Some of the opening news, great talk with Eileen Collins, the first woman in space to command a craft, subject of a new documentary. Your calls follow.

This hour of the Bill Meyer Show podcast is proudly sponsored by Klauser Drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for more than 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausur drilling.com. Now more with Bill Meyer. 12 minutes after six, it is conspiracy theory Thursday, 77056533-770 KMED. Actually, we're going to get pretty guest-heavy pretty quickly here in the next few minutes. Eileen Collins will be joining me. And I've never had the opportunity to talk to anybody who has been in outer space.

And so, well, she's the subject of a documentary called Space Woman. And she's the first woman to pilot and command a spaceship. And so that's pretty darn cool. Space shuttles, various other things, done all sorts of missions, 6,700 hours, you know, flight in space and various craft. So pretty darn cool. Pretty darn cool. Talk about someone who kind of broke those glass ceilings back in the day.

And so I'd like to ask her, a couple of things I'd like to ask her. I'm wondering if she did any kind of kind of sort of work or if that's part of it. Because I know she did missions or did work over to space stations and things. But, you know, kind of what is that like? What is that like to be completely sort of like out there? And what does space sound like? Does space have a feel or a sound? I don't know just one of these things.

I've never had the opportunity to talk to anyone. Of course, I know I'm going to get all sorts of emails afterwards saying this is a conspiracy. She's being paid to keep the round earth theory alive. I might just ask her if anyone's asked her to that question. Maybe that's another question. You might as well, right? How many times do I get a chance to talk to someone who's been in outer space? So we'll talk with Eileen here in the next few minutes.

Steve Bontel will join me from the John Birch Society as the Democrats are saying, hey, you know, we will be happy. We'll be happy to fund DHS. We just don't want to fund ICE. So they just want the illegal aliens here. I guess that's more important. Speaking of which they were debating the SAVE Act, extended debate begins in the Senate,

and the Democrats are completely united on it, and it's just no. And Republicans somewhat divided, like the Lisa Murkowski's of the world. And yet there are some people who have raised some issues that, well, like even I've been talking to some of the people about the SAVE Act, and we'll talk with Steve about this, but some of my concerns about how it ends up actually being implemented here.

And, you know, rather than us having to dig out our birth certificates and having to go and re-prove who we are again in order to vote, maybe there are ways that you could just actually just have the federal government comb the databases and find illegal aliens. maybe that would be, people who are non-citizens, maybe that would be the better way to do it. But then the state doesn't want the feds doing that either because, well, there is that constitution thing

about the states are supposed to be setting up the time and meaning of the elections. All that sort of good stuff. But yeah, we'll talk with Steve about that. Dr. Chati Nabham is also going to join me. And this is back on that, the protests going on down in Ashland. and what I ended up having a friend of the show ended up by emailing me and directing me to Dr. Chati Knobham. And he has written a book about glyphosate.

He wrote a book a couple of years about it. It's called Toxic Exposure, the True Story Behind the Monsanto trials in Search for Justice. And that ended up coming out a couple of years ago. But I'll ask him and see what he has to say all about that. So I'm really looking forward to the talk. Then there's the situation with the Iran War. You know, it comes right down to it. I've never believed this had anything to do with the nukes, really,

because remember back in July last year, we were told that nuclear program had effectively been destroyed. Well, Patrick Wood, the technocracy guy, put out a white paper yesterday, and I saw it, and I called him up, and I said, hey, you want to come in and talk about it. And Patrick Wood says that this war, you know, I've been saying it's been about China. In my world, it felt like it was really about China.

And what he says, what Patrick says, is that it is about trade, but it's not just about China. It's about a whole technocratic trade route running through all these areas, and you can't have the Persian Gulf or you can't have the Strait of Hormuz necking that down. You can't let that happen. I just thought it's really interesting. So I'm going to go with his theory and talk to them about it. Okay, 17 minutes after six, so I don't have a lot of time for calls this morning. Maybe I can grab one or two.

