This hour of the Bill Myers 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 Klausurrilling.com. And it's nine minutes after eight. And joining me right now is Holly. Holly, you wanted the way in on the conversation we were having. A little bit of Joe County stuff. Fire away. Go ahead.

Well, I think citizens of the county are starting to put the pieces together of how all of this has come down the road. I mean, we saw years ago when they started, we got elected commissioners that we really thought were going to do a good job. And immediately they started attacking them, including doing ethics violations, none of which have proven to be true. But after the recalls and all the baloney paths, the ethics violation had been adjudicated. And none of them were found to be correct. But we managed to get rid of people who were really interested in straightening out this budget situation. and we're taking steps to do that. So you guys, I think Jane Meredith's was involved in the recalls, if I'm not mistaken.

And so, you know, people are starting to recognize that there's some funny stuff going on. Then after they got rid of the commissioners, Ron did what Ron did. We were down to one commissioner, Ron bailout. And so that threw it back into the hands of the scum club that Ron Smith correctly named, frankly. Well, I mean, he's the one who talked about that. He was right when he talked about that, that situation there, wasn't he? Not in my opinion, but it. Well, no, wasn't Ron the one that came up with the term, the scum club?

It came up with the term, what? Wasn't Ron the one that came up with the term the scum club, essentially the employees, you know, the department heads, essentially running things? I thought he was the one that came up with that. Well, he may have, but then what happened is ultimately the decisions that he made put the department heads in a position to make the decision to choose the commissioner. Yeah, and that's what I was getting, though. And, you know, we're not going to fix this right now. Let's just see what happens next hour, okay?

And then we'll have a better idea for tomorrow. Okay? How about that? All right. People need to keep a close eye on this, though. There's a lot of funny business going on. Yeah, everyone. Well, all that I think we could all agree.

Nils Gruevilius is going to join me here in a couple of minutes here. And by the way, we are live from the Army Navy Marine Store. And if you're planning your next, well, it's the studio, it's what we call it. It's not from the store itself. Got to head out there, though.

Now more with Bill Meyer. It's quarter after eight. Supposed to talk with Nils Gravilius. He is nowhere to be found. But he could be detecting something at this moment. We'll get him back on. He's always an interesting cat, being a private detective. interesting world. The last lawman is his latest book here.

And let's see. But there's still plenty of other news I wanted to go over this morning on conspiracy theory Thursday. So, you know, that means I turn it over to you. 7705-633-770KMED. My email, Bill at Bill Myers Show.com. They've been talking a lot about budgeting and money and things like that. I want to get your opinion, especially if you live in Ashland. You don't have to live in Ashland, but what is going on here? The Ashland City Council, I would, was watching NBC 5 last night, Kiobei 5. And they brought up this story of what happened earlier this week.

The Ashland City Council decides to consider a new community wildfire resiliency bond. They did a 5-to-1 vote in this past Monday. And in other words, what the city wants to do is borrow a bunch of money and have all the residents pay it back. Have all the residents pay it back. and because they would be paying at least what they're suggesting, about $26 extra a month. So about another $300 a year. And then they take all this money, this $48 million bond,

and then they would dole it out and they would help make other, well, they would help make homes that are at risk of burning up in wildfire. They'd harden them. And I guess it'd be like up to $3,000 in benefits for these various homes. They'd be able to do about a half of it. And they were talking about, you know, all the problems that they're having. The potential of wildfire risk is just, you know, really bad. And a lot of people are in a bad way.

There was one, what is it, Counselor DeKane? It was saying a lot of people are in a bad way. So when I look at this coming in front of the people, $33 per month, that's gas, that's food. The way I look at it is implementing this right now is not the time. but the rest of the county of the, I'm sorry, city council, ended up disagreeing with her, and they voted for this, and they're going to be looking at this. And, I mean, I don't know if that means they're going to come over and do weed whacking for you.

But the part that I do find interesting with the Ashland City Council is that it's already a very highly taxed city. It's a very expensive place to live even right now. And I'm just curious, will we hear anybody at the Ashland? city council and say, why don't we have any affordable housing? Well, you go after every school bond, you go for a wildfire resiliency bond, you know, it all kinds of adds up after a while, right? You know, those apartments, they would have to do that, right? And the other thing is that is the city of Ashland the right people to put in charge of wildfire

resiliency in the first place? Wildfire resiliency. What is Lomacazzi going to come over in weed whack at your home? We had the collaborators come over, you know, the collaborative rackets. I don't know. It's one of those conspiracy theory Thursday things just kind of got me going here this morning. We have that story. There's another one that this is an odd one.

