Find out more about them at Klausurrilling.com. Now more with Bill Meyer. Peter Schweitzer is a number one New York Times bestselling investigative journalist president of the government accountability Institute. Has an incredible book. Bought a copy of it the other day. In fact, it debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller.
Starting point is 00:00:30 list. And after my purchase, I think it's even oneer. It's the invisible coup, how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. It is a pleasure having you back on, Peter. Welcome. Hi. Great to be with you. Thanks for having me, Bill. Boy, you know, we're told, Peter, that, that essentially the reason why we have so many illegal immigrants in the United States of America is because, well, gosh, we're a magnet. We have jobs, and people are, well, you know, just like the, you know, the old home, give us your tired, you're hungry. And we're, and we're, and we're, you're, and we're, here to take each and every one of them in there. You're not supposed to ask about it. What is the truth, as you've seen, the more that you have dug into the organizations and people
Starting point is 00:01:10 who have been, that you claim, are driving this for real? What say you? Well, you know, look, yeah, there are people that come here for those reasons, but there are also people overseas and in the United States who see immigration as a weapon, a tool to advance their political interests in the United States. And what I do in the book, Bill, is it's not me just speculating on this. I actually quote from people saying this. Let me just read really briefly an example of a quote of how Mexico views mass migration to the United States. This is a quote from a Mexican Senator Felix Salgado.
Starting point is 00:01:47 He's a member of the Morena Party, which is a ruling party. He sits on the National Defense Committee, which is the most powerful committee in Mexico. He said just a couple of years ago, quote, Mexicans are in our territory. California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Wyoming, we're going to take back the territory that was stolen from us. So this is part of the Reconquista movement then, essentially, was what you're saying. Yes, and, Bill, you hear that, and you think, well, this is kind of crazy. I mean, what's he talking about?
Starting point is 00:02:20 And then you realize there are all these people in Mexican leadership positions, president of Mexico, top aides, top feature and culture, saying the same thing. and you look at the actual networks that the Mexican government has established inside the United States, and you realize, okay, there is something to this. Do they literally think that, you know, California, Nevada are going to become part of Mexico? I don't know, but what they have done is set up a network to exert sovereign control in some respect over parts of the United States. They have, for example, I think it surprises a lot of people. They have actually, at least a dozen Mexican elected officials who live inside the United States. These are senators
Starting point is 00:03:05 and members of the Mexican Congress whose job is to represent Mexicans here before their federal government. And these elected officials are organizing anti-ice protests. They are getting involved in American political elections. And you have a network of 53 consulates that are doing the same thing. So we need to start looking at immigration, not through the prism of what it was a hundred years ago or how we like to view it. We need to understand it the way that people like Mexico, China, the Muslim Brotherhood, and progressive activists in the United States view, which is very, very different. I'm glad you brought up the, how Muslims tend to view this too, because I remember reading about in Texas, once again, you know, down on the border, relatively
Starting point is 00:03:53 porous border, not quite as porous now, but about the Sharia towns that are being created. In other words, we're just kind of taking over the United States from within. And this is kind of another example of what you're talking about, how immigration being weaponized of sorts. Yeah, no, that's exactly right. And what their really goal is to use mass immigration in a way to transform a movement. America. Again, that's the statements that they use consistently in how they describe mass immigration. And the goal, again, is not for people to come to the United States, assimilate, adopt American values.
Starting point is 00:04:37 They are using mass migration as they need to subvert the country. So, you know, again, Bill, if I may, let me just give you two brief quotes. This gives your perspective of how radical Islamists view this. The first is from the Director of Care, Florida. Care is the Council on American Islamic. relations. It's a, I would argue, radical Islamist group. And this is what their director said in the speech in 2025. Have we asked ourselves this question? Why are we living in the United States? The only answer, I believe, is excusable and justifiable is that we are living here to shift this country's political and spiritual direction together, engaging in spreading Islam. Or another quote from a gentleman who's on the board of directors of care again in 2025,
Starting point is 00:05:23 quote, ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions of this country. We can only be citizens in the sense that we try to influence American policy. So this is not come to America, retain your traditions, but embrace American values. This has come to the United States. Don't assimilate. Reject those values. We can never become part of this country. and yet we are going to try to influence and steer the country in the direction that we want it to go.
