Starting point is 00:01:53 too. Okay. And let me go to Jeff. Hello, Jeff. Welcome. Good morning. Thank you. Morning. Well, earlier this week, Jeff, on Monday, January 6th of 1799, frontiersman Jedediah Smith is born, right? We know all about Jedediah Smith a little bit. One of America's greatest trapper explorers. He's born in New York. And Smith explored an amazingly large part of the American West. He started his Western voyages in 1822,
Starting point is 00:02:24 joined the pioneering fur trader William Ashley on a trip up the Missouri. And a year after his trip up the Missouri, Smith set out with a small band of mountain men to explore the Black Hills of the Dakotas. Despite being mauled by a grizzly in the Black Hills, Smith continued going west to the site of modern-day Dubois, Wyoming, where he and his men camped out for the winter. Now, during his long forced halt there, Smith learned from Crow Native Americans of an easy way through the Rocky Mountains. They later named that the South Pass.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Well, Smith's new route was a high plain that gradually rose like a shallow ramp to give an easy crossing to the Continental Divide. And the employees of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company rose like a shallow ramp to give an easy crossing to the continental divide. And the employees of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company crossed this pass at 8.12, but since it remained unknown, Smith is credited for alerting all the white settlers to the existence of this easy way around the Rockies. Now, Smith also explored the Great Salt Lake, the Colorado Plateau, led the first expedition to cross the southwest of California. I mean, he's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:03:25 He's everywhere. We even have a, you know, we have forests named after him around here, okay? The question, though, for the wind, Jeff, at what age did Smith retire from exploring and fur trapping to become a merchant? He wanted to run a store in essence was it a age 31 b 41 c 51 d 61 years old or was it e he never retired to become a merchant it's one of those let's guess uh 51 51 right there in the middle it's a good guess as any not the one though i didn't answer this one right jeff so not. It's a good guess as any. Not the one, though. I didn't answer this one right, Jeff, so not just you. Let me go to Chris in Medford.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Hello, Chris. How are you doing this morning? Well, I'm antsy about this question. You're antsy about this one. Well, it's no pressure. You have a one in four chance of winning it here. Was Jedediah Smith 31 when he retired to become
Starting point is 00:04:24 a merchant, 41, 61, or he never retired to become a merchant? I'm going to say he never retired. You're going to say he never retired. Yeah, he would have gotten bored. Seemed like an ants in the pants kind of. No. Sorry. Sorry, Chris.
Starting point is 00:04:40 I was pulling for you. Let me go to Carol. Hello, Carol. How are you doing? I'm doing okay. All right. So we have Jedediah Smith went everywhere, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:04:51 And then when did he retire? Was it 31, 41, or 61 years old? Let's go with 61. 61, you're thinking on the high end. Yeah, 61. Okay. 61 years old that day. It high end. Yeah, 61. Okay. 61 years old that day. It was an old 61, too.
Starting point is 00:05:08 All right. So I guess, Diana, we're down to either 31 or 41 years old. What do you think? I got a 50-50 chance. I'd say 41. Okay. Why don't you say 31? 31. 31, yes.'t you say 31? 31.
Starting point is 00:05:25 31, yes. You're away! I'm just out of time. Okay. I just took pity on you, okay? All right. Well, you see, it's a long quiz, and the information on it all, Diana, is pretty good. So I wanted to make sure people got it, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:42 But the blazing of the South Pass route alone would have secured Smith's claim as one of the great explorers of the American West. But through the following decade, Smith also explored Great Salt Lake, Colorado, led the first edition to cross the southwest of California, all before he was 30. So, boy, he did a lot, right? Having lived through dozens of narrow escapes on his journeys, Smith decided to retire in 1830 and become a storekeeper, enter the mercantile business, right? Ironically, being a trader was more deadly than exploring while he was leading a trading caravan along the Santa Fe Trail in 1831. Smith was murdered by a Comanche Native American near the Cimarron River. He was only 32 years old. After all that, he dies as being a storekeeper and trying to get it all stocked up. So pretty interesting story.