Could be minor Dave, Dave, or another is usually called early. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Welcome. Very, good morning, Bill. This is Brad. Hey, Brad, what's going on with you this morning, huh? Go ahead.

Not much. Real quick, Bill, is there not something out there that the president can do or somebody can do that with these guys at the Senate that can't get it? Homeland Security, get it taking care of, the government's not shut down? Can they're not being, they start finding these guys, you know, $200 a day? No, I don't think there is. There is a separation of power of powers here. You know, the president is to enforce the laws. It's up to the House to pass the budget.

Then the budget gets sent over to the Senate. And then the Senate would have to agree with it. And so it is the separation of powers. There is no magic wand that says the president can punish the Senate for not doing what he says, so to speak. just like the Senate can't. It just seems like if these guys who can find $200 a day, I would bet they get this thing taken care of pretty quick. Well, what, $200 a day,

fining for not funding the budget? You know, it's one thing to spend money that you don't have, but I think it's another, it's kind of, isn't it kind of weird to say, well, you're not sending money, so I'm going to fine you, don't you think? I mean, it's not a dictatorship. It is a republic, a little kind of.

well maybe not you know it's it's kind of looking a little shaky in a way it is but but we've got people out there that are not getting paychecks and stuff why should these guys that can't get along up there not saying it has to be all the republican way or all the democrat way but try to come to some kind of compromise uh and if you can't do that well then why are these guys getting paid when you know TSA members aren't getting paid uh well it's a reasonable question but there is no right to to a TSA job.

Well, that's true, but it just seems like when these people are suffering and yet they're up there and they can't get along, which is why we vote to put them up there is to get things passed and get things taken care of and it's like two kids in a sandbox. Well, what it is is that Democrats don't want ICE paid for? Republicans do. And that's the locker jam right now. And now the talk is that they might separate DHS pay from, or DHS money from ICE, money. And that is the proposal. I'll talk with Steve about that in the next few. We'll see

where it goes. Okay? All right? Thanks, Bill. All right. Appreciate the call. 19 minutes after six. The mini pet mart St. Jude Country Cairs for Kids Radio. Hi, I'm Steven with Stephen Westwell Riffin Inc. And I'm on KMED. I feel so honored right now because I get the opportunity to talk with Eileen Collins. Former astronaut retired U.S. Air Force Colonel. She retired from the Air Force in January 2005. Thousands of flight.

hours and the first woman to command a spacecraft. How are you doing, Eileen? Welcome to the program. Great to have you on. Oh, thanks. It's great to be here. Looking forward to talking with you. Now, tell me a little bit about, because there's a documentary out, which is based on your book, on your story here. It's called Spacewoman. Before I move forward, I want to find out how can people see Spacewoman? Where do you get it, you know? Probably the short answer to that is go to our website, which is spacewoman. It's the 15 cities or so that we're playing in over the next six to eight weeks around the country. And the best place to see this in the theater.

But once we're done with the theatrical release, it will be going to digital and streaming. Now, do you feel, I mean, did you feel really great about it like, hey, I'm the first woman? Or was it just being in space? What was the big turn on for it? That got you here? because I think for me, so I really started as a pilot in the military, so that was my thing. You know, I wanted to fly. I wanted to be in the Air Force. And so that was my career for 12 years before I applied to the astronaut program. But, you know, for me it was like I always used to say I want to go

farther, faster, and higher. Yeah. And going to space was obviously, you know, the farthest I was going to go at this point in human history. So it was really an honor to be able to do it. I mean, my timing put me as the first woman to pilot in command, but I never really saw myself as first woman. I saw myself as part of a team, which I think makes it a lot easier to get your job done every day. What was your first spaceflight? 1995, I went up on the shuttle discovery as the pilot, and again, it was the first time a woman piloted, and probably the highlight of that mission was we were the first Americans to see the Russian space station, Mir, M-I-R. And Mirr means peace.