This is a really odd story. Oregon Capital Chronicle reporting that the... Okay. I never thought that I would see the cost of fuel. being sold this way as a bad thing. But the increasing costs of fuel for cars and airplanes are adding extra strain to abortion funds that help people pay to travel for care in other states. Leaders of several funds said this week,

abortion funds can help when someone must travel from their home state to a state where care is available. Oh, yeah. Abortion care. Don't take my health care away. Yes, that often includes people living in one of the 13 states with a near total abortion ban, but it also encompasses those who need to travel because of gestational limits in other states. You need to come to Oregon, where the child can be 30 seconds away from being born.

But, oops, boop, you can do the abortion, right? That's the way this state is. I'm surprised we haven't said you can't just abort the kid after the child is born. but I'm sure that'll be coming here in the near future. So they had these donation funds that help pay for abortion trafficking. In other words, they let traffic people to come here and get their abortions in Oregon. And the Oregon Capital Chronicle is complaining that the rising cost of fuel and other things is squeezing these abortion traffickers. What do you think about that?

Are you crying a lot? Of all the ways to say, oh, man, we need to get to. that Iran war over so we can get the cost of fuel coming down so we can get more abortion people to come to Oregon to have abortions because it's too expensive because of the fuel costs and the jet fuel costs and the tickets, the plane tickets. Next, we're going to see an Oregon Capital Chronicle stories talking about, oh my gosh, you know, the transgender's trafficking to come here. It's too expensive for them to fly here. We have to come up with more money and pay for the plane ticket to get them here too. I wouldn't put that past the

the state of Oregon, would you? 21 minutes after 8. What's on your mind? This is the Bill Meyer show. Line 1, you're up. Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Who's this? Oh, Bill, William.

Hey, they need to... This is Logan. Oh, hey, Logan. What's up? You know, they change that word abortion to make it sound so friendly. But, you know, they need to just use the... No, no, no, no.

Hold on, hold on. The friendly word, this is it. Don't take my health care away. It's health care. It's health care. It's child sacrifice is what it is. Okay. But that's not why I'm calling.

You know, this isn't a conspiracy as much, because I remember you hitting on this a couple years back. We, the city of Medford last night, you know, we inducted our new chief Arnold. He's a nice guy. I like our new chief Arnold. I've got to speak with him. He knew what happened to me, and he said, you know, there's nothing I could do. So, I mean, he's a cool guy. At least he's approachable.

But what are the odds that he reaches the top of the tier peer system and then he retires and we replace him. What do you think the odds of that happening again are? Oh, the odds are that about three years in one day, I think. Isn't that the way it normally works here? William, this bill. It's how it works. I mean, this is not a conspiracy.

No, no. It's right out there in the open. I think you have to be there. It's the final three years. So Chief Arnold will probably there three years in one day, or maybe three and a half years just to make it look good, you know, that kind of thing. We just said that because we just said it. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, everybody gets to be police chief at least once, and this is to pad the purrs. It's the racket. It's a horrible racket. It's highly corrupt. It is the rules, though. And everybody in every government agency, if they can get away with it, they do it. That's how it works.

And it's the truth. You know, when I spoke with our sheriff Nathan Sickler about two months ago, and I said, and I said, do you realize the corruption going on this valley? You know what he said to me, what his response was? What's that? It's everywhere, Logan. And I looked at him in his face, in his eyes, and I said, Nathan, you're the highest law of the land.

If you don't stop it, it's because of you. If you don't, he's the only one who can stop it. All right, I'll ask him about that. Logan, I appreciate the call. 770KMED. Let me go to the next line here on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Heard a good one lately. Good morning.

Hi, who's this? Hello? Hello? Oh, it's Crazy Gene. Hi, Crazy Gene. Yes, it is. I was just calling this has nothing to do with the current subject, which I usually do. But does anybody that watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Have you noticed Devil's Tower what it really looked like? Yeah, I haven't seen that movie in years and years had. Remember, was it Richard Dreyfus was on it? And they had the, I remember the train lights, you know, waving back and forth when the UFO came and, you know, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But Devil's Tower, is that Wyoming? Where is that? South Dakota?

