Tell a friend about a show and you're definitely going to want to tell a friend about this show because I've got my next guest on deck and you are going to love this story. My next guest has been making headlines for years, all because he's a business owner who is proud to be a Christian and American and a Trump supporter. The saying go woke, go broke does not apply to Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho. The nothing they do is woke, whether it's worship events, conspiracy nights, election watch parties, and even their latest viral offer. Free beer for a year if you help ice to port an illegal alien. Free beer, law and order. Can it get any better than that? Owner of Old State Saloon, Mark Fitzpatrick joins tonight's episode of Nightly Scroll. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm so excited to have you. I've been following you for years, so I'm excited to hear about, you know, this new offer, but I want to start from the beginning. So how long have you been open at Old State Saloon? Have you been in the industry for a while?
- [02:07]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah. We're coming up on three years here being open and it's been quite the adventure. I'll tell you, it's my first time ever owning something like this and doing this kind of a business and I just knew that I wanted a place and my, my wife and I knew we wanted a place where people could come and Gather and be Americans and patriots, Christian, boldly, you know, professing truth, seeking truth. We invite people to come talk at, at Old State Saloon and, and give presentations and we encourage, and kind of coach and teach the audience to, to, to actually ask questions and, and decide, you know, is what this person's saying true? Is there some truth to it? What did I learn? What can we learn from each other? Open dialogue. Just kind of like a place for the community to come together. All that stuff. Prayer, worship in a bar. It's amazing.
- [03:04]
Haley Caronia
That is amazing. And honestly, it seems like a lost art, right? Being able to talk to someone. Maybe they have a differing point of view, but, you know, know, on our side of the aisle, people seem to be more open minded. You know, the left doesn't think so, but we're at least open to having a dialogue, a conversation. But, you know, we used to break bread with Republicans, Democrats. Doesn't matter where you stand politically. It doesn't matter. You can share a beer, right? Who, what Democrat would you share a beer with?
- [03:33]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Holy moly. I mean, really, anyone that's, that's willing to talk? I don't know that I have like, anybody. I never made a list of Democrats I wanted to have a beer with. But, you know, I think the idea there is that we can have conversations with people that we don't disagree with and we can learn from each other. And I have had many of them. You know, I've gone to Pride events and I've done interviews where, you know, we've really learned a lot about each other, the other person and me, and understand that we are like, you know, maybe polar opposites on some of these beliefs and about God and some things like that, but it's, it's. Once you've had that conversation where you're willing to listen to somebody and there's not a bunch of hate spewing back and forth like what happens behind computer screens. Yeah, it's harder after that point, you know, to, to go back to your computer screen knowing that person that you met and had a decent conversation with. So that's why, you know, I think everybody's kind of like really going to be pushing back against this AI thing and they're going to be going to, to, to pubs and bars and restaurants and wanting to gather with real people. Yeah, they're like, I'm pretty sure you're a real person and I'm gonna actually talk to somebody that's not, you know, fake or AI.
- [04:51]
Haley Caronia
Yeah, absolutely. And I think we saw, because of the COVID lockdowns and stuff. I mean, people were kind of holed up in their houses, their apartments. They were not really getting together face to face anymore. And I think, you know, five, six years after the pandemic, I think people are ready to get back out there and go to the bars. You know, a lot of people are maybe sober, curious, but I know that you have coffee and other things that you offer, but you're in Eagle, Idaho. So tell me about the community there. Is it mostly conservative or, like, who are the people that come in and out of your bar?
- [05:23]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah, so Idaho. Eagle is pretty reflective of a lot of Idaho, although there's probably more Californians on average in Eagle than some of the other places. So I know some of the natives here would probably say it's not. And some people are very sensitive about all the people that have come from California, Oregon, Washington. Cow. That's the cow states is what they. They call it. But, yeah, so it's. It's made up of people who are mostly conservatives. You know, my concern, though, is that people come to Idaho or people live in Idaho and they think, well, I'm in one of the red estates and everything's safe and I just need to show up in November maybe and vote for the person with the R next to their name, Republican. And the reality of the situation is, is that we are very infiltrated with people who are have, you know, they're basically wolves in sheep's clothing. They've run with a lot of money behind them as a conservative or central conservative type of person, and they wind up, you know, in the primaries getting that R next to their name because they win the primary. And then when you win the primary as a Republican in November, you will win the election. So we do have people in who have demonstrated that they don't actually believe in a lot of the conservative ideals, even though they win as a. As a Republican. They're voting and legislating to the left, unfortunately. So when people come here, you need to understand that we have a battle, too. And the battle is like, between Republican and Republican, not Republican and Democrat.