in Russian. That's what they named their space station, which was up there for, you know, it was up there for maybe 15 years or so. It's not there anymore because we now have the international space station. But on my second flight, we got to dock and go on board here, which was a real cultural, a cultural experience as well as being in space and being in zero gravity and looking back at the earth. It was kind of overwhelming, I will say. You know, from a human point of view, it is quite overwhelming, you know, mentally, physically and emotionally to go up into space and do something that new and different. What are your feelings about us getting back into space a little bit, you know, in a more

a forthright deal, maybe even going to Mars and such? What are your thoughts about that? Yeah, so this is, I want to say, a very evolutionary type of thing. We're taking baby steps out into space. You know, you remember way back, you know, well, maybe you don't remember some of your listeners. Well, in the 60s, we went into space for the first time. But space is expensive and it's also risky, so it takes a long time to do this. But the United States has decided after we've been in lower orbit with the shuttle and the space station for many decades,

it's time to go back to the moon. So the Artemis program is, you know, the moon is, you can get to lower orbit in eight minutes. but to get to the moon is three days, to get to Mars is six months. So this is going to be, and I want to say a challenging thing for us to do is a country with our international partners. And, you know, some people say it's taking too long, but we've got to be careful. We don't want to be doing things that are too risky and have accidents. Well, yeah, you don't want another Apollo 13, right?

We don't want that, you know, that kind of situation. Sure. We don't want that to happen again. But next month, we're going to lie. I say we, NASA is going to launch four astronauts to zip around the back of the moon. It will be the first time we've sent people to the moon since 1972. They're not going to land, but they're going to be photographing the surface. And they'll be back after 10 days.

And after that, the U.S. will continue with Artemis, hopefully landing astronauts on the moon in about two years or so. And I wish it could be me. but everybody has to have their chance. And I know the crew that will be landing on the moon has not been named yet, but we're all looking forward to seeing who they're going to be because they'll be going down in history for sure. Eileen, as part of your missions, did you ever spacewalk at all? Back in the space shuttle days, the answer is no, I have not done a spacewalk.

Back in the shuttle days, commanders and pilots were, you know, we flew the shuttle. We flew the rendezvous. we flew the approach in landing. We operated the controls. We operated all the systems on the shuttle. And the mission specialist did spacewalks and operated the robot arm. And the reason it ended up that way is the amount of training it takes. And, you know, really the training equalized out.

I think about all the time I spent in the simulator in flying our shuttle training aircraft that would not have left enough time to train for spacewalk. Okay. Well, the reason I was wondering, if you ever talk with anybody, Is there a smell to space? I know it's a vacuum, but does anybody know if there's a smell or a sound even to space? Well, you know, I used to say space is all five senses. The smell part is pretty much you're smelling the electronics inside the spacecraft.

Oh. So if you just, if you put a blindfold on me and put me back in the space shuttle, I would be able to tell you I am in the space shuttle just based on the smell. And it's a clean smell. And you can imagine being in a data center or being in a room. with a bunch of computers, and it's cold, and you've got the fans going, and it's, there is a little bit of a smell. Now, I will say the Russian space station, when I was on board that, my commander used to say,

it smells like a basement in New England, because their space station was more humid and more musty, and that had a very unique smell to it, and you could also smell their food, because it seemed like they were always cooking something and playing music over there. So that was a, I used to call it a full sensory experience. But yes, being in space, it's all five senses. Maybe there's a sixth sense to it, too. I haven't quite figured that out yet. Yeah.

But, yeah, in fact, I do want to add here, it is such a wonderful experience being up there that I think space tourism will be extremely successful someday. I see people like spending money just to have that experience. But it's got to get safer. and it's got to get cheaper before we can be sending people up there on vacation. Yeah, once we get Amazon trips to space, they were good, right? Spacewoman, by the way, is a doc about Eileen Collins, once again, who I'm speaking to. Eileen, before I take off here, numerous people write me, and I wonder if people ever talk to you about it.

