 --> 00:46:04.860
I thought this was a story about taxpayers for

00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:08.059
a minute. That's why I loved it. Hear how sheep

00:46:08.059 --> 00:46:10.500
shaped Ketchum, how ranching is changing, and

00:46:10.500 --> 00:46:12.940
how generations of people and even sheepdogs

00:46:12.940 --> 00:46:16.420
have kept this way of life moving forward. Sheepstories

00:46:16.420 --> 00:46:18.300
season two. Listen right now on your favorite

00:46:18.300 --> 00:46:21.179
podcast app. Yes, we're going to install the

00:46:21.179 --> 00:46:23.920
flock cameras and while while you're observing

00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:26.400
the flock camera Why don't you listen to sheeps

00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:29.619
of Idaho the yes how sheep have shaped Idaho

00:46:29.619 --> 00:46:33.940
from the watchdogs at NPR? So flock cameras and

00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:35.360
catch them are basically going to be like that

00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:38.519
song from Jack Johnson people pictures of people

00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:42.480
taking pictures of people taking so flock cameras

00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:46.199
watching sheep or watching sheep in catch it

00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:49.219
wow that Who put this out? NPR? Oh my god. It's

00:46:49.219 --> 00:46:51.860
NPR. Pander harder, NPR, please. Pander even

00:46:51.860 --> 00:46:53.820
harder. I mean, that's some pretty pandery stuff

00:46:53.820 --> 00:46:56.900
right there. Hey, Idaho, banjo, sheep stuff.

00:46:57.059 --> 00:47:02.179
Pander, pander, pander. What can sheep tell us

00:47:02.179 --> 00:47:04.519
about the history of Idaho? They can't tell us

00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:07.519
anything. They're too busy paying taxes. Well,

00:47:07.539 --> 00:47:08.900
you know what they say. You can shear a sheep

00:47:08.900 --> 00:47:11.139
many times, but you can only skin them once.

00:47:14.539 --> 00:47:18.059
You gotta clip that too. All right, well, this

00:47:18.059 --> 00:47:20.260
one's already this full of gems. I got so many.

00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:22.500
That's honestly half the work I do in this show

00:47:22.500 --> 00:47:25.539
is pulling sound drops from the episode we just

00:47:25.539 --> 00:47:27.400
did. That's some fine work, by the way, Scott.

00:47:27.619 --> 00:47:30.719
Fine work from you, sir. This is some good stuff

00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.300
this week. Isn't it? The district doesn't get

00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:37.380
enough. They don't get enough. We need money.

00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:40.380
The district says it needs more money. So does

00:47:40.380 --> 00:47:43.539
no ID. Let's be honest about it. Whatever we're

00:47:43.539 --> 00:47:45.739
getting, the district doesn't get enough. It's

00:47:45.739 --> 00:47:50.159
not enough. That's the the value for value model

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:53.539
is what the show runs on. And a little bird told

00:47:53.539 --> 00:47:55.340
me to be more concise with this stupid segment.

00:47:55.380 --> 00:47:58.059
So that's what I'm going to do. We try to put

00:47:58.059 --> 00:47:59.900
out a valuable product with this show. We try

00:47:59.900 --> 00:48:02.179
to make it valuable every week. If you find the

00:48:02.179 --> 00:48:06.099
show to be valuable, you use it as a part of

00:48:06.099 --> 00:48:08.300
your weekly routine, which I've I've gotten many

00:48:08.300 --> 00:48:10.880
messages that. It is like a Thursday morning

00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:12.739
routine for a fair amount of people. It's just

00:48:12.739 --> 00:48:14.820
that they're in their podcast app Thursday morning

00:48:14.820 --> 00:48:16.679
and they go to work or they commute. They put

00:48:16.679 --> 00:48:19.300
in their head earbuds and they listen to the

00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:21.760
show like clockwork. If you find it valuable,

00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.579
which presumably if you're doing that, you do,

00:48:24.820 --> 00:48:26.840
then return some value to the program with your

00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:31.239
time, talent or treasure. That's the model. Time

00:48:31.239 --> 00:48:34.460
and talent is. Sending us articles sending us

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:37.079
show audio telling a friend about the show sending

00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.239
them links forwarding the newsletter Which you

00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:42.300
can sign up for at no ID show calm or any other

00:48:42.300 --> 00:48:44.940
form of? Correspondence and sending stuff back

00:48:44.940 --> 00:48:48.119
to us like boots on the ground reports like notes

00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:50.260
about stuff We missed like notes about stuff.

00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:52.380
We got right anything like or stuff. We got wrong

00:48:52.380 --> 00:48:54.000
which happens to me apparently like every other

00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:57.719
week No, I do show them all you know I shoot

00:48:57.719 --> 00:48:59.900
my shot you can't win them all But if I was playing,

00:48:59.900 --> 00:49:01.400
if I was a baseball player, I'd be like super

00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:05.860
mega pro because I'm batting like 700. The time

00:49:05.860 --> 00:49:07.900
and talent portion are very important parts of

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:11.639
the no agent. Geez of the no ID value for value

00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:14.159
model. And I'm having a Freudian slip because

00:49:14.159 --> 00:49:17.179
the model comes from no agenda. The mothership

00:49:17.179 --> 00:49:20.219
that has pioneered it. for about almost 20 years.

00:49:20.659 --> 00:49:23.159
And it's a simple and honest model. It means

00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:25.460
there's no sponsors. It means there's no advertisements.

00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:28.059
It means there's no outside influences like Pfizer

00:49:28.059 --> 00:49:32.239
or Big Dairy or public sector unions or anything

00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:34.980
like that that makes people be, you know, whatever

00:49:34.980 --> 00:49:38.050
the opposite of a watchdog journalist is. Not

00:49:38.050 --> 00:49:40.690
this show value for value Time talent treasure

00:49:40.690 --> 00:49:43.269
the treasure portion is hugely important it takes

00:49:43.269 --> 00:49:45.409
a lot of work and time and effort to execute

00:49:45.409 --> 00:49:48.289
this program and Treasure helps keep the lights

00:49:48.289 --> 00:49:51.309
on helps keep you know helps pay the bills. Let's

00:49:51.309 --> 00:49:54.570
let's be real No ID show calm sign up for the

00:49:54.570 --> 00:49:56.530
newsletter return value with treasure whatever

00:49:56.530 --> 00:49:59.369
treasure means to you a buck a hundred bucks

00:49:59.369 --> 00:50:01.789
a thousand bucks only you can determine what

00:50:01.789 --> 00:50:03.909
value is means a lot of different things to a

00:50:03.909 --> 00:50:05.909
lot of different people. So we'll just say thanks

00:50:05.909 --> 00:50:07.829
in advance. Do you have a song? I should have

00:50:07.829 --> 00:50:43.159
asked you that. I do. You are my citadel, you

00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:47.460
are my wish, you are my baby blow, oh, oh, oh

00:50:47.460 --> 00:50:50.280
You still like liquor to get me inspired, but

00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:53.239
you look so beautiful, my new supplier I used

00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:55.699
to like smoking to stop all the thinking, but

00:50:55.699 --> 00:50:59.340
I found a different bus The world is a curse,

00:50:59.340 --> 00:51:01.960
it'll kill if you let it I know they got pills,

00:51:02.139 --> 00:54:01.159
I can't help you forget it, they bottle - I don't

00:54:01.159 --> 00:54:03.719
usually do two cups, but I'm going to do it today.

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.219
Throwing caution to the wind. Just a party animal

00:54:07.219 --> 00:54:10.039
like that. Two cups of coffee. Somebody stop

00:54:10.039 --> 00:54:13.019
me. I'm still pretty loaded personally. Paul

00:54:13.019 --> 00:54:15.300
brought, what was the, the roaster you mentioned

00:54:15.300 --> 00:54:17.519
in the last show? Oh, Wilder. Yeah. Wilder coffee

00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:19.559
roasting. Now we have it in the flesh. Yeah.

00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:21.800
Delicious. Even though I didn't make it right.

00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:24.480
Screwed that up. Yeah. But even, even all messed

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.579
up is it was delicious. So imagine when, when

00:54:26.579 --> 00:54:30.500
we do it right. Whatever I made with my cup of

00:54:30.500 --> 00:54:36.099
coffee was not enough All right, well speaking

00:54:36.099 --> 00:54:39.260
of goods and things like making a cup of coffee

00:54:39.260 --> 00:54:43.579
and The story you relate I believe it was just

00:54:43.579 --> 00:54:47.039
the last show about your daughter and the coffee

00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:49.800
Stand or shop. Oh, yeah, she worked out before

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.940
yeah, but it's actually Scott shots time. Oh

00:54:53.940 --> 00:54:55.880
I can't play my audio because I'm here in person

00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:59.119
and I don't have my Laptop. Oh, I'll do it, but

00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:00.800
I can't like I was saying earlier. I need an

00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:05.840
intro otherwise. It's not gonna work All right,

00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:08.719
yeah, that's right. That's um I'm running at

00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:13.019
sunrise in a beanie and a sweatsuit. I'm doing

00:55:13.019 --> 00:55:17.199
shadow boxing. Let's go I'm on the... I don't

00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:18.760
know if I'm on the right side of the tracks or

00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:20.420
the wrong side of the tracks, but I'm on the

00:55:20.420 --> 00:55:22.039
tracks. Oh look, he's in downtown Los Angeles.

00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:24.320
You'll find out soon enough, Scott. He's a Jew

00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:26.539
and all. They'll let you know. There's fires

00:55:26.539 --> 00:55:29.679
burning in metal trash cans. Oh, it's LA. Yeah,

00:55:29.920 --> 00:55:33.440
downtown LA. Tire fires. That's right. Alright,

00:55:33.659 --> 00:55:37.920
let's go. What do we got? So, I love it. I'm

00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:39.679
pretty proud of myself because this ties into

00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:42.639
our What on Earth segment as well. I'm just gonna

00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:45.119
call it that till we get a better name, but...

