Episode Date: March 29, 2025

An hour of thoughtful, wierd and sometimes wild open phone calls on all sorts of topics.

The Bill Myer Show podcast is sponsored by Clouser Drilling. They've been leading the way in Southern Oregon well drilling for over 50 years. Find out more about them at www.clouserdrilling.com. Man, we've got a lineup of callers here. It's open phones. I'm full right now. But as they open up, and please get in, 770-5633. And we'll do a couple of weather control calls here too. So we got Mike and Elko, Lucretia, Dave, Matt's here. Matt, I can't wait to talk with you. Hold on.

Let's get to Mike and Elko. Mike, you promised you would call back. And this has to do with what you see. You used to live in Oregon. You now live in Elko. And you say you're always seeing weather control take off, huh? What say you? Well, not exactly. They don't take off from here. I don't know where they're coming from or going. Oh. But every once in a while, like two or three times a week, the sky will be full of planes. You know, they're going east to west,

north to south, straight up, straight down, creating crisscrosses in the sky. Just ridiculous. Like, there's no flight going anywhere in those directions. Okay, now that likely sounds like genuine, legitimate, experimenting, weather control, something or other. Sure. I'll give you that. I'm not going to say it's weather control. It could be the geoengineering trying to dim the sun. There's all kinds of programs going on to ignore it. Is that a typical expert? They're in fear of losing their credentials, right? So you can't get anything truthful from an expert.

Just like I want to know where the flu went, but nobody seems to, you know, answer that question. Well, yeah, the flu disappeared in 2020 and 2021. Right. There was none scientific reasoning for that. And I'll I'll believe anything after that. There was no Wuhan lab release if the flu disappeared and the death rates didn't increase till the next year when the vaccine came out. Why is that like so hard to understand and why are they using the PCR test to determine whether or not these boxes had rabies is the most ridiculous

test. It should be rejected, but no, they're going to kill everything with that stupid test. All right, Mike, appreciate the call. Thanks for checking in from Elko. Good to have you on here. Lucretia is here. Lucretia, take a bite. You want to talk about the time that Elvis

controlled the weather. I can't wait to hear this one. Now, was he at the 7-Eleven when this happened, or another place? I don't know, but the book is coming out Bill and I hope you will get the author on Michael Connor. It's coming out April 8th so one of the things he did was be able to control the weather, stop heart attacks or stop cancer. Okay now I have to be serious so it's a it's a seriously legit book

you're telling me about right? Yeah, this is all based on his wife and other people that knew him and what he did. He didn't work politically out in the open, but he was very involved in the occult, the secret stuff. Oh, is this like an occult book about Elvis? Really? Yeah, I told you about this about eight months ago. Oh, okay. See, eight months ago for you and me might be a lifetime. You know what I mean?

There's been so much craziness you and I have discussed over the years. You understand that, right? Oh, I know, Bill, but I'll send it to you again. But no, honestly, if people go to earth.noleschool.net, you're going to see on April 1st, the storms can come in about four o'clock and it's going to earth.noleschool.net you're going to see on April 1st, storms can come in about four o'clock and it's going to hit. And you've got part of the whole jet stream coming towards it, but most of it's going out, literally out into the city. See, that is government weather control. Now, Lucretia, here's the one thing is you don't believe that we are on around Earth either, right?

If I recall correctly, I've been on email trees in which you and Randy Dollinger and various other people are always talking about flat Earth. After I looked into it, I thought it was totally beyond nuts. You actually take the time to do the research of what they're showing. I think it's total nonsense, Lucretia, because even you are going to earthschool.null, which is assuming a global earth, okay? No. It's not a flat. So I'm sorry, you can't, there's a little bit, it's contradictory, Lucretia. Love you, but it's contradictory, okay? But I do want to find out more about Elvis controlling the

weather. That could be fun. Well, let me just say one last thing. The band is not natural that's coming in. They're controlling the band. It's not just spreading off across the land. They're controlling the weather. Yeah, okay. I get it. I understand. All I'm saying is that get us in touch with the puppet master. Okay. I got to go. Thank you for that, Lucretia. See, I always see I knew we were going to have a good talk there. We don't agree, but we have a good talk. All right. And I think Lucretia needs her own online weather control podcast or something. But anyway, let me go to a minor Dave. Hello, minor Dave. Welcome. Yeah, I just want to say about I talked to Captain Bill yesterday, Joel, a bunch of dogs that they're going to need to find homes for.

