Here's Bill Meyer. How the heck you doing? Happy New Year. It is Friday the 2nd of January, 2026. I still can't believe it.

But ended up enjoying a few days off and doing nothing all that important, which is probably some of the best vacations I have when I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on my, well, for the last couple of days, I was actually working on an old piece of broadcast equipment from the old KMED AM transmitter. Remember the really old one from the 1940s before we decommissioned that signal two, three years back. And I saved the heart of it, which was the little 1440 AM oscillator, and I made a little home broadcast kit out of it. So that's what I was doing. You know, I could actually broadcast on 1440 a.m. to around the houses in the neighborhood. So I guess this is my useless kind of vacation kind of activity that if the world

goes to heck in a handbasket and everything else gets blown out, I'll still have this old piece of tube gear from 1947 that I'll be able to broadcast in the neighborhood and do my show. Or if I get fired after today's show, I can just do my show on 1440 a.m. in the little neighborhood block. It's about how far it goes. I'm sure the FCC. He's not saying, okay, we're going to send the FCC van after him. But anyway, how are you doing? A little bit of a foggy. No, it's not a little bit foggy.

It's a very foggy Friday morning here. Give yourself a little extra time if you're heading out there. Don't know if you're working today. I am. And I'm happy to take your calls. It's 770563-770 KMED. I've got to talk with Dr. Gilda Carl here at a few minutes. And she's the author of Real Men, Don't Go Woke.

The book that they would not publish. the truth must be told. And she's talking about 2026 being the year of the man, of the male. Because around the world, men and boys are lagging in all sorts of areas. It's been years and years and years of it's going to be the female future. And they decided not only was it going to be the female future, but that men and boys aren't going to have much attention paid to them. Well, apparently she's thinking that it's about time to turn that around.

So I have a little talk with her. for 2026. Mr. Outdoors will be joining me at 710, and we'll kick around what is going on in the weather and how much rain, and boy, I guess Mount Ashland Ski, Ashland is closed indefinitely until we actually get some decent snow up there. It's been pretty dry, and then it got wet, and even then the wet, not cold enough at the higher elevation. So we'll have a conversation about that, no doubt. And today, a special wheels up Wednesday on Friday. Eric Peters will join me at 8-10. I decided to bring them on at a different time.

And we'll kick around some of the car news and transportation stuff of what is going on. But in the meantime, 7-7-0-K-M-E-D. Let me go to the phones. And here you are. First call of 2026. Good morning. Who's this? Yeah, good morning, Bill.

This is Chris. Hey, Chris. What's going on, buddy? That Christmas music was sensational. Oh, glad you. enjoy in the Mannheim Steamroller that day. Yeah. It's sensational. And, you know, I'd tell you went out to my mailbox in Williams, my P.O. box. And I did not get my thing for the recall. Oh, you didn't get your ballot for the. Well, now let's see. Now, are, okay, yeah, so you live in,

in Josephine County, so you didn't get your Chris Barnett recall notice, right? That one, right? Well, that's why I live in both counties, and I didn't get it for Josephine County. Are you registered to vote in Joe County, though? I'm registered to vote in Josephine County, yes. Okay, all right, just want to make sure because you live in both counties or have a place, you can only register in one. So that's all. I just want to make sure you knew that.

Well, anyway, I didn't get it, and it's quite a shame. I don't know what the county's doing if they're not sending them out. But, well, let me ask this then, as we try to explore this. So you have not received your recall. I don't know what your opinion is on the recall. I'm not a fan of recalls, period, unless you have real super, super, super duty, you know, negative stuff going on. But that's just my opinion. Well, Republican or Democrat don't matter.

I'll take someone's word about Chris Hart Barnett, that he's a real term. and he needs to get out. Oh, okay, so you're not a fan. All right, so what happened when you try to get your ballot reissued? I called the county's office where actually Herman was involved with the exiting of Trish House and Wendy, and the gal that's in there now is she's kith or kin with someone, but she doesn't know anything she doesn't have her hands are off okay well that now anybody who's working in the election office should be able to just reissue you a ballot this is not that

big of a deal it's not that hard i don't believe you know all they have to do is just check it off and see that okay you're a registered voter you didn't get it okay fine then just here's another ballot right they're not answering the phone well are they not answering the phone because it's holiday? Well, it wasn't, it was the 30th. The 30th, okay. Yeah, they didn't answer. Well, I don't know.