00:55:45.179 --> 00:55:49.880
Okay, Scott. So this made big news at the beginning

00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:53.099
of this year. Although the survey was done in

00:55:53.099 --> 00:55:54.940
2024. So why it took like a year and a half,

00:55:54.980 --> 00:55:59.159
I don't know. But a survey by Northwestern Mutual,

00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:01.380
which is a wealth management company out of the

00:56:01.380 --> 00:56:04.099
Northeast, even though they're called Northwestern,

00:56:04.539 --> 00:56:08.019
interviewed their boomer clients. Actually, I

00:56:08.019 --> 00:56:09.380
think they interviewed all their clients, but

00:56:09.380 --> 00:56:10.880
most of them are boomers because boomers hold

00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.360
most of the wealth. So it just kind of works

00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.489
out that way. I got a couple of I got a couple

00:56:16.489 --> 00:56:19.090
of questions here. So number one first question

00:56:19.090 --> 00:56:24.650
boomers hold a grand total of How much in like

00:56:24.650 --> 00:56:28.969
in real doll in dollar terms how much wealth?

00:56:30.030 --> 00:56:33.610
in the country of America so just across America

00:56:33.610 --> 00:56:36.429
How much wealth is concentrated in the hands

00:56:36.429 --> 00:56:38.769
of the single generation known as boomers now?

00:56:38.769 --> 00:56:41.110
We're including South America or just North North

00:56:41.110 --> 00:56:44.880
America No, we included the US of A. Okay, just

00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:46.480
clarifying. America. US of United States. Is

00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:49.159
there any other America? I don't even know of

00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:51.000
any other Americas. Well, there's the South one.

00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:54.000
In the words of that lady who was the ambassador

00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:56.960
to NATO, fuck South America. Fuck the EU. And

00:56:56.960 --> 00:56:58.280
North America. Victoria Nuland. It's just the

00:56:58.280 --> 00:57:01.219
US of A. Yeah. America. And you know what? Fuck

00:57:01.219 --> 00:57:03.780
the EU. Yeah, you know, America. I knew that

00:57:03.780 --> 00:57:07.300
on the soundboard, actually. Okay, boomers. uh

00:57:07.300 --> 00:57:10.139
control i think it's um i think it's like in

00:57:10.139 --> 00:57:16.659
the 70s 77 percent oh you're going for percentage

00:57:16.659 --> 00:57:19.579
so i was saying oh total numbers like dollars

00:57:19.579 --> 00:57:21.539
oh my god i don't even wouldn't even know how

00:57:21.539 --> 00:57:29.739
to guess that uh how much uh one 1 .2 trillion

00:57:29.739 --> 00:57:33.739
uh where's your where's your booing or your wrong

00:57:33.739 --> 00:57:39.260
buzzer an estimated $122 trillion. Oh, get out

00:57:39.260 --> 00:57:41.780
of town. Are you, are you serious? Dead serious.

00:57:42.019 --> 00:57:43.559
Now that of course includes real, that's real

00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:45.559
estate. That's not just like, that's not just

00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:47.880
loose, loose Schmeckles flying around. That's

00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:50.159
every that's assets. That's real estate. You

00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.340
know, that's everything. But in real dollar terms,

00:57:52.780 --> 00:57:56.679
it's a hundred and like 22 trillion doll hairs.

00:57:57.159 --> 00:58:00.860
That is hard to, that you can't wrap your mind

00:58:00.860 --> 00:58:03.960
around really what that even means. That's, that's

00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:10.460
insane. Okay. With, well, I guess we'll be more

00:58:10.460 --> 00:58:13.179
specific. Right now they're saying 90ish to 95

00:58:13.179 --> 00:58:17.579
trillion, but a projected 124 trillion to be

00:58:17.579 --> 00:58:20.139
transferred upon, you know, when like as the,

00:58:20.139 --> 00:58:22.840
as that generation passes away. Yeah. It's going

00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:24.780
to be transferred to the in -home care during

00:58:24.780 --> 00:58:27.460
the last month of their life. Yeah. Okay. Follow

00:58:27.460 --> 00:58:31.000
-up question. What percentage is that of all

00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:35.269
the wealth? Accumulated wealth in the United

00:58:35.269 --> 00:58:39.769
States and so okay. Well going with my 70 something

00:58:39.769 --> 00:58:43.389
percent Well that that was so that that's the

00:58:43.389 --> 00:58:47.090
answer. I meant the first time 70 77 percent

00:58:47.090 --> 00:58:51.929
It's somewhere in between 55 and 75. Oh Depends

00:58:51.929 --> 00:58:57.090
on who you ask I'm wrong. It's but Mean I said

00:58:57.090 --> 00:58:59.750
77 over high -end assembly. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's

00:58:59.750 --> 00:59:01.710
over half Yeah, so I looked at three or four

00:59:01.710 --> 00:59:03.730
different articles and I'm gonna go with just

00:59:03.730 --> 00:59:06.309
like just over half Yeah the ish percent cuz

00:59:06.309 --> 00:59:08.889
some say close to 70 some say close to 60 some

00:59:08.889 --> 00:59:11.829
say close to 52 the average consent the Consensus

00:59:11.829 --> 00:59:14.789
average is like 55 percent. Okay, sure. Okay,

00:59:15.050 --> 00:59:17.090
but here's where it gets really good and what

00:59:17.090 --> 00:59:25.970
I'm really driving at what percentage of What

00:59:25.970 --> 00:59:29.190
percentage of them, of boomers polled, say they

00:59:29.190 --> 00:59:34.429
plan to leave anything to their kids or grandkids?

00:59:34.510 --> 00:59:38.030
Well, given that die with nothing is like a cornerstone.

00:59:38.210 --> 00:59:42.550
It was like a best seller. That's a predominant

00:59:42.550 --> 00:59:46.190
ethos. Obviously not everyone agrees with that.

00:59:46.909 --> 00:59:48.889
Some that will leave nothing don't think they're

00:59:48.889 --> 00:59:51.690
gonna, but they will torch it all off in the

00:59:51.690 --> 00:59:54.570
last couple of months. paying in home care. I

00:59:54.570 --> 00:59:59.150
mean, I wouldn't imagine it would be that high.

00:59:59.449 --> 01:00:05.909
25 % that day. Close enough. Less than 22 % of

01:00:05.909 --> 01:00:08.610
boomers polled say they intend to leave anything

01:00:08.610 --> 01:00:12.030
at all to their kids or grandkids. One in five

01:00:12.030 --> 01:00:15.150
will openly admit I'm not leaving them jack crap.

01:00:15.190 --> 01:00:19.150
Yeah. And only 11 % polled say that leaving anything

01:00:19.150 --> 01:00:22.360
for their kids or their grandkids. is of any

01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:27.320
high importance. One in ten. One in ten. So nine

01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:29.739
in ten say it's not important to leave them anything?

01:00:29.940 --> 01:00:32.980
Nine out of ten boomers say it is not important

01:00:32.980 --> 01:00:37.239
to them to build, maintain, or leave generational

01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:42.420
wealth. Whoa. I wonder... Now think of that and

01:00:42.420 --> 01:00:44.519
go, okay, there's a hundred, right now there's

01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:47.280
roughly a hundred trillion in play. And by the

01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:50.119
time that the boomers are all fully finally dead

01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:52.440
and gone, it's going to be projected, you know,

01:00:52.500 --> 01:00:57.039
$125 trillion worth of assets, supposedly that's,

01:00:57.039 --> 01:01:01.659
you know, maybe could be transferred. 90 % of

01:01:01.659 --> 01:01:07.500
that will never see their, their, uh, their kids

01:01:07.500 --> 01:01:09.719
or their grandkids or at the least, at least

01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:12.199
it's not important to them that it does. Well,

01:01:12.260 --> 01:01:15.440
yeah, that's true. So 80%, maybe it will make

01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:17.840
their best efforts because they'll kick off and

01:01:17.840 --> 01:01:21.969
their living trust is that I mean, I don't I

01:01:21.969 --> 01:01:24.710
I wouldn't I wonder how that was phrased by the

01:01:24.710 --> 01:01:26.449
pollster because you know the question was something

01:01:26.449 --> 01:01:29.789
like Agree or disagree you I don't think it's

01:01:29.789 --> 01:01:31.150
it like the you know I'm saying like a lot is

01:01:31.150 --> 01:01:32.889
in the way the question is that I can't speak

01:01:32.889 --> 01:01:36.949
to but but For those of us who engage in things

01:01:36.949 --> 01:01:39.929
like history politics Dem philosophy ideology

01:01:39.929 --> 01:01:42.050
and demographics typically we also those of us

01:01:42.050 --> 01:01:44.469
who do that I'm speaking for myself. I guess

01:01:44.469 --> 01:01:46.679
have an interest in demographics as well Uh,

01:01:46.920 --> 01:01:49.579
this rings true, like everything we know about

01:01:49.579 --> 01:01:52.320
the, the generations between the silent generation,

01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:55.119
which is the boomers parents, the boomers gen

01:01:55.119 --> 01:01:58.519
X millennials and Gen Z. So across the five generations

01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:00.860
that are kind of in play right now, this checks

01:02:00.860 --> 01:02:03.719
all the boxes that we know about boomers throw

01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:06.019
that throw into this that another, an estimated

01:02:06.019 --> 01:02:08.059
over 40 % of them haven't even put together a

01:02:08.059 --> 01:02:11.579
will yet. So not only do they not intend to like

01:02:11.579 --> 01:02:12.980
leave, a lot of them don't intend to leave anything

01:02:12.980 --> 01:02:15.119
anyways. Almost half don't have a will? But almost

01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:17.579
half of them have not even considered or given

01:02:17.579 --> 01:02:20.719
enough thought or care to even put together a

01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:23.800
legal document to just help their kids or grandkids

01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:25.760
figure out what to do with all whatever shit

01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.179
they do leave behind. They're not in their 50s

01:02:29.179 --> 01:02:31.719
anymore. No, they're not. In fact, the youngest

01:02:31.719 --> 01:02:36.780
boomers are 62 this year. Almost half do not

01:02:36.780 --> 01:02:43.559
have a will. 1964. is the cutoff. So how's that

01:02:43.559 --> 01:02:46.780
for some sobering stats for you? And I could

01:02:46.780 --> 01:02:48.519
go on. There's a few other stats, but I don't

01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:52.179
want to drag us too... I'll do one more. Then

01:02:52.179 --> 01:02:54.119
they broke these boomers into a different strat.