- [07:02]
Haley Caronia
Right. You got to. Yeah. Figure out who's the maga. America First, Pro Trump Republican versus some of these rhinos in there. But. So you're obviously outspoken and conservative, but were you ever nervous opening Old State Saloon and starting to mix business with those conservative politics?
- [07:20]
Mark Fitzpatrick
You know, I have this welcome letter that we print in our menu, and there's a line like, towards the end of it, and I don't remember the exact Quote, But I basically say if I couldn't own a bar like Old State Saloon that has the characteristics of Old State Saloon, then I wouldn't want to own a bar. So, I mean, to answer your question, it wasn't anything that I was fearful of or scared. It was an idea like, hey, this either works and it's blessed and God blesses it or it doesn't, and that's fine, too. I mean, if everybody rejects it and nobody wants to support and go to a place where you're free to talk about culture war and politics and encouraged to have Bible studies and things like that.
- [08:02]
Haley Caronia
Right.
- [08:03]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Then that's okay. Then, you know, I just won't do that business.
- [08:06]
Haley Caronia
Yeah. Well, let's get into some of these promotional events that you have, and we're teasing that, you know, in a little bit, we're going to talk about this latest one with, you know, nabbing illegal aliens with ice. But I want to start from the beginning because you. You offer a lot of events that are conservative in nature, and I think a lot of them is a reaction to what the left is doing, right. With Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney and pushing this trans ideology, especially during Pride Month. You, with Old State Saloon, decided to do something different for Pride Month and celebrate straight people with hetero awesome fest. So what was that?
- [08:49]
Mark Fitzpatrick
So, yeah, Heterosexual Awesomeness Month and Heterosexual Awesomeness Fest. Yeah, it was essentially, you know, we. We wanted to do something at Old State Saloon that would be during the month of June. We could celebrate God's design for sexuality rather than the what the world was pushing us and kind of like shoving down our throats that they want us to support and celebrate every June. And I'm just not having that. I can't take my family to that kind of a place. So I said, let's create a place where people would want to be at and, you know, would want to bring their family to that celebrates God's design for sexuality. And then I was like, man, you know, God's design for sexuality is so awesome. So, you know, heterosexual awesomeness was born. And, man, it was supported and loved by all of the people that like to watch your show. And it was hated by so many people. Obviously, the. I call them the LGBTQ mafia. They were after me, and they've been after me. I still hear from them daily. They call me all the names, you know, all the names, you know, fascists.
- [09:58]
Haley Caronia
Where do they contact you? Is it all through social media, behind the screen, or do people show up at the bar?
- [10:05]
Mark Fitzpatrick
No, they don't show up at the bar. We do have gays and lesbians who show up at the bar who actually agree with us that LGBTQ has gone way too far. Pride's gone way too far. Yeah. And it's. These are like, we're going to get into immigration in a minute, right, and talk about that. But these issues, both of them, are examples where the left pushes so far that it becomes just completely wicked and evil. I mean, Pride went so far that they're trying to trick and convince children and lead them down this path where they're going to get on drugs and then eventually see doctors without parents and stuff like that present, and then eventually get to the point where they're going to chop off their sexual body parts and change their lives forever. I mean, you can't get much more wicked than that. And I think that's, like, when the country was starting to realize this is actually a thing. And I think the more you look at, the more you see there was massive amounts of money behind it. But when the country realized that this is a thing, people are just like, enough is enough. So when I did this heterosexual awesome this month, a lot of people jumped behind it to. To sell, you know, to support it, because they are of the same mindset where, this has gone way too far. This is no longer about, hey, we want to make sure, you know, two gay people walking down the street aren't attacked. You know, that's fine. Nobody should be attacked.