Starting point is 00:06:32 So, Diana, we're going to send you to Diner 62. Sweet. Great story, and enjoy all that. I love the Diner 62 burger, one of my favorites here. Hang on. It's 820 at KMED. Open phones now for you. Anything on your mind, anything goes.

Starting point is 00:07:02 In the late great golden state, it's getting hard to negotiate. Myers show on 106.3 KMED. Yeah, say a prayer certainly for the folks in Southern California. Thousands of structures destroyed, thousands of structures. It's essentially their Almeda fire, you know, what has been going on there. And thousands, two dead at this point, thousands of structures destroyed, hundreds of acres, and it's out of control, and the wind's anywhere from 60 to 100 mile an hour gusts. It's a rough time.
Starting point is 00:07:50 They knew it was coming, too, because of the dryness and then the weather going in there. Before I get back to the phones, though, California seems to be, unfortunately, where all the experimentation is done, and then it's the Petri dish. Actually, I guess I should say it's the laboratory, and then Oregon ends up becoming the Petri dish. Actually, I guess I should say it's the laboratory and then Oregon ends up becoming the Petri dish. Oregon did, I'm sorry, pardon me, California actually experimented with the universal basic income recently. And then before I go to the phones, I wanted to share with you the results of one of their experiments.
Starting point is 00:08:24 They had universal basic income. Four years after Stockton, Stockton, California, a number of miles north of Modesto, San Joaquin Valley, over off of the highway, four years after Stockton conducted a nationally watched experiment, they gave 125 households $500 a month with no strings attached. And so dozens of other programs then throughout California also testing the concept of a guaranteed income. You know, this has been something that the Klaus Schwab types have been talking about. We're just going to have robots running everything. You're going to be living in stack-and-pack housing. You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. And we'll
Starting point is 00:09:08 have a universal basic income and then we'll all be happy, right? Well, CalMatters identified more than 40 similar pilot programs that have run, are operating, or who are planning to launch around the state. They are sending groups of low-income people regular unrestricted money ranging anywhere from $3,000 to $1,800 a month for periods of six months to three years, depending on the program. By the way, you can read this report in revolver.news. This is where I'm taking it from, okay? The programs represent the largest modern U.S. experiment in unrestricted cash payments with more than 12,000 Californians expected to get more than $180 million in public and private money. Nowhere else have so many guaranteed income pilot programs been launched at the same time. Lots of free money. Well, what they ended up finding, though, some of the results.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Right before the holidays, they released the results of this. While being given $500 per month in free money, in one major study, participants only ended up $100 a month richer, and they smoked more cigarettes. I kid you not. The study gave about $500 a month to 700 households in Compton, California. Another 1,400 were designated as a control group, and they found that getting a guaranteed income had no impact on the labor supply of full-time workers, but part-time workers had a lower labor market participation by 13 percentage points. So 13% fewer people would work a part-time job and so what they found out is that most of the people they didn't really improve it didn't
Starting point is 00:10:50 improve their lives maybe 100 bucks more a month but they smoked 400 a month more in in cigarettes i thought i thought that was pretty interesting so that's it and well you give everybody fish they don't learn how to fish and i guess they're just going to go out and eat the fish and then go smoke. Let me go to, I think we got crazy Jean here. Hey, Jean, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:11:13 I'm still here. Good. What's on your mind? Oh, I was just thinking of my past back when I was 14. I had a Kawasaki 175 and I got really good at pulling wheel stands. Oh, yeah. I could pull a wheel stand on that thing all the full length of Meadows Road.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I could put my foot on the pegs and just wheel stand it all the way down. Oh, you were one of those guys. I've always admired the people that have the skill to be able to do that, get the wheelie and hold it. There was some guy on the delta water speedway yesterday and i know of course he was breaking all the laws you know by doing it but he had one of those little uh little crotch rockets that they have now they're very powerful and he just gunned it and he was just holding the wheelie on the uh on the delta water speedway we go like, wow, pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Not smart, but pretty cool nonetheless. Yeah, but I did that probably, I'd say, 25, 30 times. Then I would drive the full length of Meadows Road, my feet on the pegs. I would shift up, and I would shift shift down and i would turn around and come back doing that i was perfect perfect balance what made you stop doing that uh well i'll tell you i was doing that one day and i went over backwards oh okay you know what after i did that, I could never do it again. I've lost faith in myself. I was not king of whatever. Yeah, you were not the master of your domain with something like that.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Now, that Kawasaki 175, was that a two-stroke? Just curious. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because those two-strokes, Eric Peters has talked about those two-strokes, how the real challenge is that they can sneak up on you. You'll floor it, and it takes a while for that thing to spin up. And then when it gets to that certain torque range, it'll just pop the motorcycle right over backwards, right? Yeah, well, they could do that, but it was just my own stupidity.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Just like on The Matrix, where Neil was looking for believing in himself, you gotta believe. And I lost my belief. Yeah. Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you're okay. Good to hear from you, Gene. Let me go to line two. Line two, I think I took your name, but I forgot it. Sorry, I didn't write it down. Who's this? Hello? Bill Brad here. Oh, hey, Brad. No, I guess it it wasn't you it was someone else I was thinking of anyway what's on your mind yeah hey yeah good morning so what lots of discussion about about all this uh speed speed stuff in Medford so I've got good news for you and your listeners today this evening is the first meeting of the Medford City Council and they're swearing in not one not two three or four but five new people on the Medford City Council, and they're swearing in not one, not two, three, or four,
Starting point is 00:14:05 but five new people on the Medford City Council, or five open positions and five brand new people. And they set aside 30 minutes every session to hear comments from the public, and they'll give you two minutes. Well, I know what I'm going to do is I'm going to write the council today. I don't have time to go to the meeting. I just don't. I wish I did. But, you know, I'm on the toddler schedule, you know me, in bed by 7 or 8. Yeah. But what I wanted to do, though, is I really do implore them. I wrote the old council last year, you know, about this speed limit change.
Starting point is 00:14:42 These are really good people. and i'll tell you something bill i happen to know that two of the city councilors that are getting sworn in tonight drive hot rod bmws on their lead foots oh yeah yeah yeah at least two at least two of the counselors have to have a lead foot and one of them's a realtor and we know that all realtors drive like bats out of hell yeah pretty much there does seem to be, I have noticed that pattern. It must be just coming with the high pressure of the gig, you know, that sort of thing. But ultimately, though, the right, the thing is, the city was not wrong when it had a 30 mile per hour speed limit there.
Starting point is 00:15:16 It wasn't wrong, Brad. Would you agree with me? I mean, it was that way for decades and decades, right? I would agree. Yeah, 100%. But, you know, the thing is, strings come attached to all this stuff. There's probably some grant somewhere that said, you know, if you take the money, you've got to do this, that, and the other.
Starting point is 00:15:32 But you've got a city council that is, you know, again, you've only got eight counselors. You're bringing in four new counselors and a new mayor. These are all professional people. They're used to getting stuff done. They will listen to people like you. They will. And like I say, at least three or four of them I know are lead foot,
Starting point is 00:15:52 so they will be very sympathetic to your point of view. Well, I'm going to write them a comment today. I'm hoping other people can either attend the meeting. The thing is, it's not enough just to call talk radio. I'm glad to have people call talk radio. But the idea is to get involved with this. And I know that it's ever easier when it comes – gosh, you can dash off an email pretty easily. Of course, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Maybe an email is starting to become easy to ignore. I don't know. But a well-crafted public comment is well worth it right now. And the main thing is, let's just go back, you know, let's reverse course on this situation. It's obvious that when you see 5,000 of these citations being written, that it's the wrong speed limit for the area. It is. The area is making it clear.
Starting point is 00:16:44 They're telling you that right now well bill you just made the point why can't you make it to the meeting is because you're up at odart 30 every every day putting food on your table and and and working you know you know who's really good at showing up to meetings and making all these comments the left the lycra it's the lycra wearing bicycle activists that you know that activists that like to do all this stuff. They're the ones that show up and say, oh, yeah, lower the speed limit. Yeah, it's great. It's great.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And people like you, because you work so many hours, if more people who think the way you do, and frankly, there's a lot more people like you than there are the people riding bicycles around but the bicycle riders are the ones that show up and make comments at the meetings so you have to show up that's the first thing show up and take part all right thank you brad we go to line three here on wheels up wednesday good morning hi who's this this is minor dave hello dave yeah i wanted to talk about who Donald Trump appointed as his number two and number three in the attorney general's office. That would be his two attorneys that are handling this criminal case, Todd Machon, and Alvin Bragg, and a bunch of people there in New York under U.S. Code Title 18, Section 241 and 242. And what are those subjects, since I don't know them? 242 is deprivation of rights, and 241 is conspiracy to commit deprivation of rights. They go hand in hand. So do you think it would be—is it a good idea for the Trump administration to use the DOJ then to essentially go after his tormentors.