Starting point is 00:05:58 But, Peter, are we racist or bigots for noticing this? No, I think we're noticing it because they're telling it to us. I mean, one of the most startling things in the book, I would argue, is this is them saying it. This is not me speculating. This is me, not me engaging in any name-calling. I quote from officials explaining precisely what they are doing and why they are doing it. And I think we really do a disrespect to people when we dismiss what they are telling us. And we say, oh, no, no, they don't really mean it.
Starting point is 00:06:33 That, to me, is highly insulting. I think we owe it to these Mexican officials, their statements from Chinese officials, Muslim brotherhood leaders. We owe them the respect of taking them at their word and believing us when they are saying amongst themselves what their goal and strategies is with mass migration. Peter Schweitzer, number one book, The Invisible Coup, How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon. I wanted to touch and redirect the focus here, Peter, on the elected leaders that we have in our various blue hive mine states out here on the West Coast in Oregon. Just today, I was talking about how bipartisan bill, bipartisan bill making it actually getting ready to punish landlords if they end up leaking to ICE or anybody.
Starting point is 00:07:22 else the immigration status of somebody who is not supposed to be here, but yet in the state of Oregon. And can you find any NGOs or nefarious, you know, kind of connections, these various other groups that you talk about in the book here, that push for these kinds of laws and protection, because it's about essentially bringing your enemy within and not being able to do anything about it? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, if you look at the Washington, we had in Los Angeles in 2025, the riots earlier this year in Minneapolis. What is being missed, amidst all the video coverage of, you know, sort of the middle-aged, you know, white people blowing their whistles, you know, and complaining about this is the role that
Starting point is 00:08:10 certain international organizations or foreign governments are having and organizing these efforts. So, you know, I mentioned earlier in the conversation, you have Mexican officials living in the United States. One of those is a guy named Alejandro Robles. He serves in the Mexican Congress, but he lives in Ontario, California. And he went across the United States in 2025, in his own words, to, quote, organize the militancy inside the United States. He met with Antifa groups. He met with other nonprofit organizations. And the goal was, how are we going to undermine Trump? How are we going to prevent ICE from doing their job? How are we going to fight against these immigration policies that, by the way, the American people actually voted for? If you look at some of the groups that
Starting point is 00:09:01 have been ground zero in Portland, Oregon, in Minneapolis, in Los Angeles, these are groups like PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization. These are radical fringe groups. They're not very large. But what they do, do is they go to, you know, normal protests and they start throwing rocks and they start provoking a fight and violence because they want to provoke a conflict. Both of these groups are tied to the Chinese Communist Party. They have sworn allegiance to them. They are fraternal parties, which means they have a special status in China. They adhere to China's views. And China tracks their movements and reports on their activities inside China.
Starting point is 00:09:48 to report to CCP officials, this is what these groups are doing. So these are organized efforts. They're not organic. And the fundamental question we have to ask ourselves is like ICE, don't like ICE, agree with federal immigration laws or don't. The question is, these are laws on the books. We had a presidential election where Donald Trump was quite clear what he was going to do on immigration.
Starting point is 00:10:13 The question becomes, can the federal government actually enforce laws that people, have voted for? Or are we going to allow a small, violent group of people to intimidate us from enforcing those federal laws? My view is, if you don't like ICE, that can certainly be your view, but then win an election and change some laws. But we cannot have a situation where states or municipalities decide, well, we don't like that federal law. We're going to ignore it. The last time we have that was in the 1950s in the deep south with segregation. When we had desegregation and segregationists that we don't support that so we're not going to do it. We're at that same state today.
Starting point is 00:10:55 And that is a major problem for our country. Peter Schweitzer here once again, and it is a number one book, and is well worth it. The Invisible Coup, How American Elites and Foreign Powers use immigration as a weapon. I was disappointed when President Trump ended up lifting the boot off of Minneapolis, and yet it appears that there are some political calculations going on in here. here, how would you evaluate the Trump administration's focus on the illegal immigration, and are they focusing on the right things? Or are they, you know, looking for the low-hanging fruit, let's say, you know, the people in the hotels and things like that, but they're not
Starting point is 00:11:32 seeing the Chinese billionaires, you know, infiltrating and building families. They're not noticing the NGOs to the same extent. How would you evaluate what's really been going on with Homeland Security in this here, Peter? Well, that's a great question, Bill. I mean, always bureaucracies are going to go for the low-hanging fruit, right, to show the quick results. I actually had a meeting the week before the book came out. I met with the president in the Oval Office for 55 minutes. He also had the Treasury Secretary Bessence and Secretary St. Marco Rubio there for the meeting. And my suggestion to them was, you know, make the calculation to do what you feel like needs to be done.
