Patriot Confederation with Shane Klaas

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Every patriot has an obligation to question authority. Those who
are honest are not concerned with your watchful vigilance, and
those with integrity are not concerned with your discernment. Every
American is obligated to voice their concerns and stand up
for their freedoms and liberties.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
One nation on your God invisible, with liberty and justice
for all, Ladies and gentlemen. We are the men in
the arena.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We are the Patriot Confederation.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
We will live back down from bye. We're unfreed Americans.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
All right, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Patriot Confederation for
the twenty fourth day of the month of Groom, and
this will be the last Tuesday of this month. I'll
be so glad when this month is finally over. I'm
your host, Bad Billy out of Twin Falls, Idaho, joined
as always by John Grovenor out of Nashville in New Hampshire,

(01:20):
New England. How's it going up there.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Hot, hot, hot Billy. I'm telling you what, man, I
got my car. It was one hundred and five degrees
and I'm looking at that going well, that's that car's
reading wrong. It'll drop down here about ninety five degrees
pretty soon. I look at my phone and it says
one hundred one degrees in Lowell, Massachusetts. I go, holy crap,
I guess this is real. Three. That's as far as
it went.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well. Plus you got the humidity out there on the
East Coast to go with it.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Too, so oh yeah, the humidity's great. I'll tell you what,
you know, you're like a big wall of water to
walk through all day.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Hey, you lived in Florida. I lived in South Carol
Line in other parts of the East, so I know
what it's like.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
We hit that wall right there, bottom of Maryland, top
of Virginia. Yeah, that's where that humidity wall really hits.
You can really tell the difference once you get down
in their ball below that you know.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yes, indeed. Well, I want to welcome back to Patriot
Confederation for the fourth time and joining us as a
last minute replacement. I can't tell you how much I
appreciate that. I want to welcome back to Magic Valley's
own Shane class to the show. Shane, thank you very
much for joining us, and especially at last minute.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Hey, it's always a pleasure coming on here. I'm glad
I could help you out guys, and that humidity I
lived over in Mississippi, down in the Gulf Court region,
right down there in that golf course. I know that
humidity very well and.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Right off of America.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yep, yes, indeed, yes, indeed.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Tell that Billy. Make you feel like last pick. Here
you are, You're always first pick care of Patriot Confederation.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
That was That was the first call I made when
Alexander told me he could not make it. So, yes,
first call I made was the Shane and He's like,
no problem, and I'm like thank you. Then I'm thinking
Jesus too, Yes.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Just get me out of some work. Man. Of course
I took it.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Now we know why he's here. The truth came out.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ah Man, Billy, I've been getting to know him over
the over the years. And uh, I'll tell you what
if any chance that I can do to help you out.
But I'm all there for it now, John, I got
to get to know you a little bit before I
can say that. But it's always been a pleasure.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
I see how it is. Oh, I know each other
in time.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
So wow, our our area, this part of Idaho. Let's
let's just say back last May, we basically we enjoyed
a big victory, and then into November, we enjoyed a
big victory, you know, as we voted out to people
like Linda Harkin and Greg Lanting and and uh, you know,

(04:12):
we have some fabulous representatives from Glennada, uh Senator Josh Cole,
Uh you know, uh, David Levitt, Clint Clint Postetler. I mean,
they're they're doing their constituency awesome. However, they don't like

(04:37):
that in Boise and uh so there's some things going on,
you know, a little bit more about and let's uh,
let's dive into that.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know lately Schnell Dixon, that was one of them
we got rid of. But yeah, that's that's like a
bad rash. She just keeps coming back. And she's been
involved in all whole lot of the the movement now
to uh they want their seat back, they want their
power back, and and she's got her head in the
middle of all of it. And it's a it's a mess.

(05:11):
And then you've got even within the conservative Idaho Freedom Caucus,
there's a there's now a little bit of turmoil that's
going on in there, which I wish, uh they could
figure out, because we did a good job of of
something that was much needed, and that was putting some
good representatives in office. And uh, but you know, as

(05:34):
as power power is, it corrupts and people get in
their head a little bit of power and they start
thinking that they need a seat at the table. And
it started trusting the God that put them there. They
start trusting in themselves and their own abilities. And then
and we're starting to see that's kind of where the
divide is. On one hand, you got those that are
trusting in themselves, and on the other hand, you got

(05:54):
those who truly do put their faith in God and
that's what they're there for. And and and it's it's
sad to see. It's uh, it's gonna rear its head
this this election cycle, I'm afraid, and we're already starting
to see the nastiness.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yes, yes, well, uh but I was at that picnic
a few weeks ago. Uh, Glenneda just basically put it,
you know, between if anybody, if I think it's the
either her Christy Zito or Senator Cole or amongst those

(06:32):
that you'll find who are who have the best grades
with the Idaho Freedom Foundation, if they present a bill,
it basically goes right in the trash that the the
people in Boise aren't aren't even gonna take a time
to glance at it. They figure if it comes from
any of them, it's no good. It goes against their narratives.

