Busy morning, we continue with Dr. Dennis Powers, retired professor of business law at Southern Oregon University with today's where past meets present. Dennis, welcome back. Always a pleasure having you on. How are you? And my friend, it is the same, uh,

with me, and we go back, you know, geez, 20 years probably or within a year or two after you first joined. Actually, how long have you been with KMBED, 25 years? Let's see, it'll be 25 years on 9-11 this year. It'll be 25 years. And probably 23 years of doing talk radio by myself. I think we only did just the all-news morning for maybe a year, year-and-a-half. I'm getting a little short of memory on that one. It's just been a, it's about a long ride. What can I say here? Okay.

Well, not only that, you've been doing everything, you know, from program manager, climbing up towers, you know, going ahead and making sure that the transmission works. Well, I don't climb the towers. I don't climb the towers, but I am a little bit of that Marco Rubio guy here. Okay? You know, just don't talk about it, all right. Hey, I wanted to shift to your historical profile here. We're in this wonderful time, great time to go up to Crater Lake.

And it has to do with the Lady of the Woods, the Stone Woman of Crater Lake. And it's interesting how that came about. A lot of people don't know the history of it. And you write about that this morning on today's profile. Yeah, and Bill, this is one of the ones that we discovered. And the Lady of the Woods is perfect in terms of being able to have a, a great day trip, and then also being able to go ahead and see history at work. In this case, the Lady of the Woods goes back over 100 years, the winter of 1917, if you will. The reports

of a discovered stone woman came into Crater Lake Park headquarters. There was a naked figure that reclining bill against the large lava rock, full relief, legs bent, one arm placed over a head as of shielding away danger. It was located in the lake's rim. And what happened was that there was so much, the media was incredulous at this find with stories such as mummy woman found in the woods, an ancient figure of women discovered. What happened, though, was that about four years later, the true origin was revealed first to the general public. It turned out, Bill, that Dr. Earl Russell Bush, who is the official surgeon for the U.S. Engineers in 1917, he was stationed in Crater Lake National Park, and he had a little time in his hands. Boy, we can go to that one

these days. Yeah, so he starts chiseling then, I guess, right? He starts chiseling with rock sculpture tools. He persuades the people just to keep it quiet, pledged all the secrecy. he did tell the park superintendent who told the U.S. Park Commissioner about the fact that he had sculpted it. But then the media kept wondering, what is this all about? They were going absolutely crazy about this, including that the curator of archaeology at the Oakland Museum Bill thought the lady was the cast of an actual woman. Oh, yeah, well, I was thinking it kind of one of those situations like, Pompeii, right? Yeah, and you know you can see it now. And what happened, though, is that it became

so popular that the Forest Service had to go ahead and make a path that it passes the south end of the rangered dormitory over a creek that you go over a small bridge and then Westford, a few hundred feet to the actual site. And you can actually see it. You keep thinking, well, you know, this is really interesting and amazing, especially with Crater Lake being open, day trips during the summer, history that you can see now, and wonder, gee, what would happen, Bill, if the park doctor was doing that now? Let's see now. What would the environmental nuts do? You're destroying a rock. Yeah, destroying some kind of special rock with special significance or whatever it is. Right, that talks to you. Okay. Sometimes it does.

It's a really incredible sight, and also there's just so much to do there. When Judy and I first came here from 35 years ago, we made all these different trips. You know, as a matter of fact, my great-grandfather is buried up in Portland. He was a farmer with his wife and the Willamette family, and we just felt that this was totally home when we went there and we just kept exploring. All right. Very good. And we'll, this is definitely our, shall we say, palpitzer for this time of day.

It's the Lady of the Woods, the Stone Woman of Crater Lake, Dr. Dennis Powers, a retired professor of business law. Doc, we got a lot of lawfare to go through. All right. So why don't we do? I have to ask you about this judge, this judge that is ordering President Trump to reopen all the asylum hearings and just say throw it wide open here. We'll do that in a couple of minutes here with Dr. Dennis Powers. Jay Austin and Kelpity, gold and silver buyers in Ashland and Grants Pass. I'm a long-term holder of physical gold and silver. You do with it what you will. I'm a big

fan of this and I'm still noticing that even with some recent hits, what's happening to the central banks? They're continuing to buy physical gold and silver, to a lesser extent, silver. But one way the other. All I care about is that when you are ready to buy and or sell is that you talk to the recognized experts and you take your business to the local company and ignore all those national talk show hosts that are saying, oh, give it to the 800 line here.