Starting point is 00:12:11 But what we really need to do is go after these political networks that foreign adversaries have. up in the United States. Why Mexico has 53 consulates in the United States when Great Britain has six and China has seven, why we allow them to have a network that is literally interfering in our election. I mean, I have transcripts of meetings in Mexican consulates involving Mexican diplomats where they were talking about how are they going to turn states from red to blue. That is not an appropriate role for diplomats. So I think that they need to start going after these political networks that are engaging in, frankly, subversive activity in the United States, organizing the militancy, as I said earlier. And I think we need to continue to deal with the issue of deportations aggressively.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Donald Trump is actually behind where Barack Obama was in terms of the number of deportations that has taken place. You know, you wouldn't think that, Peter, you know, given all of the noise, huh? Yeah, yeah, no, progressives regard to Barack Obama as the deporter-in-chief. That was his nickname, and that title was earned. But, yeah, it's become now this sort of hysterical partisan issue, and what Democrats have realized is that it is key and fundamental to their political base. They need mass migration inside the United States, even if people, aren't becoming citizens, even if people aren't illegally voting, the way that we calculate
Starting point is 00:13:48 congressional districts in America, which state gets how many? It's just the bodies. It's just the bodies. Yeah, exactly. You don't count citizens. You count who's present. In the state of California alone, the estimates are California has between four and seven more congressional districts than they would if illegals were not present in that state, to just put that in perspective, those four congressional seats that illegals provide to the state of California, larger congressional delegation than 13 states in the United States. So this is central to political power. Minneapolis and Minnesota is in a similar circumstance.
Starting point is 00:14:29 They need immigrants. That's why you are seeing local elected officials so aggressively fighting and resisting deportations. It's not out of humanitarian concern. and I hate to break it to people. It's about raw political power. Is this winnable in your view, this challenge that you have detailed out in your book? I think it is. I think it is because if we are aware of what's going on and we take the proper steps,
Starting point is 00:14:58 I mean, I'll give you an example where I think we have a real possibility to fix the problem. China has been on an industrial scale exploiting birthright citizenship. This notion that if your mother is in the United States and gives birth, you are automatically granted U.S. citizenship. China has a massive industry called birth tourism, where they arrange for you to come to the United States, give birth to your child. As soon as your child is born, they're a U.S. citizen. As soon as they're able to travel, they fly back to China. The child is raised in China, but they're going to be a U.S. citizen.
Starting point is 00:15:33 They are a U.S. citizen. And when they turn 18, they can vote from China. And the numbers we are talking about are massive. The Chinese government has researched this because we in the United States don't keep crack of these statistics. Chinese government believes on average over the last 13 years, every single year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States or on U.S. territories like Saipan. So that means we've got a million, quote-unquote, U.S. citizens being raised in China right now who are going to be able to vote in our elections. very few people, if anybody in Washington, was aware of this. If I briefed the White House, I briefed Capitol Hill, they are now aware of it,
Starting point is 00:16:14 is now being incorporated into the arguments that the government is going to make before the Supreme Court on birthright citizenship. Yeah, that's a big one. It's a crucial, crucial decision. That's a big one. Hey, Peter, how long is my window here? I just want to make sure I don't over a stay here. I've got another 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Okay, great. Do you mind if I take a call or two from people who want to talk to you? Is that cool with you? Sure, that's fine. All right. That's fine. Peter Schweitzer with me, and it's the invisible coup, how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Hello, caller. You're with Peter Schweitzer. Go ahead and make good use of the time. Question or comment. Go ahead. Yeah, Peter. Thank you. Can you please address also what's going on here in Oregon, United States, that they want to
Starting point is 00:17:00 return a lot of the land, get it back to the indigenous people here, the Indian groups, add to reservations in our casino lands. They want to add a lot of the Forest Service back to the Native Americans. Do you know anything about that? Interesting. Maybe it's all connected, Peter? Well, I don't know specifically about the case in Oregon, but yeah, this has been a push by the progressive left. The Mexican government pushes this as well, this notion of stolen land. In fact, the president of the Mexican Senate, pretty powerful person in Mexico, says that Los Angeles is occupied territory, that it actually belongs to Mexico, which is, frankly,
Starting point is 00:17:43 absurd for a number of historical reasons. But the bottom line is that nobody can ever really define indigenous, because territory and land has always been subject to dispute, people migrated, people fought over land. And that's the inherent problem, I think, with this argument of original ownership, because, of course, these ancient civilizations didn't have a concept. of land ownership. So it's again a view and a means by which to dilute the United States and undermine the United States. My view is we have an open and free society. It's not perfect, but it's certainly better than those ancient civilizations were. It's certainly better than any other on the face of the planet. And there is plenty of opportunity here, and we ought to be focused on that rather