(06:55):
So they're going they're not even gonna give it a glance.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
You know, here's a sad thing. It doesn't even go
against their narrative. When it comes to the bills. Some
of them on the other side actually have really good
scores with iff. Some of them not so much, but
but many of them do. It's it's just this division
that's been created between those who think that they need
a chair position. Then you have Mike Moyle, who has

(07:21):
been there for gosh, I'm trying to think there was
somebody that just kind of gave and gave us a
good way of putting how long he's been in there.
It's decades. And so he is a becoming a career
politician in Idahoa. Obviously he still got his business. You
don't make enough money to be a career politician here
just off of being in the in the House or

(07:43):
the Senate. But Mike is really kind of at the
center of this because he's been in the swamp long
enough that he knows how to navigate it, and these
chir if for the listeners who don't kind of know
the process. When somebody has a bill that they want
to get past, they have to get a sponsor of

(08:03):
the bill first, and then the sponsor takes it into
a into one of these chairs. So you might have
different committees, and then you have the chairs of the committees,
and so a bill gets to sign a committee if
it's if it's something to do with health and welfare,
then it goes to the Health and Welfare Committee and
then they debate it within that committee. But here's where
bills get stopped. Let's say the governor doesn't like a bill,

(08:28):
but the governor doesn't want the people to know that
he doesn't like a bill, or you have other politicians
that don't want the people to know that they don't
like the bill, so they'll tie it up in that committee.
And what happens is they'll just take they make sure
to put somebody as the chair in each of those
committees that they trust when they can go, hey, I
don't like that bill, and if I vote against that,

(08:50):
that's going to come back and bite me in the butt.
At the next election cycle. So I need you to
kill it. Just stick it in your drawer, and that's
what happens, and never gets brought before the committee. It
never goes to a vote in the committee, and it
has to pass with a vote in the committee before
then gets brought out to the floor. And then on
the floor that's where then your legislature, whether it's in
the Senate or in the House, where they vote on it,

(09:11):
and then it either becomes a bill or it goes
out the door. And so these chair positions are very
powerful because they can decide which bills will actually be
even presented before the committee. They can stop it from
ever happening just by sticking in a drawer and never
bringing it out. And so what's happened within the Freedom
Caucus is there some of them that believe that they

(09:31):
need a chair position and Mike Moyle has somehow managed
to get the power to influence those seats, and so
some of them are buddy buddying up to Mike to
try to get those chair positions, and they are compromising
on principles. I don't have a problem with compromising over
should we spend one hundred dollars on a roll of

(09:51):
toilet paper, or five hundred dollars on a roll of
toilet paper, because we know that's what a costing government
for a twenty five cent piece of paper. But they
what I have a problem with is when you compromise
on principles, the principles of smaller government, the principles of
less spending, the principles of more or less freedom. Those

(10:14):
are the things that they should that they should never
compromise on, but they're starting to compromise on those to
make the establishment happy so that they can hopefully get
one of those seats at the chair. And so then
you have the aid over here of the great representatives
that we put in there that are holding strong to
their principles, and so they're trying to stop some of

(10:35):
these bills from passing. They are shining a light on
it and bringing it out to the public. Well, of
course they don't like it because you know evil, but
evil doesn't like sunlight. And so that's where the where,
that's where the divide is is over these people who
really want their seat at the table. They want those
chair seats and they think they need them, and they're
justifying it in their own mind by saying, well, if
I compromise a little bit so I can get one

(10:56):
of these chair positions over here, then I'll have more power,
and if I have more power, I can do more good. Well, no,
it's just that you want more power and you don't
have faith that God is going to do what God
wants to have done, and so you're now starting to
compromise where you shouldn't compromise. And this is where the
this is where all of the stir up in my
understanding has started.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yes, yes, well, one of the one of the big
factors that you know, our representatives have been trying to
tackle so hard here here in the Magic Valley. I'm
not sure about the other districts outside of the Magic
Valley except for one person that I know of that

(11:38):
really wanted to tackle this issue. Is the grocery tax
that we have here in Idaho. I mean, I'm you know,
you put state of Nevada, you pay tax on everything
that you buy except food. You know, Oregon does not
have any any sales tax, but in Idaho pay tax

(12:02):
on everything. And it's been that way for a very
very long time. So they've been trying to tackle that
with zero success. But they don't give up that fight,
which you know it's Josh was talking about it, Glenda
was talking about it, how they just want to get

(12:22):
rid of this, and obviously, yeah, why should you have
to pay taxes just to eat?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, well, and that's a very good point. So I
have kind of maintained in a perfect world in Shane's mind,
for whatever that's worth. But in a perfect world in
Shane's mind, is that we would get rid of taxes
on property. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that you never
truly own your property in Idaho. If you buy a

(12:50):
home and you retire, you do a good job, you
put all your money away that's necessary for you to
retire so that you don't become a leech off at
the government in your golden years and you can actually
enjoy a little bit of that time before you're in
your grave. But then you have what's happened over the
last decade or so, when all of the Californians that

(13:14):
are sick and tired of what's happening in California have
fled to Idaho. Well, they come in here. They sell
their house down in California for ten million dollars and
they can come over here and buy a four hundred
thousand dollars house to them what seems like pennies. Well,
by doing this, the cost of housing is just skyrocketed.
But when the cost of housing skyrockets, so does the

(13:37):
property tax. So now you have somebody that maybe had
a two hundred thousand dollars home, retired and sent themselves up.
Well a few years later, now that two hundred thousand
dollars home is worth three quarters of a million or
a million dollars, and you're paying property tax on that,
and they realize that the money that they put away
from retirement isn't going to get them there. And so
what happens if you don't pay it? The government comes