- [11:26]
Haley Caronia
Right.
- [11:26]
Mark Fitzpatrick
I agree with that. But this is. That's not what Pride's about anymore. Pride is about forcing transgenderism on children, and it doesn't get any. Any more wicked than that. I. You know, I didn't realize how crazy deep that was and extreme that was until we did our month, and they were attacking me relentlessly every day. And they do that because they want you to fold under the pressure, and they want you just to go away and say, oh, I don't want these threats. I don't. I don't want to have to, you know, have my life threatened and my business threatened, and everybody wants to burn it down and all this stuff. They want you to quit. And they knew I wasn't going to quit. And the. It's like my. My Persona is the more people do that to me, the more I just want to double down. So, you know, I kept going. They demanded, okay, well, if you're going to celebrate heterosexuality, then you better celebrate all the other sexualities. And I'm like, no, I'm not.
- [12:21]
Haley Caronia
Listen, you guys have A whole month. We can have a month. The fact that people are celebrating their sexuality in general is insane. I mean, obviously you're doing it in response to pride, but the fact that there's a pride month, like, who cares what you're doing behind closed doors or who you're doing it with, as so long as it's a consenting adult and not a child. But to your point, you know, pride has become more about this pedophilic, you know, just insidious, disgusting attack on children. And it's not about, you know, gay people having. Right. I mean, everyone has the same rights. You know, we're all equal. There are protections for gay people and trans people. I mean, they get more protections than women these days. So it's just all crazy. But people need an escape. Not so much from the politics, but from the craziness. And I think a lot of Trump supporters are getting together with just like normal people, right? Independents, people who used to be Democrats that are like, this is just, this is wild, right? So people who are just like minded, normal people come to your bar. You have, you know, some bars, they have certain sports teams, right? It's like, this is a Bills bar or an Eagles bar or whatever, right? You are like a Trump bar. That's my, you know, I'm just an outsider. I've never been. I hope to come stop by someday. I think it would be a lot of fun. But, you know, you are like the Trump Bar, it seems like, and you've had election night parties and things like that. I've been following you on social media for years and keeping up with all the promotions that you do and things like that. And do you remember, I think you had like election night drinks or something. And I remember I was booking for other people at the time and I was like, you got to get this bar owner on. He's got these like Trump drinks. Like, this is what has been the response. Where were people all coming to your election night stuff and in Trump pads. What's that like?
- [14:11]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah, our Trump drink menu is so popular. It's. We still leave that up. I mean, we've had it up for a long time. People love it. They take pictures next to it when.
- [14:19]
Haley Caronia
What are the drinks?
- [14:21]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Oh, I mean, we have a mudslide called Biden last. Biden's last fall. And that was like going into the fall before the election, right? And then we have. What is it? The one, the survival shot.
- [14:38]
Haley Caronia
Okay.
- [14:39]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Is basically because he survived the shot, you know, the attempted assassination. So. And there's there's some other ones, but it's, It's a lot of fun. I, you know, regarding that, I would call, I would want to be known as a truth bar. And I think Trump, you know, is going to be somebody who far more aligns with truth and exposing deception than any of the other options in the, you know, the past several presidential elections. Yeah. You know, my allegiance, you know, wouldn't be to Trump. I'm not like I have to follow Trump or whatever. As long as Trump is following along with what's true and righteous, you know, my allegiance is to God, is what I'm trying to say.
- [15:23]
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
- [15:23]
Mark Fitzpatrick
And there is. There are no perfect people. There's no perfect presidents. We are choosing the best option that we have at that point in time. And so the closest president to truth and righteousness and to what Jesus Christ would want is the one that I'm going to get behind, and that happens to be right now, Trump. And so I'm thankful for some of the things he's done, some of the, you know, if it wasn't for Trump exposing the media and calling out, relentlessly calling out the fake news media and exposing them, I think that a lot of us would still be in a different world where we're living in, you know, these decept, like just a bubble of deception, basically.