Okay. So I guess we're trying to work on that. Okay. Now then you wanted to talk about prevailing wage here before I get to Matt. Okay. Well, I don't know about prevailing wage, but when you work for Trees Incorporated, it's exclusively for the power company. About a year ago, I was talking to what do you call it, a tree trimmer, a journeyman. They make about $37.87 an hour, and about $4 an hour for their pension, and about $4 an hour for their pension and about $5 an hour for their health insurance.

So Judy Miniman usually make 10 or 15 bucks more an hour than that. I don't know what they're making now. If you work as a groundman like I used to do in a power station, they'd be making about 30 and then you know the same amount for pension and health insurance. So prevailing wage is a huge giveaway, right? It's a huge giveaway because it's not actually prevailing wage because the prevailing wage would be the union wage. Understood. Hey, appreciate the call. Thank you for that minor day. Let me go to Matt. Matt's in

GrantsPass. Matt, glad to hear from you this morning. I didn't get a chance to watch the BritHume, not BritHume, Red Bear, a special report yesterday. And you were telling me, I'm going to watch it a little bit later on it's the whole one with Elon Musk and Doge you're a really bright guy. I appreciate your opinion. What was your overall take from what you saw? I will watch it this weekend. I just didn't have time. I was doing other things well, I Guess two things one is Well politics all comes down to marketing, marketing, marketing.

And this was, and I'm saying this and I'm not saying it in a derogatory way, but this was a brilliant piece of marketing because this message, this should have been out a month ago. Now, maybe they didn't have enough of the savings and the examples of the fraud and the waste, but honestly, it was the best interview he's ever done with anyone. And having Elon Musk sitting there in front of them,

no note card, nothing stupid, he has business, No note card, nothing stupid. He has business, he has guys back there with business backgrounds in banking, in accounting, in engineering, in software engineering, and they're going one by one. Every one of these guys is very successful and they're all working on that. And Elon Musk made the point several weeks ago, and he's 100% correct. This is going in one of two ways. Either America was driving itself off a cliff or we had to fix this. There were no other options.

There just weren't any. And the fact is, politicians work in a political world, not in a business world, except for the few that are successful businessmen and women. You cannot run a country through politics only because it leads to failure in all cases. And that's where we were headed. So it was great for them to come out and do an honest interview and go through, they can only cover so much in regards to the example, but I will say I sat there and I was feeling sick to my stomach at the amount of theft and fraud that's in the government.

And I think like a lot of your listeners, I knew it was there, but when you finally get to it, I've been begging for this for 40 years, when you finally get to it and you hear about just the system about you have the SBA issuing loan to... Eleven-year-olds. Yeah. Right? Yeah. What about the... You know what I was most interested in? And like I said, I'm going to watch it later today. Some days the work schedule doesn't work out for me and watching a lot of TV.

What about the magic money machines, the numerous computers that Musk had talked about and alluded to them just cutting checks, not connected to any kind of actually authorized spending of some sort. They didn't touch on the specific, the magic computers that would just pump the money out. But what they did touch on is you have the Treasury, and they talk about America's bank account, where all the money is, all our money, Bill, and all your listeners, where our money is in a bank account, and the money comes, our money bill, and all your listeners, where our money is in a bank account and the money comes out from the treasury to all of these things every day, day after day after day.

And he said, there's no requirement for any paperwork to be filled out, so you can't even do an audit. And this is what he talked about in the interview. He says, you can't even do an audit because nobody marks anything on where it's going. And so you have no idea where the money got spent. What a perfect system, though. And people have to know that it's not marked. So what a perfect way to steal people blind. Bill, this is what makes me sick. I know how much money I've paid in taxes over my entire working life.