(13:58):
in and they say, well, you didn't pay your proper tax,
we are going to take your home from you. And
I think this is absolutely criminal that this happens. So
I think that you get rid of property taxes. You
shouldn't have those, we shouldn't have income tax. We can
debate that all day long, but I think the three
of us here probably are on the same page that
that's just not constitutionally. That should have never happened. Maybe not, yeah,
and we should have never let that happen. So get

(14:19):
rid of property taxes, get rid of property of tax
then switch everything over to a consumption tax, which would
be sales taxes and things like that. But to take
care of the poor, don't tax necessities. Don't tax your food,
don't tax pharmaceuticals, and don't tax things that are like
resold at thrift stores. That takes care of the poor.

(14:41):
They can get by and it helps them out a
little bit. Then on anything else above that, we consider
that a luxury. That's what gets taxed. And it's also
more transparent because if you start going down and you
find out you're paying thirty forty fifty percent on sales tax,
people are going to be ticked off. And that's why
the government doesn't want to do it, because it's two
Trump exactly.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
So we're going to continue this discussion about a minute
and a half, but we're at our first quarter. We
will be right back, ladies and gentlemen. All right, ladies
and gentlemen, we are back and joined by Shane Class.
I was thinking about something I've never really thought of
before while you were talking about what exactly we're paying

(15:23):
taxes on it, And I honestly agree when I really think
about it. A property tax is so absurd. So, you know,
we we buy things that we like, Like, say we
go out and buy a TV and we have to
pay tax on it. But how many times are we
paying tax on that TV?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Just only once until you sell it and then they
want you to pay taxes on it again if it
was done through a store.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, exactly. So I mean you buy some property, you
pay the sales tax on the property, and that's it.
Why do you have to keep paying every year? Does
it make sense?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Can I? Can I play Devil's advocate?

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
How are you gonna how are you going to afford
your fire department, your police department, your schools without some
sort of tax, and that is based on your personal
you know, property tax. So how would you, guys, levy
a different form of tax? How would you get these
necessities covered?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's a good question, A very good question too.
And you know, I mean, of course that's taken out
of our paychecks that we get, of course, But Shane,
I know you got an answer for this.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah. So I've done some research on this, and there
are several states that don't have a property tax. But
even in Idaho here and I just learned this today,
and I should have already known this, and I think
way back I probably did. But I have a home
theater company, and I was bidding against a company out
of Sun Valley, Idaho, and when in Idaho has a
six percent sales tax. But what I noticed on the

(16:57):
I was given the quote from the company in Sun Valley,
and I noticed their tax rate was eight percent. Well
wait a minute, and I went back and I look,
So certain areas around the state do add a city
or county tax on top of that sales tax. So
what you would have would be maybe a fifteen percent

(17:20):
or whatever that rate is regular sales tax than each area.
Each city in order to cover their cost for things
like the fire department or the you know, different services
that you have to have the roads that kind of
upkeep would add their own sales tax on top of it.
And again that's more transparent because now you know what

(17:42):
the state sales tax is, and you know what the
difference is in your area, and you can compare how
well your community is doing to the one next door.
And so that's how you would cover it. It would all
have to be done through a consumption tax, which is
you know, how did they do it before we had
a before we had property taxes and income taxes in
the past, and that's exactly how it was handled.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Yeah, our country thrived off from tariffs as a nation.
We did very well under President McKinley, and the liberal
left has destroyed that in nineteen thirteen.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh man, By the way, funny story I found out
real quick. I'll just throw this out there, but I
guess before the nuclear crisis in the nineteen sixties, I
guess that JFK bought all the cigars that he could
from Cuba before slapping a big tariff on him, and

(18:33):
then Cuban cigars became illegal in the United States.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Or the purchase of right, the ones you already previously
owned are perfectly legal, but to purchase them.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Yep, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Now.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
But John, you make a very good point though, that
taxes are necessary to support things like infrastructure and especially
education is one of course. Now, of course you got
a question what kids are being taught, and that's another
conversation for another time. But that that brings up the

(19:12):
point too, is now after this uh no, King's bravo, Sierra,
people are finding out you know, the Walmart is UH
was funding a lot of the the rioters with with
two by fours and bricks and possibly pro pain tanks
and things like that. And then you got it. I

(19:33):
almost forgot that back in the Summer of Love. Somebody
looked at their receipt that I think it was. I
think it was from Target, and there was a b
l M tax and I'm not and I'm not saying
Bureau of Land Management. It said b LM on the receipt, Like,
I don't know how much what the percentage was, but

(19:53):
I think what I think it was, what ten cents
out of every dollar was going to Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Was that to rebuild the businesses that they were tearing
down and burning to the.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Ground should have been shod.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
I went and shut the cooked. My purchase would have
went towards.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Say that again, that hiss that we occasionally.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
You know, crash. I don't know what causes that you're
saying that ten if I went to Target, ten percent
of my purchase would have went towards b Black Lives
Matter for their nonsense. And then these people got busted
later on buying mansions and avoiding taxes and all sorts
of stuff. So they got caught in criminal activity.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, I wish I was kidding about that, but but
you know that, I mean this the the system is
so corrupt and it's time to expose this corruption. And
you know, if I'm I just hope that other states,
especially I wish blue states had people like Glenney to
Zeiderfeld or Josh Cole or Clint Hostetler, because they they