Well, Chris, let me toss it out there. Is anybody else had difficulty getting their ballot? Because we're getting down to the last few days. Tuesday is it. Got to get it in by then. Then they start the counting. And then I guess we'll figure out pretty quickly whether or not Commissioner Barnett is going to keep the gig or not.

Yeah, yeah, really. And I appreciate you being. in here in southern Oregon, as I said about Brett Beyer and, you know, the Sean Hannity's of the world. The Sean Hannity says everything he has is he's a black belt. He carries a gun. Uh-huh. His golf swing is, his short game is good. Now, remember, though, Sean's probably carrying a burner right now, you know, because he's

advertising that pepper bowl spraying gun, whatever that is. I don't. He's just kind of an A-hole. He thinks his dick's bigger than everybody. Okay, boy, you don't like anybody today, do you? No, it's just that Brett Bear, when he was interviewing President Trump, he's just an A-hole. He's just, he thinks he's better than anybody. You know, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you.

Brett Bear, of course, we had a Brett Bear on Sunday mornings at 8 here. Brett Bear is a very, I would dare, I would dare say that he was probably one of the most honest and straight ahead reporters that is out there right now because you don't really know which side of the aisle he is swinging in. And just because he does something and asks a question of President Trump he don't like, doesn't mean it shouldn't be asked, don't you think? well yeah i agree with you and yeah he's not as planted but he's just he's he's got that blue blood naughty air about himself and i just okay all right you can't cuss on the show come on man so the first call you know how many times have i got it you got to go chris all right man um you cannot i don't quite get that the first call i you know how many times i you know how many I have to use the dump button

on this radio station. Almost never. Never. And I had to use the first call of 2026. I don't know. Maybe that's what the 2026 is going to be like people are hot and bothered. 7705-633 770KBD.

A bunch of new laws are here. We'll talk about a bit of that. We actually have a little bit of good news when it comes to your power bill. And oh gosh, we're going to make it even and easier to sign up for voting. Of course, Chris doesn't get his, you know, Chris will not get his, what do you call it,

ballot, but, Chris, you also need a bar of soap. Wash that mouth off, okay? It's 19 after 6. This is KMED, 993, KBXG. Happy to take your calls to, please don't cuss. Okay, none of that. We can't do that even in 2026. Even in Trump's world, Trump can do that.

We cannot, all right? Liner Leader for 20 years running. Hang on just a second. While I was on vacation, somebody ended up messing with the controls, and I want to make sure Oregon Truck and Auto Authority gets everything, every second they paid for. Oregon Truck and Auto Authority is the Rogue Valley's Spray-on bedliner leader for 20 years running. We are excited to upgrade our Spray on Bedliner product to Legacy.

21 after 6. You know, we need a little bit of happiness in the world right now, So I play a polka bumper. Okay? This is actually Brad's theme. You know, when listener Brad calls. But the number 7705-633-7-0-M-E-D, Logan, you want to the way in. Second Call of 2026.

You're not going to cuss, are you? I promise I won't. And I can eat some patisa with the best of them, too. You like patita? You like patita, too? Oh, man. That was like one of the greatest joys of my childhood, which is why I'm, you know, overweight now, was because of eating patita when I was.

a young boy. That's what did it. Grandma Protek, man. She was good. Good stuff. That and the Norwegian left, yeah. Anyway, that last caller summed up the people who want to recall Chris Barnett to the T. Oh, you think so? How so? I don't live in Josephine County, but I know quite a few people up there. And when we led the Charlie Kirk Cruz up there last a couple months back, you know, Chris was there, and I got to meet him. And then after that, I got to meet him. You see all I noticed, just from social media, all these people who comment about these things, they're nasty people. Well, you know, politics in Joe County especially is a real, it's kind of like a social media

bumper car. You know what I'm saying? It's like just, you know, there's just something in the air. And I guess, you know, there's a real battle, I think, for the soul of this. And of course, Democrats have had their long knives out to try to flip that state or at least to, you know, bring as much chaos as possible to bear. And I think that the recall is part of that, in my opinion. It is. And what the thing's going on is, I'm the type of man where if I have an issue with another man, I will go right to that man. And so that's immediately what I did. You know, what's the deal with this, Chris? And I called him, immediately answers the phone. And he gives you, it is what it is. These other people who are talking terrible about him, I said, have you ever even talked to,

Chris? No, I don't need to. I don't want to. It's the same thing. It's It's just refusal to look at obviousness. You know, if you, we lack a lot of testicular fortitude in both of our valleys. And I think that if people have an issue with a person, go to that person. And the fact that you can't go to the person, and then they'll fall back on this. Oh, well, he's an elder abuser because of this court case. Why? Because an Oregon court ruled him an elder abuser.