I'm almost 62 years old. I mean, I've been working for 45 years. And the amount of money that I paid over the years for my defense of my country, for safety, for security, for all these other things. And to know that every single person that lights a Tesla on fire, every single person that protests, whether you're a politician or you just, someone walk in the street, if you have any left-wing listeners, these people are insane. For some reason, they seem to think that the money's never going to end and then it's going to keep on rolling. I had a conversation with a very important person out of California recently,

and we were talking about this specific issue, and we were discussing what it would take for Oregon to turn around, what would it take for California to turn around, until these people who get all this free money go to the government, and the government literally pulls its pockets inside out and says, there is no more money. Until that happens, nothing changes. Nothing will change because they seem to believe the magic money machine will never run out of money. But the fact is, in California and in Oregon, people are leaving.

I mean, Bill... Yeah, yeah. Could you back away from the phone? I know you're very emphatic. I just don't want you to distort too much. Okay? People are leaving. I mean, Bill... Yeah, yeah. Could you back away from the phone? I know you're very emphatic. I just don't want you to distort too much. Bill Maher was just talking about this on his show. Look, the census was rigged last time they did it.

The Republicans should have a much bigger majority in the House, but they were mistakes made with the Census Bureau and they miscalculated... Right. And then you also then look at the insane pushback to the executive order to you must provide ID to vote in federal elections. You must prove that you are a citizen in order to be able to vote. And Rayfield and Tobias Reid in Oregon come unglued. What are you scared of? They're stealing our money and they're stealing our election. They're doing both and they're using the money to steal the election. This is this this kind of fraud.

But okay, people have talked about this stupid Epstein thing. Okay, I told you on the air a month or so ago. I don't care about that, okay? Until what I want is I wanna hear about that when you're indicting people. What I really wanna know, I'm following this Doge thing closely, okay? What I wanna know is I wanna know when people get indicted.

I want there to be extreme consequences for those who are committing this fraud. I wanna rest, I want there to be extreme consequences for those who are committing this fraud. I want to rest. I want prison time because every one of your listeners, everyone that can hear my voice has busted their behind. You've got a lot of senior callers like me. And we've worked very hard our whole lives to provide for ourselves, for our families and our grandkids.

And we go through all of this and then to find out this money is just being callously stolen. And they went into Social Security and talked about that, you know. Yeah, all right. 100% correct. There will be no money. There won't be money for Social Security. Yeah. I appreciate, and thank you for bringing me a take on it. I promise I'm going to watch it tonight and do a little more study up for the weekend. But I wanted to kind of get a smart guy. I know you're a smart guy. I appreciate this. And that's why I keep saying one of the best things that could happen to Oregon, to people living in the state of Oregon, is for Oregon to run out of money.

That's right. Because the way they behaved, transgender turtles running the Oregon Health Authority mental health place, a lot of that gets papered over by this ridiculous flood of money that would be coming out of the federal magic money machine for a long time. And Oregon has been eating its seed corn as it governs with stupidity, knowing that Uncle Sugar would always bail it out and I think that's gone. That's over. But like I said Bill, it's not just waste, it's fraud. It's massive, massive, trillions of dollars of fraud over the last 40 years.

And on that note, I would say, you know what they do in China when you end up committing fraud against the government and stealing money. You know what happens to you there, right? I'm sure you end up in a Uyghur camp. Actually, you're executed. They tend to execute you. Those are capital crimes. And boy, it would be great to see something like that here when it comes to the fraud in our government. Thank you for the call.

We're just going through a lot of fun, open topics on anything that happens beyond your mind. And Tom, you are a retired commercial airline pilot.