Do people try to make that claim that the Earth really isn't round? Do they do that stuff, or do they kind of leave you alone? Because people still pepper me with claims of. about such things like that? Oh, yeah. I actually had a seventh grade girl tried to tell me that the Earth was flat, and I couldn't convince her that you fly around the Earth

once every 90 minutes in the Space Station. Yes, the Earth is round. I've seen it with my own eyes, but the other one is that the moon landing was fake. We get that even more often. And I can see where that would have set the Apollo astronauts because they risked their lives to go to the Moon, and yes, they did land on the Moon six times,

12 men walked on the moon, and the moon landing was not faked. And so you get, and the other one is the aliens, you know, NASA's hiding aliens somewhere. So those are like the three silly questions that we get, but I find that, you know, there are some people that just don't get exposed to these issues. And so maybe for them it's a legitimate question. So I try to take their questions seriously and not laugh at them because I want to put myself in their shoes. Maybe they just didn't take their science classes or something. I don't know what the problem is, but yes, the moon landing did happen, and yes, the Earth is a sphere that rotates and revolves around the sun. And what you learned in your fourth grade science class is all true.

Eileen Collins, first woman to pilot and command a spacecraft. Spacewoman, the document We'll get all the information up. Thank you so much for the time. Really appreciate it. Eileen, take care. Yes. Thank you. Good day. 630 at KMED. 993KBXC. This is the Bill Meyer show. This is Insurance Agent A. He sells for one company only. It's the absolute best. To my right, an exemplary insurance agent, an independent, which means I can help you research multiple insurance plans, giving you a that you are going to vote this year.

because everything is on the line. Here's Sean, weekdays after Lars, on KMED. This is News Talk 1063, KMED, and you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. 20 before 7. 7.005-633. Hey, I don't know what happened with us, Steve. We'll try to get it back at it another time.

But, yeah, I've never had that happen all the years. I've been doing this for, what, 20-something years here at the KM-D. I've never had, like, lasers. shooting out of somebody's phone line at me. Doo, do, do. Wasn't that like a 1980s video game? Something from like a Sega or an Atari game? Something like that.

That was wild. All right. Well, some people were asking me about that yesterday. Bill, why did the stream go down? And why did Facebook Live go down there? And well, this is the online connected world. There are a lot of things that we can control. But when the Internet goes down, things come to a halt

because most of the phone conversations end up going over the Internet at one form. Yeah, you might be on your cell phone, but it's over T1 lines and various other, all sorts of technology helping do that, right? It's pretty weird stuff there. But I'm happy to take your calls because it is conspiracy theory Thursday. I never mind going to phone calls on conspiracy theory Thursday because it could be really interesting and stimulating and maybe just a little bit weird here. All right.

Some of our top stories here, at least in Southern Oregon, we have Ed Deal and the crew that are suing once again, suing about the changeover of the date, the date to move the election for the gas tax from November to May. They filed suit. A bunch of other people filed suit on this. I don't know how successful or what difference it would make at this point in time. I mean, I ended up preaching out with the county clerk yesterday, Chris Walker, and she says that, yeah, they're probably going to have the language for it Friday. It could be rather moot.

I don't know what the courts will do about it. I appreciate Ed Deal trying to move it to November and just have it in November the way people had intended it to be in the first place. But I just don't, I think once they start printing the balance and getting those out, might be just too late to do much about it. The main thing they're saying, though, is that people did not have time to be able to go and sign, oh, get 500 signatures so that way you can get in the voters pamphlet for free. That's the way it goes. Otherwise, you've got to pay $1,200.

Now, $1,200. Not everybody has $1,200 burning a hole in their pocket, and so that makes it pretty tough. So they're claiming it violates the Constitution and Americans for Disabilities Act. And so far, though, they haven't been able to make much progress because, once again, you are suing in an Oregon court. with an Oregon judge who was likely appointed by an Oregon governor. And what are Oregon governors? Left-wing commies. You know, there we go.

So that's where we fight ourselves at the moment, but, Ed, God bless him. He's suing again anyway. 7705-633. We go to the phone since it is conspiracy theory Thursday. Good morning. Hi, who's this? Good morning, Bill. This is Vicki from the Applegate.