Yeah, and that was incredibly, that was an incredible nonsense case as far as I'm concerned. And the fact that, well, and the fact is that, a financial, because it was a financial situation involving elderly people that had lifetime camping agreements with the old owner, that somehow that is elder abuse. But that's what the law said in Oregon. And, of course, you know, the law in Oregon could be pretty much an ass, as it were. Well, absolutely. And that's what they say, well, look, the courts upheld it, even the Oregon Supreme Court.

Well, yeah, you've got a bunch of liberal morons. You know, it is what it is. I know the Oregon courts personally, they're corrupt. as they come. So any Oregon ruling, I don't trust it. And if you say that... Well, and if there is a good ruling from an Oregon court, you just lucked out.

You got... You lucked out is what it was, because you have to figure that, especially in the upper courts here, and it's... You know, you don't like having to say that about the justice system, which I think in Oregon is the just us, J-U-E-S-U-S-U-S system, you know, that kind of thing.

But most of the higher level judges are appointed by Democratic governors. That's just the way it has been. And that's why I've never been a big fan of the way this is, the scam in which everybody knows that, okay, you want to retire, right? You want to quit. And so you never just serve your term out and have an open seat if you can help it. What you always do is that you tell the governor, hey, I'm quitting, please appoint my

replacement, wash, rinse, repeat. That's it. That's it. You nailed a bill. And I just don't want to encourage these people, you know, if you have an issue, just with, not with Chris, with anybody. Go to that person. Whatever happened, man, we need to bring dueling back, Bill.

You know? It is what it is. You know, there are moments that it would be, you know, it would be kind of interesting to go up to an elected leader and then smack them with a leather glove, right? And say, you know. Cassius Clay, he was one of Abraham's, he really, he's the one who freed the sleighs. We just give Abraham Clinton, or Abraham, Abraham, uh.

You know what is Lincoln, the credit for it because, man, if you guys look at that Cashish Clay, he was not to be messed with. If you had a problem with him, oh, let's take it outside. Let's duel. Yep. All right. Now, Cassius Clay, you're not talking about Muhammad Ali, are you? No, no, the original Cashish Clay that he was named after. People should look this guy up. And that's the whole reason, Bill. We are doomed to repeat history because we don't understand it. Same thing with our dollars collapsing. I mean, look at what's by silver people, if you can find any in the Valley. There's none in the valley.

I was going to ask you about that because I haven't talked with the folks of Jay Austin here for a little bit. I need to call them up and to check into this, but I'm told that the availability of physical is very tight right now, very tight. You can't find it in the valley. There's only one punch up in the valley with it, and there have a $5 and $6 premium on it. The other Rogue Valley coin and jewelry, they're staying closed to just fight this off. So call Mark Cotto. Mark Cotto is an awesome American man, and he supports the program. He's a constitutional-believing American, and that we need more men like him in this valley.

He's awesome. So if you guys want to try to get them, hopefully he can help you out, but good luck. All right. I appreciate the call. Thanks to that, Logan. 770-0-5-633-770 K-M-E-D. Happy New Year. By the way, happy New Year, as Oregon expands the online voter registration, this is the one story over the time that I was off that that kind of had me scratching my head.

was first reported on K2, Oregon has updated its online voter registration system. And this means that eligible residents will be able to register to vote using the last four digits of their Social Security number and a verified signature. The last four digits. Not the whole Social Security number. the last four digits, which doesn't mean anything because, you know, you can make up any one of the last four digits and then put it on there. But previously, online voter registration in Oregon, according to K2, was limited to people with an Oregon driver's license, permit, or state identification card because the system relies on signatures on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles. But under the new rules, eligible voters without those credentials can register online by providing the last four digits of their social security number and submitting an electronic image of their signature through the Secretary of State's website.