Haley Caronia
Yeah, and you know, he's revolutionizing the service industry with the one big beautiful bill passing. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. I mean, he gets it what it's like to have a business in this country. I mean, he's a business owner himself. Right. And let's get into some of these promotions that you've done. So you gave free beer for people who voted for Trump. This was on election night. You give free beer to people who go to church on Sundays. You have worship nights. These are all very, very cool. You know, you're talking about your faith, your patriotism, your allegiance, not to Trump specifically, but just to the truth. Right. This is important. This is very cool. And, you know, we've seen with a lot of this go woke, go broke stuff that doesn't really seem, seem to work out. And with boycott culture and cancel culture, which I don't necessarily agree with, but it seems like you're on the right track. Right. So now you have this. Go ahead. Yeah.
- [17:58]
Mark Fitzpatrick
It's funny because I get these people commenting all the time. I, you know, you're eliminating half of your customers and you're going to go bankrupt and broke and everything. And the nice thing is, is that when we speak out boldly and everything, we, we, I mean, they're going to boycott us. So all of the people who love righteousness and truth know that they can go to Old State Saloon and you won't see all the people that want to boycott it. So they're, they're all that much more happy to go there and be there and support us. You know, I had a lady stop by yesterday and she said, I wanted to help you with all the free beers you're going to be giving away for everybody who's helping ice, which we'll get to in a minute.
- [18:36]
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
- [18:37]
Mark Fitzpatrick
And she gave me $500 in cash.
- [18:40]
Haley Caronia
That's awesome.
- [18:41]
Mark Fitzpatrick
That's the kind of support that we have. Because when you go, and I want you to come someday, but when you go into Old State Saloon, you realize, like, this is a place full of genuine, kind, loving people. And even when we do get liberals that come in, they're welcome just like everybody else. Gays, lesbians, whatever. You just. Everybody's welcome in Old State Saloon. You just can't be an idiot. The only people who aren't welcome are people who are acting like idiots, whether you're Republican or Democrat or whatever, you know, so it's, it's a unique place. And I'm, I'm, I feel very thankful that God's given me this time to be the person responsible for it. And I'm doing my best.
- [19:25]
Haley Caronia
Well, it's very cool. And you have a new promotion. And listen, every state is a border state. We're unfortunately seeing this now. You know, illegal aliens are everywhere. They get commercial driver's licenses in the sanctuary state of their choosing and then they drive and kill people everywhere. And you know, just Last month an 8 year old girl was killed by an illegal alien in a hit and run in Boise, which is not too far from you. Does it scare you to know that illegals are in your backyard killing American citizens? And does this have anything to do with this new promotion where you are offering free beer for a year for anyone who helps ice?
- [20:04]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah, it does. It does. It does have something to do with that. A lot to do with it. I didn't, I'm not like saying that's the reason why we're doing it. There's a lot of reasons why. But we've kind of been pushed just like the transgenderism issue, we've kind of been pushed to an extreme now where we had years of money basically encouraging people to come into the United States, encouraging a lot of very evil people, military age males that are coming in and it appears like there's a lot of money behind it while they're here. And we are now being weakened in so many different ways or have been weakened in so many different ways with essentially a hidden army that's been crossing our border and is in our midst. And I think that a lot of people are, are, don't quite understand how close the United States was or is or could be to falling if we don't continue on this corrective course that I, I'm hopeful that we're on right now. Yeah, it seems to me we're on a corrective course. I'm thankful for some of the things that Trump is doing to strengthen our country. But we, you know, with, with leaving the borders open. Anybody who's for open borders, you basically don't want a country is, is what the deal is. And that's, that's a lot of Democrats, a lot of liberals, that, that's what they say and essentially that they do not want the United States of America because when you do that, everybody will come in and they're going to take whatever they can take until there's no country left to take and we will become third world and it'll just be done. We'll be, will be over. And so unfortunately, you know, it gets to the point where you have to make something a rule or you have to make a movement that is pretty, you know, definite. And the definite part of that is basically saying get out. Everybody get out. Maybe down the road after we're a rich and very powerful country again and we're leading everything and our education's in place and our military and veterans are being taken care of. Maybe at that point in time, we can figure out some sort of immigration plan for the United States of America, where people who would come here would have to show that they're going to be a blessing to our country and that they would love to be here and support our country and our laws. But until then, get out. You know why? Because it's gotten to the point where it's way too dangerous. It's just getting way too dangerous. I think most people have no clue how dangerous at a point we are in history.
