Episode Date: March 27, 2026

Having fun discussing a guest pitch...all that matter is someone is a member of LGBTQ, not their talents?? Your calls, and then Hayley McNamara from NCOSE (fighting sex abuse) explains the social media lawsuits, says it is good news.

This hour of the Bill Meyer Show podcast is proudly sponsored by Klausur drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for more than 50 years. Find out more about them at Klausor drilling.com. Now more with Bill Meyer. Welcome to Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Join the conversation at 770-8-M-E-S7505-633. We can have good conversation this morning. You know how Medha and YouTube and everybody else, boy, social media is getting pounded.

getting pounded in court this week. Yeah, they're going to appeal these decisions, but I'm going to talk with some people involved with preventing and trying to roll back sexual exploitation, especially of young children. And they're thinking that the socials have a lot to do with this, and no doubt they're real happy about these lawsuits and actually getting some traction.

So we'll have some conversation about that. And also going to talk with a psychiatrist going into the psychology of woke and how is it that so many people seem to have just are so emotionally fragile these days and most of them are on the Democratic side of the aisle. At least it kind of seems that. It seems that way. Oh, I was reading a story. I think I have it in my stack someplace in here about Oregon.

Oregon is one of the top is top 10 stressed out. Top 10 stressed out. That's what we supposedly are here in the state of Oregon. And of course, they tend to look at it through lack of child care. It's a lack of affordable child care and a few other things what they're talking about. So working people are having trouble making that. Do you ever wonder if enough Americans will wake up to the inflation? issues that have gone through our our society gosh all my life really i mean i'm 64 going to be

65 and really since the 1970s and we detached from gold it just uh it just roaring forward roaring forward and we just always assume that uh that prices will go up right and then you end up being told that well you have to you know you as a woman if you're a woman as an example taking care of children and staying home, that is not a high use of your time. The best use of your time is to go become, well, a farmer in the corporate cube farm, you know, a drone in the corporate cube farm, and then you turn over the raising of your children to someone else, right?

And you're never supposed to think, but I often wondered if even the so-called feminist movement was just a big globalist push to cover up for, hey, you know something, we're going to have to detach from gold, and we're going to have to inflate. And when we inflate, you know, one guy making a good living is not going to be able to take care of a family anymore. We're going to need two people making it. But we'll hide it under, hey, you know, you're going to make it after all.

Right? You ever wonder that? I kind of look back at that time and I wonder because I feel very blessed that I actually had two parents. and then I had a mother at home. That was great. It was great knowing that there was someone in home taking care of you rather than, oh my gosh, I can't get a hold of Tommy on the cell phone. You know, that's what quality parenting is these days, right?

Can you get a hold of your kid on the cell phone? I don't know. Anyway, we'll have some good talk about that and various other things, and you can join the conversation too. By the way, there is someone who I see this all the time. people try to call the radio station and they block their caller ID. You don't get through, all right? I'll give you my phone number, 7705633, but I have to have your phone number to.

I'm not going to do anything with it, but it keeps the trolls down. We're polite with one another. We work well and play well together, but you do have to make sure that your caller ID is unblocked. Okay, all right. and you can join in at 7-7-OK MED. Some of our top headlines, Big Boom yesterday, a big kaboom. 32-year-old Michael Bugley of Ashland,

he's in Jackson County Jail this morning. By the way, he's the same guy that they were looking for. Remember a few weeks ago when we had that domestic violence standoff? There was a guy they wanted to talk to him about for domestic violence. It was in West Medford. They had that arm standoff, and then they didn't find him inside. the house. Well, he was the same guy. That was the guy who they were looking for. And so we had

Ashland Police, fire, talent police. Eventually, the OSP bomb squad ended up showing up to this house over on Morton. Found out, I think it looked like a truck that had some damage in the front of it there. And they saw what they thought was another bomb. So they called the OSP in, and the OSP bomb squad ends up taking care of it. And then they found some more evidence. and it pointed to Bugley, and they found Bugley over just a few blocks away, apparently. He's in the Jackson County Jail, slew of charges, lots and lots of charges. There's also another police story going on this morning. I can't give you much more.

