Here's Bill Myers.
Great to have you here on Conspiracy Theory Thursday.
We have a bit of open phone time.
Actually, a whole hour.
And I love open phone hours on Conspiracy Theory Thursday.
One thing I wanted to kick around with you, we kind of started last hour,
and this has to do with the $5 million, the $5 million golden card, the gold card.
It's not buying, well, it's not citizenship, but you get a green card, you get your visa, your long-term visa, and then I suppose you can apply to become an American citizen at one point.
You're not required to necessarily build a business but you do have to pay five
million dollars and then that goes to the treasury and they use that money to pay down the debt okay
it's pretty cool and even yesterday the the treasury guy ends up talking about it in the
press conference and he was just going through the math 200 000 of these gold green cards is one trillion dollars to pay down our debt and that's why the
president is doing it because we are going to balance this budget and we are going to pay off
the debt under president trump all right that's the plan so if you're going to pay off the 36
trillion now this may take longer to to do that You're probably not just going to do it this year.
But all we have to do is find 7.2 million people with a spare $5 million in their pocket.
They're just overseas.
They want to come here.
And so they get in.
What do you think?
Is that about right?
Too little money?
Too much money?
About right?
What do you think, Matt?
Welcome back.
How are you doing?
Well, I'm thinking a couple of things, Bill. One is, we could have different levels of
membership.
Membership has its privileges, right? Wasn't that an American Express ad back in the days,
right?
Well, remember they used to have the black, American Express black?
Yeah.
So you could have a platinum card, You could have a palladium card.
You could have a diamond card.
Uh-huh.
And then charge more money.
And maybe there could be more benefits, maybe a tax break for opening a business, things like that.
Oh, okay.
So maybe a $5 million gold card just to get in, right?
No questions asked as long as, you know, we'll do a background.
I hope they're going to do background checks, right? still do that right you know i'm sure they would but you
know for five million it gets you into the clubhouse you can actually you know go into the
lounge you can maybe swim in the pool but around the golf is going to be full price okay so if you
want so for that that's going to be 1010 million, right? Maybe $10 million is the platinum card, that sort of thing.
And $10 million, what could they possibly give you more than?
Well, what I'm thinking is, like I said, you could do something with tax breaks for opening up a business, maybe offer some other things.
Then I thought, you know, the cartels, when people cross the
border, these people pay the cartels forever. Some people are under the illusion that it's,
you know, you work until you pay off the 10 grand and then you're done with them.
Right. They pay forever. So maybe that's something we should consider. So for a platinum card,
it's the 5 million up front, but then you have monthly dues, just like in a club.
And that way you have that income coming in on a regular basis for a longer period of time.
So we could just turn the entire country into a big Mar-a-Lago, right?
Yeah, or Augusta. What's that? Whether we had the big tournament? The Augusta.
Oh, the Augusta. All right.
We can do something like that.
Do you think there's any possibility? I want to share with you an email that I got from a listener this morning.
Let me see if I can just dig it up. I just lost it, and pardon me for having lost it.
Here we go.
Dale from Medford writes me on this one.
I'm going to run this one by you.
Bill, on the subject of the Golden Card,
I was not aware that American citizenship was for sale in that manner.
The situation where the Green Card is for sale seems wrong to me
and is not an excuse to institute the Golden Card.
I realize that citizenship costs immigrants time and money, but to just place a fee on thinking that we would convert our entire immigration process this country, not the Treasury. Cheap, cheap, cheap. That's what Dale says. Well, I think Dale
is thinking that we would convert our entire immigration process to just this, to just people
who want to pay $5 million. I don't think that's the intent. The intent is we're going to have a
special membership where people can pay to get in here and then encourage them to start business.
I think the other immigration processes
will still be in place. You know, I said this before on air, so I'll just make it quick.
The process really should be this. You should have businesses filing with the federal government
that they need X amount of employees. And then what they do is they go to one of the
job seeking websites. They put up their ad and then people from other countries can fill out the ad, and then the company can actually do like an interview.