Starting point is 00:18:30 than, you know, some sort of historical dispute that they think is going to render or undermine the United States in some fundamental way. Peter, a concern in the back of my brain before I grab another call is that I'm concerned that an open and free society doesn't have the guts needed to do what's needed to be done about such an invasion. Yeah, well, I mean, that's really going to be a test for us. And I think that begins with awareness of what is going on. The problem with the free and open society is, you know, most Americans on any given day,
Starting point is 00:19:09 obviously, their exceptions, are going to encounter people that generally speaking are open-minded, who are kind, who are going to obey the law, who are going to operate above Ford in generally a transparent way. The problem is that's not the way that most of the world operates. That's not the way that China views the world, Mexico, the Muslim Brotherhood does. and that's certainly not the way that these progressive groups who are pushing and encouraging mass migration, because they say that their goal, again, I quote them in the book, they say that their goal with mass migration is to transform the United States. In other words, these migrants are a tool and a means by which they can achieve a political land.
Starting point is 00:19:50 So it begins with awareness, and then it becomes with having the courage to say, do we want to protect what we have? What we have is unique. not the normal order of life for the vast expanse of human history, for the vast expanse of the globe. So do we want to protect what we have? That's the fundamental question. I think if we embrace that, people will rise up and defend the country. As you well know, though, demography is destiny. People have said that. And it's true, you know, you bring enough of the third world in, and the third world reproduces, you will get more of the third world here. I'm talking with Peter
Starting point is 00:20:26 Schweitzer once again, and hello caller. You're on with Peter. and make a good point or a question. Go ahead. Yeah, Bill, this, Lucretia. Quick point, Lucretia. Yeah, just, you know, there's people that are called conspiracy theorists, but I'm looking at the DC-D-C report written from 2006 to 2006 is the highest British and naval intelligence, and they said that Mexicans would be coming into the country.
Starting point is 00:20:51 We've obviously brought the men, gave all sorts of incentives, and then everything else, and free health care-free, you know, the birthing. Yeah, we get it. What's your question, though? I have very limited time. Okay. The highest British and naval intelligence saying they're going to be coming in in 2005, before we even realized there was an invasion or all the six are money. What's your question? Well, how do we stop it when we've got the British and naval intelligence saying they're going to rise up and take back America? I'm saying it's planned from the inside, just like the takeover by communism.
Starting point is 00:21:24 You know, the Joe Scousen's cousin Leon Scalston said they're going to be a, invading America and we're going to go communists. All right. Well, let's let's let him take a swipe at that. Thank you, Lucretia. What do you say, Peter? Yeah, there's no question that there are people in the United States that share these views about Mexico's ambition in the United States. One of the reasons that AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-C is on the cover of the book, is that she shares this view that illegals cannot be removed from the United States because this is their land. It's not our land. Once you start to
Starting point is 00:21:58 acknowledge or argue that the sovereignty of our government is limited because of some cockamamie idea that you have, you now have a situation where you cannot enforce federal law. And that's what you're seeing with these so-called sanctuary movements. I talk about the sanctuary movement in the book. The sanctuary movements are not ultimately about helping and protecting migrants. They are about protecting certain types of migrants. Migrants that are involved in tied to radical organizations. And again, I quote, one of the founders of the sanctuary city movement in the 1980s who said, look, this is about revolution. This is about protecting radicals that are coming to the United States. It's not about protecting all immigrants. And that's again what we need to
Starting point is 00:22:43 understand. Peter, is the great replacement a theory in your view or just a theory? In the introduction, I reject it and argue that it's wrong. Part of it is if you look at the history of it. The theory really comes from a French name Camus, who is a self-avowed Marxist, and he provides Marxist analysis. So his complaint is that the problem here is with capitalism. And if we get rid of capitalism, there won't be this insatiable appetite for cheap labor. Is there an appetite for cheap labor in some industries? Absolutely. I don't think that is what is driving this invasion that we are seeing. It's much more. political, and it's really being driven by progressives and Marxists who see it as a means of
Starting point is 00:23:31 transformation. So for me, great replacement theory. I understand why people might have an interest in it, but I think it is flawed in its foundation. With AI kicking so much labor to the curve here, this is even more important. You know, the idea that you have to have a whole ton of third world here in order to function in society doesn't look like it's going that way. Have you Have you considered that aspect of it, too, where the labor market's headed? Yeah, the labor market is very interesting. I'm certainly not an economist or an AI expert. But the labor market is interesting to look at.