And if there's anybody that has eyes on this or knows anything about it, please let me know. We had Grants Pass police not saying much, but unconfirmed reports that two people were shot on Northeast East Street in Grants Pass last night. I can't find any confirmation. about this. And I know that KOBI and KDRV both reached out to him and no one's saying anything. Does anybody know what happened in that event last night? I'm just not seeing a lot of credible reporting on that.

Let me know, okay? We also have a 25-year-old from Eagle Point. Cameron Tinson, he's going to prison for more than a year and a half. That was about a drive-by shooting. Drive-by shooting in Medford in February of a couple of years. actually last year, last year. So really interesting there. And I've noticed that Daily Courier ended up reporting on this one. And they said, flock license cameras led to the arrest of Tinson. I've noticed that we're starting to see more news releases and more news reporting. I think there's

a bit more conditioning that's saying, that's okay. Don't mind that you have license plates, databasing you everywhere where you go in Southern Oregon. We'll be able to catch the bad guys. And frankly, that's a good side. That's a good side of it. You know, you're get an idea of, you know, someone has a drive-by shooting and you're able to track them down here. But once again, I guess, under the whole aspect of safety, they'll condition us to accept more of the surveillance state. What do you think about that on Conspiracy Theory Thursday, huh? 770563.

We can talk about that, too. Christine Drazen was in town yesterday. Christine would have loved to have seen you. I didn't even get a notice from Christine Drazen that she was in town. Did you? Maybe I'm just on the wrong email list. Christine, I would have been happy to talk to you. I wouldn't have even mentioned the tampons in the boys' room vote, okay?

I know. I was talking about that with Noel Robinson. He was in studio a couple of weeks ago. I forget we were talking. Yeah, I was a post-mortem on the session. And I said the challenge that you have some of these candidates is that, you know, they're all in on. We had the Republicans all piling on top of each other to vote for tampons in the boys' room. years ago. It was just utter nonsense. And Christine Draising was one of them. And now I was saying,

yeah, boy, they all got got nailed on that. How could you get nailed on such a thing under menstrual equity, right? This whole nonsense of menstrual equity, you know, it used to be, okay, if you need more pads and tampons and things, fine. But what, you have to go and super serve the transgender sickies in this society? I don't get it. Just, just crazy. And this is why so many people get upset with our Republican Party at times in which gosh, you know, you don't want to be called a racist or you don't want to be called a transphobe. How about just being called common sense? You have to be willing to take those stands on some of those issues. And speaking of which, there's another story, I think I have that, let me look in

my speaking, oh yeah, here we go. Here we go. California arranged a debate for top candidates, candidates for governor. It was canceled because it was too white. And so they caved. They caved. This is the example of nonsense running our society. The top performing Democrats in the race reported here Representative Eric Swalwell. Oh boy. Yeah. Yeah, bang bang guy. Former Representative Katie Porter and billionaire Tom Steyer. Now Tom Steyer is a fox guy and a pretty good, pretty good one. No, no, no, not Tom Steyer. I'm thinking. Speaking of Steve Hilton, okay. Republican Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco leading that. I'm hoping that Chad Bianco actually quits and just kind of throws it to Steve because they have a jungle primary. They could. You could technically have Steve Hilton win that one. He could.

You never know. But they ended up canceling this debate because it was too white. Too white. Too many white people, not other people of color. And they cave. Oh, gosh. USC. But you know it's everywhere. This kind of woke nonsense.

I get all sorts of interview pitches, folks. People who want to come on the show, want me to talk about their show or their podcast or their book or whatever. A lot of times it's books. Talk radio listeners, buy books. We read. We do. We really do. And that's why it works so well. But here's a pitch I was saving for you. and I know that you would enjoy this. Interview.