Now, there's no absolutely any possible way that only using four digits of a social security number and somebody uploads a scribble on a piece of paper to the Secretary of State's website. there's no way that this could really be abused you know this expanding of online voter registration you don't even have to show up what could go wrong with such a plan happy new year huh maybe that's that democrat plan it's just like all right you know the uh republicans and democrats that are out there right now they're really irritated at the democrats right now and um well we need to get even more people we need to get more people that don't know anything thing into the system. What better way? Just scratch something out on a piece of paper.

Upload it. That is your authorized signature. What could go wrong with something like that? Everybody gets to vote. Mom Donnie voting comes to the state of Oregon. I guess that's how you could call it, huh? 629 at KMED. We'll catch up on the rest of the news here. There we'll talk about the year of the men. 2026, could it be?

We'll kick that around. The wait is over. Eagle's Gas Depot is now open. and bringing you a break. You're hearing the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED. 633. It's great to have you here on the 2nd of January. Very, very foggy. And not incredibly cold, but very foggy morning. So watch it on the roads, okay? Although I did discover this morning that there are people who drive really, really, really big pickup trucks,

and they can see better than I can in the fog because they go 60 miles an hour on Highway 62 in the fog. So watch out for them. But never mind because those people in the big pickup trucks, they know how to drive better than you do, and they can see farther in the fog. It's amazing. But anyway, yeah, just a slight bit of social commentary there. Dr. Gilda, Carl, joins me. She's a spokesperson for the International Council of Men in Boys, and she wrote a great book.

It's Real Men Don't Go Woke. The book they would not publish, The Truth It Must Be Told. Dr. Gilda, welcome, and happy New Year. Welcome to 2026. Happy New Year to you. Thank you. 2026 already. I'm so delighted.

You know, the thing is that, you know, as honest as it was, you know, on New Year's Day, or New Year's Eve, rather, we weren't actually saying goodbye to 2025 as more as welcoming in 20206. I don't think 2025 was all that bad of a year overall. How would you evaluate it before we get to your topic? Well, since I've been a spokesperson for the International Council for Men and Boys, I have seen an aware. an opening of eyes on the parts of men that I have not seen before. So we've been working very hard to illuminate what's really going on. But men are becoming more in touch with dealing what's happening, and they're angry with the way they have been treated.

And I think this really is 2026 the year of the man, because men are saying, I've had enough, and I'm not going to take it anymore. You know, the point being, though, is that there was a real focus, and I was, like, half-joking about this a little earlier, that, and by the way, I love strong women, I'm married to a strong woman, the world needs strong women and strong men. And it seems to me that what has happened over the past, I want to say a couple of decades or so is probably how long it ended up taking to do this, although it was probably going on longer than this, that women couldn't be elevated without tearing down men.

Would that be a fair assessment of what it is? Well, that seems to go with the rest of the climate. In order to be higher, you have to push somebody lower, which is absolute insanity because you don't want somebody lower to be on the level that you want to to have communication. So that is total insanity. It just doesn't work. Putting people down is not an answer for lifting yourself up.

Lifting yourself up means lifting yourself up. And those who are around you will either understand and appreciate you for coming of age or they're going to walk in the opposite direction. You choose your poison. Yeah. I would dare say that what's going on in politics, right now. A lot of angry guys. A lot of angry guys. And men, men who I think are, and by the way, is it just many in general or specifically maybe the most hated species on the planet Earth,

which is white straight males? What do you think here, Dr. Guilda? You're absolutely right. This is what we're finding again and again and again. If you're white and straight, that's no good. It's interesting because Taylor Swift came up as. as a left-wing person. She's declared herself left-wing in favor of Kamala. And she was one of them, if you want to say it that way. And now all of a sudden, she writes some lyrics about her soon-to-be husband, about I can't wait to marry you and have babies who look like you

and some ultra-woke, white writer blessed her as being racist. What was Taylor supposed to say? I love you. I want to marry you. And I want to have children who look like Genghis Khan. Yeah. Really? How stupid is this?

All right. Now, if Travis is Travis Kelsey, right? I pay no attention to sports. So I'm not the guy to ask about this. Yeah, Travis Kelsey. Now, I suppose if Travis were black, then, of course, it would have been okay for her to say, look like you, right? Is that it? Exactly. According to this ultra-woke white writer with a Ph.D., no less.