- [22:39]
Haley Caronia
Yeah. And this is obviously something that you're very passionate about, and I. I agree with you wholeheartedly. So you come up with this idea to kind of give back to the community, but also incentivize them to get involved with ice. Did you contact the Department of Homeland Security or ICE beforehand or let them know that you were doing this?
- [22:58]
Mark Fitzpatrick
No, no, I, I, you know, I. It's funny when things take off, too, because I do things like this somewhat often. You just never know when somebody's going to really jump on it and share it. But, yeah, I saw a couple people sharing this one right away, and I was like, yeah, this might. This thing might get some wings. And then when Department of Homeland Security shared that tweet, especially the way they did, it was so funny. And. And then I was like, wow, this is going to be a big deal. But, yeah, it's. It. So that's the offer. The offer is actually for a free month of. Free month of beer for whoever can give information to ICE to. To help get an illegal deported, you know, and. And so we have very, very strong reactions to that on both sides of the equation there. And as a result, people are either kind of like, yeah, we need an Old State Saloon in every city across our country. To the other side. I have a lot of people that want to burn us down. Burn. Burn the Old State Saloon down. Like, they're literally posting it on these forums. I'm look. Going and looking. And I did a video. Yeah. On a Boise or blm, Boise, Instagram the other day. I went through all the comments, and there was about 10 or 12 suggestions that they burned down our building, and a couple of them want me inside of the building when it burns down. So they're calling for, you know, our business to be burned down. They're calling for me to be burned down inside of it. Just because I want to follow the laws of the land, I want to protect Americans, and I. I want to Strengthen our country, just like President Trump says he wants to do.
- [24:36]
Haley Caronia
Isn't that amazing how intolerant and violent the left has become? I mean, all you're standing for is law and order, and they seem to have a problem with that. So how does this promotion work? Let's say I know that my next door neighbor is an illegal alien and I tip off ice. How do I prove to you that I tipped off ice? And does the person have to be caught by ice, Detained, deported, What. What are the parameters here?
- [25:08]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah, so, you know, honestly, I didn't think too far ahead on that.
- [25:11]
Haley Caronia
It's.
- [25:14]
Mark Fitzpatrick
I think that people, you know, if they do that, I'm probably going to give the benefit of the doubt to anybody. They need some sort of evidence that shows they can, they can show, you know, a photo or a call log or whatever, something. Maybe they're videoing ICE coming and arresting the person. I don't know.
- [25:31]
Haley Caronia
Right.
- [25:32]
Mark Fitzpatrick
And they don't need to do it publicly. They can do it just between them and me and my staff, and then we can make a decision that if that is a heroic act that they did to help to help our country, then they would get the, they would get the reward.
- [25:48]
Haley Caronia
So what do you think it's going to cost you? If. And then is this for anyone who does it? So unlimited people, like, in the community? Hopefully there aren't that many illegals in your area that need to be, you know, tipped off to ice, but, you know, is there a limit to this? Like, what do you think this is going to cost you?
- [26:07]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Well, the estimates are that there's 30,000 that need to be deported. Those are just, I don't know, some stat that I read. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but that's in Idaho. Right. And we're a much smaller state, obviously, but. Yeah. So what, what's, what do you think what your question was? What's it going to cost me? I mean, let's see. I don't know. But you may not be aware of the, the back. The, the most recent actually giveaway was we kind of changed the whole month to Mary Snitchmas.
- [26:37]
Haley Caronia
Okay.
- [26:37]
Mark Fitzpatrick
And, and so for Mondays is manly male American Monday. And if you come into the bar and you are a patriot who supports ice, you get a free beer on Mondays.
- [26:53]
Haley Caronia
Hey, so that's probably a lot of people in your area.