Next chef Ashley Shanti on the future of food. Okay. Well, I like good food. So what's the story? There's a book. Hi, Bill. We would love to arrange an interview with 2025

James Beard Award-winning top chef standout Ashley Shanti. A boundary-breaking force redefining the future of American food. A queer black woman at the forefront of a new culinary movement. Shanti is not just challenging the narrative around Southern cuisine. She's rewriting it entirely, carving out space for black Appalachian foodways in a way that

feels both historically grounded and radically forward with an award-winning cookbook in Our South, black food through my lens. But anyway, all they're talking about is she's re-envisioning Southern Cuisine, taking back Southern Cuisine as if Southern Cuisine was stolen from her by Whitey, no doubt. You know, too white. All I would care about was, gee, you're doing Southern cuisine, Ashley. I like Southern cuisine, too. How's it good?

How do you make it good? Where'd you learn it from? I want to talk about being black and queer at a cook. So what? By the way, don't buy that book. Don't even encourage people like that, okay? Now, I'm not talking about someone who's black, someone who's thinking that it's important to be black and queer at a cook

to be the important part about it. Harumph! This is the Bill Meyers show on KMED. This month at Kelly's Automoto Service, when you have our platinum fuel system cleaning done, you'll receive a free bag of homeless Joe coffee. Every bag buys a meal and a... Thermal efficiency.

Call today to get your estimate tomorrow. 541. 1 3736. Licensed CCB-250730. Hi, this is Lisa, the Hughes Lumbergirl, and I'm on 106.7, KMED. Huh. You know, the black queer Ashley Shanty, you know, the one who is saying that she's, you know, repossessing Southern cuisine, maybe I should have her on.

Right. I'm just imagining what I would, if I were to have her on talking about her book, because they're pushing her because she's black and queer. And she's a top chef, you know, top content. you know, that sort of thing. But then I could say, all right, how is it that being black and queer is able to make you make fried okra that's not slimy? What is it about the black and queer experience?

I wonder what she would say. Maybe that's why you have to start doing. I'll start interviewing these people saying, what is it about being black and queer since that seems to be the number one thing about your book that you're doing Southern cuisine? Maybe I should ask her. I'll be polite, but, you know, what is it? about being black and queer since that seems to be the most important part of the book,

I guess. Anyway, we talk to Vicki. Hello, Vicki. What's on your mind this morning? Go ahead. I had kind of a funny story about the bathroom. Back when they first started, you know, trans men wanted to start using the women's restroom. Right.

Well, I don't drink very often, but I was drinking with some of my friends, and I had to go to the bathroom so bad. All right, so you're drinking. You're loaded, right? Yeah. You're loaded. Vicki is drunk and she's heading to the bathroom and there's a guy, right? No. No? I went into the bathroom and when I walked in and shut the door, there was urinals on the wall.

And I thought, oh, my God, are you serious? They're putting urinals in the women's bathroom now? Okay, well, why would they put urinals behind? No, no, was it a urinal, urinal with a door around it? I mean what? It was a wall that had like three urinals and then it had a stall with the door. Oh, okay. That's standard thing. All right. Fine. So I went in the stall. I did my business. I come out and I'm thinking to myself, oh, my God. Thank God I didn't walk in with some trans person going to the restroom.

Yeah. So I get ready to walk out and a man walks in, like a man man, and he looked at me like I was trans. Oh, did you just walk in the wrong room? And I said, oh, no, honey. I'm all 100% woman. And I just walked right past him, but the look on his face, oh, it was precious. Okay, I have to ask you, though, did you walk into the men's restroom? I did. Okay, that's what I thought.

Okay. All right. It really wasn't the men's restroom. Oh, that is a funny one. Thanks, Mickey. I'm glad you made it through. See, that's what alcohol does to you. Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this?