Yeah. Now, what is this? It's just a self-loathing they were dealing with Dr. Gilda? What? I'm afraid. I'm afraid to admit that, but it is. And a lot of these, well, the woke white women are saying they don't like families. they don't like men in general, and certainly white men, they can be abolished. Well, who is buying that? I don't know, but I don't like the message, and I don't like how it's filtering down to our young kids in schools and adding to them being discriminatory against people who don't look like them, especially if white people, it just doesn't make any sense. Dr. Gilda Carl once again, spokesperson for the International Council of Men and Boys.

Tell me about real men don't go woke. The book they would not publish, the truth it must be told. Who wouldn't publish it? And what about it is so absolutely revolutionary that publishing houses say, hey, we can't touch this? Well, I had a rude awakening. This is my 19th book. I have been published by the big guys and by the smaller publishers. And so I know my way around the literary world.

And when I wrote this book, it had a different title, and I went to a very prominent agent, who I had known, and I said, this is your next bestseller. And she gave it back to me, and she said, oh, I'm so sorry, the big five publishing houses will not publish a book. And I wanted her to tell me why, although I had had all this research done already in the book. And she said, the people who are in charge of the publishing industry are in their 30s, they're young women, and they are all woke. And they will not publish an anti-woke book. So at that point, I didn't have the word woke in the title. So I decided, well, if that's the case, I'm going to put woke in the title, and they can all be damned. So I call it real men don't go woke.

men have told me it's already saved their life and this is the point behind it is not about woke or anti-woke or it's about men committing suicide at four times the level of what women are committing suicide at this is absolutely absurd and it's new in our in our culture in our history we have not seen this before with that men's life expectancy is declining and they're Depression and loneliness are skyrocketing. Testosterone levels in young men are plummeting. The male-wide chromosome that makes a man a man is shrinking, and 90% of workplace deaths belong to men. This is how men are falling apart right now. The man gets up in the morning, he gets stressed, he walks out the door, and immediately, because he is a man, he has been called toxic.

Now, I talk about toxic men in the book. I mean, when you're talking about P. Diddy, when you're talking about Harvey Weinstein, those are toxic men. I don't think you're going to have anybody disagree with you on that. But I guess, though, the overall culture of any color doesn't tend to support men in general. And how do you even begin to shift that? because it took decades to get here, Dr. Gilda? Of course it did. And we have been seeing the now, you know, women, national organization for women,

they were at first looking for equal opportunity and right they should. And I was all, hey, I think just about everybody went, well, I shouldn't say everybody because there were, you know, bigots didn't really like that idea. But I would say, the vast majority of people said, you bet, equal opportunity, you can do it. Great. Go. Go, girl. Right. So they went ahead and became very vocal. And they went ahead and beyond the vocality, they went ahead and they started becoming anti-man. I mean, we are women. And every man be damned.

that doesn't make any sense but that's how this culture has begun and now to put men down and to tell them if you open your mouth we're going to cancel you if you say too much you're going to be castrated emotionally castrated and and you are going you have no place in the world men and men are now this is why i said 2025 was i think the age of awakening because men are started to look at this and say, wait a minute. Now, there are some men who have gone in the opposite direction toward woke and have lost their voice, have lost their spine. And these are the men that the women are complaining about. They can't find men. And whether they're 15, whether they're 19, whether they're 20 or 30, whether they're 50, 60, 70, the women are all saying the same thing. We cannot find men. Now wait a minute. The thing is, though, they can't find men. They can't find men that they like because... With a voice. Well, yeah. But what I'm getting at is that for years you were

inculcated that having a spine or being, you know, being strong-willed about something was a problem. So why are they surprised? Why are women surprised? Well, women don't know what they're doing. Most of them, can't understand why the guys won't approach them. Women, there was one news article that women are stealing men's lunch. So men will at least come to them and approach them in some way. Well, this has gone so ridiculous. Yeah, I don't necessarily recognize these particular men in my own life,

but, of course, I'm in my mid-60s, so, you know, I'm not... Okay, so this is a younger generation, and they are all completely. whatever age they are, they are all complaining that men are not acting like men. They're not reaching out to women. And the women, there was some article that questioned, why don't men approach us anymore? Well, they've been so pushed down, they say, to heck with it. And when I, I've been speaking to men on TikTok, and yes, they're camouflaged, they camouflage their identities because they want to keep their jobs. They want to keep their relationships, whatever relationships they have.