Isn't that right, Tom? That's correct. That's correct. Okay. I've been retired for 25 years. Okay. All right. So where are you on the ConTrail issue? I'm curious. It's bogus. It's insane. You know, if whoever is doing the chemtrail thing that they talk about, how would they avoid breathing in these toxins? You know, they're up there flying through the stuff. The president himself flies a hell

of a lot, as well as all of his secretaries and what have you. Yeah. The other thing, what I wanted to ask you though also, what about, in fact, Bonnie ended up writing me and saying, Bill, it was either on your show or Lars' sometime in the last year, that there's a difference between two types of contrails. Now as a pilot, do you know if there's two types of contrails, one that lingers a certain way and the other dissipates? Do you know? Well, yes. The contrails actually, there's probably more than two types of contrails. The engines, the jet engines, there were the four runners, the early... I grew up in Southern California, the heart of the

I grew up in Southern California, the heart of the aircraft industry. My God, over L.A. there, out over the Catalina Channel, the contrails were testing airplanes every day, every manufacturer, Lockheed, Douglas, North American. The sky was full of contrails because the early engines were not what they call high bypass engines. The temperatures were lower and all the air that entered the engine went through various compression stages and mixed with fuel. the fuel, then the advent of the fan engine, otherwise known as the high bypass, a lot of the air. In other words, a little less likely to generate contrail.

Is that kind of what you're getting at here, when it's a high bypass, the fan one? Even though they're much larger and much more powerful, they're much less likely to generate a contrail. All right. OK, hey, you wanted to comment on Matt's call? You wanted to make something on that briefly? Go ahead. Well, the way the governmental waste, you have to go through all these hoops

with your social security and ID and everything. My goodness gracious. Wouldn't it piss you off if you were staying in a hotel someplace and you're paying upwards of $100, $200, maybe even $300 a night for a room and a person in the room right next door to you has got a free room and he's an illegal who's walked his way to America, United States, or even worse, been flown for free as a taxpayer. It makes you wonder what you sent the money in for. Tom, I appreciate the call. Thanks for that. Let me grab another one. Thank you, Tom. Hi, yeah, it makes you wonder what you sent the money in for. Tom, I appreciate the call. Thanks for that. Let me grab another one. Thank you, Tom. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Oh, this is Tom, another Tom. Another Tom, two Toms in a row. Let's hear it.

Hey, let me just say, Bill, that the Oregon government is like Lenin's tomb. It's a communist plot. A communist plot. That's a good one. I'm going to have to remember that, Tom. OK. You have a good weekend. Hey, you too. That kind of reminds me. I haven't done a dad joke today because we've had a lot of serious conversation, a lot of serious things going on.

So we need another palate cleanser. We've got the communist plot as it is, right? Dad jokes. And those are sponsored by friends over at Two Dogs Fabricating.

Well, thank you, this would be Gregory out in Shady Cove.

Hello, Gregory. I'm going to inquire about the prevailing wage. And my question is that Panademic Barn that they're building out by the expo. Oh, the pandemic, yeah, the grant stream funding that went there to build that, yeah, yeah. Oh, that streaming grant streaming is paying for that. All right. Thank you for a lot of bit of information today. Always informative. All right. Thank you very much, Gregory. Yep.

I think that was I don't know how much matching funds had to go into that. Might have to talk with with Danny about it. But I think it's called free government money. Get a free building. You just have to say it's for the pandemic. Unless it's another plandemic. I know it's not conspiracy theory Thursday. I shouldn't even said that. I'm being very irresponsible. I'll stop now. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Good morning. Good morning. It's Deplorable Patrick Bill. Hi DP. Hey, when you see, particularly in the winter, you see cars that have got water coming out of the exhaust pipe.

You see that? Yes. And that means they aren't very far from home. It means they just started up. The water will eventually, as the car warms up, it will turn to steam. It'll be so warm by the time it gets out the exhaust pipe, you no longer see it. And George Mosier was telling us, this is connected in the auto shop, whereas in high school, for every gallon of gas that goes through your car, more than a gallon of water comes out of the

tailpipe. That's because when you take hydrogen from the fuel and oxygen from the air and you bash them together in combustion, a product of combustion is water. Along with CO2 and various other ingredients, right? That's where your contrails come from. Now I'm not denying everything because I think I've seen pictures of stuff coming out from the tips of the wings of these jets which would be a separate nozzle not coming out the exhaust but so I'm willing to entertain that but but contrails you probably only have one collar in your whole group here that's old enough to remember

