Episode 135 — Power, Money, Control and the Cabal Embedded in Coeur d'Alene w/ Paul Banducci
North Idaho has always been a battleground — but most people don't know who's really been running it. This week, David J. Reilly sits down with Paul Banducci, entrepreneur, anarcho-capitalist, and co-host of the No ID Show, to pull back the curtain on the entrenched power structure that has quietly controlled Coeur d'Alene for decades.
From the three waves of migration that reshaped the Panhandle's demographics and politics, to the legacy families, realtors, bankers, and developers that make up what Paul calls the "downtown cartel" — this episode maps the terrain of North Idaho's ruling class and how they protect their turf.
Then it gets real. Paul breaks down the ugly battle at North Idaho College, where his father served on the board for twelve years and dared to challenge the status quo — only to face accusations, threats to the college's accreditation, and a coordinated effort to restore the establishment's grip. We trace the threads from the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations all the way to Christa Hazel and her father's deep ties to COINTELPRO, and ask the question nobody in the local press will: who really holds power in Kootenai County, and what will they do to keep it?
If you live in North Idaho — or care about what's happening to small American communities everywhere — this one is essential listening.