This is Christopher. Christopher. How are you doing this morning? I'm good. How are you? Doing fine. What's up? Hey, I just want to let you know. I was driving my wife to work here just a few minutes ago on 7th Street and Grants Pass. Yeah. And I don't know if it has anything to do with what happened last night, but there was a huge, like, four or five cops just racing up 7th Street after this, like, like, black minivan with stickers all over it and stuff all packed in it.

And that van was trying to get away. And it looks like they pitted them or did something on 7th Street. We had to turn down a side street. But I don't know if it has anything to do with that. But that's happening like right now. And then there's also like fire trucks and ambulances. So I don't know if it has anything to do with what we were talking about earlier. But you know what I just saw taking my wife to work this morning.

All right. Hey, I appreciate the tip on that. Well, we'll look into that. probably not involved with the shooting yesterday is what they were talking about. Did it look like it was fresh, like something new? I don't, yeah, you know, I don't know. All I know is this black minivan comes racing by us, and then there's all these cops, like four or five cops.

So I don't know if it had anything to do with, like, maybe it did or it didn't. Like, maybe they figured something out. I don't know. But it was a really sketchy-looking minivan, like a lot of the cars around. here now. Yeah, that's not unusual for sure. All right, so how close was that on 7th to northeast E Street? Were you by Northeast East Street? That's where this shooting supposedly happened, the unconcerned report. Yeah, it was, I was just past A Street, actually. We just passed A. We just actually were passing the police station. Okay, this must be then a different incident,

but I always appreciate you let me know. Okay, thank you. There's something going on. All right. It is, but there's something definitely going on. We'll check it out. Somebody's in trouble. Another inmate coming to the Josephine County Jail at taxpayer expense. Hey, go to line one. Hi, K&E. Good morning. Who's this?

Hey, this is Logan Bill regarding the Grants Pass shooting. Yeah. All this is unconfirmed, but what I saw on social media last night, a man was shot in the neck, one in the arm. The guy in the, the shot in the neck did not make it. It was just kind of obviously some sort of disagreement kind of out front. There's a minute market there by the Joe Sports Bar. Yeah. And it was a disagreement, shots fired.

One guy got shot in the neck, one in the arm. And from what it sounds like, what we're hearing is the guy shot in the neck didn't make it. Okay. Well, that would make some sense. It's one of those things, though, where Grants Passed police not saying anything about that. So something did happen from the looks of it then. All right. That was a witness statement that she put on social media.

So, you know, it's, yeah. So just bringing the update. All right. Thank you, Bill. Appreciate that. Thanks, Logan. 632, KMED, 993 KBXG. Spring brings more travel, more outings, and more families looking for things to do in southern Oregon.

KMED, and you're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. Haley Macamary, make that Haley McNamara. I'll get that right. I was thinking of the old White House person, right?

But anyway, Haley McNamara is the executive director at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. How you doing this morning, Haley? Great to have you back on. So glad to be back, and this is a good morning. Yeah, indeed. Now, tell us about the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. You're about ending this, so you've got to. be really thrilled with, gosh, all the court action against the social media networks this week,

huh? Yes, absolutely. So our mission is to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation at a mass scale, and that means institutions like these social media platforms. So this week, we've had these two great verdicts delivered by juries against meta and one against also YouTube, and we think that it is really going to shift the legal landscape and help put some power back in the hands of survivors and families. So this is almost like the chink in the armor finally,

because the social media networks, of course, backed by trillions of dollars in money, have really been able to, I don't know, buy a lot of hands-off approach for a while. Would that be fair? Absolutely. These social media companies' entire business model really relies on this idea that they will be found immune for liability for any harm that they cause. And that's because of an old outdated law that really pre-exist social media called Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. That courts have long said means that these companies can't be held liable.

So exactly, it's the chink in the armor that we just got these two back-to-back cases that were successful. It's really historic. And, yeah, I'm so excited to talk more about it. So what was the difference between the one that happened yesterday on social media addiction, and one that happened a little bit earlier this week also? And both will be appealed. Both of them were going to be appealed. I don't think this is the end of it for sure.