- [26:57]
Mark Fitzpatrick
That's even easier. That's, that's a whole lot easier than actually going through the process and making sure somebody gets deported. But so how Many beers. You know, I'm not really sure. But the thing is, to me, I'll be very, very candid with you. As far as a business decision goes, this is really simple, because what we're doing here is we're raising awareness to something that's super important. You know, you could arguably say that a bar owner in Idaho is bringing more awareness and fighting harder than the governor of Idaho to protect the citizens of Idaho from Illeg. And you have to start running, wondering why that is, and people need to start asking questions and follow the money and all those types of things. But so there's that, and then there's the people that they love. They love it. They want to gather, they want to talk about it. They want to be in support of it. They love the idea. They love the boldness of standing out publicly for what's right and true, and they just get behind it and support it. There's nobody who comes in. Or maybe a few people come in, they're like, okay, I'll have my free beer, and they leave. Most people come in, they have a beer, and then they have one or two more. They bring friends, and then they buy a hat. They're buying, you know, hoodies. They're. They want to support us because we're sticking our neck out. And it's not just me, but it's my entire staff, you know, is kind of like sticking. We're sticking our neck out there with our brand and everything. And people want to come support. They're good, American, patriotic people. Like. Just like the lady I told you about that brought the cash in. She just wants to pay for all these. Any, you know, these free beers. I have people on our. Our online store that are going in, and we have a button for them to buy around, you know, for. For patriots that come in our bar. So we have people buying. They're buying around online for people that come in our bar, or they're buying T shirts online, which we have for sale in our store, too. So the support is pretty amazing.
- [28:51]
Haley Caronia
Yeah. I was going to ask you, you know, because all of this seems worth it to you, right? However much it costs you, it ends up being worth it because you're just doing the right thing. And I was going to ask you, can people donate to this fund? You know, the woman that gave, you know, $500 cash, but it seems like you could go to your website and feel free to plug it. People can go there and buy around and. And things like that, which is very, very cool.
- [29:15]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah. Oldstatesloon.com in our store, hit the store button, not the order online button. That's for food. But if you go and hit the store button, there's options in there. We also have free coffee and it's organic coffee for veterans all the time.
- [29:31]
Haley Caronia
Very.
- [29:31]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Every day, all day veterans get free organic coffee at Old State Saloon. And we have an option for people who appreciate that to go chip into that, to help support that for, for veterans. If that's, if that fund started getting pretty good amount of dollars, I could probably start offering them half off their meals for a while or whatever, depending on how much money came in there. But, but yeah, we have good patriots from across the country who get a kick out of these stories and they feel, they feel strongly about it and they support. You know, there is, there are challenges, I guess, to doing this type of thing. And it's, it's the, some of these things I don't even want to say because I don't want it replicated. But the masses of people are very, very upset. And if you go into chat rooms and whatnot, they are, you know, planning things and doing things to really target and disrupt my business or anything I'm involved with. People are looking up all kinds of things. People are just digging. They're like really, really wanting to dig for information of any kind of immoral activity I've ever done.
- [30:38]
Haley Caronia
Wow.
- [30:38]
Mark Fitzpatrick
But it's just not there. It's. Fortunately, you know, I'm not a perfect person, but I haven't, I certainly haven't made any, like, ridiculously immoral decisions. And so they're, they're not going to find what they're looking for. But they are trying to, they're trying to dig up dirt on me. They're trying to tear me down. They're trying to. I mean, I get so much gay porn sent to me. It's. It's the most disgusting thing you could ever imagine because they're just, it's extremely childish. And the voicemails that I get, we're going to start just playing some of these voicemails. And the reason I play them, and they're really so disgusting. And, and people should really not listen to them. Except I, I play them so that people can be aware. You know, you just listen to enough so that, you know, oh, wow, I just listened to three voicemails and there's like 500 left today. You know, 500 voicemails left. And, and so it, you know, there's lots of things that they're doing to try to hurt and Then, then you have these things happen. Like, you know, the last couple days I said similar things to what I just said here with you. And I, I mentioning the governor and a couple people in politics and representatives who certainly should be doing a lot better when it comes to the immigration topic. And suddenly today I, I get a call from the state tax board here in Idaho and they inform me that I am under an audit for a sales, Sales and use tax audit. It's just a, he, he said it was just a random audit, you know, sales and use tax.