Once they've said, okay, yeah, we think this person will be fine for one of our 100 positions, then the government vets that person.
You go through everything, including their underwear drawer, and you find out everything about them. Then if we say, okay, this person's fine, they're not a terrorist, they're not part of a cartel, you can hire them.
From that point on, the company is responsible 100%.
These people can never go on Social Security because this is just a work visa.
Never go on Social Security.
They're never going to collect any kind of government benefits from state or the fed so they get nothing the company if they want to hire this person the company is
going to be on the hook 100 for housing health care salaries everything else so the government
you and i never have to pay for any of it well that would certainly be less of a problem than
the current way we do it in which everybody that comes in is uh well give us
your poor you're tired you're criminal you know essentially and let's let's get you on snap
benefits right that kind of thing no listen a couple years ago chile chile uh wanted people
to move there who had money yeah and they put out they put out an ad and it went around the globe
and it basically said hey we're inviting you to move here.
You get a house for a buck.
It won't be a record, but you get a house for a buck.
You'll get all kinds of tax benefits, but you have to come with a job.
You can't collect any government benefits whatsoever.
And, in fact, there were even more benefits if you came and started a business and hired people.
But they were saying, look, we welcome you to come.
We'll give you some tax benefits.
But in no way are you going to be able to take a job from someone who's a native here and then so there's there's
precedent for doing this you're you're sweetening the pot in other words though do you think though
that five well i don't know is five million too much too little about right what do you think
overall on that i almost thought it was a little cheap myself, if you're talking about, you know, pretty much instant access to the country, but I could be wrong about that. No, I think you make
a good point, because the long-term benefit of living in America, doing business in America,
because really, what are you buying for that? You're buying our legal system, which, you know,
is good or bad, depending on where you live. Yeah, and Yeah, but also protection of property rights and contracts.
Of course, that's been kind of under fire here in the United States for a few years, though.
That is an issue.
Well, you know, here's the problem.
And I don't want to say it's a problem, but there is political risk, though, to coming to the United States.
Isn't there?
Well, that's what I said, depending on where you live.
Well, yeah, that's what I'm getting at here, because it's not just, you know,
they're trying to restore a sense of liberty and free markets and protecting property to a certain extent,
but there's about half the country that really doesn't want that and so you know it's almost like we're on this uh this teetering
this teetering fulcrum of are are we are we going to be able to uh to stop the communist hordes or
the marxism that has been infecting us for a number of years that we've invited in frankly
i think and or is it uh are we going to be able to make a play? Because, you know, it's one thing if you thought there was no political risk involved here, great.
Come on, you pay the $5 million.
But maybe, well, I don't know, maybe there's still going to be political risk,
but there's less political risk here than, let's say, being in the European Union.
Maybe that's a better way of looking at it.
Maybe that's the competition, right?
That was going to be my point, Bill, that it's all relative.
Maybe you've managed to make money in the place you were, but you found yourself limited for long-term security in regards to your business.
Yeah.
But, yeah, there's always political risk any time you go somewhere else.
One of them is obviously understanding our laws and knowing the ins and outs but well the other thing though is that we're one of the few companies uh countries rather that taxes its citizens on their
global earnings right uh yeah so maybe you get a benefit by being here if you move your business
here maybe you only get taxed here and that's part of the club membership maybe for someone
yeah you get you get the platinum club five million if you just want to come here, $10 million, and then we will not, you know,
you bring your company here and we're not going to tax you over in India.
You know, that kind of thing.
What you do in India.
Yeah, you'll only be taxed here for the revenue that you generate here.
You can't, you know, send it to anybody.
But, you know, the point you're making, I guess, is if you're someone who's in the lumber business in Canada,
you certainly wouldn't move here and open up a mill in Oregon or Washington.
Right?
You wouldn't do that.
But, like, you were talking about your buddy that moved to Tennessee and was able to start a home-based business.
Oh, I know.
And he's doing great.