01:02:54.219 --> 01:02:55.380
I don't want to drag us down more, but here I

01:02:55.380 --> 01:02:58.119
go. But here I go. I can't help it because it's

01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:00.260
just like a car crash. You don't want to watch,

01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:04.610
but you can't look away. They define wealthy

01:03:04.610 --> 01:03:07.349
as a million or more and investible assets here,

01:03:07.349 --> 01:03:08.789
according in this poll, this is how they define

01:03:08.789 --> 01:03:11.849
it. And then, so they take that strata of boomers,

01:03:12.329 --> 01:03:14.969
a million or more in investible assets. And they

01:03:14.969 --> 01:03:19.230
say over 45 % of people in that strata, baby

01:03:19.230 --> 01:03:22.289
boomers in that strata, intend to keep all of

01:03:22.289 --> 01:03:24.010
their money and spend it all in their lifetime.

01:03:24.670 --> 01:03:27.309
Yeah. Die with nothing. Yeah. Die with nothing.

01:03:28.190 --> 01:03:32.150
Can you imagine Working as hard as we've worked

01:03:32.150 --> 01:03:34.090
you and I doing what we've done the sacrifices

01:03:34.090 --> 01:03:36.889
we've made and all that kind of shit Just like

01:03:36.889 --> 01:03:39.969
just for ourselves just to turn around and be

01:03:39.969 --> 01:03:43.309
like that. Fuck you kids. I did all this for

01:03:43.309 --> 01:03:47.849
me also Give me those payroll taxes for my Social

01:03:47.849 --> 01:03:51.070
Security and for my Medicare. Fuck you and fuck

01:03:51.070 --> 01:03:53.789
you again Even though both of those are going

01:03:53.789 --> 01:03:56.369
insolvent and all of that money comes straight

01:03:56.369 --> 01:03:59.590
out of working people's paychecks the young But

01:03:59.590 --> 01:04:06.150
nah, you give me that too. Just simmer on that

01:04:06.150 --> 01:04:08.210
for a minute. Oh, die with zero. Not nothing,

01:04:08.329 --> 01:04:11.610
zero. Die with zero. So this sobering moment

01:04:11.610 --> 01:04:14.750
brought to you by not Pfizer, because otherwise

01:04:14.750 --> 01:04:18.469
more of them would be dead already. You know,

01:04:18.610 --> 01:04:20.510
like, well, it's our money, man. Do whatever

01:04:20.510 --> 01:04:23.639
we want. Yeah, I suppose you can. No, I disagree.

01:04:23.840 --> 01:04:25.079
That's not the way you're supposed to look at

01:04:25.079 --> 01:04:26.960
it. That's not the way that for 10 ,000 years

01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:28.800
of human history, that's not the way people looked

01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:30.820
at it. And biblically, that is not the way we

01:04:30.820 --> 01:04:33.780
are supposed to be that we are told biblically

01:04:33.780 --> 01:04:36.519
that it is a family unit, like that you do things

01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:39.519
for the generations after based on the generations

01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:42.739
before. The chill, let the children come to me

01:04:42.739 --> 01:04:45.179
says Jesus, the children matter. We do this for

01:04:45.179 --> 01:04:47.880
them. Like nowhere in the Bible ever does it

01:04:47.880 --> 01:04:50.579
say die with zero. No. Well, and I mean, he,

01:04:50.699 --> 01:04:52.320
with the most toys wins and I'm a stone cold

01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:54.340
capitalist. So I'm all about the accumulation,

01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:56.659
not for the sake of the accumulation, but for

01:04:56.659 --> 01:04:58.940
the sake of then being able to, uh, instead of

01:04:58.940 --> 01:05:00.960
trading my time for money, instead of being,

01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:03.340
and then instead of doing that, getting to enjoy

01:05:03.340 --> 01:05:07.960
my time with my kids. and my grandkids and sharing

01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:11.099
in the whole generational wealth aspect with

01:05:11.099 --> 01:05:13.940
them so they can enjoy their time with their

01:05:13.940 --> 01:05:16.079
spouses and their kids and we'll all still work

01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.000
and do what we do because we're productive people

01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:20.639
and people have a drive to work naturally but

01:05:20.639 --> 01:05:22.500
we're not just straight trading time for money

01:05:22.500 --> 01:05:24.760
and we don't have to worry about where the next

01:05:24.760 --> 01:05:27.159
meal comes from or whether or not my kids can

01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:29.559
afford a house Not even trading time for money

01:05:29.559 --> 01:05:32.000
or trading time for ones and zeros, as you pointed

01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:34.940
out in the last episode. It's the worst of the

01:05:34.940 --> 01:05:38.719
worst of the worst fiat currency because now

01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:40.960
it doesn't even have the decency to be like...

01:05:41.019 --> 01:05:43.260
real toilet paper style money that you can hold

01:05:43.260 --> 01:05:45.380
in your hand. And it is toilet paper, but you

01:05:45.380 --> 01:05:47.659
could at least use it for toilet paper or light

01:05:47.659 --> 01:05:49.639
it on fire and keep yourself warm for a few minutes.

01:05:50.079 --> 01:05:51.579
We can't even do that now. It's all just ones

01:05:51.579 --> 01:05:53.920
and zeros. You literally trade your time for

01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:56.840
ones and zeros in a, in a thinking machine that

01:05:56.840 --> 01:05:59.639
you never see touch, hold, tangibly do anything

01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:01.960
with other than just trade it to some other thinking

01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:05.119
machine. Thinking machine is a decent show title.

01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:09.239
Wild times, man. Yeah, and I I mean lest this

01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:11.800
sound like sour grapes I just want to say it

01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:15.119
anecdotally like this doesn't apply to me personally

01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.380
You know I might now it remains to be seen if

01:06:18.380 --> 01:06:21.039
my boomer folks are gonna torch it all off to

01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:23.619
in -home care at the very end But up till now

01:06:23.849 --> 01:06:26.750
It has, no, they've used, it has been like, oh,

01:06:26.829 --> 01:06:28.909
let's build generational and I'm not keeping

01:06:28.909 --> 01:06:31.429
it all for me. I'm down to help you, my kids.

01:06:31.730 --> 01:06:34.150
So it's not, it's not even sour grapes. From

01:06:34.150 --> 01:06:35.389
either of us. At least, yeah, from either of

01:06:35.389 --> 01:06:36.429
us. Well, you and I both have shared similar

01:06:36.429 --> 01:06:38.650
stories, especially between us and our respective

01:06:38.650 --> 01:06:41.860
fathers. and then our respective mothers who

01:06:41.860 --> 01:06:44.659
supported our fathers as our fathers supported

01:06:44.659 --> 01:06:48.320
us in ways where they invested in us and our

01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.079
businesses and then we repaid them in kind and

01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:53.619
we made sure to be the best investments we could

01:06:53.619 --> 01:06:56.900
be and return on the investment for our fathers.

01:06:57.360 --> 01:06:59.539
Uh, and so both of us, you know, we have similar

01:06:59.539 --> 01:07:01.280
stories there. So yeah, no, it's not a, it's

01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:03.539
not a bitterness thing or sour grapes. We're

01:07:03.539 --> 01:07:04.960
just reporting on it because it's, it's, these

01:07:04.960 --> 01:07:06.980
are the patterns. This, this is what's, even

01:07:06.980 --> 01:07:08.760
though it isn't true for us, we're not just saying

01:07:08.760 --> 01:07:10.519
it because we're bugged by it. We're just saying

01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:12.480
it because it's true. It is true. And it is something

01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.579
that plagues people our age and people our age

01:07:15.579 --> 01:07:18.579
who have kids. It is, it affects everybody. It's

01:07:18.579 --> 01:07:22.360
relevant. It reverberates it. Um, and it has

01:07:22.360 --> 01:07:26.199
all kinds of political and ideological and philosophical

01:07:26.199 --> 01:07:31.239
implications going forward. Why are people having

01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:34.280
fewer kids than ever in the first world? What's

01:07:34.280 --> 01:07:37.420
the number one reason? Fluoride in the water?

01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:43.420
And finances. Finances. Everybody, you know,

01:07:43.420 --> 01:07:46.079
if you can't afford the basics or you feel like

01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:49.079
you can't afford the basics or a house, a house,

01:07:49.219 --> 01:07:51.280
which right now is very tough for most people,

01:07:52.039 --> 01:07:54.880
you won't have kids. The district says it needs

01:07:54.880 --> 01:07:58.409
more money. More yeah, we need there's more kids

01:07:58.409 --> 01:08:00.769
equals more money. Well, and I guess I'll end

01:08:00.769 --> 01:08:02.750
with this again. It's not it isn't bitterness

01:08:02.750 --> 01:08:07.110
or sour grapes But it is unbiblical The way it's

01:08:07.110 --> 01:08:09.650
been done and it is intentional. There's a it

01:08:09.650 --> 01:08:11.949
is an intentional systemic thing I mean at the

01:08:11.949 --> 01:08:15.309
turn of the 20th century Families looked very

01:08:15.309 --> 01:08:17.789
different than they do now only a hundred and

01:08:17.789 --> 01:08:21.239
some odd years later and that is by design That's

01:08:21.239 --> 01:08:24.060
intentional. The first they broke apart the multi

01:08:24.060 --> 01:08:25.960
-generational family, which had always been a

01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:28.640
thing. Then they attacked the nuclear family,

01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:31.079
which had also always been a thing. And now we're

01:08:31.079 --> 01:08:32.880
where we are now, where everybody is lonely and

01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:35.380
poor. Well, except for boomers, they're lonely

01:08:35.380 --> 01:08:39.520
and wealthy. Staring out the window of their

01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.800
Italian villa at the ocean while they FaceTime

01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:45.819
their kids. Yeah, as they live on the island

01:08:45.819 --> 01:08:47.819
out there somewhere or they up on the hill or

01:08:47.819 --> 01:08:49.840
whatever and their kids are down there trying

01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:51.300
to afford rent and they're like, you know, why

01:08:51.300 --> 01:08:53.000
don't my kids visit me? Why don't my kids have

01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:55.239
kids? Why don't I have grandkids? And they're

01:08:55.239 --> 01:08:58.079
staring at their million dollar portfolios and

01:08:58.079 --> 01:09:00.479
thinking, gosh, I wish I could earn better percentages

01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:02.859
on this. Instead, they could just, I don't know,

01:09:02.939 --> 01:09:04.680
take a couple hundred K out, help their kids

01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:07.859
with a down payment, bring their kids into the,

01:09:07.960 --> 01:09:10.300
you know, be like, Hey, let's do this. I'll help

01:09:10.300 --> 01:09:12.000
you with a house. You can start having babies

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:14.119
and let's move closer together. And I don't know,

01:09:14.220 --> 01:09:17.020
be a family unit, unit, but yeah, I bring it

01:09:17.020 --> 01:09:18.960
all up because it has real world implications

01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.640
and we're seeing them right now. And what you're

01:09:22.640 --> 01:09:25.220
going to have a hard time affording is everything.