Starting point is 00:24:06 I mean, one of the arguments is that it's going to actually displace a lot of people in sort of white-collar jobs, right? You don't need as many accountants. You don't need as middle managers. You don't need as many people in HR. That's certainly a fact that what may actually benefit are more blue-collar jobs. You know, you can't get AI to fix your plumbing or your electrical work or to do construction. So it's an interesting dynamic. I think at the root in its foundation, we have to look at immigration, not just in the context of how it affects labor or, you know, violence on our streets.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Those are important issues. We have to recognize the more fundamental, civilizational war that is taking place here. And I don't use that word lightly. That word, civilizational, is the phrase that Mexican. Mexico, that China, that the Muslim Brotherhood view, they really view that they are at war with American civilization. And this is a fundamental change that they need to make in order to succeed. And they see immigration through that prism.
Starting point is 00:25:09 And I think we need to accept that, understand that, and then deal with it effectively. I believe that legal immigration is a good thing. It can be a good thing. We have to debate what that level is. I'm the product of immigration. my parents migrated here became citizens in 1977. But what we are dealing with today is weaponized immigration. We need to deal with that first before we can have the bigger conversation about what level of legal immigration we want to have.
Starting point is 00:25:35 You have to get a copy of it, the invisible coup, how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. And my hope, though, is that American society can actually defend itself because my opinion over the last 20 to 30 years is that we are not defending ourselves about it. sometimes I think or are self-loathing about any desire to defend it. It's the invisible coup.com. You can find out more about the book. Peter, I know you have other people to talk to, but thanks for taking a few minutes this morning here. Okay?
Starting point is 00:26:04 Be well. Always great to be with you. Thanks for having me. Peter Schweitzer. It is 837, and you're on KMED in 993, KBXG. If you're a business owner, you know time is money. As a business owner myself, 1772Sold.com.
Starting point is 00:26:18 This hour of the Bill Myers Show is sponsored by Fontana Roofing. For roofing gutters and sheet metal services, visit fontana roofing services.com. And this portion of the programs, of course, is open for business sponsored by Randall Lee over at myadvancedair.com. How you doing, Randall? Welcome back. Good morning, Bill. You have an incredible deal going on right now on financing for residential replacement systems. And this is going on right, well, for the rest of this month, right?
Starting point is 00:26:46 Yeah, absolutely. Zero percent financing for 60 months on replacement HVC systems. get ready for summer. Hotter weather's coming. Yeah, we didn't really get much of winter, though, did we? Not a whole lot of winter compared to other years. No, winter's been pretty mild. We're moving into plan maintenance calls right now,
Starting point is 00:27:05 so we're getting people ready for summer, starting to think about the cooling side of things because, man, in another month or so, guaranteed we'll be pushing some 80-degree days. And you know what's going to happen? Somebody turns on their HVAC. They didn't use it much over the winter, and then they're just going to put it on,
Starting point is 00:27:20 and then all of a sudden, here comes the exploding compressor, and then Randall and the crew show up, right? And, you know, as we start to get over 70 degrees, 75 degrees, turn on your AC. Once you're above the desired indoor temperature, you can run your outdoor unit at a marginal rate and make sure that it's running. It's kind of a soft start. And it's a good way to acclimate your equipment
Starting point is 00:27:50 and step it into the summer rather than waiting for that, you know, 95-degree weather and say, okay, I'm going to take the edge off now, and then it just breaks down. That's where a lot of problems happen. And to your point, though, preventative maintenance, very important. And you have something which is called the Comfort Club in which people can call you up. By the way, Randall's number, by the way, is 772-6-8-66. You call them up, and you join the Comfort Club. Not only are you given like first shot when things go to heck in a handbasket.