He and his wife are doing – they're working their butt off, though, because, you know,
anytime you're doing bakery, you know, being a baker, you know, I can imagine like, you know, the folks over at the Artisan Bakery Cafe in Medford.
I know these people work their tail off, but they were able to start it in their own home because the regulations in Tennessee were so much lighter.
And then they were able to grow it and they got a business partner and now they're either they're they're just going nuts on it i mean good for him and i i just love to hear
those kind of stories like to see more of that really would yeah you know the example i brought
up to you was that uh why can't why can't a young man who really he maybe took auto shop in high
school why couldn't that young man start a business of buying old cars, you know,
because cars are expensive now. So buying old cars and not old, old, obviously, but,
and then fixing them up and then reselling them without all the regulation, without saying,
okay, well now you're a dealer. Now you have all these fees and you can't do it out of your house
and you can't, you know, that's, that's the biggest problem I see is the regulation.
Obviously, taxes make a difference.
Yeah, but getting in the way of young people being able to be productive
and actually get some skin in the game and live and thrive, you know?
I want to see the ability of someone to be able to graduate from school around here,
stay, thrive,
and not necessarily have to go into methamphetamine dealership in order to pay the bills.
Okay?
That's a great point, Bill.
You know, we good with that?
All right.
Thanks for the call.
I always appreciate Matt's call.
I really do.
What do you think about this, the $5 million gold card, the golden ticket?
I'm always thinking of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, right?
The golden ticket.
How about a platinum one?
What would you do?
You talk about that.
Other things on my mind this morning, too.
Before I go back to the phones, something to think about.
What do you think happened with Gene Hackman?
Gene Hackman, Oscar award-winning actor, his wife, their dog, found dead in their house in New Mexico.
He's 95 years old.
They're not suspecting foul play at this point.
But I'm thinking, what could it be?
Is it carbon monoxide poisoning?
I mean, that's the first thing that comes to my mind.
Maybe it was something like that.
But that's just weird.
95, I had no idea he was a 95.
Great actor, great actor.
Another question I would pose to you also this morning is,
Pam Bondi is supposed to release the Epstein files today.
Sometime today they're going to start talking about that.
Who do you think has the most to be afraid of?
Of all the people out there, who do you believe has the most to lose,
the most to worry about with the Epstein files being out there?
Finally, what do you think?

It's the Phil Meyer Show on KMmed southern oregon's place to talk i love open phone time
on conspiracy theory thursday they just go to so many things that are on your mind i want to go to
mark here first mark you're on the road here and i was talking about a friend of mine that moved to
tennessee has built a great bakery business but was able able to do it in his home at first.
And you said you had a friend that moved to Tennessee also?
Tell me about it.
Yeah, he moved to Tennessee about five years ago, I guess.
And after about a year of being there, he now calls me at least once or twice a month
telling me I have to move to Tennessee.
And what is the difference between Oregon and Tennessee?
What does he tell you?
He had done some contracting, and I'm a contractor,
and the house they bought was 20 acres, house, barn, shop, all cross-fenced for under $200,000.
Oh, I want to cry.
I want to cry.
I mean, $200,000, you know what, $200,000 around here is a crap shack, right?
You know?
Right.
Well, no, down here you buy a lot for $100,000.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.
Okay.
Okay, well, I'm not done yet.
His family, he kept telling his family what it was like.
So two of the family members
now moved onto the property and all they had to do was prove that they did their septic right for
the two mobiles that they put on the property. And that's it. And as far as building is concerned,
they do not have all these fricking rules that drive you absolutely crazy and make it almost
impossible to build anything. You meanennessee actually wants their citizens to be able to
live and that also means that you know if you want to put a couple of mobile homes on your
20 acre lot god bless you right if you're a 20 acre lot you can do whatever the hell you want
with it wow that that sounds so well well, American-like.
At least what I used to think of it being American was like.
It makes me want to move to Tennessee, but I've got too much family here.
Yeah, and that's my issue here. This is home for me.
