NO ID Episode 47 - Snake Swapper

Executive Producers:

The Agenda Archaeologist

Jack Cramer

The legislature desperately needs your opinion on which vintage firearm should become Idaho's official state gun. Your opinion on whether you should retain the right to make decisions about your own life? Well, that's another matter entirely. This week: HJR 4, drug-policy ballot questions, the state's surprise $657 million surplus, the Boomer wealth machine, and a surprisingly positive River-Keeper follow-up.

NO ID Episode 46 - Bathroom Encounter

Another week, another tour through Idaho's ever-expanding machinery of public spending, from Post Falls snowplows and Shoshone County staffing shortages to Idaho's overflowing tax collections and the collapse of the Idaho Statesman newsroom. Along the way: Measles is AIDS, public schools aren't getting enough, generational wealth, the eternal political carousel, and an Idaho homeschool family's attempt to sell popcorn...right up until code enforcement gets involved. Plus, a brief glimpse into the future of NO ID and a possible new show.

NO ID Episode 45 - Absinthe and Midwifery

A seasonal river fluctuation becomes a crisis, a health warning becomes a symposium, and every problem somehow seems to call for yet another government solution. This week, we deconstruct the Spokane River "drying up", the push to change regulations on the Post Falls Dam, and Idaho doctors gathering to warn about the health risks of "climate", wildfire smoke, heat, drought, and...nuclear holocaust. We also examine Idaho's housing affordability problem, the role of zoning and regulation in limiting housing supply, and the political battle over who should be allowed to own homes. In the second half, we dig into ICE enforcement in Post Falls, the growing bureaucratic burden on workers and small businesses, the sudden resignation of three Panhandle Health executives, and the story of a Clark Fork coffee shop shut down after running afoul of health regulations. Along the way, we discuss property taxes, government bureaucracy, digital money, and the recurring and ultimate NO ID question: Are our problems actually being solved by government, or are we just creating more government to deal with the problems government created?