But please, let us know. Yes. Yeah, so these are two major jury verdicts that just hit Big Tech back to back. So in New Mexico, New Mexico State Attorney General brought a lawsuit against META, and the jury gave META a fine of 300. $175 billion saying that the company misled families and enabled child sexual exploitation on its platform because they knew the risks. They didn't take action to contradict those risks.

And they misled families saying that their platform was safe and that basically the only risk children faced was maybe some online bullying versus grooming, extortion, child sexual abuse material, et cetera. And then in California, a separate jury found both meta and use. YouTube liable for designing addictive products that harmed a young user's mental health, a young woman who had really significant mental health problems from both meta and YouTube. And there, that jury awarded around $6 million in damages. You know, all right.

So we're going to haul them accountable for making it addictive. And yet, isn't that, I mean, that's the business model. of every website or any media outlet. They're actually hoping that you'll never leave you. It just sounds a little odd to me. You understand how on the other side I can kind of question, all right, everybody wants you to be on it. And everybody, you know, I'd like you to be addicted to my talk show and never miss a day, right?

And, you know, could someone sue me? Now I know it's absurd, you know, to talk about it on something like that. But how does it rise to the level that we're almost treating it like it's, you know, cigarettes back in the 1960s with, you know, putting the warnings on the packets and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, a lot of this comes to the harm that the social media companies themselves know about their products. They've done internal research, and that reveals that certain features like never-ending scrolls and notifications that try to keep firing the dopamine for someone to stay on longer or longer. They know that it's harmful. And in the addiction and mental health case from California, they also knew that this child was having mental health struggles and promoted through their algorithm content to her around self-harm and restrictive eating as well.

Oh, okay. So it ends up feeding the mental illness is what you're saying, what the jury said. Okay, all right, I can see that crossing a line. All right, I get that. I understand that part about it. But, of course, I guess the question is, should be just put a warning label that if you are mentally ill or have mental problems that you're not allowed to have a social media account if you're a young person. It's in trouble. I mean, what are the asks of all this besides, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars, I guess?

Right. Yeah, well, these lawsuits really are bellwether trials that I hope will not only lead to other lawsuits, but they also are informing legislators because that's what we need is just some. common sense basic legislation around this. And these trials show that. So right now, candidates on both sides of the aisle are recognizing this. And they're talking about two things. One is the Kids Online Safety Act. The Senate version has a strong duty of care, which basically says for these online companies, if you know that children are on your platform, make sure that you're building it with safety in mind for those children, a pretty common sense baseline requirement that is found in other places in the world. And then the other thing that they're talking about is

sunseting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. And that has been introduced on the Senate side, which would give two years to say we're going to roll back broad immunity for online platforms and come up with better legislation that allows some liability when they are knowingly facilitating harm like sexual exploitation. Yeah, of course, that's the, now how are they facilitating sexual exploitation online, according to NCOSE, your group. What do they do? Because I don't see, you know, nobody's sending me any pictures of naked kids or young girls or things like that, although I must admit that YouTube has a propensity of putting a lot

of reels up there that show large-breasted women that I'm supposed to click on, you know, apparently. But they're adults, okay? Well, I'm glad that that is what is in your feed. Unfortunately, that's not the case. for everyone. I was deposed as an expert witness in the New Mexico case against META and shared years of evidence from our dirty dozen list about how META was repeatedly warned about dangers, including sexual exploitation, harassment, grooming. These were facilitated by different design features that META left

in place. For example, one example, I could go on for probably an hour of examples. One example is direct messaging for minors. In 2019, I... informed meta and Nicosi informed meta that sex traffickers were using direct messages in order to target and groom children online. And we recommend it turn those direct messages to private by default for children. Oh, okay. So the perverts are getting in touch with the kids that way directly. Okay. Exactly. And those are design features meta new was leading to harm. And they didn't fix it for many years. Meanwhile, kids continued to get harmed. And there's other features. that are not resolved on meta platform.