Starting point is 00:18:46 It wouldn't be them. He turns it over to them, and they've lived the case with him, and they've been arguing good cases. They won in the Supreme Court on immunity. So I think they'll just know what to do. All right. Appreciate the call there, Dave. 770-5633. If you are on hold, I'll be right back and what to do. All right. Appreciate the call there, Dave. 770-5633.
Starting point is 00:19:06 If you are on hold, I'll be right back and happy to take your call. And we have one opening there on the board. It's open phone, 770-5633.

You know, they're talking about if you're a senior or disabled, whatever it is,
Starting point is 00:20:56 help to get a laptop or a tablet or a robotic pet. Part of me almost wanted to tear up a little bit at that. Did you have that reaction? You know, connect up by, I mean, and I appreciate connecting and, you know, listen, I know my mother's laptop. You know, I got her and, you know, she has a laptop, uses it. It's a big window to the world, or a tablet, or robotic pet. There's something about that that's almost kind of sad, isn't it? That there are so many people that don't have any contact, any human contact. Robotic pet?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Wow. That's sounding very Japanese-like. I know that the robot pets have been a big thing over in Japan. I'm not criticizing the program. I'm sure that there are some people out there seeing the need, but I'm just kind of of what have we come to i don't know maybe i'm wrong maybe i'm just totally off base but we can talk about anything on your mind really it's uh it's open phone 770-563-377-ok med diana it's uh good to have
Starting point is 00:22:22 you here welcome good morning good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I just wanted to call in and thank Brad for giving us a heads up about the city council meeting and what's going to happen. I just wanted to say that I would be there to plant some seeds of doubt regarding Vision 2040. And that's what you've been doing. Now, Diana, you have been doing all sorts of these seminars, and you have another one coming up Friday, and we're going to talk more about that on tomorrow's show, on Conspiracy Theory Thursday, and detail this.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So you're going to go before the city council. Thank you. Bless you for doing that. And you want to plant some seeds of doubt. You'd like to get them thinking about uh pulling away from the climate friendly equitable community borg i guess is that kind of where you're going i i believe there's a lot of them especially if you're new on new on the uh on the table uh going into being a councilman you're not sure what the whole agenda looks like, where it's going, how comprehensive, you
Starting point is 00:23:28 know, the city is taking over functions or the task force wants to control every aspect of community life. And that's not what the city of Medford is supposed to do. So I just want to plant some seeds of doubt. And I've done that before. One gentleman one time when I related the program to the same type of program they had in Soviet Russia, and he pointed to me and he says he was telling everybody there that was seated, this is what I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:24:03 He's pointing, he's recognizing something already, you know. And then the gentleman who was sitting next to me after I gave my handout, he wasn't even paying attention to Matt, who was talking up there, giving a presentation. He was reading a document on his phone, and he had my handout in front of him. So, you know, they need to do their research, and that's what I'm trying to encourage when I plant seeds of doubt. I give them a handout. I really appreciate you doing that, Diana,
Starting point is 00:24:38 because there's a lot of agendas being thrown at city councilors, and it's a volunteer position. A lot of these people have full-time jobs too you know on top of it yeah and and so this was one of the reasons why of course i have been advocating actually paying city councilors because there are so many so many agendas being thrown at you that that i think you almost need to dedicate more time to it than a volunteer position can actually do it but i but i'm sure though that the globalist types and the one world types like it the way it is right now where you have volunteers that are always stretched
Starting point is 00:25:16 for time and don't have time to do all the research etc etc when they're trying to essentially bring world communism in through your local government, right? Right. Yeah, that's why they had to bring in consulting agencies like 3J Consulting and Jensen Strategies. Yeah, 3J and Jensen. And guess what? They always have the Globalist American Planning Association kind of take on things. Isn't that fascinating, right?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Right, right. Yeah, well, they're the consultants and they know uh we we paid them for this uh for this study hmm right all right in fact yeah when i was on the the uh city of shady cove website they had a little confessional right there they were saying that they pay rogue valley Council of Governments to help them with their new planning stages. And I'm thinking, Rogue Valley Council of Governments is the problem. That is the problem, right.