- [32:12]
Haley Caronia
Oh, I'm sure it is random.
- [32:15]
Mark Fitzpatrick
So I posted it on X. Like, you know, what are the odds basically that this would happen? Amazing coincidence. And so that people are, you know, people and they're, they're in the kind of in the fight with me. They feel it, so they're kind of commenting and this is just kind of like, give me a break. Right. Suddenly, you know, the day after I essentially publicly challenging our representatives, then I'm under a state audit. Ridiculous.
- [32:41]
Haley Caronia
It's totally ridiculous. I, you know, I'm not shocked though. But I do, I do want to come, you know, to Eagle, Idaho and I want to come to Old State Saloon because I love conspiracies. I love conspiracy theories. And I heard that you had a conspiracy night, so I wanted to ask you what does that entail and what is your favorite conspiracy theory?
- [33:08]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Well, if you love conspiracy theories, we should set one up where you come out and you co host it with me.
- [33:12]
Haley Caronia
Oh, I would love to do that.
- [33:14]
Mark Fitzpatrick
We do have some celebrity co hosts and you would definitely qualify. So we're happy.
- [33:18]
Haley Caronia
Absolutely. I'm there. That would be so cool.
- [33:21]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Those nights are a blast because the grand prize on those nights is an AR15. Amazing.
- [33:29]
Haley Caronia
This is so cool.
- [33:31]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah. And we have. So it's either conspiracy theory trivia or extremely offensive political trivia are the ones. Those are the ones where I give away the AR15. So we actually have one in January scheduled. I think it's on the 21st. We have a save the date for our next one, which is extremely offensive political trivia. And I actually thought, well, maybe for this spring or maybe February or March, we would add a new one called Extremely offensive religious Trivia. And it's like, don't come inside if you don't want to be offended because it's definitely going to be offensive. Now when I say that there's not, we're not, like, we don't get childish and gross like those voicemails I was talking about earlier. We're it's factual, but it's, you know, these are offensive facts. Like what people or leaders in some church did that was egregiously evil.
- [34:24]
Haley Caronia
Right.
- [34:25]
Mark Fitzpatrick
And people have to name their name or whoever, you know, that type of question. But, but yeah, going back to the conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories, you know, those, those are always fun topics. And people come in and they usually leave learning a heck of a lot about truth. Because a lot of, a lot of the conspiracy theories, what they say just takes six months before it to no longer be one. It turns out to be true. And, and we just have a blast. Yeah. So I, I recommend next time we announce one, you make a trip out.
- [34:54]
Haley Caronia
Absolutely. So what's your favorite conspiracy theory? Do you have one?
- [34:58]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Oh, man. There are. So conspiracy theory meaning. So, yeah, that's like, what if. Yeah. I would have to say, like NASA, essentially, that, you know, it's. I really don't trust NASA. I, I pretty much question everything that they say. And they're, they have a lot of really shady roots and beginnings. If you, if you look into it. Those are facts. I mean, but then, you know, the moon landing and those things.
- [35:30]
Haley Caronia
My language.
- [35:31]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah. So it's, it's just kind of like, pretty ridiculous when you look at it all. And then the more you look into it and you're just like, wow, this is totally bogus. And NASA's essentially a satanic space organization is kind of the way I, I put it. There's a lot of symbolism in this stuff that is very satanic. And it's almost like they're mocking God. It's this organization that collects billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars from us so that they can create content. Like you're a content creator, right?
- [36:04]
Haley Caronia
Yeah.
- [36:04]
Mark Fitzpatrick
They get billions of dollars to create content to lie to us about God's creation. And they say there is no God. And instead they prop up, you know, in June, they prop up a lot of gay and lesbian and trans and all that stuff, like, as part of NASA. It's just crazy. And then they, like, they'll show these that are way, allegedly way off in space, right. Of a nebula that looks like a female body part, you know, and it's like they're just mocking and being childish and it's, it's crazy. But, yeah, I don't really believe anything, anything they say or do.