Vicki, what's on your mind today? Well, you know, after I hung up with you and Eric yesterday when we were talking about the photo ID required for voting, you know, I got to thinking, it's like if you take a $20 bill or $100 bill, they have to mark it with a pen, you know, for the little strip that goes through it. Right. Why can't they do that for illegal immigrants when they, if they're just bound and determined to give them a driver's license, why don't they put something that they can see with a special white, they can, you know, hold it up, they can, you know, rock it back and forth to let the voters

know that they are not Americans, that they don't need to be voting. And it just seems like a simpler way because, you know, they're mainly focusing on photo ID. Well, yeah, his pictures on there, but is illegal. What do you think about that? Well, you know, it's about photo ID not to vote, photo ID to register to vote, I believe, is what, well, of course, I guess it would be required that you would have to show your photo ID in order to do this, but I think it's actually the registration part about it that they would demand. As it is right now, it's totally faith-based. You know what's like when you sign up to vote in Oregon, you assert that, yes, that you are legally allowed to vote. And Oregon has not tended to look too deeply into this. Well, I remember, you know, 30 years ago

when we used to have to go to a ballot place to vote. And they did check your ID so they could check, you know, to make sure it was you. And because we have such a big problem with illegal aliens, why aren't they issuing a driver's license that has something on it that they can look at and say, yes, that's you, but, you know, and then I heard something last night on one of the programs but they had a bunch of fake IDs in case this bill passes so that, you know, these people can still vote. So I just, you know, I just think it would be a great idea. Well, I do too.

My question is how would it be implemented? And here, and this is what I think we're fighting. And I don't know if this is, if you would agree with me on this or not thinking. I'm just going to float my theory, since it is conspiracy theory Thursday, okay? I have another thought, too, so don't hang up. Okay, I won't. We no longer have a culture of going out and voting in Oregon. That's gone.

Right. That's gone. In fact, you know, you can take as someone like a state rep, Dwayne Yonker. Dwayne Yonker is in his early 50s, right? He never had to go out in person to vote in his entire life. It hasn't existed. in his adult life. You know, we have been doing this for such a long time.

People have been conditioned. And let me tell you, people have difficulty being motivated just to fill in the stupid little circle on the paper that's sent to you. And you don't even have to go find a stamp for it. Next, it'll be, oh, gosh, I can't find the mailbox anymore because I don't use the mailbox anymore. I can hear that being the next excuse for not voting. And do you see the challenge here? I mean, if you can't even get people to show up and turn out to vote, what do you think it'll be like to say, would you go find your birth certificate, please, and have a nice day? What do you think?

What do you think would be the action, the reaction from a lot of people? Well, you have to find a birth certificate to get a driver's license. No, you don't have to have. No, you don't. You don't. Really? Oh, no, you can still. No, you've got to get a real ID you have to have if you want the real ID.

You can still get a driver's license. without having to go through the whole thing like you would for real ID. Now, when I had mine renewed last year, I ended up doing the real ID. I just thought, I didn't feel like renewing my passport right now. And so that's why I did it. That's how I ended up doing it. Right. And it's a choice.

Now, see, I don't want a real ID. I don't fly anywhere except around my yard when I'm, like, getting away from a bee or something. Yeah. The point I'm trying to make is when a legal, aliens come in and they go get their driver's license, what proof do they, why do they, why are they allowed to, I know they passed a bill, but why are they allowed to go in to the DMV, get a driver's license or a real ID, whatever they want to get now, and not have some kind of record that these people are illegal immigrants and should not, I voted down.

being registered to vote when you got your driver's license. I think registering to vote is our, as Americans, our responsibility to register. I think it's our responsibilities more than ever now to vote, but they did it automatically. I didn't agree with that. And now we're in this mess because all these illegal aliens have IDs and driver's license that make it seem like they're Americans when they're not. Okay, well, I agree. But that's the whole purpose. of being a sanctuary state in Oregon. The whole purpose is to not ask too many questions. You get rid of being a sanctuary state.