(21:09):
are the best I've ever seen. I wish they were
in the White House mind you were, or in the capitol.
They're doing They're doing such a great job for Idaho,
you know, I mean, uh, listeners across other parts of
the country don't know who I'm talking about, obviously, but
looking up, look up Glenney to Zeiderfeld and see why
she's hated by by a lot of people in Boise

(21:33):
Is because she's doing the right thing for her constituents
and they're doing what they can to smear her.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Yeah, she's not on their agenda. So another case in
point here. If you don't like taxes, or you'd like
to have your taxes reduced, should you not be attending
tom townhall meetings or city hall meetings when they're deciding
budgets for your schools, when they're deciding budgets for your
fight departments and police departments. Because they do do that,

(22:01):
and they invite the public to attend and have a say.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
They should be I mean, they absolutely should be. And
and and I will admit I am I am just
as guilty as uh as anyone for not being a
regular attendee that I guess the challenge becomes and uh
and shame on me for this, But the challenge becomes
when you're the only ones standing in that room or

(22:27):
there's you're one of maybe four or five people and
listening in and you you just here's what they love
to do. They love to say, take the time that
that you get to speak and tack it at the
end of all of this just monotonous, boring, going to

(22:48):
go asleep kind of stuff that they've got to cover.
And then they give you know, you're there, you're graciously
afforded two minutes from your government say what you've got
to say. How because they're so nice that they give
you your two minutes to get up there and actually
try to make a point. But when they get to talk,
they get the they get the floor for fifteen to
twenty minutes, however long they want to have it, it's bad.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
So have you ever tried to talk to these people
outside of those meetings? I mean I have found I have.
I like you, I haven't attended a lot of meetings,
but the ones I've attended, I have spoken with them
about things I was knowledgeable about, primarily because I'm into trucking.
When they started talking about replacing vehicles and things like that,
I understand that language. So I got into I got
into it with them, and I thought they were pretty

(23:32):
receptive to it. And I found the rest of the meeting,
this one guy that I was speaking to kept steering
across the room at me. Thought Okay, I must they
hit a nerve somewhere. But I think they are receptive
if you can catch them at a one on one discussion.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Some of them are. It's just like it's like any
other It's like any other office. You have the people
that are in there because they're narcissists and they just
think they have it all figured out and they don't
want to listen to anybody else and they just want
to push their edge in the through. Then you have
the ones that are in there a small fraction that
that are there because they really care and and they
want to do what's best for the community. Then you

(24:08):
have some like in our community specifically, that work for
a bank, a big bank and uh and you know,
the bank wants to have some influence, right, And then
you have those that are in there and they and
they are in the real estate, and the real estate
they want to have an influence. And so then you
those are the ones that are that are planted there

(24:30):
and you're not going to talk them into or out
of anything because they're beholden to the people that holds
their burst strings. And so it really does depend on
who's there. Unfortunately, the ones who really care usually end
up being the minority.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
So what you're talking about here is you get a
guy who's a contractor who's got his buddy the plumber,
who's got his buddy the electrician, and the survey are
altogether and they happen to be on the zoning board
or the planning board, and they're enriching their lives by
how they vote. You know, we're going to buy Bob's
property over here and build this new watch of a
call that we don't absolutely need, and we're gonna SPIMBOOKU

(25:05):
box and and of course the BID's gonna go to
Joe over here who happens to be the contractor, and
so on and so for you know, you know how
it goes.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yep, yep. And I do have I do have a
friend that's uh that does serve on our city council
and he's somebody that I can speak with and and
uh and such. But folks, I am so sorry. I
had this cold that came on over the weekend and
and uh, I am just recovering. So but uh, to that,

(25:35):
to that point, you do have some people that that
are willing to listen. They really have a heart of
service and that's what they're there for. But you have
and they understand who their boss is. That's the people.
That's just the people in the community. Just like the
eight that we were talking about that are in our legislator.
They understand who the boss is. That's why they ran.
They got sick and tired of those that are in

(25:57):
office that have forgotten, and so they finally decided to
get up and do something about it. But really the
onus falls on the public, on the voter. You have
a small percentage of people who even show up for
the vote, even a smaller amount that show up in
the primaries, which in a state like Idaho where it's
primarily read, you can just pretty much guarantee the one

(26:18):
with the R next to their name is going to
get voted in. So those elections are actually one in
the primaries, but that's where you have the smallest turnout.
And so this is what's important about what you guys
are doing is raising awareness so that the people here
and then they realize, you know what, maybe I should
just stop complaining and start doing something about it and

(26:41):
showing up and studying and learning about who these people
are that are supposed to be running things and hold
them accountable and make sure that we're putting somebody in
there who's really going to be a representative, who represents
the people.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
So where you lived, you well, you guys have televised
meetings and such like that, or the recorded people go
back and review them and things like that. That way
people can get to know. And that's why I'm bringing
up is because people can get to know what's going
on in their town, what's going on in their city,
who's who, and what's what. So therefore you know because