The email of the day on the Bill Meyer show, sponsored by Central Point Family Dentistry. See all they have to offer at Central Point Family Dentistry.com and call for an appointment. Dr. Steve Nelson and his staff are next to Mazadlan Mexican restaurant, just off Pine in Central Point. This is the Bill Myers Show on 1063 KMED. And I'm glad you're here. We are live from the Army-Nabee Marine Store Studio. Dr. Dennis Powers. All right, Doc, I want to talk about some of the lawfare against the Trump administration here.

And this has to do with a federal judge in Rhode Island on Friday. And I popped you that story. I knew that you were going to keep up on it. But it ended up striking down just a sleut. of immigration policies enacted by the Trump administration, 130-something pages, and John McConnell, Jr., writing that, you know, essentially that the immigration doors need to be wide open again. Is that pretty much, am I characterizing this correctly in your view? Oh, absolutely.

And you see, what's really damaging about this is that, you know, I've known state judges that do have very fine job. They really take that responsibility. But when you get into federal, especially with Obama and Biden, you have political chicanery in terms of these district court judges. In this case, if you take a look at Judge John McConnell, first of all, he was known as a great Democrat fundraiser. Why? Well, before his appointment, by Obama. The appointment bill was one to where he had been the head of the Democratic Party, head of the party, the party chief, the czar, for like 12 to 13 years of the Democratic Party, raising money for them. And his reward was to be appointed a U.S. District Court judge.

and of course the Republicans, you know, went ahead to vote against them, but, you know, they cut their deals and they didn't stand up as well as they should have. And McConnell is not only was known for being an environmentalist, well, I'll just use the word stooge, but he was also one that when he graduated from Case Western Law School was certainly not in terms of, you know, up in the top. top of his class. He was just a very good shrill for the Democratic Party. So he makes his ruling that the processing freeze by the Trump administration unlawfully targeted legal immigrants based on the country of their birth. Okay, let's take a look at that. Well, if I understand correctly, the president can direct that. Can he not? Sure. But you see, here's the argument that the far-left commies are using, and call them what they are. These are communists.

They say Trump is racist, therefore his policies are racist. And since they are racist, they cannot stand that, in other words. Exactly. It makes no difference as to whether he has constitutional power or not. This is a civil war. And when you take a look and I was reading through every page of that 131, and you know, you're very kind to call it a screed. this you know first of all district court judges my friend they hire clerks who write this i doubt if he

really read the whole thing i doubt if he really even understood it okay so it's probably a staff that wrote it but let me just read a little a section out of this one um he wrote that the actions to lock eligible asylum seekers out of the immigration system and deny others temporary work permits had made it functionally impossible for a broad swath of people to remain in the country. The resulting squeeze, he wrote, placed the lives of countless individuals on hold solely by virtue of their countries of birth. And I'm thinking to myself, yeah, that's the whole purpose. Just because you happen to be born in some place, you weren't born here. So you don't just get automatic admission or asylum here any longer.

Where am I wrong at my characterization of this? You're right because take a look at it. It's 39 designated countries. It's work permits, green cards, asylum applications, travel list. And let's look when Obama went ahead. Do we wonder why the Somalis got in the way they did to Minnesota? Well, because we needed more people that were going to do the jobs that Americans wouldn't do in Somalia, ripping off the federal government, apparently, in this case. Well, actually it was, when we go back to it, Bill, there was a civil war in Somalia. And so all those that wanted to, they wanted, of course, get into a country with green pastures. And so Obama said, okay, Somalia is a place of asylum. If they say that they wanted asylum from Somalia, they got the country. And this went back for 20 years.

You had all of these places, Bill, by Biden. and Obama who went ahead and said, these places are where you get asylum. So they come in through South America, or wherever it is. And then they would speak the magic phrase. I'm from Somalia. I wish to, you know, become, or claim asylum, right? That's what you would have. 39 countries that they could say that they were looking for asylum from. It was just getting more vote bearers, having more people on lists that would vote Democratic and more. disillusion and disillusion of this country. So when you go, and I read those pages like you did, and it was all result reasoning.