So these are ways that their design features are facilitating, grooming, and abuse, and they've been informed so they should do better. What will you see? What kind of changes will you see? Because whatever goes after meta, Facebook, Instagram, all the rest of it in YouTube, whatever affects them will affect every other social media platform, too. What kind of changes would you see or could we be seeing coming over the next few weeks in years, really? We're looking for an incentive shift. Right now, the incentive of these companies is

by any means necessary, keep up engagement so that they can get as much profit as possible. We need to shift that incentive to say, when it comes to kids, at least, or crimes of sexual exploitation, you need to err on the side of safety. So that might mean that there's less children who are direct messaging on your platform. It might mean that children can't live stream on your platform or be contacted by strangers in their comments. And that might lose you a bit of engagement. But on the scheme of things, that will make such a safer online space and it will help their companies in the long run. None of these companies want to be breeding grounds of predators, I'm sure. So they just need to change where their incentives are. Yeah. What about X? X. X.

to be it's interesting I mean a lot of some of the most contentious arguments and speech seems to happen on X these days ever since they had Elon Musk of picking that up is that an exploitation site too is curious unfortunately it absolutely is and this site you know one of their design flaws is they blatantly allow pornographic material to be uploaded and they don't in any way vet or verify who is depicted in those videos. So, of course, there's non-consensual adult material and there's also child material on X all the time. And they know this. And in fact, Nocose has sued X formerly Twitter at the time of the origination of our lawsuit before, on behalf of a child

victim of sexual abuse materials that was uploaded on Twitter. And right now we are petitioning the Supreme Court to hear that case. What role should parents be playing in this that they're not? I'm still trying to understand why it is that every parent now is giving a five-year-old a cell phone to take to school with them. Yeah, it's twofold. I'd say on the first hand, we do put a lot of emphasis on the responsibility of these platform because it's impossible for even the most engaged parent to lock down

every single app, you know, many of these platforms, it takes 20 steps to turn on parental control. So I first want to give empathy to parents who are trying to do the best they can. It's a very complex space. At the same time, too, it is important for these harms, for parents to be educated on them because you need to be having conversations with your kids about what they're seeing online, contact with strangers, be very conscious about what apps your children are using, and do your best. to set up the parental controls and just have regular conversations with your kids around online safety.

But I acknowledge it's an overwhelming job for parents. And that's because of the system that these companies have set up. Do you think we need to go the direction of Australia, for example, which treats social media access almost like a driver's license is treated here? You know, you have to be quite a bit older before you can get on them. Oh, we're very interested in that approach. You know, NCOZE does not have a current stance on that policy position. It's very interesting.

I'll be curious to see how it goes in Australia. I think there's both and here, too, as well. I think there's wisdom in keeping kids off of social media in general. But I also think that these companies, if they're going to allow kids on their site, need to make them safe. So, yes, I think both should be true. Yeah, keep it pretty innocuous if you want to have the puppy and kitty videos. playing and things like, yeah, that's one thing.

But there's a lot of darkness out there. That is for sure, okay? Yeah. Halie McNamara is the executive director at National Center on Sexual Exploitation, and you have all this information, your reaction to this. And no doubt this is not going to be the end of the story, but you're going to have, you know you have to be back in court again. You do understand that, right?

This is not the end of it. I don't think. Yep. This is not the end. And I would say for any listeners who want to get engaged in holding big tech accountable. Next Tuesday, the 31st, we're releasing our Dirty Dozen List, where we name 12 mainstream companies facilitating exploitation, and we give the general public the chance to email these companies to raise their own voice and put these companies on notice that they could be next if they don't

take better action. So you can sign up to get that list at Dirty Dozenlist.org. And you can also find out more about N-C-O-S-E at End Sexual E-E. Exploitation.org. I'll put all that up on my website, and I appreciate the analysis of these big lawsuits this week. I'll tell you, it's kind of like an explosion over in the high-tech world, I'll bet. It absolutely is. A lot of lawyers losing a lot of sleep over there. I bet they are. Haley, thanks so much for the talk. Appreciate that greatly. Thank you. 650. This is KMED and 993 KBXG. Appreciate you waking up on the Bill Myers Show on