Wyoming. Wyoming. Yeah, Wyoming. Okay. Yeah, Wyoming. It's a real mountain. Yeah. But if you really look at it, look with open eyes and, you know, with some curiosity,

that's a tree stump, a petrified tree stump. You say that's a petrified tree stump or it looks like one? No, it is a petrified tree stump. That's an awfully big tree stump, if that's the case. Oh, yeah. It's a tree stump. that was probably five and a half mile tall when it was alive. Uh-huh.

Yeah. I don't know. I'd go back and check your biology on that one, Gene. Dear God, you know, I love you, though. You know I love you. Yeah. Well, thanks for bigger back then. Well, of course, B.

Yeah, humans, too. We probably had, you know, mile high bipeds, too. Thanks for the call. 770KMED. I love crazy conspiracy theory Thursday calls. Good morning. Hi. Who's this?

Morning, Bill. It's Scotty, Mercedes-Benz driver, and part-time rancher farmer. Hey, I just want to say something about jet fuel and high-performance cars to always be there, even with electric assist. That's more of a practical type and more sustainable. I don't see electric Boeing 788 up there, 88, you know, in the future. So we're relying on it. You know, we've got to get our prices down on fuel. Well, look at it this way, though, Scott. What if we're going to go down conspiracy theory, what if there actually is unlimited energy with like, let's say, zero point energy like physicists are now saying?

And that anybody who had the ability to give that to humanity was liquidated? I don't know. We've got some big sledgehammers out there, don't we? Yeah, yeah, we do. Anyway, I don't know. I don't know. That technology may not be profitable for the powers that be, right? I mean, come on.

Wouldn't it be amazing, though? I mean, truly to have free energy. That'd be absolutely awesome. Magnets. The opposing magnets work really good, you know, the human generators. Well, on that note, is there something else? Are you in the drive-through? Oh, no.

I have, you know, Bill Meyer on the radio. Oh, okay. Yeah, you got to turn the road. radio on there. Oh, yeah, yeah. So my conspiracy is, well, why are we running more of these electric drones and flying people around? Must be a conspiracy, huh, Bill? Yeah, I think it's called Power to Weight ratio, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks for the call there, Scotty. Power to wait. It's still tough on the electric vehicle for now, but there could be the magic, the magic eight-ball batteries that'll be coming in the future. It's always just around the corner.

Good morning, KMED. Hi, who's this? Hey, this is Lauren, Not an Eagle Point. Lauren and Eagle Point. What's up? First thing I want to say is, I don't care. They can raise my gas all they want if they stop coming babies. In other words, if that's going to stop abortion, I don't care how much I have to pay for gas.

I'll be $10 a gallon. You know, I was wondering if somebody would bite on that, Lauren. I really was because they're complaining that we're not able to traffic enough abortion patients here because of the... So sorry. I know. I'll bet you were crying in your beer there, weren't you? But that's not the reason I called. I mean, the reason I called is to say, I'm on the budget committee for the city of Eagle Point.

And by the way, Eagle Point City budget is the, our taxes are the lowest in the county. I think maybe there's one lower. And that's tied to point. But the point I wanted to make was we are living on reserves. We have been for a year or two and maybe for the next three without having to raise our rates. Our people got a 3% raised in payment. I mean, wages, that's the word they want. Yeah.

And so, but do you know that out of the every dollar of taxes that I pay here, we pay here in a equal point, the city only gets 18 cents of that? I couldn't believe that when I saw that the first time. Okay, so every dollar of, well, I think that the basic levy for a central point, or I'm sorry, Eagle Point, pardon me, where you are, would be relatively low like most of the cities are. It's pretty modest, but the vast majority is probably going, I would imagine, to the education districts, right? In the school district, and I'm on the budget to me for the school district nine as well, and we don't have enough money to do anything. But we don't want to raise taxes. I don't want to raise taxes, but how in the world do you pay for what you want?

Yeah. You know, when I go to the store, I don't like paying for what I have to pay, but if I want it, I buy it. Yeah, we might have to be moderating in our various cities and counties on what we want. That's what it amounts to. And, of course, I don't know Josephine County. I don't know if I could even live or be on any kind of committees up there. It's Wild West, like we've said many times. But anyway, I just wanted to get that in that only 18 cents out of every dollar.