seeing a B-36 flying. That's the 10-engine bomber. Those piston engines made contrails because again, it was just combustion. Whether it's a jet or whether it's a piston you bash the water I mean you bash the oxygen in the air together with hydrogen in the fuel you get water which appears as water vapor until it dissipates all right where contrails and by the way you can arguably say that that air travel with so much air travel air travel probably has increased a bit of cloud

cover in the country wouldn't you say overall because You know that even when 9-eleven happened and then they shut down air travel. It is amazing your your contrails Disappeared it's true Yeah, and the actual air was cleaner, but that doesn't mean I want to walk every time I go to court point well taken Thank You DP. I appreciate that. 770-5633. Let us talk now about the Diner 62 real American quiz. You've had all sorts of seriousness,

The U.S. Department of Education has pulled money from some colleges and universities in Oregon after they received waivers from the Biden administration to give federal grants to students in the country illegally. The state's P3 waivers were immediately revoked Thursday. The waivers are for the TRIO program which was created to help fund low income and challenged American students pay for college. Locally it'll affect OIT, SOU along with Klamath and Rogue Community Colleges. The Oregon Health Authority says federal cuts to COVID era grants is a loss of 117 million dollars to the state. The money was used to create Oregon's 988 crisis

line and filled gaps in substance use treatment, prevention, and recovery services. It was also used for the equity office in the public health division. The number of prescriptions for doctor assisted suicide in Oregon increased last year, but the number of deaths declined. There were 376 deaths, which was down about 3% from 2023. Bill London, KMED. 843-962, Real American Quiz. We've got a bunch of people lined up. They'd like to get that $20 gift certificate so they can stuff themselves with some great diner food. As always, Vicki's the first one. Hello Vicki, how you doing?

Oh good, wait, oh man, I want one of their hamburgers. I had that and oh, they're heavenly. Oh yeah, that Diner 62, the one that has the hamburger and the ham on top of that, great combo, really is. Now then, Vicki, it was today in history in 1979. I was a senior in high school when this happened and I remember it like yesterday. Now then, Vicki, it was today in history in 1979. I was a senior in high school when this happened and I remember it like yesterday.

4 a.m., one of the worst accidents in history. It happens when a pressure valve in the Unit 2 reactor at Three Mile Island fails to shut down. Now cooling water that had radiation in it drained from a broken pressure valve into all the adjoining buildings and then the core started to overheat. And after that, emergency cooling pumps went into operation. Now, if it had been left alone, that actually would have prevented the development of a larger crisis.

However, human operators in the control room, they misread the readings and they shut off the emergency water system. Oops. The reactor was also shut down, but the residual heat from the fission process still being released by early morning, the core was 4,000 degrees. Just 1,000 degrees short of a meltdown, but needless to say, Vicki, that's pretty darn hot core, okay? Now then, after the radiation leak was discovered, two days later, residents advised to stay indoors. Experts were uncertain if a hydrogen bubble that had formed would create further meltdown or maybe blow the place up.

Governor Dick Thornburg advising pregnant women and preschool age children to evacuate. So how far out, Vicki, did the governor advise this group to go to be safe from possible radiation? This, of course, pregnant-aged preschool age children. Was it three miles? A. B. five miles. C. ten miles. D. twenty, fifteen miles. Or E. twenty miles. What was the safety zone for the pregnant women and the kids from Three Mile Island? What do you say? I think it was fifteen. You think it was 15? I would have thought 15 too. That's what I guessed and I was wrong when Brian

was telling me that. I'm so sorry. All right, let me go to Logan. Hey Logan, how you doing? Hey Bill, good. What were the choices again? Okay, well three miles, five miles, ten miles, or twenty miles? What was the safety zone that the governor ended up telling people to evacuate to? Let's go middle of the road at 10 miles. 10 miles! That's not bad. Unfortunately, it's not the one. It's amazing. Could it be either more or less? I don't know. Let me go to Tom. Hello, Tom. How you doing? Good morning. So it's three. Fine. It's three miles, like the name, five miles or 20 miles name, five miles or