Boy, I think this is also why you look at the greater Idaho movement, which starts to look very appealing, because I'm sure even Idaho's government looks pretty good compared to Oregon.
That's for sure.
Let me go to Holly.
Speaking of the Oregon former government, of course, Oregon Republican Party had their big elections, I guess, recently.
And she's the Josephine County Republican Party chair.
Hey, Holly, what's going on?
Good morning, Bill.
Well, we went to the ORP meeting this weekend, and I was really
pleased with the people that were elected to run the ORP. I think that's going to be very good.
They seem to get along very well together. There doesn't seem to be a big division in the ranks,
and that's really going to help. And following that, so Jerry Cummings is our new chair of the
party for the ORP in Oregon. What can you tell me about Jerry? I know nothing about him.
He's a minister, for one thing.
He's an excellent speaker.
He's been involved in politics for a very long time.
His values align with the party.
He's very interested in getting more candidates elected and that kind of thing.
He's going to focus a lot of attention on that
because that's what we need to do we need to tip the scales on the on the on the legislature
in oregon so he's a great guy i i'll get more information out to you about him but i think
you're going to be very hey why don't you give me uh contact i'll just call him up we'll get him on
the show sometime okay absolutely i'll do that all. The next thing we did is went down and spent a few days in Salem here. I'm still in Salem.
So we could talk to a few people. We went and met with Jeff Golden to discuss 762. And he seemed
like he was barely reasonable guy. He's interested in, I think, eliminating the map, which we're
working on. But that doesn't mean that anybody should stop filing their amendments or they should get all of those in as soon as they possibly can.
And Saturday, we are going to have our normal rally at the office at 513 Northeast 6th Street, Josephine County, across from the courthouse.
We are going to be having that from 10 until about noon.
We'll have a number of people there.
Noah Robinson is going to be there to speak.
He's a senator, of course. And then we'll have Representative Dwayne Younger will be there.
Ron Smith, our commissioner, will be there to talk ron smith our commissioner will be there to talk about uh several different
things and then i think we're going to have our our um mayor there as well josephine county so
it's a great opportunity for citizens to speak to those people and following that there'll be
people in the office to help anyone who um hasn't filed their paperwork yet. All right.
All right.
Now, what about the Patriots Conference?
That's going to be, what, March 15th.
And I'll be one of the speakers there, but where do you go to get the tickets for it
and find out more?
You can get those from our office right at 513 Northeast 6th Street.
You can buy them at the door.
You call our office and we'll mail them to you, whatever you need.
But that's going to be an absolutely fantastic conference with you starting it off.
And then Karen England will be there.
She's going to be talking about the issues we have with the school.
She's fantastic.
Dr. Robert Marbert will be speaking.
He's an advisor to President Trump on issues of homelessness.
Oh, Marbert. I talked with him the other week. Yeah, right. He's he's I'm knocked out by him. He's fantastic. Steve Junkus
will be there talking about the legal issues that are affecting our freedoms in Oregon. I think
that'll be great. And then it'll be wound up with Nathan French, who's also a minister. He's going
to be talking about a new beginning for our nation in so many different ways.
So this is going to be a fabulous, fabulous conference.
Nobody should miss it.
We've put the ticket prices way down, so they're very affordable.
We want people to hear these folks.
All right, very good.
Hey, Holly, look forward to the event here, and we'll talk soon, all right?
Be well.
Thanks, Bill. All right. I think we have Ed's here. Hello, Ed. Good morning. holly look forward to uh to the event here and we'll talk soon all right be well thanks bill
all right i think we have ed's here hello ed good morning good morning bill how are you i'm fine ed
what's on your mind well a lot of things bill but it uh in listening to the conversations this
morning um i look at this gold card or whatever, golden card or however you look at it.
But the reality, what it comes down to is what America is faced with is a lapse in a direction
that has squashed the idea of America, which is freedom.
And a lot of it is an example here in Oregon by the environmental left restricting, restricting, restricting.
Well, everything about the environmental is essentially a control and limit on our activity, on all of our activity, really.