Well, you would have to repeal the number of laws because laws have been passed in the state legislature that ended up essentially telling law enforcement, no, you can't talk. You can't talk to the feds. You cannot help. Nothing about the immigration. You have nothing to do with it. You don't really care. All right.

And now, which well, leads us to the kind of situation. where we have right now, where we have like this Jose Alfonso Argeo, who is in Jackson County jail right now, and is up on tens of millions of dollars of illegal money laundering charges allegedly for drug trafficking, because we're not supposed to ask too many questions about money being sent back to Mexico. Well, the feds looked into it and they think that there was a lot of drug trafficking involved. And the state of Oregon has decided that the Jose R. Gaios of the world are supposed to be able to well function and not have too many people ask questions. Does that make sense?

My God, what the hell is the matter with us? It's not us. No, I know, but we're not doing anything about it. That's what really makes me angry. It's like I hear people talking, you know, listen, listen, you have you have empty skulls of mush over at Oakdale Middle School that are going out and marching in the streets saying, we're fighting for immigrants, for migrants. Yeah.

You know, so. Yeah, it just, it would, okay. Nikki, I know we can talk about this probably for like a half hour, but, you know, demographics, the demographics appear to be kind of like, well, you know, why is it that in Michigan cities now? We're having the call to prayer. demographics, it's destiny, and I think we're experiencing a little bit of that, and the state

of Oregon has decided that no matter what your demographic, you are staying here, all you have to do is have a pulse. That's just the way they like it, for whatever reason, political power, all sorts of things. 770563. If you'd like to weigh in on this topic, too, you are more than welcome. This is the Bill of Myers Show. I know that hiring can be challenged. Call us today a drill with confidence.

52 at KM.E. 993 KBXG. It's conspiracy theory Thursday. Miner, Dave, I'm glad you hear. I wanted to find out about Greg Geveris. We were keeping him in our prayers yesterday. You had mentioned that he was going. He's the former owner of Diner 62, and of course, your brother. And I want to find out, how's he doing this morning? Do you know? Well, I got a text from my summer, his oldest daughter, my niece, saying that the procedure went well, that they were waiting to get a room ready. He was in recovery and that he'd be there maybe tonight or last night and maybe today. And then when they released him, he's going, they're going to take him over to my other niece's house. She owns the house in Portland.

Yeah. And so he's going to stay there until the weekend. But he's doing well. I'm glad to hear that. That just cheers my heart because Greg's good guy. You've got a good brother, brother that's really taking care of, a good care of you over the years, really. Yeah, he has. I appreciate that.

Anything else on your mind for today? What was that? Anything else on your mind today? It is conspiracy theory Thursday. I thought for sure you would at least float something. You know, you know, Vicki's sitting out there wondering why we haven't done anything about illegal aliens. Hey, listen, we need people to do the money laundering here in the city of Medford and Phoenix and Central Point, apparently. You know, I have one that my dog, I had a dog show up two or three months ago that was a puppy that was abandoned out here.

And it's really taken a liking to me. And I was sitting down one day and I was thinking, you know, they have veteran dogs that served in war with our military and that we should honor those veteran dogs. for the service to our troops. And, you know, I've been thinking about that a lot. Really? So I would say we need to start honoring service dogs. Okay. Well, all right.

It's an interesting theory there. I know that what's really going to be interesting when it comes to honoring service members here, you know that they have the wall, the dedication for the wall here in southern Oregon, out by Rogue X coming up May 3. for our Memorial Day weekend. You know that? Yep. No, I didn't know that.

Yeah, yeah. They asked me to emce that, and I will be proud to do that, but that's something that they've been working on for a long, long time. So finally we get to Vietnam War Memorial up there, okay? That would be great. All right. It's too bad that my Vietnam veteran friend died. Yeah, well, so many of them.

I mean, you know, we used to think about World War II veterans. Those were the ones that were the old ones, right? Those are the ones that were passing away. There's almost none of them. There's almost none left now, you know, these days. And it's Vietnam, the Vietnam War veteran is the one taking. If you look at the Korean War veterans, you know, they're dying off like my dad. Yeah, indeed.