And they are saying, no, I don't want to date women anymore. I don't want to be with women anymore. And one man said, I have told my son, do not date. Do not deal with women because they'll only put you down. Now, this is one heck of a way to raise a young man in our culture. Boy, it says a lot about the culture here, too, Dr. Gilda. Dr. Gilda Carl with me. Once again, her book is Real Men Don't Go.

woke the book they would not publish the truth that must be told the the challenge that you run into though is that fathers and mothers for that matter are the foundation of family and civilization and if we're at the point now where fathers are telling their sons don't get together with women uh and you know don't date women that's not going to be helpful too for family formation they don't like families they're calling what are their own taylor a tradd wife, traditional wife. Oh, oh, what a curse that is. Yeah, I'm going to clutch my pearls over that. Yeah. It is insane. It is anti-family. It is anti-family. It is anti-everybody, actually, because we do have statistics that show that people who are in happy marriages

live a lot longer. But you know, people who live a lot longer and are a lot happier are probably a lot harder to control. And I'm wondering if that's really what the agenda is going on here. Yes, indeed. It's all about control. And many men have just kind of given into it. They don't want to be fighting. They don't want to have arguments with their ladies. And they'll say, okay, whatever you say, yes, dear, and that's the new culture. But that puts them into real men who don't go, don't go voiceless or spineless, which they should not do. These are men who, if you don't like the word woke, substitute it. Let's not get into an etymology argument.

Let's talk about men who have to have a voice and a spine in order to feel good about themselves. And I quote, men in particular, my practice has gone really heavily with men, mostly. And whereas in the past, somebody would come. for advice on how to optimize their relationships and they're female. But now it's more and more men who are miserable and unhappy. And the first thing I do with them, I say, don't spend money with me. Don't spend a penny.

Go read this book first and see where you identify. See with whom you identify. Because we are going to get this all straightened out. Dr. I just want to get your professional opinion on this. You study this deeply. You've written deeply on this subject, though, is part of the breakdown of the family the breakdown of faith? What role, if any, do you think that may have? Because humans have to believe in something.

I think we're hardwired to believe in something and have a love for something greater than ourselves. And, of course, it seems like what we've done is nobody wants to go to church or have a faith There are very few seem to. But if we are going to have faith, we're going to have faith in Mamdani's government and faith in environmentalism, you know, that kind of thing. Listen, I was once a New Yorker, so I am not all that much in favor of anything that's happening in New York right now. Yeah.

But, no, I absolutely agree with you. Faith is very important for all of us. But there is some good news. The Gen Z. That generation is finding their way. way, back to faith, back to the church, back to God. And so we're seeing a new generation that is much happier to be living with God again that we have not seen before in past times and maybe it had to do with Charlie Kirk's death. Maybe. Whatever it was, I hope he died

for a reason because that was as senseless as some of these other things are. Now, most of the people going back to church, though, Gen Z men seem to be more so than Gen Z women. So my question would be, isn't that the case? We're having a divide. Yeah. That is definitely the case, and we're having a divide here. And it's interesting that the women are turning more woke, the men are turning more weak. I'm sorry, it goes the opposite.

Yeah, the women are turning more woke and the men are turning more weak. That's exactly what I meant, except the ones who are breaking away. out of that pattern and saying, I am not putting up with this woke stuff anymore. I am here to optimize my talents. And, you know, that gets into, once again, the democracy that we have washed away with the DEIs. So, I mean, this is all in the book. We have to get rid of this discrimination against somebody because of the color of their skin or their gender. and this is what we saw in the past.

I do believe that eyes are awakening, and I truly wonder if Taylor Swift is still as woke as she once was with all the negativity she's getting. Well, you know, woke sounds really great until you want to get married. He's like, wait a minute, I don't want a wuss as a, you know, they don't want a wuss. You know, even the so-called woke female is looking for someone, I mean, not to be a Neanderthal. You don't have to be a Neanderthal or something like that. looking for a partner, you know, a life partner, something that actually works for both. That's exactly the case. And I get plenty of requests for consultation with woke females who are in the