20 miles. How many miles did Governor Dick Thornburg of Pennsylvania tell people to evacuate from? Five miles. Good day for you, Tom. You got it. He recommended the sensitive group to leave within a five-mile radius until further notice. And I don't know if you were around then at that point, Tom, but April 1st, President Jimmy Carter, he ended up showing up there to inspect it. Of course, he was a trained nuclear engineer and he was trying to calm people down about that. Now, at the height of the crisis here, Tom, plant workers were exposed to unhealthy levels

of radiation, but no one outside of Three Mile Island had their health affected by the accident and no one died. Nonetheless the incident pretty much eroded the public's faith in nuclear power. That unharmed unit one reactor at Three Mile Island which was shut down during the crisis didn't resume operating till 1985. Cleanup continued on unit two until 1990. Too damaged to be usable again. And now there's talk that the high tech bros want to get another one of those reactors going again. Because, well, I guess data centers. But Tom, we're going to send you to diner 62.

What you're thinking about the particular areas here All right. Okay. Oregon said, I couldn't believe this one. I'm seeing this story. You know, if anybody you know has received unemployment insurance in the state of Oregon, they've had to get their unemployment forms replaced now

for three years in a row, because there's tax forms. They give you a tax form at the end of the year to show how much unemployment you received a guess and and how much of it is taxable etc etc 1099 G in the Oregonian reporting that for the third year in a row they're sent out and they're all wrong third year in a row they've done it three years in row, we can't even get the unemployment, the unemployment tax warms out there. Well, the employment department blames this year's mistakes on its transition from an obsolete computer system

the agency has relied on since the 1990s to a new system implemented last year. It affected about 5% of them. Hopefully, Doge, come on to Oregon. I think Doge would have such a fun time in Oregon, don't you? I think it'd be hilarious, but let me go to line one. Hi, good morning.

It is Find Your Phone Friday. Who's this? Hello? Hi, can you hear me? Yep, sure can. Who's this? Hi, this is Dino. Hey, D, Gino, is that a washing machine in the background or is that another piece of machinery?

It's my treadmill. Sorry about that. Oh, your treadmill. Oh, okay. All right. You're exercising. Good for you. What's up, Dino? I just have a question about the commercial that your station runs about crib bands voting to reduce the Medicare and Social Security yes and that's really not a truth true statement at all no I don't think it's a true statement at all it's a political ad purchased by a group called Oregonians for democracy and I really can't tell you much about them I don don't know. I've never heard of them

So you so you have to run that huh? Yeah, if you accept a political advertising and we do because we are a business you you accept it all And I don't know if you realize this especially with with federal ones with a way There are very few limitations you can place on that if I understand the FCC rules pretty much. But you know, they can say almost anything you want in a political ad. You can also lie in a political ad. It's true. Yeah, I don't know if you realize that. You can lie in a political ads. Okay. That's hard to

believe. Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate it. Yep, yep. And by the way, what's your treadmill up to? What's your beats per minute? I do six miles an hour. Good for you. Good for you. I think the most I could ever do is about five and a half and then when I get to six I just collapse on myself. Maybe five is really it. But all right. Well, the older I get, the faster I used to be. I love that. That's great, Gino. Thanks for the call. All right. Bye-bye. Yeah. Yeah, it's just it. We are a business and if somebody wants to buy a political ad, we're certainly not going to say no because, hey, I have expensive cat kibble that I

have to pay for. So Oregonians for democracy, I think they must be convincing people that, yeah, I don't know if I can agree with anything they're saying there. Let me go to the next line. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hello? Yes, good morning. This is Tracy up in Mount Vernon in Washington. Can you hear me okay? Tracy, you sound great. How you been? Okay, great. Well, you forgot to add the most important thing about the political commercials from a business perspective is that you have to charge them the lowest rate by FCC laws. Yes, I did forget to mention that, didn't I? Yeah.