It was, just tell me what we need to do to go ahead and show how much I want to be a Supreme Court judge. All right. Now, let me ask you, though. It's abominable. Okay, I thought that we were at this point, though, where these district court judges were not just going to make these wide-ranging kind of decisions. Is this the kind of decision, this opening up and saying, nope, you've got to turn on the asylum fire hose of people for the third world once again.

Is this something that the president can then reappeal to the Supreme Court? He's going to have to, but you see the thing is that anytime you have a civil war that we're going through, And, you know, especially when you see the judges have been appointed by the far-left socialist radicals, you will have this type of distortion, and they are clearly not following the Constitution. And what they're saying is, if I can go ahead, this is what, if you interviewed them, but of course they wouldn't tell us, what it is is saying that I have a chance to get a raise. I can go to the Court of Appeals. So you're saying, then, that this is.

You're saying this judge then, what you're asserting here, this Judge McConnell, that you're saying, is essentially dangling his name out there for a future Democratic administration saying, look what I did for you. Is that what you're saying? They all do. They do. And you know, if you go into when they were first nominated and then accepted, and then if you can get into it, you can use AI, but you've got to be a little careful, you know, in terms of the facts.

but this whole idea of you wonder why 95% of Democrat appointed judges, and this is Biden and Obama, are voting against our country. And when people say, oh, it's just because they have Trump derangements syndrome, oh, no, it's not. All these people went after firebomb Elon Musk when he was going after their prime thing, which is get money to non-profits, to then kick it back to, us so we can keep our office as a Democrat. Yeah, you've got to continue the racket. Now, my question, my question for you this morning here, Dennis, is that is the Trump administration

saying, okay, we're going to open it up right now, or are they going to say, nope, we'll see you in court? Has there been an answer yet to what the judge did on Friday? Do you know? No, there hasn't been an answer. But on the other hand, the question, what they were first doing was pausing. they weren't saying we're not going to continue these 39 asylum, you know, green, all these different types of ways that people get in the country. They just say, wait a minute, we've got to take a

look to see how many people have come in, how many people have used it. We want to see, like, for example, which ones are still having a civil war that are being allowed by the Democratic Party to flood into this country. They're just trying to bring some common sense and reason into it. And this judge, who was appointed by Obama, who was racist in chief, is doing the same thing. And when you read the arguments, it's, you know, Bill, it's my friend, it's almost like going back to the chief justice's opinion on Obamacare. And you knew that whatever he wanted to, he was going to try to uphold it. He could make it whatever it wants. So you looked at the one. Harvard. All right. You read the 131 pages here. You went through this. And are you

seeing strong enough language that would withstand an appeal to the Supreme Court, giving what you know about the Supreme Court, does this stand, does Judge McConnell stand, or does it eventually get smacked down, said, no, this is the president's under the president's purview to do? Well, legally, we're going to have to wait and see. The reason is, is that fact that you're going to be having negotiations going on between the parties as to what they're going to try to do. There's the way the semblance of organization. Legally, we're going to be running into the delays that are going through, and they're going to be appealing the order, which means that the order cannot be finalized. Okay.

But on the other hand, what's important, Bill, is the fact that this is another example of the hundreds of examples where the Civil War is good and valid. Yeah, enough of this, hey, we're just reaching across the aisle or Republican-type things. It's like, no, you're not dealing with normal individuals. All right. The other question I would have for you this morning here is, what is next on the Supreme Court docket? What cases do we have to look forward to? Is there anything that we should be on the lookout for at this point in time? What do you know?

Well, we'll have to wait and see because the court is very, as they should, not clear of when they're going to release decisions. But birthright citizenship, of course, is going to be the one that's big there. Yeah, do you think he wins on the birthright citizenship? Just your opinion? I don't think so. You don't think so? I don't think so because this chief justice goes back and forth to try to get 9063 decisions. And the whole thing is vote trading.