- [36:41]
Haley Caronia
I don't really believe anything anymore, especially not when it comes to our government. I don't trust anything the government says and politicians left, right, center. I don't care. I don't really trust them as far as I can throw them. But one thing that I saw on your website is that you invited President Trump to come to Old State Saloon. So one more time I want you to make your pitch to the President. Not that he, not that I think that he's watching. He might be and he should be. But what would you serve the President from your menu?
- [37:12]
Mark Fitzpatrick
I'd serve the president whatever he wanted. But yeah, we, we what I like the most on my menu and I don't think he would like this, but I like the buffalo wings, that's my favorite. But we have a steam heated sandwiches that are pretty delicious and we, we use a lot of organic ingredients and we've tried to find local. So we don't, for example, we don't have Budweiser Bud Light. We never have. We go, we go for like Farmer's Light for example, which would be a family owned farmers Brewery. Is a family owned brewery and we serve farmers lights. Delicious. It's better quality ingredients and we want to support local family owned businesses. It's a big part of who we are all estate saloon. So I would probably try to introduce Trump to a low, to a meal from a locally owned, you know, family, families from their farms. And I know he doesn't drink, so maybe root beer or something like that.
- [38:11]
Haley Caronia
Well, you might not get President Trump, but you will definitely get me. I am going to go to Old State Saloon. I would love to host a conspiracy night with you. That would be so much fun. So if anyone is listening in the chat right now or watching in the chat and you are in the area, stay tuned for that because I definitely want to make that happen. Last thing, make your plug. Where can people find you your website again and where can they find you to go get some good food and beer and coffee and worship and all the things that you offer?
- [38:38]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yeah, awesome. So Allstate saloon is at 50 East State street in Eagle, Idaho. It's just outside of Boise. If you ever come into the Boise area, It's only like 25, 30 minutes from the airport. You can find us@oldstatesaloon.com There's a store on there where you can support and buy merch on all kinds of wonderful things, including AR, 15 magazines that have Trump or Elon Musk on them. We just put a new one in that says Build the wall, deport them all. And so you can, you can check those things out. We also do live events and podcasts from Old State Saloon in front of a live audience. And you can find that on Rumble on Old State Saloon. Cast Old State Salooncast.
- [39:23]
Haley Caronia
Well, maybe we'll have to do a nightly scroll episode from Old State Saloon. Maybe we'll take the show on the road. That would be fun.
- [39:30]
Mark Fitzpatrick
Yes. I've got an awesome producer, so we can. And the. The imagery is much better than where I'm at right now. I just happen to be in a very boring office, so sorry about that. So, yeah, we would. We would love to have you. And I just. The only. The way that I would want to end today would be that, you know, I think that a lot of people were asking me about is, you know, is this racist? And. And you seem racist. And I get a lot of comments the last. The last four or five days with people they're accusing me of being racist and when I've never said anything about race. This has nothing to do with race. This has to do with are you American, who's here legally because you're an American, or are you here illegally? And if you're here illegally, it just. The time has come where, unfortunately, we've gotten to that point where this just needs to happen, where the illegals need to get out. This is not. I am not. Race has nothing to do with skin color. I. I'm Christian. I love all. All skin people, all skin colors. The Bible says that at the throne of God, there will be people that are represented from all tribes and nations. That means it's not any kind of skin color that unites us. It's our profession, profession of faith in Jesus Christ as being our Lord and Savior. If that's the case, if you know that you're a sinner and Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, then you're my brother and sister, because we have the same father. And that's what would unite us. So that's my hope, is that people would hear that message and say, look, I don't want to live my life. I want to live my life for. For Jesus and accept him as my Savior and have that Father in heaven.
- [41:05]
Haley Caronia
Well, amen to that. I wish you all the luck in the world. I hope that people in your community, they deport illegals, and if they can't do that, at least they come and they enjoy some good worship or some good conversation around some good, good food, good beer and all of that. So, Mark, thank you so much for joining this episode of Nightly Scroll. God bless.