Starting point is 00:28:20 right and you'll get the first choice or first pick on who gets fixed first you know that kind of thing but it keeps up the maintenance and keeps small problems from becoming big and you were talking in in some notes here about what happened with one of your clients i guess uh you put a you had to put a system or you put a system in for them what six eight years back but they didn't maintain anything right what happened over time didn't yeah didn't change the filters for about seven years oh my gosh We had offered plan maintenance. No, we don't need to do that. We change our own filters.
Starting point is 00:28:53 It was a commercial account. In the meantime, you know, the property manager, he, the maintenance supervisor, you know, that position had rolled over a couple of times. And so people just stopped changing filters. And it ended up doing over $25,000 in damages on that HVAC system. Changing your filters is the single most important thing you can do for your system. and wash, you know, many splits have become far more mainstream. Those are like the high wall air handlers that are, you know, ductless systems, right? They have washable filters on that indoor high wall head.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Usually there's a little flap door on the top. You can pull those out, rinse them off, let them dry. How bad a lot of people don't know that, though, Randall? I bet they never look at that. They just don't. They don't. And then what happens is it restricts air and then it can't condensate and then you've got water running down the wall.
Starting point is 00:29:47 And, you know, my air conditioner is broken. Well, it's deferred. It's neglect. It's deferred maintenance. And so, yeah, it can be catastrophic. Yeah, for sure. Now, you're... We can catch those things with plan maintenance.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Exactly. Now, your crew came out and looked at our places here, or our HVACs or heat pumps, actually, we have in the back that work on our rack rooms and various other things. And it was really great because they were talking about, hey, you know, you're out here by the dirt. You got to watch it because these coils are going to call. clog up and it's fine in the winter. It actually helps it a little bit in the wintertime. But when the summertime comes, man, you're going to have to blast this dirt out of there. You're going to have some big problems. Those are the kind of things that we regular folks, we see that it doesn't mean anything to us. It's like, okay, it's a little dirty. The rain will come and
Starting point is 00:30:31 it'll be okay. It's not true, right? That's a great point, Bill. And, you know, the outdoor unit, the condenser outside of your home, you know, if you've got shrubbery that's growing up all around it, it's preventing air from flowing over the condens. condenser coil. So you're restricting air right off the bat. So that leads to a greater possibility of it freezing up and becoming a block of ice and then failing. So, you know, there's simple things you can do, you know, in spring cleaning. You know, you can cut back shrubbery that's around your condensers. You know, another thing, a lot of people have those condensers in dog runs, have animals around them. You know, dogs love to urinate on condensers. I have noticed that. Corrosive. Yeah, that is corrosive on the coil, and it greatly speeds up the death of your system if you have that in a dog run, just FYI.
Starting point is 00:31:30 So there's some things you can do to help get as much life out of your system as you can. The stuff has gotten more and more expensive over the years, so we want you guys to be able to get as much life out of it as possible. Well, one of the things I want to make sure people understand is that when you call up advanced Air, Myadvancedair.com, 772-6866, and you get something, and you come in and you do an estimate. You wanted to explain how estimates really work and kind of like decoding the mystery, I guess. How does it work? Yeah, sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:32:01 So, you know, there's a serviceable life expectancy of HVAC equipment. You know, generally about 12 to 15 years is the serviceable life of the equipment. It can be extended far beyond that with good maintenance. changing filters, you know, checking, you know, amp draws, things like that. And we do that on plan maintenance. If your equipment is failing, we have an obligation to restore it to manufacturer's specification. So we'll give you an estimate using OEM parts to fix it to the manufacturer's standard. Yeah, you're not going to Amazon for second rate parts.