Of course, that includes schools. It includes fire department, you know, such as that in that dollar. But anyway, but yeah, we've got the lowest taxes around, but we don't want to raise them and that's for sure. But you know, Lauren, it raises an issue here that we've often talked about here. You know, the division of power and federalism and the federal, if the federal government and even the state government was doing what it was supposed to be doing, our federal taxes would be incredibly tiny.

We'd probably be paying just for, you know, the military, and that would be about it, really. Yeah. And then imagine having high local tax. taxes and maybe less high county taxes and then less high state. And then wouldn't it be interesting if you actually had all that money that would normally be sent to Uncle Sugar? And then we beg for a grand stream funding to come back and then we beg the state to have somebody would come back. Wouldn't it, wouldn't we be better off having high local taxes than actually hiring people and being able to throw out the people who control that locally? Wouldn't that be great?

I don't know that's far beyond my imagination, right? Yeah, I know none of us have lived under it. That's why. Appreciate the call. Thank you, Lauren. Good morning, KM.D. This is Bill. Who's this?

Oh, this would be Gregory out in Shadicoe. Wanted to talk about the bicycle trail and the homeless. Okay. Now, I just, first off, wanted to say, this is, you are Gregory Philpott, correct? Oh, darn. I wanted it to be anonymous, but it is true. Okay. No, it's all right.

Well, the reason I brought this up, though, is that you asked me if we had any of those grills left. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the, oh gosh, what's the guy's name? I forget. Curtis? There's something like that? Oh, gosh.

You know, here it is. I talk about them all the time, but anyway, yes, I do have one of the Fox 26 barbecue grills for you, and I'll put your name on it, okay? Quite well there. All right. Yeah, Fox 26. Thank you. I'll take it out.

Yes. I'll take that on my bicycle ride when I'm on the homeless trail. But I was just wondering. By the way, Gordon Ramsey's Secret Service. That's what it is. Okay. Thank you. I just remember the show.

Got it. I caught it. This is good. And then my main question was about the bicycle trail. Who was sponsoring that? And why did it get discontinued? Wasn't it supposed to go to Grant's Pass and Ashland? Okay.

Which bicycle trail are you talking about? Well, there's the Greenway. Oh, the Greenway. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the greenway goes up, you know, through Jackson County. I think it, I believe it heads at least a Gold Hill.

I don't know. I have to check that. I haven't ridden it for a while. Oh, well, the short story is that you can ride the Greenway from that rogue state park, almost to Gold Hill, but then it discontinues. And then you can ride it from Central Point almost to Blackwell Road, and it discontinues. So they need to continue it through Gold Hill down Ashland so that all the homeless could see the beautiful community. Oh, okay.

So in other words, complete the bicycle pathways so that way we have better transportation options for our homeless. Okay, all right. The phrase is trafficking the homeless. Okay, well, I'm about ready to take back your grill. I'm just kidding you. You can still have the grill, okay? Thanks. Oh, that's nice.

No, thank you. All righty. 770KMED. If you're out hold, I will be right with you. We'll continue. It's open phones on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. There's a lot of craziness to go around. 7705-633-7-0KMED.

Brought to you by Lithia Body and Paint on Bullock Road in Medford. The Joe Pag Show. Oh, yeah, that Eric Swalwell still for some reason was getting mad support by the left. And one wonders why this information, these allegations are coming out now against Eric Swalwell, when some people say they've known about it for more than 10 years. One guy says 13 years ago, I was covering Swalwell, and I saw how he treated women. This guy allegedly a reporter.

Why didn't you report it then? Why didn't you say so? The Joe Pag Show, evening 6 to 8 on KMED. News Talk 1063, KMED. You're waking up with the Bill Myers Show. When I grow up someday, when I grow up, I don't know if I want Joe Pag's voice, or do I want John B. Wells' voice?

Ark midnight. We'll see. I'll just have to put up with the way it is right now. 835 on Conspiracy Theory Thursday. Brad's here. Hey, Brad? You wanted to talk about Kevin Leary, Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful, right? That guy, the Shark Tank fellow?