01:09:26.920 --> 01:09:28.899
You'll owe nothing to be happy about it while

01:09:28.899 --> 01:09:31.199
you're munching on your cricket paste. Diesel's

01:09:31.199 --> 01:09:33.579
now more than six dollars a gallon in Idaho.

01:09:33.859 --> 01:09:35.920
That's 740 in Spokane. And the price of diesel

01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:38.880
is driving up other costs. Oh, check this out.

01:09:38.899 --> 01:09:41.260
I was just down in Smalley over the weekend at

01:09:41.260 --> 01:09:43.880
the Art Dealing Brothers at an opening in his

01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:47.939
gallery. How much was it down there? $9 .99 for

01:09:47.939 --> 01:09:50.199
diesel. And the thing is, if for all I know,

01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:52.819
it could be more. The marquee doesn't go any

01:09:52.819 --> 01:09:56.479
higher. It's three spaces for the digital marquee.

01:09:56.760 --> 01:10:00.460
It doesn't go any higher. What are they going

01:10:00.460 --> 01:10:02.680
to do? Well, what they do is they swap out the

01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:08.039
numbers for letters and put A -R -M. or MP, like

01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:10.039
when you look at lobster at a fancy restaurant.

01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:12.159
If you have to ask, you can't afford it. If you

01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:13.739
have to ask, you can't afford it. According to

01:10:13.739 --> 01:10:16.420
our news partners. Can I buy a quarter of a gallon?

01:10:17.020 --> 01:10:18.720
Yeah, actually, we're doing that now, sir. Yes,

01:10:18.739 --> 01:10:20.380
yes, you may. You could buy a quarter of a gallon.

01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:22.239
That's awesome. So you can get about halfway

01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:25.119
down La Brea toward Melrose and then you're going

01:10:25.119 --> 01:10:26.399
to have to turn right back around and fill up.

01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:29.359
It's 740 in Spokane. I was just in Spokane Valley

01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:31.899
this morning. Dude, I don't know. I couldn't

01:10:31.899 --> 01:10:33.880
believe it. I've never seen it that high ever

01:10:33.880 --> 01:10:35.930
in my lifetime. I don't know if it's just a,

01:10:35.930 --> 01:10:39.529
it was a, I don't know a glitch or what, but

01:10:39.529 --> 01:10:43.409
the new Walmart gas station at state line is,

01:10:43.630 --> 01:10:45.689
which is on the Idaho side. You know, they just

01:10:45.689 --> 01:10:48.149
opened up a huge gas station there at that Walmart

01:10:48.149 --> 01:10:50.270
next to the Maverick and the nom nom. There's

01:10:50.270 --> 01:10:52.369
three of them right in between. Yep. Now the

01:10:52.369 --> 01:10:54.949
meat of that gas sandwich had the marquee at

01:10:54.949 --> 01:10:58.569
$8 and something. So it was eight something for

01:10:58.569 --> 01:11:00.489
fuel. Well, you know, you know, the market they're

01:11:00.489 --> 01:11:04.539
hitting is the Washingtonian market. that values

01:11:04.539 --> 01:11:06.399
the convenience as they go back and forth from

01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:08.220
Spokane in and out. They must. Because Idaho

01:11:08.220 --> 01:11:09.779
people aren't going to pay that. Like any of

01:11:09.779 --> 01:11:11.420
us who live here, we're not paying that. We'll

01:11:11.420 --> 01:11:14.800
just go three miles further inland. I'll ride

01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:17.720
my electric scooter, man. Are you kidding? According

01:11:17.720 --> 01:11:19.359
to our news partners in the Coeur d 'Alene press,

01:11:19.579 --> 01:11:21.920
the average Idaho household has already paid

01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:26.159
an additional $3 ,300 or more for goods and services.

01:11:26.539 --> 01:11:28.720
Hey, $3 ,300? That's how much the city of Post

01:11:28.720 --> 01:11:32.039
Falls steals from us every year. Damn, take that

01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.159
post falls. According to our news partners in

01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:36.159
the Coeur d 'Alene press, the average Idaho household

01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:40.460
has already paid an additional $3 ,300 or more

01:11:40.460 --> 01:11:43.800
for goods and services due to rising costs. As

01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:46.140
a result, some families have been forced to cut

01:11:46.140 --> 01:11:48.859
down on necessities like groceries. And this

01:11:48.859 --> 01:11:51.199
is the first time ever that diesel prices have

01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:54.079
gone over that $6 market gallon, the rising cost.

01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:56.739
Breaking news at five, what you don't know about

01:11:56.739 --> 01:11:59.819
not eating could kill you. What should we cut?

01:12:00.180 --> 01:12:02.659
Um, I don't know food costs are hitting snow

01:12:02.659 --> 01:12:05.439
gates, duh cause are hitting farmers. Sorry kids

01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:07.720
We can't pay the bills this month. So uh, no

01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:09.979
snow gates for you Well, who cares if there's

01:12:09.979 --> 01:12:11.760
a berm we can't go to the grocery store anyway,

01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:13.920
and we can't afford gas Thanks for saving me

01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:16.079
the money. I can't get out of my driveway I can't

01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:17.840
I don't have to pay for gas that I can't afford

01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:19.979
fuel tanks groceries that I can't afford. This

01:12:19.979 --> 01:12:21.979
is great No, this all works out. The car is a

01:12:21.979 --> 01:12:23.460
paperweight, dude. The fuel tank's empty But

01:12:23.460 --> 01:12:25.220
hey, the good news is the city of Post Falls

01:12:25.220 --> 01:12:28.300
got theirs Cause are hitting farmers, especially

01:12:28.300 --> 01:12:31.659
yard diesel fuel powers, trucks, trains, tractors,

01:12:31.819 --> 01:12:34.180
ships and construction vehicles. All the things

01:12:34.180 --> 01:12:36.979
that bring us stuff. Yeah. To pay more to ship

01:12:36.979 --> 01:12:40.460
goods. Well, then consumers pay the price. This

01:12:40.460 --> 01:12:42.819
is a farm crisis. And, uh, you know, I'm out

01:12:42.819 --> 01:12:46.520
here picking corn, you know, $5 a bushel and

01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:49.840
paying nearly $7 a gallon for This is a real

01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:52.239
guy. He was a part of this segment and he was

01:12:52.239 --> 01:12:54.920
a, I guess he was part of Idaho Ag. Agriculture

01:12:54.920 --> 01:13:00.079
is king in Idaho. But I love him so very deeply.

01:13:00.220 --> 01:13:01.539
Listen to his athlete. I really wish they'd use

01:13:01.539 --> 01:13:05.420
so good. On the sheep and banjo segment as well.

01:13:05.779 --> 01:13:08.399
That would have been just Ketchum Idaho remembers.

01:13:10.300 --> 01:13:13.380
Next up on NPR, it's the corn picking hour. This

01:13:13.380 --> 01:13:16.000
is a farm crisis. And you know, I'm out here

01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:19.720
picking corn, you know, $5 a bushel. and paying

01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:24.659
nearly $7 a gallon for diesel fuel. Last year,

01:13:24.819 --> 01:13:27.640
the number of US farms dropped by 15 ,000. This

01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:29.659
is according to the US Department of Agriculture.

01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:33.020
And if diesel prices continue to rise, many workers,

01:13:33.380 --> 01:13:35.500
or many worry rather, more farmers may have to

01:13:35.500 --> 01:13:39.600
shut down because of the financial strain. So

01:13:39.600 --> 01:13:42.039
that's where we're heading. But we never ever,

01:13:42.140 --> 01:13:43.920
of course, will mention the fact that if the

01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:47.020
government stopped taxing fuel as hard as it

01:13:47.020 --> 01:13:50.340
does, it might help. It might help. Just throw

01:13:50.340 --> 01:13:53.000
that out there. You know, the extra three dollars

01:13:53.000 --> 01:13:55.479
a gallon that Washington State slaps on their

01:13:55.479 --> 01:13:58.060
fuel, it just, it might make a difference. No,

01:13:58.100 --> 01:13:59.800
no. Call me crazy. You don't cut anything, dude.

01:13:59.840 --> 01:14:02.579
I mean, these cuts are killing people. You don't

01:14:02.579 --> 01:14:05.079
want to cut, are you kidding me? You look like

01:14:05.079 --> 01:14:07.220
people dying. Is that it? I love it when people

01:14:07.220 --> 01:14:09.119
can't afford food because they have to give the

01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:11.279
government more money. Yeah, that's nothing.

01:14:11.680 --> 01:14:14.239
Nothing is as compassionate as taking money from

01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:16.300
the peasants while telling them that if you don't

01:14:16.300 --> 01:14:19.220
take the money from them, they will starve. I

01:14:19.220 --> 01:14:22.319
like your taxes. Uh, but wait a minute, uh, Lori

01:14:22.319 --> 01:14:24.439
Wolf who works with governor pervert on the budget.