Starting point is 00:32:41 You can't do that. Right. No. And now that's not to say that cheaper or temporary. fixes aren't possible. Sometimes they are possible in an interim, but, you know, we're obligated to give you the manufacturer's specified system. And so, you know, for example, something came up the other day where we gave somebody a price, a fan motor had gone out, and an ECM motor had gone out. And, you know, it was a variable speed. And we said, okay, well, you know, it had been fried on a
Starting point is 00:33:15 couple of speeds, and this is how much it cost to replace it. Well, somebody else was able to come in and just rewire it, so it's no longer, it's no longer modulating, right? It's no longer just single speed is on full blast the whole time. Yeah. And so, okay, well, that's, so we want our money back on your, on your diagnosis and your visit. Well, it doesn't negate the fact that, that ECM motor has failed, right? And so, we're, we're. We're obligated rather than just we can disclose that, okay, we're going to rewire it in a temporary fact. Yeah, well, what that other guy did is essentially was spit and bailing wire. It's what they did.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Yeah. That's what they did. It's kind of like, you know, going to the car and putting some duct tape on things, okay? So that stuff happens, yes. So when you're getting HVC estimates and quotes for repairs, make sure you understand what you're getting. Are you restoring the system back to the manufacturer's specifications? Or am I losing some of the capacity or some of the functionality of the system by just doing a temporary fix? Just ask some questions and you can be educated on what's happening with your system.
Starting point is 00:34:31 All right, very good. Myadvancedair.com. Before we wrap up here, I just want to make sure that we hit this high point because right now, like I said, you didn't have as many systems blowing up all the winter because winter wasn't as hard as sometimes, right? But as we're getting into the cooling season, and you got something a little long in the tooth, it's a great deal. Zero percent financing for 60 months on residential replacement systems, and that's only good. Now, they have to be installed by the end of the month or just the orders put in by the end of the month. How's that way?
Starting point is 00:34:59 Exactly. They need to be ordered by the end of the month, yeah. Okay. And the other thing that you will do, you call them up, 772-6866. Randall comes out with a crew, or Randall's crew, I should say, comes out. And it's really important to size it correctly, and why is that? I'll give you the final word on this, okay? Yeah, you know, you have air distribution, and if your sizing is inaccurate for the space,
Starting point is 00:35:25 you can damage the equipment because it's always running or it's not running enough, but, and it will short cycle, and that will prematurely, you know, kill the equipment. The harder it works, and then it shuts off, you know, all of that is relative to the sizing of the duck work. and the air distribution system. So there's a couple of components to an HVC system. One is the equipment and one is the duct delivery system. You want both of those sides adequately. There is a little bit of play, especially now,
Starting point is 00:35:59 since there's so much modulating equipment that's variable speed, it ramps up and down depending on the call. This stuff is designed to operate continuously, not to be turned off and on. That is not a bug. That is a feature. Just understand that. Yeah. That's the way it works now.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Okay. Absolutely. All right, myadvancedair.com. Get in touch, 772-686. Zero percent financing for 60 months. Still great rebates on Energy Trust of Oregon and so much more. These people will help you out. Randall, thank you so much, on Open for Business.

Hello. Hello, Kathy.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Hey, it was yesterday in history. Congress overrides the presidential veto for the very first time. They end up going after President John Tyler and his use of the presidential veto. And they overwrote it with a necessary two-thirds vote. Now, the question for you this morning is, What issue did Congress end up getting the veto override over? How did they smack the president back and forth across the face? Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Was it A on foreign tariffs? B, federal land appropriation. C, settlement of state claims. D. Military craft construction. Or was it E? Proceeds from public lands. Where the money would go.
Starting point is 00:38:03 What do you say? A, B, C, D, or E? I'll say E. You're going to say E. Where the public land would go? Wasn't that? But thank you for trying. Let me go to Calvin. Hello, Calvin. Morning.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Good morning. All right, Calvin. So it's not public lands. It's either foreign tariffs, federal land appropriation, settlement of state claims, or military craft construction. What did they override the veto with? I'm in B. You're going to say it is B, federal land, right? Yep. No. Sorry. Good try. Let me go to Ron. Hello, Ron.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Yeah. All right, Ron. So it's either A, foreign tariffs, B. state claims are D, military craft construction. I'm going to say D, military screams. Military craft construction. Yeah. Yeah. You got it.
Starting point is 00:38:53 All right. And see, all this was was that he wanted to build boats for what would later become the Coast Guard. Yeah. And he was trying to do it without the congressional approval. It was the first time in history that Congress successfully overturned a presidential veto. That was the first time that it ever happened. It took a while for 50, 60 years before they were able to say, nope, can't do it.
Starting point is 00:39:18 But you hang on and we'll be right with you, okay? And you're going to Diner-S-2 and you will enjoy it. You will. You will like it. This is Bill Meyer. And if you want to save money on your cell phone plan,