Starting point is 00:26:15 They're the ones bringing in and suggesting which areas should be good candidates for climate-friendly areas. And their documents are pages long. And they kind of made an agreement with every city down here. And in their mind, anyone who lives between Central Point and Ashland, that's one metro region in their mind. It's not separate communities. And the idea is not to have separate communities. The idea is not to have separate communities.
Starting point is 00:26:45 The idea is to be one climate-friendly, equitable blob is what it is. Right. Yeah. All right. Now, your event, by the way, your next seminar, though, is going to be Friday, right? Friday, yes. And it's going to be about total digital monitoring and that kind of thing. We'll even talk about the new vaccine cards, smart wallets they want you to carry in the future.
Starting point is 00:27:14 All right. Now, where's that going to be? We'll talk more fully tomorrow morning. Right. But, Gabby, where's it going to be? Friday at 6 o'clock in the evening at Central Point Library. All right. So tomorrow, though, we'll talk about this as much as in-depth as we can, kind of a prequel to it, after 8.30 news. Okay?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Okay. Great. All right. We'll see you then, Diana. I appreciate you doing the work, and thanks for going before the council tonight. Let me go to Deplorable Patrick. Hey, DP, go ahead. Well, Bill, I want to talk about Eric uh eric peterson but before that i just
Starting point is 00:27:47 want to let you know i'm not impressed with this idea of robot dogs now if they could make them where they shed hair and pet dander and pass gas and lick themselves in front of your company maybe i'd want one but i don't know yeah but know. But did that strike you kind of sad? Now, I'm not making fun of it. I'm really not because there are people who are genuinely lonely and not connected out there. I mean, I'm serious. It's a serious issue. Some people, like I know a lady that calls in now and then.
Starting point is 00:28:24 She listens all the time. I heard her say, I can't live without a dog. Now, that's, I understand, but I'm not that way. Yeah, but the idea of a robotic pet filling the void, there's something to me that's rather sad about that, don't you think? Well, yeah, I guess it's time to be more sociable with your neighbors and make sure they're, you know, knock on their door. Well, a lot of these people are shut-ins, though. I think our shut-ins are maybe people who are disabled, you know, those kind of things. And yet, you know, it's like so much of the culture right now in the electronic world,
Starting point is 00:29:02 from AI to robot pets, it seems to be not about making a better reality, but just giving you a simulacrum, a just high-tech fake job about your world, I guess. And maybe that's why it bothers me. You know, have a cat, have a dog. Guess what? They're pains in the ass, okay? But that's the purpose of having a dog or a
Starting point is 00:29:26 cat okay you know i uh i always agree with you and eric peters is one of the best segments you have but uh this morning he was complaining a little about uh donald trump bloviating and stuff like that well donald trump does bloviate i wish he would use the word we more than the word I. But I'm so grateful to have him in place of these do nothing, shuffling dummies who don't know where they are, who only want to occupy the office and have the status of being president and just go with the flow and do what everybody else has done before. At least now we've got somebody that thinks outside the box and who wants to accomplish things. I'm willing to put up with his. You'll put up with the bloviating. All right.
Starting point is 00:30:17 On that, real American salute, Patrick. DP. Thank you. 770-5633. Open phones continue. This is the Bill Myers Show. Hi. Good morning. 770-5633. Open phones continue. This is the Bill Myers Show. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello?