What it has equated to is a generational ignorance of what freedom is about.
So tapping a pool of people to come in, and part of that, I believe that you explained,
was that they want to bring people that will build businesses in here, okay? That businesses then
create employment. The businesses then create additional tax revenue to help pay down the debt.
And that's actually, to me, a good move because we have to replace that generational ignorance.
And the example of that goes back to Obama with all of the things they did. I remember watching
Rahm Emanuel, who was one of his cabinet members, get on TV and say, I wouldn't want to be a 50 to
60 year old white male in America right now. Well, that indicated that they were at war.
With 50 to 60 year old white males. And the system has continued to be
at war with that. And that is part of this whole thing. And it goes all the way into Oregon,
you know, example by this fire mapping thing, this intrusion into property rights, this just
complete disregard for the protections in the constitution that they're required to to adhere to
regarding property rights and all of these things we have to start uh re-inspiring our young people
to build the economy build business and build employment and make it solid they also have to
though feel like there's an ability for them to do that though that's exactly right and right
and right now i can understand that i can understand a gen z are looking at the landscape
right now and especially the regulatory framework in in oregon and figuring out boy i'm being told
everywhere i look why i shouldn't do something or why i'm not allowed to do something and why I can't do something rather than what I can do right now or even why I should.
Not only that, Bill, but there's a socially imposed guilt about doing something because you're harming the environment.
And this is the thing.
This is what's going on with it.
It's a generational ignorance that we have to overcome so i guess
the bottom line here is that as crass as it sounds to essentially bring people in for five million
dollars and it does sound crass it's kind of like a carnival barker kind of approach to immigration
in some ways you're bringing in people that don't have that pre-inculcated ignorance, which the current American population in many cases has.
Is that it?
That's exactly that's exactly all right, Bill.
And, you know, you have a group of people that you're bringing in that are not indoctrinated to believe these things that are literally in opposition to the American dream.
And maybe we can restart what should be there, the example of freedom that we always were.
I love that. That's a great take. Ed, I'm giving you a real American salute.
I think you got to the core of that, okay? All right. Thank you, Ed.
Let me grab one more call.
I've got to do this quickly.
I've run behind you know me.
I'm never disciplined enough to be able to get to a news break or anything on time.
That's just me.
But anyway, hi, who's this?
Good morning.
Hello.
Bill, this is Michael Shaw.
Hey, Michael.
How are you?
I'm great.
So two things this morning.
One is on this gold card we're not the first
country to think of this or do it i believe it was new zealand after years for a million dollars
you could then uh immigrate over there yeah and of course you'd have to be insane to go to new
zealand because you want to talk about one of the uh the most tyrannical so-called democracies
that boy they're bad they even right covet showed their way so this concept of five million dollars
coming in is not new anywhere across the planet it's been done before so people who are blasting
and saying oh it's so elitist and such. Well, don't you sort of want upper-crust, capable individuals immigrating versus those who are going to just be sucking on the teeth of the federal government?
Very true.
And the other way to look at this is that I will take something that I've agreed with for a long time.
I have never gotten a good wage from a poor person.
I just never gotten a good wage from a poor person. I just never did.
Everybody I ever cashed a paycheck from had quite a bit more money in capital than me at this point,
and God bless them for that.
Not that I wouldn't have minded a higher percentage of their capital, but you know.
So my second thing isn't conspiracy theory.
It's actually conspiracy fact. I have no idea how I got on the media blast list for The Economist, but I get these things coming across my phone every morning.
And I've determined that The Economist is further left than MSNBC and CNN combined.
Oh, it is. It is.
Absolutely trumpeting individuals there.
And I think, if I looked it up correctly, I think The Economist is actually owned by a company out of England.
The other company that is similar to this is Bloomberg.
If you ever look at the Bloomberg blasts which come in, wow.
No, and I don't care to. It's just amazing how a media outlet called The Economist doesn't talk about the economy,
but they just take every message that they can to try to undermine our sitting president.