(27:20):
nobody's going to go in there on the first day
and start slapping people around and say no, no, no,
you're doing it all wrong, right, because that would be
just rude. You got to know what you're doing first,
what you're talking about. So you're shaking your head, yes
on the on the town hall video or the televised.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, Now I'm laughing for two reasons. Number one, yes,
it is televised. It's and I go back and I
watch the recording, so that's I may not be sitting
in there, but I'm still paying attention. But on the
other hand, the first time that I really showed up
for a city councilman meeting, it was during COVID when
our city council was getting ready to enforce a mask mandate,

(27:57):
and I was pretty much showing up there to slap
people around.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
And I'll have to say, I've come to tell you
about that too. In just in just a moment. But
we are at the bottom of the hour, so we
got to take our bottom of the hour break and
we'll be back in just under four minutes. Please don't
nobody go nowhere. We'll be right back, all right, ladies

(28:26):
and gentlemen, We are back, joined by Shane Klass and
you know, getting to thinking about a few things here.
And I remember last year before the primary voting that
Glenita was talking about some of the people that are
are not liked at all in Boise and Governor Chicken

(28:50):
Little wants to get rid of them, Glenita being one
of them, Tammy Nichols and a couple other Christy Zito,
a couple other names mentioned. But in the end, it uh,
it showed it didn't matter what Governor Little wanted when

(29:11):
the votes came in, the people spoken. You know. Yeah,
he tends to forget that we are his boss, not
the other way around. You know that that authoritarian crap
that he pulled on us during COVID when we only
had one unconfirmed case and he declared a state of emergency,
you know, just so he could get that money that

(29:33):
President Trump was offering at the time. That's the only
reason why he did it. And Amman Bundy did a
good job of exposing that. So it's in the end,
it does not matter what what what the higher ups want.
It's what the people want that matters. And that's why

(29:55):
it's so important that we get out and vote. Whether
it be the primaries or the the main election, it
doesn't matter, you know. But one thing that they are
good at doing. They control the media, The Idaho Statesman,
the Times News, you know, whatever your local channels are.
And they they have they have really smeared Glenda and

(30:20):
other others really bad. And you can guarantee they're gonna
double down on it. After after Senator Cole, after Clint,
after David, They're they're really going to double down on it.
And I'll know, let's say you about that subject, Shane.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, Idaho is a perfect example of what happens when
a lobbyist becomes governor. IAQI, which is the Idaho Association
let's see Idoisation Association of Commerce and Industry. They are
Idaho's largest, oldest and most powerful lobbyist group. Our governor
was on iaki's board and shared it for twenty years

(31:00):
and so and this is the big businesses they even
now we have Meta as somebody sitting on the board.
We have Saint Luke's as somebody sitting on the board.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
And now St.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Luke's oh boy, oh yeah, so Micron has somebody on
the board. We have Mela Luka. That's Vanderslut. Frank Vanderslut
has somebody on the board. And so when you have
a governor who was lifted up and basically put an

(31:33):
office by Aaki, then then you have the mess that
we have here today. The challenge that we face. We've
proven that boots on the ground can win elections. The
problem is is that money doesn't require action. They just
throw it at the media, they throw it wherever they
want to throw it, and it continues working. They don't

(31:55):
have to get off their butts, They don't have to
leave their house and do anything. They hire somebody a
publicier or a marketer or whatever they want, and they
go out and do their thing. And and they are
very good at making sure that they can get elected
who they want elected. And Idaho sick. I think it's
sixty five of percent of the people that sit up
there in in Boise, Idaho and write the laws for

(32:16):
Idaho are paid for in their in their election campaigns
by Ayaki. So this is the challenge. But we've proven
we can unseat them, but it requires diligence. And so
the people get we get we get distracted, We get
distracted by Netflix and TikTok and everything else. And when

(32:37):
we get distracted, they think, oh, we did a great job, Okay,
we can relax. Well, no, this is when you have
to double down because all they're going to do is
just throw more money at it. And uh and and
we think that we're doing all good, so we cool
our heels. And and if if we do that, they'll
just get back in power again.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Good example of that too is uh, Nate Roberts over
and Pocatello and he had the absolute worst score with
the Idaho Freedom Foundation while he was in office. Well,
good buddy, Jake Roberts or Jake Stevens excuse me, was

(33:14):
running against him, and something's amiss with that whole thing.
I've got my own possibly conspiracy theories. I don't know
a little bit of echoing, but it's gone. But from
what I understand, Jake was well ahead in the polls.

(33:35):
This was in twenty twenty two. Jake was well ahead
in the polls, and all of a sudden they stopped
counting and closed everything then resumed counting after what I
think five am or so. And and I'll tell you
at that point, before they did that, Jake had a

(33:56):
commanding lead that obviously you know, they still have to
count every vote no matter how big the margin is.
I get that. But then all of a sudden, Jake
loses a commanding lead and Nate Roberts, the Bernie Sanders
worshiping communist from Oregon, wins the seat.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Well. And then part of the problem is again we
saw I talked about Metas. It's on the board of
by Aki and guess who threw a whole bunch of
money in Idahole so that we could get ballot boxes
put all around town. Collection boxes that was paid for
by a Zuperbocks and I think it was something like
five hundred It was an enormous amount of money. I'm
not gonna throw a dollar amount out the because I

(34:42):
can't remember the exact amount. I don't want to mislead anybody,
but it was an enormous amount of money that was
given Ido so that we could put ballot boxes around town.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
Yeah, they're doing what they can to take this state away,
you know they. I mean, they did it in Colorado
and obviously I know they're doing They're doing it in
other red states too. I mean, they're really trying to
push to get Texas because if we lose Texas, then
we're never going to have a conservative president ever again.