Conspiracy Theory Thursday. For precision and performance, choose Stephen Westfall Roofing. Paid spokesperson. Time span on application may vary. Online health questions required. This is the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED. Got something on your mind? Give Bill a shout at 541-770-633-770 KMED. I was sharing a interview pitch with a restaurateur, a cook, has a book out there, and it seems like the most important part of Ashley Chante is that she is, black and queer and doing southern cuisine and repossessing, taking back.

And, you know, this whole identity politics thing is it just makes my eyes glaze my teeth hurt. You know, it just does. It just does. And I thought about inviting her on the show. Maybe you can give me an idea if you want me to invite her on the show or not because I just love to ask her, what is it about black and queer, being black and queer, that makes you cook the okra without making.

it's slimy. I mean, what is it about that? Because I know other cooks that are able to do that really well can fry the ochre and have it not be slimy and have it be really, was it a challenge because of being black and queer or did black and queer actually make it better? Maybe I've just ask people like that. Why do you focus so much on your sexual orientation? Because I'm just glad that you're, that you're doing well in your career. And I thought that would be enough. but I know that I'm being silly just thinking that your accomplishments should actually speak more than who you choose to go to bed with. And not that I have any problem with this. Hey, hey, Ashley, do what you want.

I'm going to give an email of the day. By the way, emails of the day are sponsored by Dr. Steve Nelson and Central Point Family Dentistry.com. And they have a great deal going on there where if you need a crown, And I've had a couple of crowns from Dr. Steve. They have an in-house lab now, which means that about 90 minutes, the whole thing is done. From prepping your tooth to getting the pictures all taken of your tooth, and then they have the little lathe machine that's going, and they bake it in the oven. And they, well, it's kind of like a dental easy bake oven, right?

Out comes the crown. It's all ready for you. It is so simple. You'll love that, okay? Centralpoint Family Dentistry.com. And Tom says, Bill, you let the cat out of the bag, queer black cooking. Now it'll probably be a required relicensing course for all the medical personnel in Oregon, in all the vital essential courses in cultural competency.

You know, Tom has talked with us about that before. He's a chiropractor, right? And so to be a chiropractor, he has to be down with cultural competency. So he better be, you know, maybe he'll have to do chiropractic adjustments. You know, the Ashley Shanty's come in and they have sciatica. And then Tom has to take care of them. Maybe he'll have to treat them and adjust them differently, knowing that Ashley would be black and queer and a cooker with sciatica.

You know, that sort of thing. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's the nonsense world that we're continuing to form here in the state of Oregon. everybody else is starting to back away. Jerry writes me this morning, Hey Bill, I've never seen such a night and day difference in the news. In America, we're winning the war with Iran and all is going well. We've decisively defeated them militarily and peace is around the corner.

However, there are 400 to 1,000 tankers in the Persian Gulf area waiting for oil or natural gas, and Iran is imposing a $2 million tariff per tanker and only doing business with countries not affiliated with the U.S. and Israel. Iran also just launched their 80-eastern. wave of drones and domestic missiles or ballistic missiles against Israel and other Gulf countries, knocking out a power station in Israel with no intent on stopping the bombardment. Yet our administration claims to have virtually destroyed their missile system, including mobile launchers. Jerry, you are expressing a frustration that I have when it comes time to looking at war news here. Because here we are out in southern Oregon.

There's not a whole lot we can do about it. But yet, I can't really tell you. and tell you what the people say on the television screen, you know, about that. Do I know if it is true? I do not. The one thing that I do know is true for sure is that they're looking for another $200 billion of money to help pay for it all. And the other thing I can guarantee you is very popular. I don't know what the polling for the war is.