Well, think about it, though the uh has been the current model of
american economy unfortunately it's how close can you get to the politicians and how much grift
can you get in the grand stream funding process whether it's usa id or through the department
of transportation the green news scam all the rest of. And so they're looking at this as a risk to the economy, as they see it, Michael, right?
Yeah, but if they would talk about the economy in any of these articles,
it'd probably be interesting, but it is just total trompeting all the way through,
and it's just bizarre.
Yeah, I appreciate your take as always.
Thank you for that.
7705633, Open Phones, Conspiracy Theory Thursday.
We're also going to be talking about emergency radio communication here.
Steve Porter and Kimber are joining me at 810.
We're going to dig into that.
We talked about this a number of months ago.
But also a discussion on the ready radios.
You hear Hannity and other people talking about the ready radios.
I think that they're, well, I think they're overselling them a bit.
But we'll talk about that and more on what to do.

From the KMED News Center, here's what's going on.
A wanted man from Oregon found hiding out in Cambodia
is now in the Josephine County Jail.
Authorities in Josephine County had been searching for Sean Higby since 2019.
He was wanted for sex crimes.
They learned he'd been living in Cambodia.
U.S. Marshals helped take him into custody.
He was extradited to San Francisco this week.
Josephine County deputies picked him up and brought him back to Grants Pass, where he awaits trial.
The Medford Police Department has launched a new Facebook page to share information and raise awareness about missing persons.
The department says the page is going to be monitored during work hours by an investigator who's solely responsible for missing
persons cases. Oregon's DMV has resumed its motor voter program following an investigation
into improper voter registrations. Last year officials found 1,600 people incorrectly
registered. To prevent future mistakes DMV hired special managers to review all files and change
the computer system. Bill London, KMED.

Joel here at Butler Ford and Truck Center.
And you know how I spell transparency?
I-N-V-O-I-C-E.
Invoice.
As in how we now post the invoice on every single new Ford every day.
While other dealers only show you the suggested retail price and make you negotiate for a discount,
at Butler Ford, you'll see the posted invoice right away. And we'll talk about a price that's fair to both of us. Let's face it, we're
all busy. Let's use transparency, aka invoice, to make the car deal go faster. Come on down to
Butler Ford, walk the lot, and see the invoices posted on all the vehicles. That's my F-150
Super Duty's escapes. Yeah, the invoices are posted. Broncos and Rangers, Explorers and Expeditions,
even Mustangs and Mach-Es.
Invoices posted.
It's not just a better way to buy, it's a more friendly and magnanimous experience.
And you know how to spell magnanimous?
Yeah, me either.
Come see us at Butler Ford and Truck Center just 12 short minutes down the freeway in Ashland,
off of Exit 19, where you already know.
We've got your truck, your SUV, your certified pre-owned, and all invoices posted on our new cars.

Joel's hanging out in the Iron Gate. Joel, you called yesterday because the transmission line
blew off your 1991 Dodge Dakota truck,
and I guess you're in a world of hurt right now, right?
Yeah, well, yeah,
because we're out here 13 miles from any civilization.
So you're not able to just take Siskiyou County Transit
from the Iron Gate into Wairika.
Got to get to the Klamathon Bridge.
Yeah.
On the topic of the day, I think $2 million gives you a bronze star,
$5 million gets you a silver, $2 million gets you a gold,
and $25 million gets you a platinum.
What do you get then as a visa admittee with $25 million? What kind of privileges, extra what do you get then as a uh as a visa admittee with uh 25 million what
what kind of privileges extra privileges do you get if you get that you get a tax break for your
business big time oh okay so it's almost it's almost like pre-paying your income tax for a
little bit yeah all right hey by the way way, did you get your transmission line fixed?
Well, I just got supplies.
I got waiting for a ride to go down and work on it.
Oh, good.
Well, best of luck on that one. Now, you said you had a friend that had another Dodge Dakota, had the same problem, right?
Yeah, it was one of his customers.
And he fixed it, and then five months, whatever, a couple months later, it blew off again.