01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:26.640
I object to that. Maybe this isn't the state

01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:29.239
for you. Oh, okay. Guess I can't live here. So

01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:32.119
if we don't like it, just leave. No, fuck you.

01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:35.340
I'm not the one who sucks. You leave. One of

01:14:35.340 --> 01:14:36.979
the best lines from office space. He's the one

01:14:36.979 --> 01:14:40.579
who sucks. Yeah. We need some show or an AI art

01:14:40.579 --> 01:14:43.000
for this one too. Where like the, the night,

01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:45.739
the night's on horseback as they're extracting

01:14:45.739 --> 01:14:49.060
from the peasants and go, if we don't take this

01:14:49.060 --> 01:14:52.140
from you. you'll starve to death. People eat

01:14:52.140 --> 01:14:53.779
by this though. That's what's so crazy about

01:14:53.779 --> 01:14:55.920
this is like we let people listen to this and

01:14:55.920 --> 01:14:58.800
they just go, Oh man. Well, and people on the

01:14:58.800 --> 01:15:00.880
left will be like, it's all Trump's fault. A

01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:03.199
lot of it is, but, and his people. And then people

01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:05.239
on the right are like, Oh, it is fucking Biden.

01:15:05.399 --> 01:15:07.960
We're still dealing with Biden. And meanwhile,

01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:11.199
us who break this stuff down are just like, this

01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:14.880
is at every level, everybody in charge. And worst

01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:17.199
of all, the peasants themselves who go for this.

01:15:17.399 --> 01:15:19.760
It's, it's Reagan's fault. Oh, we're still dealing

01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:22.319
with Carter. I mean, just pick a fricking time

01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:26.000
window. Yup. Yup. God. The, the, the car, it's

01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:28.859
a carousel, man. It never stops. Just you get

01:15:28.859 --> 01:15:31.960
on and you can't get off. I believe I came in

01:15:31.960 --> 01:15:36.460
episode 11, 13 was of this show was cartel carousel.

01:15:36.460 --> 01:15:39.760
Yup. Goes round and round it goes. Okay. Here

01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:45.159
is This is real charming as long as we're on

01:15:45.159 --> 01:15:47.560
public schools. A new tort claim filed against

01:15:47.560 --> 01:15:49.939
the Lewiston School District alleges a district

01:15:49.939 --> 01:15:52.819
coach made sexual abuse material of students.

01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:55.840
Idaho Ed News reports the claim filed August

01:15:55.840 --> 01:15:59.119
18th, names 19 -year -old Ty Lewis, an assistant

01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:01.600
football coach at Lewiston High School, and alleges

01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:03.880
the district was negligent when it hired and

01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:06.199
retained him at the school. Lewis is currently

01:16:06.199 --> 01:16:07.479
like in high school himself. I was going to say

01:16:07.479 --> 01:16:11.420
19. He graduates in the half a semester. And

01:16:11.420 --> 01:16:15.359
then they're like, maybe they graduated him as

01:16:15.359 --> 01:16:16.779
a formality because he wasn't actually going

01:16:16.779 --> 01:16:18.520
to graduate. So they graduate him and then they

01:16:18.520 --> 01:16:20.199
turn around and they hire him. We can't hold

01:16:20.199 --> 01:16:22.380
you back a third consecutive year. So why don't

01:16:22.380 --> 01:16:24.460
you just walk here? We'll give you your gown.

01:16:24.560 --> 01:16:26.220
We'll give you your rolled up paper. And now

01:16:26.220 --> 01:16:27.800
why don't you just turn right back around and

01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:31.000
join the faculty. His name's Tyrell. What was

01:16:31.000 --> 01:16:40.720
it? Ty Lewis? What are the odds he's a basketball

01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:45.140
American? What makes you think that? Well, I

01:16:45.140 --> 01:16:48.359
don't know. The fact that he's 19, coaching football,

01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:50.100
comes right out of the pipeline and right back

01:16:50.100 --> 01:16:51.760
into the pipeline. I don't know. I could be totally

01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:53.140
wrong. Oh, you're going to look him up. Yeah.

01:16:53.180 --> 01:16:57.159
Oh boy. Great. Ty Lewis and Lewiston football

01:16:57.159 --> 01:17:04.760
images. That's a lady He's definitely oh, that's

01:17:04.760 --> 01:17:08.500
not a lady no what okay wait a minute if that's

01:17:08.500 --> 01:17:12.420
describe him Exactly what you would expect, but

01:17:12.420 --> 01:17:14.939
if it was a creepy dude who keeps bad stuff on

01:17:14.939 --> 01:17:18.819
his hard drive in the basement And he likes Minecraft

01:17:18.819 --> 01:17:23.579
pimply -faced Heavily like morbidly obese dude

01:17:23.579 --> 01:17:27.710
long straight hair thinning like dirty blonde

01:17:27.710 --> 01:17:30.149
hair, but it looks greasy. The kind of dark circles

01:17:30.149 --> 01:17:32.970
under your eyes that say I watch computer screens

01:17:32.970 --> 01:17:36.689
12 hours a day. Yeah. No way. How does that guy

01:17:36.689 --> 01:17:39.510
get a job as an assistant football coach? Also,

01:17:39.510 --> 01:17:44.289
he is totally a baseball American. So I'm wrong.

01:17:44.989 --> 01:17:47.130
Way wrong. Like that is not at all who I envisioned.

01:17:47.210 --> 01:17:50.189
Like that's if you told me that it was somebody

01:17:50.189 --> 01:17:53.630
who they found like parts of such and such or

01:17:53.630 --> 01:17:55.960
so and so in the freezer. Yeah, that's what it

01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:58.760
looks like. So it's not Tyrone, it's like Tyler

01:17:58.760 --> 01:18:02.119
Tyson or something. Tyson meets. Tyson meets.

01:18:02.420 --> 01:18:04.920
Lewis is currently in Nez Perce County Jail facing

01:18:04.920 --> 01:18:07.720
multiple felony counts of sexual abuse and sexual

01:18:07.720 --> 01:18:10.539
exploitation. He has not entered a plea. He is

01:18:10.539 --> 01:18:13.399
next due in court September 29th. Lewiston School

01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:16.000
District Superintendent Tim Sperber told Ed News,

01:18:16.460 --> 01:18:18.539
the school district will quote, vigorously defend

01:18:18.539 --> 01:18:21.020
itself against these claims. It will vigorously

01:18:21.020 --> 01:18:22.979
defend itself. So, and of course it's a tort

01:18:22.979 --> 01:18:26.779
claim. which simply means, hey, we want money

01:18:26.779 --> 01:18:28.819
for this transgression we are saying happened.

01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:31.880
And either they're going to vigorously defend

01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:33.600
themselves with attorneys. And guess who's going

01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:36.640
to pay for those? Us. Or they are. Well, they'll

01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:39.600
do that either way. And then they'll either just

01:18:39.600 --> 01:18:42.260
have the legal bills from the tort claim or they'll

01:18:42.260 --> 01:18:43.659
settle. And guess who's going to pay for that?

01:18:44.180 --> 01:18:47.520
Us. Either way, we lose. It's a it's a game.

01:18:47.659 --> 01:18:49.220
Oh, you know what? That's a game we should make

01:18:49.220 --> 01:18:53.409
up. It's like we lose. That's the only, there's

01:18:53.409 --> 01:18:54.989
just one outcome. There's one outcome. Yeah.

01:18:54.989 --> 01:18:57.149
Yeah. There are many choices, but there aren't

01:18:57.149 --> 01:18:59.710
cause it's a monopoly and either way we lose.

01:19:00.369 --> 01:19:02.310
I'm writing this down for show out a board game

01:19:02.310 --> 01:19:05.789
where all options are losing options. And there

01:19:05.789 --> 01:19:11.270
are only one, there's only one option. So that's

01:19:11.270 --> 01:19:13.189
fun. It's so weird to me. People are always so

01:19:13.189 --> 01:19:15.689
afraid of monopoly .com, but they just fall in

01:19:15.689 --> 01:19:19.270
love with monopoly .gov. I don't get it. Oh.

01:19:19.489 --> 01:19:22.510
But without them, companies would have a monopoly.

01:19:22.649 --> 01:19:25.250
And there'd be no outdoors. And who would hire

01:19:25.250 --> 01:19:28.569
the sexualizing troglodytes for the football

01:19:28.569 --> 01:19:31.090
team in Lewis and Clark High School? So you like

01:19:31.090 --> 01:19:33.630
potholes, is that it? That's it. How'd you know?

01:19:34.210 --> 01:19:37.350
Wow, that actually I would not have guessed if

01:19:37.350 --> 01:19:41.270
that truly is the guy. So the internet says it.