We know that we, yeah, and that's why it's always been. Okay. What about then? The other one is there was the, is it the Barbara case? I think that's the one in which the president's ability to. fire people within the executive branches? What do you think? Oh, part of the problem that we have, Bill, is that the power of the president to let people go is one that he does have a constitutional power to do. However, over time, there have been different statutes enacted in certain places,

especially the Bush regime that was compromises. So as to a blanket statement that he can or he can't, it does have to wait in terms of the individual issue as to who he's letting go. Now, for example, there's a big controversy over the Federal Reserve system versus, oh yeah, the big one that was coming through was the FCC. And there are different anomalies, different statutes that come in. there. And so these are all in different places, Bill, as to appeal. So you're not thinking that there is a solid path for the president to have the authority to fire everyone, or is it going to be a more

of a nuanced kind of decision, in your opinion? These are, well, first of all, they're all going to be a challenge by the far-left socialist radicals. I mean, take a look at just days before we're going have this fight on the White House lawn that two Virginia citizens, you know, who you don't have to even worry about their party affiliation, said that it cannot go on. We need an injunction. They're from Virginia. Big question, do they have standings? My friend, they don't care if they have standings or not. The whole thing is just throw enough monkey wrenches into what Trump's trying to do to try to stop it. And if they can get past the election, we're looking at a power theater by the socialist radicals. Well, I tell you

it's going to be interesting time. You know, Linda and I were talking the other day. I remember when we used to go to those hold their feet to the fire events at Federation for American Immigration Reform? Remember those a few years ago? And we were going there to Washington, D.C. in the summertime, or usually late spring or early fall, when they would do these things. For a number of years in row, we went out there. And we're thinking, oh, no, now we would really like to go there because back then all the fountains and such were all dirty and shut down and covered with graffiti. And so it just looked like garbage.

Now it's all pretty. It's got it all pretty again. I'll tell you, what a deal. I'd love to go there this year. And then again, in this Civil War, your listeners have to understand this is a civil war. Most of us, even if we're retired, are using our time to help other people or being at our businesses. are earning a living. And all of these riots that are happening are being orchestrated through far-left causes that are coming in. All this settlement are actually dissatisfaction we're seeing

is by those that really want to have the power. And you know, the big problem, Bill? The big problem is all these Democrats that are there saying, oh, well, I'm for this and I'm for that, and I'm going to go ahead and support Schumer. They're not going to be part of it. if Schumer gets in with his boys, they aren't making enough money. Dennis, final question I have for you. Did you ever study much about Bob Packwood, former Senator Packwood, who died over the weekend? Or did you know him or ever meet him? I have written about him.

I believe, yes, I did meet him a couple of times because they came in here in 1992. Yeah, that was right near the end of his tenure before the women's problems ended up cropping up, you know, two, three years later. Isn't that right, Bill? Because think about Ted Kennedy. I mean, he even had them drowned. But once again, that was different because, you know, this was even before Believe All Women.

But needless to say, you had a bunch of people in the staffers. You know, a lot of his former staffers said that he was pretty handsy. Let's just put it that way, okay, and had some issues. So he wasn't conducting himself particularly honorable. But, you know, he wasn't, but compared to the other Democrats that are on the Hill now. All's forgiven? Bob Pack would bring back Popwick? Well, I don't know.

Part of the thing is, is I wish the Republicans would fight harder against the Democrats, especially given the fact that look what's happening with the radical who's going ahead and was calling all veterans, cowards. Yeah. Well, if Bob Packwood were running today, though, the one thing I would say, If Packwood were running today, we'd be calling him a rhino. You do know that. I mean, a program.

Oh, yeah, and especially on the unfortunate thing, you're right, Bill. The unfortunate thing is that rhinos are the only way they're going to be elected in Oregon. That's the problem. Yeah, that is a challenge for us right now because he was a pro-gun control Republican, and he was a pro-environmentalist, although I don't have problems with being in favor of a clean environment. That's fine. environmentalism is a completely different deal. And he was a big feminist promoter. And I find that ironic that he ends up being taken down, you know, for that by the women's problem, hoisted by his own

Hansi Pertar, so to speak. But anyway, I appreciate the call, as always. Catch you next week, for sure. How about that? Have a great one, and the best to both you and on the.

It's the Bill Meyer Show on KMED, Southern Oregon's Place to Talk. It's 846, the Diner 62. Real American Quiz, and today we talk about Seattle.

The best guys you've ever seen in Seattle. Venus Green in Seattle. At least that's how the show. Here Comes the Bride said back of the days. I was a little kid and Bobby Sherman was on that. He's actually singing that particular cut there. Perry Coma actually made it a hit, though, from what I understand. But we are talking about Seattle.