Oh.
Well, you know what you might consider, since this is a transmission cooler issue you're talking about, right?
So it's connecting into the radiator, right?
Yes.
You know what you probably ought to do is just get an external auxiliary transmission cooler and bypass the radiator entirely.
That's what someone else told me.
Oh, good, good.
I think that's pretty good advice, all right?
So there may be kind of like, after 30-something years, something's going to be going wrong with it anyway.
It's just like even with me and that 82 Vanagon of mine it's uh you have these old cars that you can work on them and fix
on them but you're going to have to work and fix on them because they're 30 40 years old right
just the way it is all right there's you're just not putting gas in it putting gas and oil and
driving okay hey good luck on that 7705633 okay now some good news here. Yesterday, Kevin Starrett and I were talking about House Bill 2640. This was the bill that would make it legal. Remember the one we were talking about that would make it legal to steal stuff you needed, steal condoms't have to show up for jail if you were busted, or for court, rather, if you were busted.
And I got a text message there from State Representative Kim Walden of Medford and says,
Bill, I heard from several people yesterday about House Bill 2640 because you were talking about it.
I found out last night the sponsor is pulling the bill.
So this bill has gone away folks all right
no doubt though that bill was pulled because a lot of people were calling up and saying
what kind of stupidity is this and i think that uh the the person was it manning i think who came
up with this bill i forget or was manning the one on the
uh the militia trying to change the uh the meaning of the state militia you know that kind of thing
but anyway uh kim continues of course things change fast around here but i even heard from
several democrat leaders that there is no appetite to move that bill forward just wanted to let you
get that information out there so all right so this idea
that we're going to uh to decriminalize all sorts of crime essentially what they were trying to do
what this person was trying to do in the state legislature was turn us into san francisco in
which everybody would steal up to 950 dollars worth of stuff from the walgreens if it was still
open you know at that time and you knew that they couldn't do anything. Oh, well, you know, you actually need this food,
so you're able to steal it.
I mean, it just would have destroyed the –
it would have destroyed what's left of retail.
Just insane.
It would have been the mom and pops who would have been hurt by this too,
especially.
I mean, everybody's hurt by it.
Everybody's hurt by it.
But, you know, Target, as an example example probably has the cash flow or walmart has the
cash flow to be able to put stuff behind the locked cabinets but um you know mom and pop
stores might not right doesn't scale for them anyway but still some pretty good news there
770-5633 honey we're out of water again did you call clouser drilling to discuss a replacement
well not yet i just talked to a company who said they'll beat anybody's price no matter what no way Honey, we're out of water again. Did you call Clouser Drilling to discuss a replacement well? Not yet.

Honestly, provocative talk radio on the Lars Larson Show.
You gotta give it to the Democrats.
They've absolutely lost their minds when it comes to Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is cutting the size of government.
That's popular with Americans broadly.
He's also closing the border.
That's also popular with Americans.
He's deporting millions of illegal aliens,
and that turns out to be overwhelmingly popular.
So what do the Democrats do? Lars, catch him live to three on news talk 1063 kmed this is news talk 1063 kmed and

Francine says, on the Epstein files, considering the level of the clientele,
do you think there is any way Pam Bondi will be given files
that have not been highly redacted?
That's a very good question.
I can't say.
I can't say, but I guess we'll find out.
We'll find out if the files are out there and all of a sudden you see big black markers through them there, Francine.
We'll see about that.
Dale, of course, I already read Dale's Medford one about the golden card, but thank you for that, Dale.
Bruce, on the UFO guest that I had yesterday, Danny Sheehan, the attorney that is coming to Southern Oregon on the 13th of March.
Okay? Bill, because
of the... Bruce, by the
way, is in Northwest Michigan listening.
Because of the use of prayer-like
efforts such as astral projection, the
advancement of UFO theory can be likened
to that of religious doctrine.
Teaching seminars and talks by
educated, articulate men makes more
plausible the ideas of visitations
by sentient, more intelligent beings from other places in the universe.