Yeah, good morning to the award-winning Bill Meyer. Bill, what's the deal? So, Shark Tank Bill. area apparently has discovered hundreds of paper corporations that link back to an outfit called Arabella, which is linked to Neville Roy Shingham, that is providing what looks like grassroots opposition to any of the data centers or power generation. And this is a project that Kavanauleri has been working on for a couple of years, and he's wondering where all this opposition is coming from. And it's literally, uh,

almost anywhere you want to do something in the United States, this grassroots-looking opposition pops up, and they're funded by these nonprofits. That's why he's been able to look at it. Every nonprofit has to file what's called a 990 form with the IRS, but they're all leading back to this outfit called Arabella, and these are all linked to Neville Roy Shingham, which is linked to the CCP. What's going on here? Well, I haven't studied that deeply, other than the fact that, now I know.

know that the right wing, including Kevin, and I'm considering myself right wing, we will always go out of our way to say, hey, this is a problem and this is, hey, we're doing communist China's bidding, but is there a reasonable position to take that maybe we shouldn't be happy about data centers popping up everywhere? Well, if you're China and if you're in a global competition for AI and to be and to participate in that competition, if you need power and data centers, if you can get the other side to shoot themselves in the foot and not participate in that place, you're going to be ahead of the game.

Well, you know, I tend to look at data centers a little differently than maybe you do, and this doesn't mean I'm a lover of communist China, but as far as I'm concerned, the data centers will end up being used in this country, at least, to database us. That's really what I think is more about, Brad. And I have mixed emotions about this. Oh, you're right. No, I agree with you on that. And so maybe China, I don't, you know, but yet you would think that China would be okay.

The thing is, though, essentially China, I think AI is used to more often than not bring in the China-style society here, the digital-based currencies, the surveillance everywhere you go, everything you do, everything you buy, database, save, shared, sold. and of course, a fewer and fewer things, more and more things in fewer and fewer hands. That's my opinion about it. I could be absolutely wrong. The fact that Arabella is in on trying to stop it doesn't cheer me necessarily, though. They may be against it for a different reason. You may be very well 100% right on that. And the other thing that's troubling to people like us is this Arabella outfit is also linked to all of these social protest deals.

that have been going on, they have been organizing and funding and providing infrastructure for that, and it all links back to the same outfit and the same guy. Yeah, and I would dare say that what China would want to see hair happen is whether or not, not whether or not there's the AI race, but whatever would cause more chaos here. Whatever could be more chaotic or divisive. That's kind of where I'm thinking that would be going. That could be it. I have to find somebody.

In fact, I think Scott Walter, I used to talk with Scott Walter about Arabella. He wrote a book about that. I'll invite him back. Okay, all right. Sounds great. All right. Thank you for the call. Brad.

Let me go to Wes. Wes is here. Wes, you had a funny comment about Sonny David. Go ahead. Yeah, hi, Bill. I think Sunny David might deserve his own theme music at this point. Because you did a great job with the Age of Aquarius for Ludacretia. Yes.

That was amazing. And I'm just going to throw in a suggestion maybe you. could have your people vote on. I think it should be, it's a beautiful morning by the rascals. Oh. You know, that's a great idea. You see if I could find it. I'm pretty sure I have that here. Well, you know, next time he calls and all that. No, I'm looking here right now. I just want to make sure I just wanted to try it out. And let's see, no, not Rascal Flats. Don't care of a Rascal Flats. Nothing wrong about Rascal Flats. Oh, here we go. Yep, here it is. This would be Sunny David's

theme then. Yeah. You got the little psychedelic feel, you know, coming in there and medicinal marijuana. It's a beautiful morning. Yeah. I like that, Wes. The opening line. Okay. All right. Thanks for the call. Yes, indeed. Let me go to Bob. Bob's in Ashland. Oh, no, Bob's in Medford. Pardon me. Bob Shan. Hello, Bob. Hey, good morning, Bill. Yeah, I just wanted to chime. on Ashland's a million dollar bond for fire hardening. Boy, it's like a $41 million bond. That's what they're talking about. Yeah.

Well, Jacksonville did some kind of fire hardening program, you know, with their fire department and all that, and they become a fire safe community. I don't think they passed millions of dollars of bonding to do that. It seems like there's pressure from the million-dollar homeowners up there in the foothills of Ashland to have somebody else subsidize their work for them. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. You know, you're up there. They're talking the 50% doing the 50% most impacted homes,

and they probably would be the people higher in the hills. That does make sense, I suppose. Yeah. Well, it's always the rich people want somebody else to subsidize their work for. Now, you know what's going to happen? A rich person from Ashland is going to call me and say, I am not doing that. In fact, I would think most of the wealthy people at Ashland

would have already hardened their properties, don't you? Yeah, they can afford land. Yeah. Exactly. Oh, speaking of, speaking of landscapers, did you catch that K-O-B-I story the other night about the East Applegate Ridge Trail? Did you see that one by chance? Yeah. Yeah. And of course, they took the kind of the take of Luke Riddiger with the Applegate Sisku Alliance at face value. It says, the East Applegate Ridge Trail is under threat of logging from the Bureau of Land Management. that is not asserted, but it is under threat. And you find that interesting? Yeah, you know, you've got to take some of the logs out. I don't think it's going to ruin the trail. No, I didn't think so either.