What happened in Seattle? And Ron is here. Hello, Ron. How are you doing? I'm doing good. How are you? I'm doing great. Ron, it was yesterday in history, June 7th, 1866.

Chief Seattle died near. the city named for him 13 years after the American settlers settlers founded the city. Chief Sealfe ends up dying in a nearby village of his people. And born sometime around 1790, Sealph was actually his name, it was spelled S-E-A-L-T-H. It was chief of the Duwamish in the Suquamish tribes who lived around the Pacific Coast Bay, now called Puget Sound. He was the son of a Suquamish father and a Duwamish mother. All those

swamishes. Anyway, it was to say. And since Chief Seattle had proved so friendly and welcoming, the settlers named their tiny new settlement in his honor when the settlers came. So the Euro-American settlers picked the site because of the forest. And the gold rush in California had created a booming market for timber. And soon most of the villagers were at work cutting trees and skidding them down a long shoot to a newly constructed sawmill. The shoot became known as Skid Row. And at that time, it became the main street in Seattle, and it kept its original name until 1903. What is the original Skid Row in Seattle called today, Ron? Is it A, Madison, B, Yessler Street? C. Is it James Street? D. Is it Marion Street? Or is it E? Alaskan

Street? Those are all streets in Seattle. But which one was the original Skid Row? A, B, C, D, or E? Let's go with A, Madison Street, and it's a steep street. Not the one, though. Appreciate you trying. Let me go to Kevin. Kevin is in Roosch. We have an open line here on the Diner 62 quiz.

Hello, Kevin. Hello. All right, it's not Madison. So what was the original Skid Row in Seattle? Was it B, Yessler, C, James Street, D, Marion Street, or E, Alaskin Street? What do you say? What was number two? Number two is, well, Yessler is B, and James Street, C, Marion, D, Alaskan E.

So is it Yisler, James, Marion, or Alaskan? What do you say? Let's go with James. You can go with James. Oh, sorry, it's not that. All right. I was holding for you out, holding out for you. Dan in Central Point.

All right. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, Dan. We have either Yesler, Marion, or Alaskin. What was the original Alaskan? You're going to say, you're thinking Alaskan. Yeah, it makes sense.

No, it wasn't Skid Row. Back then it was called Skid Row. What is it? What is it now? Hi, good morning. This is Bill. Who's this? Tom.

Tom, you have a 50-50 shot here. It's either Yessler or Marion. What was the street called today that used to be Skid Row? How about Yessler? Yesler. Yeah. When the Seattle Business District later moved north, the area became a haven for the drunks and the derelicks, and consequently Skid Rowter Skid Row became lingo for the bad area of any town. Yesler Way is Seattle's historic Pioneer Square District now, and it was renamed to honor Henry Yessler, Seattle's sixth mayor, and the industrialist who built the city's first steam-powered sawmill. Of course, I'm sure they probably think these days, Tom, that he was an evil map.

because, well, he was emitting carbon, I guess. I don't know if that's the story or not. But I'll tell you what, we're going to send you to Diner 62. Why don't you hang on, all right? We'll have some fun. All right. That'll be great fun. We'll have another Diner 62 quiz this week.

I'm not recommending that you go out and transplant your herbs this afternoon,

but with a little bit of care and, you know, making sure that the plant never dries out now until it starts rooting again or gets its new home. I think it's going to be absolutely fine. Even transplanting in a hundred-degree weather, pretty impressive. The road gardener is sponsored by Grange Co-op, Saturday's 10 to noon, Sunday, morning on core at nine on kmED hi i'm cassie from clauser drilling and i'm on kmED it's 853 chriese is here from no wires now on open for business sheree good to see you good morning hey good morning good morning so are you going to get me signed up for this new direct tv deal

because you were talking about this a couple of weeks yes when we last hand you on open for business and open for business is when we talk with locally owned and operated business people and say, hey, these are the deals that are coming on, sponsored segment here. And you said that this is something that I should try out, that you want to have me be the guinea pig so I can talk about this. And what is this? This is not, because I have direct TV, but I have. You have a dish. I have dish.

And I've had that. And I've been very happy with your dish. Since the pandemic. So you've had it for six years. Yeah, six years. You loved the DVR. You love everything about it. So the new system I have, the Gemini Air.