01:19:41.289 --> 01:19:43.090
Boy, was I wrong. All right, now I'm batting

01:19:43.090 --> 01:19:46.430
650 instead of 700. My percentages went way down

01:19:46.430 --> 01:19:50.310
there. So I have, I shared this, this was a conversation

01:19:50.310 --> 01:19:52.710
before the show went live. I was saying that

01:19:52.710 --> 01:19:55.090
there was a, because what you just said reminded

01:19:55.090 --> 01:19:58.590
me of the monopoly .conversa .gov. You've mentioned

01:19:58.590 --> 01:20:01.869
before that when people watch movies or TV series,

01:20:02.289 --> 01:20:04.539
they They root for the underdog, they root for

01:20:04.539 --> 01:20:06.960
the person going against the state or the system,

01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:10.100
whatever. But then they turn the TV off and in

01:20:10.100 --> 01:20:12.220
real life, they vote for the system. And anyone

01:20:12.220 --> 01:20:14.659
who questions the system, they just, they angrily

01:20:14.659 --> 01:20:16.460
take to their keyboards to ask them why they

01:20:16.460 --> 01:20:20.479
like potholes. They must be punished. Those recalcitrant

01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:23.640
rebels must be punished. Yeah, anything. Divergent

01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:27.720
series, Hunger Games series, Star Wars. We could

01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:30.819
go on and on and on and on and on and in every

01:20:30.819 --> 01:20:32.880
single one of them if you look at the markers

01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:36.079
for the government and you look at the markers

01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:39.319
for the rebels and and Cross -reference them

01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:43.199
with real life. It's the same except for whatever

01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:45.260
reason the moment people turn off the TV. They're

01:20:45.260 --> 01:20:48.390
like I must have my property taxes taken from

01:20:48.390 --> 01:20:51.390
me. I simply must. Nothing that I enjoy in life

01:20:51.390 --> 01:20:53.430
would exist if I wasn't stolen from. We root

01:20:53.430 --> 01:20:55.289
for the rebels in a new hope and then they blow

01:20:55.289 --> 01:20:57.149
up the Death Star and we're like, yes, the galaxy

01:20:57.149 --> 01:21:00.350
is saved. But in real life, when I tell somebody

01:21:00.350 --> 01:21:04.109
I'd like to use a drone to crash into the county

01:21:04.109 --> 01:21:06.430
data center to wipe all of our debts and all

01:21:06.430 --> 01:21:08.149
of our property taxes, then somebody goes, well,

01:21:08.250 --> 01:21:10.520
that sounds like domestic terrorism. You're the

01:21:10.520 --> 01:21:13.699
bad guy. What are you talking about? No, they

01:21:13.699 --> 01:21:16.380
are the Imperials. They're the Death Star. They're

01:21:16.380 --> 01:21:18.520
the ones stealing from us. And if I don't comply,

01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:21.399
they kill you. I thought we were voting for the

01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:24.060
underdogs. So I mentioned this to you before

01:21:24.060 --> 01:21:26.760
the show started, that when I was down in LA,

01:21:27.020 --> 01:21:29.420
I noticed from the right outside the gallery

01:21:29.420 --> 01:21:34.260
on huge billboards there on on the brea next

01:21:34.260 --> 01:21:36.560
to each other, you got the one huge billboard

01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:41.439
of gun violence is the number one killer of children

01:21:41.439 --> 01:21:44.180
in America and it was for some some dot org you

01:21:44.180 --> 01:21:47.840
know it's LA the next billboard over is the new

01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:50.840
Jason Statham movie where he's like looking around

01:21:50.840 --> 01:21:55.579
a corner while holding like a Glock 40 it's a

01:21:55.579 --> 01:21:58.100
billboard of a gun holding a gun holding a gun

01:21:58.100 --> 01:22:04.550
but in the movies that's okay Here is, as long

01:22:04.550 --> 01:22:06.029
as we're on data centers. Speaking of which,

01:22:06.069 --> 01:22:07.670
if that billboard actually cared about children,

01:22:07.729 --> 01:22:10.369
then they actually would have put, uh, women,

01:22:10.930 --> 01:22:15.930
number one killer of children. I mean, dude,

01:22:16.029 --> 01:22:18.529
abortions is like however many millions a year,

01:22:18.670 --> 01:22:21.899
dude. They don't care about kids. As long as

01:22:21.899 --> 01:22:23.920
we're on data centers, here's another one from

01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:26.159
the Haganone News Network. Regional power planners

01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:29.579
say more energy resources will be needed as data

01:22:29.579 --> 01:22:32.520
centers and electricity demand grow across the

01:22:32.520 --> 01:22:36.220
Pacific Northwest. The Northwest Power and Conservation

01:22:36.220 --> 01:22:39.020
Council expects the region's power system to

01:22:39.020 --> 01:22:44.979
grow 50 % to 100 % by 2046. A proposed plan calls

01:22:44.979 --> 01:22:47.960
for more energy efficiency savings, renewable

01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:51.779
energy, storage, and natural gas resources between

01:22:51.779 --> 01:22:56.460
2027 and 2032. During a meeting in Coeur d 'Alene,

01:22:56.899 --> 01:23:00.020
public comments raised questions about grid reliability,

01:23:00.659 --> 01:23:03.000
climate impacts, and the future of renewable

01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:06.960
energy. Full story at Hagadon. Right, so yeah,

01:23:07.079 --> 01:23:08.659
during the public comment at the Coeur d 'Alene

01:23:08.659 --> 01:23:11.960
City Council meeting where Mayor Gooke was heard

01:23:11.960 --> 01:23:15.170
saying, shut up. Do not interrupt me. You weren't

01:23:15.170 --> 01:23:17.210
even talking, Mr. Mayor, it was in the middle

01:23:17.210 --> 01:23:18.729
of the public comment. They were actually, they

01:23:18.729 --> 01:23:20.470
were talking about hydropower, and that's what

01:23:20.470 --> 01:23:23.289
Gukan was like, why are you pissing on me? And

01:23:23.289 --> 01:23:27.869
calling it hydropower. Why are you pissing on

01:23:27.869 --> 01:23:30.250
me? I have so many of them, it took me a minute.

01:23:31.689 --> 01:23:34.869
When your sound bank for Gukan drops is so rich,

01:23:35.270 --> 01:23:37.470
it takes too long to find the sound bot, the

01:23:37.470 --> 01:23:39.609
sound drop. I love it. I am tired of this shit.

01:23:39.970 --> 01:23:45.239
Yeah, well, us too. So that fun little do dab

01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:47.579
boppy report there basically said nothing other

01:23:47.579 --> 01:23:52.060
than hey y 'all the area is growing and we project

01:23:52.060 --> 01:23:55.180
that we're gonna need more power so some people

01:23:55.180 --> 01:23:58.760
got together and talked about it more at hagano

01:23:58.760 --> 01:24:02.859
news network .com that's what it said yep the

01:24:02.859 --> 01:24:05.039
more you know yeah well there is a lot of i mean

01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:07.020
it's climate change that's the most important

01:24:07.020 --> 01:24:08.720
part in that they talked about that too we got

01:24:08.720 --> 01:24:12.979
to be careful you know And this is, I have to

01:24:12.979 --> 01:24:16.359
wonder if all the, the ALPRs and the data centers,

01:24:16.520 --> 01:24:18.899
the algo is hammering everyone. Data centers

01:24:18.899 --> 01:24:21.520
and ALPRs, hammering everyone. Data centers bad,

01:24:21.659 --> 01:24:25.920
flock bad. So what is this up? What is this as

01:24:25.920 --> 01:24:27.939
part of the whole 2030 agenda, the 15 minute

01:24:27.939 --> 01:24:29.760
smart city, whatever the you'll own nothing and

01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:33.079
be happy thing is, build back better. Flock bad

01:24:33.079 --> 01:24:35.439
and data centers bad. Why are they hammering

01:24:35.439 --> 01:24:39.960
those things? Yeah, but regular ALPRs, good.

01:24:41.190 --> 01:24:44.369
Axon. Okay. Motorola. Okay. We don't care. Right.

01:24:44.369 --> 01:24:47.250
It's weird. Do those ones get missed or, or like

01:24:47.250 --> 01:24:50.750
with our, our buddy Luca, you know, who sits

01:24:50.750 --> 01:24:54.810
in that camp where he's council councilman Luca

01:24:54.810 --> 01:24:56.810
post falls and he's a friend. I like him. He's

01:24:56.810 --> 01:24:59.909
a good dude, but he, I don't know how you square

01:24:59.909 --> 01:25:02.050
this up where he's touting from the rooftops

01:25:02.050 --> 01:25:05.130
post falls, flock free since forever. And I'm

01:25:05.130 --> 01:25:07.689
like, I can't help myself. So I have to respond.

01:25:07.810 --> 01:25:09.550
I'm like, yeah, that's great. But you still use

01:25:09.550 --> 01:25:11.609
the license plate readers and they're Motorola.

01:25:12.050 --> 01:25:14.050
So, and then his response is, yeah, but they

01:25:14.050 --> 01:25:15.989
don't do the same thing as flock. Right. And

01:25:15.989 --> 01:25:18.449
I go, yeah, but they still, they still read my

01:25:18.449 --> 01:25:20.489
license plate. When I go places, it's surveillance

01:25:20.489 --> 01:25:22.250
and I don't want to be surveilled. You're not

01:25:22.250 --> 01:25:25.020
any better. That's a good thing. It's the classic

01:25:25.020 --> 01:25:29.300
shades of the stages of grief, the state version

01:25:29.300 --> 01:25:30.880
of it. We're like, oh, we don't do that. Well,

01:25:30.880 --> 01:25:32.920
we do do that, but it's good. Well, it's a classic

01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:34.979
conservative thing is really what it is where

01:25:34.979 --> 01:25:37.119
it's like, well, when my team's in charge, it's

01:25:37.119 --> 01:25:40.619
OK. Or, yeah, I'm not a big fan of government

01:25:40.619 --> 01:25:43.460
except for when I am a big fan of government

01:25:43.460 --> 01:25:45.819
because it's the government I like, or it's the

01:25:45.819 --> 01:25:48.000
right amount of government run by the correct

01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:52.060
people, at least for now. Yeah, but I don't want

01:25:52.060 --> 01:25:54.810
to be surveilled. Yeah, but it's okay because

01:25:54.810 --> 01:25:58.670
it's the right kind of surveillance. Do you like

01:25:58.670 --> 01:26:05.529
crime? Well, okay. Well, here is what Post Falls

01:26:05.529 --> 01:26:08.250
might be doing, or at least partly, with the

01:26:08.250 --> 01:26:10.170
surveillance apparatus. Over in Idaho, the Post

01:26:10.170 --> 01:26:12.529
Falls Police Department arrested 15 people since

01:26:12.529 --> 01:26:15.470
they started working with the 287G ICE program

01:26:15.470 --> 01:26:17.949
two months ago, becoming the first city in Idaho

01:26:17.949 --> 01:26:22.430
to do so. Now, we did last show, we did the ice

01:26:22.430 --> 01:26:25.850
rated dude siding company in Post Falls and deported

01:26:25.850 --> 01:26:29.569
a couple back to Honduras. And this is the more

01:26:29.569 --> 01:26:32.300
I guess. like the monthly jobs report for how

01:26:32.300 --> 01:26:34.680
many deportations were made? ICE agents accompanied

01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:37.100
some patrol officers during the program's training

01:26:37.100 --> 01:26:40.079
period between August 24th and the 28th. During

01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:42.859
just that four -day period, 13 people were arrested

01:26:42.859 --> 01:26:45.239
for allegedly violating federal immigration law,

01:26:45.640 --> 01:26:47.579
with two more arrested in the weeks following.