But you have to remember Luke Riddiger, and the moment he put Luke Riddiger on the screen, I'm sure he's a perfectly fine guy, but he's the same guy a few years ago that stood up in a meeting out of the Applegate and said that I love the smell of wildfire, smoke in the summer because I know that the forest is being restored. Can't have it both ways.

I suppose not. Yeah. Hey, can I have a theme song? Sure. What would you like? Joan Jett. Don't give a damn about my reputation. I'll find that too.

That's a good one. Okay. All right. Good going. It's 843 at KMED. 770-5633. and if you have a great conspiracy theory call or an idea or you just want to say hi, we'll be right back.

Bad reputation. That's 847 at KMED. Let me go to Vicky. Vicki. Earlier this morning, I was talking about a Democratic policy paper that Senator Ron Weiden and apparently Senator Jeff Merkley had signed. And it had to do with promising care.

caregiver like a let me see if I can dig this up here it's so busy other things but oh here it is just wanted to know it's delivering an affordable home care guarantee to American families and you wanted to

weigh in on that a bit and I know it's a lot of expense this could be a lot of appeal I just know where the money would come from what are you thinking well I was a caregiver from the early 90s until about 2013 and I had several different clients that I had worked for, some for two, three years.

And, you know, I am not a certified nurse. I'm not a certified therapist. I did mainly my jobs were housekeeping, bathing, and medication, not prescribing meds, but, you know, making sure they took their medicine. But when each one of my clients got to that point where they will be on my pay raise or my ability, I always just, you know, told the state, you know, this is above what I'm capable of doing. We need to make other arrangements, whether it's family or a facility. But even back then, they didn't really bet a lot of the people that were becoming caregivers.

And I think that's important, especially now, because there's just so many people out there that could possibly be taking care of your loved one that is probably not maybe the best person or the most qualified. So I really think if they're going to start a program like this, they really need to get people, first of all, that care. second of all, that have some qualifications besides showing up every day, and just make sure that your loved one is being taken care of for the money that they're getting paid. Okay, my question, though, is do you really want the federal government in charge of such things, though? Because that would be the plan, according to the Democrats in the Senate, that signed on to this delivering an affordable home care guarantee? No, I don't.

I think the government's got their pinky, their toe, their tongue, everything. and everything. And I think that it's time to limit what they are allowed to do in our personal lives. But unfortunately, Bill, there's a lot of elderly that don't have family members. They're kind of stuck, and they've got to kind of get the benefits and the services that they can get. And a lot of times, that's through the state, through the government agencies. And it's unfortunate it that has to be that way, but that's the reality of it. All right. Thank you, Vicki.

770, K&D, conspiracy theory Thursday calls. Good morning. Hi, who's this? Good morning. Oh, it's Lucretia. I forgot you were in the queue there. How could I forget, Lucretia, being in the queue? There we go.

Doing too many things at once. So there you go. What's on your mind? I want to talk about how calling somebody a good. conspiracy theorist is a conspiracy in itself. And why it is, it's a thought-terminating cliche. It's loaded language. Those two words act as a stop sign on thinking, you're people right away, because it's not what the mainstream is telling you. It's outside the Overton window, so to speak, right? Yeah. Yeah. And so it's not nice. Well, it's kind of like when people bring up,

well, you're being racist or you're being homophobic or you're being Islamophobic. It's about to shut down the conversation, isn't it? Right. Exactly. You know, and I've called up before talking about, you know, you can't solve a problem from a level of a problem. You know, all this depression, all this murders or, you know, crime and everything is part of the training that we're given with the elite allowed to do things, whatever, just all the different things. The, the whole medical situation is just such a fraud. And they truly are out killing people. I mean, that's my design. But what I wanted, you know, yesterday, I called and I was talking about the telluric lines.