It's kind of like takes the place of the hopper. Okay. No satellite. No wires. My business name finally means something. Okay. My daughter can come up to your house. She'll hook it all up for you, show you how to use it.

She's also going to get you Hulu free for life, Disney Plus free for life, and ESPN, free for life. And so I've been hearing from NASCAR people, they can't get their NASCAR on dish. So this new system gives you so much more than what you have. Plug and play. Take it with you. Yeah, what are kind of the, what are the cost of this, like it is contrasted to see with this service? Because like I said, like you'll make sure that whatever's best for somebody, was one of your clients, hey, if maybe dishes best for them.

But what about this? It's Gemini. The Gemini Air instead of a hopper. Okay. You have to have high speed internet. So if you live out in the boonies and you don't have internet, it's not going to work. All right. So is my spectrum at 100 megabits per second?

and adequate for this then? Not so much. So what my daughter does is when she comes out and does the installation for you, keep in mind it's no contract. And if you don't like it for whatever reason, we'll hook up your dish back up. Okay. Yeah, so it's so easy. It's okay to try it. Come into the store and we'll give you a demonstration. We'll show it to you. Yeah. How much of an internet connection do you think you need to run this correctly? When she comes out, she gets you the gig. So if you only have 100 mags when she comes to your house, she's going to help. you call whoever your provider is and she's going to get a faster internet for you and help you lower the bill. Oh, okay. So she's going to do a lot. It's worth it for my daughter to come out.

She's not going to just do your install. She's going to help you lower your other bills to your cell phone and all that. So you're making this a real family business then? Yeah, because we got to get yours lowered. Okay. I'm sure your internet has gone up, so we need to lower that. Well, you, you know, I'm kind of wondering if this would be something that would be helpful for my mother because, you know, she's not allowed to put a dish. she's not allowed to put a dish in her apartment complex. This would be perfect. Yeah. And yet she likes to watch a lot.

But you just need a good internet connection to do this. And then so Kristen can come out, hook it up for your mom, and your mom can call my daughter whenever she needs her. It's so nice to have that. What does it run roughly to start with, let's say? So the Gemini Air for the entertainment package is $99. If you have smart TVs in the other room, you don't have to pay a $10 fee. It's a smart TV. so she can download the app for you on your other TVs.

And just use the TV remote. Okay. So easy. All right. So very good. Yeah. But one way or the other, this is certainly, it sounds a little more reasonable than what you're doing with like a total spectrum of television.

No weather. No weather issues. No frying. You know, the hoppers would get hot and then they'd pixelate and people have all these issues. There's no issues with the Gemini air unless you don't have internet. All right. Well, I look forward to being a guinea pig and I'll be able to report back to you.

couple of weeks. Yes. That sounds great. So the number for No Wires, if you wanted to talk with her, and you can discuss these kind of things. And what you do is that you help people save money on their Internet, on their phone, on their, gosh, what else do you provide there to? The new security system.

I just had it installed in my house. Amazing. You can put a sensor on the back of your wash machine. It will tell you if it's leaking. You could put a sensor on your pipes. It will tell you if they're freezing. I'm paying 60 bucks a month. I have cameras in the front of my house.

I have cameras in the back of the house. I know when my kids are coming home at one in the morning. I love it. And it calls 911 if someone tries to break in. You guys got to come talk to me about it. It's awesome. What's the name of it? Vivit.

It's the Vivid security system. It's been around for a while, but it just didn't dawn on me how awesome it was. I was getting sick of the Google. I was paying $9.89 for Google. It would record, but you wake up in the morning. Then you look at the video and see that your car's been broken into. This has these awesome lights and you can say, F you, blah, blah, blah.

I can see you and it's cool. So it's more proactive than reactive, I guess is what you're getting at here. All right. Well, I got about 50 seconds left, so I want to make sure that people, you know, know how they can get a hold of this. No wires now. Give me your address real quick. 1560, Biddle Road, Sweet B. I'll be there today, 10 to 4.

If you switch your service over, you get a $200 visa card when you mentioned Bill Meyer. Okay, now restrictions may apply, but talk to Cherise, and she'll give you all the details, if no wires now. And Gemini Air is what I'm going to be trying out, and in two or three weeks or so. Yeah, she's leaving, but she'll be back, and I'll get it for you within two weeks. Oh, good. Okay, yeah.