01:26:48.119 --> 01:26:50.159
The police say officers found evidence either

01:26:50.159 --> 01:26:52.520
by admission or in available records that there

01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:55.260
were immigration violations taking place. The

01:26:55.260 --> 01:26:57.039
Post Falls Police Department says they do not

01:26:57.039 --> 01:26:59.420
anticipate that number of arrests to be typical.

01:26:59.430 --> 01:27:01.810
for future operations. So don't worry. We're

01:27:01.810 --> 01:27:04.210
just using the surveillance apparatus to deport

01:27:04.210 --> 01:27:06.090
illegals. That's all. That's all it's being used

01:27:06.090 --> 01:27:08.630
for. Yeah, yeah. As usual, we're not coming for

01:27:08.630 --> 01:27:10.130
you. No, no. So don't worry about it. No, no,

01:27:10.130 --> 01:27:11.850
no. It's not a problem. We'll give you that idea.

01:27:12.909 --> 01:27:15.550
You know, it's that tax we just put in place.

01:27:15.729 --> 01:27:17.510
It's only for the top 10 percent. It's not for

01:27:17.510 --> 01:27:21.510
the rest of you. Don't worry about it. Well,

01:27:21.609 --> 01:27:25.069
here's another. thing that your taxes are going

01:27:25.069 --> 01:27:27.210
to pay for no matter what happens. More schools

01:27:27.210 --> 01:27:29.409
needing more money for, I guess, more payouts.

01:27:29.489 --> 01:27:32.229
Boise School District will pay $34 ,000 to a

01:27:32.229 --> 01:27:34.430
former female student who says she encountered

01:27:34.430 --> 01:27:37.149
a transgender girl in the women's bathroom. I

01:27:37.149 --> 01:27:39.510
thought it was really interesting that they just

01:27:39.510 --> 01:27:42.930
said former female student. Like she was formally

01:27:42.930 --> 01:27:45.130
a female. Wouldn't you say... Female is a social

01:27:45.130 --> 01:27:47.369
construct, I thought. I don't know why they're,

01:27:47.369 --> 01:27:49.229
yeah, they're assuming her gender. I'm not really

01:27:49.229 --> 01:27:51.670
sure why. But wouldn't you say a female former

01:27:51.670 --> 01:27:54.479
student? Not a former female student? Poissy

01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:57.300
School District will pay $34 ,000 to a former

01:27:57.300 --> 01:27:59.539
female student. She used to be a female. Well,

01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:01.199
I'll tell you what happened when she saw that

01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:03.079
other trans person in the bathroom. She was like,

01:28:03.100 --> 01:28:05.239
I got to get in on this. And so she's trans now

01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:08.180
too, but upset about it. So she's suing. Maybe

01:28:08.180 --> 01:28:10.840
that's it. Seeing this trans made me trans. Well,

01:28:11.039 --> 01:28:13.180
they just, they looked so happy and well adjusted.

01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:14.939
I just had to be part of whatever that person

01:28:14.939 --> 01:28:17.220
was involved in. So happy and well adjusted.

01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:18.859
Yeah. Look, you look just like that assistant

01:28:18.859 --> 01:28:21.579
coach from the football team. Boise School District

01:28:21.579 --> 01:28:24.619
will pay $34 ,000 to a former female student

01:28:24.619 --> 01:28:27.199
who says she encountered a transgender girl in

01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:29.939
the women's bathroom. James Dawson has more on

01:28:29.939 --> 01:28:32.239
the lawsuit she filed last year. The girl who

01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:34.819
was 15 years old at the time sued the school

01:28:34.819 --> 01:28:37.520
district after she said she heard deep grunting

01:28:37.520 --> 01:28:39.600
coming from a stall in the girls bathroom at

01:28:39.600 --> 01:28:43.460
Boise High School in 2025. The Idaho Family Policy

01:28:43.460 --> 01:28:46.159
Center, which wrote Idaho's law banning transgender

01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:48.720
people from using school restrooms that align

01:28:48.720 --> 01:28:51.060
with their gender identity, took the girl's case

01:28:51.060 --> 01:28:54.140
to court. Boise School District's decision to

01:28:54.140 --> 01:28:56.680
settle came after an Ada County judge rejected

01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:59.479
its motion to dismiss the lawsuit in late July.

01:29:00.039 --> 01:29:02.420
Federal courts had temporarily halted Idaho's

01:29:02.420 --> 01:29:04.500
law from being enforced when the girl had her

01:29:04.500 --> 01:29:07.260
bathroom encounter, though it's now in full effect.

01:29:07.720 --> 01:29:09.939
Caleb Pierce, the director of the Idaho Family

01:29:09.939 --> 01:29:12.180
Policy Center's legal arm, said in a statement,

01:29:12.399 --> 01:29:15.199
quote, We will hold accountable any school district

01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:17.380
that chooses to violate the law, and we will

01:29:17.380 --> 01:29:20.239
continue to champion the safety, privacy and

01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:22.760
dignity of students across Idaho. I definitely

01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:24.720
wrote down bathroom encounters. I was going to

01:29:24.720 --> 01:29:26.960
ask you to do it. Yeah, man. Where's Larry Craig

01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:29.640
when we need him? Who's that carrying on the

01:29:29.640 --> 01:29:32.060
tradition of bathroom encounters? Larry Craig

01:29:32.060 --> 01:29:34.500
used to be a senator, a national senator from

01:29:34.500 --> 01:29:37.130
Idaho. And the thing that ended his career was

01:29:37.130 --> 01:29:40.890
he got caught toe -tapping other dudes in the

01:29:40.890 --> 01:29:44.689
airport bathroom. I've seen people in every way

01:29:44.689 --> 01:29:46.630
shape or form all over the world going to the

01:29:46.630 --> 01:29:49.310
bathroom. Was he was he very vocally anti -gay

01:29:49.310 --> 01:29:54.289
too probably? He was considered a yeah your typical

01:29:54.289 --> 01:29:56.529
conservative Christian yada yada yada. He was

01:29:56.529 --> 01:29:59.250
an establishmentarian kind of candidate. Like

01:29:59.250 --> 01:30:03.760
Senator Jim Risch or Crapo, you know, Mike Crapo,

01:30:03.800 --> 01:30:06.140
those just old as fuck and you can never vote

01:30:06.140 --> 01:30:08.880
them out. And they're basically white, old stodgy

01:30:08.880 --> 01:30:10.899
Mormon dudes who are, you know, quote unquote,

01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:14.399
I'm the conservative that votes for Idaho. And

01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:17.239
then and then ban, ban, ban Kratom. And yeah,

01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:20.079
you know, just establishmentarian. Yeah. Deep

01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:23.100
grunting coming from a stall in the girls. Grunting.

01:30:24.619 --> 01:30:27.159
OK. Really had to work something out in there.

01:30:28.399 --> 01:30:32.979
Who does number two work for? Deep grunting.

01:30:33.939 --> 01:30:35.800
All right, a couple more for this week, we're

01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:38.279
almost there. Somebody goes, I have to go powder

01:30:38.279 --> 01:30:43.899
my nose. Let's see, we've done most of them.

01:30:44.520 --> 01:30:47.840
I think I have one more. Oh, here, we'll close

01:30:47.840 --> 01:30:50.939
out with this one. I was alluding to it earlier,

01:30:50.939 --> 01:30:53.760
but I never actually got to it. Your daughter

01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:56.359
having the... A job swept out from under her

01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:57.979
feet and the owner of the coffee shop. Yeah,

01:30:59.180 --> 01:31:01.840
so here is another version of it. This these

01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:03.380
things are always happening. Here's one that

01:31:03.380 --> 01:31:06.239
KTVB reported on new tonight. What started off

01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:08.899
as a simple teaching opportunity turned into

01:31:08.899 --> 01:31:12.520
a call for help after a Meridian woman's roadside

01:31:12.520 --> 01:31:16.239
snack stand was shut down for violating city

01:31:16.239 --> 01:31:19.579
code. Cooper Morgan joins us now. Good. You spoke

01:31:19.579 --> 01:31:21.300
with this woman. What's the issue here? Food

01:31:21.300 --> 01:31:24.789
safety, Justin? No, she says. Meridian code enforcement

01:31:24.789 --> 01:31:27.029
told her the problem was traffic and zoning,

01:31:27.210 --> 01:31:29.029
that her little roadside stand was getting too

01:31:29.029 --> 01:31:31.750
popular and too professional for the neighborhood

01:31:31.750 --> 01:31:34.170
to apply. But she argues that shouldn't matter

01:31:34.170 --> 01:31:36.569
because earlier this year, the Idaho legislature

01:31:36.569 --> 01:31:41.189
passed a direct -to -consumer law that she believes

01:31:41.189 --> 01:31:43.649
protects what she was doing. I just love the

01:31:43.649 --> 01:31:46.409
fact that she was, what was the problem? Was

01:31:46.409 --> 01:31:49.210
it food safety? No, it was that she was too successful.

01:31:49.569 --> 01:31:52.810
Too popular. It's not an American flag hung on

01:31:52.810 --> 01:31:56.449
this home. It's something a little more Northwest.

01:31:56.829 --> 01:32:01.109
We left Bigfoot. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

01:32:01.710 --> 01:32:03.949
That's this is the woman and she might be a little

01:32:03.949 --> 01:32:05.510
nervous because she's getting interviewed by

01:32:05.510 --> 01:32:10.189
a watchdog journalist. We left Bigfoot. I grew

01:32:10.189 --> 01:32:12.949
up in the Pacific Northwest. It's a big thing.

01:32:13.010 --> 01:32:15.409
Before Melissa or she's had to roll part of that

01:32:15.409 --> 01:32:19.640
lovable creature away and hide it. I was in tears.