We are repeatedly warned in the New Testament about false teachers and deceivers,
leading people astray in the last days before the return of Christ.
This is being done on a mass scale by well-meaning people,
the theory itself being an evolutionary construct.
That false worldview is also being reinforced since we find our culture now two generations removed from a biblical worldview.
Listeners are more open than ever to this kind of errant teaching due to the lack of a foundation of truth.
Only one of two boxes on this UFO notion can be checked, true or false.
Beware, my friends, dark forces forces also known as satan are behind this
in my opinion misleading many that's kind of where uh elie marzulli was coming from bruce
but he says the thing is i think the thing is though uh elie marzulli was saying that it's
there but he thinks it's actually uh a demonic uh take on that all right that was that was his
point of view on it uh let me see here. That's right,
Janice from Rogue River writes me this morning, Bill, I listened with intense interest to your
show the morning with the man talking about the new paradigm information in UFOs. This prompted
me to write you to let you know about a very good resource regarding the same subject. Just go to
YouTube, type in Strange Normal with Bradley Burnham. He presents from a biblical perspective
and with very credible sources.
Thanks very much for your show.
You cover a wide range of pertinent topics important to our daily lives,
such as FireMap, et cetera.
This is the first time I've contacted you, and we'll keep listening.
Also, I've gone to your website, the KMED website, but nothing comes through.
Do you know what the problem is?
Sure.
Janice, when you go to the KMED.com website,
if you're looking at it on a phone or a mobile device or something,
you have to just choose where you want to go.

It's not all sitting there on the front page.
I think that may be what is going on.
Okay?
All right.
Let me grab one quick call before news, and then we're going to talk emergency radios.
Hi. Good morning.
Who's this?
Welcome.
This is Terry in Central Point.
Hi, Terry.
What's on your mind?
You were talking yesterday about, was it Ely Paradigm?
The new, gosh, I just forgot the name of it myself.
Hang on here just a second.
On March 12th
it was supposed to be a show a free show at the varsity oh oh yeah that is um it is a free showing
of disclosure the documentary disclosure and that was by uh mr fox i forget his name i talked to him
a number of months ago when he did that documentary. But the new ParadigmInstitute.org is where all the information is
about all those things going on that week,
including their event at SOU on the 13th.
Okay?
Yeah, I was wanting to get tickets to go to that.
Yeah, but you have to get signed up for it.
Okay?
So it's L-O-L-U-O?
No, Nu, N-E-W.
Oh, N-E-W.
Yeah, nueparadigminstitute.org.
Okay?
Okay, thank you.
All right.
You're welcome.
All right.
Yeah, I guess.
I'm, you know, and I've talked about this before.
I don't doubt that there's stuff going on and that there are people or entities visiting.
Okay, I'm just looking at this as the odds within the universe kind of thing.
You know, billions and billions of galaxies.
And, you know, at some point, someone's probably able to visit us.
I don't have any doubt about that, ultimately.
I don't know why they want to, but, you know, there we are.
My issue about the government being really interested in it all of a sudden,
just kind of, I can't imagine the government wants to be disclosing all of this without having a plan to even tighten control further.
And I know that may sound weird to you. I don't know.
I just know government wants to do anything that ever would tend to reduce confidence in the authority or make you even think that there could be anything
else going on out there i don't know i i'm still looking at this as ultimate us versus them
we've needed a new enemy haven't we needed a new enemy right the military industrial complex has
had a tough time of it for a lot of years because, gosh, you know, we got rid of the Soviets, and then we kind of got back to the Russians again.
But, oh, then it was Islam in the Middle East.
And so, well, this would be like the ultimate military-industrial complex dream come true, wouldn't it?
I couldn't help but think that.
But that's my cynicism when it comes to the federal government.
We'll see.
We'll see about that.
By the way, the email bill at BillMeyerShow.com.
Town Hall News, we'll catch up on the rest of the legit stuff,
and then we're going to be digging into legit emergency communications, okay?