Starting point is 00:30:30 Brian Weldon. Hey, Brian. Welcome. Wild night yesterday over in Grants Pass, huh? Yes, it was. I was there. I got a chance to speak. I'm representing Park Watch, which I have spent years now trying to deal with cleaning up our parks so children and parents can play sports and have a safe environment. And it's been a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And now, after last night's meeting, I went and said what I said, went back to my chair and sat down, and the crowd of people behind me, one lady starts yelling that Park Watch members all carry guns and they want all the homeless dead. So those are the kind of morons you're dealing with? Yes. I have a suggestion for our new council members and our mayor. Why don't we drug test everybody that wants a snap card or a new tent or new clothing or whatever? If you keep enabling these people, the crowds will come. I've asked homeless people where they're from. The doctor said last night they're all from Grants Pass.
Starting point is 00:31:44 That's a lie. They're coming from California. They're coming from other states and other areas. And they're coming up here because there is an easy touch and an enabling culture, unfortunately. And we're continuing to feed the bears, eh, Brian? Yep. Got to stop feeding the bears.
Starting point is 00:32:04 We have to make it more comfortable. We have to make the bears more uncomfortable with doing drugs, and then maybe they'll get treatment. That's what I'd really like to see happen. Okay? All right. Appreciate the call. Let me go to line two. Hello, this is Bill.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Who's this? Good morning. Hello, Bill. Hi, Lucrezia. How are you? Welcome. Oh, pretty good. Since we're talking about electric cars, I thought I'd bring up something I sent out
Starting point is 00:32:28 last night, which was about Elon Musk being a con man. And it was something David Eichel has put together, where they're taking us with all these electric cars that are obviously more polluting and toxic and deadly than anything else and anyway he says what's behind electric cars is that they they can take you where you want to go or not they can track you they take and take you to a different location or just put you in a road jam yeah hang on just a second lucretia if you don't mind me interjecting on that it's very i it's interesting where you're going with that. You know what happened last week in Vegas, right? Vegas with the Cybertruck.
Starting point is 00:33:11 I didn't hear anything about it. It blew up. No, well, the reason I was going to bring this up, though, when you were talking about the information, reason enough not to have an electric car was that Cybertruck explosion, right? Right. And because what did Elon Musk do almost immediately after that occurred? I didn't hear it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Well, he came out there and talked about how, well, it wasn't the car blowing up because we have all this information about it. It was working perfectly fine and this and that and the other. So it's like anybody with us they've got it all think of all the information all that information in the companies in in the companies with your connected cars and they knew it within a within a matter of seconds they were just pull it up on the screen. Why would anybody want that in their life? I don't get it. But anyway, I'm sorry to interrupt there. I know I interrupted you. I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I know. Please continue with David. But why would anybody want that much information monitor that anybody just pulls it up when you're out there on the road? Yeah. You know, Elon Musk is behind the climate change. And that's why we're doing this he's um three he is putting out 12 000 low earth orbit satellites and another 32 000 are on the books to put out already we're seeing animals that we're seeing birds fall out of the sky we're seeing everything from ants to fish to sheep going in circles before dying. And weird stuff with this electromagnetic radiation.
Starting point is 00:34:48 So do you think that Elon Musk could actually be a plant to really change the climate? Because you fill the sky with Skylink satellites. You put the Wi-Fi everywhere here. And you barbecue us. Is that where you're going? Well, yeah, that and three more comments just real quickly. Okay. You don't have to put a chip in your brain.
Starting point is 00:35:09 You just, as David, I think you can just inject it right into your arteries and veins and it will get to your brain. So we may have already been, already vaxxed a lot of people with the technology. You had that fellow on that talked about graphene oxide, which is also how they can nucleate the weather and turn it really cold. But he said that the graphene oxide is 2,000 times more conductive than copper. You know, they call it a conspiracy theory. It's kind of boxed it like, oh, you're just a tinfoil hat. Well, you know, if you put tin on your head, you're even more exposed to any kind of mind control. All right. So don't put on the tinfoil hat.
Starting point is 00:35:48 It makes it worse. Okay. All right. Hey, thanks for the sneak in before prior to Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Thank you, Lucretia. It's 855. If you are on hold, I will get right to you. 7705633.
Starting point is 00:36:03 We've got a little more call left here. A little more call time left here on Wheels Up Wednesday. This is the Bill Myers Show. Looking for your next adventure?