And it's about the free energy in the past. Millions, millions of cables, of copper, where they would literally go to the tour lyric lines. They were talked about. What the heck is a telluric line? Please define your term so people don't think you're a nut, all right? Right, exactly. I was wondering, is that real? So I typed it in.

AI said it's a band, all these bands around the earth that is like an electromed. magnetic energy. Oh, okay. All right. So essentially what they're doing here is the theory that you're operating on is that we had a freer energy because we built cables into parts of the Earth's crust where there were telleric lines, some magnetic lines. I'm just kind of like, I'm taking a guess on this, and you can tell me if I'm right or not. And then you're going to use the energy form from the Earth's rotation, kind of like a generator, right? Not rotation. Not rotation, just the electrical magnetic energy, the negative in the sky is positive recharge. That's quite clouds there. It's not just wind blowing, keeping them up. Okay.

Now, do you think that we are not rotating because we're flat like many people write me about and that's something they're really big on too? Well, I'm listening to an astrophysicist that absolutely says, I mean, right now they say it's, you know, 99.99% accuracy that there's no, Newton's love gravity and or yeah okay well we don't want to get too far uh a thing all right so anyway complete your thought because i'm almost out of time and i turn into a pumpkin okay because there's a they've removed all this they created laws they made everybody take it down because then you wouldn't get insured so this fraudulent scientist we have as you well know CO2 is it will be it so yeah well i think you're wrong on the uh taking down the spikes from the building because you

wouldn't be insured insured for once they they they called those lightning rods, Lucretia? Exactly. That's a fraud. They literally proved that they were the ones that were the safest building. So that's a fraud. That's what he said, but it's BS. It's like saying CO2 is what's causing our problem. All right. Thank you for the call. Something else to send my mind a reeling. 770K-M-ED.

Hi, this is Mark from Jay Austen, and I'm on KMED.

856. Time for a few more conspiracy theory Thursday calls. Good morning. Hi, who's this? This, Gene. Hi, Jane. It's on your mind. Okay, I got a couple things on my mind.

Okay. What am you talking about abortion today? Yes. How many ill-legates have their babies aborted or their kids transitioned? I really couldn't answer that. It's an interesting question. All I was talking about is that they're upset that the cost of fuel is so high that it's difficult to fly people in here to get their abortions. Poor babies. But anyway, what I really called about is, you know, that thing for the 250th anniversary? Yes. President Trump should have country western singers.

and that one singer that he had on singing the National Anthem, I'd love to see him back because I would love to hear that song. You can actually hear every word because he's not yelling at. Oh, are you speaking of the National Anthem or God Bless the USA from Lee Greenwood? Well, he sang the National Anthem. Oh, okay. Yeah, I forget which one it was, but I guess the President is talking about actually just doing it kind of a rally since A lot of the stories don't want to perform in that right now.

But a point well taken, Gene. Thank you. I'm almost out of time. Let me grab another call or two. Hi, good morning. Who's this? Hey, David. Hey, David.

Go ahead. Hey, I just wanted to talk to you talking about home care. And, you know, about what now? About what now? Home care. Home care, yeah. We were talking about that, yeah. Yeah.

And so, you know, I have a little sister. My parents passed away. And so she came to live with us. She's 62 years old, my younger sister. You know, we didn't know when we went to the state to get, you know, medical care and stuff like that, that we were awarded so many hours for her care. So let's say we were awarded 100 hours a month for care. But in order to get paid for that or for her to receive that money for us to take care of her,

we would have to go through a company. So basically you'd have to go through a brokerage house. So the brokerage, you know, you go through them, they get half the money, you get the other half of the money. Really? So if it's $20 an hour, they get $10 an hour, you get $10 an hour. So it's like they're not getting, if you're awarded that through the state, if you're awarded that through the federal program that they have, why does it need to have to go to a company, a broker? Well, because someone has to grift off of it, it's a federal program for crying out loud. And second of all, they're probably saying, well, we need the grifting corporation in order to prevent fraud.

Maybe that's what they're talking about. Maybe that's what it's all about. But there's so many other people involved. You have somebody that you have to go through to the state. They keep an eye on her. They check on her monthly or every song that they get paid. Yeah, I don't have all the answers. Boy, you just brought up an interesting thing because I didn't realize that they took half of it.

Well, maybe we talk more about that tomorrow. Got a roll right now. Okay. Saving money has never been easier. At my Oregonedeals.com, you can purchase gift cards and gift certificates at a discounted price and say big