(35:14):
So you know they're pushing that. I mean, and uh,
you know, the more I look at Boise, and I
know that we we as conservatives have the have the
greater numbers, but there's where too much of the soylent
majority of that continues, We're going to lose this place
where I mean, and that that no King's rally that

(35:37):
happened a couple of weeks ago. Twin Falls never has
a group that big, So you know they're bringing in
I mean, Boise, I'm Boise, there were pat shoulder to shoulder,
and I'm willing to bet half of those people weren't
even from Idaho to begin with. Well probably three quarters

(35:59):
of them come from other states. Or That's another thing
I wanted to ask you, because I know you said
something about it when talking with Glenita, that you, uh,
you kind of tailed one of them and saw that
they were from some somewhere else. They weren't even from
Twin Falls. Because Twin Falls never has a protests that big.
You know, it's it's only a small handful of nutjob

(36:22):
jobs here in this city.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Just before the show before you, just before you called me.
We uh, we were coming home and I saw a
hearse painted like a rainbow like what in my rearview mirror.
I'm like, what in the world is this thing? So
I kind of let off the gas a little bit
and let it catch up and come up next to me.
And as he was coming up next to me, I
see a no King's written on a piece of cardboard

(36:46):
in his window. And as he goes by me, I'm
not really sure what the point was. He said, I
want my dead friends back. That was written across the
back window of this rainbow painted hearse. But I had
Texas plates here in twin Falls, Idaho, so go figure.
But you know, these no kings people, I got one
point that I want to make on him. In most cases,

(37:07):
if you have a king, you would get thrown in jail,
and that would mean the nice thing they would do
to you for protesting against your king. So yeah, I
don't know where they think that there's a king in
the United States, But that's they're so far off base
it's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Well, then again, we're dealing with individuals that aren't that bright.
You know, they know nothing of our history or George
Washington was the tyrant. You know, so what if we
were lost the crown to Britain, would you be protesting
that way today?

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, George Washington was the tyrant. I love it because
he's the first man in history, I think, in modern
day times, or close to modern day times, that actually
gave up his position of power willingly refuse to run again.
He was like, no, no, no, no, the terms is
enough for me.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm done.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
I'm walking away. And in his farewell address he had
actually written about tyrants and stuff like that. He was
talking about partisanship and talked about how you will become
a servant to the party. He hated partisanship. And here
we are, man, what are we servants to the party?
The party's ones making the agenda, the party ones parties
dictating the policies. They're the ones running this government, not

(38:27):
you and I. You and I don't have a voice
in this. I was talking to the wife about our
US senator who during COVID we get a phone call
just a matter of minutes before there's a town hall meeting.
On the phone, it's like, no advance notice, nothing involved.
They really were concerned over there. You know, they should
hear our voices by telling us on a recorded message,
we're about to have a phone call here or a

(38:48):
town hall meeting on the phone here in forty five minutes.
It's like, what you know, people have lives and they
plan their lives. You're giving no advanced notice on this.
I don't care about hearing from you, and I.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Well, you're talking a little bit before before we came
on the show here. And I think the strong point
is is that on the left, these people that have
the No Kings rallies and the Rainbow Club, the Alphabet
Soup Club, whatever you want to call them. The challenge
is is that on that side, they're not afraid to

(39:24):
live their beliefs all over the place. They will. They
will flaunt it in front of you. They'll have they'll
have the trans dance thing for kids, and they'll do
parades and they'll do everything else. They to their credit,
they're real and transparent and they don't care what happens
to them. They don't care, uh, how what you think

(39:44):
of them. They will be themselves all over the place.
But for some reason over here on the conservative side
of things, we feel like if well if I'm a
little bit too radical, somebody might call me an extremist,
so I better keep it careful. I better not let
anybody know what I truly think, what my true paradigm is,
what my beliefs really are. And that's why they're winning

(40:05):
the culture war. That's why they're winning. I don't know
why it's so difficult just to be authentic and be
yourself and say, hold on a minute, I don't believe
in this. Hey, mister Glanbia, I don't know why you're
paying for a pride parade. Why don't we have one
hundred people showing up down there and saying, why are
you paying for a pride parade? You know you you're
supposed to represent the community, and that's what that's not

(40:26):
what we want in our community. And you keep this up,
we're gonna run you off.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Oh but that's uh. You know, that goes back to
the earlier conversation too. Our tax dollars are actually paying
for that crap, and that that's got to stop too.
Here we are, We are at the final quarter. So
we're gonna take our final break and we'll be back
to wrap things up in about one minute. All right,

(40:51):
ladies and gentlemen, we are back and just wrapping it
up here the final segment of the show. Now, she
an't want to take a a few minutes before we
close things out. I want to, uh just tell us
a little bit very oh in the recent, very recent past,
you uh got I think it was doctor Daniel Bobinski