You know, you talk to different channels and you'll hear different things. Oh, you know, Magas in trouble. Oh, Megas all thrilled with this. The people who are most thrilled with this action right now, the military industrial complex, their board of directors, and the people who own their stocks. They love that. I can guarantee you that.

Other than that, I can't tell you. But thank you for writing, email, Bill at Billemeyer's Show.com. Hi, KMEDE, who's this? Welcome on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Good morning. This is Sunny David and Phoenix. Well, hello, Sunny David. I like that.

Sunny David. Yeah. But anyway, you're kind of like, you know, within every silver lining, there's a cloud in your world isn't there. That is me. Thank you so much. What's up, David? What's going on? Well, there's, I'm going to be a new star. I just wrote a new cookbook and got a new cooking show. I just wanted to share it with you. Oh, you did? Listeners first.

Okay. Great. It's for people that are short, round, and bald. The short, round, fat guy's guide to cooking by Sonny David. And I don't want any cultural appropriation. So if you're tall, good-looking, you can't, you can't open up a restaurant and do this. It's only for guys like me. We're going to have wee. We're going to have weenie tots.

We eat Tots We're going to make me choke Yeah We're going to have Cheeseburgers on a stick Deep fried Don't forget some version

of macaroni and cheese If you're talking about The short round white guy Short round white guy Now you see What you have to do though Now David Sonny David

What you have to do though Is that when you put it out You have to put out there you have to use all the words like Shanti did in which I'm re-envisioning white guy, fat guy cooking through my lens, my cultural lens. Okay. You got to say that. Do you remember about five years ago in Portland, Oregon? Do you remember the food carton issue in Portland, Oregon?

Which one was that? Please remind me. Two, two, these are liberal, hair-dy, you know, lunatic, left the center of white gals. They went down to old Mexico, and they went to all the Indian communities down there, you know, the pre-Spanish-type people. Oh. And learned all the traditional cooking, how to make the carnitas and the manus. No, no, no, no, come on. You got to say it right.

carnitas carnitas And they went down to And you have to say Columbia Colombia and Mexico They learned all The proper stuff

And they opened up When it was a hot thing I don't know why people Want to stand in the sun On the side of a road Eating out of a truck But that's just I don't know

Because I'm a short bald fat guy And I'd rather have a weenie tot But anyways indoors in air conditioning But anyways anyways, because they were culturally misappropriating, you know, cultural food, and they were actually shut down. Do you remember that?

Yeah, I do remember that now vaguely. I forgot about it because there's been so many of these nonsensical type of aspects. And then, of course, the white liberals are going, oh, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'll go back to my culture. But remember, everybody else is allowed to celebrate their culture except a white, though. in in Portland. You know, you can't celebrate white cultures. So how are they, they probably had to go out of business, didn't they?

Yeah, but back when that happened, I told people, well, we've, you don't have to go to Mexico to get the real stuff. The most original Mexican you can ever get. We, we have it right here, of course, Taco Bell. Of course, I said I get really in trouble. Oh, yeah, you get really. Yeah, I don't know. Taco Bell fills the hole sometimes, but it is kind of.

I get in trouble, though. Boy, that makes it mad. Yeah, you know, they don't like mocking. Well, they make the same thing, though. They do have an interesting menu over at Taco Bell. You're able to take the same seven ingredients and, you know, a meat-like substance and a bean-like substance and, you know, something like that. Then that's being like? Kind of like the whey-Tod.

All right. Sonny, David, thank you for the call. You always make me smile in spite of the fact that you're so dower most of the time. Thank you. All right. Weenie tots. Cheeseburger on a stick. I'd buy it. Three after seven, KMED, KMED, HD1, Eagle Point, Medford, KBXG, Grants Pass.

We'll have the latest from Fox News, then. The Hannity Update, more of your calls because it is conspiracy theory Thursday, okay? I know that.