same boat of saying, I can't find a guy. I say, well, how do you speak to the guy? And in the book, I insist that, look, men can show their spine, but you know, we need the help of women. And women have to make it a lot safer for men to speak up and feel how they're feeling and express that. I said to one fighter pilot that I was dating at the time, I said, you know, I find you most attractive when you're most vulnerable. He said, what? Vulnerable. And you know, women, this is not a dirty word. And I said this in the book, you don't show your humanity. You can't you have a choice. You can either act it out and become really toxic like those that I have described or act in and get sick and fat and unhealthy and eventually seek suicide. So you cannot

have feelings. Everybody has feelings. You cannot have them just lying dormant. They will either be acted out or they'll be acted in. And neither of that is of any. good for you you know this has been going on you know this uh the challenge of the cultures been going on a long long time uh dr gilda and the one thing i was going to mention is that like i said i'm in my mid-60s but the discrimination the anti-white discrimination was going on a long long time i remember even it was the late 1980s i was trying to get a broadcast job back at in seattle where i had been very successful a number of years ago now i'm not upset about it now I'm real happy with my life.

But I remember I was openly told at that point, sorry, you're white. We can't hire any whites right now. That's what I was told by the people there at that time. Well, I started my career as a teacher in the worst neighborhood in New York in the South Bronx. And when I got my certification, I had my, I had gotten my Ph.D. I mean, typical examples to chime in with you. I had gotten my PhD I had all my certifications

to become a school principal or school superintendent and when I went in for interviews I was told sorry we need to hire a Hispanic or a black person and here I had put all my effort into

developing my career along those lines and was told such a thing and we didn't have Title IX in those days and you know this is This is very sad where we have come because this doesn't, it's racism in reverse. Because when the people they hire to do jobs and they hire them because of a particular skin color or gender, and then they find that these people are inadequate to fulfill these jobs,

then everybody turns and says, you see these damned blacks or Hispanics or women, or and so well it well it feeds the stereotype it feeds the stereotype right you know exactly yeah you can either do it or you can't one you know do you see then in 2026 men getting louder for a change then because right now there's been a lot of that walking away kind of thing or just turning their back and not wanting to be confrontation do you see the confrontation building or building steam ahead of steam right now yes indeed because I am part of this organization the International Council for Men and Boys, I am hearing men, I am singing men, they have had enough and they are not going to take it anymore. We know that without fathers in the home,

boys get into a lot more trouble. It's been statistically analyzed. And so, a man gets divorced from his wife and the family court system says, okay, you can now see your child once every two weekends. And I have had men grasping at me, at meetings, and saying, please can we get this changed. I used to tuck my child into bed every single night and read my child a bedtime story. And now I am told I can only see my child once every other weekend.

This is not bothering. And so we know the statistics, and yet the family court system doesn't abide. by anything that we have learned. So there are men who are, they're voicing this, they're angry. I did a press conference in Washington, D.C., for legislators to get these things changed. And little by little, you know, social change takes a long time. But little by little, we are seeing differences.

Yeah, I'll tell you, getting the legal system, especially the family court system, which is very unjust. having gone through that a couple of times, I can assure you of that. But, yeah, that's going to be a big kettle of fish because also a very woke profession, as you well know. Dr. Carl, Dr. Gilda, I really appreciate you coming on and mentioning this. I hope that you are right that there is a then real push to obtain balance. We're not talking about one dominating the other. We're talking about just a restoration of partnership between men and women,

a restoration of balance, the power balance between there, and that we do all what we do best, okay? The book, once again, is real men don't go woke. The book they would not publish, the truth it must be told. Now, this is not printed by a big publisher, though, huh? Is that what you're telling me here? No, I went to a small publisher. As soon as I changed the title, I knew that I was going to have to do this on my own.

And I was adamant about it because the information, the data, data, my research, was too obvious for me not to publish. And, you know, it's worked out very well. The hardcovered book sells out immediately. It looks like a men's manual. It's a men's health book. And men are reading it, but so are women and mothers are thanking me. Mothers are telling me to work with their sons, their grown sons,

who are having problems with relationships. Yeah, we've got a lot broken. got to fix it's going to be a tough one and where's the website for the book where do you get it oh it's on amazon okay very very simple and go to my website dr gilda dot com d r gilda dot com and you'll find out more about the book and how it has saved men's lives well about that dr gilda thank you for having joined me the day after new years i know it's a early time for you all right happy new year to you thank you and let's hope that the nation has a happier time thanks for being on the show a couple minutes before seven this is km-ed km-d km-d km-d