(41:14):
got in touch with you told you, uh, you know,
basically the two of you get in this uh Idaho
news stream started. Uh, you're gonna have You're gonna have
to tell me all, tell me all about it. You
gotta you got a podcast that's going on at least
three four times a week. I mean I heard the

(41:36):
conversation between you and Glenita, and then uh, you know,
you and uh doctor Bobinski have some interesting conversations. So
take a few minutes tell us about this.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Well, so this this goes back to John and our
conversation just a little bit ago about my first time
showing up at our city council. So, uh, it was
their return an active mask mandate, and I got all
ticked off about it. And I mean I was raised here.
You and I believe were just talking about it. I've
been here I think since seventy seven or seventy eight,

(42:10):
and it was kind of the attitude of Oh, no,
you don't, We're not going to do this. I don't
care what you do. So I got a bunch of
people together, rallied them together, and we had three hundred
people that showed up at the City Commons, which is
right outside of City Hall. It's an area this kind
of stage and where we can have meetings and fun
events and stuff like that. Got a permit in record

(42:30):
time because the people that issue the permits also agreed
we're not going to do this, and so we I
had about three hundred people show up, and I brought
in special speakers. And this is the power of one man.
It's not that I'm anything special. I just somebody. Just
can I say, I'm just one guy who got pissed
off enough to do something about it, and don't care

(42:51):
what anybody thinks about me. It's right as right, wrong
as wrong. So that was my attitude. And so I
just got a bunch of people together and showed them
the truth. And I said, okay, when, oh, you know
the truth, but it doesn't do you any good if
you don't go over there and tell them about it.
And our city council not expecting anybody to show up
like they never do to meetings. What gave us three
minutes that we could talk. So I said, go take

(43:14):
your three minutes, and if you don't know what to say,
take three minutes of silence and tell them that you're
just going to take three minutes of silence for them
to think about what they're about to do. One hundred
and fifty four people signed up to go talk, and
this meeting started at five or six o'clock in the evening,
and by ten thirty, I think we were rolling on
number eight eighty four and the city council cried uncle.

(43:34):
So through that I had a voice, and I started
doing what I called Shane Talk's Politics, but I talked
about how power corrupts. At that time, I was still
wrestling with God a little bit, but I started the
Shane Talks Politics doing what I'm doing here. The last
three times I was on here, I was Shane Talk's Politics.
Today I'm true Idaho News. I had to take a
little while because the power started to go into my

(43:56):
head a little bit, and I started getting really kind
of ticked off that I couldn't just get people.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
To show up.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Can't you get people to show up? And and it,
and it just started frustrating me and I and I
started letting it come out on a microphone. So God
got a hold of me and said, uh, Shane, you're
taking a break and uh and and I took a break,
and I and I started going to church and getting
my heart right with God. And then one day not

(44:21):
too long ago, I went to Rohnda and that's my
better half and I said, hang on tight, because I
think God's calling me back to the war things. I
don't know why. I just think things are going to
get crazy in Idaho again. And she said, been waiting
for this, go do it and so and so I

(44:43):
wasn't really sure where God was pushing me. A week later,
I get a call from doctor daniel Lebinski, who founded
True Idaho News, and he said, I believe God is
telling me that I need to go into the ministry
and focus on that and that this is going to
get in the way. And I thought of every and
I'd been on his show a couple of times, but
he said, out of everybody, I think God's telling me

(45:03):
that you're the one who needs to take it. And uh,
you know, it was kind of one of those Wow moments, right,
you know, so obviously this is where God's leading. So
I took over to ride home news and uh and
in fact, tomorrow, speaking of Christie's Ziddo, the Senator Christie
Ziddo is going to be on the show tomorrow if
I hoes there that wants to listen in at nine

(45:24):
o'clock in the morning. I do this every Wednesday at nine,
and I'm trying to get Mondays and Fridays going at
nine and see where it goes from there. But anyhow,
I mean, that's that's kind of the story. It's uh,
it's it's just really interesting how God just got a
hold of me and uh and I and I used
to be much more religious, but I got ticked off

(45:46):
at God. That's another story for another day. But when
you get ticked off and not I got ticked off
as the people in the church, and you get ticked
off of the people in the church, you never trade up.
Instead you go out and become a heathen for the
next ten years. And that's what I did, instead of
trading up and going and doing things the right way.
I'm upset that you're not doing the things God's way,
So I'm just gonna go become a heathen, you know.

(46:07):
But I've seen a lot of people do it, and
I followed down that same path. But now my relationship
with God is much more transparent through the eyes of me.
It's always transparent. God knows your heart, he knows what
you're doing. But sometimes we think like we're hiding it
from him somehow. But our relationship is a lot more
real now, so and at least from my heart, and

(46:31):
it's truer and and uh and it's uh. In fact,
I changed kind of the title on it. That's that
it's Tridaho News is really a a Idaho and global
politics through the Christian perspective, and and that's really where

(46:52):
I or I believe God's leading that. So, no, we
have a website. I'm trying to get some people ramped
up here that can start writing articles and doing things.
But right now it's kind of taking a past a
back seat to getting this part of it ramped back
up and going again. And it's exhausting to do it
the first time. Doing it the second time is maybe
exhausting because like, I've already done this, Why am I

(47:14):
doing this again? Oh? Yeah, you were stupid, But here
we are.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Well, you know, I wanted to bring something else up
to so you know how you talked about how we
defeated the mask mandates here in Twin Falls back during COVID.
But something kind of funny is while I was at
the Heateral Awesomeness Festival this last weekend, somebody walked by

(47:39):
and they said, I can't believe none of these people
are wearing face masks. Even though the event unfortunately bombed,
there wasn't a lot of people there, but oh, there's
probably there's probably a good hundred and fifty of us,
you know, And I'm I'm glad of that because I
if it was packed shoulder to shoulder, I wouldn't have
been there because that my anxiety would kick in right there.