Starting point is 00:36:27 That's Life Unlimited. That's Spectrum. Hi, I'm Randy with Diner 62, and I'm on KMED. It's 8.58, and we're going to extend the show a little bit till 9.03 this morning on KMED and KMED HD1 Eagle Point, Medford. KBXG Grants Pass. We have Vicki, who is here. Vicki in the Applegate. 770-5633, by the way. Hi, Vicki.
Starting point is 00:36:55 How are you doing? Good. Waiting. Just enjoying a little bit of sunshine that's coming up. Oh, is it? I haven't even looked out. Oh, no. It's still pretty gray here in Medford.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Oh, no, it's beautiful up here. I had a comment about the robotic dogs. Yeah, there was that program, the Get Connected, give you a free laptop, a free tablet, or a robotic dog to get you connected. And to me, I thought that was kind of sad. I thought it was just sad in, you know, not a, how do I put it? It was sad. I'm not criticizing because I know it's a serious problem with people being lonely, but to me, a robotic dog feels so thin gruel. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Maybe I'm wrong. Well, you know, I've always had dogs. I've always had a black lab, and black lives matter. That's what my brother-in-law tells her all the time. Oh, okay. When she feels neglected, he's like, black dogs matter. Anyways, you know, when I'm sad about whatever, and I'm crying, or, you know, I just can't see an electric dog coming up. He probably recognized it. It would recognize that I'm sad or something was wrong. But I sure in hell would not want it licking my tears because it would probably short circuit
Starting point is 00:38:12 or electrocute me. And the shut-ins, I get where, you know, they think that a robotic dog might be feasible for somebody. But, you know, they have all kinds of support animals for people like that. And I think that they get more of a benefit from a live, breathing, warm animal than they than a simulacrum, a replica, you know, a replica. And I know they're trying to, I think, train us to get to the point where we look at artificial intelligence as somehow real and with a soul. And I'm sorry, I think I know the difference between a robot dog and a robot cat and Charlie. Charlie, who's sitting around there rolling on his back, showing his belly at me, wanting me to give him a scrub. Well, not only that, but what's next? Robotic kids?
Starting point is 00:39:14 The only benefit is that if they don't listen, you can turn them off. I suppose so. Appreciate the call. Let me go to Scott. Hey, Scott, how are you doing this morning? Go ahead. Scott? Hello, Scott? the call let me go to uh scott hey scott how you doing this morning go ahead scott hello scott uh i guess i maybe i got the wrong name there i don't know hi good morning who's this welcome this is dan the horse lady oh hi horse lady how you doing welcome, I have an interesting thought. This is for tomorrow when we get to Conspiracy Thursday. All these young people that were brought here under the DACA rules, DACA's been in for a long time. Some of the DACA people are 30 years old. Yes. For tomorrow, why the hell didn't they apply for citizenship and they don't have any room to whine?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Were they allowed to apply for citizenship? Because I would wonder if there is no legal standing to do so. I'm just asking the question. I don't know for sure. Okay. I don't either. And I've been thinking about that for quite a while. And it makes no sense because if Trump wants to throw him out, that's fine with me because they should have applied for citizenship. And if they couldn't, they should have raised hell. But obviously they don't want to be here. So it's just it's a thought for tomorrow. And we've got a lot of real smart people that listen to you. Okay. Well, I'll see what the actual status is, if they can apply for citizenship.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I don't know. But that's interesting. Thank you, Horst Lady. I've got about 45 seconds left. I'll see if I can get line two on here. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello?
Starting point is 00:41:00 Hi. Who's this? Hi, Bill. It's Francine. Francine, I got 30 seconds. Can you make a great point? You bet. I think the robotic dogs, I mean, I get where you're coming from with feeling sad about it.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I completely get that. It's a sad comment on the human condition that we think that a fake dog would work. I don't know. Yes. But the thing is, this is all part of the psyop that's going on to get people to think that robotics, this and that, is the way to go. All right. You could be right about that. Thank you very much, Francine.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I appreciate that. It's three minutes after nine. I'll tell you what. We will continue the conversation tomorrow morning on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Got it. Good stuff. Diane will be joining me, Captain Bill, and a bunch more. Email bill at billmyershow.com.