Thanks, Miter, Dave. Glad that your brother's doing good here too, okay? Thank you. 770-5633. Emails of the day are sponsored by Dr. Steve Nelson and Central Point Family Dentistry.com. CentralPointFamily Dentistry.com, great people. And they do while you wait, while you wait, crowns. I just try to think, what I'm calling that again.

While you wait crowns is what they have. It's just amazing what they're able to do. And what has happened with them. And you'll find them over at, pardon me, I just had a little computer up here getting my emails up here. Sorry about that. That's why I just kind of lost my mind there for just a minute. Central Point Family Dentistry.com. Get your appointment today. I think you'll really enjoy this. I'm going to get an email of the day to Scott from Jacksonville. Scott Seaver from Jacksonville. Says, Bill, since you are a believer in the globe earth and outer space, it should be very easy for you to go up on

the internet and find actual photos of the globe earth and send one back to me to prove that this creation is a globe. computer graphic images do not count as photographs. Okay. You know, I am... You know, Scott, you and I have had these conversations. Scott, you're a good guy. I've talked to you about many things over the years, but I have to tell you,

this insistence on the so-called biblical earth, the flat-earth series theory here is it makes my head hurt around here, and it makes my teeth hurt, too, kind of like what Eric Peters would talk about. And if you think it's flat, we ought to be able to go to the edge. There's all sorts of things that we would be able to do. There would be no such thing as the space shuttle orbiting. There would be no such thing as Elon Musk's satellites up there, too. There would be nothing

tethering it to the Earth. Well, of course, I guess the theory then from the biblical Earth folks is that everything up there, our satellite communication systems here, I have to point to a certain point in the sky for a geo-stationary satellite in order to get our Fox News and our talk radio programs around the country in what? They're just kind of sitting up there because, right? That's what you're insisting. I don't know where I go on something like that. In fact, I would imagine that I'm fresh out of photographic film.

There's almost no photographic film now, just about everything is done on computers now here, Scott. I don't know what to say to you. I can't tell you how many people write me and say, Bill, here's a YouTube video. It proves the flat earth theory. It's like, okay, all right. Maybe you're right. I'll tell you what. I got a lot of people like, I guess that Eileen, I guess Eileen, who called me this morning,

first woman commanding in space, claims to have gone around the earth thousands of times in the various missions over the years. She's just a big fat liar. A big fat liar and they're doing a documentary about her. I tell you, if she's lying, these are some of the biggest lies, you know, right out there in front of us of all time. I don't know where you even go on something like that. You know, we had scientists theorizing about this hundreds of years ago and even calculating the circumference of the Earth, noticing the curve of the planet. Hundreds of years ago they were doing this.

and we have people who are still insisting that it's this way today, and it's still flat. I don't know where to go. God love you, though. God love you. Hi, good morning. KMED. This is Bill. Hello, Bill.

This is Ant Man. Atman. How you doing? Good morning, sir. I'm from the upper Applegate, not the Vicki Applegate, though. Okay. I got a question about the memorial thing that's going to be dedicated. What happened to the other wall?

It's still there over by the armory. How come nobody ever mentions that one? I can't answer that. I just know that the – I just know that they're having the ceremony at Rogue X for the dedication of the new one on Memorial Day. Yes. Yes, I've seen that. It looks like it's already – except for the landscaping, it looks like it's pretty much done. Yeah.

Yeah, so I can't really answer that, why they don't really talk much about that, but that's all I know about it, that they asked me to MC, and I said, okay, okay. I got a conspiracy theory for you, but... Okay, now, now, please, is it about the shape of the earth? No, it is not. I'm okay with the round earth. All right, so far. And even it's not perfectly round, maybe more like egg, but still, who's counting? But let's hear it.

Go ahead. Well, there was a theory that Netanyahu had been killed by a missile from the Iranians. Yes. But apparently that's been debunked recently, even with the visit with Mike Huckabee was with him just a day or two ago. Yeah, there are people claiming that that video looked kind of weird. And that's what they were saying like it was an AI-created kind of video. Of course, one of our challenges these days, Adman, is that we just, don't, you know, gosh.