(48:00):
So and I heard that lady say that, and I'd
kept my mouth shut, but I wanted to say, just
come to Twin Falls because even the Liberals don't wear
masks there.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yeah them, don't you have you have one? I think
I saw one of them standing out of five points
And for those of you who don't know five points,
it is just kind of the center of commerce part
of town. I saw somebody and that's where they got
it's where five or two crossroads and one comes in
at an angle, so it's five places right there. And

(48:35):
I think I saw one of them standing out there
wearing a mask the other day in the in the
eighty five degree weather outside by themselves, because they're so smart.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
But yes, yes, indeed, Oh my goodness. Oh so, so
you're gonna be on Live with Senator Zito tomorrow, you said.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. You can find us on
just like up to Ridaho News on Facebook and it's
still under the Shane Talks Politics on YouTube. That's going
to be changing soon. So if you care to see me,
listen to what I have to think. I'm just ida
whole boy that grew up here, but I guess I'm
kind of opinionated and that resident My opinions resonate with

(49:15):
enough people that it makes sense. But so you'll find
me on Shane Talk's Politics on YouTube, but you'll find
me on Truidah News on Facebook and Treidehe News on
X Well.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
I know they're tough to put together, but you know,
I had a great time with that Freedom Fest back
in twenty twenty two, and I just hope and pray
that you can get that going again. Sometime.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
That's where we met. I remember Billy there. It was
that your wife that was with you, I think, and
it was we tried to put the scene together and
it looked like it was going to be a great success.
We had all sorts of representatives that we're going to
set up a tent and show off. And the weather
just was terrible, absolutely horrible. But we and I think

(50:00):
you were trying to find We were trying to get
you power and uh and everything else.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Actually, you, you and I met at I think what's
it called Radio Hall or Radio City when Am and
Bundy was speaking that night, that's when we met.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
That's right, Yeah, yeah, Am and man, there's a guy
who truly, just like the founding fathers, was willing to
risk his life, his liberty, his h his wealth everything.
He put a boy uh governor little state of Idaho
and uh and all of his minions and at Saint
Luke's and Holland and Hart came down on him hard

(50:36):
for it. And unfortunately, because people are afraid of being
called an extremist if they stand up for what's right,
not enough people would stand up and Uh, and he's
taking the blend end of it. I wish Christians and
I wish I wish the conservatives on the right would
find their voice and stand James.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Our forefathers dealt with the back in their day, aim
A Bundi dealt with it. I've seen too many people
that tried to stand up and people will not stand
up with them. Well, they say, three percent of the
people of this country back in that when it was
colonial period, stood up to create this country, stood up
to fight for this country. Three percent, that's it, yes.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Yep, and uh Unfortunately, Uh, there's not even three percent
now that are willing to stand on their on principles
and on and on morals enough to stop what's happening
to people like him. And that's why people were afraid
to stand up. You know. They they look and they say, well,
who's gonna who's gonna be with me when uh, when
it hits the shand.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Yeah, well, well let's just think, uh, and and then
we got to wrap it up. William Wallace got torn
limb from limb after he was executed. And it's true
what they said the in the Brave Heart. They sent
his arms and legs to the four corners of England
and put his head on London Bridge. They really did
that to try to make an example of him, and

(52:02):
it didn't work. So what have we got to be
afraid of?

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Now?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
If God can stand with if God stands with me,
who can stand against me? And Christians need to remember
that and start listening to God instead of listening to
your fear. Fear is not a virtue, yes, not by
any means.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Yes, well we are out a show, of course, one
more time. Can True Idaho News if somebody what's the
website there? Even though we got it in the ticker,
where do they go?

Speaker 2 (52:35):
You can go to True Idaho News dot com. I'm
gonna tell you right now, I am not giving it
the attention over there that I need to. So really,
if you want to, if you want to help me
and support me and watch the show, go to Facebook
or over to x and find true at Ho News there,
or you can go onto YouTube right now it's under

(52:55):
Shane Talks Politics. But soon I'll be changing that over
to Geridaho News as well. I just gotta go to
the process and get it done.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
And on tap for next week. Oh, John, we got
somebody we're both very familiar with next week as we're
going to be talking with Todd McKinley and the release
of his book that he has out.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
Oh awesome, that's a good guy. Good guy. Happened to
do him pretty well. Yes, indeed, I like your background.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Yeah, it looks it looks looks very similar, doesn't it
It does.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
It looks familiar from so I can't think a where
with somewhere look familiar.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Yes, indeed, Well, thank you very much for tuning in
to Patriot Confederation. God save the Republic of the United
States of America.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
We will live back down from by