01:32:19.819 --> 01:32:21.119
The children were in tears. Bigfoot's hiding.

01:32:21.920 --> 01:32:24.960
What do we do? I've never been put in this position.

01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:27.800
The carts once held Bigfoot's munchies, cookies,

01:32:28.199 --> 01:32:30.619
popcorn, and snacks. She says neighbors loved

01:32:30.619 --> 01:32:33.199
it. Even the HOA president stopped by, wished

01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:35.600
her luck, and bought treats. That's actually

01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:38.640
something. When the HOA gives you the green light,

01:32:39.939 --> 01:32:43.300
what HOA is she in? That never happens. Wow.

01:32:43.819 --> 01:32:45.399
That's actually the most shocking part of this

01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:49.500
story. till the point that I got a notification

01:32:49.500 --> 01:32:53.079
from my landlord that code enforcement contacted

01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:57.539
him and said that I could no longer have the

01:32:57.539 --> 01:33:00.300
carts out in front of the house nor continue

01:33:00.300 --> 01:33:04.239
baking at this time or insist she did her homework.

01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:06.960
She points to the direct to Consumer Act passed

01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:10.479
by the Idaho Legislature in 2026, which allows

01:33:10.479 --> 01:33:13.500
homemade food from home kitchens and these homes

01:33:13.500 --> 01:33:16.729
under certain labeling rules. She says she was

01:33:16.729 --> 01:33:19.250
following them, even adding insurance she wasn't

01:33:19.250 --> 01:33:21.510
required to carry. For a landlord to be able

01:33:21.510 --> 01:33:24.590
to tell me I broke a lease, anything like that,

01:33:24.590 --> 01:33:26.489
I would have never done it without permission.

01:33:26.869 --> 01:33:29.090
Meridian City Code enforcement, she says, saw

01:33:29.090 --> 01:33:31.550
it differently, pointing to traffic and how it

01:33:31.550 --> 01:33:34.149
all looked. Too professional, too popular. It's

01:33:34.149 --> 01:33:35.529
going to get bigger than what the neighborhood

01:33:35.529 --> 01:33:37.750
can handle as far as traffic. It wasn't just

01:33:37.750 --> 01:33:40.909
about money. Part of every popcorn. Everything

01:33:40.909 --> 01:33:43.829
is for them to say. Do you know what a bureaucrat's

01:33:43.829 --> 01:33:47.119
worst nightmare is, Scott? That somebody somewhere

01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:49.560
is doing something without permission and you

01:33:49.560 --> 01:33:51.159
even heard her a minute ago like I wouldn't have

01:33:51.159 --> 01:33:53.880
done this without permission and yet still I

01:33:53.880 --> 01:33:55.479
Never would have done something creative and

01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:57.359
cool and productive if I if I'd known that I

01:33:57.359 --> 01:33:58.920
couldn't that I wasn't allowed and the government

01:33:58.920 --> 01:34:01.140
Wouldn't let me can I please I would have just

01:34:01.140 --> 01:34:05.020
stayed in my box Please done nothing please part

01:34:05.020 --> 01:34:07.680
of every popcorn sale went to charity popcorn

01:34:07.680 --> 01:34:10.420
with a purpose for the item humane society as

01:34:10.420 --> 01:34:17.800
well as started baking my own corn Kitchen to

01:34:17.800 --> 01:34:21.779
help with teaching my home school kids What it's

01:34:21.779 --> 01:34:27.359
like to kind of? Hate her and she was oh my god.

01:34:27.380 --> 01:34:29.420
This is is this not this is the most American

01:34:29.420 --> 01:34:33.140
thing I've heard all day homeschooling family

01:34:33.140 --> 01:34:36.520
teaching life lessons to their kids about Capitalism

01:34:36.520 --> 01:34:39.079
and free market and ethics and work and drive

01:34:39.449 --> 01:34:41.630
and marketing. I mean, all the different awesome

01:34:41.630 --> 01:34:45.369
things that used to be America only to be snookered

01:34:45.369 --> 01:34:48.810
and shut down by America, by the government.

01:34:49.909 --> 01:34:52.750
If that's not peak 2026 America, Scott, I don't

01:34:52.750 --> 01:34:54.729
know what is. And you definitely taught your

01:34:54.729 --> 01:34:57.789
kids valuable lessons. Unfortunately, they learned

01:34:57.789 --> 01:35:00.010
other lessons than you set out to teach them,

01:35:00.050 --> 01:35:03.229
which was don't bother kids. The government will

01:35:03.229 --> 01:35:07.289
stop you. The state. Yeah, that's the lesson.

01:35:07.399 --> 01:35:10.119
What was the point? Yeah. Hey, do you want to

01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:13.260
be an entrepreneur? Get fucked. Well, if they

01:35:13.260 --> 01:35:16.000
or do it, you can't do anything without permission

01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:17.939
at the very least. If they just would have followed

01:35:17.939 --> 01:35:20.800
the rules, they were trying to even do that.

01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:24.619
What it's like to kind of start your own little

01:35:24.619 --> 01:35:26.880
operation. Now she says it's become a lesson

01:35:26.880 --> 01:35:30.020
in government and tells her three boys, Tristan,

01:35:30.180 --> 01:35:32.920
Leland and Colton, and that you don't give up

01:35:32.920 --> 01:35:35.199
on something you believe in. You just don't.

01:35:35.340 --> 01:35:37.479
They fight. Now, we reached out to the City of

01:35:37.479 --> 01:35:39.460
Meridian for more details, but since it's an

01:35:39.460 --> 01:35:42.239
ongoing case, they can't talk about it. It's

01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:44.439
an ongoing investigation and we can't talk about

01:35:44.439 --> 01:35:46.399
it. And oh, by the way, don't worry, we'll investigate

01:35:46.399 --> 01:35:48.039
ourselves and find we've done nothing wrong.

01:35:48.159 --> 01:35:49.840
And but before we do any of that, we're going

01:35:49.840 --> 01:35:52.579
to vote ourselves raises and install more ALPRs.

01:35:52.640 --> 01:35:54.640
Now we reached out to the city of Meridian for

01:35:54.640 --> 01:35:56.579
more details, but since it's an ongoing case,

01:35:56.579 --> 01:35:59.119
they can't talk about the specifics in this instance.

01:35:59.539 --> 01:36:02.199
The city spokesperson did tell us, though, that

01:36:02.199 --> 01:36:04.800
Orton needs a home occupancy permit first and

01:36:04.800 --> 01:36:06.380
that they are reviewing with the legal team to

01:36:06.380 --> 01:36:08.899
make sure their code is in compliance with that

01:36:08.899 --> 01:36:11.619
new law. Need a permission slip first. Confusing

01:36:11.619 --> 01:36:13.760
little situation between that. It's not confusing.

01:36:13.899 --> 01:36:15.939
But she's claiming. Yeah. And as you said, Cooper,

01:36:16.140 --> 01:36:18.949
brand new law. So. they need to align their code

01:36:18.949 --> 01:36:20.970
or make sure it's already aligned with that law.

01:36:21.210 --> 01:36:24.130
Thank you. Or just or just shut up and go away

01:36:24.130 --> 01:36:27.510
and leave people alone. Dream on, dude. When

01:36:27.510 --> 01:36:29.329
you have the neighborhood. What world do you

01:36:29.329 --> 01:36:32.869
live in? I know. There's the signpost up ahead.

01:36:34.810 --> 01:36:38.569
I did like this. This lady's laugh. They are

01:36:38.569 --> 01:36:47.850
Sasquatch lady. Yeah. Soundboard material. But

01:36:47.850 --> 01:36:50.149
I'm rooting for her. Of course. So hard. I hope

01:36:50.149 --> 01:36:53.710
she fights it. I mean, even the HOA green -lit

01:36:53.710 --> 01:36:56.149
it. I'm still... That is mind blowing. It is

01:36:56.149 --> 01:36:58.029
mind blowing. That's the part I still... Everything

01:36:58.029 --> 01:37:00.550
else about this is totally formulaic. It all

01:37:00.550 --> 01:37:02.390
makes sense. Yeah, but the part where she's like,

01:37:02.470 --> 01:37:04.569
even the HOA wished us the best of luck. I'm

01:37:04.569 --> 01:37:08.130
like, what? He came by, you know, as he was using

01:37:08.130 --> 01:37:10.069
his walker and the tennis balls on the bottom

01:37:10.069 --> 01:37:12.409
were dragging against the sidewalk and he bought

01:37:12.409 --> 01:37:17.539
our goods. He said, good luck. Yeah. Huh. Wow.

01:37:17.579 --> 01:37:21.079
Talk about the Twilight Zone. Yeah. The HOA approved.

01:37:23.859 --> 01:37:27.140
Let's do one, what time is it? 1 .47. Do I have

01:37:27.140 --> 01:37:30.100
one short one? Dude, we still got, we still got

01:37:30.100 --> 01:37:34.920
the what on earth. Yes, we do. I think that was

01:37:34.920 --> 01:37:37.140
probably it. I might've missed one, but whatever.

01:37:37.300 --> 01:37:43.560
Let's just call it a show. Okay. I have raw drink

01:37:43.560 --> 01:37:47.739
milkers. Thinking machine or bathroom encounter?

01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:01.819
Kind of want to go with thinking machine because

01:38:01.819 --> 01:38:06.220
it fits the entire podcast But bathroom encounters

01:38:06.220 --> 01:38:11.039
a good hook But you don't know are we leaving

01:38:11.039 --> 01:38:13.680
it up to me? Okay, we can flip the coin. I will

01:38:13.680 --> 01:38:18.539
or I'll tell you what evens or odds Evens it's

01:38:18.539 --> 01:38:20.279

be back to our respective compounds by then.

01:38:43.180 --> 01:38:44.880
Please remember. If I can get there with gas

01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:47.279
being so damn expensive, I don't know. No kidding.

01:38:47.640 --> 01:38:51.239
Geez. Well, you might just cut out groceries

01:38:51.239 --> 01:38:56.479
and then you could afford gas. Which we got to

01:38:56.479 --> 01:39:01.039