Yeah, they get the best deal and you know why they do this? No idea. Well, politicians end up putting people that run the FCC. Ah, okay. Isn't that great? That makes sense. That makes sense. And so what are... Now this is another interesting little thing. People will say, Bill, you have to give me equal time.

I'm running for city council and that person said something wrong about me. I said, actually, no, I don't have to give you equal time. You know when I do have to give you equal time is if you're running for a federal office That's the rule see most of these most of these rules are all about federal office holders in federal offices because we are a Federally regulated business with a broadcast license. So isn't that cool? that's so now we all know that behind the behind the whatever the mirror. So the Congress creditors do so the Congress creditors do everything possible along with the senators and the president to

make sure that you know, it's it's easier for them to advertise you want to make sure okay. Yeah, just I want to do I I know you're short on time here. I just wanted to comment on what's going on up here north, close to the border. Okay. Things are getting really bad. Mr. Trump has awakened a friendly, butt friendly sleeping giant. Oh yeah?

Canadians are voting with their pocketbook. The town of Blaine, which is right on the border there, their retail sales are down like 30%. Really? Yeah. Oh yeah. Canadians are not traveling to the States. I saw something in Simply Flying the other day where bookings for US-Canada routes in some cases are down 70%.

Now this is far out projections. Maybe they'll change the mind as the summer goes on. But no, there's some very serious anger up north and They're voting with their pocketbook and because the Canadian dollar the toonie and the loony are so weak Makes sense also from an economic standpoint So I would imagine that that Canadian tourism will be affected. They are pretty butthurt about this. Oh will be affected. They are pretty butthurt about this. Oh they're very angry and and unfortunately Mr Trump still doesn't realize you know it takes a little bit of time to build a new aluminum smelter or a steel mill. It's not something you can just turn around on a dime and even if you

can there's no electricity. BC Hydro is going to now give you a big fat surcharge for that electricity and the grid is pretty is starting to fill up here with all those data centers down south so it's smelter or data center. What do you want? Yeah I think I'd rather have a smelter truth be told it's actually something tangible rather than getting everybody into the AI screen but that's just me Tracy. What about you? Yeah I'll take a smelter but we don't have anything here right now and all those aluminum factories are up in Quebec where the hydro is cheap and they're not planning to move down south. What do you think is

going to happen given that you're up in Washington State? You're there on the border you can see both sides of this one. My concern about Trump going tariffy is that tariff wars just don't seem to really end all that well, generally speaking. I'm just hoping that tariff wars don't end up in shooting wars. Not that I would be worried about Canada shooting at us necessarily, but you know what I'm getting at overall, in the grand scheme of things? I agree. I think I'm

really looking forward to Wheels Up Wednesday with Eric Peters so he can talk about the tariffs and the especially the impact on our allies in South Korea and Japan. They are not too happy right now. Well what I get concerned about too is when I read about what the real-life consequences will be for car dealers. You know, car dealers are a big deal. They're a big pillars of the community, a big major part of economic activity. And when you tell somebody just because your car all of a sudden that one day it's this

and the next day is $7,000 more, in fact, that's what the Wall Street Journal is reporting this morning, that you can expect anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000 more in fact that's what the Wall Street Journal is reporting this morning and you can expect anywhere from five to seven thousand dollars Increase on a price instantly on a vehicle That ends up being imported now. There are exceptions Hyundai Kia Hyundai Kia President Trump has given them an You know an exemption because they're going to be building a plant here, but I don't know that's a big deal Tracy that's big deal messing and it is and like the politicians the car dealers are one of your big advertisers and you know if they selling like a German car or

something or a Volvo made in China or in Sweden I mean that's that's the bottom line yeah exactly well glad hearing from your perspective from up north of the border what's gonna happen I don't know is the status quo the way we've been tariffing and taking tariffs acceptable no is this the way to go I don't have an answer kind of above my pay grade but we can talk more about that Monday for sure in my email bill at Bill at BillMeyersShow.com.