How do you know? You know, some video being taken is legit or someone hasn't run it through some kind of AI large language model and screwed it up into something for their particular purposes. We just don't know, do we? No, we don't. Yeah. Hey, I really appreciate your program. It is a great thing to have in the morning to hear what's going on around the valley.

I appreciate it. I appreciate that greatly. And thank you for your listenership. KMED, KMED, HD1, Eagle Point, Metford, KBXG Grants Pass. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Morning, Bill.

Steve and Sunny Valley. Hi, Steve. So I have a theory about, it's confirmation bias. I had the opportunity to go into one of these flatter-term meetings several years ago, probably about 10 years ago now. Well, and I wanted to just say that I was surprised here, Steve, how many individuals adhere to that. And I know we're allowed to believe what we want.

I get that. And I'm not trying to make fun of it. It's just, I disagree, and there is such focus on getting me to believe what they're thinking. Well, it's the same, it's the exact same way of thinking that got people to believe in the Russia hoax, and they got people to believe that our commissioners here in Josephine County were corrupt. You get all of these little factoids, and you string them all together, and you tell a story, and they're so in-depth and so detailed. I know a guy who could tell you the name of every single person involved in the Russia hoax.

And even after it's been debunked and the origin is clear that it came out of the Hillary campaign to cover up for her shenanigan. Well, we got the same thing going on with, in Dufur, when I went to the Flat Earth meeting, they said, well, how do you know that the world is around? Well, when I drove up here, I could see Mount Hood. And I could see the top of Mount Hood before I could see the base of Mount Hood, which, which is, well, what you, you, how do you know. only happens on a sphere. Well, there's other ways to think about how they can always justify in their minds the rationale for their beliefs. Well, my point is that, you know, I'm in broadcasting, and even people I know who are ham radio operators are sometimes into a flat earth theory, which kind of, I chuckle. Well, I know, because I'm thinking about even just radio propagation.

and for years and years here, it's on FM radio. Now, AM radio broadcast is different because there is ground conductivity, and it will follow the ground to a certain extent, depending on how well the ground, the actual Earth conducts the radio signal, and, you know, at that signal level, and it'll go farther, and we'll also sometimes bounce off the ionosphere, and that's how you end up getting the skip. Right, you got the skip. But with FM, most of the time, unless you have tropospheric ducting,

I don't want to get off into the weeds on things like that. For the most part, if you want an FM signal to go really, really long, you know, 106.3 FM, you have to be on a very, very high hill. You do. Right. You know, and now if we did not have to, if we didn't, it would have cost a lot less money to be able to put maybe just, you know, a hundred foot tower here at the radio station here, just a hundred feet above ground level just to keep it around the ground clutter, you know, buildings and things like that, and then everybody gets to hear it, that we wouldn't have to go up on a mountain, but we have to go up on a mountain because. Right. Because the world is round.

Yeah, because the Earth is falling away from the signal as it's, you know, propagating away from the antenna. So it's like... You see these flat earth books with global shipping. Yeah, I know. It is kind of funny there, but God bless everyone. But I just can't. That's just one theory I can't go to. I just can't do it, Scott.

I can't. All right? Yeah. I understand. Yeah. It's crazy how people can manipulate the truth to get what they want out of it. Now, I suppose when I leave this earth, when I finally shuck the coil and leave this earth, maybe I'm going to have to take my spirit and just look up there and maybe I'll look at and say,

oh, the flat earthers were right. There's the edge. You know, okay? And if so, I'll be really surprised. But we'll see. Okay? Yep. All right.

Thanks for the call. Flat Earthers, every time we see a line of the sky, we're being chemtrailed to death. I mean, it's, and the weather is never the weather. The weather is always what the globalist, what the Soros weather computer is ordering for the day. Of course, there could be more truth of that than we know. One of each K4 VIN 235-722 MSRP 24-185.
